Birka

For a ruined city Birka retained its advanced looks. You could really feel the emptiness and loneliness in the city. You could tell that no one had step foot in here for hundreds of years. That just added to the feeling of excitement for Hisoka.

The soil in the city was much, much softer than the soil on the surface of the moon. Whenever he took a step it was as if his foot was being sucked into the ground. The sensation actually felt quite nice. His toes felt tingly whenever it happened and his soles felt like it was being tickled.

The only source of light was the light that came from outside and entered the cave. Hisoka imagined lamps all around the city which created a beautiful glow in the cave. The city reminded him of Morocco's mud houses which had a certain artistic creativity.

The houses all had markings in the form of lines which had differing patterns. Some were straight lines while some were zig-zag shaped. There were X shapes which were placed next to the windows.

The houses, as Hisoka thought, were empty. The city was probably emptied as they migrated down to the sky islands.

The walls of the city had paintings depicting its history and culture. The story was simple. The moon doesn't have many natural resources that can last for long periods of time. The Civilization decided to leave and settle down on the one-piece world. However, they left their automata on the moon and they lay dormant for a thousand years.

Hisoka didn't want to awaken them just yet as he had no use for them. He just wanted to see the city and explore it.

There was a giant statue in the middle of the city. It was a warrior, who was probably a shandian due to the tribal markings, he held a spear in his hand and had his majestic white wings glimmered in the light. It was a great artistic feat, Hisoka was sure that Sigma would appreciate it. It had such fine attention to detail which impressed Hisoka.

There was an alter which had a cross at the top of it.

Hisoka knew that the sky races were very religious so he was curious at what kind of things they sacrificed. The alter itself was immaculate. It had gold that surrounded the linings of the walls which were covered with roses. They were probably artificial roses as they would have wilted by now. There was a statue which reminded Hisoka of the Virgin Mary. It had a golden halo

Hisoka continued his walk around the city just admiring the scenery.

"How many of there are you?" Sigma was facing down what seemed to be an army of animals.

There were countless bodies around him and his sword was bloodied. It seemed they weren't the only people on the moon.

It was annoying for Sigma since it was just person after person.

Sigma didn't even start this fight. He was walking when he saw a small city, of course, his curiosity got the better of him and he entered it. He was instantly attacked and there seemed to be more and more of them every second.

He was forcing his way through the city and trying to get to the centre where the "Headquarters" were. They spoke in a language he couldn't understand so communication was impossible.

He sliced one of the antrapamorphic animals and continued his advance.

Sigma knew that these things weren't the automata that Hisoka was talking about so he didn't hold back on them.

---------------------------

Hisoka was touching one of the automata. They felt so real, as if they had flesh and bone. They actually even bled. Hisoka made a small cut on one of them and blood actually came out. He was interested in how they did that that so he decided to deconstruct it

Hisoka used a screwdriver to unscrew the back of its head which opened the back of its head. A ton of wires were in the back of it's head. He tinkered around with a few of the wire which created a few sparks but nothing major. They all needed electricity to function so they couldn't be awoken through other means.

He wanted to keep one for himself to play around with and experiment. He took his trusty suit case and neatly put it inside.

He knew that Sigma was in trouble so he wanted to wrap up what he was doing here and get to him.

-----------------------

A certain ship was bobbing around in the water.

The people on the ship seemed to busy and were all either lounging around or cleaning the ship.

"Ah, we've been sailing for days and we haven't seen anything. I wish Garp or Sengoku would show up." A hat wearing man said.

"Be patient captain, we just came out of a battle with the marines. We should be taking this time to heal." A calmer voice emerged.

"Hey captain, I know something we can do."

"What is it spencer, I know I can trust you to be fun."

"If my navigation serves me right, then we're about a few days travel from Sozo island." Spencer said.

"Sozo island? Never heard of it."

"Well, It's a quite important island actually. The number 1 dealer in the underworld lives there. The informant, Takeuchi Hisoka. He'll probably entertain us for a while. If you want anything done he probably has a way to do it.

"That sounds like a lot of work spencer, what would we even do there. He hasn't provoked us so we don't have a reason to fight him."

"Come on vice captain, It's obvious. We'll do what he specialises in. Buy information. What do you think captain Roger?"

"Takeuchi Hisoka? He sells information does he? I want to ask him a few questions. Rayleigh set course for Sozo Island." Captain Roger said.

Yes. This ship was none other Gol. D. Rogers pirate ship the Oro Jackson
