this is going zto be long
Ok hear me out they both pull each other out of the water (metaphor for the darkness) and then they sorta stick together, a little pining but also a lot of pirate nonsense. this is before they start working together and how they met
Most of this changes what i said in the first hash out but what ever also I suck ss at spelling I font give a shit
So! Arahabaki is a very cruel deep sea god and the other sea gods don’t really like them so they curse him (gods have to team up to curse eachother rare but happens)
Curses arahabaki to ‘live on the surface in mortal form’
Being a tricky god Arahabaki finds a loop hole or two so they don’t lose all their godly powers.
Chuuya (10yrs old) is the mortal form that Arahabaki chooses (a little at random) as a young child.
The ‘entrance’ of Arahabaki just so happens to be in the middle of a navy fleet/port absolutely destroying everything and leads to an influx of pirates (especially younger).
The Sheep is a sailing vessel with a bunch of kids on it.
They find Chuuya in a port town and take him in. (11yrs old)
Chuuyas a natural, navigation and fighting come naturally to him and he sorta becomes their captain but not by choice. (17 yrs old).
Chuuya has managed to avoid falling into the water up until this point.
But during a navy altercation the ship get damaged enough that they have to jump in.
Arahabaki’s godly form is triggered when he is fully submerged
in this giant (300ft tall) form Chuuya knows he’s Chuuya and Arahabaki (at the same time) and after all these years Arahabaki has been like idk weakened so Chuuya has some control
Arahabaki’s voice sorta goads him on and makes him a little feral. (Chuuya has so little impulse control)
Arahabaki’s voice gets stronger when Chuuya is mad and right after shrinking back down
Anyways Dazai is on a navy ship (why? not sure)
sees Chuuya ruining ship after ship and although he’s immortal he really doesn’t like pain so he’s like shit gotta stop this raging god.
he tries to calm Chuuya down and succeeds, not sure how but it involves yelling.
Chuuya shrinks back down to normal chibi size and Dazai fishes him out of the water and takes care of him (Chuuyas not in great shape)
he sleeps for a few days and Dazai desapears after Chuuya wakes up leaving him in the hands of the navy.
The navy is not sure what to do with Chuuya so they (try) turn him into a reputable sailor
after about three yrs (20yrs old) Chuuya gets so fed up he blows up a navy vessel and returns to the life of a pirate.
He doesn’t settle on a ship because he doesn’t mix with others very well and after a close call with Arahabaki he decides to make port for a while. (22yrs old)
after only a few months in port Chuuya meets Dazai again.
lounging on the docks as the tide goes out
everything is fine until he hears gasping cussing and choking from under the peer.
He checks it out only to find Dazai Hog tied to the pyling.
Chuuya (very carefully keeping his body mostly out of the water) jumps in and cuts the ties and brings him up
He has been down there for a while Dazai says at least a week and Chuuya is like this guys fucking nuts should i toss him bback in.
He looks horrible and i mean like worse than a corpse. His pale and pruney and just kinda half eaten (literal bites outa the man) and
he just looks at Chuuya and coughs up so much water, and goes oh look it’s the shrimp.
Chuuyas all like we are the same age, i think(hes looking a little rough okay) and Dazai is all like no we are not.
Theeen he conks out muttering something about shipwrecks and how much better crabs are than shrimp.
Chuuyas just kinda sits there (his instinct to protect doesn’t let him leave)
the sun starts to set and Dazai wakes up and just whines about how he wishes he could die.
And Chuuyas like you should have you would have been down there at least since this morning. I told you shrimp it’s been at least a week.
He talks about how he’s immortal
Somehow they stick together (Dazai does recognize Chuuya)
I think Chuuya craves life on the waves
Sooner rather then later Chuuya places Dazai in his memory
They spend a couple years jumping from ship to ship until they finally just steal themselves one
They start a crew and pick people all over the place
Some members never leave and others cycle like dishwater
Possible other crew members (total 9)
