"No. Just me. Others can do other stuff but only if they ate a devil fruit."

"Other stuff?"

"Yeah. Other stuff. Anything really. Like those weapons outside. I bet the one throwing them ate one as well."

"A-Ah. Sir Vander Decken..."

And there it is. Despite her obvious delight there is great sadness in her and now it's showing itself again. But really who could blame her? Being locked up in this spacious but still relatively tiny room for ten long years would be enough to drive most people mad. In fact it is driving you mad right now but in a completely different way. Still you're determined to not show any of that.

"Fishy?"

"M-My name is Shirahoshi."

"If you could go anywhere, if you didn't have to stay in the tower, where would you go? Would you like to see the sun? Or the stars? Or the trees?"

"No. I know where I'd like to go. I would like to see my mom. I haven't been able to visit her in ten years."

"Oh. Yeah. Your mom. You're the princess so your mom is the queen. I heard what happened. I'm sorry."

"Please don't say that!"
She raises you to meet her face to face and speaks up with a louder, more commanding voice. It's only a little bit ruined by her being on the verge of tears again but still.
"You don't have to apologize since you didn't do anything."

This is a bit odd for you as you don't sense even a hint of hate or anger in her voice, only sadness. Is she not mad about her mom being killed all those years ago or...
"Sorry."

"Please don't apologize!"

"Okay okay. Geez you're whiny."

"I'm not whinyyyy-"
And she's crying again.

>If you stop crying I promise you'll be able to visit your mom soon
>Hey. Let's go visit your mom right now!
>Okay you're not whiny. Happy?
>Other?

He literally won't know that we're taking her anywhere... And taking her anywhere is just going to put a tiny bandaid on the whole situation, why not solve the whole thing, permanently, so that she can go outside whenever she wants rather then literally just once?
Besides, I can see Silver the physically and mentally abused child taking grave offense to someone doing what he has done to little fishy

"Hey! Hey stop it! Hey Shark stop him!"

"Shaaa!"

"Damn you're both useless! Okay! Hey Fishy!"

"H-Huh?"

"How about I take you to your mom right now? Would you like that?"

"My mother? B-But-"

"But what?"

"But I can not leave. I'd love to visit mother very much but father and my esteemed brothers would be very upset with me and I don't want that."

Yeah there is that problem. She was locked up in here for a reason. But that reason is making you question just how tough her family members are. Guess they are either big weenies as well or they didn't want to take any chances. Still that's no reason for you to not give it a try at least. Going up to the massive iron door you open it slightly and see a guard outside. He starts asking if it's the Shark who wants to go out but you don't answer and silently yoink one of the big weapons off the door before shutting the entrance again.
"Hey Fishy, look!"
Bringing the gigantic axe over to your knee you snap it in half right in front of the mermaid.
"See? Easy! So if you don't want to be a weenie pack your stuff and follow me! Or er... go and I'll come after. I don't know where your mom is."

Shirahoshi seems very much confused about this as for the last ten years she barely had any decisions to make. Immediately she looks at Megalo who's desperately waving his fins around in protest. But when she looks at you she sees you grinning and brimming with confidence. It's clear that she does want to come along so all it takes to tip her over is for you to extend a hand for her and ask her if she wants to breathe some fresh air.

"I... I'll come with you!"
She reaches forward to take your hand but the size difference makes that impossible so she extends her pinky finger for you to hold.
"W-What now?"

>I don't know. Are you afraid of falling from big heights?
>Let's tell your dad you're going out for a walk

As someone who just joined halfway last thread, I just gotta hand it to you Spooks. The tone of writing (if that makes sense) is spot-on.

"Simple! We tell the others where we're going! It's the polite thing to do!"

"I-I guess that's true. Wait let me put a bubble on. I hardly use these."

After giving Shirahoshi a moment to make a bubble around her waist you pull her by her pinky finger and kick down the front door. Multiple guards notice this and they all come at you with their tridents ready.
"HALT! Who in blazes are you?! And how did you get in the chamber of the princess?!"

"P-Please everyone this isn't-"

But as Fishy tries to explain the situation your ears pick up a certain wooshing sound approaching rapidly. With your free hand you reach up and grab it by the shaft as it flies past. The massive axe stops inches away from Shirahoshi but it seems keen on continuing. It's trying to break free of your hand and hit its mark.
"Enough!"
A pulse, like the heartbeat of a leviathan washes over the place and the axe becomes inert. While the guards were mostly left unaffected they still feel that something is terribly wrong, a sensation which is compounded by the fact that you're holding weapon several times your own size over your head with seemingly no effort. You throw the thing over your shoulder and it hits the hard walls of the tower after which you turn to the guards.
"I'm sorry but I don't know my way around the place. How do I get back to King Santa? Big room with big table? No food?"

"I-I believe Megalo knows."

"Oh cool! Sharky! You show me the way!"

The guards remain frozen as you walk past them but eventually you overhear their frantic shouting.
"WE MUST WARN KING NEPTUNE IMMEDIATELY!"

"Won't that be a problem?"

"What? No. I don't think so."

After a few minutes of walking around the palace you arrive at the dining hall where your friends are surrounded by oh, about a hundred guards armed to the teeth. You don't smell blood in the air but there is plenty of bloodlust going all around.
"What is the meaning of this King Neptune?!"
Jaws demands.

"SILENCE! I don't know what you scum want but I'll squeeze every last drop of blood you have if you so much as TOUCH MY DAUGHTER!"

"Father! Hold these scum down while we find their leader! He won't survive if he lays a hand on our sister!"

"Ah. Looks like I came at a wrong time. Tell you what, we'll be back once you guys calm down."

"SILVER! WHAT THE SHIT?! WHAT DID YOU DO AGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa... holy moly."

"P-PRINCESS SHIRAHOSHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII?!"

Marcella and Murray just freeze and the others simply stare in awe at you, or more precisely at the gigantic mermaid behind you. You swear some of them are drooling even.

But their funny reactions can't distract you from the obvious hostility of the royal guard, especially that of the king and his three sons. Neptune reacts immediately by pointing his trident at you and ramming you with all his might.
"LET GO! OF MY! DAUGHTER!"

Letting go of Shirahoshis hand you draw Argent and Parley and use both of them to block the giant mermans attack. Luckily the tips of his weapon are big enough for you to duck under but they are still quite threatening, especially with the strength of this giant behind them. Despite his attack being stopped he continues to push until he manages to pin you against the wall.
"SHIRAHOSHI! RUN! GET BACK TO THE HARDSHELL TOWER BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!"

>Push the king back with force
>"I'm taking Fishy to her mom. Don't get in my way."
>"Hey Fishy. Mind lending a hand?"

>>4961714
>"I'm taking Fishy to her mom. Don't get in my way."

>>4961714
>"Hey Fishy. Mind lending a hand?"

This is the part where you use your words and talk instead of sitting in the corner like a weenie. Stop being a weenie.

>>4961714
Switching>>4961728
to
>"Hey Fishy. Mind lending a hand?"
I'm no weenie.

So, I think if we incorporated Raziel's clan into our transformation, we'd most likely get an increased wingspan for longer glide times.

The fish brother is right out, because while we could probably fake having fins, in the end, we still can't swim.

The spider brother would most likely emphasize our claws, which could be used for combat, or scaling walls.

As for the weakest brother? Maybe we could somehow slim ourselves down enough that we could easily pass through bars.

Kain would be a terrifying amalgamation of all our forms, and raise our parameters quite high. It would also be our panic button, as sustaining such a form would be quite taxing on us, leaving vulnerable when our time is up.

...Also, oh shit.

Well judging by the number of votes Fishy might have to grow a vestigial backbone

You feel the wall behind you cracking so as you hold off the king you look to Shirahoshi.
"FISHY! What do you want?"

"H-Huh?"

"If you want something you should act for it! You said you're not a weenie! Then act and use your words!"

"SHUT UP!"

Neptune gives you another thrust and you hear more cracking, though it's impossible to tell if it was still the wall behind you. But you refuse to avert your eyes and look as the guards are trying to pull Shirahoshi away and back into her tower.
"F-Father! Please stoooooop!"
Neptune looks behind his back as he hears his daughter scream and break free of the guards hold.
"Silver didn't do anything! I asked him to take me out!"

"S-Shirahoshi? But why?"

"I want to visit MOTHER!"

As the words hit Neptunes ears his rage fueled strength vanishes and he becomes quite emotional, which allows you to slip out of his hold. The king looks like he was just gravely wounded and clenches his heart. He's trying quite hard to hold back his own tears.
"I'm sorry my little princess. But you know you can't! So please... go back! Go back and I promise that one day you will!"

The brothers and even the guards are overcome by the same sullen mood as if the kings grief is spreading to them. Which normally would be provide an excellent opportunity for you to bail but not now. Rushing up to Shirahoshi you jump in the air and throw out a fist to hit the newest animate weapon flying at her.

"HASSHOKEN!"
The axe shatters like glass and you land next to Shirahoshi.
"Good!"

"W-What is the meaning of this? What's going on?"

"You heard it Santa. Fishy wants to go to her mom. I make sure she gets there."

Finally the pieces fall in place and your friends understand what happened, and among other things now know that they can't let you go to the toilet on your own either because somehow you can trigger such chain of events even from that. But they use their newfound knowledge to help King Neptune understand. It takes a bit of convincing from both them and Shirahoshi herself that nobody intends to harm her but by the end he accepts the reality of things.

"My apologies everyone. It's just that... hearing my daughter is in danger can get some extreme reactions out of me. I must ask for your forgiveness."

"I 'unno King. You did just raise your weapons at us. Usually we leave smoldering piles of rubble when someone does that. You better make that apology grand indeed."

"MARCY!"

"What? It's true! This guy did want to kill us!"

"She's right. I uh, I still owe you that feast don't I? Very well. Minister! I want to show these people our utmost hospitality! Did I make myself clear? And open up the treasury as well! I'm sure we can find a suitable gift in there."

"B-But your Majesty!"

You yawn at all of this.
"Do what you will I'm taking Fishy to her mom. Anyone else interested in coming?"

"I'm coming."
Murray steps up.

"As am I."
Fukaboshi does the same.
"No matter your intentions I can't allow my sister to go unprotected."

So we going fish hunting for Vander Decken after this?

>>4961836
If we get them to tell us, which is looking likely. Then we go fishing with our Master Baiter. We must say this regardless of the coming punishment.

>>4961836
I'd hope so
>>4961842
I mean, we already have a name and a means of tracking down said name via the constant flow of weapons emanating from his current position... All we have to do, really, is convince Daunty to go swimming again.

The four of you alongside the giant shark leave the others alone and depart to wherever Queen Otohime is. Some of the guards protested, stating they can't allow members of the royal family to go unguarded but you told them off since even combined they are a bunch of weenies. As you leave the Ryugu Palace and fly through the sky Jaws and the Prince start talking while you're sitting by Shirahoshis side pointing out fun looking things to each other.

"Do you always cause such ruckus wherever you go?"

"No prince. Usually it's worse. You should consider yourselves lucky, or unlucky I should say, since Silver seems to have taken a liking to your sister. Well it's not really that surprising now that I think about it. And don't worry, we won't take your treasure. Just the cost of food alone will empty your treasury..."

"I see. Tell me, what made you serve such an erratic person?"

"I suggest you watch your mouth prince. I'm not your enemy but I'm not beyond teaching you a lesson. None of us "serve" anyone and if you talk ill of my captain once more I'll make you regret it!"

You fly over most of Fishman Island and encounter a few more weapons but not too many. Eventually though you reach the very precipice of the island where you spot the graveyard where the Queen was buried. As you get off Shirahoshi gets intensely emotional and freezes up, necessitating Fukaboshis intervention.
"Come sister. I'll take you to mother."

The two of them enter a rather large shrine erected for the queen alone and you see Shirahoshi praying. Out of consideration you tune out her voice and look at Murray to occupy yourself a little.
"Tell me more about the queen Jaws."

"What would you like to know?"

"What kind of person was she?"

"Sigh. She was a gentle soul. One might even say too gentle. She felt for every living soul, even those that don't deserve it. Once she saved the life of a dying Celestial Dragon and against better judgment went to the Holy Land with him. Nobody knows how but she got a piece of paper from them, which would allow all Fishmen to move to the surface if they wanted to. She truly believed coexistence with humans was the way for us and she worked tirelessly to achieve that dream. But then... she was killed. And her dream was ruined."

"By a human?"

"Hmph..."
No answer.
"She truly represented some of the best of us. The day she passed away the nations heart broke. But I suspect the collective pain of every person on the island paled in comparison to what they felt. You see, when Otohime passed away her children were there in her last moments. All of them."

You pull your hat over your eyes.
"And Fishy? How was she out?"

"I wasn't here for much longer after that. But I did gather things mostly. Vander Decken IX was a pirate. He saw Shirahoshi grieving and touched her. And that degenerate has a devil fruit power where he can mark people he touches. That's how he can attack Shirahoshi to this day."

Back from the archives to share this great snippet of wisdom from Spooky the Sage because it made me kek:

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

>"He 'touched her' the day her mother died..."

Yeah, Silver's not gonna be happy with this guy...

>>4961891
Tbf, for all I hate the guy, he didn't actually do anything scummy at that point. She was in shock watching her mom dying in front of her, so he just snuck up on her, tapped her arm, and then ran off.

With Both Marcella and Murray flat out telling the Royals that things are about to, rapidly, go downhill from here I wonder if anyone other then Neptune is going to figure out exactly what's about to befall Vander Decken. Maybe Fukaboshi decides to tag along and we get another one of those lovely "dark silhouette with shining eyes" moment

File: Decken.png (894 KB, 1920x1080)

You crack your knuckles. Loudly. And once more for good measure.
"I'd like to talk with him."

"I suspected you'd say that. Luckily... I was thinking the same thing. Taking out Decken was part of my plan as well. But Decken is not the key. It's Hody we need to worry about. As long as he's in the picture nothing we do matters in the long run."

"Got it. Now I'm on board."

"Glad to hear it. Don't like convincing people too much."

With your conversation over with you wait for Shirahoshi and Fukaboshi to finish so you can get back to the palace. Unfortunately a new pair of footsteps can be heard echoing through the mostly empty cemetery.
"Well this is... unexpected."

Both of you turn to face the familiar voice and Murray immediately begins growling.
"Jinbe!"

And that's where I'll have to cut things off. Gotta get back to the ol' wage cage tomorrow.
I may be able to run on Thursday again for a bit longer than usual or if not then I could do a full session on Sunday. We'll see.
Anyway I hope you enjoyed yourselves. Have a good night!

>>4961883
That's actually the exact opposite of what the Mato Mato is. You need to have touched your target with your hands in close quarters to use your ability against them but after that point you can just touch anything else, including a gigantic ship you can't even physically lift, and send it homing against them.

>>4961911
NO PEACE

>>4961911
The Water will be turned into a sun, Seakings will flee our atrocity, and the Red Mountain will shake from Silver's wrath.
>>4961912

Nah Murray hates the guy.

... Also does Jinbe just hang around graveyards all the time, that's just creepy... I also wonder what he thinks about Eliza, and our recent escapades.

>>4961917
The Mato Mato is absolutely bullshit, yes

>>4961927
>Does Jinbe just hang around graveyards all the time?
Not all the time but he spends a lot in this one, yes

us is more of "the crew" than Silver specifically but he probably still wouldn't because Ann would give him "the look".

Jinbe, the first son of the sea. Just looking at the big blue fish-man reminds you of the time he threw you to the ground and made your ribcage pop like a balloon. His strength was inspirational back then and looking at him now you realize just how far you've come. The chances of you beating him have risen from nothing to reasonable. But it's strange. You're not feeling the same urge as you assumed you would, mainly because Jinbe himself doesn't appear to want a confrontation and because he has a big bouquet of flowers in his hand.

"I heard talks of pirates entering the island. I just didn't expect it'd be you guys. Then again, I'm not really surprised either."
He puts the big bundle of flowers down on a headstone and his many bandages becomes visible. He's nursing quite the wounds.
"I hope you're not looking for a fight. This is a graveyard after all."

"No. How about you?"
Since Murray doesn't look very chatty at the moment you carry the conversation.
"Hang around graves often?"

"Just one. I always make sure to tend to one of them. Unfortunately I've been... prevented from doing that for a while now. And you? Not looking to rob them, right?"

"Nope."

Finally Murray also manages to cool himself enough to speak.
"Jinbe. I've been looking for you."

"Yes I heard. Shyarly told me a burly eel-fishman was asking about me. If you're looking for revenge then you caught me at an opportune moment. My wounds from Marineford still haven't healed. Speaking of which, I had a feeling I'd bump into you there. Guess I was wrong."

"You can't hide behind the excuse of being injured Jinbe! We also had our fair share of fighting before coming here!"

"Yes I know about that as well. Frankly, I don't know what you were thinking. With that stunt of yours you may have just become the second most wanted people in the world. Third at the worst. I guess you're lucky that I severed all ties with the Government. Otherwise I'd be obligated to take you all in, even if I disliked the idea."

"Judging us for the same thing Tiger did, huh Jinbe? Well... I always knew you were a hypocrite but it's good to get some confirmation."

"Let's get one thing straight whelp. You're not Tai. And never will be."

"Correct."
Murray raises his palm and grabs the chain of Umibozu.
"My actions won't be steeped in lies Jinbe!"

"Hmph. And here I thought you would've calmed down after a couple months. Guess I was not thorough enough last time!"
Jinbe also raises his palm, signaling his readiness to fight.

"Silver... I ask you as a subordinate and a friend. Don't interfere!"

No fighting in front of Fishy's mom!

>>4963999

"Fishy's visiting her mom, we should go outside first."

No getting distracted while Fishy might catch a stray shipwreck to the face

>>4963999
>>Other?
Tell them to take it outside

>>4964003
I'll change my vote and second this, with the added caveat of us staying near Fishy.

If they two big fishy bois wanna duke it out, Silver is okay with that. But at least move it somewhere so Fishy isn't bothered by it.

>>4964003
Supporting. No wrecking the graves.

>>4963999
>Other
>Tell them to take it outside
tough choice

>>4964008
Also this. We still need to play bodyguard until we fillet and/or drown Decken.

>>4964013
why not both?

would be a bit hard fighting jimbo and keeping fishy safe at the same time

>>4963999
>Order him to take it out of the graveyard

>>4964019
Honestly, if Fishy wasn't there to visit her mommy, this would have been a good moment to help beat the weenie out of Fishy by introducing her to some good ol' mano el mano fight.

The two of them start sizing each other up, looking for a weakness, an opening. But as their senses sharpen you stomp your feet on the ground and let out a bellowing shout, utterly disturbing the peaceful air of the cemetery in favor of having it destroyed by their rampage.
"ENOUGH! If you want to kill each other do it elsewhere! I can't keep paying attention to you and Dicken at the same time! AND NO FIGHTING IN FRONT OF FISHY!"

"I uh... Understood captain. I apologize Jinbe."

"Accepted. And I beg for your forgiveness as well. I got a bit overzealous despite stating that I don't want to cause trouble in a graveyard. So shall this be a neutral ground?"

"We'll settle this later. But I have a stipulation."

"Which is?"

"Remember what I swore months ago?"
Jinbe raised his guard in a panic but Jaws already disappeared from sight. The giant blue fishman turned around as his Observation Haki kicked in but he was unable to stop what was about to happen. Then Murray patted his head.
"I got your head."

"Hmph."
Jinbe knocked Murrays arm away with a swipe.
"Funny..."
Murray laughs and Jinbe picks up his bundle of flowers. Looks like if not solved at least the issue has been postponed. The former Shichibukai now dares to approach you more closely so he can talk with you face to face.
"But this is a surprise. I assumed you'd both jump at me like you did last time. It's surprising to see you maturing so much but it is a welcome one."

"N-No. You do not understand. I don't think he cares what we do to each other."

"Hmmmm? Then I really don't get it. And what's this talk about someone named Dickens?"

"Well you see Silver has trouble with names. And he gives everyone a nickname, or several. It can be both a sign of affection and one of disgust. You know which it is if he hugs or punches you. He means Decken."

"Decken? Ah. You mean Vander Decken and his ability with weapons? Yeah now it's a bit clear. But wait. That would mean-"

As Jinbe stops nodding a pair of figures emerge from Otohimes tomb looking a bit frightened.
"I-Is something wrong? We heard shouting."

"Ah yes, that's what I thought. Princess Shirahoshi. Makes sense............ WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?! PRINCESS SHIRAHOSHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII?! AND PRINCE FUKABOSHI?!"

"B-Boss Jinbe?"

>>4964044
We can just use Princess Fishy as a radar and follow where the weapons come from.

>>4964053
NO that would be too dangerous

>>4964056
With everyone standing near her, not really, only thing to do is send forward scouts then rush the bastard.

As Jinbe starts screaming your ears perk up again and you jump into action to deflect another flying weapon which manages to snap him out of his shock.
"Ah. I see. So that's why the princess left her tower. I don't know how you managed that, or how you convinced King Neptune to let you do it."

"That's just how it is. You're either going with the flow or you're going against Silver, which you don't want. But the captain decided to protect the princess so she could visit her mother."

"I see. I must admit I'm jealous. Not even I would be able to pull this off. Sadly my fighting style is tailored more around strength, not speed. Now if you'll excuse me. You two! It has been a while!"

Both Fukaboshi and Shirahoshi approach the blue fishman with glee.
"Boss Jinbe! It's a pleasure to see you! Have you brought flowers to mothers grave?"

"Yes. It doesn't make up for all the times I neglected it but I hope to rectify that while I'm staying here."

"Will you be staying for long? We only heard you were in the area after the war but hardly anyone knows what you're doing."

"They know prince, they know. They are just concerned about me. I don't think there's a single soul that they'd trust with my whereabouts. But enough about me. How are you holding up?"

"The same as always I'm afraid. Though everyone is a little on edge due to the war."

"Ah yes. The old mans protection no longer applies to you. Don't worry I already made some arrangements. As long as I live not a soul on the island will be hurt. But excuse me for a moment, I have something to discuss with these two pirates."
Jinbe then turns back to you.
"Ahem. Are you two crazy?"

"Yes."
"Yes."

"You've brought the princess outside? Do you have any idea how much threat you just exposed her to? If Decken gets his hands on her-"

"Relax Jimbo. I can jump good because I don't have a big belly. I can take care of these stupid little things easy peasy! See?"

"That's not-"

"Go with the flow Jinbe."

"This is ridiculous..."

>Anyway don't stop just because of us. It sounded like you were talking about something important
>Okay now promise me you won't cause any trouble. I'll ask Fishy how she is
>Other?

>>4964053
Kind of, but I think that'd be a little to dangerous... What we could do is just follow the fairly constant stream of projectiles... Considering how well sound travels through water I don't think we should have much trouble tracking them

fuck the captcha

>>4964072
>Are you in some kind of troubler jimbo?

>>4964072
Why is Jinbe asking a stupid question like is Silver crazy? Did he hit his head harder during the war in this timeline or something?
>Anyway don't stop just because of us. It sounded like you were talking about something important
>>4964081
.....this sounds better and more in character. Switching to this.

>>4964072
>"Not if I get my hands on him first"
Knuckle cracking optional, but appreciated

>>4964081
This is also good

>>4964082
Jinbes only real exposure to Silver was him decking Murray in the face and Silver immediately going beast mode on him. And the rest is what he heard from his crew or read in heavily censored government approved documents.

He knew you were kinda mad. But he had no idea just how stupid you really are

>>4964072
>>Anyway don't stop just because of us. It sounded like you were talking about something important

Oh nooo, Jinbe thinks Silver is competent....AHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA

I almost flipped a pan of hot oil on myself. But my thigh got in its way so it only singed me a little before I could flip it back

"He's going to be a problem only until I get my hands on him."
You crack your knuckles.
"But don't mind me, keep going. Sounded like you were talking about something serious. Are you in troubler Jimbo?"

"Well yes. You could say that. After I officially resigned from the Seven Warlords everything I got in turn is null and void. My status may not have offered much protection to the island when compared to Whitebeards claim on it but it was at least something. Not to mention my former crewmembers whose bounties were nullified because of me. I don't know if they'll become wanted again."

"Hmph. So much good becoming a government dog did then."

"You want to start this again?"

"No. In fact I'd prefer to finish it. So how about I come clean?"

"Please... do."

"I hate everything you did Jinbe. Every. Single. Thing. You're one of the main reasons why the island is in the mess it is right now! Or at least one of the last ones."

"And care to elaborate how I'm a problem or are you just going to bark at me some more?"

"Gladly. You see when I said I know everything I meant it! I know. Everything! Starting with Tiger! Tai was more than an idol to me, he was an inspiration like for many others. So I asked around those that quit your crew. But I noticed a few "mistakes" in their stories. The little details never lined up. And I decided to go prodding. Finally the Macro Pirates, the guys who left the Sun Pirates after you took over told me everything after I paid them. They told me everything! Your lies!"

Jinbe looks just about ready to smack Murray and judging by how agitated he is something similar must've played out back on Flip-Flop Island. Luckily this time the fish-man restrains himself and instead just starts shouting.
"You ignorant guppy! You have no right to call Tai anything other less than Tiger! Second you don't get to call me a liar! Thinking you know everything while you were never there in the first place! The gall!"

"OH? So how Fisher Tiger died is NOT a lie?! COME ON! SAY IT!"

"Boss... what is the meaning of this?"

"Prince Fukaboshi-"

"How about I tell him Jinbe and you fact-check? Tiger did NOT die because the humans refused to give him a blood transfusion! Tiger died because of his own hatred of humans! Even as he died he refused the blood that he thought to be "tainted"! The one that killed Tai were not the humans! He killed himself!"

Fukaboshi is gasping in disbelief while Shirahoshi doesn't really seem to know what's going on. Jinbe no longer looks angry but his eyes have bags under them. He's tired.
"Yes. That is correct. Tiger did die because he refused human blood. But like I said, you don't understand."

"Then how about you stop with the lies and MAKE me understand you old fool?!"

"Watch your tongue whelp."
Jinbe sighed.
"The truth is that Tiger hated humans, yes. But he also hated himself for it. He wanted to love humans just as Queen Otohime did long ago. But he couldn't. Because he was a slave to the Celestial Dragons."

"Brother Tai had a burning rage in his heart which he despised. And as he laid there, dying he begged us for one thing. He begged that we'd abandon his examples and follow the Queens because he believed them to be the right path."

Hearing the name of the world nobles shocks everyone, even Jaws. However he's not quite done yet.
"Yeah. Alright. Nice sob story. However it does not excuse you lying about his death!"

"You fool! Us exposing Tais hatred would've hurt Otohimes dream! Besides we said nothing about how he died! That was Arlongs doing!"

"Yet you did not bother to correct anyone about it! And by keeping the circumstances of his death a secret you made him a martyr and gave everyone who secretly hated humans an example to point at! Isn't that what everyone says?! "I hate humans because they killed Fisher Tiger!" ISN'T THAT CORRECT? You just wanted to save face for a dead man! And now we're all paying for it! And Arlong? ARLONG?! You became a government dog for the sake of that psychopath!"

"I took the position of Warlord so those slaves we freed could return to their homes!"

"Oh REALLY?! Your crew painted a different picture! They said you were "considering" taking the position but only actually did it when the Marines caught Arlong! And you specifically requested they let him go free!"

"Yes. Yes I did. But it doesn't matter now since he was taken in. And even while he was free I had the government keep an eye on him. If he stepped out of line he would've faced my wrath and he knew that. So that's a moot point. But the rest I... I admit. You're correct. We wanted to preserve Tais legacy as much as we could. He was our brother. He was everyones big brother. Do you know what that's like?"

"Sigh. Yes. I do. Still, you're part of this mess you admit that?"

"I do. But don't worry. I intend to fix it."

"Well so do I. In that at least we have a common interest. I assume you came to the same conclusion as I did?"

"That we'd need an exemplar. Yes. I already have a candidate for it. We just need a little time for him to get ready."

"Well so do I. And he's here right now."

Jinbe gives you a funny look.
"You can't be serious."

"Well excuse me for not waiting to find out yours. Time is not a luxury we have-"

"I don't get it. What's the rush?"

"Well I may not know everything about you Jinbe. But I do know things you don't. And time is not on our side. So in short you snooze, you loose. Isn't that right Silver?"

"Hmmmm? I'm sorry. You took too long and I dozed off."

"I want to make you a hero. You in?"

>Yeah, sure. That sounds interesting.
>Hell. NO!
>Other?

>>4964146
>>Other?
But I'm a Pirate, not a hero.

>>4964146
>Hell. NO!
its the correct answer, since silver instinctively knows heroes have to share their milk, which is an unacceptable concession

>>4964146
>>Yeah, sure. That sounds interesting.
I mean, he's more of a classical hero, but it counts.

>>4964157
You're not wrong, especially as we arrive to the island with two (if we count Eliza's... I feel sorry for those border guards) boatloads of traumatized freed slaves and one of our first actions is to kill someone for, granted utterly heinous, crimes against a poor child.
But I dunno if Silver would see himself as a hero, heroes are limits and morality: Silver does what Silver thinks is right and that's the pirate way!

>>Yeah, sure. That sounds interesting.

>> Ok, but only if you tell the Truth about Tai fish

Murray should know by now that Silver doesn't want to fit into anyone's cookie cutter definitions or images. Silver isn't the pirate king, he's not a hero, he's just who he is. If he wants Silver to be an icon he needs to be subtle about getting Silver to act in certain ways.

Otherwise whirlwind of bad decisions. Good ol' Silver.

ee we are not so idiotic and arrogant silver is more like cu chulainn bloodlust and kills what bothers him but generally it helps or is good if you leave him alone and for sure we will have an end like chulainn half dead and with guts out but still fighting and killing enemies even if we are dead

"Sniff. Hero?"

"Yes."

"Like... Garp the Hero?"

"Erm-"

"HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-"
You throw up violently.

"S-So gross!"

"Is he going to be okay?"

"Erm yeah. Just give him a moment."

"-UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURK! Pant pant pant. HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURK! COUGH COUGH. God that was close! I almost died back there."

"Y-Yeah I see that. Guess there's no point in worrying about the sanctity of this place anymore. J-Just kick some dirt over it. Most people come here on bubbles anyway. Right? But anyway no, not like Garp."

"No. I'm not a hero. I'm Silver!"

Jinbe laughs at this.
"Well I guess we'll be doing things my way after all!"

"Gyogyogyo. Watch this. Alright Silver. No hero business. It's dumb anyway. So how about we do something fun instead? Want to go take care of Vander Decken IX?"

"KEK! NOW YOU'RE SPEAKING MY LANGUAGE!"

You flash a big grin and smash a fist into your other palm. Murray simply lets out a hearty laugh and pats you on the back. But you're not alone presently and the other parties have quite a few things to say about the thing he just proposed. The first is Fukaboshi who seems to be showing a mixture of anger and disbelief.
"What? Are you two serious? We've been trying to track down Decken for a decade now to make him answer for his crimes! And he either eluded us or severely injured our troops that did catch him! The man is a monster with unreal strength and the luck of the devil on his side! Not to mention his curse which has unlimited range!"

"You forgot one important detail prince. We aren't you. Our captain despises taxes, the marines and being told something is impossible. We'll get a hold of Decken in no time."

"Yeap! You hear that Fishy? We'll make you free in no time!"

"F-Free?"

"Yeap! No more Dickens, no more axes! You can come and go as you please after!"

"I-I don't-"

"So Jaws are we getting the others?"

"Well if the princess is done and you don't have anything else to do then we could get back to the palace and gather the others."

"Hmmmmm. I got one thing on my mind, hold on."

And with that you leave the group behind so you can check out the late Queen Otohimes grave. It is certainly big, bigger than any you've seen before. Guess she was a very important person, or people liked her so much they wanted to give her a big place like this to rest.

>>4964228
>Gilgamesh: literally says fuck the gods I'm rad

I mean. It's not like carbon copies, they each have their extremes they go to that the other doesn't. But the sheer stubborn undeniable willpower to overcome any obstacle in their paths are the same.

Then again I am not as well versed in the entirety of classic literature as I could be so I don't know if there are better fits.

Gotta love the sheer brass balled confidence SIlver has.

>>4964268

They never thought to bring the Princess along to find where he was hiding. As we are not Weenies, we can catch him, and protect the princess. Well, we're going to kill him, but besides the point.

>>4964298
More like they don't have someone with a built in super-sonar and the single minded determination to literally scour the ocean floor because you upset his sense of morality

But it's not the thing they erected around it that interests you. It's the grave itself. The stone plaque with her name engraved on it echoes the sorrow and pain of all those people who were present during her burial. You hear King Neptune and his sons struggling with their tears as they are giving a speech about Otohime, the weeping of all those that she helped in her life or those who simply looked up to her and the rest who felt like the heart of the island perished on the day of her unfortunate death. But you don't hear Shirahoshis at all. So it is true that she couldn't attend her mothers funeral. Walking up to the big slab of stone you pat down on it.

"Hey Fishmom. I'm Silver. You don't know me but I heard about you. And I knew a granny who died from relief. I guess it doesn't matter too much to you now but I promise I'll make Fishy free. Okay?"

After throwing a cross, because the Bible says that's an appropriate thing to do in this situation you return to the others who are giving you a bunch of confused looks.
"Silver?"

"Sorry Jaws. Just wanted to pay respects. Anyway are we ready to go back?"

Jinbe ended up parting ways with you as he thought it'd be best if he did not show up at the palace. So you left him behind as you flew back to the Ryugu Palace. Along the way you were assaulted by a few of Deckens increasingly annoying weapons but you managed to deal with them easily. Even so as soon as you arrived you wasted no time getting Fishy back in her room because even you were starting to feel exhausted after all that. Regardless of that fact King Neptune is very impressed by your performance.
"You're back and in one piece! Oh you have no idea how relieved I am! Fukaboshi! How was it?"

"It was fine father. We managed to get there and sister could finally get everything off her chest. I haven't seen her that relieved in years."

"That does make me happy! And to think I wanted to kill you when I saw her with you! Please... do you have it in you to forgive an overprotective and foolish old man?"

"Don't worry about it Santa! I wasn't in any danger!"

But as you're talking with Neptune, Murray interjects.
"Well not to butt in or anything but I think you should save your gratitude for later King Neptune. Whether because we might anger you or because there might be more coming I'm not sure..."

"What do you mean?"

"We intend on doing you a favor by capturing the dreaded Vander Decken. For a price of course."

"Truly? But wait, that isn't as simple as you make it out to be-"

"We know. Which is why we might anger you. You see I got an idea on how to track him down. But it might be a bit... dangerous. We may require the assistance of your daughter. But it's ultimately up to the captain."

>You want to use Fishy as bait? Good idea!
>Why not just work together with the fishguys? They seem eager.
>No. We don't need any help.
>Other?

>>4964357
>No. We don't need any help.
Sound travels way better in water then air
Silver does sound, and observation Haki
Weapons splashing through ought to be possible to track, especially since he keeps chucking a few of them per hour and we know the end point (the hardshell tower).
I honestly know know if we would need to put Fishyhoshi in danger, just follow the murder-breadcrumbs to the party.

>>4964366
Supporting. Ultimately this is up to her. We're gonna gut the fucker either way, no fear of that, but it should be her choice on how involved with this she should be.

Well I guess asking Shirahoshi takes the cake
However I think I'll end things here for now. I'll try to return on Sunday again.
Anyway, have a good night!

>Marcy HAS to be the flower girl, non negotiable
>Hagetaka actually has to wear clothes

Unfortunately for everyone involved Silver isn't good at pretending and ends up thinking he's actually married and has no clue what it means.

He eventually gets beaten up by the girls and forcefully divorced. The good ending?

>>4965207
>Neither Silver nor Shirahoshi know what marriage really is, but she gets protective of the girls trying to smash and grab Silver anyways.

>>4965229
Shirahoshi kinda does in the "secluded little girl" kind of way.
She knows what it is by definition but no clue how it actually works.
At least that's my assumption based on her interactions with Decken and the fact that she's still a princess who should know stuff like that.
I mean it would be kinda dumb if a freak wanted to "marry" you and you never once ask people what the fuck that means

>>4965207
God this is horrifying

>>4965241
Shirahoshi is a cute giant weenie, she needs to be careful about being taken by Silver to lose her weenie status.
>God this is horrifying
It is beautiful, and the sight everyone sees moments before Fishman Island burns to the ground.

>>4965241
It gets better. Murray is the best man, Gu is the guy getting sloshed and Will is obviously the ring bearer. Greki is the flower girl

>>4965207
Meanwhile Marcella is chewing on her own tongue muttering about how "That little shit managed to find someone with tits bigger then he is!"

>>4965241
She did know enough to say Decken and everyone at the Reverie wasn't her type at least.

Well that was fun! I was praying I didn't drop out immediately. Ended up making it all the way to the quarter-finals of the losers bracket of a 14 men tourney.
There were 4 Pots, at least 3 Zatos, a Leo, a Ramlethal, a Nago, an Anji, a Faust, a Goldlewis and one Ky.

In more related news it looks like I'll be able to run a proper, lengthy session.
I hope you enjoy shark-fin soup

>>4966308
Hey good job Spooks! I'm always up for some more Silver mayem

>>4966308
I'm surprised by the amount of Pots and especially Zato's.
Anyways, looking forward to the run!

>>4966308
Congratulations, I think? This must be how Silver feels, with people randomly making up words in the middle of sentences.
Anyways, I'm always good for more shenanigans and good stories!

"You want to use my daughter as bait?! UNACCEPTABLE!"

"Good thing he doesn't know the rest of my plan-"
Jaws mumbles.
"I understand your frustration your highness. But she would not be bait but a compass leading us directly to Vander Deckens ship. It's risky, yes but if we succeed the princess would not be threatened by him anymore. Please think logically!"

"The safety of Shirahoshi is of utmost concern! You took her out of her tower, I accepted that. But now you would ask me to expose her to even more danger! You are out of your mind!"

Meanwhile you're just sorta sitting there with your arms behind your head. The two of them argue back and forth for a while with neither of them willing to budge even an inch. Their constant squabbling gets on your nerves so you decide to chime in.
"Why are you arguing? Shouldn't it be Fishy who decides?"

"Shirahoshi is only 14 years old! She's still a child so as her father the decision is mine to make!"

"So? I'm uuuuh. How old am I? I think we figured this out once. Can't be more than 16 though! So yeah! I'll go and ask her!"

"Wait human!"

But you don't. Instead you fly over most of the guards that might try to stop you and go to Shirahoshis tower and knock on its door. You hear a faint "Yes?" from inside and speak up.
"Hey Fishy! We're going to go find Dickens so he can't throw stuff at you anymore! Want to come?"

"M-Me?"

"Yeah! Jaws thinks you should come so we can find him easier. But I don't think we need it. Your dad meanwhile says you can't come. But I just want to know if you wanna."

"I-"
Shirahoshi stops for a few minutes to think for herself, humming so hard in the meantime that you can hear it through the thick steel door protecting her.
"I, I would like to come. If I can help then I want to do it. And I'd like to talk to Sir Decken about all of this. And if you'll be there I'll hopefully get the chance to do so."

"Sweet!"
You turn around grinning.
"See? Fishy said she wants to come! Now you can't stop her!"

"Wrong-jamon. Shirahoshi is not going anywhere without my say-so. That's final!"

"But father!"

As Shirahoshi cries her brother also steps up.
"Father. I'd like to join them as well. I want to see Vander Decken answer. Not just for his crimes but about his motives as well."

Neptune looks furious but now that even his son is stepping up to challenge him he seems to have given up struggling.
"Hnnnng fine! Shirahoshi is allowed to go with you-jamon. But on the condition that my sons are coming with you as well!"

>Okay.

>>4967318

I mean we're already un-weenie-ing their sister, might as well do the whole family.

Neptune's a stand up kinda guy, I dont mind giving him the group rate family package service.

"Okay fine! But I'm not defending them! If they gett their butts kicked that's on them for being weenies!"

"Hmph. Do not write us off so easily human. We have been training endlessly for the last ten years to not only serve and protact our country but for this very reason. If you find Decken for us you should just hang back and wait because we'll be done by the time you get to him."

"Oh? Is that a challenge?"

With that settled you get to work. The princes naturally rally their loyal ammo knights and their fancy-schmancy giant ships that are pulled by even bigger fishes. Needless to say they are pretty miffed about the fact that the Mermaid Princess won't be traveling with them but on your "cheap dinghy". Meanwhile you and the others move over to the Dauntless where they begin preparations and you explain everything that's happening right now to Daunty herself.
"So. Will you be okay going underwater again?"

"What did you say how old is this princess?"

"Fourteen."

"And how long has this pervert been after her?"

"Ten."

"Get me a coater and I'll sail after him into Hell!"

"Thanks!"

"Erm... Sir Silver. Who were you just talking to?"

"Oh... My pet crab. Wanna see him? Here. His name is Marauder. He eats seastone and has a hundred brothers!"

"Wow! So cute!"

You tell your pet crab to protect Fishy and Marauder gives you a little salute and a determined look with his eyes. And after all the preparations are done with you pick up your den-den mushi to start coordinating with the princes and their entourage.
"Alright human. We are ready to depart. Lead the way and we'll follow you."

"Okay. But if you can't keep up we're leaving you."

Both ships leave port through the big gate on the bubble and you begin your little manhunt by constantly competing over who has the biggest wiener in the group. Naturally they have quite the advantage being fishmen and all but they clearly underestimated Dauntless and her speed. But after a few solid minutes of dicking around you get slapped on the head that you really should start taking things a bit more seriously.

"Okay. Time to find ourselves a dead man!"

Shockingly for a while nothing really happens. No new weapons fly your way and thus you have no clue where to go. Makes sense, given how no matter how well you stack up you'll eventually run out of stuff to throw. But it appears that this was just a temporary set-up and after a few minutes of nothing they do start coming in. After catching the first one you turn to Jaws.

"So how does that power work? Anything he throws flies towards Fishy?"

"Yes."

"In a straight line?"

"I'd assume so. Unless something is in the way in which case it moves around it if possible."

"Good. It should be in that direction then."

Closing your eyes you enter a state of intense mental focus. One by one all your other senses turn off. The scent of the sea around you disappears, as does the taste of your own mouth and even the sensation of touch. In turn however your ears become honed to a point you've never seen before. Despite loosing everything else you've never been more aware of your surroundings. The presence of everything around you be it men, fish-men, fish or anything else is revealed. Even the smallest details like the sound their blood makes as it flows around their veins or the molten rock and gases flowing around in small cracks deep beneath the sea floor are clearly perceptible.

"Another weapon is coming."

"WHAT?! WHERE?"

"It won't be here for another five minutes. But now I know which direction it's coming from. Jaws, steer the ship to the right. Their ship must be beyond that mountain range."

"Aye aye. Prince Fukaboshi. Tell your men to follow us closely! This will be a bumpy ride. We're going in the trenches!"

It's a good thing that Murray knows the sea. Not only do you have to navigate around the various rock formations but the dangers of the various underwater currents are ever-present. But with your guidance and his helmsman skills you easily navigate through all the dangers be they falling rocks, erupting volcanoes or great beasts lurking in the shadows. In fact for the three princes and their men it appears as if you have the devils own luck guiding you towards your goal which manages to unnerve them to no end.

In the end you manage to sail through the trenches carved in the underwater mountains and when you pop out on the other side the ship you're looking for becomes visible to you.
"The Flying Dutchman... we found it!"

"Wait! The fucking Dutchman! You mean it's REAL?!"

"Well, real in the sense that this ship bears that name Marcy. It's not the one from the stories. I think. But it's still a legendary pirate ship. It dates back to the time of the first Vander Decken. This relic was passed down from one Decken to another for hundreds of years."

"Well shit. That's a huge sumbitch. This may not be as easy as we thought."

As your crewmembers are talking among themselves your den-den mushi fires up.
"Finally! The Dutchman is in sight! Charge men! Charge! Don't let it escape our clutches!"

Fukaboshi and his brothers are urging their men to speed up. Meanwhile you're busy looking at the Dutchman itself with your ears. It's not alone. It's not visible from here but there are at least two bodies even bigger than the ship itself near it. And in addition to that it doesn't look like the pirates noticed you yet.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ON2EWpHLnlw

"Bahohohoho! Oh how painful this is! How long have I been waiting for it?"

"Hmmmm. For about ten years or so Captain!"

"Yes. It's all because of that hateful Neptune. But my long wait will soon be over! My darling Shirahoshi finally responded to me! She sent back this axe, the declaration of my love! Oh how painful this is! Now that it's so close being separated from my Shirahoshi is even more painful! BECAUSE WE LOVE EACH OTHER, I PRESUME! Princess Shirahoshi I love you! I love you! I love you! No matter how much I roam the vast seafloor I can't find anyone as big and beautiful as you are! Your destiny was always death or marriage! But now that you chose it's time for you to come to me! But even if you must wait please accept this axe with a rose painted on it as proof of my love, as always!"

Even though he's several kilometers away you can still make out what he said perfectly. And it serves as perfect fuel for when the axe he just threw reaches your ship. You catch it in your palm but the edge of the weapon manages to cut your skin up very well, it most definitely reached bone. You look at the axe, at Fukaboshis ship and then at the Flying Dutchman itself.

>"Fish-bro. He hasn't noticed us yet. Stop."

"Fukaboshi-"

"Did Silver just-"
"What?"
Angel and Toxin both look shocked as you call out the prince.

"-they haven't noticed us yet. Stop."

"That's the point! If we catch them by surprise we'll subdue them instantly! Don't interfere human!"

"You won't do that."
The fish carrying the ship of the mer- and fish-men stops abruptly and refuses to move even to the most forceful of commands.
"There are two giant things with them. One is an angler fish. The other I don't know."

"Does it sound the same as the fish we met earlier?"

"No Ann. Not the same but similar. The other is not familiar."

Murray steps up and starts stretching his limbs as if preparing for an exercise.
"I have a suspicion what the other one is. I can take care of it. But I'm going to need help. Gu how well does your Hasshoken work underwater?"

"Water is a much better medium for vibrations to travel through."

"Then you're coming with me. Better take a bubble coral. The pressure would crush you like a walnut otherwise."

"Tch. I bet I could withstand it for five seconds!"

The two of them jump out into the water and you turn the Dauntless towards Fukaboshis ship. As you get closer you tell the mermen that they can stay back or get on your own ship if they want to fight since yours is colored black and won't be visible from a mile away. They begrudgingly accept since they don't have much of a choice. After they obey you steer your ship towards the Flying Dutchman in order to board it. Upon getting within range the two giants become clearly visible for everyone. As you predicted the smaller of them is a giant angler fish, like the one you saw before. The other, which is several times its size is a gigantic fish-man holding it on a leash as if it as a dog. Gu and Murray swim up to them and kick the fish-man in the gut prompting it to cry out in pain and release the yoke of the beast.

As the angler fish is let loose it begins attacking your friends which catches the attention of those on the ship, giving you the opening you need to got on. Using the giant harpoon and the artificial jaw of the Dauntless you latch onto the Flying Dutchman like some sort of a parasite and board their ship while everyone is panicking.
"What's wrong Wadatsumi? We're under attack, I presume?"

"I don't know captain Decken! Ankoro! Light up the place!"
The orb of the angler fish lights up and illuminates the surrounding area.
"Huh? Who are you guys?"

"A tiger blowfish? So you're the "Giant Monk" people are talking about. Interesting!"
Murray grins.

>>4967511
Real shit

The wobbling and rumbling of the ship naturally alerted the pirates and they are already scrambling by the sound of it.
"Captain! We're under attack!"

"I know you fools! Quick Wadatsumi! Dispatch these two! We need to get out of here, I presume!"

As Decken is giving orders to his giant your hands pop out from under the floorboards and drag the poor sap that you managed to grasp down into the dark where he gets beaten up rather fast. You decide to blow a big hole into the deck so you could safely jump through it without having to risk your personal bubble since the ship doesn't have a coating despite the captain being a devil fruit user. Sure enough as you jump onto the deck from the lower floor you see a bunch of fish-men wielding swords and guns whilst there is one fish-man who's seemingly unarmed but has a bubble not unlike you.
"Decken."

"Whaaaaat? Who are you? And how dare you destroy my home like that? This ship is a precious family heirloom! You're going to pay for the restorations I presume!"
Fights start breaking out between the ammo knights and Deckens Flying Pirates with your people leading the charge. Meanwhile Fukaboshi, Ryuboshi and Manboshi are all lining up next to you but it doesn't look like they intend to stay there as they start to advance slowly.
"Ah esteemed brothers! It's so good to finally meet you! To what do I owe this pleasure? Is this all an elaborate bachelor party? Or has father finally come around and accepted my love with dear Shirahoshi!"

"Shut up you monster! You have no idea what kind of pain you caused to our family!"

"That's right! We've come to put an end to your madness Vander Decken!"

"If you put down your arms and surrender we promise you'll be judged fairly. But secretly we hope you'll resist."
Ryuboshi, Manboshi and Fukaboshi are approaching Decken who doesn't seem at all threatened by them.

"Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. And here I presumed you all came to your senses after these ten long years! Ah well. I wouldn't want to hurt my beloved wife so I'll dispose of you quickly and painlessly! Bahohohohoho!"

>Stand back and watch them duke it out

"Decken-"

"Hmmmm? You? Ah yes, you! Who are you again? You're the valet I presume with that ridiculous suit of yours!"

"Before you get carried away there is someone else that came to see you. They should get a chance to talk before I'm through with you."

"Huh? You don't seem to understand how pirates do things boy. If there is something to say, you have to use violence. I presume!"

"Well said. But I'll gladly wait my turn."

Ann and Will come up and start covering for Shirahoshi who's unfortunately too big to enter the ship so she has to float up outside. As soon as they see her most pirates pause their fighting to marvel at her appearance which the knights don't really make use of to spare Shirahoshi the sight. However none are more affected by her than Decken himself whose eyes turn into big hearts and he begins salivating at her.

"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH! SHIRAHOSHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII! SHE'S EVEN MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN I EVER IMAGINED! This is truly the greatest day of my LIFE I presume! So it's all true! Finally my dreams have come true! Tell me! After all these years, what's your answer? Yes? No? Will you accept me in marriage and become my wife? Or will you reject my true love?"

"I... Um..."

"What do you wanna say? Yes? I BET IT'S A YES!"

"Y... You're not my type!"

"Eh... What?"
Decken pauses for a moment and then begins screaming as his heart shatters to pieces.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Even his men, the ammo knights and the three princes stare at this in disbelief.
"WHAAAAAT? THAT'S YOUR REASON?!"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQQ6bogi6gQ

Decken is still reeling back from the shock but as he clenches his fist it becomes apparent that he managed to figure out his own emotions.
"Why you... You've been leading me on for TEN YEARS! Who the hell are you planning to marry you harlot?"

"You bastard! You've been tormenting our sister for a decade and you talk about her rejecting you? Are you mad?"

"It's true that I initially wanted to marry her for personal gain! But the love that blossomed between us in the meantime was true! But now? But now! But now you're betraying all that?! Fine! The question was always Death or Marriage! If you won't be mine I'd rather see you dead than in anyone else's arms! Die and live on in my memory as perfect as you are now SHIRAHOSHI!"

Decken then pulls out an axe several times his own size from under his coat and prepares to throw it.
"DIE!"

"We won't let you-"
The three brothers charge to intercept the pirates attack but in their righteous fury they missed a crucial detail. Decken is holding an object several times his size and weight with one hand, without the aid of water or his devil fruit. He's strong.

"Don't get in my way brothers or I'll be forced to kill you as well!"
With one swing he manages to swat the three mermen away, weapons and all.
"Take this Shirahoshi! My final... Declaration of Love!"
He hurls the big thing at Fishy and you see her getting scared so you jump in front of her and block the flying weapon with your sword. With a successful parry you strip the weapon of all its momentum and it falls to the ground dead. Decken doesn't really appreciate this.
"What? Who are you? And how could you do this? Why can't you just let me have this?!"

"Come on captain, cheer up! Things can only get better from here."

"You stupid fools! I don't want you comforting me! Do you have any idea how it feels to be rejected when you reach out to someone?!"

Shirahoshi then speaks up again.
"But you're just not my type!"

"You're just not my type.
Upon hearing her say this
I realized my feelings... I presume."
(Haiku with too many syllables by Vander Decken IX)

"My love is unrequited! I'll kill you where you stand Shirahoshi! And I'll slaughter all who would stand in my way! Starting with that pathetic human protecting you!"
Decken draws two more normal sized axes which he intends to use against you.

>Try to make his bubble burst from range
>Charge him before he has a chance to attack
>Let him come at you. Shirahoshi needs to be protected
>Other?

>>4967628
>Other?

>Cut off his momentum at the knees. With Parley.

>>4967628
CHARGE!!!

>>4967628
>Let him come at you. Shirahoshi needs to be protected
>Act like we're going to fight him in melee, then use parley to burst his bubble when he gets close

The great thing about parley's length is that we can just stick the end way outside our bubble.

So I'm worried that if we give him any room he's gonna keep chucking stuff at Fishyhoshi, and that's bad... So 'lets keep those hands busy, shall we? Tho I almost expect this to be a "bring the whole crew" fight cause Decken be dangerous
