Plans for the future! [Open to Vae And Fro]

As Mishi clutched the wheel to the sloop, Takao awoke once more. He yawned and stretched. Suddenly, a white bird flew above the bird dropping a newspaper onto Takao's head.

"Gah! I have bird crap on my head! My beautiful hair is rui- Oh."

Takao picked up the paper, feeling pretty embarrassed at his overreaction. He had totally forgot about them pesky News Coos. He opened up the newspaper. Interesting. If only he could read it properly, his eyes were still a but blurry. He rubbed them once more before taking another glance at the paper. The front page read:

"Revolutionary Execution: JEAN VON STROMBERG"

Looks like some guy was getting executed, there wasn't much information about the execution yet so there wasn't much to read. Takao then flipped to the next few spaces and was surprised to see his face on it. He smiled. He was famous! Finally, people realized his musica- oh wait. He was a famous criminal. Not musician, he stared at his bounty poser.

Takao's poster:

9,000 bounty, huh? Not bad. Not bad at all. Although this was meant to be a bad thing, Takao didn't really care much, if his name was out there and seen by all, he's happy. He then looked over to the next page, Mishi Hasimoh. Oh daaaaamn. Her bounty was nothing like his.

"Oi, Mishi. Check this out, we're famous!" He said, giving Mishi papers.

"Heheh! This is so cool!~"

Takao said with a big smile on his face. Unlike the others, Takao was full of energy, he was famous! He got onto his feet and stretched his arms out wide. Mishi was right, Billy was the only one who could supply them with food, if they went inside a store, they'd probably get recognized. Takao rubbed his hands together in excitement and before he knew it, he began to jump up and down in excitement. This caused the boat to rock from side to side, Billy fell halfway into the water, this caused him to wake up quite angrily.

"What the hell is this moron doing!?" Billy yelled in anger as lifted his head from the ocean.

Takao chuckled as he looked at Billy. A fish seemed to have mistaken Billy's ear for bait. Billy realized this and tugged at it, causing it to fall back into the ocean.

"Idiot! This is all your fau-"
"Hey, check this out!" Takao interrupted as he gave Billy the newspaper.

Billy was surprised to see both Mishi and Takao's face on the wanted list. He sighed. Wanted, they were now wanted. While Billy read through the papers, Takao spotted an island on the horizon.

"Oooooi, Mishi, Billy! Land!"

"Land? Oh I se-"

Billy was interrupted by a fist slamming against his forehead causing him to fall onto his back, rocking the sloop slightly. Takao giggled, Billy was getting hurt a lot lately. Billy sat up, rubbing his forehead with a not so pleased look on his face as he done so. He sifted his gaze towards a tired Mishi.

"What the hell was that for?! I thought we agreed I'd pay you back 200 beli for that 100 I stole!" Billy said, still rubbing his red forehead.

Takao began to laugh, rolling on his back and tears filled his eyes. Billy had a red fist mark on his forehead, he looked like some sort of hooligan ! Takao rubbed the tears from his eyes and looked back at the island. It would probably take an hour for the sloop to reach at this speed so Takao decided to take this time to plan. Yes, plan. Takao wasn't that much of an idiot, he knew that they needed a plan now that they were criminals and all.

"Ok guys, since we're all up and awake. How bouts we take this time to plan? After all, we are criminals now." Takao said as he sat with his legs crossed and his hands clutching them.

"I say we get a map. After all, we can't sail around the sea blindly and hope to get somewhere."

After sating that, Takao reached for the bag of food which Mishi purchased during their stay at Baterilla. Opening it, he licked his lips. There was bread, cold meat which was still edible and three cartons of milk. Taking out three loafs, Takao threw two to Billy and Mishi. He then shoved his one into his mouth, whole. Ok, maybe he was a total idiot after all.

Takao chuckled as Mishi went back to her usual position, hugging the mast as if she was a koala. Oh Mishi. It seemed she want land, and she wanted land quickly. Takao couldn't do anything bout that, the ship was around an hour away from it's destination. He looked over at the island with eager eyes, what would this island hold for the group?

"Say, what do you think the next island's gonna be like?"
"Don't know, don't care. We just need to get a map, right?"

Takao nodded. It was the first time Billy and Takao actually completed a conversation without a fig- oh wait. Takao leaped over to Billy, snatching the bread from his hand.

"That was my bread!"
"WAH!? You ate yours!"
"NO!"
"YES!"
"NO!"
"YES!"

The two continued this pointless argument over bread until finally a bird came and snatched the bread from Takao's hands. Takao looked blankly at his hand.

"Oh.... THAT DAMN BIRD!"

Takao stood up and began to shake his fist towards the sky, expressing his anger though in reality fist-shaking wasn't gonna get the bread back. He sighed and sat once more.

"Looks like Billy's bread is gone.."
"What!? Now you admit it's mine!?"


Billy sighed angrily and lied on his back on the sloop.

"Hm... don't you think we need a new boat?"
"Yeah, this one is getting pretty smal- OH CRAP, MISHI, YOUR BELI!"

A large bird had suddenly swopped down, it's talons sinking into Mishi's bag of beli. Both Takao and Billy leaped for the bag, Billy reached it first. The bird took off, with the bag and Billy however Takao gripped Billy's legs, preventing the bird from flying further into the air.

"WHY ARE WE HAVING SO MUCH BIRD PROBLEMS!?"

Mishi's wild attempt to capture the bird had proves successful, Billy and Takao fell onto the sloop as Mishi and the bird fell into the ocean. They hit the water causing some of the water to splash onto Takao. Billy giggled. Takao shook his head left and right to dry his hair and went over to Mishi to help her up. He extended his arm arm towards her, hoping she'd reach it. If she had grabbed the hand, then he'd pull her back into the ship.

"Gimme your hand!"

Meanwhile, in a unknown island...

"Boss, they've been spotted in the South Blue ocean! They're in a sloop and two of them match the picture on two of today's wanted posters!" a young man yelled as he rushed into a room, he quickly placed two pieces of paper onto a desk.

The man sitting behind the desk picked up the papers, smirking slightly. So these were the idiots who interrupted his drug scheme? He scrunched up the papers and chucked them into the nearest bin before sitting back on his chair and resting his feet on the desk.

"Good work. However not good enough. Give me the name of the island they are closest to. Then report back as soon as you get it."

The man nodded and exited the room straight away.
