Still somewhat shocked and shaken from witnessing the explosion of Jashka Mark turned to John "I'll...go make some food."
Que timeskip. About an hour or two later the crew was gathered around the table.
"And for dinner we have Basil Salamon terrine." Mark said monotonly and laid the plate on the table
"Now, before we start eating there is one thing I would like to know. Except for John here I don't think I know any of you other people's names. I myself am Mark."

"I am Anar". Done with the introduction Anar thought he could start eating so he took some of the strange looking food.

"Woohoo, food! Looks awesome, mate. Still, something is missing... I know!"
John runs out of the kitchen and soon returns with two bottles of Jashkan wine.
"I grabbed a few on my short trip in the town before I got to the tavern. Now we're all set. Oh, and I am John, the marines sometimes call me John "Skipper" Daylett. I'm an ex-amrine and helmsman extraordinaire. And now that I've got that out of my way I can start eating while the rest of you waste your time on talking!"
John poured some wine into his glass and took a bite out of the dish in front of him.

Desu had woke up some time after they had left the island, looking deeply unhappy. The younger did not notice the dwarf at all, since there was not a reason to look around. Writing in pain from the fall down the stairs.
The lad with ferral eyes left for something, it ended up in a round of "Tell me your name young laddi", started my mister Daylett. I' said with the voice i' had "Mi mom named mi Desu!", and everybody was standing around with strange stuff attempting to eat or pronouce it. And there was no man-eating dwards in sight.
The food was.... looking better than some of what I' had servered under while bieng a tavernere(OOC: a person working at a tavern), and some of the food mi mom did not allow mi to eat years back.

Avoiding getting shot or sent off to jail had relaxed Jeb, but by his experience a ship full of strangers might be just as hazardous to one's health. It's best to mingle in as soon as possible. "Jeb Dooling, that's my name! I used to swab decks for the Comatose Seaweed," the round and hearty man introduced himself.

The food was delicious. Again it lacked the proteine richness of his usual food but it's texture was a lot softer and compared to the dry roots this was a delight of juiceyness.
Most of his fellow travellers seemed a little anxious... or just shy? He wasn't too good with human emotions but in the end it didn't really matter to him. They all didn't speak much except for John who seemed the most carefree about the situation. For some reason he also smelled like the Tavern the most... strange.
What Anar found mildly surprising was seeing a child on board. It was the creature from the Tavern... apart from it androgyness the kid looked pretty normal and thus pretty useless. Like the new fellow on the boat. If Anar was to travel the sea with these people he should know their battle abilities. There would be no use feeding and protecting fellow travellers that had no greater contribution to either their safety, comfort or fighting abilities. He grabbed another big helping of the food.
"So what do you two do here? And what can you do? You look average and the kid well under-average. What is the benefit from taking you with us?"

The barbarian lad proved he had no table manners, he spoke with his mouth full of food. It sounded something akin too: "S'a w't d' o do h'e? A'd 'at c' yu' 'o? Y' *large chomps of some better food destroyed the sounds* u'er-aver'e *stop eating to get done pronoucing the words*. What is the benefit from taking you with us?"
I' looked at him, and after eating up another of these foody things I' told him: "Mister barbarian, please stop being so rude. Don't eat while talking! And what does *imitates* 'S'a w't d' o do h'e? A'd 'at
c' yu' 'o?' mean? Is it a song?"

Anar gave the kid a puzzled look aparently he was delusional or his hearing was damaged. Probably both. Speaking slowly might help:
He pointed at the child "Yyyooouu llloookkk sssmmmaaalll aaannnddd wwweeeaaakkk. III wwwaaannnttt tttooo kkknnnooowww wwwhhhaaattt yyyooouu'rrreee dddoooiiinnnggg ooonnnn ttthhhiiisss ssshhhiiippp. UUUnnnllleeessssss yyyooouuu cccooooookkk aaannnddd cccllleeeaaannn III dddooonnn'ttt ssseeeeee wwwhhhaaattt yyyooouu cccaaannn dddooo. Sssooo wwwhhhaaattt cccaaannn yyyooouuu dddooo?"
Hopefully he understood that. He started eating his second serving. He could taste fish...

The barbarian started speaking very slowly it seemed, the sound was still messed up. But this time he had no food in his hands, and was not moving them at all. I' just thought about it and a thought about mi mom saying to a partner she had while hunting a crew leaded by a captain called "Sketcher": "Remember ty focus after hittin' yer head, its easyar to figurje out what yoo. Dhan(then) do not sleep, until its fine." I' stopped up a bit more and tok notice of the sound of the waves of the sea, being all wrong?! It sounded like someone eating potatochips, sadly then the sea would become fat! O poor ocean, it was so slim now! It would problely have to train to get down in weight. O wait, every single sound was wrong. Then mi hearing must be bad. I quoted a doctor who had given me medicine and made me ill some time ago: "Only time well tell, the best medicine is time."
The barbarian got done speaking, and moved over to grab something more to eat.
I then said to the barbarian: "Mi mom where a bounty hunter, I' worked for madam Chevan while on the island, I' apparently damaged mi hearing when I' fell down the stairs, I' dun't remember what your name is again, mi mom called me Desu, a few lads at the tavern claimed I' was invincinle at armwrestling, and I' got a talent for falling down stairs(OOC: Remember, its so far the only thing on OP that has killed a strong character,a thing that people usually survive)."

Erster came up from under the deck after his nap. The smell of burned hair was faint but still there.
-Oh, what's this, snack time? Good, I could eat pretty much anything.
-Welcome aboard my gunner! - John shouted at him - We were just giving away our names! - John started drinking his wine.
-That so? Then I'd be Erster, of the Ironclad clan and I'm hungry!
He took aquick step to the table, grabbed the first thing he saw and started munching. - S-aw tha igt mameel, 'kin s'art to'kin proplly *swallow* And what about you guys? Bah, nevermind, we'll work sumthing out on the way.
Erster took a seat near Anar. - See, this laddy here is wearin' a skirt so he dusn't need a name anyway, I kin make 'im a nickname fast. *points at Mark* This over 'ere got yello eyes, *points at Jeb* there is this new guy I see the first time and the one *munch* nze le'ot tha'mloo a' t'ver *swallow* is the capt'n. Too bad there aren't any women here... Oh, this fish is good! - all there was to hear from him now was his loud munching.

"And who the heck is he by the way? I didn't see him in the tavern, another guy you picked up on the way John?"
John's head tilted in the direction Mark was pointing at, then back at Mark. He was clearly heavily drunk after his first glass of wine.
"He's a... whatshisname... Jeb! Yeah, that's about right. He's our... you know... crew member! So we'll have one more man to... drink with! Yeah!"
John bangs his cup with Jeb's and takes a big gulp out of it. Just then Erster came in and introduced himself. John waited patiently until he finished then rose up and lifted his cup.
"Well that's great! Now we all know each and are ready for everything! So let's drink for the... what was our name again?.. Ah, who cares. Cheers!"
He empties his cup and falls back into the chair.

Mark looked at John in disbelief.
"THIS is the navigator and captain?! On second thought I'll be dropping off at the next island we go to!" Mark said "Anyway, what should we call ourselves? We need a good pirate name if we're gonna be renown pirates!"

John looked at Mark in confusion.
"Wait a second, pal... Did you just name me captain? Come on, that's ridiculous, right?"
He looked around the table searching for support, but everyone was looking at him with a serious face.
"You brought us together, laddy." Ernster said what was on everyone's mind, "And even gave us this here ship. Who be a better captain than you?"
"Woaw, woaw, guys, stop. I never agreed to this. I just... just wanted a crew, you know... to sail with. I'm no captain... heck, I don't want to be a captain. I didn't run off from the marines to take such respan... rasberr... ruswel... *cough* ... res-pon-si-bilities. Besides, I'm just a helmsman, ok, a darn good helmsman, but I've never been a captain in my life. No, no, no, mates, choose someone else for this role."

Jashka Island city, roughly two Hours after the departure of John Daylett & Co.
Nearly all of the fires had been put while the rest was under control soon to be extinguished. All the people wha had been caught in the burning buildings was also saved and being looked after by their neighbours, friends and fellow citizens. Most of the pirates had also been aressted and locked up in the cells of the fort. Right now the marines where busy confiscating weapons, food and other supplies and items on board the pirate ships.
Ensign Tourville sat in the Harbour Masters's Office beside the fireplace with a glass of Vodka in his hand. He stared into the empty air, seemingly in deep thought. He had a bitter expresion on his face. And for the first time ine years, he was at a loss of words.
-John Daylett and the stolen marine ship, gone. Jolly D. Every is nowhere to be found, while his ship has escaped. Half the city is destroyed, the other half in chaos. He finaly spoke. A lot of people died today. Good people with bright futures ahead of them. Old, young, men, women, adults and children. All dead, allong with their hopes and dreams. So much pain, so much sorrow and death. He emptied his glass grabbed the bottle and drank directly from it.
Steve Westham wathced the young depressed ensign as he seemd to drown his concerns and thoughts in alcohol. For Steve this wasn't the first time he had experienced something like this. In his 50 years he had seen much of the worlds cruelty and sadness to fill a barrel. He symphatized with the young man.
-Look Tomy. He said in a calm voice. There's a lot of things in the world that's unjust. There is always pain and sorrow where ever you go. He lit his pipe and sat down in front of Tourville. But that's why we have hopes and dreams. You see we dream and hope cause we want a better life and lifestyle. Cause we want to escape from the hardships of the world. But we can't cause there are hardships in every part of life. That's what makes life worth living. Cause it has it's ups and downs.
Tourville slowly raised his head and looked upon the older man who met his gaze before he continued.
-You see Tomy, where ever there's light there's darkness. Cast like shadows. The one can't exist without the other. They are bound togehter, just as life and death is bound. Cause we face hardships, cause we suffer and feel sorrow, we can also feel joy, and peace. If life was only filled with good we would soon get tired of life and whising for it to end. But because we have both joy and pain we endure and strive to make the best out of life. And that's why we value it so dearly.
As Ensign Tourville listened to Steve and thought about the meaning of the words, his mood seemed to lift and he brightened up a bit. His mind more at ease, he filled the glass once more. Standing up facing the fire he even smiled a little, thinking about his next move.

Mark looked at John, who was in the middle of telling us that he is not the captain, and he let out a sigh of relief.
"Well, that's good, cause I think that we would be pretty much screwed if you were the captain. But that leaves us a problem. WHO is the captain? And what should we call ourselves!" Mark said almost laughing.
Marine base in Jashka
Ensign Tourville had been summoned by the captain to hear som news, as he arrived in the captains office captain Brand was on the den den mushi
"So all the preperations are all right and in order? Good! Tell that sloopy son of a ***** that is suppose to be my replacement that when he comes here he should have a large supply of "Iron will" packed in his suitcase! He'll need it." Brand slammed the phone down on the den den mushi((or w.e it's called when you slam the phone .... down on the phone .... I NEED A DICTIONARY DAMN IT! <.< )
Brand turned to Tourville and smiled "Ah! Tourville, you came at the perfect movement. You see, I just had a talk with Marineford, as you might have seen, and I reported this small insident here at Jashka. And as you might understand the authorites are pretty pissed off at us for letting both John Daylett and that Every snow get away. So as a responds, they want to send someone chasing after them. Their original plan was to send someone from HQ, buuut I convinced them that it would take too damned long and that it was better for us here on Jashka to go chasing while the HQ sends out someone to take over this post." Captain Brand made a slight pause and coughed
"And it is therefore, that I, Captain Brand, leader of the marines here on Jashka island, promote you, Ensign Tomy Tourville, to the rank of Lieutenant and appoint you to take charge of the small group of marine warship that has been assigned to go chasing after the least dangerous of the two villians that are to be chased. Any objections? No? Good." Brand said the last rather quickly
"While you do this, I will take the command of the other warships and will go chasing after Jolly D. Every, the most dangerous of the two villians, who's bounty has now been raised to the rather modest sum of 60,000,000 Belli! That will be all, Tourville. Your dismissed."

There was some speech, some talk, somebody saying some rable about "I am not a sort of captain.".
BUT there was a dwarf behind me, he snuck on up on me. He was going to eat me, so i sat there silently in fear shivering attempting to figure out a good solution to get out of the problem.
===============================
Meanwhile on the deck of the ship, there was a big brown sack. Other luggage was dumped alongside it now. Some food, quite a bunch of supplies, cloths, and other stuff.
The brown sack started moving, and after a minute a man had finally crawled out. He stood there and looked around trying to figure out what happened, standing tall with red eyes and green hair. He looked with the famous pirate "Chuckles", but with a lot slimmer build and was shorter in height. He even had a fresh cut which was becoming a scar, identical to what "Chuckles" had obtained the same night that had yet to go away.
He was a man with a sad past, well sad was only the last 2 years. Going by the name of Ode Venter, he was now 34, unmarried, and in a lot of trouble.
It all started out on Windsong island back in South Blue, he had gotten invited to the marines Yule-party by a friend. The events followed with him wrecking the entire marine fort, destroying every single debris he could find. So he ran, and after that all all events of him traced by the marines involved in some manner, for some obscure reason: Bar brawls. So he was finally shipped a bounty of 9 million belly for being a notorious criminal, and the epithet of "Brawler".
What was he doing here? Oh wait, he just remembered to have gotten in one heck of a brawl again and ran of by tearing trough the rooftop of the bar. He then had jumped quite a bit, before getting assaulted by a kid. Well... Assaulted was not a good word for the situation, he had gotten backstabbed quite good. It was a mace wielding small character who had thrown massive amounts of seawater at him before knocking him out. The seawater had nullified his devil fruit. Quite the shame. He had been knocked out a few hours.
He looked a bit less confused around, there was apparently something burning in the horizon. He was on the deck of a boat, but it was no boat apparently. It looked strange, there was something bent down in the middle, and the ship was ridicule close to the water. The material on the outside of the shiplike thingy seemed to blend with the water, this thing would be impossible to spot from a distance!
He looked around more: Weapons, massive amount of supplies, medicine, but he finally found a rowing boat and escaped into the night towards the searing red.
OOC: Remember that every single character in One Piece got a history, even passerby strangers and mooks.

Anar wasn't too pleased with the situation, so much talking but so little results, his master would have taught them all a lesson in efficienfy after the first two sentences of redundant chatter. Atleast the food was good, but they wouldn't go anywhere with just good food (most importantly he wouldn't be going anywhere) so to his slight dismay he would have to adress the questions asked, since no other than the dwarf seemed inclined to bring them forwards.
"No John I think you should be the captain. I do not believe that you're the carefree,lazy,irresponsabile and hedonistic person you make out to be. Atleast not when it counts. It will remain to be seen but I still think you should be the captain. Not least because of a lack of alternative."
He hadn't known John for all that long and his assesment of his character could be called an uneducated guess at best but from what he had gathered so far the impression seemed plausabile. Anar didn't take much interest in his fellow travellers but he thought it best to observe them and learn about them what he could simply because he was to travel with them. And information was half the fight and it never hurt to have an advantage or someone...
"And we should call ourselves the Fortune Pirates."
He didn't care to explain why since the meaning was quite selfevident and he had already talked too much. But atleast he had answered the unanswered questions so hopefully they could make some sort or progress now and stop this unneccesary chit chat.

There was a long silence... for a reason beyond Anar it felt like days. Probably his unusual full stomach playing tricks on his mind...
Maybe they were pondering the meaning of "Fortune Pirates"? Or maybe he had said something wrong? Whatever the reason was Anar was happy that the chit-chat had ceased and leaned back in his chair to listen to the sound of the waves.
