For better or for worse, they're a part of Silver and his past.
Besides, it's not like Silver has displayed any form of shame about the scars.

"Oh really? You know how to do that?"

"Yes. We do use a lot of warpaints. And some do make them permanent. But it may hurt a bit. Since I can't deaden your back."

"That's okay. Let's do it!"

You lay down on the deck and expose your back for the upcoming procedure while she's preparing several different colored inks as well as what looks like a brush with needles in it. She kneels down next to you and begins mercilessly poking you.
"I'm sorry. When I saw your back I assumed they were from a battle. I didn't mean to pry but your navigator did tell me about it."

"It's okay. I just don't like showing it off because I heard it's ugly. I've never seen it but I felt it."

"Well hopefully this way it'll be nicer to looks at. It won't go away but maybe it can be something you can be proud of."

"What are you making?"

"I, don't know yet. It's bigger than I remembered. I'm not sure what can be done about it. But your entire back will need to be covered for certain. We won't be able to finish today but I'll try my best to mask some of the bigger ones first. If you have an idea about what you'd want then I'm all ears."

You stay put for two hours as she keeps poking you with that pointy thing of hers. It doesn't really hurt but it is pretty boring. And according to Angels comments you do bleed quite a bit there. After she feels like she's done all she can she cleans you up and tells you to let it rest a bit while you heal. It'll probably take a couple more sessions to finish. So you got those to look forward to. But as you're about to walk up to Jaws and Toxin to show off your new back a voice hits your ears. Marcella is the one shouting after she surveyed the waters with her telescope.
"MARINES!"

All five of you then look in the direction she's pointing. Indeed it is a navy ship. One that's a bit bigger than your own. With considerably more cannons on it. For a moment it looks like they haven't noticed you yet but that quickly changes as their ship starts turning in your direction.

Jaws your helmsman is looking at you.
"Orders Captain?"

"Oh would you look at that! Guys! I see Marines on MY ship! I don't like it! Prepare to board!"

But as you're about to run up for the wheel you get grabbed by the collar and Marcella pulls you back.
"Just what are you doing? Do you think we can just attack those guys?!"

"Y-Yes?"

"They'll sink us before we even get close dumbass!"

"Oh? No problem then! I'll just fly over and handle it! You guys can come over with the ship once I'm done!"

Hook looks like she hasn't heard a dumber idea in her life before. But before she could voice her opinion Angel steps up with her spear already prepared. She thinks it's a good idea and wants to fly over on your back to help. That could work so you laugh and agree. At the same time Murray also comes down from his post behind the wheel. He wants to come as well as he's more than a bit eager to prove his worth.

"Kek! Okay then it's decided! Hook you know how to navigate so you'll take the wheel! I leave you in charge! Toxin do as she says!"

"Alone time with Marcella huh? Oh my.... please don't."

With the plan decided you transform into a bat hybrid and Angel jumps on your back. While the tattooing didn't hurt THAT did. And it's not helped by the fact that you didn't put a shirt on. At the same time Jaws jumps in the water and is already swimming towards the marine ship. Grinning you take off as well and do your best to fly with a passenger on your back.

Meanwhile on the marine ship their lookout starts to freak out.
"C-Captain!"

"What is it? Do you have confirmation about the identity of the pirates?"

"T-THEY ARE COMING! The pirates are ATTACKING!"

"WHAT?"

The marines watch as you swoop down and drop Hagetaka off at the top of the mast. She runs across its entire length and kicks the lookout from the crows nest. At the same time as he lands face first you land at the main deck, Jaws jumping out of the water shortly afterwards.
"Marines and Marinettes! You are being boarded! Please resist!"

"A bat? A flying zoan."
The marine in the fanciest clothes speaks up. You guess she must be the leader. She takes her cigarette out of her mouth and tosses it away.
"This will be more annoying than Hina thought."

Her men however don't wait for her to give any orders and try to repel you immediately. They take aim but before they could shoot you dive into their crowd and start causing trouble, knocking small fries around. Jaws does the same, cutting a swath through their bigger dudes as he's swinging around his chained anchor. Meanwhile Hagetaka jumps down from her elevated position and arrives spear first, stabbing a marine in the shoulder during her landing. Looks like she doesn't need much convincing to fight. They are the enemy and she will fight them. Good.

But maybe it'd be best if you actually gave orders to them to help them focus on something...

"JAWS! Move take everything that's not nailed down! Then take everything that is! ANGEL! I want this ship dead in the water! Cripple it!"

Jaws nods and breaks a hole in the deck with his anchor and descends to plunder the place while Angel using her mobility jumps up and starts destroying the ships sails with her spear. And as for yourself, you'll take care of the trash. The marines are already focusing on you so it's not hard to get all of them to gang up on you. As they come you realize just how different this is compared to fighting Jimbo. You recall how easily he managed to toss you around and understand that you're doing the same now. Using your enhanced strength your Zoan fruit grants, you start throwing them overboard at a rapid pace. It's actually kind of annoying how little threat they pose. Some of them start to panic and they fire their guns at you but the moment that loud "Bang" comes you just grab one of the dozen marines standing around and use him as a meat shield. They too quickly realize the disparity between your power and their morale tanks.

You take this moment to look at the captain in the red suit.
"Hey lady! Stop hiding and let me kick your butt!"

Suddenly the fighting stops and the all-male crew of the ship snaps at you.
"WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?"
They roar and begin insulting you one by one. They say things like "How dare you" and "Little shit". The captains eyes twitch and it's not certain if it's because of you or them. But before she could get a word in two clowns step between you.

"Now Jango. I believe we can't let that slide-"

"Agreed Fullbody my friend! Insulting Lady Hina like that is unforgivable! My most beautiful captain! Please allow us to take out this trash for you!"

She lights another cigarette nonchalantly.
"Do as you please."

As these two stare you down the rest of the marines feel confident enough to go after your crewmembers. That's not good but they can probably take care of themselves. As for these two... they are not much to look at. You could probably easily handle them. But they might not be worth the effort.

Well these two at least provide you with a bit of fun. You tell them to come at you already and they are more than happy to oblige.
"Time to show why I'm called the Double Ironfist!"

"You tell him brother!"

"That sounds dirty..."

One of them comes at you with a pair of knuckle dusters. He's faster and stronger than the average marine but still beneath your level. However this does make him perfect for a very particular thing. You noticed back with the gun shot that you knew exactly where the bullet was coming from and how fast it was. In fact you noticed this before. So now you can figure this phenomenon out with this Fullbody guys help. You manage to dodge him effortlessly with your eyes following his movements. So what if you closed them?

You can "see" it. The picture forms in your noggin' as if you were looking at him with your eyes, it's just devoid of colors and a bit lacking in detail. But it's perfectly enough to dodge him. Reopening your eyes you smile and start focusing on what you learned as Fullbody throws punch after punch and missing every time. He's getting angered by this.
"Damn it! JANGO! Let's show this monster the true power of our bond!"

"Oh yeah baby! Let's show this pirate scum what miracles friendship can accomplish!"

"LET'S DANCE!"
"LET'S DANCE!"

The guy with the heart shaped glasses moonwalks up to you and joins in with his weird yo-yo like weapon, which is a circular blade tied to a string. He swings it around trying to cut you. Dodging it you retort with a back handed punch which he slides under. Now he's behind you and the two of them have you surrounded. They keep pushing you around until you all end up standing on the railing of the ship. At which point they start humming and singing to a beat. Their moves become synchronized and their teamwork improves drastically. The way they move at once and how they're aware of each others movements makes it much harder to dodge them. When you dodge Fullbody Jango manages to cut your back. When you duck under Jangos swing Fullbody is read with the uppercut. Not bad!

"YEAH! LET'S DANCE!"

You start taking them seriously and pick up the pace. Their singing helps you a great deal as it makes easier to track their movement with your hearing. After a few more rounds of exchanging blows you manage to pick up their rhythm and now it looks more like you're dancing with them. You continue for a while and the two marines start reluctantly praising you in between gasps of disbelief.

But you feel like you had your fill now so it's time to end things. You dodge a last punch from Fullbody and grab him by the arm. You recall how Jinbe threw you to the ground. How much it hurt. While you can't exactly replicate it, you know two things. First is the motion itself. Second is that just like you, this guy is made of water. Using what little you know about Fish-man karate you throw him on the deck and knock him out with one attack. Turning around you face Jango now.
"Now that's what I call dirty dancing!"

"Grrrr! You! What have you done to Fullbody? I should've know you can't dance with a pirate and expect him to turn good... oh wait! Well no matter! Time for you to pay!"
He uses his weird weapon and starts swinging it around.
"Follow the pendulum with your eyes! Now listen to my voice. When I finish you'll fall asleep immediately. One! Two! JANGO!"

Jango then falls unconscious right in front of you and falls off the ship, as he managed to hypnotize himself. However this doesn't mean it didn't affect you. Your eyes are getting heavy and you feel yourself getting sleepy. This is not good.

You feel yourself fading quickly. But knowing that there are enemies around leaves you with no other choice. With all the force you can muster you bite down on your own tongue. The pain is enough to snap you out of whatever magical spell that Jango guy put on you but it's not too pleasant. You yowl and quickly start rubbing your own tongue but with those bat wings it's quite hard. Meanwhile the captain is watching you smoking away and getting really curious.

"Jango may be a fool. But when he says you fall asleep immediately, you fall asleep immediately. Yet you held out long enough to break it. Hina is interested. Who or what are you?"
You morph back into a human to properly comfort your poor tongue and the cigarette falls out of her mouth.
"You? Cavalier Silver... Now Hina understands while vice-admiral Tsuru wants you out of the picture. Very well. Hina shall oblige. Hina will clip your wings before you can hit your stride!"
She puts on a pair of gloves and looks like she's now read to throw down. In fact she looks like she's about to charge you. But if those two were really her subordinates then maybe she'll actually be a match for you.

You stand there grinning like an idiot.
"You know my name?"

"Yes. Hina knows. But you must be the dumbest pirate on the seas if you boarded a marine ship with a bounty like that..."
She charges you with her arm swung to the side. Looks like she wants to give you an arm crash. Curious about how strong she is you brace yourself for impact. Couldn't be much worse than Jimbo, right? Well as it turns out she isn't. In fact it doesn't hurt at all. Her arm starts bending in a weird way. As she swings her arm then passes through your body, leaving behind an iron bar perfectly bent around your torso and constricting your arms. You don't know what to make of it as Hina casually walks past you.
"Congratulations. You just lost."

You start struggling and squirming but no matter how much you flex you can't make the iron budge. It perfectly folds around your body, leaving no room to wiggle and it's just as strong as cast iron, maybe stronger.
"W-What? Devil Fruit?"

"Yes. The Ori Ori no Mi. Hina is the Cage Human. That's where the name Black Cage comes from."
You keep grunting and exerting power but it's no use.
"Give up. There's no escape for you."

"I can break these cuffs!"

"You can't break those cuffs!"
She kicks you in the shin but instead of hurting you she locks your legs up as well. Unable to stand upright you fall over and have to wiggle like a caterpillar to move around. Realizing that you're well and truly screwed you try shrinking down into a small bat but the cage simply molds to fit your body. Then you turn into the massive hybrid form but the cage simply expands with you. Looks like there really is no escape.

Hina seeing that you stopped struggling goes to a box on the ships wall and takes out a den den mushi from it. She starts dialing and after a few moments enters a conversation.
"This is Captain Hina. I'd like to report that I've captured the 20.000.000 bounty pirate Cavalier Silver. We'll capture his men shortly. Please do send a message to Vice-Admiral Tsuru that her little problem will soon be chained up in Impel Down."

You look up at her.
"Chained?"

You start feeling angry. Very, VERY angry. So what if you can't move your arms or legs? You could still bite her throat out. You can still fight! You can still resist! With renewed vigor you begin pushing against your bindings much harder than before, to the point that it starts to hurt.

Hina just gives you a condescending look.
"Stop this. At least accept your defeat with dignity. After spending a little time in Impel Down Tsuru will-"

But she stops when she hears something. The unique and unmistakable sound of metal being forcibly twisted. But that's impossible, she thinks. The Black Cage is by no means unbreakable but it might as well be for someone of your caliber. So why then can you bend it? The answer lies underneath, at the boards of the deck. A smoke rises from it as the wooden planks blacken. Fire. Heat is coming from somewhere, threatening to engulf the ship in flames. And the bars of her Black Cage are heating up. They start to bend more and quicker until they explode off your body in a shower of molten metal. You stand up your body relatively unchanged but the air around you vibrating. A mirage. Hina is frozen. She can't make heads or tails of this. She thought you are a zoan user, no you ARE a zoan user. So then how?

This moment of hesitation is your chance. She's strong but she's dangerous because of that ability of hers. If you touch her she may lock you up again. So you'd have to find another way to attack her.

I'd like to name the flaming bat form "Flame Point" but unfortunately that'd be muscling in on Chopper's naming theme. "Flame Bat" is the only viable alternative that comes to mind, as "Hell Bat" either sounds one degree too edgy for Silver or would be used for a Mythical Zoan.

As you're thinking Hina finally gathers herself and throws her arms out. This time iron bars sprout from her hands and as they are swung around everything gets tangled up in them like in a steel web.
"Nobody escapes the Black Cage. Awase Baori."

But this attack is not like the last one. Now you're aware of the threat it poses and you see it coming. Listening for the whooshing sound of metal you evade them with your flight and land away from the black bars. But you're getting sick of this. You wanted a proper scrap. Instead you have to deal with nonsense like this.
"ENOUGH!"
The floorboards crack around you and Hinas black iron is humming with resonance. This reminds you of the first time you activated your fruit. That gives you an idea. You clear your throat and start screaming.
"REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"

Pretty much the entire ship begins to shake from your ear splitting screech but the most affected area is the cone right in front of you. Hinas cage disappears not because your scream broke it but because she couldn't help but cover her ears, which made the bars disappear. Wood splinters and breaks and things are flung backward immediately in front of you. The Captain hits a door and breaks through it without much resistance. And as you keep going the doorframe gets torn out of the wall as well. As you stop and examine the destruction it looks more like you fired a cannon than anything else. Though there is a bit more collateral damage than if you simply blew things up.

You walk into the ruined room and see Hina laying on a broken desk. Must've been the captains quarters she got thrown into. And although she sees you approaching she seems to be quite dizzy and her ears are ringing like crazy. It'd be easy to take advantage of her right now.

You look down at her. It'd be so very easy to subdue her right now in her moment of weakness. So you turn around on the ball of your heel and go back out. Checking the state of the ship you see that Angel already had her way with most of the sails. They've been cut but they aren't irreparable. They just won't be able to follow you for a while. She jumps down to your level and reports.
"Ship's disabled. The crew are either beaten or surrendered."

"Good. JAWS!"

The fish-man pops out from below deck with a bag stuffed with loot.
"Yes?"

"You got everything?"

"I think so. But there wasn't much. Why? Are we done?"

"I am. Give the treasure here. I'll carry it back so it doesn't get wet. You take Angel."

"Aye aye."

After packing up and Murray jumping in the water with your huntress you turn to look at the battered and beaten marines to give them a little bow. You thank them for their cooperation and urge them to send more ships after you because you could always use more loot. After that you turn into a bat-man and fly back to the Dauntless. After giving the crew the order to go full sail ahead you take your loot and finally unpack it to see what you got. It's... not much. Most of it is not even valuables, just books, parchments and other stuff like that. There are some weapons again which are not better than what you have and will be sold at the next port.

But amongst the things you got a few of the odd pieces of paper do get your attention.
"What's this? A map?"

"Nnnno. Looks more like a nautical chart. Look, these are all different routes. Must be navy patrols. Could be useful. Assuming they don't change them since we got our hands on this information."
Marcella observes.

"But what about this one? This long and squiggly one. Doesn't look similar to the others."

"O-Oh... I think I know what that is."

"What is it Toxin?"

"What kind of world government ship would go from port to port, hitting every single one? A tax ship. Probably they were meant to escort this ship originally..."

Your eyes begin to glisten.
"Oh really? A treasure ship you say?"

And sadly this is where I'll have to end things.
I'll write a little epilogue from the perspective of Hinas crew
But I must bid you guys farewell

So with someone as capable as Hina going down and the likely hood of us hitting a tax ship soon how do we plan to handle the Cipher Pol agents that are going to climb right up our butts in the near future?

>>4524891
Blunt force trauma to the dome maybe? It seems to work on everything that has a brain. And even some things that don't.

>>4524768

>The recording of Hina's call gets forwarded to Tsuru
>She just hears Hina boasting, and then in the background...
>"Chained?"
>followed by the sound of bending metal, then the recording cutting out as the den den mushi's eardrums burst

Oh man, what i wouldn't give for Tsuru's reaction

>>4524823
We could take that ship, then play the tax man with the Marine's support.

>>4524909
While I don't think Spooks will just kill us there are many horrible things we could have to go through dealing with them. Though that is metagaming so i guess I'll stop.

>>4524955
Oh I get it. EXTREME blunt force trauma to the dome. Nice lookin' out.

Eeehh, Tsuru's seen enough to very likely maintain a good poker face. Maybe have it slip a little.
Less experienced Marines earshot of the recording, however, are probably going to freak the fuck out.

>>4524791
Of course. How else would we make a Marine into a respectable woman?

What are you, some kind of creep?!

We should take the name 'Long John' Silver, if you get what I mean...

Silver wants to be tall. What else did you think he meant to infer?

I do in fact appreciate a good old fashioned cuddling session after listening to a woman venting her frustration, possibly after a nice home-cooked meal.

>>4525201
I doubt Silver wears underwear he roll out free ballin'

What would Silver think about joining the Revolutionary Army? I don't think it goes against his goal of finding a name for himself, and some of his crew would definitely jump for it, but I'm not sure he would care enough about world politics to consider it.

>>4524831
Yeah. Then you get branded a goy and the Cipher Pol JIDF will come after you

>>4524891
WG wouldn't care about a marine captain loosing even to a relatively new group.
But IF you diddle the Celestial Dragons in any way like taking their tribute then yeah. You will get on their shit list very fast.
So whatever you do, you better do it fast

>>4524955
Yes. The thing to note about them is that CP are not fighters. They are strong, yes. But they are assassins, spies and saboteurs. They can make your life hell indirectly

>>4525137
Keep in mind, Tsuru is the one that called Hina to handle you.
While she won't be surprised or mad the sensation of "I'm so done with this" will intensify

>>4525201
Good. Degeneracy will not be tolerated. Only wholesome and depressing things are allowed

But sadly Silver won't grow any taller unless you buy a pair of stilts. His development was stunted by malnutrition and neglect

>>4525305
We'll get there when we get there.
But let's just say he doesn't work well with authority figures. If he was asked to join his response would be the same as Zoros was to BW
"Okay. If I become your leader"

>>4525310
>His development was stunted by malnutrition and neglect

As was most of the characters in One Piece. If they can pull that kids nod of miraculous recovery bullshit out of their ass, so can we!

On a side note, since most people wouldn't be stupid enough to try and steal a tax ship, that just means security is lax, right?

If we just impersonate the tax man after we take them over, then no one feathers will be ruffled, right?

Until we decide to stop playing Shakespear and move on, that is.

>>4525503
That's somewhat accurate. No people are dumb enough to mess with the Celestials. But that doesn't mean they don't have security.
It's there and it IS tough. Just not to the degree one would expect from something so vitally important

>>4525546
So, easily within our malnourished reach then? That's good to hear. Wouldn't want it to be too easy now, would we?

Hina groans as she lays there motionless. She could stand up but right now she feels like sitting for a while. At least until one of her subordinates barges in and disturbing her sulking. He mumbles something at which point Hina realizes her ears are still ringing like crazy. She sticks a finger in and starts rubbing her ear canal.
"WHAT?"

"Are you okay Captain?"

"Sigh. Yes. But I need a light."
She gets a match from the Seaman. This might be her last smoke for the day even though she usually smokes like a chimney. Because nothing is going to beat this one.
"God. Alright let's get back to work! Tell the men to fish out Jango and give Hina a status report. Now!"

"M-Ma'am! Our ship is dead in the water ma'am! The female pirate tore all our sails to shreds."

"Fine. Then we use the paddles."

"No good ma'am. The wheel is also broken. We're sitting ducks. We already called HQ for help."

"And what about the fish-man?"

"We're not 100% sure about the status below deck. A lot of chaos-"

Just as he said that a man beaten black and blue all over the place stumbles in, his uniform hangs off of him in tatters.
"Ensign Jamal reporting for duty! We valiantly hid from the enemy! Luckily the fish-man was merciful. He beat us up buuuut not much."
He says that as if he wasn't about to fall over any second. Well, at least he's alive and didn't suffer any permanent wounds, only long lasting ones. All in all this was a complete travesty.

Hina finishes her cigarette before saying anything to her men. She needs to process this as much as they do. Why was she alive? Every scenario ran through her head when she got knocked out. Either the pirate was going to finish her off and that's that. Alternatively he could've tried to subdue her for a slow death at which point she could reverse things and make sure he can't use that weird scream again. Either way one of them was going to die. But for him to just leave like that? It made no sense to her.

"Anything missing?"
She asks.
"One of them had a huge sack."

"N-Not much Captain. Just some spare weapons and a few nautical charts which are useless without an Eternal Pose to navigate with."

Hina slapped herself on the forehead and groaned.
"Idiots..."
This is bad. With pirates like these ones the word "impossible" is not going to cut it. They'll find a way.
"I need to make a report."

She climbs out of the rubble and makes her way to the den den mushi she just used. It was still on. Great. More trouble. After picking it up and speaking she hears a voice coming from the other side.
"This is comms officer Bradley. May I know WHY is one of my men currently foaming at the mouth and bleeding from the ears?"

"This is Captain Hina speaking. I'll write a detailed report for both you and Marine HQ. You can deduce it from that. Oh... and one more thing. I have a message to Vice-admiral Tsuru. You can tell her to BITE ME!"

She slams down the snail in anger. Shit. She may have gone overboard with that one. Still, this isn't what she signed up for. But she can't quit now can she? Not when she got tangled up with something like that. She can send her report all the way to the Fleet Admiral but the higher ups will just shut him down until the problem becomes too big to ignore at which point it's too late. But things may have actually reached that point. They got their hands at confidential information. Who knows what sort of chaos they can unleash with that? Especially that chaotic captain.

"O-Orders Captain?"

"Yeah... Listen up men! We'll have to wait for supplies and reinforcements! But after that we'll chase down those maggots! Nobody gets away with humiliating the marines! UNDERSTOOD?!"

"HOORAH!"

At this point Fullbody comes back with his unconscious buddy resting on his shoulder.
"Don't worry Captain! We're all behind you 100%! Even if he had such dancing that I felt compassion towards him for a moment... an evil person like that can't keep getting away with this!"

Holy shit man I thought you were dead!

Man German hollow was the shit, I’m gonna go catch up on this in the archives now

I-what? But "Chilly" is the opposite of heat, how-
I am *perplexed*!

Perhaps I should have paid more attention to the way Oda names things

>>4527026
I think they mean "chilly" as in the spicy food.
Pepper Bat has a nice pop to it.

>>4527032
But chilly isn't chili. Nor is it Chile. This is beyond science.

>>4527032
Ooooh... if we'd get a food themed naming going on I could use that as well
Heh. More good wordplay material

>>4527048
We are a Ghost-face Bat right? So if we have an attack that is named Pepper Bat then the stronger version would be Ghost Pepper Bat. And scream/heat based attacks could be named after the Alarm scale for chilli, the higher the number the hotter the blast.

>>4527250
Like the scoville scale? Signifying the attacks strength with a number or heat level?
I dig it.

Maybe we can combine it with the already established sound one.
"0 unit whisper"
"10.000 unit scream"
How does it sound?

>>4527257
I was thinking more like going from Alarm Blast to 5 Alarm Blast. Using scoville units for big attacks works but "0 unit whisper" just doesn't sound good, well I guess it would work for an attack that has some subtler effect.

Got some slight technical problems
Left my usb cable at home, can't use my phone to post the first scene

Your eyes light up as do Marcellas at the prospect of a ship filled to the brim with shiny treasure. You giggle with her while Gu starts counting.
"Hmmmm. Would that be enough to buy new spoons? I'm starting to run out."

But as you're already thinking about spending the money you don't even have yet you get BONK'd on the head by Jaws.
"Don't even think about it."

"OW Jaws! I am the captain so we do what I say!"

"Not if it's stupid. Even if we were full on supplies, which we are not, we don't even know where we are. So before we do anything we should follow the pose, restock and get our bearings. Once we know which island we're on MAYBE we can think about finding that ship."

After hearing him out you decide it's all bologne and you'll go after the treasure ship anyway but a second BONK quickly changes your mind. So it's full sails ahead to the next island. The problem is that you don't exactly know how far that is. Turns out, quite far. Far enough for you to encounter one of th Grand Lines famous storms. For four days and nights you struggle against the elements with people rotating between resting and backbreaking labor on deck or in the hull.

But even though most of your sails are in tatters, even though your main mast is cracked and even though all your clothes are wetter than the sea floor, you survived. Yet the clouds did not part. It's still raining enough that not even you want to go out and play in it. But at least the sea is calm now.

"BORED."
You cry whilst locked in the mess hall with everyone else.

"So read your Bible..."
Marcella off-handedly dismisses you.

"TOO Bored!"
You headbutt the table. This isn't what you signed up for when hoisting the black flag.

You look around the room to see how your crewmembers are warding off the mindnumbing dullness. Gu is concocting some warm soup to revitalize the crew. But it looks like something died in it. Hagetaka is sitting at the other side of the table carving some wood. Murray is squatting with his back to the wall, several glasses of water are resting still on his body. And Marcella is reading todays newspaper, how she acquired a dry piece of paper is a mystery to you.
Perhaps you can help/annoy one of them.

You slide over to Angel, completely disregarding her personal space.
"What are you doing?"

"I'm carving a totem. It brings luck and looks nice. We used to sell it for a lot to unsuspecting tourists who don't know any better."

"Is that a bear?"

"Correct. I'm surprised you're so well versed in rare and exotic animals. Indeed it is the fabled bear."
Looks like an ordinary brown bear to you. If it were a panda or a red panda you'd have something else to say about it but as it stands it's just a bear.
"We have many totems like this one. All from the time before our great migration. So I've never seen any of them. We have things like the South Bird or the Great Serpent-"
Both of those sound infinitely more interesting than a regular bear. You'd like to tell her that bears aren't that special but you'll let her have her dreams.
"Would you like to try making one?"

"Actually I was thinking if you could finish my tattoo."

"Ah yes, I almost forgot. Certainly. But could you wait for a bit? I'd like to finish this."

You nod and watch her slicing away at the piece of wood. To you it already looked like a bear enough but as she continued it became more detailed and lifelike. It was less like she was carving an image into the material and more like it was already there and she just freed it. Once she's satisfied she puts down her carving knife, cleans off the table and has you lay down on it stomach first and half naked. She sits on top of you and begins jamming her pointy instrument in your skin with the same zeal she was carving the wood. But as you lay there you start feeling BORED again. This is nowhere near as exciting as you thought. The only interesting part is the tattoo being applied to your skin and you can't exactly see that.

Maybe some small talk would help pass the time.

"You seem fond of your old home. What was it like?"

"I've never actually been there. We moved away a long long time ago. Before me or my grandma were born."
She seems, it's hard to put into words what she looks and sounds like as she carries with herself a sadness you've never quite felt before. It's not quite like the sharp pain you felt before, more like a dull pressure that slowly erodes ones mind.
"I told you there was a sickness in our homeland didn't I? Nobody knew where it came from, some said it was because God was angry with us-"
That doesn't sound like the guy you know.
"Mostly those who didn't want to leave no matter what. They thought if God forgave us for the bad things we did he'd spare us. But some of us were... afraid. Those were my ancestors. They left our great home of Jaya for safety."

"But it did work didn't it?"

"Yes. And they never returned. Both because they didn't know how to and because they thought the sickness would claim them."

"Then that's a good thing. No? Why are you sad?"

"It doesn't matter. It doesn't concern you. But we are told the full story when we are little. We know what we abandoned when we left our home. You know, our home was more to us than a place to live. It was where our ancestors lived in spirit. And it was the place where my people had a very important task. When my ancestors left... they were branded cowards and traitors."
Angel is now sniffling as she tries to hold back her tears.
"Truth be told. Sometimes I wish they didn't leave. Even if it means I wouldn't have been born!"

"Well that's the stupidest thing I've heard..."
You feel a powerful prick as she jabs the needles into your flesh in a not so friendly manner.

"What. Did you. Just SAY?"

"Because if you were not born how could I have met you?"

You feel her hand shake for a little and then it draws the brush out of you.
"I'm... sorry Silver."

"For what?"

"Never mind. Do you have an idea for a design yet? I'm about done with the basic outlines."

"How about the sea? Can you do that?"

"I guess. But wouldn't that be a bit bland?"

"Hmmmm. Okay! then how about a HUGE bat coming out of the waves? And it's on FIRE! And have everyones names written in the water!"

"Well now you swung over to the other side. No matter. I think we can do that. But the names might be a bit much. You don't have enough skin. How about just the initials?"

"Okay!"

The procedure continues without much of an issue, though the boat rocking back and forth did earn you a couple of more painful jabs but that's about it. Finally you get to see the result of the painful operation with the help of a mirror. A flaming, screaming bat erupting from the waves with the initials of the others strewn across the heavens above. A bit gaudy but it's nothing less than what you deserve. When done you give Angel a big ol' hug which makes her drop her tool on the ground and everyone briefly stop what they are doing to watch.
"THANK YOU!"

Quickly parting from her you run outside and let the rainstorm cleanse your body. The water carries the blood from your back and washes it clean so your new tattoo is proudly displayed for all to see. Liberating.
Almost as much as what you see next.

The clouds part and the sea calms down. After almost an entire week the sun has shown itself. Finally some stability, meaning you entered the climate of a nearby island. The temperature rapidly changes to a much warmer, much drier one, meaning you're about to find a Summer Island. Quickly you get your crew to come out and double their efforts. You got a port to find! In a few hours you finally see that blessed landmass. A bright yellow jewel pierces the endless blue of the sea.
"LAND HO!"

Your excitement mounts to the point that you feel like jumping off the ship and flying over there. Luckily Marcella stops you from doing anything reckless.
"Hold on a minute! Silver! Aren't you forgetting something? We have a jolly roger now! Everyone will know we're pirates now. Do you get what I'm saying?"

"Fine, fine. We'll do it your way. OKAY! I'll take the wheel!"
But you get cucked out of that bit of fun as well when Jaws takes control of the ship.

"Sorry Captain. Can't have you joyriding again and get us spotted."

"Yosh!"
Marcella claps her hands together and feels ecstatic about taking charge for once.
"Take us away from the port Murray! We'll find ourselves a nice little beach and anchor down!"

Angel keeps an eye on the town you see in the distance and she keeps you updated regarding its position. Sailing far away from it you pass by a cave but the others quickly shut off any attempt you make to steer them towards it. Same with the small river leading inland. Along the way you pass by several small settlements along the coast, all of which appear to be long abandoned. Instead you follow Hooks instructions and dock in a beach in another corner of the island. That should be far enough that nobody will easily find you but not far enough for the journey to be too inconvenient, at least that's the idea.

After securing the ship you take a boat to the beach and take your first step on dry land in a WHILE. Unfortunately your eagerness is dampened quite a bit as you realize just how hot and dry the air is here. Jaws especially is taking it bad.
"Oh what the hell is this?"
He asks as he looks over the area. It's a desert alright, just not the sandy kind. There are rocky formations all over the place and the ground is cracked like your lips are about to be. You notice a fly which was onboard your ship finally take its leave. It gets about five meters away from you before it combusts in a puff of flame.
"This does not bode well."

"Neither does that."
You point forward and alert the others to another anomaly.
A figure can be seen in the distance. It's far away but it's getting closer. You watch for about ten minutes as the small figure gets close enough to make out what it is. It's a camel, crawling on all fours, drawing a line in the dirt behind it. And it looks like it's about to die of thirst.

"We're so gonna die-"
"We're so gonna die-"
"We're so gonna die-"
"We're so gonna die-"

Man Silver really got screwed over by being a slave. 5'5" for life sounds pretty miserable.

It's impossible to tell exactly how long your log will take to pick up the next islands magnetic signal, not to mention your food and water reserves are dwindling. So despite nobody really wanting it you're forced to cross the rocky desert in search of civilization. At first it's not too bad, the scenery is pretty and you have fun with passing by tumbleweed, tumblesnakes and tumblelizards. But curling up into a ball and rolling around looses its charm after a while and the less is said about the heat the better. Your crewmembers are taking the scorching, arid weather rather poorly, especially Jaws whose skin is quickly drying out and turning brown. And now you're starting to crave fried fish for some reason.

"How big... is this desert?"
Marcella complains with her tongue hanging out. She long since took off her suit and pulled it over her head to protect it from the sun. The others had to take similar measures. Maybe your chosen attires were not cut out for this island after all.

"It's shame we didn't see a port coming here, huh?"

"Who the hell told Silver about sass? I'll kill them... And how the hell aren't you sweating?"
Marcella keeps talking as if to distract herself from her condition.

"I don't know. I feel fine."

But the rest definitely don't. Gu already took off his scarf and half scaring Angel to death, Murray tried spitting up some water just so he could drink a bit and only dust came out, Marcella is already contemplating removing even her shirt and Hagetaka already borrowed your suit just so she could cover her exposed skin. You'll need to do something about it because jerky does not make for good companions.

If silver's devil fruit can generate heat, then maybe he can control the heat around him?
It might be possible for him to push the heat out of the air around him...

>>4531210
He's not an AC. His body temperature is just high. If he tried that all he'd do is heat up the air even more

You tell the others to have a little rest under the shade of one of the mountains while you go ahead and search for something to make the journey a bit easier. Shortly after leaving them behind you manage to find exactly the kind of thing you wanted through sheer luck and a bit of listening to the ground. A run down but functional cart can be seen half sticking out of the ground, next to it are a bunch of skeletons lying around and what appears to be hands coming out of the ground. With this many skeletons it must've been quite a party!

You carefully examine the cupped hands and realize they are made out of wood. And that they are holding some sort of mystery liquid that looks thick, syrupy and has a lot of stuff floating in it. You think to yourself "Hey! Free soup!" and quickly drink the whole thing because it doesn't look any worse than what Gu usually serves you. It's not bad, tastes kinda like a devil fruit. You end up drinking the whole thing to gather your strength for lifting the cart out of the sand. But before you could begin you hear the sound of guns being cocked. You look around and see about half a dozen men on horsebacks, aiming their guns at you. They start laughing while their leader speaks.

"Well well well what do we have here? A'ight boy, put 'em up! No funny stuff now. Just empty ye'r pockets and we won't have no problem."

You sigh and walk up to him, completely disregarding the pistol in your face and with a simple motion bury the head of his horse in the ground. After yanking him out of the saddle you whoop his ass so hard his bandit friends forget to stop you out of sheer terror. After beating him and his horse black and blue you hold him by the collar and look him in the eye.
"Say sorry."

"SORRY! SORRY! PLEASE! NO MORE!"

"Good. Now the rest."
They also say sorry, hell they even get off their horses and bow down while apologizing. Now that you've diffused the situation with your eloquence and quick thinking you have a small band of armed bandits at your mercy. What to do...

>Okay you can go now. Try not to cause any more trouble
>Their clothing seems more suited to this climate. Have them strip
>Make them pull your cart
>Other?

>>4531215
That's smart... too smart.

>"Now, you boys are gonna tell me what i want to know, understand?"

>3. Do you fine gentlemen happen to have bounties on your heads? I could use a quick buck.

Going with one piece logic could Silver use Ember by shedding fur while his body temperature is high enough?

You see an opportunity and take your chance. With a smug grin you slap their leader and speak up while trying to sound as tough as you can manage.
"Now, you boys are gonna tell me what I want to know. Understand?"
He tries to say yes but you slap him again, not quite getting how this is supposed to go.
"You tell me what I want to know. Nothing else. Understand? Now. Where are we? What's the name of the island?"

"T-This 'ere land is the land of Bandera s-sir!"

You slap him again.
"Captain."

"CAPTAIN!"

You slap him yet again.
"Now where's the nearest town? And don't lie or I'll slap you again!"

"It be thataway! The port town o' Portland! Stupid name we know but what can ya do? That there is the capital o' the whole o' Bandera captain!"

"Huh... that small place? Aren't there any bigger towns?"

"Nope! Now folks say there used to be but who knows? That was so long ago we wasn't even born. Only our grampappys knew of that place."

"Wow. That must've been long ago indeed."

"Actually it been only about 20 years."

"B-But you guys look so old-"

"We be brothers captain! The Jenkins Brothers! I be Billy Jenkins and I'm 19 years ol' I am!"

"Ah so you have a name then! Do you guys happen to have any bounties on your heads? I need some pocket money-"

He starts protesting and saying how they don't. In fact they are wanted but they have exactly 0 belly on their heads. The reason being is that the local sheriff is a mighty son of a gun who'll hunt 'em all down no matter what for no money. What a strange place. At first you don't even believe it but they do appear to be telling the truth. At least they don't sound like they are lying. Nodding you leave Billy Jenkins behind for just long enough for him to get comfortable. But then you lift the cart out of the sand with one hand, put it down and tell them that now they'll be the ones pulling it.

With your new carriage drawn by the horses and the bandits riding them you return to your crew. Truth be told at first they thought they were hallucinating when they saw horses walking on two legs and pulling a cart with a rope but once you came in view they understood it all perfectly. You had everyone sit down while the brothers and their equines do all the hard work. Along the way you ask a few other questions from them like how many towns there are and if there are any other places of interest.

Apparently the island is quite big and peppered with several small settlements here and there. But they all answer to a central leadership which is located in Portland. It was moved there because some years ago a great drought ravaged the land, leaving the big city in ruins. Now only small towns can survive with what limited resources there are. Out of all of them Portland is the most prosperous thanks to it being the only place with a port. They mainly survive through the extensive trade and the import of vast quantities of water.

As to your second question the Jenkins brothers don't have many answers to that. Apparently outside of civilized areas the whole island is just one giant death trap. But they do tell you about a place called the Devils Bumhole that everyone should avoid at all cost. Supposedly it's a place so dangerous you'll die if you get anywhere near it. But they don't actually get to tell you more about it as you arrive within viewing distance of Portland. Once that happens Billy Jenkins gets on his knees and starts pleading to you.

"Sir- ER! Captain please! If you have a heart in ya' you won't make us go there! The sheriff and the mayor will have us hanged if they catch us!"

>They earned their freedom. They can go
>You'll take us there. But I promise you won't get hanged
>I don't care
>Other?

>>4531298
>You'll take us there. But I promise you won't get hanged.
Can we use them as deckhands? Do crews in One Piece typically have such simple members?

>>4531298
>They earned their freedom. They can go

>>4531302
Yes they do. Most do in fact.
The Straw Hats are actually the exception in almost every category when it comes to pirate crews

>>4531298
>>You'll take us there. But I promise you won't get hanged

>>4531302
Do you really want these guys in the crew?

>>4531313
They don't have to be strong, and they seem to be terrified of us, so I don't really see them trying anything on us. I don't see any downsides to it.

>>4531298
>>You'll take us there. But I promise you won't get hanged
>From this day forward, you're now deckhands of the silver pirates! You'll enjoy such luxuries as food, water, and honest labor!

"Kekeke!"

"Oh no-"
Your entire crew with the exception of Angel sighs. They know what is coming.

"Don't worry about that guys! I won't let you guys get hanged!"

"W-Why not?"

You slap Billy across the face one last time.
"Because I don't let my crewmembers get hurt!"
At this point you get jumped by Jaws, Hook and Toxin each one of the vying to strangle you personally. They don't seem to agree with your recruitment policy and say that you shouldn't just invite every random schmuck you meet. But you roar at them that you'll invite whomever you please even if they'll just be deckhands or emergency food in the case of the horses. They beat you up mercilessly but you stroll into town with the Jenkins brothers regardless.

But you don't get far before you get stopped by a weirdo riding a white horse. He stops your wagon and takes a closer look at the people pulling it. They appear to be scared shitless of him.
"Well I'll be. If it ain't the Jenkins Brothers. Damn if it doesn't feel good seeing y'all lookin' like this! But I'm a bit confused. Y'all'd be so kind as to explain to me what in Sam Hell am I lookin' at here? And who in tarnation would you be? I ain't never seen any guys or gals with mugs like yours-"

"Hi. I'm Silver!"

"Silver hmmm?"
The man reaches into a pocket on his saddle and takes out a stack of papers from it. He quickly flips through them before pulling one out.
"Ah I knew I've seen you somewhere. A pirate hmmm? Well whoever you are I must thank ye' for deliverin' us from these little hooligans. They've been makin' all sorts o' trouble 'round these parts. Now if you'll excuse me I'll take 'em off your hand."

"No."

The cowboy freezes for a moment but he just adjusts his hat and chuckles.
"Wow. I almost pity you lads. Here I am tryin' to give you a nice quick hangin' but then mister pirate comes in and decides to make y'all suffer longer."
He then turns his attention back to you.
"Sorry 'bout that. I admit I'm a bit sad to not see these guys get what's due but somehow I doubt I could match what y'all have in store for 'em. Name's Luke, Luke McKinsey. I'm the Sheriff 'round these parts. You pirates right?"

"Yup."

"If you don't mind me askin' where did y'all dock? Y'know we have a port 'ere, right?"

You shoot a smug glance at Marcella but right now she's too overwhelmed with the heat to even care about it anymore. She just waves you off and you reply to the sheriff.
"We got lost in a storm and docked at a beach. Did not see the town."

"Ah that makes sense. Well let me be the one to welcome you to Bandera. We a Worl' Gov'ment affiliated country but we don't take it too seriously. 'S long as you don' break our rules we're fine with you. So cause no trouble and enjoy your stay."

>>4531392
hey this time it wasn't me okay? blame the dice

>>4531395
The dice want him to be ara bait. Unsure if cultured or deviant dice. More investigation required.

Bonny is DEFINITELY not ara ara
Bonny is reverse-rape at best. And the angry kind

Woah she takes him out to dinner first? And she's MAD about it? She skips straight to married couple looking for a divorce. Nice.

"So apparently they are okay with pirates here! Cool!"

"Silver... please... I'll listen to your jabs all day. Just... water!"

"Sorry sorry! Well, you heard her! Take us to water!"

But the brothers don't move. Instead they just stare at you like at some sort of an abomination. They ask if you're crazy or not because talking back to the Sheriff like that is tantamount to suicide. Apparently he's the only law enforcer on the entire island. And aside the Jenkins Brothers themselves there are hardly any more criminals left. Sounds scary but he hasn't done anything to anger or intimidate you so it doesn't matter.

You get to the local watering hole after calming your "horses" down a bit and your crewmembers almost have to crawl in they are so exhausted. You park the Jenkins brothers in the shade and go in after your crew. The place doesn't really feel like any tavern you've been to. There's no music, hardly anybody in there and it's dirty as hell with piles upon piles of plates towering above you, threatening to burry the whole place should someone bump into them hard enough. The only other people in there aside you are crowded around a single woman who seems to be responsible for this mess. She keeps shoving food down her gullet, loudly burping occasionally and always demanding more food even whilst chewing.

You decide to ignore her for now because she's loud, nasty and you got more important things to do. The bartender didn't even want to serve you as he was busy hiding under the counter. He seems to be in a state of shock, muttering "please no more" over and over again. After a few snaps of your finger you manage to get his attention and order drinks for everyone. But before everyone could get their share of water or milk a sizable chicken bone flies past your head, breaking a bottle on the wall.
"HEY! WHAT'S THE HOLD-UP?! I NEED MORE PIZZA NOW!"

>Ignore that and ask the bartender about the town and the island
>Walk over and kindly ask her to keep it down. Your friends are very thirsty
>Let's see how she likes it when you butt into her business. Start ordering food...
>Other?

>>4531421
>Walk over and kindly ask her to keep it down. Your friends are very thirsty

>>4531433
Yea she's acting like a kid right now, more so than Silver, which is actually impressive.

I'll third this, getting water is a priority.

You ignore that chicken bone even though you see some scraps of cartilage on it and instead help the bartender forget the pain of having a girl eat him out of house and home for a little bit.
"Ice tea for everyone please. And milk for me."

The confused guy takes a good look at your crew and realizes how dire the situation is. He produces a pitcher of iced tea for each of them and gets you a barrel of milk after you correct him about how much you want. You pay him right afterwards, earning a few happy tears from him. He probably thinks that if that woman behind you doesn't pay he'll become destitute. To help him forget more you start asking him about things here because you really need information. You do remember a few things the others were wondering about like how long it takes for the pose to set or if you can buy supplies anywhere. Sadly you forgot the details so you don't make much sense. But the bartender is quite used to talking with drunk people who are almost as bad as you are at speaking.

"Well if you want to know it takes about 9 days for the pose to set here. As for supplies, you're in luck because this is the only town that has more than one store. Because we have the only functioning port. Sadly unless you want to buy guns you won't find anything local. Even the water gets imported here."

"Why?"

"Haven't you seen? Everything is dry. It hardly ever rained here but about 20 years ago we lost almost all our drinking water. No water, no farms, no food. We even lost the thing that made us famous, you see we used to have this thing called "oyul". Wonderful thing it was. You could set it on fire and it'd burn so well. It heated our homes, lit our streets and so much more. Now we have nothing but our old mines."

"Mines?"

"Yeah. Just about the only not worthless things on this island. We have rich lead and silver mines. We sell it all so we can buy our essential supplies. Part of the reason why we can be part of the World Government despite being so poor."

"Really? Why?"

"Well... I'm not supposed to tell you but what the hell you seem like decent folk. Our buyers are two of the famous Shichibukai! Sir Crocodile the hero of Alabasta and Donquixote Doflamingo the king of Dressrosa! Isn't that something?"

"It sure is!"

As you keep talking with the old guy your friends are done chugging their pitchers and slam them down, completely rehydrated and ready to roll.
"Ah! Much better! Oy Silver! What are you talking about?"

"I have no idea Hook!"
*sip*

"Figures. HEY OLD MAN! Does this dustball have a place where we can buy some clothes?"

"Erm... yes we do?"

"Great!"
Marcella slams on the table and gets the others to do the same.
"I might as well throw these rags out because they are more sweat than clothes! Seriously, your country SUCKS! Okay guys who's with me?"
They all raise their hands.

"Don't need to remind us..."

As they leave Marcella ruffles your hair and actually shows some gratitude for dragging them out of the desert. Then to restore balance she tells you to not do anything stupid while they are gone and calls you an idiot. After they leave you ask the owner for another round of milk to go and after paying, prepare to head out as well. While the others are gone you're free to explore the place for anything interesting! However as you reach the exit you hear something.

"Hey, kid."
It's not even her calling out to you that makes you stop but the sudden lack of plates cluttering.
"Watch yourself out there. This place reeks of death."

"I heard..."

That's all for today.
With that the intro is done. If it all works out this will be our first adult sized adventure
I'll try to run on Friday or Saturday. One or the other. Will try to update in time
Have a good night

Alright, thanks for the run Spooky

>>4531479
Thanks for running

It was fun, as always. I'm really liking this place. I like westerns a lot, so this should be fun.

Ah shit time to step on Crocoboy and Joker's toes

Not going to run today. Busy.
Saturday should be good though. 15:00 GMT

>>4531920
Funny thing is, it would hardly even matter. Doffy has like a million connections and he's a "busy man" jacking it to SMILEing as we speak. Him loosing a single supplier of lead won't earn his animosity just a few hired assassins just for appearances
Crocoboy would take it personally because he actually needs the silver but... we know what's happening right now
