Thanks to his ingenious mind, Barney found a way. Well, it was actually comically stupid. He spent half a day, thinking about ways to make some automatic shuriken throwing machine, type 3000 pro, when in fact all he had to do was throw one shuriken and try to hit it with the other. And so he did, as dumb as he was. With a blindfold on his eyes, he would grab two shuriken and throw one as far and high as he could. He would focus on the sound it made while spinning and focus on its trajectory. He would carefully follow it using his hearing and then he would determine the best moment to throw the other one in order to intercept and clash them together. A lovely metallic sound would be heard every time he managed to hit them. This proved to be a great practice routine, extremely sharpening his hearing and improving his throwing and accuracy. Well, what now? He was hungry, tired, stinky. He needed a hot bath, some sake and some ramen. That would make his day perfect. But where would he find that for free? He desperately needed some money. Unsure about where or how to get it, he made his way back into the town. Wandering through the streets he was looking if anyone was offering a job of washing dishes, when he stumbled upon a large noticeboard with all kinds of ads on it. People were offering all kinds of money for all kinds of tasks they had. One in particular stood out to Barney. It read:
Seeking help on the sea
Offering great pay for protection
Dock 8
Offering great pay for protection
Dock 8
The add was quite mysterious as it didn't mention against what, which intrigued Barney. The very setting was quite appealing because it was on the sea. Just thinking of it, Barney could smell the salt and feel the sun burning his scalp. That was it. He had to find out more about the add so he went to dock 8. There he found a small fishing boat with a small crew. Hey, I saw the add about seeking help on the sea. I'm interested but I was wondering if you had more information? Young man, how exactly do you think you can protect us? The oldest guy said. He was old, very old. You didn't even give me a chance and you're already judging me? If you don't want help, then stop wasting people's time and remove your add from the noticeboard. Barney was furious Hey man, sorry about that. Don't mind the old guy. He thinks he's the smartest person alive when in fact his brainwaves aren't functioning properly. They only work when the waves of the sea negate his own, hahaha. Are you still up for it? I'll explain the details as soon as we board, we gotta hurry. Barney wasn't even sure anymore. The old guy seemed to be the captain, leader of the crew and the nice guy was probably his son. Fishing was generally a family business. The others seemed to be decent enough to spend some time with. He decided he was in. Alright, I need the adventure, but under one condition. I need to eat something first, I'm starving. You got it. Barney helped them board the boat and they pushed off the dock towards Gaikotsu Bay.
