(7/30/19)-Salt n' Bone: Chapter 1 Summary

The Primary Sea has had no shortage of conflict. Skirmishes beat the Shiogakure coast with cannon fire passing for war drums. Pirate ships, Water and Lightning patrols, and even merchant ships are no strangers to it. One of the more recent engagements involved the Wokou escaping Water Country patrols. A hard fought battle ended in a victory for The Atakebune Warship as it escorted The Culgoa into Sound waters.

The Culgoa’s black sail stalked the salty shores of Shiogakure with all the presence of a panther in the night. It ensnared the intrigue of the small town’s villagers until a small gathering turned into a pretty large crowd upon its docking. But bewilderment soon shifted to disdain once those aboard came rolling out. Wokou Pirates and their precious slave cargo, the latter to be sold to the deepest pocket.

After a small skirmish against some of the more fool hearty villagers, and agreement was reached with a local named Asami Kanajima. Though her family name isn’t well known, a few of the villagers around town have begun to believe she’s come from wealth based on her interaction with the slave owners. No doubt spurring mixed feelings among the populace.



-Stuff  that wont be in news paper-

 Sango and Hinami (Alias Asami), were the highlights of this event. Sango managing to secure a missing Ashe heir to drive the arc forward as planned, while Hinami provided an interaction I didn’t expect, insuring  further encounters with Captain Bumi and the Wokou.

Toned Boy and Setsuna were a bit too aggressive, but played their roles in the event. Hiroto jumped in and started a fight, while Setsuna antagonized the EC. Their actions weren’t bad, but they weren’t really good or helpful beyond unwittingly distracting for Sango.

 Hiroto served as Hinami’s voucher, using their medical expertise to fool the captain after Hinami’s instruction. The end resulted in three slaves staying with Hinami, four leaving with the crew, and the Ashe Hier in shiogakure’s medical care.


A few days later, The Ashe heir bursts from the clinic, claiming that a nurse intended to harm her. However, the nurse was the one cut while Farah wielded a scalpel. Mai pinned her down while other kids disarmed the girl. Mai's control over the situation kept it from dragging on, and the girl was returned to the hospital.

A check up from Alexie, seemingly reveals no harm to the girl. However, thats only because the nurse didn't get close enough before the girl ran away. With Alexie's diagnosis, the Nurse in charge of Farah appeared to be innocent when,, in actuality, she is someone secretly working for the Orin Group.
