Wealth, fame, power. Gold Roger the king of the pirates obtained this and everything else the world had to offer. And his dying words drove countless souls to the seas.
"You want my treasure? You can have it! I left everything I gathered together in one place. Now you just have to find it!"
While you may not have found the fabled treasure One Piece just yet, you got something almost as good. CRABS. Through many headaches you managed to secure your new "cannonballs" in the lowermost part of the hold. They are a rowdy little bunch and it took some careful training to make them comfortable just sitting down there. You even bought each of them individual cages so they could sleep in them. And in those couple days when you were herding bugs things moved along nicely in the town. Naturally things weren't going smoothly at first with people naturally hating the other party. But once they got over their mutual disdain for each other they realized they may have something to talk about afterwards. The benefits of having the Scourge around were not immediately apparent but it didn't take much for the scientists of the city to realize their potential.

Now it's starting to look like that the two sides will come to an agreement of sorts, if the news are to be believed. With the Wind Riders offering to hunt down and catch more of the scourge for the city so they could use them in some sort of a new power plant, in exchange for removing all the windmills and obtrusive machinery plaguing their lands. However neither side is lacking in people too caught up in their old rivalries and you can hear many disgruntled talks in the local places like the pubs. Apparently they don't like working together with those "stinky barbarians". And most likely there are people on the other side as well.

In the end you decided to-

>Find any troublemakers and beat them up real nice
>Sit back and watched things unfold
>Other?

-beat some people up!

As the negotiations happened anyone that got any funny ideas quickly found themselves in a dark corner surrounded by very angry pirates, regardless if they were wind riders or outsiders. And while this did not initially yield any results, after the sixth or seventh guy who talked about starting trouble was found eating through a straw people started to get the idea and things proceeded smoothly. The agreement has been made and it looked like things were improving. While first only a few of the crabs were traded the need for them quickly grew so the occasional and much hated trade caravans became quite popular and started dealing in more than just the crustaceans. In exchange the wind riders got more from the trades, such as advanced pieces of technology to help their mobile settlements.

Even the Scourge, which were quickly dubbed Cannonbugs by city dwellers became popular. It became obvious that they have far more uses beyond sticking them in a hamster wheel and watch them generate near unlimited amounts of energy. They became coveted for their tasty meat and their hard shells. But strangest of all is that some children took a liking to them as they were quite useful in various ball games AND made excellent pets. Indeed by the time your pose set you could see people leading cannonbugs on leashes or carry them on their shoulders.So while things are still not entirely positive as there is still quite a bit of hostility between the more volatile elements, at least the general populace is starting to warm up to the idea of cooperation with the other side. And that brings you to the matter at hand, leaving. With the log pose set for its new destination you are all ready to depart in search of new adventure. But not before saying goodbye. Making your way up to the Sunflower House alone you are greeted by Mother Ann who's currently putting out the laundry to dry.

"Ah Silver! Good morning!"

"Hello."

"You guys are leaving today, are you not? My how the time passes."

"Yeap. Is Will around? Or is he playing with his friends?"

"No. He's sulking in his room all alone. He's a little confused about, well, everything. But I'll be sure to sit down with him and have a talk. He'll come around."

"Ah. He still doesn't like the Towel guys. And the other kids?"

"Oh, them? Funny you should mention that. Some of the wind riders came. The ones who lost their children in all this stupid warring. They asked me if it would be possible for them to adopt some of the children. I said sure, but only if both halves agree. They are currently getting to know the kids. Naturally William refused. Anyway, if you want to you can talk with him in his room. I'm sure he'd want to say goodbye."

"Okay!"
You don't waste much time and go inside. After knocking on the door to the childrens room you hear a "GO AWAY" from inside. So you kick down the door.
"Yo!"

"S-Silver? What do you want?"

I... I feel conflicted. I kinda want him with us, but he feels too much like a liability.

But I would like Ann to come with us.

I kind of assume that's not possible without Will? If not, then I'll change my vote to
>Hey kid wanna be a pirate?
>>
>>4599952
Yeah. You can take Will without Ann but not the reverse
>writing
>>
You rush up to Will and get so up in his face your eyeballs are practically touching each other. As the boy tries to crawl away he hits a wall and finds himself stuck with you. With a massive grin you finally ask him the question you wanted to ask for a while now.
"Hey Will! We're leaving now! Wanna come with?"

"E-Eh? What?"

"Come on! It'll be fun! We can be pirates! PIRATES!"

"N-No but I'm just a kid! I'm not strong enough! And I sometimes wet the bed!"

"Naaaaah! Forget about it! You'll learn! Come on! ADVENTURE! The Sea!"

"NO! I don't wanna!"

"Ah nonsense! Come on!"

You grab him by the arm and start dragging him out the door. The only reason you stop is because you realize he hasn't packed anything so you grab some random pieces of clothing and toss them on him while also grabbing a sauce pan and put it on his head. As you leave through the front door he howls like a banshee and starts crying. Ann notices this and rushes up to you to see what's wrong.
"W-Will? What happened? Are you hurt? Do you need something?"

"Nah! He's just a little nervous! He'll get better once at sea!"

"AT SEA?!"

"Yeah. He's my buddy! And I'll make him a pirate!"

"Just wait Silver! You can't do that! He's just a kid!"

"So? I wanted to be a pirate when I was a kid. I would've loved to sail when I was his age! Come on! Look how happy he is!"

"SAVE MEEEEEEHEEEEHEEEE!"

Ann nervously looks around and crosses her arms in a last ditch effort.
"I won't allow that! I may be a sham but I'm still the matron of this orphanage! As such William is under my protection! I can't let you drag him off against his will!"

You let go of the boy and sit down on the ground, scratching your head.
"Well that's a pickle. I guess you're right."
But it feels like a lightbulb turned on in your head and you smash your fist into your palm in realization.
"I know! I'll just adopt him! That's how that works right?"

"W-What?"
Wills crying stops.

"Hmmm? Am I wrong? Don't really know how it works, just guessing. You go into an orphanage and adopt a kid if you want one right?"

"You want me? You really want me? You want to be my family?"

"What are you stupid?"
You snap at him.
"That was the plan from the start! That's what crewmembers are! Family!"

Snot begins to drip from Wills nose as he's sniffling and trying to suppress his tears. But unfortunately for him he's a big wimp and starts crying and pulls the pan over his eyes. His crying gets a bit annoying so you turn away from him and start trying to come up with a solution to the problem. But it appears that this is entirely pointless as Ann breaks just as easily. She begins quickly wiping her eyes with her hands as she realizes she has no right to stop this from happening.
"F-Fine! But listen to me Silver! You will keep him safe you hear? Being a parent is a big responsibility! And if you fail him even once I'll cross the Grand Line myself to remind you! GOT IT?!"

Hey Spooky, random question, if the Cannonbugs are like how they are due to ingesting sea stone to the point ingesting it would cause a sea kidney stone eventually, then could someone covered in their blood hit a Logia due to the sea stone in it?

"What are you talking about? You're coming with obviously!"

"WHAT?"
"WHAT?"

You grab Ann by the waist and throw her on your shoulder while tucking Will under your other arm and start walking towards the docks as the two of them try their best to resist you by beating on your back and chest respectively.
"You really ARE crazy Silver! Put me down THIS INSTANCE!"

"No! I want you on my crew! Who do you think I am? I don't know how to raise KIDS! Not in this economy! So you'll help me!"
As you stroll through town the various citizens just watch and wave at you as you carry two people who clearly don't want to come with you. Some of them even laugh and encourage you to keep going and take them away. What a nice bunch of people! "Hey Silver! Heading out?"

"Yeap!"

"And you took Mother Ann? Niiiiice!"

"Yeap! I'm kidnapping them! BYE!"

As you get closer to the Dauntless Ann keeps protesting and screaming so that someone, anyone will come and help her.
"SAVE ME! SOMEONE! I DO NOT CONSENT TO THIS!"

You toss her in the air a little to make her shut up.
"Come on quit being a big baby! It'll be fun! You won't be alone anymore."

"Huh?"

"The other kids will be adopted and now Will is gone. You'll be alone again. So this way you can be with us! You wanted to be like a pirate as well right? That's why you don't turn into a spider and just slip out! So shut up and let me kidnap you already! AND LET'S BE CRIMINALS TOGTHER!"

The others see you arriving and help you carry your kidnapees onboard. As you plop down the two crying figures Toxin, Angel and Jaws prepare to set sails while Stitches and Hook go up to Ann and Will. Lyda begins patting Will on the head.
"T-There there. It's okay! I know how you feel. Come. I'll show you around the ship."

Meanwhile Marcella glares at Ann until she finally stops crying and with a sigh helps her stand up.
"A'ight. Guess you're one of us now. Knew I was talking to a brick wall when I tried to convince him otherwise."

Ann composes herself and looks at the pirate she hates so much.
"Will that be a problem?"

"What? You think I'm here because I wanted to be here?!"

Jaws grins as he starts untying the sails.
"That's right. Most of us are here because Silver took a liking to us. But now we're all part of the same crew. Hell, remember how I was fighting against Marcella back on your island? It's all water under the bridge on the ship!"

"Y-You people-"

"KEKEKE! That's right! NOW! Set sails everyone! You'll get to know each other soon enough!"

It will take some time for these two to adjust to their new lives. Will in particular has a very weak stomach and gets very close to getting sick but Lyda, learning from her own experience supplied some nausea medicine to both of them. The others naturally take their fair share out of educating Will and Ann about how things work, read: they do all the explaining while you just laze around. But it will be a long time before they get used to the sea. Ann however is already trying to make herself useful as she comes up to you and after much apologizing she does give you a present, something which you've been wanting for a while now. A hammock!

"WHOOOOA! This for me?"

"Yes. I erm, I thought it'd be appropriate to thank you somehow. I actually dreamt about going out to sea and seeing the world. But I never would've gathered the courage to ask someone to take me away. So... Thank you!"

You pull on the hammock and make it do a loud TWANG.
"Did you make this with your butt?"

BONK
"FOUL MOUTHED BRAT!"

"Heh. I'm actually starting to like the chaste whore now!"
Marcella laughs as Ann continues to beat you over the head.

But as you're being brutalized Will, who went up to the crows nest to experience what the world is like from up there spots something.
"Erm. Everyone! There's smoke over there!"

"Hmmmm?"
You run away from the nun and up the nose of the ship. Sure enough there is black smoke rising from the waves far away.
"Cool! FULL SAIL AHEAD PEOPLE! I want to check that out!"

Your crew gets on that and you sail closer to the source of the black clouds. But immediately they start regretting that as this may have been a mistake. Pieces of driftwood appear on the water with various other refuse. And you start seeing more and more as you keep going. Something big and nasty must've happened here and it must've been very recent. You order the ship to stop as you transform into a bat to scout ahead. You see something which might give you a clue as to what transpired but you just don't see it. Two pieces of wood floating close together. "INE" and "MAR" are written on them. As you settle down on one of them in your small bat form and scratch your head as to what that could mean your acute ears pick up the distinct sounds of someone moaning and coughing up water. You fly over to check out what it is and see a guy in a white uniform holding onto a large piece of driftwood.

"GASP! A drowning chef!"

"I'm... a marine... please... help!"

"Hmmmm."

Marine he says? Well that's no good. But he is in a tight spot and will die if you leave him. Then again he IS your enemy and he would either leave you to die or rescue you just so he could kill you.

At least if you choose not to be an asshole, you can have a smug sense of superiority.

"Hmmmmm. Drowning is not good. I drank enough sea water to know that. Okay. I'll help you."

"T-Thank... you... you're a saint. Please. Get help. Quick!"

"Getting."
You fly up a bit higher and transform into a hybrid so you can lift the marine out of the water with your claws. After grabbing him by the shoulder and taking to the air with him you start questioning him about some necessary stuff.
"So how did you guys end up here? You think any of your friends survived?"

"No... It's a miracle I lived... We were attacked. Please. Hurry."

You get back to the Dauntless and the others flock to you once they see you carrying a body. But before they could ask anything you give them some orders. Gu goes and prepares some food for him while Lyda is examining him for any injuries, which he has several of. Broken bones, a punctured lung, sea water in the stomach. The guy is practically half dead already. But with her expertise in operations she manages to fix most of his internal issues and resolves the rest with her devil fruit. This stabilizes him enough that he can eat some hot soup but shortly afterwards he looses consciousness from the exhaustion. Jaws carries him inside and puts him to rest at the infirmary as per your instructions before the crew gathers up to discuss things.

"Well that's just swell! We got a marine on our ship! Oh well. Not like we didn't have one before. Let's just dump him on an island like the rest once he recovers."

"While I agree with Marcella-"
Jaws interjects.
"I think we should worry more about what did all this. Judging by all that garbage floating on the water that must've been one big ship. Or simply a lot of small ships. Whatever did that must've been pretty dangerous."

"Murray is right. We should leave these waters as soon as possible. Do you see it? No blood, no corpses. So much destruction..."

Angel and Jaws seem to be in agreement alongside Stitches who's just a scaredycat who wants to run away. But Ann doesn't seem to share their opinion.
"We should search the water for more survivors. But first let me put William away before he sees something he shouldn't!"

"Leave me I wanna see!"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYOf5DPBX8I

But as you wonder about how to proceed from here you fail to notice Toxin tugging at your shoulder.
"Erm guys?"
He keeps prodding you to try and get ANYONES attention.
"Guys? GUYS!"

You turn around and see that the freakin' SUN is gone! A big shadow looms over you as a ship bigger than any you've ever seen before rides up to you. How the HELL did something that big manage to sneak up on you and remain completely SILENT?! Well however it did and whatever it is, it's something that manages to make even you drop your jaw as the sheer SIZE of that thing is too hard to comprehend. How is it even staying afloat?!

Several shadows even more imposing than that of the ship itself appear looking down on you. One of them speaks up.
"Hey-yoi!"

"AAAAH! IT'S A TALKING PINEAPPLE! AND IT'S RIDING A GIANT WHALE!"

Jaws quickly reaches over to you and clamps your mouth shut with his hand. He gulps nervously as he looks up.
"No Silver! Look! This is-"

"The legendary-"

"The strongest-"

"The unbeatable-"

Jaws, Hook, Toxin and Angel all shout while Lyda and Ann faint from the shock and Will is just staring at these living titans in front of him. And you're stuck there as not even biting manages to get Murray to let you go. So you slip out with a quick little transformation and reversion. But even now that you're freed you can't help but gasp at what's before you. There aren't many things you know off the top of your head but even you know to recognize that symbol. And that there is NOBODY stupid enough to carry it without belonging to that one group.

"WHITEBEARD PIRATES!"
"WHITEBEARD PIRATES!"
"WHITEBEARD PIRATES!"
"WHITEBEARD PIRATES!"

The various figures looking down at you either smile at this or don't even recognize your astonishment. And the one guy that spoke up before keeps shouting down at you.
"Oy-yoi! You guys are pirates? Who's the captain?"

You step up and transform into a bat hybrid. Flying up you float in front of them so you can look them in the eye.
"Me."

"Ah good. I'm Marco, the first division commander of the White Beard Pirates. And you-yoi?"

"Silver, Silver of the Silver pirates."

"Commander, shall we deal with him?"

"No need guys. Just trying to ask a few questions from him. Hey Silver. As you can see we're in a bit of a hurry here. We're looking for a Marine. You don't happen to have seen any-yoi?"

You look around.
"You guys did this?"

"Yeah. They had the bright idea to attack one of our islands. That means we had to remind them why that's a bad idea-yoi. So, seen any Marines lately?"

You carefully look over these guys. They are strong. Ludicrously strong. Even the guys that are clearly the fodder are super strong. Sure you could maybe take on one or two or a couple at most. But the others? Yeah they'd struggle one on one as it would be a genuine challenge. But the guy in the middle, Marco? Yeah no. He could mop the floor with you a thousand and one ways without breaking a sweat. That much is clear. So you must handle this with the utmost care and-

"Yeah. I've seen him. He's down there. But you can't have him."

"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?! THAT IDIOT!"
Pretty much everyone below is screaming at you with their arms raised high from the shock.

"Oh really? You're covering for him? Why? And what makes you think that's a good idea-yoi?"

"I found him, he's mine. So no way I'm letting you take what's mine! Besides, he's injured and tired. I rescued him so it'd be a very mean thing to just hand him over like that now!"

"Oy-yoi. You do realize he wouldn't do the same for you right? He's a marine."

"Yeah so?"

"Nothing just checking. And once he recovers, what's your plan with him?"

"Dunno. Drop him off at some island I guess."

"Okay. That's good. Was gonna do the same. Living people can usually send a better message than corpses. They don't really skip out on all the details."

"So you're not mad?"

"No. Not really. Do what you will. But if I can give you a piece of advice it's this. If you see our flag on any island don't cause any trouble. We won't like that."

"Yeah I get that. I'd be quite mad if someone messed with my islands."

"YOUR islands?"

"Mmm-hmm. Got two. Silver Island and Windy-windy Island. But only the moving cities have my flag on the second. So I'll make sure to behave."

"Hah! You're an interesting little guy aren't you? Well tell you what, once you make it past the Red Line and enter big boy territory do look us up! If you want to join the best pirate crew in the world that is!"

Something snaps in you upon hearing that. Even though it's a praise you still feel deeply insulted by it. So after taking a deep breath you shout at full volume, enough to hurt the ears of the Whitebeard Pirates.
"SCREW YOU! I AM THE GREATEST PIRATE IN THE WORLD! NOT YOU!"

It feels as if the sea has gone silent. Your crewmembers down at the ship have given up and now they look like they accepted their fate. There is an intense moment as you stare down the Whitebeards and they glare back at you. It looks like there will be a fight after all until you hear someone breaking the silence in the crowd.
"Pffft. AHHAHAHAHAHHAHAH!"

Soon every single one of them bursts out laughing including that Marco guy.
"Oy-yoi! You're an interesting one are you not? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Well at least you got balls kid, balls!"

"Well I-"

"BALLS!"

"Well thanks!"

"Alright. What did you say your name was? Silver? Oy! Someone get me a stack of bounties. Let's take a look at it. Hmmmmm. Ah there it is. Whew. Not bad, for a rookie. Who knows one day you might actually be someone!"

"HEY!"

"Anyway since you got this marine problem of ours covered I think that's it for our mission-yoi. Safe travels!"

You watch as they return to their business and prepare to set sail. Their massive ship turns around quickly and gracefully, leaving your little mighty vessel looking like a crappy little boat as it's both smaller AND somehow slower than their massive floating fortress. They don't really bother to give you any more of their time and leave without another word. You however don't feel like leaving things at that and shout after them with your sonic screams.

"OY! NICE MEETING YOU GUYS! NEXT TIME WE'LL GO DRINKING!"
They barely even look over their shoulders but Marco does give you a flick of his finger. Guess he agrees. You fly down onto your ship and start scratching your head.
"Well that was weird. Anyone else feels like that? Those guys were odd right?"

But rather than agreeing with you they all gang up to strangle the living crap out of you. But as five pair of hands are choking you at the same time you do wonder about something. These guys are the second group of pirates you've encountered that are this monstrous. Three if you count Jimbo as well. What does that mean? Where does that leave you? Simple. In the dust if you don't do something about it. If you aim for the top you'd need to contend with them. You must become stronger, faster, tougher, better. And maybe, just maybe it's not enough to encounter some strong guy and learn as he's beating the crap out of you.
Shit. Who knew this pirate business is so complicated?
>>
That's the end for today folks.
I got to admit this is not how I planned it but at the very least it ended up being a lot safer.
Still it would've been fun to meet the other 2 Yonkos crew but this is fine
I hope you enjoyed this. Next time you'll get your just rewards for helping a guy in need. So look forward to that
Good night!

There is a possibility, yes.
But what would be worse? Not having a dad or getting one and loosing him shortly afterwards?

>>4600485
It would be a nice parallel to Luffy loosing Ace all things considered.

I just want Silver to have a strong male role model tell him he's proud of him just like every little boy should experience at least once in their lives. And who better for that than the dadliest man on the ocean?

After that fateful meeting with one of the most notorious pirate crews on the planet you continue your journey through the seas in search of adventure with a special guest on your ship. His condition is stable according to Stitches yet he hasn't woken up yet. No wonder with all those horses that must be inside him. But it's not like you can afford to dawdle just because you got an injured marine on board. Life continues and so does your voyage. Finally Will and Ann get a taste of real life on the sea, at least a little as Will swiftly gets sent inside anytime bad weather or enemies approach and Ann is about as suited to the lifestyle as Lyda was initially. After a particularly nasty storm you see Ann struggling performing essentially basic duties. She tries her best and wants to be useful but her weakness and strong dislike of her Devil Fruit prevents her from being much help. You sigh and walk over to her as she's trying to pull the sails up, the strong, harsh rope cuts into her palm and rips the skin. Struggling and bleeding all over the rope you take pity on her and with a simple yank pull the rope down all the way.

She nearly collapses and looks at her frail, soft hands almost ready to weep.
"T-Thank you. I feel so useless."

You whistle for Stitches to come over here and your trusty little doctorine comes out of the clinic with her lunchbox and gets to disinfecting and bandaging Anns hand. Meanwhile Jaws strolls through the place and pats the nun on the shoulder.
"Don't sweat it sister. You'll get used to it. Then you'll regret having fishhooks for fingers."

"Thank you Mister Murray. You're too kind."

"Gyogyogyo. Come on stop it! It's only natural. We're crewmates now. We're supposed to help each other."

"Help huh? I'm just... not sure how to go about that. You're all so extraordinary and I'm just a nobody."

"That's not true. Everyone has their own expertise. Look."
>>
Jaws points Ann at the others so she can see what he means. Hagetaka is using spears made out of obsidian tied to the ship with a string of glass fiber to hunt small birds and fish that jump out of the sea, Marcella carefully watches the log pose and writes notes regarding the ships speed and distance traveled, Gu is forcibly shoving food down your throat after you had the galls to call his poison-meat gyoza weird and toss it away and Lyda is just finishing with healing Anns injury. Finally it's becoming clear for her what it means to be a crew. It's about being the lifeblood of the ship and compensating for the weaknesses of others. She finally nods and thanks the doctor for her assistance and Murray for his encouragement. Then she walks up to you and taps Toxin on the shoulder.

"Mister Omukade, correct? I think he learned his lesson."

"Hmmm? Lesson?

"I uh, never mind. Would you mind if I took him off your hands instead?"

"Sure, go ahead."
Gu then lets go of your throat and gets back to distributing the rest of the snacks to the others.

"Phew. Thanks for the save!"

"You're welcome! Say Silver, have you ever erm, had a normal day?"

"What are you talking about? I only have normal days."

"That's not what I meant. Would you like to have some fun with me? Maybe we can play a game with William?"

>Oh BOY! I like fun!

"Oh boy! I love fun!"

Ann smiles at you and pats your head.
"I'm glad to hear. Come, I got just the thing. William!"

"Coming!"

Will stops looking at the fish jumping out of the water next to the Dauntless and runs up to you. With the little scamp in tow you enter one of the cabins of the ship where Ann took up residence and she takes a large box off a shelf much to Wills enthusiasm. With glittering eyes he watches as she takes the lid off of it. While you too like boxes the boys perversion for it is a bit much even for you.
"What's this?"

"It's my favorite board game! Sora Warrior of the Sea!"

"It's a game made by some companies in the North Blue with the help of the World Economy News Paper. It's very popular amongst the children! It's based on a comic strip. But I assure you it's quite fun even if you don't know the source material! I myself like playing it very much."

"What's a board game?"

"Eh?"
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEH? You don't know what a board game is?"

"Nope. Is that like poker? Because I know that."

"It's uh- let me explain."

Ann gives you not just a rundown of the rules but what a board game is. She's shocked beyond words about how you couldn't know such a thing. And Will is even more outraged as this sounds like something you just made up even though it's 100% true. Well not like it matters really. Now you know the rules and they are simple enough. You just throw a dice and the board dictates how the game goes with random cards you draw when stepping on certain tiles. Simple. As this is happening and Will continues being amazed about your lack of knowledge Hagetaka checks on you to see what all the fuss is about.
"Oh. You're playing a game? It better be skill based. Because Silver has the devils luck."

"Psh. He doesn't even know the rules! He's a big dummy and I could beat him even with my eyes closed!"

"Now now kids, this isn't about fighting. Let's just have some fun and enjoy ourselves shall we?"

While normally you'd agree with Ann, William just made a big mistake. He dared to question your abilities on your own ship. This can not go on! Therefore you vow to destroy this tiny child without mercy.
"You're on!"

The board is spread out before you and the honor of first roll goes for you. Taking both dice in your hand you throw them with as much conviction as you can muster, your heart and soul now believing in the spleen of the dice. And as it just so happens they both land on the highest number of six. Will immediately jumps up and strikes a goofy pose as he gets hyped.
"Oooooh! Germa 66!"

"Bless you."

"No Silver. You threw two sixes."
Ann points at the dice.
"That's called a German 66. You get to not only move but draw a Germa card as well!"

You draw from the special pile of cards and it has some guy in a weird black costume on it with the number 3 on his cape. And that means you'll get huge bonuses further down the line. Will immediately gets jealous because you drew his favorite card and now he'd have to work very hard to get it from you. Good. The game continues in a similar fashion with your rolls being flawless. It's not a straight string of double 6's as that'd end the game rather quick. But instead it gets drawn out, giving Will the illusion that he can turn things around, that he can win. However your dice are just a little too good for that. It's always just enough to get something that'd be good for you or dodge a pitfall. It's quite amusing. Will grits his teeth as you're nearing the finish line and watches in disbelief as you win your first ever board game with little to no difficulty.

"I WIN!"

"No fair!"

"Dear God, it really is like playing a game with the devil."

Angel just shrugs at Anns comment.
"Told you. You'd have better luck with something like chess, or anything with thinking involved. But come to think of it Silver once shot a guy he played poker with."

"Yeap! Anyway good game! That was fun!"

"Yeah. For you maybe."
Will sulks as you grin at him.

"Anyway these figures are really cool! You said they are from a book?"

"A comic book. Think the Bible with more pictures. Actually mostly pictures."

"That sounds awesome!"

"Sora: Warrior of the Sea is a popular comic for the children of North Blue and certain parts of the Grand Line. It's a story about Sora, a marine hero fighting the evil army of Germa 66. It might be a way for the marines to make kids like them but from what I've heard most people like Germa just as much."

Yeah. No kidding. You've seen Sora, that pompous little weenie. His card is way too good, basically meant to end the game if someone gets it. You dislike such bullshit and decided not to get it instead focusing on the Germa guys who just look so damn COOL! Especially Poison Pink because she's pretty and makes you feel things. But the others are just as radical. Like Dengeki Blue and his lightning powers. It's good to know there are such things out there. Maybe you could start collecting them or something? Eh, too much trouble. You look over to Will who crossed his arms and is now puffing his cheeks, insisting that he's not mad. He sure seems sour about loosing the cheeky little kid.

"What's wrong? I thought you liked this game!"

"S-Shaddup!"

"Hey. The Germa guys are pretty cool don't you think?"

"Obviously!"

"If you could choose what would you want to be? Germa or Pirate?"

"I uh. Hmmmm. What about you?"

"I'm already a pirate. Duh."

"Then I'm the same! I'm a pirate! But. I don't know if I'll ever be one. I'm not strong like you or cool like Germa 66. So what am I supposed to do?"

Ann pats the boy on his pot and gently reassures him.
"Don't worry William! I'm sure one day we'll get there. Until then we must do our best!"

>Ann is right. You'll get strong don't worry (Let Will develop on his own)
>You don't have to be strong to be a pirate. Just help us and that's enough! (Make Will support the rest of your crew)
>Nah. We can ask the others. I'm sure we can make you strong in no time! (Help Will become more pirate-like)

Hmmmm. Guess Will is going to be a weenie for a while longer. Too bad, I already had his future weapon worked out for him
>writing
>>
You bump Will on the shoulder to try and cheer him up a little.
"Ann is right. You'll get strong one day. Just be patient. I used to have thinner arms than yours but now look at me!"

"They aren't much thicker than mine..."

"Well you get what I mean. Anyway just stick to being in the crows nest to help us spot and don't forget to tie yourself down when up there and you'll help us lots! Now how about another round?"

As you get ready and set up the pieces once more you hear faint knocking on the door as it slowly opens, revealing a single eye peeking in through the crack.
"H-He's awake-"

Lyda gathers everyone and leads you to the clinic but makes everyone wait outside and lets only you in as the captain. She hides behind you as she takes you to the bed of the marine and makes you pull the curtain away. The guy could only barely be called awake but at least he's back to his senses now. His eyes move slowly as they detect movement and lock onto you. He doesn't recognize you but he does remember Stitches.
"You-"

She gets on all fours and crawls around the bed to remain out of sight while she adjusts his IV bag and checks his bandages.
"Y-You were in critical condition when we found you. But don't worry, your wounds have been treated. B-But please don't try to move too much! You are still very weak!"

"I don't think he's going anywhere anytime soon."
You grab a chair and sit down next to his bed.
"Hey. I'm Silver. And you?"

"Where, am I?"

"On our ship. Do you remember anything?"

"I, ugh... my head. How much did I drink last night? W-Wait. We were supposed to go to an island. One of Whitebeards- Oh god. No. No! Oh god NO! The blood! FIRE! Where's everyone! THE PIRATES ARE ATTACKING! EVERYONE-"
You bonk him on the head hard enough to knock him out which Lyda reprimands you for as he's still her patient. But you shrug and tell her it was for his own good. After making sure he doesn't have any serious injuries she uses some smelling slats to wake him up again.
"Ugh... my head-"

"Okay this is starting over, I'll just save some time and-"

"SILVER NO!"
>>
Silver YES
>>
Lyda stops you from hitting the guy again and things take a bit of a turn when the marine finally realizes he's in a strange place he knows nothing about.
"Who are you people? How did I get here? And... what happened to our ship?"

You look at Lyda who's too scared to actually answer his question so you step up for her and get to explaining.
"I'm Silver. This is my ship. I fished you out of the sea. And the Whitebeards."

"That so?"
The guy looks intently at the ceiling light knowing full well what that means. That his nightmare was reality a little while ago.
"Did you find anyone else?"

"No. Just you."

"I see. Nobody... We told the Captain we did! We told him over and over again that this is a stupid idea! Now everyone- everyone is-"

Poor guy. Marco and his boys really did a number on them. Almost makes you feel sorry for the marine.
"Here. May I offer you an egg in these trying times? Or would you prefer a crab?"
With one hand you give him an ovoid chicken produce and with the other you tip your hat to him, revealing Marauder chilling underneath and waving at the hospitalized marine.

"I uh... no thanks."
He seemingly calmed down out of the sheer whiplash you gave him and collects himself enough to make a request.
"Anyway I'm grateful. For saving my life that is. But I must ask you for a favor. Could you guys drop me off at the nearest Marine Base? HQ must know what happened here. And since I'm the only one left-"

"Nah sorry. That's a bit hard to do since we're pirates. We'd get shot down on the way there."

"SILVER!"

The guys eyes snap open and he looks at you like a man begging for his life.
"P-Pirates? W-What will you do want from me?"

>Nothing. We'll put you on a cozy little island once we get there

You reach for your sword and point it to your chin as you start thinking. What to do, what to do? It's not like he's in any position to resist regardless of what you decide. And he could be useful all things considered.
"Hmmmmm. I know! You're our prisoner now!"
He starts visibly sweating under his blanket and he's already eyeing up your sword and your rifle so you calm him down with a hearty laugh.
"Kekekek! Don't worry I'm just joking. I didn't drag you out of the water just to make you a prisoner. I can get those much easier. Honestly I'm not really sure what to do with you. Got any ideas? Maybe you could give us something?"

"And if I can't? Because I have nothing of value to give and even if I did I would rather die."

"That's a shame. Oh well. Then I guess it's back to our original plan. We'll just drop you off at the next cozy island we find and that's that. You can find your friends from there right?"

"F-From an uninhabited island?

"Is that your idea of cozy? Do you want to dodge work that much? Well I get it. If you really say so guess we can find you an empty island-"

"N-No! A regular one will be fine."

"Okay! Normal island it is. I'll tell the others to be on the lookout for that. Oh and I'll also tell them not to hurt you. Lyda there will take care of you. Once you feel fine you can come up and help us. That way we can get to a nice place faster. But do be a good boy until then. Or I'll unleash the crabs!"

Life on the sea can be hard. The conditions on your typical ship can be quite hellish. Sea sickness, scurvy, grueling work and weeks or maybe months spent away from solid ground can do a number on a person. Especially on the Grand Line where the unnatural weather, frequent attacks from marines and pirates alike and monsters make life even more miserable than it already is. Some people just can't adjust. Such is the case with former revered Mother Ann who, against her better judgement embraced sin and joined up the pirate crew of her dreams. But now the relief of sleep won't come to her. She kicks off her blanket and gets dressed before going into the kitchen to maybe finds something to occupy herself with, even if that means snacking and adding to her waistline. As she enters the room with her lantern however she finds an unexpected guest already sitting there, wrapped up in a thick blanket like a cocoon.

"Miss Lyda? What are you doing up this early?"

"D-Drinking hot chocolate."

"Shouldn't you be sleeping?"

"I only sleep 2 hours each day."

"Isn't that too short?"

"I-It's an hour longer than I used to."

As the two of them start talking and Ann asks for Lydas permission to sit next to her another person enters the kitchen with a loud yawn and eyes rubbed fiercely.
"Morning. Oh, sister? Are you looking to join the breakfast club as well? Want some coffee as well?"

"Yes Mister Murray. I'd appreciate that."

Jaws put the pot on the stove to make an extra large batch this time. Once it's ready he prepares the usual portions. A whole bunch of sugar and milk with a single drop of coffee for Lyda and a black coffee with two spoons of sugar for himself. And a third one, black as night and lacking in any flavor besides bitterness set aside so it can get cold quicker.
"How do you take yours sister?"

"Just milk please!"

The mugs are passed around and the three of them get to sipping away at the sweet nectar of life. They drink in relative silence until all of them finished their cups and then Ann looks at the others, eager for answers.
"So what's wrong mister Murray? Can't sleep?"

"Hmmmm. Not quite. Silver is having nightmares again. He gets a bit punchy when that happens. Got some bruises to prove it. Omukade is a maniac and fights back so the barrack becomes a warzone. When that happens I come out and drink with the doctor."

"Does that... happen often?"

"Not as much now, no. But he used to have bad dreams a lot more. Tried giving him his own room once. He just thrashed it every night. That's why we use the barracks and let you gals have the officer rooms. Though we may have to start thinking about remodeling some other rooms because we're starting to run out."
>>
As Murray finishes a fourth person enters the room with quite an irritated expression.
"You guys are so noisy! Do you have any idea what time it is?"

"Morning Marcella."

"M-Morning."

"Wow. Miss Blood Hair! What cute pajamas you have. But why do they show off your midriff and why does it have hearts on it? Did you steal it from a child?"

"Big words coming from the bitch who wears pajamas all day. But shut up for now. Don't have the energy to properly hate you without my coffee. Murray?"

"Here. Black and cold."

"Thanks. SSSSIP. Agh! Damn that Omukade! Can't stomach anything without poison in it now! It just doesn't have any flavor! Look at me, I have to drink BLACK coffee just to feel something! I HATE BLACK COFFEE!"

As things quiet down a bit with Marcellas thirst quenched Ann looks around the table.
"So this is the breakfast club? And what do you do on this special occasion?"

"Wait for breakfast mostly."
Jaws answers.

"In that case may I trouble you with some questions? Regrettably I don't think I can be of much use to you. I'm not a sailor. The only thing I know is how to practice my faith and take care of children. Which is fine with William but I'm not sure I know how to treat Silver. What can you tell me about him? What's he like? What does he do?"

"Pffft. Trying to understand Silver? Better start bashing your own brains in. Maybe then you can figure him out."

"Ignore Marcella sister. She likes to show off her forked tongue but ask Hagetaka about the time they were locked in a brothel. I think you'll find what she said back then positively heartwarming."

"I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU MURRAY!"

Jaws chuckles and then continues.
"But I'm not sure what to say. Guess we can give a few pointers. For starters he has the appetite and eating habits of a sea king. He'll eat almost any amount of anything. And the weirdest part is that he swells up but slims down in like seconds."

Lyda raises her hand to speak up but the others tell her it's unnecessary.
"H-He likes to watch others work. Especially if he sees you doing something interesting. He usually wants to help but erm, he just makes a mess most of the time."
>>
Jaws nods in agreement.
"Then there is this weird thing he does. Sometimes he just stops doing everything and just freezes in place. Thought he might be insane at first because he claims he can hear "voices". But the scary part is when you ask him what he heard. Usually he says some nonsense. But sometimes he really seems to know what he's talking about."

"I-I've seen him... sitting at the nose of the ship. T-Talking to himself like he had a friend there. Usually recounting what happened at the islands we visited."

Hearing all that Marcella sighs and leans back on the chair.
"Why you guys got to be like that? Leave Silver alone. He just wants to have a good time. So what if he does weird stuff to have fun?"

Ann takes in all that and nods knowingly.
"Strange eating habits, has imaginary friends, always energetic and wanting to be the center of attention, weird behavioral quirks and bad dreams. Thank you everyone. I think I know how I can help now. If you'll excuse me-"

Without another word Ann leaves the company of the others and makes her way to the barracks. Jaws, Stitches and Hook follow her out of curiosity. They watch as she enters and carefully sneaks up to Silver and they try to silently warn her to get away from there. But she ignores them despite the clearly visible dents in the floor and the walls. She moves up to her captain and lays down behind him. Gently she nestles up to the young man and wraps her arms around him before pulling him in close. Miraculously the thrashing stops and finally Silver seems to be sleeping soundly.

Hours later when the first rays of sunshine pierce the curtains of the rooms single window Silver gets up and stretches his arms with great satisfaction.
"Hmmmmm! Good morning sun! Man I slept like a baby there! Oh?"

After looking around Silver saw Ann laying where he was. She's much less dignified than she usually is with her hair being a mess and drool coming out of her mouth. Though he doesn't get what she's doing there he doesn't really care either. So he simply takes off his coat and puts it on her so she doesn't catch a cold and leaves her there.

"CAPTAIN! Marine ship at the starboard bow!"

Will shouts from the crows nest as he spots sails popping up from beyond the horizon. Sure enough they have big seagulls on their sails. Well that makes things a bit awkward with the whole "prisoner on your ship" thing. Well you can't allow them to accidentally hurt their friend can you?
"UNLEASH THE CRABS!"

The hold keeping the cannonbugs is opened and the deluge of crustaceans floods out and onto the deck. Since they've been accustomed to the prospect they diligently climb into the barrels of your cannons and curl up into balls. Several volleys of the "little bastards" are unleashed in the vague direction of the incoming ship which doesn't necessarily matter because the little guys don't need to hit the ship, but it sure helps. Their hard shells put nice little holes in the hull of the enemy after which the bugs uncurl and either swim back so they can be fired again or go on to harass the crew by bludgeoning or pinching the marines relentlessly. A few minutes after the initial shot all the bugs return with their job well done and the marine ship barely being seaworthy. You pet each one of them and give them a little snack as a reward while the others take a good look and observe the amount of damage they inflicted.

"Impressive. It's like poisoning a ship! Still we should be careful where we use them."

"Come on Angel! You worry too much! Just look at how well these cuties did! Who's my cute widdle scourge of destwuction? Yes you are!"

"I mean it. They might help us thin the enemy herds but we'd risk them against stronger enemies."

"Pfffft. What are you stupid? The strong enemies are for us not them!"

"Guess I do worry a bit much."
Hagetaka also kneels down and starts rubbing the animals. But as she caresses the holy crustaceans she and everyone else onboard feels a sudden slow-down as your ship stops. Everyone on the deck looks at Murray expecting answers.

"OY! Jaws! I didn't say stop!"

"I know. But you might want to look forward."
>>
Gazing in the direction he points at you see something most unusual. A buoy in the middle of the sea with a sign welded on top of it. It has two arrows pointing in opposite directions with names under them. "San Faldo" to the left and "Water 7" to the right. Coincidentally your log pose seems to be pointing in the direction of the former. But that's not all. It seems like there is a structure floating on the water not far from here. It looks like a house. The one who lives in it must hate others if they want to live here in the middle of nowhere.

"Well that's a first."
Hagetaka observes.
"But it's not a bad idea. If the buoy doesn't move or ever turn..."

"Most likely it's anchored to the sea floor and doesn't move much. And it seems like it doesn't rotate either. But I agree this is not something you see every day. What should we do captain?"

"Let's check out that mystery shack!"

You have Jaws maneuver the ship over to the house and you realize that it's not quite floating on the water as it's standing on some sort of a platform and upon closer inspection you also see some sort of an arch next to it with water flowing freely across it like reverse mountain, most likely propelled by the intense flow of the Grand Line. You could probably sail across it if you really wanted to but instead you opt to setting foot on the strange platform. The others start looking around before heading for the obvious. They find some sort of a post with a schedule on it. Weird. But you personally don't have enough attention span for such things and go for the houses door and start knocking on it.
"HELLO! Is anyone home?"

You wait there for an answer and repeat the same motion. Several times. And louder every time until you hear some rustling coming from inside. The door is unlocked and as it flings open you see the barrel of a blunderbuss being pressed against your nose.
"Whodha hell are you and why didya wake me up?"

"I'm Silver. And because I don't want a gun pointed at my face."

"Sorry sorry. I get a lil grumpy when I'm woken uuuuuuuuaaaaaaa SNOOOOOOOORE!"

"YOU FELL ASLEEP?!"

After waking him up with a splash of water you sit down and talk with the pajama wearing man about what he's doing here in the middle of nowhere. First he looks at your ship before answering you.
"That's a pirate ship. You pirates?"

"Yeap."

"Guess that'd explaaaaaa-"

"DON'T FALL ASLEEP!"

"Ah. Sorry. Anyway that would explain why you guys don't know what's going on here. Look at da water there. See those tracks?"
Indeed there are tracks floating on the water. Which might be one of the most bizarre things you've seen yet.
"This here is the Sea Trains tracks."

"Sea Train? What in the blazes is that?"
Toxin asks what's on everyones mind.

"Give it a minute. It should come in about a few minutes."

The red lights on the platform go off and a bell starts ringing. A couple seconds later you already see smoke rapidly approaching from far away. With a loud thunderous roar some sort of a machine comes and goes past you with speed that not even the fastest ship you've seen could compete with. It goes just as fast as it came, leaving you all speechless.
"Must be impressive for newcomers. It's called Puffing Tom. It's a train, a machine that runs on rails. And this one is a miracle of science, a train that runs on the sea. The tracks connect several islands together and allow both people and cargo to be transported between them. It's much faster than any crummy ol' ship."

"Speaking of ships, I assume that's why these stations are here. To let ships pass?"
Jaws starts questioning him.

"Aye. You can pass over the train tracks at pretty much every island. But you have a few of these here and there. Mostly for Marines to cross. It can do nasty things to a keel if you ram into the tracks."

"What about pirates?"

"Eh. Nobody really cares. At first the navy wanted to cut the Grand Line off from pirates. But that just causes more trouble than its worth. It damages the tracks and the trains as well see?"

Finally you raise your hand and start jumping.
"Ooh ooh! And what's that? Those signs? Those are the islands the train connects right?"

"Yeap. To my left is San Faldo, it's also known as Carnival Town. There is ALWAYS some sorta party going on there. Mighty annoying if you ask me. Sometimes they go so loud I can't sleep-"

"H-How far is that?!"
Lyda mutters.

"I'unno. Like half an hours fare with the train? Maybe a bit more."

"If you go there you're in luck. One of their biggest festivals is happening right now. Basically the entire town is now covered in a masquerade. EEEEEVERYONE is wearing a costume from what I heard. See them goofy idiots getting off here sometime."

"And what about the other? Come on old fart don't keep us hanging!"
Marcella stomps her feet impatiently.

"Relax girl, relax! To my right is Water 7. THE home of shipwrights. I'm telling you, no place in the entire world makes better ships. And before you even ask, yes they don't care who the ship is for. As long as you got money that is."

You break away from the old man for a little while and hold an impromptu meeting to which the old guy rather rudely butts in on. You hear arguments from both sides and it basically boils down to this. Either you could go to San Faldo and have the party of a lifetime where you can blow all your money OR you could go to Water 7 and maybe get some upgrades for your ship and blow all your money. Both are equally tempting.

>San Faldo (safe)
>Water 7 (canon-break)

I'll let this vote go on for a bit as it's significant. But do keep in mind you'll loose your trail if you go to Water 7

You slam down your hand as you make your decision after much contemplation.
"Yosh! Everyone! Prepare to set sail! We're going to Water 7! Our ship has been good for us. So I want to keep sailing with her! Let's make the Dauntless the BESTEST ship on the seven seas!"

There's not much protest from the others. Well, there is a little but they all agree that it's important to fix and pretty up your little ship. The old man maintaining the station nods.
"Good call. You won't find any better shipwrights ANYWHERE."

"Old man-"
Jaws gives him an odd look.
"Do you realize that this is still the first half of the Grand Line?"

"ANYWHERE! Anyway you'll find that the place is teeming with shipwrights. A basic rule to follow is that the higher numbered docks are worse. And the closer you get to 1 you'll find better craftsmen. Heh. Just don't expect them to let you into Dock 1 unless you somehow win the lottery! Now if you youngsters had enough of bothering me-"
And he fell asleep once again. You carry him inside his own house and put him down on the bed before closing the door and getting back to your ship.

Following the train tracks is easy-peasy and they conveniently lead you straight to Water 7, the city of water. Though the road ahead could be a bit shorter. You've sailed for quite a while before you even notice anything appearing out of the waves. But when you do it truly manages to awe all of you. It's all one giant water fountain! You can't help but imagine all the slides you could go on! Oh right... devil fruit. But you could still get floaties and do it that way! The others are marveling at boring things like "architecture" and "aesthetics" or the sheer size of the place. Bah. What do they know?

"Hnnnnng! YES! This is going to be sweet! FULL SAIL AHEAD!"

"AYE AYE!"

You open up your sails and go forward as fast as possible. But once you get there you're kinda at a loss since the whole place is basically one big circle with no apparent exits. And it being so big and majestic doesn't help. But you do find a few guys currently fishing who call out to you.
"HEEEEY! ARE YOU GUYS NEW HERE?"

"YEEEEAH! Where's the entrance?"

"That's Blue Station! You guys shouldn't go there! Go around! There's a rocky island you can dock at!"

"THAAAANKS!"

"Okay let's ignore this chump and go to that Blue Station."

The order is given and you sail straight towards that main entrance the guy told you about. Almost immediately you realize that something's off as there are a lot of ships around you, mainly civilian and trade ships but you do spot a few marine ones as well, not to mention the sea trains tracks splitting the place down the middle. However due to the incredible density of ships they haven't noticed you yet. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea after all? Ah well it can't be that bad! Sailing through the main entrance you enter some sort of a cavernous, closed off dock that could be perfectly sealed with all the shutters. It's all really impressive to the point that you find yourselves staying still and just admiring the scenery for a while before you head for one of the empty spots. Almost immediately problems begin to arise as you start hearing screams.

"AAAAAAAH! PIRATES!"

Ah yes. The problem with entering a place heavy with commerce in a pirate ship. Ooops. No matter, once they see that you're not here to plunder stuff they'll get quiet. Right? Well it turns out no as the dock security is immediately dispatched as you're pulling up your sails. A rather large crowd full of guns is amassed before you with the guards pointing everything they have straight at you. Luckily they didn't start shooting yet and just shout at you.
"COME ON OUT!"

"Kay."
You jump down onto the docks and get a facefull of pointy objects.

"What the hell were you thinking you maniacs? This place is off limits for your kind! Now here's what will happen! You all come out and maybe you'll unscrew your minds when sitting in jail! And be thankful you don't have to pay a fine for disrupting the peace!"

Looks like they aren't scared of you. A shame, that could've made things easier. You look over your shoulder and see that a few navy ships are changing course to see what's happening. This could get ugly.

You look at them and feel genuinely insulted by all this.
"What? Unwelcome? Why can't we park here? This is disc- disco, it's not fair! I want to speak to your manager right now!"

"You broke our law and you demand better treatment?"

"Well to be fair NOBODY TOLD US about the law we're breaking!"

"It's written on the door! No pirates allowed!"

"Well I CAN'T READ!"
This is getting nowhere. Luckily they do realize that you care about their threats as they do about yours. So you attempt to make a compromise.
"Listen guys I know you are mad and I'm in no mood to do this either. So how about I just leave and we'll pretend none of this happened? Okay? Okay-"

As you turn around however you get a pair of handcuffs put on your arm. You're about to ask them what gives but they ignore you and make their way up the Dauntless to capture your friends as well. They are ready to throw down but you order them to not fight back since technically you made an oopsie this time. So you go along with their plans and end up behind bars. Your crewmembers can't believe what just happened as they look at the bars of their little cage.

"Of all the things that could've happened to us... we ended up in jail... BECAUSE OF A PARKING VIOLATION?! SILVER! I SWEAR IF I GET OUT OF HERE I'LL SKIN YOU ALIVE!"

"Sheesh. So scary!"

"Seriously though Silver what was that about?"

"Eh. Nothing Jaws. Just don't wanna upset people until they do our upgrades."

"Well yeah but now we won't GET any upgrades because we're in jail! Not to mention we might not have a ship either if the marines boarded it. It might be already confiscated."

"Aren't you guys forgetting something?"

A few minutes later a guard comes in wearing some fancy uniform. Probably the chief of security or something else equally important. He looks quite defeated as he looks at you.
"Why? Why do you have so many lobsters on your ship? And why are they invincible?"

"They are my pets. See?"
You lift your hat and let Marauder give him a little handwave.

"P-Please... we'll let you out if you promise to put them back in your ship. They are crippling the Blue Gate..."

"Kay."

>"P-Please... we'll let you out if you promise to put them back in your ship. They are crippling the Blue Gate..."
Ah yes, the joys of your cannonballs doubling as your security system.

You agree to his terms and after a little community service you are allowed to go mostly free. The local security will most certainly keep a close eye on you now. And it seems like someone's been spreading rumors about you as the citizens talk about a group of "idiot pirates" who strolled through the front gate and got caught. Typical. But at the very least the marines didn't take your ship as it was deemed too dangerous. And after the waters were clear nobody really dared to approach it. So all in all you're here in one of the most industrialized cities of Paradise with the locals thinking you're idiots, the authority keeping a close eye on you and now nobody will even go near your ship, much less work on it. Wonderful.

"Hey everyone! Please make sure to thank Captain Idiot for attracting everyones attention! Now we can't even go shopping in peace!"

"Come now there's no need for that Hook! Anyway let's find ourselves a shipwright and get out of this crummy place. Its smug sense of superiority is mocking me."

"That's easier said than done Silver. Don't think many people would be willing to make a deal with us now."

"So what do you recommend Jaws?"

"Personally? Since this place is home to the greatest shipwrights I bet there are a few "outcasts" as well. Maybe we can get some illegal practitioners to help."

"Hmmmmm-"

"You guys don't get it! I want the Dauntless to be the BESTEST ship in the whole world! I want her to be treated well! So we get only the best! And if they don't wanna do it we'll just shove money down their throats until they do! So who's with me?"

"Me."
Toxin steps up.
"I got some very specific requests regarding the kitchen."

"Sigh. And Omukade is bad with money so I'll come as well."
Angel also volunteers.
"Plus I'll make sure to convey your wishes as well doctorine!"

"ALRIGHT! Then it's decided! Toxin and Angel come with me! The rest of you can look around and have fun! But Will don't you wanna come? I bet it's gonna look awesome from that high up! I bet it's like... ten feet tall!"

"Yeah!"
Will jumps on your shoulder and starts kicking you like a mule.
"Let's go let's go! By the way when will I get a cool name like that?"

"When you earn it. When you earn it!"

You set out with your friends in search of the legendary shipwrights but you can't really make much progress with all the damn water everywhere. Can't even walk in a straight line for 2 minutes without hitting a dead end. How the hell do they move around here?
"BULLS! Rent your bulls here!"

Ah. That must be it.
"Hello! I wanna rent two small bulls!"

"Two yagara coming up!"

The RentalBullshop guy presents you with two saddled up animals that look like water camels. Without wasting a second you sit on one of them and urge the others to follow suit while they wonder how the hell you knew to do that. After getting your "steeds" they take you on a little tour of the many canals of the city to show everything off from the lovely little residential districts to the vibrant and rich markets. Finally they take you where you actually want to go, to the very tip-top of the city where the greatest shipyards are. There are 7 of them in total and the No. 1 is THE best of the best according to the locals. So you ask the Bulls to take you right up to their doorstep.
"SNIFFF! Ah yes! It sure smells like wood here! I got a good feeling about this!"

There's a rather large commotion inside as a rowdy group of pirates is talking with the shipwrights in there. They apparently had their ships fixed up but they don't feel like paying their high prices so they won't. Understandable. But not according to the workers inside who mercilessly beat the shit out of them with their work tools and massive wooden beams. Now THIS is the shipyard for you! Unfortunately your good mood disappears for some reason as the pleasant scent of wood and oil is replaced by the stench of feces and stupid. You got a bad feeling about this...
"Hey old man. Those strong guys, are they shipwrights?"

That voice is familiar... No! He's here. He's fudging here!

Ignore him. Ignore him! IGNORE HIM! The mantra goes in your head and it must keep going because otherwise you'd jump at his throat. The ship comes first! The ship means more! Just got to hope he doesn't notice you either. Gu realizes this and stands between you to cover you as much as possible. Angel and Will don't know anything about that so they don't really care. Moving in through the front door you call out to one of the workers who partook in the battering of the pirate crew and you almost have an aneurism when you see him as he reminds you a LOT of one of Luff's goons. But the moment he opened his mouth you calmed down.

"How may I help you yung'uns?"

"Hello. I'm Silver. We heard you guys are good shipwrights and we want some work done on our ship."

"Ah you whippersnappers are here to make a commission? Sure but it will cost you a pretty penny. Are you sure you can pay us laddy?"

"We can assure you that money is not an issue. And this will be a big project."

"Certainly madam. I'm not doubting your words. Just that you could see what happened not a moment ago. Right proper scrap that was! Anyway we're always happy to take commissions however you'll have to take it to the bossman himself. Mister Iceburg is the one who owns the company, and coincidentally he's the mayor as well! Buuuut I will take a look at your ship first to assess things. Once that is done he can give you an offer and you can sign a contract in a jiffy!"

"Ah that sounds wonderful! Thank you."

"Don't mention it miss. It's our job! So if I may, where can I find your ship?"

"Blue Station. Dock five."

"Dock fi- Wait a minute! Are you the guys who parked illegally? Hahahhahaha! Can't wait to tell the others about that!"

A guy who remembers when Spookyng accidentally posted with his Spookyng trip on when he was running Human Quest Super.
There's no question.
He's Nega-Som/Not-Som.
At least SOMNIUS had the decency to rocks fall his abandoned quests.
>>
>>4611499
And if you don't believe me here's the evidence
A twitter post from Spookyng with a poll.
On that poll is both One Piece and Human Quest Super.
DMC won the poll, but Spookyng got bored of it and went under the name Not-Som in order to run Human Quest Super which he has now also apparently dropped.
https://mobile.twitter.com/SpookyngQM/status/1083053565562839041
Here's the poll in case he deletes the Twitter post.

Even if it is nega-som/not-som, stop shitting up the thread. What are you even trying to achieve? Make the QM drop this quest because of your autistic shitting? Use this energy and make your own quest or something.

As far as I know he has one extremely good quest that he finished under his belt. So fuck off with that.

Phew. Alright. I managed to compromise. I'm fed up with the spreadsheet. So Pastebin remains for at least a little while. Mostly updated the social links this time as Silver hasn't undergone any serious development that you should know about. But I did touch up on his backstory

Nah. It's just the paste that's a pain. Specifically migrating to google spreadsheet. I just despise it because my tism demands it to look at least nice.
I actually like doing the pastebin even though it takes some work. I like leaving little nuggets of content in there

Plus thanks to our bat hearing we'd be able to pick up frequencies of both higher and lower pitch than normal. If we really could hear the voice of all things then we be able to hear what the Scuttlebugs were saying, right?

"So it's all good?"
You ask the man with the square nose.

"Yes. Of course. Here's how this goes. You can wait around until the president comes around and talk with him to sign a contract. Sadly he's a busy man so that may take a while. Meanwhile I'll go and check out your ship!"
He takes off his toolbelt and begins stretching.

"Wait. You want to check out our ship? Why?"

"You see miss I need to survey your ship to know what we're dealing with. Once I assess the damage Mr Iceburg can give you an accurate price. After that it's simply a matter of you waiting while we work and then paying! Simple as!"

"And it's not a problem that we're pirates?"
Gu asks with his arms crossed.

"As long as you pay we don't mind sonny. We have our pride as shipwrights! No matter whose ship it is we'll take care of it."

That's a good mentality, and if someone doesn't pay up they beat them up! This company sounds pretty good. Maybe you could snatch one of them away. Then you'd have a permanent shipwright... But that's for later. For now you got to focus on fixing up the Dauntless.

I think he's fine, he did actually assess the Going Merry, so I'd doubt he'd lie about our ship or sabotage it.

"I'll come with! Show you around!"

"Hah! Much appreciated young man but no need! I'll just run there. Be back in a jiffy!"

"I won't be in the way. Watch!"
You shrink down to a small bat and land on his back.
"See?"

"Hahaha! How interesting! Okay. Hang on tight! Yosh, here we go!"

After a brief stretch the shipwright runs forward and jumps on the main gate before hurling himself down the precipice. Your crewmates can only watch as he disappears in a second. Meanwhile you're shouting at the top of your lungs because this feels like being on a rollercoaster. As the guy jumps from rooftop to rooftop like a monkey the citizens below point and smile at him. Wooshing through the city you hear them say his name. Some call him Kaku, others refer to him as the Mountain Wind. And you can certainly see why he earned that name. But to you he's more like a monkey as he clearly enjoys jumping around the place. When you get close to the station he asks you for confirmation about which dock you're at and he quickly runs there without anyone giving him the slightest bit of trouble.

You arrive at the Dauntless in no more than 60 seconds and he lets you down.
"Well? How was it?"

"Again! Again!"

"Hah! When we go back! Now then, let's make that bread."

You get off him as he starts surveying the ships condition and you start caressing the railings.
"See that? You'll get a nice new look soon. We'll get you fixed, buy you some fun new toys and-"

But Kaku immediately notices that something's off with the ship.
"This design, this is a Marine ship isn't it?"

"Yeap!"

"And would you mind telling me how you got a ship from the navy?"

"We stole it. Duh!"

"I figured. But then why are you hiring us?"

"Hmmmm?"

"Why waste money on this ship? Why not just steal a newer or better one?"

You think about it for a moment and humm while trying to figure out how to tell this to a dummy.
"Do you have money? Well if you lost your house you wouldn't feel bad about it because you could just buy a new one right?"

"Ah. But still this ship is hardly anything special. If you have the kind of money you claim you could still build a new one that's better and cheaper."

"No. She is special. Because she is ours!"

"Okay okay. Don't get your knickers in a twist. Now let's see-"
>>
Kaku observes what he can on the deck then you lead him downstairs to show him how things are below. You even show him where you keep the big piles of money that Marcella likes to sleep on from time to time and he can't find the words to express what he feels from that. He even gets acquainted with the cannonbugs and manages to end the meeting without them pinching his nose with their big claws. Once he's done with his observations he goes back to the surface to give you a quick rundown.

"Well the mast needs to be replaced. Doesn't have much left in it. The floor creaks a lot, has way too many splinters and the boards weren't treated well and their protective coating is gone. That needs to go as well. Other than that the ship is in surprisingly good condition not counting these... odd holes. Or those, whatever those are."
He steps onto a strangely red and sticky patch on the floor.

"Oh we like to play ball a lot. And this is where I tripped. I headbutted the railing and split my head in half. It bled for 2 hours!"

"Mmmm-hmmm. Not even going to question that. But yeap. The repairs will be relatively easy. We deal with worse things on the regular. The upgrades however, whooowee. This ship was not made for the Grand Line let me tell you that. The upgrades will cost a pretty penny. That is if you want to reach the next port intact. I still recommend commissioning a new ship. You can even turn this one in. It still has good material we could use."

The Dauntless is also Silver's first "home," which is another reason I don't think he'd give her up.
>>
Keeping the dauntless received overwhelming favor
>writing
>>
>>4612689
Well he says that for a good reason. They do actually make that argument in canon when talking about Merry.
They "COULD" repair her. But if they replaced every part of it then that wouldn't be Merry. Just a copy
>>
>>4612703
But if you build a new ship from old refurbished parts then is it really a new ship, or the same old ship?
>>
>>4612708
What happens if we just burn it all and put the ashes into an urn? Maybe spread the ashes somehow into the framework of the new ship itself? Or would that just be like having a corpse, nothing more?
>>
>>4612712
That would kill it I think. The ship is the body so to speak and the Klabautermann is the soul... kinda. So destroying the body would probably kill the spirit.

>>4612708
This I'm not sure about.

"NO!"
You snap at Kaku.
"The Dauntless is MY SHIP! I don't care if she's not special or too strong! I sailed with her and made good memories! And just like my crew I won't abandon her! Because a good captain goes DOWN WITH HIS SHIP!"

You stomp down hard and feel the shockwave travel through the entire deck. Though the Dauntless bobs a little on the water she doesn't get damaged. But the wave still manages to unnerve Kaku.
"Okay okay. No new ship! Got it. Well if nothing else Mister Iceburg should be happy with the fortune he's about to make. Wanna head back and tell him the good news?"

Happy that your message got across you smile and climb on his back in bat form once more.
"Yeap!"

Going back through the city you reach the Galley La company in a minute. Kaku didn't lie, this whole thing didn't take 10 minutes in total. Upon entering through the big archway again you spot Toxin and Angel discussing something while a blu haired guy is standing near them alongside blond lady with big boobs. But at the same time they are having a discussion with... THEM! Those fuckers! Those bastards! What tools!

"Mister Iceburg!"

"Ah Kaku. I heard you went to survey a ship. Well, looks like business is booming."

"Yeap. Got a full report for you. And who are they?"

"Customers. Well, more like they were sent here by Kokoro."

"Ahahaah! Old lady Kokoro huh? Bet that brings up many unwanted memories huh? If I may ask, who did you send out to survey them?"

"Paulie."

But you can barely hear what they are talking as that stupid monkey is also there with his stupid shirt and stupid straw hat and stupid grin! Why you oughta-

A chance to justifiably fuck up the asshat who DARED to suggest we abandon our beloved crew mate? Silver couldn't possibly pass up the chance.

That being said I wouldn't wanna fuck things up so bad that they like, don't get the 1000 Sunny.

"Paulie huh? Uh oh. Hopefully there aren't any casinos on the way there."
But all of a sudden Kaku nudges you forward.
"Anyway this is our other customer. They are looking for a full repair and some custom upgrades. Here's everything I gathered."

"Well, I guess I'll take a look at it."

"Hi! I'm Silver!"

"Hi. I'm Iceburg. And this is a mouse I found on the way here. His name is Tyrannosaurus."

"Oh we're showing off pets? This is Marauder! I got plenty more where he came from so if you want some crabs I can give you some!"

Suddenly his assistant flips out and kicks your teeth in with her high heels.
"That's sexual harassment!"

"P-Please don't make Kalifa mad. She often misses when she gets angry-"
Iceburg says with a swollen face that resulted from collateral damage.
"W-Well, this is quite an unusual list. You sure you want to go through with this? Very well. Come to my office so we can make a contract."
He looks over to the Straw Hats.
"Could you wait here until Paulie comes back? I'll be back shortly."

They nod but his assistant raises her glasses.
"Actually Mr Iceburg you have several appointments scheduled so we don't have time for that. You have a meeting at the Chiza Hotel with the management of the glass factory, a lecture at Liguria Plaza followed by a meeting with Mayor Vimine from Puchi. Then to close the day you'll give an interview to the papers and for the rest of the evening you must work out the paperworks-"

"DON'T WANNA!"

"Understood. I cancelled all of them."
Iceburg then leads Toxin, Angel and you into his office while Moron P Goofy gets to eat boogers outside! What a great day! But as you enter the building your ears catch something being murmured by the one with the big, not square nose.

"Hey Luffy doesn't that guy look kinda familiar to you?"

Inside Iceburgs office you get to sit on big fancy leather chairs while his sadistic monster of a secretary brings you coffee. Though Gu doesn't let you drink any because the last thing the world needs is you being caffeinated. So you just chug cream instead.

"Well, if I read this correctly you want a complete upgrade on top of the repairs? And that money doesn't seem to be an issue. Before we begin is there anything in particular you'd like to add?"

"Actually yes-"
Omukade leans forward.
"I want the kitchen to be modernized. I need a lot of new equipment to do my job-"
He then goes on a tangent for about 10 minutes explaining why it's absolutely essential he gets various items mainly used in chemistry. Iceburg just wipes some sweat off his brows and nods.

"And our doctor would like to expand the clinic as well."

"Well, with a kitchen like that I don't see why you'd need more lab equipment. But fine. Lucky for you Water 7 is one of the biggest trade hubs of the Grand Line. Thanks not only to the Sea Train but our booming industry and the Galley La company. So we could definitely buy those. Though it'd cost you."

"Erm, question Mr Iceburg. Would you say it's possible to purchase very exotic things from far away places here on the Grand Line?"

"I don't see why not. As long as you have money and time you can buy almost anything here."

"Sweet!"

"You look happy Toxin."

"Yeah! I've been thinking about something for a while now. Something to help me fulfill my dream! With Iceburg and Water 7's help I think I might be able to pull it off."

"Ahem. Well, aside those two articles I think we can easily do everything else. After replacing the mast, the deck and patching all the holes we'll get to reinforcing the ship. A stronger hull will be necessary, maybe steel reinforcements. New cannons to replace the stock navy ones. Stronger sails are also necessary. I also see... petting zoo? I assume for the crabs. We can set up a small instillation for them as well. Ah and refurbishing all the rooms to make them a bit more cozy. All that plus a fresh paintjob would be-"

"400.000.000 Belli Mister Iceburg."

"Thank you Kalifa."

Gu and Hagetaka are practically choking on their spit after hearing this. They swallow and swallow but it just keeps coming.
"That's outrageous! We could buy a new ship from that!"

"Well, yes. A good one. But your captain was adamant about us improving your ship as much as we can."

"Kekeke!"

"Well... there's an issue though. You see we can improve a standard Caravel only so much. Even with all that there is no guarantee it will last very long. You hear scary stories about the New World. A small ship like that might get crushed. No matter how much we fortify it. Unless-"

"Unless?"

"Unless we take some extreme measures. For double that amount we can start thinking about some experimental things."

"Oy Silver! If we spend that much money we'll be destitute! That's ALL of our treasury!"

"Hmmmmm. Hmmmm? Hold on. I'm not good with numbers-"
You reach into your pocket where a few belli coins jingle around and place them on the table. You stack 4 of them into a little tower.
"So this is 400 million. And if I make another stack that's another 400. So that's 800."

"Well, you don't seem to have trouble with counting-"

"Let me finish."
You pull the coins back and twirl them around between your fingers. 100 million is a lot and hard to imagine. But you're pretty sure you got enough to pay Iceburg even if it's 8 times that much. So you grin and slam down on the table.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEDnNDNU0J0

BAM. You leave a coin on the table.
"So if we pay you that much you'll fix our ship."
BAM
"You'll make her look like she did before."
BAM
"Make her faster than the winds!"
BAM
"Give her weapons strong enough to make the sea shake!"
BAM
"Toughen her enough so she can protect us while we protect her!"
BAM
"Make her more roomy so we can be more comfortable at home."
BAM
"Give my doctor and chef what they wanted?"
BAM
"And install those super special things you mentioned?"

"Well, yes. That is the idea."

"Good!"
BAAAAAAAM
"But I want you to make her bigger! Because I still don't feel like I have enough people! Can you do that?"

"W-Well-"

BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM
"And to finish things off you'll make her pretty! I want a cool headpiece, statues, flags, a fresh paintjob and other stuff that screams WE'RE HERE! AND YOU BETTER GET OUT OF OUR WAY!"

"M-Mister Iceburg-"

"That's-"

"Captain?"

"OY SILVER! You went overboard!"

"No. I didn't! 1.000.000.000 Belli from my own stash of the Dauntless and Mine! Is that enough to work with? Iceburg?"

Let us go back in time a little. Several weeks ago a lone ship sailed into port at Marine HQ carrying its precious cargo of wide eyed marine recruits ready to be trained and turned into the protectors of justice! But amongst its passengers was someone who already went through all that and yet she found herself back here, much to her chagrin. After finishing with processing the fresh trainees, the officer in charge looked at the girl.

"That leaves only you. Report to the Vice-Admiral at once! You'll find him at the beach."

"Understood."
With the relatively simple instructions given she does indeed find the person she's supposed to meet. It turned out to be surprisingly easy given he's the only person in the area wearing the iconic suit and cape of the Vice-Admirals while also sporting a very silly dog hat.
"Seaman Apprentice Mary Killgrew reporting for duty Vice-Admiral Sir!"
She salutes the esteemed commanding officer who barely seems to have noticed her. Instead he takes a big bite out of a chocolate chip cookie.

"Whoa there. Ease off girl. No need for that stick up your butt! Want some snacks?"

"I don't think that's appropriate sir..."

"Bwahahahaha! Couldn't even deny you're one of Tsurus girls! Name's Garp by the way. You can call me Mister Garp, just Garp or Garpy or whatever. Leave the vice-admiral stuff. Only ass-kissers use that."

"I know who you are sir. Garp the Hero. Everyone knows that name."

"Not really. Not even you know the full name. Just the Hero. Anyway Mary, I know about you as well-"

"Yes. I get that a lot. People often compare me to my parents and-"

"Tsuru praised you quite a bit."

"She did?"

"She said you're stubborn as a mule and more bone headed than an ox. Guess that's why she passed you to me now that I think about it."

"That sounds more like an insult sir... But anyway, when do we begin? I'd like to get this over with as soon as possible. My place is not here but out at the sea. With Captain Hina preferably."

"Bwahahahahaha! That's the spirit! I don't see a problem with that! Hell I'll write you a letter of recommendation myself. With that you could go to whichever ship you wanted! Buuuut Tsuru made me swear an oath and she'll have my head if I break it. So I can't let you go until I think you won't get creamed out there. So here's the deal! Prove to me that you could last more than five minutes out there and I'll let you go with a pat on your back!"

Mary smiled.
"Excellent. How do I do that?"
>>
>>4615305
Many blessings upon you for your sauce kind stranger
>>
Garp let out a sharp whistle aimed at two soldiers running laps around the beach.
"That's enough for your morning jog ladies! Come here!"
Two half naked, half dead, completely drenched in sweat trainees come up to the vice-admiral. They can barely speak from their own panting. One of them tries to salute but his arms physically can't go that high right now.
"These two sissies are my trainees! They've been running laps since 3 in the morning with no food, no water and no breaks!"

"I-It's 9 o' clock!"

"Yeap! Here are some wooden swords. All of you get one and if you manage to knock them out you're out of here! As for you two! I don't want to see either of you hold back. No pirate will hold back against her and you shouldn't be afraid to hit girl pirates either! So hit her like she has dangly bits! Got it?"

"Tch. Too easy!"

But it wasn't too easy. Much to Marys surprise the two guys on the brink of collapse still had plenty of fight left in them. In fact they had such a strong second wind that she could only last 2 minutes before they overwhelmed and disarmed her, leaving Garp to laugh at her teeth gritting misery.
"Well guess that means you're stuck with us then! But don't worry, you can try again any time you please. Of course they'll be getting stronger so I suggest you start doing some exercises. Now... get running!"

Later that evening once the days tortures were over the three apprentices were laying on the cold wooden floor of a simple cabin they had to construct that day, as Garp made sure to demolish it every morning. It was cold, uncomfortable, drafty and full of splinters but after what they suffered through it felt like heaven. In that groggy state one of the lads tried his best at starting the conversation.

"Heeee. Heeee. We didn't really have a chance to introduce ourselves before. I'm Coby. And that grumpy guy there is Helmeppo. Nice to meet you!"

"I don't care."

"Coby please! I swear if you'll try talking to her all night I'll strangle you! I want to sleep at least a little!"

"Don't be like that Helmeppo! She's our comrade now. We should do our best to reach out to her."

"Leave me be! I'm not interested in talking. All I care about is beating you two so I can be on my way!"

Coby then tried to persuade Mary to open up a little bit, even offering to help her with training. But each time he's shot down by the girl. She continuously gives him answers like "you wouldn't understand" or "what do you know about such things". After a while even Helmeppo lost his patience.

"Hnnnng! Okay missie! I've had it. Do you think YOU'RE the only one with problems? This guy can't keep his mouth shut for five minutes without gushing about some pirate! MY father was a marine turned deserter, turned pirate! So there! Screw you, screw your pirate problem and GOOD NIGHT!"

With that the cabin became deathly quiet. Realizing they really should get some sleep after all Coby wished Mary to sleep well and shut his eyes. But Mary couldn't sleep as she was lost in thought. Maybe they do understand after all.

There is a profound stillness in the room as everyone is trying to grasp the magnitude of what you just did. Toxin and Angel in particular can't fathom how you could do something like that as Iceburg and Kalifa are not entirely convinced you're serious.

"Well, could you run that through me Kalifa? Is it possible they even have that kind of money?"

"Certainly."
The secretary flips through some papers to gather information.
"Silver Pirates, total bounty of 190.000.000. Belli. They originate from the West Blue and were formed by the titular "Cavalier" Silver. They are reported to regularly attack and raid various towns and trade vessels. Even so, it's hard to imagine they could amass such a fortune in such a short amount of time."

"Kek! If you don't believe me then ask Mr Square Nose. He saw the money pile!"

"Well, it's not like I ever said I doubt you. Just want to make absolutely sure. While we have no issues doing commissions for pirates I'd lie if I said we like it. A lot of you tend to not pay for the work we do. Usually we have no problem collecting though but in this case? Your total bounty is not even one fifth of the commission."
Iceburg then starts picking his nose without any shame.
"Then again I've been wanting a big project like this. It'd give us an excuse to fire up some of the bigger machines-"

"Mister Iceburg-"
Kalifa spoke up.
"How about a compromise? They pay half in advance as insurance and half when the project is complete. It would minimize our potential loss profit and give us more of an incentive to trust them?"

"Well, that's a pretty good idea."

Hagetaka crosses her arms and puts one leg on the table to assert her presence.
"Usually paying in advance means we get something in return..."

"Well, we don't have much to offer. Such a big project would guarantee your place in Dock 1, meaning only the very best would work on your ship. And with money like that we'd only use the finest materials. The only thing I could give is my word that I'd personally oversee work on your ship."

>writing
>>
You give them a big, happy smile and loudly proclaim.
"Deal!"

After a handshake Kalifa quickly finalizes the details of your contract. Sadly Toxin and Angel don't let you actually sign it and to it in your stead. According to them once you pay the initial 500 million constructions will begin immediately. High in spirits you head out and thank Iceburg for being so friendly. Once you're out of their sight however Hagetaka and Omukade start kicking the crap out of you for being so stupid. Gu in particular seems very upset as he's trying to make you understand what you just did.

"YOU IDIOT! That's ALL your savings AND the ships! How do you think we're going to buy supplies now?! You're going against the rules YOU set!"
He lets go of your collar once your eyes turn into spirals and sighs.
"Well huntress? How boned are we?"

"Erm. I've been hunting the day before we arrived. So our pantries should be full of Sea King meat-"

"I-I uh I actually ate some-"

BONK
"HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU TO NOT EAT OUR SUPPLIES? That's it! I'll ask that Iceburg guy to install the biggest lock he can find on my fridge!"

"Come now, I'm sure we're fine. W-Well our fridge won't be operational while they are fixing the ship. Maybe we can ask them to plug it in somewhere?"

"Oh that is excellent! Our perishable foods are now going to perish! But you know what? It's actually fine! None of us are actually going to starve! Only you! Oh and you can forget about milk as well for QUITE a while!"

"W-What? NO!"
Shit. Maybe you didn't think this one through.

You continue bickering among each other until it starts attracting quite a bit of attention. Some of the shipwrights are starting to give you funny looks. And it's not only them that noticed your rather loud display of violence. Indeed an ever louder scream can be heard as its source draws near. Suddenly it comes to a stop as the source of the shout starts screaming.
"Gomu Gomu no PISTOL!"
>>
>>4616303
>"Gomu Gomu no PISTOL!"
Oh no.
>>
Your strangling stops but somehow you wish it continued as you're decked in the face and knocked back. After rolling around for a while you look up with a furious look on your face. It's one thing that your crew beats on you, it's an entirely different thing when someone uninvited butts in! You look up and you see your assailant currently being restrained in a similar manner you were but moments ago.

"LUFFY! What are you doing?"

"Let me go! That's the guy who hurt Vivi! I gotta kick his ass!"

Oh that is IT! Here you were minding your own business, ready to act mature and focus on fixing up your precious ship and not on burying mister Monkey P Goofy. But NO! Some people just can't be reasoned with. Looks like Gu and Hagetaka already dropped everything and prepared for a confrontation but for the time being they are stilling themselves.
"Omukade. Do you know them?"

"Kinda. We crossed paths once. And Silver seems to have some beef with them."

"Silver? Bearing a grudge? Why?"

"No idea. He just does. Guess there isn't space for two head chefs in a kitchen."

You ignore their talk and focus on the Straw Hats crewmembers.
"Don't start a fight Luffy! We might get thrown out!"
At the very least the orange haired girl is smart.

"Please Luffy! Don't anger the scary guy!"
Hey. Isn't that Kaku? Weird.

Well. It's time to decide how to handle this.

You wipe some of the grim off your face and smirk. This is exactly what you wanted! With a quick rush ahead you pull back your hand and punch the bound guy with a great swing. Naturally after that punch he gave you it just doesn't feel right to hold back so you put a bit of Hasshoken into your punch and send Goofy flying out of his comrades arms. The orange girl and Kaku stare as you stand next to them and the pirate is flung backward. Similar to you he rolls backwards several times before he comes to a stop. But unlike you when he sits back he has to grasp his face and wince.
"Ow ow ow! It hurts!"

"W-What? But Luffy is supposed to be immune to blunt attacks!"

You look at them while grinning and try to explain "But not yours" however you don't get the chance to do anything as all of a sudden you're surrounded by big burly men looking at you quite menacingly. Amongst them is strangely enough Kaku alongside the other Kaku next to the orange girl. So rather than worrying about your predicament you keep looking back and forth trying to figure this out.
"Ooooooh. This one doesn't have a square nose!"

Not-Kaku briefly stops worrying about the shipwrights holding you down to karate chop you on the forehead.
"You just notice that now?"

Proper Kaku stops pointing a big saw at your throat to diffuse the situation.
"Now now, let's not do anything I wouldn't do. I don't know what history you kids got there but can it. This is a neutral place so hold your horses. Otherwise we might have to remove you from the premises."

"Hey hey, he started it! I just returned the favor!"

"Good. That means you can both stop now."

"Okay okay."

Strangely enough everyone else listens to the threat of the shipwrights as everyone needs their services. Even Luff realizes that and stands down much to the relief of his nakama. The workers get back to their duty and the Straw Hats actually start mingling with your guys while you and Luffy resign yourselves to peaceful glaring at each other. They don't really talk much as all of them feel pretty awkward about all this. Instead they simply exchange an understanding "You too?" and leave it at that. But the air between you and Luff gets more and more intense. Now both of you are huffing and puffing in your frustration. However in your silent fuming you come to an understanding about not attacking each other.

After concluding your business with Luff you turn away so you don't have to look at his stupid face anymore. In your boredom you try to look around searching for anything to occupy your mind and possibly calm it down. Unfortunately there isn't much that really interests you. The machines while interesting you don't understand and the shipwrights are too busy with their work. That leaves only your guys and MAYBE the Straw Hat goons who seem to be whispering about you. Granted, your staring might have something to do with that.

You consider leaving to go get the money however it looks like the Straw Hats already came prepared. Meaning you MUST leave someone or else they'll cut in front of you and take your spot in the queue. That can NOT happen.

"Oy! Toxin! Angel! Go get the money! I'll stay and make sure they don't steal our spot!"

"It's not a compe- you know what? Forget it. On it captain!"
The two of them leave with Angel being a little concerned about leaving you to your own devices but even she must've realized that since you gave your word you won't do anything.

As they leave you're once again left without much to do so you observe your surroundings. You zone out and let the noise of the shipyard fill your ears. The hammers, the saws and the big machines around you sing in an interesting tune. Their rhythmic beating forms a peculiar and ancient song resonating through the place. This shipyard must be ancient and the ones working in it right now are carrying that hundreds of years old legacy on their shoulders. It's quite beautiful... Until some asshole opened his mouth.

"Oy oy Nami! That weird guy is staring at us!"

"Quit looking you creep!"

"I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU WEENIES!"
You shout back at them.

"Oh yeah? Then why did you attack us?"

"YOUR CAPTAIN PUNCHED ME IN THE FACE!"
You swallow your bile and exhale to calm yourself down. It's not worth getting mad over them. Yet.
"And I'm trying to look at something. So out of my way, shoo shoo!"

"How about no? We got every right to be here!"

"N-Nami please don't make the crazy guy mad!"

"Hmph. You need to stop being such a chicken Usopp. If he does anything those other crazy guys will stop him."
Ooooh she got some spirit. Even though she's probably another big wuss.
"So I heard you say something about money! Are you guys here for repairs as well? Come to think of it how are you here? Aren't you supposed to be on another trail?"

"We found the sea train. And yes, we are here for repairs. And WE were here first! So BLEEEE!"
You stick your tongue out to mock her.
>>
"But wait. When did you guys get here? Merry is the only ship at the rocky cape right now!"
Oh. The long nose guy is observant. You might pay attention to his name the next time it's mentioned.

"We're docked in Blue Station-"

"Those guys! They told us to go to the back like some second class citizens!"

"No. We got in trouble and got arrested because of it. Only reason they let us out is because my pets got out of control."

Hearing that your pets could cause such destruction freaks out the longnose guy but barely even manages to distract the girl. She seems really interested in prodding you for information. Many times regarding the money you talked about and the topic of what kind of upgrades you'll buy for your ship. Naturally you're very eager to tell her and boast about your achievements. So you tell her you stole a whole bunch of money and now you'll use it to buy a whole bunch of stuff for your ship. Her eyes actually turn into Bellies after that point and Usopp tries his best to calm her down. What an eccentric little group.

But the topic of money does bring something to your attention. Namely the three briefcases they are lugging around. The girl has one in her hand and Not-Kaku has two. You can tell from listening that they are full of money. And you're not the only one who seems to know about what's in them as you also hear faint snickering coming from the shadows of a nearby building. But the orange haired girl notices your staring and hides it behind her back.
"What are you looking at?"

"Nothing."

"Well quit it, otherwise I'll have to charge you 1 million Belli for staring at my body."

"I wouldn't stare at you even if you paid me to do it-"
This manages to both shock and insult her sufficiently enough for her to start shouting.
"Anyway, what about your money?"

"Huh?"

"That money. In the case. You brought it to buy repairs with it right?"

"W-Well yes. What's it to you?"

Maybe we'll get some insight on that vision we had way back. Plus, if Usopp doesn't leave the crew we don't get to meet his ally Sogeking. And no one wants that.

You consider telling them about the bunch of voices salivating over getting their hands on that money. Then you decide against it. Consider it a little payback for annoying you. But now you need to divert their attention.
"You might wanna be careful! Someone might try to steal it!"

"Is that a threat?"

"HEY! DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT TOUCHING OUR MONEY YOU- YOU! GUY!"

"No. Not really. But how did you get it? Seems like a lot. Of course not as much as mine but still!"

"Well in that case I don't think I'll tell you. You wouldn't believe it anyway."
Oh she already knows how to deal with you? She's quick when it comes to figuring people out that's for sure.

"Really? Is it weird?"

"Oh it is!"
She gives you a mischievous grin.
"We got it in a place called Sky Island."

"Oooooh!"

"You like that huh? Well it JUST so happens I still have a map to it! If you give us say, a hundred million Belli I'll give it to you! There is still a lot of treasure there that you could sell for money!"

"Pfffffft nope! What kind of a pirate do you think I am? If there is a sky island I'll just go there myself! I don't want your stupid sloppy seconds or your map!"

"See Nami? Even this doofus gets it!"
You're sickened to your stomach by the fact that you agree with anything this dumbass says.

Defeated in her efforts to scam you the girl gives up and just sits down on her briefcase. She starts contemplating about where that Paulie guy could be because he's been gone for a while now. Her wish is granted when he shows up but unfortunately for her he's followed by three guys who appear to be debt collectors. A small fight breaks out as he tries to get rid of the men pursuing him, which gets even worse when another one of the shipwrights is forced to intervene. It's a guy with a pidgeon on his shoulder and he starts fighting Paulie quiet seriously while the pidgeon on his shoulder insults the guy with the goggles. It's during this that you realize just how ridiculous these shipwrights are as the pidgeon guy can literally dig his fingers in the ground like it was nothing.

It's Mister Iceburg himself who has to break them up.
"Okay. That's enough. How there's not one day when you guys don't go at each others throats?"

"My most sincere apologies Mister Iceburg. But it is not my fault that Paulie is such a gambling addict and that he brings shame to our company!"

"Damn it Lucci! I'm not in the mood right now!"

Suddenly the mood gets a lot more morose with only the Straw Hats not realizing it. They immediately flock that Paulie guy who was sent to survey their ship and start asking him about what he thinks, how much it'll cost and when can they get started. Kinda like how you did. Luff even goes ahead and talks about upgrades and how they have more than enough money for it now. This... you don't like where this is going.

"Calm down kid! Let me talk first."

"Huh?"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FscTa_Nqwo

"You guys had many great adventures didn't you? I could tell just by looking at it. Truly you had a wonderful little ship-"

"Had? What are you talking about old guy?"

"It's... Well it's not easy for me to say. But you better come to terms with the fact that you won't be using that ship anymore."

That Lucci guy with the pidgeon sits down next to Paulie.
"The keel?"

"Yeap-"
Paulie tells the Straw Hats about how extensive the damage to their ship is. Saying something about a key piece being damaged beyond repair and how that means it's basically over for their ship. You don't really get it but it sounds like what would happen to a man if their spine broke. Once they realize that they won't be able to get their ship back they resort to bargaining, asking for them to rebuild the same ship. Naturally it doesn't work that way. No two men are the same, no two trees grow the same and no two ships are the same. Even if they copied it the way it's put together, the fact that it's not the same wood means it would just be a crude copy and nothing more. Meaning there is only one thing they can do: Abandon ship and get a new one. An ugly situation to be sure.

You feel a pit in your stomach and walk away from the scene. You got no place being there and frankly, you don't want to hear any more of it. Kaku sees this and separates from the crowd to talk to you.
"You're thinking that could've been you huh?"

"Yeah. I like my ship. I'm sure they did too..."

"It's not easy but, people die. And so do ships. Well, at least that means you won't have to butt heads about who gets to go first. Making a new ship takes much preparation. We should be ready to start in a few days."

"Days?"

"Forsooth. It's the weather. Something called the Aqua Laguna is happening soon. Wouldn't want your ship to get caught in it. The whole thing is basically a tsunami that washes over the entire island every now and then. Once it passes we'll begin working on your ship immediately, don't you worry!"

"Good. The sooner the better."

"Your ship should be fine in the Blue Station. But it can get a bit cramped during the Aqua Laguna. But I know a place you guys could rest at. It's a bar here in the upper districts. The owner is a weirdo but he offers rooms and his place is protected from the wave."

"Thanks. I'll do that."

"You're welcome!"

After that you move to a secluded area and take a nap. The top of the main building looks good enough. Closing your eyes you sleep until the voices of Angel and Toxin hit your ears after which you wake up and tear yourself off from the roof. Meeting them downstairs you take the money from them and covertly take it all to Iceburg so your contract can be considered officially signed. On the way there they ask you about what happened that soured the mood this much but you just tell them to keep quiet while you conduct your business. Once everything is neat and tidy you look at them and ask for the den-den mushi you know they took to keep in touch with the others.

Puru puru puru puru-gacha
"Omukade?"

"It's me Jaws."

"Oh. Silver. What's wrong? Anything happened?"

"We got a deal. They'll fix up the ship."

"Ah! That's good to hear! But what's wrong? You don't sound right."

"I'll tell you when we meet. Are you guys free?"

"Yeah. We just finished as well. Got some... complications. Should we meet up?"

"Yes-"
You give him the location of the bar Kaku mentioned and tell them to meet up there.

"Okay. We'll grab Ann and Will on the way there. Ready Marcella?"

And with that he cut the line. After returning the snail to Omukade and silently taking your leave you headed for the rendezvous point. It appears that you got there first and use that opportunity to go inside. The bar is as Kaku described, simple, cozy and has a very homey feel to it. Serving behind the bar is a guy who looks like a bull. He's big but looks friendly enough.
"Welcome. How can I help you?"

"We heard you offer rooms where we can take shelter from the Aqua Laguna."

"You heard correctly! For how many?"

"Eight."

"Ouch. That's a bit much. And rooms are in high demand for the deluge. But tell you what, if you don't mind sharing rooms then I can rent you out two until the Aqua Laguna ends."

"Much obliged!"

"You're welcome. And while you wait for the others can I offer you anything else?"
>>

But I'm drawing the line at milking Brueno!

You're feeling pretty bummed out so regular milk just won't cut it. You need something stronger so now it's time to drink heavy cream. Oh right, you can't. Fudge. When Jaws, Hook, Stitches, Ann and Will arrive they understand that something's wrong. They try to inquire about it but you're more interested in that "trouble" they found.

"Well it's not much really. Marcella lost all her money when she realized there are Bull races to bet on."

"HEY! I was going to win it back! Just needed ONE good run!"

"Yeah sure. But as it turns out that flaunting money tends to attract attention. A couple of perverts wearing fishnet stockings and fetish gear jumped us. Guess they tried to rob us-"

"I don't know. I heard them mumble something about your bounty."
Marcella corrects Murray.

"That must've been the Franky family."
The bartender speaks up.
"They are a rowdy bunch. Bounty hunters and scavengers. They make a living by capturing and handing pirates over to the government, after that they can freely dismantle their ships and sell that too. I'm surprised you guys got out of that unharmed!"

"Well they picked a fight with the wrong crowd!"
Marcella boasts.

"That's still not enough of a reason to take away their manhood Marcella."

"Shut up Murray! They got what they deserve! Anyway what's this about you being all gloomy?"

You share with them what you heard from the shipwrights about the Straw Hats and their vessel. Then Omukade fills them in on the details regarding your horrendous expenditure of money. Luckily Marcella is in no position right now to beat you up over it but she can still be surprised by the other piece of news.
"Oh wow. Their ship is toast? Huh. And ours isn't? I don't want to know what that means. Are we ACTUALLY somehow competent?"

"Miss Marcella please. Be a bit more considerate. Don't you see that this is troubling Silver?"

"Why? It's not us!"

"But it could be-"
You retort and slam your fist on the table.
"I don't want to loose my ship. Or anything for that matter. We got to get better, stronger!"

"Oh yeah? And how are we going to do that?"

"Don't know. But I'm going to sleep on it!"

I've said it before.
Combine our devil fruit power with hasshoken, since both work on the principals of vibration.
We could throw our voice to punch things with hasshoken from a distance, or even around corners.

And if we learn to find an object's resonant frequency, well...

It also works on larger obects.

>>4616656
Cute
We'll get her a womb tattoo later
Question though, how skilled is Omukade at Hasshoken? Would training together improve our technique?
>>
>>4616667
Your Hasshoken is already better than his as it's mainly a supplemental power for him. He's about weaponized poison more, and if things go well he'll receive a power up soon
>>
>>4616666
>figure out life release
I don't remember this. What is life release ?
>>
>>4616674
One of the CP9 members used it, the one with the hair. I think Lucci might have too? If I remember right it gives you control over every part of your body, which was how the hair guy controlled his hair.
>>
>>4616674
I should also mention it's what allows people like Luffy, Kid, and Silver to eat a ton then return to a normal size.
>>
>>4616676
thanks
>>
>>4616660
Life release would be good, greater control over our biology could lead to some neat things. As for the rest of Rokushiki I feel like we're spreading ourselves thin by already going for sword, gun, df and two other martial arts. Improving the tools we have would be best.
>>
>>4616697
Yea I think our loadout is fine as it is. I think focusing on what we know and combining them would be a good way to take things.
>>
>>4616706
>>4616697
Idk, we don't really have gun right now since we could only fire one blast at best currently, and the rokushiki moves are pretty damn near to have just incase we find ourselves sin situations where our df powers are nerfed again.
>>
>>4616697
We haven't had much luck with the Fishman karate, nor do we use it overmuch because of this and the obvious advantages of batfruit and hasshoken.

As far as the gun goes tho, there are definite perks to having what is essentially an anti-ship rifle while we can fly and the sword is... However I can't imagine either the jezzail or the sword is all that easy to manage while we're in the hybrid form so its perfectly understandable that we're falling behind on basically everything other then Hasshoken.

But that also means we do still have a fair few options left open to us

>>4617444
There's also the classic vibro-sword thing where very quickly shaking things cut better (or, potentially, cuts beyond the visible metal and makes vastly disproportionate wounds compared to normal stabbings.) Could also apply to claws.

Or a slow punch that transmits waves of energy into things, would be very good at demolishing buildings/ships or breaking a *lot* of bones if contact can be maintained.

Same thing as the sword could potentially be applied to ourselves, imagine us shaking to the point where our outline gets all fussy, and so our attacks might hit even if it looks like there was a few inches between us and them. Basically lag exploiting physics

Hmmm. I'm seeing some good ideas. Some of it occurred to me as well.
Vibro blades sound brutal as well as vibration manipulation on a different scale. The life release is a bit more questionable since it wasn't shown doing anything too crazy unless a zoan fruit was also in the equation. Without that it mainly allowed to control of each part of the users body, like hair, or the changing of the bodies size.
But lucky you, a zoan is exactly what you have

Makes a degree of sense, doesn't it?
A human limb is quite large, squishy and flat, no matter how you cut it (hah!) it's never going to be sharp. Now a wing membrane and claws on the other hand are very thin, so they 'could' be sharp.

And they said being a zoan would be boring.
>>
>>4617549
It's actually possible to cut things with your elbows and fists, or more specifically with your knuckles.

Any hard, pointy part of your body will do.
>>
>>4617552
Oh yea, not saying its impossible to scrape and cause some flavour of laceration with the human body.
I'm just saying: compare that to our quite thin win membrane and the bones/claws within and I think we can both agree which one is better suited for anime cutting nonsense.

"How about you guys? Found anything interesting in the city?"
You turn to your nakama after making a mental note of becoming stronger.

"Aside the perverts ambushing us and me loosing a bunch of my money on gambling? Not much."

"Not entirely true."
Jaws corrects Hook.
"We did find the market. And its considerably colorful counterpart, the black one. Turns out having a sea train and a bustling industry can do wonders for trade."

"Oh yeah, did you get what I asked for?"

"Yeap. But money first-"
Jaws holds his hand out, expecting Toxin to pay his bill which he does with a groan and hands over a 1000 Belli bill. After a smack over the head Omukade pays the correct amount, specifically 100.000 times more than that. That's pretty expensive.

"Thank you. Now here. I don't know what you want with that just leave us all the hell out of it!"

Gu snatches the bottle of clear liquid out of the fishmans hand and begins rubbing it against his cheek.
"YES! Finally!"
Seeing his extreme reaction to the bottle everyone makes sure to shuffle away with their chairs from Omukade just to be on the safe side.

"Oh I almost forgot, here doctor. The books you ordered."

"T-Thank you. I-Is that all?"

Jaws humms in a confirming manner.
"Medical books, botanical encyclopedia and... physics?"

As you're discussing what everyone's been up to during their shore leave a couple of shipwrights from the Galley La company stroll in through the front door.

"Hey Blueno! Two beers and from the cold tap this time!"

"You guys? Isn't it a bit early for getting hammered?"

"Stop being a wise-ass and give us something! We didn't come to spend our breaks idly chatting!"

"Okay okay. How are things at the company by the way?"

"Same old same old. Some pirates refused to pay us, beat the crap out of them, the Franky Family is up to no good as usual."

"Hmmmm. They seem to be quite active today. Something must've riled them up."

"It's the Straw Hats I tell you. Got to be. Word is they stole a bunch of money from them. Even beat up one of their crewmembers! Some guy with a really long nose. I haven't seen that much blood in a while."

Wait. The long nose guy? Uh oh. He was the one carrying two of the three suitcases they had. The cases that had the money they need for a new ship. That reminds you... their ship is dying.

To be fair on top of everything else Silver couldn't give less of a fuck about Usopp. But Merry when there is a clear connection between her and the Dauntless? Yeah that's a different matter

Great. Now you're sad again. That ship they have, it keeps popping into your mind. No matter how much you want to push it into the back of your mind it keeps bugging you and unless you get it out of your system you won't be able to rest tonight. Standing up from the table you walk away without a word.
"Oy Silver! What are you doing?"

"I'm going for a walk. Need fresh air."

The others just shrug knowing full well that at this point it's pointless to try and stop you. And by now they hardly even care about the potential havoc you can wreak. After kicking down the door and taking flight you start searching for a rocky cape. According to the locals that's where pirates typically anchor down so that's your best bet. Naturally you have to circle the entire island and only at the very end do you find the place you're looking for. Typical. But at the very least it's not very hard to find the ship itself since it's the only one around. Strange, you assumed there would be more given how much of a hotspot Water 7 seems to be. Whatever. As you land on top of a nearby junk heap you turn back into a human and walk towards the silly looking goat ship. But before you even get close your ears become privy of a particularly loud conversation going on on board.

"This is all YOUR FAULT you stupid Marimo! If you dealt with them when they boarded the Merry they couldn't have hurt Usopp!"

"Huh? And what exactly did you expect me to do about them shit-cook? Kill them all?"

"I-ARGH!"
They seem to be arguing amongst themselves. And while it may sound genuine at first it's obvious they are just all very irritated both because one of their friends were hurt and because of the condition of their ship. But it's not like you care about them so you keep going. However their shouting quickly stops as they become aware of your presence.
"Oy."

"Yeah on it. HEY! What the hell are you doing here? You looking for trouble?"

You ignore them and get within touching distance of the ship when the blond guy points at you.
"H-Hey look! Isn't that guy familiar?"

For the briefest moment you glare at them and they seem to recognize who you are, probably from your bounty. But the reverse can't really be said. You've seen the green haired guy once and know about his bounty. "Pirate Hunter" Roronoa Zoro, bounty of 60.000.000. But the other guy is a mystery. However he's clearly strong as well.

You only give the two straw hats a passing glance and don't even wait for their response.
"You got a nice ship. I just want to talk to it."

They don't really know how to react to that as they've never heard such a ludicrous thing before and collectively decide to simply ignore you until you do something stupid. Which is good because you don't feel like dealing with them either. Walking right up to the hull of the ship you reach out and touch it. Gently caressing it you feel the true extent of the damage that's been done to it. The ship is not pretty at all, it's full with patchwork repairs, ugly plates of iron and random wooden boards hammered into shape to vaguely resemble a ship. Yet underneath the damage is much worse. A great wound running down the middle, reinforced but for how long? You can hear it clearly, the entire ship weighing down on the broken keel and slowly but surely splitting it in half. It's in a great deal of pain and won't last much longer.

"Hello."

"Hi."

You smile.
"My name is Silver."

"You can hear me? I'm Merry."

"Nice to meet you Merry."
You feel something strange in your chest and your lips curl into an uncomfortable smile.
"I heard you're sick. And I... I came to apologize. I didn't mean to hurt you back then when I kicked you."

"That's okay. My friend also hit your ship."

You start walking alongside the hull, not breaking contact with it once.
"I heard you're sick. I'm sorry. You're a good ship you know? I'm sure you had many good adventures."

"I did. But don't be sad. It's alright. I'm not angry. Far from it! And I'm only said because I wanted to take everyone just a little bit farther. I wanted to have more adventures with them. But I was happy. I was always happy! They always treated me well. I had a good life!"

You can't help but pull your hat over your eyes.
"That's nice. You're a good ship Merry. If I didn't have my own I would've been happy if you were mine!"

"Ah. Thank you! And I'm sure you would've taken good care of me as well!"

"I just hope I'm taking care of the one I have now. Of everyone! But I can promise you that I will work hard, a lot harder to keep them safe!"

"That's good! And I'm sure Dauntless thinks the same way I do. Just give her some time!"

*looks sideways at the people who keep calling her a skank*

Yes. Yes we really do... Hm, we're already buying her some upgrades but that's for us as much as for her... We should get her something nice, *slams fist into palm* I know! We find a girl and ask her what kind of presents girls like!
Pretty sure Angel is the only one in our crew so we should ask her next time we're all gathered (yes there is a joke in there)
>>
"That makes me happy! But Merry, can I ask you a question?"

"Sure."

"Why keep going? It must hurt a lot. You know it's time for you to go. So why don't you rest? Why are you holding together?"

The Merry is silent for a good few moments.
"Because I have to. I must hold out just a little bit longer."

What a strong little ship. And how talkative. You wish that yours was like this. But every time you tried to chat with it she just stayed silent and made everyone think you're just a weirdo who talks to himself all the time. You sniff a little and blow your nose just so you can talk at least a little bit normally.
"Well, I understand. Will you tell them how you felt though?"

"I don't know. Maybe. I'd love to but I'll wait for when the time is right."

"Maybe that's for the better. Well, I won't bother you anymore. I'm sure you want to spend your remaining time with them and not some random pirate. Take care Merry. It was a pleasure knowing you, even for a little while."

As you turn around to leave the Merry calls out one last time.
"Wait! Can I ask you for a favor?"

"A favor? For a dead ship?"

"Yes. I know you are enemies but... Could you look after them? At least for a little bit? Until someone new comes to take my place. They need friends now. I'll understand if you say no. But I just had to ask-"

>Sure.
>I'll... try
>That's not something I can promise.
>Other?

>>4623595
>I'll... try

>>4623595

You can't deny a last wish, that's against the rules. I don't know what rules, but its definitely against them.

>>4623595
>Sure.
Dude I can't imagine Silver telling her no after all of this, even if he doesn't like Luffy.

We wouldn't want them to die too early, who else do we have to flex to?

it's only until they get a new ship, not forever.
We can be nice'r until then. For Merry.

>>4623595
>That's not something I can promise.
>>
>>4623595
>Sure
>And that's a promise

It's only for a little while, and besides, the way I see it, we could fake out the world government into thinking the Straw Hat and Silver Pirates are in an alliance by helping them raid Ennies Lobby! Jjst imagine all the confiscated dosh in there that we can get in a totally non-meta-gamey way!

You sigh as you consider the ships proposition.
"I... can't. We walk different paths. I wouldn't like it if they got in my business."

"Please!"

You raise a hand but just end up wagging your finger. It's against the rules to deny someones dying wish isn't it? Not sure which ones but some at the very least.
"Okay. I'll try. But only until they get a new ship. After that it's her responsibility not mine!"

"Promise?"

You walk up to the ship and bump it slightly with your fist since you can't really do a pinky swear with it.
"Promise."

"Yes! Thank you!"

Without any more words you turn around and leave in the same manner you came, leaving the two straw hats on board wondering what the hell just transpired. They pretty much conclude that you're just a nutjob and leave it at that, since you're not a hostile nutjob. But that's pretty much all that you needed out of that. A good little chat with the dying ship. What weird words to string together. However the Merrys conviction did move you since that is exactly how you'd handle death if it came to you. Just hold out until the very last moment so you can be as helpful for your friends as possible then laugh in deaths face because what's it gonna do, kill you? On the way back you take a little detour to the Blue Station and pat Dauntless for a little to reassure her she'll be taken care of soon and then finally go back to the bar where you left the others.

"I'm back!"
The others have pretty much been partying since you left and by this point most of them are quite tipsy already. You move over to the bartender and ask him if your men were causing him any trouble.

"Not at all. In fact you guys might be the only people who leave tips in this town. It's quite refreshing."

"Hey Silver! Where have you been?"
Hagetaka asks as she pats you on the shoulder.

"Got air. Any news while I was gone?"

"Not really. There are some rumors that the Straw Hats are looking for trouble and that the Franky Family is acting quite suspicious. You can put 2 and 2 together I'm sure."

"They are going to fight huh? Guess they want their money back."
You wonder about helping them with that but decide against it. Those perverts the others talked about don't sound strong at all so they probably can handle that. However there is still the matter of helping them as per Merrys request. Since you promised you just gotta do it. But what about the others?
"Guys. I made a decision."

"Hmmmm?"
The partying stops as your crew looks at you.

"I decided we'll be friendly with the Straw Hats until they get a new ship."

"Huh? What's gotten into you? Work together with those loosers?"

"No Hook. We don't work together with them. We just go and have some fun in the area if they are having trouble there. That's it. Once we get out of Water 7 or they get a new ship you're free to throw rotten eggs at them. Here. I already had some prepared-"

"WHATTHEFUCK THROW THAT OUT!"

After the others force you to abandon your future ammunition they all agree with your orders even though they don't really know what compelled you to make it. They even ask if they should go and start "playing" around the vicinity of the Franky House just to be on the safe side but you tell them it's not necessary and start stealing the drinks of others since you can't buy your own. The partying goes on afterwards with everyone being very generous with their money, no doubt making the owner a very happy man. During your several hour long debauchery other guests show up and allow you to gleam some information out of them. Apparently the Straw Hats did go through their assault of the Franky House in the afternoon but the details are a bit hazy. Well not like it matters, after all you called it right. They didn't need your help. The merryment keeps going until the sun starts setting at which point even your hardy boys and girls start feeling the effects of the feast and they slowly but surely retreat to the shared rooms.

By the end only you remain, the only one who hasn't consumed any alcohol or not too young like Will. You sit alone at your table stirring the last bit of the applejuice you stole from Will in exchange for a few shiny rocks you found at the beach, which was most likely scrap metal. The bartender slowly walks over to you while cleaning some glasses.
"Are you gonna stay up for much longer? I'd like to close up shop soon."

"Hmmmm? We have to stay in our rooms the entire night? What if I have to go to pee?"

"No. You have a key to your room and are free to come and go as you please. But the law says I can't close the bar until the last guest leaves and before that more people can come in. So-"

>Okay I'll go to my room
>Okay. I'll head into the town then. Not feeling sleepy yet

"Okay. Then I'll head out for the night. It's okay if I come in through the window?"

"Only if you don't break it. But where are you going at this time of the day if you don't mind me asking? There is not much to do in the city this late."

Adjusting your coat you give him a truthful answer.
"Can't sleep. So I'll go and look at the sea. That usually helps me rest."

"Okay. I'll lock up then. Good night."

Nodding you leave the bar and fly down to the beach where you look for a comfy spot to rest at. Sitting down you start looking out at the sea and allow yourself to be lost in your own little mind for a while. As you get lost in your memories the air around you cools down quite a bit, no doubt due to the deepening night. However your comfy little nap is disturbed when your ears prick up. Normally you wouldn't be so easily dragged back into reality but the unmistakable sound of a distant gunshot will do it. You transform into a bat to get a better read on things. Though the echo of the gun has already faded the chaos it birthed is still making noise. The entire island is rumbling in response. Someone just tried to kill an important person and not down here, no. It happened on the upper levels. And it's very likely that this means Mr Icecream was attacked. Now your gut is telling you to investigate it.

Flying back in the city you locate a particularly tall structure, a clocktower will do, and land on it. Observing the city you search for the culprits. It should be easy as the noises must be following them. And you do find the source of the trouble. Taking off in a hurry you cut in front of the ones running away from the scene of the crime. You do manage to get a glimpse of the people making a scene. But what you see is both something familiar and something you never would've expected. The sight shocks you so much that you forget about what you're doing and crash into a building with your small, bat body. When you pry yourself away from the brick wall you try to piece together what just happened as an angry mob runs past you, not paying attention to the bat in the suit.

"Those eyes... Where have I seen those eyes? Ah yes! I remember where I saw her before! But she got bigger! Devil Child, Nico Robin. What the hell is she doing here? And most importantly, would she sign my bounty poster?"
You got so star struck seeing another famous West Blue pirate that you completely forgot about catching her. Oh well, better luck next time.

After managing to free yourself from the embrace of the bricks you went and looked around the city for a little bit in the hopes of finding Nico Robin. At first you just wanted to see what she was doing here and maybe get her to sign her bounty poster but after a while it became personal. There is no way someone could just disappear into thin air like that and it started to bother you that she gave you the slip like that. However despite even your incredible ears you couldn't find her or even a trace of her ever being there in the first place. You kept this up so long that your sense of time got all messed up and didn't realize the sun started to rise. With baggy eyes you looked at the first rays of light and grumbled to yourself in defeat.
"Morning huh?"

Annoyed you walked back to Bluenos bar and entered when the others were already busy with dinner. They took one look at you and could see that something's not right, even beyond the fact that they couldn't find you in the guys room in the morning.
"Wow you look like shit-"
Marcella speaks with her pancakes almost sliding out of her mouth.

"S-Silver!"
Ann rushes up to you and begins cleaning the grime off your cheeks with a handkerchief.
"You're all dirty! What were you doing?"

"I was playing hide and seek. I lost... What's for breakfast?"

"A mug of oatmeal. That's all you're getting after the stunt you pulled with your money-"

"Thanks Toxin."
CRUNCH

After witnessing you eat the mug as well Gu flies into a rage and begins strangling you once he realizes he has to pay for the mug now as well. As he continues to choke you however a loud, blaring alarm interrupts you in your shared breakfast as a series of loudspeakers come to life.
"Attention please! This is the Water 7 Weather Forecast Center. An Aqua Laguna warning has been issued for the entire island. Its arrival at Water 7 is estimated to be shortly after midnight."

"Huh..."

"It's one thing after another in this place huh?"
Jaws speaks up as he flips through the papers.
"Look. Not only that but apparently Mister Iceburg, the Mayor has been attacked yesterday. What is going on in this place?"
As he continues his eyes snap open and the cup of coffee he's drinking falls out of his hands. The shattering ceramic attracts everyones attention to him and they begin asking him what's wrong.
"Oy oy oy... this... can't be, right? It's not what I think it is! Is it?!"

He turns the papers so everyone can see them. Just a little bit under the headline you can make out the following sentences:
"The attack is currently treated as an armed robbery as a large amount of money has been stolen from Mister Iceburgs estate. The exact number is unknown however it is estimated to be in the millions."

>We MUST go there at once!
>Let's not get carried away. If it's our money they'll tell us I'm sure

You think about that for a while before slamming down your fist on the table.
"Hook! We're going!"

"Eh? But I'm eating!"

"Then finish and let's go! I don't know if it's our money but even if it is, it's not our money anymore. We paid Icecream now it's his money. And he still owes us a ship. But this does sound interesting!"

"So you wanna go there just because it sounds fun? Do it. Just leave me out of it!"

"No. I wanna go there because there are now a lot of Bellies out there that a few pirates could pirateer!"

GULP
"Oh? I like that line of thinking! Okay let's go! You jackasses stay here and keep the beds warm. Don't wanna loose our rooms when the Aqua Laguna hits!"

"Don't worry. We're not planning on going anywhere."
Jaws waves you off and so do the rest of them.

Once outside you decide to forego Bulls and just take the Silver Express straight to the top and good thing too because there is quite a lot of congestion's in the waterways right now as everyone and their mothers want to check up on Iceburg. Apparently a lot of people want to go in just to check on the mayor but the big iron doors are closed before them and if anyone tries to jump the waist high fence they get pummeled by the dock workers. Only the press are allowed to go in and even they aren't allowed in the main building. You land down right in front of the big iron door and the people around you are already raising their voices in frustration.

"HEY YOU! WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?! GET IN LINE LIKE EVERYONE ELSE! Only the reporters and concerned parties get to cut in the line!"

"I am a concerned party you weenies. Now out of my way-"
You step through the guys and with a simple push on both sides of the door you open them like a regular saloon door, creating quite the dust storm as the gargantuan gates swing open wildly. The crowd behind you retreats just a bit as they pee their pants. But before you could step through you hear loud shouting coming from the sky.

"STRAW HAT!"

You look over your shoulders and up at a bridge behind you to see three figures hiding behind some sort of veil and dancing. Apparently they are looking for the straw hats. But that's not your monkey, not your circus. Or at least you would ignore them if they didn't drop the blanket and strike a funky pose while calling out the Straw Hats. Your eyes turn into glistening stars and you feel compelled to copy their pose but Marcella ruins your fun and drags you in by the ear.

"You can clown around later! But we got business to do!"

"B-But SUUUUPER!"

"No. You're the captain. You should act like it once in a BLUE GOD DAMN MOON!"

Marcella makes you close the doors on the way in and pushes you through the crowd of journalists and breaks down the door of the big building Iceburg lives in, which is still technically part of the Galley La company. At this point the shipwrights come around and greet you with weapons as only now do they realize you kicked down their doors. A lot of them seem quite antsy and all of the high ranking foremen are here armed with their signature weapons and ready to throw down. Paulie takes charge of the situation and speaks for the others.

"Hey hey, what the hell are you people thinking barging in just like that? People might get the wrong idea and assume you're here to finish the job. So you'd better start talking quickly before we decide to be on the safe side and bury you right here!"

Marcella lets go of you and takes the lead.
"You idiots don't get to order us around! We heard about your little "incident". Care to explain what the hell is going on? Or more importantly... what kind of money got stolen! Because if it was OUR 500.000.000 we might have a little problem on our hands!"

Paulie seems nervous.
"Five hundred? The papers were not given the amount stolen... That must mean YOU stole it!"

"IT MEANS WE WERE THE ONES WHO DEPOSITED IT YOU RETARDS!"
She takes out her baseball bat and smacks Paulie in the face who ricochets around the hallway like a baseball.

"Coo coo. Sorry Miss. But everyone is a little bit agitated right now."
The guy with the pigeon on his shoulder speaks up.
"After Mister Iceburg got attacked we can't afford to be careless. But yes, it is true. The money that was stolen was yours. To top it all off Mister Iceburg was shot 13 times. 5 times in the front and 8 in the back. It was quite a gruesome assault. But worry not. We at the Galley La company never fail to deliver. Even if it means we'll have to cover the missing money ourselves, your ship will be completed."

"It better be!"

"Coo coo. But if you could leave now we'd appreciate it. Mister Iceburg is in a critical state and hasn't woken up yet from his coma. So we-"
Looks like your position is secure. Still, you smell an opportunity here.

Should we just blurt out that we may have some information about the case(seeing Nico Robin fleeing the scene)? It could help our bargaining posture and on a meta level their reactions to it would be revealing to Silver

>>4629384
>What can you tell us about the attack?
>>
>>4629398
Eh, I'd much rather hunt down the bastards who tried to interfere with Dauntless' upgrades/makeover then babysit someone (and steal our money back, lets not forget about stealing our money back)... And for some reason I have a difficult time seeing Silver sitting still when something goes down, and we did kind of promise Marcella that we'd get the cash.
>>
>>4629384
>What can you tell us about the attack?
>>
>>4629404
I thought this option was to be hired to hunt down the assassins not guard Icecream. I agree Silver, despite having the skills to make a great sentry does not have the personality for it.
>>
>>4629415
I mean, maybe? But "they'l probably be back" sounds a lot more like "keep the guy alive" then it does "manhunt" to me. Could be wrong tho, and if you're right then I'd happily change my vote to that.

It would be nice for him to show some cunning by getting hired to do the thing we were gonna do anyway... But then again, that would probably entail getting paid to return the money... And we could just not get paid and keep it instead.

Choices, choices.
>>
>>4629384
>What can you tell us about the attack?
Honestly, I'm not sure how to go about this all. Our agenda as anons have said is the ship, its completion, and possibility to steal "back" our money. Maybe if we can figure something out from them regarding the money itself?
>>
Hmmmm anons are clever enough that they figured out my ruse.
Yes, Silver would mean "I'll hunt those guys for you" while the shipwrights would have him sit directly in front of Iceburgs room as a bodyguard
Instead you'll be asking information to conduct your investigation

You may have thrown a wrench in my machinations but that's okay

As he goes on you raise your hand and shut him up.
"Who attacked?"

"Coo coo. We don't know. And until Mister Iceburg wakes up we won't be able to-"

As he speaks the sadistic secretary of the mayor comes in, her eyes and cheek flushed with red, a proof of her recent crying. She tries to dry up her tears and blows her nose into a piece of cloth before addressing the workers.
"Everyone. Mister Iceburg... has finally come to!"

There is much joy among the workers to the point that they simply ignore the two pirates right in front of them and run back right to their beloved boss. Kalifa the secretary urges everyone that they must be quiet when entering. Thanks to everyones attention being on the bossman you can slip in with everyone. One loud mouthed guy immediately gets thrown out while everyone else gets to meet Iceburg. The workers all thank the heavens for his safety and tell him how glad they are that he's fine. Judging from his voice Iceburg must be very weak as a result of his injuries and bloodlust.

"Argh! I can't hear a thing!"
Hook whispers to you but you don't pay much attention to her. Instead focusing on Iceburgs weak voice. When the workers ask him who attacked you actually hear him giving an answer!

"There was two of them. It was... a man in a disguise. He wore a big costume and a mask so I don't know who he is. But the other, there's no mistaking it. Those eyes, those dark eyes could only belong to... Nico Robin."

The shipwrights get very worked up and start asking who that Nico Robin is that Iceburg mentioned. They get very uproarious when they see a bounty poster fixed above Iceburgs bed belonging to her. You hear Kalifa adjusting her glasses and without missing a beat she gives them a quick rundown.
"Nico Robin, bounty of 79.000.000 Bellies. Affiliated with the Straw Hat Pirates."

"Damn those guys! Do they want revenge because we told them we can't fix their ship?!"

Hook is taken aback by the quick shift in the mood and you pull her out of there. She's looking at you expecting an explanation.
"Did you hear what they were talking about? Who wanted revenge?"

"They said it was Nico Robin and a man in a costume."

"Nico Robin? THE Nico Robin from West Blue?"

"Yes. And they are saying she's with the Silly Hat pirates?"

"The- Who?"

"The Straw Hats! The ones with Goofy! Aren't you paying attention?!"

"Huh? Those jabronies? They don't strike me as the bloodthirsty kind. Then again, I didn't know they had terrorists in their crew. So? What do we do now? Get the Straw Hats? They might still be at the entrance! If we act quick-"

"No. We gather the boys and look for the man in the costume-"

"Are you dumb? We have a name and a face! And you want to look for the guy in the disguise?!"

"Yes."

"Okay. Care to tell me WHY?!"

"No."

You don't really want to argue with Hook about making a promise to a ship. But even if that wasn't the case you don't think Nico Robin is the one you should worry about. The Straw Hats, as much as you dislike them wouldn't do something like this and from what you remember about Ohara and how suspicious it was you don't think this is as clear as it seems. There is something going under the surface. Especially when you consider that they COULD have given Nico Robin a disguise as well but didn't. Someone did an eggy fart and is now pointing at Luff, saying he did it. No. You won't be fooled. The only question now is how you'll manage that? Well first you need to get back to the others.

"Hook. Hop on."

With a little resistance Marcella jumps on your back as you head out of the mansion. Outside you see Goofy fighting with the guy who did that sick pose back then. It looks like they made quite a mess of the place in the short time you were in there with cranes being broken and junk littering the entire dock. You decide to ignore them and take flight but see that the shipwrights, having learned about Nico Robins involvement came to apprehend Luffy. This really pisses off the blue haired guy who prepares to unleash some big attack, saying that nobody butts in on his fight and gets away with it. The Galley La workers get antsy seeing this.

"A cannon?"

"Nope. It doesn't shoot cannon balls! It's just a little bit of air that happens to be traveling at supersonic speeds! Haaaaaaaaaaaaaa-HAAAAAAAAAA! COUP DE VENT!"

He fires his weapon which breaks a crane in half and obliterates an entire ship behind it, as well as allowing the Straw Hats to escape the scene. Hook watches this in disbelief and urges you to keep flying so you get away from this madness. But all the while all you can do is smile. This was exactly what you needed all this time!
>>
While everyone is occupied by the fallout you rush back to Bluenos bar and gather everyone outside. You give them all a quick rundown about the situation regarding Iceburg and the potential connection between the assassins and the Strawhats themselves. But you quickly point out how you'll be looking for the other culprit instead. They scratch their heads, not knowing how to even begin that but you tell them that if need be you'll scour the entire city for it. After all how hard could it be to find a single man? Especially when he's an assassin that doesn't want to be found.

"There is just one problem Silver."

"What is it Jaws?"

"Aqua Laguna. It's happening tonight, remember? Whatever we do we have to do it quick and get back here before midnight."

"Oh shoot. You're right. Hold on, I'll go and talk with Blueno a little."

Entering back the bar you go and find nobody inside even though the bartender was just there a minute ago. You slam your hand on the table a few times before he comes out.
"Sorry. I got a lot of things to take care of before tonight. Need to prepare for the Aqua Laguna."

"Hey Blueno, we're going to explore the city a bit. Kinda need to find someone. Would it be okay if we came back before midnight?"

"Hmmmmm. I don't like it. You shouldn't tempt fate like that. But I'll leave the doors open until 10. If you don't get back before that I'm locking you out."

"Oh come on can't you give us just one more hour?"

"No. We'll need all the time we can get to make sure everything is insulated. Otherwise we'll all be washed away. Two hours before midnight, not a second later. Understood?"
Damn. He got a lot colder there. Guess that Laguna is pretty bad news after all. So you nod in acknowledgement and he sighs.
"Good. Now if you'll excuse me I need to go back to the basement. And remember. Ten."

You nod and go back to the front door while Blueno goes to the trap door behind the bar. Strange, you don't remember seeing a trap door there but you probably just didn't notice it before. However when he opens it your ears catch something that make you pause. It's unmistakable, you heard someone breathing down there. After closing the door and going back to your friends you look at Murray.

"Jaws. Has anyone come to the bar while we were gone?"

"No. Why?"

"And I don't remember anyone coming in yesterday either."

"Wouldn't know about that. But you were the most sober person yesterday so I believe you. Why?"

"Then we have a problem."
It's a hunch, nothing more. But all of a sudden you're very suspicious. There is another person inside, one that was either here for several days without leaving the cellar or one that got in without anyone noticing.

"Silver?"

"Ann. I need some help."

"E-Eh? Me?"

"Yeap. Follow me."

You take her back inside and swiftly transform into a small bat and urge Ann to follow suit. She reluctantly does as you tell her and turns into a spider that's even smaller than you are. You lead her up to the place you saw Blueno descend but find nothing.
"What are we looking for?"

"Shhhhh! There should be a door here... Hmmmm. Ah, there's a hole!"

Indeed in the wall you see a little crevice most likely made by a common mouse. It's most likely your best bet inside and lead Ann in there. She really doesn't like the dirty, dusty, cobweb littered hole but you urge her to remain quiet as you descend. On the way there you encounter the mice that owns the place and the local spiders but kick their tiny little asses and proceed to the basement where you get a pretty nice view of the place through another hole that the mouse made. In there you get to see, surprise surprise, Blueno... with a guest.

"Who's she?"

"Nico, Robin!"

"T-The one that almost killed the mayor? This is pretty bad."

"Shhhhh!"

You give the place a quick glance and see something else of great interest. A big luggage that, unlike everything else down there, is brand new and conveniently big enough to hide 500 million Belli. Ignoring that for the moment you focus on remaining silent and listening in on their conversation.

"I'm glad you understand the situation you're in. Now I'll remove your handcuffs in preparation for tonight. If you try to resist or run away you know what will happen to you."

"I do."

"Good. We'll attack tonight with full force, after which we'll leave via the sea train."

"Does that mean your associates will be there as well?"

"Yes. The other CP9 agents will be there. But you just do what you're told and nothing bad will happen."

"I understand."

"Good. Now eat. You'll need the strength for the assault."

As you lean in closer to get a better look Ann climbs on your back and makes you loose balance a little. You knock over a pebble smaller than the tip of your wing and it falls on a table below. To your shock the bull guy immediately turns to look in the direction of the sound. He must have some crazy ears, which is bad for you. If you made a move on the money or even if just left the hole he'll most definitely notice you.
"What should we do Silver?"

"Ann. Go back and tell the others to come and break the floor. I'll handle this guy."

"You sure you'll be alright Silver?"

"Don't worry I got this!"

Ann scuttles away on her tiny legs back where you came from and once she's a safe distance away you jump out from your hole with all the elegance, grace and subtlety of an explosion.
"COME AND BITE ME YOU STUPID BASTARDS!"

"Hmmm? What?"

"..."

Drawing your weapons you point at Blueno.
"Look I don't know how you could even let Iceburg owe you so much but I'm sure that 500.000.000 Bellies are a little overkill for something so petty?"

"What is he talking about?"

"No idea. Nico Robin, dispatch him. We must leave no witnesses."

Without a word Robin crosses her arms and suddenly several limbs sprout from your body, three arms per each limb and two for your neck. They wrap themselves around you and begin bending your body in ways it was not meant to be bent. They pull on your joints, making your legs buckle and your arms straighten while your neck is bending backward, about to break. Grunting and groaning you try to resist and flex your muscles hard enough to fight back to the point that the woman is wincing.
"He's... too resilient."

"I see that. Fine. I'll do it."

The arms disappear and your crackling bones are allowed to rest. Coughing and struggling to take in air you look at the bull guy.
"What are you gonna fight me properly now? Then come on! I thought you're a good guy but now I'll kick your-"

"Shigan."
He pokes you with his hand fast enough that you can't even react to it and his finger pierces your skin effortlessly, as if someone just stabbed you with a spear. In your surprise you hesitate to retaliate but eventually do so but your wild flailing fails to connect with him.
"Kami-e."
He's perfectly capable of evading all your attacks without effort and he even manages to knock your arms away before winding up a big kick.
"Rankyaku."

His kick feels more like being hit with a massive sword and you get flung into the wall of the basement. Looking down you see a huge gash from which blood keeps spurting with each heartbeat. He slowly walks up to you and grabs you by the throat, his ridiculously strong fingers digging into your neck.
"Hmmm. How unfortunate. We were going to frame you for the incident. The 500 million Belli in your ship and our forged paperwork would've diverted all attention away from us. But now I have no choice but to dispose of you. Don't worry. Your friends will soon follow you."
He tightens his grip and all the saliva squirts out of your mouth as your head starts turning blue. You try to kick him to free yourself but he doesn't even budge.
"You should've known your place and stayed out of this..."

"FISHMAN KARATE SECRET TECHNIQUE-"

"Wha-"

The roof breaks as the heavy anchor crashes through it and several pirates fall through. The blast was enough to knock you out of Bluenos grasp but he doesn't seem too bothered by any of this. He keeps staring with that blank expression of his and speaking in that monotone voice.
"Unfortunate. It appears we're outnumbered and we lost the element of surprise. Come, Nico Robin. We must regroup and adjust the plan accordingly."

Blueno then grabs a lantern off the wall and throws it against several crates of previously prepared explosives before somehow opening a door in the wall and leaving through it. Luckily for you the crew is ready and they handle things rather well with Jaws spewing water to extinguish the flame and Angel covering the already lit explosives with a wall of black glass before it explodes. Lyda rushes up to you and begins mending your wounds immediately.
"This is bad, your previous bindings were not removed and you're already injured again!"

"I don't care! Just remove the bandages and stitch this together!"

Lyda nods and removes the restrictive cloth wraps before using Marcellas devil fruit to staple your huge gash together. Once the situation is stabilized Toxin looks around and asks the obvious.
"Okay can anyone tell me what the hell is going on? Who was that bartender?"

"I don't know."
You pant.
"But he said they'll attack Icecream this night. He told me to come back before 10 so that's when they'll attack."

"R-Right before the Aqua Laguna? Isn't that dangerous?"

"Smart."
Jaws observes.
"Everyone will be busy getting through the deluge. And it conveniently covers their escape. But who are these guys? And what do they want from Iceburg or the Straw Hats? Or us for that matter?"

"I don't know. But Icecream owes them 9 cheesy pizzas... That must be why they want him so bad. But I just want to know what makes a pizza so special that it costs hundreds of millions of belli."

Everyone looks at you in utter confusion.
"WHAT?"

"He said something about CP9. 9 Cheese Pizzas."

I just had a thought. Could we theoretically master Fishman Karate to the point where we could use our heat to boil the water inside of people, or cause the water in the air to turn into steam?
>>
>>4630318
Maybe? I imagine that's like, a New World tier tyoe thing. Right now I'm more concerned if we'd be able to adapt the Rokushiki Blueno just hit us with. Cause Silver has the weird habit of just picking things up right? But does he have the physical capabilities to pull off Rokushiki techniques?
>>
>>4630763
We're probably gonna roll for em. If Luffy can figure out the mechanics behind some of them, Silver probably can too. Though, imagine if we eventually figure out roukougan. Silver would be insane.
>>
>>4630952
>>4630763
>Rokushiki
Doable. Some of it
>Rokuogun
Definitely not. Unless you guys REALLY want it and the dice allows you won't get all 6 of the Rokushiki.
Silvers memory is very good but if he can't figure out the trick to each of them he won't be able to stea- learn it. Like Soru or Rankyaku are relatively easy to figure out if hard to perform. While Tekkai is a bit harder. For Silver that would just look like them standing still and somehow becoming hard as iron

It's simple. Like how your peepee gets stiff when you think good thoughts. You just gotta think things that make your body stiff instead.

The power of the brain is unsurpassable.

I dunno, maybe? But I'd prefer to leave the Fishman karate more or less alone; on the one hand we have some amazing shit already going on that's developing into a nice and unique flavour of anime fightan magic and on the other we already have Jaws who has fishman karate as his entire *thing* and I really don't like the idea of stepping on toes.
>>
>>4632722
To continue my train of thoughts:

We also didn't really 'earn' the fishman karate, we just kind of asked Jaws and he said sure, why not? and that was that.
The Hasshoken on the other hand was a little arc in and of itself, we had to struggle and put in effort for it. We had to go out of our way to earn the chance to learn it and in the end we even impressed the master who chose to acknowledge us and help us escape the marines after impressing him. That's a strong narrative and, in my opinion, it'd be a shame to throw that away and focus on the former rather then the latter.
>>
>>4632747
I'd say fishman karate does have meaning, in our bond with Jaws. If anything wasn't earned that's our Devil Fruit.
>>
>>4632761
hey we stole that fruit fair and square
>>
>>4632761
I dunno, with the fruit (I'm guessing) it was because we picked the most difficult out of 3 options, rolled well and got a little lucky in whatever manner Spooky decides loot.

There's a bit of choice, adversity to overcome... It was a little dropped in our laps, but we had to work for it and (knowingly or not) actively pursue it.
It is a good point with Jaws tho, I can't imagine it being shared around nilly willy. Still, it is I would argue the weaker of the narratives so far.
>>
>>4632785
>>4632761
Yeah. The less risky ships would not have had devil fruits in them. However you would've encountered one down the line anyway under different circumstances. And it would not have been very glamorous either. It wouldn't have been a sacred treasure or something fancy like that.
Because I like the randomness of the fruits. You can walk around and just bump into one, still on a tree and just waiting for someone to eat it. It's a chance encounter, not a fated one.
Yeah some fruits are special and have a lot of meaning behind them like the Mera Mera or the Ope Ope no Mi. But one is tied to its previous user and the latter was meant to be a cure and nothing else. Luffy found his in a box, Chopper ate one in the wild.
It's just there, hanging around. And You have to make the choice of eating it. Because the Devil only makes an offer, you are the one who takes it

But I understand how some might disagree. It being something that you earn does sound good. I just feel that making someone elses power yours is also cool, part of the reason why I'm kinda like Sabo. Because he doesn't just throw Hiken around all the time and mixed the fire powers with his Ryusoken
>>
>>4632821
I thought it was a perfectly organic way of introducing it, a little sudden but that's the way with the fruits... They're just kind of there and its up to you what to do with it.
>>
>>4632821
I think it was a good reward. Looking back on it, it must've been pretty surprising to hear a kid, some washed up pirate, and a fishman took out a marine vessel while fighting some other pirates. I'd say it was a decent reward. I think just randomly finding it was also the best way for us to get ahold of it., because they don't seem to have any rhyme or reason for where they grow where they do.

CP9
The mere mention of that name brings with it a chill that freezes most everyone present, nearly turning them into living statues, except for Will who's too young to know what that is, as well as Angel and Stitches who lived very sheltered lives. But the rest know full well what that means and they go through several stages of grief in an instance to arrive right at "Bargaining".

"WHAT did you say Silver?"
Hook starts the shouting before she begin biting on her nails.

"Sister! You were there with him! Is that true?"

"I don't know Mister Murray. I didn't hear their conversation-"

"Damn it! Damn it!"

Meanwhile you're just blinking randomly as Stitches is cleaning out and suturing your wounds.
"I don't get it. I mean yeah, pizza without meat is pointless like sitting on an antmound without covering yourself in honey but it's not THAT bad."

"No Silver, listen! Are you positive about him saying CP9?!"
You nod at Jaws' question and he looks defeated.
"Damn it! Okay, let me explain. You know the Marines, right? Well they are just one of the tools of the government, specifically a hammer or a closed fist. But they have other tools for different jobs, that's what Cipher Pol or "CP" is for short. They are more of a precision tool like the scalpel Lyda is using right now. There are 8 working for the government plus a special one that answers directly and exclusively to the Tenryubito and they all specialize in different things, anything from sabotage to espionage. But there are rumors about a secret 9th Cipher Pol. CP9, the governments assassins."

"Shit. Guess they weren't just a myth after all. Would've been nice. Oh well, what's done is done. We just have to hide and hope they'll ignore us."

"That's not how it works Mis Marcella... I sincerely doubt they'll just let us live now that we know they exist-"

While the others keep arguing about how to proceed from here, or more accurately where to hide Lyda finishes treating your wounds and reapplies the old, shredded bandages that were ruined by Blueno. You test them and they are just as restrictive as they were before. Finally after testing out your movement in them you stand up.

"No."

"E-Eh?"

"We're not running or hiding. Bull guy talked about killing Icecream tonight. And he's not dying until he fixes up the Dauntless for us!"

"Oh really? And got a plan for stopping one of the biggest bogeymen of the sea genius?!"

>>
>>4634386
you mentioned that not falling for the "guard Iceburg" ploy threw a wrench in your schemes, but it would seem we're heading right back up there. Now arn't we?
>>
>>4634341
>It makes me want to throw up but we... should work with the Strawhats
>We'll warn mr.icecream, then wait for them and lay an ambush.
>>
"Simple, we go and wait for them to attack Galley La. Then we attack THEM!"

"Getting the drop on CP9? That's a tall order. Especially now that they know we're coming for them."

"Not necessarily-"
Ann steps in after she fights off her fear.
"I believe we have the means of getting the drop on them. But it will require your contribution as well as mine Mister Murray."

"Go on."

Anns plan boils down to being far enough away from Iceburgs estate and out of sight so there would be no way for anyone to find out about you, yet being close enough to be aware of the party starting. But that's easier said than done as you are the only one capable of detecting things from so far away... at first glance. Once you agree on the plan you head up to the place and get a good view of the city in the meantime. The entire population of the island has split into two distinct factions, those boarding up their homes and moving to a safe place from the Aqua Laguna and those, mostly the dockworkers, who are hell bent on tracking down and bringing the Strawhats to justice. Luckily for you they don't have their sights set on you so with a little bit of covert action you manage to set up for the night. Or rather Jaws and Ann can. The day comes and goes as the sun sets and you start getting antsy. The previous noise of the city dies down as the previous crowd disperses due to the coming tide. Only the strongest and most dedicated of the Galley La workers have not moved to the safe havens and instead remain on guard at Iceburgs home. It's getting dangerously close for when the Aqua Laguna is predicted to hit and so far there are no signs of the CP9 making a move.

You look up as a distinct noise hits your ears.
"The clocktower."
It's midnight.

An explosion goes off in the middle of the yard and the place is now abuzz with noise. The workers are on the move to stop whatever is happening. Right on que the Den Den Mushi you have starts ringing. Only two of your crewmembers are permitted to speak and they begin relaying information.
"Jaws here. I saw a woman matching Silvers description and a big, burly man wearing a bear costume."

"Spider here. Got another intruder coming in from the opposite side. And I'm detecting a rather large group coming in. Must be the Strawhats."
Ann waits to get a feel of the web she spun around the place, using it she can tell exactly where everyone is heading. Everyone is going straight for Iceburgs room which was to be expected, still the guards present do manage to lead the intruders somewhat, leaving you with plenty of time to interrupt any of them. No matter which one you choose the others will tackle the remaining ones.

>Go for Nico Robin
>Stop the other intruder

>>4634425
Technically, yes. But the devil is in the details. Now I think I can safely reveal what that was about. If you stood guard who do you think would've sat right next to you?

Well obviously if we're guarding Iceburg it would be him. Duh.
>>
>>4634429
>Stop the other intruder
>>
>>4634442
Basically because of your earlier choice and good roll instead of being ambushed now you get to get a jump on them with an advantage.

>>4634446
With only the minor drawback of severe bleeding due to being carved up by a kick. But hey, at least we know what kind of enemy we're up against; One totally out of our league!

"The one that's alone is mine. You can have the rest-"

"Understood."

As you put your snail away you hear the last snippet of Jaws erupting from the nearby canal and people freaking out about a sea monster jumping on them. Hopefully he and the others can at the very least slow them down while you and go on your little solo action. Sprouting wings you take to the skies and rush over to the mansion. Once in range you call up Ann once again who's currently hiding in the mansions attic in her spider form and talking to her own den den mushi.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vas_vlDjkMk

"Do you see them yet?"

"Yeap. Looks like another guy in a costume but they hit a wall. This'll be easy! No wait, nope, they are flying."

"I got it! They entered the third floor. They are headed for the stairs. It looks like they know the layout!"

"Where is she now?"

"Fourth floor. They should reach a glass roof soon."

"I see it!"

You cut the call and dive down, head first at max speed. After a loud descent you crash through the roof and headbutt the intruder in the back. It was to be expected that you'd crash through at least one floor but turns out you underestimated yourself and you ended up hitting rock bottom while also dragging the poor cheese pizza guy down with you. Nursing your head wound you sit up with your victim whose costume has become quite dirty thanks to your stunt. They don't appear to be too pleased and they speak up with their mask somehow distorting their voice.
"Cough cough. You? What are you doing here?"

"Crashing this party! Aaaand the house by the looks of it."

"Tch. Looks like my associate made a grave mistake. But so did you. After learning who we are you should've taken your chance and ran away."

"Nah! You see, I never loose! And if you beat me that just means I'll come back to kick your butt later!"

They don't appear to be too amused and they respond by cracking that thorny whip of theirs before attacking you with it. The thing wraps around your forearm and its barbs dig into your skin but your thick furry hide manages to prevent it from really harming you. However dealing damage was not their actual goal.
"Rankyaku!"

The dude throws a kick strong enough to send a wave of cutting air forward. But you can't be punked by the same move again. Opening your mouth you let out a piercing roar loud enough to break all mirrors and windows in the hallway and destroy that attack.
"Ghost Vail!"
You speak with a grin after finishing your screeching.
"What? Did you think I'll let you do that again?"
They take a step back and tighten their hold on the whip.

Now... let's decide how to deal with this goon

As the barbs dig further into your skin you flex your arm and watch the whip snap and explode into hot embers as your body temperature rises. Realizing that the weapon is destroyed the assassin murmurs something. Luckily for you, your ears are good enough to pick up what they are whispering into the den den mushi that's probably in their mask.
"Encountered heavy resistance. The Silver Pirates are in my way. I can no longer act as a decoy. Proceed with the plan but do it with haste."

"Come on! Quit just standing there! I'm here!"

"Very well. Soru!"
The masked person disappears and moves so fast you can barely react to them. Luckily they stop close to you when attacking, meaning you have ample time to dodge regardless.
"Rankyaku!"

The blast darts past you and cuts into the wall, making the room behind it clearly visible. You try to retaliate with a punch but they say "Kami-e" and start dodging your attacks just like Blueno did before. And when the opportunity presents itself your foe turns to attack with their finger pointed at you. With your wings you manage to stop them as only their stretched out fingers seem to possess that ridiculous puncturing power and not their fist, so all they achieve is putting holes into your webbing. It stings but at least it's not very damaging. With a flap you knock their arm away and go in to take a bite out of their shoulder.

"Tekkai!"
One of your fangs shatter as soon as they make contact with the skin, leaving you wonder what the fudge these guys are made out of. Getting mad you start to increase your body heat further, making their costume catch on fire. They are quick to throw it away, revealing the culprit underneath. Iceburgs assistant Kalifa.
"Forcing a woman to disrobe. That's sexual harassment. What's wrong pirate? Surprised?"

"No. I don't care."

"Hmph. Typical ruffian behavior. Messing with things you clearly don't understand. But if you're so eager to learn your actions have consequences then I'll gladly educate you. Geppo!"

She starts bouncing around the place, literally jumping on the air. While she's free to move through the air the limited space means you can't really put your flying skills to use so she's free to throw her attacks at you. However none of them are of the very dangerous kind, leaving you wonder what she's doing. Then you remember her conversation with the others. She's buying time. No. You won't let her freely play with you like that. Flexing the muscles on your tattered wings you swing your arm and create a strong enough gust of wind to knock her down and destroy the hallway behind her.
>>

With her bouncing ceased she's forced to land and steel herself. She doesn't let something as simple as an unfocused gust of wind break her stride.
"Impudent pirate. It's time for you to learn what a true Rokushiki master is capable of. Rankyaku!"

She winds her legs up quite a bit and prepares to throw a kick much more intense than the ones before. But this time you don't care about dodging what's about to come, instead you flap your wings to push yourself forward and ball one of them into a fist to meet her leg just as she kicks off her attack.
"Silver Style: BAT PUNCH!"

With your red hot wing you punch her leg and unleash as much of the Hasshokens power as you can. The two energies collide and her air blade starts to fragment and blow up much of the surrounding area. Your digits are being just as damaged but it's an acceptable cost, one that won't hinder your down the line. But her sacrifice will be much greater. Finally the clash ends and her leg looses, your fist connects with it and you can hear cracking noises. For some reason her body wasn't quite as durable as before. She twirls around several times as she's sent flying until she hits the back of her head into a wall. Much like before she tries to stand up but finds it strangely difficult to place weight on her injured leg, it's most likely broken. Seeing this weakness you rush forward, intending to pounce on her and finish the job.

"Rankyaku."
The wall behind her breaks down and another attack is fired at you. Only barely do you manage to dodge it in time. Unfortunately you don't notice that this was only a distraction and a person was running behind it the whole time. He jumps up and uses bent metal bars to bind you to the floor. He pushes these bindings through the holes Kalifa put into your webs, around your neck and limbs and into the ground with his bare hand. Looking up you see a familiar figure.

"Y-You're the Strawhat guy! I KNEW YOU WERE IN CAHOOTS WITH THE CHEESE PIZZA!"

"Wrong. I'm Kaku..."

"Oh. KAKU! I thought you were cool!"

"Kalifa. Can you stand?"
She says yes and proceeds to lean heavily on her healthy leg. She doesn't seem to struggle balancing herself on only one leg but it does seem to bother her.
"This operation really is a crapshoot."
You look behind him and see in the room Iceburg who's currently bleeding as well as the pidgeon guy but there are no signs of Nico Robin or Blueno, nor of the Strawhats. For now the CP9 agents decide to ignore you because they must focus on Iceburg and because you'll make a nice scapegoat, whatever that is. Looks like they are showing him a stack of papers and want to ask questions about it. Somehow you doubt Iceburg will talk, and doubt that they'll let that slide.

exactly, it was established with Hina (remarkably similar circumstances actually) that he reacts badly to this exact scenario... Which makes sense, the whole slavery thing does leave quite the mark. I'm simply advocating for taking the not clever option to remain consistent

>>4634703
That is a very good point. He wasn't very happy about the Hina thing, hard to blame him either.
>>4634679
If you don't mind I'm going to switch my vote to this.

He can keep his cool when chained, he did so in Windy-windy island when the natives caught him. And this time he isn't even actually captured.
>>
>>4634679
>>Just stop pretending they captured you and melt the cuffs
>>
>>4634717
the other times he got chained he reacted more or less normal, so I don't this affects silver too much.
>>
>>4634725
Windy-windy also had seastone cuffs, I would argue that the lethargy introduced did more to keep him calm then anything. And we weren't in the middle of a fight, and we had a 'hostage' to worry about.

There are comparisons to be drawn, certainly. But I'd like more to Hina then Windy-windy here

"Well? What are you planning? Torture me?"

"No. Torture is unreliable. The victim would always confess whatever you ask of them. We need the truth. Kaku."
Mr Square nose walks over to Iceburg and touches his neck to watch for his pulse.
"Now Iceburg. We got your decoy blueprints. It was rather easy to tell they are fake. But now we need you to tell us where the real ones are. First off, these were signed by three shipwrights: Iceburg, Cutty Flam and-"

"Why are you bothering with him? Ask Tom. He's the one who made it."

Suddenly everyone looks at you.
"How do you know that name? Iceburg! What did you tell to this pirate and why?"

"W-Well I didn't-"
Iceburg couldn't help but stare at you, wondering how it's possible for you to know that. But then he remembers a tale that his late master Tom told him about a certain pirate who had the ability to learn almost anything because he could hear The Voice of All Things. But if this child also has that ability and if he speaks, all the precautions, all those years of secrecy were all for naught.

The pidgeon guy walks over to you and puts his hand around your throat.
"Answer me. And if you try one of your sonic attacks I'm cutting out your jugular. What do you know about the blueprint? Was it Iceburg who told you?"

"Well-"
You whisper and the pidgeon guy leans in to hear you better.
"It was your mom!"

He looses his patience instantly and you feel his fingers pressing against your throat, just what you wanted. With a grin you turn up the heat and start melting anything touching you, the metal bars, the stone floor and naturally his hands. As you rip yourself free from your bindings you watch him take a few steps back while wagging his hand to cool it down.
"Oooooh Pidgeon guy is so silly. He'll try asking Icecream when he should ask Tom instead. What a silly goose! She said that. True story. Oh, and she had another message! She wants to tell you not to try chaining me down! Because I don't like it!"

With his hands still smoldering the assassin transforms into a large, bipedal cat. So he's a zoan user as well. Interesting.
"That's it. You die now. Gosshigan!"

He thrusts forward all five of his fingers and attempts to gut you with them. But you don't like the sound of that so you shrink down into your human form and thrust your own palm at his, your fingers sliding between his deadly fingerguns. The thunderous clap creates an explosion in the room and makes a mess of things. Your left arm is now slightly numb but at least he didn't impale you with any of those five attacks. Sometimes it's useful to be smaller, if only you could utilize your full power at that size. But for now this will suffice.
"Ooooh you're a cat! That's good! I couldn't remember your name! I think I'll call you Pu-"

"RANKYAKU!"

"WHOA!"

Quickly you pull yourself up by his arm to dodge the shearing wind and with your free right hand you reach for your rifle. Pulling it free you get a clear shot right at the bastard, the barrel of your jezail pressing against his nose. He uses that bizarre "Kami-e" technique and he manages to move his head out of the way of the bullet even from that distance. Luckily, that also works in your favor. The sound of the gun firing is more akin to a cannon rather than any handheld weapon so it does damage his ears, furthermore the immense kickback of the gun travels from one hand, up the other and into him, not to mention the bullet itself. The entire wall behind the CP9 agents is blown out, exposing the room to the fresh air. How fortunate that Iceburgs room had a window facing the courtyard. In the massive confusion you just caused you manage to slip out of Luccis hand and with a little sprint manage to snatch up Iceburg before transforming into a bat and flying away. Naturally they start shooting those Rankyaku attacks after you but it's futile as they make quite a bit of noise making them easy to dodge for a bat. And while they can all walk on air it's no real match for your actual flight.

Smiling triumphantly you take a deep breath and start shouting for your crew.
"HEY! EVERYONE! LET'S BOUNCE!"

"After them!"

"L-Lucci! Look! We were too late! The Aqua Laguna is coming!"

"The operation was a failure. We must leave and hope HQ will be satisfied with just Nico Robin."
Kalifa and Kaku try to talk down their leader who is furious.
>>
And I think that's enough insanity for now. Especially since I got work tomorrow.
Anyway I hope this was satisfactory for you. Sadly I vastly underestimated the amount of time I'd need to wrap this up. So we're sticking with Water 7 for a little while longer
Have a good night

>silver actions is going to change the canon
Most likely I think
I wonder though, whos voice did we hear who told us to ask Tom?

>>4634858
I think we should take the train to another island after we finish with all this
>>
>>4634890
Not a bad idea, though I am curious about San Faldo. We're pretty close to Sabaody, so I wonder if it'd be much of a detour to go there rather than just pushing through Thriller Bark.
>>
>>4634899
Going to San Faldo, then an original island (or however many Spooks decides), and the Sabaody would sound like a nice plan to be honest. I'm not really keen on going to Thriller Bark
>>
>>4634906
As am I, Thriller Bark was just a bore for me, despite introducing Brooke.
I suppose the only thing I'm worried about is being a bit late to all the Sabaody events.
>>
>>4634915
spook is probably is going to warn us if there is chance, i don't think he is going to make us miss one the best part of one piece for non reason.
>>
I mean thriller bark was a ship that caught the stawhats, not a destination on the log. Given the possible speed of our ship in comparison to the sunny, and when we leave, there's a good chance we'd naturally miss that and find different adventures instead.
>>
Okay frens that ending felt a little flat to me
So I made something. This is not me running, just properly concluding yesterdays session
>>
As you fly away from the mansion and dodge CP9's attacks you look over your shoulder at the bleeding man and ask him about his condition.
"Hey old guy! You okay?"

"Well, not really. They shot me in the shoulder. I think the bullet is still in there."

"Sorry for the rough ride. Hard to fly steady when my wings look like cheese."

"Don't worry about me. Just keep flying!"
Iceburg looks back at the house.
"It appears they aren't following us."

"No. They wanted to use the Aqua Laguna to get away without being noticed and put the blame on Us or the Strawhats. They'll miss their chance if they come after us."

"So... they don't want to leave any witnesses. Guess that's how CP9 operates. I'm grateful that they didn't get anything out of me. However Nico Robin working with them still worries me. If they have her then-"

"Why? What's so special about her?"

"I'll tell you later. But for now we should focus on going somewhere safe."

"Agreed."
You take a dive to a lower altitude until you're flying just above the others.
"How's everyone doing? Are you all here?"

Jaws points at his hair which both Will and Ann in her spider form latched onto.
"Yeah! Now let's get the HELL out of here!"

"Good. How did it go?"

"Honestly? Badly. That womans devil fruit was a nuisance. Luckily Marcella and Hagetakas devil fruits were a good match for hers. But that meant only Omukade and I could fight the bear. You weren't lying, his skin was tough as iron. But he was also a slippery bastard. Gu could barely put a dent in him and I couldn't touch him at all!"

"Yeah but could you have won?"

"Honestly? Maybe. But we'd need to corner these rats and give it all they got. Even then it might take all we have."

"Speak for yourself!"
Gu retorts.
"Once I can get a breather I'll cook up something that they'll choke on!"

"CAN WE PLEASE FOCUS?!"
Hook snaps at them.
"How about you Silver? Had any luck?"

"Got Icecream here. And I broke the leg of his secretary, oh yeah Kaku and the Pigeon guy are also baddies. But yeah they are tough. The guy with the pigeon turns into a big cat, he's pretty strong. If only I wasn't so sleepy..."

"Oh yeah, you haven't slept in almost 48 hours."

As you keep running downhill and jumping over the various canals to get as far away from CP9 as possible you get deep into the heart of the city, so much so that Iceburg starts being nervous.
"Well, shouldn't we go to a safe zone now? The Aqua Laguna could arrive any-"

"Don't worry! I'm sure we'll be fi-"
As you try to calm him down you make the mistake of looking forward and see the massive waves towering above the island, threatening to wash everything away.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!"

"Calm down!"
Jaws starts twirling his anchor around and throws it up at a house to use it as a grappling hook.
"EVERYONE! UP!"

Using whatever means at your disposal, being flying, jumping, climbing or having Murray throw you up, you reach the roof of the building. Marcella shouts in her frustration.
"GOOD IDEA MURRAY! NOW WE GET A GOOD VIEW OF OUR OWN DEATH!"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xswwDntUeo

But Jaws doesn't answer and just walks in front of everyone. His long hair billows in the strong wind as he gazes at the incoming tide. Closing his eyes he takes a deep breath and starts thinking to himself. There is a saying amongst the citizens of Fishman Island, "When the fishmen get serious they can make even the sea obey their command". It may be nothing more than a prideful boast or some remnant of an old folktale but like with many things there is a kernel of truth behind it. It's not applicable to just ANY fishman. Only when the children of the sea set aside their differences and unite for a common goal can they achieve such monumental feats. Or... if they happen to be the most extraordinary specimens of their race. He got to witness one such example, one man whose status rose into that of living legend. Compared to looking at him, this little water is barely worth mentioning.

"If I can't do at least this much how could I ever surpass you? Jibe!"
Putting down his anchor Jaws assumes a wide stance with his left palm put straight out and his right hand pulled back into a fist. He waits and watches the approaching wave without flinching, making your other crewmembers hug each other as they resign their fate. At the last moment Jaws begins groaning as he focuses.
"Hnnnnnnnnnnnnnng! FISH-MAN KARATE SECRET TECHNIQUE: SOSEI-KI!"

He throws a punch with all his bulging muscles and you see the water in front of your eyes ripple like jelly and part one half going left, the other to your right and not as much as a single drop lands on any of your heads. Everyone stands there going "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" as Jaws keeps pushing the water away and protecting you. After a few minutes the tide seems to die down and retreat the same way it arrived, leaving everything around you soaking wet and salty. The ladies in your company pile onto him and hug Murray from all sides, thanking him for saving their lives since literally all of them are devil fruit users. Gu just stands there in disbelief while you go and smack him on the shoulder.

"That. Was. AWESOME!"

"Hmph..."

"What's wrong?"

"All that training for just this? I wanted to push it back in the ocean..."

Most of them just sit around Wano, right? So it's not like it's a horrible idea to give them fruits. Even if only 1/10 will actually get abilities. And the others will just laugh and smile. And even if you get abilities it could be really shitty.... I'm starting to think Kaido didn't think this through to much.

That.... wasn't my intention.
Though it'd make a cool scene when one day Silver retires (dies) Will would take it up
But since he's so small I was thinking about making him a ranged fighter so he can contribute at least a little in the future

As the sea retreats into its rightful place the parties present can scarcely believe that they are not only alive but completely dry as well. Once the shock wears off Mister Iceburg points you in the general direction of a mostly abandoned warehouse and you hide in it. With everyone catching their breath and not believing their luck you keep giggling to yourself. But as things die down Iceburg, after his injuries were treated by Lyda attempts to stand up.
"Well, thank you for saving me. I owe you my life. I'll make sure to repay you tomorrow but now with CP9 out of the picture I must go to the Strawhats-"

Before he could even take a step however a metal bat cracks the concrete before him and Marcella gives him an angry look.
"Now hold on just a moment MISTER! Don't think you can just leave after causing us this much headache! Now either you tell us everything, for starters why the scariest organization is after your head or I'll repaint this room with what's in your head!"

"M-Marcella-"

"Quiet Lyda! This guy's been nothing but a pain! And now I demand answers because my patience is wearing thing!"

"Well, I suppose you do deserve an explanation. But understand that I kept you in the dark for your own sake-"
Iceburg takes a deep breath as he shares his knowledge without any hesitation.
"The thing that CP9 was after is none other than the Ancient Weapon: Pluton."
It feels like a large DON just silenced the whole building as most everyones jaw drops. They all start bombarding Iceburg with question who just takes them all and gives a quick rundown of things.
"Water 7's original purpose was not to build a floating city. The reason it was made so that it'd serve as the construction site of the original ancient weapon. Pluton, the ship that can destroy the world. The sheer size of the place, as well as all the machinery was needed for the monumental task. But even though the first Pluton has been sealed and hidden away its blueprints were kept safe by the original creators and passed down through the generations. For if anyone ever awakened that terrible ship a second one could be built to stop it. It was my master Tom who held them before, now it's in our hands."

You look at Iceburg.
"What happened to Tom? And who's Cutty Flam?"

"Tom was framed by the government and taken to Ennies Lobby so they could torture him for the blueprint. They did not know that he didn't know them by heart. And Cutty Flam was Toms other apprentice beside me. You could say that he, he was Toms true apprentice. I handed the blueprints to him and kept a fake one in my office. Sadly I never would've imagined that my own shipwrights would be government agents so I didn't anticipate them realizing the blueprints are fake. But thanks to you now they don't know the real one's with him. Well, I do think they suspect it's with him but now they have no proof."

"Cool! Where is he now?"

"Here. In Water 7. He goes by the name Franky nowadays."
>>

"Wait Franky!"
Marcella snaps.
"You mean the guy whose perverted goons kept jumping us?"

"The very same. Officially Cutty Flam was presumed dead in a freak accident. But he survived and changed his identity. Part of the reason why I thought the blueprints would be better with him."
Now Iceburgs expression gets dark.
"Well, unfortunately I don't think it matters now. Even though they didn't get their hands on the blueprint they got something far worse. The Devil Child, Nico Robin."

"The Ohara Devil?"
Marcella and Gu start looking at him nervously.

"Yes miss. With her captured the World Government now has the key to all of the ancient weapons not just Pluton. She possesses the ability to awaken them, so all we achieved is delay the inevitable. That's why I need to go to the Strawhats. I falsely accused them and made them doubt. I NEED to set the record straight. So please, now you know what's going on. I'll get your ship ready by tomorrow but I beg of you, please let me go now!"

Marcella looks at you expecting an order.
"Let him go Hook. If she's with Goofy then he deserves to know what happened to her."

"Thank you!"
Iceburg stands up with Lydas assistance but doesn't actually start walking. Instead he glares at you with a strange kind of fear that you've never seen before lingering in his eyes.
"Well, I do have one thing left that I'd like to ask. You don't need to answer if you don't want to but, how did you know Toms name?"

"I heard it."
You answer quickly and to the point.

"Heard it from where?"
The history between Iceburg, Franky and Tom is quite ancient by this point so he doubts you actually heard it.

"I heard it. From the papers. You guys signed it with Tom and that Flam guy, right? You felt proud when Tom finally decided to pass it to you."

"You heard it from our signatures huh?"
Iceburgs legs almost give out but thanks to Lydas support he manages to stand. He remembers a story his old teacher used to tell him, about his time on board the Oro Jackson. Toms stories were wild and Iceburg believed them all to be bedtime stories to entertain Franky with. But this one is uncannily similar to one he heard. He never believed in it before but now he's feeling scared.

"Silver always talks about hearing voices. He's just weird like that."

"No. That's definitely, definitely it. Your captain is not crazy. He must be able to hear the Voice of All Things."

"The what now?"

"I don't blame you for not knowing miss. There are many wild tales at sea, some of which is true like the power of the kings. But this one is so obscure few people are even aware that it exists. The story goes that everyone and everything, animals, people or objects have a "mind" for the lack of a better term, and they can all talk. But there are very few people who can hear and understand what they are saying."

"Oh come on! You don't actually believe that nonsense, do you?"
Marcella puts her hands on her hips and laughs.

"I don't. But here is your captain who speaks of something eerily similar and demonstrated it. And if I think back of the tales about the man who supposedly had it I can't help but feel terrified. Young man, if you can truly hear the Voice then you're in just as much danger as the Strawhats and Nico Robin. The government doesn't like people with the ability to discover the true nature of things! And you don't want to end up like the last person who was said to have that ability."

"Who was that?"
You ask.

"Gold Roger..."

Your crewmembers freeze again, leaving you to stare Iceburg down alone because you don't really care.
"Okay but why? What's wrong with Nico Robin?"

"That's all you took from that? Nico Robin being in danger? Well, she and the Oharans were condemned by the World Government for wanting to awaken the Ancient Weapons and bring about the end of the world. But now, now I'm not so sure. It's undeniable however that she can do that because she's capable of reading the Poneglyphs."

"Ponewhat?"

"Ancient stone tablets holding forbidden information. Researching them is an automatic death sentence and if Nico Robin is to be believed will result in what she referred to as a "Buster Call". 5 Navy Battleships and 10 vice admirals with an order to destroy everything that gets in their path."

"Hmmmmm. Poneglyph. And you think there was one at Ohara?"

"Stitches, Will, do you have crayons? And some paper?"
Will does indeed have some crayons as you entrusted him with your supplies and Lyda has some paper on her. You take the supplies from them and start scribbling something down. You run out of a multitude of colors along the way so it ends up being rainbow colored but it should do the job. You raise the finished paper to Iceberg and shoot a question at him.
"They look something like this?"

"A-A-Ah! W-What?! How did you-"

"We were at Ohara and saw the stone at the bottom of the sea. This is what was written on it. This is a poneglyph?"

Struggling to speak or even react to this Iceburg simply breaks free from Lydas hold and starts walking to the front door with his eyes focused on the floor.
"I'm going to tell the truth to the Strawhats. I saw nothing..."

As he leaves the others are left in quite a terrified state as they have to process all of this. First, you are apparently not crazy and second, should any of what was said here be found out you'd shoot straight to the top of the worlds most wanted lists. The first one to digest all the information is Jaws whose curiosity overwhelms him.
"Can you really read that Silver? What does it say?"

"I don't know. It's not like I can read it. I just know what the guy making it wanted to convey. I wanted to write "I'm a friend" but who really knows what it is."

"Oh by the-"
Jaws sits down next to you and as his heavy body lands you bounce up a little from the impact.
"I should've known that rock at Ohara was bad news. But at the very least now it's all clear. What happened at Ohara was the same as here. Government likely went haywire and blamed the whole incident on someone innocent. And she was just a child when she was branded a monster. Poor girl."

"Yeah, poor girl, whatever!"
Marcella steps in.
"It's all tragic but there is a lesson to be learnt from that! We lay low, keep out of trouble until our ship is finished and we're OUTTA HERE! And none of us speak another word of this or we're all TOAST!"

"Hmmmmmm."
Now would be a good time to decide how to proceed from here. The immediate danger has passed but there's still the issue of those CP9 guys being out there. You could leave and try to forget about all this but after your stunt with ruining their plans and saving Iceburg they might pay you a visit later down the line. Or you could make sure to eradicate them once and for all but that'd mean, shudder, working together with Goofy.

You look at Hook trying to suppress your smile and end up sweating nervously.
"Erm."

"Oh fuck-"

"I don't wanna make you upset but I wanna go after them."

"WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY? Literally why? We have no reason to go after them! Just live and let die! The Strawhats are going after them no? It's their problem now!"

"First, I don't like the idea that they punked us! I want a rematch and KICK their asses! Second, I don't wanna wait for them to come after us when all this is done. Third, I made a promise to a special someone and I intend to keep it! Third, they have Ice guys money! If we get it we'll be RICH again!"

"Okay you just said Third twice. But other than that I'm starting to like your way of thinking. Meaning the money. But it WILL be shared riiiight Silver? It's not YOUR money anymore since you spent it all like a dummy! So we all get a cut right?"

"Hmmmmm fine! And finally, I STILL DON'T HAVE HER SIGNATURE ON THIS POSTER!"

There's also the matter of you wanting to take your crew there since you know from experience that the CP9 is strong. It'd be the perfect opportunity for your boys and girls to tackle something hard and get stronger from it but you leave that reason for yourself. Some of them took more convincing than the others, as Toxin himself was very much looking forward to going to Enies Lobby for some reason, but in the end you manage to rein in your crewmembers and get them behind your back. So it has been decided, you'll attack the World Government directly and pursue them to Enies Lobby. Once there those government rats won't have anywhere to run and they'll have to face you head on. But there's still one matter that needs to be addressed. How to approach it. According to Murray the sea is still raging even though the worst of it has passed. There are no ships that would take you in during this time, hell few could even survive such treacherous waves. The sea train might be your only chance but Angel shuts that down as well.

"Impossible. I've seen how most of those trains look. They wouldn't be able to make the journey without taking in water. Likely the Puffing Tom is the only one that can handle this weather."

"Then we have no other choice... Ugh. We have to work with the Stupidhat Pirates."

It's not exactly easy finding a small group of people in such a large city. Luckily for you these particular assholes are quite good at making themselves known through excessive shouting (not that they can outdo you but they are good competition). You find them in what appears to be an abandoned dock that just so happens to be surrounded by freaks wearing fishnet stockings. Gross but at least now you know this is the place that the Franky Family uses to dismantle ships. After beating the crap out of the goons standing in your way you kick down the doors and enter. The guy you punted through the entrance crawls up to a guy with blue hair and wearing a speedo. On closer inspection you realize he's the guy who's been doing that funky dance in front of the Galley La company.

"A-ANIKI! HELP! T-These guys they-"

The pervert leader who's been busy talking with the Strawhats until now looks at you and gives you a glare intense enough that you feel it even through his sunglasses.
"HUUUUUH? Who the hell are you people?"

You don't answer him as there's little need to. Luff knows who you are and he shoves Franky aside to come meet you face to face. Once he's in your personal space you have a staredown with him.
"Sissy."

"Goofy."

"What do you want?"

You glance at the Merry still hanging on behind Strawhat and look back at him.
"You going after Cheese Pizza No. 9?"

"Yes. Are you?"

"Yes."

"Why?"

"They dun goofed."

"Understandable."

Through sheer intent and body language you manage to convey your message to Strawhat. He understands that you're burdened by both a promise that binds and compelled by a desire to both steal shit and get that sweet, sweet autograph. Though he may not completely get that last part but he knows you want to meet Nico Robin for some reason so he accepts.
"EVERYONE! They are with us now!"

"W-What?"
The orange hair girl looks at this in disbelief while Marcella does something similar.

"You get this? Do you think that maybe idiots speak some sort of a secret language?"

You look back at her and nod.
"Something like that. Anyway, until we kick those stupid suits where it really hurts we'll be friends. So no fighting."

As this unfolds the Franky guy joins your little circle.
"That's real nice and all but we still have a little issue you know! We have no way of actually GETTING to them!"

Suddenly the door you just came through opens up and in comes a figure you didn't really expect to see and apparently neither did the Strawhats.
"ICEBURG?"

"Well, I believe I may have the solution to that problem-"
The man accompanied by an obese and clearly very drunk lady takes you to the station where something exceptional is waiting for you, according to him. He presents to you a train that he apparently fixed up in under and hour and made it sea worthy. The prototype train Rocket Man.
"Well, this train should be more than capable of taking you straight to Enies Lobby even in this weather. And Kokoro here can be the train operator. Kokoro?"

"Nagagagaga! Don't worry little ones! You're in good hands! I'll take you there safely."

The Strawhats, the Galley La workers, the Franky Family and finally your own crew all make their way inside and make yourselves comfortable as the train departs the station. All parties present agree to a truce and a temporary alliance against a common enemy. But tensions are still quite high, especially between you and Goofys crew since alliances between pirates tend to be volatile at the best of times.

"Hey Luffy, do you really think we can trust them?"

"Zoro?"

"Just look at them. They are putting their lives on the line like us. We have nothing to worry about until we beat up those Government agents."

Meanwhile your crewmembers are sizing them up.
"Look at 'em. They are talking about us."

About an hour later several of the Franky Family guys are slapping you silly in a vain attempt to wake you up but they are getting nowhere.
"What is WITH this guy?"

"Just give up. You guys are just caressing him with your babyhands."
Marcella mocks them before turning to the strawhat cook.
"Hey blondie. Hit me with a smoke."

"You smoke?"

"Not normally. But if we're gonna die might as well-"

"I normally don't share but this time I guess I can make an exception. Here."

"Thanks."

"He's going to be alright? Your captain? We can already see Enies Lobby in the distance."

"Hmmm. He always wakes up when shit hits the fan. I think it's his ears."
Taking a big hit from the cigarette Marcella turns to Gu who's been agonizing in a corner for a while now.
"Are you done? Told you to not mess with that crap. Just go to the toilet and take a crap! The show's about to start!"

"N-No. I must keep it inside. I had to slow down and delay the effects otherwise I would've died. But I'll be fine in a fight-"

Finally the Franky guys had enough of trying to wake you up without achieving anything and they resort to chemical warfare. They ask their Aniki for forgiveness as they pilfer his secret stash for a little "stimulant" and they feed it to you through a funnel. Feeling that something terrible is about to come Marauder rolls away and starts shaking in a corner. Your body begins to twitch and convulse as you bite the metal funnel in half and start chewing it like gum. The Franky guys get scared and try to run but it's too late.
"SUUUUUUUUUUUPEEEEEEEEER!"
You grab them by the necks and start tossing them around the place.

Marcella notices this and joins you in beating them with her bat.
"YOU GAVE HIM CAFFEINE AND SUGAR?! ARE YOU MAD?!"

"Kekeke! Don't worry Hook! I've never been better! NOW! LET'S GO AND KICK SOME-
Hey who are you? YOU AN ENEMY?!"

"Huh? Me? NONONONO! I'm your ally! I'm the great hero Sogeking! I've come to aid you in your dangerous quest!"

"Ah. That checks out. Thanks hero. ANYWAY! Where are we?"

"We're just about to reach Enies Lobby. If you look out the window you can see it. So Silver, what's the plan?"
Naturally you'll fly out in a second so you can have all the fun for yourself even if only for a little while. But what about the others?

>Go NUTS!
>Help the Strawhats
>Attack them and don't stop! I want this place turned into rubble! And I want the money too of course!
>Other?
>>
>>4640832
What kind of a question is that? Sogeking is a great hero who came to help the Strawhats in their time of need. Of course he left Sniper Island
>>
>>4640842
More a pragmatic one. The costumes and stuff were on the sea train if I recall.
>>
>>4640840
>Attack them and don't stop! I want this place turned into rubble! And I want the money too of course!

I mean money is key here, the Strawhats will probably be OK without our intervention, and it's their moment. But all the treasures must be ours.
>>
>>4640840
>Go NUTS!
We're here primarily just to get the money, so let's be support this time for the strawhats, so they can get a better shot at getting Robin back
>>
>>4640844
They still had their fallout over Merry and not only would Luffy not let him come, he wouldn't be able to show his face to him but Usopp would still want to save Robin. So he stole an outfit from a San Faldo tourist this time

Hate to pile on more work for ya like this spooky, but there's just so much we can explore here. Nami/Zoro with Jaws/Marcella, Chopper's reaction to our broken body and his cute shinanigans with Lyda, some more action with that one semi-shandian girl whose name I cant even remember, and Gu and Sanji being at serious odds.

There's just so much potential. I for one look forward to Chopper the most though, him wondering just how we're not in an injury induced coma, and Lyda explaining the insanity of us "punching our wounds".

On a side note, who y'all think Sogeking would interact with since Ussopp left? Are we bringing William? Or is he back with Ann on the ship?

>>4640840
>Attack them and don't stop! I want this place turned into rubble! And I want the money too of course!

Mostly the money and confiscated goods.

Just watch, people are going to think that we and the Strawhats have formed an alliance, and neither crew will hear the end of "how one isn't there to save the other now"
>>
>>4640868
No worries. I was just thinking the same while in the shower and already have a few ideas. Lyda/Chopper being one of them. And yes Will is here and he is interacting with Sogeking

I know, there's a lot of potential awesome to be explored, I'm quite looking forwards to Nami/Marcella, because I think everyone would assume our Hook is just as non-"monstrous" as Nami is when in reality she's a veritable slasher villain.

And yes, definitely more screentime for Hagetaka (Angel)... If nothing else we can all be guaranteed that Sanji'l be stalking her, but there's plenty of opportunity considering the sky island or just her view on mermen compared to the Strawhat's experience so far

With a grin you stomp on the ground.
"LISTEN UP! These guys think they rule the sea! Time they learn that they can't just mess with everyone! I want you to dismantle this place! Leave NOTHING intact! Except for the treasure of course! We'll be taking that! And if anyone gives you, or anyone else trouble, well you know what to do!"
With that you run up to the front of the train where the fat lady is.
"Is that Enies Lobby?"

"Yeap. The judicial island of the government. They say darkness never falls on it and that it's always sunny there. Funny isn't it? A place shrouded in darkness yet it doesn't even know nighttime."

"Don't care. It will be a sunny ruin then. What's that behind it?"

"That's the Gates of Justice. They connect Enies Lobby with Marineford and Impel Down. To put it simply once Nico Robin gets past those the chances of saving her will be 0. Do you get it?"

"Uhm. Then I guess I'd better hurry."
Transforming into a bat you climb on top of the train and take off to get a head start. Or at least you would if a pair of hands didn't suddenly grab your legs mid flight. Looking down you see Luffy holding onto you and laughing.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-IwKNWtqbE

"OY! LET GO YOU BASTARD!"
You try to kick him off but as you wind up his long, stretchy arm springs back and he shoots out like a rocket towards the island.
"HEY NO FAIR USING ME AS A PLATFORM! GET BACK HERE!"

You follow him and you both fly over the massive fences and you both manage to land at roughly the same time. While Luffy dusts himself off he has the fucking AUDACITY to laugh at you.
"Shishishishi! That was easy!"

Staying silent you throw a punch to the side, making his head stretch in the opposite direction before coming back in place.
"IT WAS EASY BECAUSE OF ME! Hmmmm?"
But as you argue you see quite an impressive looking army lined up in front of you. Looks like they were not really expecting your arrival. Just what happened while you were sleeping?
"Well well well. It looks like we both have our fair share of butts. Let's see who- OY!"

"See ya!"
Luffys arms stretch out and he grabs onto the massive gate in front of you and jumps over it, bypassing the guards in front of you. The bitch.

"Kek. Fine! I'll just do it myself! Buuut. I could also try out that new move and see if it works!"
>>
And that's the end for today. Welcome to Enies Lobby!
I likely won't run in this thread anymore and kinda don't plan on really running next week but if I change my mind I'll notify you.
Instead I'll just write the events that transpired on Rocket Man while Silver was sleeping. It'll include both fight scenes as well as just some friendly socializing between parties
And I'll try to work on the pastes as well if my time allows it.

I got nothing really planned for Zoro since he's not the most social type
And got one more thing between Sogeking and Will, plus Sanji and Gu having a cookoff
These are the non-combat oriented ones
Any other requests?
>>
>>4642775
our jewess and their jewess talk money
zoro tests silver's reflexes while he's sleeping
chopper freaks out about silver's wounds
luffy sees silver's tattoo and tries to give himself one
sogeking freaks out while listening to silver's crew talk about their adventures
>>
>>4642775
Nami and Marcella complaining that both of their captains are idiots, this slowly devolving into "My captain is the bigger idiot"

Sharing of adventure stories with the strawhats realizing that we are the same breed of idiot as Goofy complete with the whole if 'he says you are on the crew, then you are on the crew'

that's all i can think of, however as a side note.
Silver - Goofy
Jaws - Zoro
Marcella - Nami
Will - Ussop
Gu - Sanji
Lyda - Chopper
Hagetaka - Robin
(Unknown) - Franky
Ann - Brook

Looking at that comparison we need to pick up another crew member after Enies Lobby. We can't let the lame hat pirates get ahead of us crew members wise.
>>
>>4642802
>>4642846
Seconding Nami and Marcella, but I also can't help but imagine Nami assuming our Hooks is just as scared and outmatched as she is compared to the crews "monsters" only to slowly realize she's one the scarier people (in every sense of the word) on our crew.
>>
>>4642775
Hm, you're right about Zoro tho... he isn't the most social person and only really bothers with people he can test himself against, and we don't have a swordsman... But we do have Hagetaka who is quite nifty with her spear, that could be an in if you're looking for a way to get either of those two some screen time.
Could be quite cool.

Icebreaker

There was a certain tension on the Rocket Man after Silver went to sleep. Like when two different packs of ferocious animals are forced to stay in the same place and one of the alphas responsible for keeping things in check leaves for some reason. Those crewmembers who are not burdened by naïveté kept sizing up members of the opposing group, looking for potential trouble makers or assessing their strength for when the inevitable comes. All done covertly of course through shifty eyes and brief glances. But to the untrained eye it'd appear as if they are all just minding their own business. It wasn't until one of the more reasonable members of the Straw Hats decided that she does indeed want to start a conversation.

Nami walked up to the solitary fishman meditating with his back against a wall.
"It's a bit tense in here isn't it?"
It was a pretty shitty way to start a conversation but it's not like she had anything better.

Murray opened his eyes and looked up at her.
"Naturally. Don't take it the wrong way lass, this is just the nature of things. We may have a common enemy but at the end of the day we are enemies. Make no mistake, once this is over we'll part ways and act like this never happened. At best. That's how pirates are."

"I see..."
Nami scratched her head in defeat. She assumed as much but hearing it said straight up really hits different.
"But erm, could I trouble you for a second?"

"Seeing as how we're talking already, I don't see why not."

"Aren't you meditating?"

"Napping more like."

"Well then I have a question for you. Are you a fishman?"

"Gyogyogyo! No. I'm an overgrown eel that ate the Human Human fruit, why do you ask?"

"Okay I know you're messing with me because that's our reindeer doctor who at that one! If you don't want to tell me just say so."

"I thought he's a tanuki... But no. I just like giving dumb answers to dumb questions. Yes, I'm a fishman. Born and raised on Fishman Island. Why do you ask?"

"I was just wondering if you know something about a fishman named Arlong."
>>
File: Arlong.jpg (38 KB, 424x473)

Murrays eyes fully opened at that and he looked directly at Nami.
"Ah. That. I do remember reading about you guys beating him. Wish I could've seen the look on his face."
Jaws then looked at Nami reaching for her tattoo, she probably doesn't even realize she's doing it. And even though it has been changed Murray can just about see the silhouette of Arlongs mark if he squints hard enough.
"Sigh. Yes, I do know Arlong but not the way you think. I was just a guppy when I saw him, he frequented the places I hanged out at and told the children stories about his "adventures". I'm not going to pretend I know what happened, nor am I going to apologize because I had nothing to do with whatever he did. But you do have my sympathy."

"But you're not like Arlong. Are you? I mean, you follow a humans orders."

"You mean to ask me if all fishmen are alike. Right? You have every right to hate Arlong and to distrust fishmen. But-"
Murray reached for his shoulder.
"You're not the only one who bears a mark."

Nami stands there, thinking about the fishmans words. She thought them strange. She expected him to either be just another Arlong or for him to completely reject the actions of the vicious pirate and distance himself from him. But being told she's free to hate them sounded so strange coming from his mouth. Without asking for permission she sat down next to him in contemplation.
"If... if one of yours was taken instead of Robin, would you do the same as us?"

"You mean if I would risk my head for a human? No. But I would fight to the death for a friend."

"Murray, right? That's the name on your wanted poster."
The fishman nodded.
"Then Murray, I don't think I hate you."

"Hmmmm. Likewise lass."

"Nami."

"Nami."

Caduceus

After everyone got to witness Straw Hats navigator and Silvers first mate having a casual chat with each other the chilly atmosphere thawed out between the two crews and they got to mingling in order to satiate their curiosity regarding the other group. In particular the two doctors did not waste any time to unite their efforts in order to treat all the people on board that were wounded by CP9. Though at first they simply shared the workload, each one taking care of one half, eventually they found their paths crossing as they were administering first aid to both the Galley La workers and the Franky Family. Though it was definitely a rushed job at the very least now everyone is in somewhat of a fighting condition.

"Phew. Finally. Looks like that's everyone. Thanks for the help!"

"Y-You're welcome Mister Reindeer."

"I'M A TANUKI! Wait-"

With Lyda and Chopper formally introducing themselves they move onto their final patient, that being Captain Silver who's currently resting. Chopper is the first one to take a look at him partly because he's simply curious about the physical condition of the fearsome pirate. When he opened his suit however the medic found something that shocked him.

"Eeeeh? Isn't that a bit excessive?"
He taps the bandages with his hooved hands and finds them so tightly packed that the gauze feels more like sheet steel.

"N-No. S-Silver tends to play rough. If I don't restrain him he tends to hurt himself."

"Really?"
Chopper helps Lyda cut the bandages open to disinfect the wounds and to check up on Silvers injuries.
"Whoooooaaaa! Amazing! That's a very nicely sutured wound!"

"T-Thank you. I had a lot of practice."

"I see that. And these muscles! This guy is a real monster! How does he not hurt himself when he moves?"

"H-He does. I suspect he might be a bit too strong. He also habitually punches his wounds to "make them stay closed"."

"This guy is scary..."

Chopper then proceeded to check Silvers vitals and found several irregularities such as his wounds closing around Choppers needle while he was drawing blood from him, or his internal temperature being dangerously low. Naturally Lyda had some answers for that.

"S-Silvers body is greatly affected by his devil fruit. Normally it's so high it'd be considered a deadly fever in others but when he sleeps it dips far below normal parameters. I suspect that like most bats he enters torpor when he sleeps."

"Yeah but bats don't have this kind of rapid healing. A heightened metabolism could explain it but during torpor all vital functions slow down. Hold on I think I know what this is!"
Chopper sits down and starts rummaging through his backpack for a book.

"T-That's the Treaties on Remedies of the Grand Line Vol. IV isn't it?"

"Yes you got good eyes! I read something eerily similar to what your captain is showing. It's called-"

"Bio-feedback. Also known as Life Return."
Lyda reaches into her little lunchbox and brings out the same book from it, except it's a newer revised edition.

"A-AMAZING! How did you get that? I wanted to buy one but the book store said they had no more copies!"

"I-I know. I bought the last one. You can have it Dr Chopper. I already memorized all of it."

"Thanks!"

Chopper wasted no time flipping through the pages of the newly acquired book. It still has that freshly printed smell. As he does so however Lyda scuttles closer to the plush animal like doctor and snuggles up to him.
"You're so cute and fluffy Doctor Chopper... and so smart."

"Awww stop it you stupid bitch! I don't care about your flattery!"

"C-Could I ask you a favor in exchange for the book?"

"Sure! Anything!"

"Then-"
Lyda withdraws a scalpel from her lunchbox and Choppers eyes bulge out of his skull in fear.
"Let me dissect you! I ALWAYS wanted to study the physiology of a zoan and how their transformations change their internals! But Silvers body is way too resilient! I promise you won't feel a thing and I'll put you back stronger than ever!"

"ROOOOOBIIIIIIIN! PLEASE COME BACK AND SAVE MEEEEE!"

Curls and silver

Perhaps none were as eager to have interactions with the opposing pirate group than the cook of the straw hats. But not for the right reasons. As soon as the ice was broken he wasted no time to make his presence known for the potentially very dangerous crew, or at least its female members.

"Ah mademoiselle!"
He skipped over the Hagetaka as she was huffing her pipe.
"Please tolerate my vulgar, unsightly, UNWORTHY existence for just a minute. I simply couldn't ignore your unearthly beauty even if I gouged my own eyes out! Would you be as gracious as to tell me your name so that I may take it with myself to the grave and die happy?"

"Hagetaka."

"Ah! What an exotic, BEAUTIFUL and powerful name! It is such a perfect match for one who embodies the idea that strength is beauty! I simply can not take it! Even sitting idly appears so elegant when performed by a lady like you!"

Angel took a large hit from her peace pipe and blew the smoke in Sanjis face, her ambivalent demeanor only managing to excite him further.
"It means Vulture. My other name is Angel, but you're not permitted to say it. My captain gave it to me and only him or my fellows may use it. And spare your empty flattery, if you're serious about courting me then do it the traditional way. Provide a suitable dowry to my guardian, in this case my captain instead of my father!"

Sanji couldn't believe his ears. This woman... would be willing to marry him just like that? His eyes immediately turned into hearts.
"Oh yes mommy! I'll steal the very stars off the sky for chuuu Angel-chwaaaan!"

He get smacked in the face for his troubles with Angels spear-shaft.
"Good. Then I'll require at least one billion bellies or an its equivalent in pelts. All hunted by you of course."

"AYE AYE SI- wait what?"

"My captain offered one billion for that which he coveted the most. I expect you to outperform him."

And the dream shattered just like that. But maybe, JUST MAYBE HE COULD-
"OH NAMI-SWAAAAAAN! PWETTY PWEASE CAN I BOVVOW A WIDDLE BIT OF MONEY?????"

"HELL NO!"
And he got smacked in the face a second time, and a third, and a fourth until his face resembled a tumor more than a face.

Meanwhile at the opposite end of the room two people are having the time of their lives.
"See? I told you! Now pay up!"

"This is pretty entertaining not gonna lie. Here's your drink."
Zoro, having lost the bet handed his bottle of sake over to Marcella. When she approached him about showing something awesome in exchange for his booze he didn't think she could amuse him like that. Guess he was wrong.
"She shuts men down like that often?"

"Oh she didn't. That was completely serious."

"Wait what?"

"Heh sometimes cowtits has her uses!"
Marcella chuckled as she knocked back the sake.
"BLEH! This tastes like ass! What is it made of rice or something? Would it kill you people to develop a taste?!"

Of traps and men

Sanji after being beaten to a bloody pulp lays unconscious before Namis feet. The navigator annoyed by her chefs AUDACITY to request MONEY for a WOMAN offended her beyond reason. So it felt far too good to beat him up. As she put her strange modular staff away the red haired woman of the ever so strange Silver Pirates approaches her drinking from a juicebox, most likely to cleanse her palette after that horrendous drink she just had.

"Yo. What's curlys damage?"

"Just a concussion."

"I meant in general."

"Oh that? He's just weird I guess."

"Yeah? Thought so but, ouch."

"Y-You too?"

"Yeah. Our captain is not just a clown, he's the entire circus. And we're his backup dancers. But how do you tolerate that?"

"Oh he's harmless. He wouldn't actually do anything. He's just annoying. But mind if I ask something? Does your captain just point at people and decides they'll be nakama?"

"Shit you too? I mean you guys don't LOOK so unhinged. Meanwhile we have a fishman, a stripper, the guy in shady alleys you don't make eye contact with, a zombie, a nun and a kid. I swear it's some elaborate set-up to a joke but I don't see that punc hline yet."

"You wouldn't believe it. They may look normal but they definitely aren't! It's saying much when the talking reindeer is the least unhinged one of the group... Say mind if I ask you something? Why are you guys here? Besides captains orders I mean."

"Well it's mostly that. Though we don't have any complaints. I can't think of many groups in the world that deserve being Silvered more than these guys. And I guess it's kinda our thing to step on the gov'ments toes now. So yeah. Part of the job really."

"And what's this about money that I keep hearing? I don't think they keep a lot of wealth on the Judicial Island."

"Oh that. Well you know how they tried to frame us, you and us together I mean. Make it look like "Pirates did it". They also stole a whole bunch of money from Iceburg to divert attention from the blueprints."

"Oooooh? So there's a lot of money involved?"

"OY! I see your eyes turning into Belli! Don't even think about touching our 500.000.000 you tangerine flavored skankcicle!"

"F-FIVE HUNDRED-"
Nami swallows her continuously building saliva like Luffy does meat.
"Iceburg is THAT RICH?! Ohooo! I guess that means I can extort a lot out of him for gross negligence later!"

"Nah. He's rich but not THAT rich. That was us."

"E-Eh?"

"We made a deposit. Half the cost of upgrades in advance."

Nami was about to faint but curiosity kept her spirit bound to her body for just a little bit longer. The gears started turning in her head as she put two and two together.
"H-How big was the convoy you guys took out? How many islands-"

"Nah! Our exploits were greatly exaggerated. It was one ship. A tribute ship!"
Marcella grinned and started tapping her shoulder with her bat. Her aura became menacing enough for Nami to realize she's not talking with a fellow tagalong. She was an active combatant. In fact, as she looked around she had to realize ALL of them were exuding the same presence. These guys are ALL monsters!
"So yeah. That money may not have been stolen from us. But it IS OURS! So keep your hands to yourself!"

But as tension subtly rises between the two girls the unconscious cook on the ground suddenly gets back to his senses as he senses a lady being threatened. His wounds miraculously disappeared he stands between the two girls.
"Oy Nami-san. Is this guy bothering you? Listen here you little gremlin! I don't know how things go on your ship but I will not tolerate you harassing a lady."

"HUUUUUH?"

"N-No Sanji-kun this is fi-"

"Oy you mustard haired, curly eyed, girly hands, bad postured, chimney smelling, restraining order demanding skinny twink-fuck! WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL ME? Are you THAT sick of having KNEECAPS?! COME ON! SAY THAT TO MY FACE ONE MORE TIME! I'LL HEADBUTT YOU UNTIL THERE'S NOTHING BUT A BUTT LEFT! I'll rearrange your BALLS into your CHEST you one eyed SNAKE! I'LL pry your FINGERNAILS OFF ONE BY ONE AND MAKE A FUCKING NECKLACE OUT OF THEM, WHICH I'LL WEAR TO YOUR FUNERAL WHERE I'LL KICK YOUR GRANDMAS ASS!"

Realizing she needs to act as a mediator Nami steps up and bonks Sanji on the head.
"That's enough Sanji-kun. Why don't you make yourself useful and make me a drink?"

"YES NAMI-SWAN!"

As he leaves Nami sighs with relief and looks at Marcella.
"Sorry about that. He can be quite boneheaded sometime. S-Should I tell him?"

"Hmmm? What?"

"That... you know. You're a girl?"

"What? Who cares about what that loser thinks? But he calls me short one more DAMN time and he'll eat through a straw for the rest of his life you hear?!"

I can't find good art to represent Gu so you'll have to use your imagination on this one

A dispute between gourmands

"Phew. What an explosive temper that little guy has. His height might be a bit too big of a punishment in this case. But oh well. Now let's see, how can I make something for the others? Sniff sniff sniff. Is someone cooking something? I thought Iceburg clobbered this train together at the last minute. But he bothered to make a kitchen?"
Following his nose Sanji was lead to the front of the train much to his surprise.
"Kokoro-san? Are you cooking something?"

"Nah! Nagagagagaga! This young man offered me a drink if he could use the engine to cook something."

"And you let him?"

"Glug glug glug. Huh?"

Ignoring that Sanji went over to see the cook of the Silver Pirates messing around with a cast-iron pan and some sort of liquid in it. The concoction didn't look appetizing at all, more like boiling tapwater with random things floating in it and it released such fumes that it made even the trained chef, who was not unfamiliar with bad smells (especially from his apprentice years) queasy. He walked closer to get a better look at things and he took out a spoon to give whatever Omukade was cooking a taste. But he got a slap on his wrists for his trouble and got told to fuck off.

"Hey come on! I just wanted to try, whatever that is."

"It's none of your business is what it is! Didn't your mother teach you not to take what's not yours?"

"Fine sheesh. I was only curious. So what is it anyway?"

"Poison."

"E-Eh? Poison?!"
Sanji couldn't believe his ears. This charlatan called his poison making cooking? Kokoro was drunk sure, but even she wouldn't mix up the those two things. And he did all that in the presence of others?
"Have you lost your mind? What if someone gets sick?"

"They won't. You might however do if you keep this up. Now back off. I need to add more coal, apples, sunflower seeds and carrots to reduce assimilation. Need to slow down its effect."

"Are you MAD? Hey! You bastard! I don't care if you want to kill yourself but don't disrespect cooking with-"

But Sanji couldn't finish that sentence of his. His anger quickly was instead replaced with a morbid curiosity as he watched Gu work. His technique was superb, no doubt honed through years and years of practice. Naturally it was no match for his or Zeffs but still. And not only that but as he made mental notes of the things Toxin was doing he had to realize the crazy cook knew what he was doing. The temperature management, the preparation of the ingredients, the flavor profiles all pointed to this being an actual dish. If he simply ignored the poison in there Sanji would have nothing but praise for him. But now he was not sure what to make of it. Gu finished his creation by making stir fried rice with the liquid and the other ingredients. It wasn't much, just enough for one man to have a very light meal. The draft in the cabin quickly cooled it down until it was at an edible temperature and the chef wolfed down on it like there was no tomorrow.

Sanji meanwhile lit a cigarette and began questioning him.
"So... you feed your people like that?"

"Not this... but like that."

"And what was, this?"

"An experiment. If it doesn't kill me within five minutes I just learned a valuable lesson. And I'll be much more useful."

"And if it does?"

"Then that means I reached my goal. I just died reaching it!"

Sanji stood there patiently smoking his cigarette and waiting out those precious five minutes. He watched and waited eagerly what would happen. Exactly five minutes after the first five minutes Omukade began convulsing violently and foam came from his mouth. Sanji tried to go ahead and kick his stomach so hard he'd evacuate his bowels. Maybe if the poison was removed from his system and he ingested something to reduce the toxicity he might live. But Gu grabbed his leg with surprising strength. He looked up and grinned at Sanji.
"Don't! Let me suffer! I'd be dead now if it didn't work! Now... I just have to withstand this!"

Sanji didn't understand most of this. But he did get one thing. This man was ready to sacrifice his life at a chance to improve himself. Whatever he wanted to achieve with that must've been very important to him. If he tried to help Gu with his suffering he'd be doing what he accused Gu of doing in the first place. So instead Sanji just nodded and went on to make some snacks and refreshments for Nami and the others.

"Mother! Who is that man?"

"Oh William I don't even know. I think he might be a clown that accidentally came onto the train."

Ann couldn't believe her eyes. There was currently a man wearing nothing but a hawaiian shirt, sunglasses and a pair of briefs and he's somehow not the biggest pervert on the train. She's not sure how that song sounds in his head but as he's awkwardly murmuring it to himself it sounds quite pathetic. Unfortunately for her it seemed to capture the heart and soul of someone in close proximity to her.

"WHOOOOOAAAAAH! So you're a Hero?"

"Indeed I am! So don't worry! I'll fight all the bad guys myself to make sure no harm comes to you!"

"So coooooool~"

Hey mister! You said you're from Sniper Island! Is it a cool place?"

"Yes young boy! It is the coolest place there is. The home of the greatest sharpshooters on the seven seas! Just like the song said!"

"WOOOOOOOW! I wanna go there one day!"

"Oh that's impossible."

"H-Huh? Why?"

"E-Erm. Well because Sniper Island... is in your heart!"

Will turned to Ann, his eyes sparkling with amazement.
"Mother! I decided! I'll become a sniper and help Silver that way! I bet that way I'll get a name!"

"Hmmm? Name?"

"Yes! Captain Silver gives everyone a name! We don't have yet. But I'm sure we'll get some soon!"

Ann lovingly patted Will on the back since his head was covered by a pot.
"I'm glad to hear that William! But I'm sure Silver will give you a name regardless if he sees you putting a lot of effort into your work. But now if you'll excuse me I have some things to talk with Mister Sogeking. Go tell the others in the meantime what you just said to me!"
As Will gleefully ran to Angel and Murray first Mother Ann grabbed Sogeking by the ears and dragged him far, far away.
"This way please. Sogeking..."

"Oyoyoy! W-Where are we going?"

After dragging him into an empty car Ann locked the door and transformed into her hybrid state, making the brave hero of sniper island almost choke in fear.
"Now listen here hero-"
Long, powerful legs gently traced their way up Sogekings body until they reached his neck. Ann really had to restrain herself to not harm him. She hasn't been around strong people for very long but she knows how the weak look. And this man was weak, like her. His posture felt stiff and forced, his legs were shaking, his voice was always cracking. He is an average man, a nervous man trying to project power. And failing miserably. Even before he had a 7 foot tall spider monster pushing down on him.
"I don't care about your boasts. But if any harm comes to William because of your tall tales, I'll tie your arms and legs up and let you sink to the bottom of the ocean! Have I made myself clear? Be a bit more responsible in the future!"
Ann then reverted to her human form and gave him a warm smile as she left him there.
"I'm glad we understood each other!"

Gu is good, but I think he needs a little more development to get on par with Murray and Marcella, kinda like Hagetaka.
There's a lot of potential there, it just needs a little more time in the oven, which honestly is why this little set of short scenes was such a brilliant idea, lets Spooky do some of that development without having to worry about how Silver is involved or giving us choices so we can throw wrenches into the story.

This is pretty much all I had.
I considered doing the "Luffy and Zoro bug Silver in his sleep" but decided against it. Luffy will see your tattoos some other way. And no need for Zoro to know what kinda hands Silver is throwing in his sleep. Only Gu gets that privilidge

I may be reading to much into it, but I think we got Ann's reason to be a pirate now. She had to restrain herself from hurting Sogeking, someone she has never met before and hasn't really done anything to her or hers. And she had to try to *not* hurt him.

I think her fruit is getting to her, spiders are after all remarkably predatory creatures and quite often depicted as all kinds of cruel.

Now with urges and instincts like that I can't help but wonder if her "I'm not fit to be a nun" goes a little deeper then just eating a random fruit. If, perhaps, she no longer considers herself fit for polite society and begun looking at the sea to escape, somewhere she wouldn't be ostracized when things inevitably reveal themselves. Better run then be driven out and all that and we just pushed things a lot further and faster then it otherwise would.

But like I said, could be reading to much into things.

I like the idea that "Predatory Fruit makes you violent"
But she got mad mainly got mad because she is Wills guardian so to speak, as was back on Windy Windy Island. She needs to be responsible and educate the kid so he grows up to be smart and strong. And filling his head with lies is not going to help him.

Silver is different because when HE makes an outrageous claim it's usually true or about to be. AND now that they are part of his crew Silver will be there to get Will out of stick situations that he might get into thanks to his new influence.
She thinks Sogeking is highly irresponsible and immature, as would anyone who's not part of the Straw Hats. Even Franky acknowledged that he's acting super weird and the others told him "Yeah he just can't face reality right now and this is how he handles it. Just let him be"

"So that's how it is. Yosh! I'm going to the engine and ask fat lady Kokoro for some coal."

"Okay, I'll get a metal rod to poke you with-"

Overhearing the two Hagetaka walks up to them and nods approvingly.
"Instead of using easy and painless tattooing you'd brand yourself? Now that is dedication! Allow me to assist as well! I'll hold you down!"

There is some mild confusion between all three of them but after a few clarifications they all come to an understanding about what tattooing actually involves. Still it does not make Hagetaka any less impressed with the two. She quickly explains to them that she's the one who applied the ink to Silvers body and that no, she can't give Luffy one as there's simply not enough time. Not that the rather bumpy train ride would allow it anyway.

"Awww. That's lame. Guess I have to do something else while we're waiting."
Luffy walks back over to Silver and starts prodding him in his sleep.
"Hey check it out Zoro! Shishishi! He moves around in his sleep when you poke him!"

"Oooooh? He must have good reflexes! Let's see how good they are-"

"For your sake you must stop at once!"
Angel steps up to Luffy.
"The cat which plays with the crab will have its paw snipped."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"Shishishi! Don't worry! It's fine se-"
But as Luffy spoke suddenly Silvers hand reached up and grabbed him by the throat. Despite not being damaged by the strong hold due to his rubber body the impressive grip still shut his windpipe, making the pirates head turn gradually bluer.
"Z-Zoho! H-Hehp!"

"Snip."

"LUFFY! Hold on I'll get him off-"
Zoro swung his sword but it was met with the enemy captains own blade.
"W-What? This is not just a reflex! He's sleepwalking!"

"No. The correct term is "sleepfighting". Allow me. If you fight him you'll just tire yourself out."
Walking up the the fighting trio she slowly reaches up to Silvers nape before gently rubbing it, which prompts him to let go of Luffys throat.

Taking a breather after rolling away Luffy looks at the two pirates with an annoyed expression.
"Gah! What was that?"

"You got lucky. It's easy to make him let go one hand. But when you try to wake him in the morning and he locks his arms and legs around you it can be difficult to break free. Even if you really... have to go... for reasons."
