in a world full of merfolk and money-hungry men, mermaids and merman were considered rare and people always took that chance to try and capture one, why? for money, obviously.

the hashiras were nine merfolk siblings that lived underwater, every since they heard about hunters hunting merpeople, they were extra careful now.

Mitsuri: guys, guess what?

Shinobu: what is it, mitsuri?

Mitsuri: that human captain has a son! you know? the one that we saw a few months ago!

Sanemi: what? you went to the shore?

Mitsuri: yeah but that’s not the point, he has a son!

Shinobu: what does he look like?

Mitsuri: he’s tall, he looks about 16, he has black hair and dark eyes, i heard his name was genya!

Tengen: mitsuri, how does this concern us?

Sanemi: are you stupid? now that he has a son, it’s gonna be even more difficult to hide!

Mitsuri: i don’t understand why humans are so greedy.. i just wanna live my life as a mermaid!

Shinobu: we’ll never understand, because we’re not humans obviously.

Giyu: we should be even more careful now, that human kid could be dangerous.

Obanai: for all we know, he’s probably like his dad.

Sanemi: of course he is, humans are greedy and selfish.
