Wealth, fame, power. Gold Roger the king of the pirates obtained this and everything else the world had to offer. And his dying words drove countless souls to the seas.
"You want my treasure? You can have it! I left everything I gathered together in one place. Now you just have to find it!"
Yeah right. And fight your way through ridiculously tough guys like Jinbe, First son of the Sea. Somehow that part is never mentioned in the stories.

But no matter! After doing your business on Flip-Flop Island you return to the Grand Line richer with money, knowledge and a new crewmember! Of course things don't really go smoothly here in the pirates paradise, they never do. Hagetaka never left dry land. As a filthy landlubber she spent her first couple days being seasick, then once she got better she had to learn how to operate on a ship and how things work around here. This gives you an idea that maybe you should write down some rules for the future to make this process easier.

But after about one and a half weeks on sea she's finally starting to get her bearings. And now she even went ahead to do a little something for the crew, seeing how she can't exactly hunt with no game around. She took down your plain black flag and painted a symbol on it with Marcella giving her tips regarding how a Jolly Roger should look. Once she's done she wipes some of the stray paint off her forehead and stretches her back.
"There. Done."

"Oooooh! What's this?"

"I took the liberty of designing you a flag. It's important for pirates right?"

"Cool! But what are those arrows?"

"It's our symbol for the metal silver. I thought it'd be appropriate. So what do you think?"

"AWESOME! Let's put it up at once!"
You fly up with your new flag and proudly display it for all the world to see. When you come back down you hug Hagetaka.
"Thanks Angel you're the best!"

"A-Ahem. You're welcome. But erm, while I still have the ink out I have something else as well.
I've uh, seen your back when you were hospitalized. I can't make those disappear. But we can cover it with some permanent ink. If you want of course."

For better or for worse, they're a part of Silver and his past.
Besides, it's not like Silver has displayed any form of shame about the scars.

"Oh really? You know how to do that?"

"Yes. We do use a lot of warpaints. And some do make them permanent. But it may hurt a bit. Since I can't deaden your back."

"That's okay. Let's do it!"

You lay down on the deck and expose your back for the upcoming procedure while she's preparing several different colored inks as well as what looks like a brush with needles in it. She kneels down next to you and begins mercilessly poking you.
"I'm sorry. When I saw your back I assumed they were from a battle. I didn't mean to pry but your navigator did tell me about it."

"It's okay. I just don't like showing it off because I heard it's ugly. I've never seen it but I felt it."

"Well hopefully this way it'll be nicer to looks at. It won't go away but maybe it can be something you can be proud of."

"What are you making?"

"I, don't know yet. It's bigger than I remembered. I'm not sure what can be done about it. But your entire back will need to be covered for certain. We won't be able to finish today but I'll try my best to mask some of the bigger ones first. If you have an idea about what you'd want then I'm all ears."

You stay put for two hours as she keeps poking you with that pointy thing of hers. It doesn't really hurt but it is pretty boring. And according to Angels comments you do bleed quite a bit there. After she feels like she's done all she can she cleans you up and tells you to let it rest a bit while you heal. It'll probably take a couple more sessions to finish. So you got those to look forward to. But as you're about to walk up to Jaws and Toxin to show off your new back a voice hits your ears. Marcella is the one shouting after she surveyed the waters with her telescope.
"MARINES!"

All five of you then look in the direction she's pointing. Indeed it is a navy ship. One that's a bit bigger than your own. With considerably more cannons on it. For a moment it looks like they haven't noticed you yet but that quickly changes as their ship starts turning in your direction.

Jaws your helmsman is looking at you.
"Orders Captain?"

>Oh look! Marines! On my ship! Prepare for boarding!

>Their ship may be bigger but yours is swifter. Let's have a naval battle!

"Oh would you look at that! Guys! I see Marines on MY ship! I don't like it! Prepare to board!"

But as you're about to run up for the wheel you get grabbed by the collar and Marcella pulls you back.
"Just what are you doing? Do you think we can just attack those guys?!"

"Y-Yes?"

"They'll sink us before we even get close dumbass!"

"Oh? No problem then! I'll just fly over and handle it! You guys can come over with the ship once I'm done!"

Hook looks like she hasn't heard a dumber idea in her life before. But before she could voice her opinion Angel steps up with her spear already prepared. She thinks it's a good idea and wants to fly over on your back to help. That could work so you laugh and agree. At the same time Murray also comes down from his post behind the wheel. He wants to come as well as he's more than a bit eager to prove his worth.

"Kek! Okay then it's decided! Hook you know how to navigate so you'll take the wheel! I leave you in charge! Toxin do as she says!"

"Alone time with Marcella huh? Oh my.... please don't."

With the plan decided you transform into a bat hybrid and Angel jumps on your back. While the tattooing didn't hurt THAT did. And it's not helped by the fact that you didn't put a shirt on. At the same time Jaws jumps in the water and is already swimming towards the marine ship. Grinning you take off as well and do your best to fly with a passenger on your back.

Meanwhile on the marine ship their lookout starts to freak out.
"C-Captain!"

"What is it? Do you have confirmation about the identity of the pirates?"

"T-THEY ARE COMING! The pirates are ATTACKING!"

"WHAT?"

The marines watch as you swoop down and drop Hagetaka off at the top of the mast. She runs across its entire length and kicks the lookout from the crows nest. At the same time as he lands face first you land at the main deck, Jaws jumping out of the water shortly afterwards.
"Marines and Marinettes! You are being boarded! Please resist!"

"A bat? A flying zoan."
The marine in the fanciest clothes speaks up. You guess she must be the leader. She takes her cigarette out of her mouth and tosses it away.
"This will be more annoying than Hina thought."

Her men however don't wait for her to give any orders and try to repel you immediately. They take aim but before they could shoot you dive into their crowd and start causing trouble, knocking small fries around. Jaws does the same, cutting a swath through their bigger dudes as he's swinging around his chained anchor. Meanwhile Hagetaka jumps down from her elevated position and arrives spear first, stabbing a marine in the shoulder during her landing. Looks like she doesn't need much convincing to fight. They are the enemy and she will fight them. Good.

But maybe it'd be best if you actually gave orders to them to help them focus on something...

"JAWS! Move take everything that's not nailed down! Then take everything that is! ANGEL! I want this ship dead in the water! Cripple it!"

Jaws nods and breaks a hole in the deck with his anchor and descends to plunder the place while Angel using her mobility jumps up and starts destroying the ships sails with her spear. And as for yourself, you'll take care of the trash. The marines are already focusing on you so it's not hard to get all of them to gang up on you. As they come you realize just how different this is compared to fighting Jimbo. You recall how easily he managed to toss you around and understand that you're doing the same now. Using your enhanced strength your Zoan fruit grants, you start throwing them overboard at a rapid pace. It's actually kind of annoying how little threat they pose. Some of them start to panic and they fire their guns at you but the moment that loud "Bang" comes you just grab one of the dozen marines standing around and use him as a meat shield. They too quickly realize the disparity between your power and their morale tanks.

You take this moment to look at the captain in the red suit.
"Hey lady! Stop hiding and let me kick your butt!"

Suddenly the fighting stops and the all-male crew of the ship snaps at you.
"WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?"
They roar and begin insulting you one by one. They say things like "How dare you" and "Little shit". The captains eyes twitch and it's not certain if it's because of you or them. But before she could get a word in two clowns step between you.

"Now Jango. I believe we can't let that slide-"

"Agreed Fullbody my friend! Insulting Lady Hina like that is unforgivable! My most beautiful captain! Please allow us to take out this trash for you!"

She lights another cigarette nonchalantly.
"Do as you please."

As these two stare you down the rest of the marines feel confident enough to go after your crewmembers. That's not good but they can probably take care of themselves. As for these two... they are not much to look at. You could probably easily handle them. But they might not be worth the effort.

Well these two at least provide you with a bit of fun. You tell them to come at you already and they are more than happy to oblige.
"Time to show why I'm called the Double Ironfist!"

"You tell him brother!"

"That sounds dirty..."

One of them comes at you with a pair of knuckle dusters. He's faster and stronger than the average marine but still beneath your level. However this does make him perfect for a very particular thing. You noticed back with the gun shot that you knew exactly where the bullet was coming from and how fast it was. In fact you noticed this before. So now you can figure this phenomenon out with this Fullbody guys help. You manage to dodge him effortlessly with your eyes following his movements. So what if you closed them?

You can "see" it. The picture forms in your noggin' as if you were looking at him with your eyes, it's just devoid of colors and a bit lacking in detail. But it's perfectly enough to dodge him. Reopening your eyes you smile and start focusing on what you learned as Fullbody throws punch after punch and missing every time. He's getting angered by this.
"Damn it! JANGO! Let's show this monster the true power of our bond!"

"Oh yeah baby! Let's show this pirate scum what miracles friendship can accomplish!"

"LET'S DANCE!"
"LET'S DANCE!"

The guy with the heart shaped glasses moonwalks up to you and joins in with his weird yo-yo like weapon, which is a circular blade tied to a string. He swings it around trying to cut you. Dodging it you retort with a back handed punch which he slides under. Now he's behind you and the two of them have you surrounded. They keep pushing you around until you all end up standing on the railing of the ship. At which point they start humming and singing to a beat. Their moves become synchronized and their teamwork improves drastically. The way they move at once and how they're aware of each others movements makes it much harder to dodge them. When you dodge Fullbody Jango manages to cut your back. When you duck under Jangos swing Fullbody is read with the uppercut. Not bad!

"YEAH! LET'S DANCE!"
>>
You start taking them seriously and pick up the pace. Their singing helps you a great deal as it makes easier to track their movement with your hearing. After a few more rounds of exchanging blows you manage to pick up their rhythm and now it looks more like you're dancing with them. You continue for a while and the two marines start reluctantly praising you in between gasps of disbelief.

But you feel like you had your fill now so it's time to end things. You dodge a last punch from Fullbody and grab him by the arm. You recall how Jinbe threw you to the ground. How much it hurt. While you can't exactly replicate it, you know two things. First is the motion itself. Second is that just like you, this guy is made of water. Using what little you know about Fish-man karate you throw him on the deck and knock him out with one attack. Turning around you face Jango now.
"Now that's what I call dirty dancing!"

"Grrrr! You! What have you done to Fullbody? I should've know you can't dance with a pirate and expect him to turn good... oh wait! Well no matter! Time for you to pay!"
He uses his weird weapon and starts swinging it around.
"Follow the pendulum with your eyes! Now listen to my voice. When I finish you'll fall asleep immediately. One! Two! JANGO!"

Jango then falls unconscious right in front of you and falls off the ship, as he managed to hypnotize himself. However this doesn't mean it didn't affect you. Your eyes are getting heavy and you feel yourself getting sleepy. This is not good.

You feel yourself fading quickly. But knowing that there are enemies around leaves you with no other choice. With all the force you can muster you bite down on your own tongue. The pain is enough to snap you out of whatever magical spell that Jango guy put on you but it's not too pleasant. You yowl and quickly start rubbing your own tongue but with those bat wings it's quite hard. Meanwhile the captain is watching you smoking away and getting really curious.

"Jango may be a fool. But when he says you fall asleep immediately, you fall asleep immediately. Yet you held out long enough to break it. Hina is interested. Who or what are you?"
You morph back into a human to properly comfort your poor tongue and the cigarette falls out of her mouth.
"You? Cavalier Silver... Now Hina understands while vice-admiral Tsuru wants you out of the picture. Very well. Hina shall oblige. Hina will clip your wings before you can hit your stride!"
She puts on a pair of gloves and looks like she's now read to throw down. In fact she looks like she's about to charge you. But if those two were really her subordinates then maybe she'll actually be a match for you.

You stand there grinning like an idiot.
"You know my name?"

"Yes. Hina knows. But you must be the dumbest pirate on the seas if you boarded a marine ship with a bounty like that..."
She charges you with her arm swung to the side. Looks like she wants to give you an arm crash. Curious about how strong she is you brace yourself for impact. Couldn't be much worse than Jimbo, right? Well as it turns out she isn't. In fact it doesn't hurt at all. Her arm starts bending in a weird way. As she swings her arm then passes through your body, leaving behind an iron bar perfectly bent around your torso and constricting your arms. You don't know what to make of it as Hina casually walks past you.
"Congratulations. You just lost."

You start struggling and squirming but no matter how much you flex you can't make the iron budge. It perfectly folds around your body, leaving no room to wiggle and it's just as strong as cast iron, maybe stronger.
"W-What? Devil Fruit?"

"Yes. The Ori Ori no Mi. Hina is the Cage Human. That's where the name Black Cage comes from."
You keep grunting and exerting power but it's no use.
"Give up. There's no escape for you."

"I can break these cuffs!"

"You can't break those cuffs!"
She kicks you in the shin but instead of hurting you she locks your legs up as well. Unable to stand upright you fall over and have to wiggle like a caterpillar to move around. Realizing that you're well and truly screwed you try shrinking down into a small bat but the cage simply molds to fit your body. Then you turn into the massive hybrid form but the cage simply expands with you. Looks like there really is no escape.

Hina seeing that you stopped struggling goes to a box on the ships wall and takes out a den den mushi from it. She starts dialing and after a few moments enters a conversation.
"This is Captain Hina. I'd like to report that I've captured the 20.000.000 bounty pirate Cavalier Silver. We'll capture his men shortly. Please do send a message to Vice-Admiral Tsuru that her little problem will soon be chained up in Impel Down."

You look up at her.
"Chained?"
>>
You start feeling angry. Very, VERY angry. So what if you can't move your arms or legs? You could still bite her throat out. You can still fight! You can still resist! With renewed vigor you begin pushing against your bindings much harder than before, to the point that it starts to hurt.

Hina just gives you a condescending look.
"Stop this. At least accept your defeat with dignity. After spending a little time in Impel Down Tsuru will-"

But she stops when she hears something. The unique and unmistakable sound of metal being forcibly twisted. But that's impossible, she thinks. The Black Cage is by no means unbreakable but it might as well be for someone of your caliber. So why then can you bend it? The answer lies underneath, at the boards of the deck. A smoke rises from it as the wooden planks blacken. Fire. Heat is coming from somewhere, threatening to engulf the ship in flames. And the bars of her Black Cage are heating up. They start to bend more and quicker until they explode off your body in a shower of molten metal. You stand up your body relatively unchanged but the air around you vibrating. A mirage. Hina is frozen. She can't make heads or tails of this. She thought you are a zoan user, no you ARE a zoan user. So then how?

This moment of hesitation is your chance. She's strong but she's dangerous because of that ability of hers. If you touch her she may lock you up again. So you'd have to find another way to attack her.

>If you can't touch her, maybe your weapons can

I'd like to name the flaming bat form "Flame Point" but unfortunately that'd be muscling in on Chopper's naming theme. "Flame Bat" is the only viable alternative that comes to mind, as "Hell Bat" either sounds one degree too edgy for Silver or would be used for a Mythical Zoan.

..."Flame Bat" would be a fine enough of a moniker, though.

As you're thinking Hina finally gathers herself and throws her arms out. This time iron bars sprout from her hands and as they are swung around everything gets tangled up in them like in a steel web.
"Nobody escapes the Black Cage. Awase Baori."

But this attack is not like the last one. Now you're aware of the threat it poses and you see it coming. Listening for the whooshing sound of metal you evade them with your flight and land away from the black bars. But you're getting sick of this. You wanted a proper scrap. Instead you have to deal with nonsense like this.
"ENOUGH!"
The floorboards crack around you and Hinas black iron is humming with resonance. This reminds you of the first time you activated your fruit. That gives you an idea. You clear your throat and start screaming.
"REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"

Pretty much the entire ship begins to shake from your ear splitting screech but the most affected area is the cone right in front of you. Hinas cage disappears not because your scream broke it but because she couldn't help but cover her ears, which made the bars disappear. Wood splinters and breaks and things are flung backward immediately in front of you. The Captain hits a door and breaks through it without much resistance. And as you keep going the doorframe gets torn out of the wall as well. As you stop and examine the destruction it looks more like you fired a cannon than anything else. Though there is a bit more collateral damage than if you simply blew things up.

You walk into the ruined room and see Hina laying on a broken desk. Must've been the captains quarters she got thrown into. And although she sees you approaching she seems to be quite dizzy and her ears are ringing like crazy. It'd be easy to take advantage of her right now.

You look down at her. It'd be so very easy to subdue her right now in her moment of weakness. So you turn around on the ball of your heel and go back out. Checking the state of the ship you see that Angel already had her way with most of the sails. They've been cut but they aren't irreparable. They just won't be able to follow you for a while. She jumps down to your level and reports.
"Ship's disabled. The crew are either beaten or surrendered."

"Good. JAWS!"

The fish-man pops out from below deck with a bag stuffed with loot.
"Yes?"

"You got everything?"

"I think so. But there wasn't much. Why? Are we done?"

"I am. Give the treasure here. I'll carry it back so it doesn't get wet. You take Angel."

"Aye aye."

After packing up and Murray jumping in the water with your huntress you turn to look at the battered and beaten marines to give them a little bow. You thank them for their cooperation and urge them to send more ships after you because you could always use more loot. After that you turn into a bat-man and fly back to the Dauntless. After giving the crew the order to go full sail ahead you take your loot and finally unpack it to see what you got. It's... not much. Most of it is not even valuables, just books, parchments and other stuff like that. There are some weapons again which are not better than what you have and will be sold at the next port.

But amongst the things you got a few of the odd pieces of paper do get your attention.
"What's this? A map?"

"Nnnno. Looks more like a nautical chart. Look, these are all different routes. Must be navy patrols. Could be useful. Assuming they don't change them since we got our hands on this information."
Marcella observes.

"But what about this one? This long and squiggly one. Doesn't look similar to the others."

"O-Oh... I think I know what that is."

"What is it Toxin?"

"What kind of world government ship would go from port to port, hitting every single one? A tax ship. Probably they were meant to escort this ship originally..."

Your eyes begin to glisten.
"Oh really? A treasure ship you say?"

So with someone as capable as Hina going down and the likely hood of us hitting a tax ship soon how do we plan to handle the Cipher Pol agents that are going to climb right up our butts in the near future?

>>4524891
Blunt force trauma to the dome maybe? It seems to work on everything that has a brain. And even some things that don't.

Oh man, what i wouldn't give for Tsuru's reaction
>>
>>4524823
We could take that ship, then play the tax man with the Marine's support.
>>
>>4524909
While I don't think Spooks will just kill us there are many horrible things we could have to go through dealing with them. Though that is metagaming so i guess I'll stop.

Eeehh, Tsuru's seen enough to very likely maintain a good poker face. Maybe have it slip a little.
Less experienced Marines earshot of the recording, however, are probably going to freak the fuck out.
>>
>>4524791
Of course. How else would we make a Marine into a respectable woman?

What are you, some kind of creep?!

We should take the name 'Long John' Silver, if you get what I mean...

Silver wants to be tall. What else did you think he meant to infer?

What would Silver think about joining the Revolutionary Army? I don't think it goes against his goal of finding a name for himself, and some of his crew would definitely jump for it, but I'm not sure he would care enough about world politics to consider it.

Yeah. Then you get branded a goy and the Cipher Pol JIDF will come after you

>>4524891
WG wouldn't care about a marine captain loosing even to a relatively new group.
But IF you diddle the Celestial Dragons in any way like taking their tribute then yeah. You will get on their shit list very fast.
So whatever you do, you better do it fast

>>4524955
Yes. The thing to note about them is that CP are not fighters. They are strong, yes. But they are assassins, spies and saboteurs. They can make your life hell indirectly

>>4525137
Keep in mind, Tsuru is the one that called Hina to handle you.
While she won't be surprised or mad the sensation of "I'm so done with this" will intensify

>>4525201
Good. Degeneracy will not be tolerated. Only wholesome and depressing things are allowed

But sadly Silver won't grow any taller unless you buy a pair of stilts. His development was stunted by malnutrition and neglect

>>4525305
We'll get there when we get there.
But let's just say he doesn't work well with authority figures. If he was asked to join his response would be the same as Zoros was to BW
"Okay. If I become your leader"
>>
>>4525310
>His development was stunted by malnutrition and neglect

As was most of the characters in One Piece. If they can pull that kids nod of miraculous recovery bullshit out of their ass, so can we!

On a side note, since most people wouldn't be stupid enough to try and steal a tax ship, that just means security is lax, right?

If we just impersonate the tax man after we take them over, then no one feathers will be ruffled, right?

Until we decide to stop playing Shakespear and move on, that is.
>>
>>4525503
That's somewhat accurate. No people are dumb enough to mess with the Celestials. But that doesn't mean they don't have security.
It's there and it IS tough. Just not to the degree one would expect from something so vitally important
>>
>>4525546
So, easily within our malnourished reach then? That's good to hear. Wouldn't want it to be too easy now, would we?

Hina groans as she lays there motionless. She could stand up but right now she feels like sitting for a while. At least until one of her subordinates barges in and disturbing her sulking. He mumbles something at which point Hina realizes her ears are still ringing like crazy. She sticks a finger in and starts rubbing her ear canal.
"WHAT?"

"Are you okay Captain?"

"Sigh. Yes. But I need a light."
She gets a match from the Seaman. This might be her last smoke for the day even though she usually smokes like a chimney. Because nothing is going to beat this one.
"God. Alright let's get back to work! Tell the men to fish out Jango and give Hina a status report. Now!"

"M-Ma'am! Our ship is dead in the water ma'am! The female pirate tore all our sails to shreds."

"Fine. Then we use the paddles."

"No good ma'am. The wheel is also broken. We're sitting ducks. We already called HQ for help."

"And what about the fish-man?"

"We're not 100% sure about the status below deck. A lot of chaos-"

Just as he said that a man beaten black and blue all over the place stumbles in, his uniform hangs off of him in tatters.
"Ensign Jamal reporting for duty! We valiantly hid from the enemy! Luckily the fish-man was merciful. He beat us up buuuut not much."
He says that as if he wasn't about to fall over any second. Well, at least he's alive and didn't suffer any permanent wounds, only long lasting ones. All in all this was a complete travesty.

Hina finishes her cigarette before saying anything to her men. She needs to process this as much as they do. Why was she alive? Every scenario ran through her head when she got knocked out. Either the pirate was going to finish her off and that's that. Alternatively he could've tried to subdue her for a slow death at which point she could reverse things and make sure he can't use that weird scream again. Either way one of them was going to die. But for him to just leave like that? It made no sense to her.

"Anything missing?"
She asks.
"One of them had a huge sack."

"N-Not much Captain. Just some spare weapons and a few nautical charts which are useless without an Eternal Pose to navigate with."

Hina slapped herself on the forehead and groaned.
"Idiots..."
This is bad. With pirates like these ones the word "impossible" is not going to cut it. They'll find a way.
"I need to make a report."

She climbs out of the rubble and makes her way to the den den mushi she just used. It was still on. Great. More trouble. After picking it up and speaking she hears a voice coming from the other side.
"This is comms officer Bradley. May I know WHY is one of my men currently foaming at the mouth and bleeding from the ears?"

"This is Captain Hina speaking. I'll write a detailed report for both you and Marine HQ. You can deduce it from that. Oh... and one more thing. I have a message to Vice-admiral Tsuru. You can tell her to BITE ME!"
>>
She slams down the snail in anger. Shit. She may have gone overboard with that one. Still, this isn't what she signed up for. But she can't quit now can she? Not when she got tangled up with something like that. She can send her report all the way to the Fleet Admiral but the higher ups will just shut him down until the problem becomes too big to ignore at which point it's too late. But things may have actually reached that point. They got their hands at confidential information. Who knows what sort of chaos they can unleash with that? Especially that chaotic captain.

"O-Orders Captain?"

"Yeah... Listen up men! We'll have to wait for supplies and reinforcements! But after that we'll chase down those maggots! Nobody gets away with humiliating the marines! UNDERSTOOD?!"

"HOORAH!"

At this point Fullbody comes back with his unconscious buddy resting on his shoulder.
"Don't worry Captain! We're all behind you 100%! Even if he had such dancing that I felt compassion towards him for a moment... an evil person like that can't keep getting away with this!"
>>
Holy shit man I thought you were dead!

>>4527048
We are a Ghost-face Bat right? So if we have an attack that is named Pepper Bat then the stronger version would be Ghost Pepper Bat. And scream/heat based attacks could be named after the Alarm scale for chilli, the higher the number the hotter the blast.
>>
>>4527250
Like the scoville scale? Signifying the attacks strength with a number or heat level?
I dig it.

Maybe we can combine it with the already established sound one.
"0 unit whisper"
"10.000 unit scream"
How does it sound?
>>
>>4527257
I was thinking more like going from Alarm Blast to 5 Alarm Blast. Using scoville units for big attacks works but "0 unit whisper" just doesn't sound good, well I guess it would work for an attack that has some subtler effect.

Your eyes light up as do Marcellas at the prospect of a ship filled to the brim with shiny treasure. You giggle with her while Gu starts counting.
"Hmmmm. Would that be enough to buy new spoons? I'm starting to run out."

But as you're already thinking about spending the money you don't even have yet you get BONK'd on the head by Jaws.
"Don't even think about it."

"OW Jaws! I am the captain so we do what I say!"

"Not if it's stupid. Even if we were full on supplies, which we are not, we don't even know where we are. So before we do anything we should follow the pose, restock and get our bearings. Once we know which island we're on MAYBE we can think about finding that ship."

After hearing him out you decide it's all bologne and you'll go after the treasure ship anyway but a second BONK quickly changes your mind. So it's full sails ahead to the next island. The problem is that you don't exactly know how far that is. Turns out, quite far. Far enough for you to encounter one of th Grand Lines famous storms. For four days and nights you struggle against the elements with people rotating between resting and backbreaking labor on deck or in the hull.

But even though most of your sails are in tatters, even though your main mast is cracked and even though all your clothes are wetter than the sea floor, you survived. Yet the clouds did not part. It's still raining enough that not even you want to go out and play in it. But at least the sea is calm now.

"BORED."
You cry whilst locked in the mess hall with everyone else.

"So read your Bible..."
Marcella off-handedly dismisses you.

"TOO Bored!"
You headbutt the table. This isn't what you signed up for when hoisting the black flag.

You look around the room to see how your crewmembers are warding off the mindnumbing dullness. Gu is concocting some warm soup to revitalize the crew. But it looks like something died in it. Hagetaka is sitting at the other side of the table carving some wood. Murray is squatting with his back to the wall, several glasses of water are resting still on his body. And Marcella is reading todays newspaper, how she acquired a dry piece of paper is a mystery to you.
Perhaps you can help/annoy one of them.

You slide over to Angel, completely disregarding her personal space.
"What are you doing?"

"I'm carving a totem. It brings luck and looks nice. We used to sell it for a lot to unsuspecting tourists who don't know any better."

"Is that a bear?"

"Correct. I'm surprised you're so well versed in rare and exotic animals. Indeed it is the fabled bear."
Looks like an ordinary brown bear to you. If it were a panda or a red panda you'd have something else to say about it but as it stands it's just a bear.
"We have many totems like this one. All from the time before our great migration. So I've never seen any of them. We have things like the South Bird or the Great Serpent-"
Both of those sound infinitely more interesting than a regular bear. You'd like to tell her that bears aren't that special but you'll let her have her dreams.
"Would you like to try making one?"

"Actually I was thinking if you could finish my tattoo."

"Ah yes, I almost forgot. Certainly. But could you wait for a bit? I'd like to finish this."

You nod and watch her slicing away at the piece of wood. To you it already looked like a bear enough but as she continued it became more detailed and lifelike. It was less like she was carving an image into the material and more like it was already there and she just freed it. Once she's satisfied she puts down her carving knife, cleans off the table and has you lay down on it stomach first and half naked. She sits on top of you and begins jamming her pointy instrument in your skin with the same zeal she was carving the wood. But as you lay there you start feeling BORED again. This is nowhere near as exciting as you thought. The only interesting part is the tattoo being applied to your skin and you can't exactly see that.

Maybe some small talk would help pass the time.

"You seem fond of your old home. What was it like?"

"I've never actually been there. We moved away a long long time ago. Before me or my grandma were born."
She seems, it's hard to put into words what she looks and sounds like as she carries with herself a sadness you've never quite felt before. It's not quite like the sharp pain you felt before, more like a dull pressure that slowly erodes ones mind.
"I told you there was a sickness in our homeland didn't I? Nobody knew where it came from, some said it was because God was angry with us-"
That doesn't sound like the guy you know.
"Mostly those who didn't want to leave no matter what. They thought if God forgave us for the bad things we did he'd spare us. But some of us were... afraid. Those were my ancestors. They left our great home of Jaya for safety."

"But it did work didn't it?"

"Yes. And they never returned. Both because they didn't know how to and because they thought the sickness would claim them."

"Then that's a good thing. No? Why are you sad?"

"It doesn't matter. It doesn't concern you. But we are told the full story when we are little. We know what we abandoned when we left our home. You know, our home was more to us than a place to live. It was where our ancestors lived in spirit. And it was the place where my people had a very important task. When my ancestors left... they were branded cowards and traitors."
Angel is now sniffling as she tries to hold back her tears.
"Truth be told. Sometimes I wish they didn't leave. Even if it means I wouldn't have been born!"

"Well that's the stupidest thing I've heard..."
You feel a powerful prick as she jabs the needles into your flesh in a not so friendly manner.

"What. Did you. Just SAY?"

"Because if you were not born how could I have met you?"

You feel her hand shake for a little and then it draws the brush out of you.
"I'm... sorry Silver."

"For what?"

"Never mind. Do you have an idea for a design yet? I'm about done with the basic outlines."

"How about the sea? Can you do that?"

"I guess. But wouldn't that be a bit bland?"

"Hmmmm. Okay! then how about a HUGE bat coming out of the waves? And it's on FIRE! And have everyones names written in the water!"

"Well now you swung over to the other side. No matter. I think we can do that. But the names might be a bit much. You don't have enough skin. How about just the initials?"

"Okay!"

The procedure continues without much of an issue, though the boat rocking back and forth did earn you a couple of more painful jabs but that's about it. Finally you get to see the result of the painful operation with the help of a mirror. A flaming, screaming bat erupting from the waves with the initials of the others strewn across the heavens above. A bit gaudy but it's nothing less than what you deserve. When done you give Angel a big ol' hug which makes her drop her tool on the ground and everyone briefly stop what they are doing to watch.
"THANK YOU!"

Quickly parting from her you run outside and let the rainstorm cleanse your body. The water carries the blood from your back and washes it clean so your new tattoo is proudly displayed for all to see. Liberating.
Almost as much as what you see next.

The clouds part and the sea calms down. After almost an entire week the sun has shown itself. Finally some stability, meaning you entered the climate of a nearby island. The temperature rapidly changes to a much warmer, much drier one, meaning you're about to find a Summer Island. Quickly you get your crew to come out and double their efforts. You got a port to find! In a few hours you finally see that blessed landmass. A bright yellow jewel pierces the endless blue of the sea.
"LAND HO!"

Your excitement mounts to the point that you feel like jumping off the ship and flying over there. Luckily Marcella stops you from doing anything reckless.
"Hold on a minute! Silver! Aren't you forgetting something? We have a jolly roger now! Everyone will know we're pirates now. Do you get what I'm saying?"

"Fine, fine. We'll do it your way. OKAY! I'll take the wheel!"
But you get cucked out of that bit of fun as well when Jaws takes control of the ship.

"Sorry Captain. Can't have you joyriding again and get us spotted."

"Yosh!"
Marcella claps her hands together and feels ecstatic about taking charge for once.
"Take us away from the port Murray! We'll find ourselves a nice little beach and anchor down!"

Angel keeps an eye on the town you see in the distance and she keeps you updated regarding its position. Sailing far away from it you pass by a cave but the others quickly shut off any attempt you make to steer them towards it. Same with the small river leading inland. Along the way you pass by several small settlements along the coast, all of which appear to be long abandoned. Instead you follow Hooks instructions and dock in a beach in another corner of the island. That should be far enough that nobody will easily find you but not far enough for the journey to be too inconvenient, at least that's the idea.

After securing the ship you take a boat to the beach and take your first step on dry land in a WHILE. Unfortunately your eagerness is dampened quite a bit as you realize just how hot and dry the air is here. Jaws especially is taking it bad.
"Oh what the hell is this?"
He asks as he looks over the area. It's a desert alright, just not the sandy kind. There are rocky formations all over the place and the ground is cracked like your lips are about to be. You notice a fly which was onboard your ship finally take its leave. It gets about five meters away from you before it combusts in a puff of flame.
"This does not bode well."

"Neither does that."
You point forward and alert the others to another anomaly.
A figure can be seen in the distance. It's far away but it's getting closer. You watch for about ten minutes as the small figure gets close enough to make out what it is. It's a camel, crawling on all fours, drawing a line in the dirt behind it. And it looks like it's about to die of thirst.

"We're so gonna die-"
"We're so gonna die-"
"We're so gonna die-"

And that's where I'm ending things.
I'm still miffed about not being able to start in my usual time. Whatever, we'll do better next time.
I'll try to update the pastebin a little tomorrow. Add some stuff to Silver, add Hagetaka, etc.
Those are my main concerns for now but if you got something else then just yell at me.
Next session should be on Thursday at 15:00 GMT. Don't know if I can run on Friday or Saturday but I'll try. Will update soon
Good night

Oh. And here's a little teaser of what you can expect on this island. There will be a lot.

It's impossible to tell exactly how long your log will take to pick up the next islands magnetic signal, not to mention your food and water reserves are dwindling. So despite nobody really wanting it you're forced to cross the rocky desert in search of civilization. At first it's not too bad, the scenery is pretty and you have fun with passing by tumbleweed, tumblesnakes and tumblelizards. But curling up into a ball and rolling around looses its charm after a while and the less is said about the heat the better. Your crewmembers are taking the scorching, arid weather rather poorly, especially Jaws whose skin is quickly drying out and turning brown. And now you're starting to crave fried fish for some reason.

"How big... is this desert?"
Marcella complains with her tongue hanging out. She long since took off her suit and pulled it over her head to protect it from the sun. The others had to take similar measures. Maybe your chosen attires were not cut out for this island after all.

"It's shame we didn't see a port coming here, huh?"

"Who the hell told Silver about sass? I'll kill them... And how the hell aren't you sweating?"
Marcella keeps talking as if to distract herself from her condition.

"I don't know. I feel fine."

But the rest definitely don't. Gu already took off his scarf and half scaring Angel to death, Murray tried spitting up some water just so he could drink a bit and only dust came out, Marcella is already contemplating removing even her shirt and Hagetaka already borrowed your suit just so she could cover her exposed skin. You'll need to do something about it because jerky does not make for good companions.

You tell the others to have a little rest under the shade of one of the mountains while you go ahead and search for something to make the journey a bit easier. Shortly after leaving them behind you manage to find exactly the kind of thing you wanted through sheer luck and a bit of listening to the ground. A run down but functional cart can be seen half sticking out of the ground, next to it are a bunch of skeletons lying around and what appears to be hands coming out of the ground. With this many skeletons it must've been quite a party!

You carefully examine the cupped hands and realize they are made out of wood. And that they are holding some sort of mystery liquid that looks thick, syrupy and has a lot of stuff floating in it. You think to yourself "Hey! Free soup!" and quickly drink the whole thing because it doesn't look any worse than what Gu usually serves you. It's not bad, tastes kinda like a devil fruit. You end up drinking the whole thing to gather your strength for lifting the cart out of the sand. But before you could begin you hear the sound of guns being cocked. You look around and see about half a dozen men on horsebacks, aiming their guns at you. They start laughing while their leader speaks.

"Well well well what do we have here? A'ight boy, put 'em up! No funny stuff now. Just empty ye'r pockets and we won't have no problem."

You sigh and walk up to him, completely disregarding the pistol in your face and with a simple motion bury the head of his horse in the ground. After yanking him out of the saddle you whoop his ass so hard his bandit friends forget to stop you out of sheer terror. After beating him and his horse black and blue you hold him by the collar and look him in the eye.
"Say sorry."

"SORRY! SORRY! PLEASE! NO MORE!"

"Good. Now the rest."
They also say sorry, hell they even get off their horses and bow down while apologizing. Now that you've diffused the situation with your eloquence and quick thinking you have a small band of armed bandits at your mercy. What to do...

>Okay you can go now. Try not to cause any more trouble

You see an opportunity and take your chance. With a smug grin you slap their leader and speak up while trying to sound as tough as you can manage.
"Now, you boys are gonna tell me what I want to know. Understand?"
He tries to say yes but you slap him again, not quite getting how this is supposed to go.
"You tell me what I want to know. Nothing else. Understand? Now. Where are we? What's the name of the island?"

"T-This 'ere land is the land of Bandera s-sir!"

You slap him again.
"Captain."

"CAPTAIN!"

You slap him yet again.
"Now where's the nearest town? And don't lie or I'll slap you again!"

"It be thataway! The port town o' Portland! Stupid name we know but what can ya do? That there is the capital o' the whole o' Bandera captain!"

"Huh... that small place? Aren't there any bigger towns?"

"Nope! Now folks say there used to be but who knows? That was so long ago we wasn't even born. Only our grampappys knew of that place."

"Wow. That must've been long ago indeed."

"Actually it been only about 20 years."

"B-But you guys look so old-"

"We be brothers captain! The Jenkins Brothers! I be Billy Jenkins and I'm 19 years ol' I am!"

"Ah so you have a name then! Do you guys happen to have any bounties on your heads? I need some pocket money-"

He starts protesting and saying how they don't. In fact they are wanted but they have exactly 0 belly on their heads. The reason being is that the local sheriff is a mighty son of a gun who'll hunt 'em all down no matter what for no money. What a strange place. At first you don't even believe it but they do appear to be telling the truth. At least they don't sound like they are lying. Nodding you leave Billy Jenkins behind for just long enough for him to get comfortable. But then you lift the cart out of the sand with one hand, put it down and tell them that now they'll be the ones pulling it.
>>
With your new carriage drawn by the horses and the bandits riding them you return to your crew. Truth be told at first they thought they were hallucinating when they saw horses walking on two legs and pulling a cart with a rope but once you came in view they understood it all perfectly. You had everyone sit down while the brothers and their equines do all the hard work. Along the way you ask a few other questions from them like how many towns there are and if there are any other places of interest.

Apparently the island is quite big and peppered with several small settlements here and there. But they all answer to a central leadership which is located in Portland. It was moved there because some years ago a great drought ravaged the land, leaving the big city in ruins. Now only small towns can survive with what limited resources there are. Out of all of them Portland is the most prosperous thanks to it being the only place with a port. They mainly survive through the extensive trade and the import of vast quantities of water.

As to your second question the Jenkins brothers don't have many answers to that. Apparently outside of civilized areas the whole island is just one giant death trap. But they do tell you about a place called the Devils Bumhole that everyone should avoid at all cost. Supposedly it's a place so dangerous you'll die if you get anywhere near it. But they don't actually get to tell you more about it as you arrive within viewing distance of Portland. Once that happens Billy Jenkins gets on his knees and starts pleading to you.

"Sir- ER! Captain please! If you have a heart in ya' you won't make us go there! The sheriff and the mayor will have us hanged if they catch us!"

>They earned their freedom. They can go
>You'll take us there. But I promise you won't get hanged

>>You'll take us there. But I promise you won't get hanged

"Kekeke!"

"Oh no-"
Your entire crew with the exception of Angel sighs. They know what is coming.

"Don't worry about that guys! I won't let you guys get hanged!"

"W-Why not?"

You slap Billy across the face one last time.
"Because I don't let my crewmembers get hurt!"
At this point you get jumped by Jaws, Hook and Toxin each one of the vying to strangle you personally. They don't seem to agree with your recruitment policy and say that you shouldn't just invite every random schmuck you meet. But you roar at them that you'll invite whomever you please even if they'll just be deckhands or emergency food in the case of the horses. They beat you up mercilessly but you stroll into town with the Jenkins brothers regardless.

But you don't get far before you get stopped by a weirdo riding a white horse. He stops your wagon and takes a closer look at the people pulling it. They appear to be scared shitless of him.
"Well I'll be. If it ain't the Jenkins Brothers. Damn if it doesn't feel good seeing y'all lookin' like this! But I'm a bit confused. Y'all'd be so kind as to explain to me what in Sam Hell am I lookin' at here? And who in tarnation would you be? I ain't never seen any guys or gals with mugs like yours-"

"Hi. I'm Silver!"

"Silver hmmm?"
The man reaches into a pocket on his saddle and takes out a stack of papers from it. He quickly flips through them before pulling one out.
"Ah I knew I've seen you somewhere. A pirate hmmm? Well whoever you are I must thank ye' for deliverin' us from these little hooligans. They've been makin' all sorts o' trouble 'round these parts. Now if you'll excuse me I'll take 'em off your hand."

"No."

The cowboy freezes for a moment but he just adjusts his hat and chuckles.
"Wow. I almost pity you lads. Here I am tryin' to give you a nice quick hangin' but then mister pirate comes in and decides to make y'all suffer longer."
He then turns his attention back to you.
"Sorry 'bout that. I admit I'm a bit sad to not see these guys get what's due but somehow I doubt I could match what y'all have in store for 'em. Name's Luke, Luke McKinsey. I'm the Sheriff 'round these parts. You pirates right?"

"Yup."

"If you don't mind me askin' where did y'all dock? Y'know we have a port 'ere, right?"

You shoot a smug glance at Marcella but right now she's too overwhelmed with the heat to even care about it anymore. She just waves you off and you reply to the sheriff.
"We got lost in a storm and docked at a beach. Did not see the town."

"Ah that makes sense. Well let me be the one to welcome you to Bandera. We a Worl' Gov'ment affiliated country but we don't take it too seriously. 'S long as you don' break our rules we're fine with you. So cause no trouble and enjoy your stay."

>>4531415

>>
"So apparently they are okay with pirates here! Cool!"

"Silver... please... I'll listen to your jabs all day. Just... water!"

"Sorry sorry! Well, you heard her! Take us to water!"

But the brothers don't move. Instead they just stare at you like at some sort of an abomination. They ask if you're crazy or not because talking back to the Sheriff like that is tantamount to suicide. Apparently he's the only law enforcer on the entire island. And aside the Jenkins Brothers themselves there are hardly any more criminals left. Sounds scary but he hasn't done anything to anger or intimidate you so it doesn't matter.

You get to the local watering hole after calming your "horses" down a bit and your crewmembers almost have to crawl in they are so exhausted. You park the Jenkins brothers in the shade and go in after your crew. The place doesn't really feel like any tavern you've been to. There's no music, hardly anybody in there and it's dirty as hell with piles upon piles of plates towering above you, threatening to burry the whole place should someone bump into them hard enough. The only other people in there aside you are crowded around a single woman who seems to be responsible for this mess. She keeps shoving food down her gullet, loudly burping occasionally and always demanding more food even whilst chewing.

You decide to ignore her for now because she's loud, nasty and you got more important things to do. The bartender didn't even want to serve you as he was busy hiding under the counter. He seems to be in a state of shock, muttering "please no more" over and over again. After a few snaps of your finger you manage to get his attention and order drinks for everyone. But before everyone could get their share of water or milk a sizable chicken bone flies past your head, breaking a bottle on the wall.
"HEY! WHAT'S THE HOLD-UP?! I NEED MORE PIZZA NOW!"

>Ignore that and ask the bartender about the town and the island

You ignore that chicken bone even though you see some scraps of cartilage on it and instead help the bartender forget the pain of having a girl eat him out of house and home for a little bit.
"Ice tea for everyone please. And milk for me."

The confused guy takes a good look at your crew and realizes how dire the situation is. He produces a pitcher of iced tea for each of them and gets you a barrel of milk after you correct him about how much you want. You pay him right afterwards, earning a few happy tears from him. He probably thinks that if that woman behind you doesn't pay he'll become destitute. To help him forget more you start asking him about things here because you really need information. You do remember a few things the others were wondering about like how long it takes for the pose to set or if you can buy supplies anywhere. Sadly you forgot the details so you don't make much sense. But the bartender is quite used to talking with drunk people who are almost as bad as you are at speaking.

"Well if you want to know it takes about 9 days for the pose to set here. As for supplies, you're in luck because this is the only town that has more than one store. Because we have the only functioning port. Sadly unless you want to buy guns you won't find anything local. Even the water gets imported here."

"Why?"

"Haven't you seen? Everything is dry. It hardly ever rained here but about 20 years ago we lost almost all our drinking water. No water, no farms, no food. We even lost the thing that made us famous, you see we used to have this thing called "oyul". Wonderful thing it was. You could set it on fire and it'd burn so well. It heated our homes, lit our streets and so much more. Now we have nothing but our old mines."

"Mines?"

"Yeah. Just about the only not worthless things on this island. We have rich lead and silver mines. We sell it all so we can buy our essential supplies. Part of the reason why we can be part of the World Government despite being so poor."

"Really? Why?"

"Well... I'm not supposed to tell you but what the hell you seem like decent folk. Our buyers are two of the famous Shichibukai! Sir Crocodile the hero of Alabasta and Donquixote Doflamingo the king of Dressrosa! Isn't that something?"

"It sure is!"

As you keep talking with the old guy your friends are done chugging their pitchers and slam them down, completely rehydrated and ready to roll.
"Ah! Much better! Oy Silver! What are you talking about?"

"I have no idea Hook!"
*sip*

"Figures. HEY OLD MAN! Does this dustball have a place where we can buy some clothes?"

"Erm... yes we do?"

"Great!"
Marcella slams on the table and gets the others to do the same.
"I might as well throw these rags out because they are more sweat than clothes! Seriously, your country SUCKS! Okay guys who's with me?"
They all raise their hands.

"Don't need to remind us..."

As they leave Marcella ruffles your hair and actually shows some gratitude for dragging them out of the desert. Then to restore balance she tells you to not do anything stupid while they are gone and calls you an idiot. After they leave you ask the owner for another round of milk to go and after paying, prepare to head out as well. While the others are gone you're free to explore the place for anything interesting! However as you reach the exit you hear something.

"Hey, kid."
It's not even her calling out to you that makes you stop but the sudden lack of plates cluttering.
"Watch yourself out there. This place reeks of death."

"I heard..."

You make a mental note of the loud, smelly and frankly disgusting girls ominous warning before heading into town. Even though you SHOULD wait for your friends to come back from clothes shopping you get a feeling that this place probably has a lot of fun things on offer for someone like you. And after a casual stroll through the main street you do find 3 particular things that you fancy.

First, it seems like the locals had quite a good time watching you walking around. All the gruff men laughed and ridiculed you whilst the women just giggled about how "cute" you are. The subject of their interest was your sword. They called you a kid waving a wooden stick around and other such flattering things. Seems like nobody around here appreciates the glorious melee weapons and instead guns reign supreme. It's annoying but it does mean you can probably acquire some quality firearms here.

The second were the gossips you picked up with your sharp ears. A lot of gossiping is going around about some sort of disease spreading on top of the already terrible drought and the famine brought by it. As they say "When it rains, it pours" but the locals don't seem to believe in random chance screwing them over. No, instead the words "curse" and "witch" seem to pop up whenever the conversation is about some sort of a malady striking the island. Interesting.

And last but not least, you hear actual music coming from somewhere! Wonderful! Looks like that pink haired pig can't be a big enough party pooper to shut down all the bars around town! True, this one seems to be a bit more gaudy and a lot less your style, there are a LOT of people in there and people are wearing some very silly costumes but it's still a bar. So you can at least have some fun in there.

You kinda want a new gun... but the bar is RIGHT THERE! How can you ignore it like that? You dodge a guy who just got flung out the front door and start reading the name of the place. It is a silly one that makes no sense. It's named after a guy name L who's someone's Bro apparently. The rest of the name is missing, if there is any more at all.

Shrugging you go in and see more people wearing silly clothing. It's apparently the workers and there are two types of them, ones who wear so many fancy, frilly clothing they can hardly move and some are feeling so hot they are barely wearing anything at all. The owner is a big, fat lady smoking a very long cigarette. She alongside the other workers give you puzzled looks but when it looks like they are about to throw you out some of the other patrons address you directly.

"Hey kid! You lost?"
It's a man sitting around a table with three others. They all look very gruff wearing those big hats and dusters. They appear to be playing cards and they are all armed.

"Nah! I came looking for some fun!"

They almost spit out their drinks but they manage to swallow before laughing at you.
"Fuck me that's good! How about you join us then? You know how to play poker?"

"Nope!"
Eagerly you stroll up to them as they shuffle around to give you some room. Sitting down on the stool they drag over you look over your new playmates.
"So how do we do?"

"A'ight boys new round! So we start by betting. We all put 10.000 bellies in as a starter!"
You do as you're told and fork over 10 grand before you get your five cards.
"Now if you want to you can replace any number of your bad cards if you want to."

"Hmmmm... is it good if they are all the same color?"

They start laughing very loudly again, one of them even spills his drink.
"Yes! It's very good!"

"Then I'll keep them!"

"Alright! Now we can bet more money... I'm raising it up to 100.000 bellies!"
The others fold and don't want to play anymore.

"That's a lot. What if I don't want to pay that much?"

"You can fold of course! But that means you loose the money you already put in!"

"Hmmm then I'll put the money in! I want to win!"

"EXCELLENT!"

The guy reveals his hand after you meet his raise.
"Four of a kind! All aces! Sorry buddy but it don't get much better than that!"
He starts laughing and raking in the money when one of his men starts sweating so much a puddle is starting to form under him.
"What?!"
He glances over to your hand and freezes.
"R-Royal Flush?! H-How?! How did YOU WIN when WE CHEATED?!"

You sniff once.
"Cheated you say?"
Suddenly four shots could be heard and all of a sudden four new holes could be found in the table as well as the heads of the unfortunate bastards who had the misfortune of messing with you.
"What's the point of playing a game if you're going to cheat?"
You shake your head as you collect your fairly earned 130.000 bellies. The bar falls silent after the first few screams and people look at the three fresh corpses in disbelief.

The big lady stomps over to you, the two cannonballs strapped to her chest threaten to fall out of her bra and scarring you for life. She starts shouting orders at everyone and life returns to the establishment once she's finished.
"Alright everyone hold your horses! Nothing to see here! Get back to what you were doin'!"
She then turns to you and looks like she's about to pull on your ear were she not deathly afraid of the still smoking gun you put on the table.
"Listen sweetcheeks, those four will not be missed but you can't just do that come on! I'm not even talkin' about their tabs because those were never gonna get paid! But you can't just shoot people like that come on! I mean look at this mess! You blew holes in my table and the roof! And who's gonna scrub that blood huh?"

"Oh sorry, didn't meant to cause trouble."
You hand over to her a random number of notes you just grabbed.

"F-Fifty? Why that's mighty kind of you boy! Hoehoehoe!"
She takes the crumpled notes and shoves it in her cleavage. Smart. No person in existence will want those.
"If only more of my patrons were as GENEROUS as you are this place would be less of a shitehole!"
She clears the phlegm from her throat and calls for two of her employees.
"LILY! JASMINE! Get your sweet asses over here! Make sure you take care of our guest while I fetch someone to clean this mess up hoehoehoe!"

The two strut over to you from the bar where they were apparently chilling up until now. One of them has a big bosom and very fair skin, the other is flat and practically chocolate colored. At first they don't appear to be too enthusiastic, being put off by your young age but with a sigh they present themselves.
"Well hello there stranger... You seem to be quite exhausted... Would you be interested in some... relief?"

Well you have positively no clue what she's referring to, nor why the dark one is clearly an effeminate guy wearing a womans dress. But you do feel bad for them. They clearly don't want to do this but have no choice other than to do as the Madame says.

You wonder whether or not you should take them up on their offer.

You thank them kindly but slide out of their tight embrace, holding onto your hard earned money. This place is not as fun as you thought it would be, in fact it's very dangerous. Besides now you have a fat stack of money which needs securing for which you need the others. Following the example of the fat lady you stuff a few bills in each of their bras and tell them to buy themselves a drink before slinking out the front door. After running out it doesn't take too long to bump into something big and sturdy. Specifically the wide chest of Murray, whom you didn't recognize due to his change of clothing.

Him and Gu both got ponchos and big sombreros to shield them from the harsh sun while Marcella and Hagetaka took the opposite approach. They decided to wear less clothing so it doesn't heat them further and just took parasols for protection. Though angel seems uncomfortable as the top half of her breasts are exposed, which Hook keeps shooting jealous glances at since she's so flat her chest is almost concave.
"This is so embarrassing... why did the owner have to run out of everything else?"

"Hah! Maybe now you'll realize that cow tits are only a structural weakness and nothing else!"

"Is that why you bought a pair of stockings to stuff into your bra?"

"I'LL KILL YOU!"
A massive fight is about to erupt but Jaws alerts them to your presence and they stop.
"Oh Silver-"
Marcella looks you over.
"Don't tell me you already got into trouble. Where is that money from?"

Toxin points at a man who's digging four shallow graves next to their future occupants.
"I guess that answers your question. But it's a bit concerning. Not him killing four people in such a short amount of time. But the lack of public outrage."

You dump your money on Marcella and tell her to secure it. When they ask how you got it you just tell them you won it at a game. After the cash is secured you withdraw to a more secluded area. You find a quiet little alley and start discussing about what to do next. You present your findings to them regarding the existence of a supposed witch but they just blow you off.

"I'm more interested in what the bartender said. So these people have trade deals with not one but two warlords."
Marcella speaks up.
"I suggest we tie Silver up and don't let him do any more crazy stuff while we're here."

"I disagree-"
Angel counters her.
"I think there's something wrong with this place based on what we heard. I suggest we check out the sheriff's office. He seems like he has a good handle on how things work around here and he doesn't seem to mind pirates."

>Agree with Marcella and lay low

>>4534066
>Would he go around dropping an Ace in every island or what?
Up until he finds out that's where babies come from then he rounds them all up to live on his ship. Legends will be told about the fearsome pirate going port to port, bar to brothel, asking seeking the children he left behind.

It'll be like the reverse of the Navy searching for Roger's baby.

As they continue arguing about which approach would be more sensible, laying low for the duration of the 9 days or whether or not you should investigate things. You just punch the side of the nearby building, prompting a loud "WILL YOU SHUT UP? TRYING TO MASTURBATE OVER HERE" from the house. After carefully moving away the crew looks at you expecting some sort of an input.
"I want to go and hunt for a witch!"

They all give you a dumb look, not knowing what to make of this.
"A... witch?"

"Yup! I heard people talking about a witch! It poisons cows, sucks the crops dry of blood, violates all the old people in their sleep and makes all the young girls sick! Or maybe I mixed it up a bit but that's roughly what they said. People keep saying how every bad thing must be the work of a witch. She even made all the water disappear!"

None of them can respond to this except for Jaws who begins to laugh.
"Gyogyogyo! Silver you need to learn not everything people say is true! When people don't know what's causing something they start guessing and making up tales. And these questions keep getting answered by science every day."

"Nope!"
You protest.
"If everyone says that there must be some truth to it! And where there are secrets, truths and mysteries there are adventures!"

They all sigh and then Marcella steps up.
"Alright. If you want to start chasing fairy tales so be it! At least that way we won't get into too much trouble. So where should we start? I think the bar. No better place for gathering information."

"How about the sheriff? He's still the one who knows the most about the island. And likely the only one who can afford to explore it alone if he's as tough as they say."
Angel also throws in her own idea.

You lead the others to the Sheriffs office because Angel made a good argument for it. When you arrive you see a gibbet with two very much dried out corpses hanging off of it. The good ol' sheriff is sitting under it, sharpening his knife with his horse drinking from a trough next to him. Sheriff Luke looks up from his important business.
"Well well well. If it ain't the landpirates. Ran out of deserts to cross? Or supplying the coffin maker with more work?"

"Sorry."

"Don't be. Would've gone after 'em myself if I weren't so darn busy. So... what can my humble self do for you?"

"Please officer, tell this fool of a captain that witches don't exist!"
Marcella speaks with obvious irritation.

"Yeee-haw-haw-haw! So y'all've heard about that old wives tale?"

"See Silver? There's no plague causing witch running around cursing everyone!"

"Actually that ain't entirely true missy. Now I don' know what you've heard. But I can imagine. Every day those rumors get worse. But I assure ya, the hag of the island is very much real. I knew her."

"W-WHAT?!"

The cowboy points you to the bounty board where pictures of local miscreants are displayed for all to see. All labeled "Wanted Dead" except for one. One of them reads "Wanted Alive". It has no actual picture just the drawing of a traditional witch as apparently there were no pictures taken of her. McKinsey then tells you that she was born about 24 years ago when he was still in his prime, he's around his fifties now. She was the daughter of the local doctor who raised her alone.

"What happened to her mother?"
Angel asked.

"Never had one. Some of the less... kind hearted folk say that was her first kill. Personally I say it's just bad fortune, one that never quite passed for her but alas. The missus was always frail and birth must've taken her strength. That's all. Doesn't change the fact that this series of unfortunate events never quite ended. At 4 years ol' she lost her daddy as well. Shame that was. That's when she earned the name hag she did. Before folk cut her some slack for her daddy. But she always had weird habits, like hangin' around things you shouldn't hang around. Like bodies."

"And this... girl is responsible for... everything?"

"Naw. Some like to think that. But a four year old don't know how to dry an island. All the sickness is from us havin' no darn doctors 'round. But that said she is a pest. Some says rightfully so after how folk treated her. They say she diddles the dead, drains the blood of the livin' and other nasty things which are not for any ladies ears but are definitely true."
Luke then points at you with his knife.
"You seem to like it though. These tales."

"Yeap! Sounds fun."

"You an' I have very different definitions of fun lad..."
>>
"But if she's such a menace why haven't you done anything to stop her?"

"That's an excellent question my fishy friend! Y'see I'm a busy man. I always gots some scoundrel in need of roundin' up. Don't have the time to go lookin' for her. And the land is vast with many dangerous places. She could be hidin' anywhere."
He then puts his knife away and takes out a pipe which he then lights.
"Now... since I was so forthcomin' how 'bout you guys and gals answer my question. Why do you care?"

Without a moments hesitation you answer.
"Because it sounds fun!"

"Fun eh? Well that's about what I expect from someone who shoots four men after a poker game. Ye'r a real thrill seeker aren'tcha? I can respect that. As long as you do it within the confines of the law that is."

"Shooting four men is lawful?"

"If y'all knew Major Moneybags you'd know how serious of a crime cheating at poker is... that man hates loosin' almost as much as I hate crime. But that reminds me-"
He looks at you.
"Yee have a bounty don't you? 20 million or somethin'?"

"HEY! I HAVE ONE AS WELL!"
Marcella shouts.

"And you've been makin' bodies left and right since you arrived. You're interested in the hag and so am I. Whad'y'all say? Pardners until we hunt her down?"

That's an interesting offer. He does know the place. But he might step on your toes...

So you're ready to do business with the man with the big iron on his hip, huh?

"Partners!"
You shake his hand and he starts smiling with that pipe in his mouth.
"But we do things the Silver Pirates way!"

"Of course. Otherwise what's the point? I provide the expertise, you provide the muscle. Win-win. Pardner."
He looks over to his horse and whistles. The well trained animal stops drinking and stands next to him, like a soldier saluting its superior.
"Awai! Get five others for our friends here. We'll provide y'all with horses. But food an' water you'll have to solve yourselves. We ride as soon as you're back."

You leave him and buy some extra supplies you might need with the money you won. The general store had plenty of food and water, however expensive it may have been. Right after returning to Luke you head out into the desert where you ride seemingly aimlessly. Apparently even the Sheriff has little idea about where the hag might be hiding so now you're just combing through the desert. Luke then takes this opportunity to explain a few things to you.

"Now I know y'all said you'd do this your way. But allow me to give you some general advice. One, never take off your boots. You can't know what varmint will crawl into it. And once they bite or sting you it'll be too late for regrets. Two, water is worth more than gold You can be king shit of fuck mountain but that don't mean nothin' here if you got no water, so guard it with your life! And most importantly-"
He pauses and looks at the horizon.
"Hold on."

You see a two animals rushing towards you. They look like bulls but with bigger, fluffier heads and smaller horns. These are some of the most ferocious cows you've ever seen and they don't care about attacking a group bigger than theirs, even with these ridiculously durable horses the sheriff got you.

"Ah I was waitin' for that."

"What are those?"

"Buffalo. So called 'cause they be buff. There are not many animals left on the island dumb enough to attack me. These are one of those. While I can tell most to do what I want, I can never break these things."
He reaches for his pistol and aims at the with his eyes.

You think that these beasts look very cool! They are much better than the dumb horses this guy has! So you decide you want one! As Luke is still preparing to take his shot you jump off the back of your horse and start running towards the buff-alo with the full intention of contesting it. As the beast gets closer you see its bloodshot eyes filled with rage. Yes, this is a mighty creature!

For your first action you bend backwards before headbutting the animal with full force. The impact almost splits your skull open but as blood runs down your face you see that the animal has stopped and it's now even more agitated than before. Huffing once it pulls back for a moment before it stands on its hind legs and punches you in the face. It batters you for a while before you manage to grab it by its horn and force it to the ground. Laughing you gaze at it and speak up.
"Nope! Not enough! But good effort!"

It tries to break free and you try to hold it down as much as you can. Sadly it is VERY strong and it struggles free. Without your bat form you have no hope of beating this thing into submission. But something tells you that even if you did, this thing would just struggle until it killed itself before it'd ever submit to you. Then again, that just makes you want it EVEN MORE!

Sadly that is not going to happen. You hear a gun being drawn and fired. You turn towards the noise and see what happens to the second buffalo in great detail. Three bullets fly and three hit their marks. The first two break the knees of the beast, toppling it. The third one hits with surgical precision, as the buffaloes forehead hits the ground its neck gets exposed. The bullet pierces the soft flesh and hits the spine. It dies instantly.

The one you were wrestling with lets out a loud "MOO" as its partner keels over. You then see Luke turning in your direction and aiming his shot.
"MOVE!"
You appear to be in his way.

You step aside and give him a clear shot. Since this buffalo had its mouth wide open that gave Luke a perfect shot and he slew the beast with a single bullet. He blew the smoke from his gun and holstered it with satisfaction.
"Fastest gun on the land and the second strongest!"

"Why not first strongest?"

"Because that gun be slow son."
He got off his horse and examined the two animals.
"Hmmmm. Good skin. Shouldn't waste it."
Using his freshly sharpened knife he removed everything of worth from the body, skin and meat. He bundled up the meat and wrapped it in paper so you can eat it later. Then he whistled and a pair of vultures arrived out of nowhere to take the skin back home. You ask him how he can convince the animals to do his bidding. He just says this.
"They just learned that if they stop behavin' they stop breathin'. Anyway that's all that's worth from these things. Gotta leave somethin' for dem coyotes as well."
He looks up at the sky and humms to himself.
"It's startin' to get late. We should set up camp somewhere safe. Won't last long without a fire at night."

You head out in search of a suitable place that offers at least some coverage from the elements. You do find a small cave which seems perfect. You all start unpacking when Luke starts telling you how to do things.
"Right. Y'all fellas have a cook? Fantastic! That means we eatin' good tonight! I'll go get some wood. Set up camp in the mean time, will ya? Oh and before I forget again I couldn't tell you the most important rule of the desert."

"Oh yeah? What is that?"
You ask him.

"Well it's simple, really. While there are a dime a dozen things that kill ya if you eat it or touch it or just look at it funny. But out of all of 'em you gotta stay away from the prayer trees."

"What's that? Some sort of superstition?"
Gu asks.

"Hardly. They are these little trees that look like two hands cupped together. They have this weird liquid inside 'em. Most heinous thing you've ever seen. Whatever you guys do we can deal with it. Touch that stuff and the only thing I can offer you is a bullet to the head. So make sure to avoid those while I'm gone!"
Then he leaves with his horse to gather some wood. You hope he comes back soon because it's really starting to get cold out here.

Whilst waiting for the Sheriff to return you make yourselves at home in your new temporary lodging. As the others are unpacking their stuff you call dibs on a comfy looking rock and then go out to feed dry grass to the horses. But the large equines don't seem particularly friendly and bite your hand so you get very close to skinning them and turning them into dinner. Only your reliance on them and the fact that you already have plenty of buff meat in your packs stops you from getting your revenge.

Angrily you stomp back in the cave and start complaining to the others.
"This sucks. We haven't found anything, we had to kill two cool animals and there's nothing fun to do here!"

"If you're bored why not make yourself useful?"
Gu asks you before intentionally knocking you over and placing a smooth, flat rock on your stomach. The slab is about half your size and you get told to stay still.
"Now heat it up so I can start cooking."

As Toxin starts grilling buffalo steaks using you as a stove he starts asking the others.
"So... any opinions on our new "friend" over there?"

"He seems very erm, passionate about his work."
Angel while slightly unnerved seems to have a positive opinion about him.

"I don't trust a man whose back yard is a graveyard."
Now that Jaws mentions it there were an alarming amount of tombstones behind the sheriffs office where the gallows were.

"I don't know-"
Hook seems cautious.
"I can't shake the feeling that something's off about him. I mean have you seen those horses? They listen to his commands like they are soldiers! And I keep feeling that they are watching me!"

"You must be paranoid. Horses don't have the faculties to do such things."
Gu then looks down at you, briefly diverting his attention from the steaks.
"How about you Captain?"

"I think he's cool! I'm still mad about the buffalos though."

"You really wanted one of those huh?"
Gu nods.
"Well they seemed very willful beasts. Ones that would rather die than to serve. But I admit I'm not very invested in either of those things. That tree he mentioned though-"

"Ooooh? You want that tree don't you?"
You wink at him.

"Silver. You're supposed to do that subtle so no one can see it. Not do it slowly and as obviously as you can. Now what are you saying?"

"Now... high-potatically if I knew how to find one would you want to go check it out?"

He gives you a subtle wink which you copy and fail, thus alerting everyone to your dealings again. They just rub their heads and sigh, knowing that something ugly is going to happen soon. But nobody says a thing as Luke returns with some dry wood under his arm.
"Howdy folks. I'm back. Now I say, that is some fiiine smells I'm smellin'. What's the grub?"

Gu provides him with a plate and practically throws it at him.
"Just some basic steak. Eat it. I don't even want to look at it. It's an insult to my craft."

"Why... this is the best darned slab of meat I've ever tasted! And you folks live like this? And I sometimes have the gall to say crime doesn't pay!"

After everyone gets their portion you pop out from under the rock, scaring the living crap out of Luke. After everyone ate you all go to rest except for the cowboy as he keeps watch for the night. The next morning you awaken fresh and hunger for adventure! You don't want to waste any more time doing nothing!
But that's exactly what happens as you find yourself riding a big, dumb, muscular horse through a vast rocky desert full of nothing and fuck all. You get so bored that you start using the dreaded curse of "Are we there yet?". To which the Sheriff only responds with-

"We're about to reach a small farm soon. Should be only an hours ride away!"

Great. Excellent! More riding! At this point you're really starting to detest this island. Why is it so BIG if there is nothing in it? Waste of space is what that is! But a devious idea pops into your mind. If you can't FIND an adventure then maybe you can make one? Gu did say he wanted to find one of those trees or whatevers. Maybe you can search for one.

Looking for the forbidden soup
>writing
>>
You spot a rocky formation where you'll surely find a tree like that, according to your gut at least. So you hatch a plan.
"STOP THE HORSES!"
Everyone stops abruptly and look at you with great concern.
"I have to pee. Gu I need an adult!"

Luke gives some horrified looks to your chef who simply shrugs and says that he better follow you before you do accidentally cause a catastrophe or a natural disaster. The others nod that this is a thing that can happen so Luke while confused accepts this as you depart. Once they are out of earshot only a few vultures are circling above you that could bear witness to your actions. So Gu finally asks the obvious.
"Okay what's this about?"

"We're looking for soup."

"H-Here? How do you know one is here? Have you seen it?"

"No. I heard it."

"Right. Your hearing thing. You know it'd be quite a remarkable ability if it could do anything other than lead you to dangerous area."

"It finds that because that's what I'm looking for. Anyway, shush. Let me focus."
You close your eyes and concentrate on the sounds around you. It takes a while but once you calm down enough and the noises of the world become muddled you usually start hearing the words. And you do in fact find one that is surely what you want because it overpowers all the other voices. It says "Death".

Circling around a large rock you do in fact find it. A very dry and very small tree looking like two hands forming a cup with the syrup inside it. The thing has such a unique look even Gu recognizes it from Lukes description. He walks up to it and starts prodding around the liquid with his chopsticks.
"This is it huh? How did you know how to find one?"

"I found one when I was looking for a cart."

"Got it. Hmmmm. It's very thick. Some sort of thickening agent. I think it might be collagen. Smells foul... protein? And it's very dark."
He takes the two sticks and puts them close enough so a bridge forms between them. He takes a careful look at it and starts squinting.
"I think something's moving in it."
He quickly rubs the thing off the sticks with a few handfuls of sand and some dry vegetation.
"Interesting. Definitely toxic, I just don't know exactly what it's composed of."

"Can you use it?"

"Hard to say like this. I'd need a fully equipped kitchen so I could experiment with it. Go through each cooking step to find the similarities between it and other poisons. Wish I could take a sample with me..."

"You're not going to drink it?"

"As it is? No. Too dangerous without knowing what it is. Need to understand it first. Might be too strong for me right now. But this is promising. Maybe we could come back or find another one when I have a flask on me."

>Well if you're not going to drink it, I will
>Let's ask the others to see if they have an empty bottle

>Other?

You look at Gu and get a brilliant idea. Almost dunking your head in you begin sucking up the weird liquid from the wooden basin and drink it if not with enthusiasm then with determination. Once you're done swallowing the last drop you take a deep breath and pat your stomach.
"There!"

"W-What the hell did you just do?! Didn't you hear when I said it's TOO DANGEROUS?!"

"Relax! I drank this stuff once before and I'm fine! But now you can extract it from me like you did with the Basilisk!"

"Huh... That's actually quite a good idea. With two large doses like that I think it should stay in your system for a long time. Good thinking Silver!"

But as Gu congratulates you a loud shrieking cuts him off. Looking up you see the vultures up in the sky loosing their shit and they quickly take off in a fit of panic to where you left the others. Weird but you make nothing of it. As you prepare to go back however you hear the sound of thunderous hooves approaching you very, VERY fast. A pale horse stops right in front of you with its rider looking down at you.
"Oh hey Sheriff! How's it going?"

"You... what did you do?"

"I admit. I may have peed my name into a rock over there BUT IN MY DEFENSE! I'm not very good at writing so I had to try several times-"

"Shut. Your damn. Mouth!"
He snaps at you with a cold fury you haven't seen from him before.
"What did you just do?"

At this point Gu steps up and starts arguing with him.
"Lay off. We didn't do anything. You can see for yourself."

BANG

A quickdraw later Gu falls face first to the ground, a red stain appearing in the sand as it hungrily laps up the blood from his torso. You give the exact same stare to Luke that he's giving you. He holsters his smoking gun and speaks up.
"Stupid boy... Look what you did! Now I must get rid of you before you kill us all!"

>Before you kill him you must know his reason

What the hell is this stuff? It hasn't seemed to actually hurt us yet.

>Now I must get rid of you before you kill us all!
Maybe it doesn't actually kill us. It could be some sort of berserker potion or mutagen that changes us and sets us on a murder spree.

I don't know, it might make you deranged or turn into some sort of superpowered insane creature. He said he had to get rid of use before we killed them, so I'm thinking it's a less a danger to us, more to everyone else.

You grit your teeth. You are angry and pissed and MAD! But above all that you're confused. Rather than charging him you kneel down and grab your cook by the shoulder.
"Toxin! Hey! TOXIN! Why did you DO THIS? I thought we're partners!"

"Ain't no pardnerin' with a corpse kid-"
As he prepares to make his move Lukes eye twitches as three other figures are approaching.
"Hold that thought."

Your other crew members have come running. They are asking for you and tell you that they heard gunshots. When they see you on the ground with Gu laying there they don't ask questions and immediately reach for their weapons. Jaws starts swinging his anchor, Hagetaka readies her spear and Marcellas bat is already covered in hooks. But before any of them could make a move Luke attacks. He throws his hand out and throws a length of rope. It completely misses all of them but out of nowhere it splits into three parts and coils around each of them like a snake. Try as they might they can't seem to escape from it. The thing even cuts into the flesh of Murray as he's trying to break out the hardest.

"D-Devil Fruit?!"
Marcella cries out.

"Yup. I'm not gon' hurt you but I can't let you do anything stupid..."

He then returns to you and without missing a heartbeat draws his gun. You hear the gunshot, you know what direction the bullets are moving but you can't dodge. Lukes bullets are simply too fast. Two of them hit you in the kneecaps, blowing them to bits. A third one is coming for your head but you refuse to let it hit its mark. Jerking your head away you manage to lessen the hit. It still pierces your neck and puts a hole in the side. You're bleeding profusely. Luke then blows into his hand and whistles for the vultures that were circling above you. The birds of prey come down and dig their claws into you and Gu.

"Don't eat 'em unless you wanna die. Drop 'em off at the usual place, in the deepest part. Can't have the kid explode on us. The island can't survive a plague right now..."
>>
>>4538686
>doesn't explain why not to do something
>reeee why'd you do thing
Sorry cowpoke, looks like you're retarded. And oh no your subscription to life just ran out.
>>
As the vultures carry you away you stay conscious even as you keep bleeding out. Death does not concern you right now, something like this won't be enough anyway. Instead you're more worried about the health of Gu, the safety of your friends and getting your hands around Lukes neck in that order. So you keep watching, hoping that you'll be able to trace back your steps from wherever these birds are taking you and you can kick Lukes shitty asshole later. Looking around when the birds slow down you see massive, gaping hole in the ground. It is so deep that the bottom of it is pitch black, wreathed in such dark that it's only visible at high noon.

"T-The Devils Bumhole..."

Around the place you see some sort of a perimeter set up, a large wall of some kind. At this point you could easily fly away but... Instead you morph into a half bat and wrap your big wings around Gu and pull him close. Intending to cushion his fall you make sure he's on top of you as you descend. You fall for at least two minutes before you land back first at the bottom. There is an explosion and you almost get knocked unconscious. However it isn't nearly as bad as you thought it would. The ground is not any kind of rock, instead it's squishy and soft and... wet.

You open your eyes to look around and you almost freeze when you see bodies. A lot of bodies stacked into a pile and you are on top. Making sure Gu is okay you start crawling and roll down the side of the mound. The ground is now more solid but it's covered in a sticky liquid. You want to keep going but without can't find a way to crawl on the stable surface while also carrying Gu. It is at this moment that you hear footsteps and freeze.

A large, wide figure approaches you, its eyes twinkle like stars.
"Haaah. Haaah! F-Finally. I'm glad! Fresh! Fresh bodies~"
This thing. This monster sounds female. This must be that hag people kept talking about. You look up to take a better look at it but can't. Your vision is blurred and your hearing is muddy. You can't make out much. But the large figure freezes when it sees you move your head.
"A-Alive? It's alive? Oh no... Nonono. That's no good. What will I do now?"

It seems to be lost in thought. This could be your chance. You reach forward and grab it by the angle. It doesn't make a sound other than a gasp and freezes. You look up at the two glowing dots which you presume to be the massive beasts eyes and speak up.

>Help him!

"H-Help... him!"
You move your wing, revealing Gu who's bleeding out currently and prompting another gasp from the witch.

"O...Okay."

Hearing this you feel relieved and relax which is precisely enough for you to loose consciousness. You enter a dreamless sleep which you don't know how long it last. But after what felt like an eternity your senses start coming back and they wrench you back into reality. Your eyelids feel heavy but your ears are sharp. You hear two voices talking nearby. One is completely alien but the other is familiar if a bit nasally.

"I-I, please don't? H-He's not recovered yet. He needs rest."

"Sorry maester. But you're not the expert on this one. You have no idea about what we're capable of.
*ahem*
HOLY SHIT! THAT NICE PIRATE LADY JUST BROUGHT US MILK!"

"MILK?!"
You sit up and headbutt something, knocking it over.
"Ow... Who put that there? Oh. GU! You're okay!"
You try to jump up but pain shoots through your legs like someone jammed a needle through them. You look at Gu and he has his nose plugged with two rolled up tissue papers.

"Take it easy cap. I'm alright."
He then turns away from you to gloat to someone but there's no one there.
"See? What did I tell y- Where did you go?"
You see a single eye peeking at you from a distant corner.
"You can come out... he's not going to hurt you."

Slowly the head attached to that eye pokes out. The face is covered in many stitches and obscured by a lot of grime. The pair of red eyes are trying their best to avoid contact with yours. It mumbles in a feminine voice. You can make it out but it's so quiet you wouldn't understand it if you didn't have excellent hearing.
"H-Hello..."

"Silver. Let me introduce you to the witch..."

While Captain Silver of the Silver Pirates is languishing at the bottom of the Devils Bumhole alongside his trusty chef the rest of his crew isn't much better off either. Still hogtied and bruised from the journey back, they get dragged through the streets of Port Town in a rather distasteful display. Many of the townsfolk give them passing glances with some staring at this with great intent, especially one bonny lass with vested interest in the situation.

The horses accompanying them stop at the sheriffs office while Luke and his trusted steed Awai move along to the town hall where Mayor Moneybags awaits them. The horse enters through the front door and goes up the stairs, dragging the bound pirates like pieces of ham. As they enter the office of the big man himself Mister Moneybags quickly looks up from counting his pile of bellies.

"Ah Luke! Come in, come in! Finally coming around to that poker game with me huh?"

"Sorry mayor. Still got terrible luck with them cards. I came for business."

"Of course you did. All business, no pleasure. That's your problem! But alright! Let's hear it friend! What's so important that you decided to include me this time?"

"Well you have enough fun for the both of us, anyway-"
Luke tugs on the rope and the three pirates are pulled forward and come in view of the mayor.
"I caught us some criminals."

"As vigilant as always! Alright to the gallows with them! Can't have any renegades now can we?"

"Naw. I thought you'd be interested in these ones."

"Ooooh?"
The fat, bear-like mayor leans over to take a closer look at the captives. They can see his face slowly contort into a grotesque smile.
"MmmmmM! Oh my friend, you never cease to amaze me with your dedication to your job and your IMPECCABLE taste! I do like these ones!"

He rubs his hand across Marcellas cheek and attempts to sneak his thumb into her mouth but finds a nasty surprise when she bites down on it. The mayor yowls and pulls himself free with such force that he rolls backwards and hits his head into his desk, sending money flying all over the room.
"Ptooe! Damn. Couldn't bite it off completely!"

The mayor blows on his hurting finger and sucks the blood dripping from it.
"Whew! She's a feisty one! I love it! It'll be such a treat watching her break. Luke my friend hand them over to the Madame at once! And uuuh... we'll discuss what we outlaw next. I'll let you pick something good for this one."
>>
"Much appreciated!"
But as the cowboy starts pulling on the rope now he finds some resistance this time. Angel had her feet planted firmly on the ground and she's digging her fingers into the floorboards as hard as she can.

"Not a chance you pigs!"
The Sheriff cocks his gun which Hagetaka laughs off.
"Hah! Do your worst! I don't fear death!"

"Oh really?"
He then aims the gun at Murray.
"And how about your friend? If I slowly hang him in front of you will you change your mind? Y'all seemed rather close..."

"A pirate would rather die than be imprisoned! Death before dishonor! Right everyone?"

Marcella takes a deep breath and looks at Luke.
"We accept. As long as you don't harm Murray we do as we're told."

"M-Marcella?!"
Angel then gets headbutted by her comrade hard enough to shut her up. Hook then whispers this in her ear.

"Idiot! Buy time for Silver to come back!"

"B-But he is-"

"Silver. Will. Come! He's too stupid to know how to die! Until then we have to make sure we stay alive! Got it?!"

"R-Right..."

A day has passed since then. Hagetaka and Marcella were properly introduced to brothel culture, they learned the rules and received their "work clothes". Now they must put it to good use. Luckily for them their aura is threatening enough to put everyone off... for now. But who knows when will people get brave or drunk enough to try purchasing their "services". At that point they'll have no options left but to comply or risk the life of their fish-man friend who has been put up to display at the gallows.

Murray was meant to be sent to the mines due to his strength but he's been refusing adamantly. Since then Luke had him stand under the gibbet with a rope tied around his neck until thirst and hunger makes him comply.

But as Hook and Angel are looking for ways to avoid the prying eyes of the other whores to discuss what to do now the unexpected happens. They get a customer. Some loudmouth storms in the building and demands wenches. The Madame is about to throw them out when they present a hefty bag of bellies, then they become quite welcoming to the rowdy individual. They point right at Marcella and Hagetaka and just say 'Those' without missing a beat.

The girls grit their teeth and take two shots of whiskey one after another before heading up to one of the larger rooms. Once the door gets locked and their "guest" stands in front of them with their arms crossed.
"Alright you whores! Now you do as I say or I'm kicking you down the stairs! Got it?! You tell me what I want to know and you'll keep your voice down! And don't try to sit down anywhere if you know what's good for you!"

Marcella looks at Hagetaka and after an exchange of nods speaks for both of them.
"Fine but, who are you?"

"None of your business. And I'm the one asking the questions here! Now I want to know everything that you did! Where's that twerp?!"

"You mean Silver?"

"I don't know his name and I don't care. You two are his lackeys right? What did you DO?"

"He drank from some weird tree and got shot for it."
Marcella answers Bonneys question.
"Then we got captured when we tried to save him."
>>
"Tch. Typical. Bunch of idiots stroll into town and cause trouble for NO REASON when you could've just as easily sat down and wait for the log to set. Well at least you didn't cause me any trouble so you're lucky there. So... why are you still here then? You could've run away you know?"

"We're waiting-"

"For what? For Long Dick Johnson to stroll into town and teach you what gaping means?!"

"Oh you know what that's like huh? No wonder with that lipstick..."

"Did you just-"

"Anyway we're not moving anywhere until Silver comes back."

"Psh. Idiots. He's dead! He drank from that tree the locals fear so much. Kills in an hour, has no cure. You're better off breaking out and making a run for it!"
The girls stubbornly cross their arms, prompting a sigh from Bonny who reluctantly sits down and crosses her legs.
"Fine. If you want to get yourselves killed it's not my business. My pose will set tomorrow and I can leave safely while you'll stay here. Hope you packed contraceptives! But I paid you for the entire day so... get your asses moving and bring me some goddam PIZZA!"
>>
And done. Hopefully on Friday I'll be able to run at the usual time of 15:00 GMT
See ya later alligator

God if anyone tries to stick there dick in the person who can manifest fishhooks at will is in for a surprise

Well nice to know she has faith in us. Even if it's because of our stubbornness and stupidity. I am very curious about what this soup is though, and why we're immune. Maybe it only affects the locals?

>>4541247
Maybe has something to do with us being a bat-man?

>>4541256
Yea thats the only other thing I can think of. Unless Silver has some other ability. Everything I know about One Piece comes from this quest, so I'm lost on what it could possibly be.
>>
Believe it or not I have an irrational fear of ever using an onahole because I'm sure the one time I do it'll be the one some psycho has put fish hooks in.

>>4541247
I'm thinking it has something to do with Silver's unusual body temperature, possibly it's dormant above a certain temp which is why it is fine out in the open in the desert.
>>
>>4541265
>I'm sure the one time I do it'll be the one some psycho has put fish hooks in.
Most people couldn't handle fishhooks well enough to lodge them in there properly. More likely to get some lunatic shoving razor blades in there.

But the way to really hurt is to pour in fiberglass soaked in some super spicy juice. Less bleeding more burning.

Yeah, DBZ hour. I mean five minutes takes like twelve episodes so an hour, wooph.

A valuable lesson was learned that day.

Weird. You know Velcro works by being a bunch of tiny hooks yeah? And cat tongues have little hooks on them apparently. Don't fear the hook, embrace it.

Yeah. And a tigers is the same. Except it's very painful and very dangerous because it helps the cat skin its prey.

Anon I said it was irrational. There's just something about onaholes that my brain asserts there will be a fishhook inside.

You know fish hooks are barbed but barbed wire has no hooks on it. But barbed arrows act like hooks. Really makes you wonder, huh?

Can't she also put hooks into anything she touches?

You stare at the... thing still in hiding. Even though she poked her head out she's slowly moving back where she came from as you continue to stare at her. She starts mewling as embarrassment gets the better of her.

Since she isn't very talkative it falls on Gu to explain what the hell is going on.
"Her name is Lyda Trueblood. She's the one that saved us. And apparently the daughter of the last doctor this country had. Looks like the Sheriff wasn't completely full of it after a-"
Gu then begins coughing uncontrollably as blood starts pouring out of his mouth.

"I-I told you that you shouldn't move like that! Y-You still have a nasty infection!"

The stitched up girl continues to berate Gu from all the way over there, not even bothering to poke her head out as she meekly barks at your chef. As they argue amongst each other you observe the place you're in with a very big scowl on your face. The walls look like smoothed out stone, must be a cave of some kind. But it both reeks to high hell which explains why Gu had to plug in his nose. To top it all off it practically SCREAMS "Death" at you. There are various tools hanging on racks, none of which look pleasant, like saws, tongs, calipers, pliers and scalpels. Bottles and alembics filled with god only knows what litter the place and the "bed" you're laying on is clearly meant for person shaped things that are no longer concerned with silly things like comfort. In short, you hate it.

You scratch your head with both hands while thinking as hard as you can. All you achieve is becoming frustrated.
"RAAH! What is up with this place? This whole island is nutty! Why does it matter that I drank some SOUP?"

*ahem*
Gu clears his throat and points at Lyda who hides completely, forcing your chef to go and get her. He gently pushes her out from her hiding place. She avoids eye contact as much as she can, in fact she doesn't raise her head at all, focusing on the ground and moving her leg around nervously.
"I erm, I-"
God she just doesn't have a spine does she?
"I know what it is... The p-prayer trees carry a deadly pathogen that causes quick and painful death within an hour. Symptoms include high fever, convulsions and cell death resulting in rapid putrefaction which ends in the explosion of the cadaver and the spreading of a second generation airborne strain that can rapidly infect the whole of the island if not properly contained."

Whoa. That was a lot of words you didn't know!
"Toxin. Me brain hurts."

"She says the tree makes you sick, kills you and makes you explode."

"Aaaah!"

"I-It's not that simp-"

"Just leave him be. You almost did more damage to him than the pathogen."

That makes sense. So it's bad. But there are some things that still nag you. For example why are you feeling fine after drinking it twice, or why is there such a shitty thing in this place. As luck would have it the weird, ugly, smelly girl has answers for them as she can't seem to stop.
"I-It appears that the abnormal temperature of your body is the key. I-I took your core temperature and each time it was much higher than normal. And what counted as a slight fever for you would cause instant death to any human. I believe the bacteria burned out in you..."
Lyda then appears to become sullen.
"As for the trees... they were not always like that. W-When I was little the trees were a symbol of hope-"

"What is she talking about Toxin?"

"I'll translate... The thing you saw is the tip-top of the tree, the rest is underground. The roots go down and pull water from underground. But the corpses you saw outside leak corpse juice into the water hole. That's what makes you sick."

"Ooooooh. So does that mean I can't drink it anymore?"

"YOU STILL WANT TO DRINK IT?!"
Finally the girl breaks out of her shell as both she and Gu shout at you.

>But who brought the corpses?
>What is she doing here? What about the story about her dad?
>Okay. I heard enough! I don't like it here and I'll burn it all to the ground. Any objections?
>Other?

Sad zombo noises

"So the dead are the thing that's bad. But who brought them?"

Lyda becomes sad.
"It's the Sheriff-"
Your blood spikes when hearing that.
"T-The sheriff and the mayor. The mayor makes the rules and the sheriff makes you obey. You break it, you get thrown in here. But they always make new rules. If they want you to do something, new rule. If they want you to stop doing something, new rule. People go and work in the mines because they are told to, they work in the brothel because they are told to. Some people live outside of towns in small farms, like the Jenkins brothers. If you do that they check up on you to make sure you behave. If not, this is where you are sent."

Toxin shakes his head and looks at you.
"And apparently the mayor is just doing what the sheriff tells him to. The mayor rules because the sheriff doesn't like running things. He just wants to enjoy the island all to himself, so he helps the mayor stay in power, in return he gets to make up new rules when people start obeying the old ones."

You nod.
"When he runs out of law to enforce he makes new ones."

"My thoughts exactly. He enjoys this..."

You turn to Lyda.
"Why don't people do anything about this?"

"B-Because they can't. W-We had the sheriff for a little over 20 years. Anybody who tried to do something died. Now nobody tries. Because the sheriff can't be stopped. He rules the island."
She then tries to force herself to smile but it's obviously fake.
"B-But that's okay. We got used to it. People get by."

You glare at her enough to make her crawl behind a table to hide from you.
"No... Don't get by. Live!"
You raise your voice.
"Get mad! Get angry! Do something!"

"Y-You can't! Didn't you hear! The Sheriff is unstoppable! Y-You best get your friends and run away from here before he finds out you're alive!"

"No. Toxin! I need some milk! I need to get some new knees so I can shove my boot up his bum!"

"Actually, you don't. Try to stand up."

"Huh?"
You jump off the operating table and some sharp pain side your legs are fine. You start laughing and jumping up and down with glee.
"Whoa! Check this out! It works!"

"P-Please don't move around. Your need to get used to them first-"

"Huh?"

"She healed you. Turns out she's quite skilled. I think we could use someone like her."

"Nnnno! I don't wanna! I don't like her!"

Gu shakes his head and turns to Lyda.
"Don't worry. He'll get around to you. He just prefers bad girls."

"T-Then I don't understand... I'm quite bad at everything."

"Still we'll need her to get back to town quick. She knows her way around the island. So... what's the plan cap?"

"Well I suppose we need to clean this place up first-"

"Ah, to help the island?"

"Nnnnope! I'm getting SICK of the smell and I need a warm-up! Literally. A'ight where's the exit of this musty cave... Wait where IS the exit?"

Gu looks at the girl.
"Lyda. We'd like to leave."

"N-No! I refuse. You can not leave in your condition! I won't allow it!"

You walk up and leer at her with the biggest, meanest scowl you can manage.
"And who's gonna stop us? You?"
The coward offends you but lucky for her she lets out an "EEEP" and runs to a wall in her panic. She touches it and the solid, whole wall just disappears leaving a chunk of silver in its place.
"Whatthe-"

"She has a devil fruit."

"Greeeeat. The coward has a fruit that lets her run away. How cool..."

"Sarcasm is unbecoming of you."

"Coughing up blood because of some silly illness is uncooming of you."

"Becoming. And point taken."

You leave the place through the hole the girl somehow produced in the wall and reenter the massive cave where the mound of bodies is. It appears to have grown a little in your absence. You quickly ask Gu how much time has passed and he says about 1 day. Well... time to put an end to that. But first you try to steal the tissues in Toxins nose so you can plug your own but he slaps your wrist with his chopsticks, making you cry. Resigning yourself to the olfactory assault you sigh and start some stretching exercises. Lyda then runs up to you and crosses her arms in a cross pattern.

"S-Stop! You can't do manual-"
But Gu pulls her aside and covers her.

Once ready you smile and transform into a hybrid. Your body begins to exude a terrifying amount of heat as your skin flushes with red and the air around you begins to vibrate. With all your fury you begin flapping your wings, whipping up a great tempest of scorching hot air. The bodies in front of you start to dry up and embers begin to fly out of them. Soon a pillar of fire erupts as things continue to heat up and the corpses start burning. Your wings twist the fire into a vortex that flies up, signaling most everyone on the island that something is going on.
"I hope that grassmole Luke sees this! Because he's next!"

You stop flailing around and the firestorm abates into a small pile of ash and smoldering embers. The air burns your lungs but it's quite refreshing after the stench of rot and decay. The place has been cleansed.
"I-Impossible! W-With that much heat even the underground caverns must've been boiled clean!"

"Wouldn't that hurt the trees?"

"N-No mister cook. The trees are much hardier than that."

You smile.
"Good! I can undo in a minute that these guys built in 20 years! That means I can kick their ass in five seconds!"
Luke must've seen that. He's probably on his way.

You nod at your work with satisfaction.
"Well how about that?"

"Bet everyone saw that. Including our resident bastard. So what now? Shall I prepare my cauldron? I admit I'm not looking forward to boiled asshole but I'll make an exception for him."

"Naw. We go to town while he's coming here. Gotta rescue my crew!"

"Got it. But we need a guide. We'd just get lost out there."

You both look at Lyda who's quickly shaking her head in protest. Not more than five seconds later you grab her and Toxin with your clawed feet and take off flying. She screams quite loudly even as Gu tries to calm her down so you fly quite high just so that nobody could hear it. And good thing too because Luke would've noticed you if you flew low enough. With information pried from her you manage to locate Portland with relative ease.

You descend at its very edge and drop off your "luggage" before landing. Omukade has to make sure she doesn't throw up as you give the place a quick lookover. Almost immediately you spot your first mate with a rope tied around his neck and balancing on a single wooden log so that he doesn't choke to death.
"Toxin."

"Yeah I see it. I'll get him."

But the others you don't see. At all. They must be in one of the buildings.

We're here for a different sort of treasure, anyhow.

>>4542555
It do be the kind of treasure Silver likes. And one that might've helped you

>>4542555
Yea, killing the sheriff and getting Lyda as a crew member would be enough. Treasure doesn't hurt though.
>>
>>4542555
Aye, the booties what already belong to us

If we kill Luke, would any of our crew have the foresight to ask where his devil fruit goes? I dont know exactly what his fruit does, but I have a feeling it would regrow itself from some sort of cactus fruit in typical deserty western fashion.
>>
>>4542567
You're asking some dangerous things
>>
>>4542567
I hope if it does grow back quick enough the Jenkins boys get a hold of it. Our crew itself needs to be swole as well as the leadership. And we're doing alright so we just need the everymen to catch up.
>>
>>4542573
In character or out of character? Silver probably wouldn't think or know to ask unless the land tells him something, and I don't know how much our crewmates know about how devil fruits work to even know to look for it.
>>
You put your ears to work and try to filter your surroundings for obvious signs of your companions. Quickly you find one that sounds promising. A frankly stunning number of profanities strung together with proficiency only rivaled by the most eloquent of poets and the most pissed off of sailors. That should be it. You follow it as well as the trail of crying people crawling out of the building which the curses originate from. Turns out it's the same place you've been to before "Bro the L" which makes you even more angry. If they put them in such a seedy place then they'll get no mercy from you.

As you enter though several people get in your way, mainly the local workers wearing silly dresses.
"Erm, sorry but aren't you supposed to be dead? The sheriff will want to hear of this-"

"Outta the way."
You grab one of them and toss them out of the way, which prompts the other patrons to run the fuck away or hide while the other sex workers draw their many concealed weapons including stilettos and derringers. The fat lady leading the place also comes out laughing at you.

"Hoehoehoe! What do we have here?"

"Where are my men?"

"You mean those two stickbugs? They are upstairs entertaining a guest! You can join them if you wish. You'll have a place to sleep, we'll teach you all the industry tricks... certainly a lot better than what Cutey-Lukey has in store for you~!"

"Where. Are. THEY?"

Suddenly a door upstairs is kicked open, revealing Hook and Angel wearing the same outfit as the others. As well as the loud, rude pig from the tavern. She seems quite angry and when she speaks up you realize it was her who was cursing all this time.
"Alright what's all this racket?! AND WHERE ARE MY PIZZAS?! I ASKED FOR FIFTEEN TWO MINUTES AGO!"

"Silver!"
"Silver!"

You ignore everyone and look at the girls. Looks like they are both fine.
"Hey! You're okay!"

"Yeah. This one covered for us-"
Hook points at the pink haired girl with her thumb.
"The rest are asshole."

"Awright! Then let's get out of-"

"Wait Silver! Get our weapons!"

>Nod and search for the baseball bat and the spear
>I'd rather beat these ones up
>Other?
>>
>>4542581
I wonder what happened to them. We left them alone, so they either ran off or Luke killed them.
>>4542584
Would Silver even know that Devil Fruits grow back? I don't think he's been told. I wouldn't be surprised if he just thought that it's gone once someone dies.

>miss piggy doesn't count as a girl
>>
Right. Enabling the girls rather than fighting the whores yourselves. Bueno
Now hold onto your butts

>writing
>>
You nod and start looking for the weapons, completely disregarding the lads and ladies of the establishment. The madame merely laughs at you, stating you'll never find the weapons as she'll kill you first. Needless to say she becomes quite surprised when you jump over the counter and retrieve the bat and the spear almost immediately and throw them to their rightful owners. Marcella and Hagetaka smile and rip their outifts apart, leaving only the leotards intact. They assume their fighting stance and turn to the pink haired girl.

"Thanks for covering for us. Now get out unless you wanna get hurt."
She shrugs and jumps out of a nearby window and starts running away. Meanwhile Hook cracks a smile as she raises her trusty bat.
"Hey Cowtits! Which one you want? The fat pig sitting in the town hall or these fat piggies here?"

"I won't rest until I skewer that foul man."

"Good! 'Cuz I want to destroy these clowns!"

They break up and Marcella slides down the railings of the stairs before getting to work while Hagetaka breaks down on of the walls with her spear and making a mad dash towards the town hall. At the same time you hear fighting erupting outside as Gu encountered some resistance while trying to free Jaws. But sadly you don't have the luxury of helping any of them as you start hearing the sound of thundering hooves. He's here.

You make your way outside and stand in the middle of the street, calmly waiting the coming storm. As you do Lyda walks up to you, earning your ire.
"What are you doing?"

"I-I want to help!"

She can barely stand but she wants to help?
"Pffft. Get out of here you scaredy-cat. You're not needed."

"P-Please!"

>Fine. I don't care

Now we know the Sheriff wanted to kill her, so she's acting as bait. He has to go around us to shoot her. Therefore we know his next move. This is a 10,000 IQ play that he can not overcome by simply shooting us instead.

>>4542648
What if he shoots through us and hits her?

>>4542638

"Fine. You want to prove yourself? Do it behind me."

She nods and takes a step behind you so she's half covered as the man himself gallops into town. He quickly jumps down from his horse and smacks Awai on the ass to make him keep running. The horse passes you and gives you a murderous glance but you ignore it completely, deciding to focus on Luke instead.

"Well. This is unexpected. Now tell me something pirate. Because I have two questions. How do you still live after drinkin' that stuff? And how dare you still live after I killed you?"

"Maybe you're just bad at killing-"
BANG
He opens fire thrice from his hip, the same trick he used before. But now you don't have a bleeding crewmate to distract you. Drawing your sword you intercept the bullets.
"See? Same trick every time. It's really showing that you're old."

"I'll get back to ya' on that one. Lyda dear. It's been too long. You've grown since last time I saw ye'. Were 'bout this tall, playin' with your ball 'n such. Alone. The others mocking you. Where has the time gone?"
She does not respond to him and just hides further behind your back.
"Course, t'was all your fault for bein' weird. Suppose that's just how you end up without a mommy. Anyway, did you heal these clowns? That's bad Lyda, real bad. We 'eard rumors about you goin' around and cutting people up in the night, suckin' their blood. We figured you picked up your daddys profession. Coulda used ya. But now I'm afraid we can no longer do this the easy way. It'll hurt... that is unless you come 'ere willingly. You help me pass my kidney stone and I might convince the mayor to let all this slide for ye."

"I-I-I-"
She keeps mumbling and avoiding direct confrontation with Luke. You grow tired of it so you grab her by the hand and pull her in front of you. Grabbing her cheeks from two sides you raise her head so she has to look at the sheriff. Almost instantly you feel something overwhelming bubbling to the surface from her. She then explodes.
"I WILL NEVER WORK FOR YOU SCUM! I'D RATHER SEE THE COUNTRY DIE THAN HELP THE ONE WHO KILLED MY DADDY!"

Your mind blanks out as you hear that and stare at Luke who covers his face with his hand.
"Hawhawhawhaw! YEEEHHAHAHAHAHHA! Oh boy! You saw that? Damn. This is a fine pickle innit? Oh well. Can't win 'em all."
BANG
He fires again, this time at Lyda. Lucky that you were holding onto her, that meant you could intercept the bullet with the back of your bat wing as you did a quick morph.
"Sorry about that lass. But that ain't my fault. Wasn't me who came out of the woodworks sayin' we ought to stop killin' people an' dumpin' 'em into that big hole. No idea how he figured out but I had to shut 'im up before he could sing. You understand, right?"

And that's the end for today
I'll be working in the weekend so no sessions then. I may however provide fights for the crewmembers. Here are the match-ups

Who said you had to choose?

As Silver goes on to free Hook and Angel of their bondage Toxin is hard at work trying to free Jaws. He climbs on top of the gibbet and begins fiddling with the unnaturally tough noose.
"Don't worry. I got you."

"You're alive. That's a relief."
The fishman speaks through his dry, cracked lips.

"Damn you're dehydrated."

"Don't worry about it. Just promise me you won't try to use me in one of your dishes."

"No promises... Blast! What is this rope made out of? Steel?!"

"It's the h- WATCH OUT! IT'S BILLY!"

"Wha-"

Suddenly Gu finds a meat hook around his neck, yanking him away from the platform and throwing him to the dusty road with enough force to make him tumble into a nearby cart and breaking it into splinters. He coughs up blood as his ravaged body suffers further damage and he tries to catch his breath while a giant of a man wearing a potato sack on his head is dancing next to the gibbet.

"I did it! I did it! I saved the fishie!"
The big oaf stops bouncing around and starts walking towards Gu, each step he takes makes small objects around him bounce.
"Star Man said fishie is mine if he tries to flee. He said Billy can eat him now. But you try steal fishie. So Billy eat you too!"

"Who is this idiot?"

"Me Billy. Billy the Butcher!"
The big guy giggles and impales Gu on a meat hook as he was still recovering. Billy then used his massive fists to pummel Omukade into submission until his body went limp. Laughing once more Billy began salivating as he fantasized about what to do with his new acquisition.
"Ooooh. Skinny meat but strong. Me will debone you and eat you raw! No! Cut you into steak! YES! Cook you well done I will and serve with piney apple before eating fishie!"

"Pineapple?"
Gu raised his hand and tightly gripped the meat hook. In an instant it shattered like glass surprising Billy quite a bit. Gu then tried his best to stand straight as he took out his trust chopsticks.
"I'll accept dying. I'll even consider being eaten a good death. But you, you tasteless, foul, disgusting pig. I refuse to nourish someone with SUCH GARBAGE TASTE!"

He took off the bandanna he bought in town and manages to disgust Billy.
"Ewwww. You look weird! You sick? You not look tasty."

"Oh don't worry about me. You're about to look much worse! Now. Let's prepare the meat!"

Dipping the tip of his chopsticks into the toxic secretions coming from his cheek Gu rushes down the gigantic man. He jumps up and steps on Billys meat hook and cleaver before stabbing his forehead with his stick. Vaulting over and running around the giant man he continues poking him in various places, each one sending a ripple through the fat mans body as his Hasshoken does its work, though Billy doesn't really seem to feel any pain from it. In fact he starts laughing as it tickles him.
>>
Once he's done dancing around the giant Toxin stops and stares Billy down.
"You done? Why stop? Billy felt fun!"

"I'm done. If you feel like it you can attack me. But I don't recommend it... Because I hate dying."

"Hmmmm Billy no get it. But Billy know you want free fishie! So Billy kill you!"

The fat man charges Gu who nonchalantly puts his chopsticks away and raises both of his palms. When he gets in range the master chef of poisons simply pats him on the belly with both hands, causing Billy to freeze in place. Not out of realization, he's too dumb for that. But because his joints stiffened up as if they were filled with concrete. Billy can't even speak now as his jaw is locked tight. His eyes roll back into his skull and his mouth starts frothing.

"Centipede style: Toxic shock!"
The vibrations he sent into Billy caused the poison inserted into his system to spread at an alarming rate, discoloring Billys skin until it was purple. At that point the giant man was effectively dead and all it took for him to fall over was a single flick from Gu. As he landed the poison chef simply shook his head as he walked back to free Jaws.

"Nice job."

"No. It's a tragic waste... I wanted to use the poison to prep his meat but then I realized with all the garbage he ate I'd get sick from him."
>>
>Gu hates pineapple
...I just lost some respect for our resident chef.

Specifically meat with pineapple.
Though Billy wanting him well done did not help things

I disagree.

But I also recognize that i won't be changing your view on this, therefore I won't harp on about the subject matter further. Thank you and goodnight.

>>4543758
The only good pineapple I've ever had was when it was used in a marinade and not actually served alongside or on anything. Pineapple is pretty lame honestly.

>>4543782
All I'm saying is that the singular good thing about pineapple is that girls know it makes the dick taste better.

So. I may be able to run on Tuesday
But if not then on Wednesday. I may even be able to do multiple, long sessions between either of those and Sunday.

Only if it's boneless.

I only like canned pineapple by itself
I sometimes buy it and eat the entire can right on the spot
Strange though, I'm okay with other fruits in my food. Raisin in rice, half of a peach on a chicken breast with melted cheese on top, turkey breast filled with plum and wrapped in bacon, fruit sauces with beef you name it.
But I detest pineapple in food

When both Angel and Silver left the brothel Marcella found herself facing off against the entire establishment. How unfortunate... for them. Just as she was getting ready with her bat the courtesans were already rushing her in great numbers. Little did they know that she was about to give them the facelift many of them been waiting for a while now, but not the way they hoped.

The loud thwacking sound of metal striking bone rung as she smacked the ambitious harlots into the nearby walls, putting holes in them and leaving the rear ends of the whores sticking out. Which all things considered wasn't that unusual here but still... As Marcella was releasing her pent up frustration on her captors a vicious grin spread across her face like the red matter spurting from her unfortunate victims. This did not please the Madame one bit.
"My cuties! You little rat! What are you doing with the merchandise? LILY! JASMINE! Shove that bat of hers where it belongs!"

The others pull back as the two lead bitches jump into the fray and surround Marcella. Lily points her gun at her and tells her to drop the weapon whilst Jasmine, the tan one goes behind her. Hook complies and drops her weapon without much resistance. However as the dark skinned slut tries to subdue her she grins and with a mighty backswing kicks the feminine guy right between the legs with her high heel... at the end of which she created a fishing hook. Jasmine lets out a high pitched scream which horrifies everyone present. Marcella just chuckles and rips out a few strands of her hair to boot, which she blows in the direction of Lily.
"Bait rain!"
The hairs turn into small hooks which pin her entire body to the wall painfully.

Picking her bat back up she laughs.
"What's wrong girlyman? I only helped you fit in! As for you-"
She swung her bat at the belly of Lily, knocking her out.
"I think getting a baby would be bad for business. You don't need to thank me. It was my pleasure!"

She walks up to the Madame who's furious by this point.
"You... Do you have any idea how long it'll take to bounce back from this? I'll have to work my cuties ragged! Skinny little whores like you are so cruel! But don't worry. We'll get you straightened out! I'll have you strapped down during happy hour! You'll learn to behave then! Yes. You'll be fattened up and made into a REAL woman soon enough. Imagine all the boys having their way with your plump flesh! You'll learn how to be a real woman then!"

Marcella just yawns, barely paying attention to her rambling.
"So basically you regret getting so fat not even the town horses want to mount you anymore and now you're just jelly?"

"I'LL KILL YOU!"

The well sized woman charges Marcella with a frothing mouth which tells the small girl that she hit the mark. With a giggle she does a spin kick into the gut of the hyppo like woman. But her smile quickly disappears as she realizes several things. One, the hook sprouting from her heel probably did no damage beyond pain as the Madames skin is thicker than an elephants. And two-
"Oh dear. Sweet. Lord! I HOPE that's grease between your folds!"

Down on her luck and one shoe Marcella pulls her leg free as the Madame begins laughing.
"Do you see now? This is what a woman should be! Thick, curvaceous with mounds a man can play with! A little twig like you-"

"You're not thick! You're FAT!"
She swings her bat at the owners jaw but it gets lodged between her chins and now Marcella is really disgusted.
"Fine! You want to do this the hard way? Let's do it the Marcella way! BAIT-"

"Now on your knees you little-"

"BLADE!"

Drawing her hand Marcella made a loud wooshing sound and the Madame froze. She looked down as an overwhelming amount of pain spread through her body. The thing in the little ladies hand was too big to be called bait. Too big, too thick, too heavy and too rough. As she falls over Marcella retrieves her beloved bat and spits on her. It'll be a pain in the ass to clean for sure.
"This is what happens when you challenge the master baiter of the Silver pirates. Bitch. God I hope Silver didn't hear t

You stare at the laughing sheriff and pull Lyda back behind your back as she bites down on her finger in her frustration. You keep looking at him and conclude that his laugh is genuine, as genuine as his distaste of Lyda, of you and the prayer trees. Slowly the pieces fall into place and things become clear. He genuinely believes Lyda is the one poisoning the island out of revenge and has no idea that he's the real cause of it all. Well not like it matters anyway. Where he's going he won't need to know that.

"Hey fudgehole!"

"HAWHAW-Huh?"

"Who's got two thumbs and about to be bodied? You are!"
You thrust your fists forward with your thumbs pointing at Luke.

"Th-that ain't how ya do that-"
Pfffft. What does he think you are? Stupid? Of course that's how you do it! You just did.
"But no matter. You wanna go for a scrap? A'ight. Won't be the first, nor the last snot nosed brat whose career I'll cut short. Because if you mess with the Law... the Law messes you up pardner."

Luke readies his right hand over his gun. His fingers are perfectly steady and his gaze is sharp. The mood of the street shifts as people clear it in a panic. Suddenly the faint sensation of dread becomes much more apparent. The gallows and the graveyard behind the sheriffs office starts chanting "death" over and over again. This is gonna get ugly real quick. You look at Lyda behind you, she's still very angry despite her overwhelming fear.

"Hey Stitches-"

"H-Huh?"

"You know how to fight?"

"N-No..."

You smirk.
"You better learn quick then!"

"W-Wha-"

She barely even has enough time to react before you take off and charge at Luke. The mad cowboy scoffs at this.
"Tch. You just don't get it do ya?"

He fans the chamber of his pistol and releases a volley of six bullets. You manage to dodge around them confidently. Your ears picked up the sound of his shot and you've seen it before. Dodging it now is nothing but childs play. As you make it up to him you draw your sword and prepare to cut him to ribbons.
"No! You don't get it. Nobody tells me what to do. AND GETS AWAY WITH IT!"

But Luke just smiles confidently. Then as you're about to strike you hear the sound of metal striking metal and the whoosh of bullets flying. Somehow they bounced around to come back at you. Has he lost his mind? If those penetrate you they'll be hitting him next. Turning around to block them you see Lyda running around picking up six pebbles from the ground and tossing them in the air. She then raises her hands and crosses her two index fingers.
"No backsies!"

Suddenly the bullets disappear and get replaced by the pebbles she just tossed. They harmlessly bounce off your chest while the six bullets fly straight up far away from you. Amazed you whistle, completely ignoring Luke who seems pissed.
"Why you!"
He does a spinning kick and hits you in the chin with his spurs.

It's strong enough to send you into a nearby building with a loud "AAAAAAAA" but after blowing a hole in its wall you emerge unscathed.
"Didn't hurt!"
This little reset gave you some valuable information. Like how Luke has some tricks up his sleeve... but so does Lyda.

Throwing caution to the wind you charge Luke again, counting on the girls strange ability to protect you while you do the heavy lifting. It goes well first when Luke fires off a few more shots at you again, completely ignoring Lyda as she's not the one about to beat his ass. This time you don't even bother dodging and just keep running straight ahead. The stitched up girl gets scared but she does manage to pull off her trick in the nick of time. This time however you get a closer look at it as you're curious. She seems to blow a handful of silver dust on the rocks before tossing them in the air. Then the bullets disappear again, leaving Luke exposed for another attack. This time you don't hesitate and go for his throat right off the bat. But something catches your ear which makes you nervous.

"Ah. So that's the trick. Fine-"

He does a quick hip shot which bounces around for a while but since it's never flying towards you or her you ignore it. Stabbing with the falchion you attempt to skewer him but he easily sidesteps it and even manages to point the barrel of his pistol at the side of the sword. He shoots it in an attempt to break it which you answer with your own gun. Luke jerks his head to the side, avoiding the gun and reaches forward. He grabs you by the shirt with his free hand and pulls you closer. As you're wondering what he's thinking you hear a shout.

"WATCH OUT!"

"STOP IT!"
You cry.

"It's too valuable!"

The bullet which was bouncing up until now finally hit its intended target, a windmill. The whole structure comes crashing down right on top of you. Looking into Lukes eye you see that this is exactly what he wanted. Has he lost it? You turn into your hybrid form and brace for impact. The windmill lands right on your head and would've cracked open your skull if you were some pansy. But Luke wasn't that lucky. He appears to have been buried by it. Not content with leaving it at that you start digging through the rubble but find nothing other than scrap with some black rocks and dust.
"Where did that stupid rope guy go?"

"Rope guy?"
You hear Lukes voice.
"Now what could've given you that impression?"
His voice is coming from all around you so it's impossible to determine where he is. As you're looking around for him you hear a cracking sound coming from behind you. An entire arm separated from the body and covered in strange black rocks is levitating behind you, holding a gun. The shot comes so fast that you don't have enough time to dodge it and it nearly takes your eye out. But luckily it only managed to scratch it.

Flying away in a fit of panic you return to Lyda, clutching your bleeding eye.
"Argh! Didn't know ropes did that kinda thing!"

"Naw you idyot-"
Suddenly the black dust you saw reforms around the severed arm and Luke appears to be completely unscathed.
"That wasn't any rope trick. Though I know a few of 'em. Missy... care to enlighten this buffoon?"
>>

Lyda swallows nervously.
"T-That's why the sheriff is unbeatable. H-He wields one of the invincible powers. H-He ate a powerful devil fruit."

"Ayup."
Luke then gives you a cocky grin and invites you with his gun.
"Come on boy. Give it a shot! Hit me!"
You quickly draw your gun and shoot him in the stomach. The bullet puts a hole in his chest but instead of blood it only produces more of the black rock and dust which then closes on its own.
"See? Perfectly fine! In other words... ye'r outta luck pal. Because I'm an Obsidian Human."

You close your injured eye to protect it from further harm and stand up after dusting your clothes off.
"And?"

"Tch. Dumb lil' shit. Don't even realize the trouble you're in huh. A'ight. Suppose it's been a while since I could stretch the ol' fruit. Might play around for a while. Teach you the meaning of pain."

God this guy loves to talk. You really feel like shutting him up now.

Since he loves playing around so much you think he'll appreciate some of your antics. Getting up in your bat form stare him down. First thing first, you'll need to get up close to him. Once that happens either your Hasshoken or your heat based attacks should do the trick.

"Yosh! I know what to do now!"

"W-Wha- No! You can't just rush him again! It won't work!"

"HAH! Watch!"
You attack and watch Lukes movements for when he fires. He draws his gun and quickly unleashes a volley of bullets in your direction. At this point you just hope he'll run out of them sooner or later because this is getting ridiculous. Turning into a regular bat you safely get out of their way when you see him sticking his finger into the barrel of his gun and breaking it off. With a smirk he points the newly loaded gun and pulls the trigger. The obsidian breaks and now a buckshot of glass hits your tiny form, shredding your wings enough to make you fall on the ground.
"Okay! New plan! En garde!"

You morph back into a human and draw your sword to deflect the bullets like you did before. It works for a while but as Lukes firing speed increases your cheap sword begins to shake. The blade breaks apart as the last bullet hits it just right and it proceeds to lodge itself in your lung. Gasping you try to use your lungs while you still can and after a quick transformation release a great shout which damages the nearby buildings and carts. Lukes body cracks, much to his surprise but it reforms as if nothing happened. He seems to be satisfied with this as it further demonstrates his invincibility.

Down a sword and a lung you start thinking that maybe this isn't going to work out. Maybe thinking in such broad terms wasn't enough. God forbid, you may even have to properly think about this. You look around searching for answers, hoping that something would yield divine inspiration in your time of need. But there's nothing in this shitty town aside the open sky and some dumb buildings. Like the bank. Or that gun store. Hmmmmm.
Damn it! It hurts to think! Why can't it be simple? Like hitting him with some good old fish-man karate or something?

He keeps shooting you. It hurts. It'd be nice if you could shoot him back. But your gun is crappy and only ever hits the mark because he lets you have a few pity shots. It'd be so much easier if you could... I don't know. Shoot water bullets or something. But that does remind you of something. One day when you were practicing on the boat Jaws did tell you something.

"Silver! If you ever find yourself in a tough spot - wah wah wah wah -"
Oh great. What did he want to say again?
"It's my own special technique! Use it to get out of a pinch! You press your stomach out like this and then-"

Ah that's it!
Standing proud you straighten your back and puff your chest. Your cheeks swell and you look very intense as you prepare for something big. Luke even notices the shift and goes on high alert until he sees what you're doing.
"BLEEERGH!"
You open your mouth and drool all over your big wings.

Everyone present gets disgusted with you.
"What in the god damn-"

You fling your arm forward with a loud "NYEH" and several drops of saliva shoot out like needle shaped bullets. One of them flies past Lukes cheek and cuts into his cheek. Suddenly he starts to understand what you're doing and not knowing HOW you're doing it simply doesn't matter now. He realizes that you're doing something weird and he knows he needs to stop it. Rapidly he starts firing his flintlock revolver and shooting the arrows out of the sky. Unfortunately it also means that his own bullets start going to waste. When the two hailstorms stop his gun is only making a clicking sound and you are panting with your dry tongue hanging out.

"You're empty."
He points out.

"Nah. But you are! Now how about I start blastin' for real?"

"WHAT? You're bluffing!"

"You've yee'd your last haw. Pardner!"
Coughing once you manage to hack up a glob of blood from your lung and smash the back of your fist into it.

The blood splits into many smaller droplets which then shoot out in the direction of the Sheriff. He braces for impact and closes his eyes, letting his devil fruit take care of the rest. But his fears come to pass as he finds himself actually feeling pain. The cuts in his skin begin to sizzle as the boiling blood gets stuck in them. He falls to his knees from the pain.
"W-What is this?"

"Ghost Rain! Y'know. Like the pepper! How do you like it? I'm still working out the name of my attacks."

"AAAARGH!"

"I'll take that as a yes!"

>>
>>4547346
Also how about "Burning Batshot" for that one?
You know, like buckshot. But from a bat instead of for a deer.
>>
"T-That's nothing! I can-"
His body begins to turn into obsidian to reform but he seems to have a harder time reforming the parts where your blood struck him, most likely due to the heat. He seems frustrated. He's probably not used to feeling pain. Seeing this you take your chance and fly up to him in bat form before switching back to hybrid. You've screamed at him before, you heard his body react to your sound, you heard how his body sings. Now all you have to do is adjust the scream so it sounds the same as his.

"GHOST WAIL!"
Your scream hits him again and this time it looks like it dealt considerably more damage. Damage which he's having a harder time to recover from than before. Even if he gets back from that at least now you know. He can be damaged, he can be beaten.
"Kekeke! This will be a piece of cake!"

"You little-"
He raises his hand and points it at you as it becomes solid obsidian. Unlike before when it was only partially covered his arm seems to have trouble moving to the point where it's vibrating. It shakes and explodes into shards like a blunderbuss.

"Come on! Try something else! I'm tired of gunshots!"

"Fine!"
His arm reforms and it looks like he's about to slam it down on the ground. Seeing this Lyda starts screaming at you.

"RUN AWAY!"

>No. I don't think I will

You see him slamming down his palm on the ground and it begins to shake. Without wasting a second you take flight to escape whatever is coming. To nobodies surprise the thing that sprouts from the sand is a gibbet made out of pure obsidian. It's imposing but you don't see why it'd be dangerous. Oh well, time to kill this guy. Flying as high as you can while still seeing Luke you pull your fist back and begin to dive with your arm thrust forward. If all goes well your Hasshoken should seal the deal. As you fly past the gibber however something gets in your way. Your throat feels like someone is choking you and all the momentum you built up is suddenly transferred into your neck, almost breaking it. Looking around you spot a barely visible thread leading from your neck to Lukes construct.

"Neat huh? I found out you can make thread outta glass. Strong as hell too!"
He raises his hand and starts clutching the air, as if strangling someone.
"And don't try to shrink. I'll just make the noose follow you!"

You try to break free but not even raising the heat seems to do much against the strange thread around your neck and without air you can't scream either. You were almost starting to panic when you hear something being flung in your direction. With your wingspan you can easily reach it and snatch the thing out of the air. It's a gun. A very, very fancy gun. One that even someone like you knows that it's of excellent quality. Luke goes pale as he recognizes it.

"W-Where did you get that? THAT WITCH!"
He's looking around but Lyda has run out of sight.
"Y-You! Don't do anything stupid kid! Don't you fire that thing or we BOTH DIE!"

Judging by his voice he's not lying. But somehow you doubt it matters as this was not intended for you. So with a smile you toss it at him. He tries to grab it like someone would try to catch a bomb before it went off. But before he could get the rifle it disappeared from between his fingers and instead what the sheriff caught was a several ton safe filled to the brim with gold and Lyda sitting on top of it. But before she could congratulate herself for a job well done a black mist seeps out from under the massive safe. Luke reforms above her with one of his arms reshaped into an obsidian blade. He looks very tired and done with all of this, so he'll likely kill her on the spot.

But in a display of cruel irony a shadow starts looming over him as you appear behind the sheriff. True the noose is still around your neck but the shockwave was plenty enough to break the gibbet itself. Finally you have him. And you can give him what he deserves. Smashing down on him you hit the guy with the strongest Hasshoken fist you can manage and push him into and through the safe walls. As his unconscious body lies spread out on a bed of gold you look at Lyda, finally opening your bloodied eye and give her a thumbs up once you're done panting.

Thinking about how a solid logia would function when all we have to go off is Aokiji was tough. And I couldn't really use him because he mostly relies on the temperature rather than pure ice most of the time.
So from what we've seen from Kuzan I thought "He can turn his body into a solid but he can't exactly move like that can he" and I had to figure out what the upside of something like that would be.
Gotta say the concept of becoming a solid element is more intriguing than a liquid or some form of energy

With things calming down you sit down at the edge of the safe and start assessing the situation.
Bad guy: Asswhooped
Safe: Cracked
Sword: Broken

Total disappointment. This should've gone much smoother. The fact that Luke was some sort of invincible obsidian man doesn't change things. But at the very least now he's out of commission and you got a big container full of gold to "accept as reparations" for your troubles. You just hope that the others did much better than you because otherwise this was a very sorry performance. As you're sulking Lyda approaches you nervously.

"E-Erm... are you okay?"

"Oh? Me? Yes."

"B-But you're bleeding all over-"

"Oh yeah... Blood is supposed to be on the inside right?"
You stick your tongue out and start literally licking your own wounds which scares the stitched up girl who starts berating you rather uncharacteristically. She takes out a small lunchbox which has rubbing alcohol, bandages as well as a threaded needle inside. As she tries to patch you up you cringe and shuffle away from her because you won't let that weirdo do anything to you. She tries to chase you down for a while but stops once you turn into a bat and fly out of her reach. Even she must've realized you won't let her operate on you.

Finally you sit down on her shoulder as she walks over to the hole you punched into the safe and looks down.
"W-What happens now?"

"Huh?"

"What will you do to him?"

"Isn't that obvious?"

While I would normally agree, I don't want this kinda blood on our hands without a unanimous decision first. People in the crew might bitch about our decision if we just merc the fool since they got their own morals and what not, and that's drama you wanna avoid when you're stick out at sea. I say leave his fate to the towns people, but also make a case as to why they should dump his ass in the ocean.

You scratch your head and start looking for something. When you start lifting horses off the ground to check under them Lyda asks what you're searching for. You enthusiastically respond with "seastone" which Lyda feels like squashing because she doesn't think there's any on the island. At a loss once again you look around for something easier to find and exploit. Your eyes start twinkling when you find a barrel at the end of a big pipeline. Cracking it open reveals that it's full of water as you suspected. Taking it you put it down next to the safe and after tying up Luke with one of his own ropes you dunk him into the barrel until only his head is sticking out of it.

"There! I almost drowned in one of these when I was fishing and wanted to take one of the fish with my mouth! Should be good enough to hold him!"

"I-I suppose you're right. Without help he shouldn't be able to escape. I think..."

"So. What do you wanna do with him?"

"M-Me?"

"Yeah. He killed your dad didn't he?"

"W-Well-"
She bites her own lips and starts twiddling her thumbs.
"It's true. And I do want to hurt him. B-But I'm not sure I could-"

"I can-"
You draw your pistol and aim it at his head.

"N-No wait! A-At least let's catch up with your friends first. Make sure they are okay before anything."

"Ugh. Fine."
You holster your gun and sit down then tell Lyda to do the same since your crew should be wrapping things up on their end soonish. She's hesitant at first but eventually sits down... several paces away from you.
"So. What was that trick you did with the bank? That was weird."

"I also ate a devil fruit. But mine is sadly not as impressive as the sheriffs. I can trade objects if they have the same value. That rifle I threw is the most expensive thing on the island. It was made for the sheriff originally but it blew is arm off every time he fired it so it got put up for sale. With nobody having enough money to buy it. Luckily the safe with all the gold in it was enough..."

"Hmmmm. Big expensive gun huh?"

You take out your dinky little pistol and consider switching it out since you already lost your sword and will have to compensate for it. After standing up you go and look for the rifle in the bank and find where the safe ought to be. It's a bit weird looking but definitely a masterwork. It's long, almost as tall as you are and very thin. Taking it back to where Luke is you set it down next to the big safe, adding it to the big pile of loot you accumulated. As you do people start slowly coming out to the streets as the fighting dies down. They surround you in a big circle and stare at the destruction you've wrought. It's this crowd that your crewmates have to push through to get to you, each one of them dragging their own prey behind and throwing them next to Luke. The mayor, a big butcher, three whores and an entire horse. All the garbage on the island brought into one big pile.

Everyone looks tired and banged up but they are mostly fine.
"What's all this?"

"This Jaws is a safe! And this is a gun!"

"A jezail? Now that's a find-"

"HEY! THIS THING IS FULL OF GOLD! WHOOOOO!"
Marcella cuts him off as she peeks into the vault.

The rest of the crew becomes happy with the results of your work, as do most of the townsfolk. Some of them get scared and run away, likely the people who were collaborating with the sheriff and his work. But mostly people seem happy with the change. Even Lyda seems to be happy as she's finally starting to come to terms with reality.
"I, I may have made a mistake-"

"Hmmmm?"

"I thought you couldn't stand up to the sheriff. That this is why I couldn't switch you with him. But I guess he was no match for you instead."

"Oy Silver! Who's you're girlfriend?"

"She's not my girl or my friend!"

Gu steps up.
"Come now. Don't be like that! She saved us after all."

Marcella then shrugs.
"Makes no difference to me. Anyway Silver, what should we do with these idiots?"

"Oh I decided already. We're gonna dump them in the sea."

"Huh. Personally I would've recommended burning the whole place to the ground to rid the world of them but that works too."

"A-Are we really going to kill them?"
Hagetaka raises her voice but gets shut down by Marcella very quickly.

"Take a look at what you're wearing. That's what they put on us. What do you guess were they gonna do? If it weren't for Bonney we would be-
Anyway! Point is they are scum!"

Hearing this some of the townsfolk gather their courage and speak up so that they may make a convincing case for not ruining their lives. They tell you that they don't care about what you do to Luke and his fellows because frankly most of them were living in fear of them. But they do start pleading so that you don't hurt them. You assure the folks that you got no problem with them but you'll be taking some stuff because you fancy it. They nervously ask what you mean by that while occasionally glancing at the vault full of gold. You suspect they don't want you to take it.

So Lyda can swap people. Can she swap them with their bounties? Could we throw a few billion berries into the sea to kill yonkos?
>>
>>4549454
Technically yes. But you'd need a bigger ship to carry that much money. A much bigger ship
She also has a funny ability which you'll get to find out about since you didn't rob the place blind

>writing
>>
>>4549454
But there's also the fact that their bounties don't really reflect their true value, due to the abstract value inherent to all life, plus any value that their Devil Fruits have and the value of everything on them.
So it's not that easy to actually measure out a persons worth and then you'd need an exact amount of money to do it.
>>
An avaricious grin spreads across your mouth as you declare that you'll be taking everything, the gun and the gold itself whilst also demanding that the island would be renamed to Silver Island. At first they are horrified but as things continue their fear turns to joy. Apparently they had no idea about how bad you are at spending money. Since you needed to repair and restock the ship, as well as upgrade it you spent most of the gold that was in the safe and paying sometimes 300% more for something than its worth. Luckily you aren't quite bad enough at math to have spent it all and you were still left with some gold, enough to make this whole charade not completely pointless. But once everything was said and done, with most of the money collected by the mayor redistributed to the people things turned around for the better.

As the sun started to set your friends cleaned themselves up and dressed up properly. Lyda started making the rounds treating them while also taking a look at the townsfolk and addressing their health issues. In the meantime you got to dismantling the sheriffs office with your bare hands and built a rather stunning bonfire out of it. The people of the island felt the joyful mood spread to them as well, especially after Lyda notified them about the prayer trees being "fixed" so they started to flock towards you with all manners of party accessories. Quickly tables of food and drinks appeared around the raging fire and a proper party developed, which the battered, bruised, chained up and gagged scum of the island had to watch.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YE6yu5IWNHg

Everyone started having a good time as they threw caution to the wind and cast away their reservations. And no matter how quickly you and your friends devoured the food the tables simply kept growing and growing with big dishes while booze flowed like water in a river. Sadly you were denied access to it but you were more than happy with the literal horde of cows the cowboys provided for you to tap like a keg. As everyone was busy gorging themselves, dancing and enjoying the festivities a strange little group also showed up, seemingly to partake in it.

"How typical. We're about to head out and NOW is when the party is starting! I ask, WHERE WAS ALL THIS FOOD WHEN I WANTED IT?"

It's the pink haired girl that you saw on the first day here.
"Oh hi!"
You greet her with a big grin and a wave.

"Tch. Who do you think you are? Acting all friendly all of a sudden? Aren't you supposed to be a pirate?"

"Angel and Hook told me what happened! You helped them! That means you're a friend! Come join us! There's plenty for everyone!"

"Nah. Our pose just set. Gotta set sail. Just wanted to check what all the racket was about..."

"We have pizza you know!"

She makes several guttural gagging sounds and sits down sulking. You hand over a pizza box to her and she starts stuffing her face with it while muttering something along the lines of "I'm still mad". Her crew just laughs at this and joins in on the fun. While you're laughing your ass off at her forced anger the rest of your crew are more concerned about Lyda and getting to know her. Why are they getting ahead of themselves you have no clue.

"So you're a doctor? That's an admirable profession!"
Angel praises her while Marcella is rubbing her hands together.

"We could use that! And she's cute to boot so I have no objections."

"Yes. She saved my life as well as Silvers. She's a very skilled physician... even if she has some odd quirks."
Gu nods in agreement.

"Such as?"
Jaws asks with his eyebrow raised.

"I-I like to collect bodyparts..."
Everyone does a spit-take as they can't believe what they heard.
"I-It's true that I helped people on the island... but I also sometimes took things from them. Mostly after they died but sometimes I drew blood when I could."
She shuffles around nervously.
"I-I was never good with people. A-And I was alone for so long I thought- I thought I would build myself a friend. One I could get. One I could be friends with."

Most "normal" people around get freaked out by this. While your crewmates also get scared a bit they feel more like tearing up. They start pointing at her and begging you to take make her join with their stupid reasons. "Look at how cute she is" or "we must help this sad little girl". Bah. What do they know?

"Nnnope! And let me give you my reasons!"
You start counting on your fingers. Though you mess up and show the wrong number of them a few times people still get the idea.
"One: She stinks! Two: She's a big weenie! Three: I don't like needles! Four: She sounds like death! So no!"
Then you leer at her with the most dead serious look you can give.
"You may have won them over with your viles but I'm not so easily swayed you little sissy!"

"T-That's okay. I didn't want to go out to sea anyway. With things returning to normal and water being restored people will need a physician.
A-And while it may take a while for me to build a friend without corpses... I guess I can entertain myself like I always do. So thank you everyone but don't feel bad about me!"
She then takes out a deck of playing cards and shuffles them.

For some reason I want people to assume that we just kidnapped her instead of having her join our crew.

"WHOOOOOA!"
Your crewmates smugly smile amongst each other as they realize the issue has been solved. Without further ado you jump on Lyda and coil your arms and legs around her loudly declaring "MINE" and scaring the little girl to death.
"Come let's go be pirates!"

After Lyda passes out from being too flustered the others try to care for her and once she's back to her senses Hook and Angel take her away so she can get a proper bath as even they can't really ignore her current condition. As they leave you return to the festivities until Jaws looks up at the sky with half a turkey leg sticking out of his mouth.

"Hey look. The news!"
After buying a copy from the news coo he flips through the papers with vested interest.
"Oh. Silver! Come and take a look at this! I can scarcely believe it..."

You and Toxin shuffle over to him. At first you try to read it yourself but you are still too slow so Gu has to do it for you. Apparently someone, somehow beat one of the Shichibukai.
"I-Is this real?"
Omukade ignores reading out loud for you so he can quickly digest the information presented on the paper.
"Sir Crocodile of the Royal Shichibukais attempted a coup in the Kingdom of Alabasta followed by an attempted assassination of the Nefertari royal family... The Marines of the World Government lead by Captain Smoker successfully thwarted his attempt and captured the tyrannical warlord whom the people believed to be the Hero of Alabasta...
Holy shit. This is going to make a splash."

"Agreed."
Jaws nods.
"Lucky the marines were there. Can you imagine what a Shichibukai could do with a private kingdom like that? Especially after we saw what Jinbe could do. And now there will be a thousand idiots fighting for the empty Warlord seat."

"Do you remember such a thing happening?"

"Not in recent memory. Strange days we're living."

As they are discussing politics amongst each other you notice a slip of paper slide out from the news. You hear it call out to you so you pick it up at which point your eyes snap open. Your heartbeat starts sounding like a wardrum and you rip the paper in half.
"GOD DAMN IIIIIIIIIIIT!"

"S-Silver?"
"What's wrong?"

"That... stupid! MONKEY!"
You look down at the poster you ripped in half and read the first half of it.
"LUFF! That bastard! He BEAT a Shichibukai! HOW?!"

"W-What are you talking about?"

"Leave him be. You know how he is once he thinks of a story."

Your head jerks towards them and your eyes fill with madness.
"We start preparing now boys! We got a ship to raid! Can't have him outdo me!"

"Erm-"
Murray scratches his head and points to your side.
"Is that wise?"

You turn and see that Bonney is still there. While she's pretending to not have heard anything you're certain she did. But it hardly matters. You're buttmad!

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

You ignore Bonney and continue business as usual. Reaching under your suit you take out the map detailing the trade route of the tax ship you've nicked off the Marines. First things first, you need to orientate yourselves. Luckily it appears that Bandera is indeed on it with a name and everything. Unluckily it's not one of the destinations. You ask around the locals about whether or not they recognize any of the names on the map. They say yes but the strangest thing is that apparently the map is all wrong. It's showing a trade route that's quite literally impossible. Instead of following the trail it's going across multiple ones.

"Not surprising."
Jaws observes.
"What's the best way of avoiding unwanted guests? Taking a route nobody expects... or can follow."

"But how do they do it? You said the poses only ever point forward."

"That's true. But remember Eternal Poses? The ones that are locked onto a single island. Well it just so happens the Government likes to hoard them. And while you can make one it's expensive and how to do it is a closely guarded secret. So they likely hand the trade ships a bunch, all pointing to the islands they have to hit and one pointing home. Quite ingenious."

"Well that's a pickle. How do we route hop then? We don't have one of those do we?"

"No. And it may very well spell our doom if we tried doing it without a guide of some sort-"

Hearing all this Bonney pauses her feast for just long enough to spout profanities at you, though she did not swallow first.
"What are you idiots talking about?"

"We're gonna raid a World Government money ship!"

"He means a tax ship."

"WHAAAAAAAAAA-
Have you all completely lost your MINDS?"

"I take it you don't wanna come with then. Would you stop all that shouting then? We are convulsing the experts."

"Consult. And we have no such things. So we'll have to find a solution ourselves. Hmmmm-"
Jaws gets lost in thought.
"Come to think of it, I may have an idea. But it's definitely dangerous. We could use some native sea life for navigation. Fish have no problem swimming from one place to another."

"That's foolish."
Gu shuts him down.
"A fish knows its way around the water but it doesn't know the name of the islands. We might be better off finding a navy ship and using them to send an emergency call requesting an eternal pose. What do you think Silver?"

>Using fish sounds fun!

Take some heart burn mesicine my guy, get better soon! And yeah, I like his fruit. Obsidian is a surprisingly flexible material. Anything and everything sharp. Hell if modern obsidian is anything to go by people theorize that old obsidian tools were sometimes even sharper than modern day industrial scalpels.

Also, wasn't Luffy's victory versus not reported in canon like, at all? Or am I mixing that up with Moria cause here it doesn't say his name, just that he's a pirate...
>>
>>4550109
Yes. His victory wasn't reported at all. The govmebt can't have a pirate that saves people so they made Smoker the scapegoat. If you read my post you'll see that Silver simply sees Luffys new 100.000.000 bounty and randomly guesses it was he that beat Croc. And everyone just thinks he didn't take his meds again

And I have no such medicine at home sadly. Not even any baking soda to drink

>>4550239
I think that depends on whether or not the Navy can bullshit up or away the money so the cucklestial dickheads are appeased. I imagine if one douche hears a single ship was responsible for them not getting ten million new vases full of squeezed fishman baby oil they'd personally declare we deserve a 200 mil bounty.

When I read this I was a little confused, like how are we already at post Alabasta, then when I thought it over you were right the strawhats visited 4 Islands to our 2 after they entered the Grand line(Whisky Peak, Little garden, Drum and Alabasta) while we got Flip Flop Island(And our awesome fight with Jimbo) and the now Renamed "Silver is way better the Luffy" Island. Aw well, Im fine with it as long as there is alot of good weapons on the tribute ship.

That's a bit long but the islanders might accept Silver Island since they are already mining silver ore

And don't worry. Just as you had to dick around on Flip Flop Island the Strawhats will be stuck on Jaya and Sky Island for a bit

After his fight with the butcher Gu sighs and makes his way back to where his superior is currently being held captive and tortured. Poking the rope with his chopstick Omukade manages to snap it with the liberal application of vibrations, which not even the mighty fish-man karate couldn't break. Not when its user is dehydrated at the very least.
"Are you alright?"

"Cough. My wound has reopened and I'm gravely injured. But I'll live. If not... I want you all to eat me so that some part of me can follow you on your journey."

"We're not doing that!"
As Jaws is freed and he clears his parched throat as he's about to speak. But he's forced to stop when he hears the sound of hooves approaching him. He raises his hand and stops Gu from doing anything.
"I'll handle this."

"I'll just sit this one out then."

Murray jumps down on the ground and walks up to the horse, cracking his knuckles. Though he misses his trusty anchor he thinks handling a horse should be easy. Right? Well he quickly finds out why the sheriffs horse commands almost as much respect as its rider. The equine spins around on its foreleg with unnatural agility and kicks him in the stomach strong enough to send him flying. But not for long as the horses tail quickly morphs into a length of rope which follows him and ties itself around his torso. He gets swung around and thrown into a water tower, making it collapse and spilling most of the towns collected water onto the streets.

Jaws sits there laughing to himself.
"Oh so that's how it is! You're the one with the ropes huh? Well, I hope our chef knows how to prepare horse meat!"
His eyes flash red with bloodlust as his body absorbs the moisture, rehydrating him to peak performance.

More of the horses mane turns into ropes which begin lashing against the fishmans skin. Some do cut into his skin while others simply crack near him, letting him experience not just the sound but the full force of the miniature explosion. But Murray withstands all of it and simply takes a deep breath. He punches the air and the ropes all freeze in the air, proving that they are still "living". Once they were stopped he grabbed a bunch of them and gripped them hard. Now he was swinging the horse around by its own hair, smashing it into buildings and the ground. Once he felt like the horse was sufficiently tired out he started reeling it in, drawing the beast closer inch by inch.

Awai the horse was now within reach and so Jaws grabbed it by the throat.
"How does it feel? Being tossed around? Or choked?
...
I'm talking to a fucking horse. Sigh. Fish-man Karate Secret Technique! Tetsugekitai!"
With a flex of his muscles he sent the water clinging to his body flying in all direction, creating a dome shaped explosion. The horse went limp in his hand and fell to the ground, dead.

That's Murray done with.
Sadly I don't think I'll do anything for Hagetaka after all.

While the others continue to bounce ideas around in a rare moment of brilliance you actually start thinking while sipping on your milk.
"Oy."
Jaws and Toxin look at you, expecting you to make a decision.
"I can fly you know. We can use that to navigate."

Murray sighs and starts scratching his head while Gu stands up to take a look at the horse burgers he's cooking.
"Look Silver that's good and all but you should've realized the sea is too big to circumvent it by flying. You'd need to fly very far to find the next island and even if you could do that how would you find your way back?"

"No. Put your hand behind your back. Now I'll try to guess how many fingers you raise. Zero, Two, Four, Zero..."
Jaws freezes as he's starting to grasp what you're thinking about.
"I can see with my ears."

"Echo location! Of course! But that still has a limited range."

"Buuut! It lets us find an island once it's close!"

"The problem is navigating the sea until we get to one. How do we fix the issue of getting turned around by the Grand Line?"

"Well how do you do that elsewhere?"

"With a compass. But those don't work here!"

"And how did people navigate before the compass was invented?"

"The... sun. And the stars! Silver! You're a genius! You can fly above the clouds to check the stars! T-That's incredible! How did you-"

"I was just thinking. Big name pirates travel all over the Line right? You said those special poses are rare and expensive. So everyone must have their tricks to navigate."

As you're discussing this Bonney just keeps rubbing her head in frustration.
"Wait so you are ACTUALLY serious about this? Do you KNOW what sort of effect that would have?!"

"No. But we're about to find out! It's okay if you don't. That means there's more to us."

"It would annoy the World Government. Which is more than fine by me."
Jaws agrees with you.
"The only real question is how much do we want to prepare for it?"

"What's that Jaws?"

"Don't get me wrong Captain. I think we can. But we might need a little extra to pull off something like this. Ships like that are massive and well guarded. Some new equipment for the ship is definitely in order. And maybe we could use a few extra hands on deck."

"I like the sound of that!"
You turn around to look at the partying townsfolk and ask them if you can buy some more stuff from them tomorrow. Murray helps you out when they start asking questions and tells them that you need things to hunt Sea Kings. They say that it should be no problem to make some heavy duty stuff for you.

Laughing you decide that this is probably enough pre-planning for a while, at least until you get back to sea. You decide to get back to partying until the girls return, dragging Lyda behind them. Looks like she got a little make-over in the form of a new dress and a bath. That alone was enough to make her much more tolerable to be around. Though she does insist on keeping the stitches, in fact she was about to take out a needle and add a couple more to herself during the night. Most likely she uses it to cope with stressful situations. Though she does seem to thaw out a little once the others force her to join the party. She even sits down and plays poker with you.

Once there was no more partying to be done people slowly withdrew back in their homes. You on the other hand just circled around the fading bonfire and slept out in the open, the warm embers keeping the cold night at bay. In the morning after everyone got themselves back together you decided to deal with the last big issue left on the island. The matter of your prisoners.

You dragged each of the subdued scumbags to the edge of a cliff facing the sea. As you're munching on what remains of Lukes horse from yesterday you look over them and feel nothing but contempt.
"Okay. Let's get this over with-"

Raising your leg you are about to kick all of them into the sea when the former Sheriff starts pleading oddly enough.
"Son... don't do this!"

"Wait... you're not my dad! You want to confuse me eh?"
You push just a bit more but he starts screaming.

"WAIT! PLEASE! I'm terrified of the water! Anything but that!"

The others, drawing courage from him start pleading as well but you don't care nearly enough about them to care. Lyda however does and steps up, not to talk to them but to you.
"I-I have a proposition! W-would you like to have his Devil Fruit?"

"Huh? You can do that?"

She nods.
"B-But... he needs to agree to it. I can trade devil fruit powers."

Well. That's interesting.

Well if your crew wasn't "unique" already now you might become the pirate who has a logia user as a subordinate
>writing
>>
"Really? You can do that?"

"Y-Yes."

"Neat! I'm not up for it though! Anyone else? Any takers?"

There aren't many options that's for sure. Murray refuses to even consider it. The sacrifice would be too great for him. That leaves only two people left as potential candidates. And out of those two Angel is the more eager one. She steps up and says that she agrees to take his fruit. Lyda nods and looks at Luke expectantly. The Sheriff is greatly upset by this.

"You want my power? Not a chance!"
You shake your head and push them over the edge but hold onto the rope, keeping them from falling.
"RIGHT! RIGHT! Darn it... I got no use for it at the bottom of the sea anyway! I agree!"

Lyda then looks at Hagetaka who also agrees to the exchange. You pull your captives back and let Lyda do her thing. She pokes Lukes chest and a shiny globe pops out which she moves around with hand gestures until it moves to Angel. She grabs it with her bare hands and eats it. She sticks her tongue out in disgust which is a sure sign of it working. At least you hope. On the other end Luke appears to in quite a horrid state, like something was missing from him which is understandable. So you decide to mercifully end him since he already looks dead.

Pulling the jezail you "bought" from the locals you point it at him.
"So long pardner!"

You pull the trigger and feel it kick back with such force that it knocks you on your ass. Your hand feels like it may be dislocated, if not broken. Everyone else was also blown away, some more literally than others as there is nothing remaining of the cliffside where Luke and the others were. Sitting up you look at the destruction and start chuckling.
"Oh my! That's dangerous! I wonder if it feels just as bad a second time-"

"NOOOOOOOO!"
Everyone starts screaming but they let out a sigh of relief when you pull the trigger again and it does nothing. Your disappointment is immeasurable.

After Lyda pops your arm back in place you gather everyone up and return to town. On the way you tinker with the miniature cannon and the others help you figure out that it had much of the mechanisms one would expect ripped out, leaving it only being able to fire once before it needs to be reloaded. In exchange it was all replaced by pure firepower. Some mad man probably took the "invincibility" of the sheriff too seriously and assumed he could wield it. Probably was a big hit to his pride that a gun could make his body disperse when he fired it.

After returning you informed the townsfolk that the deed was done and calmed them down about the thunder they heard. Then you claim what was promised. With Murrays help the local smiths produced you a bunch of gear capable of taking down a Sea King. And if it can take one of those behemoths out a dinky ship won't be a problem. The main thing are some big harpoons which will certainly come in handy. But on top of that you reinforced the ship with some extra armor and acquired a lot of more conventional types of ammo like shrapnel, explosive cannon balls and chained balls.

Once everything is packed onboard however you feel a strange sensation of something missing. At first you dismiss it as nothing important but then you remember.
"THE JENKINS BROTHERS!"

You quickly sprout wings and fly over to the place where you left them. Turns out they stayed in that exact spot all this time. When they see you the start pleading.
"Captain. Please! Cab we's go now?"

You get them a few water bottles to rehydrate and release their bindings.
"Okay guys! We're leaving now! You can stay here. But remember! You are part of my crew and I want you to keep things in order on my island!"

They awkwardly nod and you leave them to do their things while you do yours. After returning to your ship you finish with the preparations and depart from the island with some of the inhabitants seeing you off. Shortly after setting sail however you have to watch over Stitches as she's very sea sick. And as you're patting her on the back while she's leaning over the railing you get to meet a familiar face as a rather odd looking ship passes yours.

"HEY! You idiots are going the wrong way!"

"NO!"

She seems to be frustrated but you see that the edges of her mouth are trying to curl upward into a smile.
"Then go ahead! Get yourselves killed! One less crew of idiots at sea!"

"We'll meet again!"

"We'll be enemies then!"

"FRENEMIES!"

She waves you off as the go their separate way. Sailing away from your designated path in search of vast riches you sail into the unknown. Some of your crewmates still have reservations about this as they fear accidentally sailing into the Calm Belt... or worse. And not without reason. As it turns out while you can easily identify the sun it's much harder to repeatedly pick the same star out of the... like... three that are up there. So you do get lost. Like hell. Even though you worked in tandem with Marcella and her maps.

Now Hook is sitting at her table with the map you retrieved from the marines, several copies of it you made with crayon and all of her doodles on it representing the potential paths you could've taken. But no matter how many times you go over it you can't figure out where you could be at the moment.
"I swear Silver... I'll KILL YOU ONE DAY!"

"But why though?"

"BECAUSE OTHER THAN THE CALM BELT WE COULD BE ANYWHERE! We had to sail through GOD knows how many storms, fight off DOZENS of sea kings! It's time we gave up!"
You look at the log pose still attached to her arm. It's currently your only life line. If you use it you could return to your original path before it's too late.

"Hmmmmm... How about the pose?"

"The pose?"

"Yeah. It always points to the same island right? We sail around, watch how it turns. Can't we use that to figure out where we are?"

"That's- not a bad idea actually!"
Marcella storms out and starts giving orders to everyone so the Dauntless can start making circles. In the meantime she keeps a close eye on her pose and tries to figure out exactly how distant you are from the island and using that she draws a circle with your next island in the middle. But this maneuver took hours as you're quite far apparently.
"Okay. Now we have a rough estimate of where we are. Silver... can you go and check which way is north?!"

"YEAP!"
You quickly take to the sky and come back in a second.
"That way!"

"FORWARD IS NOT NORTH! WE DISCUSSED THAT! NORTH!"

After a few more tries and several instructions regarding which star to look for you do manage to find north and after that it's relatively easy to navigate towards the next island in the chain, especially once you're close enough to the island for echolocation to work. However after a quick trip to the island and one or two questions from the locals you find out the tax ship has already passed. Not good and you can't exactly loiter around either as you need to catch up to it. Luckily you do find SOMETHING which COULD be used to point you in the right direction.

Shortly after leaving the island to continue your pursuit you see a convoy of ships. Navy ships specifically. Six galleons going in a straight line AND in the same direction where you're coincidentally headed. It's doubtful that they are following the tax ship as it should have its own escort. But they are going in the same direction. You could use them. But you'd need to be fast to catch up to your target

"Yosh! Those guys should do! We'll follow the small fish to lead us to the big juicy steaks!"

"And what if they spot us?"

"They won't!"

"And what if they join up with the tax ship?"

"We'll worry about that when we get there!"

So you start tailing the navy ships from decently far away. You allow them to sail beyond the horizon and then get up to the Crows Nest where you proceed to shout at the sea. Your echolocation ensures the convoy doesn't leave you behind even if you're hit by a storm. Though this is a very safe way of following them it IS very boring. So every now and then you take flight and use a spy glass to check out what they are doing but not even that gives you much to work with as you are too far away to make anything out. Good thing too because that means they also can't see you. But there is one funny little detail you find out. Namely that their sails don't have the usual seagull symbol on them. Instead it's a letter and a number backwards because you're looking at them from behind. G-8. Odd.

You keep this up for a few hours and pass another island before you pick up another large object with your echolocation. When you do it feels like you've gone insane. Because this one alone is bigger than the six ships combined. But as it turns out you haven't gone insane. The Heavenly Tribute ship is the size of a navy battleship. It's so big it dwarfs your own the same way a man would dwarf an ant. And by the looks of it the navy ships have pulled up to them. Bummer...

Now hear me out here, we don't know if the tribute ship has defenses of its own alongside this escort, but logically there's got to be a gap where the ship meets its escorts amd where it splits to collect more taxes. I say we wait for that interval, then swoop in and nab the ship, maybe even swapping this one out as our capital! I mean its huge and we could retrocit the hell out of it, Queen Annes Revenge style!

You decide to sit back and wait while keeping as far away from them as possible so that the marines don't notice you. It's fairly dangerous since they all seem to have stopped for some reason. Starved for information you remain seated in the crows nest and listen carefully for any clue that might help you. It's hard to make things out with all that distance and the sea roaring but you do start figuring it out and catch a few snippets.

"Well it was a pleasure. But I'm afraid we must be on our way now."

"Thank you Jonathan. And good luck with securing Alabasta."

"Thanks. We'll try our best. Oh... but one more thing. If you'd allow me to be so bold. I'd advise you to be careful. I read a report that a pirate crew obtained a map detailing your patrol route."

"Your warning is appreciated vice admiral but completely unnecessary. There's not a single soul who'd dare to attack us. And even if they did we have more than enough men to take care of any attacker! Isn't that right Onigumo?"

"I didn't mean to insult either of you or your men Lacroix. But we've been getting more and more reports of unusually wild pirate activity. All of us would do well to be on guard. Have a safe journey!"

The conversation ends and a little while after you hear the six escort ships move away from the heavenly tribute ship. This sounds like an excellent opportunity to go down and tell your crew what you heard while waiting for the other ships to get far enough.
"Guys! The ships are headed to Alabasta! We're in the clear!"
They all collectively sigh with relief. But all you can do is grin.
"Load the harpoon and get ready! We got some hunting to do!"

The others start making their preparations. Cannons are being filled with a variety of ammunition and the main artillery is loaded with the custom made Sea King harpoons you ordered just in case. But there is still the matter of how to do this. The giant ship is more than ten times your size. You need to consider your approach carefully.

Go all out fast as you can no holds barred but don't damage the ship too much in case we wanna nab it. Faster we get this done the better.

Cheers for the run Spooks, can't wait

Y'all think that Silver got dat D initial? We got the "voice" thing which seems to be pretty much only a D exclusive ability... Roger, Luffy... only guy I think that acts as an exception would be Oden. Y'all think it's a Void Century thing?

Momo has it. If you want to go in that direction Poseidon has it as well
It is the most rare ability exclusive to only the most powerful/important people. So no wonder it's mostly used by D's
>>
>>4552686
Well yeah but Momo for all we know could only hear Zunesha. Luffy and Roger could hear both Zunesha AND the Sea Kings, and here's Silver who can understand based Crabbo... can... can Silver understand Sea Kings? Dare we test it out?

Also on a side note I think the general consensus is a quick and stealthy ship-jacking.
>>
>>4552756
Momo is obviously inexperienced so that could explain his lack of ability. Also he just plain sucks but whatever.
Roger could hear basically anything.
Luffy has an affinity with understanding living beings, animals or people.
Silver is better with objects and kinda sucks with alive things. Luckily people tend to wear clothes and carry objects which have a great deal to tell

Crabbo is a special case like Zunesha and the Sea Kings. Animals great enough for their voice to be perceptible. You could try the great Sea Kings but it'd be a gamble

Yeah. STEALTH looks to be favored. We will continue based on that when the time comes
>>
>STEALTH! Cause as much chaos as you can before attacking

I'm jelly that we get stuck doing high profile raids and populus uprising like normal pirates while Luffy and co get to have Arabian and then sky adventures. So I'm throwing in a new island idea.
An island that has a massive cave network populated by mole people and/or "Not-Drow." Deeper down however live the island and caves' original inhabitants, ant-people who are enslaved or something to keep them hidden. Hopefully with an opportunity for a bug crew member since the strawhats took robot, zombie, and (basic) animal companion. Also an ant shipwright seems neat
>>
>>4552906
I got you covered for the next island then. If you choose to ignore Alabasta
But that's something I can neatly slot into something I already have. Cool
>>
>>4552906
>>4552908
Also had an idea for a doctor crewmate who ate the mold mold fruit to become a fungus man, since he could make medicines like penicillin on the fly. Since we have a cute doctor hostage anyway, he could also be a good antagonist by zombifying the ants, since cordycept fungus does that irl. That's all my petty brainstorming has now, though
>>
>>4552919
Think we got doctor covered but that fungus idea ain't bad. Mold is super easy to grow on a ship, especially below deck, and loads of mushrooms are edible.

>>4552906
Have faith in Spookyng anon, he got us covered!

>>4552908
See?
>>
I may as well drop an island I've had rattling in my nogging for a bit:

An island that is surrounded by a massive, stationary and semi-permanent storm. Being in the eye of the storm, the island itself is safe and habitable.
The storm is completely impassable outside of periods where it's strength lessens so that normal ships can pass through and not immediately sink. Said periods would be roughly a week apart, give or take.

I was also thinking that the storm would dissipate completely once in a while, and the island's inhabitants would throw a big Festival to celebrate it. I'm not sure how often this would happen tho. Was initially thinking monthly but that seems a little too often.
>>
>>4552919
Someone recommended a mushroom guy once. I have an idea for that as well but definitely not a doctor. More like a botanist moleman.

>>4552931
This sounds like Tortuga from that one obscure Pirates of the Carribeans game that only I played and nobody else
>>
>>4552908
What about an anti-gravity island?
An island where the gravity is simply gone! Not reversed, but gone!
So you can sail and swim through the air like you would water!
and get blown away by an errant windstorm

Maybe in the New World because that's a bit too wild

Shit dude he went toe to toe with Marco we may be in over our head.


Also I just realized that using bat sonar for island navigation makes this kinda like Sunless Sea, always felt that game would be what it's like for the majority of people sailing in One Piece.
>>

And skies.
I also found it amusing, though I didn't plan for it. Only realized after the fact

Also why is everyone concerned about Onigumo? I know he's actually a vice admiral and therefore very dangerous but come on!

Well duh, the only other Marine that matters is leaving, we're basically in the clear. Besides, bigger you are the bigger a target your family jewels are. Don't tell me the giant marine doesn't expect the way smaller pirate to nut shot them?

So I don't think I need to tell y'all why we need to guard our doctor with our lives. Like, all the way to the New World, ESPECIALLY in the New World. Get in close to some powerful Yonkos my boys.

>>4554220
Very curious what she exchanged to get the fruit out of Luke. We should ask.
>>
>>4554282
That is a good question. I wonder if Angel deemed what was valuable or if Lyda did.
>>
>>4554303
I hope it isn't something ephemeral like her hunting skill or some lifespan.
>>
>>4554303
Seeing as how he was willingly giving it away, it could have been deemed as 'worthless' and so she could freely exchange it for nothing.
>>
>>4554303
Keep in mind she was a hunter of Flip-Flop island. She was probably a natural born swimmer, blessed by Crabbo. That ability isn't exactly useless, specially to one who regularly hunted underwater.

That reminds me, we didn't get our Sharkko because Doggo isn't exactly accurate.
>>
>>4554743
She can just get a diving suit, it's not that bad. It might be difficult to find one that fits wings but if we can handwave other clothes related issues like with the devil fruits then it shouldn't be a problem.

You jump down from the crows nest and land with a loud thud which shakes the deck a little. The others are waiting for you to deliver your report which you're very eager to do.
"Hehee! They are gone! The ships are sailing somewhere called Alabasta!"

"Alabasta huh? That's the kingdom that was in the news. The one Sir Crocodile wanted to take over with his criminal organization."
Jaws observes.

"Most likely they are going to clean things up."
Marcella nods.
"So? What's the plan?"

"We go and give them a big surprise!"

"Right-"
Murray then steps up and starts divvying up the roles.
"We'll wait for the cover of night. Until then we keep following them from a safe distance. Silver, that's on you. Once it gets dark I'll take a dive and go from below."

"I wish to partake as well. I'm eager to test out my new abilities."
Angel volunteers which makes you grin.

"Then that leaves me, Gu and Lyda on the ship."
Seeing an opportunity Marcella takes the lead of the remaining forces.
"Silver! You take Hagetaka and fly over to the marines. With distractions coming from above and below we can hopefully sail up to and latch onto them without much trouble."

Looks like you got a proper plan! With the patience of a beartrap you wait for dusk to arrive at which point you blow out all lightsources on the ship. Soon you start seeing the glow of the treasure ship off in the distance and make your move. Letting Hagetaka mount you in your bat form you take off while Murray limbers up and jumps into the dark depths. As quietly as you can manage you flap over to them, seemingly undetected at which point Angel leans forward and starts whispering in your ear.
"What now?"

Well. That looks like a great time down there! It'd be a shame if someone stole it from you...
"Let's go to the crows nest and knock out that guy! Then I'll go down and make a mess!"

"Ah so I can do my work in peace?"

"Erm... yes!"

You circle around a bit, carefully staying out of the lookouts sight whilst avoiding direct moonlight so you don't get noticed. Once the marines back is turned you swoop down and let Hagetaka jump down who kicks the guy in the neck, knocking him out. She secures her target then gives you a thumbs up. It's showtime! Taking a dive you spot some unguarded cannonballs. Biiiig mistake! Quickly you swoop down and knock a few guys over before grabbing one of the explosives with your claws and heating it up before hurling it at the pile, detonating it. A small localized fire erupts which alerts the Marines. They immediately suspect an attack and start looking around but they don't have to try too hard as you touch down at the ships nose.

"Alarm! Raise the alarm! We're under a- WHO'RE YOU?!"
One of the higher ranking officers spots you and draws his sword.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yk5PRDlD_34
"Hello friends! You're being attacked by none other than Captain Silver! Please resist!"
A firing line forms before you to which you react by turning into a bat and flying around the place as they try to shoot you down.
"Kekekek! Lotsa strong guys! Ooooooh!"

You see towering before you is one GIANT of a man, easily larger than your ship! He draws a BIG sword and starts ordering the other marines around.
"Intruder! Where are the royal guard?! CURSES! Fine! I'll handle this myself!"
He swings his sword quite fast for a guy his size but he still misses completely as you can see his movements far better than he can see yours in the dark.
"What?!"

You laugh a bit once more and fly around the ship snapping ropes, knocking over barrels and breaking wooden things, all of which "somehow" catches on fire a short while after. Chaos begins to spread and the formations of the marines breaks up so that they can contain the spreading flames. Seeing this you feel satisfied as you hear both Hagetaka jumping between the masts, shredding the sails of the ship as well as Murray breaking the ships rudder and punching a hole into it so he can enter unnoticed.

But as your focus vanes the giant man notices it and swings his sword downward. It's a close shave but you manage to barely avoid it thanks to your instincts. You put up your guard, waiting for the next attack but it doesn't come as another voice you've heard before calls him out.
"Lacroix! Don't fight this gnat! You're endangering the ship!"

"Then do something about him Onigumo!"

"I'm on it! MEN!"
The other high ranking marine slams down his sword.
"You are the enforcers of order in this world! Don't allow this scum to tread on this holy vessel! FOR JUSTICE!"
>>
>>4555240
There is this something that pisses me off so much about Onigumo's shtick that I just cannot describe. Everything from its execution to the foundation its built on just makes no sense to me as to how anyone can support it. It's such blatant world government propaganda that's the only way you can support it is the fully by its brainwashing.

I say we knock some of onigumo's slavery supporting teeth out to prove our point.
>>
All of a sudden, emboldened by vice-admiral Onigumos words the marines that aren't too busy with extinguishing the flames become extremely motivated and turn their focus on you. Some of them attempt to shoot you even though their comrades are right behind you but after they see that you can dodge the bullets almost perfectly they abandon that idea and charge at you with swords instead. Scuffing you call them dumbasses and kick the first one of them back so hard he knocks over his buddies like bowling balls. This however doesn't even begin to slow them down as simply more and more and more of them keep pouring out from below deck. Some of them are even wearing fancy full sets of plate armor with plumed helmets. You call them queers and draw your sword to meet them in combat... only to realize you forgot to get a replacement from your stockpiles and now you're waving out a broken piece of scrap.

"AAIIEEEEEEE! RUN AWAY!"
You turn tail and retreat but being surrounded by marines from all sides means you can't really go anywhere and you don't exactly want to fly away either. So you run a lap around the place and return to the big crowd of angry dudes with swords so you can drop kick them so hard they roll back down the stairs.
"KEK! Guess justice is standing on shaky legs around here!"
But as you throw out your witty insult you hear a whooshing sound coming and duck so fast your hat stays in the exact same spot while you are already crouching.
"WHOA!"

You see the sword that almost decapitated you coming down so you thrust your broken falchion forward and block it with the stump as your hat falls back down on your head. The guy called Onigumo frowns at you with those shrouded eyes of his.
"You little. Who do you think you are? A no-name pirate like you daring to attack this ship. I'd like to use you to teach other fools a lesson but such a punishment would be too lenient for this crime."

"I'm Silver."

You continue to push against him. He's strong, very strong. Unlike Luke this guy knows how to fight! You feel yourself being overpowered so you grab the hilt of your sword with both hands and try to hold him off when your ears pick up something. The sound of his sword changes a little and just like that it begins to cut through the steel of yours like it was paper. This is BAD.

>And bad means fun! (Fight him)
>RUN AWAY!
>Well, they should be distracted enough. Time to signal the rest of the crew!
>Other?
>>
>>4555251
>Well, they should be distracted enough. Time to signal the rest of the crew!
I want to fight him, but I want some backup just in case things go south, or more accurately, if the dice roll low.
>>
>>4555248
>It's such blatant world government
Well... yes? He uses Absolute Justice
Furthermore, yes. The government does actively brainwash people with their propaganda, altering news to suit their needs. But on SOME level they are still right. Not about them being the good guys mind you, but about pirates being bad.
Keep in mind the VAST majority of pirates ARE the pillaging raping kind.

Onigumo keeps pushing you down and he's almost done cutting your sword in half, now he's just an inch away from the hilt and once that happens it'll be you next.
"Struggle all you want pirate! But once I cut you down I'll personally offer you up to the gods as punishment for your sacrilege!"

"A-Okay. But... what will you do about the others?"

"Other-"
His eyes flash and he enters a state of shock. You see hands sprouting from the back of his head and reaching for his ears but it's too late.

Somehow you manage to complete your shift quicker than him. Or at least it feels that way since your body doesn't actually change at all yet you feel your vocal cords strengthening.
"REEEEEEEE!"

His eardrums rupture and blood spurts from them. He falls backwards, giving you enough time to let go of your stunted blade with one hand and reach for your jezail with it. You raise it at the sky with a shit eating grin on your face and pull the trigger. The rifle firing manages to shake the entire boat and knock Onigumo back. But more importantly the sound of it is loud enough so the Dauntless can hear it. Far away at sea the lights of the ship are lit and the black ship becomes perceptible. It's rushing forward at great speed. Some of the marines try to alarm the others to try and shoot it down with cannonfire but it's too late. Your ship gets close enough so that it can aim its starboard cannons. They fire and the custom made harpoons that they were loaded with are shot right at the treasure ship. Those things were made to kill Sea Kings so they go through the ships hull no problem. Though they are far too small to deal significant damage they are excellent anchor points and they do shake the ship quite a bit.

Using the chains attached to the harpoons the Dauntless pulls itself closer and nestles up against the Heavenly Tribute ship. Now safely outside of the firing line of its cannons the ship can rest safely and your remaining crew members climb up with the help of the hooks Marcella spawned in its sides. On queue Angel jumps down from the sails and begins facing off against the marines who find it strangely difficult to hit her. Screams of "LOGIA" start spreading amongst their ranks just as the others finally climb up and Murray bursts out of the deck... or rather as he uppercuts a marine and put a hole in the floor. All hell breaks loose as your boys begin their work.

Meanwhile you have a half paralyzed Onigumo still writhing on the ground and the massive bloke who, against his orders begun swinging his sword as things have gotten out of control.

You ignore the marine rolling on the ground in pain and look at your gun. To reload it you'd need to put in gunpowder, cotton, the bullet and cock it back. Too much time, not enough asskicking. So you look up at the most apparent threat, the giant which you haven't neutralized yet. Putting the rifle back and wincing as it pulled your shoulder you look up and take flight.

A few of the marines notice this and they jump after you with their swords. You smirk at their attempts for a moment but notice something. The sound of their weapons change until they all sound roughly the same or at least VERY similar. Even two of the same item sounds differently, yet their different swords are almost identical, some are just louder than others. Feeling nervous about this you fly away from them which sadly catches the attention of Lacroix the giant. He turns to look at you and you can see genuine fury in his eyes.
"You!"

He seems angry. And that bulge of his muscles is making you even more worried than the Marines somehow changing the voice of their swords.

"I WILL STOP YOU!"

He swings his sword and it feels like he could split the entire sea in half with that thing. However! That one you shouldn't be afraid of. Doing a dive kick you meet the blade and most everybody expects you to turn into jelly at the moment of contact. What they don't expect is for vice-admiral Lacroix to shudder as his sword shatters like it's made of glass much to your amusement.

"Ghost Dive!
Keke! Should've done that trick like the others! Now I get to show off!"
You take a deep breath and shout at the giant like you did with Onigumo. Except this time you're still under the residual effects of Hasshoken and notice your voice reacting to it. Could it be that you can apply it to your screams?
"Hasshoken! GHOST VAIL!"
The giants chest suddenly implodes as if a big sphere just hit him and pushed the air out of his lungs. As he's recoiling you take another deep breath and let your bodyheat rise until your body is glowing.
"Chillie Bat! Medium!"

With a stronger flap of your wings you move through the air as if fired from a slingshot and start floating before the giant for a while. Taking aim you focus on your intended target to take him out with 100% certainty and give him the old "Crabbo Special". With your wing formed into a fist you concentrate on making the same vibrations as with Hasshoken whilst your body is flaming hot.
"One, Two, Sunshine! Here WE GOOOOOOOOO!"

As if the bells of the apocalypse were rung you hear a dreadful feeling wash over everyone when you strike Lacroix right in the nuts. Every. Single. Male on the ship that witnessed this falls on the ground, clenching their family jewels as the loud crunching sound assaults their ears. Naturally the girls are unaffected as are you since you don't care and anyone that wasn't looking. The fighting stops for a moment as Lacroix spits up blood, his eyes turn white and he curls up in the fetal position. He tries to scream but he can't. When asked by his men if he's alright his answer is a simple "No" uttered in such a high pitch voice that every piece of glass near him broke.
>>
And I think I'll stop here because my kokoro can't take more of those
Instead I'll leave you with the knowledge that with a cheap shot you essentially achieved what Luffy did in the freaking Paramount War. A few months early
>>
>>4555450
Dear god. What an evil move. Does it affect every male that witnesses it? If so that's a very strong stun move.
>>4555452
Great run again Spooky, this was a lot of fun as always. Although I suppose we're going to go back to low rolls next session.
>>
>>4555450
Fucking told y'all we could handle him.

>>4555452
Nah dude come on, one more post, please Spook? Lets wrap up this raid! Also I have to ask, are we like the Straw Hats, where there's just us, Marcella, Jaws, the cook, etc., or so we have like, an actual crew to run ariund the ship? Cause like, we're on a jacked Marine ship right? That must take more than just half a dozen or so people...
>>
>>4555457
Every male that doesn't have steel nerves or concrete conviction.
Also everyone who used to be a male or became a male for those okamas
>>
>>4555461
No mooks. I offered you the option, you didn't take it
Just a small squad of officers
>>
>>4555461
At the moment it's just us. We we're going to bring on the Jenkin Boys, but we left them at Silver Island to make sure the place stays under control. Whatever that entails.
>>
>>4555450
I almost feel bad.
Almost.
Ok I do feel bad.
>>4555452
Thanks for the run Spooky
>>
>>4555464
>>4555465
Aw man, I was so hopikg for like minions. Well, could we change that later? Or is it like, set in stone?
>>
>>4555450
Thanks for the run
>>
>>4555469
Yea I assume we can pick up some deckhands later. And we do somewhat have some with the Jenkin boys if we ever want to pick them up.
>>
>>4555474
yeah i'd rather have GOOD deckhands rather than just random mooks.
like, people that would count as decent fighters or skilled individuals on other people's ships and not just a bunch of losers.
>>
>>4555469
Not for a while. But later down the line I have something in mind
Still wouldn't be a traditional crew with mooks though
>>
>>4555452
Just putting this in perspective, we pulled off something, which is comparable to the Marineford Arc, while the strawhats are at best, the middle of the Skypeia arc. Luffy hasnt even gotten gear 2 yet and we're already outdoing him.
>>
>>4555761
we're fighting motherfuckers with haki and winning
we don't even know what haki is but we can sense when people use it
silver's a goddamn freak
>>
>>4555774
also i gotta say, this is absolute maximum pirate shenanigans and i'm loving it
attacking a government tax ship using actual pirate tactics and... and...
oh my god, i think silver is just captain jack sparrow. the most unpredictable bastard out there.

To be fair to Luffy we have spent more time training in this time period than him he's just coasting on the stuff Garp taught him as a kid and the training he did to not be a floppy rubber noodle up until Alabasta.

Nah, I don't think hia crew would allow him. Well, short of Zoro that is. Honestly I look forward to the meeting at Saboady and the subsequent insanity that follows. I can see us trying to one up the Straw Hats at auction just fucking cause. Like, we don't have the money but we get into a bidding war with the Dragons for the shits and giggles.

Now here's a question for y'all. Should we be the Shiki to Luffy's Roger? He's gonna be Yonko level, we're basically rivals already...
>>
hey its possible to get into the main story a bit before the shaboady conflux. if we catch a ride on the sea train, which i think arent strictly on luffy's route in the grandline, we could wreak our own brand of havoc in water 7 or enies lobby. mess up canon a ton
>>
>>4556411
I kinda wanna go to Water 7 for our own reasons man. Messing with canon SOUNDS fun but honestly is just a jerk move on our part, putting Spook through more work. Spareing Interractions sound more fun than straight up breaking canon.
>>
>>4556425
The only reason I'd have for going to Water 7 is to get a new ship. I like our current ship, but we're going to need to upgrade at some point
>>
>>4556440
Definetely. Either sell it at a profit or give it to Marcella to run while we run the bigger ship, get ourselves the start of a fleet! More boats means more raids more raids means more dosh and we are ALL about that dosh.

i don't know why, but this gives me the feels.
>>
>>4556384
I totally seeing us becoming rivals, or coming out to help out in times of serious trouble because we're the only ones allowed to win against each other.
That and their stupidity will pull them together.
>>
>>4556411
>>4556425
>>4556440
I either want to meet them at Water 7 or when we can enter the Florian Triangle with them so that we can pick up under appreciated Ghost Waifu, and have little Lydia have a corpse off with weird surgeon dude.

>>4555761
Few mistakes
>You pulled it off with a cheap shot. Luffy just straight up knocked one of them out
>The Straw Hats are still in Alabasta recovering but getting ready to set sail

>>4555783
Yeah Luffy hasn't gone under the wake up moment of CP9, only Crocoboy. He's only starting to improve while you have been from the start. By this time you could beat him with a bit of effort. But the moment he gets the gears it's equalized

>>4555784
I like it

>>4555844
No. But excite him enough and he will abandon almost anything to go and kick your ass if he sees you

>>4556377
Yeah. Sabaody is gonna be wild. Especially since Silver wouldn't mind messing with the other Worst Generation members once he hears about the word "Supernova"

>>4556384
>>4556385
>>4556388
That honestly sounds like two stoners unraveling the mysteries of the universe

>>4556411
>>4556425
>>4556440
If you really want it sure, but I can offer you alternative ways to upgrade your ship.
But don't let that dissuade you. I'm absolutely fine with canon breaking. In fact that's what I originally expected and prepared for with some unique adventures added to make it a bit less predictable

>>4556393
>>4556446
>>4556453
>>4556472
You are finally starting to understand I see. But you still have much to learn

>>4556478
Florian would be fucky actually. I'm not 100% sure how the different crewmembers would even handle it (Perona specifically)

>>4556486
>Jaws
>OG fishman
>Hody Jones dickheads
His tattoo slipped past you didn't it?
>>
>>4556561
imagine if moria tried to recruit us to put a "vampire" bat person in his little entourage. we wouldnt take the deal, but we would fit his motif if we werent busy ruining they day of everyone we ever meet, sans Jaws.
>>
>>4556561
Wait. Jaws has that Hoady tattoo? But he's fucking BASED, he's not a speciesist, he just doesn't like the World Government, who does? We had the fuckin bro moment and everything!... Spook, is Jaws not based?

Also
>But the moment he gets the gears it's equalized
Shit, what can we do to up our bat-game? We haven't got any rumble balls... could we pull a 2Y Chopper and shift our forms? QUICK, WHAT EXTRA FORMS COULD WE MAKE WITH BATS?!
>>
>>4556580
If I'm remembering right he ran with them for a while before realizing they blow and left. That's how he ended up on that first island we were at.
>>
>>4556580
Learn how to combine fishman karate with hasshoken
>>
>>4556580
>>4556584
Yea I think going the route of combing the two with our screams will do a lot.
Maybe we could eventually turn into a swarm of bats? I'm not really sure what the limits are with devil fruits.
>>
>>4556478
I assume you mean Perona but I dunno she is weirdly loyal to Moria.
>>
>>4556591
Moria likely raised her.
Also before he went APESHIT Moria was actually based.
He had a good, loyal crew which he loved just like Luffy. Then Kaido slaughtered them which broke his mind
>>
>>4556581
>All the more reason for him to duke it out with them if you ask me
>>
>>4556591
he was insinuating trying to recruit perona, but the lydia comment was her out corpsing hogback
>>
>>4556594
Makes sense.
Also he had a hell of a manly jawline before Kaido knocked it clean off.
>>
>>4556584
yeah i want to combine the two into a unique style as soon as possible

silver's "way of the vibrating fishbat" style
>>
If you ask me the best points for canon fuckery are:
Enies lobby
The war of the best
Sabody
Fishman
Dresrosa( though if Ace still dies Sabo needs to get the mera mera no mii

I can also see Silver working together with the revolutionaries though he probably wouldn't actually join them.
>>
>>4556589
Bat swarm is no possible, unless Spooky decides that it is. Going by things we have seen altering for bigger ears, wings, voice, or more fur is possible.

We could theoretically get more fur to amp up our fire abilities, turn our self into an immobile sound amplifier, maybe some fuckery about warping our wing membrane around our arm to make pressure shockwaves. Or have the membrane recede so or long fingers are able to wrap around multiple weapons or for larger slashing talons.
>>
>>4556605
if we're fast, we could also bullshit a way into the sky. but its gotta be so stupid, itll give the rest of the crew an aneurysm
>>
>>4556610
Oh also kaiju form is on the table.
>>
>>4556612
We'd probably need Rumble Balls for that, no?
>>
>>4556613
rumble balls or lots of training, but it's possible to do it
>>
>>4556613
There might be other methods. What they do is alter the wavelength of the DF power but we've seen others (Kaku) achieve similar results to Rumble Balls natty so it is up in the air.
>>
>>4556581 #
>first island we were at
We were on that weird bird island? I thought it was like, that one Mafia island.

>>4556589 #
>>4556610 #
There's that one Resistance bird dude in the Reverie arc whi can turn into a bunch of crows. Unless he ate Oda's special Rip Off Rip Off fruit, then l hey, anything is possible.

Also I just learned apperantly bat fur is super staticky. Electro-Bats? Maybe making our wings super sharp and flying super fast to slash apart stuff instead of just smashing 'em? Bats are super good on corner turns thanks to their unique wings! Razor-Bat!

>>4556594 #
>>4556600 #
>Kaido is so chad he turns other chads into virgins
kek

>>4556613 #
>>4556618 #
I'm honestly liking the idea of Rumble Balls less and less. Chopper does those weird point things of his without the use of Balls right? With a bit of training maybe we could pull something similar?
>>
>>4556621
rumble balls are literally just medicine that forces your body to use a form it can't actually handle yet
he doesn't need them later after he's trained himself
>>
>>4556621
>We were on that weird bird island? I thought it was like, that one Mafia island.
I mean the very first island, the one we started on. He just swam for a while and ended up there, and got weak. Then we fed him and that's how we met him.
>>
>>4556620
>Kaido is so chad he turns other chads into virgins
You have no god damn idea

>I'm honestly liking the idea of Rumble Balls less and less
After all we've seen the Rumble Balls seem more and more like Steroids artificially improving a Devil Fruit for a short time at various costs.
Chopper himself showed he can change forms with just bio-feedback alone and Kaku could also do similar shit.
At this point I'm almost convinced it's just Brute Forced Awakening in a pill. But since you're not actually at the level to handle that it fucks you up
>>
>>4556621
I forgot about the Revolutionary but we don't know what his fruit is and it doesn't work the way we've ever seen a Zoan type so who knows.

As for Rumble balls they're performance enhancers it is possible to get those results natty but probably not the variety and extent Chopper unless we use them unless the person is a freak.
>>
>>4556631
>I forgot about the Revolutionary
I don't blame you. Sometimes I forget the Revolutionaries as a whole
Seriously? What did they do all this time? Job to Blackbeard and then job at the Reverie?
Aside Sabo stealing the Mera-Mera no Mi and Dragon acting like a chad it's literally nothing else than a bunch of trannies acting like they matter while almost everything revolves around the WG and Pirates dickslapping each other
>>
>>4556633
not like they helped spearhead the greatest prison break in history
>>
I really hope we get our hands on the vampire fruit before Redfield does.
>>
>>4556635
Ivankov would've just kept up his Rocky Horror Picture show in the basement and COOM endlessly if Luffy didn't show up and alerted him.
They are just muscle
>>
>>4556591
>>4556594
But she was pretty quick to abandon him when the strawhats were fighting Moria, she was packing up the Sunny with all her cute zombies and taking the treasure, then she got sent to Mihawk's Castle after she ran into Kuma.
>>
>>4556639
Ok this is definitely a crackhead theory that probably won't work, but could Lyda transfer a devil fruit to someone who already has one? We see she can transfer them, so I don't see a reason she couldn't do it as long as your giving up something with the same worth?
Vampire bat would be pretty cool.
>>
>>4556673
I don't even know if anyone has ever had more than one fruit, so for all I know the laws of the universe just won't allow it.
>>
>>4556670
Yes.
And then every time she heard about him or was reminded of him she cried. And when she realized he was alive after the Paramount War this is how she reacted
Do not underestimate Go D Usopp. If I had to fight him I'd pack my shit and leave as well

Say what you will about her, you can say a lot of shit in fact, but I do think she actually cared about him. Even Absalom and Hogback for some strange reason. They sure were a bunch of freaks but misfits stick together

>>4556673
Not in her current state no
Awakening maybe?
And definitely not without making a proper payment.
By the way, I did see that post wondering about what she gave to Luke in exchange and it will be adressed
>>
>>4556670
She just didn't want to get in Moria-sama's way!
>>4556673
Now this is conjecture until we get a chance to ask her but I think the reason she needs a person to agree to give up a devil fruit because they are in a sense priceless. A person would have to give up something ridiculous like Brook giving up his musical skills.

Hey spooky, I have a bit of a request. if we don't already have a bounty yet, can our nickname be "Long John" Silver? Cause we could have been a doctor, or perhaps a financier, but we all chose to follow a more challenging career.
>>
>>4558320
IIRC there's already a long john in OP
>>
>>4558320
It's already Cavalier Silver
>>
>>4558321
You fooled me into looking up One Piece Long John and I just got a load of good deals on red one pieces so jokes on you.

Seriously though is there? I wouldn't put it past Oda for a second but I camw up with nothing. It soungs like a giant name
>>
>>4558329
Honestly I don't know. I just remember it being mentioned the first time long john was brought up.

Its a bad nickname for Silver anyway, since nicknames in one piece are descriptive, and there's nothing about Silver that could really be associated with Long John.
>>
Crossing your arms you begin laughing at the fruits of your labor until you hear a "You're wide open!" coming from behind. Quickly you react by shrinking into a small bat and returning into your normal form as the sword meant to decapitate you harmlessly flies past above you. When you return to size you headbutt the guy in the jaw hard enough to make him spit some of his teeth out. As he's knocked out cold you turn to the remaining marines.
"NEXT!"

They contemplate attacking you until they get smashed in the face with an anchor, get poisoned, impaled on fishing hooks sprouting from the floor or cut by very sharp pieces of glass. Meanwhile your new medic is nervously crawling around the place, treating whoever she can and conveniently stitching them up so they can't move. For their own protection of course.

That leaves you with one very angry vice-admiral left. Seemingly fully recovered from his previous injury, an achievement considering his eardrums burst a minute ago, Onigumo stands up with his unwavering frown as he's stuffing some sort of cotton balls in his ears. He's raring to go with those 8 swords of his, hoping to get revenge for his injured comrade and to bring you to justice.

You could indulge him and add another vice-admiral to your tally marks. Or alternatively you could just occupy him.

Nice one m80s. Though, how is it that Onigumo's crit range is higher than that of Lacroix's? Isn't Lacroix currently a vice admiral while Onigumo is only a rear?

"Lacroix."
He addresses his fallen comrade yet he's not looking away from you. Looks like he's taking you seriously.
"We made a mistake. We should've listened to William... Will you be alright?"

Still in a high pitched voice the crying giant responds, making you chuckle.
"Yes! Show him the meaning of Justice!"

"I understand... Soru!"

Your laughing stops when he disappears. Not only that you can't hear his movement either until a brief moment later when you hear him stepping on the deck behind you. Without enough time to react you dive forward to avoid the first two swords but the other six still manage to strike your back, albeit they only manage to do a shallow cut. As the next attacks come you transform mid-dive to slip between them. Flying away you see the eight armed men jumping after you. Again and again. He's jumping on the air! But something stops you. Your limbs become stuck on... something.

"W-Web?"
You turn your head and see that Onigumos rear has swollen in size. Or perhaps it was already that big but his coat was hiding it. Without many options left you turn into a hybrid and increase your bodyheat to burn the web. As cinders start falling you turn around in the air.
"Did you make that with your butt? I don't mind I just want to know if I have to shower or not..."

Without a word he slices with his swords and lacking any better options you meet him with the claws on your legs imbued with Hasshoken thinking that it should give you protection from whatever he did to his sword. The clash is loud but brief. He ends up trimming your nails very well and then proceeds to give you a close shave across your belly. A very close one. But thanks to your effort you're not disemboweled.

After a bit of falling and some shock you manage to twirl around and land feet first. Looking up you see Onigumo standing on some threads he spread around the place. He seems pissed that he didn't manage to deal as devastating a blow as he hoped. But you're still standing. And now it's time for you to fight back!

Actually remind me again how we can light ourselves on fire? What kind of bat is able to self-immolate?
>>
>>4558413
>Show him your devil fruit and burn his webs to ash
I kinda wonder if we could imitate the Rokushiki Geppo with Fishman Karate. You know, kicking the water in the air and using that to stay aloft.

>>4558433
It's not that Silver is lighting himself on fire, he's just raising his body heat to ridiculous levels.
He can do that because the Ghost-faced Bat -the bat Silver's fruit is based on- has a high body temperature.

It's one piece logic

>>4558448
You would still burn
You're resistant to high heat, not immune to it
without haki at least
>>
>>4558440
Oh absolutely. But I think it'd be better to have it and not need it, than to need and NOT have it.

For instance, being able to air walk would be handy if Silver is otherwise prevented from flying - like being bound or having his wings shredded.
>>
>>4558451
Isn't it better just focusing on other techniques?
>>
>>4558455
Mastery of any kind is still useful. Unlocking something like that would lead to greater understanding of Fish-man Karate and further down the line more techniques.
But there's also just plain old Geppo

Smirking you fly up in the air. Your super heated body manages to burn the many strands of web on contact and as the fire runs along them it spreads to more and more. It looks very pretty as embers fly all over the place. But Onigumo does not appreciate it much. He's forced off his web and now you see him kicking the air repeatedly to fly somehow. Still it shouldn't prove match to someone with actual flight not just air hopping. The greater mobility lends you an edge as you circle around him waiting for an opening.

Like a hawk you swoop down to get a hit in, however you see something peculiar as Onigumo bends backwards and just avoids your kick at the last moment when you can't course correct anymore. He then grabs you with one of his arms and throws you down at the deck with unbelievable force and jumps after you, hoping to impale you seven times with the swords he didn't let go of. You try rolling out of the way and striking him but he adjusts his flight path and you're back at square one. So without any better options you close your eyes and focus on your hearing. At the last possible moment you use the sound of his blades cutting through air to pin point their position and twist your body accordingly. His swords miss your core but he manages to pin your wings and your legs to the floor like a piece of a science exhibit. You try to headbutt him but he just leans out of the way like he was expecting that to happen.

Onigumo then leans forward and some ash from his cigarette falls on your nose.
"I was going to take you in for a proper execution. But you're far too unpredictable and thus dangerous.
Any last words pirate scum?"

"I- a-a- AAAAAACHOOOO!"
Your nose twitched from the ash and you let out a big sneeze. To both of your surprise it also blows a hefty chunk of your hair batty hair in the air, almost creating a black fog around you. Onigumo is puzzled by this and doesn't seem to know what to make of it. And neither do you to be fair. However when he hears a crackling sound coming from his mouth he looks down at his cigarette and he begins to panic as sparks fly out from it, igniting the cloud around you and creating an explosion.

Suddenly he's blown off of you and you are free, though now roll around on the ground. Looking up you see his suit is singed and he coughs up a bit of blood.
"H-How... How can you someone cause, so much destruction, without any-"

He seems a bit shell shocked while you're fine if you ignore the many stab wounds, and the muffled hearing from the kaboom. But your ears do perk up when you pick up hints of Jaws calling out to you.
"SILVER! We got the gold!"

After shaking your head a bit your hearing returns as your wounds mend and get back on your feet. Onigumo is starting to get it back together but he's obviously slower than you are. Looking at the others you see them expecting orders. Clearly you didn't imagine things. You still need to tell them to abandon ship in a non-too obvious manner so the marines don't immediately know what your plan is. Then inspiration comes from the heavens.
"GUYS! I'M GONNA DO A THING!"
They don't need any further encouragement and abandon ship as soon as possible. And before the marines could properly react to anything that's happening you take your time to fly up to the tip top of the big ships main mast and begin screaming at the marines below.
"GENTLEMEN! It was fun. But I'm afraid we must part ways now! If you want a rematch you know where to find me! And of course! Never forget the day you ALMOST caught Captain Cavalier Silver!"

Jumping overboard you watch and laugh as the flabbergasted marines open fire at you. By the time you land on the ship the giant harpoons have been withdrawn from the belly of the Heavenly Tribute ship and you're all ready to get going. Without wasting another second you untie your sails to ride the winds. Right away you hear the marines ordering each other to "Fire" and "After them" but no such thing happens. You look at Jaws who's laughing to himself and pointing down, where he "misplaced" all their cannon balls. Yet they are more upset by the fact that they are dead in the water. Their ship has no sails, no rudder, most of the masts are broken and their wheel got destroyed. Plus they have a few holes where water might get in. In short: They aren't going ANYWHERE without reinforcements.

Complete and total victory!

You sail for a fair distance until the light of the fires on the ship can no longer be seen. Then go a bit further just to be on the safe side. Maybe that way you can get out of the way of any incoming reinforcements. Once it feels like you're safe you can finally fall on your bum and let out a deep sigh.
"Phew. Glad that's over with. Now I can start bleeding in peace!"

As you say that your wounds open up and let out a lot more blood than before, prompting Lyda to do a quick little check-up on you and the others. During first aid your crewmates also share their opinions regarding your little raid.
"Agreed. I thought this fruit would give me the same kind of invincibility as it did for the sheriff. Guess I still have to make sure to dodge things. By the way Ms Doctor? Could it have something to do with what you did? That trade?"

"I-I don't think so. At least none of my previous trades resulted in an imperfect swap."

"I see. But I still have something that's been bothering me. What did you give to him in exchange?"

"E-Erm. Your ability to swim. You would've lost that anyway. And it would've saved his life. So that made it fair. But I can't trade part of a person unless they agree to it."

"S-So if we didn't shot him he would've survived? You're evil..."

Marcella then stomps on the ground and shouts.
"OI!
Aren't you guys forgetting something? Forget all that noise! TURN AROUND!"

While still being bandaged and jabbed by needles you look over your shoulder and see the shiny, shimmering MOUND of gold so big and heavy its presence alone is threatening to turn the ship on its head from the imbalance it's causing. Partially out of a desire to jump into the hoard like a pile of autumn leaves and partly because you have to you start reorganizing things and spread out the treasure so it threatens the boat a LITTLE less. But in truth you just wanted to count exactly how much stuff you got.

And you conclude: It's a lot.

As gold fever is rapidly spreading amongst the crew Jaws at least manages to hide his satisfaction long enough to look at you for orders.
"Well Silver! We did it! Gyogyogyo! What now?"

"We play with the treasure! DUH!"

"Okay okay! We'll do that don't worry! But we need a destination. To lay low for a bit and count our gains!"

"Well where can we go? Back where the pose leads right?"

"Not exactly. Check this out!"
He pulls out an Eternal Pose out of his pocket.
"I nabbed this thing. Figured we want it more than they do! It leads to a place called Alabasta. Should be close enough."

"Hmmmm."

If we go to alabasta, all well be doing is following the strawhats while they have all the adventures.

>>
>>4558579
>Let's return to our course
I've a feeling we'd just barely miss Luffy, if he already hasn't left Alabasta. Besides, I'm not even sure how we'd get to Alabasta without an Eternal pose
>>
>>4558592
Alright in which case
>>4558579
>Lets return to our course
Chances are we'll run into him soober or later, likely in Jaya. Jaya's a big enough port that both Luffy, Mingo, and Blackbeardbwere there simultaneously so there's a chance.

>>4558597
>He pulls out an Eternal Pose out of his pocket.

It'd be only temporary. You could still return to your path if you leave before the pose locks on to Alabasta

"KEKEKE! Alright everyone! We have our pose! Let's head straight to it! And hopefully hit a few islands on the way so we don't starve! YEAY!"

With Marcellas help you turn the ship back in the right direction however you seemingly can't take your eyes off your crew for half a second without them slacking off so they could stare at the gold. It gets so bad that you simply get fed up, pack everything into a big bag and squeeze it through a doorway and lock the whole thing. When you close the door it bulges heavily under the pressure of all that gold. It's time to flex your captaining muscles and put your foot down.

"ALRIGHT! LISTEN UP! I liked the idea of messing with the marines! And I found it funny that you drilled a hole in their ship where the gold poured out! But I'll throw it all in the sea if we stop being pirates because of it! Now here-"
You slam a piece of paper on the wall and have to stop with your speech when you remember that paper doesn't stick to wood so you have to nail it to the wall.
"I wrote down some rules!"
It's all in crayon so it'll be washed off come first rain.
"1. Everyone gets the same share! Even the ship! And that's all I got for the moment. I'll fill it out later but you get the idea. Let's just be good pirates okay?"

After the others get their enthusiasm about the gold curbed a little bit you can finally focus on properly sailing once again! Unfortunately given the massive amount of time it took for you to get this far and the additional distance you had to cover to reach where the pose is pointing plus the short little stops you had to take to resupply meant you had to sail for quite a while. But finally it looks like the climate is stabilizing and the pose is not moving much anymore. Your destination is finally within reach! However before you could get excited something else happens which makes you forget about dry land completely. The news arrives!

The others freak out when they read just the headline. "Brutality at sea!" Everyone stops what they are doing and gather around Marcella who has to read the whole article out loud.
"Not much time has passed since the news of Alabasta shook the world. Thanks to the eternal vigilance of the Marines and the World Government a prosperous and historically significant kingdom was spared quite a dark age. However the world can't rest easy as the Golden Age of Piracy appears to be reaching a turning point! And it's not looking like things will get better. Just recently a once famous island had to reorganize itself after a group of vicious pirates almost utterly destroyed it. However thanks to the hard work and dedication of the locals the island of Bandera stands strong! And to commemorate their rebirth they took a new name! One of hope and strength: Silver Island!"

You grin.
"HEY LOOK! It's the Jenkins Brothers! They became the new Sheriffs!"

"And look."
Gu points at their photo.
"That star looks like the arrows on your flag rearranged."
>>
"And it appears that similarly ferocious pirates have been terrorizing the nearby waters plundering them for treasure! Peaceful trade ships were reportedly assaulted overnight, their defenders beaten to the last man and their valuable cargo stolen! In a recent interview government officials stated that the navy will redouble its efforts to maintain peace and justice in the world. So at the very least we can rest easy, knowing there are still adventurous spirits out there working to make the world a better place."

Hagetaka frowns.
"Who wrote this garbage? Are they downplaying our achievements while also lying about how bad we are?"

"Look! This was written by Arthur!"
You take the paper from Marcella and smile.
"Looks like he's following my exploits kekeke!"

But as you lift the paper up a piece of parchment falls out of it. Angrily you look down to pick up that trash because it's likely another one of Luff's stupid bounties. However when you flip it over it does put a smile on your face.

I think it might be a good idea to lay low on the first non log pose island we come across, no doubt the marines will know which island our log pose points to, plus it will give us time to heal our injuries. On the other hand it means there is a chance that the marines can build up their forces but since we also stole an eternal log pose and Alabasta is in a weak position they might think we have gone there
>>
>>4559280
You just reminded me Bonny is at the next island and is probably dealing with the brunt of any retaliation coming our way. Well hope that helps light the fir of rivalry under her ass. But yeah a random place to lay low for awhile would be good and a decent place to either spend our hide our gold.

We could theoretically use our two log poses to triangulate a hidden place to hide the gold.
>>
>>4558725
I can do those. But Mary would have to share with the rest of the marines

So I've been reading, and I'm enjoying so far. I'm only on chapter 36, some of them are a lot longer than others, and I think of my favorite parts are the bits where Oda just talks about things he likes or answers questions.

>>4559880
Why does everyone have a sad backstory? I just finished reading Sanji's, and now I'm nervous to see what Nami's is.
>>
>>4559984
Because if they were happy backstories they wouldn't have a reason why they weren't still living a happy life.

My favorite chapter so far is chapter 99 for the name alone. "Luffy Dies"

Also a good chapter all around too.

So that huge whale is actually native to the West Blue, bit surprised we didn't see one of those before entering the Grand Line, but I guess we did get out of the Blue pretty quick.

As for Laboon, I was considering doing a bit with Island Whales while in the west but I didn't want to ape the pirates that took in Laboon. (Yes. They DO appear later. Several hundred chapters in)
Not to mention that they are pretty rare and usually hang out deep underwater

Yea it's been very enjoyable so far, and I do see what you guys mean now by Luffy not really improving. Like he's came up with a few techniques, and he's definitely gotten stronger just from fighting, but he's never had a reason to really push himself yet.
I'm about to get to Alabasta, so I'll be "caught up" with the quest, so things we hear about I'll actually know about. At least to a certain extent.
>>
It was certainly an interesting couple of days for the Straw Hat Pirates. After their tearful parting with their good friend Nefertari Vivi the pirates departed Alabasta and were beset by a former enemy, the infamous and incredibly dangerous Miss All Sunday otherwise known as Nico Robin. She demanded to join the ranks of the Straw Hats after their captain saved her life despite her demanding not to.

Though she successfully managed to win over most of the Straw Hats with the exception of the swordsman Roronoa Zoro rather quickly and without much trouble they are still at least a little bit worried around her, she sometimes catches the long nosed boy named Usopp talking about her behind her back. Well not like it matters that much. At the very least it's a lot more pleasant on this ship than she initially expected. Most of the pirates are rather welcoming to a fault, there's a cute little reindeer that she can have fun with and the food is excellent. Even the tomfoolery of the chef Sanji is more amusing than irritating. With her lounge chair, a good book and the freshly made coffee and cakes available to her 24/7 Robin finds herself oddly relaxed. Now the only thing she needs is todays news and she'd actually enjoy herself.

"Ah. What excellent timing."
She puts her book down and waits for the News Coo to deliver the papers to her. She pays the bird and flips the paper open just as Sanji is bringing her a refill.

"Your coffee Mademoiselle. I hope it is to your liking!"

"It's perfect as always. Thank you."

"Aaaah! Thank you Robin-chwan! I only had to start over 15 times because nothing short of perfection would be good enough for you! But it was all worth it for your praise- Huh.
Is that todays news?"

"Yes. Would you like it?"

"Ah yes. I like being up to date on matters. But only after you're done of course."

"Don't worry. I'll be quick."
She flips the paper over and sees the headline. She gasps. Such an interesting development! She reaches over to her cup but as she's completely absorbed by the paper she knocks it over, spilling her coffee.

"R-Robin-chan! What's wrong?"

"Nothing. But this is something else."
At first glance the article is nothing more than your typical "times are changing" drivel. But years of being on the run taught her how to read between the lines of government double speak, lies and censorship. The key lies in the details. Truth is much harder to utterly conceal than to subvert. Leave some core truths and spun a story around them to fit your narrative. From that experience she knows that the events detailed in the paper were not picked randomly. Reaching between the pages she takes out the freshly pressed bounties and sees the first one.
"Ah. There it is. Who would've thought?"

"Hmmm?"

"Here are the papers cook-san. Please read the main article and tell me what you think."

"W-Whoa!"

"What do you make of it?"

"Destruction of an island? Attacking trade convoys? Well... it's not like this isn't typical pirate behavior. But "Brutality at Sea" that's a bit excessive isn't it?"

"Exactly. These are things that pale in comparison compared to the Alabasta incident. Though these are indeed horrible things the scale of them is completely different."
There is definitely more to things than that, she's sure of that. Luckily she still has some underworld connections thanks to her time with Crocodile. She may use those to figure what exactly happened. But there are more immediate things to worry about.
"I suspect those were all committed by the same group of pirates. Here. This pirate had a bounty of mere 20.000.000 bellies. Now it increased more than ten times overnight. And if he was indeed responsible for these recent events then they printed him new bounties in mere days. To think I almost recruited him into Barroque Works."

"You, what?"

"I always checked new or interesting bounties and recommended them for Crocodile. Thought he might make a good asset. But Crocodile shot me down since his plans were in their last phases and needed no more henchmen. I thought if he showed up a few years earlier he would've made an officer. But it seems like he may have toppled Barroque Works instead... Oh and here's his associate. A fishman with a bounty of 65.000.000."

Sanji looks over at the ominous bounty posters because that is indeed somethign he wants to check out.
"Oy oy oy! Seriously? Those guys?"

"Hmmm? You know them?"

"YO! LUFFY! CHECK THIS OUT!"
A pair of stretchy hands come in and snatch the bounties out of Sanjis hands.

The rest of the straw hats move over to see what the fuss is about. Zoro whistles. Nami is just muttering "It can't be-" while Usopp is repeating the mantra of "Scary" over and over again. Chopper looks at them in confusion.
"Hmmmm? What's this? Are they pirates?"

"Y-Yeah Chopper. We met them at Reverse Mountain once. They started at the same time as us. I think that guy had a bounty 10 million less than Luffys. Now it's 100 more! Looks like we dodged a bullet on that one! Luckily it appears they are on a different trail than us."

"Oh thank god! I was feeling my Can't-Run-Into-This-Guy-itis coming out!"

But all the while Luffy is just staring at the paper with a blank expression. While the others are merely worried about the big number on it he can see the deeper, layered message encoded within the piece of paper. Nobody else understands. Nobody else could understand. But the picture spoke to him, its smug aura mocked him. "YOUR MOVE MISTER MONKEY-MAN"
He slams the bounty on the floor.
"DAMN THAT SISSY! HE'S THE ONE THAT THREW VIVI OVERBOARD! I'LL KICK HIS ASS!"
>>
Now imagine how Luffy will react when he's about to go to Sky Island, gets his new bounty and it's STILL lower than Silvers

Anyway I'll try to put together a marine one as well today. The pastes will take a bit longer.
Don't know when I'll run next. Maybe I'll start a new thread Wednesday at 15:00 GMT. But I still hafta to some Christmas shopping next week, not to mention Cyberpunk (hopefully) coming out.

So I may not be as active starting next week
>>
>>4560597
Well isn't this a nice treat, guess I got rewarded for reading so late, huh?
Man I cannot wait to run into these guys again, it's bound to be fun, and just seeing our crews interact as well.
Also how strong would Murray be compared to Arlong?
>>
>>4560597
>silver's first act upon reaching the grand line was to attack and commandeer a military vessel
>oh look, extremely valuable maps
>silver doesn't have a navigator
>he managed sail by intentionally using a log pose that wasn't pointing where he needed to go
>he then proceeded to kick vice admiral ass and steal mountains of gold from the goddamn celestial dragons
>the only thing bigger than his piles of gold is his balls of steel
>also his name is super cool also too
>luffy is a weenie

i still 100% believe that silver isn't actually an idiot.
he's ignorant of the world and has no common sense or fear of death, but he's actually pretty smart.
if silver had an education he'd be terrifying.

remembering silver's crew teaching him how to read and do math kinda got me feelin' some feels, especially knowing his backstory
>>
>>4560601
By this point he's stronger. He started out as slightly weaker but even then he could've won 1 on 1
Arlong is actually a pretty big jobber and was only considered tough in the Blue seas despite sailing the Grand Line originally
>>
>>4560603
Marcella is technically a navigator, albeit a makeshift one

And yes, Silver about as much of an idiot as Luffy is. Meaning not really
>>
>>4560604
>>4560603
tfw silver, for as strong as he is, is kind of helpless in a way. he's honestly still like a child, and his crew takes care of him.
i can't wait to see him grow up
>>
>>4560605
Nah, luffy actually is an idiot... he can get serious at times, but he's not very smart or even clever. He usually just bruteforces everything.

Silver actually has the excuse that his parents died, he was literally raised by animals and then spent most of his childhood mindlessly doing slave labor.

But he does use his brain when he needs to.
He doesn't have a strong sense of danger and never feels like he's going to die so he does dumb stuff without thinking a lot, but it's not like he can't or wouldn't if he did feel like he was in danger.
He actually thinks up and pulls off 200IQ stuff, unlike luffy.

It's really tragic, i think he could have been a higher up in the marines or some kind of important figure somewhere if he'd just had a normal childhood, but he's like this now as a result of what happened to him.
>>
>>4560610
Luffy is not that different. Dad left him, Mom we know nothing about.
Grampa tossed him in the woods, off the cliffs and in the mouth of wild animals.
He was raised by Curly Dadan who's a mountain bandit and thus had no access to education either

But despite that he still does his moments. Yes, he often brute forces things but when he needs to Luffy can be smart. Mostly when it comes to fighting like with Croco, Enel or CP9
But he still has some nuggets of wisdom even if he's not intelligent.

"People die"
"I love heroes but I don't want to be one"
"Being alone hurts worse than pain"
Or when he tells Wapol "A flag is not something you can just shoot with a dumb grin on your face" and later shooting a flag without as much as smirking.

Truth is when Luffy gets serious he usually stops talking and lets his actions speak for himself. Like in Sabaody or in Water 7
So while he's definitely not intelligent, he can definitely show off the wisdom of a simple man
>>

Are we somehow gonna end up derailing the canon by complete proxy?
>>
>>4560725
To be fair your existence does that by itself
Still thanks to your decisions up until now the canon remains mostly safe as Luffy won't go out of his way for just anyone. So BIG derailments won't happen until Sabaody.
Even if you manage to preserve the continuity there once you leave Paradise it's all over

But if he does see you Luffy will come looking for a fight now

Meanwhile at Marineford.

"Let's get this straight."
Fleet Admiral Sengoku is not in a good mood.
"Some random pirate one day shows up. Makes mockery of the Navy on more than one occasion, steals our ships, steals a devil fruit on its way to be distributed, beats back a pursuing captain, this time steals a map from us. A map which just so happened to contain information regarding the movements of a Heavenly Tribute, sails across multiple routes, LIKELY without an Eternal Pose only to board the ship, disable one vice-admiral and nearly defeat another one back to back, stealing HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS in taxes and did this with only... five people? Is that right?"

The two seamen who drew the short straw and were forced to make the report in person swallow nervously.
"I-In our defense Fleet Admiral there were SIX of them including the captain. And they didn't beat us technically, they let us run. They pummeled us but not much!"

"I-IDIOT! Don't say that!"

"I understand. I thank both of you. You may return to your ships after your shoreleave is over. Dismissed."

"T-THANK YOU VERY MUCH!"
"T-THANK YOU VERY MUCH!"
The marines excuse themselves and run out the door as they can't believe they got away with this so easily. But the moment the door closes and they are out of earshot Sengoku snaps at the three very active den-den mushi on his desk.

"DAMN IIIIIIIIIIT! Care to EXPLAIN THIS?! All of you! What were you three idiots doing behind my BACK?! Especially you Tsuru! I thought you to be the sensible one! This is the kind of thing I was expecting from GARP! Not you or Hina! Speaking of which, why did you even have to involve her in all this? Now she's also accountable for what happened!"

"Calm down Sengoku. Tsuru was just doing what she felt right-"

"Enough Garp. I don't need your protection. I can explain myself just fine! Tell me Sengoku, even if I told you about a rookie with a measly 20 million bounty and convinced you that he's dangerous would the higher ups let you pursue him like that? The answer is no. Instead you'd continue to worry about it without being able to address the issue. You'll thank me later, at least this way your life was a bit less stressful. And now that the bandaid has been ripped off we can begin our work."

"Tsuru... the tribute!"

"Would've been stolen regardless. We'll manage. A few budget cuts will be necessary, I can give you a long list of potentially corrupt officers you could punish if you so wished."

"Ugh... fine! But don't be surprised if I take it out of YOUR paychecks as well! Now... can ANYONE enlighten me now? Please? What are the status of Onigumo and Lacroix?"

"Injured."
Tsuru responds.
"Onigumo hurt his pride and Lacroix has been admitted to the infirmary. He'll recover but members of the Giant Squad are already swearing vengeance. Hilda privately informed me that she'll personally stomp on the one responsible until he breaks."

"PFFFFT PRIVATELY!"

"Not now Garp..."

"So... one down for the count and one embarrassed. Even with a cheapshot that's almost unthinkable performance from a rookie. What do we know about him?"

Surprisingly it's Garps snail that speaks first.
"I 'unno. The name Silver, disregards rules and threat, boldly attacks anyone and anything in its path? Sound familiar? Any relations to a certain Mad Dog? Or am I just imagining things? A sibling? Or maybe that broad got knocked up and dropped her off somewhere?"

"No. That was my first instinct as well."
Tsuru responds.
"But my sources are foolproof. He couldn't be blood related to her. She did get beaten and disappear a few years ago and everyone thought she died before returning at the start of the Grand Line a bit later. Even if she bore a child this one is simply too old for that, the timelines don't match. Furthermore she has no extended family to speak of. Likely just a coincidence."

"But then which is more likely? That two people so similar in mindset bearing the same name appear like that or that they are simply distantly related, however unlikely that may be? Besides, he doesn't use the full name. He's just Silver, no first, last or middle name."

Sengoku scuffs.
"You should know better than anyone that people tend to hide a name like that... Garp."

"Come on Sengoku! Don't group me up with those guys! You know I don't like that."

Tsuru then gives Sengoku a detailed list of Captain Silvers exploits, including testimonies of various marines that engaged him. The scale of his destruction is showing an almost uncanny development rate. But that's not what bothers him most. It's something in the beginning.
"Tsuru. You said your devil fruit failed to work on him. How?"

"Since it happened only once before I can't say for sure. But given how even the strongest willed individual can't resist it, I'd say he not only believes completely that he has done nothing wrong but he may also not have a good grasp of morality, given his troubled development."

"So he's inherently warped... Damn it all. What is the point of prohibiting slavery if people keep doing things like this? It's unforgivable."
Sengoku then asks the thing that's been weighing on his mind for a while now, something which kept even Tsuru and Garp up at night even after many discussions.
"How is his willpower? And, are there any connections? Beyond the one through Tsuru?"

"Hard to say without it being awakened. But he's no ordinary man I can tell you. I'd say, he definitely deserves that bounty at the very least."

"I- Thank you all for your time. Hina, I'd like you to return to pursuing this man. You'll receive any reinforcements you request. Tsuru, keep me updated. Garp, secure Alabasta as soon as possible. Dismissed."

"Roger."
"Roger."
"Roger."

Tsuru put down her den den mushi with a weary sigh and left her private room. That did take a lot out of her mentally but sadly it couldn't have been done any other way. Too much red tape, too much bureaucracy. But knowing that Sengoku has it even worse is what makes it truly horrifying. She can't even imagine what he has to go through every day. At least now she can return to her duties and relax a little. However as she does she finds her aforementioned "reliable source". No doubt she was eavesdropping on her and her call.

"I could have you court martialed for that you know."

"It was about my brother wasn't it?"

"Listen Mary. The boy you called your brother, or whoever you thought he was doesn't exist anymore. Given what we know he may never have existed."

"Permission to speak vice-admiral?"

"Denied."

"That's bullshit and you know it!"

"Sigh. Listen girl. Your brother chose his path. There's nothing more we can do about it. And at this rate getting to the gallows will be the good outcome for him. But sooner or later he'll earn a place in Impel Down... Now I urge you, stop saying that he's your brother or that you have any sort of a connection to him."

"Why?"

"Because there are elements in the navy that thrive on people with pirate relatives. Either they'll use him to have you removed from active duty, stating that you are compromised. Or worse yet they'll use you to show how absolute justice can truly be. You'd be a posterboy to show the world how a marine will even betray their family to protect the world government."

"Vice-admiral. As long as it lets me get him back and fix him, I don't care."

"I knew you'd say that. Such a bone headed girl... Fine. I suspected this may not work out. So I'm having you reassigned."

"W-What?!"

"A friend of mine, vice-admiral Garp is currently teaching a small batch of trainees. A duo of boys if I'm not mistaken. It'd do you some good to join them. I'll have your papers ready this day. You'll get off this ship the next time we hit port. This is my final decision."

Welcome back lads. I know there was a lot of radio silence. Christmas shopping can suck my dick. I've been doing it for two days now and I'm still not done
