## Their Story

### **Sunken Ship:**

The brothers first self imposed quest before they even had their jolly roger or a named crew, was investigating a sunken ship a few miles off the shore of their home island, within Combo held his breath long enough that he was able to loot the entire ship, gaining a few bullets of unknown use and a fruit he would soon learn when he then later ate it, as the Tate Tate No Mi

### **Inderpol Ruins**

The brothers, one now very jealous of the other head to an island called Inderpol, a desert island only a couple hundred miles from their home, on the approach they notice the one small village that was built near an oasis was destroyed, the only structure still standing is a pyramid on the other abandoned side of the island, upon approaching the door they were met by a puzzle, which they quickly failed, falling through the trap door and into the pyramids crypt. Within the brothers found another puzzle, one based on three of the Yonko of a time long past. after passing the puzzle, they entered a completely dark room, except for one corner, which contained a pair of glowing eyes, this creature has the attitude of a mummy, the brothers defeated it before fleeing the pyramid entirely and heading to an island far in the distance

### Mercuus (The First Time)

The brothers arrived to Mercuus an island within the Sol-Ar Archipelago where almost everything is green. Upon arriving on the island the duo meet a little girl who pesters the pair to join their crew, by lying to the girl she agrees to take them to her good friend Jacob Larenth, her guardian, to get permission to join them. As they later find out that Jacob is the Duke of Mercuus and one of the 6 members of the Federation of Sol-Ar. Jacob expresses his want for the girl to not go with the two and thus they don't take her, but they do go to the local bar to see if they can get any work from the work board. On the board combo claims 2 quests immediately, one for fixing a few things around the bar for a reward, and saving a cat from a tree. The final post angers Combo, it's for a bounty hunter requesting help for a capture. The capture of Dagger Maru specifically. Combo fueled by his hatred of bounty hunters confronts her under the guise of him wanting to join her. Upon meeting her however her long legs interest him to ask her, her last name, which reveals she is his cousin on his mother's side. She then agrees to join Combo, heading back to the bar to retract the request they meet another woman, Yumiko of the Kuja tribe. She agrees to join the crew after a short conversation and she eats a fruit from her bag on the dock as combo is fusing his smaller ship with his cousins ship as an upgrade, forming it into the Capo Lungo Largo. The fruit Yumiko ate turned her into a Pheonix Human, granting her the powers of a Phoenix

### Runnystone

The brothers and their newly expanded crew head to another island at random, this one being an island of numerous stone spikes rising from the earth that people have turned into homes. It is here the crew set themselves in stone as having rivals. When they arrive at the docks they end up right next to a smaller sized Marine battleship, right from the deck saw an old acquaintance he saw a few times at home. A child by the name of Alfred Hanz standing and arguing with a marine on the shore. Combo confused went to go see Alfred, and met his rival. Wren Eikatree, turns out Wren had adopted a bunch of homeless kids from Combos home island, but the conversation goes sideways between Alfred and Wren and the young boy turns into a falcon and flies away, Chased by Yumiko they have a talk about not being lonely before Combo comes around and since he knows Alfred is able to hit a few more points close to home. About what happened to him and his friends back on Kanakanak. Turns out some Lion mink killed a few of them and Alfred was having trouble dealing with the emotions he was feeling, Combo tells him his story. And Alfred feels fear. Terror for what he might become on either path he walks. So he jumps. He throws himself off the spire they were talking on top of, Combo using his quick thinking and his devil fruit catch the boy as he breaks down in tears in the long limbs arms, the boy and the crew then go eat lunch together.

At lunch Wren meets Asariel and falls in love and they plan a date, fast forwarding a bit combo sees Asariel in the street backhand Wren, which causes Combo to attack Wren. Combo easily defeated Wren, and then the crew turned to leave the island. The only obstacle left was Alfred, the man he just trusted to give him life advice attacking the person he was warming up to liking, anger, wrath. Alfred charges attacking Combo driving him and his crew off the Island

### **Shuto Island**

The group make their way to another island, trying to force the scene of Alfred falling out of their minds. They come across an island in ruins, except for 2 and a half buildings, a bar atop a hill, a house at the bottom of that hill, and a half destroyed city hall type building. Combo and the crew adventured forward onto the island. Finding numerous corpses in various forms of agony frozen on their faces. the crew eventually moved their way towards the completely untouched house, they go through it finding a large guard robot standing in the middle of a destroyed room, with pieces of corpses strung about the place. The new crewmate Mako then snipes the bot down in one go. They venture further in to where they find a basement and a high tech lightning gate they couldn't see the way to turn it off, however they can see some of its wiring running into a concrete wall.

The crew investigate it to no benefit before they all decide to break open the wall. Combo summoned a site and a massive sledge hammer to break it, Yumiko slashes with a flaming claw and the final thing that breaks it apart… Is Mako, a small shark Fishman who only speaks in the third person who joined the crew just moments prior. His teeth turn black as he dive tackles the wall biting through it causing it to collapse. After Combo carefully turns off the gate they go through, finding a remarkable piece of technology, a robotic arm.

Further investigation on the arm tells them nothing, but Combo and Ruben are interested in it and the weird robot they found and take it back to the ship, along with the taken down robot, to investigate the parts

Meanwhile Mako and Yumiko are investigating the island, looking for any survivors. The only person they find. is a one armed man pinned under a fallen building by his one remaining arm. Mako using his super fishman strength easily throws the chunk of rock aside and rescues the man. Mako learns his name is Arbor Wood, a gunslinger who easily kicks his gun off the ground and it holsters. Mako taking his new friend to the Pheonix doctor in hopes she can heal his arm. But alas his arm is super fucked up, I mean, Like necrosis galore. Yumiko then amputated his arm to keep it from spreading, the gunslinger had so little feeling In the arm he didn't even notice she did it.

The duo bringing the new found friend to the ship to see if Combo will help him in his time of need. Combo being a kind soul thinks on this event, by making him a house out of pieces if rubble then closing the door behind him. The following morning Combo had made the decision to give this arm to Arbor. After a few hours of Combo and Ruben doing all the doctor things they can imagine attach the arm to Arbors body, it perfectly binding to him as a real arm would

As Arbor gets used to his new arm’s lightning based abilities, Combo takes up the initiative to train with his devil fruit ability by repairing the whole town. This project took Combo nearly 14 hours and almost killed him from exaustion, but he came through, fixing the entire town to it's ideal state... At least in his own mind.

After that event as Combos exaustion was being cured by Yumiko's Pheonix regenerative abilities Arbor suggests going to check out and loot the bar of the Kei family on that hill. The rest of the crew agrees, and thus they make their way up towards it

### **Gearspin Tavern**

Entering the tavern they first choose to sit down at the bar to make their plans. to the crews suprise the bar transformed itself into a big clockwork robot with one fist that sparked with electricity, while the other glowed hot with fire. Combo and his brother spend a moment investigating the robot before discovering it's operator, Maestro Kei, already knows they are there. So they spring into action attacking the pair of robots with all their might. Defeating them both with the only heavy damage happening to Combo who was left fairly heavily injured before they chose to investigate the rest of the house, first they head upstairs to what seems to be their home and where they have all their bedrooms.

The only things of note they found up their was a fairly depressing note from a child about his dad coming back to life like Jesus did, some old garbage blueprints in Maestros room and a room coated almost entirely with ethanol. Which Yumiko accidentally nearly used to kill the entire crew.

After the near death experience the crew head down to the back room of the bar, in which they find an elevator, which they accidentally take down to the basement of the bar. Which as they soon find out is riddled full of traps and puzzles to keep something safe.

They explore, getting through a few puzzles before Combo attempts to investigate a weird star pressure plate in a room, which as he tries to, something trips in his mind which causes him to lose all sanity for a minute or so, which in that mayhem caused an argument between Yumiko and Arbor, which resulted in violence between the two, nothing was made of that environment however the tension between the two was now very thick. Slowly moving through the dungeon the group discovers a few different types of traps, a fire spewing trap, falling spikes from the cieling, shocking door handles and razor tripwires. After sweeping through the dungeon and triggering all of the star shaped pressure plates the entire dungeon rumbled changing something in the massive robot in the final room...

Investigation teaches them that the massive robot about 3 times the size of the ones in the bar that they noticed from down a hallway is now moving more sluggish and it's lightning gauntlet is sparking less often. The crew enter through the door into the final room of the dungeon, a strange fruit sitting on a pedestal at the far end of the room, the crew slink around the room, but sadly make alot of noise causing the robot to notice them, sending it into protection mode making it strive to protect the room.

The loud noise is noticed by a man with a long neck, and conveniently he had a fresh guy who just lost to him in cards, who he throws through the door to a backroom and waltz's out while with each step he sounds like SpongeBob. Seeing the robot being violent he decides to help the group, using his powers of being an annoying piece of shit to assist the group.

The fight goes fairly well for the crew, the end of the fight caused alot of problems however, when they struck down the robot it exploded in a cloud of oil which immediately lit on fire and caused a small explosion. Which ultimately changed nothing. However in the corner of the room is a very peeved mistress of the house.

entering through a secret back door in the room enters Maestro Kei. And she is very unhappy at what is happening. She proposes the the crew two options. They return everything they took, including Arbors arm. Or they fix everything they broke and then can leave. They chose the latter, the exaustion of fruit over use nearly killing Combo in the process but he survived, Passing out amongst his friends satisfied at a job well done.

the following morning the entire crew awoke to Ruben screaming in fear as he melted into a flock of crows. He ate the devil fruit which they learned after he ate it was the Satsu Satsu No Mi, a devil fruit that lets you turn your body into a flock of crows at will. After this scare the crew quickly make their way to the ship to leave.

Running to the ship combo finds the newspaper, inside it notably is his bounty poster, and a letter from Sol-Ar about him being a candidate in the election their. Which they then scramble to get their on time.

### **Mercuus (The Second Time)**

The crew in a mad dash towards Sol for the election, they decide it is a good idea to go to Mercuus, try and call Jacob to delay the election. They do this, going to Jacobs palace, getting a guard to call the duke, informing Jacob of their predicament. Jacob told them he couldn't delay it the almost half a dozen hours they would need to make it from Mercuus to Sol. Combo's compromise is building a catapult to send the crew over. Jacob will delay the debates start by 2 hours and Combo will build a catapult to launch himself to Sol faster than his ship can move. However the plan went awry, Yumiko, shifting into Phoenix form to get a better look at the catapult, she shifted into the wrong subform, her burning form, igniting the dry grass around the catapult destroying Combo's hour of work. Combo's mood pulls a complete 180 turn from excited for the election to full on anger and rage at his crew. Using their will to survive, near all of them fled the scene, Ruben flew to a small fishing boat sailing towards the island, meeting a Hippopotamus mink named **Richard O. Potimus**. Richard was being a good soul, taking a break from his fishing trip in which he was looking for the *Sol Sun Fish* to assist those on the land with putting out the flames that are engulfing the forest. Arbor and Mako vanished into the darkness, fleeing to the ship. Yumiko flew away as Combo was distracted by yelling at Tixes and helping Asariel up from a stumble.

Richard reaches the island in record time, making a brief introduction to the people on the shore before asking if they wanted any snacks. Combo, ignoring the Hippo, calls his crew to the deck of the ship to lecture them, and although they did so reluctantly they eventually showed up, receiving a stern talking to and Tixes received a slap. As the event closes, a wave of immense pressure washes off of Combo, known not by the crew of what it was, but to the audience is known as ***Conquerors Haki***
