(The next day. The boat steadily moves on the waves. Tenda is the 1st to wake up. He looks around and starts to write his journal.)
TENDA
My name is Tenda. And I used to work as a chore in Rita's ship. That was until I met Ryujin. He says that he came from another world which I find it hard to believe. But anyways, he was the one that opened my eyes and made to me to chase after my dream in becoming a marine admiral. Right now, if we're setting sail to a marine base so that I can be recruited as a marine. Ryujin's dream is to become the god of pirates. And in order to do that he has to conquer the Blue line. I wonder if he's even capable of achieving his dream. But the way he displayed his strength, I'm sure he's capable of becoming a god of pirates. After we left the island that Rita had dwelled in with her crew, I noticed a few things about Ryujin: One that he's a naïve person. Two he has a huge appetite. He ate most of our food supplies and now we have no food left. And three he's a heavily sleeper. It makes me wonder if he'll be able to conquer the Blue line…
(Ryujin wakes up.)
RYUJIN
Tenda. What's for breakfast?
TENDA
There's no breakfast because you ate all of our supplies!
RYUJIN
What?! We're going to die out of hunger!
TENDA
At this rate… I'll never be able to become a marine admiral soon.
RYUJIN
(Slaps him.)
Now's too soon for you to give up…
TENDA
But we're really going to die out of hunger…
RYUJIN
Yeah. that's true. But it's too early for us to die. Now let's start looking for an island or something.
(Tenda takes out his telescope and sees an island.)
TENDA
There. I see and island.
RYUJIN
Okay. Let's go!
(They row to an island by the name of Blue Jay Island. The island has a town and there's a marine base. Ryujin and Tenda are looking at some bounty posters that are pinned on the wall.)
RYUJIN
So that ugly old hag had a bounty of 5 million.
TENDA
Yeah. I overheard her saying something about a map to the Blue Line.
RYUJIN
Really? And where's this map located?
TENDA
It's in a marine base.
RYUJIN
Now that gives me an idea to infiltrate the marine base and steal that map.
TENDA
Are you crazy?! There's no way you'll do something like that!
RYUJIN
I told you, I'm a pirate. And you don't expect pirates to do good deeds…
TENDA
I guess you're right.
RYUJIN
But first. I need to have something to eat.
(They're at a restaurant having bacon and scrambled eggs as their breakfast.)
RYUJIN
Oh boy, this food is delicious.
TENDA
I totally agree with you.
RYUJIN
(To a woman that's serving some customers.)
Hey Miss, can I have some more?
WOMAN
Okay.
(She serves him another plate.)
RYUJIN
Thanks for the meal.
(He starts to eat. Suddenly, some marine officers enter the restaurant. They're being led by some blonde guy called Johnnie.)
JOHNNIE
You're late in paying your taxes, Olivia.
OLIVIA
I'm sorry. I'll give you right away.
(She gives him some money.)
JOHNNIE
Do you think that I'm a dog?
(He drops the money to the floor.)
OLIVIA
I'm sorry but this is all I got.
JOHNNIE
Do you know who I am. I'm Johnnie the Son of the great Marine commander Henry Morgens. Don't forget that name you got it. I'll have your restaurant demolished right away.
OLIVIA
Please don't do that! This restaurant was built by my late husband it was his treasure.
JOHNNIE
Treasure? This shabby place is what you call treasure. Treasure is all about gold, silver and lots of money. That's what defines treasure.
(A young girl bumps into him staining his pants with chocolate.)
JOHNNIE
You?! How dare you stain my pants? Are you looking down on me, huh?
(The girl backs away in fear.)
OLIVIA
Please forgive her! She's just a child.
JOHNNIE
She must be taught a lesson.
(He takes out his sword to slash them both. Ryujin steps in and blocks the attack.)
TENDA
Ryujin.
JOHNNIE
Who are you?
RYUJIN
I'm Ryujin Nemesis. I'm a pirate. And since you're a marine, you shouldn't be picking on the citizens.
JOHNNIE
I don't need a lowlife pirate like you to lecture me. Since, you're a pirate… I'll slash you.
TENDA
Come this way.
(Tenda drags the girl and the mother away from the Ryujin and Johnnie.)
JOHNNIE
Eat this!
(He tries to slash Ryujin down but Ryujin dodges his attacks.)
JOHNNIE
Why are my attacks not hitting you?
RYUJIN
Maybe because you're weak.
JOHNNIE
I'm not weak. I'm a master swordsman.
(He tries to slash down Ryujin but Ryujin leaps in the air and lands a kick at Johnnie making him to crash to a nearby table.)
