Welcome everyone to West Blue Seadogs Quest!
Before we begin let's set the rules shall we?

>What is this?
A quest set in the One Piece universe, more specifically in the West Blue. A sea rife organized crime and the birthplace of some of the worst scum the world has ever seen
>When is it set? What about canon?
We'll be starting at the exact same time as Romance Dawn. Meaning that while canon is still intact, that has the potential to change quite a bit
>Who are we?
A 15 year old boy alone at the sea. You have no applicable skills what so ever. Your decisions will decide your proficiency
>Dice
We'll be primarily using 3d10's and a best of 3 will decide the outcome. Rolling happens after voting for labor intensive tasks. The DC can be influenced by your decisions in both good and bad ways. So clever thinking is rewarded and bad ideas are punished.
>Updates
I'll try to churn one out every hour but I'm mostly just testing the levels of activity during different hours
>Questions
Anything you want to ask you can do it in the thread and I'll try my best to answer so don't be shy

'scuse me what now?

>>4456736
You don't remember when you set up a twitter poll with Human Quest Super as an option which lost, then you disappeared and a few weeks later it popped up?
You don't remember accidentally posting with the Spookyng trip and deleting it rapidly in Human Quest Super?
Why bother hiding it?

That being said HQS got boring anyway

>>4456741
I do remember making a poll, yes
However I didn't even remember what the options were until I checked them
And after Wars of the Free, which I worked on very hard only for it to flop I felt really down and no longer had any drive to do quests. The main reason why I decided to stop with DMC because I was just forcing myself to keep going
So I genuinely don't know what you mean

Anyway it seems we got a winning

You rummage around in your pocket and scrape together every belly that you have and present it to the two adults.
"Is this enough?"

One of them starts rolling the coins around in his hand and counts them. They don't appear to be satisfied.
"What? Only 500? Ugh fine."
The two continue to grumble as they leave and casually pocket what amounted to all of your money. They were in such a hurry they even forgot to give you your permit. Hopefully you won't be in any trouble for this. But at least now you won't be disturbed for a little while. After securing your boat and swinging the sack containing the rest of your belongings over your shoulder you head into the nearby village.

"Whoa! So this is what a big town looks like!"
You look around and see two people sitting in the shade, another laying on his market stall and a hooded man kneeling beside a building with his hand put out.
"It's even better than I imagined!"
Your enthusiastic stroll is then suddenly interrupted by an ungodly growl.
"Oh right. I should eat something. Wait! MY MONEY! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I forgot!"
You fall to your knees and begin sobbing as the reality of the situation finally dawns on you. There's no helping it, you need to find a way to sustain yourself.

Thinking about the issue for a moment you see no other way out of this other than getting a job. You could go and ask someone for food or go into the wild to look for something but you'll need money sooner or later. And while you don't know where one can find a job you do know where you can go and ask.
Finding a tavern is easy, just follow the sound of swearing, shouting and ear splitting music and you're on the right track. And it just so happens to be the exact building where the hooded figure is kneeling. As you walk up to the swinging door he even stops you and raises his hand higher.
"Please. Spare some change for the hungry."

"I-"
You can't even respond before your stomach lets out a painful growl.

"Oh. I see. Forgive me."

He curls up once more and gets back to his business. You feel bad for him but now you got more important things to worry about. As you enter the tavern you see a few of the patrons eyeballing you already. Walking up to the bar you climb on one of the stools and spot the bartender, a fat and very hairy man who's too busy with the newspaper to even look at you.
"We don't serve kids here."

"Sorry mister. I can't buy anything. I'm just looking for a job."

He stops his reading long enough to size you up and he quickly gets confused.
"Who are you? You're not from around here are you?"

"No sir. I just arrived with a boat. But I spent all my money and need more.
Do you know where I could find some work maybe?"

"Hmmmm... well that depends. What can you do?"

"Not much. But I'm used to hard work!"

"That's not-"

As the bartender is about to say something, the man with the cloudy eyes that was looking at you finally stands up and walks beside you. He grabs you by your white shirt and pulls you in so he can leer at you a bit better. You can't help but shut your nose as his stinky breath irritates you.
"Look what we have here! Little boys coming in and thinking they could steal our jobs! We don't like those around here! Maybe we ought to teach you some manners!"

His fist comes up so quickly you can't even react before it smacks you in the cheek so hard you fall off your stool and roll on the ground. Luckily he seems satisfied and doesn't kick you while you're down. Instead he makes his way back to his table, satisfied with his work. The bartender is shouting at him but it's hard to make out from your ringing ear. That certainly wasn't very nice of him.

>writing

Rubbing your cheek you get up and wait for the ringing to subside. As soon as it does you can make out the owners yelling.
"How many times have I told you?! If you can't behave yourselves then GET OUT! You clearly had more than enough as is!"
But the thugs just laugh him off and return to chugging their drinks. Unfortunately for the bartender it looks like they have no intentions of leaving. Maybe you could convince them. Walking up to the group the rather unpleasant man belongs you clear your throat.

"I'm sorry but there was a little misunderstanding. I didn't come to take anyone's job-"

"HAAA? You again? Haven't you had enough yet?!"
He reaches for an empty bottle on the table and raises it to smack you over the head with it. Only this time you grabbed his forearm before he could reach you. Your resistance fuels his anger but it quickly disappears as he realizes that try as he might he can't break free from your hold.

"But erm... could you leave now? I think the owner said he doesn't want you here anymore."

Nobody really knows what's going on anymore. The aggressive man keeps trying to make you let go but when you stop his other arm from smacking you he realizes that something's not right here. He stops resisting and quickly agrees to leave as you keep staring at him. Happy with the result you let go of him and he gathers his drinking buddies. As they all leave the owner looks at you.
"What did you just do?"

"I asked him nicely."

He smiles.
"Well if that's the case then I think I might actually have a job for you! I could use a good bouncer."

"Bouncer?"

"You throw out troublesome people. I can't pay much but I'll give you a free meal. Interested?"

"OH BOY!"

>1/2

You quickly cash in that free meal and stuff your face before any more patrons arrive. Surprisingly quite many people show up in the afternoon hours. The owner tells you that this is a mining village and that people are typically poor. So many spend their time in his tavern. Unfortunately that also means many frustrated and tired men that need to be kept in check. At first people were not too impressed by your presence but after the second or third troublemaker you managed to make people wary. As things calmed down and the sun began to set you sat down and chatted with the owner..
"Got to say it's good to have a quiet night for once. So kid. Where are you from?"

"Don't know."

"Never heard of it. Is "Don't know" far from here?"

"It is. Took me more than a week to get here."

"Not from the neighboring islands then. Sometimes we get visitors from there. So what ship did you come with? Where's the rest of the crew? Or are you just a stowaway?"

"There are no others. Just me and my rowboat."

"Ah that makes sense. Guess others would've shown up by now if you were traveling with someone. Anyway I think I'll take it from here kid. You can go and get some rest."

"You sure you'll be fine?"

"Yes. You already took care of the worst guys and I don't think they'll be coming back anytime soon. So here, your payment: 4000 Bellies."
It's certainly not much but it's not like you can expect more from half a days work.

You take your well earned payment and thank the owner. But there is still one little matter to attend to. Truthfully there are several but you can only focus on one at a time.
"Um, I don't mean to be ungrateful but I don't really have a place to stay for the night."

"Sorry kid but you're on your own. Don't get many visitors here and, well you saw the locals. I don't give out beds since the "incident". But you could probably try your luck with the marines. Last time I heard they rent out beds for the few visitors we do get. But if you value that little money you just made I'd advise against it. Slimy bastards. Not enough that they collect the governments taxes but they also swindle us out of our savings. Their latest trick is extorting docking fees out of unsuspecting victims! Seriously nobody even comes here so why screw them over like that? And all that for what? Protection against pirates that never come here because we're poor as dirt?"

It looks like he'll keep going like that for a while longer so you excuse yourself and sneak out of the building. Sadly it looks like you won't be able to sleep comfortably today as that money will be needed to purchase supplies. On the way here you almost ran out and died of thirst even with how much you were rowing. So you'll need to buy much more food and water than last time.
"Darn it. I'll never make it to the Grand Line."
You sit down next to the taverns wall and look up at the stars.

"Grand... Line?"
You look to the side and you see the same hooded man you met at noon. Looks like he hasn't moved an inch and he hasn't made much profit either. As he turns to look at you, you get a much clearer view of his features which manage to startle you. His face is elongated and brown with many pointed teeth decorating his massive jaw.
"You're going to the Grand Line?"

"Oh, erm, yeah. That's the plan. Do you know the Grand Line mister?"

"Know it? I was born there. I'm a fishman. And you shouldn't go there. Nothing to find there but misery."

"I know. I still wanna go there. I heard it's the place where you go to make a name for yourself!"

"You don't know what it's like. None of you do."
He turns away from you and continues to stare at the ground. Poor guy.

>You need that money more than he does.

That reminds you of something. He said he wanted some money and good thing too because if he didn't you would've assumed he just wanted a high five. It's not really easy giving your money away like that but maybe you can get something in return. Hopefully a few tales of the Grand Line.
"Erm here. I think this is 4000. You can have half of it."

You slap down the four 1000 belly bills on his hand and he looks up at you. He can't quite figure out what to make of this but he takes two of them and hands the other two back. Then he looks carefully at the bills and he almost tears up as he realizes they are genuine.
"Thank you!"

"You're welcome. Now can I ask you some stuff about the Grand Line?"

"Uh, one moment!"
He quickly stands up and rushes in the tavern and tripping no less than twice on the way in. A few minutes later he comes out with half of a roasted chicken and begins devouring it in front of you. In about 5 minutes he rips every morsel off the bones and sighs with relief before remembering that he's supposed to be talking with you.
"Thank you! You saved my life. I don't know when was the last time I ate warm food. But I can't tell you anything about the Grand Line. The things I know are not meant for a kids ears. Why do you care so much about it anyway?"

"Well I-"

"PIIIIIIIRATE!"
You hear a scream and you jolt up. Looking in the direction the voice is coming from you see a man wearing the white uniform of the men that sold you a docking license. He's running with a lit torch in his hand and a pair of binoculars swinging around his neck. He runs past you and keeps running until he leaves the town. It looks like he's heading to the big tower like building in the distance.
"A PIRATE SHIP IS COMING! NOBODY PANIC!! I SAID NOBODY PANIC! WE'LL HANDLE THIS!"
Well that's a relief.

"T-This is bad! Hey kid! Come with me! We gotta hide until they realize there is nothing and they leave!"

>Nod and follow him
>Finally! PIRATES!

This is going to be a good one.

>>4457126
>>Nod and follow him

>>4457126
>Nod and follow him

This should be interesting
>writing

You nod as the big fishman stands up and follow him. He's taking behind the buildings facing the main road.
"Okay! Nobody will know we're here if we stay quiet."

"What do you mean? All they have to do is search the place and they'll find us!"

"Not if there's no way to get to us!"
Without any warning he grabs you by the shirt and tosses you up at the roof of the tavern with zero effort. He jumps after you and lands on the flat roof with a loud thud. It doesn't even look like it was all that difficult for him.
"Okay we just have to keep our heads down and nobody will know we're here."

You do as you're told and watch as the townfolk barricade themselves in their homes. Meanwhile you're getting excited because you'll finally get to see what pirates fighting marines looks like. But it appears that you'll have to wait a bit longer because only one of the participants bothered to show up. Your fishy friend has to focus real hard on hushing his own growls. The pirates stroll into town like they own the place. They are seven in total, all brandishing some sort of a firearm as well as swords. None of them are really that outstanding except for the one in the center, their captain you presume. He's a big fellow, easily more than twice your size, making him over 3 meters tall. He has a big sword on his back and a comically normal looking pistol strapped to his waist.

"Hey Captain! Looks like people are very rude on this island. Nobody even came to greet us."

"Doesn't matter. If they don't welcome us then we'll let ourselves in! Go and grab everything valuable then get their owners as well. This place has a marine base by the look of it."

"Aye aye sir!"

>1/2

You try to get a better look at things but your fishman pal keeps pushing you down. He whispers about how he dislikes this as well but you can't do much about it and how the marines won't either. And he may be right. The pirates break in the houses of people and start ransacking everything. When they finally come out they carry small handfuls of cash, fancy cutlery, small jewels, food or bottles of alcohol, anything that has worth. Once they are done they begin rounding up people and tying them up.
"What's taking so long? Where are the marines?"
You whisper.

"They aren't coming. They are always conveniently late whenever something bad happens."

"Looks like the marines aren't coming cap'n!"

"Pfefefe! Looks like they are busy! Okay guys! Just a little more and we can go!"

"HEY CAP'! You said you like redheads huh? Check this out!"
The pirate drags a very resistant woman out of her home at gunpoint. Unlike the others she doesn't get tied up and threatened with beheadings if she resists. Instead the captain looks like he's sizing her up.

"Not bad, not bad! You know you look very pretty young lady. I think you'd make a perfect pirate queen for me!"
He grabs her by the cheek and moves her head around so he can get a better look at her. But she doesn't look like she appreciates the treatment and bites his finger hard enough to make him bleed.
"AGH you little-"
He tosses the girl on the ground and points his sword at her neck.

You've seen enough of this. You decided to go down there but all those hostages mean you can't approach the pirates. So what if there was another way? Pondering on how to do this an idea forms in your head and you smirk. From your prone position you stand up and begin running as fast as you can so the fishman can't stop you. Jumping off the roof you prepare for your dramatic entrance and with a shout you land and roll on the ground. The pirates quickly look in your direction and become twitchy.
"WHO'S THERE?!"

You begin screaming in response.
"AAAAAAAAAAAH MY KNEE! AAAAAH! NO MY KNEE!"

The pirates begin laughing at you and their captain leaves his woman in the care of one of his goons. He walks up to you and grabs you by the neck. He's so tall your legs no longer touch the ground when he raises you to his level.
"Lookie here boys. We got ourselves a hero. Tell me boy, what did you hope to do there?"

You stop your sobbing and look him in the eye.
"Well I thought I didn't really like you so I was gonna stop you."

"PFFAAAAAFAFAFAFA! Do you guys hear this? The boy wanted to stop us!"

They all break out in uproarious laughter which lasts for an entire minute while you reach for your pants. In an instant the laughter stops as they all hear a loud click and open their eyes. Their joy turned into dread as they saw the barrel of a pistol pointed right at the underside of their captains jaw. Before they could even make a noise you pulled the trigger with a smirk on your face. *click* Nothing.

Both you and the captain look down to see what happened. Confused you pull the trigger again and see a tiny bit of water sprout from the barrel of your pistol and your eyes shoot out of your skull as you start screaming for real this time. The flintlock got waterlogged.

>1/2

The pirate quickly throws you to the ground in a fit of panic and you quickly hurry to your feet. His subordinates all look shocked and don't know what to do as for all intents and purposes their captain almost died right then and there.
"What are you waiting for you idiots?! Get that brat!"

You start running as fast as your legs can take you while the pirates open fire at you. Luckily you manage to avoid getting shot until the captain ordered his men to stand down. Apparently he wants you alive so he can deal with you personally. Perfect. That means you have a fighting chance.

While the pirates give chase you run into the tavern because you kinda know its layout. After entering you quickly hide and wait for the first of the pirates to step in. The moment they do they get greeted by a chair to the face which breaks apart on impact. Only the two legs remain in your hands which you promptly toss at the second one, managing to hit him with one of them. All that did is piss him off, making him draw his sword as he steps over his unconscious buddy. The dark comes in handy as the brigand can only swing wildly in the hopes of hitting you.
"Stop running you little-"

You slide over a table and wait for the guy to bump into it. When you feel it move you flip it on him. Two others enter the room and they are greeted by a bottle of wine to the face each. As they stumble you dropkick one of them out of the window but you're not fast enough to get the other. He begins swinging his cutlass around and manages to slash at your belly. Quickly you tackle him to the ground before he can swing again and punch him in the face a couple of times to make sure he's out cold.
But as you're pummeling him a pair of hands grab you from behind and lift you up.

"Gotcha!"
The goon holds you down tight while his last remaining buddy comes up punches you in the face and the stomach. Raising your legs you kick him away and the guy holding you stumbles backwards. A quick elbow in the liver frees you from his hold and you can get back on him. Jumping up you grab him by the shoulders and headbutt him repeatedly until he falls. You look up to see if the guy you kicked can still fight or not and you get a sucker punch for your troubles. As your head hits the ground he quickly steps on it and begins to press down on you.

The guy is so heavy you can't throw him off no matter how hard you try and when he puts the tip of his sword to your cheek you know it's over. But help comes from an unexpected source as you hear a loud cracking sound coming from above. The roof of the building collapses and a massive weight is dropped on you as well as the pirate. You feel the weight lifting shortly afterwards as the fishman you made friends with lifts you up.
"Thanks for the save!"

"S-sorry I couldn't do more. I'm in no shape to fight."

"Where's the guy?"

"You mean this guy? He's out."

"Okay. Take their weapons away and tie them up! They are out but not for long."

"Got it. Don't worry I won't mess up. I got good night vision."

You give him a nod and leave the tavern through the broken swinging door that's held up by only a single hinge now. Though you may look sorry with the lower half of your white shirt stained with your own blood and the bruises on your face the fact that you're the only one that came out of there remains. And the captain knows what that means. As such he doesn't even attempt to handle you himself, instead he points his weapon at the hostages.
"Not so fast punk! One more step and I'll start cutting their heads off! I'll do it! I have a bounty of one million to back that up!"

"One million? Is that a lot?"

"Yes!"

"Heh. I bet I can buy a lot of food with that then!"
But that's easier said then done. You'll need to think of something fast or he'll hurt those people.

Well that took a turn for the shonen
Let's see if you can do this in one go
3d10, best of 3, dc 12, crit 16

>>4457564
>>4457568
Well that's decided

Rolled 7, 2, 5 = 14 (3d10)

>>4457561

Well there's no way to go but forward. And trying anything fancy might just endanger people as opposed to save them. So it's decided. You begin sprinting as fast as you can with the intent of taking the guy out before he could do anything. Seeing this he begins threatening you as opposed to doing good on his word.
"S-STOP! What are you doing?! I'll kill them you hear?!"

No. He won't. He's too scared of you to act smart. And as he sees you not slowing down he turns away from his meatshields, his only line of defense and raises his absurdly large sword. With a great overhead slash he swings to cut you in half only to find his weapon hitting what feels like a wall. His face distorts to roughly the same shape yours had when your pistol didn't fire as he looks down. He sees the thing that stopped his sword and he can't believe it. The barrel of your pistol.
"Hehe guess one million is not a lot after all!"

Slightly moving your hand you manage to push his sword aside enough to give you a clear view of his torso and you decide to make the most of that opportunity and kick him in the guts with all your strength. The pirate then tumbles backwards until he hits his head into a wall. Judging by the small amount of blood trickling down him, his head must've split open a little. But he probably won't die from his injury. The townsfolk barely understand what just transpired so they are looking at you for answers.
"I-Is it over?"

You give them a thumbs up and start untying them while your fishman friend also arrives with the rest of the blackguards neatly roped up.
"I got all of 'em. Even searched their clothes for any hidden weapons."

As he starts lining them up however you start hearing what sounds like a large herd of animals coming your way. Turns out those were just the local marines that showed up in the nick of time to help everyone. How fortunate. To their credit they do start with making sure the civilians are safe but right after that they turn their attention to the pirates.
"Alright everyone, don't panic! We'll round up those pirates in no time and... who are these guys?"

"These are the pirates you're looking for Captain. But it looks like someone actually did your job for you once."

"Oh it's the fishman again. Listen we came as fast as we could and I won't say any more than that!
Now who's responsible for doing this?"

>1/2

The crowd parts before you, leaving you no choice but to own up to your actions.
"Me."

The marine captain is in disbelief.
"Is this some kind of joke?"

"Not really. I did most of the work. Though he helped."

"Murray helped you? I'm sorry but I'm more inclined to believe a kid took out seven armed pirates on his own. Nevertheless we and the entire island owe you a lot."

"That you do."
Murray the fishman steps up.
"One million to be exact according to that scumbag over there."

"O-One million? But we can't, I mean we have to verify that and even then we don't have that kind of-"
The marine sighs.
"No you're right. If the bounty is legit it will be paid of course. I'll just send a message to Marineford that we'll take one million out of the tribute, that's what it's for anyway."
The captain then turns to you and adjusts his hat.
"In the name of the navy I'm sorry for all that transpired here."

"That's okay. But you should apologize to these people."

"True and we will, I promise.
But what comes first is your reward. We'll get working on it immediately. I got to say though I haven't seen beatings like this since I left bootcamp. Hey kid, by any chance don't you want to become a marine? It's not much but I could write you a letter of recommendation. With that they'd have to take you in for training."

"No thanks. Sounds boring. Plus your outfit looks silly."

"Well that's true. Not the uniform part. We mostly just sit here and wait for something to happen but when it does we're so unprepared we never make it in time to help. But anyway if you ever change your mind don't hesitate to reach out. The marines are always looking for new talent. Now if you'll excuse me I got pirates to lock up."

As they gather their stuff and leave Murray the fishman walks up to you.
"You made the right choice kid. Never trust those white uniforms. So, can I ask you something?"

"Sure."

"You want to go to the Grand Line right? Well the only kind of people that do want to go there are marines or pirates. And you just said no to joining the marines. Does that mean-"

"I'm a pirate. Yes."

"Thought so. And what's your goal? Do you want to be King as well?"

"Nah. I told you already. I want to make a name for myself. I don't want anybody elses. King, Emperor, Warlord, I heard about them and I don't care. I want a name that's mine alone."

"Hmmm. You're a strange one I'll give you that. Maybe you do belong in that mad sea after all.
And maybe... Tell you what! I want to join. I know the sea, know how to sail and know how to fight. Once I get back my strength I could be very useful."

"I won't say no to some help. Welcome aboard! But there is the matter of the loot. All pirates love loot."

"Yes. I guess they do. But let me tell you this now I won't take any less than-"

"Half. Take it or leave it."
You extend your hand to him.

"W-What?"

"Of course if we get other crewmembers we'll have to split it evenly but until then you get half. Oh and you'll have to do that part because I can't count. Or read.
Is that alright with you?"

Murray just stands there in silence for a minute before he returns to himself.
"Y-Yes that's perfectly fine c-captain. And uh, guess some introductions are in order. I'm Murray."

"It's nice to meet you Murray but I want my crew to have cool nicknames. I heard pirates have those!
What would you like yours to be?"

"Erm, I don't know. I never thought about something like that. How about Leviathan?"

"Nah. Too long. But you do have a big mouth with lots of teeth. Does Jaws sound good to you?"

"Jaws. Jaws, yeah I think that will work! "Jaws" Murray.
Would look good on a wanted poster. Erm, by the way I never got your name."

"MY name? I told you I'm looking for one."

"You don't have a name?"

"Nope. But it doesn't mean I don't want one. Anyways my nickname should be Silver or The Silver. I insist on that.
Or Captain, captain is fine as well."

"Very well. Captain."

"Good! Now first mate my first official order as captain shall be: Let's get some rest. I had enough excitement for one day!"

"F-First mate?"

And I think that's the perfect place to cut things off.

So I think we'll continue on Tuesday instead.

Man, it's hard to think of *anything* oda hasn't used yet.
even then, i stopped watching a long time ago due to pacing, so some of these might have been used

>>4458701
Well that's the beauty of DF's. Even if your fruit is not one of these you could easily bullshit your way into mimicing their effects
Two totally unrelated fruits an have shockingly similar abilities like Mochi and Rubber

>>4458701
I recommend One Pace in that case. It's a dedicated crew of editors who edit the anime into shorter episodes to match the manga pacing. I've been watching it since Fishman Island and it's very well done, pretty seamless too.

>>4458711
Buggy and law have similar fruits but the difference lies in what it applies to.

>>4458607
Shrooms shrooms fruit. Become a fungus man that can produce spores, accelerate decay, maybe survive otherwise mortal sounds since a shrooms can grow from any part of itself if it has something to feed on.

>>4458701
Well I had the idea for a DF that would allow the user to "melt" into and travel shadows, though I have no idea what to call it.

I've also been thinking of a crocodile zoan fruit.

And finally the Bachi Bachi no Mi Hornet Hornet Fruit. this turns the user into a hive of otherwise normal hornets that they can control at will

>>4458740
To be honest, I think a zoan-type fruit would be fun to explore, really press the limits of what it can do. So far it has been kind of the low-end type of DF imo.

>>4458740
The first sounds like a weaker Kage kage no Mi and the second like a different take on the Castle Castle fruit

>>4458753
Zoans are weird but I like them. They feel more like their users went "Oh this makes me big and strong, cool" and stopped there
While a few people got lucky with more advanced models that can do more stuff or experimented with them until they unlocked some real scary shit like Chopper or Kaku. Not to mention the awakened ones

>>4458773
Yeah, that is why I didn't know what to name it.

Mizu Mizu no Mi/Water Water Fruit.

A logia fruit that allows ones body to become water.

Not too certain if a water based logia fruit is already in One Piece but I think it’s an interesting enough concept.

>>4459310
There is no water logia in one piece, probably because the whole devil fruit users can't swim and lose all strength when submerged up to their ankles thing would make it overpowered

>>4459931
Yeah I don't think it exists either. Maybe BBEG Imu but even that's a stretch
Water is just such an antithesis to anything Df related I don't think it's possible for such a fruit to be real

>>4459931
>>4460094
Sam's reason I figure there are no fish/aquatic creature type zoan. Either it ignores some of the drawbacks expected of a devil fruit, or it can't use it's strengths properly since they would be drawn from the context of being under water

>>4460173
When typing about a possible water devil fruit I actually was thinking “ok but how would this work. Surely you cannot negate the weaknesses of being a devil fruit user” and thinking more on it now. I’ve come up with 2 possible solutions

1: Instead of pure water it instead takes moisture from the air and surrounding area to create water, however it cannot absorb too much, hence why being in water would be bad and not really be good. You’d still sink afterall.

B: A sort of reverse effect, your way heavier and weaker on land however when your in the sea you feel fine and as such are stronger.
>”but how would that even be effective? Surely you couldn’t just sleep in the water, and you’d be very weak on land”
For this reverse scenario I was thinking of possibly being able to breathe and live in water thanks to the devil fruit. More importantly because it’d be logia, you could easily hide yourself in a barrel filled with water or some sort of bucket because you can become water.

Okay lads I changed my trip a little, don't be alarmed
Anyway I came to announce something. I've always been more of a "fluff" kinda guy but I'd like to try out a bit of crunch this time. Tomorrow I'll try to implement some actual effects for the various stats you'll have. The reasoning for this is that OP is a very romantic setting where willpower directly translates to power, so it'd be fitting to have a system that reflects it. You'll have 5 stats which you can level up through repeated use. Depending on your level in each you'd get points to spend. The number of times you can do this and how effective they are would depend on your level
Allow me to break them down for you

>Strength
Physical power in all its forms. Used in perilous situations to perform beyond ones limit to either turn a failure into a success or amplify an already successful attack

>Guts
Sometimes it's not about how hard you hit, it's about how hard you can get hit and still keep going. Called audacity by some.
Behaves much like Strength but used for defense to keep hanging on by a thread or nosell attacks that'd harm you lightly

>Knowledge
Not just academic knowledge but a general awareness of ideas, objects, concepts and an understanding of how the world works.
Can give you help against enemies or navigate complicated situations (also unlocks reading and writing)

>Charm
Your ability to persuade others not just through speech but appearance, demeanor and mannerisms.
Your babyface and childlike mentality may sway some but it won't carry you far
Useful in all social situations as well as in combat to demoralize, anger or dissuade your opponent

>Presence
While charm is a personal skill Presence dictates how the world in general views you. It can't be trained only earned and used in many ways.
Acting according to your unsavory reputation can strike fear into the masses. But if people see a known monster staying its hand they can't help but view it as virtuous

You'd start out with the lowest level in Guts and Strength and fuck all in everything else
I'd like to hear your input on it

>>4460173
The closest we've seen Zoans get to aquatics are animals that spend most their lives in water (so crocodiles are okay) and amphibians (like Smiley. Also fuck this guy, this guy in particular because I can't use the Axolotl now)

>>4460441
That sounds... bizarre. The first one could work if it's the Sponge Sponge Fruit.
The second would be nothing short of a second Yami Yami no Mi, a special logia or as a weird science experiment trying to fix the DF weakness gone wrong. But it "MIGHT" work

>>4460493
Oh also tomorrow I'm planning on running around 15:00 GMT

>>4460493
Sounds pretty good to me. And that's pretty much all you're gonna get out of me since I'm a damn brainlet when it comes to stat systems and the like.

Would there be max levels for these?

>>4460493
Would the points regenerate?

>>4460528
I'unno
Don't even know if I want to give them numeric levels or do it DMC style with letters. I'm leaning towards the latter
And for the ultimate reward for maxing one out would be a once per thread chance to outright improve a result. i. e. turning a fail into a success or a success into a critical

>>4460538
Yes. Though not sure how frequently. Like per encounter, in-game days, session or thread

>>4460540
>>4460545
Gotta get used to this trip shit again

>>4460493
A sponge sponge fruit sounds interesting. Probably more likely to appear in the actual series than a water based fruit

>>4458607
Well you can't go wrong with being able to fly fast. Any Zoan would do, I'm personally for a crane or hornet as the other anon said. Both animals have badass combat themes associated with them.

For Paramecia
>Twirl Twirl fruit- ability to twirl and twist thing they touch
>Twinkle Twinkle fruit- ability to produce and control fireworks


For Logia a Dirt fruit would be boss, the ability to create islands by dumping enough earth in a spot and other fun things.

>>4460971
>>4461066
The Wring-Wring fruit kinda has sponge and twist powers.

>>4458607
What about a Kinetic Energy Logia.

>>4461104
Twirl Twirl is intended more like the Spin Spin but applied to other things than the user. Though yeah it could probably do that just without the kinda drying laundry after affect.

>>4456680
>see another One Piece quest
>think it'll be shit and die in ~3 threads
>nope it's fuckin spooky
You're a treasure

>>4461066
>>4461121
>twirl
Admit it you just want the Spin from Jojo
>twinkle
That sounds interesting, like a weaker but flashier bomb bomb fruit

>>4461108
I have no idea how that'd even function, that's more of a paramexia if I ever heard one
Specifically the Gura Gura no mi

>>4461317
>I have no idea how that'd even function
See, I pictured it like the Yami Yami no Mi but made of pure energy instead. Like it can't disperse but it's still a Logia. Even though Blackbeard should be a Paramecia and Katakuri should be a Logia.

>>4461317
>Jojo
Nah. I was originally inspired by Blueno spinning Luffy's face and envisioning massive crowd control by twirling/spinning the battlefield, no structure could impede us and being able to incapacitate enemies by twisting their bodies. Maybe even twirl other's attacks around.

After receiving your just rewards the two of you manage to find some lodgings. Turns out bar owners appreciate having their skins saved so he allowed you to rent his rooms. First thing in the morning you raided the general store and prepared for immediate take-off. Some of the townsfolk even watched you take off and wished good luck on your travels. Out on the open sea you chat a little with Jaws, mainly answering his questions but you manage to impress him when you tell him you rowed almost non-stop for seven days before arriving on Coconut Island. After that however you got to business and talked pirate stuff. Much more interesting.

"So before we enter the Grand Line we'll need to procure a few things. A proper ship for starters. This little dingy won't even be able to make the crossing. And it'll get demolished by the weather there. Then we'll need a few more crewmembers. A doctor is a must have as well as a navigator. A chef wouldn't hurt but we can make do without one."

"But why do we need a navigator? You seem to know that stuff."

"I just know the water, where islands are based on the current. I can be a helmsman but we'll need a proper navigator if we don't want to run around like a chicken with its head cut off. But anyway, I've been meaning to ask you something."

"Shoot."

"Can you swim?"

"I can."
He nods as if you just confirmed his suspicion.
"But I don't like to. Hate it when my clothes get wet."

"You're supposed to take them off when you swim."

"I know."

You keep rowing and spot a landmass appearing far away. It's surprising how much faster it is when you're not just going around randomly. You ask Jaws what the island is called but he's as clueless as you are. Yeah you'll need a navigator soon. Picking up the pace you manage to dock in an hour and do so without getting mugged this time. Before heading to port however Jaws stops you.
"I've been thinking about something Silver."

"Yes?"

"You know if we pooled our money together we could buy a decent sized boat. Something with a roof and a sail at the very least. So? How about it? Give me the money and I'll look for something decent for that price."

>Cool. Bigger boat!
>Naaaah. Keep your money. I'm sure we can get a proper ship later

"Naaah. Keep your money and buy something nice for yourself! Like one of those wench thingies I hear everyone likes. We'll get a proper ship the RIGHT way!"

Jaws seems concerned by what you mean the "right" way but he's nevertheless happy about getting to keep his share of the loot. Following your advice he takes off both to check the town out and to replace his less than acceptable outfit. That actually sounds like a pretty good idea so you do the same with the added difficulty of not being able to read any signs. But how hard could it be to find the right shop? Turns out a bit more complicated than you expected as you got tossed out of one or two stores before finding the right one. Who would've thought there are stores that sell clothing only for women? But you do manage to find a proper tailor who didn't immediately shoo you away.

After asking him for help the tailor brought to you not one but three entire sets in your size. Turns out he has quite a stock since people can have very different bodies. But despite being very friendly you can't help but feel scared around him. Why does he have to wear make-up?
"Okay sweetie! How about you tell me which one you like! Because I just couldn't decide on my own you'd look so cute in any of them!"

The first set is what you always imagined pirates like. A large dark brown coat with matching loose pants, black boots and a tricorne hat.
The second is more dapper, a nicely tailored suit with a fancy shirt, a stylish vest, dress shoes and a bowler hat.
Finally is something more casual. A short sleeved hoodie and regular trousers.
You kind of like each one a little bit but it'd be unnecessary to buy them all. One set is enough. Right?

"I'll pick the suit thanks!"
The tailor delighted with your choice quickly goes ahead and measures you so he can properly adjust it to you. He works remarkably fast and once he's done the outfit feels almost like you're wearing nothing at all. So snug and comfy, not to mention it doesn't limit your movement. Truly a work of art except for one part.
"But I think I'll take this one instead."

You snatch down the tricorne and put the bowler hat back in its place.
"Oooohmygawd darling! You look superb! Nothing like a little personal touch to make the outfit truly unique. You look just so cute in that little costume it's adorable!"
He pinches your cheek and then gives you a little discount for your purchase. It still cost you about 200.000 berry. Even though you don't know how much that means the sheer weight loss of your coinpouch makes it abundantly clear to you that it was a lot. But you still should have enough left to do a bit more shopping. And it would be what the adults always called a business expense.

You thought finding a weapon shop would be even more difficult than finding a clothing store. Apparently not. While there are precious few general stores the town has an abundance of two things: Weapon stores and pizzerias. Strange little town this is. But it's useful nevertheless. Entering the closest one you can find you waste no time picking out a replacement to the old pistol you had from a barrel and pay for it. 50.000 belly sounds a lot but its absence isn't nearly as noticeable as your last expense. And it's not like you need a more expensive one, it's a back-up if anything. Perusing the store however left you feeling excited. So many shiny things on display all looking very fun and not to mention cool to use. But carrying all that would probably slow you down quite a bit. So you promise yourself to only buy one thing for now.

"Can I help you?"
The bored store owner looks up from his newspaper.
"We don't serve kids here y'know."

You walk up to the counter and put your clenched fist on the table before dropping a bunch of bellies on it.
"One weapon please!"

The man puts away his paper and gives you an avaricious smile.
"Well I suppose I can make an exception this time. What do you want?"

You tell him you'd like a sword or something similar to accompany your gun. He looks over the counter and sizes you up before doing anything.
"How much do you have?"

"I had 500.000 but spent 200.000 and then 50.000. That's how much I have."

He takes a short stop and then smiles.
"Well then follow me!"

He takes you on a little tour of his humble shop and presents his wares. You see small swords, big swords, big sticks, long sticks with pointy bits at the end. Who knew there were so many interesting ways to hurt people? But all that variety makes it quite hard to choose.
"Mmmmmmmmm, I guess I want something I can swing with one hand. Something light. Can you recommend something for me?"

"Certainly! Just wait here."
The merchants big nose wiggles with excitement as he's rubbing his hands together. A minute later he returns with something wrapped neatly in cloth. He unveils the strange bundle and shows you a brilliant blade adorned with many engravings and a decorative pommel. He invites you to take a closer look at it, even lets you touch the thing.
"Sharp isn't it?"

You drag your thumb across its edge and wait for the wound to turn red as blood bubbles to the surface.
"Yeap! That's good! Does it have a name?"

"A name? Yes it's called a falchion!"

"Oooooh nice! I'll take it."

The merchant asked for all your money in return. But when you asked him if you could keep some so you can buy food for your journey he was kind enough to take only most of your money. Your pockets feel considerably lighter than before but your spirits are high. Now you look and feel like a proper pirate!
"I wonder how Jaws is doing-

You decide to start searching for your crewmember and share your happiness with him but finding a single person in a town this big won't be easy even if he's a fishman. After walking down many streets you still can't find a clue of his whereabouts. Just as you're about to give up and head back to the boat you hear a woman screaming nearby followed by an angry shout.
"Shut your trap! This doesn't concern you!"
That sounds like something that concerns you.

You walk into the secluded alleyway you heard the scream from and stop as soon as you see what's going on. The pavement and the walls are running red and the sound of heavy objects slamming against meat rings in your ear. Three men in matching suits are surrounding a fourth figure and keep beating him with wooden bats. You don't like this one bit.
"Learned your lesson yet freak?! We don't like your kind around here!"

"Hehe. You and everyone else chum. You're not even the worst of 'em.
Ptooey."
Jaws spat some of his blood at one of the men. He doesn't look pleased that his suit got ruined and bashes the fishman with his bat.

"That'll teach you a lesson about spitting you animal.
Okay boys, I think he's had enough. Don't want a corpse on our hands. Let him crawl back where he came from and warn the others. And if you get another idea fishie, remember who runs this town!"
The men turn around to leave but they bump into you as you attempt to stare a hole in their chests.
"You got a deathwish or something kid? Get lost!"

Murray looks up and his tired eyes spark up with life. He looks like he tries to call your name but he bites his own tongue to stop himself.
"N-No. Don't do it!"
After that brief glance at him you turn your attention back to the men in front of you.

"What's wrong shorty? Something the matter? What's with that look?"

"I don't like you."

"You hear that fellas? He doesn't like us! And what are you gonna do about it eh? Speak fast before we break your kneecaps boy."

"What you did to my first mate."

"SILVER NO!"

The one talking to you tries to speak up but before he has a chance to utter a word you quickly draw your pistol and without any warning point it at his belly and pull the trigger. The point blank shot makes him fall on his back as the other two quickly scamper. One raises his bat obviously to swat you with it but you're quicker on your feet and draw your newly acquired blade. Unceremoniously you slice the back of his knee with the curved blade. When he falls on his hand you position the falchion in front of his neck while as you move behind him. Still gripping the handle of the falchion with one hand you use the other to grab the blade and pull on it as hard as you can. Blood gushes out of the mans neck like from a tapped keg. Luckily your new clothes were not too tarnished by this little act but a bit of blood did sprinkle on them.

But as you stand up after finishing off the second guy you see the last one standing in place and completely frozen. You fully expected him to try and kill you. Lucky. Casually walking up to him with your gun pointed at him you tell him to drop his weapon and he obliges.
"Now then. What to do with you-"

As you're considering the possibilities Jaws stands up and groans.
"Stupid boy. You shouldn't have done that!"
You're confused by this. They hurt him after all.
"I could take it. I'm a fishman remember? I'm much stronger and hardier than a human. This is nothing. But we're in big trouble now."

"T-That's right!"
The cowardly man nods.
"You're in it deep now! The boss-"
You cock your gun and make him shut up.

"What's wrong Jaws?"

"The West Blue is dangerous Silver! Gangs, families and other criminal organizations are everywhere. We'll never reach the Grand Line if they make our lives a living hell!"

"Jaws. I may not know a whole lot but I know one thing: Pirates don't care. And we are pirates.
Criminals? Bring them on. Bring them all. We just have to show them who rules the seas!"
You're not sure which one is about to call you crazy Jaws or the guy you're aiming a gun at but it doesn't matter. Better drive the message home.

What can I say, I'm a sucker for curved swords but katanas are abundant in OP and other media
I was also considering a kopis or a yataghan but those felt too short
Luckily not only katanas can have names or curses so we have options. Besides, stick with something in One Piece long enough and it will become op as fuck on its own

No offense man but this thing just makes me One Piece Bounty Photographer Quest all the more...

>>4462515
I'm sorry to hear that but please do go on. I'd love to know the details

>>4462515
I don't know bro, OPBP got kinda gay on account of the QM being a fujo.
They forbid any and all forms of romance.
Also the whole getting the lightning fruit by brutally murdering Enel and then just coincidentally finding and eating it accidentally.
Also they unceremoniously killed off my nigga Crocodile.
Also Kid, if we're talking about unceremoniously killing off characters the QM disliked.

>>4462529
Oh wait, I say any and all forms of romance.
I mean
Any and all forms of waifuing.
I'm pretty sure we were being encouraged to fuck men.

Perfection. Also fuck devil fruits because they stop you from swimming with fish bros

I for one hope we never replace the suit and just patch it up/add elements as necessary throughout.

>>4462529
>>4462530
I honestly hope this QM says no waifus too. The lack of waifus was the best decision BPQM made.

>>4462637
Waifus or not, I'm pretty confident Spoops will do good based on how he did GHQ.

>>4462637
>The lack of waifus was the best decision BPQM made.
This speaks volumes of how poorly run that BPQM was more than anything else.
What a complete and total shitshow.
I'm glad it's dead.

I'm thinking of updating the pastebins with a few more tidbits of information as well as the stats. Also maybe the stats giving flat boosts to rolls involving them would work better. Less clogging up the thread that way. Like if you have a level in strength you get a +1 to your lowest roll involving it at all times. And only the special abilities at later levels need player input. Will post soon

>>4462571
Adding stuff to the suit sounds fun, like displaying your accolades. Only issue is that you're still very young and growing. But clothes in OP are nebulous enough to say that it'll grow with you

>>4462637
>>4462646
The MC is 15 years old so waifuing would mean pedophilia.
But I don't know. I think I handled Kaizars relationship way back in the day rather well sans Neliel whom I could've handled better but hey, live and learn. Also it meant we got supreme shark maiden and that made me happy

>>4462658
>>4462661
Come now there's no need for that

>>4462529
God damn, I was archive binging that one and thought it was funny as fuck. Does it really get super bad?

>>4462750
While I don't think the quest was complete shit, The MC was easily the worst part of Bounty Photographer, with the players constantly trying to metagame everything being a close second.

>>4462775
I kinda feel like the MC is the best part. He's like a saturday morning newspaper comic character, he either gets shat on hard or floors everyone with something eye roll worthy. Could do without the constant metagaming though, yeah.

>>4462746
I'm down for devil fruit.

>>4462794
It was fun at first, but goddamn did it get unbearable, especially with the Conqueror Haki bullshit and being related to Big Mom and the Donquixote family.

>>4462803
>Conqueror Haki bullshit
Do tell because I'm definitely interested in using CH myself

>>4462818
The QM said that if we managed to bank a total of (I think) 10 crits, then we could spend it to get CH. Well, it happened, and IIRC during our 'duel' with Mihawk we got stabbed and used CH to not pass out like a bitch.

Then we got drunk and Mihawk kidnapped us and made us dress up as a crow, which was honestly the best part of the entire quest.

>>4462825
I still wish we had spent the crits on the bird zoan for Noodle.

>>4462818
Oh wait yeah.
The MC who was constantly shit on and treated like a harmless retard (granted he did act like a retard.)
Here's a few things that make him stand out...
>All three types of Haki unlocked before Luffy even heard the term
>Enel's lightning fruit
>Skill using all sorts of fucky weapons
>A fucking backpack full of dials
>Was Big Mon's grandson
>Was Doflamingo's nephew
>Captured Ace through sheer good luck
>He's a D.
>Almost captured every single strawhat to the point they needed Dragon to bail them out.
>Continually defeated Zoro in fights.
He was basically the ultimate metagamey meme fuckhead.
He was meant to be a photographer.
Who took pictures of people.

Made some adjustments to the pastes. Gave them a bit more personality as well as the crunch in the char sheet

Wot da gork?

>>4462864
QM gave the dice too much power and that combined with the neverending crits led to a lot of bullshit.

>>4462830
>Was Big Mon's grandson
>Was Doflamingo's nephew
>He's a D.
That’s so dumb it’s hilarious

>>4462874
That's not what I'm astonished by. Why would you give the players the ABILITY to unlock Conquerors Haki AT FUCKING ALL? Let alone with crits used as currency?

>>4462878
Wait... That makes Corazon his father. Who's the mother?
And how in the ever burning asshole of Magellan can a Celestial Dragon be a D?

>>4462879
They didn't want to, but the players begged for it. The bird zoan I mentioned was one their many attempts to persuade anons not to get it.

>>4462882
Mom was an OC Charlotte who had a one night stand with Rosinante. Mom then gave Flashman up for adoption and he ended up joining the marines because all he had to remember his father was his marine compass.

>>4462882
MC was an orphan so we never got to meet the parents. QM decided he was a D because of all the crits we got but I think it was just a joke.

>>4462874

Yeah literally everything mentioned in >>4462830 was the result of a roll

>>4462830
We also reunited Ace and Luffy with Sabo, who just happened to be in Water 7 at the same time as us.

Oh, and because we captured Ace, Garp strong-armed Ace into becoming a shichibukai so that he could help Luffy against Crocodile.

>>4462883
>>4462893
My only question is why was an OC necessary? There is almost 100 Charlottes with plenty of variety between them.

>>4462897
Probably a joke. D's aren't or shouldn't be immune to rotten luck. Just look at Traffy. Boy couldn't get more shafted if he shambled a few vaginas onto his own body

>>4462933
That's just plain weird
I guess I'll still read the thing as some people are remembering it fondly

>>4462939
>why was an OC necessary?
So that the MC could be a D. of course.
It wasn't a joke.
It was totally serious.

>>4462945
What? I only remember them saying it as a joke after we got 2 nat 100s on the same roll or something. I don't remember them saying the mother OC was a D either.

>>4462950
There was proper discussion about it.
Because he was a D. it also means that the Snake that he named D. was also an official D.

>>4462956
Wasn't that just the fake name we picked?

>>4462960
Nope, it was a fake name but the MC was actually a D.
So the middle name in their fake name was legit.

>>4462961
I checked the archive and you're right. QM decided that grandpa must be a D after the crit that captured Ace.

I've never read or watched One Piece, but I've been reading this quest and have been able to follow along with my very basic knowledge of things, and so far I've liked it. Might actually start reading because of this.

>>4462990
All I gotta say is that Bounty Photographer was a hilarious and wild ride but not necessarily a good quest. Still bummed it just died out of nowhere but the players themselves were constantly teetering between maximum simping and absolute shittery.

Maybe the good end was the dads we made along the way.

>>4463058
I'm with this anon desu, I enjoyed it for the time i was apart of it and despite all the events mentioned here alot of the reasons for success and the events occurring were the high rolls even in Dcs where success was or should've been near impossible, like the Ace thing.

Also as an aside its turn it was great since the original intent was a serious quest with a mook mc taking pictures and maybe doing some intrigue behind the scenes iirc

>>4463058
>>4463343
desu I hated it but a lot of people seemed to have fun

>>4463468
It definitely wasn't for everyone. But that's alright.

Reading through this quest now, just got to the very first roll.
And it's a crit.
Are One Piece quests just blessed to have lucky protags, or what?

>>4463504
It is the will of Dice.

>>4463504
>Are One Piece quests just blessed to have lucky protags, or what?
Comes with the tradeoff of never being finished...

>>4463516
Isn't that most quests?

>>4463609
I mean I've seen Dragon Ball, Naruto, MHA, Bleach, etc quests end. Never One Piece.

>>4463634
To be fair, one piece never ended either.

Just a reminder

Damn, this seems really solid so far. It has the feel of One Piece.

Jamming the barrel of your flintlock under the guys ribs you start addressing him.
"Drop the bat. Good. Now listen. I protect my crew. You hurt him and this is what happened. Now go and tell your boss what you saw. What I did. I want to know if he'll do the same or if he's a coward sitting behind others!"

You pull the gun away and motion him to move. When he refuses you pull the cock back and he starts running like hell. Jaws then berates you for what happened.
"You just killed two of them. Why let this one go? And what convinced you to taunt their boss?! I was fine. But now-"
By raising your hand you stop Jaws from saying another word. Despite claiming to be alright he's still bleeding which worries you.

>We get back to the ship and book it
>We'll patch you up and wait for them to attack

"But now we'll get you patched up and handle things from there. Let's find a safe place first."
>Good idea: Knowledge+

He looks like he's about to retort but after a wince and a nervous clutch of his still bleeding wound he relents.
"Alright. In that case I think I've seen a-"

But before he could tell you of the place he found every door, window and sewer lid in the entire street bursts open with men, women and children all dressed in fancy suits poking out of them and aiming guns at you.
"THERE THEY ARE! SHOOT 'EM FELLAS!"

"AIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEE!"
You screech alongside Jaws and turn tail IMMEDIATELY. Running as fast as you can you scream at the fishman whilst your tears are like two open taps.
"WHERE DID THEY ALL COME FROM?!"

Non too pleased by this Jaws starts shouting your heads off, stating that this is what he wanted to warn you about all this time.
"You idiot! This is "Gang Town"! Why do you think there are so many pizza places? Or why I struggled with buying anything? Almost EVERY family here is a family of MOBSTERS! And the one, ONE FAMILY you just had to piss off is the one that has all the others under control! "
He screams as a hail of bullets flies past you and adjusts your haircuts.

"Then what are we gonna do now?!"
Your scream in hopelessness.

"Over there! GET TO THAT CHURCH!"

You keep running and almost reach the doors of the chapel before one of the mobsters fires off a cannonball which explodes near your legs and sends you flying. The massive doors open as you crash face first into them and roll on the floor knocking over many pews. Jaws fared a bit better since he's a big guy for you and he manages to slam the doors shut. You keep low and wait for the sound of gunfire but it doesn't come. The doors are perfectly fine and for a moment it looks like you're safe.
"They aren't firing? Why?"

"Even the mob has standards. They wouldn't shoot up a church. I uh, I think."

You glance out one of the stained glass windows and see the mafiosos encircling you guns trained at every angle in case you get cute and try to leave. Sliding down against the wall you start laughing quite heartily.
"Kekekekek! Well I did it now didn't I?"

Murray beats you over the head.
"DON'T BE PROUD OF THAT!"

But as you exchange blows the sound of your commotion attracts an unwanted "guest".
"E-Erm, excuse me but what are you two doing in here? I'm afraid we're not holding any sermons at the moment and the church is off limits to visitors. P-Please leave!"
Jaws stops pulling on your cheeks and you start kicking him in the stomach for a moment to look at her.

>Sorry but we can't. We're in a little mess. Could you help us?
