Summary: With Julius starting off his novel, he personally finds himself stuck with no idea on neither how to begin it or how exactly this "pirating" life goes. As such, when he goes to the harbors of Orange-Town and tries to hopefully get a start, he happens to meet a few interesting faces, along with finding himself head-first in a heap of trouble...

A woman with an Iron Mask, A group of Marines who overhear about a man trying to be a "Pirate", and a blank page that clearly needs to be filled. Exactly how will this unfold? And how the hell will he manage to get his foot in the door?

Having used his connections and knowledge, Karl learns that one of the famed 'Devil's Dozen' is rumored to be hidden on a nearby island. Eager to lay his hands on one of the dozen, Karl convinced Volo to come along. With Emilia currently out of commission, the pair seek out a charter to catch a ride to the island where one of the 'Dozen' should be. However, unbeknownst to them, they are not the only ones looking for something from that very island.

On their adventures, the duo from Red Wing Pirates had an unfortunate luck... They were not the only ones looking for something on the treasure island. The merry adventure turned into a conflict involving a group of goons hired by none other than the Moosebella himself.

Will Karl be able to secure one of the legendary Devil's Dozen or will his dreams be dashed along with his pride? Will Volo get everybody killed? Or will the goons hired by the infamous Big Boss Tundra stand triumphant?

Time Range: January 25, 1829 - January 27, 1829

Summary: Ickarus awakens from a nightmare that forced him to view the memory of the day his adoptive father died. Unable to fall back asleep, he ensured his ship, Candlelight, is set on the right path for Torino Kingdom. Upon landing on the jungle-filled island, Ickarus is chased by a Masukeredomo Goayu Bird, which he injures.

Harming one of these birds is a crime against the Torino Tribe, however, and Ickarus is put on trial. Before being sentenced to several years of servitude under the Torinos, a former navigator Torino, Nauplius Tiphys, intervenes. He takes Ickarus and the wounded Masukeredomo Goayu Bird to his home on the shore, where he teaches Ickarus in the culture of Torino Kingdom and provides a rudimentary understanding of Torino medicine to the pirate.

During this time, a pirate crew by the name of the Warbender Pirates arrive and declare they are going to take the treasure for which the island is nicknamed by force. After an hour of prep, battle breaks out, and Ickarus launches into a fight with the captain, Marse. During the battle, Ickarus is mortally wounded after being chased to the top of the tree in the center of the island. He is saved by the Masukeredomo Goayu Birds, led by the one Ickarus helped heal.

Following the personal loss but overall victory, Ickarus is surprised to find that Nauplius wants to join his crew as a navigator. Ickarus happily agrees, and the two set out for the next island.

Summary: In one of his earlier acts of terror, shortly after departing from his home island of Kano Kuni, Doji is swept up by the currents of the West Blue and finds himself arriving rather unceremoniously on Ilisia. Making landfall on a section of ostensibly abandoned beach, Doji is quickly wrapped up into the affairs of a camp of vagabonds who have been so terrorized by the corrupt 45th branch Marines that they have been forced to the very fringes of the island. However, the grasp of the local authorities is not so easy to escape, and when Doji arrives at the encampment so too do a number of Marines. A girl by the name of Iris Cosmo becomes the center of the Marines' harassment, and after her pleas for help fall on deaf or incapable ears, eventually she beseeches the oni to help her.

In classic fair, Doji murders all of the Marines troubling the vagabonds, only a single coward by the name of Tobias is able to escape and rely the horror of the scene to his superior officer. In speaking with Iris, the girl tells Doji that she was once the daughter of a local Marine household, and that her father was amongst the few "good cops" of the 45th branch; she believes that her dad was murdered by the corrupt Marines, and she wants Doji's help finding the proof of the matter.

Asking the red-haired oni to distract the guards while she searches her father's old office, Iris and Doji come to a somewhat large scouting party helmed by Jason Argent, Tobias' commanding officer. Jason sends the waves of his scouting party to attack Doji, and has cannons fire down on him from above. This proves the perfect distraction for Iris to infiltrate her father's former workplace and abscond with the necessary paperwork.

In Doji's conflict with the Marines, a photographer takes his picture, and his first bounty is issued. Jason Argent taunts Doji by saying that he will be a mindless and destructive monster just like his father.  Doji says that he never knew the guy and that he desires to be nothing like his father, however over the course of their interactions, Argent is able to spark doubt in Doji's conviction and the engagement is broken as both men flee from one another.

After finding the oversized oni dejected and questioning his own abilities, Iris does her best to cheer him up, telling him that he's done everything that she could have needed him to do. Afterwards, she finds him a safe place to sleep near the cemetery, where Doji's dreams are reinvigorated.

In the following months, Iris and her cohort compile a dossier regarding her father's death. Whether it will ever see the light of day remains a mystery.

Summary: Naoki ends up being employed as a hired sword once again. He temporarily joins the crew of Theodore, who wishes to trade with another crew (who later turn out to be smugglers/information brokers) on Warship Island- the Oni is unaware of the island’s reputation. When the two parties meet, a shot is fired at Theodore, though Naoki pushes his employer away in time. The captain thus suspects his trade partners and starts to murder them. Naoki joins in the bloodshed as part of the contract, quickly following the marksman. While doing this, he witnesses how a ship, belonging to the trade partners, is under attack. After running into the shooter, he proceeds to kill him, slowly getting suspicious that something is wrong, further undermined when running into other crewmen. Upon returning to Theodore, a second ship arrived, belonging to the captain’s brother, Theobald. As the Oni learns how the brothers are slave traders and they captured non-humans from the trade partner’s crew, Naoki turns against them, ultimately freeing the new prisoners and accompanying them into inhabited lands.

(Which I may give up because I'm just not vibing with in mannn...), Orion gets a tip that a nearby island in North Blue hosts a small clan of Giants who are talented weavers and use an incredible silk from the giant silk worms raised on the island.

The island is under attack. Pretentious nobles trying to paint a seascape want to remove the speck of rock from the ambience. Under the guise of eminent domain, the Noble has rounded up Marine forces to remove the Giants should they not go willingly.

Orion finds himself in a conflict when all he wanted was some damn Mittens. Nato's request are always bothersome...

[approve]While one episode can definitely connect to the next, each episode is still meant to be largely self-contained story. So, if you don't plan on making this a complete story and are planning on relying on completing it through multiple quests, then i suggest you simply wait until you can afford Social Distancing.

On a different note, I noticed this typo earlier too, but it's "eminent domain", not "imminent domain"; a common error.[/approve]
