>>3859298Yes you can, just saw this. You can put it towards any technique and I'll give it the equivalent of a +5 boost.
I think we should go for weapon swap speed because it'll seriously benefit all of our styles of combat, and Klaus and BPQM said so.
>>3859406I would go for it if we hadn't lost Observation Haki. We need something immediately useful.
>>3859411I respect Armament and wouldn't be too unhappy if we end up going for it, but it gets consistently easier to train up every time we get a boost to it, and I don't think a 16% chance to activate it would be all that much more helpful than an 11% (I think that's where we're at, anyways). Although it is actually three 16% or 11% chance rolls...
>>3859385support
>>3859415We can only use Ray-san right now so our weapon switching just isn't very useful. I don't think it'll be as hard as Armament to train either.

Not on topic but what happened to our wound on throat is it healed? Do we sound like batman because of it?
>>3860264Think we spent a crit to make that miss
>>3860242Exactly.Additional cooking or a boost to a lesser used weapon is where I think it should go. Like the fans perhaps? Especially as it looks like we might interact with the person we learnt how to use them from again.
>>3860170Putting my vote toward weapon swapping, or alternatively whater has the most votes beside conquerer's.
>>3859280I'll put a vote to weapons swapping, conqueror's is a thing that should be given at BPQM's discretion since it is such a unique thing
>>3859298>>3859280Gonna support weapon swapping. Klaus does have a point about knuckling down and really getting good with our weapons, plus we need to give our ~eternal rival~ an aneurysm by fighting him with everything but our swords eventually.
>>3860382this
>>3860382I just want to see flashy use the Lance he got from sky island for once. But then again if he gets parried he’s screwed. However in one piece sword fights are more about flailing your swords against each other until one opponent speaks enough to use a special move. So Flashy might be fine.
I'm glad CH isn't winning, but why not put the points into something we can actually use? We're crippled and could seriously use the boost for the upcoming clusterfuck.

Cipher Pol doesn't slack on its funding, caw. The sparring hall is massive, walls solidly reinforced with metal, likely thick cawnsidering the five inch thick steel door that stands open.A cawple of agents are bandaging some nasty cuts, nodding to Weirdo briefly before leaving. A shame you didn't get to see them spar."No... maiming," Weirdo says, walking cawmly towards the centre of the hall as he draws Wado in one smooth - and not silent - movement. "No killing.

Caw.You... didn't mean to do THAT much damage. Even so, you draw your hand back carefully, casually, giving him a moment to recover, his silence bizarrely surreal. "You were within range if my chlorination," you rasp. "Surrender."Weirdo lifts the hand holding the smoke bomb tentatively to his face, his ruined eye, and flinches at the sight of red-white goop staining his fingertips, looking disbelieving for a brief second, before regaining his odd expressionlessness. "... This is... unexpected, believe it," he whispers. "But surrender... is not my assassin way.">... No, seriously, you should surrender.>You know what, caw? I just maimed you.

Kirizuma?""... If I post, Mr Karasu receives... Wado, master."The man nods, sympathetically. "Gambling away the meitou I pulled strings to get you, huh? The one I thought might make help you achieve mild competence. And if you won?""He would... arrange a duel... for me... with Commodore Klaus' disciple, believe it," Weirdo mutters, looking like he doesn't want to be in or near the Grand Line right now."Oh, I see." The man smiles, smiles, smiles. And then he loosens his hand from over Weirdo's, and uses it in a flash of movement to backhand the younger man into, and through, the metal wall.Judging by the sound of crunching bones, screeching metal, and crashing bricks from out of sight, Weirdo lost control of his Devil Fruit somewhere along the way."We'll be happy to accept that offer," the smiling man agrees. "Wado is all yours as soon as the duel is agreed, Karasu.">????

This is fine."What is your relationship with Caw-Madore Klaus?" Ray-san is still drawn, but you keep your stance cawsual, unthreatening.The interloper grins even wider, friendly and cheerful. "Oh, we're old friends. Even ran a dojo together, for a while! It'd be nice to match our students against each other properly, you know, but I guess Kirizuma got a little ahead of himself.

One of you can let us know when the arrangements are made - ask for Agent Corde. I can't apologize enough for my silly student wasting your time." He bows, quick but apprently sincere, still with that happy expression and gentle eyes. "As soon as I receive confirmation, you're welcome to Wado, but until then..." He shrugs, apologetically, then turns towards the Weirdo-sized hole in the wall, walking over.>Wait where you are.>Leave.>(Say something)>Other?>>3864304You walked right into that one.

Besides, it's probably not a good idea to try anything against a CP agent in the CP headcawters.You want to go see Klaus immediately, but... probably not a good idea either. You're not meant to be overly friendly with him, after all.Instead, you walk at a studiously carefree pace towards the library.

Updates tonight, don't know what time. Probably no updates tomorrow, sorry.
>95, good info hereOn a more general Devil Fruit front, research goes a lot better - there's plenty of research on them contained within their own section, and while most are dry, technical tomes, there's also plenty of interest to the layman.(Found various books on Devil Fruits! Gained basic to intermediate knowledge on all three types of Fruits, and memorized names/appearances/powers of the more well-known ones. Discovered legend that the Op Op no Mi user can apparently make a person immortal (and then die). That sounds weird. Found references to something called 'Awakened' Fruits, which seem to make them much stronger than normal... Also confirmed that all Devil Fruits taste as bad as yours did. Ick. Oh, and figured out Weirdo's Fruit is likely the Nagi Nagi no Mi.)>Go find Klaus.>Research (what?)>Find somewhere private and use Mr Speedy to call (who?)>Other?
>>3865611>>Go find Klaus.

>>3865611Go walk around aimlessly supposedly looking for our captain and accidentally bump into klaus and tell him everything that happened CASUALLY, I can't stress this enough,karasu doesn't give a shit about the klaus drama or his student, he just wants the sword and its up to flashman to deal with all the drama between the two swordsman
>>3865611>>Go find Klaus.>Naruto has the nagi nagiOi you have enough daddy issues already, stop stealing ours too
>>3865653You have enough daddy issues to share with eeeeeeverybody.>find your- sorry, FLASHY'S new papaNext stop: Klaus.By which you mean, next stop: totally not Klaus, you just happened to be wandering around and bumped into him, caw.Yeah, that works.Leaving the books on the desk (you're a pirate, you don't caw about cleaning up), you swagger-saunter-strut off a pleasant jaunt around the base, caw.It doesn't take cawfully long to run across your favourite sword-hobo (the super-secret Flashman part of you still feels a little giddy over his feelings regarding you, but you ignore that, because you're Karasu, and Karasu don't give no shits). Most of the area is restricted, so that doesn't leave much of Ennies Lobby that Klaus can walk around - you find him in the off-duty watering hole, arguing the merits of gin versus whiskey with a Marine, caw.... Cawcktails are better.Once the Marine is gone, you casually wander over to bless the swordhobo with your glorious presence.Now... how the hell do you sympathetically but discreetly tell him that his old enemy wants a student versus student duel with him?... This isn't good."Hey, bird-brain," Klaus says, looking amused as always by your gorgeous attire. "How's things?">??????
>>3865681Question in this cover up story Flashman is traveling with Smoker?
>>3865681Get him in private and then spill the whole beans. Leave revealing who the guy is until the very end so we can finish our piece.
>>3865728We don't have observation we might be watched.
>>3865708He's doing his "job" for once in his life and taking bounty photos >>3865681Basically we gotta be straight up cold with this info dump, karasu doesn't care and klaus is smart enough to figure that out, so we tell him the information, request that he arranges the fight between flashman and naruto with his old teaching buddy, and walk away and wait for our sword. We can comfort each other and cry later, because we're men and we have better things to do right now, men cry and are emotional on their own time, not when there's things at stake
>>3865708He split up with the others somewhere in Water 7. Maybe he's still there. Maybe he travelled somewhere else. Maybe he got eaten by a sea-king. Maybe he's sleeping off a sugar-high somewhere. Maybe he ran off to the orphanage to adopt everyone.IT'S A MYSTERY.
>>3865681>>3865739I will second this. We are currently Karasu, not Harry, and Klaus's issues don't mean anything to him. We need to trust that he's smart enough to realize we are putting on a show for whoever may be watching.
>>3865739+1I'm afraid he will go after him right away
>>3865681>>3865739This is the best way to handle it. Klaus is gonna be pissed but we can have a proper discussion later.
I just noticed that Klaus in weeb speech would turn into Kurausu.
>>3865779And he just so happens to be super sword-mang. He's obviously hiding a very long nose and his wings.
>>3865739As unfortunate as it might be, this is the way we'll have to do things.But we need to look him in the eye when we tell him the identity of his former friend. We know how important this is to him, and even something as subtle as eye contact can tell him that this isn't trivial to us either.When Flashman is serious, you know that the situation's serious.
Maybe we could try to deliberately feel apologetic and reassuring, and then swing between those emotions in an obviously artificial way a few times without letting it affect our speech?WE may not have Observation up, sure, but there's nothing saying Klaus isn't using it.
>>3866027Karasu shouldn't even know this is a sensitive issue. It sucks but we need to treat this like we're just asking for a favor.
>>3866027Whose to say that he's the only one with observation haki on?Nah man ,gotta go coldsteel on this one
>>3866027But what about anyone who may be watching us. Like say a certain secret agent McMurderingFuckFace?
>>3866062You just know Fuckface McMurderBetrayal is sitting outside hugging the wall. Why wouldn't he follow the guy who apparently can get in touch with his old buddy Klaus?
>>3866064Yo where the fuck did that come from? Finally decide to post it eh 4chan? Jesus Christ.
>>3866027Klaus is a smart dude, and perceptive to boot. I'm sure making eye contact while we say it will be enough to clue him in that something is wrong, and after that he can fill in the details for himself.
>>3866064>>3866283>>3866293You realize that IDs are a thing right? To prevent multiple votes from the same person? I don’t get what you want, why argue with yourself? Explain this train of thought, what inner machinations have lead you down this brick road paved with weathered threads of idiocy and power fantasy? Do you want to use observation or use subtlety to hint to klaus? Say it in one post. You utter waste of organic matter.
>>3866330Nigga I was commenting how my shit didn't post for over two hours until I posted a new thing under the assumption 4chan ate my other post. How fucking paranoid of samefagging are you that your first instinct is to jump to pointing out IDs. Perhaps your over-analyzing has led you to the false conclusion that I am scatterbrained or devious and that has now betrayed you. In the future you milksop you may find it beneficial to instead entertain multiple perspectives rather than closedmindedly make leaps in logic? I daresay my cat has better deductive prowess than you.It was just shitposting btw. It's afterhours funtime.
>>3865681>>3865739This. We all know that Cipher Pol are the shadowy spy division after all, plus our observation is down so we have no idea if we're being spied on.
>>3866490Hey I dont read one piece. Is there a way to block observation besides just actually controlling your emotions? Can you put armament haki on your brain or something?
>>3866526The only guaranteed way to counter Observation Haki is with a stronger Observation Haki of your own. You can trick it with mind games like controlling your emotions, but cleverness can only get you so far. In the end, the best way is to overpower it. And given that this guy is in the hierarchy of the World Government's secret assassination squads, I'm gonna guess that he has a leg up on Flashy.
Updates tonight, not sure what time Britbong. Hopefully shouldn't be too late tonight.

>>3869856I worked past midnight the past two days, let me die in peace.My ghost will be updating soonish. Please press F to pay disrespect.
>>3865779Good job spotting the upcoming plot twist where Klaus was the one who abandoned Karasu to be raised by crows. Dramatic, I know.>hide your fee-fees like a boss (or pirate)You... of course you need to tell him. ASAP. But also you need to stay in-cawracter, because this is Spy Central, and probably at least some of them have Observation.You're Karasu, and Karasu don't give much of a cawrap about Klaus, let alone have knowledge of his... history with Creepy McMurderface.So you gotta be a dick, caw. A bird-dick, even.You gracefully perch yourself in the filthy human way next to the sword-hobo you barely know, as blasé as you can manage."I sparred the man who received Wado," you say, cawnversationally, "and he was appallingly weak. However, in return for removing the blade from his unworthy ownership, caw, his teacher has requested a duel between one of his own students, and your Flashman."Klaus stares at you, blank-faced, over his glass of... whiskey, Maybe? Caw. "Gosh. Gee. Tricky. But I guess it can be arranged."Yaaaaay. Whoopeeeee. Celebrations. Now comes the part you're not looking forward to."The teacher in cawestion seems to know you," you add, admiring the charming woodgrain of the table. "Apparently he used to run some sort of school with you, caw."Klaus freezes up. For the barest of seconds. Then his hand curls gently around his glass, body relaxed. "Oh? Is that so? Thanks for letting me know, bird-brain."...... Highly unexpected."I'm very imcawmative," you tell him, a little uncertainly, trying not to be relieved he hasn't suffered a meltdown or run off to kill Cheery Axmurderer, caw. At least, you THINK he hasn't suffered a breakdown. The lack of Observation is highly incawnvenient.Klaus just smiles and nods, as you try to ignore his pleasant expression and the faint gleam of something worrying in his eyes.This cawd be a problem.Still, he's a smart guy, and if he's going to murder someone, caw, you're sure he'll be discreet or at least give you a heads-up first. Maybe Mr Stealthy actually outranks Creepy, and would be willing to dispose of him for you. Hmm.Ah, well. Karasu doesn't care, remember?>Get drunk.>Talk to sword-hobo more (what?)>Seek out (who/what?)>Other?
>>3866526>>3866938Just want to add here that reading specific emotions like Flashy does is not really a regular canon skill for Observation. It's just that Flashy has a natural bent towards it, and has put so much effort into learning how people's emotions feel, that he's a lot better at it than most Observation users who mainly it for combat. Sure, Flashy uses it for combat (or cawmbat) too, but his real strength is emotion-detecting bullshit.He doesn't seem to realize this is a him-thing and not an everyone-with-Observation-thing.
>>3869888Ⅎ>>3869898>Seek out (who/what?)Mihawk. Inform him that his boat is sorted.
>>3869898>Report to the Cawptain Mihawk.

>>3869900And this is the man who currently owns the "my observation haki radius is 'Yes'" fruitWas this... Was this wise?
>>3869977It's Flashman, the answer should be obvious.
>>3869974Because Flashy.... Although being a Charlotte kind of explains why Flashy's tastebuds are his (horrifyingly) favourite way to explore the world, so I guess yes. I think I actually started it BEFORE we confirmed his mother though, so it was wonderfully convenient.>>3869977HA HA HA HA HA HA HA oh seasus
>seek out your chuun- uh, beloved CawptainNext on your to-do list: inform your Cawptain that while Wado isn't in your possession just yet, it soon will be, caw!... As soon as you've figured a way to ditch your disguise and fight as Flashman. Hm. Cawkward.Well, whatever.You swagger-saunter-strut-caw away, leaving Klaus looking pleasantly happy and likely plotting murder. Good for him, caw.Acawsting a random human lets you know that your Cawptain is sitting atop one of the top buildings on the flat roof, likely being overdramatic, caw. This is totally majestic and inspiring, and absolutely not something for you to giggle hysterically over one day. Oh, Cawptain. How regal.Making your leisurely way up the stairs... and more stairs... and more stairs... man, Zolo would hate this place, caw, not that you've ever met him - you finally emerge to see your Cawptain lounging imperiously against a chimneystack, sipping at a glass of red wine.

>>3870105>>I duelled Wado's wielder, caw. He was weak, so I pecked his eye out. Praise me.I thought we only researched the boat thing? I don't think Karasu should be talking about it either. We're surrounded by Cipher Pol so we need to be paranoid.
>>3870191I'm pretty sure we got it all figured out. And paperwork for our captain is definitely something we are ok talking about. Like it's not something secret they definitely already know we did it.
>>3870202I must have missed something. I know we researched it but I assumed we had to be Flashy to actually get the paperwork done.
>>3870254You've researched it, you haven't actually done any paperwork for it though.
>>3870105>>I duelled Wado's wielder, caw. He was weak, so I pecked his eye out. Praise me.No mention of paperwork if it still isn't done, unless he brings it up.

>>3870105>>I duelled Wado's wielder, caw. He was weak, so I pecked his eye out. Praise me.this is perfect
>>3869888Then say so: if you promise an update then disappear we have no way to tell if something actually happened.I am sure most of us know what's like feeling like a zombie because of lack of sleep and exertion, so it's not like you'll get eaten alive (or half-dead) >>3870105>I duelled Wado's wielder, caw.

Stare-worthy.Your Cawptain stares as well, occasionally taking a languid sip of wine.You stare.Your Cawptain stares.You keep staring.Your Cawptain keeps staring.Your eyes narrow. "One day, sky...""Hm?" Your Cawptain pauses, wine-glass frozen at his lips."Uh. Nothing." QUICK, DEFLECT. "In other news, I duelled Wado's wielder, caw. He was weak, so I pecked his eye out. Praise me."Your Cawptain takes that halted sip, swallowing leisurely. "No."... As expected of your Cawptain! "N-no even a little praise, caw?""If you can't even beat the local trash, you have no place on my crew." He keeps gazing out to sea, no doubt thinking some awe-worthy and deep thoughts. "Where's Wado now?"You try not to slump. "It's, ah... still in Cipher Pol hands, caw, until one of their agents fights a duel with Harry Flashman.""..............." your Cawptain pointedly says, face turning to gaze upon you instead. Cawreepy eyes are cawreepy.You try not to look embarrassed over how stupid your life is. Which is, naturally, when Mr Speedy starts ringing from inside your magnificent cawoat.Uh..."No-one will spy on us up here," your Cawptain drawls, still sounding utterly bored. "I already had... words with the last one that tried."... Poor bastard.Still, with the slightly worrying reassurance of your Cawptain, you tug your den den out, giving him a brief pet, and answer to -"Brat. Where the hell are you?"- Smoboss?

Totally casually! Cawsually, even! "How did you know about m- him. I meant him. Caw."SHITYou beak - no, BREAK out into a totally spontaneous and not at all convenient coughing fit requiring you to clear your throat about five times.Phew.Safe."... Brat, did you just say 'me'?".............. Cawrappity crap. You bite your lip. "I didn't actually finish saying that, no." Besides you, Mibird sighs deeply, eyes closed as he solomnly shakes his head.Asshole."I..." Smoboss, amazingly, doesn't sound like he's going to come over there and murder you. Yet. It's more bewildered. "This is- you know what, I'll get your report when you're back on board and I'm drunk enough to hear it. You ARE still a Marine, right, idiot?" Maybe that part sounds a little sarcastic."Yes! Of course!" You resist the urge to straighten up and salute in sheer affront. "This is just a temporary...""Insanity?""Uh, no, that part's kinda permanent."He snorts. "Yeah, makes sense. All right, seeing as the Brass thinks you're nearby in Water 7, they want you to take a picture of... Karasu... for his file, in case he leaves Mihawk's crew. So congrats on getting assigned to take a picture of yourself, you complete disaster."You shoot a thumbs-up at Mr Speedy's eyes, which tell you that Smoboss has gone past caring and into the land of 'Dumbass Brat Did Stupid Shit Again, I Give Up'. "You're welcome, bossman!""Not a compliment.">Anything else while papaSmo is on the line?

All good?"Smoboss pauses. You don't need observation to detect something off. "Tashigi's fine," he says, almost carefully. "Getting not-awful with duel-wielding. Yu's aim is improving too, and she's somewhat less of a brat. Mina's good as always, Igaram's surprisingly useful, and Borgia is.. by-the-book."Igaram? Oh, right, Curly's fake name. Weird. And Borg- yeah, that's Fop. "By-the-book?""He's being annoyingly angsty, probably because of you," Smoboss bluntly states, Mr Speedy's eyes narrowing, "and if you don't get back here and sort him out soon, I'm going to have to find out if a jitte blow to the head'll knock some sense into his overdramatic ass."What's wrong with being overdramatic?!

>... Yeah, my bad. I'll fix it when I get back, sorry.>Can you tell him I'm making good use of Ray-san? Uh, the rapier.
>>3872078He's just confused cause he was attracted to us and now has to deal with the fact that we are a guy and his perfect romance novel storyline is gay now.
>really tempted to make him actually sexually confused over flashy now, because making characters suffer is funAh. Okay. "... Yeah, my bad. I'll fix it when I get back, sorry. Can you tell him I'm making good use of Ray-san? Uh, the rapier.""You are, or a certain pirate is?" Smoboss' voice is dry - you suspect he might have more than his usual two cigars right now. "Never mind, I'll let 'im know. I can't deal with all this emotional crap.">Don't worry, Smoboss, I won't let anyone know you're secretly a cuddly fount of schmoopy soft-heartedness! Bye!

>>3872313That's what I assumed it was since the beginning. One anon said he came so easily because it was exactly like a romance novel and I immediately loved it. A brave and dashing princess came and stole him away to the sea, entrusting him to keep her secret. If he didn't fall for flashy right then he was probably already gay.
>having re-read a previous thread, it actually turns out flashy DOES have a fantastic ass, so please disregard my more recent statement that it was average.You beam your most charming, non-shit-eating smile. "Don't worry, Smoboss, I won't let anyone know you're secretly a cuddly fount of schmoopy soft-heartedness! Bye!"Mr Speedy's eyes widen, flaring fury. "YOU-"~click~Aaah. There sure is a nice, gentle breeze up here. You take a moment to enjoy it. "... As soon as we meet up again, I'm going to die," you happily muse to Mibird, who takes another sip of wine, still lounging complacently."That certainly sounds like a 'you' problem," he says, bored eyes latched onto the horizon.You smile. It's not a 'you'-problem. It's a 'future-you'-problem. And fortunately, you're not yet him.>Hey, Mibird... any tips for my swordsmanship?>Wanna take my picture?>If I die before Zolo can defeat me, will you find a way to kill me again?>Other?In other news, fuck it, Fop is confirmed confused Flashysexual. You've convinced me. Thankfully, Flashy's lack of deep conversation with him means it should be easy to work in along with his original reasons for angsting, so for once Flashy's complete inability to investigate anything works to my advantage. ... Thanks. I think.
>>3872385>In other news, fuck it, Fop is confirmed confused Flashysexual.This is the best that it could possibly be.>Wanna take my picture?
>>3872385>>Wanna take my picture?He might actually enjoy it. Waiting for that perfect shot. Getting the perfect angle. Commemorating the moment someone gets bisected vertically. Or he'll say no.I'm sure his swordsmanship advice will be "Git gud".

>>3872396Definitely. Wonder out loud if his hawk-eyes are able to be used for the more precise art of photography.
>it's past 1.30 so likely last update, I need sleeeeeeepYou tilt your head to watch Mibird curiously, considering the camera tucked safely away in one of your myriad pockets. "... Wanna take my picture?"Not even a flicker of interest. "For Karasu's file, I assume.""You make an ass out of 'u' and me, but yes."He ignores your stunning wit. "Hm." The corner of his mouth twitches worryingly up. "I get to choose your position.">.... Okay? (This cannot possibly go wrong)>Never mind! I can do it!>Fine, but I get to do one of you, and *I* pick your position.>Other?

>>3872451>>.... Okay? (This cannot possibly go wrong)
>>3872549Maybe he'll have Karasu pose princess carrying a fair maiden like all bad novels have for their covers. Only the fair maiden is Ace.
>>3872451>Just remember, as part of your crew, Karasu reflects on you.
>>3872549>>3872851... I mean, I was just going to have you dramatically posing up a tree while rose petals and black feathers shower down around you. Possibly while holding a rose between your teeth.But these are much better, so I'm combining both of these instead. Kukukukukuku (that's crow for 'thanks for the shiny contributions, filthy humans')!Also if you aren't playing Gun x Glory, which has risen from the dead like a blue pineapple bird, yoi, go play it.
>mibird is the most evil of the Shichibukai"... Okay?" Your reply is tentative, sure, but you can't really think Mibird will do anything TOO bad. Karasu is part of his crew, right? So a bad picture... that'll just reflect badly on him. Yeah? Yeah. Absolutely.You are safe. Everything is fi-WHY IS HE GRINNING LIKE THAT OH SEASUS"Wait here." He stands smoothly, empty wine-glass settling gently on the rooftop. "Do you have your camera?""Y- yes...?""Good. I need to fetch something myself. Do. Not. Leave." The vicious grin turns into a smug smirk, as he turns (oh, what a lovely flowing effect to his clothing, you gotta learn that) and breezes down into the building like a man on a mission.To destroy you.......... Aw, nuts.>Await your... Cawptain? Are yu Karasu right now? You don't even know.>Look, he left all this wine here, and you need some way to deal with your upcoming torture.

>I'm horribly tempted to make that picture the new quest title imageYou await your... Cawptain? Maybe? Who are you right now? - with dawning dread. Okay. No. This is fine. Everything is wonderful. Hahaha. Yes.You preen yourself, not out of nervousness, but purely to look good for your dashing, suave and debonair photo opportunity. Plumage carefully arranged, clothes neatened, hair given a roguish brush-through with your fingers where it peeks out from under your hat.Everything is fiiiiiiiiiiine.... Caw.Your Cawptain (yes, you're Karasu right now. Probably) returns perhaps ten minutes later, with... Abs? Wait, that's Flashman's name for him. It's Firefist........... But why is HE here? And looking weirdly annoyed?Your Cawptain motions to the other pirate, who stands half-slouched and sulky. "Firefist here will be assisting with your photo."Firefist rolls his eyes so hard that it has to hurt. "Helping. Sure. Glad to."You're in danger.Those hawk-eyes narrow, mouth cawved in a smile full of strangely bared teeth. "Get up on the chimney, Karasu. Firefist will be joining you - he knows what to do."Uh... "What about y-?""I'll be at a good vantage point," he answers smoothly.(Rising terror +5!)Keeping your expression calm, you manage not to flinch or flee, you make your way up to the top of the chimneystack, can, a beautiful view of sea and sky behind you. No doubt the shades of blue and white will perfecty accentuate your majestic attire.Yes.This is all going to plan, caw. Definitely.Help."Apparently you have to smile," Firefist tells you, voice dull as he jumps up beside you, the footing awkward - how are you both supposed to fit, caw?And then it progresses.The part where your... beloved... Cawptain throws a bag high over your head and then slices it open with a wind slash, raining down petals around you (and your... cawgo) is distinctly memorable. You wish it hadn't been. You'd like to cawmpletely remove the memory of... the incident. In fact, you'd like for it to never have happened, caw.Your Cawptain's sword within his easy reach, and the manic gleam of sadistic joy in his eyes tell you that refusing would have been a bird idea."I hate everything," you murmur, proud smile forced across your face, as you hold Ray-san aloft, caw, sunlight shining off his blade."I feel nothing," Firefist says from your other arm, voice dead as his will to live. "Take me, rigor mortis.""Wonderful shot," your Cawptain croons from a chimneytop opposite, wide smirk visible beneath the camera he's using to cawrush your soul.The worst thing is, caw, it turns out he's really Seasus-damned good at taking photos.>Retreat to your nest and try to get over the trauma.

>you're not a cabinboi, you're a cawbin-bird... After a brief internal lamentation over your terrible existence and how everyone ever is out to get you (Firefist, meanwhile, had escawped as soon as possible, likely to either get drunk or hide in a cawloset for the rest of the time in Ennies Lobby), you try to find the humor in the situation. Which is to say, caw, if it had been literally anyone but you, you'd have been sniggering your feathered ass off.Obviously, you're going to gain vengeance, for the honor of your ancestors. But still.... Distancing yourself from the situation, it WAS kind of funny, caw. Plus, Firefist got the worst of it, really.Well, daylight's burning (just kidding, still eternal daytime here, caw!) - you cast a devastating scawl in the direction of your Cawptain, who seems singularly unaffected (and disgustingly smug) before heading off to get his paperwork done and sent off.Cawse him.The sweet, siren song of paperwork lures you in and soothes you for nearly two hours, caw, as you reqcawsition and fill out forms that the cawnfused admin staff didn't even know they had, and sent off via a soon-to-be-leaving package-ship. Once it's signed off - probably in a few days - the cawffin boat will be rebuilt. Stronger. Faster. Smart- no, not that one.>Get some training in (what?

I 1000% expect him to come up with some bullshit excuse as to why he can fulfill his end ever.Plus I feel that we should have a proper heart to heart with Klaus before we even tangle with his nemesis - at the very least so that we know exactly what we're up against.
>>3873279We're currently property of one Dracule.C.Mihawk who takes anything that has to do with swords super seriously. Not only is the backstabbing buttcrack not gonna pull anything because of our captains amazing strength. But he's also a greater asset to the world government as a whole scince he's the only yonko tier fighter they have besides the admirals and the face of the shichibukai,so basically if it means throwing a mid-level asset like him to the curb instead of upsetting their top-tier asset of mihawk they would do it without a blink
>>3873279If that becomes an issue, Mihawk might get involved. He might tell us to suck it up and deal with it, but with how he is with swords he might take offense to that. While we aren't technically his crew, the marines don't know that, and I feel that anyone would be loathe to snub him, even indirectly.
>>3873269>Read today's newsQuestion, as whom we send those papers? Karasu?
>>3873333As Karasu. You don't have to be a Marine to fill out and send off the forms, you just need a Rear-Admiral or higher to sign off on it.Update soonish for reading news, doing stuff.

>THE NEWS MUST GO ONYou spare a brief minute to peruse a newspaper after the paperwork is sent, and then (after strangling a screech, caw) read it more cawfully.- WORLD GOVERNMENT ANNOUNCES EXISTENCE OF SKY ISLANDS! -What.Of cawse, you're well aware that the Government has known about them - but to the lower ranks, and most of the world, they're a myth or not even that. Actually making it public, Caw? That's... unexpected.It's all a lot of bland self-cawngratulation mostly, with the really important parts being that the World Government wants to set up diplomatic relations with the various islands. Which sounds... suspiciously nice, caw. Either they think a cawrrot approach would work best, or it's blatant lies.... Cawncerning. Still, it's early stages yet. You keep your magnificent expression reserved, and move on.Huh - Alabasta is negotiating the allowance of the local spot-billed ducks to join the Marines. You're not sure how that would work, cawnsidering the lack of human speech, but you greatly approve of your avian brethren getting properly recawgnised.As for more locawl news - Water 7 has a brief article announcing the attempted assassination of the mayor, with the promise of more news as it cawmes. Yikes. And not long before Aqua Laguna hits, too.Tossing the paper down, you try to put your cawncern regarding a certain cute snake out of mind, and>go to the kitchens.

It's not like you need to find the duel any time soon, after cawll - you'll have to leave Ennies Lobby and return to other, more law-abiding identity.... Actually, Harry Flashman is probably LESS law-abiding than Karasu, caw. Oops.Unimcawtant!In any case, a secretary points out his locawtion to you, and you find yourself peering into a bland, professional office, lined with filing cawbinets, your target seated at his desk. He smiles warmly up at you as you walk in without bothering to knock."Karasu! Good to see you!" He puts his pen down, caw, setting it beside the file he's working on. "Any news?""He's agreed to the duel," you announce, sounding bored, "although it'll take a while due to his student's cawrrent travels, caw."Smiley nods. "Completely understandable! Well, I'll look forward to it. In that case, then..." He reaches under his desk and - holds up Wado, beautiful even in her sheathe, caw.

>>3873674>RETREAT>Wish list 0% interaction with mr.smiles

>>3873674>RETREAT>Watch for anyone tailing us.Time to get away, but camly. I am also wary our Naruto friend might being tasked with following us.
>>3873674>RETREATBack away without taking our eyes off him. Hes gonna pull something for sure.
>vamoose with dignity"Karasu cares not," you inform him, turning and sauntering away through the open door to the sweet safety outside, caw. You hope it's safe, anyway, as you feel his focus on your back.... You leave without incident. You cross the hallway without incident. You traverse across the building, keeping your pace cawm and unhurried, without incident.......... Huh. You... might be safe, can. Not that you'll believe for one minute that Smiley doesn't have a good idea about who you are. But is he going to let anyone know that?You try not to swallow nervously, as your grip tightens on HOLY CAWRAP YOU HAVE WADOOh cawrap, you have Wado.What are you supposed to do with it now?!>Go show Wado to your Cawptain. He wanted to see it, right?>Find some gift-wrap and wrap it up with a bow for the next time you see Zolo.>Unsheathe it and take a peek. It might need cawleaning!>Other?
>>3873745>Go show Wado to your Cawptain. He wanted to see it, right?then>Unsheathe it and take a peek. It might need cawleaning!i don’t smilopath to have not done some shit to it
>>3873745>Go show Wado to your Cawptain. He wanted to see it, right?
>>3873745>Go show Wado to your Cawptain. He wanted to see it, right?>Unsheathe it and take a peek. It might need cawleaning!Inspect the inside of the scabbard as well, in case he bugged it.
>>3873745>Go show Wado to your Cawptain. He wanted to see it, right?Cawptain can probably figure out anything done to it more easily then us
>>3873745>>Go show Wado to your Cawptain. He wanted to see it, right?Smiley definitely did something to it. Or it isn't really Wado.
What do you think the odds are that Traitor Spylad is trying to get a fight with Mihawk by doing wacky 4D Chess shit with Flashy and Wado?
>papamibird papamibird look what i gotFor the second time today, you seek out your Cawptain, partly because his reason for cawming here was to see Wado, and partly because you're paranoid.Your Cawptain... is still on the damn rooftop. And still drinking, looking none the worse for wear, although it seems someone cawleaned up most of the bottles. Is he trying to to dry up Ennies Lobby, caw?"Show me," he says, the instant you step out onto the rooftop. Cawnsidering he's not even looking at you, that's a little impressive. And scawry.One hand on her hilt, one on the scawbbard, you draw Wado in a smooth but caweful motion.She slides out easily - and looks... fine.No cawracks or stains that you can see. The blade looks good, although you've never been able to look at her this close and well for so long, before, caw. The hilt, too, seems okay, and the scawbbard.You glance at your Cawptain, wary, but he only spares her a brief, half-lidded glance before returning to his wine."... Well?"He shrugs, cawllously. "A good sword, as expected of a meitou."Okaaaaaay, caw. "But - no traps? No tricks?"He looks back again, arching an eyebrow dismissively. "Should there be?""He -" You pause cawkwardly. "Someone knows who I am."Your Cawptain shrugs once more. "Then kill him.">I can't! I'm not good enough!>I'm not going to try and kill a Government agent!>A good Cawptain would kill him for me, caw~ (sad puppy-crow eyes)>Other?
>>3873813>A good Cawptain would kill him for me, caw~ (sad puppy-crow eyes)not going to work but too hilarious not to
Hm, is Smilopath trying to get us to like him enough to be his replacement goldfish for Narutoassassin?
>>3873813>>I can't! I'm not good enough!>He beat up my dad!>He beat Klaus. I can't beat Klaus. Therefore I can't beat him.
>>3873813>>I'm not going to try and kill a Government agent!>And this sword is actually Wado, right?!I'M STILL NOT CONVINCED
>>3873813>you like drama mihawk, I'll give you drama!I'm not good enough yet, he was my sword masters partner at their old dojo, until he betrayed him and beat him in a fight after which he took all of their students and trained them into ruthless killing machines, now in order to retrieve wado I have agreed to cross swords with his pupils at a later date and avenge my sensei-dono-sama-pops and take him down once and for all. But he knows my secret, so the question now is do I attack him now and give up my honor as a swordsman, or do I wait until the fated and hope that his bloodlust and wish to prove his superiority wins out in the end and he doesn't reveal my secrets Oh woe is me!!!
>>3873813>>3873837+1, it's the Transitive Caw-perty
>>3873843>after which he took all of their students and trained them into ruthless killing machines,I mean, he actually murdered them all. But if that's what you wanna say, that's cool too.Nice angsting!
>>3873813> But then Klaus doesn't get his revenge arc!>
>>3873852Whatever happened is good, dead students or students who have lost their way are kind of the same...ok just kill em
>papa klaus... :(Frustration boils over. "I can't! I'm not good enough! He beat Klaus. I can't beat Klaus. Therefore I can't beat him." You try not to sound too whiny about it, even as you shove Wado back into her sheathe, teeth gritted in knowledge of your utter helplessness against one random Cipher Piece Of Shit. ... Caw.Your Cawptain looks at you again, this time with a faintly amused twitch of his lips. "One would expect you to be horrified at killing a fellow Government dog, rather than your lack of skill. It sounds like you've already considered the possibility of murdering him."... You're not going to admit to that, caw. Your Cawptain carries on anyway. "If the difference of skill is that great, there are two options."You perk up. "Yeah? ... Uh, caw.""Find another option, or attempt to kill him anyway."............................................. That's... the most unhelpful advice... you've ever heard..."What."He just looks bored. "Accept the gap and your judgement, and walk away. Find some other way to remove him as a threat. Or - fight him, and either push yourself through that gap towards victory and greater skill, or lose and never have to worry about he doesn't do with what he knows."Whaaaaaat.>So has anyone ever told you that you're screwed in the head?>Do you... think I SHOULD fight him?>As my Cawptain, maybe you should train me towards that greater skill, and I'd be better able to kill him. Hint hint. Caw.>Other?
>>3873674>Caw. Perhaps...>Skedaddle out of there!
>>3873889>As my Cawptain, maybe you should train me towards that greater skill, and I'd be better able to kill him. Hint hint. Caw.
>>3873889>>As my Cawptain, maybe you should train me towards that greater skill, and I'd be better able to kill him. Hint hint. Caw.
>>3873889>>As my Cawptain, maybe you should train me towards that greater skill, and I'd be better able to kill him. Hint hint. Caw.If we get better that means Zolo has to get better faster and once Zolo starts getting better faster WE'LL have to start faster bettering, therefore by training us he's training Zolo so that Zolo can do the swordsman thing. Clearly this is a win-murder-win scenario.
>>3873889>>So has anyone ever told you that you're screwed in the head?We already have a teacher.
>>3873892+1
>>3873889>As my Cawptain, maybe you should train me towards that greater skill, and I'd be better able to kill him. Hint hint. Caw.Hey you miss 100% of shots you don't take.
>as a crow, it's only natural you go for the shiny. even if the shiny is a trap.Hmmm.You latch Wado onto your belt for now, alongside Ray-san. "As my Cawptain, maybe you should train me towards that greater skill, and I'd be better able to kill him. Hint hint. Caw."Your Cawptain's eyes narrow slightly, wine-glass pausing before his lips. He speaks, voice dark and low. "Don't make me regret putting up with you, boy." And then - PRESSURE-->Roll 1d100, best of 3 to resist CHMalus of -30>>3873912Cawngrats on avoiding the trap. Not enough, though.
Rolled 66 (1d100)>>3873941
Rolled 29 (1d100)>>3873941Pft check this horrible roll. Be impressed with how bad it is.
Rolled 15 (1d100)>>3873941
>>3873947Oh nice. A 36. We manage to stay awake for a record breaking three seconds.
Asking him to train us was insanely disrespectful to Klaus. And we probably just lost what little respect Mibird had for us as well.
>>3873958Just like asking Smoboss to train us was insanely disrespectful to Klaus, right? Or learning stuff from Garp? Everyone has something else to teach. Limiting yourself is silly. Mihawk never respected us. But now we're annoying him. As is the Flashy way.
>>3873966Considering how Klaus is our swordsensei I do think it's pretty disrespectful. We haven't even learned everything he has to teach us and we're already looking for a replacement.
>>3873983We're not looking for a replacement we're taking advantage of the situation. Even klaus would benefit from training from mihawk and I'm sure he understands that.
>>3873983That's disingenuous. It's not like we're going to ride with Mihawk for the rest of our days. This is temporary and everyone knows it. Further, Mihawk can teach us about Haki whereas Klaus only tenuously grasps armament and is good at observation. Klaus openly admits he knows jack and shit about armament. I doubt he would see it as some gigantic unforgivable betrayal to utilize or at least attempt to utilize our opportunities.
>66 - 30 yikesYour head swims, thoughts jumbling into sheer emotion as the air thickens and presses down on every inch of you, your heart starting to pound, confusion and panic flaring as your legs weaken, the dull sensation of your knees hitting the rooftop.And then it stops.There's a ringing in your ears. Your bones are jelly. Your heart is in your throat, and a horrible feeling of dread is filling every pore, but at least - after somehow between twenty seconds and a year - you can think straight again.You swallow, tongue oddly dry, squinting dazedly up at the Shichibukai standing over you, staring down with a blank expression.>????>>3873966You basically juuuuust stepped over an edge here, and while it was partly through annoying him, it was also a lot about Klaus. Or more specifically, the fact you have a set sword teacher already.Learn combat from someone else? Fine? Learn non-sword-specific stuff from a swordsman? Fine. Learn an individual technique from another swordsman, or learn through watching/fighting them? Fine. Request general swordsmanship lessons from them, that should be the responsibly of the actual teacher? Not cool.He taught you the air slash because you were hungover, excitable, and he was feeling generous, but this was a step too far against his idea of honour. Fortunately, he recognizes you're an eager dumbass rather than actively running around being a dick, so this is minor chiding. It's basically a lesson in 'if you're going to ask for training, make it clear exactly what you want'. Or Mibird will get pissy, think you're aiming to become his disciple, and overreact.Dude probably gets more cocky young swordsmen wanting to be his student than actually challenging him.
>>3874004>Cawpologies Cawptain...>Skedaddle out of there!
>>3874004>Hey Cawptain, how'd you learn to sword so good?
>>3874004>Duly noted>skedaddle and reflect on your sins >or maybe find klaus and hammer out a plan for the situation>...also maybe write a will, ya know, for the next time you annoy a Shichibukai. again.Whatever, finally wado GET...these two in pic are, for now, fictional in a work of fiction, why the hell did I get emotional and ruined a perfectly good skit?It's cuz I designed and worked on them from thread 1 or 2, dammit i get it i get it
>>3874004>Sorry. This guy ruined my teachers life, so I'm not really thinking straight.We can still salvage this.
>>3874004>>3874046I'll support this.
>>3874046Dawwwww. It's because they are Precious Sisters. Together, they fight crime.And Wado is... well, Flashy thinks it's a nice girl, at least. It must be, r-right?
>>3874046Support.
>>3874004That's understandable. I was banking on him lashing out at us anyway. The best teacher is failure. As long as it doesn't kill you, at least. And experiencing Conqueror's again? And not getting knocked completely out cold? Much better than I expected.
>>3874046You did wado dirty draw-anon, I respect your choices but I reject your reality!This is what the pure white blade of zolo looks like!THIS IS THE TRUTH, DON'T LISTEN TO HIS JEALOUS SLANDER
>>3874086hnnnnnnngggg yessssssI say, while my nose performs a Sanji-style bleed. QM-approved!>hurgle-gurgle"Duly... noted..." You half-squeak, half-gasp, trying not to sway.Miha- Mibird cocks an eyebrow for a moment, then lets out a shallow sigh, body relaxing as he half-turns away. "You have potential," he airily states, not bothering to look at you. "Don't waste it by dying stupidly. You already live stupidly enough."Thaaaaaanks. Dick. You manage to force youraelf to your feet, legs still weak as you adjust your hat to proper jauntiness. Mibird wanders back to his original position and... goes back to drinking.... Well, you have no idea what the hell THAT was about.>FLEE to your swordpapa.>Verbally poke the Mibird some more (say what?)>Go to the training area. You can train several things that don't require a babysitter or using your bad arm.>Other?
>>3874106>FLEE to your swordpapa.

>>3874106>>FLEE to your swordpapa.
>>3874086>>3874057I too didn't want to admit the Truth, but it seems that Oda has the Blackest Heart of All:<<In SBS Volume 92, Oda drew Zoro's swords personified as humans. Wado Ichimonji took the form of a man with a thick unibrow, large nose and lips, and dark hair fashioned into a topknot>>That little png was not drawn by me. It was copy-pasted.I go to bed mourning what could've been....ehhh, maybe not.Oda does draw females in two bodytypes only, and one type will die a gruesome death for lack of internal organs.Nami and Robin are the most powerful humans in the crew to be able to live without a liver and most of their stomach.>>3874106>Sword papa sword papa tell me a story, like, how do we shank a bitch that may or may not already know my identity?
>>3874117You shouldn't put any strain on your arm for a few more days, and no actual sparring with it for about six days. Luckily you're ambidextrous so you're good for sparring one-handed with Ray-san, but no duel-wielding anything.As for Observation, you won't be able to use it for about two to four more days unless you reeeally try to activate it, which stands a good chance of screwing up and making things worse.Armament should be fine to practice.
>>3874123>Nami and Robin are the most powerful humans in the crew to be able to live without a liver and most of their stomach.>humans>when their belly-based organs are clearly stored in the titsThink about it.
>>3874106>Go to the training area. You can train several things that don't require a babysitter or using your bad arm.Train Metal Cutting
>>3874123Yes, but the important fact to consider here is that we can eithera) accept Oda's drawings of human-style swords as absolute, even though he deliberately draws them as ugly men, orb) make them hot women for this quest.I think we can all see the correct option here.>>3874142If only Fireplace had kept his organs in the wrong place as well...
>last update of the niiiiiiightYeah, best not to poke the not-sleeping hawk. Ahem - caw.Slotting yourself back into the Karasu mindset, you stumble off to find Klaus. It takes several minutes for you to feel cawmpletely normal again, but yu soon have full cawntrol of your body, only the memory of the... Cawnqueror's Haki?... lingering.Not fun.Klaus, it turns out, is cawrently in his room, one of the guest cawrters a couple of doors down from you, feeding Rodent. Or so you see when he cawls for you to enter, obviously sensing you arriving outside."Hey, bird-brain," he says, holding a sunflower seed out for the thrilled-looking rat. "Something up?">????Going to sleeeeeep as my brain is no longer functioning (did it ever?).

>>3874271I'm happy to throw behind this. We could do with some unwinding after all the busy-busy stress of the last... like, since we descended from Skypiea.Klaus seems like the kinda guy to empathise with "God, I am so 5000% done with this bullshit right now."
>>38742160phelia is Smiley, shocking twist!>being fla- karasu is sufferingYou scowl your most handsome and intimidating scowl. It ia absolutely not a pout. "That friend of yours has this weird idea that I'm your student, Flashman, Cawptain Mihawk just gave me a cawmbination stroke and heart attack, and I haven't had sugar in 24 hours. Life is pain. And absolutely nothing else happened, so don't bother asking Firefist Ace."And with that, you flop down on the floor, face first. Maybe you let loose a muffled, grouchy 'caw'. No-one could blame you.Klaus, who'd paused immediately upon hearing you mention Smiley knowing you're Flashman, caw, relaxes a little, giving Rodent a quick pat before carrying him over to... settle down on the floor beside you."Poor baby," your swordhobo coos, without an ounce of sympathy. "No sugar in a whole day? I don't even know how you're alive."You pou- scowl harder against the floor. Hm, nice carpet. "Did you just ignore everything else, caw?""Ha. Your... Cawptain is an up-his-own-ass dick, I'm not gonna be surprised he freaked you out some way. And Firefist... I gotta admit, I'm curious." His face tightens slightly. "As for my old 'friend', I'm sure I don't know what he means. But if he touches my student, I'll kill him. Simple as that." He reaches out to poke the side of your head, where blond hair emerges from the barely-holding-on top hat. "Want some candy, little boy?""... That's cawreepy, but yes."Klaus is your favorite person in the world, caw. You know this by the way he tugs not one, but two cawndy bars out of his greatcoat. "I'd say don't eat them all at once, but..."Not in one mouthful cawunts as not all at once, right? You sit up enough to take them gratefully, Rodent eyeing the snacks with ratty eagerness.>Say something (What?)>DEVOUR THE SUGAR WITH YOUR GAPING MAW. YOU HUNGER.>"Thank you, random swordhobo.

"Your offering to the great Cawvid Empire will not go unforgotten, caw."Klaus just looks tolerantly amused, caw. He's really been a lot chill since... well, your little familial cawnversation with him. "I'm truly honored."As he should be.You break off some chocawlate to offer to the delighted Rodent, who - after a brief glance at Klaus - scurries happily over to start stuffing his tiny face. He looks like he's in ratty heaven, caw.More importantly, you eat the rest of the bar cawself, sugar hitting your bloodstream like life-saving medicine and the finest Pink Flamingo in one.Mmmmm.

>meant to post this last night... and fell asleep. oopsWhile Rodent stuffs his face, you draw Wado's scawbbard from your side, holding it out to Klaus. Now, how to phrase this, caw..."Swordhobo, my master has found you amusing enough to kidnap, which is something he regularly does, caw. What do you make of this blade?"... Perfect.Klaus - swordhobo? Rat-man? - raises an eyebrow and gently takes the sword from you, running a quick but wary eye over it, ca-caw. Then he slightly draws it, glancing at the top of the blade - then more, though not cawmpletely, before sheathing it again."Good shit," he cawmpliments............... What an expert opinion."That's it?"He shrugs. "It's a meitou. I've seen a few, but it's not like I use 'em. Of course having a quality sword is a great thing, but it's not like a meitou means an instant win. I'm more impressed by skill."Bah. ... caw. "What about having skill AND a meitou?""Sounds nice, I guess. Personally," he motions to the twenty-thousand swords hanging at cawrrently awkward angles from his hips and back, the others resting against the wall, "I prefer not to rely on one precious object, rather than a dozen replaceable ones. But you do you, I guess. Meitou are good to have, I won't deny it, but they're not really my thing.">... Still shiny, though, caw.>(sit in silence. pet the rat.)>Having precious things is good too, caw.>Other?
>>3876203>... Still shiny, though, caw.>Ask about the presumed whereabouts of Harry Flashman so you can bring him to the duel. (Then mysteriously disappear.)QM. Quick question, with many of our weapons being made of metal, would it be possible to channel an electric current through them for electrified attacks or would it hurt the blade instead through the metal melting? I'm asking for when one of our weapons awakens, because having electricity running through your body can't feel very nice.
>>3876212Support
>>3876212You CAN run electricity through them, but it would be best to practice it first so you learn how to do it without ruining them. Klaus was kind enough to pick up some junk swords in Water 7 so you can do just that. Hurrah!

>avoid the moment, you're KARASU, CA-CAW"... Still shiny, though, caw," you mumble, leaning slightly to scratch Rodent under his chin. The furry fat-ass takes his rightful tribute of scritches with happy squeaks. "And... where is your student? For the duel, caw."Klaus opens his mouth, struggles to reply - probably resisting the urge to cawrack a joke - and finally says, "Probably around Water 7, right now. But I've got some serious training lined up for him, so he's sure as hell not fighting any Cipher Pol duels until he's finished with that." His eyes narrow at you, gaze pointed. "Or I'll kick his ass myself.""U-understood, caw!"You give Rodent a last pet, and run- no, GRACEFULLY and ELEGANTLY escape, at speed.>Seek out (Who? What? Where? When? Why?
