Description

Dark Waves, Black Ships

Yasuke begins his quest to locate Duarte de Melo, a man from his past.

My Name is Yasuke

Yasuke gets closer in his goal to hunt down Duarte de Melo.

Dialogue

Dark Waves, Black Ships

Yasuke travels to the Trading Port in Obama.

• Yasuke: The port of Obama. There might be clues about Duarte here. I will hunt you down and remove your head from your shoulders, bastard.

In one of the buildings, Yasuke found a note on a table.

Signal Instructions

Samemaru,
Get your men to light the 3 signals around Obama's port and we will come ashore by the beach.
Do not light them unless you're ready, you know the consequences.
I am growing tired of waiting, so I expect them to be lit soon.

• Yasuke: Signals... The ships will look for a signal. I will look around.

Yasuke traveled to the nearby warhouses and eavesdropped on an elderly man talking to a woman.

• Elderly Man: They cannot take me. I am old, withered. I cannot work. Starving is better than living by their rules. I am too old, too weak. it is the young ones who must worry, not me. Not me.

Yasuke found one of the signal fire nearby.

• Yasuke: This must be one of the signals.

Yasuke lit the fire and went to light next the one, located on an islet in the middle of the port.

• Yasuke: One more to light. Then Duarte de Melo is mine.

Yasuke traveled to the last signal fire located the edge of a cliff in the outskirts of the city and lit it up.

• Yasuke: That was the last one. Now I find somewhere to wait.

Yasuke traveled to the small island north of the bay to wait. After some time, he spotted the arrival of Portuguese boats at the meeting point.

• Yasuke: They come. I have you now, Duarte.

My Name is Yasuke

Yasuke got down from his vantage point and approached the Portuguese envoy on the beach.

• Yasuke: That coward is not here. I must find his ship.

Yasuke sneaked into the bushes and eavesdropped on two Portuguese soldiers.

• Portuguese Shooter 1: Look, look! Captain is on the shore, probably talking about the missing shipments.
• Portuguese Shooter 2: Some idiota lit the signals! Hah!
• Portuguese Shooter 1: Bet the captain will have to report back to Senhor Duarte now.

Yasuke attacked the Portuguese soldiers.

• Portuguese Swordsman: Intruder! Kill them before senhor finds out!

The samurai eliminated the soldiers and looted a letter from one of the bodies detailing Duarte's orders.

• Yasuke: Duarte's ship... there is a boatman who can take me to him.

Yasuke went down the road and found the boatman along with two Portuguese guards.

• Portuguese Shooter 3: What? Senhor Duarte is not here?
• Portuguese Shooter 4: Idiota! Do you think he would risk coming so close to shore? You know what happens on his ship, eh? He did this when we moored in the islands to the south. Senhor is a careful man. Cruel, but careful.

Yasuke eliminated the two guards, sparing the boatman.

• Man: Please don't hurt me! Mercy! I have a family to feed!

Yasuke confronted him.

• Yasuke: You! Where is Duarte de Melo? Tell me!
• Man: (gasps) Who are you?
• Yasuke: A monster he helped make. Duarte. Now.

The boatman was forced to take Yasuke to Duarte's ship out in the sea. Onboard, Duarte is torturing one of the slaves who was bounded up.

• Duarte de Melo: What did I say about crying?

Duarte placed his knife near the slave's neck.

• Duarte de Melo: I hate crying.

The slaver proceeded to slash the slave's neck, killing him. Yasuke arrived too late to stop him.

• Yasuke: Stop!

Duarte stood up and turned around to find Yasuke behind him.

• Duarte de Melo: You interrupted play time.
• Yasuke: You remember me.
• Duarte de Melo: I remember your face. I never forget a face... and all the things one can do to it..
• Yasuke: Where is Nuno Caro?
• Duarte de Melo: Even you can make allies, it seems. I received word about my ventures. Foiled by a shinobi. To think they would ally themselves with one of your kind.
• Yasuke: You will speak no more. Not of me, not of my allies.
• Duarte de Melo: Have you come to kill me?
• Yasuke: You remember my face, but today you will remember my name.

Yasuke drew his katana.

• Yasuke: I will make you feel the pain of those you have touched. (roars)

Yasuke begins his fight against Duarte, who wielded a pistol in one hand and a sword in another.

• Duarte de Melo: (grunts) You're trying to kill me? (grunts) (grunts) Curse the idiota who put that weapon in your hands!

Yasuke dealt heavy blows on Duarte.

• Duarte de Melo: (grunts) Such fire, (grunts) such anger! (laughs)

Ultimately, Yasuke overpowered Duarte, pinning him against the railing and holding his sword by his neck.

• Duarte de Melo: (grunts) How does it feel?
• Yasuke: Shut your damned mouth.
• Duarte de Melo: Revenge is dull. Just like death.
• Yasuke: Where is your master? Where is Nuno Caro?
• Duarte de Melo: Who wants to know?
• Yasuke: Where. Is. Nuno. Caro.
• Duarte de Melo: You are no one. A sad, nameless nothing who thinks they stand for something.

An angered Yasuke took his hands off Duarte and turned around.

• Duarte de Melo: You are simple, boring, predictable, dull. Just. Like. Her. (laughs)
• Yasuke: (breathes)

Duarte's words sparked a memory in Yasuke's mind, reminding him of his past.

• Yasuke: (breathes)
• Duarte de Melo: Filfth like you does not deserve a name. (spits)

Duarte secretly took out a knife from his pocket.

• Duarte de Melo: (laughs)
• Yasuke: My name is Yasuke. (grunts)

Before Duarte could strike, Yasuke took his sword and swung it towards Duarte's neck, killing him.

• Yasuke: (spits)

On his body, Duarte looted a note and promptly departed, with the boatman from earlier taking him back to the port of Obama.

• Yasuke: Go. There is nothing left for you here.

As the boatman left, Yasuke inspected the note engraved with a symbol on it.

• Yasuke: A symbol. Templars... what is that? I cannot make sense of this. But I know who can help.

Outcome

Dark Waves, Black Ships

Yasuke lit the signal fires and succeeded in luring Duarte's envoy to Wakasa.

My Name is Yasuke

Yasuke eliminated Duarte de Melo, and looted a note his body with symbols that pointed to an entity called "the Templars".
