Welcome to Gaia! ::

The day was silent, except the seagulls that had fluttered over head of a building. It was not an odd sight to see over a dozen of the feathered beings gathered atop a lone building within the port of the South Blue. But was odd was to see a tanned skin man, that was lounging about atop the building, the seagulls seemingly drawn to him. His hands where cupped behind his head, his slightly tinted goggles were drawn over his eyes as his legs were crossed.

His right foot, which was crossed over his left knee bobbed up and down in a constant beat as the man seemed to find himself mumbling a small tone, a lullaby it seemed like. "Moon shine tonight come mek we dance and sing, moon shine tonight come mek we dance and sing. Mi deh rock so, You deh rock so, Under banyan tree, Mi deh rock so, You deh rock so, Under banyan tree..." The words repeated again...and then again as the young man hummed the lullaby. It was hard to miss him, with so many feathered creatures gather about him. And if the design upon his trousers did not give it away, nothing else about him would have. This young man was a pirate. or, to be more persist, a loner. He acted like a pirate, but would work for which ever side paid more.

It was not until a small robin landed upon of the man's head, before he looked up, and noticed that he had gathered an audience. Pushing up his goggles slightly, the man smile at the bird. "Hey there, mates! I didn't expect ya' to stay for this long." He cooed to the birds, who looked at him with cool eyes, and the young man sat up and smiled at the birds once again. "Ya' ya, I'm the same Dodger as yesterday. I ain't got no ship, ya' see. So you guys might be seein' me for a while." He teased the birds, before he poked one, and it fluttered. "Hmm? Me, look for One Piece?" And with that, Dodger laughed, falling back once again as he stopped laughing, and stared into the pure blue sky. His smile widened on his face, before he sat up.

"Nah', I ain't gonna look for One Piece." Dodger said, before he stood up, patting himself off before he placed his hands on the edge of the building, and he held himself up by his hand, his feet extend in the air as the shackle on his boots rattled, and his belt tapped against his upper vestments. His brown vest folding and adjusting itself as Dodger held the hand stand, prompting himself forward as he walked along the length of the building, using only his hand. "Hmm?" He grumbled as he stared as the same small robin that had brought his attention back to reality. "...steal a ship? Hmm...that might be the way to go." Dodger said with a wide grin. "I am the son of the Great Dragon Fingers, stealin' should be easy. But first...I'm hungry." And with that, Dodger rolled down the side of the building, and landed on the ground before he looked around, and silently strolled to the logical inn, pushing open the door.

While it seemed that Dodger would tell what the animals were thinking, it was far from the truth. The truth was, one; They wanted the bread crumbs he had forgotten in his pocket. And two; Dodger was different, the wind around him is lighter. And the birds seemed drawn to that.

Ben looked over to Jesbero and heard his little statement about promicing him that if they ran into that guy again he would leave it to him. Ben gave him a thumbs up and smiled slightly. "I swear no such thing. It's my task to protect my nakama and my honor." He then looked over to his new nakama Rake and saw him talking with Kale and moved over to him and slapped the back of his head. "Stop flirting with the cheff perv." He said in a slightly annoyed but comical fasion. "But if your looking for your room, we havent assigned them so take whatever one you want."

Jebsero frowned, and said," That's so kind, but fine we will both kick his a**. Though fire man should really be there or else I'll become a Popsicle." Jesbero then said," Hold up we have rooms on this ship that's amazing." Jesbero ran down into the cabins and he then saw a single room that wasn't to big but medium size, and he threw his bag in the cabin, and then said," This is my new resting place." Jesbero then walked back onto the deck of the ship, and he then said," So I'm wondering when will are trip to the land in the sky start? Though I just hope I'm not looking down." Jesbero laughed as he was extremely afraid of heights.

Ben walked back to the ship and walked on-board looking at each of the crew and smiling at each one of them while he made his way to the helm of the ship. "Alright crew! Time to head to teh Skypiea!!" He yelled out raising his fist to the sky and pulling the ship out of port and down to teh area where the knock-up stream was best known to shoot up.

Noah headed towards Carmine Town a popular place for pirates.

Ben then left the south blue to leave for the west.

After doing some helpful training and hunting, Gina hopped on her boat singing a happy song to herself and sailed off to the West Blue.
