Although the statement was not loud, the sound waves travelling from a distance still past through Joshua ears drum. Now with him hearing that he paused his ongoing movements and turned in the direction the where the sound came from. Right when that happened, Motoa who was also walking alongside Joshua also stopped and looked towards the angle of where he now faces.
"Oh,"
"How is that so," Joshua said as he looked to the towards the left of him. Even though he did not have to stop, a slight feel of interest was there. as he wanted to know why the individual made such statement. With his eyes falling into that line, he saw a person leaning against the cracked cream wall.
The specific appearance of the person could not be depicted due to the dusty wind air and the distance from where he is motion and where they stood. But could be noted was that, at a timely interval, the figure would place a seemingly small glass looks to have some hot tea at his mouth.
"The ship's equality is off by a few centimeters and from what I see there are some small hidden damages on it."
"In despite them being small and inconspicuous, they can lead to major problem which may be the ship's downfall in these unpredictable waters."
The dusty winds went by and the figure who was at the far left of both persons, took a sip from his stylish cup which released repeated steam said slowly and fluently.
Joshua eyes flashed when he heard, he can understand that if what the person said such small problems may be a major danger to the ship. But why his eyes sharpened was that, 'how does he now this.' Joshua does not neat to doubt that, if someone were to come up close to the ship of theirs, Laffitte would not just sit and watch this transpire.
If not hypnotizing them and kill them, he would have caught them and torture them for his enjoyment and make them speak w what were such actions for. Don't look on his calm and smiling appearance which make him seems like a another cheerful individual ,for under such face, there hidden, a crazy, torturous, face.
So there is no way for this person to be alive and be able to speak such things and wanting and most importantly Joshua did not sense anyone watching them from the time they docked. Therefore, if this unknown person is able to realize that the distance he stood, then maybe..
"Your a shipwright," Joshua said without a bit of doubtfulness in this voice. This must be the answer for this situation. He must be a shipwright not just any shipwright, a terrible high end expertise shipwright, although Joshua is not sure the exact distance he stood from the ship and visualized. But just by picking such things up without viewing the ship one away his skills his nowhere normal.
"Something like that," the figure who some distance off answered in a bland tone.
"Why did you tell me that," Joshua said with a little coldness in his voice. It doesn't matter if he admitted it or not, but the question is why did you let him that. Joshua knows that otherwise from his crewmates he has no relations with anyone else. Most of who knows are dead and for this person who could more than likely knows that he is a pirate, There should be absolutely no reason he should tell him that.
" Its nothing really, its was just a small eyeliner I picked up," the person said as he as cools his tea. Despite such that, a small hook appeared at the corner of his seeable mouth.
Joshua raised an eyebrow slightly, Motoa how was silent from the beginning coughed lightly while a his eyes flashed with a hazy colour. An eyeliner, even if you tell that they don't have to believe it and even if its true, you will get no reward or benefit from it. An action like that is totally unnecessary or maybe he thought that they would fall either way if he did not mention it.
That may possible be it.
The soiled winds lowly howled, blowing the the helms of the three individuals clothes which seemed as if they not apart of the world.
" Join my crew," Joshua asked without a hit of hesitation. The skills of the person are seems really top notch and such a professional shipwright should be on his crew. Back then he did say that he should seek for a shipwright but he never once actual looked. Even so. the time he spent in the grandline is still short there is no need to actually look on that.
However, with that being said, everything will add up over time. But this make note of this although Joshua is recruiting the person for his excellent ship wrighting skills that alone can't let him look upon. So there must be some additional things otherwise from his profession. Motoa who heard this did not have any fluctuation on his face, what Joshua wants to do its up to him.
" Yes I will join," the person said as swirled his glassy cup which sparkled with a faint.
When these words past through Joshua ears, his eyes sharpen even more and long ray of black glint went across his eyes. For the person's response was too quick and decisive, there was no thinking, there was no rejection just upright agreed like that. This is a little weird, too weird a matter of fact, noone would just jump and join a pirate crew like that otherwise from some occasions. After all, Joshua crew is still unknown to the whole world, myriads of persons do not know the name of the Black flame pirates.
So this caught Joshua a little off-guard, for even he himself was entirely serious, he just simply spoke the words which were at the tip of his tongue. But yet still, the person responded with an agreeable statement. Even Motoa who was coughing continuously stopped abruptly, shrap ray of blue light flashed through his 'dead' eyes. For the man's answer complying tone must be taken into consideration.
Meanwhile, when both individual's heads were flashing through these thoughts, the persons has already started walking towards them. The sounds of a high heeled shoes echo in the dusty earth, the shrap silver light of shoes twinkle with a white light as grey and black colours are formed by the different light pitches.
The metal like long shoes which went straight up the leg of the person, had a dark purple colour which had rims of silver at different points. Right where the metallic shoes reaches his leg, there bent in, was a flat piece of harden material which was in a darker hue of than the shoes itself. Then right beneath those both, was a black linen pants that has a fine vertical line of seam running right down.
On his upper body, there was a complete white shirt that had a few equally folded, section which ran in a parallel order. Under the short collars of his shirt an thin X black line moved to left and right areas of his body and down that equalized path. At the part where the intersected, a tie which was made in a short chain was noted. In the kite like figure a scarlet crystal which permed with many glittering red lights, in the middle the slim oval has a blue crystal which gave off calm feel. Then at the end, a purple crystal was embedded in the silver shield such a gem such immediate signs of a protective coating.
Over the white shirt was a black greyish purple vest, that had 3, 2 pairs of buttons in the middle. The jacket was of the same hue but, the collar for it was in a pitch black colour and on the left section, there hooked in a curved format a a silver piece of jewelry. His hands were not sees but he seems to wear a black hand covering and for his fingers there were several pieces of finger jewelry.
Each he took a step forward a silver balled top cane travelled in link with his step. At the near end of it a stylish design was noted and each time hit the earth it punctured it with its pointy end. HIs entire face could not be seen, has he had on a mask that had four horn. The two bottom ones where bent in had a greyish black colour and for the tips it was only in gray. The upper ones wher now bent outwards and these ones were in black which faded out in a cherry red colour.
The face of it was silver and at 4 points of the horn a purple line stream was there and this stream continued in a diamond format in the middle.

"Its a pleasuure to make you acquaintance,"
"The name of this humble one is.....Nixon,"
Nixon who looked around 10'2" placed his hands near chest as he leaned forward and spoke in a very eloquent tone. Inspite of his face being hidden just inferring from his tone, his age was around 27.
"The name of this old one is Motoa," Motoa coughed as he gave back a polite response.
"The one right here is the captain, you should be aware of that already," Motoa eyes flashed as he talked.
"Ahh, yes, you are indeed right," Nixon didn't react in any unknowing manner but answered calmly.
" That being said, we'll be fellow crewmates from now on," he smiled mysteriously as he adjoin this statement.
Motoa smiled and Joshua stood there with an indifferent express, the whole setting was really weird. The event being played through your brain gives off very forced, eerie vibe but even though this atmosphere was given off. No-one directly pointed it out put calmly went along with this scene. Joshua does not understand why Nixon chose to follow them, but as long as he moves suspiciously around him or try anything funny he will instantly kill him.
Motoa is also aware of this as well, him being old. he has alot of experiences and so he too can pinpoint many things. So without Joshua telling him, he has already taken note of this.
"Captain your here,"
"Navy on the island already on us."
Right where Nixon stood, a shorter figure than him unhurriedly walked by him. Nixon who was smiling, face cracked down little by little, until it went into a slight gloom. He almost never felt the person, inspite him being so close, his step were fast yet slow, calm yet dangerous. The silent bloody aura which Guzen has hidden was filled with nothing by madness, blood and chaos. This made the hair on his hand stand up a little as the crazy filled intent creepily passed by him. He couldn't help but squint his eyes under the mask, cause this person was dangerous.
"The navy, hugh.." Joshua eyes flashed, if anyone does not remember Joshua the navy obviously would.
"Yea, I just killed a few," Guzen said as he flicked his hands which hand on blood on it to the ground. Just in the bloody path he came from, there was many bodies whose clothes were died in red heaped up in the small alley. Blood was splattered all over both side walls and on the bodies or on the ground. There were many intestines, churned organs and blood sapping the whole area with its thick, yucky substances.
Cut body parts, smashed marrows and many other things were mixed in the alley giving off a sickening vibe.
"I see," Joshua answered uncaringly.
"Who are these persons, " Guzen asked as he know acknowledged the new faces around Joshua.
"New members," Joshua replied as he faintly looks around him
"Additional crewmates, hehehee.... they should have good strength," Guzen chuckled as a dim ray of red flash through his eyes.
"There are here already," Motoa moved hissself away, to cough in his clothes.
...
Then at different points, many persons in same monotonous white clothes marched in unison as he hold their muskets upwards. The perosns in the surroundings hurriedly gave way as the band of lawful men make their presence.
"Why is the navy gathering here?"
"I don't know,"
"There probably after some terrible pirates,"
As the persons around gave way to the still marching troops, many of them gave sounds of whisper to each other as they try to determine to the situation. For the navy unit to condense like this, it more than likely means there are here to clean up some pirates who are roaming secretly on the island.
"Damn navy,"
Such a movement also made the many pirates which were around to hurry and hide, for such a large unit of navy squadrons moving, what happens next so no small issue. Inspite of them not knowing who exactly they are after, it does not stop them from them from hiding in the gathered crowd.
The dense amount of soldiers continue to pour from all and the dust in the air continue to raise up as the heavy stomping of boots move about.
They when they all units met up, they stopped, turned then aimed their weapons at particular group of persons.
"It seems like we missed one," rear admiral Afro said as he walked a little up to the fore front of the surrounded persons.
"I have already sent a few soldiers to get rid of him," rear admiral Ezan who had a messed up uniform said as he eats a big chicken leg.
"If help is needed, reporting for assistance should be without any pressure," rear admiral Grin who appeared at a deep right hand corner said as he holds onto his sheathed blade.
"The three rear admiral are out,"
"My god!"
"Who are these persons to cause this,"
Many persons expressed a surprised tone, for the 3 strong men who can take on pirates whose bounties are around 100 million to deal with you. One must be a big deal, even so all maybe surprised but they don't know the group of perosns which are surrounded. They have never seen or even heard of this unfamiliar face and party, but can can this be.
For the three strong men of the T6 navy base to come out for this group, the strength of them can't be weak. But who are they, it the first time they are seeing such group except from the lot who were perplexed the few who knew kept there mouths shut.
After all, three rear admirals and many elites have surrounded them, if they can't come out alive under such force there was no need for them to be known. Cause they will stay unknown if there meet there doom. They pirates who have seen the three rear admirals hid and slowly took away themselves what happens next they don't want to be in the crossfire.
"Two unfamiliar faces are in the lot," Grin said as he looks before him.
"Just kill them," Afro said with a little coldness in his voice. He saw them too but he did not care with there combine powers, it doesn't matter who is in the bunch they will die.
Joshua and the others who were in the center, should no signs of moving , the expressions on their faces was completely bland. It didn't matter who it was or much the navy were, there countenance had no change.
The winds slowly moved by and the citizens slowly drew themselves away as well cause they know things are about to get down.
"I will kill Chaos first," Grin eyes flashed, as long as he kills Joshua, if not all most of the contribution points. But not just he had that though so were the others, however, when they were about to draw their blades they felt a black mass burning their hands and this caused their expression to change.
.....
Few hours later
Navy headquarters-
Sengoku's office.
On a black well polished table, there many tasks of paper piled up to an extreme height there. From time to time, the calm face Sengoku would sign, write off or throw away some files as he goes through them. Despite the fact, that the several stacks of papers lessen repeatedly, when you look at his sides and before him. They were many pile of papers which surpassed the 6ft mark, the difference of what is on his desk and what is surrounding him.
Is was as if, it was a drop of water in the whole stream. Looking on this, Sengoku used his right hand which had a black coloured pen and rub his templates. He can feel a headache brewing at this very moment.
Knock....knock...
Hearing the knocking at his office door, Sengoku stopped his ongoing action, turned his head slightly, then said in a low sturdy voice,
"Come in."
