 * HitomiHyuga Watching the harbor come closer while they moved into it, Morgan smiled being the first time that she had ever been to this area. The Sabaody Archipelago. She had heard of the place when she was a little girl from her mother. A place where the mangrove trees were huge and the overall look of the area was breathtaking. She never thought that she would have been able to see it with her own eyes. Then again, she didn’t believe that she would be able to actually travel the Grand line as much as she is going to either.

With a long black and white sun dress on with a pair of strapped sandals, she leaned on the banister while peeling the meat of a mango off with a knife and began to wonder what Stratos wished her to do with this Lukas character. Stratos had made sure that she had enough money for both of them to take in a play while here and take care of anything that either of them would need while they were docked and he was in his meeting. She had never met anyone by the name of Lukas as of yet and wondered when she would have the honor of meeting the individual. All Stratos told her was that this would be a good experience for the both of them. She sighed softly and bit a piece of mango from the piece that she had just cut off while she watched the harbor come closer and the Marine base was in sight now.

She turned and her emerald hues watched as the officers and crew were making preparations for the docking of the ship. Hearing the shouts and the pounding of many shoes while the sails were brought up and the ropes were tied down to slow them down. With a great splash, the anchor was lowered into the water and the ship came to a complete stop. It was not much longer before they had docked completely and were lowering the gangplank down onto the wharf.

The crew stood at attention as Stratos walked across the deck. Leaning still on the banister, Morgan smiled with a wave to him while he walked down the gangplank and made his way to meet up with some of the other Vice Admirals that were waiting for him on the wharf. Her eyes followed the group of them for a while before they were no longer in her sight. With a soft sigh, she cut another piece of the fruit and ate it. “Now, where is this Lukas that I’m supposed to meet?” Edited by HitomiHyuga 19:17, June 20, 2016
 * A Wikia contributor 96.41.157.80Lukas: Sleep, yes sleep that's what the chimp did about 90 percent of the time he was on the the big floaty thing, specifically in Stratos's quarters. From an outside point of view one could see the chimp sprawled out on the love seat in the Vice Admiral's quarters arms and legs spread out and a smile on his face as he was dreaming quite a great dream. If one could see in his mind they would see a beautiful set of scenery... sunny skies, a lovely beach with the whitest of sands and clearest of waters, and lastly lush tree's as far as the eye could see flourishing with bananas and a hammock set up on each one so Lukas could rest after gourging himself at each tree and nap, but this heaven-like dream wouldn't last much longer.

As Lukas was about to get to his third tree to start to eat all the bananas he would find himself checked back into reality as he was flying through the air towards a wall as a sudden jerk of the floaty thing he was aboard stopped abruptly, thus making him smack into the wall. "Fuck." the chimp would say as he slowly picked himself up and rubbed his head that he had just bonked against the wall rather hard. After a few moments of gathering himself he would shake his head and begin to make his way through the door and up the stairs to the main deck of the ship to see that they had stopped and everybody, execpt a random humanoid he wasn't familiar with, had gotten off... Lukas being a curious chimp would take it upon himself to meet this new humanoid.

The chimp would climb the ropes and nets above that connected to the masts slowly and quietly as he watched the humanoid closely as she looked to be looking out to the shore and eating something that Lukas might look to take as he was a hungry monkey when he wakes up. After a few more jumps and movements he would be hanging by his feet upside down right above the humanoid as he swung back and forth waiting for his moment to hop in, and.... that moment was now! Lukas would let go as he would free fall about 15 feet above the humanoid with his arms extended towards what she had in her hands, had she not noticed in time the chimp would be sucessful in his plan, but he would still fall into her which would more than likely cause the two to fall to the deck... a rather awkesrd first meeting but a meeting none the less. 19:26, June 20, 2016
 * HitomiHyuga Morgan had just finished slicing another piece off of the mango while watching those that were leaving. The blade in the same hand as the mango, she’d eat with the other hand as she waited for her companion of the day unknowing that he would have already been in the area.

Just as she brought up the piece to her mouth she saw movement in her peripheral vision coming from above and all too soon felt first the fur then the weight of the creature. Startling her, she’d dropped the things in her hand before being forced down onto the deck of the ship by the falling weight from above. The knife having sliced her hand as she tried to stop from hitting the deck so hard caused her to wince in pain with a slight hiss leaving her lips. Her emerald hues looked to the weight that was on her with first anger. “The hell do you thin..” Her words came short as her eyes fell on the chimp who now had her mango in his hands. The anger fell from her face and she tried to reposition herself while looking to the chimp. “Oh. Hello. I haven’t seen you around here before.” She looked to her hand and tried to make sure that it was nothing more than a cut. Holding her hand to the side, she’d continued to look over the chimp. “You’re not hurt are you?” Letting him keep the rest of the fruit, she’d reach to brush her fingers through his fur to make sure that she was the only one that had been cut and the animal was alright.

<span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">After any inspection, she’d simply look to the chimp with a slight tilt of her head. Sliding out from under him, she’d stand and hold out an uninjured hand to him to take. “Well, tell you what. I’ll bandage up my hand and treat you to some food on shore. Yes?”

<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;line-height:1.38;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">If he took her hand, she’d lift the chimp up to her hip and hold him as one would a small child. Walking to the med ward, she’d clean up her hand and now able to use both hands and not get blood everywhere, she’d carry him properly at her hip. She’d reach to scratch down over the side of his neck with a smile as she’d walk them back on deck “And who might you be? Quite the handsome little fellow.” She looked about once more with a slight bit of concern since she had yet to find this person that she was supposed to meet. “Where is this Lukas?” She pressed her lips together and sighed as she then looked to the chimp once more. 20:01, June 20, 2016
 * A Wikia contributor 96.41.157.80<p style="margin-top:0px!important;">Lukas: -CRASH- the shound that would be made as he made contact with the humanoid as the two collided and began their descent to the deck, but not before Lukas would grab the food she had in her hands and cradled it to his chest to ensure its safety as he braced for impact. -THUD- the two hit the grounf but the chimp's fall would be broken by the humanoid beneath him as he raised up rather quickly still standing on top of her as he glanced at her quick then extended his arms to and took a glance at his hands seeing his prize was safe and sound, but that would be the least of his worries as he heard the humanoid start to speak.

The chimp would hear her voice and noticed that it had the same tone as the small ugly humanoid he had been paired with before making him roll his eyes as he knew what was coming, but to his surprise when she noticed what he was her tone changed to a much more kind and gentle one. She would talk to him but.... he was a monke would barely understood what she was saying... so being the cheeky chimp he was he would just smile and nod his head as he saw her reach for him and run her fingers through his short fur "EEE EEE" he would screech, Lukas did not like being touched very much as he jumped back and took a bite from the fruit as he gave her a slight glare. He would hear here talk once more and notice the word "food" and he was all in for whatever she was wanting to do.

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">Seeing her reach her hand out towards him he would kindly deny it by gently slapping it away as he continued chewing on his food and just pointed forward indicating that he would follow her until he would get his food that is. 00:01, June 21, 2016
 * HitomiHyuga <p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;line-height:1.38;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">After her hand had been pushed away and she had bandaged herself up, she continued to look to the chimp as he pointed towards the gangplank. She smiled and gave a nod. Perhaps she would be able to figure out just what this little one was saying or what would be a way to talk to him. This would prove to be difficult but anything was better than the internal struggle that she had with herself.

<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;line-height:1.38;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">After making her way down the gangplank, she’d stop at the bottom to make sure that her little companion made it down to the bottom before she’d continue on. Her sandals made it much easier to walk on the wharf than her heels would have, in a small way she was grateful to have been given them back after they took everything else she had.

<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;line-height:1.38;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">The further she walked, she more she looked down to see if the chimp was still with her. The overgrown mangrove trees made it very nice and almost like a paradise of sorts of greenery. Her eyes looked up to the canopy while speaking to the chimp but sure that he wouldn’t understand her. “Quite the hike up. I’m sure you’d like to swing from up there.” Her gaze looking to him once more before she’d continue on their way. She had promised him some food and she’d make sure that she gave him exactly what she had promised.

<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;line-height:1.38;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">The street that she had turned on was lined with shops and stands. Eyes looking from one to the other, she’d find a fruit stand and smile. “Let’s see if we can get this one to speak some.” Picking up a variety of fruits from bananas, papayas and mangos to grapes, apples and peaches, she’d carry them all to a green area that could very much look as if it was a small park in any other village or city. She’d sit and pat the ground next to her while looking to the chimp.

<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;line-height:1.38;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">If he joined her or not, she’d take out the first of the fruits and hold it out to him. “Banana.” She said simply making sure to say each syllable clearly for him to pick up. Her eyes looked to him as she held out the fruit. This was going to be time consuming but she hoped that it would be worth it in the end. A chimp trained to speak and understand the spoken language was one that would be a great asset to Stratos. Then again, it was nice to have someone around even if he couldn’t speak back to her. She’d hold out the banana to him and repeat the name of the fruit just as slowly as she had the first time. If he took it, she’d let him have it. After all, she had promised him food and she wouldn’t deny it to him. 00:36, June 21, 2016

After the woman would emerge from the inner parts of the ship, he would notice something around her hand, but wouldn't pay much more attention to it than he already did. Not long after she re-appeared she would already be making her way down the long board on the side of the ship, being curious, Lukas would walk to where the board started and would take a glance down the long piece of wood and stare over seeing her standing there stopped as if she were waiting for a few moments then the humanoid would begin to walk again again. Lukas remembering her mentioning food would jolt down the board and make it close to her side in mere seconds as the two would venture on to this place lush with nice tree's, kinda reminded the chimp of home.

Not too long after a walk through the would see civilization and turn onto a street that led to it, this street would have many stalls and markets flooding its enviornment. He would hear her say a phrase, but would just shrug it off as he was more interested in the food she was gathering in her hands as she went stall to stall. After what seemed like an eternity she would finally finish and begin to walk towards a clearing of green grass a few clicks off the street they had been wandering around on for some time now. Lukas would look ahead seeing all of the potential things he could take, but the growl in his stomach would overpower his wanting for those things as he looked over in the direction his humanoid friend had set off to and noticed her patting hte ground next to her as she laid the fruit out around herself.

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">Lukas would run on all fours towards her to reach his max speed as he was very hungry at this point. As soon as he reached within a foot or two from the humanoid she would hold a fruit he was very familiar with a yellow delicious, he would hear her say a word slowly, talking to him as i he were stupid. Being the trickster he was he would play along just to get what he wanted... "Bana- FUCK!" he would start to say in a normal word before shouting out the latter as he would grab at the banana quickly ready to eat. 21:53, June 26, 2016
 * HitomiHyuga <p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;line-height:1.38;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">Her emerald eyes watched the chimp as he came in close and eyed the fruit. Knowing this animal was far from stupid, she watched his movements and paid close attention to him. Like there was a reason for Stratos to have her on the ship, there was also a reason for this chimp. Stratos didn’t seem to be someone to just have something for the sake of having something.

<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;line-height:1.38;"> <span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">Seeing the animal quickly try to grab for it, she twisted her wrist about making the piece of fruit disappear from his reach before it could land in his grasp. “Banana.” She said again as she once more held the piece of fruit in front of him. If this was going to be a game, then she could play as well. Granted he had her bested if he decided to make a run for it. There was only so much that she would be able to do when it came to him being able to use not only his hands but feet and tail as well. “Say the name of the fruit. You will get it.” There had to be some level that she could get on with this chimp to get him to understand what she was saying. She continued to study the animal as she held out the fruit to him. How much coaxing would it take for her to get him to speak? That was the real question. Edited by HitomiHyuga 22:41, June 26, 2016
 * JaeJaeTheAirplane <p style="margin-top:0px!important;">Did she really think he would just give in to her desires? Lukas was used to people giving and taking from him and with his keen monkey eyes he saw what was his for the taking. As the humanoid waved the food in front of his face saying the word Banana, trying to get Lukas to say it he would just shake his head. Something strange happened after he had eaten that nasty fruit in big humanoid's quarters... since that day he could completely understand the humanoids and speak freely... He had just been playing stupid to stay under the radar and seem like a normal chimp so he could ease by and live a normal monkey life.

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">"OOHH MY OOOH FUCKING EEEE BANANA AHHHH!" Lukas would scream a frew grunts inbetween words as he grabbed three fruits that were laying on the ground around him. He would then just sit and eat them staring at the humanoid eye to eye awaiting her response, a rather surprised one would be incoming one would only guess. 15:20, June 28, 2016
 * HitomiHyuga <p style="margin-top:0px!important;">Morgan looked to the chimp with shock at first. It took her a moment to register what had transpired. She had only told him one word but had been given three in between grunts and screams. She didn't even care that he had taken the other fruit and began to eat it. The words that the chimp said were going through her mind. He had made a complete statement and one of proper possession of what was his. He was correct. The banana was his. That was not just a basic prase that he had put across, but one that showed this chimp was playing everyone for the fool and food.

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">Handing him the banana, she picked up some grapes and began to eat as she looked to him. "Alright. Since you have been given what I promised you, what would you like to do since we're here?" Her eyes looked around the area and she saw a few more shops, a theater, a tavern. Then a few odds and ends places that would be interesting to perhaps see if she could find some parts for some projects that she had wanted to do. However, as she sat there talking with the chimp, she the small hairs at the back of her neck began to stand on end. Looking about, she'd try to see what it was that had given her that wierd sensation. "Do you feel that? Like someone's watching us?" She wasn't sure if the chimp would feel the same thing that she did, but it was worth at least getting a second opinion. 16:46, June 28, 2016
 * HitomiHyuga <p style="margin-top:0px!important;">Not liking the feeling that she had recieved from some unknown set of eyes, Morgan had gathered up the fruit that she had bought for Lukas and stood. There wasn't any real reason for her to be moving out but the idea that someone or something was watching them didn't make her feel any better. Even being out in the open like they were, it made no sense. But she had to remember the area that they were in. The Sabaody Archipelago was known for its slave trade but the idea of someone trying to do something in the middle of the day seemed a bit far fetched but then again, anything could happen.

She had looked behind her to ensure that the chimp had followed behind her while she made her way through the streets to the ship. Her head moved back to where they were going when a flyer caught her eye. Turning for a moment, she walked up to a wanted poster and smiled softly. Her fingers ran over the picture of a woman with blue eyes that sparkled with life and long flowing hair. The poster simply saying the woman's name and the bounty that was under it. It was a standard wanted poster that had been put out by the Marines but Morgan couldn't help herself. "I'll take your bounty." She said softly as she took the poster down and folded up the wanted poster tucking it away in the bag. Another picture caught her eye and she tilted her head a bit. It wasn't the standard wanted poster but one that a slaver had put out. It was the picture of a wolf mink with gray fur and black hair with the name of "Luna" under it. Pressing her lips together, Morgan thought about where she had seen that image before. She wasn't sure but took the poster and placed that one with the other.

The unsettling feeling of being watched was causing her skin to crawl until she almost grabed the chimp by the hand and pulled him back to the ship. She'd just have to come back later for any shopping or browsing. Perhaps she'd bring someone with her this time. Not that she was afraid but just the idea that she was a female alone in an area that was known for their slave trade and she wasn't one that was really good with weapons yet. Yeah. She'd come back later.

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">Boarding the ship, she'd take the grapes and the posters from the bag and place the rest on the deck next to the chimp. "Those are yours as promised." She'd then walk back to her room and close the door behind her. Placing the posters on the dresser as well as the grapes, she'd open the porthole window to let the breeze in while she stretched out on her bed. The wind came in and blew at the two posters. Moving the one on top just slightly, only the name and bounty on the bottom one was showing. Scarlet Cinder. B 300,000,000.
