Look upon our prettyboy protagonist. Look upon his devilish smile and despair.In last thread’s episode of FLASHMAN, QUEEN OF THE DESERT, our hero who the fuck cares, it’s Alabasta, Alabasta! Get a new crocodile-skin sheathe for your swords, go go go!We, uh, now return you to your scheduled idiocy.
>field trip with papaSmoRainbase is pretty damn big. Also: full of sand. And hot. Considering you and Smoboss had to ride in a (fairly nice) coach to get here from the docked ship, the heat punches you in the face as soon as you exit.“Let’s get a cold drink, first,” you suggest.“Shut up, brat,” Smoboss growls, a coil of smoke grabbing you by the shoulders and yanking you along. “The sooner we talk to that pirate trash, the sooner we can leave.”“Is he still technically a pirate?” You let yourself be dragged through the city anyway, off to Rain Dinners (dumb name), which is Sir Crocodile’s own casino/restaurant/fancy-rich-person-place.The guard dude at the door is happy to direct you and a fuming Smoboss in - apparently Bogart called ahead - and directs you both to the VIP room. With free drinks offered! Score!>Hell yeah, something fruity and alcoholic!>Tea, you’re a mature professional right now.>Ice water is fine!>Other?
>>3433673>>Ice water is fine!We've dealt with enough pirates while drunk to last a lifetime
>>3433673>Are this drinks drugged? They are probably drugged.
>>3433673>Ice water is fine!No getting drunk on the job. While Smoker can see us at least.
>>3433673>>Ice water is fine!I'd drink nothing, but that feels like being too paranoid.
>>3433673>>Ice water is fine!
>>3433683+>Something bottled please!
>>3433673>>Hell yeah, something fruity and alcoholic!For good luck, we did capture 2 strawhats while on hangover.
>>3433673>Hell yeah, something fruity and alcoholic!>>3433652>>3433656He has that dumb gay male stripper "shirt" with that stupid backside. Any appeal he might have plummets beyond the negatives.
>water is not a beverage“Just let me do all the talking,” Smoboss says, as you enter the VIP room. As expected - it’s ostentatious. Not quite tasteful, not quite tacky. Your eyes flick across all the gold... actually, yeah, kinda tacky.You nod anyway, keeping quiet already, and settle down on the (soft!) couch to drink your water. Smoboss stands, having turned down a drink. Being a Smoke logia, you suspect he probably has less need of hydration than most. Or maybe he just thought he’d end up throwing it in the Shichibukai’s face?... Nah, he’d just punch him.Apparently it’ll take a few minutes before Sir Crocodile arrives.>Say/do anything while you wait?Heading out, update in a while.

I'm guessing lil' Klaus here was the one who taught them?>Flashman: what?>Tashigi: what?!>Smoker:....can you explain what you mean sir?>Garp: Well yeah, metal cutting is a part of Armament, and they can both do it. >Klaus: IT IS?! I mean I totally knew that>Smoker: Bullshit>Garp: Well done foatering the next generation you two, makes this old marine happy as hell to see the corp will be left in good hands!>Smoker just pulls out and starts smoking the whole cigar box

Rolled 98 (1d100)>taking pictures like a Chinese tourist(Also, because I've been going through the character sheet: +1 Jitte due to background train by with Smoboss. +1 General Fitness.)In an attempt not to fidget like a raging work, you end up pulling your new camera out and going through it again. Smoboss' eyes turn to watch you for a few seconds as you take a few pictures and check he results, but then goes back to checking the rest of the room.What he probably doesn't know is that you're also using Observation.You can't pinpoint any specific guards around- the whole casino is a giant haze of high emotions, excitement and despair, interest and boredom, all mingling together. Too many people packed into one place within your range.Smoboss is easier to pinpoint, because he's close, you're alone with him, and you're used to him. He feels... on edge. Frustrated. Annoyed.... Pretty normal.And... you feel SOMEONE approaching. You can even pick it out, like... even though their emotions aren't that strong (casual interest, amusement, anticipation), they're somehow still noticeable. Crocodile?And... down below, on some floor beneath you, there are oddly simple emotions. Boredom. Hunger. A strange, sharp alertness.Rain Dinners is weird.You open your mouth to tell Smoboss about your findings, when a door pushes open, and the interest-amusement-anticipation dude walks in.Yup. Sir Crocodile, looking confident, smug, and tall. Why is everyone so tall, dammit?!... Smoboss' emotions turn to disgust; and Sir Crocodile sweeps a laconic smile over the two of you."Captain Smoker! And...?">Stay quiet.>"Ensign Flashman, sir." It's just a brief politeness, it'd cause more trouble not to speak.>"Ensign Flashman, Photography Department!"

>>3433919Unless the higher the number the higher the effect
>>3433889>>"Ensign Flashman, Photography Department!" Nice and friendly, totally unsuspicious!Seeing as we noticed it's drugged, then if there's anything left in the glass after we've had a drink I feel like we should throw it in his face.Pretty sure it'd end badly, but still want.
Honestly wondering how viable a plan it is to just turn to Smoker and tell him the drinks were drugged
>>3433940We know our bureaucracy, if that would be enough of a reason to arrest him i would say lets go for it
>>3433960Poisoning a Marine Officer sounds like a big crime, but maybe not enough of one to arrest him. It should be enough of one to get Smoker pissed and that might be enough reason for Croc to be put down.
>the water is a lieYou need to be polite. And unsuspicious. "Ensign Flashman, Photog-"You pause.Frown.The edges of your vision... blur a little. Wavering.Heavy dread thunks into your stomach, as you lift your half-empty glass to stare at it. Then at Crocodile, who watches you with a smug-ass smirk and hooded eyes.Against your will, you feel your grip loosen slightly on the glass, and Smoboss... suddenly feels like FURY PANIC RAGE."What the fuck did you do?!"You blink, and your vision is blurred not by whatever you drank, but by a thick cloud of smoke wreathing you, Smoboss just about visible, jitte drawn.You dropped the glass at some point, too.Aw, fuck.This ain't good.(Physical rolls reduced by about 30%!)"Really, Captain? Do you truly think I'm ill-informed enough not to know what you Government dogs plan?" Wow. What a dick.

>sneaky sneakyYou still your movements, letting yourself slowly slump a little, eyes closing until you're just looking through cracks.You feel... kind of numb. A bit dizzy. Sound and light seem lesser, somehow, with occasional distortions. And you could really do with a nap.But fuck all of that.It turns out that Sir Crocodile is a goddamn monologuer."My Unluckys already found out Igaram's aboard your ship," Crocasshole brags like the raging dickweasel he is (and what's an Unlucky, anyway?). "He has a big mouth to go with such a small brain."You can't see Smoboss' face, but you can feel him seethe. "Then you know that you're under arrest for more than just poisoning my Ensign."SMUG SMUG SMUG drives through the air. "You should have had a drink as well, mutt. It'll end up the same way, but at least it wouldn't hurt so badly for you."Through the whirling smoke and your nearly-closed eyelids, you can faintly see Smoboss' hands tighten on his jitte. "So you're not going to surrender.""Surrender? But it's the Strawhats who killed you, Captain. That's what the Vice-Admiral will hear.">Keep faking.>Do something? (What?)

Oh well, good enough!>video killed the shichibukai star or somethingNo-one sees your hand carefully reaching for your new camera, through the smoke and their own focus. No-one sees your fingers tap-tapping through to the video option, or gently pushing it off your lap and onto the couch, camera angled at Sir Cock-adile.Who continues to shoot his mouth off. Like, seriously. As useful as that is for you, what's with all the drama? Why don't people just try to kill their enemies? Are they stupid?"He'll never believe the Strawhats could do that," Smoboss snaps, disgust rising in your senses. "How stupid do you thi- okay, he's an idiot, but he's not THAT dumb."You kind of want to puke. Is that the stuff you were given, or just the mention of Garp?"Agree to disagree." Ugh. He's just a walking pile of smirk and hair gel. "With you and your Ensign dead, and a little evidence pointing towards the Strawhats, I think they'll be rather more bumped up in Garp's priorities. Baroque Works will finish everything without Marine interference - especially yours, Captain."And then he erupts into a goddamn sandstorm, followed by Smoboss becoming a flurry of pure white.>Yeah, no, you don't belong here. Try and get towards the door so you can escape and get backup.>Keep faking unconsciousness, maybe Crocodile will turn human again...?>Sneak the camera away in case the asshole notices it or it gets damaged.

>>3434141>Sneak the camera away in case the asshole notices it or it gets damaged. You've recorded enough.I don't think it's enough at all, the line by itself is somewhat incriminating but it's really the fact that Crocodile attacks us that makes it good. As long as we got the start of the battle, then it should be enough proof that Crocodile tried to kill us and frame the Strawhats. Not that the WG's gonna do jack shit with it anyway.
>camera: SAFIFIEDYeeeep, that's at least enough to prove Sir Crock-of-dicks is up to shady business and attacked first. You flick the camera off, and manage to shove it away on your jacket while he and Smoboss are busy having a completely useless battle around the room.Seriously. Smoboss has a seastone-tipped jitte - and you remember with frustration that your seastone cuffs are still around Roronoa's wrists, he's fucked you over AGAIN - but against another Logia? Crocodile simply swirls around the weapon any time it looks close to touching him.The sand, though... there seems to be more of it than the smoke. And it moves faster. And - there's a bunch of it coming right at you.>Keep faking unconsciousness!>FUCK THAT, TRY TO RUN FOR THE DOOR>NOPE NOPE NOPE TRY TO RUN FOR SMOBOSS>Other?

>>3434225Uh... You don't ICly know that liquids are a weakness, so conveniently directing it at him is somewhat... stretching it.
>>3434252I think the idea is just vomit, yet Croc is coming right for us so he gets hit.
>>3434252You say Flashman couldn't make connection that dude using desert sand powers would be weak to water?>>3434011Also was advocating for throwing up quite early. And after being drugged/poisoned emping contents of your stomach sounds quite reasonable.
>>3434266QM is specifically talking about throwing up directly at Crocodile. It makes sense to throw up to try and get rid of the drug. Doesn't make sense to aim at Crocodile. How exactly would connecting sand to water relate in connecting sand to vomit?
>>3434262Hm, well, if you roll well enough I guess.>PROJECTILE ATTACK: SUPREME GIGA VOMIT>Roll 1d100 for speed, best of 345 DC to make yourself throw up, 70 DC to properly hit him>>3434266It was a good idea earlier on to purge yourself, but kind of late by now. Still might work with Croc, even a low success will mean you dodge the first rush.

>>3434330...You know, I wouldn't even be mad about having a fruit like that, that sounds like a really nasty Logia to go against.

>>3434308>>adamjensen.jpgI never asked for this...
>>3434332Yeah it sounds like it could be incredibly destructive for a fruit.Also any non haki attacks would get destroyed.
>>3434333>>commits sudoku
Okay, seriously, guys.Acid Acid Fruit (NOT vomit).Any interest? Or is this just idle conversation?
>>3434337Guestion is, how would it comprare to Magellan's Poison Fruit's corrosive properties?
>>3434333In all seriousness you don't have to give us a Puke Puke fruit. We'll just have to mock you even more after this.Really, you'd think you'd have learnt your lesson after the mermaid.
>>3434342Sounds pretty cool.Also the prospect of Smokers boat having three Logias is god damn hilarious.
>>3434342In the future. Yes. I still don't see Flashman being interested in Fruit at the moment.
>>3434342If we ever did find a fruit I'd want it to be truly random, like make a list of 100 and roll on it
>>3434345Yeah, but the idea of an Acid Acid Fruit sounds pretty cool, even if you gave it to someone else.And seriously, what the fuck is up with this quest and rolls?! Seriously? The Fuck?
>>3434337I forgot, does Armament Haki prevent the effects of a fruit from affecting you? As in, would the acid still melt an Armament-infused weapon? Or fist?>>3434342Definitely pretty interested. Should be a possibility at the very least.>>3434344To compensate for being more specific it should be significantly more effective, I think.
>>3434352I’d dig an acid logia, that’s cool as fuck. But no puke. That’s just gross.
>>3434342No. Please, no.
>>3434342I'm personally not too picky on what kinda fruit we'd have if only because I'm in the minority in wanting a Zoan type if Anons would agree to eating one.
>>3434342Sounds neat but unless it's something like the Rumble Rumble Fruit or the Admiral/Yonko fruits somehow, I'm not really interested.
>>3434346Blood Logia AND Acid Logia on the same crew? ... Poor pirates.
>>3434344Well Magellan is a paramecia, so he can't turn into poison.Also actual acid would probably be even more corrosive than his poison, where acidity is more a side effect.
>>3434308>>3434352I'm fekking dying here.Qm, this is the main thread. you can't let yourself be tempted, because the dice gods look closely on this oneOn the topic of the fruit...On one hand it's pretty cool being able to turn into ACID.On the other I kinda like fruitless protag.Ironic that the guy fixated with weapons could get the fruit to melt thingsAt least it's not the Rust one.
>>3434359Also everyone of these would be second to a certain fruit. Daddy's fruit.
>>3434368>Flashman gets serious>calls a timeout while he puts his weapons in a safe place so he can use his fruit properlyI love it.
>>3434342I'm fine with it, as long as Flashy doesn't have it. Still looking for either Bag of Holding no Mi or otherwise fruitless.
>>3434354I think Armament would negate you turning into Acid if it struck you.Idk what happens if you start lobbing acid around.
>>3434374We would be carrying all of our weapons in special sack, that would be resilient to acid.I'm liking idea of this fruit more and more

You wake up to the White Mist's medbay, and thus the delightful smell of antiseptic.Well. Better than the smell of puke, you guess. The inside of your mouth tastes better - did the doc flush it with water or somehing? You doubt any of the drug remained in your mouth, but still.You can see things properly. Hear properly. Don't feel weird, or off-balance, or like you need to vomit again.Yeah. You think you... might be okay?(Drugs effects removed! Physical rolls back to normal!)You manage to force yourself to sit up, easily catching the attention of the ship's surgeon, who rushes over to check a host of bodily measurements, and fill you in on what you've missed.Which... turns out to be quite a bit.After Smoboss escaped with you, Crocodile called Garp to report he'd been brutally attacked by Smoker, which would have caused a shit-ton of official problems if Smoboss hadn't taken a gamble on you messing with your camera beforehand, and wanted them to check your camera.So. You apparently prevented Smoboss getting investigated. That's nice. Especially because that and his description of events was enough to cause the Marines to gear up, kick a hornet nest, and BRUTALLY STOMP IT INTO THE GROUND.Not an hour after you'd arrived back here, reports of the Strawhats came in. Not in Rainbase at all, but making contact with the local rebellion (as expected of Revolutionaries).That was about the same time that the Marines headed out, loaded for Crocodile, because that was how long it took for Garp to get a call back from HQ regarding the official rescinding of Crocodile's Shichibukai title.And now, three hours after you got back here, the fighting is still ongoing. From what chaotic reports are surfacing, most of the rebellion is now firmly on the King's side and aware that Croocdile is Baroque Works' boss (What? Well, that's suddenly less surprising...), the Strawhats have taken down at least a few of the Agents and are running around looking for the rest, Firefist Ace has vanished completely, and no-one's entirely sure where Crocodile had gone, but if he has any brains, it's 'as far away from Garp as possible'.... Although from how the doc comments on Smoboss' mood, you'd take your chances with Garp rather than him.Oh. And you're forbidden from leaving the ship.>What do???>>3434493You'll have to lose an eye to find out! (He'd have given you a pretty pink eyepatch with a flower embroidered on it, if you didn't seem too distraught.)And what a surprise, Pinky and Chin hearing the Strawhats planning to go to Rainbase was totally wrong! No doubt the Strawhats detected them and fed them false information. They definitely wouldn't use some kind of friend in the Marines to misdirect you away from them and towards Crocodile, no way.
I just realized there's a chance we could recruit Nico Robin. I don't think the government even knows she exists so it's possible. Though that would depend on how things play out. It's not likely but there's a small chance so that's neat.

We could get some more answers to questions like: what the hell's the situation between us and the Strawhats now?

Calling for stay on the shiiiiiiip.
In this universe, Smoker actually represents an actual threat to be taken seriously. Managing a draw/retreat with the arc villain is serious business.Also the vomit thing is actually a perfect foreshadow. Shame that Crocs plans have been destroyed wholly by marine swarm otherwise this would've been a better canon setup for the Story than actual canon.
>>3434637Confirmed: qm has more story-sense than Oda.not that it is a particularly difficult achievment
>no place like homeA few (or more) questions gain you more information.Tashigi, Fop, Igaram and Klaus are out fighting as well (Klaus kind of surprises you, but oh well - maybe Garp threatened him?), Mina and Yu are also restricted to staying on board, and the doc has no idea who you mean by Sunglasses and Hat.As for the Strawhats... it's hardly an alliance, but seeing as they're currently some kind of allies with the ex-rebellion and the Royal troops, all of which are now in the fight against Baroque Works... they've been carefully placed far down the list of priorities.You get the general idea that the Marines have decided to politely and unofficially ignore their existence until Baroque Works is dealt with.... Man, the world is weird.On the bright side, it seems that you were drugged rather than poisoned - probably in case you were more useful as a hostage than a corpse - and it's now gone from your system, with no lasting harm.All in all... not a bad show for puking on a Shichibukai.Heh.Shichi-puke-ai.You grab your weapons - no camera, probably taken for the evidence - and head out.>Go talk to Mina/Yu?>Go see Roronoa?>Get some fresh air on deck.>Other?

The pair of them look delighted, especially when you deign to give them both high-fives."Prisoner behaving himself?" You kind of hope he needed a punch in the face at some point."Uh - Yeah, he... He's been pretty quiet," Hat says, sounding a little nervous. You're not surprised, Roronoa's a pretty intimidating guy for someone like him to guard. "Are you sure you're feeling okay, aniki? Maybe you should go rest for a while longer?""Nah, I'm good! Gonna have a word with him, see if he knows anything useful.

"Then I guess I have no reason to come over there and let you take them off, do I?" That fucking smirk reappears. "Unless you wanna come in here and take 'em by force?">You're damn right I will!>...

>>3436358>How about new cuffs, but in front of you?
>>3436358>Forget the cuffsHahahaha no way are we letting him come into sword grabbing distance. And cuffing his hands in the front is risky when he can use swords with his teeth - hands in front gives him more mobility. Pretty sure SMOBOSS either has his own pair (logia captain) or can meet up with Sis and use hers
>>3436358>>3436361Its diplomacy!>How about new cuffs, but in front of you?>when applying new cuffs, do it in such way that his hands are on different sides of a bar, having him not only have his hands cuffed, but also being cuffed to the cell barsHe still would have his hands cuffed in front of him tho, so no word breaking! A precaution, if hes busted out they would have to bust him with entire jail wall. I would like to see them try THAT!
>>3436358"Then no different cuffs for you!"
>>3436358>Forget itGive these filthy pirates an inch and they'll take a mile.
>>3436358>We just shared a moment, and lo and behold you ruin it. >Congratulations lolonoa, you suck even more now.
>>3436375>when applying new cuffs, do it in such way that his hands are on different sides of a bar, having him not only have his hands cuffed, but also being cuffed to the cell barsSo he's cuffed around the bars? That's just lovely. I can just imagine FLashy doing this and walking away with the most annoying sounding "nyeheehehhehehe" laugh.
So you guys want him to put each hand through the bars so you can take them off, but you're replacing them with regular cuffs, so that he's now cuffed around the bars as well? Is that right?>Yarp>Narp

>you activated and then countered my trap card... impressive..."How about you have them cuffed in front of you?"Negotiation! Diplomacy! The power of speech!It convinces Roronoa at least, who considers and then slowly nods. "All right. At least I can exercise easier that way."You step back, hands reaching for your weapons. "Great! Hold on a minute."Cut-chan, Ka-tan, your as yet unconfirmed-name rapier. Jitte-san, Pistol-chan, the twins. Each one of them, you remove and place carefully on the opposite wall, far out of Roronoa's potential reach, while he slowly raises an eyebrow and widens his grin as you divest yourself.(Negated chance of Roronoa grabbing weapon! Gained Roronoa's interest! Lolonoa Zolo will remember this~)"Okay!" Now unarmed, you proudly hold up the seastone cuff key, and a pair of regular cuffs. "Turn around and put a hand through the bars.""... You remember these are going in FRONT of me, right?""Yes, obviously. I'll take it off, put the regular cuff on, then you can turn around and put your hand back through, and we'll do the other hand."Roronoa hums thoughtfully, but shrugs as he turns around and backs up against the bars, shoving one hand through. You can see by the calluses on his hands that he takes sword training as seriously as he takes hostages.You unlock the seastone cuff, without a hint of trouble from the prisoner, and then click the new cuff around his wrist. "Okay. Now the other hand!"Roronoa... steps away from the cell door, over by the wall. Turns to you. And stretches his arms, one with a seastone pair of cuffs dangling from it, the other with a regular pair. "Mmm... nah."He grins.>....... GIVE ME THOSE FUCKING CUFFS YOU ASSHOLE>Roronoa. I swear to the sea-gods, I WILL EAT THESE KEYS>Stick your hands back through or I'll shoot you, asshat.>Other?>>3436425#I was trying to make it sound like it didn't matter... :<

That jerk!You purse your lips and calm yourself. Stay cool, Harry. In a desert country, one must be chill."... ~Please~ the other hand?"Roronoa actually look surprised for a second, pausing in his blatantly teasing stretches, before the grin shrinks to mere amusement. "Really? You think saying please helps?""Well." You try not to shrink in on yourself. "It's worth a shot?""Heh. I guess so." He watches you for a moment, before looking at his wrists. "You know what? Go for it. Give you something to look back on when I escape."What the fuuuuuuck.You try to figure out what the hell's going on as Roronoa steps back over, grasping the unclosed-cuff of the regular metal ones in the seastone-cuffed hand, and shoving it casually through the bars."There. You can take off the seastone one and attach the regular one in one go. Happy?"Not really, because it means he'll be cuffed behind the bars instead of around them, but it's better than not getting your damn cuffs back, you guess.Scowling, you attach the metal cuff and then unlock the seastone one as quickly as possible, keeping a wary eye on his other hand.Amazingly, he doesn't try anything. You're not sure if you're relieved or more worried, when he steps back again, giving the cuffs a casual, testing tug.>... Okay, why the hell did you let me do that?>You're a total dick, you know that?>You're not going to escape. I hope you understand that.>... Thanks. Asshole.>Other?It was pretty damn obvious you were planning on locking him around the bars, Zoro would have expected that from any Marine. So sorry guys, you weren't gonna trick him into that one.

>manners maketh marine part ii... well."Thanks." You turn away to grab your weapons again. "Asshole." Just to make it clear that he's still a massive jerk. A hostage-taking, pirate jerk. And a cuffed one."No problem," Roronoa says, all casual, like he couldn't have just hung around the cell with your seastone cuffs like an even jerkier jerk. "You think I could get a beer before my rescue party shows up?"You scoff. "Your crew's running around Alubarna right now, with a bunch of ex-rebels, beating up Baroque Works agents. They don't have time for you now, and assuming they're alive when it's over, Smoboss or Garp will arrest them.""... So you're saying I do have time for a beer?""I'M NOT GIVING YOU BEER!"Roronoa yawns, slumping slightly. "The service here is shit.">Give up and leave>"WE'RE NOT A HOTEL, YOU DICK!!">"You'll get worse in Impel Down, you - you lichen-head!">Other?.... Okay, honestly surprised by only one person asking wtf. You guys have any opinions on why Flashy thinks Lolonoa did it? Or why you guys think he did it? Or is this just a Mystery Pirate Action?

>>3436548Maybe he actually feels guilty about taking us hostage? Or he just wanted the seastone cuffs off, and was beinga dick about it.
>>3436566Probably both, but I don't think he feels THAT guilty about it. Maybe just a little tiny bit.

Delicious.Roronoa watches you. "... If they're both a negative, don't they cancel each other out, so I SHOULD get a beer?"SHIT. He can do math!Fortunately, you're saved by the door to outside opening, the stairs creaking faintly as someone steps down onto them. "Ensign Flashman?"Huh.

>this is now disguise quest"Problem, soldier?" You glance over at the infantryman, who snaps into a crisp parade rest."Sir! Vice-Admiral Garp has sent orders for the prisoner to be transferred to his own ship, in case of a rescue attempt. You've been ordered to do so immediately, sir."Uggggghhhhhh, seriously? Well, not that it isn't great to get him off your ship, but still.You sigh, placing your hands on your hips. "For crying out loud... all right, let's get this done."Well, at least you don't need to put the seastone cuffs back on, seeing as he's not a Devil Fruit user.>Operation: transfer the prisoner over to Garp's ship! What do???(Okay, you ICly have NO reason to suspect this Marine is Abs, so please don't metagame. His fake moustache is incredible. Tashigi may want to get disguise advice from him. Aside from that, go with what seems most sensible/funny/whatever.)>>3436637While you have zero reason to ICly test him on it, I'd probably make him brilliant at it just for how funny it would be.>>3436642...

>>3436660>>3436664Brilliant idea. Maybe we should do a double cuff though, since we made a big deal about preventing him from stealing any of our weapons and shit. As in, cuff his hands together, then cuff one of our hands to one of his cuffed hands. That's professionalism right there.Really, we should just cuff all his limbs.
>>3436660>>3436673This. Call first.
>>3436669but boss he has an eye patch and a peg leg! that's Textbook Piracy right there! i didn't want to point it out before because it could be classified as discrimination but come on he's advocating pirate freedom!

>>3436692>seastone cuffsIsn't this the only other pair we've got? Ohohoho~Also pretty sure Ace will just say fuck it, flambe us and just grab Zoro and run if we become too difficult.
>>3436692>>regular cuffsWe should keep Pistol-chan trained on Roronoa until the transfer is done. No chances. If he tries anything, just shoot him.

>>3436718FLEET-ADMIRAL MATERIAL RIGHT HERE, what a brain!>maybe you should giftwrap yourself while you’re at it“All right,” you decide. “Roronoa, get over to the door.”The pirate gives a casual shrug, seek,ingly unconcerned by his change in living quarters, and ambles over. “Hope I get a beer in the next cell.”“Still no beer!” You unlock the cell door while the infantryman watches, motioning Roronoa over to you, and then -Snap a seastone cuff around his already-cuffed wrist.Both Roronoa and the infantryman flinch.“What.” Roronoa sounds almost horrified, which makes you wonderfully happy, and his face falls further when you snap the other end around your own wrist.“Like I’d risk you escaping during transfer!” You would finger-gun at him, but he isn’t worthy. The twitching face is a beautiful thing to behold, though. “Now, just come with us and you settled in! Let’s go, Private...?”“White, sir!” The infantryman snaps another salute, sounding serious, but you think you see his shoulders shake a little. What’s up with that guy? Itchy uniform?“Great, let’s head out, then. Oh, I’d better make a call to Sm- Captain Smoker on the way.”With your eyes on Roronoa, you tug him out of the cell, free hand dipping into your pocket as you pull Mr Speedy out.With Private White leading, you prod Roronoa up the stairs in front of you as well, where he can’t snatch your weaponry without difficulty. Meanwhile, Smoboss picks up the Den-Den, sounding distracted.“Brat? How are you?”>???
>>3436767>>Pretty good! Just transferring Lolonoa to Garp's ship! You can't give me Latrine duty for following orders

>>3436767>Yeah I'm fine, turns out it wasn't a poison and was a drug instead, anyway, Private White from Garp's ship has informed me that Garp has requested a prisoner transfer to his ship for Zoro.... no idea why he'd send a private to oversee the escort of a dangerous prisoner though.
>>3436775+1
>>3436767>>3436775Supporting.A part of me was hoping we'd actually cuff one hand to us with regular cuffs and the other hand to the marine with the seastone cuffs, just for the two to think Flashman saw through the disguise while in reality he's thinking to himself "triple cuffs, brilliant!

Like you don’t carry around multiple cuffs, with the amount of trouble you run into? HA!Both Roronoa and the infantryman flinch.“What.” Roronoa sounds almost horrified, which makes you wonderfully happy, and his face falls further when you snap the other end around your own wrist.“Like I’d risk you escaping during transfer!” You would finger-gun at him, but he isn’t worthy. The twitching face is a beautiful thing to behold, though. “Now, just come with us and you settled in!

Let’s make sure the prisoner’s extra secure.With your eyes on Roronoa, you tug him out of the cell, free hand dipping into your pocket as you pull the sea stone cuffs back out, and slap them on the suddenly-frozen Private’s wrist. Then round Roronoa’s uncuffed wrist! Genius! Harry goddamn Flashman, you’ve done it again, you genius! Humming happily while the Private and Roronoa are standing stock-still, you reach back into your pockets to pull Mr Speedy out.You glance at the other Marine. “Well? Let’s go, there’s no way he’ll escape now.”“Y-yes... Sir...” Private White manages a weirdly shaky salute, giving you a twitchy smile, and then leads the three of you to the stairs, almost hesitantly. Yeah, being handcuffed to a pirate like that must be pretty scary for an infantryman. Poor dude.With Private White leading, you prod Roronoa up the stairs in front of you as well, where he can’t snatch your weaponry without difficulty. Meanwhile, Smoboss picks up the Den-Den, sounding distracted.“Brat? How are you?”(1/2)
“Pretty good!” You can’t help but sound chirpy, despite the sounds of gunshots over the Den Den. Smoboss can handle anything! “Just transferring Lolonoa to Garp's ship! You can't give me latrine duty for following orders.”Bossman snorts, while the three of you keep walking into the bright sunlight of Alabasta. “You’ve got enough of it to be getting on with. And what the hell’s Garp doing, giving orders on my ship without my approval?”“He IS kind of a Vice-Admiral, Smoboss...” You think you see Private White shudder slightly at the mention of Garp. Poor dude. Serving on his ship can’t be fun.“Doesn’t matter. I’ll be having words with him about it later.” There’s your no-nonsense Boss! And there’s... the sound of various people screaming in the background. “I need to go - as soon as Roronoa’s transferred, get some rest.”“I’m fine to-““REST.” The Den Den clicks off.... Dammit.“... My name’s Roronoa, not Lolonoa.”“Gotcha, Lolonoa.”Private White sniggers slightly at that, his free hand reaching to poke carefully against the seastone cuff, while the three of you cross the deck over to the gangplank. Down onto the dock, across to Garp’s ship, into the brig, new cell, done. Maybe you should have got a bunch of men to help with the transfer, but Roronoa’s being pretty well-behaved, and it’s skeleton crews for each anyway,Giving Sunglasses and Hat a quick salute as you pass them (they look kinda twitchy too, you guess everyone’s on edge with all this shit happening), you follow the other two down onto the docks.This is surprisingly easy.“So!” Private White sounds a lot more cheerful and casual, now. “Ensign, it’s time for you to hand over the cuff keys now.”...>...

In an alternate universe>be firefist ace>sent to rescue your dumbass brother's crewmate>get cuffed with seastone, fuck>is he onto you or not???>play along just in case>brilliant idea!>take zoro to garp's ship and then let the marine take the cuffs off by himself>ignore strange looks from zoro as he wonders why you're not rescuing him yet, it's cool>get to garp's brig>marine removes his own cuffs first>nervous sweating>seastone making you woozy>marine removes your own cuff>FREEDOM>YES>marine closes cell door on Roronoa>"That went well, Private! Guess I worried for nothing!">zoro mouthing 'what the fuck' at you from his new, more secure cell>........... fuckAnyhoo, writing.
>>3436340>Yes, that's Klaus super-secret style. The swordsman who doesn't actually need swords. Congrats, I guess I'm the least subtle person in the universe...Awesome, that means if we train hard we can get good enough to scliece shit in half with Pistol-chan
>such is life"Not until we get to Garp's ship, Private, gotta follow protocol!" He's being a little insubordinate, but it's a stressful day for everyone, and being cuffed to Roronoa Zoro can't help. Yeah, you can cut the poor infantryman some slack, he's not a badass like you."When I get back on that ship, there's nothing for me except bedrest," you explain cheerfully, like the morale-booster you are, "so let's just take this transfer nice and easy! And slow, no reason to rush things. Gotta be thorough, right? Pirates can be everywhere! We might even get attacked in this short distance!"White and Roronoa's head turn to slowly stare at each other, eyes narrowing slightly. Tch, to think the pirate's trying to intimidate the poor guy even now."Lolonoa," you say sternly, enjoying the annoyed glance at you when you creatively misinterpret his name, "don't even think about trying anything. Even if you could break regular cuffs, those seastone ones are uncuttable.""Yeah, I know," he mutters, giving his arms a quick shake."So, uh, sir. You really think someone's just waiting around here to grab him?" Poor White. So fresh from bootcamp. You can almost smell the shiny rookieness on him, despite that impressive moustache. "They could be closer than we think," you admit. "They could be within sight of us right now!"White's eyes dart from you to his cuffed wrist and back again, several times. He looks a little pale. Deeeefinitely a rookie."Are you okay, Private? Is the weather too hot for you?" You can't help but be concerned as the three of you trudge awkwardly up the docks."N-nooooo, sir," White denies, licking his lips almost nervously. "Just, haha, never done a prisoner transfer before. But I feel fine! Not that I like the heat, sir."Well, as long as he doesn't feel ill. You hope he's hydrating himself properly in this weather, way too many of the crew seem to think the rum rations are hydrators rather than dehydrators. Dumbasses."The sea's beautiful around here," you suggest optimistically. "If you're off-duty tomorrow, maybe go for a swim, that should cool you off.""THAT'S IT!!" Private White stop walking entirely, throwing his hands up. Roronoa stops as well, groaning. "FINE!"White spins around, eyes narrowed. He suddenly looks a lot more serious than before. Oddly bigger as well. More dangerous. "Ensign, hand over the keys. Now."........Why is Roronoa moving to step beside him?.......Oh.OOOOHHHHHHHHH.Shit.You stare between the two of them. Slowly nod. And reach inside your pocket for the pair of keys.Then you toss them off the dock.They make a distinct 'plup' as they hit the water and sink down by the side of a docked pleasure-yacht...."FUCK," yells Roronoa."Fuck," groans probably-not-White."Fuck you!" You reach for Detective Pistol-chan.>Roll 1d100 for drawing her, best of 3You're cuffed to two pirates, one of whom is the 2nd Division Whitebeard Commander, so good luck with that. DC 98.

>>3437165Our promotion will not be denied.
>>3437148Holy shit anon when I saw that DC 98 I thought 'Well It's almost Impossible but considering this quest-'HAHAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAWe will DROWN In BPQM's tears.
>>3437148Pick a trip.Jesus fuck.Um.If you end up arresting Ace. As a fucking Ensign. I just... I don't even know.What the fuck is this quest. What the fuck. What the fuck. Your grandmother banged a D. It's the only explanation. What the fuck.Please don't kick off Impel Down arc. Please.>Hold gun to Roronoa's chest>Hold gun to Roronoa's head>Hold gun to White's magnificent chest>Hold gun to White's head>Other?
>>3437165Guess we're jumpstarting Marineford early.Or Garp 'accidentally' loses them
>>3437197>>Hold gun to White's head
>>3437197>Hold gun to Roronoa's chest
Quickest draw in the East. We aren't called Flashman for nothing.>>3437197>Hold gun to White's head
>>3437197>Hold gun to White's headGOODBYE ACE.
>>3437197>>Hold gun to White's headYou just want an excuse to write about Ace's abs don't you?
>>3437197>>Hold gun to White's magnificent chest
>>3437197>>Hold gun to White's headCanon had been beaten up a bit before but it is now lying dead in a corner.
>>3437197>Hold gun to White's headShit boss, we might end up killing your crush if this escalates any further....sorry
>>3437212>Zoro calls us cutting metal "Pretty Good">turn into OcelotWe should get a quickdraw skill for this bullshit.
>>3437216I don't need an excuse.
>>3437197I'm stupid and forgot to tripcode.
Hey boss, what happens if we fight someone way out of our league, but still roll a nat 100? Like, is there a cut off point beyond which even that won't let us win?
>>3437216He ha can write about them as he's on the execution block.Time for Luffy to want to kill us for real, forever.
>>3437197One last try, because I'm really dumb.
>>3437197>>Hold gun to White's magnificent chest>and shootDeal with the consequences later. Can't afford to fuck around until Roronoa's in either a cell or a box.
>>3437226I just wanted you to be kidnapped and have 'help, I'm cuffed to two pirates' shenanigans... that was all I wanted...How did it end up like this... how...>>3437239I've decided to do combat wherein instead of multiple dice, everyone has 1d100+(skill bonus). So basically, if you go up against a 1d100+600 bonus behemoth, you're fucked. If you Nat100, you'll get SOMETHING good, for example you'll JUST manage to dodge their attacks for that round, or you get a chance to escape, or they decide t monologue at you instead of kill you, etc. But some people are indeed straight up unbeatable right now.>>3437260DESTROYER OF ART
>Be me>Just finish a game of Civ 6>friend on discord pokes me about the thread>Check and see the hundo>mfwAlso we now have 6 Banked 100s
>>3437264Cool, thanks. I'm glad we won't just be able to cheese everything with pure luck.And tbf we haven't taken them both in just yet. If Zoro can distract us Ace might be able to take us down, though we are presumably still within sight of the ship.
>>3437264Would you say this is an accurate representation of your current mood?
>>3437264This is going to end with another Strawhat seeing this go down and a full scale assault from them isn't it?
>>3437276Pretty muuuuuuuuuuchhhhhhh Also I think I'm going to confirm Charlottemomma with Dgrandpapa, because this is BULLSHIIIIIIIIIIIIIT>>3437270... At the start of this quest, I thought nat100s would be rare. Holy shit. Also, still got that shonenNat100 in reserve if you're not including that one, I'm hanging onto it for now.Calling and tallying from here...
>>3437264Jeez, are we really evil enough to force the QM into writing a snuff piece of their favorite character? of course we are :D
>>3437290Then we CQC them into the cuff triangle, making a square.
>>3437264>DESTROYER OF ARTNah, nah. Scars are sexy. Who knows, maybe it'll teach him to not get cocky. Might even save his life!...nah.
>>3437295>. At the start of this quest, I thought nat100s would be rare. Holy shit. Also, still got that shonenNat100 in reserve if you're not including that one, I'm hanging onto it for now.They are, the rolls in this quest are legitimately bullshit like holy shit. I haven't seen so many 1s and 100s in one quest in a long time. Your dice are bipolar as hell.
>Be Smoker>Fighting pirates>Get a call from Him>Says he’s going to do a prisoner transfer under Garp’s orders>Okay, well, not a huge deal, even He can pull off something as basic as that without any complicati->Get a call from one of Garp’s crew about how He prevented an attempted escape by Zoro, and captured one of the Grand Line’s most notorious pirates in the process>*Smoking intensifies*
>>3437295Quickdraw ability when?
>>3437264Well OP, I think you are looking at this the wrong way.Now you can write about Roronoa Zoro and FireAbs Ace having 'help, we're cuffed to Devil Ensign Flashman' shenanigans.
Ah, a new day of OPBP quest, let's see what's going o...Cuffed to both Zoro and AceDc 98Nat100My fucking sides went in orbit Qm.Legit folded in half by laughter.Good, good.Now I gotta put some more effort on the whole team drawing
>>3437321Now Smoker and his crew no longer represent a significant threat, but instead represent a "HOLY SHIT EVERYONE RUN" threat due to these shenanigans.
Anyways, let's tally up the number of Strawhats and Strawhat associates that hate us>Nami, because we caught her and threw her in the slammer>Sanji, because we also threw him in the slammer>Zoro, because we kicked him in the nuts, broke one of his swords and caught him twice>Usopp, because we probably gave him a concussion>Ace, because we slapped him in seastone cuffs and put a gun to his headLuffy and Chopper are all that remains.
>>3437295yeah your keeping track of this as it was officially handed off to you
>>3437341>implying defeating and capturing Ace isn't enough to put us on Luffy's shitlist
>>3437309And I absolutely love this. This quest truly carries One Piece spirit in it.>>3437315I actually wouldn't mind that.Maybe later we could broaden it to our other weapons, or try out that swordstyle that makes you draw sword, cut stuff in the same motion and sheath it in a blink of an eye. Haki would probably help alot in that, at least drawing and sheathing part.
>>3437330At this rate we're going to go so high up the Strawhat pirate's threat rating that they'll decide to gang up on us with the entire crew given half the chance!>>3437341>Usopp, because we probably gave him a concussionUnless the others told him who it was that dropkicked him, Usopp probably still has no idea who we are.And even then this is Usopp we're talking about - he's more likely to go "OH SHIT" at the mention of Flashman at this point.
>>3437352>swordstyle that makes you draw sword, cut stuff in the same motion and sheath it in a blink of an eyeIaido. That's what you're thinking of.
.... fuck, I made this thread a day ago and we're already halfway through my 1000-post-per-thread limit. Well, you're allowed threads at once, so shouldn't be a problem.>>3437300Thankfully, Ace can probably use Armament enough to deal with a regular bullet. I hope.>>3437321..... I like that glass-half-full thinking, anon. Hmmmm.....>>3437315NOW>100 fuck you(Gained new trait Quickdraw (Low)! +5 bonus to drawing and aiming/shooting firearms in a flash!)Roronoa Zoro and White are both lunging at you, across the tiny, chained distance that separates you, four hands reaching out to grab you.So you Kami-e out of the way of the first arm, grab-draw-aiming Detective Pistol-chan in the smoothest, fastest motion you've ever made. It's like he leapt into your hand in pursuit of JUSTICE.(Pistol-chan Awakening +1!)And then everyone freezes again as Pistol-chan presses her muzzle against White's heart.He stares down, disbelief obvious. Roronoa's eyes flicker between it and you, wide and panicked.Damn, it feels good to be a Marine.>And you would be?>You're under arrest, probably-a-pirate!>We're all going to walk to Garp's ship now, nice and slowly.>Do you still want to avoid having to go to the doctor, 'Private'?>Other?
Wait, guys, we had a piece of candy at the start of this whole thing . . . . Holy shit
>>3437376>>We're all going to walk to Garp's ship now, nice and slowly.
>>3437376>>You're under arrest, probably-a-pirate!>>We're all going to walk to Garp's ship now, nice and slowly.
>>3437376>>We're all going to walk to Garp's ship now, nice and slowly.>>And to think, I was going to maybe think about getting you a beer Lolonoa
>>3437376>And you would be?And it was then that Zoro truly realised.He took the wrong hostage.
>>3437376>We're all going to walk to Garp's ship now, nice and slowly.
>>3437309I only follow another couple of quests, and one of them doesn't even do rolls. Is this quest really that bad? We do have quite a lot of rolls, so of course there'd be a higher likelihood, right? Or are they usually more like in the Silvers Harry thread?>>3437311Alabasta is going to run out of cigars if you end up capturing him. Possibly the whole of Paradise, actually.Although it's going to be your old Academy classmates who end up having heart-attacks.>>3437327I honestly nearly put the DC at 100, and then thought 'nah, I'll give them a chance, Ace will definitely underestimate Flashy, maybe they could use that'. Wouldn't even have mattered...>>3437386... oh my fucking god, it's all my fault
>We're all going to walk to Garp's ship now, nice and slowly.
>>3437395Just imagine what the Zoro interlude'll look like after thisHell, at this rate *we'll* be the Garp to Luffy's Roger, not Smoboss
>>3437413Which would make Smoker the Sengoku, assuming we follow through and make him Super Duper OverAdmiral
>>3437407Here's the thing, The silvers thread is insane too. It's absurdly mediocre. Like in a way that's absolutely hilarious
>>3437407I guess the Zoro interlude is going to get even longer now.
>>3437413We want to make Smoboss into Grand Admiral. Kind of like Sengoku is Fleet Admiral.We were destined to be Garp.
>>3437421>>3437413The next "non-canon" thread is instead just going to be a few hundred posts all of the QM posting the Zoro interlude.
>>3437376>>Do you still want to avoid having to go to the doctor, 'Private'?Because if you so much as twitch in a way I don't like, I'll happily send you to the morgue instead....Sorry. Think I needed to get some Silvers out of my system.
>>3437376>We're all going to walk to Garp's ship now, nice and slowly.>>3437386True. Damn.BTWthis:>"They could be closer than we think," you admit. "They could be within sight of us right now!"this:>Are you okay, Private? Is the weather too hot for you?and this:>If you're off-duty tomorrow, maybe go for a swim, that should cool you off.Legendary.Now, if only I didn't forget my fucking tablet pen 1400km form my actual position>>3437407>quest and rollsI do remember fondly a couple of threads that had the eye of the dice gods on them.The great epic of the Skaldening, and the new coming of ninja-asura and ninja-jesus, and one DC-questBut this is preeety consistent. Like, Keanuwoah.gif consistent.
>>3437419>absurdly mediocre>eats yami yami no mi, steals WBs dog and gets away with it due to perfectly timed successes Not really.
>>3437434>and the new coming of ninja-asura and ninja-jesus, and one DC-questWhich ones are those?
>>3437376>>We're all going to walk to Garp's ship now, nice and slowly.>Monitor them via Haki, just to be extra ready when they try something funny, again.
>>3437413I want to see how many times he's changed his impression of us, considering the number of times we've switched from acting like a dunce to hypercompetent.I hope we deliver the "walk to Garp" line very calmly, almost as if we expected all this, just to give the two the idea that we're some sort of incredibly cunning mastermind, four steps ahead the whole time.
>>3437419... I was getting a little frustrated with the rolls in it, but I just assumed the regular threads were spoiling me.>>3437421The Zoro interlude can burn in hellfire. Fuck you Zoro, you got yourself AND then Ace captured. I HAD PLANS. SO MANY PLANS.>>3437434I'm glad those lines came off okay, I didn't have much time to work on them. At least with the SogekingVsFlashy interlude there was more time to play around and experiment.Calling vote, not like it's hard to tally.
>>3437425Shit we really are next gen Garp
>>3437478Loveable Goofball that is incredibly dangerous when serious/pissed?Also we're technically a D confirmed apparently.
>>3437487Wait is our charlotte mom a confirmed D?
>>3437500More like Charlotte mom's dad was a D. Big mom likes quality after all.Also Flashman has cucked both Tashigi and Smoboss out of their pirate dibs I'm keking.
>>3437500>Also I think I'm going to confirm Charlottemomma with Dgrandpapa, because this is BULLSHIIIIIIIIIIIIIT
>>3437500Our Maternal side: Mother (Charlotte D Momma) Maternal Grandmother (Charlotte Linlin) Maternal Grandfather (Name D Granpa)
>mfw u make both zoro and firefist ace absolutely brick themselvesYou let the smirk (go Pistol-chan! You da gun~!) grow and curl on your lips, as White just keeps staring at her. Like he can't quite accept what's happening."Now," you croon, ever so sweetly, "we're all going to walk to Garp's ship, nice and slowly. Got it?""Uh." White can't take his eyes off her. You don't think he's so much scared as in utter shock. Geeze, what an overconfident guy. Did he really think he was some tough bigshot? You're a Marine Ensign, not some rookie bounty hunter.He finally blinks though, as though accepting the situation. "Y-yeah. Okay."Roronoa just nods, looking utterly fed up with everything.You love it."Anyone twitches wrong, and the trigger gets pulled," you casually inform them, giving a slight head-bob towards Garp's ship. "All right - let's go. Roronoa, don't even THINK about trying for my weapons.Roronoa backs off a little, as far as the cuffs allow, but well within your sight. Together, the three of you shuffle in an odd triangle along the docks, to the confusion of several passersby.... Ha. Roronoa sure doesn't seem to like hostages being used against HIM!"So you really did know from the start, huh," he huffs, resigned amusement visible. "I gotta admit, you've got a good poker face.">Eh, I'm more into Go Fish, really.>You'd be amazed by how much I know, Lolonoa. (literally nothing)>You weren't even playing a losing game. You two didn't so much as qualify to enter the competition.>Other?
>>3437540>Eh, I'm more into Go Fish, really.
>>3437548>You'd be amazed by how much I know, Lolonoa. (literally nothing)
>>3437548>>You'd be amazed by how much I know, Lolonoa. (literally nothing)
>>3437540>>You'd be amazed by how much I know, Lolonoa. (literally nothing)Yes indeed, it truly was all according to keikaku*.*Translator's Note: keikaku means bullshit
>>3437548>Eh, I'm more into Go Fish, really.
>>3437520On that note: is our mum a canon Charlotte or OC?>>3437548>>Eh, I'm more into Go Fish, really.
>>3437548>You'd be amazed by how much I know, Lolonoa. (literally nothing)Harry Flashman, master of bullshit.
>>3437560Probably an OC. Same with the D - are they a Portgas? Trafalgar? Something else? I DON'T KNOW.By the way. KAMI-E INCREASE TO C.4, because I forgot to list it.
>>3437548>>Eh, I'm more into Go Fish, really.
>>3437548>Use Haki to keep an eye on them?
>>3437548>You'd be amazed by how much I know, Lolonoa. (literally nothing)Huhuhu keikaku doori.
>>3437579>>3437548This too.Maybe get some people on Garp's ship to help keep watch.
>>3437548>You'd be amazed by how much I know, Lolonoa. (literally nothing)I feel like someone is going to interrupt our awkward shuffle to Garp's ship and they're going to get away, but having those glorious abs at gunpoint was fun while it lasted.
Calling here!
>>3437557We have a skill for that!
>>3437548>You'd be amazed by how much I know, Lolonoa. (literally nothing)>>3437448I feel like recommending only the first: Black Company Quest. Really good. The sakaldening were two crits (and one-shots) back to back. In this case two 1. It was roll under.Completed and Forgotten is running another quest, but I need to catch up after the storm that was the first thread: Char-gen, critfails and death of MC all in one (not)neat package. Funny tho.Then there's the dead and forgotten Khonoa clan quest: at the start pretty good, blessed combat dice and it was a whole new clan playermade... before it became shit, the fanbase toxic as hell, author got full of himself and disappeared to ao3. The other is DC-quest: the mc Battery is a battle-juncky cyborg, with a dice to go with it.I stopped following it after the second arc. Not bad, dunno if it is still going.
>>3437602I really miss Konoha Clan Quest, it was a lot of fun while it lasted
We gotta clean the FUCK outta Pistol-chan after thisMaybe a fancy holster
>>3437602Not played in the first two, but if konoha clan quest is the one I'm thinking of, QM moved over to anonkun. Quest has since ended. QM still going, just with other quests.DC-quest recently got dropped. QM hadn't been enjoying it for a long time. He tried, but the spark was just gone. Not sure if they've got anything else in the works.
>>3437602>before it became shit, the fanbase toxic as hell, author got full of himself and disappeared to ao3.When would you say it became shit? Because I'd say it's when the Akiraface and other Tetsu chucklefucks got introduced along with the fucking dragons and the storyline started to become increasingly stupider. Also Moon's on Akun/Fiction.Live, not Ao3. He finished KCQ there.
>>3437602I liked Konoha Clan until around the Exams. After that started it turned to shit. And the first arc of dc quest was great. The whole stuck in another world arc of the second part was bad and lost me after awhile.
>Sengoku's (Adoptive) Grandson is Garp 2>Garp's grandson is Pirate King 2>Roger's son isn't doing too hot right now.>All of them are DsHmm
Considering how public this is, the other Whitebeard pirates are probably going to know about this before Ace gets to Impel Down. Maybe they can rescue him from the transport ship?Also, more Whitebeard pirates in Paradise means a bigger chance of Blackbeard getting dealt with!
>>3437602>>3437609Never forget Moonrunes and Mach were fucking hacks. Specially Moon. Mach at least tried his best to give his story some form of cohesion, Moon got complacent and fucked off to do smut. Both are an example of what happens when you make too many plot threads and don't finish any of them.
>i love how he's just lolonoa now. shut up and accept it, zolo "You'd be amazed by how much I know, Lolonoa," you say, throwing the same smirk back at him that he kept giving you earlier.... Mostly to keep him from realizing that you had no idea this other dude was a fake, but still.Most importantly, it's not far from Garp's ship, now, and three guys in a tense triangle formation is a little obvious. Especially when there's a Marine officer holding a Marine 'infantryman' at gunpoint, and all three of you are wearing cuffs.Which is why as you approach, infantry - REAL ones - come running."What's go- Holy shit!" The first one pauses as two more stumble to a halt behind him. "That's Firefist Ace!"......>HAHAHAHA YES INDEED IT IS>What? No, this is Roronoa Zoro, soldier, are you blind?>... I can't even handle today, just get them to the brig.>Other?>>3437619I'm gonna be honest - one of the reasons I gave you guys seastone cuffs was so that Ace could steal a pair and use them against Blackbeard in order to escape (or if he rolled REALLY damn well maybe to kill him). But fuck plans.
>>3437619>Whitebeard sends 3 division commanders to intercept the ship>all four of them bump into Blackbeard on the way back to WB>Blackbeard fucking dies
>>3437633>>HAHAHAHA YES INDEED IT IS
>>3437633>>What? No, this is Roronoa Zoro, soldier, are you blind?>>And this is Private White who may be a Revolutionary, and I'm Ensign Flashman.
>>3437633>... I can't even handle today, just get them to the brig.Lol
>>3437633I know. *smug smile* *internally screaming*
WAIT SHIT, I just remembered; doesn't Ace have Conquerors Haki?
>>3437633>What? No, this is Roronoa Zoro, soldier, are you blind?"Also take this infantryman, he was planning to help the prisioner escape!">>3437638We can only hope
>>3437633>... I can't even handle today, just get them to the brig.Man I sure hope those seastone cuffs had extra keys or some infantry are gonna have to go for a swim!...Or maybe someone is capable of lockpicking them off our wrist.
>>3437633>HAHAHAHA YES INDEED IT IS>Scream internally
>>3437633>>... I can't even handle today, just get them to the brig.Once they're locked down, only one problem: getting out of these handcuffs without the key.>I'm gonna be honest - one of the reasons I gave you guys seastone cuffs was so that Ace could steal a pair and use them against Blackbeard in order to escape (or if he rolled REALLY damn well maybe to kill him). But fuck plans.Honestly, you should know better by now. Flashman and plans don't really go together well.
>>3437633>HAHAHAHA YES INDEED IT IS
>>3437633>What? No, this is Roronoa Zoro, soldier, are you blind?
>>3437633>... I can't even handle today, just get them to the brig.>>3437655We can just metal cut the cuff connecting us to Zoro, and stick Zoro and Ace in the same cell.
>>3437658Lol and the QM gave him candy. Honestly he was asking for it.
>>3437633>>HAHAHAHA YES INDEED IT IS>*screaming internally*
>>3437633>>HAHAHAHA YES INDEED IT ISWhat a masterful stroke by the Flashman
>>3437633>... I can't even handle today, just get them to the brig.BRIG. NOW.
I'd just like to point out that we've caught every whitebeard pirate we've found out about. And we've caught every Strawhat that we've gotten in a fight with
>>3437649Yes, but he'd prefer not to reveal that unless 100% necessary, because that's when the Government reeeeally starts looking into you.But hey, he's going to be on Garp's ship, so no torture or outright execution to worry about. What could possibly go wrong?HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAHAHAAAAAAhelp
>>3437658Cut our cuffs my dude. The ones attached to us are regular. The ones attaching Ace and Zoro are seastone.
>>3437633>>What? No, this is Roronoa Zoro, soldier, are you blind?
>>3437671Flashman is going to go down in history as the only Marine to arrest any of the Strawhats (multiple times for Lolo) as well as one of the first people to take down Fire Fist Ace, and I don't know whether to laugh or cry.Captain Flashman s o o n
>>3437620Moon had clearly some problems: he had some ideas but kept dropping them, changed up the tone of the quest multiple times, one off exceptions and jokes became canon power-ups/plot points multiple times and the whole thing felt like a mish mash of different quests and filler arcs. Add to that how he went all "you don't deserve me" and well... Mach should have just took a pause after the first/first-and-a-half season, he ran out of steam. I hope he doesn't stop qm-ing tho. >>3437649Whoops, probably can't risk it it Zoro right next to him tho. >>3437633>Yes, yes it is. >*scream internally*
>>3437655>someone capable of lockpicking seastone handcuffs *laughs in Galdino*
>>3437672>But hey, he's going to be on Garp's ship, so no torture or outright execution to worry about.Yeah, but on the other hand, he's on Garp's ship.Which means he has to deal with Garp.Execution might be kinder.
>>3437672Right, cause when Garp fires a canonball at you as a prisoner on his ship its not "mistreatment" or "torture" it's routine exercise of his prisoners. Truly a model Captain and hero.
>>3437679I don't think that's not gonna happen, anon... we're still in the Photography Department.Friendly reminder that bossman told us to keep low and not attract attention to the higher-ups or else we'll get pulled in to be one of their students. Then we do this. The best part is that it genuinely isn't even our fault.
>>3437684>firesAs if!They WISH he would fire them from a canon.
>>3437686He specifically told us not to use haki too much, since once HQ knows we have it we'll be reassigned. Flashman didn't use haki at all here, so it'll go down as him being born under a lucky star or just a bog standard weapons prodigy.
>Garp's face when his Grandson with a bounty of 550 million and his other Grandson's first mate are captured by a random fucking Ensign that never once showed promise at the academy.
>>3437686>don't think that's not going to happenYour double negative reveals the truth...But seriously, not sure if three promotions in one go is too much. Yes, he has a 550,000,000 beri bounty, but...Well, if Ace doesn't escape, and you make Captain, Smoboss will jump on that Commodore promotion at the speed of light. Like fuck he's going to share a rank with you.CALLING VOTES HERE
"From Cameraman to Captain: The Story of Harry Flashman">The chapter after this incident is just a newspaper clipping of the day after showing a picture of Smoker next to a pile of cigars as big as him with 10 cigars in his mouth
>>3437698>Well, if Ace doesn't escape, and you make Captain, Smoboss will jump on that Commodore promotion at the speed of light. Like fuck he's going to share a rank with you.Oh my god. I've found out how we can motivate Smoker to go for Fleet Admiral
>>3437703Hell yeah.Harry: Lol you think you're safe at Commodore?Smoboss: . . .
>>3437691I imagine taking down a Whitebeard Division Commander is still gonna attract attention, and that's not counting the fact that it doesn't matter whether we used Haki or not - the important thing is whether they THINK that's what happened.If our record includes us finding: the Black Cat pirates, the Revolutionary Spy, and the Whitebeard Spy... it's not gonna be a stretch for them to think "this guy has Observation." Despite the fact that on all those incidents, we were either drunk or threw a goddamn gun in the air.
>>3437698>Well, if Ace doesn't escape, and you make Captain, Smoboss will jump on that Commodore promotion at the speed of light. Like fuck he's going to share a rank with you.Would Smoboss finally jump in the ocean if we somehow hopped ranks ABOVE him?
>>3437708We somehow become Commander In Chief so Smoker decides to replace Im on the Empty Throne.
>>3437700>Loguetown resident Marine Captain found dead>Drowned in his home after firefighters mistook the smoke coming out as fire
>>3437698We have often said that Pistol-chan led us to find things. You can have someone higher-up promote her to captain instead of Flashy.
>>3437727I mean, only because of her we managed to apprehend Ace, so...
>>3437727Honestly she should replace Im on the Empty Throne.
>>3437705Considering Flashman's junior status and the fact he hasn't shown an inkling of having Haki in the academy, I doubt observation haki will be what people will immediately think of. With all the OTHER things going down in Alabasta, I can see the Marines not having much time to really dig deep into the specifics of how Ace was arrested. Also Revolutionary Spy and Black Cat can be explained away using non-Haki excuses. Harry and Tashigi were just very thorough in their search of the ship (and the spy was pretty shit tier for not immediately burning the evidence anyway). And if some enterprising marine with a lot of time on their hands (AKA a photographer rattling around Loguetown with no patrol / combat duties) checked all areas where a ship could have docked in Lougetown they were bound to stumble upon pirates eventually. Only the Whitebeard Spy story would have something fishy about it.
Okay, 8-4-5 for YES, Lolonoa, and fuck-today-in-particular. Writing.
...wait a second. We caught that WB spy because we threw Pistol-chan in the air. Now we've caught Ace by pointing Pistol-chan at him....Does Pistol-chan have a vendetta against the Whitebeards?
>>3437744Holy shit. QM weapon backstory please??? When they awaken.
Do we still get a promotion even if Ace escapes Garp's ship?
>>3437744She would have a vendetta against all criminal scum I imagine.Thats how JUSTICE rolls.
>>3437744It's not that Pistol-chan has a vendetta. It's just that she's a damn good detective that doesn't afraid of no yonkou.
>>3437753I mean, I imagine yes since at that point it would be Garp's fuck-up.
>>3437753Oh god I just realised we're pulling this shit off only a few hours after being poisoned. Shit this is gonna be front page news.Oh god are we going to be a celebrity?
>>3437750>The whitebeard pirates killed her last partner. She was a fresh, doe-eyed recruit traight off the manufacturing belt, assigned to a gruff up and comer enlisted marine. Things were looking pretty good until....that night....>She didn't want a new partner, didn't need a rookie keeping her down, but damn it if she hasn't grown a soft spot for the kid. The rookie just worms his way into your heart, ya can't help but want to keep him from losing that fresh enthusiasm to the job...Weapon backstories sounded dumb at first but now I cant help but really want them.
>>3437786Probably not a celebrity but we'll definitely be winning some major points with the brass.
Although the actual novel Harry Flashman is more cowardly, self-interested and assholish, I'm really starting to feel like Flashy was well-named. Although maybe Ciaphus Cain would have been more accurate.>what is happening. 'it' is happening.......Your grin might turn a little manic. Fortunately, the Marines and pirates are busy staring at each other rather than you."Hahahaha, YES, indeed it is!"what the fuck what the fuck what the fuck what the fuckOne of the Marines calls for more reinforcements, more guns pointed at both Firefist (MOTHERFUCKING FIREFIST ACE) and Roronoa now, and the two pirates cast looks at each other, Firefist apologetic, Roronoa mildly annoyed.... You're glad they're not trying anything stupid, but they could stand to panic a little more, right?With a larger escort of wary Marines, the three of you head up onto Garp's ship, and into the brig.... Then the pirates get shoved in a seastone cell, while a Petty Officer fiddles with a lockpick at your wrist (much to Firefist's amusement, as he peels off his fake moustache). Apparently this guy had an interesting past before becoming a Marine."... So do I get a beer or not?">SHUT UP, LOLONOA>(you're too busy being dazed from arresting Firefist Ace to care)>You know what? You helped me capture Firefist, so sure. You can have a beer to show my appreciation.>Other?>>3437750... Well. Because Pistol-chan is Marine-issue, she probably had a previous owner. So it's possible they were killed by a Whitebeard pirate...?>>3437753You DID capture him, so assuming it's not your own fuck-up that lets him escape, yes. Not as big of one as if he doesn't escape, but still.>>3437786Pretty much. And the Charlottes are going to see it. So will Sengoku.Have fun.
>>3437803>You know what? You helped me capture Firefist, so sure. You can have a beer to show my appreciation.
>>3437798Depends if we make the front page. If we do we're probably at least getting a fanclub, being a prettyboy and all.
>>3437803>Other?Go take a nap.
>>3437803>>Make sure that the Petty Officer is actually a Marine.I'm feeling really paranoid right about now.
>>3437803>You know what? You helped me capture Firefist, so sure. You can have a beer to show my appreciationGetting him drunk would actually make it easier to keep him restrained so...
>>3437816Actually support. Do it out of earshot though.
>>3437803>"Yeah sure whatever, I need to make a call.">Call Smoboss
>>3437803>>Oi what part about prisoners don't get beer is so hard to understand?>>You also just literally tried to escape with Ace. Naughty behavior is punished
>>3437803>You know what? You helped me capture Firefist, so sure. You can have a beer to show my appreciation>And condolecens. Nobody really deserve a Garp sicced on them, but they tried this stunt using his name, so...
>>3437803>"Sure, you can have a beer.">*Water it down so much that it's basically just water*
>>3437831What did the qm say?Oh yes.MARINE BRUTALITY
>>3437803>>3437822Supporting.>>3437809Of men, right? A whole bunch of 'em who think Flash is a woman.

So it's possible they were killed by a Whitebeard pirate...?...oh. Oh, Pistol-chan. No wonder she's so gruff and jaded. We should pamper her and make sure she knows she's loved.
>>3437803>>You know what? You helped me capture Firefist, so sure. You can have a beer to show my appreciation.And this >>3437816
>>3437803Much less worried about Charlottes and SengokuBricking it about Whitebeard and Luffy and possibly the ACTUAL revolutionary army with Sabo.Hold on.Will Marco put 2+2 together with us and Smoker?Oh no.
>>3437816>>3437821I'll forestall issues here, yes, he's a Marine.... if you want to ask him for lockpicking lessons, it's cool.>>3437838>get voted Most Beautiful Marine in the yearly surveys>(Hina pushed to number 2)>(Hina is Not Amused)>everyone on the ship keeps sniggering at you and you don't know why

>>3437803>Call Smoboss
>>3437803...wait if we show up on the front page of the Newspaper, would mom recognize the fact we look a lot like that guy she had a kid with? And would Sengoku also recognize we look a lot like Cora-san? Fuck what about Doflamingo? Oh god can we just release Ace now?
>>3437803Oh god *yes*, let Smoker know what has transpired! He'll think we're bullshitting, but the potential meltdown would probably be visible to the ships!
>>3437863You made this bed full of shit and corpses.Lie in it.
