Shanks Pov:
'One day has passed and some interesting things have happened on our journey to Rezden. To begin with, we had a surprise encounter with the Knight Pirates.
The captain,[Jaegren Of The Night:Wanted Dead or Alive:$ 1,700,000,000] was strong, strong enough to probably fight the Bear to a standstill and he even had a chance of winning. His two vice-captains,who were twins, were also decently strong, having decent armament and observation'. The encounter was at the beginning of the night, just after the moon rose.

Shanks Pov:
I took a sip from my bottle of wine while I watched the ocean waves that swayed from side to side, while young tides occasionally popped up. The ship was relaxed and the weather was in perfect condition with the sun slowly going down, a phenomenon I'm sure is not common in this part of the world.
"*Thud*,*Bam*, *step*,*step*". The sound of steps echoed from the back of the ship.
I looked to the deck of the ship as the figure of kenny emerged from the back of the ship, drenched in water as he calmly sat down on the wooden floor, gathering his bearings as he finally relaxed after ten hours of continuously hanging on to the ship and defending himself from sea creatures that were looking for their next meal for the day. I faced the sea once my more as i said loud enough for him to hear,
" You okay?, I can't imagine you came out unscathed from that ordeal with the sea king". While in the middle of training, a sea king has occasionally popped up and it did today. I let him take care of it as I believed he was strong enough to handle it on his own.
And he proved me right as he did defeat and although he had some injuries at the end, went back to training right away, something i can respect. I heard him catch his breath for a few seconds before i heard him say in a tired tone,
'' I'll be fine in a couple of hours with some sleep and food. Mind cooking me something , captain?''. I nodded as I jumped down to the deck and walked to the kitchen to fix him something. I was out five minutes later and I placed the plate of chicken cutlet next to him with a bottle of beer.
He wasted no time and dug in . I sat next to him,sipping on the rum in silence. Ten minutes later, he was done and I had finished my bottle of rum.I took the plate and walked to the kitchen to wash it. I came out a minute later , only to spot Levi fully healed and healthy sitting next to Kenny, talking to him in enthusiasm.
I smiled at that before I jumped to the lookout, letting them have their brotherly bonding time. I eventually decided to take a nap to shake off the rum in my system. Night came and
While I was in dreamland, relaxing, I felt somebody shaking me and speaking, although I could barely make out what they were saying. I woke up as the voice became clearer and I identified it to be Levi's. I heard him say in hurried tone,
" Alright ,alright. I'm up Levi,I'm up, anyways, what's wrong?''. He just pointed at the sea in front of us that was filled with thirteen pirate ships, with the main one standing out as it was the largest of all the ships.
All the ships had torches on them , illuminating the sea around us. I looked at the pirate flag that hung on the ship, which had a skull with the symbol of a moon and two tiger fangs to the side.
And standing in front of the biggest ship was the intimidating figure of a 10 feet tall bear mink dressed in viking attire,only missing a viking helmet, with a shield on his back.
A large great sword was also sheathed on his back, while his hands were covered in two white metallic gauntlets. He stood menacingly,eyes glowing with a red hue and a stoic expression adorning his face and with his arms crossed. On his right was fox-male mink who,with his hand next to the sword sheath,looking ready to fight ,also dressed in viking attire.
And on his right was another mink , a polar bear mink to be precise ,also dressed in viking attire with a helmet this time.. He was also in a combat stance as his claws were out . I took my gaze off both of them to look at the other ships that housed a ton of minks , from bears to turtles ones, and they all looked ready to fight at a moment's notice.
I sighed and stood from my hammock while slowly before I jumped to the deck of the ship. While i did that, our ship was stopped before it collided with main ship,courtesy of Kenny who walked the deck not a second later, a serious expression adorning his face as he said,
" Well captain, you were looking for [Jaegren Of The Night], it seems you found him. What are you gonna do now?''. At his question, a battle hungry adorned my face. Before i could respond, i heard the bear mink, now Jaegren, in a cold tone, his tone cold enough to deter weaker men,
" So you're the new rookie who's been causing a riot in these parts of the seas. Impressive, I would even go as far as to say , your bounty severely undermines your true strength. But then again,it's common knowledge among the strong that strength is not the main factor when assigning bounties, wouldn't you agree ["Red-haired'' Shanks].''
The grin on my face only grew to wider proportions as i
" Dahahahahaha, you're certainly right about that, [Jaegren Of The Night]'', responded with a laugh of pure excitement. The next second, I let my battle intent free and the minks beside him were quick to respond as their swords were in their hands the next instant, imbued with basic armament.
