Bikinis are love. Bikini's are life. [Job] [Arz/Yazuki]

Zeno and Tito traveled through the town of Hargeon, though instead of searching for food, today was gonna be their first job with Yazuki since the training and since joining Black Rose. They had been walking towards the Hargeon Main Docks where they would begin their job with Yazuki, "Ahhh, Now that I think about it, it's been forever since we had a job with Yazuki." Zeno had a brief memory of their training before he began shake himself out of it, "That's true, I guess. Though the real question is....Has the gap between us gotten smaller or larger." Tito replied with a wide and bright smile spread across his face, making Zeno smile in anticipation. They finally arrived at the main docks and lingered there for a while due to them being instantly attracted to the ocean that was shining due to the sun's reflection, it was quite a beautiful sight and they would most likely never forget it. Zeno and Tito walked towards the main docks to see a man staring straight at them, "You must be the kids I called for! The name's Midoriku! I'll be accompanying you on the ship ride and steering the ship the whole way. Our aim is to find the jewels on the island and find the sacred treasure known as the One Piece! Whatever the One Piece is, is still unknown, but! I just can't let the pirates have it! There are pirates who stole one of the maps and are currently looking for the treasure on the island." Midoriku introduced himself and thoroughly explained to Zeno what had been going on. Soon after, they boarded the ship and waited for Yazuki to arrive, they wanted to show Yazuki how much they had improved, and this was the perfect time to do so, after all, Zeno was gonna show the world that he was gonna become the strongest.

Zeno gazed at the beautiful ocean, caught in a daydream while he anxiously waited for Yazuki's arrival, it was unknown whether he would come or not, though Zeno believed he would, after all, they were best friends, though Yazuki seemed to be caught up in something, and Zeno didn't know what. It was like Yazuki had a new glow to him, maybe he found a girlfriend or a girl confessed to him? who knows, but Zeno knew Yazuki probably had more friends now that they hadn't seen each other for so long, he even found an exceed that Tito seemed to like which was also quite strong.

Yazuki could only smile at Zeno's and Tito's reaction to everything, and slowly the captain seemed to set off towards Divide Island, making preparations and pushing off. Zeno and Tito were their normal selves, going through the pantry and every other place they could to find food, which just made Yazuki laugh as he watched them on their rampage. He then turned his attention towards the direction they were heading and closed his eyes. This was the first mission since Marceline, the thoughts still fresh in his mind. He didn't intend for what happened, yet he couldn't help but feel it was meant to happen. Him trying to leave and her stopping him lead to them showing each other how they felt, and lead to the understanding by him that the cycle was meant to stay completed, and that he should maintain contact with her. They needed each other, as friends, and as companions travelling through this strange world together that they were charged with giving and taking from. They both were wrongfully tasked, not given the choice that should have been afforded them. Destined for greatness though they were, they still had to live with the fact it wasn't their choice, but it drove them together.

As the island came into view, Yazuki's thoughts blocked out the captains words, not making him able to concentrate on what was going on, but rather encouraging his imagination going over the events that had happened. He heard Zeno's words and smiled. "I have changed even more than you could imagine Kohai. There are things about me that you have yet to learn. Zeno, when I disappeared... I absorbed a soul due to the scar on my soul, and it kept me from dying. That soul, was the soul of Life itself. I am the Spark of Life, and you are my kohai, so show me everything you got and make me proud, I will likely just heal you for now. I apologize, but for me, its not about power anymore. It's about keeping others alive." He returned the infectious smile back to Zeno. He hoped his Kohai would understand that his transformation was complete, and now, he rarely caused harm to the lives he made...

Zeno gazed at his friend in confusion, what could he mean by 'That soul was the soul of life itself' though confused, Zeno somehow understood his friend, he changed his expression into a slight smirk as he stood and glared into Yazuki's green orbs for a short period of time that would end moments later, So he had grown way more than I expected, huh? Zeno turned his attention away from the 'transformed' man that he dearly cared for and redirected it towards the island the ship was approaching, it was close yet far. Zeno would continue to gaze at the sight of the beautiful oceans until their arrived at the island where the treasure resided, little did they know, the Blackbeards Pirates were a force to be reckoned with, but the real question was, have the three of them become a force to be reckoned with?

As they arrived on the shore of the big island known as 'Divide Island', they instantly jumped off the boat, with Yazuki trailing? Midoriku waved them off wishing them luck as they began to travel further on the island, Zeno had been hearing strange sounds within the big forest the soon entered after leaving the sea shore, though Zeno dismissed it, Yazuki probably had been sensing and knowing him as a cautious person, Zeno knew he could leave everything to him when it came to smelling or sensing another in the area. 

It had not been long in the forest before the boys had already been overtook with the need of food, they had been hiding it on the ship, but they had forgotten to eat due to their excitement to see their best friend. It was a complete surprise, as Zeno and Tito would normally never dismiss food for anything, maybe Yazuki was really special to them? or they had just wanted to rekindle their old relationship with their once lost friend.

"Ahhhhhhh, I'm hungry...!" Zeno and Tito exclaimed before falling on the ground in a comical way, they began to drool as they thought of luxuries they could be eating if not for the job. Zeno and Tito were to distracted on food, and weren't able to realize that something or rather someone was coming for them, Yazuki had surely detected it's presence but the boys were too busy fooling around to recognize the faint yet clear aura emitting from near.

OOC : The presence is the 3x Weak Midget Brigands.

The member 'Arz' has done the following action : Dice Rolls

---

'Monster Dice' :

OOC : Ignore the dice roll please, I stated in my last post that we were facing Midget Brigands first, and this job allows us to fight monsters in any order. So we aren't doing any dice rolls, that one was a mistake.

Yazuki matched Zeno's gaze, the smirk the kid had infectiously making him smile as well. He knew that his little kohai definitely had grown, making it apparent that this mission should go smoothly. The lightning the kid had mastered had brought about somewhat of a change in the kid, but not enough for him to change his habits and his food obsession as Yazuki had noticed. Neither had Tito for that matter. Though Tito's looks had changed, the exceed still seemed the same in attitude, but he wondered how their fighting style had changed, and if they had listened to what he had taught them before he had disappeared. Something caught his attention though as he head some small beings coming their way. Yazuki wondered if there were kids playing in the area, thus he dismissed it at first. Divide Island still had something about it that seemed to call him, something here that he knew related to what had made him who he is now. He still could not get a hold of what it was, but at the moment, he was more concerned about being reunited with one of his best friends. Zeno had followed him to Black Rose, something he already anticipated when he had changed guilds, but he also knew they both held somewhat of a respect for their former guild. Something seemed to bring on the air of someone being in the area that they both knew, but he still could not place it. He looked over at Zeno.

"So did you tell the guild I was alive? They probably didn't believe you if you did. Besides, my looks have definitely changes as has my very soul at this point. I still don't understand it fully, but I know my place in this world now." He inquired to his companions as he watched them collapse and complain about hunger. The footsteps grew closer, running faster and he could hear breathing that didn't sound normal for a group of kids as 3 miniature men with mushroom hats for heads rounded the corner, Zeno still laying on the ground. Yazuki looked at them stunned at they caught their breath and began to speak.

"Stop... right.... there!" one of them huffed. "What business do you have on this Island! SPEAK NOW IDIOT OR WE SHALL END YOU!" he finished.

Yazuki stood there in silence for a moment, not knowing what to say to these... miniature men? A smile crossed his face as he continued looking at them. They seemed to wear pots on their heads that had a large mushroom growing out of them, they didn't seem the type to be mages and even if they were, they weren't going to be much of a problem. He laughed a little as the man said he would end Yazuki and began to speak to them all. He began to have lightning speed around him, signifying his magical abilities increasing, then again more lightning as he would be ready to dodge anything these three came up with. His smirk widened, knowing at this moment, these three midgets weren't going to be a challenge for him, or Zeno.

"Three small fries like you, confronting a Demon Slayer and his apprentice? And you are going to just... walk up and tell me you will end us? I think you might have a few things coming if that is what your plan is. Zeno, you take care of them with Tito, these guys are hardly worth their height let alone their big talk for such small people"
