Chapter 2: Coastella Town

Coastella Town is the 2nd Chapter of the South Blue Adventures of Obiwa and Vlad. They make plenty interesting encounters over there.

### Plot

#### Arrival at the coast

After 2 days of Navigation, the party washes ashore and notices that the island they landed on is the base hideout of The Fireflies and they also encounter Portgas D. Jeanne who watches them drop anchor. On the coast Jobry 1148 and Brianna 1148 are unconscious and Obiwa heals them while Jeanne invites them in to give them food and shelter.

Currently, Coastella Town is being oppressed by a group of thugs called The Fireflies. Their Leader, Keikoku, managed to strike a deal with the mayor and obtained the right to collect taxes from the townfolk to fund his underground dealings. A FireFly comes up to Jeanne's door to collect the security money. She needs to muster 25K bellies before dawn tomorrow. Obiwa and Vlad decide to help her out by trying to make money for her and themselves as they need a boat as well.

#### Money Gathering

Vlad and Obiwa meet this trio of old ladies who need help slaying beasts in the forest as they need their skins to sell but their mercenary is currently injured. They bring Brianna with them and the three managed to slay some beast and collect **35K Bellies** that they will give to Jeanne. On their way back to Jeanne's house they see it burned down and the villaged is enraged and decides to raid the FireFly hideout as they know Keikoku is away. The Party decides to join the raid but leave Geariosa and Jobry on Jeanne Guarding duty.

#### **Hideout raid**

They arrives at the hideout and is greeted with a bunch of traps that they narrowly manage to avoid. Afterwards they arrive in a room and notice a map with a bunch of annotations on it. The hideout then opens up into a big chamber with two paths. The party takes the one on the left leading to a room where some FireFly Rookies and a FireFly are playing cards. After a brief battle, the party obtain a bunch of FrostBite Daggers and exits the room. Afterwards, Obiwa cleverly avoids a fight with two Giant Mantises by feeding them Pet Food. our players arrive to a prison cell and they meet up with Klicker and Kuromi who reveal they have a bone to pick with Keikoku as well and they were captured because they washed ashore near here. The party frees those two before facing off with the remainder of the Fireflies that were left in the hideout. The party is rewarded with **10,000 Bellies** and gets a hold of **Shigure** along with a bunch of healing kits**.**

The map details the plan of the Fireflies to expand their territory and become an underground crime syndicate. They notice how Keikoku is currently away traveling from island to island to gain power and challenge The Five Families in terms of recognition and power.
