Travis woke up a few days later.
For some reason, feeling watched.

"If you're here to assassinate me, or seek aid of me come forward and speak, It matters not which." He declared.

----------------------
Meanwhile it was hidden room time.
----------------------
At the same time another Travis was in the Isekai room begining a ritual to summon a girl skilled in cooking noodles... Giving her the power to produce and manipulate the best damn spaghetti he ever tasted.
Using the ritual to summon Ayame from Naruto after her death, and imbluing her with a powerful Mastery of Spaghetti action allowing her to conjure cooked noodles, and thich meaty sauce and use them in battle if need be.

Glancing around the room, Travis soon noticed that one of the mirrors did not actually show his reflection, but an old man with silvery white shoulder-length hair in a half purple, half red suit.
"Aye, it matters not. Few things do. And the things that do don't really, now do they?" he asked as he stepped out of the mirror and into the room. "Now, what if I be here for neither of those, me lad? Assassination be boring and I don't be needin' much help. Yet comin' forward and speaking I do still!"
The hidden room's door opened to reveal a sword stuck in a stone.
He manifested the girl by his side, who seemed a bit confused and at a loss. "...Wha- ...where... who are you?" she stammered.

"Ah Uncle Sheogorath." He said in a semi-joking sarcastic manner. "Always good to have you visit, to what do I owe the pleasure this time?" He said trying not to brown nose, but also not to offend either. No need to push the Prince of Madness into something dangerous.

He picked up the sword and tried to pull it out without breaking it.
12 stones in str to try and get the sword out.
----------------------------
"I am Travis Howlet... I am a divine being with a series of magic relics and I decided to bring you back here after you died in order to be one of my maids." He said warmly.

"Awww, is it?! Ye're warming me heart! So much so I COULD RIP IT OUT AND BURN ME HAND! Which'd be bad cause I kinda need it to cook and kill and scratch me nose. But enough about me. Or more about me? NO! That's not what I'm here for. I'm here to tell me, no, tell you, about some HAPPY SLAVERS! Sailing the seven seas illegally like pirates and attacking people on other ships. Which I guess actually makes them pirates. And they be happy. Happy because they just got a big haul. A HUGE haul. Too huge a haul, if you ask me!" he let out, chuckling as he looked back at the mirror, waving his hand.
On the mirror, Travis could see a set of coordinates.
"...Look me lad. I'm ALL in favor of chaos and unnecessary violence and screams and cheese, but that, right there, is too much a haul for such a bunch of worthless little sh*ts like'em. I WILL NOT CONDONE THIS! Or maybe I WILL! OR I WON'T! That's not for you to know! Or maybe it is. ANYWAY! Get there, or don't, and do something about it or not! I don't care. But if you do, there'll be goodies! And cheese. And good cheese. But mostly goodies. BUT THAT'S ENOUGH! You're talking way too much! BYE."
And he vanished into a burst of soap bubbles.
The sword came out with ease; a double-edged broadsword of excellent craftsmanship with a golden hilt and silver blade.
"A... divine being? But... why me of all people? I'm just some girl", she said, blushing a little.

He smiled. "On it." He said teleporting to the ship in question.
10 sup-eff in TP to go to the ship.
---------------------
He began to appraise the sword.
10 sup-eff in concentration to appraise it.
---------------------
"It's a favor for my wife Naruko." He explained. "Which is naturally why I gave you dominion over Spaghetti instead of Ramen." He chuckled evily.

He arrived on a large surprisingly high tech ship with what appears to be fairly solid weaponry. And he was immediately detected by a handful of men armed with various semi-automatic and automatic firearms.
"HEY! DON'T MOVE!" one of them yelled as they aimed at him.
He soon identifies the sword as the legendary Masamune, sword of the Hero of the Kingdom of Guardia, crafted out of a long extinct material known as Dreamstone by the Guru of Life, Melchior. It is a holy blade meant to destroy evil and wield formidable power to one who wields the courage and power of a hero.
Gained:
-The Masamune (+8, 2x damage, 3x damage VS Undead/Demonic/Evil foes, AP (Ignores 3 Toughness even when No AP), Near-Indestructible sword. Exclusive, in the sense that it may only be wielded in combat by one whom qualifies as a 'hero', at GM's discretion. Once equipped, the user has access to the Skill Point System used with the Sword based on its Weapon modifier, granting 5 Skill Points and recovering 3 every panel. The legendary sword of the hero once known as Frog/Glenn, crafted out of Dreamstone by the Guru of Life, Melchior.)
"That... latter part doesn't sound like a favor?" she pondered. "...But I'd be happy to meet her."

"Okay." He said not moving.
as his shadow manifested into dozens of tendrils impaling each pirate.
142 stones eff into Umbrakinesis spllit evenly between all the pirates to take them all out. Using Morph to try and get some extra loot and give them a chance to survive.
------------------------------
"Nice." He said leaving the room, only to try and open it again.
-------------------------
"Excellent." He said calling Naruko to his side. "She look familiar to you?"

He easily killed them with his shadow, dropping wads of cash, additional ammo and their weapons , along with kevlar. For now, the ship was silent, but he knew there had to be more of them below deck.
This time, the door refused to budge a second time.
Naruko joined them in the room, as Ayame's eyes widened in surprise. "...Naruko is... Naruto-kun?" she stammered.

He smiled and attempted to summon a trio of Devils to aid in clearing out the ship.
1 in PL for extra action.
1 in GoB to store away all the stuff in the gate.
7 stones in Mastery of Magic to draw a summoning circle on the ground.
15 stones in Devil Summoning to call forth the 3 AN 5 Devils.
-----------------------------
"Oh so your Naruko was a guy. That makes sense." He said. "Naruko, this is Ayame. She can cook your ramen, but her power and dominion is over spaghetti." He compromised.

Out of his circle manifested the three demons in question...
...a fully bones winged humanoid with fangs, wooden antlers, claws and a bone tail, screeching in an inhuman voice...
...a fiery hound engulfed in black smoke with glowing yellow eyes, which Travis recognized as an Hellhound...
...and a grey-skinned woman with red eyes, white hair and small, pointy horns poking out of her hair on her forehead, clad in a black dress and heels.
Of the three, while they all looked at him, only the woman spoke.
"Hm. I sense... immeasurable power within you", she noted very matter-of-factly.
"He... was, yes", she confirmed, nodding.
"Hm. Okay, well... that works", Naruko said, apparently deeming it an acceptable "deal". "Nice to meet'cha, Ayame-san! Let's be good friends!♥"
"Sure. Let's. I'm looking forward to working with you", she said with a smile.

"Yes... I have come to barter with you to be summons of mine. I offer you this ship, and the lives of all the remaining pirates on it... all I ask is the right to keep the treasure for myself." He offered.
9 in social skills to negotiate.
--------------------
"Excellent... Now set her down dear." Travis said unleashing the legendary massage.
8 sup-eff in PM to induct her.

The three creatures glanced at each other, the Hellhound howling while the bone creature merely let out a loud guttural hiss. "...Your terms are acceptable", the woman said. "We shall fight for you when you call upon us, Lord of Terror. I am Haysheen, demon of rage. The bone demon is known as Ulryauth. And the hound over there is Styke."
"Roger that", Naruko set, getting the girl down as requested, allowing Travis to basically daze her with bliss.

"Excellent. Then go down and claim your bounty." He said casually strolling below deck.
-----------------------
"Okay, tuck her in one of the guest rooms for a little while." he ordered.

The trio made their way down into the ship along with him. Styke was fairly straightforward as a demon; it mostly charged forward, biting and burning its victims with hellfire; occasionally killing one with a Darkness spell snuffing the life out of them.
Ulryauth seemed quite a bit versatile. Not only was it fast as a snake, agile and displayed supernatural reflexes, it seemed not only capable of controlling his own bones... but those of his foes as well, and more than a few pirates died from 'sudden catastrophic vanishing skeleton syndrome', leaving them little more than a mass of flesh, skin and clothes on the ground.
Finally, Haysheen... simply sat down calmly in a chair, and used her power. Which caused the remaining pirates to begin furiously fighting and killing each other over the stupidest, insignificant and often imagined slights.
"Sure. I'll take care of her", Naruko said simply, picking her up in her arms and heading over to such a room.
