Ice on the Lily

True Calmness
The smell of the sea filled the air around a ship that sailed alone. The utter silence of the sea made it easier for the passengers onboard to safely and peacefully meditate. The, a place known to almost never have ocean currents or winds blowing. In the depths of this ocean lie the vicious beasts known as. As the ship sailed across the ocean, a trail of ice was left behind it. The ship's belly was covered in metal and to an outsider, it was for an unknown reason.

"Shut up, kid." A white-haired man stated to a young boy at his side. "When she finds this out, you'll be dead meat, kid." The man approached the front of the ship, looking over the railings that held people from falling over. He threw his hand over his forehead, as though he were trying to create some sort of shed as he looked in the distance. This man was none other than Jack Frost, a commander and Shichifukujin of the Black Widow Pirates.

The young boy quieted himself, just as Jack had commanded. For the time being at least. He reaching into his pocket and pulled out a small tablet, pulling a pen from its springs. Opening it, he began to write on a page that was already full of words. The very top line had "Potential Recruits" written and underlined. Names were listed in bulletins as shown;

*Draco D. Damon (Martial Artist, Cook) *Phoenix D. Red (Broker) *Zahara Annabeth (Doctor) Sengoku D. Autumn (Marine) *Pendrake Arthun (Marine) *Draco D. Indiana (Archaeologist)

Draco D. Indiana had been the next name added to the page. He flipped over to the next page, there bore tons of writing sloppily placed compared to the page before. The top line read "Crew Name Drafts" and the list went as followed;

*Web Pirates (No, too close too Legs' crew name) *Zack's Troops (Insanely stupid.) *Pendant Pirates (No, doesn't roll off the tongue too well.) *Gold Pendant Pirates (Literally the same as before)

Those names were the only ones readable, the rest had been struck through with his pen. The boy flopped back and threw the notepad on top of his face. "If she finds out I'm here with you, I'm gonna' just blame you for this. That hag would never believe you over me, haha." The boy lifted himself back up and placed his notebook back into his pocket. Reaching into the opposite pocket he drew out a pistol.

He closed one eye and looked down the pistols sight, aiming it directly for the back of Jack's head. "Aye, Jack. If you were to have your own crew, what would you call it?"

Jack turned around and began to head in the direction of the boy. "Watch where you point that thing, kid. Unless of course, you're brave enough to pull that trigger." Passing by the boy he took it upon himself to slow down once he reached him, "I had a small crew before I was thrown into Impel Down, the crew was called the Frostbite Pirates. That should be none of your concern, you're a . Now go clean something, Zack."

The boy continued aiming the gun at the open sea, pulled the trigger and fired a free round which would get lost in the large ocean. "Because I'm gonna' have a crew that'll be stronger than this shit hole. Everyone here'll remember the name; Buster D. Zack!"
