Now the crew actually being assembled after the incident not so long ago, they have been relaxing in there very large ship. The ship being comparable to one of the small islands that floated in the Grand Line due to its size. It contained many rooms, a nicely built kitchen, and all the other shit the ordinary ship held.

Zero Stone, the man famed for being the captain of one of the most dangerous crews that ever existed, Spiral Arrow. There he sat on the precious deck in a cross-legged fashion. All alone while the others sat. He knew that he was all alone on the ship, no one to converse with.

Or at least that was what he thought he knew. Standing atop the mast of the ship was a figure focusing entirely on her sense of balance. Balance was key in battle. If you were off balance then it was almost guaranteed you had lost. Besides, what greater point to see the word then from such a high vantage point?

In each of her hands was one of her swords. In her left she held Agony, the sword drawn from the seastone pedestal, and in her right she held Yubashiri the spoils of victory after defeating the first demon of Santoryu.

She stood calmly, silently. Her breath was near inaudible. Her scarlet hair flowed behind her blown about by the powerful winds. Yet she remained focused and balanced. Slowly she moved from one of the stances of santoryu to another. Though technically as she only wielded two swords currently she was using Nitoryu.

After a while she seemed satisfied with her stances and sheathed Yubashiri at her waist and Agony at her back. With a quick backflip she began to fall towards the ground. With a swift motion she grabbed hold of one of the ropes that held the sail's in place and swung onto another. Through this process she eventually reached the ground where she landed with a loud thud behind the Captain.

"Afternoon Captain." she said with a grin.

[ZERO STONE]

His thoughts proven wrong by the fact that one of his mate's along the ship was still here, and by the loud thud, he didn't even need to look back to check who it was. Catherine West, a partner-in crime when it came to the dangerous acts they occasionally committed. She was also one of the strongest upon the ship. When it came to strength, she outclassed most on the crew.

Getting up, he turned to face Catherine, usually seen with a variety of weapons at all times, now she had two blades at her waist held within there scabbards. He held his own blade at the waist, held by his red sash. A bottle of sake at hand, his wide smile upon his visage. Clearly this was one of the day's the Captain decided to have fun, drink, sleep, and smoke a pipe. The others usually had other things to do on the ship besides stay around, wandering the town for necessities.

"Why not have a drink Catherine, it seems like your always training, take a break!"

She considered his point. She was often training, but with good reason. Whilst some of the crew were strong she, mostly due to her devil fruit, was considered one of the more dangerous members. The only one who could possibly be considered more dangerous, and this was close, was probably the first mate. Zero Stone was a great leader and was in himself strong, but as far as she was aware he had no devil fruit powers or haki. He was just a strong martial artist.

"In order to make our crew the most feared, even by the yonkou, it is necessary to become strong." she said with a shrug sitting down opposite the captain, placing her swords by her side. "If we can all raise our bounties we can become more feared and more respected. That is why I seek to master santoryu." With those words though she took off the large sack she always carried and rummaged about inside it before coming up with a bottle of sake, much like her captains. She always had sake with her because she liked cooking sushi and sake went well with most sushi dishes.

"Here's to the future where all of us are strong enough to be worthy of the title 'yonkou' " she said raising the bottle. A crew with every member having a bounty that high would be insane.

[ZERO STONE]

Respect and fear were certain desires that people occupied to gain, especially those that were training. It all came with reasoning behind the true objective, but the captain lacked one. He only continued along the journey searching for bits of his past, treasure were just other things he casted as hobbies.

Although in his crew the measure of power, was actually quite unreal. Each one had potential to grow stronger, but yet concealed many things about each other, such as the Flawless Cloud himself. Many just assumed he was nothing more then a mere martial artist, but if they actually found out about the few things he had recently consumed, giving him new abilities. Things he hid from the crew, as he was still curious of them.

It looked as if the crimson haired cook had her own alcholic drink, and her training involving the legendary art of Santoryu, one that seemed to fade back during the old ages. The Fighting Prodigy had little knowledge of it and of course witnessed its deadly ability before, but were incomparable to his proficiency in his tonfa's, or his arrogance thought so. Raising his own bottle, with a smirk upon his visage.

"Yonkou, aiming for something high eh? Why not just aim for world domination?"

"There are too many areas for one crew to keep an eye on for them to rule the entire world especially one as small as ours." she said after a few minutes of silent thought. She took a long draught of her sake and then continued. "What would be best would be for each member of a main crew, such as us, to become strong enough to rule over several other captains. That way we can have crews in different areas keeping them all dominated. That's if your plan is world domination of course."

Catherine's plan was not world domination. The thought of one person or even a group ruling over the world by force didn't really suit her frame of mind. It could work if the people were allowed their freedoms, but most dictators were DICKtators trying the whole you will do what I say because I am stronger then you. That was silly. If someone was smarter then you then perhaps as they would likely be able to rule wisely, but not because they were stronger. Even in the crew it was clear that strength wasn't anything. In terms of sheer strength, mostly due to her devil fruit, she beat them all and almost all of them if not all of them she also beat in terms of skill. Yet she was not a ranking member. She was just the cook. She had no desire to rule, she did not think she was fit to rule anything except a kitchen. Zero Stone was a good leader.

"Me I just want to fulfill my dreams of becoming the greatest chef there has even been and make the world happy with my delicious cooking." she said with a shrug. That was her dream. A goal that was evident in the name of all of her non-santoryu techniques. "I don't care how I get there, if I have to take over the world to get my hands on all the best ingredients then so be it."
