Luro grinned at not remembering the captain's name but since she didn't seem upset about it he just laughed a little and waved it off. He decided not to admit that when Runali told Luro her name he was too busy staring at her eye-patch wondering how he'd look if he got one to catch most of what she was saying.
The days seem to pass by slowly to Luro but he was alright with that, having the others around was still entertaining even if he was just watching them. He always enjoyed seeing Ray play his violin and though he couldn't always keep up with his songs he tried at least and seeing Nolan trying to use a sword made him chuckle a few times. He was tempted to ask Danny to show him how to read a map but remembering his previous experiences with them he avoided it and offered her a drink instead along with some light conversation.
He spent a majority of the time messing with the guns as he always did, drinking rum and watching the sea which always calmed him, having the captain join him in doing so just made it all the more enjoyable especially when she fell asleep, Luro made a victorious fist as he accomplished his personal mission but returned to gazing at the sea immediately after not wanting to be caught staring.
He didn't pay that much attention to age but seeing the captain's sleeping face reminded him that she was pretty young, granted he considered it strange that of all things this reminded him of that fact, still some things showed on a sleeping face. He wasn't that old himself so he didn't see the point in thinking that much about it, to his knowledge Nolan was older than he was though one wouldn't think so while looking at him and if he remembered correctly Ray was older, in the end they were all pirates on the Coral Pearl and that was most important.

When they reached Utsukushi and the captain spoke to them Luro grinned and sat on the edge of the ship leaning over to see Utsukushi, the island looked wonderful and he was getting even more excited the closer they got to it. He had never been in a formal tournament before he couldn't wait to get signed up, and he was probably going to fight some mermen, he had heard plenty of rumors but being able to not only see but personally exchange blows with one made today a good day already.
Once Nolan put the bridge down Luro grinned and put his arm around the shoulders of his comrade and pointed towards the city.
"Whatever we want it's going to be so much fun!" Luro exclaimed before bringing a hand to his chin. "I've never been here before so I'm looking forward to it, especially the lasses, this is a tourist town so people from all over the world have be here right? Actually I should get to them before Ray does if they fall in love with him I won't have a chance, come on Nolan you can be my wing man since you already have a lady. I gotta sign up for the tournament too."
Luro grabbed Nolan's wrist and immediately ran into town laughing as he sped down the road in a random direction.
"I'll see you all later!" Luro exclaimed waving at everyone before fading into the distance with Nolan.
It wouldn't be until a few minutes later that Luro would realize that he has no idea where the tournament is.

Luro stopped in the middle of town bringing a hand to his chin as he let go of Nolan, just as he thought the place was filled with all manner of people but he couldn't find any mermen. He saw plenty of shops selling all kind of items and trinkets, he noticed one item in particular it was orange and had a strange oval shape to it, from what the man selling it seemed to be saying the strange item was a delicacy in a foreign land. Luro was a tad curious about it and started to question how to eat it when he saw the orange object move causing him to change his mind.
"Hmmm....I think I'm lost Nolan, we should find out where the tournament is being held first, I'll find a lass later I'll be sad if I can't participate."
Luro continued looking around for any sign or notice indicating where the tournament was being held, he was considering asking someone when he noticed a small child sitting on the ground between two buildings. He lowered his hand from his chin and stared at the child as she hugged her knees to her chest her eyes staring into the distance at nothing in particular, it didn't take much for him to realize this child was homeless.
Luro eyebrows narrowed a little at the sight, not necessarily because she didn't have a home most towns had at least one and Luro had grown accustomed to seeing them but because she was wearing a very fancy dress, granted it was covered in dirt and grime but it wasn't something a child could afford on their own, her long hair even looked made up though he could see traces of dirt in it as well.
"Nolan get ready to use your Nolan...ness," Luro said looking back at him.
Luro took a few steps forward toward the child, weaving through the crowed until he eventually reached her his shadow covering her entirely which drew the child's attention. The girl's eyes looked up and met Luro's before widening in fear for a moment as he noticed she was being stared at, seeing this Luro promptly knelt down on the ball of his feet to get on eye level with her before smiling at her.
"Hello there," Luro said. "My name is Luro Makachi, it's nice to meet you."
Luro made a motion with his hand for Nolan to come closer though he wasn't sure if he had already or not.
"Are you hungry?"
".....yes...."
The girl's voice was quiet and she still seemed defensive shrinking back a little as Luro tried to talk to her, he pat his person to see if he had anything to eat on him, at the very least it would help continue the conversation.
