"Hey you" The man grunted.
"What?" He answered looking out at his fishing line.
"Your that guy aren't you?" The man spat onto the street. "That bounty hunter dude right?"
He sighed, looks like he wasn't going to catch much here.
"Yes I'm the former legendary bounty hunter known as the Wolf Dragon, but I'm tired of that so leave me alone."
"You got a nice price on yer head you know tat?" The man grinned.
"Yeah what of it?" He felt the small chill of a blade being placed near his face and he sighed once more. "Last chance to leave me alone."
"It's not happening mate." The bounty hunter heard the unsheathing of two more blades, the burly man had brought backup. He sighed once more, looks like this was going to be one of those days.
"Your choice." He rose to his feet and looked at the man with tired black eyes. He quickly used the fishing pole's back end to knock the blade out of the man's hand and jab him in the throat. When the other two goons attacked him he repeated the process causing them all to back up a few feet. Getting a better look at them he could see that the three obviously belonged to some sort of pirate crew. Well it figures he was hated by theives and pirates alike. He bent over and placed his rod on the ground, he didn't want it to break off of some idiot's skull. The burly man cursed at him.
"Now now language." The burly man grew angry and with a nod of his head signaled for the two goons to attack him.
As they tried to attack him with their fist he blocked them with his arms. He managed to grab hold of ones throat with his left hand and twist the other's arm behind his back with his right. The burly man took it upon himself to try and use the oppertunity to attack him. He tried a simple punch to the face,which seem to connect but was somehow millimeters from the bounty hunter's nose. The young man looked at the fist with a bored expression platered across his face. The burly man looked surprised to have missed and his mouth was agape. Without changing his expression in the slightest the bounty hunter opened his mouth and with the straightest face bit the man's fist. The burly man yelled in surprise and angrily swung at him with his other fist. The young man ducked and used his shoulder to unbalance the man sending him over his back and splashing into the water below. The young man followed up with tossing in the other two goons. The three pirates splashed around in to water off the pier. He bent over to pick up his rod and walk away when he heard the burly man yelling.
"H-help" He spat out a mouthful of saltwater. "I c-cant swim!"
The young man looked at the struggling musclehead and laughed. "Your a pirate but you can't swim!?" He laughed harder "I should let you drown just for that."
the burly man pleaded with him as he splashed. "Tell you what, I help you out and you take me to your ship for a reward? Hows that sound?" The burly man was angry but had no choice but to agree. The young man threw the muscle man a line and pulled him out of the water. When he caught his breath he looked up at a black sword in his face. "No backing out of our deal now." The bounty hunter smiled.

So the Burly man signaled the ship to lower a ramp for them to board it. The bounty hunter followed after him and soon stood upon the ship's deck. He was aware of the stares and glares the small sized crew gave him. Looks like his reputation escaped him. He was aware that most of the rumors about him were mostly about whose son he was and maybe partly his own record at bounty hunting. When he said legendary it was more of a mind game he played with people, he doubted he was actually that known. So it was no surprise the crew gave off snickers and grins of evil intent.
Now back on the ship he had so many friends on the burly man grew brazen once again and began to laugh loudly.
"Well here she is the ship I serve on, now then little sword man what is it you wanted to gain from me bringin' yer here?"
The bounty hunter was busy looking around the ship determing how much it was worth and didn't hear the man.
The burly man grew frustrated and repeated himself even louder. Suddenly on a higher platform a man who had many scars on his face looked down at them. "what be all the racket about Jorge'!? Shut it!" The burly man was surprisingly obediant and this caught the bounty hunter's attention. The burly man motioned a hand towards him and spoke up. "Capn' this here is that bounty hunter, that wolf guy! He took out Michael and James, almost meself! He ordered me to bring 'im here at sword point!."
The bounty hunter yawned and scratched his head. It was right for the most part except for a few details.
The captain jumped down from balcony and walked over to the bounty hunter. "I know who he is you twit." He growled at Jorge. He turned to the bounty hunter with an irritated expression. "Your that Ookami's boy aren't ya?"
The bounty hunter looked up at the man at the mention of his father. "Yeah what of it?"
The captain smiled. "That man was a real pain in the side. Every pirate I've ever come across hates his guts and would pay a handsome price for his corpse." He grinned. "Shame he had to up at dissapear like he did, the coward. But I thinks I know hows to find him."
The bounty hunter looked at the man expressionless.
The captain nodded his head and soon the sound of many blades being drawn came from the deck of the ship. "Dear mr. Ookami, We got your son's throat in our hands, please come out to save his puny little life...." the sound of laughter filled the air, the bounty hunter sighed and slowly drew his sword from it's black sheathe, the ship would fetch some spare change.
A few minutes later.
The captain yelled angrily as he fell off the side of the ship and crashed into the water below. The bounty hunter re sheathed his sword and walked over the body littered deck. He set about picking up the corpses and tossing them into the water. Anyone who was still alive he rolled down the ramp onto the pier. The ship was his now, he had closed the deal with the captain secconds before his, "departure". The bounty hunter yawned as he took up a mom and began cleaning up blood, a dirty ship didn't sell for much. He placed all the discarded weapons into an empty barrel, they would earn enough to eat for a while.

"Ah shit...." He brought the palm of his hand against his forehead. He turned and walked quickly down the ramp onto the pier.He walked briskly, hoping noone had taken it by now. Soon he had arrived at the spot where had been fishing and to his relief his fishing pole was still there. With a sigh of relief he grabbed the pole and slung it over his shoulder. He turned to walk back to his ship. He was walking and humming a tune when suddenly a young man walked out of an alley and almost ran into him. Now the bounty hunter wasn't the type to get upset over something so petty, so instead he just regained his footing.
"Careful there." He said to the boy as he turned to continue walking.

"Hey, hey... I don't even know you yet..."
Derian's eyes shifted down as she inspected his wound and spoke, she obviously had heard his former comments. After some time, she took out a small bottle of something. Would Derian be able to move now, he might have backed away a bit. He had some bad experiences with annoyed women and strange smelling liquids. One of them actually had tried to poison him once, he barely escaped with his life. A short moment later, he felt that he really should have moved, at least that's what the pain at his wound was telling him. She carefully applied the liquid, but somehow it felt like it burned. It wasn't only that, he felt weaker than before, it was a strange feeling.
During this time, Ryu had started to speak of his plan. He would gladly go with Ryu to offer Kia the chance to look for a local clinic, but at the moment, he could barely stand. The companion of the young lady introduced himself to the others as Isamu. It seemed like he had suffered a cut on one of his hand, now that Derian looked over at him. After a while it seemed like the young doctor was satisfied with her work and turned to Ryu, stating that they won't need to find a clinic. Wouldn't it be from the strange feeling he had from the liquid, he surely would have felt much better. At least he stopped to loose any more blood. She introduced herself as Kaya, a doctor, obviously. As Ryu introduced himself to the newcomers, he was doing it his usual way. Suddenly they crew consisted of six people, without further discussion. A moment later he was gone again, making Derian sigh. He had encountered many sorts of strange captains, but Ryu was easily on the lead at this part. After some time he had regained enough strength to stand up against the wall of the building, resting his back and head against the hard wood.
"I am Derian, trader of sorts, marksman and apparently just became part of the crew a day ago. It's a pleasure to meet you, especially Miss Kaya. Thank you for taking care of that wound."
