"A-Alarm! Sound the alarm! Alert every guard! Intruders broke into the Holy-"

The first guy who speaks up gets the faceplate of his helmet punched into his face as you pounce on him. Your friends don't need much more encouragement than that and begin swinging as well signaling the start of the raid. Though it's little more than a street brawl right now it is sure to escalate into something much bigger. The thunderous sound of metal striking metal rings around the square as Murray swings his mighty anchor around and knocks over entire swaths of soldiers. Another contingent find themselves incapable of moving as the segmented pieces of their armor get joined together and locked in place by magically sprouting fish hook. They then get to watch as their friends get stuck to walls and hung upside down by sticky threads of spider silk. And finally the last batch of guards charge the one isolated pirate only for her body to break down into tiny shards of glass and reform into a complete whole behind them. Before they could even turn around their iron armor mysteriously splits open and blood gushes out from the wound.

"H-How dare you resist?! Put down your weapons immediately and submit to the judgement of the gods!"

You end up dropkicking the guy and making him topple the few still standing guards like bowling pins.
"No. Well it looks like that's a wrap guys!"
Just as you finish that sentence you start hearing loud sirens echoing throughout not just the city but seemingly the entire Red Line itself.
"Aw poop. Looks like they alerted the others!"

"Then we better get moving! We're in the heart of enemy territory. Getting surrounded here would be bad."

"Yeah you're right Angel! Now let's see-"

It's abundantly clear that you'll need to act fast and get out of here fastly. But given how you surprised you are that you could make it this far you really didn't give what to do here much thought. Looking around it's clear from the opulence that this place is LOADED. Looting the place would yield the mother of all booties no doubt about that. But at the same time these lavish castles are in fact the biggest hives of scum in the world, destroying as much of it as you can would be doing everyone a favor. And you can't ignore the hole you punched in the ground earlier with the hundreds of slaves toiling down there to make the streets to ensure the Celestial Dragons don't even need to walk. You have no doubt in your mind that there are plenty more who have it way worse than that too...

Main Objective
>I'm looking at everything I despise. I don't want to!
Burn and Destroy. Killing the so-called gods takes priority over absolutely everything.

Secondary Objective
>We're freeing as many slaves as we can! Don't leave anyone behind!
Rally the slaves. Now is the time to fight for their freedom. Destroy the roads, give them the chance to escape, to pillage and burn and kill to their heart's content.

It's time for these gods to see hell.

Okay! Turns out it wasn't actually that bad.

If I remember correctly there's a whole industry about taking your ship up to Marie Geoise, selling it and buying a new one on the other side of the red line.

>>4908546
Not quite. You LEAVE your ship behind, get lifted to Marie Geoise and then get lowered on the other side where you buy a new ship.
That's all we know really

Wont have to save anyone if we kill all the Nobles. Barring that I'm sure there's enough slaves here whom have served on one kind of boat or another. All they really have to do is point their ships into a "Not Fucking Here Ever Again" heading and start rowing/sailing.

You look around the place after you wrecked it a bit and remember that there is one particular hole that you were quite interested in. After walking back to it you look down and see the emaciated, exhausted and thoroughly broken masses down there. Just thinking about the fact that there are hundreds of them down there alone and certainly many more are in the castles themselves is making your thinkjuice twist and turn with malicious intent.
"HEY!"
You shout but get no response.

"Forget it Silver. Who knows how long these sods been here. What human was in them the Dragons made sure to rip it out."

Hook is right. These people clearly had the flames of humanity snuffed out of them. Now they are but empty shells devoid of all feeling. They sense pain, exhaustion and discomfort but to them it barely even matters. The reality they live denies them even the hope of change so they just live like this. But you smirk as you know one thing that none of the others present do. When one is thrust into the abyss like that even a single spark of light can break the illusion and reignite the fire.

After they see you jump down into their hole the chained slaves all start to cower in fear as they expect their next beating. They are completely oblivious of your rampage upstairs.
"Hey! Why are you guys so gloomy? Wanna get out of this place? Get some fresh air?"

"G-Get out of here! Just get it over with! Don't torture us like that!"

"Hmmmmmm. You don't believe me? Then how about I do this?"
You recall what old Rayleigh did back on Sabaody. Though you don't have access to the same tools as he did you can improvise. Gently flicking the guy on the neck you set off his collar and it begins ticking ominously.

"EEEEEEEH!? H-hey! What are you doing?"

It's difficult to hear the mechanism inside his collar ticking and tocking down with all the screaming he's doing but luckily you are phenomenally talented at ignoring things which don't interest you. Once you're sure you got the timing right you reach forward and grip on the collar with the power of the Hasshoken. The metal shatters like glass at your touch and gives you easy access to the bomb within. With a quick swipe you toss the explosive in the air which breaks the roof, or rather the ground above your head even more. Light peers down on you as you stand above the prisoner who fell on his butt in shock.
"How about now?"

"W-Who are you?"

"I'm the one who wants to set fire to the place. Wanna help?"
>>
>>4908579
Oh lordy they come with party favors!

We help slaves and we get bombs in the bargain. Wins all around.
>>
>>4908579
>but luckily you are phenomenally talented at ignoring things which don't interest you.
kek
>>
Your gaze turns to the others and you do a quick little head count. The results are in: Way too many. It'd be easier if you had some sort of key to pass around but you doubt they even exist. After all what reason would the Celestial Dragons have to remove the collars of their slaves? So instead of looking for a key that might not even exist you have a brilliant idea. With a quick shift you switch into Zephonim and use the increased speed to dash through the great line of people and yoink their collars off one by one. The little cherry bombs manage to break more and more of the ground above and it forms neat little piles of dirt which will serve nicely as stairs. But for now the slaves seem dumbfounded by recent events and can't quite wrap their heads around your actions. Luckily you won't have to explain ANYTHING to them as Hagetaka looks down the hole you made.

"Captain?"

"I'm just making a few friends Angel! How are things up there?"

"We finished searching the guards and gathered up their explosives already. We thought you might want to make use of them."

"Aw shucks! You shouldn't have! Give one here!"
Hagetaka then hurls a bazooka down into the hole which you quickly grab and toss over to the first guy you freed.
"Here! Catch!"

He fumbles with the thing and drops it to the ground with his weak and bony hands. He tries to pick it up but it doesn't look like he can quite lift the hefty weapon.
"W-What is this?"

"What does it look like dummy? Cannons! How else do you want to get back at the World Nobles?"

"I-Is this real? It can't be!"

"Sigh. You still don't believe me?"
You snap your finger and all the gathered up weapons begin raining down into the hole for the slaves to equip. They can't even make a move at first but once they realize that this isn't a dream but reality they start to loose their inhibition and give way to joyful madness. Suddenly it doesn't matter that they are too weak to wield such weapons, they'll lift and fire them even if it's the last thing they'll do.
"So... Ready for some PAYBACK?!"

"YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!"

The hole begins to shake from their collective shout and they begin practically climbing over each other to get out of the hole first. Meanwhile you take flight in bat form and laugh as the black and white mass reaches the surface.
"Alright you louts! Enjoy your freedom! BUT FIRST! Bring everyone who's enslaved to us THEN torch the place! And remember! The most important thing is to have fun!"

The match is struck and a blazing star is born. These unshackled maniacs go out following the lead of the slaves you previously helped free on Sabaody since they still have their wits about. But as they begin their rampage Ann gives voice to her concerns.
"T-This is getting out of hand! What if someone gets hurt?"

But Murray is quick to remind her of something.
"That's the point sister. There are two kinds of people here. Those who deserve to get hurt and those who'd rather get hurt than live another day here."
>>
>>4908605
So we just one upped Fisher Tiger. Jinbe is gonna shit bricks when he finds out.

Jaws seems to be smiling uncontrollably, he's really enjoying the fact that you're here at the center of the world, wrecking it. And that rolling deathball you just created is doing a fine work of setting everything on fire around them. But since you know the guards of the place did send out a distress signal you'll have to take control of the mob and lead it towards some more promising targets as otherwise you won't achieve much more than vandalizing the place a little before you get inevitably thrown out.

"Alright! We got a little fire going! Now we just need to find some fuel to throw at it!"

"If you want a target you couldn't ask for a better one than Mary Geoise-"
Murray starts to explain things to you.
"We have two options. The Domain of the Gods and Pangea Castle. The Domain of the Gods is where all the Celestial Dragons and their slaves are."

"I thought this is that place..."

"No. This is just one of the many places that produce the inordinate amount of supplies and luxuries the Celestial Dragons demand. It simply can not be made all in one place. Now Pangea Castle on the other hand is where the World Governments heart is."

"I thought that's Marineford."

"No Marcy. Marineford is the HQ of the marines. This is the World Governments place. We hit that, we deal the kind of blow to the Government that nobody has since maybe the Pirate King himself. Everyone down to the Cipher Pols will feel that. On the other if we go for the Domain we might get some Celestial Dragons for ourselves."

"Shiiiet both of those sound damn good! What do you say Silver?"

While the Government allows the marines and the CD's to do as they please, it's the Dragons themselves that Silver directly hates.

You know the best part about all of this is gonna be hearing/seeing the Marines' reaction.

Silver kills 3 world nobles so they send an admiral who proceeds to kick the dog shit out of him to the point where he has to lose a limb just to escape.

In response to this the very, next, time, they hear about this little cunt he's gone and slaughtered even more world nobles out of spite.

And that's not even taking into account Goofy busting open Impel Down like a goddamn Kinder Egg.

"Yeah! Dragon hunting! This I like! Say where is that Domain thingy?"

"How should I know? You think I'm from around here? But I bet if we keep going in the direction of the big buildings we'll reach it sooner or later."

"Awesome!"
After putting your hand in your mouth you let out a sharp whistle.
"HEY! ANYONE KNOWS WHERE THE REALM OF GODS IS?"
Some of the former slaves nod stating they originally came from there before their masters grew bored of them.
"Good! Take us there!"

Your march is loud and plainly visible with buildings collapsing all around you. As your presence became undeniable the guardians of the place started to flock to you once they managed to arm themselves after the initial warning they received from their allies. You fully expected to suffer losses along the way as these forces were quite heavily armed and armored. They rained steel and explosions down on you with their extensive arsenal but there were two key factors which managed to swing things your way. For one these people while obviously well trained and well equipped fought like absolute amateurs, most likely because none of them ever actually expected they'd need to wage war. They were very capable duelists, excelling in single combat which shows they are actually bodyguards but they were lousy soldiers. The other factor which ensured your losses were minimal were your friends. Your various martial skills and devil fruit powers, especially Angels Logia were enough to fight back against and counter the enemy. As glass, fish-hooks and spider-webs filled the battlefield and brought you ever closer to victory your army became more zealous and started fighting ever harder. You see that they are eager to have their revenge for what has been done to them.

Naturally some lost spirit and along the way you did free some more slaves. These elements were instructed to follow your trail back where you came from, then follow the black markers Hagetaka placed around. They would await your return at the cliff when all of this was over. But for now you must focus on the gigantic gates before you which prevent your passage into the lofty realm of the gods.

"Aww. They don't know we're here. Boys! Please knock on the door!"

As one of the armed slaves behind you readies a cannon you overhear something quite juicy coming from the other side.
"Saint Joseph! Please you must understand! We need to take you somewhere sa-"

BANG
"Shaddup. Don't bother me on my walk."
You think that's just precious and wave your hand forward. The gigantic gate gets blown to bits which does surprise the dragon beyond but he sounds more like he's annoyed than anything.
"Huh? What's all that noise?"

A moment later he disperses into a cloud of red mist as you fire the first shot right through his chest. It is your right as captain after all. The men behind you have stopped as they simply can't fathom that this actually just happened.
"Alright! Now you guys try..."

He is either seeing our warpath, and getting his likely very few worthy to live away from the place, and in hiding. Or he's about to make a very bad tactical error in stepping in our indiscriminate line of sight. If he saw us actually kill a dragon, hopefully it is the former.
>>4908737
We don't even know the guy, and far as Silver is concerned anyone in fancy clothes that enters his field of view is getting cut down without thought.
>>4908740
Unless the slaves with him notice the guy first, and vouch for him, he likely isn't getting out of this alive if he isn't hiding. However. I put forth an idea. If we meet him, and he survives long enough for someone to vouch for him, we take him with us.
>>4908745
That sounds like a very plausible thing to occur. Kinda curious as to what she looks like without it. Speaking of, is best girl Sandersonia going to faint when she sees us and our slave army next time we meet?
>>
Oh yeah, does that mean that Sandersonia and Marigolds fruitsmade them huge? They usedtoo be Hancocks size before
>>
>>4908746
I would argue having a Dragon actually on the Redline would be more useful than dragging one along.

Plus they might disown him like Homing, and then the amount of decent Dragon's goes from one to zero.
>>
>>4908749
Probably? Who knows with how peoples bodies work here, but they might have got those features by having Zoan's at a young age, thus affecting their bodies more so as they grew up.
>>4908751
I suppose, then in that case I hope for his sake he stays the fuck outta sight and doesn't mistakenly pull a an hero moment.

There are less guards than you expected inside. Mostly because the ones holding their leash wouldn't want some dirty soldiers loitering around and souring the mood. That will change soon but until then it's easy pickings for everyone. You decide to take a step back and enjoy the view for a few moments while you collect yourselves and fly up to a tower overlooking the holy city. The crowd that you agitated is vicious. Though some of them may fall to the firearms the Dragons carry around it's precious little when faced with hundreds of blood thirsty men eager for revenge.

"Whew. And I thought I was bloody. Never thought I'd ever see someone getting torn apart like that."

"I know, it's great isn't it?"
You smile with Marcella and Murray while Hagetaka is staring at the scene without a care.

Ann unfortunately doesn't share your enthusiasm.
"This is horrible! I think I'm going to be sick. I know they deserve this but these men they, they are behaving like animals!"

"Starved, abused animals that were unshackled. Sorry sister but I don't think we have any right to complain, seeing as someone like that is our captain. Anyway shall we get in on the fun while we still can?"

"Oh YEAH!"

You spot a rather large castle which isn't currently being flooded with angry men and swing over to it. At the front entrance there is a Celestial Dragon angrily knocking on the door.
"Let me in at once! I am Saint Santiago and I demand entry!"

"Buh. I did not invite you to dinner Santiago. What are you doing here? Go away."

"OPEN THIS DAMN DOOR RIGHT NOW! I CAN'T GET TO MY ESTATE!"

"Why are you so worked up for buh? Just leave me alone, your voice is annoying."

"YOU STUPID IDIOT! WE NEED TO HIDE! D! D. HAS COME!"

"You and your stupid bedtime stories. I'm ending the call. Good riddance!"

As the conversation ends you decide to shank the poor little guy that was left out but let him live long enough to see you entering the estate. As he breathes his last you start cracking your knuckles and go to work. The castles these obese pigs call home are massive and house a great deal of obstacles for you to get through, meaning guards and slaves. But the guards go down like the rest and the slaves are easily swayed once they realize you are here to grant them the two things they want. So you carve a bloody path through the palace breaking every statue, tearing apart every painting and pound every idiot in your way until you cleared the whole thing. The only place left is the dining room where the lord of the castle is currently located. You decide to have a little fun and politely open the door.

"Excuse me."

"Hmmmmmm? Who are you? And what's with all that noise?! How am I supposed to enjoy my meal like that?! UNACCEPTABLE! Now bring me more wine! This mermaid caviar is inedible without my golden-wine! And how dare you not bow before me?! Bah! I'll have your head for that! Now fetch me my wine!"

"Okay."

"Oh yes Daddy! It's so fun when you punish someone! Can we quarter him?"
You barely even noticed the girl sitting at the same table as him, sitting on a slave as if she was a stool.

"Hmmmm. Yes my daughter. The horses could use a bit of exercise so they don't get lazy."

You walk over to the big wine shelves and pick the one you think is correct.
"This one?"

"Yes you imbecile. Now hurry up or I'll have you hanged first!"

After bringing over the bottle to the obese man you smack him over the head with it in one swift motion. The glass shatters and wine spills everywhere. The big greaseball is bleeding from the back of his head but aside that and some concussion he seems fine. Until you grab him by the head and ram him into the table and the plates in front of him. His daughter seems furious by this. "How dares filth like that touch us? He will pay!" You just know that these kind of thoughts are crossing her mind. Neither she nor her father have a grasp on emotions like fear. Well... her daddy is learning judging by his gargling. The girl however picks up the rifle by her side and aims it at your head. Until she gets tied up in a fine web of silk.

"Thanks Spider!"

"Anytime."

"Now then, you seem to be still breathing. Let's fix that!"
Grabbing him by the ankles you start dragging him and it kinda annoys you how he's clawing the ground to grab anything. Deciding what's enough is enough you swing him into the wall and start to pummel him with your fake arm until it feels like his skull stops offering any resistance. Once you had your fair share of fun with him you let the slob drop to the ground and turn your attention to the other dragon. Bet you can squeeze some more entertainment out of her. Ann was even nice enough to giftwrap her for you.

"Now then, what to do with you?"

"You'll pay for this you vermin! You dare raise your hand against your gods? Your creators?! You'll answer for this! You will all PAY!"

As you give her a smack with the back of your hand to shut her up Marcella struts up to you.
"Man I LOVE seeing stuck up bitches like that get what they deserve. But as much as I'd like to see you tear her to pieces I think we can make use of her."

"Do tell."

"I found this in one of the storage rooms we set on fire. Came with its own mini-mushy as well. It's pretty neat!"
Marcella shows you an unlocked bomb-collar.
"If you tamper with it, or leave the range of the mushi or if someone presses this button here BOOM! What do you say? Fitting no? And we could take her with us!"

"Ugh..."

"Not like that idiot! Imagine if we had a Dragon as a hostage! The navy couldn't do JACK to us!"

"Hmmmmm."
Tempting.

"Forget it Silver. Better just kill them outright. Imagine the kind of heat we'd get if we took one of them. Forget one Admiral. We'd get the entire fleet sent after us."

"HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM."

I don't think Silver would be down with slavery even if she is literal trash.

I honestly feel really damn bad for Sengoku, like holy shit, he started going grey with just Luffy, after hearing this, he may just say FUCK IT to the Navy in general and just quit entirely. He didn't ask for this shitshow about to drop in his lap.
>>
>>4909020
I imagine he'll just give even less of a fuck, just telling random people shit like the Gods Valley Incident, and other stuff that was supposed to be kept under wraps.

I know you meant Blackbeard, but I couldn't help but think of a certain mischievous kouhai AI.

Tbh I'm in the camp that the Gorosei are Admiral-tier, though Im's reveal might have changed my mind on that.

>>4910044
>>4910061
These are rad too, but I gotta stick to my guns here. Maybe not dragon slayer, that would be a tacit admission that their "gods" can be killed. Maybe "Dragonsbane"? I dunno.

Maybe I'm just a goofy fuck.
>>
>”The Devil” Silver
Probably dumb sounding but it kinda makes us an antithesis to the CD’s who are seen as gods

I remember making that joke in the previous thread. “Punished” Silver has a nice ring to it.
>>
>>4909977
>>4910081
If they do, and that's a big if, it's not going to be a positive name like that... One that makes us sound imposing or impressive, it'd be something like "Black" Silver or "Madman" Silver or Captain "Murders innocent children in broad daylight" Silver.
Or if the propaganda department is especially clever it'd be something like "Pedo" Silver or somesuch.

>>4909754
Ok, ok. I hear ya, I hear ya Spooky... Saving Eliza for an actual meetup is the right choice there, but damn you for it!

There is one more person whose reaction I'm kind of looking forwards too, because it might create some actual character... But I'm sure we'l run into him sooner rather then later either way.
Hody Jones.

>>4910150
>Hody
You're god damn right
But it'd becweird to do one on someone you havent met yet

Yea, it would be... Maybe to hype up a new antagonist, but yea. I agree.
Either way I got you thinking, so I'll call that a win.

Well we technically haven't met Doffy either, but its still fun.
>>
>>4910150
Kaido, Jinbe, and Crocodile have pretty cool epithets.

I have a feeling we probably won't get a new title, since they just never seem to give new titles to anyone. Like Shanks is just "Red Hair" despite being a Yonko. Same for Zoro with his "Pirate Hunter" title.

Although if we were to get one I'd be down for Punished Cavalier Silver or Cavalier Hell Bat Silver. I feel as if the Cavalier is going to stick even if we do get a new title, since we've referred to ourselves as that quite a few times now.

You look at the explosive spinning around Marcellas index finger and take it in order to take a closer look. Strange, it'd be very convenient and very funny in a way if you did slap it on her neck. Yet no matter how much you think and try to convince yourself about the issue it just does not feel like something you'd want to do, much less enjoy. So with one squeeze you crush the metal and as it falls to pieces you hurl the bomb part of it against the wall to blow a sizable hole into it. Upon seeing this the noble, perhaps from the explosion going off next to her head manages to gather the courage or stupidity to start speaking again.

"What did you just do to my estate? I'll-"
But she finds the words stuck in her throat quite literally as you switch from grasping the metal shards to grasping her throat instead. What this clown failed to notice is that while you have some reservations about enslaving people you have no such inhibitions when it comes to disposing of people. With a simple motion you extend your arm out the hole and let go. Finally in that moment her certainty in her place in the world crumbles as she plummets towards the ground. The only sound sweeter than her scream was the moment of silence that followed it.

"Huh. I thought dragons are supposed to be good fliers."

"A pity. We could've had fun breaking her on the ship."

"Nah. And besides she would've been too much trouble. Anyway did you guys set things on fire as I asked?"

"Yes. We should get out while we can before the flames engulf the entire building."

"I think we need to do a bit more than that..."

You speak up as you look out the hole for a moment. The others did not get what you mean at first for all they saw was the same field of white flowers that has been blinding them this whole time. But after noticing the peculiar movement of the field and the light reflecting off of it they realize that it is not a field they are looking at. It was an army of knights in polished armor with numbers so vast their formation left not an inch of exposed ground around them.
"Well... looks like we really kicked the hornets nest this time."

"Holy-"

"-Shit."

"Hmmmm."

"Oh boy! They sure look mad that we punched their gods in the face! I bet we couldn't kill half of these guys before they overwhelmed us! KEKEKE!"

The situation is dire but not hopeless. You still have plenty of ways to escape and cause some additional damage on your way out as a last middle finger to the government. The slaves that you freed might be weak but they are numerous and you're certain they'd not mind dying if it meant they could take as many of the holy servants of the gods with them as possible. Alternatively you could order them to fall back while you hold the marching army back to give them an escape route.

"Hey guys what do you say about headbutting the biggest army you've ever seen?!"
Your crew smiles and they begin jumping out the window to make their way over to the gates as fast as possible. Meanwhile you take flight and catch the slaves attention with a whistle in your hybrid form.
"ALRIGHT EVERYONE! Hope you had your share of fun because the party is over! Please follow the black rocks we left back there and wait for us at the end of the cliff! Thank you!"

The mob takes a while to get moving but after that they rapidly start leaving the streets. Naturally they don't shy away from starting a few more fires as they do so because clearly the nobility hasn't suffered a big enough blow yet. Leaving behind your vandalizing army you fly up to the wall which the others have scaled and overhear Hagetaka talking with Murray.
"Are there gates other than the one we blew open?"

"Most likely yes."

"Then it'd be best to make the first move and not let them encircle us."

"Agreed. If they get into the city we'll have a much harder time getting away."

You raise your hand.
"So what you're saying is we gotta scare them so hard they can't think straight!"

"Gyogyogyo! Yes, you could say that!"

A quick glance behind the protective walls reveals to you something which should be enough to get the attention of an army. The only real problem will be utilizing it. But you think you could handle it. In your hybrid form you grab Jaws by the shoulder and forcibly take him down while explaining your plan to him. He seems to like the idea. After landing you draw Argent from its scabbard and charge one of the towers of a Celestial Dragons castle. Using the Shimmering Silver you easily carve through the marble like butter and kick the imposing tower so it falls on top of Murray. He manages to catch the thing but he's having a hard time keeping it above his head.
"OOOF! LITTLE HELP?"

You run under the structure and help your first mate out with the lifting before you throw the thing with a mighty hurl over the city walls. For the briefest of moments the surprised screams of the guards could be heard before the tower landed and shook the ground.

The marching army stops in its tracks as about three dozen of its members were quite clearly squashed by a tower that someone threw at them. Needless to say they are a BIT confused by this and they keep getting more and more confused as the supposed army they are meant to reduce to nothing is nowhere to be seen. Instead all they get is a small handful of pirates that jumped down from the high walls and now stare them down. What they did not expect however that these five individuals would charge them with an honest to god smile on their faces. No matter what they unleashed be it guns, melee weapons, cannons or artillery it did not matter. The pirates kept laughing.

Murrays anchor whipped up a whirlwind which sucked up men and metal alike and with each swing he knocked down ten men. Ann using her carapace kept shrugging off lance blows and using both her poison and weapons immobilized droves of enemies. Anyone that got past these two found movement forward nigh on impossible as the ground beneath their feet turned into a blanket of fish hooks which they kept tripping on and inevitably falling face first into more hooks. Not even the air was safe for any of the more elite warriors who knew Geppo as glass kept raining down on them and a monster bat beat anyone who managed to avoid all of that back down. For every scratch and grazing blow they managed to land the protectors of the most holy nation lost at least twenty men.

And under normal circumstances that would've been fine. The guards knew very well that they had the advantage, if they just kept going and pushing forward sooner or later the enemy would tire out. But such tactics really aren't viable when the enemy one faces is so terrifying that they simply can not move from fear.
"T-They are monsters!"

"We're all gonna die!"
Panic overtook reason and it quickly spread among the ranks.

"Keep going you dogs! Those who oppose the gods must be punished!"
One of the frontline commanders threatened his men to no avail. It appears that they'd need to resort to drastic measures if they want to win. However-

"Tell your men to pull back general."

"WHO SAID THA- Oh."

"I'll handle this."

The fighting suddenly stopped as the army ceased marching. With no more enemies to beat up you also stopped but something was wrong.
"H-Hey. Is anyone else pissing their pants right now or is it just me?"

"No Marcy. Something is coming."

A single, very tall man steps out of the crowd with a cane in his hand and a presence that can not be denied. You fall silent as you stare at him, realizing that he alone poses a far greater threat than this collection of meatbags ever could.
"My apologies. But this fight stops now."
Your left arm shudders as you look at this man. He's strong. No. He's a monster.

"Listen here everyone-"

>Return to the ship. I'll handle this

Eh, great minds think alike and all that.
But yea, I think its important to mention that I don't know if just trying to legg it will do anything other then legging this guy pick people off one of one.
Staying together and everyone trying to hold him off while pulling back ought to be a fair bit safer... If possibly a little slower.

We got demolished by one admiral already. I don’t think we’ll fair any better against someone on the same level.

Sometimes bravery is stupidity indeed. So let's run away
Now... since you just incapacitated roughly about a few hundred soldiers, not to mention the destruction you wrought within the Holy City Issho is quite pissed and will chase you to the ends of the earth

Oh I know we still woulda been fucked. I'm just surprised that you all thought we'd have a chance to run.

It's like when we dealt with Kizaru except even worse because this one takes his job seriously.

Still we'll probably get out alive. Might lose a leg this time though.

Honestly, considering Marcella's little speech about crew dying and keeping the momentum going anyway... Well, red flags do exist for a reason and I'm more then a little worried.

Wait, this is 2 years before, shouldn't Issho be at best Vice Admiral Level?

Also, wtf? This is way before he was recruited
>>
So how many CD did we kill in total?
>>
>>4911105
We can personally amount to 3 but our army was running wild and those fuckers have the survival instincts of a fried trout on a 3 week bender. We can probably comfortably say low to mid double digits.
>>
>>4911102
>Vice Admiral Level
Not necessarily. He's fairly old
>This is way before he was recruited
How observant of you!

>>4911102

I don't see why it would be the case just because it is two years before.
>>
>>4911102
>>4911112
>>4911116
My only hope was that he didn't have the DF power yet but wasn't willing to bet on that horse. Could it be?
>>
Why does Issho even give a shit about CD?
>>
>>4911102
man's a monster. He joins the marines 2 years later and is immediately made an admiral.
>>
>>4911112
>How observant of you!
Plot hole or butterfly effect ?
>>
If we get the chance, should we kill him?
>>
>>4911120
He more than likely doesn't because they're a bunch of slaving cunts. Unfortunately they are slaving cunts he is legally obligated to protect, and even disregarding them there are also the civilians caught in our completely justified rampage.

Oh they are definitely few and far between considering the amount of slaves but they do exist.
>>
>>4911126
Neither. But the latter is kinda right.

"RUN AWAY!"

The order comes out of your mouth practically on its own and it's pretty much the thing everyone wanted to hear as before you even finish the word they are already turned around. It would be simply foolish to challenge something like this, especially if your gut instincts are right and this guy is on par with an admiral. What you did not realize however was just how massive that gap between you actually is.

"I won't let you get away."

You look over your shoulder and see him drawing a blade out of his can and he slices the air with it. His cutting attack is unlike yours as it doesn't produce a visible current of air and it simply passes through you without dealing any damage. And at that point you realize that his intention was not to harm you. Every single one of your crewmembers fall to the floor as if pressed down by something and you do the same. Something made your entire body weigh several times more to the point that you can not even budge. Even Angel is incapable of movement as the moment her body breaks apart into glass shards they too get pressed into the ground. To top it all off it seems like you all of you experience this weight change the same way even though there is a great difference between your physical abilities. Meaning he can adjust the effect to suit each of you.

"W-What... is this?"
Marcella looks at Murray expecting answers.

"I-It's like I'm at the bottom of the ocean! But this is way worse!"

"It's the power of gravity."
The terrifying man speaks up as he sheathes his blade and starts walking up to you.
"All this destruction... I can feel ash in the air, hear the last breath of so many people. So much destruction, such malice. All done by a child. I struggle to accept it yet the evidence is plain to see, even for me. Were the circumstances be any different I'd try my best to let you off easy. But you sealed your fate. I can not allow such evil to exist. Sigh. When the Government hired my services I did not expect I'd have to murder a child."

"W-Who is this man?!"
Angel looks up at the person who's now quite close to you.

"My name is Issho and I'm a mercenary. Now you may rest in peace knowing your killers name. Please don't hold it against me. Goodbye."

Issho prepares to draw his blade fully. You know you must stop him at all cost but try as you might you simply can not budge under the crushing influence of what must be his devil fruit ability. So with little else to do you laugh with a wide smile and try to turn your head to look at the others.
"Kek. Sorry everyone. Guess I lost!"
>>
Lemme guess, Eliza or someone is going too show up too save the day?

Alternatively, Issho gets called back due too the Whitebeard War and decides too spare us
>>
>>4911164
Or we just bite it.
>>
>>4911164
You don't understand. He's not a marine. At all. Who's going to recall him?

And that's it
Thank you all for playing!

Clouds gather above as the hired sword swings his great blade and your friends shout after you with all their strength.
"SILVER!"
"SILVER!"
"CAPTAIN!"
"IDIOT!"

You hear the steel singing as the man swings down with it. Well it was a good run while it lasted. The only regret you have is that your friends are not going to get away from this one either. It sucks but that's just the way it is. There is nothing you can do about it so you just accept it. But as you resign yourself to your fate you start getting goosebumps on your skin and you're not the only one.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMXWm94ClJU

A swift wind passes over you and you hear the ringing of steel clashing against steel. The cut of the swordsman is redirected into the air where it parts the sea of clouds above with a thunderous boom. Your would be assailant jumps back and his concentration breaks, freeing you from his hold. He raises his sword in a guard stance and speaks up.
"Who are you? You're not with these pirates."

"Who, me? I'm just a little girl who was on her way to the biggest party in recent times. Then I saw the fireworks up here and I just KNEW I couldn't miss it! And looks like I came just in time."

The others manage to shake off Isshos influence and look up confused.
"Who is this beast?!"

As the others try to figure out who this mysterious person is you can't help but feel tears swelling in your eyes.
"E-Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-"

"Hey kid!"
Eliza smiles.
"Heh, what's the long face for? Aren't you glad to see me again? Pft. Typical! Anyway get yourself together. You'll get what you want later. I'll just handle this one first!"
She smashes her fists together and begins walking towards Issho with a stride.

>Other?

You feel several pairs of hands grabbing hold of you and hear the voice of Murray.
"Come on Silver we got to go! It's not safe here!"

"NO! I DON'T WANT TO!"
You actually elbow him in the face and use every bit of strength you have to get out of their hold.
"I'LL STAY!"

"You idiot! We're dead if we don't skedaddle RIGHT NOW!"

But it appears that Eliza heard that and she chuckles.
"Sniff. Silver huh? Did you really steal my name like that?"

"WHAT?!"
"WHAT?!"
"WHAT?!"
"WHAT?!"

"W-Well I-"

"Heh. It's okay. But if you're gonna lug that around you gotta learn the secret family recipe. Now pay attention because I'll only show you once. Hey you, fishman. Let him go. That old fart over there knows if he ignores me I'll chew through all those meatbags behind him. So sit down and enjoy the show!"
She then starts winding her arm and a loud crackling sound can be heard coming from it.
"The big boys are about to play!"

"If you think I'll let you get away with this you're sorely mistaken! Though I may be blind even I can see that these pirates can not be allowed to live! Gravito-"
Issho pulls his sword behind his back in a reverse grip and it feels like the entire Red Line is shaking because of him.

"Sorry old fart. I don't care. And maybe you should stop using the color of observation if you want to garner some pity points. Now... Mad-Dog Style-"
Eliza pulls her left arm back and just holds it there, waiting for the deadly swordsman to unleash his attack.

"RAGING TIGER!"

"SILVER VOICE!"

The old guy is the first to make a move and Eliza only reacts to it at the last moment, her fist hitting the invisible attack the moment it was fully thrown out. A line appears on the ground inches away from her fist and it continues to spread in both directions, destroying any and all that gets in its way. It's nigh on impossible for you to remain steady as the mountain itself is struggling to keep itself together as these two monsters engage each other. But the shockwave dissipates and both of them take a moment to look at the other before they take off in a mad dash.

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

Leaning forward until her torso is practically in parallel with the ground the lady-pirate moves forward with her hands pointing forward, like a beast ready to pounce on its prey. Meanwhile the swordsman grits his teeth and swings his weapon around without hesitation or reservation. They exchange several blows during which sparks fly out from where they block each others attacks. A few times it feels like Issho is getting the upper hand like when he's about to gut Eliza but the sword simply bounces off her abs. Realizing he can't just deal with this issue in one blow the mercenary then switches to swinging his sword around seemingly randomly, causing the debris around him to start floating. But his impromptu projectiles only serve to give her platforms which she can jump between, making her wild attacks even more erratic.
>>
>>4911350
>but the sword simply bounces off her abs.
H-hot
>>
>>4911355
I am MOIST.
>>
The man is clearly very skilled and manages to block most of the incoming violence but judging from how much his sword is being swatted around it's probably safe to assume he's having a hard time. In his desperation he does a quick iai cut which produces these strange rings of purple energy. Looking up at the sky where they went you soon start to see a second sun appearing. Or more accurately a meteor falling out of the sky. Even Eliza needs to pause to look at this.
"Heh. Shit... What rock your crawled out from and what did they feed you?"

"Go ahead. Make your move! But I got more where that came from."

"Is that so? Well then. Mad-Dog Style: Silver Fang!"
Jumping as if she was fired out of a cannon Eliza flew up to the gigantic rock and hit it with a great, arcing kick. The blazing meteor blew up into innumerable pieces, showering the entire battlefield. Issho was thus forced to use his devil fruit to stop these pebbles from killing most of the men and women standing behind him. Seeing this Eliza made her way down to the rookie pirates.
"Okay this guy is actually nutty and I wanna fight him properly later. So we have to leave!"
She then grabbed each of you one by one and hurled you in the direction of the cliff. But she left you for last.

"B-BUH I GOT THIS COOL TATTOO! AND MY ARM! AND EYE! A-AND I GOT FRIENDS NOW-"

"Hey. Hey! You can tell me everything when we're safe, okay? Now go!"

You then get hurled away and start flying much faster than you ever managed on your own. Within moments you violently crash land near the part of the cliff that got designated as your drop-off point. The others don't waste any time asking questions from you though.
"Was that who I think it was?! SILVER? Answer us!"

"Erm Mister Murray I think we have other things to worry about. Like getting off the mountain? Are we ready Miss Hagetaka?"

"Ready as always."

Using her logia powers Angel creates a great glass cage big enough to house all of the freed slaves that managed to get out and you. Meanwhile Spider is busy spinning a big enough web which she could turn into a bag. And finally you will do as you planned and provide the amount of heat necessary for the hot air balloon to take off. Granted this is way more people than you accounted for but it'll work. It has to. With everything in place you push the contraption off the cliff and escape Mary Geoise.

Okay for real this time, I am done for the day.
This 40+ heat is making me want to an hero so bad. Can barely think straight
Anyways! Congratulations on successfully raiding one of the most important places in the world and escaping relatively unharmed!

They are a CP that answers directly to the Celestial Dragons or the WG leaders, to the point that they act as their bodyguards.
They also operate within the New World, the Underworld and deal with the Yonko

That doesn't really say much when someone like Spandom runs CP9. It is basically the secret service, but this is still the Government that runs on nepotism.

That's the funny part. He doesn't.
Spandam actually works for Lucci now

>After the timeskip, Spandam is shown to be a member of CP-0 along with his former subordinates, Rob Lucci and Kaku, although their roles are now reversed as Lucci is Spandam's superior. While Lucci seems to have given up on taking revenge on Spandam, he does find Spandam annoying. It is currently unknown exactly how Spandam joined CP-0 and how he became Rob Lucci's subordinate within the organization.
>>
>>4913647
I don't think he's the leader, just one of the members. After all we only saw him dealing with matters with Doflamingo, not the Yonko like Stussy or the members at Onigashima.

"You IDIOTS!"
Two kids were nursing their set of lumps. They received one during the skirmish and one now as their mentor hit them on the head for their foolishness.
"I told you to stay in the back-lines!"

"P-Please don't hit us vice-admiral! They just let us out of the infirmary!"

"That's the reason why I'm punishing you! Do you two morons have any idea what you just did?! If it were anyone other than my grandson both of you would be DEAD by now!"

"Garp-"
Tsuru raised her voice.
"Enough. Nobody needs this right now. Least of all those two."

Indeed the war which would later dubbed The Paramount War had quite a profound effect on the soldiers of the government, especially the fresher recruits who did not have the experience necessary to deal with it. Many have come face to face with the harshness of reality, some more than others. People lost their lives, suffered permanent injuries and the horrors of war brought about a most unpleasant awakening for many as the mental strain unlocked their haki and made them aware of the suffering of the many, many people around them friend and foe alike. These two were among those most unfortunate.

Aside Garp, Tsuru, Coby and Mary the fleet admiral himself as well as the former CP9 agent Rob Lucci are also pleasant in the room. Lucci himself has made quite a lot of progress in his recovery thanks to his knowledge of Life Release but he still requires the aid of a crutch to comfortably walk around.
"For once we are in agreement "Hero". Your Rokushiki is still far too weak. Especially since Strawhat himself made staggering progress since Enies Lobby."

"Nobody asked Limpy! And I suggest you shut up unless you want me to replace my dog hat with a cat one!"

"ENOUGH! Both of you!"
Sengoku slammed his fist on the table.
"How could this happen? This war was a travesty. It was meant to be the final nail in the coffin of piracy! DAMN that Newgate! All those lives were sacrificed for NOTHING! That blood was meant to serve a purpose! To quench the flames of this blasted pirate era! Now it will be fuel!"

"Don't blame yourself Sengoku."
Tsuru spoke calmly.
"Even if we made every correct move there was simply no accounting for the factors outside our control. If we simply executed Portgas D. Ace then maybe Whitebeard would've been sensible and retreated with his objective gone. But with Sakazuki antagonizing him every step along the way and with the arrival of Teach this was simply inevitable. We pushed him to the brink and he had nothing to loose anymore. It makes sense he'd do the same thing Roger did to spite us."

"Sigh. This was supposed to be the end. I simply can't do this anymore-"

"What are you saying?"

"Sengoku?"

But as Sengoku was lamenting his imminent retirement a soldier burst in through the front door.
"I have an urgent report for the fleet admiral!"

"Of all the- Proceed..."

"We found more of our missing troops that Whitebeard buried! Approximately 50 men and women, they are alive and currently on their way for treatment!"

"Finally some good news-"

At that exact moment a second recruit sprints in, pale as snow and out of breath. The man looks like he's about to double over any second.
"U-U-U-Urgent call for F-Fleet Admiral Sengoku!"

As the soldier lifts the receiver of the snail the den den mushi turns on and begins transmitting a VERY angry voice.
"SENGOKU! What the ACTUAL FUCK is going on?!"

"Kong? You received the verbal reports didn't you? The manuscripts are all on their way. I'm going to take responsibility for this blunder-"

"SENGOKU! Do you have ANY idea what is going on?! I am getting cooked up here! WHAT DID YOU GUYS DO?!"

"The elders are... angry?"

"GARP! YOU'RE THERE TOO?! CARE TO ELABORATE?!"

"You're not making any sense Kong. Why are the Celestial Dragons concerned with the outcome of the war and why are they showing interest just now? Maybe if the government sent us all the resources we requisitioned we wouldn't be in this mess in the first place."

"You guys REALLY don't know what is going on?!"

"We were just at war Kong..."

"We ARE at war! 23! 23 of the FUCKING TENRYUBITO ARE DEAD!"
The blood in everyones vein freezes at once.
"FIVE houses! ONE OF THEM COMPLETELY WIPED OUT! Some noname pirate scaled the freaking Red Line while you were busy playing pattycake with Newgate and instigated a slave revolt!"

"I-Indentured human resources Commander."
Sengoku, busy peeing his pants right now can't help but refer to his superior by his official title.

"SLAVES SENGOKU! SLAVES! I don't care whose FEELINGS I hurt by saying it how it is! And after they were released from slavery they merrily banded together to rip their masters apart with their bare hands! NOW! I'm going to ask one more time, what the fuck did you do! Because we looked over the bounties and only managed to identify ONE! And I hope you're about to tell me some Paradise-nobody was that kind of a threat and you did NOTHING to stop it or I SWEAR-"

"Kong... Who was the one you managed to identify?"

"The Mad Dog, Eliza D. Silver. She had five accomplices in total, a fishman, three women and some child with an eyepatch and a prosthetic arm."

Reactions were mixed but everyone was hit like a truck by this news. Most simply petrified but Garp was getting furious to the point the veins on his fists were bulging outwards, making his protégées nervous. But it was not for the reasons one might think. He was conflicted. On one hand he felt overwhelming hatred for the little monster that did such a thing and on the other he was disgusted by the fact that on some level he was GLAD. But Rob Lucci... Rob Lucci just had the biggest grin on his face that just screamed "I told you so".

"That man-"
Sengoku spoke with a shaky voice.
"That man was "Cavaliere" Silver. The same man who murdered the three Celestial Dragons on the Sabaody Archipelago. He is indeed a Paradise Super Rookie with a bounty of 300.000.000. And despite our best efforts we did not manage to halt his progress."

"Wait wait wait. The same pirate that Kizaru dispatched?! Are you telling me that you took one eye and one arm from him and his first reaction was to make a complete recovery in a few days and hit us back ten times as hard? What did you DO?"

"We made a terrible mistake."

I do wonder how they're going to deal with us in the future, because anything less then "dead" seems to backfire *horribly*.
Also I have to say that the fact the we keep proving Lucci right is just so good... Cause I bet he's been pushing and lobbying for our head ever since he got our of the hospital.

To be fair to them they have been angling for "dead" ever since we pulled that shit at Eins Lobby. It's just the fact that Silver's harder to kill than a damn cockroach, will NOT let you contain him even if he has to lose a limb to escape, and it more than willing to bite the cost if it means he can bite your ass off once he's recovered means that they're not fighting a pirate captain so much as a rabid Coyote with opposable thumbs and an inbuilt need to spite God.

I mean for fucks sake they sent a goddamn Admrial at him and all he did was pick up the pieces, spit out his teeth, replace them with fangs and attack literally the one place NO ONE IN THEIR RIGHT MIND EVEN THINKS OF GOING TO.

Good things come to those who wait. Besides the fact that we even killed 23, destroyed a bloodline, AND GOT AWAY WITH IT (even if only in the short term as the marines may hope) that's already done a fuckton more damage to the one thing that actually matters to them, their credibility.

Fisher Tiger at least had the benefit of being a Slave that revolted, he was brought their by their hands and their will, and even then he was more focused on freeing other slaves and getting them out than doing damage. Rocks was there for the lore drops, was a monster with a possibly even more monstrous crew, and he didn't give a damn who he killed so they could play that off too.

Silver though? He came there with the express desire to kill World Nobles, and not only that he or those specifically under his orders succeeded in killing 23, 23 people who should be "gods", untouchable, unkillable by any means.

A nobody pirate from no fated bloodline, a mongrel cur born from the scum of the earth, someone who's blood is as common as muck, someone who hasn't even crossed over to the new world, someone coming straight from one of the FUCKING BLUE SEAS killed 23 gods.

If he could do it, why the hell should anyone bow to them? If he could do it why the fuck should anyone fear their wrath? If he could do it, what's stopping you?

>>
>>4914565
Yea I agree that this is going to have a pretty big impact, and that 23 is already a good number. I wasn't trying to downplay our actions, because man even us just killing the three down in the auction house would've been enough for us to be at the top of the shitter list.

>>4914540
I can't really think of any time in the near future where basically all the marines gather in one place and are super distracted, so we probably won't be taking another crack at it until we are way stronger.
>>
>>4914571
Oh that sounds fun, we can play lawn darts with the Dragons and aim for darker magma patches.
>>
>>4914575
We need to fake our deaths, that way when we come back. They will still only be as prepared as they are now to stop us. And it will be glorious.
>>
>>4914575
That and I don't see a reason to head back to the Redline any time soon, so we probably won't be there till we sail the New World.
>>
>>4914431
Oh yea, don't get me wrong: They haven't exactly been kind to us, but at this point I'm halfway expecting a "Do not engage" order to go out while they prepare something to properly, inescapably, kill us off for good. The other side of that coin is just a mad manhunt to not let us rest for five minutes, hell I wouldn't be surprised if they put two and two together and the Dragons send a (merc) hitsquad/army down to Fishman island because where else would we go? (And I bet they've been just waiting for an excuse to go there and accidentally grab some mermaids/fishmen while there)

>>4914565
This guy gets it, the killing is incidental at most... It's the illusion that's been shattered which matters. Not that Silver cares about that... But I bet we made the Revolutionary army's job a whole lot easier.

>>4914497
There's not gonna be a round 2. Possibly ever. The Marineford war and general hubris gaves us a once in a lifetime opportunity and we still would'a died if not for Eliza picking up on what we were doing.
They will happily leave the rest of the world to pirates and revolution if it means Mariegeoise is *never* touched again.

Dressroas, a very peculiar kingdom within the New World ruled over by a great king who just so happens to be a pirate. Not just any pirate but one of the Royal Shichibukai, Donquixote Doflamingo.
"Aaaaah! It's good to be back!"

"Welcome young master!"
"Behehe! Welcome back Doffy! Did you have fun?"

"Oh most certainly! Fufuffufufu! Even though it put quite a dent in my plans."

"Beeeeh? How come?"

"That damn old coot Whitebeard! He refused to go down quietly! What a magnificent little announcement he made! I was betting that with his death the new era would come."
Doflamingo then sat back in his big couch and started slouching.
"But this is fine! A new transitional period with even MORE pirates! A Golden Age of Piracy if you will! Watching it will surely be interesting! Fufufufufu!"

"Eeeeh? Is that so? Should we slow down with production then?"

"No need. The Beast will still deliver us to a new age. The ride is simply going to be more interesting than expected!"

"Here's todays newspaper young master."

"Ah thank you Sugar! It's good to relax and catch up with the news after a hard days work."

"Your tea young master."

"Thank you Baby 5..."
But as Doflamingo took the cup from his crewmember he promptly let it slip from his finger as he started reading the papers. The ceramic shatters on the ground, spilling the liquid everywhere.

"DOFFY! What's wrong?"

Doflamingo began laughing. He laughed and laughed ever harder until he couldn't help but lean back on his chair and hold his face. The paper fell to the ground and soaked up the tea but the headline was still visible for all his crewmembers to see.

"S-Silver?"

"Wait you know him Trebol?"
Diamante asked.

"Well sorta. I think that's the brat that disrupted our lead supplies that one time! We missed the deadline on one of our shipments because of him."

But Doffy did not register their shock. He was too busy experiencing a great myriad of emotions. Images of his childhood flashed before his eyes as he imagined the scene. But while normally he'd only see these in his nightmares and wake up in a cold sweat from them now he enjoyed it. Because now it was the Celestial Dragons who got to experience the nightmare he went through. Just imagining their expressions, what they felt during their first bouts of fear made Doflamingo EXTATIC.

He kept laughing like a maniac until his sides started to hurt. But after a while he managed to regain his composure enough to give orders to his subordinates.
"FUFUFUFUFUFU! I'm sorry my friends but I must ask you to leave now! We'll continue this conversation later! Not you Viola. You stay! I haven't felt this alive since the execution of Gold Roger! I wonder... what kind of a little monster is he?"

Also while I'm thinking about it, they just went out and said it, just let loose that some no name Pirate got the drop on the entire government's security measures, fucked the gods' anuses raw, came on their backs, and didn't even bother to throw them a dirty rag to wipe?

Who the fuck authorized that? Because I know for a fact that, unless Morgan's crazy ass has taken a liking to us, the World Government would NOT let news like this go out.

Well unless the CD's went over everyone's heads and are doing this to offer some kind of reward?

Like they expect there's some amount of money they could offer that'd make coming after someone as crazy as "Fuck this mountain, fuck these gods, and fuck anyone who had the gall to piss me off" Silver without enough iron and steel to make the Spirit of America erect with jealousy.
>>
>>4916029
I bet the CD's told one of Morgan's people, probably because they were complaining that the government doesn't do shit for them, and bad mouthing the Dragon's that did die.
>>
>>4916029
Big News Morgans would definitely publish this story with or without the governments approval. If it’s BIG NEWS he will make sure everyone knows about it.
>>
>>4916016
Filled to the brim by every man and woman in town?
>>
>>4916029
You don't understand Morgan, BIG NEWS is his safe word, and since no one can reliably catch his feathery ass, he's gonna publish it. Now how fast with the World Government spam out contradicting reports, downplaying events, outright lying, ect, that is the real question,
>>
>>4916029
>Who authorized this
Nobody. Morgans being one of the emperors of the underworld (probably as an information broker) is no stranger to taking bribes to alter a few things. This is the primary reason why good pirates like Luffy and actually dangerous ones like you don't get credit and instead get labeled with non-descript common crimes.
But once things get BIG Morgans won't hesitate to spit in the WG and a Yonkos face because being the one who brings these major events to the surface get his rocks off
>>
>>4916208
There is NO downplaying this friend. Like how others pointed it out before, very accurately, the main thing about the nobles (and pretty much every big player, yonko included) is that it's not just about being powerful. It's about projecting an image of power. Once the mere thought that the CD can be opposed enters the public it won't leave. There is now a nick in their armor and every psycho or disgruntled citizen will at least consider fucking with them.
Sure, the chances of them succeeding are microscopic. Butthere are a lot more people than dragons. So what if the first ten thousand people die if for that number they take one dragon with them?
>>
If nothing else, the Revolutionaries have to be feeling really conflicted about us right now.
>>
>>4916237
Probably feel like Rosie did after we smacked her ass. Fear, shame, and a confusing erection.
>>
>>4916237
I can even see this as a pretty hot topic among the Revolutionaries. They've been at this war for a while, and here we are straight up killing the people who are responsible for tons of the problems they have with the World Government.
I wouldn't be surprised if some of the more trigger happy/jaded people want to start doing more direct warfare, annoyed with how slow the approach of slowly turning islands over one by one is.

I could easily see this as causing a divide, potentially leading into a new faction of revolutionaries, with a far more direct approach.
>>
>>4916259
I, for one, can't wait to see the Neo Revolutionary Marines in action.
>>
>>4916259
I imagine there won't be many people nuts enough to want to scale the Red Line any time soon.
>>
>>4916297
To be fair the CD's have fucked over a LOT of people. If it wasn't for the Marines quite literally covering their asses (and their blackmail on the WG's forcing such an arrangement to exist) someone would have probably tried before Silver did.

As it stands? If someone is willing, mad enough, or just ballsy enough to think that their deaths would be worth the blood of a CD staining the earth? They might be willing to give it another go.

After all anon you have to remember, gods don't bleed, and if something bleeds it can die. What is a CD but a man now, and if one of them ever comes down from their gilded tower again without a literal army of marines covering their ass with enough led to level a city there's a very real chance they'll never get back up there.

They've spent generations fucking with people for their own amusement, and now everyone knows you can fuck with them right back.

There's a reason Doffy was laughing his ass off. He's known this lesson for almost 30 years and now the last fucking horse has finally crossed the finish line.
>>
>>4916308
As with every revolution, after a while all it takes is a spark.

Well in this case it's more like a fucking wildfire but hey details amirite?
>>
>>4916308
I mean... You are right, but you're also not.
I don't think much is going to change with the Dragons... They still have the threat of an Admiral looming over everyone and that's what kept people in check before... They will still have that. They will probably demand a whole lot more then that.

And there's the kicker! Consolidation means weakening themselves everywhere else, while they try to build up the forces necessary to be everywhere again, I don't think we will see more Tenryobito's biting the dust but I can certainly see the life of pirates and revolutionary's becoming a whole lot more comfortable with a fair few less marines around to be annoying.

I can also imagine the mercenary (pirate hunter) business flourishing as a result of that and the damn near endless coffers of the Dragons and their... Newfound interest in that particular form of gladiatorial combat (Seriously, imagine it: them forming up slave warbands/mercenaries/bought pirates or marines and turning it essentially into a league about whose team can do the best, kill the highest bounty etc etc. Cause I can imagine them doing that, easily. )

The contraption you hastily assembled is working flawlessly. It is astounding how easy it is to abuse physics like that. Hot air lighter than cold air? Put it in a bag and it lets you fly or fall slower in your case. Sometimes your (or your crews) genius astounds even you. Unfortunately the hot air balloon trick has a pretty big downside. Producing the heat for it to work is hard as balls.

"PANT! PANT!"

"Just a bit more Silver! Keep it up!"

"PANT! I'M HUNGRY!"

"Just hold on! I can already see the Dauntless below! And another ship. Must be the vessel of our savior."

"Erm Mister Murray? I don't mean to be that woman but I don't think we'll be able to land on the ship with this thing, let alone carry all these people!"

"Leave that to me-"
Hagetaka slams her palm down on the glass basket and the obsidian making it up begins expanding. The extra material changes shape until it looks like a big rowboat.
"There. It's not pretty but it should keep us afloat."

"FFFFFFFFFFF-!"
Sadly all that extra weight pushes you over the tipping point where you can no longer support the balloon with your heat so you start to loose altitude quickly. You land violently on the water, making many of the people with you scream.
"Ahm tihed!"

"Alright step back idiots! Deploying emergency milk."
Marcella takes a can of condensed milk and shoves the whole thing down your gullet alongside a ration pill. Even those two combined are just barely enough to make you stand back up.
"Good job dumbass. We almost managed to land."

Just barely managing to stand up you look around the freed slaves as your makeshift boat is bobbing quite a bit. With the conflict over and their successful escape they are in quite a delirious state. They still have a hard time believing what they experience is reality. You decide to give them a bit of time to collect themselves and instead look at the two ships anchored close to each other. The ship which you presume to be Elizas is a fair bit bigger than your own but smaller than a navy battleship and lacks any of the unique flare you'd expect from the ship of a prominent pirate. You hear voices coming from up there. A lot of voices in fact.

"I'm gonna check on the ship real quick-"
BAP
You faceplant the boat as you try to jump up and fly over.

"Need a little help?"

You hum in confirmation and Murray grabs you by the collar in order to hurl you over to the Dauntless where you land on your face again.
"Hi guys..."

"S-Silver!"

"Welcome back lad!"

"SILVER!"

"We were wondering when you'd be back. So how did it go? You look like crap."
Lyda, Greki, Will and Gu appear to be perfectly fine which makes you relieved.

"FOOD!"

Toxin nods and brings out an entire pot of curry with rice. Using a funnel he pours the whole thing down your gullet whilst Lyda is busy addressing your injuries. Much to her shock you haven't suffered any serious injuries aside a few fractures from when that blind dude pinned you guys down. As you're finally allowed to swallow you start explaining things and let your body digest the meal in peace. After hearing your report of what transpired up there the others cross their arms and nod.

"Well that went better than expected! How many Celestial Dragons did you guys kill by the way?"

"I'unno. Lost count. I killed like four I think. The rest were mainly done by the slaves over there and I didn't count."

"Damn! If they weren't mad at us before they surely will now. I just wish I could've seen it myself. Anyway what about those guys? There's an awful lot of them. What's the idea there?"

"Nothing. I thought I might keep them! Not as slaves of course. As friends!"

"You do realize we can't carry that many people with us, right? We are stretched pretty thin with our giant friend as is. And he has to sleep out in the open! Not to mention the sheer amount of food and water we'd need to sustain a crew like that would surely sink us."
Gu has a point there. A shame since you kinda like these guys. Sure they are a bunch of weenies but if you showed them the ropes they'd surely get better. But their numbers are a little big.

"Well I don't mind sleeping under the stars and the sun. Sometimes I wish I had a little tent to keep me dry or a better blanket but that's it. Anyway don't let that break your spirit lad. I'm sure we'll think of something. Maybe we could keep a few of the very best and let the rest settle down on some island?"

"Erm are you guys forgetting something?"
Will raises his hand.
"All of them have the dragon mark. The government will hunt them down no matter where they go."

Your stomach growls, signaling that it has done its job and you feel your strength returning. After jumping up you smash your fist into your palm and grin.

"Hold your horses champ. I think that's enough bloodshed for a while. For now I think we should lay low for a while."

"Hmmmmm. Maybe. I did have my fill for a while. I wouldn't mind a vacation! "

"G-Gu is right. I don't want to be chased by marines..."

"Did they chase you?"

"No-"
Will replies.
"I kept watch. No ships came except this one. But there were a lot of BIG waves! Thankfully we had Grampy to take care of them! He took his BIG hammer and WOOSH put a hole in the tsunami!"

"Grekikikiki! And thanks to our lovely doctor my hips did not give up this time!"

That's good. Anyway, what's up with them?"
You point at the ship Eliza arrived in since apparently Will saw it coming.

"W-We don't know. They just arrived, gave us mean looks and that's it."

"There was one person from that ship who... ran up the Red Line."

Ah yes. You wonder how she's doing up there. And at that moment you hear something LOUD coming from up there which makes the waters shake even 10.000 meters away. Gu and the others start wondering just what the hell is going on when you see a figure pierce through the clouds and land on the other ship. The landing is in no way soft or gentle and almost makes the ship sink as its backside gets DANGEROUSLY close to tipping over. Everybody waits a moment for the "enemy" ship to stabilize and for its crew to show any signs of movement. Unfortunately you start to hear some very familiar clicking noises. The sound of guns being cocked. You look over the railings of your ship and see that they've aimed quite a lot of things at you, even some of their cannons. Well that's about what you can expect from pirates.

"I'm gonna go over there-"

Idiot, Silver doesn't get waifus, he doesn't even know what sex is, he just takes loooong naps in Lyda's medbay, and wakes up with a cramp in his pelvis. Nothing weird with that, what is weird is his female crew walking funny, and he'll give them hugs and ask if their okay.

"Follow me!"

"W-Wait Silver!"
Lyda reaches after you as you transform into a tiny bat but you just laugh it off.

"Come on it'll be fine! Look Jaws and the others are already going!"

Flapping over to the other ship you almost catch a bullet but luckily these guys suck. After landing on the railing of their ship you revert to your regular form and start laughing.
"Kekeke! I'm coming over!"

"YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO SAY THAT BEFORE YOU DO IT!"
They all shout at you.

"Anyway I'm Silver! Nice to meet you!"

"Who does this brat think he is?"

"Yeeeah! Doesn't he know who we are? Let's waste him and rob his ship! Maybe the captain will reward us!"

"Or step on us~"

"NO!"

As they argue between each other you take a closer look at them and feel... disappointed. There really is nothing exceptional about them. Some are tough sure and all of them seem capable enough to survive sailing the new world but in a fight you don't think they could keep themselves safe they are just so weak. It's very disappointing how most, if not all of the girls on your ship are more dangerous than these guys. Speaking of which, there isn't actually any girls on this ship now that you're looking at it.

"Oy..."
A voice speaks up.
"What do you think you're doing, idiot?"

"Oooooooh! Looks like Cap'n is pissed! Hah! Say goodbye boy because you're about to enter a world of-"

But you ignore the guy in front of you and instead focus on the subject of your fascination, the one to whom the voice belonged. Locking eyes with her you start grinning and Eliza does the same. You spot a glint in her eyes and you start feeling weird. Excitement surges until you feel it erupting from within and somehow clashing with her own. The resulting explosion feels like a clash between two unstoppable forces and makes about half of her crew pass out just from being near it. When it ends the remaining ones drop their weapons and start to back off just as your crewmembers make their way on the ship.

"What the hell is going on?!"
Jaws asks.

"T-That brat has the power of a conqueror?"
One of Elizas goons backs off.
"How?!"

"Oy. I'll ask again. What are you still doing idiot?"

"H-Heh! Yeah captain! Show this bastard who we-"

Eliza then rushes forward and kicks the guy that's been holding a gun at your head all this time in the head. As the guy rolls around unconscious and bleeding from his head Eliza starts shouting at him.
"WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING HOLDING A GUN AT MY BUDDY?!"

"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEH?"
>>
>>4916922
MOM YOU COME HOME FROM THE MILK RUN.
>>
>>4916893
Hey now, Silver helps too, he just repeats what he did with Will. He wants them all safe, sound, and strong enough to kill anyone that steps foot on the ship. It's fine!
>>4916922
>Neechan has a bunch of masochists on her ship
Well, when you have a reputation like hers any grunt in a storm or however that saying goes.
>>4916937
Kek. Now, how about we try and produce the fluffiest bat point form possible, and then hug her.
>>
As her crew stands there unsure of what just happened she walks over to you and sizes you up. She puts her hands on her waist and smirks.
"Bat huh? Itty bitty batty."

As she pinches your cheeks you transform into your bat form so she can smush your face in more. As Eliza starts playing Gu starts looking at Murray for answers.
"Oy is that who I think it is?"

"I think so. Eliza D. Silver. The woman Silver told us about. She came up there and saved our hides. But whether she did it on purpose or just on a whim?"

"Well judging by that I'd say it's the former."

Eliza then finally stops which prompts you to transform back.
"It's good to see you again kid. No... I suppose it's Silver now."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjuImlE3-LQ

Both of you sit down on the deck and give the other one a big hug which you simply refuse to break up. Nestling up to her makes you feel like you're back on the island but this time it feels good. The silence which fell on the ship is broken as Eliza begins to hum a familiar tune to you as she ruffles your hair and you feel your hold on your emotions weaken. You start to cling and hug harder as you start sobbing. As she finishes Binks Sake you stop crying as well, feeling relieved. Finally she moves her hand away from your hair and starts exploring a bit more. Specifically she lifts your eyepatch and examines your arm closer.
"Nice scars. Real big boy stuff! Did it hurt?"
You shake your head and she bumps you on the shoulder.
"Ooooh we got a real tough guy right here! I'd love to hear to story behind it!"

But before you get too excited you remember that you probably should introduce your friends first. As you stand back up however you struggle to figure out where you should be standing. On one hand you want to be by the side of your friends, on the other you don't want to let go of Eliza. But she notices how clingy you are and she gently pushes you to your crew.
"Well it looks like you managed to gather quite a gang there! Name's Eliza. Eliza D. Silver. And you guys are?"

"Oh me me! Let me do it! This is Jaws, this is Hook, Toxin, Angel, Stitches, Spider, Bullseye and Tiny! And they are my family!"

Murray then hits you on the head.
"Let us introduce ourselves Silver!"

They each give their proper names to Eliza who just laughs at your rogues gallery of people that you call family. She finds your choices highly amusing but she does stifle her laugh once they are done.
"Arara! Thanks for taking care of the idiot kid. Must've been quite hard!"

"You... have no idea."

"But that's good. Looks like you finally got what you wanted huh? Good!"

Marcella crosses her arms and scoffs.
"Yeah you know what would've been better? If a certain bitch didn't abandon him on an island with a bunch of torturers and slavers. Just a thought!"

"Oh? You want to go babydoll? I'll ruin your-"
But Eliza bites her own tongue.
"No I'm not gonna snap."

"HEY! No fighting! Hook it's okay. It's because of her that I could meet you guys! And she's family too!"

"Y-Yeah. About that. Look kid. You remember what I said that day? I wanted nothing more than to take you with me. I would've shown you shit you never could've imagined! But I knew it was a bad idea. And here's why. Look at these goofballs I gathered. Notice anything? They aren't strong. I do all the fighting around here. They are just here to run the ship and keep me well fed and healthy in exchange for treasure-"

"AND BEATINGS!"

"I WILL FUCKING END YOU! Look. What I'm trying to say is that I'm a dumbass. I can barely take care of myself. All I know is how to fight. I couldn't take care of a kid. And with half the world after my head it wouldn't have been safe for you to travel with me."

"B-But we are-"

"Of course we are. But what do you want to do? Hide behind mommas skirt all your life or go and make your name known with the cool family you made for yourself? You will always be my special little boy. My little Silver. But you got your own adventures to do and I have mine. Get it?"

"U-uh huh..."

"Hey! What's with the long face? I didn't say I'll leave you now! Not before I give you all the hugs you deserve you little shit! Hehe!"

"Erm... Captain Eliza?"

"Just Eliza fishface. Only these degenerates call me captain. Or mad dog if you want to."

"Well Eliza. You say that people are after you. But ever since Silver told us about your story we searched for information about you and found nothing. Not even a wanted poster."

"Ah. Well don't think everyone gets their bounty reprinted like you rookies since after like... 500.000.000 it's super hard to increase your bounty. I got one but it's old as balls. Here, I have an old copy."
Upon revealing the old and stained paper it becomes readily apparent for everyone that she was correct. The others gagged while choking on their saliva. For they were in the presence of a woman with a bounty of 1.5 billion.
>>
"So yeah. Taking a kid with me to the New World would've been a bad idea. I almost died rowing through the Calm Belt. But all this talk reminds me of something. What happened to that shitty island? I was half tempted to go there and destroy it with my bare hands!"

"I burnt it to the ground!"

"Oh. AHAHAHHAHA! That's the spirit! Going from burning small slavers to burning big slavers at the top of the world? Now I simply must hear about your stories!"

Eagerly you recount your tales to Eliza about how you set sail from home, how you met each of your friends, what kind of wackos you met on the various island and naturally about the kind of fights you got in to. At one point you go through every little bit that you gained on your journey like your jade earrings, your various scars and of course the big tattoo on your back. As you proudly tell her about everything your crewmembers start to mingle with each other since they have little else to do.

"I don't believe it. Never would've thought I'd see our captain being so... so... warm. We assumed she doesn't care about anyone beside herself."

"It's quite bizarre. It took us a lot of time to make Silver feel comfortable. But even to this day he sometimes thrashes around in his sleep. Somehow I don't think he'd have a problem like that now. But if your captain is such a monster why do you follow her?"

"Wealth, fame, power. What else? Some bastards are kinky but they are mostly in it for the money as well. Not everyone makes it out alive but those that do can retire as kings."

As Gu and one of Elizas men keep talking you continue your discussion with her. Finally you start to run out of things to say and it looks like she got it all.
"Okay. I just have one question left. When you killed those dragons which admiral did they send after you?"

"Why?"

"No reason."
She cracks her knuckles.

"Some guy in a yellow suit. He was very fast and shiny."

"Shit. Borsalino. I hate that guy. I was thinking about going to Marineford real quick and dish out some payback but that guy is a pain in the ass no matter how much you wear him down. Too bad, they should be wrapping up soon."

"How do you know that?"

"I just have a bad feeling. It probably means Newgate is dead. Too bad. I liked the old guy. But he was sick anyway so this is probably a better way for him to die anyway."

"Wait-"
Marcella raises an eyebrow.
"Did you just say you were going to fight a man made of light? How in hell were you planning on doing that?!"

"Hmmmm yes. Sometimes I forget weenies outside the New World don't know what Haki is. Hey Silver! Remember what I showed you up there?"
You think she refers to that attack she did so you try to imitate it.
"No no no. That's no good. Alright, I'm not a teacher but I'll show you how to use it. After that it's your job to figure it out and teach it to your friends if you want to."

Baltigo: the secret headquarters of the Revolutionary Army. There is much excitement within the ranks of the rebels as it's not every day that a world changing event takes place.

"Calm down everyone there are papers for everyone! Hey hey hey buddy I said calm down!"

The outcome of the war would determine how they proceed from this point forward. Do they continue business as usual or has the strong arm of the government been crippled and they start mobilizing immediately? Everybody is anxious and nobody is certain what the future holds. Naturally the front page gives away little, only serving to hype up the contents of the paper. "Paramount War Over: Dawn of a new Era". But as people start flipping the papers open everything becomes clear. Some take this poorly, mostly the ones that are tired of idly sitting by and biding their time. But others like the "Revolutionary" Dragon only nod in approval.

Things could've gone horribly wrong, no doubt about that. And while this isn't the best outcome it has something quite beneficial going for it: Opportunity. With the death of Whitebeard people are scrambling to fill the void he left. Most likely his replacement won't be as benevolent, someone like Marshal D. Teach. And cruel or incompetent overlords breed discontent which is the perfect environment to nurture revolutions. Not only that but through the confirmation of One Piece's existence there will be more pirates at sea than ever. That has its downsides, sure. But disruption of trade, the flow of information or travel aren't too big of a price to pay when it means the Governments resources will be stretched pretty thin even with their newly revealed Pacifista project.

"Good. We can work with this."

But as more and more people get their hands on the papers things start to take a turn for the worse quite rapidly. First Dragons second in command collapses as a sobbing mess. His friends and close associates are quick to rush over to him, especially Koala.
"SABO! What's wrong?"

"Luffy! Ace! SAKAZUKI!"
He began to cry loudly as grief overwhelmed him.
"LUFFY! ACE! I... I REMEMBER!"
The memories which flooded his mind and the new context that came with them was too much for him to handle. As he was taken to the infirmary Koala remained and felt conflicted.

"Are you okay Koala?"

"Y-Yes Rosie. I just always assumed that Sabo getting back his memories would be a happy occasion. I just don't know anymore."

"We'll have to ask him once he calms down. For now all we can do is wait."

"You're right Hack. Thank you."

"Now what do you say we finish this? At least we'll have something to take our minds off things-"
Hack then flipped the page over and his eyes bulged out.
"HMMMMMM?"

"What's wrong Hack? Is it that ba- GASP!"

As people finished reading the main article and went on with their reading they too experienced the shock that awaited them. 23 dead. 23 Celestial Dragons were brutally murdered in a raid by a pirate. And they got away with it! The masses didn't know how to react at first until one man couldn't contain himself and shouted.
"YEEEEEEAAAAAAAH! GET 'EM PIRATES! WOOOOO!"
Herd mentality kicked in fast and soon everyone was cheering. Finally after many years of grueling, hard guerrilla warfare they see their enemies suffering. Even if it's not by their hands it's still very satisfying. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend" couldn't be more right and soon the revolutionaries chanted the name "Silver" over and over again in triumph.

Well... all but a select few.
"S-Silver?!"

"T-That's the pirate you told me about isn't it?"

Koala nodded and Rosie was shaking.
"I-It can't be! I-I-I attacked him! I-"

"Breathe Rosie breathe! It's okay! You're not in any danger!"
As she was trying to calm down her friend Koala began thinking. How could he do that? Why would he do that? And will he do it again?

But it wasn't just them who lamented this development. Dragon himself was greatly displeased, to the point that he crumbled up the paper in his hands in frustration. His men were cheering but because they couldn't see the big picture. This isn't some big thing to be celebrated, it's a monkey-wrench thrown in their carefully laid plans. This half-assed raid against the world nobles only managed to achieve one thing for the Revolutionary Army. It made all future operations of theirs much more difficult. Security will increase, the complacent divinity might take preventative measures that such a thing will never happen again.
"Damn pirates..."

>>4917826
The only Monkey Silver is on decent terms with is Luffy.
And even then they have some disagreements, although ultimately I think the both of them want to see the other succeed, as long as one doesn't get in the way of their goal.
>>
>>4917845
I dunno, I'd say he'd fight him for the One Piece. Tho we didn't take the last few chances for loot so maybe Silver isn't that greedy
>>
>>4917865
What I find funny about that is that Silver probably wouldn't give two shits about actually having the treasure. It's not like he needs it for anything specific. He'd want it just because he could take it. Luffy would care about it insofar as even he can put two and two together and see that whoever gets that treasure is pretty much going to be considered the Pirate King.

If anything Silver would be going after it explicitly to spite Luffy. And if he ended up getting his ass kicked afterwards he may still be satisfied with it.

Unless there's something really, REALLY cool in it. Then all bets are off.
>>
>>4917865
I don't think One Piece really cares much about it.
I feel like in a way he's almost the Whitebeard of this generation.
Cares greatly about his crew/family, believes that people should live as they want, although Silver's is a bit indirect, as he believes anyone with power should live as they want, and ultimately doesn't care about becoming Pirate King.

If anything, I can see Silver being curious about One Piece, and maybe wanting to see what it is after Luffy is cemented as Pirate King.
>>
>>4918012
Ugh, meant Silver in that first sentence, but adding onto this I suppose Silver isn't very humanitarian, and he's way more viscous than Whitebeard.
>>
>>4917960
Yea, Silver isn't really the greedy hoarder type... He doesn't really get off on *having* things near as much as he enjoys *taking* them... And it's not like he really has the whole "value of money" thing down, since if he wants something and can't afford its a case of either: Just taking it or raiding some other place for the cash.

Our beef with Luffy is the same kinda beef Bugs has with Daffy. We don't /really/ care about him per say because his goals don't mesh or interrupt ours, but we will fuck with him because it's both fun and we think he deserves to be fucked with.

Luffy on the other hand thinks we a food stealing asshole, which to be fair we are, and a bloodthirsty maniac, also true, but other than that he doesn't hate us either. Oh he will definitely throw down if he has the time, as would we, but it'd never dissolve into a death match.

Ultimately it's less hatred, or even rivalry if you look at it objectively, and more of a clash of ideals.

Luffy wants to be the Pirate King, he's chasing after a title that a lot of folks are but that doesn't discourage him because /he/ wants it.

Silver wants an identity, a selfhood. Ultimately he's fighting not for a title, but just to /be/ a person, to be someone instead of something. If people want his title after he's dead and done with it that's on them, but Silver wants to actually make it and not inherit it.

Silver thinks Luffy is an idiot chasing after someone else's leavings and treating that shit like gospel, Luffy thinks, well not much because he's Luffy, but what he does think is probably along the lines of "this guy is a meanie. He means well, but he's still a meanie." and by that logic he wants to punch us in the face because that's just his natural instinct to men and women who don't seem to care about anyone around them when they start doing shit.

But provided we both survive I could also see Old man Luffy and Old man Silver at a table sharing a drink, absolutely willing to stab each other over the food, and generally reminiscing about the good old days of their adventures before throwing down into a "goodbye bar fight" and getting on their respective ships for more adventure because the only thing that's going to make these two stop fucking around is death and possibly not even that.

Spot on.
Honestly if any proper rivalry is going to appear with the strawhats it'l be Zoro and us... Because he wants to be the swordiest swordsman who ever sworded and Silver *needs* to be at the top of the foodchain; not only to feel safe but to be a moral person. (and we have a sword)
There you have a clash of interests, add on top of it we that are talking about two *very* self destructive individuals who are a lot more afraid of failure then they are of dying and to top it off both base a lot of their value as an individual on their ability to do violence.
Luffy is just there... But that's Luffy, he is always kind of just there as the story happens around him.

On the island of Rusukaina:
"Ah dearest Luffy! How my chest aches for you. I wish I could go after him and be the one to relieve the horrible pain he must be in! INSTEAD I'M STUCK HERE WITH YOU MEN!"

"Hey Hancock-ya, if it bothers you so much I'll just remove the stitches holding him togethere and take my leave. That what you want?"

"WHY YOU-"

"Princess! Get a hold of yourself. Were it not for the bravery of these men your beloved would most likely be dead. Calm down and show some respect!"

"Gloriosa is right Pirate Empress-"
Rayleigh spoke up.
"I know you're frustrated right now but there is little else we can do but wait. Sadly none of us have the ability or the right to help Straw Hat Luffy right now. Don't you think it'd be distasteful if us complete strangers would try to console him for the death of his brother?"

"I- You're right Dark King. My apologies. I shall wait patiently and continue to tolerate your presence for my dears sake!"

"Pfffft. Look how flustered big sis became. And all because of a man. Ridiculous isn't it Soni? Soni?"

"Huff huff."

"Sonia. What are you doing? And why are you breathing so heavy? Hmmmm. What's that in your hand?"

"W-WHAT?! N-Nothing! It's just the news. I borrowed it from the talking bear after he read the comic strips.

"Ah I see-"
But Marigold sneakily transformed into her snake form and using her long snake tail snatched the paper out of Sandersonias hand.

"HEY!"

"Gotcha! Now let's see- URK! W-W-What?"

"GIVE IT BACK!"

As Sandersonia and Marigold began wrestling each other for the paper Trafalgar Law walked up to his first-mate.
"Hey Bepo. Are you done with your comics yet? I wanna read the news."

"Erm it's over there."

"Oh for the love of- Shambles! Now let's see... What? The notorious pirate "Cavaliere" Silvers bloodthirst appears to be insatiable. After not only assaulting and killing three of the Celestial Dragons but surviving the wrath of the government he decided to drive the point home by taking the fight to the world nobles directly! His brazen actions reminiscent of the infamous and long dead terrorist Fisher Tiger are so dreadful and downright horrifying that they make one almost forget about the terrible war costing hundreds of lives which just happened a few days ago. Oy oy is this for real? 23 celestial dragons killed? An entire bloodline destroyed? Hey old man. You've been eavesdropping right? Don't you find this even a little bit interesting?"

"Not really-"
Rayleigh drank from his flask.
"I knew exactly what to expect from that kid the moment I saw him. If you're wise you'll steer clear of that one. It's the kind of madness that will only get worse until he's killed."

"I'll be the judge of that. Cuz I think you've been out of the game for far too long old timer. That kind of madness is exactly what one needs to succeed out at sea."

But it was not only Rayleigh who overheard that. The Boa sisters were listening closely and it became abundantly clear what got Sandersonia so excited. And in that confused pause she could snatch back her precious wanted poster that came with the papers. The one depicting Captain "Cavaliere" Silver, the Dragon Slayer.

I feel bad for Marigold, all her sisters found the men of their dreams, worrying tastes in them aside, she hasn't found hers yet. She did get along with Murray though, for the brief time they were near each other.
>>4918700
Ahhh, Sandersonia coming up with the name then. Makes sense, her dashing manlet in bat fur, eating a dragon or two, and freeing slaves. It will be great to read them meeting again, and then showing her we still have the Dragons Mark on us.
Do we get Hordy or are you waiting for that?

You not dying or burning out is more important, we can save Hody being Silvers #1 Fanboy when we meet him, I am satisfied with just teach.

Whew. Looks like Kino is back on the menus boys! Manga is killing it, anime animation was stunning this episode. Tobi Roppo voices are like someone pouring honey down my ears.
Truly blessed.
Only thing I'm iffy about is the cat/fox hybrid. But maybe it'll grow on me or it was just a bad angle

ANYWAY! I think I'm going to run on Saturday next. Get things rolling a bit after all that sappy shit. Although things will be fairly slow for a while

"Haki? Isn't that a marine technique? How do you know that? And would you really just tell us how to use that?"
Hagetaka starts bombarding Eliza with questions which visibly annoys her.

"No. It's not a marine trick. Everyone has haki even animals. Just not everyone can use it. You can learn it from others or you can just... unlock it. But you need to be under a lot of pressure for that to happen and even then you might just crack. In the New World it's common knowledge but only because you either have it and can compete or you don't and die. It's that simple. And I'm not going to teach you squat! I'm gonna show my boy what it's like. Afterwards it's your job to figure it out and it's up to him if he even shows you. Cuz I don't care."

"Tch. Some help that is! If you just want to do this out of pity then shove it up your ass! We'll manage!"

Eliza looks down at you.
"Man where did you find this annoying boy?"

"I'LL KILL YOU!"

"Anyway cool your sails shorty. I'm only gonna show him the ropes because that's how it should be. Haki is not easy stuff. Don't think I can properly explain it. And it'll be better for you in the long run if you figure it out yourselves. Wanna know what "learning" haki looks like? Look at the marines. Everyone at Vice-Admiral level has it and they teach you how to use it which is why they suck. You can't learn this from a book, you need to experience it. Anyway that's way too much talking already!"

She leads you to the other end of the ship and she makes all her crewmates leave the area before shoving you forward.
"Wah! What are we going to do on the deck Eliza?"

"Simple! Violence!"
You grin and roll up your sleeves because you've been anticipating this from the very beginning. She starts laughing at you.
"Calm down big guy calm down! Let me finish first! Then we'll bump fists. Since you have the power of Conquerors already I think we can ignore that one. So what would you like to start with? The color of Armaments or Observation?"

"Observation? What's that?"

"Erm how do I explain this?"
She lightly taps your tummy.
"It's basically this. You can call it anything, it has a lot of names. Observation Haki, the Color of Observation and a bunch more but they all basically mean the same thing. It's a sense like your eyes or ears. The blind guy on the rock? He was using this to see the cheating bastard."

"Aha! So how do I use it?"

"You probably already do. It's that feeling in your guts when something dangerous is happening around you. But remember how I said everyone has haki even if you don't know it? It's a presence, a fighting spirit and it reflects everything you do. When you want to do something there is an intent behind it. And you can use Observation to read their intent through their own haki basically. Shit I'm not making any sense am I? Fuck I'm not a good teacher. Okay, no more boring stuff! Put your hand up!"
Following her instructions you throw a punch and she does the same. When your fists meet your arm goes limp and she starts shaking her hand.
"Alright! Now I know how hard I can hit you before you die. Alright! Let's hope you got it because if not this'll hurt!"

She starts hopping in place with her hands raised and ready to throw down. You put up your guard in preparation but it doesn't look like she's making a move. For a moment you start thinking about attacking first but your focus is broken by Lydas scream.
"W-WATCH OUT!"

At first you don't know what she means but then you detect it. A hit is coming in from the left side and fast! Eliza attacked your blind side on purpose. Luckily despite its astounding speed you manage to duck under the blow and avoid it in the last moment. She grins at your display.
"Alright very good! Looks like you got the hang of that very quickly!"

You shake your head in defiance.
"Nope."

"What are you talking about? You dodged my hit."

"I just heard it coming, that's all."

Eliza starts to chuckle and pats you on the head.
"Oh you silly little- You couldn't have heard that. I punched faster than sound! What you just experienced was your observation! It's very weak but you definitely have it. A'ight that makes my job easier!"
She kneels down so she's on your level.
"Now to use it properly you need to focus. Observation works best if your mind is sharp."

"But I'm dumb."

"So am I, you see me complaining? You don't need to be smart, just sharp. Ignore everything else, your eyes, your ears, your nose and even your touch. Only listen to your gut. Don't let anything else cloud your judgment!"
>>
>>4921089
>Lyda can see the attack
Or she's just a smart cookie and knew that was how it was going to play out
>>
You nod and try to do as she instructed. But it's not entirely clear how you can focus on something like that so you improvise by shutting your eye and stuffing your ears with pieces of cloth. Almost immediately afterwards you "feel" Eliza swinging at you. At first it's only a glimmer, a single glint in the dark which tells you that something is coming. It's a very limited in how much it can detect but it's just enough for you to narrowly dodge what she throws at you. But as your movement becomes more sure so do her attacks get more fierce. For a while it feels like you're making no progress and just stumble around aimlessly but the image steadily becomes clearer over time. The glints turn into shapes, the shapes become more and more detailed until it looks like you can see Elizas outlines. You become so confident in this ability to "see" with your guts that you open up your eyes just to see what the world would look like right now but the excess of information quickly overwhelms you and Eliza manages to deck you in the face.

"Whoops. Sorry! It looked like you had it down for good!"

"O-Ow!"

"Yeaaaaah. Your concentration broke. Better take it slowly. But if you keep using it your observation will get good enough that you can just use it whenever as long as your concentration doesn't lax. Oh and there is one more thing. All haki is like a muscle, it can get tired. If you run out of it you can't use it until you get some rest."

"Run out? Wait, where is it?"

"Weren't you paying attention? I said it's your fighting spirit! It's all stored in your balls! The bigger balls you have the more haki you have! Simple!"

"But... you don't have any. Does that mean girls can't use Haki?"

"And just how exactly do you know that?"

"I live together with four girls-"
You tip your hat to reveal some of the lumps on your head.
"And I refuse to knock on my own ship."

"PFFFFFT AHAHAHHAHAHA! W-Well it's the balls in your heart that count. So if you want more haki you gotta be more ballsy, pick big fights, get into tough situations! Anyway I think you get the gist of Observation. As long as you remember to keep practicing you should be able to develop it. Now all that's left is Armament. Shit..."

"What's wrong?"

"Well if you thought observation is a pain in the ass wait till you hear about armament. Not really sure how to tackle all that. What do you say we take a little break and you recover from that suckerpunch?"

>No I can keep going!

You grab your nose and crank it back in place.
"I can keep going!"

"Alright but don't say I didn't warn you. Now how to do this?"

"Hey Eliza?"

"Yes?"

"If I have balls in my heart does that mean my heart has a willy too?"

"Yes. Anyway, first things first. Can you see this? You should be able to."
Eliza raises her hand and you see black spots appearing on it which slowly encroach on her entire forearm.

"WHOA!"

"Oh yeah. Armament is basically "invisible armor". This is what it looks like for someone who has the Color of Observation. Well, at first it really is invisible because you use so little of it. But everyone uses at least this much of it. The color will always be black but it will be deeper depending on how strong it is and may have a sheen to it."

"Okay! How I do?"

"Well that's the hard part. I told you what haki is, it's presence, will. That is the most important. 'The act of not doubting'. That is strength. To first use armament you'll need to be absolutely certain. To punch through steel it's not enough to think or feel. You must know with all of your being that when you punch your fist will beat metal. Pump yourself up and hit without restraint! Once you get a taste of it it'll be easier but you must make that leap of faith first."

You nod and wind up the biggest punch you've ever thrown. With your tongue sticking out you hope that Eliza knows what she's doing because if this goes through then it will likely cause a lot of destruction. But you just shrug and throw the punch straight into her open palm. The loud smack is accompanied by the sound of bones cracking. Looking down you see that your arm is bent in all the wrong places and it feels like the whole thing is on fire right now.
"Oooooooow."

"O-Oh I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to hurt you! Show me your ha-a-a... let's not look at that anymore. Erm I thought that with how easy it was for you to figure out observation you'd get a hold of this as well. Usually people have trouble with that and not the other way around."
Both of your medics rush over and address your broken hand to the best of their abilities. Sadly it will be out of commission for a while now, meaning you have no useful hands anymore. Eliza seems really upset that she harmed you like that.
"Craaaap. I messed up. Okay we'll call it quits here and pick up later-"

"NO! I won't stop just because I got no hands left! The willy in my heart is completely erect and it demands I keep going!"
>>
>>4921269
>"Yes. Anyway,
Doesn't even miss a beat. Nice.
>>
Eliza lets out a chortle and she shakes her head.
"Alright. One more try. But that's it! Understand? I'll knock you out if you act fussy again! Now remember what I did in Mary Geoise? You'll give it a shot."

"The family recipe?"

"Exactly. Come on. Lift that other hand up."

"Does it work if it's not my arm?"

"Yeah. You can use haki on anything. Even things you wouldn't think like fire."
Eliza then takes her stance and you mirror her every motion.
"Now there is a trick to this that I like to do. I always throw this one out raw, no armament or anything and at the very last moment when I hit them I push the haki in as well. That way they won't expect it and won't guard. Now do it after me. Pull your hand back, clench your buttcheeks and shout!"

"Silver Style: Silver Voice!"
"Mad Dog Style: Silver Voice!"

As you moved in sync you felt like there is nothing that could stand in your way now and the result of the punch was a testimony to that. The moment you threw the punch a shockwave was created which rocked the ship. Looking down at your hand after the fact revealed nothing, there was no trace of the black coating. However the voice of the prosthetic changed and as you tapped it with your bandaged arm it felt much harder than it had any right being.
"Good job kid you did it! Kid?"

"Y-Yeay!"
Suddenly your eyes feel heavy and your legs loose their strength. As you fall Eliza catches you and gives you a concerned look.
"Did I do good?"

"Yeah you did. Unfortunately it looks like you have very little armament to work with. One hit is all it took for you to deplete it. How are you feeling?"

"Hongry."

"Alright. HEY DOUCHEBAGS! IF YOU GOT TIME TO LAZE AROUND YOU GOT TIME TO WORK IN THE KITCHEN! MOVE IT MOVE IT! I DEMAND A FIFTEEN COURSE MEAL OR I'LL HAVE YOUR ASSES FOR DINNER! Food's on it's way!"

Things get a bit out of control after that as both Elizas men and Gu begin cooking up a fierce storm inside as they not only have to feed you but probably the slaves from Mary Geoise could use something to eat as well. They get invited onto the ship and you throw a big feast for everyone. But with your only good arm busted up you are being hand fed by Eliza as she threatened Lyda to back off. Between two spoonfuls of gruel she looks at the slaves.
"That's quite a crowd you gathered. What are you planning to do with them?"

"I don't know. I just wanted to free them."

"You probably should do something about them then. Cause otherwise the marines will just drag them back in chains."

>I wanna take them to Fishman Island
>I'll just give them some supplies, they can go where they want to
>Your ship is big. Can't you take them?
>Other?
>>
>>4921316
>I wanna take them to Fishman Island

Ok, so, here's the thing. We need to get them to some temporary safety and fishman island is probably that, then what comes after? I'd believe that Silver strongly believes in teaching them how to fish rather then protecting them... If some want to tag along with us, and we think they can survive it... Sure, but for most I'd say the best thing we can do for them is to get them a ship, a flag, our name and tell them to "Come find me in the New World!"... Possibly after pointing them at Banderas

Because they are free now, but they will need to fight tooth and claw for the rest of their lives if they are to remain that way...And sadly unless they got the Conan style of slavery build I very much doubt they'd survive coming to the New World with us... Assuming poor Daunty could carry all of them for an extended amount of time.

Thoughts everyone?
>>
>>4921342
This makes sense. Though I do kinda hesitate to take them to Fishman island, but that might be going too meta. Do we even have enough room on the ship for the slaves? Enough coated ships?
>>
>>4921342
I think you're completely on the mark. I was considering giving them supplies and sending them off but who knows if they even know how to sail, might as well dump them overboard. But we can't nanny them. Fishman Island they would at least be able to get some breathing room to decide what to do with themselves.
>>
>>4921352
Eliza is heading for the New World as well. Even if you don't ask her to take them she will at least help carry them down
>>
>>4921352
I'd guess that we could probably pack ourselves in like sardines in the Dauntless on the (very) short term... Because that's the only coated ship we have, and we also need to disappear ASAP before every man, woman and child the navy, dragons and WG can muster comes crashing down on us.

>>4921357
Well not just that, they're probably starved half to death and in need of some serious medical care. We can get them on their feet. We can, and have, given them the opportunity and quite frankly the rest will be up to them no matter what.

>>
>>4921316
>I wanna take them to Fishman Island
Seems like the safest option in the short term.
>>4921342
There should also be some people with no aptitude for fighting, and these people will have to be taken outside the World Government's sphere of authority. Then again, given the panic over the 23 dead Dragons, the others will prioritize keeping themselves safe from crazy pirates over chasing down replaceable slaves, having realized they aren't so invincible anymore. That ought to buy us some time.

Do you know who else couldn't fight for shit? Who was just a thing that took abuse day in and day out without a thought of even defending himself? They'l learn or they'l die or get captured. If they don't want that then they'l learn fast.

>I wanna take them to Fishman Island
Yea Fishman Island gives us, and the slaves, a bit more time to think about what exactly they're going to do.
>>
So not a whole lot of votes this time but I think this leans towards "Taking them to Fishman Island"
With some mild support for just leaving them to their own devices
I guess Fishman Island wins by a little?

"I don't know. I was thinking about taking them to Fishman Island with us."

"Really? Why not just let them loose? You did more to help them than anyone else as is."

"If I do that won't the government take them back? If that happens I did nothing. So I'll take them down until I can think of something better."

Ann then looks at Eliza with a questioning gaze.
"You ask such strange things Miss Eliza. Aren't you also going out of your way to help Silver?"

"Yeap. But I got my reason. I wouldn't be alive right now if it weren't for my buddy. So I can't let him down now can I?"

"By your own reasoning you already helped us and saved his life. You had no reason to teach him that Haki technique."

"Are your crewmembers all this nosy? Well if you must know that is the only reason but it's not that simple. I was born in the New World and lived alone. No parents, no home, no food, nothing. So I had to get by however I could stealing food and what have you. Until one day a pirate crew came and reduced the whole thing to rubble. They ended up taking me in because the captain liked me. There was this shop where you could get ice cream and I could try it for the first time when they killed the owner. But when I got my prize one of those scumbags knocked the cone out of my hand so I killed him on the spot. That's what impressed the captain. What I mean to say is that I know what it's like to have nothing. And when I was on the verge of death this little runt found me who had less than nothing and he still went out of his way to help me. I respect that... And well I learned to love this little dork along the way! That also helped!"

As she gives you a big hug your bones start to crack and you ask her to do it harder. She does not comply under the threats of all medics present. But when she lets go of you she promises that she'll lend you her ship until you transport the slaves to Fishman Island, which is good. In addition to that it appears that they have several talented mechanics on her ship who, combined with Lydas expertise in biology managed to help you with your prosthetic problem. They added several joints and artificial muscle in the form of threaded steel cables and springs. Now under normal circumstances this would do nothing but because the arm is cursed and now has the means to move on its own it can do so even without any automation. So with your new arm you spend the next couple of days waiting for the heat to die down and for the coating expert you kidnapped to finish his work. Once he was finished he was given a boat and enough treasure to set him up for life.

"Captain we took in as many of the slaves as we could and Mad Dog kept her word. We are ready to dive at your command."

"Good! THEN SET SAILS!"

And I'm going to call it quits here.
I'm feeling a bit under the weather and would like to sleep.

Eliza is cute.

Also, our prosthetic is going to be pretty cool. We might even be able to add some attachments like Sekiro.
Maybe like a cannon, or a flashbang. Something that could catch someone off guard, since I doubt anything we could attach would be stronger than what we can do with our fists or weapons.

Eliza is great... It's so nice to have two characters as absolutely paranoid, scared and damaged as her and Silver relax around one another because there's no need for the usual bristle and violence.
That and how she is really trying to be helpful and personable while admitting to being absolutely horrible at it. So good.

Why does this feel like an argument that would actually happen on Silver's ship.
>>
>>4921640
But who would it be between? Gu and Will? Certainly not Silver. Silver is a civilized and refined boyo who would obviously know the proper soup spoon to use when eating his steak.
>>
>>4921640
Silver would argue spork, and Gu would argue fingers, because he is anal about using proper utensils to eat his food.
>>
>>4921715
Why a sponk or fnink
>>
>>4921705
Tiny and Gu, Tiny argues fingers because they're articulate and complicated to use. Gu argues spork because at least then Silver would actually eat with his hands instead of slamming his head into the nearest open pot or slab of meat on the table.
>>
Again with the people wanting to attach weaponry to the semi-sapient and actively malicious cursed hand which might, literally, try to kill us in our sleep or take advantage of all the thrashing and moving around Silver does in his sleep to hurt our crew.
I totally understand the impulse, but we do have a somewhat unique restriction that'd best be take into consideration.
>>
>>4922052
As far as the curse is concerned Silver is Mr.Popo.

It knows better.
>>
>>4922052
Oh yes. The cursed evil hand. Unlike the cursed evil weapons. Which totally would never ever try to kill anyone on their own.

My man if it was anyone other than Silver or maybe Zoro our sword would try to fall on them and behead them. And our gun would ND straight into someone's heart. If they haven't killed us yet I doubt the hand will either.
>>
>>4922074
I'd say the difference is that we don't have either of those on hand (hehe) while we're sleeping. But we shall see if it tries anything, I just don't trust the damnable thing is all.
>>
>>4922091
Like I said I don't think we need anything that crazy on it. Anything that we do end up putting on it would ultimately end being weaker than both Argent and Parley, simply due to having less room to work with.

As for the sleeping argument, if they're able to handle Silver without something like a small cannon or a flashbang, how much worse is he going to be with one on him?
>>
>>4922091
>I'd say the difference is that we don't have either of those on hand (hehe) while we're sleeping
Dude when we were in Greki's shop the cursed weapons were flinging themselves at us. Even being in the same room as them should be dangerous. Chill. It's all cool G.
>>
>>4922455
The curse is too afraid of Silver to try anything bad in his presence. The hand or the hand with a weapon is no different than the other cursed weapons we've used in the past.
>>
>>4922457
I know. That's what I'm trying to impress upon el anonio paranoiao
>>
Right, I'm getting outvoted and that's fine.
So what can we do beyond the very simple things like "sharpen the bone into a claw"? Well lets see, we have what amounts to two bio-weapon experts in Lyda and Gu so that's certainly an option if we don't mind copying Crocodile (I don't like copying people), getting the hand a seastone coating (dangerous to us, and also seastone weapon is kind of Murray's *thing*).
Briefly I considered the horror of a semi-sapient and actively malicious cursed *poison* but honestly that sounds like something Gu would fawn over to the point that he should have it.

So.... I don't have that many ideas of what could reasonably fit inside a hand/forearm and "pistol" just sounds to, I dunno, obvious?

>>
>>4923540
A rocket fist would be cool, but I don't think it'd be anything more than that.
We'd have to recover it, unless.... since it's cursed it would know to return on it's own.

Still seems really easy for whoever we're fighting to just grab or crush it, but at least it might be slightly more useful if that's the case.

>>4925880
Now I'm thinking of a guy whose fighting style revolves around hauling tons of cursed weapons around and flinging them so they can act on their own to try and murder stuff.

Naturally one of his attacks is a dumb stupid donkey king barrel toss but the barrel is full of cursed razor blades.

Honestly, I'd love to see one of the things we do during our 2 years in the New World be Planning and executing a robbery of Vegapunks lab/A similar WG black site. I think it would make for a really cool arc and be a perfect opportunity to upgrade our prosthetic into full on cursed cybernetics and get cool new add-ons like a Pile Bunker.

"SET SAILS!"

Murray nods.
"Okay. According to the coater we'll need to inflate our bubble and then we should be able to descend."

"The what?"

"The bubble. The thing we're standing on!"

Looking down you see that the ship is coated from stem to stern in a sticky, slimy layer of resin from the Sabaody Archipelago. It comically looks like someone pulled a balloon over your ship.
"Oooooh so THAT's what that is!"

"W-What did you think it was?"

"I thought Will wanted to blow soap bubbles and got carried away."

"Well it is not. And we got some very clear instructions about what we should and shouldn't do. And because this is very dangerous you'll listen to what I say. Just this once. Okay?"

"Kay."

You walk up to the wheel and look down at the deck from your vantage point. As the crew and your passengers get to work downstairs you hear the wooden boards creak under your feet. Gently you touch the railing and start caressing it.
"Don't be scared."

"Don't tell me what to do!"
The voice of Daunty echoes in your head.
"Do you know what it means when a ship is surrounded by water?!"

"But you're always surrounded by water..."

"Yes and stay ABOVE it! Sigh. Why is this happening? I was never meant to sail the New World. Then again I shouldn't be surprised. This is still only the third dumbest thing you did THIS WEEK!"

"Whatever do you mean?"

"You know full well what I mean! Going after those fat, greasy scum was stupid even from you! Whatever! Let's just... get this over with."

As you have your little conversation some slaves point up at you.
"Erm is he talking to himself?"

"Yeah just ignore him. He does that a lot. Better to not disturb him."

As the final preparations are complete the inflation of the bubble can finally begin. Copious amounts of air flow into the thin membrane causing it to expand to quite a large size until it encases the entire ship in a spherical bubble. You dive underwater quick as the bubbles have a very limited lifetime outside Sabaody and above water. Your ship submerges and suddenly you find yourselves surrounded by clear sea water from all directions. It is a rather terrifying thing to behold, especially for Devil Fruit users but the sight of the sea and fishes swimming around you can put a scare into any man.

"Well friends, welcome to my world."
Murray speaks up as he walks up to the bubble.
"Now couple of things to note. First, make sure you don't stick any part of you out of the bubble, it's dangerous. Second, while the bubble is pretty durable and you can stick stuff out of it without trouble if too many things start poking it or if something cuts it the thing WILL BURST! And lastly, keep an eye out at all times. If you see any movement call me. It's better to be safe than sorry. And for the love of god listen to what I say! This means YOU Silver!"

"Okay okay."
>>
"P-Pretty!"

"This is amazing Mister Murray! Is this how you see the world?"

"To me it's like taking a walk outside, it's nothing special. But make no mistakes water can be much more dangerous than fire. Admire it if you wish but don't let your guard down."

"Hey Bullseye! Let's grab some spears and go fishing!"

"WHAT DID I JUST TELL YOU ABOUT POKING THE BUBBLE?!"

Descending ever deeper towards your destination you catch an underwater current which function just like the regular sea currents upstairs, except these are also the "winds" here. At least according to Murray. And they are quite devilish things indeed. If your fishy friend is to be believed if you pick the wrong current to ride then your journey could be extended by a few years at minimum and thousands at most. Luckily you couldn't wish for a better guide than a fishman for this place. Unfortunately...

"Shit. These currents are a bit rough:"
Your den den mushi comes alive.
"Sorry kid, our ship is too big for this route. At this speed we'd be torn apart. We'll take a detour and meet you on Fishman Island."

"Awww. Hey Jaws, how long until we get there?"

"A fair bit. Ten thousand meters is still ten thousand meters. And as we go lower the currents will slow down due to the cold temperature. I suggest you find yourself something to occupy yourself with until then."

"Kay."

You look around for stuff to do and spot a few potential things to occupy yourself with. Hagetaka is off to the side fishing with Gu and Will and they appear to be talking about making sushi later. Ann, Greki and Lyda are taking in the sights at the quarterdeck with Murray occasionally enlightening them about the secrets of the deep sea. But you can't find Marcella anywhere. Strange.

Well since you're underwater and Marcella by definition is your master baiter you'll need her if you want to get anywhere. Definitely, most likely, maybe. At the very least you can prank the living hell out of some dumb fish for sure. So you go on a merry little adventure through the bowels of your ship ignoring your friends and the former slaves that are huddled within dimly lit rooms. They appear to be quite scared and understandably so. Diving underwater is a little unnerving even for you, let alone them. But at the very least they have your very friendly crabs to hug for comfort so they really have no reason to complain.

"Damn. I can not find her anywhere!"

"Her. Room. You. Idiot!"

"Oh. Thanks Daunty!"

With her directions you make your way to Marcellas chamber. But it's quite strange. You recall exploring it once and she was not in there. Upon entering however you do notice something which previously eluded you with your ear constantly making popping noises. You walk forward and open up her wardrobe where you find her curled up and shaking not unlike all those weenies down in the cargo hold. She seems to be breathing so hard that she feels the need to start unbuttoning her shirt. Not only that but she's also sweating intensely.

"Erm Hook are you alright?"
She doesn't answer and instead keeps staring forward with a panicked expression on her face.
"Okay. I'll leave you to it-"
As you try to move away however she reaches out and grabs you.

"It keeps shrinking. We're running out of air. Don't leave me alone Silver. Please!"

You can almost feel her hooks digging into your skin, her hook like fingers that is. It's doubtful she can even properly use her devil fruit right now. So you decide it's probably for the best if you get in there with her. It seems like your presence, or anyones presence really is helping her calm down somewhat as it gives her something to focus on. This also gives you a chance to take a closer look at Marcella. Her heart is beating like crazy.
"H-How?"

"Hmmmm?"

"How the f-fuck do you do it? How don't you feel fear? We are surrounded by the ocean. We could be crushed and drowned any second!"

"I do feel fear. I just don't fear for myself. If I die I die. That's that. But I don't think I should be afraid now."

"H-How? How can you say that? Y-You don't know how to tie your shoes half the time. How could you say nothing bad is gonna happen?"

"Hmmmmm."
You try your best to come up with an explanation but come up a little bit short. So instead you try to demonstrate things to her. Without any explanation you hold her hand and intertwine your fingers.
"Do you feel it?"

"F-Feel what?"

"Okay. Close your eyes."
Pulling her hand closer you put it on your chest to let her feel your pulse. Unlike hers your heart is beating calmly at a steady rhythm which she feels.
"Forget everything else. Just feel this."

Marcella does as you tell her to as you keep holding her hand. As she focuses her breathing starts to slow down a little, perhaps because she's starting to calm down thanks to the comfort of another or perhaps her heart is trying to match the rhythm of your own. Whatever the case may be it looks like for a moment she managed to forget about the entire weight of the Grand Line encroaching on her.

"Pheeeew. Thank you. I-I think I'm good."

"Cool. Now open your eyes."

As Marcellas eyelids rise she realizes that you did something while she wasn't paying attention. You shifted away a little.
"B-But how-"

"You still feel my heart don't you? Close your eyes again and listen. You'll hear everyones on the ship."

It looks like she's still skeptical or plain doesn't understand but against her better judgment she does as you tell her to again and she shudders.
"F-Fuck. Is this that... stuff you were practicing?"

"Yeap."

"It's not gonna break is it?"

"Nope. And if it does we'll kick the waters butt for trying!"

"H-Heh. Of course you would. Help me up would you? And... please don't tell anyone about this."

"Tell what?"

"Thanks Silver."

"No seriously, tell what? I don't get it."
>>
>>4929433
Classic Silver.
>>
>>4929433
CUTE
>>
After a few minutes Marcella manages to gather herself and you return to the deck with the others, leaving the interior of the ship to the weenies who belong there.
"Ah Marcy. Where have you been?"

"I was checking the map to see if it was any of your god damn business! Came up short though. Now here I am. So... where are we at?"

"Hmmmm. We're on our way to the underworld of the sea. If you look around you can see the lights dimming around us. That means we're in the twilight zone. Not all of the light reaches here and it's only going to get worse as we descend. Once we reach the midnight zone means no more light for us and that we reached the underworld."

"Why do you call it that?"

"Because it's how we imagine hell. Dark, cold and empty safe for the monsters. Speaking of which we should start paying attention now. This is the point where sea monsters should start popping up. And if you thought Sea Kings were scary wait till you see the ones here. This is where the big ones live."

Just as Murray said you start seeing less and less in the absence of light. On top of that you start feeling incredibly cold all of a sudden.
"ACHOO! Is anyone else cold or is it just me?"

Marcella puts her own jacket over you and looks at her own very visible breath.
"No. The temperature is dropping due to the lack of light. And since your body is warmer than ours it's affecting you more. HEY DIPSHITS! Get some coats out here! Oh and I guess make sure the meatshields downstairs don't turn into popsicles."

With chattering teeth you look out into the waters to observe the passing fish. You notice quite a few aquatic lifeforms that are much bigger than what you're used to. Some fish are even beginning to approach the size of sea kings. And they are supposedly only going to get bigger.
"S-Shouldn't we get some lights on?"

"Hmmmm. That's what I'm thinking about. It'd be nice to see anything. But there is a problem with that. Down in the underworld things keen senses to hunt prey and bio-luminescence due to the lack of light."

"Uuuuuh."

"They glow in the dark. If we turn on the lanterns we'll be ringing the dinner bell for every predator in the deep sea. If we don't we won't see the few that will still come after us. Doomed if we do, doomed if we don't."

"Let's not turn on the lights. I'll watch out for things."

"Yeah. That's probably the smart thing to do. I'd also suggest we stay as quiet as possible. Whisper if you must talk. Sound travels much better in water."

"Cool. That should make my hearing better as well!"

"As long as you can interpret underwater sounds that is."

Descending further down you kill all lights on the ship and tell everyone in the cargo to keep things to a minimum if they can help it. The temperature continues to drop steadily so you put on several layers of coats to protect yourself. Gu comes out from the kitchen with hot cocoa and takoyaki for everyone as he deemed the steaming balls to be a better snack in the cold than some raw fish. As the light finally dies out around you the darkness which became quite oppressive actually lifts a little as the life calling this hellish place its home makes its appearance. Gigantic glowing jellyfish the size of mountains, monstrous fish with jaws that could swallow entire ships and a plethora of other beasts that you can not see start swimming all around you. True to Murrays words many of them do indeed emit some sort of a glow. You'd think that this makes the animals susceptible to being eaten but some of the lesser creatures actually avoid bright lights as there is a good chance that it belongs to a bigger predator. However the true apex creatures care little for the possible threat these lights might pose.

"This is quite unlike anything I've ever seen-"
Angel observes.
"But it has a certain majesty to it. What are those giant structures?"

"You can make them out? Well those are the roots of the sunlight tree Eve. Many creatures make it their home."

"Then why don't the fishmen clear it out?"

"We depend on Eve even more than the animals. It's best to leave them be."

"Speaking of beasts Mister Murray-"
Ann also starts whispering.
"You speak of monsters constantly and while I do admit these creatures are freakish they aren't anything to be concerned about."

"Yeeeeah. I was wondering about that too. Usually there are a lot more of them around here. Must've picked a lucky time to descend. I'm not seeing any of the real troublemakers..."

"In that case could you tell us more about these creatures? Just so that we could recognize them if they do show up."

"Well since we're okay right now I suppose I could. The first thing to worry about is naturally Sea Kings and you all know how they look. Just imagine bigger. This is actually the place where the biggest ones live. The Calm Belt is just where they migrate for breeding. Well what else? Anything big with sharp teeth is a good candidate, if it looks like death itself chances are it's dangerous. Giant octopuses are also very bad. I've never seen one but Krakens are so enormous they'd make Greki look like a toy soldier. Other leviathans are also said to roam the deeps but funnily enough everyone who claims to have seen one was drunk, incoherent and or mad."

Some of the more faint hearted members of the crew are shaking in their boots by the mere possibility that such beasts are lurking out there. But the rest are making vague shaking gestures. Seeing how his warnings have fallen upon deaf ears Murray sighs.
"Alright alright. I'll stop now. And grab hold of something, we're going deeper."
You descend further at quite a fast pace which makes the ship almost feel like a roller coaster. But just as the ride gets interesting you tell Murray to pull out of the current and slow down. He has to do quite a wild maneuver to do so but he manages to get your ship out of the stream and makes her stop.
"What's wrong Silver?"

"Watch where you drive! We almost hit the sea floor!"

"What? Don't be ridiculous! We are no deeper than eight thousand meters! The floor is ten thousand meters deep!"

"Nuh-uh. We hit the bottom."

"Well I'll be... We really hit the bottom. How? Did I space out?"

"Erm. E-Everyone?"

"What is it Stitches?"

"Where did the lights go?"

Ignoring the floor for a moment you look around and realize that all the glowy animals have vanished leaving you in almost perfect darkness. The only reason you can even see each other at all is a faint light source. Which is slowly approaching you. Everyone gets read and Murray starts gazing into the abyss to see what's approaching you.
"Damn. That's an angler fish."

"Is that bad?"

"Yes Silver it is bad. These things are predatory. And judging by the light and how far it is this is a big one. Must've scared everything else away."

"Should we kill it?"

"Well it might be a good idea. Or we could just try to avoid it. Your call."

"Let's leave it alone. Don't feel like fighting fish right now."

"Aye aye. In that case we'll go around and wait for it to pass."

Jaws steers the ship away from the approaching fish and you sail past it. From the look of things it appears that the giant angler fish did not notice your presence as it simply went on its merry way. You all sigh with relief and return to seeking a more suitable current. But you must say the still visible light of the angler fish makes this place a lot more creepier than when it was just pitch black. Thankfully this little problem quickly gets solved as the light of the angler fish goes out.

"Phew. I was getting annoyed by that."

"Yeah! Finally the stupid fish turned its light off!"

The gears start turning in your head and you look behind the ship. There are no signs of the angler fish anywhere. If that wasn't enough you hear Greki speaking up at the front.
"Hey everyone? The floor just disappeared."

Everyone rushes to the side to gaze into the abyss. It's just as the giant said, in fact it's as Murray said. There is at least two thousand meters of emptiness below you. And still no signs of life.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W66TwxN0rLk

A deep bone shaking sound can be heard. None of you have the guts to look back at its source as you're all incredibly busy with getting the HELL OUT OF HERE. Murray catches a rather fast and violent current which takes you far away from here and makes you dive deep. As you slow down once more and your collective hearts stop beating in your throats you look at the fishman who seems to be just as confused as you are.
"WHAT WAS THAT?!"

"I... I don't know. Those are just old wives tales! They can't be real!"
All of you come to an agreement to not speak of that anymore, in fact you'll do your best to erase it from your minds as much as possible.

You decide NOT to spend any more time in the Underworld if you can help it and took off at max speed. Riding the currents you swam between and around the roots of the great tree until you reach the Red Line and the gargantuan hole in it. According to Murray this hole is the one that will let you cross into the New World as it will take you directly under the Red Line where Fishman Island is located. Not too long after you eagerly entered the tunnel you spotted a blinding line at the end of it. As you reach its end it feels like your eyes are about to burn out from the blazing radiance of the sun. It takes a while for your eyes to adjust to the new illumination but once it happens you behold one of the most majestic sights you've ever seen.
"WOOOOOOOW!"

"Everyone. Welcome to Fishman Island."

"I-It's so pretty!"

"How is it that there is this much light and warmth?"

"What did you think we lived in the cold dark? The great tree Eve collects the rays of the sun and sends it down to us through her roots. Her warmth and light are the reason why Fishman Island is inhabitable in the first place. Well, we could live without it. But I'd hardly call that living."

"Mister Murray this is majestic!"

"Heh. Just wait till you see it on the inside. Let's not waste any more time and get to it shall we?"
The Dauntless continues her approach of the great bubble in the middle of the cave.
"You see that? THAT is Fishman Island. The giant bubble is the same as the ones in Sabaody except much bigger. In fact we have similar bubble technology we just use it differently."

"Yeah yeah that's fine and dandy and all that crap. But come on Murray! You gotta give up the real goods! The Merfolk!"

"Sigh. As always you have the subtlety and grace of a bomb Marcy. Yes there will be merfolk. And don't worry. They are kind people. A bit naive but kind. You'll like them and most likely they'll like you. But we'll have to act a bit careful in there. I'll have to ask you to not cause too much trouble. At least for a little while."

You would like to promise Jaws that you'll be a good boy while you're here but as you look up you doubt you'd be able to keep that promise as several great shadows are cast on you and your ship.
"Hamo hamo hamo! What do we have here? Humans? Looks like the drought has ended boys!"

"Hamo hamo hamo! Lookie here boys! Looks like the drought has finally ended. And hoo boy what a prize did we get for our patience!"

The fishman riding a giant sea animal points at your ship and laughs. Despite him being quite cheerful right now it's doubtful he's here to have a nice little chat, given how you can feel his barely restrained violent desires. But you can't really observe them properly as Murray quickly snatches your fur coats and hides behind a barrel.
"Ssssshit!"

"Friend of yours?"

"Hammond? No. But that bootlicker would recognize me. Can't have that. And in that same vein, whatever you do don't kill him!"

"Why?"

"Because as much of a pushover he is his absence would be noticeable. If he disappears people will start looking. And we shouldn't attract too much attention just yet. So do what you want just don't make him disappear! Please!"

"Okay okay."
You walk down from the stern to the nose of the ship.
"Hi. My name is Silver."

"Hamo hamo hamo! Oh we know! You humans may all look alike but that mug I'd recognize anywhere! Y'see news of your exploits made their way down here and I gotta say, big fan! What you did up there was a work of pure art. It was very... inspirational!"

"Ooooh a fan! That's nice."

"I know right? Well my boss is also an... admirer of your work and he knew you'd make your way down here eventually. He also asked me very nicely that if I see you I bring you to him posthaste. So if you'd be so inclined please follow us."

You look to the right and see Jaws with several jackets wrapped around him and waving his arms around in protest. It's not like you were gonna do what some nobody says but it's good to have your opinion reinforced by someone.
"No thanks. I wanna go to Fishman Island and explore on my own."

"Hamo hamo hamo! Ya don't seem to understand what an honor this is friend. Usually we don't ask people to come nicely. Now I'm gonna ask one last time and if you still wanna be difficult it's business as usual. So please... follow us!"

You're not feeling particularly nice about that long neck boy over there. In fact his attitude is something that's pushing you in quite violent directions. But you suppose Jaws wouldn't like you teaching him a lesson and let's be honest if you gave him a little thrashing as a warning he might accidentally die and that would be no good.
"You know it really bothers me that you decided to piss me off. Now I'm going to be nice and give you a few seconds to do a 360 and walk away. If you're still here I'll start swinging."

"Hamo hamo hamo! You know I was almost hoping you'd decline. Now we can do this the fun way! Prepare the trawl net men!"

"Erm Boss Hammond?"

"What?"

"Why is his hand a skeleton?"

"Scuse me! What now?"
They look down at you and see that you're giving them rude gestures with a hand that is very boney indeed. They get unnerved just a little bit but that Hammond guy quickly takes the reins and focuses the doubtful fishmen.
"That just means we'll have an easier time taking in that cripple. Enough dawdling! Sea Beasts! GO!"
He kicks the big fish-beat thing in the side and it lets out a growl as he starts moving. So much for peaceful solutions. But as you place your prosthetic hand on your sword you see that the sea beasts they are riding stopped in place. If you weren't underwater right now those animals would surely be visibly sweating.
"HEY! Seabear! What are you doing? I said go!"

You smirk, realizing what's going on and draw Argent from its sheath to point it at the animals. For a split second you could see a strange purple smoke wafting around the blade.
"That's right! Come!"

The animals didn't need much more than that and turned tail to flee. As they swam away at maximum speed the fishmen riding them started to scream and shout profanities at their steeds. The others on the ship simply stared at this in disbelief.
"Wow. That haki thing sure is something."
Marcella observes.
"Letting us ignore chaff like that almost makes it bearable that Silver is somehow special..."

"Nay lass-"
Greki nudges her.
"You're wrong on two fronts. First the power of a conqueror is not something you're born with, he doesn't have that power because he's special. He has it because he is himself. And second, did you feel your skin shiver just now? That was not the power of kings. The beasts simply knew better. Instinct is a very useful thing when one wants to survive."

"Makes sense. The last thing I'd want to do is get on Silvers bad side."

"Scary thought isn't it?"

"No, he's fucking annoying that's what it is."

"Phew. Guess that's over with!"
You smile.

"I can't believe you could make them back off like that..."
Murray comes out from his hiding spot.

"To be fair I don't think those dummies would've run away. They didn't seem like the sharpest tools in the cookie jar. But their animals were smart. Man this makes me want a sea beast so bad!"

"You got your crabs already and you barely take care of them..."

"Hey! I play with them every day!"

"Keeping pets is more than just playing with them Silver. Anyway I think we wasted enough time. Their beasts may have been spooked but who knows how many lashes it takes for them to regain control over them. I'll take us to port."

"Okay!"

Murray steers the Dauntless towards the front entrance which looks like some sort of a weird mechanism glued onto the big bubble encasing the island. Given how you're underwater it's no surprise there isn't a lot of traffic around so you can just immediately head in. Everyone panics a little as the door shuts behind you but then you realize that the water in the metal tube starts draining and as it does the coating around your ship bursts. For the first time in hours you can taste fresh air and it tastes good indeed. The big seal in front of you opens up and your ship is released into Fishman Island proper. The light in here is even brighter than the one outside, almost as if you were on the surface so your eyes need to adjust to it for a little. As you get accustomed you continue making your way to the docks where a rather large group is waiting for you.

"Uh oh. Jaws?"

"Ammo Knights? There should be only a few people who'd check our ship but this is a whole squad! Did they up security in the last ten years?"

You see one of those knights signaling for you to stop and they begin talking to you through a voice amplifier den den mushi.
"Halt surface dwellers! By the orders of the Neptune Royal Family no outsiders are allowed into the Ryugu Kingdom without a thorough check!"

"WHY?"

"We've had an illegal entry a few hours ago. Please prepare to be boarded so we may conduct our search of your ship!"

"Uuuuuuh is this bad Jaws?"

"Erm... how many skeletons do we have in the closets? Lyda?"
Your little doctor starts sweating and hides behind Grekis massive body.

"OY! IF SOMEONE SO AND SO WANTS TO CHECK MY SHIP THEY CAN DO IT THEMSELVES!"

"Shhhhhh! Silver! Don't pick a FIGHT with the Royal Family for f-"

"That is exactly what's going to happen."

"WHAT?!"
"WHAT?!"

You look up at the sky where a black dot was visible and you realize that it is in fact growing. As it gets closer it becomes visible as a giant fish wearing a great bubble as a floatation device and carries a big ship around it. The giant fish floats over to you and from its carriage three rather imposing giant mermen come out. They too have bubbles around their waists which help them float rather than helplessly flop around like most mermen would. Though they look quite scary at first glance the image quickly shatters as one of them begins dancing in perpetuity while the other one is trying to harmonize. Only the middle one who is by far the largest of the three looks serious but not even he feels like he means trouble.

"My apologies. I'm Prince Fukaboshi, son of King Neptune and heir to the Ryugu Kingdom. These two are my brothers Ryuboshiu and Manboshi."

"Doremi!"

"Akamambo!"

"Are they okay?"

"It's just what they do. Anyway I'm sorry for the inconvenience but we'll need to check your vessel more thoroughly. We just had an illegal entry into the island so we are on high alert. Entering the kingdom without registration is strictly forbidden and we treat all intruders as if they are here with malicious intent."

"And what does that have to do with US?"
Marcella shouts at the prince.

"We can not allow any vessel enter or leave without a close examination until we find the perpetrators as you might be corroborators. I assure you this will only take a few minutes at most, after which you will be free to explore the island."

"Okay. Check away."

"Thank you."

The three mermen alongside their ammo knights start going through your stuff and they check every nook and cranny they can find. Not a container goes unchecked as they search for anything that might be illegal which becomes quite a problem as they go on. They don't even bat an eye at all the explosives and the tons of treasure in your cargo but they do raise an eyebrow when they open up Lydas closet and bodyparts fall out.

"I keep telling you to clean up in there! It's a mess!"

"S-Sorry Silver..."

"Care to explain this?"

"What are you a cop?"

"No but I have several with me if you didn't notice."

"Ah I forgot. What, you don't collect stuff?"

"You collect... bones?"

"Ye. They are useful. Look at this. How do you think I got this arm? If one gets broken it's way easier to just replace it with a new one. And my doctor likes to play puzzle with them."

"Well it is rather morbid. And most likely not within the boundaries of the law. But since you brought them from outside... Men tally the remains. I want them all cataloged."

"Whatthe- Why?"

"So we can check them when you leave. To see if you didn't add to your collection from our cemeteries."

"Aw poop."

The check continues and you almost get arrested when a squad of knights gets ambushed and downed by your crabs but thankfully the princes understand that they are just mere animals. So they let you off with a warning on the condition that you keep them locked up which is a shame because you wanted to take them for walkies but it'll have to wait. However problems begin to arise when Ryuboshi, the merman who's always singing shuts up for a moment.
"Shhhhh! Do you hear that? Sounds like someone is whimpering."

"Yeah. I hear it. Sounds like it's coming from over here."
Fukaboshi opens the door which you remember to be the area that you gave to the slaves to stay in. As the door swings open the prince sees that the room is rather crowded with the dozens of people in there. He raises an eyebrow and looks at you.
"And this is?"

"What is it not allowed to enter your island now?"

"It is. But this many people who you seem to be hiding from prying eyes? Makes it seem like you're trying to smuggle people in here, or worse. Men prepare to-"

As prince Fukaboshi raises his voice the sniveling slave child inside begins screaming louder and he buries his face in the chest of a grown up. But as he does his back gets exposed which the others quickly try to cover up in vain. The prince catches a glimpse of the mark on the boys back and the realization must feel like he was just hit with a cold shower.
"Human... what is your name exactly?"

"I'm Silver."

You hear the sound of a bead of sweat hitting the floorboard and see Fukaboshi visibly recoil a little. His eyes linger on you for a moment before they look back up at the slaves in your cargo hold. He sees that people from all walks of life are there. Men, women, children, the elderly and even his people the merfolk and fishmen can be found in there in pretty decent numbers. All slaves. Well, former slaves.
"Cavaliere Silver... Why have you come here?"

"I wanna go to the New World duh."

"And them?"

>They come with me

Maybe not in the same direction as us, but they'l be leaving which is what they will want to hear... I have a feeling that "would you guys mind" entails them staying down here which wouldn't be good for anyone.

Well it looks like the slaves will stay on your ship for a bit longer. That means they won't be immediately useful to you

We do need to get them a ship, and get them organized! And maybe pick up a new crewmember from their number since this would be an excellent chance to interact more with them!
And also, I suppose, see what they'd like.

Putting your arms behind your head you start to wonder out loud.
"I don't know. I kinda wanted to put them down somewhere safe but now I feel like taking them with me."

"So you're not planning on releasing them on the island?"

"I guess not."

He sighs with relief.
"That is good news. Such a large influx of people at once would disturb things for sure. And knowing my father he wouldn't be able to turn them down either. Anyway with that in mind I don't think this should be a problem. Just... make sure they keep themselves covered if you know what I mean."

"Thanks! You're very understanding Big Fish!"

"Hmph. Well we know a thing or two about slavery. While we are technically part of the World Government we don't care enough about their doctrines to report this incident. But in exchange we expect secrecy from you."

"Sure! Anyway we done here?"

"Hmmm. Yes I'd say we are. You don't appear to possess any contraband and we can safely rule you out as potential slavers. But we will be keeping an eye on you since you're still dangerous criminals. Sp stay of trouble and we won't have to become enemies. Understood?"

"Yeap!"

"Alright men we're done here! Let us resume our search! Oh and by the way Cavalier. Welcome to Fishman Island."

"THANKS!"

As the princes and their knights leave your ship alone you sigh with relief and get back to docking. As you finalize everything Murray comes up to you and wipes the sweat off his brows.
"I knew it was going to be rough but this is ridiculous. My heart almost stopped because I thought for a second that you're going to attack prince Fukaboshi. That would've been a bloody mess. Glad I was wrong."

"Nah he didn't feel like a bad guy. Also you didn't hide from him."

"Of course. I was a nobody. A member of the royal family wouldn't recognize me. And I think my presence on the ship contributed a little to how easily they let us off the hook."

"Murray-"
Angel speaks up.
"You've been acting very strange ever since we came here. What's wrong?"

"I'm just nervous Hagetaka, don't worry about me. I'll explain everything... and I'll ask you all a big favor down the line. But not yet. For now I must ask that you all wait patiently and don't cause any trouble. Don't pick a fight with the royal family or anyone else if they bump into you. If trouble comes just run away or grit your teeth. Please. It'll all make sense later I promise."

"Oh yeah and what do we get out of it Murray?"

"Hmmmmm. Very well Marcy. Everyone grab your swimsuits. I'm taking you all to Mermaid Cove."

"M-MERMAID COVE?!"
Your entire crew cried out as one.
>>
And that is where I must end as I ran out of time.
Next session we'll actually delve into Fishman Island a little bit, starting with a beach episode.
Also damn, Fukaboshi doesn't have many facial expressions beside "stoic" and "crying"

Anyway I hope you enjoyed yourselves.
Have a good night

Everyone who uses a bat in combat must be either super cool or super cool. No exceptions.

Also, what are the chances we can bullshit Epyon into our forms? I'm thinking a desperation move more or less, as having a constantly haki'd body (not exactly Gundanium, but what is in this world) has got to be a pain, along with maintaining sharp hearing and observation haki (in place of Zero and Epyon's prediction system), with our tail being held and haki'd, ready to burn at a moment's notice, a "heat rod" if you will.

Hi everyone! Just joined this board a few days ago and discovered this thread, fucking loving it. Is there any way for me to catch up quick besides reading the entirety of all previous threads? Is there some sort of recap or summary somewhere down the line? Thanks in advance, anons!

Side note: this quest has got me wanting to watch the anime again after... At least more than three years of absence. Last I left off, they beat Doffy and we're fighting some one billion Berri mammoth guy. Waddaya say, worth it to pick it up again?
>>
>>4938999
Welcome aboard mate, see you tomorrow!

A quick catchup without reading the previous threads? Not really, and you really should since Spooky does absolutely splendid work, especially with characterization.
But if you want a quick summary it would go like this:
"Strange child gallivants across the East Blue in search of an identity and to find his place in the world and finds new friends along the way... This, however, quickly goes out of hand as he has absolutely no issues what so ever with using violence to get what he wants."
One could go into further detail, but I'm a staunch believer in that there's a special little corner of hell reserved for those who spoil good stories.
Here's the archive: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive.html?searchall=West+Blue+Seadogs+

Thanks! Guess I'll just skim through the threads to find the QM's posts and skip over most of the discussion to make it somewhat feasible.

Nice to have you here. Sadly no. I don't do recaps because I'd rather put that time into advancing the story. Only real advice I could give is to check the archive and only read the actual updates. But even then you'd miss out on some glorious banter.

As for the anime? Well it depends. Toei is still atrocious when it comes to padding and it can actually alter some of the story elements. Like originally Luffy beat Hody and Caesar in one hit basically, in the anime not so much.
BUT! The source material is still amazing so it is worth it. Some may disagree but the two arcs after the big elephant are amazing in my opinion. And the anime becomes downright gorgeous in the Wano arc.
If you want to catch up you have two alternatives:
>One Pace
In short: Fans cut and edited the anime so it fits the manga better. Very good but the downside is that they are behind the show and some of the older stuff is not done. However Whole Cake Island is completely done so that's good
>The Manga
Self evident. Downside is more reading and sometimes the panels get too busy to make out what's exactly going on

But you do you

It takes a while for everyone to put on their bathing suits but once you managed to gather up the circus you took off towards the fabled Mermaid Cove. Naturally you've seen a mermaid once before but most of the others have not and even then you did not really have much of a time to interact with the mermaid so this is still very exciting for you. You tie your trunks and pick up Will on your shoulders as everyone takes off wearing their ridiculous swimsuits, except Murray who opted for a trench-coat looking thing instead. Ah yes, he truly is the smartest of you all. More contact with wet clothes means more fun.
"Alright. If I remember correctly Mermaid Cove is just over that coral reef. It's been a minute since I was here."

"This is so exciting Mister Murray! I can't believe I'll be able to meet actual merfolk for the first time. Oh god it's going to be embarrassing wearing this bikini!"

"Gyogyogyo! Don't worry about that Sister. You'll find that most mermaids have a particular distaste for wearing lots of clothing. At least the ones that visit the cove do."

"Great. Watersluts-"
Marcella grumbles.
"Also how come you're not wearing a swimsuit fishface? Could it be you're trying to shake us off?"

"That is exactly what I'm doing. Frankly the Cove doesn't excite me much and I got some important things to take care of. Need to catch up after being away for ten years."

"Uh-huh. Well you better not keep us in the dark for long or I'll have your nuts Murray! Also... when are you giving up the actual goods?"

"I wasn't planning on it. Also what are you talking about?"

"You know! Don't think you can gouge our eyes out with some shabby fishgirls! We wanna see the Mermaid Princess!"

"Mermaid Princess?"

"Yea Silver! You never heard of it before? Oh who am I kidding of course you didn't. The Mermaid Princess is the biggest eye-candy in the whole world, one that makes the Pirate Empress look like an old hag! They say if you see her once you'll be disgusted by all other women for the rest of your life! Now I may not swing that way but if half of what they say is true then she can make women change teams! Now THAT I wanna see! So Murray? Are the legends true?"

"First off, cut it out. Second that's disgusting Marcy. Do I have to remind you that the Mermaid Princess is fourteen years old? She was four when I left and that was ten years ago. And for the record I wouldn't know. It's not like you can just meet her, she's royalty. All I ever saw of her were images through a video den den mushi. She was a sweet kid. But after what happened to her I doubt she is as beautiful as they say. Grief can distort even the fairest faces. Anyway don't worry about that. We're here."

"WELCOME!"

Such a marvelous sight. A beach that looks like it's the result of the sea retreating to give way to it. Coral reefs and other aquatic flora as far as the eye can see and in their shade rest innumerable mermaids, ladies whose lover halves are those of fish. Everywhere the eye can see mermaids are swimming, sunbathing or are having fun. Yet they all stopped as soon as you all came in view. They greet you as one and they are already inviting you to join them. Will and Gu are already salivating and they rush off to jump in the waters with them. The girls linger for a moment but even they are blushing, Lyda especially. And when the mermen show up they also get practically dragged in the waters. Even Greki finds himself a rather large pool of warm water to soak himself in.

Only you and Hagetaka remain alongside Murray who looks like he's ready to depart on his own little adventure.
"Okay I'm off. I'll be back in an hour or two after surveying things. Don't cause any trouble."

"Do not worry Murray you can count on us."

"Thank you Hagetaka."

As Jaws departs you look at your huntress and give her a puzzled look.
"You're not hopping in?"

"No. This isn't all that different from my home so it's not that exciting. I may just go and swim a little on my own as practice."
She then walks away in her one piece swimsuit which ironically covers more of her body than her usual attire, leaving you all on your lonesome.

You look around the place in search of something fun to occupy yourself with and find several options. Will and Gu are currently playing ball with a group of mermaids and Greki is currently relaxing in his hot pool. Meanwhile the girls appear to be quite busy with the merfolk pampering them so they probably wouldn't welcome your intrusion. As you think about which group to pick though a mermaid swims up to the shore and beckons you to come closer to her.

>Go and play some beach ball with the boys
>Relax with the elderly giant for a while
>See what the mermaid wants with you
>Other?

After looking from left to right you point at yourself.
"Me?"

"Yeah. Come on over. I don't bite!"

Approaching the edge of dry land you crouch down so you're closer to the mermaid and look at her.
"Nice tail."

She chuckles.
"Thank you!"
Her black and white lower half pokes out of the water for you to get a better view of it.
"I'm Ishilly. And you?"

"My name is Silver."

"What's wrong Silver? You're the only one who didn't come in yet. Are you afraid of the water?"

"No. But I can't swim. I'm a hammer."

"Ah that's unfortunate. But don't worry. I'll take care of it!"
She extends her hand out of the water. You look around and see that Marcella, Lyda and Ann all entered the water and they are currently being held aloft by some merfolk. Even with the water sapping their strength they appear to be happy with their current situation. Then there is Angel who had to be fished out of the water by a mermaid because she forgot she can't swim no more and needs to be resuscitated. So it looks like these people are nice and you take her hand.
"That's it. Slowly-"
The first leg goes in without much trouble and it's followed by the second. But as soon as you slide off your butt and you submerge yourself the neck down your weakness to water rears its ugly head and you become quite numb. Thankfully Ishilly holds onto you and pulls you into a hug so your head remains above the water.

"W-what are you doing?"

"This is a neat little trick we have. See this? It's a bubbly coral."
She puts the device to your arm and presses the tip of it. A pair of bubbles form around your hands which she pulls onto both your arms. The bubbles are buoyant enough to keep your shoulders above the water at all times.
"See? They make excellent floaties! They have many uses beside that. Like this-"
She makes a third bubble and puts your head in it.
"Want to see what swimming with a mermaid feels like?"

She holds your hands and gently pulls you below the water. The increased strain from all that water surrounding your body almost makes you loose consciousness but you manage to hold on. So now you are below the dark water with the only thing in the world seemingly being the mermaid holding your hands. She asks if you're okay and you just give her an exhausted nod. She smiles and takes you for a swim. With your strength sapped and your senses dulled the only you feel are the thrill of swimming at amazing speeds and the warm, tender touch of the mermaid taking you for a ride. It's strangely nice, like there is only the two of you in the entire world. You're not familiar with this sensation but it is quite nice.

"Well how is it?"

"E-Eh. Heh. Nice."

She comes to a halt and begins spinning around with you as if dancing. As she dances with you she ends up touching your back. She doesn't appear to be too unnerved by the presence of the scars on your back, rather she becomes focused on the tattoos covering them.
"You know we have a few places where you could add to that ink of yours. Turn your whole back into a work of art!"

"That... sounds... cool."

"Oh dear. I didn't realize it would be this bad. Maybe we should go back to the surface?"
Rather than waiting for your answer the mermaid takes you back up but this time she takes things slow. As you resurface she takes the bubble off your head and flips you around so you can float atop the waters surface on your back.
"Are you feeling better?"

"A little. Thanks!"
Tilting your head to the side a little you look at the others all of whom have been enraptured by the deep sea divas. Even Greki seems to be enjoying the attention of the ladies.
"You guys are having fun?"

"Best. Decision. Of. Our. Lives!"
Marcella doesn't answer you rather she seems to be muttering this to herself repeatedly. Even her nose is bleeding while she's doing this, though none of the merfolk seem to mind. Indeed they appear to be quite joyful that they have such an effect on others.
"Hey! When we quit the pirate business we should totally settle down here!"

"Quit?"

As you're wondering what Hook means by that Ishilly starts guiding you to the surface.
"I think that's enough excitement for now, what do you say?"
Ishilly guides you back to land where she actually crawls out of the water. Given her lack of legs this looks rather funny but she doesn't appear to be as immobile as you thought, especially since you can see other mermaids using those bubble corals to float on the air.
"There we go. Would you mind applying some lotion on me? I'll do you in return!"

You cover each other in some sunscreen and bask in the "sun" until Hagetaka comes up to you.
"Silver. May I have a talk?"

"I'll just leave the two of you alone then. Give you some privacy. But if you need anything just call cutie!"

As the mermaid goes back in the water Angel sits down next to you.
"It's quite idyllic."

"But you don't like it."

"No. You can sense it don't you? Their animosity. They hide it well but they definitely despise us. Does that not bother you?"

>Nope! They are nice!

"As long as they don't do anything I don't care. But be ready if they try anything."

"Understood."

While you do notice that underneath all that pleasantness there is a distinct feeling of distaste coming from most if not all of the merfolk. But it's not like an outright hatred type of thing, more like they are going to give you strange looks behind your backs but that's it. However as long as they don't act on those feelings you are perfectly okay with letting them be. It's a free country after all. So you decide to ignore that until it becomes relevant and simply enjoy the moment at the beach.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uY9g3Oq5FZw

Your friends eventually get hungry and gather up some materials for a kickass fire over which Gu would make everyone some barbecue. The mermaids seemingly love the idea and dive deep underwater to bring you various types of sealife. Apparently they themselves don't eat meat or fish of any kind other than shellfish but they are okay with giving you some alongside some veggies. The feast itself lasts over an hour as you continue to shovel fishes into your mouth one after another.

"Hmmmmmm! I've never tasted anything like this before! What's your secret?"
One mermaid moans as Toxin continues flipping fishes on the grill.

"The poison of the pufferfish I asked from you. I thought I'd give you something special for telling me about the islands cuisine."

"P-Poison?"

"Don't worry! Just eat!"
You slap the mermaid on the shoulder as you eat some crabs whole.

After you're done eating you ask the mermaids how those bubbles of theirs work and it's very interesting. Apparently they can just wear these bubble belts and if they pump more air into them they can lift you up. So you get a funny idea and jam one of the corals into the belt of Ishilly and inflate it against her will. She becomes scared as she lifts up but you ensure her that it's okay as you transform into a small bat.
"Now it's my turn to show you something!"

Pinching her bubble you start flying around with her at your top speed which isn't that high in your regular bat form but it's still enough to give her a thrill. Her fear gets replaced with joy and she starts asking you to go faster at which point the other mermaids and even some of your friends join you in the sky for a little race.
>>
Got some business to take care of for a few minutes
>>
But as sad as that is you can not keep this up forever as others eventually get tired or bored of the game so you land back down and get some rest. The mermaids however don't seem to be too upset about being drained, quite the opposite in fact.
"We haven't had quite so much fun in a long time! Thank you!"

"No problem!"
You smile.

Things continue to mellow down with most people either retreating to the shades or going out for some tanning into the sun. You chose the former because sleeping with your pet crab sounds lovely right now and you have a pleasant dream of having a house float on top of the sea where you could just go out and go for a swim any time you want. Sadly that would never work thanks to your Devil Fruit ability. Buuuut nobody says you couldn't ask Stitches to remove it from you. And it's not like you don't already have a home on the waves but whatever. Sadly the dream gets cut short as someone knocks on your forehead.

"Are you awake?"
Jaws looks down at you.

"Mmmmmmm. That was a pleasant dream-"

"Sorry. Anyway did you have fun?"

"Yup. Fishman Island sure is fun!"

"And what if I told you there are even better places out there?"

"Go on..."

"I left a note for the others when they wake up. In the mean time we can go ahead and get there before any of them."

You rub your eyes clear of gunk and follow your fishy friend. Murray leads you away from the shore to proper civilization. At first glance the place does not appear to be too big but as you listen closely you realize that this is merely the upmost layer of the place and about 90% of the city lies below your feet and the layers are most likely connected by waterways. This might be the biggest city you've been to yet.
"Welcome to Gyoverly Hills. The shiniest part of Fish-man Island."

"Whew! Pretty!"

"You'll find most shops and various other establishments here. This is also the most expensive place to live in. Anyway we're going somewhere special so I must ask you to be on your best behavior."

"Wait a minute... we're not here for fun! We're here for business! You lied to me!"

The place looks like a small palace crossed with a circus tent, which is right up your alley. Naturally there are sea shell and coral looking buildings everywhere but that doesn't even surprise you anymore. Inside you are greeted by, surprise, more mermaids.
"Welcome Master! How may we serve you?"

"I'd like to have a meeting with the madam."

"I'm terribly sorry but Madam Shyarly does not accept guests-"

"We'll wait. I'll have a coffee, black. The boy can't get anything with caffeine in it."

"N-No sir. Madam Shyarly does not accept guests. Period. I'm not sure where you're from but she stopped her fortuneteller business a long time ago."

"Hmmmm. She did? Well it's not like I came here for a reading anyway. I just want to meet with her. Please tell her the eel came back to repay his debt to her. Can you tell her at least that much?"

The maid caves in and retreats into the building. You pass the time by drinking some hot chocolate in the café. Eventually she comes back with the news that madam would see you and she leads you inside where the first thing you notice is a giant tailfin.
"Hoh! Beeg!"

"Well well well. I never expected to see you here again. I wonder what convinced you that this would be a good idea."

"It's good to see you Madam Shyarly. Time may not spare anyone but it only seems to amplify your beauty."

"Save the compliments boy. Why are you here? Did you have your fun upstairs? Or did you simply get tired of living?"

"Neither. All I do now is follow his lead-"
Murray shoves you forward.

"Erm. Hi!"

"Hello."

"Madam Shyarly this is Captain Silver. Silver, Madam Shyarly. She's the owner of the café and the greatest soothsayer in the world. Her visions of the future are always 100% accurate. She even predicted the birth of the Mermaid Princess when she was but a child."

You look at the huge mermaid sitting on her bubble and smoking her pipe. She's incredibly hard to read, the only thing you're sure of is that she's gauging you just as much as you're trying to do her. It also doesn't help that she's looking kinda scary. But since you can't really judge her character you might as well ask some questions from her.

>Seeing the future? That sounds dumb
>Are you the friend of Jaws?
>How do mermaids poop?
>Other?
>>
>>4940845
>Are you the friend of Jaws?

We're not interested in the future, mermaids, probably(?), poop like everyone else, and honestly we're only here because Murray asked us to be.

This seems like the only thing Silver would honestly ask of her.

>How do mermaids poop?

Our little murderer is just wholesomeness himself, isn't he?

>>4940845
>What's your problem with jaws?
Because I think even Silver might pick up context clues such as "are you tired of living?" to realize that, no, no she isn't a friend.

Totally not like Goofy at all.

You look at Murray then back at her.
"You're a friend of Jaws? Then why are you mad at him?"

She blows out a puff of smoke and looks at your first mate.
"Are you going to tell him or should I?"

"No need Shyarly. I will. You see Silver I... may have done some things. Very, very stupid things. And I'll tell all of it soon but I'd rather not waste the madams precious time with that right now. So all I'm going to say is that I made a big mistake, endangered a lot of people and she's the one who helped me out of it. If it weren't for her I wouldn't be here right now."

"Yes. Your friend caused a lot of problems for a lot of people. It cost me quite a lot to smuggle him out of the kingdom. And if anyone figured out I aided him they would've come for me. And now he came back, putting all that to waste. Tell me, was that really necessary?"

"Yes Madam. I came to pay back my debt and to make things right."
Murray takes out a suitcase which is full of money.

"Keep your money eel boy. The issue is not with the money but with everyone you endanger with your presence. Besides I think you'll need it more."

But Murray simply puts down the case and steps away from it.
"It's not an offer Madam. I meant it when I said I'm repaying my debt. All of it."

"What do you mean?"

"You know well what I mean. But I'm going to need your help Madam Shyarly. You're the only one with the necessary resources that I know and trust."

"After going through all that trouble and saying you're here to repay your debt you want to be indebted to me again? If I didn't know any better I'd think you have something for being humiliated. But very well. Ask."

"I need to find two people. And I'm sure you know well where they are. I need to know where the Boss and my brother are."

Shyarlys eyes become focused and her pupils shrink. It's like you're staring down a very hungry and VERY angry shark.
"You've got some nerve! Even if I knew where he was you think I'd betray Jinbe like that? And not to mention your brother. Do you think he'd want anything to do with you?"

"You mean he's not here..."

"No. He left the café not long after you left and started working elsewhere to make ends meet without you."
>>
>>4940958
I wonder what fish Jaw's brother is? Fishman genetics are weird.
>>
>>4940988
Twelve bucks, goblin shark.

As the madam and Murray have their little talk you finally have enough and stomp your foot to get the big mermaids attention.
"HEY! I don't care if you're big or a shark! If you don't stop bullying Jaws I'll kick your butt until you can't even sit on bubbles!"

"Huh?"
She turns to glare at you.
"You? Who do you think you are? His pet? His owner? What makes you think you have a say in this matter?"

"I'm his Captain! If you got a problem with him you got a problem with me!"

You remain steadfast as you stare down Shyarly. She keeps up her intense aura for a while until she relaxes and starts lounging on her bubble again.
"It appears you made quite a fierce friend upstairs Murray."

"Friends. There are a few of us."

"Not enough I'm afraid."
The air in the room changes quite a bit as Shyarly becomes much more amicable.
"But something tells me you won't change your mind about this no matter what I may say. Seems like your time away from this place hardened you quite a bit."
Madam Shyarly then shifts to look at you.
"Boy, I have a question for you. Answer me and I'll give Murray what he wants."

"Okay."

"If someone wanted to hurt Murray over there would you kill them for it?"

"Yes."

"Even if it meant you'd make things worse for everyone else?"

"You said one question."

"Just answer..."

>Yeah, what do I care?
>How is beating a bad guy making things worse? You're dumb
>I don't know. I guess not?
>Other?
>>
>>4941021
>Yeah, what do I care?
Our crew comes before everything. We'd sacrifice an island, probably the world as well, if it means our people make it out safe and healthy.
>>
>>4941021
>Yeah, what do I care?

I seem to remember that this exact scenario has already played out: when Marcella got stabbed by Cooper's psycho brother and the islanders complaining about us leaving them defenseless afterwards.
>>
>>4941021
>>How is beating a bad guy making things worse? You're dumb

>If things get worse after beating a bad guy then you haven't beat up enough of the bad guys. Just keep beating them up until things get better, duh.

Jeez lady it's like you never committed a warcrime against the government before.
>>
>>4941027
We left those guys better off. That kid was going around killing everyone, if a pirate crew didn't show up one day I guarantee he'd start killing the citizens.

I think we also let them fly our flag too, so they should be fine. Probably.
>>
>>4941032
I don't remember us letting them have our flag, the not-aztek/mayans we did. But the islanders themselves we kind of just told "You're not my problem. Deal with it yourself"
>>
>>4941021
>No matter how bad it gets, we'll get through it together. And if we don't, then we'll die together.
>>
>>4941037
Ah yea, that's right. Whatever, not really our problem anymore. At least we tried to keep the town from getting destroyed during that fight.
Some people just don't know how to be content.

"Yeah! What do I care? If things get worse after beating a bad guy then you haven't beat up enough of the bad guys. Just keep beating them up until things get better, duh."

"Your friend appears to be quite simple."

"Gyogyogyo! You don't know the half of it! But make no mistake madam. A hammer is quite an effective tool. Especially if you know where to hit with it."

"Sigh. I sure hope you know what you're doing. Here, these are the locations of the two you requested. But only open the envelope in private. Wouldn't want our friends to have any uninvited guests now would we?"

"Thank you madam. I won't let you down."

"Good. Hmmm. It appears your friends are here. Make sure you tip the girls fairly..."

Murray bows before the big lady and pushes you out of her room. You don't understand what's up with him but he assures you that he'll explain everything. As you catch up with the others, except Greki, you move to a VIP room and start drinking with the others.
"Thank you for coming-"

"W-Well you did invite us..."

"Is something wrong Mister Murray?"

"No. Just a bit flustered is all. Please order another round everyone. I'm afraid this is going to be a long one. It's about time I explained why I left my home ten years ago. You could say it all started with the owner of this establishment Madam Shyarly, or rather her brother. But even that isn't entirely true. His name was Arlong and he used to be a member of the Sun Pirates-"

"JIMBO?!"

"Yes. They used to be comrades. The Sun Pirates were originally made by Fisher Tiger and its members were either all slaves freed by Tiger or people who believed in his cause and joined him. They all wore a Sun brand on their person. It served to hide the Dragon mark of the former slaves and to make it impossible to distinguish them from the free people in the crew. But anyway, as you can imagine Tai had many followers who joined him for different reasons. Some did it out of respect, some genuinely believed what they were doing is right and some more simply entered the crew because they hated humans. Guess which one Arlong belonged to... He was a man whose hatred of humans ran deep. And he made damn sure to spread that idea to the younger generations. My generation."

"Oy Murray. If this is going where I'm going-"

"Let me finish Marcy."

"I grew up in the Fish-man District. The district we're in right now is Gyoverly Hills, the highest one. As you descend from this point the waters get darker and colder since the vertical city doesn't let light go down that far. Fish-man District is at the very bottom. The only thing that made it marginally better than living out in the ocean is shelter but thanks to the neighbors that was a moot point. Crime is rampant down there as poverty is great and there are few ways to make a living. There used to be an orphanage down there where kids from all spheres of life ended up whether their parents simply died or were enslaved. Me and my twin brother ended up there when our parents died in an accident. And that's where I... made some friends."

You look at Murray as he begins to clutch his shoulder, as if he's trying to reach his back.
"You okay?"

"Yeah. Just hard to talk about it is all. There was this "club" if you'd call it that. Arlongs fan club lead by a kid named Hody Jones. He and his friends loved Arlong and his stories and Arlong loved telling his stories so he came often, alongside a few others. At first I didn't really like his stories as the ones told by his friend Hatchan were more interesting."

"Wait. Hachi? The octopus? I think I met him in Sabaody!"

"WHAT? YOU MET HACHI? Erm we'll need to discuss that later. Anyway, me being the little shit that I was I did not want to be left out so I tagged along with Hody and his gang, listening to Arlongs stories, shadowing them wherever they went. Until I stopped tagging along and became an actual member. I was always the runt of the group but still. And when you're told day after day after day that you should hate... you learn how to do it. And that's what I did. It was harmless at first, just bully those that didn't hate as hard as we did, because they stepped out of line. But as the years passed things kept escalating and I was happily setting stores on fire just because the owner served a human once."

"And that's the mark on your back. A gang sign."
Hook nods.

"Yes. It was Hodys doodle originally. He wanted it to be just like Arlongs tattoo but better. His "dream" if you could call it that was to grow up big and strong to follow Arlong and become his right hand man one day."
Murray smiled.
"But I guess that did not work out for him quite well. You see someone beat his idol recently. A human, you might've heard of him. Monkey D. Luffy."

"And now he wants revenge, correct?"

"No Hagetaka. I'm afraid not. You see you think too much of him. Hody never cared about Arlong, he only cared about what he represented. And now that he was proven to be weak it just means he'll have to take over. And without anything to look forward to I think he's just about ready to explode right now. I'd give him two years tops before he'd unleash all his hatred."

"But Mister Murray... how did you... get out?"

"Well, even as a kid I was somewhat of a... degenerate."
Jaws is now rubbing his arms in shame.
"One day when I came to Gyoverly Hills to get some sunshine I uh, I bumped into someone. A human girl. More accurately she bumped into me and I almost roared her head off for being a filthy human. But before I could open my mouth I realized that she could not see. She got up from the ground and gave me a heartfelt apology. I could not respond to that. She was the daughter of a trader who wanted to go to the New World to make his fortune. And since she was lost and alone she asked me for help, me. Being the sad weakling that I am I couldn't resist. I still remember that day vividly even though all we did was go from one store to the next. And then when the day was over she asked me if she could touch my face. Do you have any idea what that was like? Being the fat kid that everyone in his friend group mocked and having this human girl say that I'm pretty after touching my face? I was enraptured. And confused."

"Jaws has a girlfriend~"

"Shut. Thefuck. Up Silver! This is serious! Anyway that alone would not have been enough for me to leave. But then... then the lynching began a few days later. Ten years ago the queen of the country was assassinated by a human. Naturally that meant every human on the island was in grave danger. And I knew that. So I went to make sure she could get off the island safely. But in doing so I had to break a few faces which would not sit well with my "friends" from back then. The only thing I could do at that point was go into exile, to leave the island never to return. Lady Shyarly helped me with that. Fast forward ten years and... here we are."

"Typical. Couldn't stop lusting after human women. And look where that got you. On the ship of Captain Silver, as one of the Thirteen Supernovas. You sure you're supposed to be sad?"

"Fuck you too Omukade. But yes. That is why I left. And why I want to wreak some havoc! I want to make amends and purge this rot from my home! But only if you're willing to help me."
None of them say a word. For all of them know that decision is ultimately up to one person.

You slam down your hot cocoa with a drink.
"Then let's make some chaos!"
>>
And that's where I'll be ending things.
Have a good night!

>>4941162
Hey spooks, finally got caught up with this again after not visiting 4chan for like half a year, do you think Hagetaka could make some nice sharp obsidian claws for our prosthetic? It might not have the kind of shape where that would do anything but it should be useful both for combat and stuff like climbing.

Captcha: O NO OP
No I think OP is doing pretty well
>>
>>4941821
It's certainly an interesting idea. Maybe obsidian nails of sort? Though that sounds like something you'd accidentally hurt someone with real bad.
But there is potential there. I'll think about it
>>
Alright! I'm feeling better and ready to continue. So let's pick Wednesday for our next scheduled run
However before that I have a question for you all. It feels like this segment has been a bit too railroady for my taste and I feel like that won't change if I'm gonna do all the stuff I prepped. So I ask you what would you like to achieve or do on Fishman Island aside to obvious so that I may alleviate this problem
>>
>>4942920
Did Fishman Island only build that big factory after Big Mom claimed it as her territory, or was it used for something else before that?
I guess what I'm asking is there anything that they produce or specialize in that you can't really get/do anywhere else.
>>
>>4942920
I want to spread silver's name far and wide, obviously.
I'd also like to get a ship made, to house our new friends... and maybe improve greki's raft? Get a roof over his head, you know.

Also, tattoos for all the former slaves, to cover up their brands. Something silver-related, if not our jolly roger itself.
Maybe get a long-range scope made for parley, so we can do some sniping?

Do they have dials down here? I can imagine they'd find a lot of them as they fall down from the surface.
And lots of haki practice! Silver seems like an observation god and i think it's going to be important for his fighting style in the future.
Maybe Sharley is good with it, too?

Oh! And we should find someone who's skilled in fish-man karate to help teach us! We've been slacking on that hard, i think.
Silver's style is made up of hasshoken and fishman karate, so we need to practice and get better at both of them to improve.
Work on the fundamentals, you know?
>>
>>4942983
I'd assume so. It only makes sense that they produced high quality sweets already, otherwise what reason would Linlin have to claiming it? Territory? It's pretty far for from her domain for that

>>4942986
Yeah those sound good.
I too want to cover the slave marks up with something, just trying to find the symbol that's just right

>training
yes, absolutely

>scope
eeeeh? it'd only be for style points really since Silver now has his minds eye unlocked
>>
>>4942920
Yea I guess what the other anon said is good.
I suppose training is pretty important since we won't get two years dedicated to it, we should try to sneak some in wherever we can when we're not fighting or injured from fighting.
>>
>>4942991
I would like to see Gu wind up futtzing with the super drug the Fishmen have, that would be cool.

Also in line with training and working on the fundementals, Swordsmanship, I don't if Fishman Island would be the appropriate place for it, but I would really like to see an opportunity for Silver to actually learn how to swing his sword.
>>
>>4943079
On the one hand, yea I can see that: On the other it's basically just another flavour of powerup so it'd overlap with the hero water he already worked with. Much rather have him go wild with all the various deep sea monster-poisons, potentially them being cursed by Greki just because it wasn't horrifying enough.

As far as ourselves, I'd rather keep it character focused. Yes Silver is reminded that he simply isn't good enough every time he tries to use his hand or his lack of vision gets bothersome, but let that stew a little when we have such a great opportunity to interact with just not our own crew, but the freed slaves and generally drink in the reaction the world has to our actions.
>>
>>4942920
The big capstone? I'd like to end up with a crewmember and I think you've laid pretty decent groundwork with Devil Diaz and Pascia, one joining the crew and the other becoming the captain of the freed slaves if we do follow through on that course of action... Tho obviously I wouldn't think anyone would mind if you have other characters in mind/to be introduced.

A chance to meet Jimbe again would be nice and the opportunity to call Hody a scaredy cat-fish to staying down here instead of *doing* something would be to good to pass up.

Not everything has to be a combat encounter to overcome, quite the opposite. Especially when we just did some *major* shit and had Marcella and the rest tell us how Silver can't just be a weapon if he wants to be a Captain.

"T-Thank you everyone!"
Murray is on the verge of tears after hearing your answer.

"Alright! Let's go and kick some butts!"
You jump up from the table and start running but Jaws grabs you by the collar so you end up jogging in place.

"Hold your horses Silver! We don't want to start a barfight. Yet."

"Come on uncle! What's wrong with our usual ultra violence? It worked every time so far!"

"First off William I'm very concerned about what you just said and we'll need to talk about that, but second while Hody is the one we must remove he isn't the actual problem. If we just go there and beat them up people will see that as just another example of surface dwellers abusing fish-men. And in that case it'll be only a matter of time before another Hody shows up."

"So? We just beat them up as well!"

"Really Silver? So you'd stay here and keep whacking people that pop up instead of continuing your adventure?"

"Well when you put it like that..."

"See? But that's the beauty of it. If we're smart about it then we only have to beat them up properly, once."

"And just how do you figure we do that?"

"Simple Marcy. I have a plan."

"Here we go-"

"But it needs quite a lot of setup. And it's not like we're in any rush. So just enjoy yourselves for a while now, stay out of trouble and the usual. And erm, make sure you don't really go lower than this level. Gyoverly Hills is by far the safest place. You could check out a level or two lower just don't go below that. We don't want to attract too much attention quite yet. As for me-"
Murray takes out the slip of paper Shyarly gave him.
"I got some unfinished business to take care of."

"I'll come with!"

"Hmmmmm? Alright Silver."

After that you spent some more time in the mermaid café with some of your crewmembers salivating over the waitresses. But once you had your fill you paid your tabs and left the establishment. While the others returned to the ship for some much needed rest you tagged along with Murray on his little journey. You-

You decided collectively that it'd be best if you visited his brother first. After all family is more important than some blue chump who can't even finish off two nearly dead guys. Most of the others decided not to come since this is quite a personal matter and because the island still has much in store for them. Murray warns them that if they remain they should really watch out for their purses since the prices here are killer. But two members of your crew decided to tag along, namely Ann and Will.

"So why are you guys coming exactly?"

"Oh I just thought we could use some fresh air after being locked up for a few hours, surrounded by nothing but the abyss. And definitely not because I can clearly see Mister Murray sweating already at the thought of meeting his family."

"T-Thank you sister I appreciate it."

"Hmmmm. And you Bullseye?"

"I just think this place looks cool and wanna see more."

It's as good a reason as any. And by the looks of it he's going to get even more entertainment than he was expecting as you find a group of children kicking a ball around in an empty park. And you mainly notice it because one of them carelessly kicked their ball in your direction.

"MISTER WATCH OUT!"
TOK
The ball hits you square on the head. The children quickly run up to you and start apologizing immediately.
"Oh we're so sorry!"

"Please don't be mad!"
You hold the ball in your hand and look at Will who seems too intrigued by the looks of the fishman children.

"Wanna go play with them?"

"H-Huh? Me?"

"Come on. I see you eyeing them!"

"W-Well maybe?"

"Here."

You hand over the ball to Will who gives you a wide eyed smile and holds the precious sphere over his head as he runs up to the other kids.
"Can I play too?"

"Sure!"

The fish boys and girls don't seem to mind little Bullseye joining them which Murray does comment on.
"Good. It's refreshing to see that the next generation still has hope."

"What do you mean?"

"When you expose someone to anger, they learn to hate. These kids are still young and did not have adequate time to learn their lessons. Maybe they could still learn a different one."

Their game of soccer progresses well with neither teams really having an advantage over the other so usually when one side scores a goal the other does shortly after. But there is a wild card in the mix, Will. His time on the Dauntless and within your company shows as he's learned how to move faster, better than the other children of his age. His combat training is paying off so much that he can dodge and weave with the ball between the others. Unfortunately his prowess is making the other, bigger boys jealous especially since them being fish-men means they should be ten times better than him. And a jealous boy is a cruel boy.

"Move it shorty!"
Throwing all sportsmanship and fun aside one of the biggest of the bunch ignores playing completely and tries to tackle Will. Unfortunately for him your little sniper sees his advance coming a mile away and with deft footwork manages to make the chunky fish-boy trip on his own legs. He falls face first on the ground as Will scores a goal and begins crying.
"Owwwww! My knee! Y-You kicked me!"

"Nuh-uh."

"Yes you did!"

"No I didn't."

As you start seeing people peek out their windows Jaws moves in to defuse the situation.
"Alright that's enough you two! You tried tripping a human and blame him when you fall on your own? You shouldn't blame others for your own mistakes!"

"Mister Murray I don't think shouting is going to achieve anything. Please step aside!"
Ann walks up to the little boy and looks at his scraped, bleeding knee.
"Oh my that looks rather nasty. You're a very brave boy for not screaming right now!"
That's an obvious lie but it seems to work as she pats the boy on the head.
"There there. Now here's a bandaid for you. Which one would you like? The heart or skull patterned one? I'm sorry I don't have any other but these are the only ones my boys accept."

"I like the heart ones because they are pretty-"
You speak up.
>>
"There! All better now! And remember to be careful next time! Nobody wants to see you hurt!"

The boy blushes as Ann lets go of him and he returns to his fellows. Meanwhile Murray is busy getting a hold of Will who's grinning from ear to ear.
"Okay Will that's enough. You really shouldn't just flex on other kids like that."

"Why not?"

"Yeah Jaws why not? Let the boy have some fun! He earned it!"

"YOU are the LAST person who gets to decide what a kid should and shouldn't do! Since you require near constant supervision yourself! Anyway we better get going before people give us too many uncomfortable looks. Nice job defusing that by the way Sister."

"Oh it was my pleasure!"

You swiftly bail out of there and return to the winding streets paved with corals and sea shells, following vague instructions left by Madam Shyarly which should lead you right to Murrays brother. After a bit of searching you apparently find where you're meant to go, which is down a few levels.
"Alright. This should be it. I admit I was never familiar with these parts. I usually went between Fish-man District and Gyoverly Hills and that's it. These middle ones I've never been in much."

"Does that mean your brother is poor?"

"Erm hard to say. He's not living on the highest level that's for sure. But we're still above the middle levels. There's still plenty of light and it's only a bit colder here so... tough to tell. Alright, now all I need to do is knock. Knock... Fuck."
Murray starts sweating bullets as his knuckles hover just in front of the door. He seems very nervous about the whole thing.
"Erm maybe you do it! L-Let it be a surprise that I'm here!"

>Okay (Knock)
>No. Stop being a weenie and do it!

Looking at Jaws and how he's clearly shaken your reaction is obvious. Two slaps with both sides of your still fleshy hand are your answer alongside a stern talking to.
"Remember the rules of the Dauntless Jaws? No weenies! Well maybe you don't because it's only now old but it's still very important! Now get your butt out there and do it! Because if you don't that means you don't really want it!"

"Gulp. Y-Yes captain."
Murray takes a deep breath and after a few brief moments gathers his courage to knock on the door. To your shock an answer almost immediately comes from the other side.

"Oh for the-"
Looks like he heard your shouting just now.
"Go away! I don't want to buy anything!"

"I erm, I'm not here to sell anything."

"That voice."
You hear the locks of the door being undone and it opening just slightly. A single eye can be seen, looking, judging.
"You..."
And then the door slams shut.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZQXNZw8Dns

"Eli! Please!"
Murray is now hammering on the door.
"I just want to talk!"

"I don't care Murray! You touch my property one more time and I'm calling the Ammo Knights! Now get out!"

"Eli..."
Jaws hit the door with his forehead.
"I'm so sorry Eli. Please just let me-"

"Sorry? You think a simple sorry is going to cut it after what you did? Ten years Murray! For ten years I had to make ends meet without you! Ten years that I had to swallow everything because of what YOU did! You have no idea what it was like living here, alone with only your "FRIENDS" keeping me company! So no! I don't care about your apology or whatever you want! I want nothing to do with you Brother!"

"I... I understand. I just... no. You're right. Let's go everyone. This was a mistake. But Eli... please take this."
Jaws pulls out a suitcase from under his shroud and places it before the door.
"Hate me. Despise me. But please take it."

The door opens up slowly and you see a merman with shaggy black hair and the lower body of an electric eel float out. He takes one look at the case before opening it and scowling. Filled with anger and hate he throws the whole thing back at Jaws.
"GET OUT! GET OUT RIGHT NOW! You think I want your money? Your charity? I'd rather starve than accept a single belly from you! NO! I won't give you the satisfaction! So GET. OUT!"

"Hey-"
You step up to the merman as Murray is picking up the bills one by one while struggling to hold back his tears.
"Stop being mean."

"Hmmmm? And you are?"

"I'm Silver."
>>
"Typical. You brought a whole crowd so I'd embarrass myself huh?"

"N-No I-"

"Well it doesn't matter now."
The brother sighs.
"Fine. Now that I made an ass of myself I guess I have no choice. Come on in. You too Murray. I'll treat you to tea then you get the hell out of here."

"Sheesh. Who peed in your cereal?"

"He did."
Eli answers as he puts on a kettle to boil some water.
"So who are you people? His pets? Or his he yours?"

"He's my captain Eli. I'm a pirate now."

"Pirate huh? You mean one of those surface criminals? And you wanted to give me your dirty money?"

"If it makes it any better we don't steal from regular people."

"It really doesn't. It really pisses me off that you think you can gouge my eyes out with a case of money when all I wanted for 10 years for my brother to be back with me. But just out of pure curiosity how much did you want to bribe me with? How much is my forgiveness worth to you?"

"Fifty million."

"URK! W-What?"

"Heh. Guess even your principles can be shaken with enough money. Don't worry I'd be shocked as well."

"H-How?"

"We stole it from the Celestial Dragons."

"Very funny..."
As Eli finally serves you some seaweed tea you start questioning him and Jaws about why he's so buttmad about his brother leaving him.
"Well we were twins. Ever since our parents died all we had was each other. But then he started hanging out with that Hody kid and things just spiraled out of control."

"I told them about the incident already."

"Alright. And did you tell them what you did to me?"

"No. I thought it'd be best if they heard it from you."

"After the stunt he pulled, protecting that human girl he was a very much wanted man. Especially how before that he went out of his way to hurt humans and those that love them. Well he came to me afterwards, I guess to say goodbye or something. But then his "friends" showed up. And they saw him talking with me. You know what he did? He grabbed me by the shoulders and started shouting. He asked how could I not help my own brother out. He asked if I was disgusted by him because he liked humans. Then he ran away. That was the last time I saw him. And since that day I had to provide for myself."

"Sounds like Mister Murray was just trying to protect you Mister Eli. Please don't be too harsh on him."

"Protect me? That's rich. You know I would've gone with him. I WANTED to go with him. Instead I got to stay here, surrounded by his old friends who now thought I was one of them. Every so often they came to my house to chat and ask for favors. I almost gagged every time. And I threw up every time they left. And now every normal person hates me because they think I'm one of those maniacs from the Fishman District. Doesn't help that I'm from there originally."

"But uh. I see you managed. What do you do now?"

"I became a mechanic, though I mostly do plumbings. Only reason people really tolerate me. But I would've starved if it weren't for Madam Shyarly feeding me for so long..."
>>
And that's as far as I can go for today sadly. No more time
Next session will likely happen on Saturday.
Anyway I hope it was enjoyable. Have a good night!

Most people who haven't met us before have absolutely no interest in doing do again.

Speaking of, I wonder how many fishmen Eliza will kill when she arrives and dumps our ex-slave friends and sets off to the new world.
>>
>>4947641
And here I thought people are starting to develop a pavlovian reflex to the words "I'm Silver" because it's usually followed by big oof's
>>
"Plumbing huh? That's smart. At least that means you won't run out of work anytime soon. But I'm curious. What were you doing at Madam Shyarly? Did you actually learn to cook while I was gone? Or did she make you mop the floor?"

"Eh-hehe. Yeah. Cleaning. That's what I did! A-Anyway Murray now that you're back are you perhaps planning on settling down? Buy a home? I may know an empty house a couple levels down. It's not the best but it's not the worst either."

"I can't do that Eli. I'm a wanted man. Now more than ever. It wouldn't be smart to stay here. And it'd be best if you did not tell anyone we're related. Just being a pirates family member could put a target on you as well. I would if I could. But for the same reason as before I can not stay. And besides-"
Murray removes your hat and ruffles your hair.
"I promised this guy that I'd sail the New World with him. I can't just abandon him like that. But it's not like we'll leave immediately. And... I want to do some clean-up before we do so. I believe I owe you ten years worth of cleaning."

"Typical. You'll leave again after trying to play hero! Listen to me for once Murray! You're not some hero! Get it through that thick head of yours! This mess, all of this nonsense it's not yours to clean up!"

"But it is! Especially since I was part of it!"

As the brothers begin butting heads again you poke Eli in the side and ask him for some more tea. They shut up for a second as he pours you a second mug.
"Don't worry fish-guy. Jaws isn't alone! We'll help him kick whoevers butt needs kicking!"

"Erm. Okay?"

"What Silver meant to say Mister Eli is that we won't let your brother do anything unnecessary. We are his friends after all. And we'd loose our precious helmsman if anything happened to him."

"Well at least you got some friends now I guess. Though it does bother me how they are also just a different flavor of criminal. But now you make money, right? Instead of just vandalizing stuff."

"H-Heh. Hehe. Yeah. Not vandalizing. Right."

"So about that money you just gave me. What was it? Ten million? How did you actually get it? I just don't want any loansharks kicking down my door in the future."

>Tell him you took it from Mary Geoise

"Eh. We went to Marry Goose and stole some stuff. We wanted more but then the Gravy man came and scronched us too good."

Murray slaps you over the head.
"It's gravity Silver, gravity!"

"Oh come on this again! Alright if you don't want to tell me then keep your secrets!"

"No we are being serious. Don't you read the news?"

"No? I got enough problems at my home. Why should I care about what goes on up there?"

"No look we really did it. Now where did I put the papers? Shit did I throw it out? I wanted to solve the crosswords!"

"And we wanted to read the comics with Silver!"

Murray starts going through his stuff when all of a sudden you hear a loud noise coming from outside. Judging by the reaction of Bro-Jaws this isn't an every day occurrence here. The noise continues and finally you make out what it is. They are the sound of trumpets coming from outside. Out of sheer curiosity and annoyance you rush out to see what all the fuss is about. To your surprise there is a rather large crowd outside consisting mainly of the ammo knights but there are several citizens as well who also came to see what all this is about. As you leave through the front door the music stops playing and a strange looking sea creature who resembles a seahorse a lot starts reading from a parchment.

"Attention humans! King Neptune, rightful ruler of the Ryugu Kingdom hereby invites all of you to the royal palace for a meeting! Please come with us!"

"Oh yeah? Well if some big dumb king wants anything from me he can come and ask it himself!"

"And that's why I'm here-jamon!"

Everyone looks up when a great shadow looms over the crowd. You see the silhouette of a massive sea creature slowly descending to the ground. When it lands you can't help but gasp at its massive girth.
"WHOAH! A WHALE! AND IT'S WEARING A CROWN! THE KING IS A WHALE!"

"HAHAHA! No-jamon! It is me! King Neptune!"
A tall ginger merman stands atop the whale. This is significantly less awesome than what you assumed.

"Oh."

"M-My liege! You shouldn't be here!"
>>
>>4948725
I'm with silver. Non-whale kings are naturally less awesome than whale kings

"And who decided that?!"
The giant mermaid snaps at the seahorse.
"Listen here Minister of the Right! Don't you think it'd be rude if I didn't invite them personally-jamon? It is simply not right!"

As the two of them argue you look over at Jaws who seems to be quite shaken along his brother.
"Who is the ginger Santa?"

"K-King Neptune in the flesh? I can not believe it! H-He's the ruler of the entire island!"

"Ah. Big boss. I was just confused. Usually the bosses look like weenies. This one not so much."

"King Neptune used to be a soldier back in the day. Quite a bloody one too. One of the finest warriors of Fish-man Island. Though he's old now it can't be denied that once he was a mighty fighter."

"Ah? Someone is talking about me-jamon? Oh my! Are you one of my subjects?"
King Neptune looks at Murray.

"W-Well technically I was. But I no longer live here."

"Ah that's marvelous-jamon! It is always a pleasure to meet someone from the island, a pleasure which I can seldom enjoy."

"Erm, if you don't mind me asking my king what is this all about? I thought we were cleared by your sons?"

"Hmmmm? Oh yes, Fukaboshi-jamon. He told me everything was in order that's true. Sadly we did not capture the illegal entries just yet. But that's not why I'm here. I'm here because of what he found on board your ship. He told me he saw many of our brothers and sisters huddled up in your cargo hold-jamon. And it is simply my duty to properly reward those who aid my subjects in such manner. You were quite generous in offering them passage-jamon. There have been some terrible, terrible news lately-jamon. Talks of people assaulting the Holy Land itself, breaking the greatest taboo in the world and making waves around the world. It is good to see that there are still kind and compassionate souls out there despite that-jamon."
The king winks at you. And while you get what that means he went on just a bit too long and you started drooling as you lost your train of thought.

"So what do you want big guy?"

"I'd like to invite you all for lunch of course-jamon! A feast in your honor is the least I can do to repay your kindness!"

>Alright! Free food!
>Okay. But Bro-Jaws comes with us!
>Not interested
>Other?
>>
>>4948744
>Alright! Free food!
>Okay. But Bro-Jaws comes with us!

1. Free food, naturally.

2. Jaws and his brother still need to work their shit out.
>>
>>4948744
>Ye I was just telling Bro-Jaws about it and wink. Loudly.
I don't know how you'd wink loudly, but if anyone could be unsubtle with that it'd be Silver.
>>4948753
Just Eli? Why not everyone, we got a little telephone snail don't we?

Tho honestly, I'm torn here: On the one hand we're talking free food... On the other we we're supposed to find Jinbe afterwards for Jaw's big plan and I'd hate to disappoint. I'd also hate to lose out on dinner.
>>
>>4948744
>Okay. But Bro-Jaws comes with us!

>>4948760
Slaves sadly can't participate
The rest do get an invitation as well
>>
>>4948769
Doesn't that mean we can't participate?
>>
"Yeah! I was just telling Bro-Jaws about that! Wink!"

"Nono. You aren't supposed to say "wink" you're supposed to do it like this-jamon!"

"Like this?"

"Like this!"

You exchange winks for a while until you feel like you get it right but that only happens when you accidentally use the Silver Style with it, giving it enough oomph to create a weak gust of wind with it.
"Anyway I like free food! Can Bro-Jaws come too?"

"Sure! The more the merrier-jamon! Climb aboard! This is my trust whale companion Hoe! Say hello Hoe!"

"HOEEEEE!"

Eli looks at his brother. He appears to be quite pale.
"What just happened?!"

"Silver."

Doing as told by King Neptune you climb the whale with the help of the ammo knights and you take off with the royal retinue following close behind.
"Alright-jamon! My men should be rounding up your friends as we speak. But let's not wait for them!"

"Alright! Wow big guy you're the best king I've met yet! You're not a weenie at all!"

"You met many kings-jamon? Also I thank you. I also enjoy not being surrounded by weenies once. Hey! This gives me an idea! What say you that when we get to the palace we also roast some weenies? We should have plenty!"

"In the fridge or walking about?"

"Both-jamon! Hoh hoh hoh hoh!"

"Kekekeke!"

"M-Mister Murray what is happening? Why is Silver getting along with your ruler like that?"

"Uuuuuuuuuuh. I am not sure. But I DON'T like it! I knew he was... eccentric. But I've never seen him up close like that! Well given his past as a fierce warrior and his demeanor I'd say we might be staring at future Silver."

"I'm not sure if that's adorable or terrifying."

"Mother I'm scared!"

"HEY! The weenies in the back can stop talking now! So anyway big guy what about the slaves on my ship?"

"Ah, them. I'm sorry. I'd trust my subjects with my life. But I wouldn't trust them when faced with a Celestial Dragon or their property. Their fear of them is justified and I wouldn't want to risk them seeing any of those poor souls. But I will send them aid, that I can promise you."
King Neptune then looks up, his eyes become focused and serious.
"I was quite surprised you know, when I read the news of what you did. At first I did not know how to react. Even now I'm hesitant. I know I shouldn't feel happy about it but I do. I genuinely believe this was an act of justice. And if I invite you to my home and treat you as guests makes me a traitor then so be it. Even after the laws prohibiting it, even after joining the World Government our people are still hunted, we are still being discriminated against. Besides, who's going to tell them anyway?"

"KEKEKE!"
>>
You keep flying upwards on the whale. Along the way you see something fly way above you but you ignore it. After a while you reach some sort of a contraption at the very top of the bubble surrounding the island. There is also a speaker which the kings Minister of the Right speaks into.
"Open up the gates! King Neptune has returned!"

You look up and see a big bridge of water dropping down from the sky. There is another smaller bubble up there which is now connected to the main one through the bridge.
"Impressive isn't it-jamon?"

"What is that?"

"It's our security system-jamon. The two bubbles are separated by several layers of bubbles, air and water. The bubbles themselves are nigh impossible to penetrate and to get through all the different layers one would need to be able to both fly and swim, a rare combination of talents. On top of that we always have security up. This is the Ryugu Palace's defense system and it's quite impenetrable. It's only through this bridge that you can get in reliable and it can only be lowered from inside. Now come on!"

The whale passes through the stream of water and takes you right up to the royal palace which makes even the dreamlike Gyoverly Hills look mundane in comparison. For a moment you get concerned as you're surrounded by water from all sides but you see the place quickly draining before your eyes at Neptunes command. He invites you inside with his jolly smile and you follow him eagerly. On the way inside however you get stopped by another weird looking guy whom Neptune addresses.

"Minister of the Left! Is everything ready?"

"Yes my liege. We prepared everything."
The strange looking merman then turns to you.
"Now gentlemen I'd like to request your weapons."

"What?"

"We simply can not allow outsiders to come into the palace armed. Don't worry we'll return them to you just as you left them."

>>
>>4948805
I mean I kinda came to that realization as I rewatched the Fish-man Island arc. Neptune is a goofy fun loving guy with a LOT of blood on his hands and the ability to smack a fucker very hard. Remember what he did after Otohim died? He locked himself in a tower for days where he kept banging his head against the door because he KNEW he wouldn't be able to stop himself from slaughtering any human in sight
I'd imagine that's how Silver would be if he grew up and wisened up a bit.

Counter point since when has "This is difficult" ever stopped, slowed us down, or caused even a momentary whiff of doubt to appear? I seem to remember the first words out of SIlvers mouth after Marcella got stabbed was: "Find me this dead man"

Besides, its good to have something for characters to disagree on even if they hit it off, creates opportunity for growth and deepening ones understanding of one another and all that good stuff.

Oh no I agree about that. I was just saying that it's not that they did "nothing". They tried. They are just weenies and failed

>>4948830
Neptune got hyped up a fuck ton for nothing, broke his back, kept getting his ass handed to him without achieving shit, and spent the entire arc chained up by the straw hats or the hody bunch while his sons did all his work for him even after they got chained up with him. At least Cobra managed to create a cool fight background by destabilizing the poneglyph tomb and carried Luffy out after passing the antidote onto him from Robin.

"He pushed a button and gave someone a shot"
You're right, that takes a lot more courage then trying to shield his people and try to let them escape rather then the brilliant plan of "If I drop some rocks on the Logia, surely that will solve the problem!" the man was an idiot. A well meaning one, but an idiot none the less.

"Okay. Go ahead."
You speak to noone in particular as you draw Argent from its scabbard and hand it over to the minister.

"Thank you. Now the rest-"
As he floats over to the others the minister begins wobbling and he looks down at his hand.
"Whatthe-"

Suddenly his arms rise and the blade twists in his hand until the edge faces him. He's trying to push back against it and even some of the ammo knights jump in as they think he's about to clumsily injure himself. But once they realize they can hardly hold the sword back they understand that something else is going on. You walk over there and push them out of the way in order to take back your sword. With a big swoosh you put it back in its resting place and look at King Neptune.
"I don't think you guys can handle them."

"That weapon... what convinced you to wield such instruments?"

"I like them."

"Hmmmm. Minister, ignore those stupid protocols. These people are our guests."

The minister tries to protest but he gets shut down quickly as the King is quite hungry. Unfortunately for him even though everything is prepped and ready with a table full of plates you are not allowed to eat as your friends have not arrived yet. Marcella was just escorted and she's currently arguing with the guards that if they touch her stuff they die but the others are nowhere to be seen.

"Hnnnnnnng! This is unbearable-jamon! Minister! The food is already cold! Can't we just eat already?"

"I'm sorry my liege but the food was cold to begin with. These are just appetizers!"

The king looks defeated and leans back in his chair. Meanwhile his sons sitting in front of you are clearly sizing you up. They think they are real smooth with their whispers but you can hear all of it. They are wondering just how challenging your feat was if someone as scrawny as you could do it. But the eldest brother is quick to point out that you have sustained extensive damage. He's wrong in that he thinks you got those in Mary Geoise but he's right in that you are actually tougher than you look. Regardless they don't seem to be too keen on bothering you for now. Most likely they are waiting for the right opportunity. But your patience has run out and you stand up from your seat.

"I need to pee. Where's the toilet?"

One of the ammo knights comes closer.
"I'll escort you."

"Neat."

No. He can just feel the bad mojo of the weapons

Probably not? But then again it doesn't take a scientist to see that a sword with a mind of it's own and a will to kill might be a bit much for the weenies to handle.

I doubt it's the first time he's seen cursed weapons, given how many Greki has made and that there are many circulating in the world, including zoro's

Greki didn't make the blade Zoro uses, that was a Smith in Wano. Greki's curses are just on par with the cursed blades. If not stronger.

You almost pity the poor guard escorting you because he had no way of knowing what he signed up for. The moment you spot interesting stuff, of which there are plenty in here you took off in a flash and by the time you got bored of it the guard was long gone. Still, finding a toilet shouldn't be too hard. Right? Wrong. You ran around in circles for quite a while. Normally it wouldn't be too bad locating a place with rushing water in it. But not when you are surrounded by water from all directions. So you do what must be done and walk over to a balcony in bat form. There are some corals down there that would appreciate the water. Surely. It's not as if they are submerged almost all day every day. After inconspicuously relieving yourself you decide to stay in bat form to minimize the odds of someone spotting you because you don't want to appear clumsy in front of the cool king. Unfortunately since you're lost it's also quite hard to get back where the others are.

"Damn. This place is hard to navigate."
GROWL.
"Can't think straight on an empty stomach."
You wonder aimlessly for a bit more until you come across something... interesting. Before you is quite a large tower with a big door on it that has about two dozen rather large weapons embedded in it.
"Hoh! A danger room!"

Unfortunately there is a guard stationed in front of it so you won't-
"Hey you there! Come and help me!"

"What? Not now! I'm on guard duty man!"

"Someone pissed on the corals again!"

"OH FOR THE LOVE OF-"

Well, that's taken care of. That should leave the door nice and exposed for you to take a better look at it. Then again, you probably should get back to the others before they start thinking you're up to no good.

I'm quite looking forwards to meeting her, because I bet Silver is going to see himself in her current position:

>Utterly resigned to her fate

Little giant-princess is very close to the same headspace we were before Eliza... So lets tell her about our philosophy and what you need to do, and become, to never have to be afraid like that ever again.

Well since the thing has been abandoned the tower is like an oyster now, ready to be cracked open to access the valuables inside. It's almost as if fate decreed that you should have access to it. Looking up you can almost hear the weapons talking to you.
"Come on Silver! Open the door!"

"There is cool stuff in here!"

Well they don't need to tell you twice! The great iron door is quite heavy and hardly budges but with enough effort you do make it slowly creep open. Inside you find only pitch blackness with only the slightly ajar door providing a single beam of light. So you close your eyes and let your other senses take over. As your hearing sharpens you do start making things out. There is definitely some stuff here, some really gigantic stuff. And something guarding it. Right in front of you there is a breath, a pulse that belongs to something BIG. And it appears that you are not the only one who's aware of the presence of others. A great shadow rises and looms over you with big red glowing eyes. Great white fangs flash in the dark as the stray rays of light hit them. It lunges at you.

As it gets ready to bite down your head you put your hand on your sword which causes the shadow to freeze. Realizing this you let go of Argent and give the looming shape in front of you a backhanded slap which makes it retreat.
"Bad dog!"

It flies back where it came from and starts making some weird noise.
"Sha- sha!"

You decide to fly after it and land on some big, soft structure.
"Hey! Come back here! I'm not finished yet!"

"Sha! Sha!"

Suddenly you hear a new voice and come to a realization. What you felt was not one breath, it was two.
"Hmmmm? Megalo?"
The lights come on and your eyes start burning. It appears you were directly looking at the light bulb when it turned on.
"KYAAAA! Wh-wh-wh-what are you doing in my chambers? Who are you?"

The figure rises and as it turns out you were standing on it. But that doesn't matter as you're rolling around in pain right now.
"ARGH CAN'T SEE!"

"R. Kantsee?! Y-You came here to hurt me like the others, didn't you? W-Well I'm not s-scared! Because I'm the daughter of the great K-King Neptune! So I'm not scared! I'm not s-scared! WAAAAAAAAAH"
A loud shriek assaults your ears and you feel something heavy battering your body. The wetness indicates that it's in fact entire tubs worth of water that are being dropped on you. You start accidentally swallow some which makes you cough and choke.

How the hell do you milk a fish?
>>
>>4949074
How many fish have literal tits the size of Hummers? You ask stupid questions.
>>
"COUGH COUGH COUGH! BLERGH! SALTY!"
You slowly start to recover despite being battered by big globs of water. Your eyes adjust to the light and you manage to cough up enough water to breathe normally again. That is the point at which you finally see the behemoth before you and it makes your jaw drop.
"Whoah! BEEG! That's a giant mermaid! And a giant SHARK!"
But your comment appears to have fallen on deaf ears as the giant mermaid is still too busy crying and the big shark is trying its best to calm her down with no luck.
"Hey! HEY! Why are you crying? I haven't done anything yet!"

"WAAAAAAH! G-Get away! Get away! Father! Brothers! Please help meheheeeee!"

"Sha! Sha!"

"Okay... I think I'll just walk away since this is not a danger room. Buh... huh?"
Something makes your ears twitch. There is an object outside flying in your direction, fastly. Judging by its shape it's an axe and it's aimed right at the giant mermaid. It enters through the door you left open and swerves around mid air. You don't know what that's about but it'd be bad if anything happened to her right now. Jumping in the air you raise your left hand and let the axe strike the bone prosthetic. As the blade gets embedded you reach up with your other hand and grab the great weapons shaft and start pulling. To your surprise it resists quite a bit but you manage to wrench it back and once you get it under control it looses all momentum. The weapon does not feel cursed but it definitely behaved like one. You don't like it.
"Hmmmmmm."
Closing your eyes you start concentrating to activate the color of observation. The echoes the axe left give you a good idea of where it came from and with a big hurl throw it back.
"AND DON'T COME BACK!"
As the axe flies out you run up and close the door as this must be the reason why it was full of weapons.

"Y-You saved me?"
Your relieved sighing gets interrupted as the crying in the room stops.
"W-why?"

"Erm..."

"Hi. Are you done crying now?"

"U-Uh-huh."

"Good! I'm Silver. You?"

"Shirahoshi."

"Shoshi?"

"Shirahoshi."

"That's too long. I'm gonna call you Fishy."

"T-That's not my name."

"Eh it's fine!"

"That is not my name!"
She looks like she's about to start crying again when your stomach starts growling loudly.
"O-Oh. Are you hungry? I-I have some food in here. I don't eat much so you can have it."

"Cool. Thanks!"
You fly onto her table and look at the huge plates that are served for her. The food in just one of them must weigh more than you do. At last a proper feast!
"Finally. King Santa said we'd have a feast but I haven't eaten anything."
You grab a piece of spaghetti that's so thick you can't reach all the way around it with one hand and start sucking in the whole thing.
"Anyway you are huge! How are you this big of a weenie?"

"I-I'm not a weenie!"

"Yes you are. You cry a lot. Why are you scared if you're that big? I bet you could punch anything and it'd hurt very much!"

"I don't like violence. Erm... excuse me but what's wrong with your arm?"

"Oh this?"
Plop.
"It comes off. I left my original one on the surface and replaced it with this one. I left my eye too but I don't need a replacement for that. I can still see without it."

"Really?"

"Yeah. SHLURP. I'll close the one I have. You raise your hand and I'll tell how many fingers you put up. Four, one, two, five and now you didn't put up any."

"A-Amazing! Can all humans do that?"

"Hmmmm no. Not all. Some can. And I only learned it recently."

"Ah I see. Humans are very strange indeed. B-By the way are you a pirate? I read many books and you look a lot like how they say pirates look with that eyepatch and missing arm."

"Yes."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-rs00ttc5I

"That sounds wonderful! Since you're a pirate have you been on many adventures? Oh, right! Have you seen the sun? Is it true when night falls you can see many shining lights in the sky? And that there are many different flowers and animals with fur all over their bodies? Have you ever been to a place called a "forest"?"

"Hmmmm. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes and yes. But why are you asking all these silly questions? You should know that."

"Oh. I've never been to the surface. But I always wanted to see."

"Why not just go there and look? Jaws says fishman and merman kids always go up to check things out."

"I... can't leave. I haven't left this tower for ten years."

The piece of food you're holding falls out of your hand.
"Ten years?"
>>
"That's right."

"And how old are you?"

"I had my 14th birthday this year."

"And you were locked in here this whole time?"

She nods.
"I can not leave this tower and nobody can come in. Even the guards can't stay for more than five minutes. Only Megalo here can stay with me. It's because of the axe you stopped and because the weapons in the door. A man named Vander Decken keeps sending them to me as proposal."

"Proposal?"

"Yes. He started with gifts and letters but after a while he started sending weapons and he won't stop until I accept. And I can't leave because the weapons will find me. So even though I really want to leave I can't."

Not feeling hungry anymore you push the plate away and turn to face Shirahoshi as you sit down.
"Hey Fishy. What else do you want to know about the surface?"
>>
And with that I've reached my limit. Time for sleep.
I hope you enjoyed yourselves. Sadly I don't think I'll be able to squeeze in any more sessions into this thread.

I'd give a rough guess at around 10 or 11. Old enough to like the ladies but just young enough that he's not stupid about it like Sanji or Brock would be.

We need to keep an eye on that though, or at least get Murray to teach him the ways of rejecting the Thot. He shall not fall to the Ways of the Simp.

That's an interesting question. Well given how she'd hear about Silvers actions on Mary Geoise she wouldn't be pleased. But knowing that she has super advanced Observation that's always on and she knows how people feel at any given moment...

It might play out similarly to how Otohime reacted to that fishman who was stealing. She'd rush down Silver and start slapping the shit out of him until literally every bone in her hands would be broken because Silver is a tough boy. But at the same time she would weep for him because she knows why Silver did what he did.
So by the end she'd telling Silver that "I understand your pain but you can't do such things!"

And Silver would be confused as fuck because she's a weenie who's not a weenie. She's so frail she hurts herself when she smacks someone. But she has enough guts to just keep smacking a motherfucker regardless even with her glass bones.

After that it's anyones guess. Maybe Silver politely leaves and ignores her. Maybe he gets curious and asks Otohime "Why?" at which point she'd start educating him like she'd do any children of Fish-man Island.

Hard to say though.

Also what do you mean by other writefags having problems? The curse doing its thing?

>>4949612
Yeah I'm also curious as to how the fuck would that work. And if they don't have any panties would that mean that literally every mermaid in the series is going commando at all times? If so where does fish have puss-puss?
>>
>>4949776
The only thing I remember about the mermaid panties thing is that Brook did not ask to see Camie's because she didn't wear anything, so it was recognized by Oda that they don't wear any.
>>
>>4949779
Yeah and instead he asked her for money! What a fucking chad
>>
>>4949776
>If so where does fish have puss-puss?
Most fish are oviparous, so the female lays eggs and the male blows his load all over them, but certain species have adapted some fin or another into a sexual organ for delivering sperm.
>>
>>4949776
If it's Monster Musume style she either wears a pasty or nothing
>>
I believe Shirahoshi is a smelt-whiting mermaid, and thus lays eggs rather than taking it in the pussy.
>>
>>4949792
I believe she has giant tittos, therefore she takes it on the chin
>>
>>4949804

Excellent, I bet Daunty would to... Don't think she'd turn us down after we go "So Daunty, I know you don't like swimming but there's this pedoguy whose been trying to force this giant fish-cess to marry him/kill her since she was like four and I'm not ok with that, and I need your help"
Hell, we could even put on a marine cap and coat and strut around on the ship yelling "justice" a lot... And it could basically serve as a pirating tutorial for the freed slaves And and! Instead of a reward (which I'm 110% sure there'd be) we could ask the fishmen to build a boat for said escapee's... Yes, it's all coming together.

OH GOD FUCKING DAMMIT

>>4950027
THAT DOES NOT MAKE IT BETTER.
>>
>>4950059
Let me put it this way. Getting wrapped up in this has the potential, just slightly mind you, to be the most dangerous thing we ever get involved with. Even our stunt in Mary Jo could theoretically not be as bad as what could happen here.
>>
>>4950154
This girl is going to be free. I don't care if we have to fight another Admiral to get it done.
>>
so guys I have been thinking abo something, would it be theoretically possible for us to feed a devil fruit to our prosthetic arm
>>
>>4950912
I mean if you can feed one to a sword then I guess you could. Unless curses fucky wucky it or something.
>>
>>4950912
On the other hand since it is actually part of us all stabbed in it might just count as being a literal part of us as far as devil fruits are concerned so it wouldn't work, can't have two devil fruits after all.

Unless you're the blackest of course.
>>
>>4950912
I don't see why we couldn't, but it might get a bit fucky with the curse.
I don't think a lot of people know how to feed objects fruits though, I think Vegapunk knows how and probably someone in Wano since the tanooki pot exists.
>>
>>4950932
so we just gotta find this vegapunk guys dude and just beat the information out of him, but I guess that there is probably some poneglyph somewhere that has the knowledge on how to feed a devil fruit to an object
>>
>>4950932
I actually have a theory about that.
I doubt the tanukipot was deliberate. so how did it happen? Someone put the fruit in it and boiled it to make tea. Juices seeped in the pot. Voila
>>
>>4949962
>>4949972
>>4949933

>Eh, Silver. We're done, you can put the coat away now
>"Nah, I like it! Besides I bet the marines will boil over when they see it, kekekeke!"
I can totally see that, yea. Would probably look pretty good with our suit too.

>>4950185
Amen bruva, I wonder if Spooks planned for us to detour everything and hunt down the bastard... Which also really kind of highlights another difference (and one I very much appreciate) between us and Luffy.
We actually try to solve problems, or rather: Enforce our will upon them rather then just going on a picknick and then kind of just forgetting about the whole thing. I do despise passive protagonists.
>>
>>4950932
I mean we established that Argent and Parley have minds of their own. I'm pretty sure the next time we find a fruit we can just ask them if they want to eat it.
>>
>>4950965
why would anyone willingly make a devil fruit tea and who would even drink that
>>
>>4950912
What fruit would fit our arm? Cooper's bone fruit? Sucks that we don't have it
>>
>>4951083
Might not have known it was a Devil Fruit at the time. Not everyone in One Piece knows what they are or what the look like. Alternatively, they might have thought making into a tea would get around the issue of it tasting disgusting, especially if it was some rich noble who wanted the powers but didn't want eat something gross. Hell if it was a rich ass noble, buying and uber-expensive rare fruit to make something like tea is exactly the kind of dumb thing they would due to flaunt their wealth.
>>
>>4950185
Good man
>>4951090
Reminds me of the scene in One Punch where a character is offered a power boost he can eat but he cooks it "Because I'm not a savage" and it nullifies the effect.
>>
>>4951083
Wano people are reclusive idiots. They don't know what a Devil Fruit is and call them magic or Jutsu or whatever.
So if someone found a strange looking fruit they wouldn't know what it is.
And given how many people starve in Wano they probably wouldn't question a bizarre fruit and would just thank the gods for the fortune of finding something edible
>>
>>4950965
so wouldn't that make so that it would be easy for us to feed the prosthetic arm a devil fruit, all Silver would need to do is crush it with the prosthetic arm
>>
>>4950965
That's interesting, but it feels like just boiling a devil fruit is to easy, and that way more people would know about it.
Maybe a combination of different plants and stuff? Since whoever created the tanooki pot may have thrown in some other stuff in there to make it taste better.
>>
>>4949933
>>4949962
I like these ideas and it even works with our normal classy outfit.

Mostly done with the Char sheet and Social Links.
None of it is uploaded yet.

I just need to add the very last of the entries. The last two islands + Mary Geoise, as well as proofread the whole thing. Tomorrow I should be done with it

Since the thread is pretty low if it should fall off the face of the board you know where to check for announcements. I will post it on Twatter in advance

>>4952678
>>4952580
Yeah it was mostly just my musing. Definitely not 100% foolproof yet but I still like it

>>4955161
Agreed
>>
It would be cool if Silver's prosthetic arm where to be able to turn into a skeleton crocodile by eating a devil fruit
>>
I just caught up after reading through the archives. Wish I had jumped on sooner, this party's getting crazy.
>>
>>4955523
Looking forwards to it!

>>4956024
Welcome aboard, thoughts so far on what we're about to do, have done, characters and all that that you'd fancy sharing? Always nice to get a fresh perspective on things
>>
>>4956024
Welcome anon! Enjoy the ride
>>
So uh... remember when I said I would post the updates? Well I got some complications to deal with. Namely a blackout
>>
>>4956655
Oof alright take care man
>>
A'ight! It was just a short blackout this time and not one that lasts multiple days
Updated both Character Sheet and the Social Links
I did not include Fishman Island stuff because that'd be silly

I think out of the crew only Gu did not get anything, everyone else got something. Other stuff is on a case by case basis
>>
>>4956785
few things fill me with joy as much as the celestial dragons snip at the end, good job spooky
>>
>>4956785
Seconding the other anon. I want that ending snippet injected straight into my veins.
>>
>>4956523
>thoughts so far on what we're about to do
I almost feel bad for how Vander might be the next one to get Silvered out of nowhere... almost.
>have done
It's tough to pick a favorite section. I really liked Water 7, but the original locations have been great, too.
>characters
It's tough to pick a favorite crewmate, but I think I have to go with Murray. His moment where he stopped the wave during the Agua Laguna was perfect. Hopefully things work out for him here.
>>
>>4956785
Oh man, the Social Links page is quite interesting.
From Garp knowing we're right, to the Dragons starting to get antsy.
The most surprising thing to me is that the Gorosei actually recognized us existing, and that what we did was concerning. I'm sure we'll go into the back of their minds now that the event is over, but I'll take that as a win.
>>
>>4956785
We are on page 10 and getting close to falling off the board. New thread?
Also I have been looking at the abilities of all our crew members and noticed something is missing from pretty much all of them. Aren't most if not all our crew members immune to most low level poisons because of Gu's cooking? Is that not an ability worth listing?
>>
>>4956785
>He didn't update Marauder
On more serious note, its good mate. Obviously the bit with the Dragons is excellent and warms my black and withered heart but the bits which made me smile was Eliza (I've probably said it before but I really like how two people as fucked up as Silver and Eliza can find someone who understands and cares for them) and Marcella (Because you've given her a really neat little background arc In that she's styling herself more and more after Silver)
That and that little bit from Zoro, see this I cannot praise enough: I don't know if you planned it like that but when someone mention something and then you notice that same idea in the fluff like that really does encourage active participation and discussion.

Also Kidd.... I like Kidd, he gets it.
>Boy let me tell you what, I guess you didn't know but I'm a Supernova too and if you care to take a dare I'll make a bet with you. Now you're a pretty good pirate but give the Captain his due, a treasure of gold against your soul cause I think I'm better then you
>And the boy said "Well my names Silver and it might be a sin, but I'll take your bet you're gonna regret. I'm the worst that ever been!
>>
I look at the social links and am reminded about things we've done in the past. I have to do a double take because I think "Gee that's kinda silly" before I remember this is a One Piece quest. The series that is basically uppers and downers in visual format. Where you can have the super duper happy ending one minute and the next face soul-crushing agony.

What a wild fucking ride.
>>
>>4957419
Yeah it's due. I'm thinking about running on Tuesday next. Sadly next week I have a national holiday on Friday and intend to spend it with relatives. And on Saturday I'll be going to an FGC event so at best I might be able to squeeze in a second run on Thursday. But no guarantees

As for the abilities I've given up on listing every attack because I'd go insane if I did. Plus I picked up the Oda habit of doing one-offs every now and then. One Piece is about adapting to the situation at hand anyway.
But I will put the poison resistance on everyone.

>>4957848
>Didn't update Marauder
Ah that's where you're wrong. Previously his occupation was "Pet". I changed it to "Crab" because it's funner.

And, well thanks. I'm very glad you enjoy it.
As for the Zoro stuff it's a bit of both. Obviously I saw people discussing Zoro and his ambition of squaring up with every swordwielder. But there's also the fact that he's just a massive fight-fag who always seems interested in dancing with the biggest boys aroud just to see how he does.

And that greentext is now mine! Yoink!

>>4957951
That's also what I like about the series. The goofiest shit contrasted by the darkest shit in the background. And nobody exemplifies that more than the Straw Hats themselves. I mean Jesus, you could literally shed manly tears at each of their backstories. Sanjis and Brooks especially
>>
>>4956785
>Law considering us for an alliance.

Interesting, but I dont see any reason for us to go to dressroba. Far as I know Bege is already trying to make inroads with Big Meme, we're doing Murray's thing right now, and as far as I'm aware the others dont have any pressing grudges or desires that need filling.

I suppose there's the ever present reason of shits and giggles, but unlike Goofy we'd want actual loot not just the joy of driving Law slowly more and more insane.
>>
>>4958102
We have to kill Bege for Marcy, though.
>>
>>4958106
Oh I know, but we have to actually go where that cocksucker is, and he's not going to be in Dressrossa, or at least I'm pretty sure he wasn't.
>>
>>4958113
I don't know. Dude gets around though.
>>
>>4958102
I don't think Law will involve us in any of his plans for a while. He's still got to do the stealing a bunch of hearts thing.
As for actually going to Dressrosa I could see Doffy inviting us since he was quite happy about our Dragon Hunt. maybe to scout us out or even just to meet us.

Bege's probably dealing with Big Mom right now, or whatever that weird magnet thing was.
Speaking of which, did that ever get explained? It just sort of happened, was it Big Mom's doing?
>>
>>4958102
Yeah depending on how shit goes here we might have to target her regardless of Marcy and Bege.
>>
I never understood why Big Meme and Kaido never made a move during Ace's going away party. Did the WG bribe them or something?
>>
>>4958221
Probably didn't give a shit to be honest. Ace might be Gol. D. Roger's kid, but everyone that's not a WG knows that blood don't mean much.

Gol. D. Roger didn't have some famous dad and neither did Rocks, and they shook the world so hard everyone is still feeling it decades later.
>>
>>4958221
Not sure about Big Mom but Kaido was being kept busy by Shanks.
>>
>>4958323
big mem was eating a snack.
>>
>>4958135
No, none of the initial islands of the New World were ever explained. Maybe the floating island was Shiki? Maybe not.
Thing is, it was meant to show that while Paradise was weird all logic goes out the window in the New World.

>>4958221
They did. At least Kaido did. He wanted to join the fun but Shanks cucked him and held him up 'till the end. That's why Shanks showing up is not an asspull, he was literally in the neighborhood

I don't know about Linlin. Probably didn't give a shit. That or she was waiting for the end so she could jump whoever's left and clean up
>>
Ok, weird question, and this may be out of left field, but I figure if I'm going to brign up anywhere fishman island would be the place. Do any of you think fishwomen are a thing? Like the females of the fishmen subspecies are generally mermaids while the males are fishmen, but mermen are also a thing just rarer, so do fishwomen exist and there just super rare? I'm pretty sure they never show up or are mentioned in OP proper. I don't know, just a stray thought I had.

They do but there are no named ones afaik and most of the time they are ugly as sin so you can't tell them apart from the males.
But they did appear in the background

And Merfolk breeding is just fucked up to begin with since these two species can breed together but their children are always one or the other, not some weird hybrid
