He smirked at the spectacle between the fishman and the other human beings. It seemed this Fishman hated humans a lot such a shame. Perhaps one day he could change his mind but for now he really was in somewhat of a hurry. He wanted to gather up a team for himself. He was tired of being alone on the seas and plus more numbers would equal more fun and he would be closer to making his dream assault upon mariejois. Oh how it would be splendid as he hung the severed head of the celestial dragons upon stakes as the castle burned. Although it would be properly looted first. He let out a small chuckle as he began to turn away and would head toward town. This area was boring no one was interacting with him and he wasn't going to waist any of his precious time on the docks. He took a few steps moving between the crowd and narrowed his eye brows as he saw another ship coming in. He gave a half smile as it came closer and closer into port. Clearly this was its destination Well this was getting a bit crowded. He watched from the crowd as a somewhat large group of men disembarked from the ship. he watched the men walk off and head into the town, He was unsure if they were bounty hunter or marines or pirates or they could be revolutionaries. he would need to make a mental note to keep an eye out from them while the festivities were going. He then hear the all to familiar sound of a of a musical instrument being plunked at its strings/ He narrowed his eyes as he saw a man wearing a black kitsune mask with a scarf over his head most unusual most unusual indeed. However he recognized the tune that was being played. He could never forget the song that was played at marines often sang it in his hometown in the taverns. It was a all to familiar tune and he began to hum to himself then he began to sing along to it reciting the lyrics out his voice in harmony with the masked figures playing. "The sea watches us quietly, guiding us through our death and our birth.
From humble hometown waters, to the waves at the end of the earth.
The sea carries us carefully, through the dark of night and light of day, to the world that's just and peaceful, so that we never lose our way.
All our pain and suffering, it swallows up in its warm embrace, so knowingly and gently, washes them all away.
The sea watches us quietly, guiding us through our death and our birth.
From humble hometown waters, to the waves at the end of the earth.
All our pain and suffering, it swallows up in its warm embrace, so knowingly and gently, washes them all away.
There will come a day, I'm sure, when I must heed its solemn call, and walk side by side with my old friends, resting in its foamy waters." He really couldn't help but sing along his voice growing steady and calm and full of serenity as he sang. If there was one weakness he had it was for music he smirked and blushed a little as he came back to his senses after the music stopped playing. He muttered an apology towards the masked musician and slowly began to back away heading back into the town. He did not wish to cramp the musicians style perhaps he was just a solo act or was just trying to earn some money. He slowly turned about his back facing the crowd as he would slowly walk towards the town his white coat flapping slightly from the movements. Zanji singing in this tone

He was glad to see that she did not look to pleased at first when male marine had invited himself to there get together. But then again it could also of been a expression reflecting on a memory he could not tell. He kept up his warm and gentle smile as he looked over at may as he heard the sound of a audible whirling noise coming from her. His eyes widened in shock as she revealed more of those little ports along her body and a blueish glow appeared around the holes. He kept on his smile though as suddenly the male marine figure came bustling in to try and save him from her attack. He didn't have much of a choice now He smirked as the man attempted to grab him by his neck well now was the time to reveal his powers it seemed. He stretched out his neck and moved it at a downwards angle avoiding the marines attempt to try and save him and quickly stretched out his arms ans legs and held onto the wall as he took in a great intake of air. His stomach expanded quickly and he soon became reminiscent of a balloon. He felt his body take in the attacks all at once.
He grunted as his body stretched backwards from the sheer force of the attack. His arms and legs stretching back as he held onto the wall for dear life. He Was not going to allow any of those attacks to escape him he was not going to allow any collateral damage. He smirked as he felt the last of the attacks dissipate as he reeled himself back in with his arms and legs. He would remain ballooned up as his body shook from the minor damage it had taken from all sixteen shots. He reached down quickly and grabbed his violin case and tilted his head downwards and gave a salute to the marine captain and let out all the air he had stored up in his body. He was lifted off the ground and sent into the air. He laughed happily at being in the air he felt somewhat like a balloon that had been sent into the sky. He had his violin and his precious tone dial. He cleared the buildings rooftops easily and continued to soar upwards. He then shouted at the marines. " Hey when officer gremlin wakes up tell her I'm sorry about having to cancel our date and I hope we meet again." He chuckled and stretched out his arms and grabbed onto a nearby by weather vane and began to run along the rooftops.

Zanji felt something tug on his shirt as he attempted to leave this dismal ally way. Did he get caught on a tail or something that would just make this day all the better ripping his shirt. He turned around and was shocked to see the girl was the culprit of what had grabbed his shirt. He was almost tempted to pull it free but when she smiled at him his heart beat a little faster. She then began to do some hand gestures which took him a few moments to understand. He was not at all use to communicating with a mute. He smiled gently back at her and was about to turn down her request when the male marine spoke up. It seems he too was somewhat irritated he could tell by his tone of voice when e spoke to him apologizing once again. He gently placed his hand upon the girls which held his sleeve and pulled his shirt free gently. He chuckled as the man spoke to him about how he took a punch from a cyborg and was just a humble traveling musician. This guy was perceptive and in a way he was most dangerous he would need to be on his guard.
He chuckled and spoke in a gentle manner but also in a somewhat jokingly coy manner "as I said before im just a humble musician but I'm no wimp you have to train your body hard if you wish to travel the seas after all there are dangerous folks out there." He smirked and straightened out his sleeve of his shirt and suddenly his stomach let out a audible growl. His cheeks went pink with embarrassment Rubbing the back of his head and chuckling "Well i suppose i could stick around for a quick bite to eat." He narrowed his eyes in a annoyed manner as the male marine had invited himself along to his and gremlins little date. "Well I suppose I can't say no since you put it that way however it is Officer gremlins decision if she wants you along on our little get together." He turned about and began walking down past the thief heading towards a nearby cafe when he stopped in his tracks in front of the thief. He felt pity for the thief and tossed down one of the thousand berri bills he had received from may bird and was going to continue on his way.
He barely put pressure on his first footstep when the male marine ordered her to kill the thief. "That's exceeding your authority as a marine and its not like he attempted to harm anyone sir so I suggest you belay that order." His Knuckles cracked as he stood before the thief shielding him. "That is excessive force and I would personally report your sorry butt to your superiors for you blatant abuse of power." Things were going so very well and now this shit had crept up on him. Damn his sense of morality and curse this marine for bringing it up. This man was a clear case of abuse of power that held within the marines. This was one of the reasons he despised the marines. Well more so the fact the marines didn't do anything either when his father was murdered before his very eyes.

Zanji Hummed to himself as he stood behind the helm of his ship. He was relatively excited for he had made it into the precarious grand line all by himself. He felt proud of himself yet there was a feeling of loneliness at this accomplishment. He wanted to get some crew mates as soon as possible it was rather lonely aboard this large ship. He reached into his coat pocket and pulled out a map and checked on the horizon. He wasn't a top notch navigator but thanks to his log pose he had a good idea of where he was headed. the closest island that he was going to visit and possibly resupply at was named Cactus island. A rather unusual name for a piece of land perhaps tit had a desert climate to it. He hoped it wasn't in this case he enjoyed the warmth of the sun but desert heat was something all together a different subject. He looked up towards the sky as he heard a all to familiar sound of a sea gull cawing most likely calling out to his little friends.
This brought a small smirk to his face as he drew closer and closer to the island. A particular song kept coming to mind as he hummed a few bars. It was a old pirating song but it was still a good one in his opinion. He slowly began to furl in the sails as a dock came into view. He would let the oceans current drag him into port. He tied off the sails and stretched out his arms and grabbed the railing on the stairs and pulled himself down from the mast and returned to the helm. If there was truly one thing about being a rubber man he enjoyed it was being able to get at things that were far away. He chuckled as he continued to hum along the tune of Bink's sake as he saw already quite a few ships into the dock it was going to be a bit of a challenge to find a free spot but he would manage somehow. His jolly roger in the crows nest of the first mast waved lazily in the air proudly displaying its insignia as he carefully maneuvered his large ship into a free area.
He quickly dropped anchor and tied off the boat to the docks. He yawned loudly and set out the disembarking plank to the dock and slowly walked down it. Today he was wearing black vest with gold buttons along with a white dress shirt as well as a red string tie with a pair of black pants and black leather dress shoes,and long white trench coat. His hands were in his pockets as he saw a small crowd of people gathered around at one spot. This peaked his interest slightly as he would walk over to investigate what was going on. He continued to hum bink's sake as he walked wishing to finish the song he had started to hum before he pulled into cactus island. Today he would leave his instrument and his precious dial back in his quarters underneath a hidden loose floorboard beneath his bed. He gently glided about through the crowd his stomach letting out very loud grumbling noise. He wasn't much of a cook in fact he really couldn't cook at all so he had been relying on mostly canned goods and fruit on his voyage. He made polite eye contact as he looked at the fishman a look of interest in his eyes.

Zanji's fist tensed up at the mentioning of his father from the unknown male marine. He knew nothing of the suffering his father went through. His hand began to shake he let out a few breaths and the shaking stopped. His eyes narrowed as he stared at the marine male. "It wasn't it was slow and agonizing and unjust he was murdered." He his words trembled slightly at the end as the anger began to rear its ugly little head. He needed to calm down and quickly otherwise he was going to end up in a fight that he probably wouldn't win. The images of the day his father was murdered passed before his eyes a tear welling up in his right eye as as it slowly trailed down the side of his cheek. If he was questioned more about his father his calm demeanor was most likely going to snap this was a very personal subject to him and he really didn't like talking about it.
He clenched his hands open and closed a few times this seemed to help him a little bit. He reached up and wiped the tear trail away from his cheek. His eyes widened in shock as he thought about his careless words to the girl and he was totally ignorant of her feelings. He shook his head and made a apologetic bow to her. " I am so sorry please forgive my rudeness miss I am sorry if I upset you with my careless words." His tone was genuine and compassionate he truly did feel bad he should of taken into account that girls feelings. He slowly raised up from his bow and brought his attention once again back to the male marine. "Yes she was a beautiful women." He smirked as the marine spoke he seemed to understand why he wanted to protect the tone dial so much. "Yes seems you understand the importance of it to me this is irreplaceable." He chuckled at the mans question about him having subordinates. "Oh no no i am but a humble traveling musician all by his lonesome, In my case though instead of subordinates I mean my friends i stick by my friends and help them."
He shook his head and covered his mouth as he let out a yawn. His tone being honest as he spoke "I have no group as I said I'm just on my own though I would like to get band members I would hope to someday form the worlds greatest musical troupe." He was speaking somewhat truthfully even though his tone was sounding honest he did his best to conceal the true message that lay hidden within his words. He wanted to find people yes it would be a great benefit if they were also musicians. Then again he wasn't really a average street musician he was a pirate and he wanted to one day become the greatest pirate there ever was. He smirked and nodded his head politely as he pocketed the tone dial. "Now if you will please excuse me I have things to do people to play my music for." He chuckled and began to walk straight down the alley way past the two marines. His demeanor was calm and cool his posture straight as his foot steps echoed around the stone surface. His facial expression changed into a smile as he began to Hum loudly the song he had played at the fountain before this incident took place.

Zanji let out a sigh of relief as he saw the women stand down from attacking him further. Good she at least was able to follow orders well. His eyes widened ins surprise as she began to unscrew her left pig tail and use what appeared to be needle nose pliers and carefully insert it into her head. Ok that was strange yet oddly it was super cool to him. He smirked as she gracefully began to move the pliers around. She definitely knew the layout of her body she was most definitely a a cyborg. He would need to consider looking into that would be pretty cool to be a cyborg though yet again he did enjoy his body being now made completely of rubber. It did come in handy so perhaps he would look to find a cybernetic crew mate to his roster. His attention was returned as the man spoke up addressing him as son. This pushed a little of his buttons his toes curling up slowly and releasing. He needed to take this carefully and speak calmly he did not want any trouble at the moment. He smirked and nodded his head at the man and spoke calmly "I respect a man who stands by his subordinates that we have in common but would you kindly not call me son, there was only one man who could call me that and he is long passed on my name is Zanji it is a pleasure to meet you both." He gave a polite bow to each of them as a sign of respect after all they were marines. Once again he was addressed as son which began to boil up a little anger anger but his face and body remained calm and collected. "Ah no wonder she was unable to talk my apologies but have you considered install a voice box or new vocals cords into her she is a cyborg. I could tell by the way she put so much power into her punches not to mention the whole hair thing." He chuckled in a jokingly tone at his comment and straightened out his posture so he was standing up straight. His back cartilage cracked loudly as he let out a sigh of relief and muttered "Ahh much better." He chuckled and spoke in a joking tone to answer the mans question about him having a bit of a mouth "Well maybe a little bit I know I need to work on it it will get me into trouble one of these days." He let out another sigh of relief as the man stated that he was not under arrest. That was music to his ears in a way he couldn't very well get on his adventure if he was in prison. He brought the dial up to his chest height and opened his palm. "Oh the dial my father had recorded with him onpianoand my mother singing it's a bit embarrassing but she was signing a lullaby for me." He rubbed the back of his head embarrassed his cheeks turning a little red "Here see for yourself good sir." He pressed down on the dials button and the sounds of a a piano began to play and soon a voice followed afterwords. His ears rang with pleasure hearing the sound of his mothers voice he almost could imagine her being right there in front of him holding him in her alp and singing to him. Her voice echoed out from the tone dial and in the alley way magnifying its brilliance at least to his own ears. Tone Dial Song

Zanji was somewhat shocked and appalled at the closeness of the women as he was only halfway through his apology when she was standing right before him. He was about to speak again when she delivered a powerful uppercut to his face. Oh so this women wanted a fight it seems if she wanted one he was going to give her one. He didn't understand her problem with him could she be that pissed at him for just blocking her shot. It was not like the impact was gonna do any damage to him thanks to his lovely little devil fruit. He held back his neck from stretching as he was launched upwards and he fell down to the ground motionless his hand still clenching his precious tone dial. He was not going to give out the nature of his ability oh o the time was not yet right for that. His expression changed form the lifeless expression on the ground to a smirk as he picked himself up. His eyes narrowed in focus and intensity he was going to get that girl back for the hit but before he could plan his next move he heard a loud voice barking orders at the women.
So it seemed she was a marine he was not going to mess with the marines just yet he was far to outnumbered currently and e would not escape unscathed. He needed to get a crew together as soon as possible to get his pirating adventure underway. He spat onto the ground and cracked his neck to the sides. "He does have a fair point she did not address herself as a navy officer nor the fact did you so I had no idea I was in the presence of the marines, other wise I wouldn't of interfered." In some way this was a half truth he would of still interfered after all his possessions were the ones that were stolen and he will not tolerate that from anyone. He took a step back as the man approached him and attempted to place his hand on his shoulder. He was wary at the moment and on his guard."I'm fine sir thanks you for asking no harm no foul but if she continues I will defend myself." He gently caressed the dial with his thumb as he took in a few calming breaths and looked out of the corner of his right eye at his violin case. "Yes everything is there though the money wasn't what was most important to me." He made sure his thumb stayed clear of the button on the tone dial not wishing to activate it. this song was for him and him alone to truly understand. His mother wrote it up before she passed on.
He bent down slowly and picked up his violin case by the handle and would slowly edge towards his violin and bow with his feet. He needed to be careful no sudden hostile movements. He really wasn't in the mood to deal with two marines. He clicked the case open and pocketed the money and placed the violin back in its case and placed the tone dial in his vests inner pocket. "Alright now that that's been settled I suppose we should address the elephant in the room shall we." He sighed and reached into his pocket of his vest and gently held up the tone dial. "I could not afford for your seaman gremlin was it to damage this item with her shot its all i have left of my family you see and i will protect it at any cost." He tightened his right hand and watched the women keeping his left eye on her while maintaining his eye on the man. He was not going to be sucker punched again. "So am I under arrest for unknowingly obstructing a marine?"

Zanjis eyes focused upon the nearby surroundings he was going to try and get everything into detail and analyze what he could do without causing to much destruction. He did not wish to do to much damage and get noticed b the local police or worse the navy. He watched as out of the corner of his eye he saw the women transform her arm into something reminiscent of what looked like a weapon. His eyes widened as he could sense the cold lifelessness of her gaze as she took aim at the thief. He could see no remorse with in her eyes and he could only come to one conclusion she was going to kill him. He swore and moved at his top speed and moved in front of the women's line of sight as she fired the shot. His back was to her and he took the hit of the compressed air ball. He smirked as he fell hard face forward his body stiff like a corpse holding his breath. Inside Zanji's mind he was rolling around having a fit of giggles at his little actions perhaps this is what she needed to get her head on straight.
He lay on the ground for a few seconds and his right hands index finger twitched as he took in a deep breath and got back onto his feet. He wiped off the grim and dust off from his black vest with gold buttons. His black dress pants were now covered with grime and muck as he sighed and cracked his neck to the side like it was nothing at all to him. "Don't you think that's a bit much he would of died if that had hit him." He slowly began to walk towards the thief making sure that the women was unable to get a clean shoot at the man again. He didn't know what she was exactly she could be a devil fruit eater but she could also be a cyborg he really didn't care at the moment. The thief reached into his pocket and pulled out a pistol his hands shaking terribly as he stuttered " Sstay away from me you freaks... Ill use thiss if i have to." Zanji chuckled and he cracked his right hand the cartilage popping loudly. "Aww how cute you go ahead and do that." His body was relaxed and showing no sign of fear but only a single emotion rage though he appeared calm and cool his body would give off a feeling of anger that anyone with a good sense of intuition could feel.
The thief screamed as he fired off a single shoot without taking aim the pistol going off and the bullet impacting into the wall besides zanjis left ear. He continued along his walk towards the man and raised his hand right behind his shoulder and stood at point blank range at the man. "Let this be a lesson to you not to take what does not belong to you!" He reached out and grabbed his violin cases handle then punched with full force not holding back a single millimeter of power he sent the man into the the side of the brick wall the man loosing a few teeth in the process as he snatched away the case before the man had taken the full impact of his attack. He looked down at the man who was bleeding and now unconscious. He quickly got down onto one knee and opened the case and counted the money and looked in the center of the casing and pulled a small brown flap that opened a small compartment in the casing. He sighed with relief as his precious treasure was safe. He took it out and clasped it in his hand and placed it next to his heart. He slowly turned around the object now visible within his hand as he muttered "thank goodness your safe." He held within his hand a small marble white circular spiral shell that was no bigger than the palm of his hand. "Sorry about ruining your shot but I couldn't risk the chance of your shot damaging this."

Zanji continued to sing his song as well as play the strings along his violin in unison. He felt somewhat pleased as he looked around as more and more people came up and gathered around the fountain throwing in there spare change and what not into his violin case. He gracious nodded his head each time he saw a person place a few coins or dollars into his case. Soon the case was beginning to fill up this brought a rather larger smile onto his face his fingers ceased there movements as he finished the final notes of his song. The crowd of people clapped there hands he even saw a few faces with tears on there faces. His song in some ways was meant to be sad but also in a way he meant it to be a warning. He wondered if anyone would get that hidden message that lay within its sad tones. He took notice of a man who had approached the crowd and was clapping at him at a exaggerated manner this seemed to piss zanji off just a little bit but he was unsure of the mans true feelings.
So he was going to let that side for the time being see how things played out. He gave a gracious bow tot he man though not wishing to be rude and his eyes widened in shock. Before him stood a man whose facial structure looked exactly like his own though his skin was darker and he had a different skeletal structure. He looked and examined him his eyes narrowing as he understood the man was from the long arm tribe. He had heard of those people before his father had spoken of tales of them. His smile slowly began to recede back and become just a grin upon his face. "Thank you for the review my good sir i always appreciate a honest critic about my music." He slowly turned about and faced down towards his violin case and was about to reach down and collect the money when he saw a hand reach out as a man pushed passed the crowd and ran in and swooped up his violin case money and all. His eyes widened in anger and he shouted " Someone stop that thief!"
His eyes widened in disbelief as the man ran down the street his anger boiled as he pushed passed the people. His anger reached over his boiling point as he gave chase after the thief since the crowd had done nothing to aid him . He was not going to allow that man to get away his favorite and most precious treasure was inside that case his mothers voice on a tone dial that was hidden inside the casing. He growled and was almost tempted to use his devil fruit powers but with so many people about he didn't want to display his abilities. He wanted to keep that a secret for as long as possible especially if there were any off duty marines on the island. He screamed a the top of his lungs " Get back you your thieving bastard!" His violin and bow lay with in his hands as he ran at full speed though he was making extra care not to bump into anyone or anything for he did not wish to damage his beloved instrument.

As he finished his song he took a few polite bows and turned his head and saw a rather pretty women in a white and blue striped sleeveless one piece dress with a sailor-style collar. She seemed like a nice women his eyes widened as he saw her place a 1000 berri note. He watched as other people had thrown in smaller amounts of change but still it was kind of them so for every time he received some coins he said kindly and respectfully "Thank you so much." He moved his fingers slowly along with the song and fished on a high note that he hoped would touch people deeply. He smiled and took a bow to the people as they clapped at his performance. He so did enjoy preforming for people it made him feel somewhat at ease and the rage inside him quiet if only for a little while. The memory he held within him would never be gone until he had exacted revenge upon the man. He curled his toes in anger at the thought as flashes of the incident of the death of his father. He turned his head and gave a low bow to the women who had given him the thousand berri note. "Thank you so much for your generous donation my dear lady." He smiled kindly and gave her a smile and cleared his throat and spoke "For my next composition ill be playing something i have been working on so please don't hold back your reviews." He chuckled and poised his violin. he clutched his chest where he felt the locket of his parents that dangled beneath his shirt he exhaled slowly and took in a short breath and calmed himself. This song he was going to be playing through out Mariejois his voice would echo throughout the halls of the holy land and all would know and be afraid. He smiled and put on a calm exterior but deep inside him he could feel the faint satisfaction and pleasure at the idea of what he would do someday. "One night, I hold on you Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, you Mariejois, Mariejois, Mariejois, Mariejois And who are you the proud lord said That I must bow so low Only a cat of a different coat That's all the truth i know In a coat of gold, a coat of red A lion still has claws And mine are long and sharp, my Lord As long and sharp as yours And so he spoke, and so he spoke That Lord of Mariejois And now the rains weep o'er his halls With no one there to hear Yes, now the rains weep o'er his halls And not a soul to hear"

Zanji lay adrift in his tiny row boat upon the great vast seas of the East blue. The sails were out as he lay on his stomach away from the sun. He lay dreaming happily his right leg sprawled out at a angle a blanket covering his back. He smacked his lips in his sleep as he dreamed of a wondrous feast as he was crowned the pirate king. A seagull passing over head gave a loud caw and he was awakened from his blissful dream. He was startled and his body jolted his head on the helm. His eyes bulged as he gave a cry of pain and he slowly crawled out from his makeshift bed. The boat would rock as small waves crashed upon his boat. He let out a long yawn and scratched his back with his right hand as he looked out onto the horizon. There he saw a sight he was glad to see finally. He rubbed his eyes making sure it wasn't a mirage and sure enough it was real a island. He let out a cheer and would of jumped for joy but he knew better he may be on a large ship but he still had to be careful to to fall into the sea. He quickly pulled the sails in as the ship quickly brought him to docking area. His pirate flag lowered and hidden inside the crows nest of the ship. He was so excited this was the first island he would of visited since he left his home. He hummed to himself as he dropped anchor and tied down his ship with some help from some friendly civilians. It was no easy task navigating this large ship but that's what he got for being a one man pirate crew. He was glad to be out of the water onto dry land again. He stretched out his arms and legs and began making his way into town. He hung his violin case over his right shoulder and walked slowly catching the different sites and activities of the island. He was amazed at everything he had never been on his home island before and he was excited at all the different sight, and smells of this town. His stomach growled loudly as he caught the scent of meat cooking. His mouth watered as he reached into his pocket and found nothing but pocket lint. He sighed and tossed the lint onto the ground and hung his head low and walked away saddened. "I guess I'm street performing." he retched and coughed for a moment and shook his head at the unpleasant smell that would surely greet hims nose. He sighed as he walked down the street and found a main plaza like area. there were lots of people about shopping when he was hit with a idea. He smiled and walked towards a white marble fountain and took a seat on the outer edge and opened his violin case and pulled out his violin. People loved street performers after all he cleared his throat and placed his violin out towards the crowd and began to play a song mournful yet with a great beauty his fingers moving gracefully across the strings, a feeling of being at peace was etched on his face. Zanji's Violin song
