Meh, fine. You didn't want him anyway. Smoboss probably wouldn't let you keep such a big pet on boa- wait, no. You mean... keeping humans is wrong. Yes.

You delicately dump your unconscious burden in Fireplace's arms, like a sack of bricks. "Remember to feed and walk him regularly."

Abs blinks at you. "Wh-what?"

"Ha ha. I'm kidding. Ha ha." You take a quick step back, trying to look innocent. "Soooo, we done here?"

"I... think we covered everything," Fake-Usopp allows, looking around your group like you've each grown two heads. "Was there anything else?"

"No," Mibird says, shortly. "We'll be leaving now."

"Thanks for, uh, stuff," Klaus mumbles, before nudging you back towards the exit, the rest of the group moving with you. "Reeeeally, Prettyboy? You couldn't go ten minutes without pulling some shit?"

Fortunately Smoboss has moved past his usual angry freak-outs into a weird zen state of 'Oh look, the dumbass brat has done something dumbass again. C'est la vie'.

>klaus has not yet accepted the bullshit

You roll your eyes like miniature bowling balls that are stuck inside your skull. "Have you MET me?! Besides, I found Fireplace's not-dead brother! It was a good deed!" Attempting your saddest puppy-face look, you stare mournfulmy up at Klaus, who glares back down, unimpressed. "Well.. Abs appreciates me! ... Right, Abs? ....... Right?"

Fireplace spares you a brief glance from his reverent focus on Mr Stealthy. "Oh? Yeah. Sure."

"... Did you even hear what I said?"

"......... No?"

Meh. "Too late, no take-backs!"

Your group of perfectly normal not-lunatics strides back out into Water 7 proper, as you try to figure out your next stop. "Okay... I need disposable weaponry... a few of us need clothes... Abs needs a pet shop..."

"Huh?"

"Never mind," you quickly say, pushing away thoughts of buying Mr Stealthy a chew-toy. "Actually, maybe we DO need a pet shop for Gol D Rodent?"

Klaus considers. "Do pet shops sell pet-sized swords?"

"....... I would normally say no, but we're on the Grand Line and this is apparently bullshit day, so maybe."

"Right! In that case, so long losers, I'm going to ditch your insanity and make my rat buddy happy," Klaus announces, looking relieved at this escape from your crazy. "Let's meet up later... Prettyboy, want me to grab those cheap-ass swords for you?"

>Yes.
>No.
>Other?

"In that case, I believe we don't have much to do while waiting for your... camera," Mibird muses, before casting his freaky gaze over Abs and Mr Stealthy. "Firefist, I take it you want to bring him with us?"

Fireplace nods immediately. "I mean, it's Ennies Lobby, but... with us there, it's fine, right?"

"Probably." He sounds like he doesn't really care. Man, Mibird really loses interest quickly.

>Split up from Mibird and Abs, go get your clothes.

As Klaus happily vanishes off with Rodent (who receives a blandly curious look from Mibird), you set your hands on hips and announce, "C L O T H E S."

You're not sure how you did that with your voice, but it was kinda impressive.

Mibird sighs. "Very well."

Abs shakes his head. "I need to get Sabo to-"

"Yeah, nah, he'll wake up on his own time," you admonish. "Seriously, just bring him along. We can hear your dramatic tale of familial love and loss later. Take a breather! Relax!"

Mibird and Abs stare at you like you said something weird, but finally Abs sigh. "I guess it wouldn't be good to force him awake."

"Exactly!" You nod, proud of your brilliant arguments. "Now, Mibird - use your sartorial expertise to guide me towards the domains of clothing excellence!"

"Excellence?" He raises an eyebrow
"On YOUR budget? Really?"

"... Rude."

All right, boys, girls and small spiders of indeterminate but scuttling gender, here comes the CLOTHES VOTE

There were some possible pictures posted in the previous (main) thread that you might want to consider, but feel free to post aaaaany kind of outfit you want. You can combine it with cloaks/masks/whatever, as well.

It would be helpful to use as a disguise for a new identity in Ennies Lobby if you want, or you can just put it on straight away and wear it normally. Your regular white uniform will be fine once it's been washed and had some basic repairs done, so it hasn't been lost.

It's a story that doesn't really have an economic mechanic and the reason for why we can have both doesn't really matter, it's just a costume

>FUCK IT WHO CARES ABOUT RULES ANYWAY

"Onwards! To the clothes!" You point dramatically in the direction of the shopping district.

Mibird just stares at you blandly; Abs raises an eyebrow, shifting Mr Stealthy. "You're way too into this."

"I've got one outfit right now," you inform him primly, "which might be fine for you, Mr I Like Showing My Skin As Much As Possible, but I need options. Plus your not-dead brother's reminded me that top hats are cool."

The debate regarding the sheer awesomeness of top hats rages on as your group heads down to the shops, also covering the issues of What Coats Are Best and Is Wearing Pink Manly (yes, obviously).

Fireplace keeps checking on his brother, like the guy's gonna turn to dust and blow away if he keeps his eyes off him for ten seconds, but despite his earlier panic, he seems weirdly happier now. Ecstatic, even. Good luck to 'em, you guess. He's still enough of a dick to innocently suggest the most godawful outfits for you, though.

Then, as the other two men (plus their magnificently-haired cargo) amble off to look at stupidly ostentatious belts, you see it.

Your goddamn Pirate Arthur costume.

The same jacket. Same pants. Same hat. They must be from the same tailor, because it's the exact same thing, you're sure - and even if you can't wear that while you're a Marine, it doesn't matter.

You NEED it.

Casting a furtive glance around, you grab the items and hurry off to the payment counter, filled with NOSTALGIA and GLEE and PIRACY.

It's after you're finishing up, new clothes carefully hidden away in a bag, that you manage to track down Abs and Mibird lurking outside the shop, having apprently made some purchases of their own elsewhere.

"You need to carry them, because I've got Sabo," Abs casually informs you, nudging his bags over to you.

You scowl. "Why can't Mibird carry-"

Mibird looms.

"... Never mind." Assholes. "So, uh, anything else to do while my camera's getting fixed?"

"I'm probably gonna sit Sabo down somewhere and see if he wakes up before.we leave," Fireplace decides. Considering the odd looks he's been getting for lugging the guy around, you can understand. Plus, dude's probably heavy.

"I might as well visit the local swordsmanship school," Mibird says, flicking dust off his sleeve. "They're apparently quite good." He says it dubiously.

"You do your thing with Mr Stealthy," you tell Abs, with a cheerful voice and a quick finger-gun. "I'm gonna go check out a bookstore."

"Yeah, cool, I'll just wander around around carrying an unconscious guy," says Fireplace, who sounds surprisingly unthrilled by that. Honestly, seems kinda fun to you, but whatever. "I'll rent a room or something, and we'll meet somewhere later, I guess?"

"We probably should have planned this better," you agree, while Mr Stealthy gives a quiet mumble in his peaceful unconsciousness. "Well, if I hear any explosions or see any fires, I'll assume it's you and come running."

"Same back at'cha," Fireplace assures you, which is insulting in its accuracy.

You sulk off to the best bookstore you're directed to, which is three storeys tall and, shockingly, full of books. Paper ones. With words.

The bookstore is open, bright and spacious, which isnl everything a bookshop shouldn't be. At least it has books though, but rather than spending three hours hunting down a particular one among the shelves, you accost a staff member (who looks stoned) and get them to 'help'.

Your search for a book on electricity goes surprisingly well, thanks to 'Electricity For Imbeciles', written for laymen by someone who actually knows what they're talking about.

The nervous system is harder to research - you scrounge up a thin book on the basics, for medical students who want a general overview, but it's nothing spectacular. Apparently the local med students get their textbook elsewhere.

Your hopes on becoming less of an asshole dashed when the staff member completely misunderstands what you want and ends up ringing you up for 'How to Fake Friendships and Manipulate People', and a book on how to lie effectively.

You guess they... Might come in handy?

Results of electricity: Team Rocket blasts off again.

>76, not too shibby-shabby, my little Marinerd

Availing yourself of the provided facilities (aka throwing yourself down in an armchair), you open the book on electricity and start trying to nerd yourself up.

As much as you love paperwork (mmm, paperwork~), you've always learns more by doing than reading, so forcing a book into your brain is hard. Unless it's a regulations book. Those have always fascinated you.

Thankfully, Professor Raiku understands that his readers may include people who HAVE to learn rather than WANT to learn this stuff, and dumbs it down to a level that even you, an orphanage-educated ditz can mostly understand. There are even diagrams! Exciting!

You don't complete the whole thing, naturally, but it gives you some better ideas about how your powers work, and what you might need to try out. You think you figured out how your hyper-speed cannonball bullshit happened too, so it's nice to know that's real science and not just Devil Fruit nonsense.

(Read one third of the electricity book! GGnM: Science skill boosted from D.55 to C.1!)

After a good hour of reading, you mark the chapter end and try to rest your brain. Probably a couple more hours before you meet up and leave for Ennies Lobby... what to do now?

You realise that the special (non-canon) salt is only once the Aqua Laguna has passed?

>find fire-bro and magnificent-hair-bro

With your brain gasping for oxygen, you can't deal with any more studying, which means only one thing to be done: hunt down someone you know and annoy them.

Sorry, see how they are. Right. Yes.

Aaaaanyway, since you reunited two long-lost brothers, this officially makes you a HERO, and that means you're obliged to go and take credit for it if Mr Stealthy has woken up. The only problem is that... You kinda have no idea where they actually went.

Hmmmm.

It's time.

To irresponsibly set off a firearm in a crowded locale.

.... Maybe you should go somewhere more private first? Yeah, probably; laden down with books and your new Arthur outfit, you head off down a spacious but empty alley (everywhere's so clean! If you live long enough, maybe you should retire here), and draw your cute companion of JUSTICE, who gleams at you in a dramatic and detective-y manner.

"Track down Abs and his Top-Hat Brother, Detective," you tell them, raising their barrel to a direction that probably won't kill anyone, maybe, hopefully.

Then you throw them in the air like you just don't care.

BANG

"Targets acquired!" You cheer, grabbing the gun off the ground and fist-pumping as you head off towards what's undoubtedly the right direction.

Detective Pistol-chan is so reliable. You should promote them to Chief Detective.

(Pistol-chan Awakening +1!)

You stride determinedly in the appointed direction for just ten minutes (with corrections made for the canals and buildings), when you spot Fireplace stepping out of what seems to be a small doctor's clinic.

>HEY, ABS

>y halo thar fireplace

"HEY, ABS," you holler, like an obnoxious young man accosting a prostitute, except that prostitutes tend to wear more clothes than Fireplace.

Abs spins around to face you, reaching up to tip his hat up slightly, while passers-by stare and duck out of the way in case the Shichibukai takes offence at the random Marine yelling at him.

You beam and wave as you approach.

Fireplace shakes his head a little, then walks over. He really has looked more relaxed lately, rather than begrudging his entire existence (or just wanting to kill you), but he looks positively cheery now.

You open your mouth to ask how things are going, as you meet up in the middle, which is when Abs -

Uh.

Okay.

You're being hugged.

Okay.

"Hey man, if I ever get a promotion and get my own ship and stuff, you're welcome to hang out"

You guys are so fucking huggy.

Also, heading home now, update when I get back. Also also, very drunk.

Also also also should be regular updates tomorrow because wooooo, day off!

>huggu huggu

....

...........

................ Hm. Hug. Nice.

You (mentally) shrug and (physically) wrap your arms around Fireplace in turn. He's taken to wearing a open shirt since his Shichibukai status, so you aren't even obliged to feel any Marine panic at potentially touching his Whitebeard tattoo.

"thankyou," he murmurs, quick and quiet in your ear.

Ah, yes. The sweet, beautiful feeling of appreciation. You revel in it for an ecstatic few seconds.

>Well, y'know. It's just what I do. (preen)

Fireplace pulls back, still looking happy and non-murderous. "Yeah. He's calling - a friend right now, but we spoke. It sounds like you knocked some memories loose."

Huh?

Abs notices your confused look. "Yeah, he'd completely forgotten about me."

Uh.

You step back slightly, slowly looking Fireplace up and and down. He... isn't exactly forgettable.

"I meant he had amnesia!"

"Geez, say that, then!" You throw your hands in the air. "I thought he just had a really bad memory or something!"

"Well, not any more." He smiles, bright and relieved. "He's busy with his own life now, but... just knowing that he's alive and okay..." Abs trails off, obviously lost for words.

Fireplace gives a brief scowl - "Don't call him that!" - before shaking his head. "Nah. I don't have his den den number, so I'll have to wait until I next see 'im, unless Sabo wants to track him down himself. Whiiiich, he probably will." He gazes out over the sunny streets of Water 7. "I mean, it's unlikely Luffy's going to end up HERE."

You nod in agreement. "Yeah, I guess leave it to Mr Stealthy."

Firefist is gonna think we're dating robin.

I think it's joy.

I think that peoples, Robin included, would assume that we're intellectual rivals waging a great battle of wits between two masterful schemers where both side are constantly trying to out-keikaku each others in a bid to prove their superiority when we really just bumble our way into success by mistake but are good at making it look like we planned it all along.

Alright I just binged the archives over the course of a couple days. Running on about four hours of sleep total. And holy fucking hell. I haven't been this hype thanks to dice since improvaizen. Also simultaneously disappointed in said dice. Really I'm not sure how I feel about the dice. They are just too strong. In both directions.

But this quest is the most fun I've had since the board split so thank you and congratulations.

Hmm. Maybe... Strawbrat should know? You cough awkwardly, suddenly finding the local architecture fascinating. "Although, uh, I DO have Nico Robin's number. For reasons."

"........" Abs verbalizes loquaciously. "Uh. Do I... want to know what those reasons are?"

You pull a face. "I had to go temporarily undercover as a pirate. Then I got kidnapped and ended up your brother's ship for a while. It was a thing."

Fireplace's lips twitch. "You - got kidnapped by my little brother."

"Well, technically -"

Then he points and laughs at you. "Haaa! This is great! Luffy kicked your ass! That's karma!"

Your face morphs into a full scowl as he nearly chokes around his continued hilarity. "I was drunk, no-one kicked- STOP LAUGHING DAMMIT!"

He doesn't.

>Kick him in the shin like a ten year old.

On an unrelated note and not being entirely caught up with the series, what if that fancy third world ending weapon has something to do with all those moons the world seems to have? We know at least one moon has a city on it. But all those others? Pluton is a crazy boat. Poseidon is seaking talkygirl. We got something for the surface of the sea and something for under the sea so what are the odds the last thing is above the sea? At first I'd thought it'd be funny if it WAS Ark Maxim but then I remembered Enel built the thing so it couldn't possibly be old enough to be Uranus. But something built on those celestial bodies? It's crazy enough. And it's not like getting to space is hard in universe.

Or maybe it's something dumb like a trebuchet I don't know. Until I find out for sure my headcanon is that Uranus is some sort of space cannon or something built on the things orbiting the world though. Anyone else speculated on it?

>tfw you only thought about it now because anon was talking about shipping Robin and it reminded you of the tree at Ohara

>>3790191
Thank you anon, for making me curious and have to research episodes to make sure I wasn't crazy about the moons around the world. Unless the tree was wrong, of course.

Or something.
Anyway enjoy, I tried to mash-up the costumes. It didn't really work out.

>i am rubber (actually, that's luffy), you are glue (or fire, whatever)

You really wanna kick him. In the shin. But you are a mature and professional Marine with impeccable self-control, so you instead scowl in manly and not at all pointy way, and fold your arms while Fireplace giggle-snorts like the immature and unprofessional pirate that he is. Is he technically still a pirate? Whatever.

"If I got caught by Strawbrat, and I caught you," you snidely announce, "then by all logic, you got beat up by your own little brother! That's gotta sting, huh, Abs?"

The laughter switches off as quickly as Smoboss' interest vanishes when you and Ta-sis start babbling over swords. Instead, Fireplace's eyes narrow at you as a little steam puffs out from his shoulders. "What."

You smile. Sweetly. "I was just wondering whether you getting beaten up by your little brother was a regular thing. Tell me honestly, do you cry afterwAACKKGETTOFF ME!!"

"I KICK HIS ASS, HE DOESN'T KICK MINE," Abs yells, your neck caught in the crook of his elbow as his headlock catches you off guard. What was his bounty? Half a billion? You're sort of seeing why, because you didn't even see him move just then.

"*I'LL* KICK YOUR ASS, THEN!" Your own elbow lashes out into his side, causing only a small flinch, as Abs tries to drag you further down, which you kindly assist by hooking your ankle around his and bringing both of you down to the (wonderfully clean) pavement.

It's when you're trying to strangle Fireplace with his hat cord, and he's trying to grind your face into the ground that the pair of you finally realize you have an audience; looking up to see Mr Stealthy sitting cross-legged in front of the doctor's clinic, trying to keep a straight face. Oh, and quite a few civilians are hanging around too. You think they're taking bets.

Ah.

Another fool, laughing.

There must be... JUSTICE.

"WHAT ARE YOU LAUGHING AT!?" And with that polite query, you twist off the ground and out of Fireplace's suddenly lax grip, arms outstretched and fingers hooked into claws as you lunge at the now wide-eyed Mr Stealthy.

Apparently it's difficult for even guys with super-reflexes to dodge (or catch you again) when they're sitting cross-legged after having recently woken up from unconsciousness, because he just has time to squeak, "AT YO-" before you slam into him like a cannonball into whatever Garp throws it at.

Aka, violently. And resulting in screams.

Mr Stealthy splays backwards as he hits the ground, reaching up to yank at your hair and coat - then you hear a defiant yell and footsteps from behind, before a small house lands on your back.

Or Abs. Seriously, dude, lose some weight.

The three of you roll across the street in blissful, violent stupidity, as the growing crowd cheers their approval at particularly effective kneeings or punches.

Pirate vs Marine vs Spy. The showdown of the ages, as you yank at Spy-Guy's (luxuriously silky) hair, ignoring his yell to watch his hat, Fireplace trying to give you a Hanoese burn (ultimate dick move), twelve limbs kicking, hitting and generally flailing, like a bizarre three-headed octopus. Or whatever the word would be for twelve. Deca-deuxpus? You don't know or care, you're too busy trying to bite through Spy-Guy's coat and into his shoulder.

"VENGEANCE," Fireplace yells in joy and merriment, a tone completely at odds with the way he manages to latch onto you and NO NOT A SUPLEX

It is, regrettably, a suplex.

You shriek like a banshee as you hit the ground, cheek pressed against the pavement, pinned with Abs' knee on your spine (ow), arms twisted behind you as you wriggle to no avail, Spy-Guy laughing loudly as he probably watches. "Surrender, Trashcan!"

Trashcan?! TRASHCAN?!?!? THERE'S ONLY ONE GUY WHO MAKES UP STUPID NICKNAMES HERE, AND THAT'S ow ow ow that hurts

>I surrender! I surrender!
>Stealthy, come save me again! I'll give you... candy?
>W-wait! Let's team up against your brother!
