[After discovering how her journal might work in this thread, Maribelle wastes no time in trying an entry of her own.]

To all those capable of reading this message, I would like to announce that I fully intend to form a company of individuals who are sick of the lowborn filth and scum known as pirates. For too long have I witnessed the innocent have their livelihoods and lives threatened by these brigands, and now I have been shanghaied to work for one?! No I say! We must take a stand together as one, and defend this world from these hooligans at every turn!

There will never be peace in this world if we simply let pirate ransack, pillage, and steal from whoever they please. So I'm issuing a call to the masses, rally to me all of you who wish to see Justice. Rally to me those who are confused and live in fear of being squashed under the heel of this pirate menace. Rally to me all of ye people who wish to see a brighter tomorrow, for I shall not rest until we all can see it!

Captains Log
Day 1 of being Captain

Teleported to strange island. Green fountain is the only clue, flying the nearby area didn't help figure out location. If it's in the New World, it's not one of Whitebeard's islands.

Surrounded by noisy idiots who are no help.

Still miss Pops.

... So, is this some weird way to communicate with people...?

Hey, Riku, can you see this in your book?

[Oh, he's testing it out. Only one way to know, for sure.]





[OOC: And, this will be put into a thread, at some point...]

[Crocodile's handwriting is elegant, but bold. Obviously from a strong, well-practiced hand.]

I'm not sure which is more disappointing in your local shops. The ale, or the cigars. Do you honestly expect me to enjoy this worthless swill? Where's the real alcohol you people imbibe? Is this is the extent of your brewing skills? Absolutely atrocious.

[He takes a long, low drag of his cigar. A few scattered ashes appear on the page.]

Sub-par service aside, I've business to address. Like many others here, I find myself in need of capable crew and I've no wish to delay. I only accept true quality, in both personal vices and subordinates. If you truly wish to reap the spoils of this ocean, and are willing to bleed for them, then come find me. My height and scar are both rather hard to miss.

Do you know Tom Riddle? Do you know anything about the Chamber of Secrets?

[Hajime's voice is loud, exuberant and, honestly, pretty obnoxious.]

Hi, everyone!! I met a lot of you today, but to everyone I haven't met, I'm Hajime Ichinose and I was pulled here just like the rest of you by that giant grumpy ghost pirate guy! I wanna go out and find treasure like he told us to, but I don't know much about the ocean or sailing or treasure hunting. I am really good at interior decorating and papercraft, though, so if anyone has a ship that needs a makeover, you can totally call--well, write, I guess--me and let me know! Oh, and I'm a superhero, so I guess that's important to say too!

Let's all work together to find the treasure! I look forward to meeting more of you!

Hajime out!

[Kyouya takes great pains in writing the names out on the blank page in front of him as he sits awake. It's weird trying to sleep tonight, knowing he's surrounded by strangers and far from everyone and everything he knows.]

If any of you are here, please reply.

If anyone meets young men by those names, please let me know.

Thank you.

[He likes to think that if any of the others were here, he'd already know, but... He also hopes he's just missed them. That maybe his friends are here.]
