000 "A sailer whent to sea sea sea to see what she could see see see!" "Alright let's see what we got here..."
Yumi wondered the streets of loguetown, one of the few, ironically, safe places for her in the entirety of the east blue. Loguetown had been taken a long time ago by the Yonkou Hakkyou, a rather fearsome pirate of the seas who could probably take down any marines who sailed an inch too close to this place in the blink of an eye. For a pirate like Yumi however, it was a minor safe haven from the marines, so long as she made sure she didn't pose any threat to the pirate running the show here, and as far as she knew, she didn't pose any threat whatsoever. With her crew nearly prepared fro what may be the journey of a lifetime, the trip down the grand line, she decide to stop by here, taking her time to buy what she needed for her crew, her loyal swordsman Bunji forever by her side as they wandered the streets, black flags hanging from every building, though Yumi's eyes remained on the list in her hands.
"Shura needs some more barrels of...well, booze, what else? We need that new compass for Sela, Violet needs more wood so she can finish patching the ship back up. Rose needs cannonballs if she's gonna be manning the cannons, Felicia needs some medical supplies..." She flipped the list over, looking along the rest. "food is a must....Oh, and we'll be needing a den den mushi. Don't wan't to be stuck with the old marine one!~"  CODED BY SYLVIE |

I will hunt you down... The crowd here was less dense, there was no need to push or shove your way through the crowd the two could walk side by side without much worry. This area had become a place where pirates could freely walk around, freely brandish their weapons, and allegiance to their crew; why? Because recently some high powered Pirate had taken this town for their own, making it a red zone for marines. The man would walk quietly alongside the girl keeping his composure as he listened to her speak, she was listing off the things they needed to obtain, he would nod quietly looking over at her. "Sounds like a hefty list" he said to the girl with a chuckle as he kept walking alongside her making his way down the path that was leading them through town, "I think we get the smallest objects first, then we work our way to get the biggest things so we can manage the load better" he commented as he looked around noticing the black flags atop the buildings.
Walking along the male pirate would lower his red eyes that had famed him in his days as Captain as demon eyes, he was working to leave that part of him behind just how he had abandoned the pistols for the swords he now used. Looking over at the girl he would find himself admiring her honey eyes as he always did when she seemed too distracted to notice him gawking, "Heh" smirking he turned away from her focusing his eyes on the path ahead once more. "So does your Tasukai sense of adventure find itself satisfied yet?" he asked her suddenly his tone of voice breaking the silence with a smooth, and deep cord to it. "...I remember when we met, you told me of your parents, the great stories you heard of their adventures. Are you ready to carve your own path to your legacy?" he asked wording his question better as he moved alongside her.

297 "A sailer whent to sea sea sea to see what she could see see see!" "Yeah, if we move the lighter stuff back first then we can take our time carrying the heavier stuff so we don't hurt ourselves." She smiled, turning to Bun beside her and and barely missing the gawking she was getting, pocketing the list once she had memorized it. "Thanks for coming with me by the way. I know you come on a lot of my supply runs, and I would have asked Shura but...you know what she gets like if she dosn't visit the local bar huh?" She let out a quiet chuckle, turning back the the bustling streets as she kept a keen eye out for the store they needed. If they were going smallest first, a den den mushi or the first aid supplies were at the tops of their lists.
Just as she spotted a store that may have what they needed, an odd question came from Bun, though by now she was partially just expecting the questions and random colorful speeches that he gave out. In some ways they were amusing, and it passed the time just to have a conversation with him. "Pfft, please, i got twenty odd years of being stuck on the same old island...albeit a very pretty island, but no, my lust for adventure is far from satisfied!~"
She reached the store that she believed may have a den den mush, holding it open for her partner and letting him be the first to walk into the store, following quickly behind. "As far as a legacy goes? I dunno about that. I just wanna live life and have fun doing it, I hardly think that's a legacy." CODED BY SYLVIE |

I will hunt you down... He only listened his expression remained neutral, he was not smiling nor was he showing any expression really he simply walked along until they reached the store, he had to admit he did agree with her comments on Shura hat woman was a giant, and she could drink more then her weight in alcohol. An addiction is what she had, listening to Yumi's words regarding his question however he found himself quietly finding it amusing a soft smile forming on his face as he nodded at her; the woman was always so carefree. She seemed nothing like the pirates he had met before, or even the pirate he was; she was more open to the world ready to accept whatever came her way, a dangerous way to live. Bunji knew that Yumi meant well, and that she just wanted to live; but unfortunately for her the lifestyle she had chosen to 'live' was a dangerous one, as tame as the crew seemed despite their colorful personalities he knew deep down that at the very core everyone on the ship was a killer. Whether for survival, or for pleasure Bunji had stepped into both worlds when he killed before, and this is why he always stuck to Yumi like a loyal guard dog because he knew her bubbly personality was great, but also a weakness that was amplified by her curious to the wonders of the world.
Bunji would never voice these concerns however, always keeping them to himself choosing only to remain her silent guardian, however such a job was not just physical it was also spiritual if this girl ever lost her way he would be glad to give her sound advice to set her on her path again. Stepping into the store he would be welcomed by the smell of cinnamon incense, and the sight of clustered hallways, "Yumi" he would say suddenly as they walked down the many halls of the shop. "A legacy is not always carved with a known purpose, a legacy is sometimes forged with the efforts of the individual. You may not wish it, but your adventures will reach the ears of many, and those ears will whisper of your exploits...you are a pirate, and all pirates be they small or big have a legacy" he would stop when he spotted the shop keeper, a large heavy woman standing behind the counter. "....Some of us carry a legacy we choose never to remember, but cannot forget" he mentioned his tone becoming a bit grim as he stepped forward, leaving the topic at that.
"Excuse me miss" he said to get the shopkeepers attention, she seemed a bit annoyed with the presence of the two red heads "Yes?" an answer came with a heavy tone of great distaste. "We are looking for a...Uhm..." he paused a she turned to Yumi "What are they called again?" he asked blinking curiously.

000 "A sailer whent to sea sea sea to see what she could see see see!" "Heh, even with that, I doubt I'll leave anything behind Bun." She wandered in behind him, her eyes moving about and taking in the store. It didn't seem like it was well kept at all, swords lined one wall, while random goblets and other such trinkets lined another. It was a store for random nick nacks any ship may want, but few things they actually needed for their crew. "In case you haven't heard Bun, the golden age of pirates is still going on, thousands of pirates looking for once piece, only tens of which may actually have a chance of finding it. If I do have a legacy, it'll be as the red head that got killed for standing between the guy who found one piece and his drink." She let out a quiet chuckle, showing she clearly wasn't taking this seriously. She'd made peace with the fact she was nothing special a long time ago, and it hardly mattered to her. Who cared what other people thought of her life? It was hers, and she'd live it how she liked, no legacy required.
As they came to the shop clerk the rather beefy looking woman didn't seem to want to even give them the time of day, and seemed only more annoyed that her customer free store had been disturbed not only by customers, but ones who didn't even seem to know what it is they really wanted, at least until Yumi chimed in.
"We're looking for Den Den mushi, ya know, the talking snails?"
She seemed to eye them for a second. Pirates usually only needed den dens when they controlled a fleet or had an alliance, and while Bunji had the rough look of a captain, Yumi hardly even looked like much of a pirate if it wasn't for her pistols. Instantly the eyes of the shop clerk turned to Bunji as she continued to do business. "Ya know, it ain't a good sign when the captain don't even know what he needs for his ship." Yumi let out a quiet snicker at the realization that the woman thought Bunji was the captain, but as she had a glance shot her way she quickly shut up. "The Mushi's are in the crate in the corner."
With a quick nod and a smile Yumi thanked the store clerk, turning towards the crate they were pointed toward. "C'mon "captain".~" She giggled quietly as she reached the crate wiping a joyful tear from her eye and lifting the lid off the crate, looking down at the snails inside as they ate the lettuce they had been given for lunch, some having rather odd atatchments given to them. She presumed some were owned previously, and had been stolen or scavanged from the sea.
"So what's all this hullabaloo about my legacy anyway?" She leaned into the crate, looking some of the mushi over. "I mean, no offence, but you talk about stuff like this a lot, and at the same time you don't seem the kind to care what people think so....I dunno." She lifted her head out, a red snail with a purple shell in hand. "Strikes me as sorta odd." CODED BY SYLVIE |

I will hunt you down... He had to admit he would not be able to agree with what she just said, did she really believe herself to be so little? He was not thinking she needed to be arrogant, or blinded by an inflated ego but she had to have more self worth, such an easy going personality was a good thing but he was now starting to see that the girl was bit of an extreme in that sense. She was leaning far too much to one side of the hill, without trying to search for a balance at least this is what he took from her words. After the small interaction with the shop keeper, the swordsman only chuckled nervously he had to admit he felt a bit flattered but also embarrassed at the comment, and Yumi playing along did not help, but at the same time it served for the ground work to push memories into his head. Hearing the way Yumi refer to him as Captain, would hit him with a scene he had not witnessed in a long time; that is what he saw in Yumi then? His eyes would widen with the realization as he remained standing still, the scene playing out in his head he was no longer in the shop he was on his ship, and it was not a red head walking away from him but a girl with long dark hair, and piercing dark eyes that was leading him to the navigation room. Bunji remained frozen, his memory so strong he could smell the ocean air, and he could feel the rocking of his ship..."Claudia" he whispered to himself, locked in his own self induced hypnosis.
"Hey! The Den Den Mushi are over there" the voice came in like a splash of water washing away the memory, Claudia faded from his view, and his ship was replaced by the insides of a poorly run shop, the smell of the sea whisked away by the strong scent of cinnamon. He sighed deeply, ignoring the woman behind the counter of all things, of all the reasons that he could have thought of; this was the one that explained it all. This was the reason why he had chosen to follow Yumi, with a quiet sigh he would walk towards the red head that was looking through the crates. When he approached he heard her mention his earlier words about her legacy, he would kneel down next to her looking into the box inspecting the many Den Den mushi. "My legacy has long since been washed away, there was a time in my life when I stood at the end of my...my former Captains ship, and dreamed of carving my own legacy. I aimed to carve said path with blood, and riches of unmeasurable caliber; well at the end of this tale you know how it ended" he commented referring to the bullet wounds littered across his torso. "...it is not about caring for what others think Yumi, it is a given that you will carve a path. I merely inquired to know if you were aiming for anything particular" he commented hoping his words could clear things up.
As the girl eyed the Den Den Mushi he reached in himself grabbing a small yellow one by the shell he eyed the small creature quietly looking it over, Bunji set it down only to pick up another this one was red the color always made him smile. Raising it up to Yumi he held it near her, "It matches our hair Captain" he commented with a soft chuckle choosing to make light of the situation he had been throwing some heavy topics at her as of late.

000 "A sailer whent to sea sea sea to see what she could see see see!" Yumi carefully placed down one of the Mushi's she had taken to inspect more closely, hanging over the edge of the crate and leaning on her arms, listening to what Bun said...she supposed he had a point. Perhaps she didn't want a legacy, but she had some things she may have wanted to do...she just didn't feel like she had the skill or even the power to pull it off. Afterall she was just a red head from the lighthouse island of east blue, why would anyone ever make way for her to carver her own path?
"I suppose...If I could do anything..." She turned, leaning back on the crate and looking up at the ceiling, wondering about her answer. "I'd wanna get rid of anyone who abused their power..whether they opposed me or not. Like this yonkou for instance. They burned down this whole town a while back as she claimed it without a care for who lived here..."
She took a quiet moment, considering her thoughts carefully. "One day, I wanna take Loguetown back.."
She rested there for a while, lost in her thoughts when Bun brought up the den den, chuckling quietly at his comment and reaching over to stroke the shell of the mushi, making sure to be careful with it. "Heh, he does don't he? Pretty cute little guy too...~" She cupped it in her hands, taking it from Bun and stroking it's shell, giving a quiet giggle. "Maybe we should call him Bunji jr!~" CODED BY SYLVIE |

I will hunt you down... He listened quietly as she mentioned her goal of wanting to eradicate the world of those who abused their power? Well then that put Bunji on her short list then, he wondered now if it was wise for him to even be a member of her crew; long ago he had been one of those pirates abusing his power doing everything he could, and stepping on anyone's head to get to where he wanted to get. The only reason Bunji never stepped too far into the abyss was because of Claudia, even so he would now make sure to watch his words, and take silent steps; keep the urges under control. The red haired man would respond to the girl with this, "A noble goal, very noble for a pirate. But then again no one said Pirates have to be rotten to the core" he said with a chuckle moving the topic along to the Mushi he was holding up to her face. When the girl mentioned about naming the small snail creature after him he only chuckled shaking his head, "I think it best we don't associate such a gentle creature with someone like me" he commented as he stood upward leaving the crate with the others his eyes examining the small mushi.
"Overall though, I do say this one should be the one we take. He seems to fit the theme. Maybe throw on a pair of red sunglasses, a red ponytail, and your skull pin on its shell. Well then I'd say you have quite a customized Mushi" he said holding up the little guy in his hand showing it off to get a better look at it. Looking down at Yumi he would lower his hand which held the snail, holding it close to her he gave her a nod of the head; "Here you go, if you want to take it then take it, if not we can look through the crate for another?" he questioned giving the girl a soft smile waiting for her to take the Mushi.
