[But he thinks that this man may be the close minded type. Or the type that forces himself to be close minded because if he isn't then everything he knows will be thrown upside down and destroyed leaving him with little that remains sure and true. It's not something Ikki likes, in fact he despises those things, but he understands where they come from.]
Yes, most probably they are. I'm sure that most of the pirates they are used to aren't searching for the gem just to get back home, neither visit islands to explore them. And having people appear out of no where... With the way this world seems to be I'm sure they consider it dark magic and thus something evil even without extra provocation on our part. Do I enjoy them being our enemies? No, I would prefer if they ignored us and just focused on the pirates of this world, for their own good. But things can't be that way, and if I've to fight them I won't hesitate, it's that simple. You can argue that we could avoid getting on their targets list, but I'm not going to allow something I don't agree with to happen just to keep my own skin clean.
[There's a pause as Smoker asks about "that name", only now he realizes that when he asked for a name again it probably was that one and not his own.]
I can tell you many things, but I'm not sure they correlate to whatever Poseidon means in your world. Anyway, Poseidon is a god in my world, one of the strongest ones. Together with his brothers Zeus and Hades, he stands at the top of the world, even above other deities. Zeus rules over the land, Poseidon over the sea and Hades rules the Underworld, the land where people's souls go when they die. In my world, Zeus left on a journey centuries ago and left his domains in charge of his daughter Athena, ever since Poseidon has often tried to claim control over the land and more recently tried to make a "spring laundry" with humanity as I mentioned before.
[His next words come in a lower tone as he remembers how the attack occurred. How it started and how long it took them to even realize what was going on.]
I don't remember the exact numbers but I'm sure that the victims were on the miles by the time we were able to counterattack, he caused an eternal heavy rain to fall over the land while the sea became ferocious and raised, devouring beaches and islands as if nothing. It could have been worse, had Athena not offered herself as a sacrifice and convinced Poseidon to drop an equal amount of water over her as the one he was dropping over the land, had he thrown it all on the land we would have faced what could be considered an end of the world.
I'm surprised you don't ask about Hades, though, since for me Poseidon and his brothers are names that are always easily tied together. Doesn't that name ring any bells for you? Unless you know him by another name, he was called Pluton in another culture, though that wasn't his real name.
