[OOC] One Piece: The Journey of a Thousand Miles

@Digizel@grandia20
At work and typing on my phone so apologies in advance if I don't make sense.
I agree with a group of pirates as the first antagonist. Maybe one whose after someone on the island, and is willing to do some extreme things to get them? I think somebody like the main villain in the original die hard movie

[grandia20]

@jynmi88 Hmm... What if they're after Abbygail? Maybe the marines hired them to capture her alive for some reason?

[Digizel]

@jynmi88 Yeah sure thing. I think that's probably the safest bet. Perhaps they're after a treasure that someone has been keeping hidden away? Maybe an older or Nami-like younger person?

@grandia20 Eh...I feel like that wouldn't make much sense. She was retired from the Marines. Like Bellemere in Arlong Park. Unless she'd done something big against them, I don't think they have a reason to track her down yet.

[grandia20]

@Digizel Good point.

[jynmi88]

@Digizelor maybe their pride wss hurt because someone beat them down and they're willing to do anything to get the person who hurt their pride?@grandia20

[grandia20]

@jynmi88 I like that idea!

[jynmi88]

@grandia20

@jynmi88 I like that idea!

@grandia20

Thanks.
so I was thinking that they'd probably be part of a bigger, more established pirate group, and so they their they're hot stuff
it would be their associations that might cause the other pirates in the area to back off even though the trouble makers themselves aren't all that strong

[grandia20]

@jynmi88 Sounds good to me! I can imagine Kyy coming out of a bar or something to see them starting trouble so he decides to take them on drunk or something XD

[Digizel]

@jynmi88 @grandia20

Okay okay...so that gave me an idea to add onto your good one. =3

Ryu arrives to the island from the ship that left the Grand Line. Perhaps the person that got beat was beaten by the crew of the ship that Ryu was riding on? Here's what I'm thinking:

Ryu is riding a boat...and the boat gets attacked on a routine supply run from a pirate crew...but the ship succeeds in defeating the pirates and continues on unharmed. The pirates, enraged at what happened, follow them and take a valuable passenger from their ship hostage (perhaps a close friend/lover of one of the higher-ups on the ship). Perhaps even somebody that treated Ryu rather well while on board. Ryu then steps in to assist and rescues the hostage...though she takes a serious wound somehow. Either shot or stabbed, it won't matter. At that point, the other crew members arrive in whatever way you'd like them to arrive. They fight back, beating the pirate crew again, while Ryu focuses his attention on saving the person that was injured.

What do you guys think of that one? It's just something that came to my mind as I was reading your posts. xD

[grandia20]

@Digizel Me likey!

@Digizel

Yeah, that works for me.

[Digizel]

@grandia20 @jynmi88

Cool, so I guess we've got that sorted. Now I suppose we just need to come up with the villain, the big-name pirate crew he works for, the person who beat him, as well as the person he takes hostage.

[jynmi88]

@Digizel
I think a df ability around cloning could be interesting for the villain to have.. It would give our characters lots of cannon fodder to go through.

[Digizel]

@jynmi88

Hm.... So, the Tajuu-Tajuu no Mi? That's the "Multi Multi Fruit." He could certainly brag about using this fruit to take down entire towns and crowds all by himself, that's for sure. xD I'm okay with that, honestly.

When the time comes, who should be controlling him? Probably not me since Ryu will be confronting him first and that might be a bit awkward. xD But...someone else is going to engage him completely, so probably not them either? xD

@Digizel

Yeah, maybe we could even do it so as he's the entire crew like he just dresses up the other members to look different, but really they're all just his clones in different outfits?

Mmmm it depends like if we're just doing run of the mills clones or one of his "elites". If we're doing run of the mills then I think it would be okay for us to fight him but if we're up against one of his elite clones or himself then one of the other ones will take control.

[grandia20]

@jynmi88@Digizel All I know is that I'm not very good at playing other people's villains. XD I'll do it if nobody else wants to but I'd prefer not to.

@grandia20

I think Digizel and myself can alternate on the villains, and you'll be second string.
If that's okay with Digizel lol

[grandia20]

@jynmi88 Okay. I don't mind playing villains of my creation. So I could play them for my arcs. :)

[Digizel]

Heh. I'm actually kinda the same way @grandia20. xD I tend to make my own villains when they become necessary.

For this character in specific, though...I suppose it should be whoever controls him can make his bio? His background and stuff isn't necessary to make right now of course, but.

So I guess the question is...who will control the main villain here? Like...I'm assuming the clone fodder is controlled by whoever is dealing with them since they're not important. But when it comes to the original pirate? Me or you, @jynmi88?

[grandia20]

Will this villain be like our Buggy? Lol
