Cover-art kindly provided by our noble artiste, Draw-anon, who kindly took time off repainting the Sistine Chapel for us. Look upon our prettyboy protagonist. Look upon his devilish smile and despair.

In last thread’s episode of Why Can’t I Hold All These Crits, our hero HARRY ‘TROUBLE MAGNET’ FLASHMAN found himself a natural prodigy with the fine and subtle weaponry that are... cannonballs. Um. He, uh, also confirmed that Fireface is Garp’s grandson, Hat got a Logia, and Crocodile got deadified. Afterwards, HQ threw out promotions like candy (mmm, candy), and the ship carrying Lolonoa Zolo has come under attack by Jedi Kn- uh, the Strawhats. At least you still have Wado Ichimonji.

We now return you to your scheduled idiocy.

>call curly

All right. First up, the docks are an hour away. That means you need ENERGY. and energy means SUGAR.

So you grab a couple of pieces of candy and shove them in your candy-hole.

“IS THIS REALLY THE TIME?!” Ah, Lieutenant... one can’t expect someone of her pitiful rank to understand the wisdom of her superiors. How sad.

You ignore her, and focus on Mr Speedy again, who’s highly unimpressed by all this running in hot weather, and would rather have been in the shade somewhere. By a pool. With a little umbrella, and a massive head of lettuce.

Too bad, Mr Speedy, you’re a MARINE.

Curly picks up in short order, sounding harried. “Yes?”

“Hey Curly, any idea what’s going on?”

“I have no idea!” Wow, he sure can wail. “It sounds like Strawhat Luffy was really Mr 2 -“ OHHHH, that makes sense now... “- Rainbase is being invaded by okama, mi-mi-mi, and Princess Vivi is still- a prisoner! As I already knew! Of course!”

... He totally thought the Strawhats were inside the Palace, didn’t he? You can’t help but feel a little bit of glee that after having lied to you, he got lied to in return. Ouch. Then you feel bad, because being lied to sucks. A lot.

“The ship with Lolonoa on is being attacked,” you say. “So it sounds like the Strawhats have recruited this Kohza guy and... kept the Princess prisoner.” You and Tashigi hurtle around a corner, still on track for the docks. “We’ll be chasing them, but...”

“You don’t think you’ll catch them, do you?” He sounds frustrated.

“... Not really. They left at least last night, maybe before.”

“Understood. But - but, mi-mi-mi... I’ll admit, the Strawhats aren’t my priority! Even Kohza! But Princess Vivi MUST be returned!”

“And the duck?”

“... Yes, Carue too.”

>Then come with us! We haven’t gone too far yet, you can catch up with us.
>We’ll do our best.

“Then come with us! We haven’t gone too far yet, you can catch up with us.”

A brief pause. “That... i shouldn’t get involved in such matters...”

“Well, if you think not, then I guess-“

“But I’ll come anyway! I’ll mi-mi-meet you at the the docks!”

He hangs up. You and Tashigi look each other. Then shrug as one.

“Well, that’s that.” You dodge a couple of passersby.

“Yes,” Tashigi puffs, looking determined. “At least nothing more can go wrong!”

... Hey, wait. Isn’t Fireface on Garp’s ship?

Glazed look on your face, you keep running.

(AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH, says a small voice deep at the back of your head.)

The next forty minutes are blur of rushing speed and then a load of hurry up and wait - Curly gets to the docks not too many minutes after the pair of you (riding a camel... makes sense, you guess), followed by all piling on to Garp’s ship, as the men hurriedly get it moving again to head out to sea.

Garp, apparently, is running around Rainbase, hunting down okama (there’s a sentence you never thought you’d hear). Considering what you know of his and Strawhat’s suspect he might not be dealing with the issue quite as quickly as he could be.

As the ship races along the river, you

Yep I totally want to do this

It makes sense IC because Curly will want to catch up to Vivi as soon as possible to ''rescue'' her (read: plead with her to come home)

Yeah, Skypiea sounds cool! We can leave Fireplace, Smoboss and therest down at the ground to deal with Blackbeard.

Hey, at least he has backup and doesn't have to chase Blackbeard across the entire grand line now.

Really he should be thanking us!

I gotta admit, Skypiea is one of my least favorite arcs, but I think I could wrangle this... now, how to make sure you don’t see Usopp during the whole event... hmmm...

With little to do, you make the most of your curent duties to wander over to Curly, who stands at the railings, looking like he wants to throw himself off.

“Okay, seriously... ducks? Military ducks? I mean, I’m from the Grand Line myself, but... ducks.” Seriously. Duuuuucks. Not that you’ve got anything against them, but... “Could you tell me where I can find one for myself?”

Curly gives you a long, pointed look. “Carue is the Captain of the Super Spot-Billed Duck Troops, the fastest super spot-billed duck in the entirety of Alabasta. He’s served for many years as a fine officer, as well as Princess Vivi’s good friend.”

“... So you’re saying none of them might wanna serve as Marines? Because we’re already making a uniform for a mermaid, I bet we could wrangle one for some giant ducks.”

“...... I’m not sure ducks can enlist, mi-mi-mi.”

>Sounds racist.

>hina’s ass is thoroughly kicked, and garp is being ‘accidentally’ defeated by okama, so sad

“Okay, but hypothetically, maybe I could hire one as a mercenary or something? I gotta be honest, I just think they’re cool.”

Curly coughs imperiously. “The super spot-billed ducks are much-loved citizens of our country, not mere talking points! .... But yes, mi-mi-mi, they’re quite ‘cool’. Still, their main military role is as messengers or transport, so I doubt the Marines would find much purpose for them at sea.”

Curly blinks. Slowly. “I... I see? Well, I could - certainly raise the issue with the King?”

Eventually, hours of sailing later, Bogart makes the announcement - Smoboss caught up with the remains of Hina’s ship, and set about rescuing the crew.

The good news is that the Strawhats aren’t really into killing, so there aren’t TOO many deaths - the bad news is Black Cage’s ship is barely seaworthy, and Roronoa Zoro is gone along with the rest of the Strawhats.

Oh, and as Roronoa casually told Hina before they left, “Let that Ensign know I’m still coming for my swords.”

Ha! Let him come! You can take him again!

“Hey, this totally means I get dibs, ~Lieutenant~Tashigi,” you laugh. Tashigi ‘accidentally’ steps on your foot.

She’s so violent...

“The Commodore is going ahead to try and catch up with the Strawhats,” Bogart says, his monotone voice somehow making it extremely clear what he thinks the likelihood of this is. “We’ll be going back to collect Vice-Admiral Garp - it’ll take longer to drop you off and have you find another ship, so you’d best come with us.”

“Are you going to following the Strawhats as well, sir?” Tashigi sounds concerned - obviously not happier to be split from Smoboss and the rest than you are.

“Not quite - the next island along is Jaya, so that’s where the Strawhats, Commodore Smoker And ourselves will be heading, but we’ll be moving on to stop at a nearby Marine base for a while after that. You’re welcome to travel along to Jaya, but if we miss the Commodore on the way...”

“I’m sure we can meet up with him on Jaya,” Tashigi says quickly, before apologizing for the inconvenience.

Since when are you guys an inconvenience? You’re all awesome!

Eh, well. More importantly... now you have to spend hours going BACK to Alabasta, while the White Mist gets further and further away...

>How to spend next few hours?

Oh, yeah, you have that back now. The evidence has already been removed and sent to HQ. Not that they need it now he’s dead, but still.

First up, you deposit Mr Speedy with the ship's own den dens. He seems particularly enthused by the sizes and variety of lettuce offered, and apparently decides to claim them all as his own.

Figuring the others won't starve to death from one missed meal, you go off to challenge Curly to a spar.

With FANS.

He, amazingly, accepts.

It goes... okay. Not great, but admittedly it's been a little while since you properly used your fans, and boy oh boy, you've never actually sparred against someone who primarily fights with guns. Machine-guns. In their hair.

.... Okay then.

With all that surprise, while you don't get your ass kicked, you DO lose, and not too closely, either. Lesson learned - you're going to have to get better at mobility while using your fans. It's one thing to hold position and territory when your opponent needs to get close, but another when they can stand at range and shoot the crap outta you.

(Fans +1, increased use of mobility when using them!)

... Never mind.

>okay versus fail

You begin the rematch with a bang (literally, dude's shooting at you). This time, you're a little more mobile, dishing and evading, though you don't necessarily take the fight to Curly.

You do, on the other hand, manage to take a leaf out of your spar with Fop, and carefully manipulate him into walking backwards and tripping over a step, which ends the spar pretty quickly.

It's not really a satisfying victory, and depended on his unfamiliarity with the ship, but it's still a victory. You guess.

Meh.

By the time you dock - Nanohana this time - Garp is ready and waiting to be brought aboard, along with the remainder of his and Smoboss' infantry who'd been left behind.

With night falling, the ship will be setting sail as quickly as possible towards Jaya, leaving Alabasta far behind. Curly's coming too - you doubt he's thrilled with the Strawhats right now, and maybe he can talk their 'hostage' into returning.

>>
>>3447214
>>3447214
Honestly? I'd say Flashman's got mixed feelings about the whole thing.

We caught Lolonoa and Fireface (and HOLY SHIT, WE CAUGHT A WHITEBEARD COMMANDER), but a lot of luck went into that, as opposed to our own raw skill. If even one thing had been slightly off, we'd have been taken out or worse. Also, we thought that Fop died for a short while, and that would have really sucked.

The situation in Alabasta is resolved, but it also involved a pirate getting the Shichibukai position, so they're pretty much thumbing their nose at the justice system and getting away with it. Also, they have a vendetta against us, as they literally scorched our name into the floorboards before crossing it out. Also, the Whitebeard pirates will want our head when they figure out all the details behind the incident.

We got promoted to Commander, which is freaking sweet, but we're a Commander in the Photography Division. Which is like being the lead singer of a rock band, but it's also a Christian band. The others got promotions as well, which is actually really cool, and Hat got an Acid Logia, so good on ya, Hat.

But now, the Strawhats are getting away, again. Lolonoa got busted out, AGAIN. And the princess is still a hostage (maybe?), the Strawhats now have new crewmates, including the vice president of the criminal organization that tried to take over a country, and the leader of the rebellion who is technically a criminal. And the latter just became a Sand Logia.

Now we're going after them, with Curly, who has been kind of lying to us, but for a good reason, and he's still an okay guy as a person. So it's mixed.

There were a lot of positives, but also a lot of negatives. I imagine Flashy will want to really train himself so that he can prevent this from happening again.
>>
>>3447250
>Flashy will want to really train himself so that he can prevent this from happening again.

...But training won't have stopped a bunch of things which happened in Alabasta - Garp pulling strings to get his grandsons off scot free, people siding with pirates because that gives them the most reward, the incompitance (both real and faked) of others.

Flashy needs to accept that might won't solve everything at some point. Cue Akainu
>>
>>3447214
>Mixed bag. Good things that happened were great, bad things that happened were really shitty, some will haunt us for a long time. We learned some things we shouldn't and some other things that are totally awesome. We got a new companion but were separated from most of our crew. Garp morphed from a horrifying demon from the past into a pretty cool(if still a bit scary) dude. A mixed bag, but it all ended up relatively fine.
>>
>>3447240
W-whatever, it's not like that impresses me or anything, b-baka...!

>>3447237
Normal fan-sized, maybe a little bigger, but nothing BIG.

And these are all very useful, thanks guys! I'm gonna go eat now, but next sort-of-arc instead of travelling with sis and Curly will be a few days with Garp's crew (and Fireplace, ARRRRGGHHHHH), followed by taking a small boat in to Jaya while Garp's ship fucks off elsewhere.

Proud of what we achieved; we exposed Crocodile, helped save a country, got justice for Zoro backstabbing us, took down one of Whitebeard's commanders, helped Hat become a fuckin logia, learned how to yeet cannonballs from Garp himself and got a good chunk of the crew promoted.
On the other hand, annoyed at how quickly Roronoa got out the moment we weren't keeping an eye on him. Ace got out by becoming a Warlord. Crocodile's fruit is in the hands of a strawhat. We found out someone we trusted had been lying to us from the start. Whitebeard is going to want us even deader than before on account of Ace's new job. And after Garp pulling strings for his grandkids we lost a lot of faith in the marines.
So, a lot more confident in ourselves and our crewmates, packaged with a lot less trust in everyone else.

Fop needs to learn that Flashy has no shame (him learning that Flashy is a guy is a pipe dream at this point)

Also it will cover too much of the tattoo.

The flames are blue and green - they don't scream marine at first glance? Most people will assume that he's a vain fucker and picked them because they match his colouring (true)

>>
6 for Hero, 7 shirtless, I believe. Any more?

And if you guys wanna show off the tat, sarashi won't work.

I can assure you that Fop won't see you, although if you don't hide all your weapons except Pistol-chan, Zoro WILL recognize you and know you're a guy.

So it depends on if you wanna keep fooling Zoro.
>>
>>3447396
Oh shit guys, maybe the shirtless thing isn't a good idea
>>
>>3447392
Tattoo is literally across our entire torso. There's no point in going shirtless if we wear it.
>>
>>3447396
Alright, no sarashi then. Has Zoro ever seen our fans?

Literally why would we want to fool Zoro, honestly? Not like we stand to gain from it, he just went and assumed it because of that idiot Fop.
>>
>>3447396
>Hero
I will switch to keep fooling Zolo.
>>
>>3447401
If you wanna keep fooling Zoro as well, you can borrow a bag from the ship and put all your weaponry it except Pistol-chan, and borrow a sword from Garp's ship.

As a bonus, you can be incredibly mysterious about what the bag contains. You'll be on Jaya for a couple of days, so plenty of time for shenanigans.

He's seen them at your side, though not wielded. Fans and jitte are too memorable, and he'll recognize any sword immediately, but Pistol-chan he won't have paid any attention to. And again, you can borrow a gutless or katana from Garp's ship. Or, uh, steal one in Mocktown. They're pirates, who cares?

I can guarantee that for the sake of humor, literally no-one will see through your disguise EXCEPT the Strawhats, and they'll only realize who you are if your weapons are on display. If you hide them or leave them in an inn, etc, no-one will know.

I just love identity shenanigans too much.

If people want to tell Fop, they're welcome to vote to do so. I'd be happy to write the resulting confused-blue-screen-of-death!

Anyhoo, I think this is becoming a confused mess with vote changes that is rather cut my arms off than tally, So how about this:

You will NOT run into any Strawhat besides Usopp in Mocktown. In order not to be recognized by him, however, you CANNOT wear/use your jitte or fans, so they'll have to be in a bag or left in an inn. You can still wear/use Cut-chan, Ka-tan, Piero-san and Pistol-chan.

You will also switch back into Marine uniform before getting to Skypiea, and can wear/use all weapons there.

Is that okay with everyone? Any problems?

>>3447468

Do we have a suit yet?

>>
>>3447456
I never voted for that option in the first place. BP runs all day and I work 6 days a week. That happened and was long finished before I'd even started reading that thread.

Also because it's dumb and fueling Fob's delusions is dumb cause he's just going to feel like a massive idiot and that Flashman was laughing at him the entire time when the truth EVENTUALLY comes out.

Friendships built on lies don't last and lying and saying 'Oh I'm Totally A Woman' is a pretty big one.

I'll run another vote on Mysterious Hero vs Shirtless closer to your disguise time, because I think we've had a load of vote changes here based on Zoro.

>>3447475
Not yet, if you guys want to decide if you're going to change uniform now you've been promoted, feel free. You can also sling your coat over your shoulders with JUSTICE if you want.

By the way, Strawhats are a couple of days ahead of schedule from canon. That means that when you reach Mocktown, it's going to be a couple of days until the knock-up stream, and Blackbeard hasn't reaches Jaya yet. He'll get there after you do, I'm going to have to work out timelines.

That's exactly it. The shock of Fop being so off the mark was funny as heck the first time, but everyone sniggering at Flashman now is getting old.

Doesn't Sanji already know we're a guy? I mean he went for a nut shot, and I'm pretty sure girls don't wear cups to protect their genitals? Or do they? Not too sure on that one, actually.
>>
>>3447531
He went for a nutshot that we no sold.
>>
>>3447531
The joke was that Flashy tanked the nutshot because '''he''' had no nuts to shot, not because he was wearing a cup.

Which doesn't make sense because a Sanji tier crotch kick would absolutely make a woman be in agony too.
>>
>>3447538
Shh
Anime logic.
>>
>>3447531
He knows you're a guy.

ALSO does anyone mind doing the standard 'two actions a day' to Jaya? I can do otherwise, it's just that nothing much interesting is gonna happen on the way unless you specifically vote for it. It's two days to get there.
>>
>>3447531
Interestingly, back when I did fencing, guys wore cups and girls wore chest protectors which were like two shallow dishes, when then went over the chest.

Getting hit in the crotch still hurts, but getting hit in the chest is the real bitch.
>>
>>3447531
As far as I'm aware, getting hit between the legs is still VERY painful for women given how many sensitive nerves are down there.

The angle of delivery is just narrower compared to a male target.

Alright.

>>
>>3447543
That's fine.
Time to show off our cannonball skills infront of fireplace.
>>
I'd vote to Continue Cannonball Practice and ask if Garp has any seastone Cannonballs we can borrow.
>>
I'd personally like to spend at least one of the actions trying to awaken one of our weapons.
>>
>>3447556
And once we get good enough, we'll get a craftsman to weld a big ol' handle onto a cannonball and tie a ton of rope to it.

Two-handed cannonball flail is a go!
>>
>>3447565
We're still like 8/15 for even our closest weapons anon. We aren't even close.

GOOD NEWS

I just remembered you should get THREE actions a day, because Klaus training isn't automatically taking up a slot.

DAY 1 OF 2

>First action
>Second action
>Third action

These can be training or socialization, or other stuff. I'm assuming you're avoiding Fireplace unless you specifically say otherwise.

I'm also trying to get all these over in as few comments as possible, because we're nearly a third of the way through the friggin' thread already.

What do people think of something like this for a cannon ball instead of a chain? It would allow it to function as a sorta brass knuckle when Flashman isn't pitching it around. He could use it for boxing or attach it to the opposite end of one of the fans for a sort of kusarigama.
>>
>>3447507
I love the Mysterious Hero vibe more than shirtless, we get to dress up and be dramatic and mysterious. Flashy would love It, It has my vote.
>>
>>3447834
I don't think it has the same charm as just a cannonball.
If a two year timeskip occurs with Flashy training with Garp I wonder how strong he'd be by the end of it compared to timeskip Strawhats.

>>3447834
I know we've got bullshit one piece strength, but I still can't imagine trying to use that thing to punch not throwing us off balance and just being generally unwieldy. And the extra bit seems like it'd probably mess with our throws.

Well either 0% or 100% considering Flashman's lineage>>3447990 and the fact he's bullshit. QM already bamboozled herself into giving Flashman two he didn't even know he had, might as well pin the setting down and stick her thick spider lumber log thorax deep into it with the ultimate haki prodigy.

A big part of Conqueror's Haki is personality. It's meant for those with the disposition of a literal king or ruler, the sorts of people who rise up to conquer nations. Examples of people who have Conqueror's:

Luffy
Ace
Whitebeard
Boa Hancock
Shanks
Silvers Rayleigh
Doflamingo
Big Mom
Katakuri
Eustass Kid (RIP)

All of these people have some element of being a natural leader, but it's not common at all - literally one in a million people have it. We've only seen it in so many people because the Grand Line is a magnet for those kinds of personalities. And despite everything he's done so far, I don't really think that Flashman is that kind of a person. He doesn't really have people follow him, nor does he want to be a leader. He just wants to live his best Flashy life.
>>
Regarding the choice of a DevilFruit, I'm ambivalent towards taking one at all but I was thinking that if we do get one we could try for a Mercury Devil Fruit?
Think about it:
>Mercury Sword/Bullets
>Giant waves of mercury suddenly erupting with an armory worth of weapons
>Leap from pool to pool while switching weapons underneath
>Pin and then shoot them

That said, I'm still salty we didn't keep the Magnetic Devil Fruit to have all our weapons orbit around us and weapon surf
>>
... You know, it just now occurred to me how eerily close our whole possible eventual “living weapon” thing is to Big Mom’s whole “put a bit of my soul into this object to give it life”. Huh.

I wonder which members of BW died, they had a lot of devil fruit users amongst their midst, meaning a lot of devil fruits could be going around right now

Mr. 2 Bon Kurei, Bentham - Mane Mane no Mi (Alive)
Mr. 3, Galdino - Doru Doru no Mi
Miss Merry Christmas, Drophy - Mogu Mogu no Mi
Lassoo - Inu Inu no Mi, Model: Dachshund
Mr. 5, Gem - Bomu Bomu no Mi
Miss Valentine, Mikita - Kilo Kilo no Mi

That's ten altogether, with three being accounted for (one eaten, two users still alive). Meaning there are seven users who have an unknown status.

Mina, Yu, Fop, Hat and Sunglasses would l disagree with you there. I doubt they would have joined the Marines so easily if some part of them didn't see Flashman as a worthy guy to be around.

WE’LL FIND OUT

>161, 70 Tashigi v 80, 134 you (includ8g dual-wielding bonuses). Tashigi improving with dual wielding, you lose by a small amount.

You spar with Tashigi by the pale moonlight. Well, no, it’s daytime, but still. She’s still getting used to dual-wielding, not good enough to use a second blade in combat yet, but as a sword-freak, she’s a fast-learner. It’s kindnofmdisturbing how much she can learn just by watching you - even though for this spar, you decide to bring out Jitte-san.

He hasn’t had much fun in a while, after all.

With him in one hand and Ka-tan in the other, Tashigi moves on the offensive, keeping her blades as far out of reach of Jitte-san as possible. Not that you WOULD try to break her precious swords, but a bit of psychological warefare never hurt, right?

Apparently it does - while she doesn’t kick your ass, it’s pretty clear Tashigi comes out on top of this one, faking being worse with dual-wielding than she is, and catching you off-guard with sudden competence.

CURSE YOU, LIEUTENANT JUNIOR GRAAAAAAADE.

At least getting practice with Jitte-san against a dual-wielder is useful.

(Jitte +1!)

>cannonballs, 80+20=100

(Cannonballs +8!)

While Garp doesn’t join you for your important lesson in throwing goddamn cannonballs, you’ve got a good enough grasp to keep practicing by yourself. It’s all in the swing of the hips. And your back. And shoulders. And arms.

Also, all of them hurt.

“So I gotta ask, sir” you say in the evening, having caught Bogart mostly alone on deck. “How have you survived so long?”

“I assume you mean as a Marine, and not the honor of working under Vice-Admiral Garp,” Bogart says, face and tone blank of all emotion.

“Uh. Sure.”

“A lot of aspirin.”

You consider this. “That’s... that’s it?”

“And the knowledge that my sacrifices prevent chaos from befalling the world.”

“... I think you’re the real Hero the Marines, sir.”

“It HAS been suggested,” he agrees. “Was there anything else, Commander?”

Was there? Oh, yeah. “I’ve seen you using that iai stuff against Pinky and Chin in training, and it looks pretty useful. Do you have any tips for that, sir?”

Despite his standard emotionlessness, you could almost see a flicker of surprise in his squinty eyes, before it vanishes. “I do, yes.”

“....”

“.......”

“............. Could you tell me them, please, sir?”

He does, although you’re starting to think all swordsmen are secretly assholes. Wait - you’re a swordsman. Shit.

>cannonballs, 55+28 = 83

(Cannonballs +4! Gains decreasing significantly now!)

The next morning, you start the day by hurling cannonballs, as one does. It’s getting quite a bit easier, in both the throwing and the actual handling of them. You think you may well be developing muscles in places you were previously unaware of.

Maybe you’re growing entirely new muscles.

... This IS the Grand Line, after all...

In any case, you can feel yourself improving in the aim and distance, though you’ll need to work on your body more to get significant improvements. Skill can only take you so far in throwing giant lumps of metal, after all.

>iaaaaaaaaaaaai, 97+33 (general swordsmanship) = 130

(Gained trait Iaidon’t Suck (Low)! - +5 bonus to unsheathing and cutting (and resheathing if necessary) in a flash!)

Taking the tips from Bogart, you decide to put it into action.

Stand.

Breathe.

MOVE-

.... Oh, okay. That was easy, you think, as you watch the poor piece of fruit you hung as a target fall to the deck in two pieces.

“What the fuck...” one of Garp’s infantry mutters. Another pats him on the back.

You shrug, and attach another apple to the post. Gotta git gud, right?

>>3449224
We're 6 months out of academy AND going up against a swordswoman with more experience than us and a better sword that us + an experienced Royal guard who's the right hand of the king who's also got decades of experience on us.

With a weapon that we only picked up like 2 months ago.

>129 v 135 v 151

Tashigi, Curly and you. Squaring off in defiance of all common sense - Tashigi's swords at close range, your fans at mid-range, and Curly's guns at BULLETS range.

"I have no idea how this is even going to work," Tashigi says, as a massive space is cleared.

"With a lot of running around," you suggest. Curly, while clearly intends to just stand around and shoot at you both, looks smug.

When the moment is decided, the three of you blaze into action. It is, naturally, absolute chaos. Both you and Tashigi are trying to avoid AND close-up on Curly - a wary and temporary truce based on not wanting to go at him alone, one of you attracting his attention while the other tries to angle behind him.

Despite this, Curly's blanks eventually hit close enough to Tashigi that she has to admit she's 'out', which you take prompt advantage of by crouching down and slamming both fans out at Curly's legs as he starts to turn to deal with you.

He pauses, looking down at the chains wrapped securely around his ankles, ones you could easily pull him off-balance with. Then you finger-gun at him.

"You realize, mi-mi-mi, you couldn't have done this is your been fighting me alone?"

"A win is a win," you chide, and finger-gun ever harder.

(General Fitness +1!)

(All right, guys, we're heading to Jaya. That means DISGUISE TIME. You will ONLY be meeting Usopp (of the Strawhat crew, anyway), and will change back into uniform before you do Skypiea. In order for Usopp shenanigans, jitte/fans must be hidden. Pistol, swords and meteor-hammer are fine. SO.)

The lurkers seem to only come out only in times of major decisions that could change the very nature of the quest. Like which outfit we wear!

Not entirely wise.

>>3449446
What are you talking about? We've never met Usopp at all. We did manage to knock out some scrub whose identity we shall never uncover but we've yet to encounter the long-nosed mastermind with 8000 men under his wing.

Yeah, our boot introduced him to a wall.

>>3449437
It's literally the most important decision in the entire quest, it's understandable.

>>3449438
I'm really hoping people will be mature enough not to samefag. There'll be plenty of opportunity for shirtless or costume change in the future - hell, I don't even mind making Mysterious Hero one of your new defaults alongside he white-suited one. Or even go shirtless and take after papaSmo!

Well duh, JUSTICE trumps ectoplasm anon, everyone knows that.
>>
>>3449476
Let me have my dreams, anon.

Okay, so with that correction, it's 12 to 10 for Mysterious Hero Flashy. That said, I am totally willing to let you be shirtless all the way through Skypiea if you guys like (and then if you wanna let Fop know you're a guy, we can sort clothing or shirtlessness out from there, but let's get through Jaya and Skypiea first.)


Also EMERGENCY ACCOUNCEMENT, I've mentioned this a few times before, but it bears repeating. This is the fourth OPBP Quest on the board, I'm allowed a maximum of 5. I'll see about running this thread longer than 1000 comments and hopefully the oldest of these threads will drop off soon, but if we end up with thread 5 on the board and it moves quickly, we might have to take a break for a couple of days or more. I dunno.


ALL RIGHT. Closing votes and tallying for weaponry.
>>
>>3449499
It's limited by IP.
Not to punish very active quests but to prevent people spamming a slow board to oblivion with shitposts.
I think.
If your IP is dynamic then when posting the thread it should be fine.
Also you can probably get one of us to post the OP anyway if worst comes to worst.
I highly doubt any mods will give half a shit regardless.

Is there absolutely (heh, 'Abs'olutely) anything you guys want to do on the last morning before you ship out to Mocktown with Curly and Tashigi? You'll already be looking at bounties before you go.

>>3449524
Hm, based on the fact 10 or 11 people wanted to take some kind of sword (Ka-tan, Cut-chan or a random cutlass), I guess that's possible. Unless anyone just wants meteor-hammer and Pistol-chan.

Finally, the day comes for arriving at Jaya. You haven't caught up with Smoboss on the way - he's lost the Strawhats (or they've lost him), distracted by thrashing some other randon pirate crew they caught up to. At least he got some stress relief. You can't imagine how bad the poor crew must be getting it...

In any case, the Strawhats MUST have landed at Jaya to reset their Log Pose, and they're most likely to be in Mocktown, which is apparently pirate central.

So while Garp's ship is following their Eternal Pose towards Marineford, and Smoboss is detouring for supplies at a nearby base (you can only imagine how much that's pissing him off), you, Tashigi and Curly are heading ashore.

... You suspect that when Smoboss arrives in a couple of days or so, he's going to arrest every single pirate in town, which simultaneously scares and excites you.

More importantly, being in pirate heaven for a few days means not being a Marine, which means... Disguises.

.... fuck yeah.

"Are you sure it's better than last time?" Tashigi presses a finger carefully against her- no, HIS stubble to check it's dry.

"You look so handsome and manly," you tell 'him', giving a thumbs-up as you pop the lid back on the market pen. "All the lady pirates are gonna swoon over you~!"

Tasharry smiles sweetly at you. "Thank you, Flashman! I'm sure all the male pirates will like your own face, too."

.... You change your thumbs-up into a middle-finger-up.

"How old are you two, again?" Curly's getting his own disguise on, which is totally boring and doesn't involve facial hair. Lame.

"Nineteen," you both say.

"But I'm older," you add.

Tashigi glares at you, folding her arms. "I was born in the morning. Do you even know the exact time of your birth?"

"An hour before you, Lieutenant Junior Grade Tashigi," you answer sagely, having absolutely no idea.

Tashigi kicks you.

"So you're both nine, mi-mi-mi," Curly mutters, packing away his normal clothes. "Now - as, hm, convincing as our disguises are, we all need to be on the same page as regards our backstory. Hopefully no-one will question us, but a few basic facts we can all agree on may be helpful. We must also have our names decided on beforehand."

"That makes perfect sense," agrees Tashigi, because she's a filthy suck-up. "I'll be Shigure."

"That's a woman's name."

She pauses. "Tsurugi. It's unisex, and close enough to my own name I won't be confused."

... That's totally with the kanji for sword. You just know it. "Uh-huh. What about you, Curly? You could use that 'Igaram' nickname people call you."

There's a pause as the others obviously think about what a great idea this is, before Curly says, "Actually, I think I'll go with... Guard."

Boo. Unimaginative. Personally, you'll be...

>Pick yer pirate name, yaaaaarrrr!

>Mysterious Hero Arthur!
>Of the Mi-Mi-Mi Pirates, led by Captain Guard. Yaaaar!

You set out to see in a pea-green bo- Wait, no, it's a normal brown one, and devoid of Marine symbols. You DO stick up a quick jolly roger, because you find it funny.

"You realize we're only using these disguises for a couple of days... Arthur?" Clearly Tsucarpeti is still bitter over finding out you're older than he- him. As expected of one still so young and immature.

"We must get deep into character," you wisely inform him, tugging your jacket's overlarge collar up. "So deep. So deep we drown in it."

"We really don't have to, mi-mi-mi," Guard assures. He clearly knows nothing about undercover work, so you shoot him a condescending loom. Then you remember you've just covered half your face, and sulk instead.

"Let's check the bounties before we get to land," Tsucarpeti quickly says, grabbing today's paper from where it's slung over a bench. "Just in case we spot someone major there!"

"Really? Apart from the Strawhats, I doubt we're gonna see any big-names there."

"Apparently a pirate by the name of Blackbeard is around this area," Guard muses, as your younger subordinate flicks through the paper. "He was originally one of Whitebeard's men."

You try not to panic. "GOSH, WHITEBEARD, HUH? GOOD THING I'VE NEVER PISSED THAT DUDE OFF, HAHA!"

Guard frowns. "How did you aggravate Whitebeard, mi-mi-mi?"

"HAHA WHAT?"

"Found the Strawhats!" Tsucarpeti cheers, holding up the posters. "Strawhat Luffy, 70,000,000 - Demon Blade Zoro, 25,000,000 - Cheapshot Sanji, 40,000,000 - Thief Witch Nami, 20,000,000 - Sandstorm Kohza, 15,000,000 - there's that massive deer Mink they have as well, although it's only a sketch; Monster Chopper, 10,000,000."

Guard leans in. "And none for the Princess or Carue?"

"None for the hostages, no," Tsucarpeti says, straight-faced.

"Lolonoa's bounty is craaaaap~" you sing, utterly delighted. "Uh, not that I care. Being a fellow pirate and all. Yo-ho-ho."

"Perhaps leave the talking to mi-mi-mi..." Pirate Captain Guard suggests, as the Mocktown docks come into sight.

Wonder how Flashy will react when he finds out that the WG are actually incredibly obviously super fucking evil.
He's already doubting 'justice' and his own sense of justice meant he let somebody who was trying to murder him escape because he felt like he owed them and he sort of liked them.
What with the slavery, the treating people like dirt, the secret assassin corps, the constant coverups to save face even if they endanger people and the fact that they nuke entire islands if somebody reads the wrong book.
He might just have a hard time supporting the WG.
Also wasn't Mina a WG child slave?

It's only Admirals that can individually use a Buster Call, isn't it? Multiple Vice Admirals need to meet as a group and decide collectively to declare a Buster Call for it to go through if they want one, if memory serves.
>>
>>3451624
No, admirals just get a golden snail they can press at any time.
They can give it to others to press if they want.
There's no reason it shouldn't be a normal call to confirm.
Like, what if somebody stole one?
Admirals are strong but aren't undefeatable.
>>
>>3451624
The only ones who can unilaterally call a buster call are
>Five Elder Stars
>Commander in Chief of the Marines
>Marine Fleet Admiral
> Three Admirals (Kuzan, Aokiji, Light guy)

Everyone else needs to petition one of them for the ability to be bestowed a golden snail. But yeah the snails can very well be turned on by accident - that's what happened in Enies Lobby. (Spandam successfully petitioned Sengoku to be given a Golden Den Den, and then accidentally activated it while going for his regular Den Den).

>>3451645
>Stole one
Pretty sure the Golden ones are carried on one of the above people at all times, so to steal one you'd either need to mug an admiral / Kong / Sengoku (absolute suicide) or mug one of the Leaders of the World Gov (good luck inflitrating Mariejois)

The only people with enough firepower to take down an Admiral to snatch their den-den are literally the Yonkos / their top commanders, and like hell they're going to be caught dead using the Marines to do their dirtywork.

Ah right, I forgot about him.

But then I'd argue that the five elder farts have the most security surrounding them since they're literally the rulers of the world, so it still would be a hell of a challenge.

Also I'd expect someone would question a Buster call in the heart of the world noble territory, especially since the ones carrying it out answer to the world gov.

"All right! Let's go find a bar and start gathering information!" You don't bother keep g your voice down, because it seems like an appropriately piratey thing to do as well.

"Arthur, I think our Captain should make the decisions," Tsucarpeti says pointedly. The pair of you look at Captain Guard.

"Mi-mi-mi... Perhaps we should find a drinking establishment and gather intelligence."

Tashigi nods. "That sounds much better than Arthur's idea, Captain!"

You wonder if shooting her would be the piratey thing to do.

In any case, the three of you venture through the loud, stinking hellscape of CRIMINAL SCUM that is Mocktown, the pirate paradise. The number of bars and pubs are... high. Very high. Despite that, Captain Guard shakes his head at each one after a quick glance at them, before finally pausing in front of one that... looks pretty much like all the others.

"This one will have a good information-broker," he explains.

Tsucarpeti looks at him, impressed. "There's some secret symbol that tells you that?"

He points to the dusty window. "No, but there's a sign rating this establishment four skull-and-crossbones by IntelAdvisor."

"......"

"I really need a drink," you mutter, stalking in ahead of them.

As it turns out, the place isn't too bad. At least it's more of a drinking establishment than a 'barfights every ten minutes' kinda place. You sit yourself at the bar, followed by Captain Guard, while Tsucarpeti gets three steps before being accosted by a flirtatious barmaid fluttering her eyelashes at the confused not-a-pirate.

Clearly, your artistry skills are magnificent. If the Marine thing doesn't work out, you have a bright future as a make-up artist.

"What'll it be, gents," the barman grunts, eyeing you with dull boredom.

"Information, and your wine menu, my good sir," your Captain politely requests.

You eagerly jump in. "And a

"- Pink Flamingo!"

"Comin' right up," the bartender drawls, plunking an ornate glass down on the bar before passing your new Captain an elegant wine menu (with rumpled tassel along the spine). Guard seems delighted with the selection, judging by the eagerness with which he looks through.

"So which crew are you guys with?" The bartender doesn't slow down in whipping through the ingredients for your cocktail.

"We're the Mi-Mi-Mi Pirates," you proudly announce, motioning at Cu- Guard. "Led by Captain Guard!"

"Mi-Mi-Mi Pirates? What's up with that name?"

Guard shakes his head, still looking through the menu. "I have no idea why my crew insisted on it, mi-mi-mi."

"...... right." He finishes your drink just as Tsucarpeti manages to drag himself over, looking panicked, and throw himself on the stool next to you. 'He' has lipstick smeared across his cheek.

"Anything else I can get you guys before we sort out the information? " The bartender's cleaning away the bottles from your Flamingo now, still looking bored. "Children's menu, maybe?"

Wow! "You have a kid's menu?!"

"Arthur, no!" Tsucarpeti slaps you around the hat. "Please ignore him. He ate the Stupid Stupid Fruit."

"Yeah, well, your momma ate the Fat Fa-"

"A glass of the single-harvest Chateau Soixeme 1312, if you please," Guard butts in, eyes dead. "I quite desperately need it."

"... Want the whole bottle instead?"

"Dear sand-gods, yes."

You let Cu- Captain Guard keep asking questions about Mocktown and its scummy population of scum, while you and Tsucarpeti sip your cocktail and beer respectively.

The place isn’t empty, but it’s not necessarily busy, either - the clientele are more interested in actually drinking than conversation, which is why the door opening grabs everyone’s attention easily.

As with your entry, everyone’s faces turn to check the newcomer, hands carefully in reach of their weapons, before they relax and turn away once more.

Except for you and Guard.

Your Captain hesitates for a second at the sight of her, before going casually back to his questions - as for you, you try to sink deeper within your snazzy blue coat, looking as anonymous as possible.

It’s your sliciest, diciest fangirl, Miss Thursday.

Tugging your cap down, you shift slightly on your stool so you can turn enough to watch her.

She walks... pretty damn easily for a woman who just got two giant holes in her lower legs not even two weeks ago. Like, waaaay too easily.

It’s a little bit worrying. And relieving! But also worrying. Because... what the fuck?

She finishes casting a wary eye around the rest of the place, and you quickly look back to your drink as her gaze sweeps across the three of your backs.

Don’t look at you. Don’t look at you. Don’t look at you.

You hear her (walking normally) step over to the bar, next to Tash- Tsucarpeti, swinging herself up onto a stool. “Get me a whiskey,” she orders, sounding pissed off at the world.

You can definitely pull off a fake voice better than Tashigi. Mostly because she’s pretending to be an entirely different sex, and you’re just trying to sound a little different, but still.

“Rough day?”

Guard glances at you, almost panicked - yeah, he definitely recognizes her - and Tsucarpeti looks mildly confused but says nothing. She doesn’t look surprised; it’s almost like she expects you to strike up conversations with random criminals while you’re undercover. Is that rude? It’s probably rude.

Thursday scoffs, as the whiskey is placed in front of her. “Rough fortnight,” she bites out, before slamming the entire damn glass back in one go. Tsucarpeti looks awed.

“Sounds you need to rant. And more drinks,” you comment, like the manly pirate you are. Not as manly as Tsucarpeti with his magnificent stubble (and who the barmaid is still making eyes at), but still.

“Drinks,” agrees Thursday, motioning for another. “Plenty of ‘em. And maybe cut up a few idiots.”

OH THANK SHIT IT’S NOT YOU

Wait, you’re not a doctor, right? No, you’d definitely remember that. Phew.

“W-well, did they do a good job, at least?”

“Sure, before he ran away with more than I agreed to,” Thursday scowls, a third glass appearing before her. You think she might need another doctor soon, for her liver. “Drum Island assholes...”

Drum Island? Didn’t that place get trashed by pirates or something, a while back? And then more recently, there was... something about... snow? ... and a new king? Maybe you should pay more attention to the news.
