## History

### Sol:

The crew before they were the crew met in a tavern, all complete strangers to one another but they made quick friends ad when speaking about making a crew together **Beck** required a bit more convincing from **Saber**, so the pair fought outside the bar to gauge each others strengths, the pair fought with their full power against one another but the fight was interrupted by **Salbo** who stopped the fight, this fight showed **Beck** that **Saber** had in him what he wanted from him and thus the crew was officially formed. They then went off to go buy a boat from a dealer near the docks. He makes them an offer, they can get this ship for **30 Million** Belli, or a very embarrassing secret from every member present. they took the former, speaking a secret to the man.

The Captain of the newly formed crew Saber knows he shouldn't set out to sea even if he is confident in the ship he shouldn't set sail without a shipwright, so off he went into town to go find one. Entering an inn most of the adventure worthy people seemed to have set themselves into groups by themselves. However a lone man sat at the bar, a singular 2×4 sitting next to him leaning on the bar. Saber approached the man and bought him a drink and as they chatted he not only learned that his name was Lukas Hynes but he agreed to join his crew as it's shipwright and meet him at the docks after he finished his drink. Saber before heading back to the docks decided to go to a general store. Specifically **Agatha's General Goods.** He enters and asks her what she has for sale. She explains her business practices. He then jokingly asks for a devil fruit that does general things, he buys it out of spite and not believing her, at the cost of 450,000 he obtained the **Lucid Lucid Fruit**. He panics realizing what he has done to himself and runs to tell his crew. When he arrives and is panicking Salbo smacks him to knock him out. When he awoke merely 2 minutes later out of his body sprouted a massive dragon that was friendly to him and his friends. He named it King Bob. The group then decide to go to an island name ***Outlig Island***, a small island off the coast of ***Satunus***. it was Beck's home before he was forced to abandon it because of the **Cliff Dog Pirates**, Beck and the crew's goal is to take it back.

### Outlig Island:

Arriving at Becks former home astonished him for he level of destruction caused by the pirates. most of the original buildings had been destroyed, the only original left standing was his father's dojo, the only alteration was a crater made in the roof made by the first cannon fired during the siege has not been repaired instead a statue of a metal wolf was placed within the hole, on said wolf as they sail up, pulled by King Bob Lukas notices a chihuahua sitting on the wolfs head, said chihuahua as Lukas describes him to the group turns into a wolf man and fires a rocket launcher at them, that mink's name is **Logan Sanchez**. The crew minus Noah and Lukas hop on King Bob and rush into a fight with the scientist, which rather quickly ended as when the crew approached him he gathered a small amount of information on their fighting styles before throwing a smoke bomb at his feet and vanishing from their sight

After the fighting ceased the crew looked down into the former training grounds, which has now been turned into a pool, the former female students of the fishman karate dojo now being used as maids and waitresses against their will, Seeing that heavily angered both Beck and Sablo who rushed into combat with the pirate deckhands swiftly dispatching of them before they entered the main dojo, greeted by a second platoon of 5 pirates Beck punched a man in the chest using his fishman karate techniques but the man survive the onslaught, allowing Sablo to grab him from behind and fly him through the lights plunging the entire room into darkness, however as Sablo picked up Beck, one of the grunts capitalized on the drop in his guard, plunging his saber into the fishmans side heavily wounding him.

The other group, consisting of Saber, Noah and Lukas approach the group of Cliff Dog Pirates, Noah ends that battle quickly by using his fathers *Paragon Style* to ignite the pirates by harnessing not only his training but his burning passion to succeed, said attack killed all but 2 of the grunts who were heavily wounded and let them through

The crew gather themselves at the entrance of the dojo preparing for a fight for their lives, and for the lives of those who came before them

The dojos overall appearance remains the same as when Beck was last here 7 years ago, the only alterations is the throne placed on the elevated level where Beck's father would display and teach the class and the depictions of the Cliff Dog jolly roger on every pillar in the room.

Howler, seated on his throne is listening to Logans explanation of those who have come to his island as the crew enters, locking eyes with the "Mad Dog" himself.

From the seat upon his throne he taunts Beck about his father's failed attempt at defeating him, flashing the cape he made from Becks fathers gi, his father's dried blood still upon it.

Seeing Howler and hearing his taunts enrages Beck, preparing to charge at the Mink, Noah in reaction to the impending fight uses his rallying presence on his fishman ally in hopes it will assist him in the upcoming fight. It soon will...

The room explodes into combat as Howler lands on the level alongside the crew, catching Becks fist with his paw, and having another one bunch him harmlessly in the chgest, roaring into his face Howler counters as his entire body sparks with lightning, overhead slamming Beck down onto his knees with a singular blow leaving the fishman battered and bruised.

The fight then splits into two mostly separate fights, Logan versus Lukas and Saber, Beck and Salbo versus Howler, and Noah acting as a bounce around healer.

The fight eventually after a long and hard combat and mild intervention by Noah's brother Liam as an assistant healer, Howler fell, struck down by Beck with a decapitation, fueled by the anger and power of his father, finally reclaiming his home.

After Howler was struck down, Logan as well as a lot of other members of the cliff dogs run for the hills as the alpha is taken down, to where they ran to is unknown however if they remain a threat is also unknown.

After the battle, each member of the crew in various states of pain leave back to the ship, Noah having a brief discussion with his brother before he departs again.

And Beck decides to plan a party to celebrate the victory...

###### Lukas:

He overall repeatedly slammed his 2×4 into Logan beating him up with his barbarian might, only faltering once when he was struck by a bolt of lightning and by dual slashes of electro coated claws.

during the fight he was a commander, he ordered around King Bob like nobodies business, ultimately leading to Howler being grappled by the dragon which was a massive assistance in taking down the Mink

###### Salbo:

throughout the fight he was a tank, although inaccurate although whenever he landed an attack it would shake Howler to the core as well as tanking some devastating attacks and shrugging them off like a simple mosquito bite

###### Beck:

He fought valiantly, ultimately being the one to slay Howler, although he was knocked unconscious a few times by the Minks onslaught of attacks he toughed it out fueled by the will to defend his home
