"It's also covered in real gold. They said you can eat it and I tried but it doesn't have any taste. But at least that means you don't have to bother opening them one by one."

"Really?"
Big Mom lifts the chest above her head and tips it over so its contents roll into her gaping mouth. When the last of the chocolate coins rolls into her mouth she slams her piehole shut and starts chewing with a very satisfied smile on her face.
"What a great gift! I like nothing more than sweets and surprises! How did you come up with this?"

"I was just thinking about what I'd like to get."

The big lady leans forward and grabs your body like it was a doll and lifts you up. Unlike Fishy's hand hers are obviously old but not wrinkly due to all the fat and they smell of sugar and perfume, almost like cotton candy. Big Mom then walks over to the giant table obviously meant for her and she sets you down on top of it where an identical but normal sized replica of the table is found with some chairs. She makes you sit in one and pats your head before sitting down herself.

"There there. What a thoughtful young man! Mama-mama!"

"Nice table."

"You like it?"

"Yeah very smart. It's a pain when different sized people want to sit at the same table..."

"Right? Mama-mama! It's sadly not a perfect solution. Imagine! A world where everyone can see eye to eye because they are the same height! That'd be the best."

"What about One Piece?"

"Huh?"

"I thought you Emperors want it more than anyone."

"Ah. Yes, of course. But it's not my dream. I'll become the Pirate Queen but it's only a stepping stone. My real dream is that my family and all races could sit at the same table in peace. What about you?"

"Me?"

"Yes. I have lots of friends you know, friends that can tell me things. But when I asked them about you they came up short. Like you just sprouted one day from the dirt, ransacking one island after the next. I wonder... who are you? Where did you come from? And what is your dream you little bundle of mystery."
Big Mom grabs the edges of the table and leans on it. As she does the whole table starts tipping towards her. The large teeth and her almost dripping saliva is deeply unnerving. You're feeling like chocolate now.
"What's wrong? Cat got your tongue? Tell you what, if you answer my questions I'll let you ask some things from me! It's only fair that way."

You lean back and cross your arms.
"Hmmmmmmm."

Dunno about telling her, and literally everyone listening, about the slavery and those painful details we've only really shared with a select few. But she's been nice so far and free food so I don't mind being open about the rest.

Right, one thing everyone: I'm guessing Eliza is a big part of what to say or not to say... And how do you all feel about it?
Personally I'm all for telling Big Mom about her, it's not like Silver isn't proud of their relationship and, hell, we told Garp for gods sake.
>>
>>5005352
>Let's not get carried away. You'll tell her some stuff but not everything.
And my ID is here too!

>>5005385
I kinda want to drop her name just to see her reaction. But I also don't want Silver to do the whole "check out my scars" thing for everyone present.
>>
>>5005394
Yea, I'm on the same page there.
>>
>>5005352
>Let's not get carried away. You'll tell her some stuff but not everything.
Imagine the sheer panic when marines find out Silver is in Totto Land. Everyone's scared Silver and Big Mom become pals, because both of them are autistic enough for that to be plausible.

We all seem to be on the same page here
But I'm curious. Do you actually want to name drop Eliza here or nah?

>>5005418

Yes. I made my points, and I'll add another: What would Eliza think if he heard that we were ashamed/dodging around her? It'd break a withered little heart it would!

As you try to open your mouth you hear a set of three footsteps casually approaching the table which is shortly followed by loud greetings.
"Ah Charlotte Linlin! Still as stunning as ever!"

"Morgans you sly dog! I knew you'd come sniffing!"

"Firstly I'm an albatross thank you very much. And second I can smell BIG NEWS happening a mile away. You know I can't help it! And my what news this will be. It seems like everyone else is out of the loop or willfully ignorant but I know a headline when I see one. Mark my words this day will be remembered as the day a Yonko met one of the Worst Generation! The name is still pending but I like the ring of it."

"You know me?"

"Know you? "Cavaliere" Silver? Captain of the Silver Pirates? Destroyer of Dragons? The Demon of Mary Geoise? One of the Thirteen Supernovas? My boy I don't KNOW you, I am a FAN! But where are my manners? "Big News" Morgans at your service! Information broker, journalist, entrepreneur and owner of the World Economy News Paper! And with that I'd like to officially apologize to you. I may have slandered you a little bit here and there but I am still a reporter at heart! When I hear Big News it is my DUTY to see it delivered to the world! And I'd NEVER disrespect you by downplaying your biggest achievements! That's why I decided to publish your exploits at Mary Geoise as they were."

So many names, his words feel like honey in your ears. You like this guy!
"Ooooh. You know Arthur?"

"Who? Ah. Him. Yes. That dog has a good nose for business. Signed an exclusive contract with me which states only he can make photos of you. That rat bastard cost me a pretty penny but I respect his venture capitalism. Anyway do NOT mind me. By all means... go on!"
He produces a notepad with a pen and gives you an attentive stare.

"Well boy?"
Mama gives you a similarly eager look.

"Hmmmm. Well I can't talk for others. Because theirs is not my story and it's boring. But I come from Amble Village-"

"WHAT?!"
Morgans shouts.
"Ahem. Excuse me, continue."

"Anyway when I was very small our ship crashed and everyone but me died. I got stranded on the island before Amble Village was a thing. I did not like that place. The people there enslaved me. It was really not nice. So I burnt the whole place to the ground with everyone in it and decided to become a pirate. I met my first-mate on the first island I sailed to, beat up some bad guys and sailed to the place with lots of pizza and gangsters. I think it was-"

"Gang Town."
Mama cuts you off.
"I know things from there. But what was the Morgans? Do you know something I don't?"

"Well yes Linlin. The Amble Village massacre was pretty BIG NEWS in the West Blue at least. People talked about it for a week at least! It was some sort of weird resort island made by rich nobles who decided avoiding taxes was a human right of theirs and made their own island. They even managed to hire two Navy Commodores from the New World to keep away pirates!"
>>
>>5005418
>>Yes
Chances are, if shakky already knows, she already figured it out. Just his name and the way silver acts would give it away
>>
>>5005441
>They even managed to hire two Navy Commodores from the New World to keep away pirates!

Fat lot of good that did 'em.
>>
>They even managed to hire two Navy Commodores

And who from the Marines do we know who lived on Amble? My my but it would seem Mary's parents might have had some real weight to throw around.

"Huuuh? How did they manage that?"

"Apparently their daughter had some very serious illness and the nobles were willing to pay for her treatment. Very hush hush. And none of it will ever be found out because the whole town just one day POOF, disappeared. Burnt to the ground with no survivors. Some speculated it was the Government sweeping things under the carpet, others said it was pirates which would've been impossible with two high profile navy soldiers guarding the place. The young Cavaliere's story fits! But I wonder how you managed to do that?"

"It was very easy. Mama and Papa Killgrew left the island and so did their kid. After Big Sis taught me things there was nothing they could do to stop me."

"H-He knows their names? Linlin! I think he's telling the truth! THIS IS BIG NEWS! The origin of Cavaliere Silver and the destruction of an entire town are one and the same! Like a demon from hell he arose from the fires of Amble Town! YES!"

But Big Mom is not concerned by some petty island in one of the blues. She leans forward and starts rubbing her chin.
"Big sister you say?"

"Yeap! Eliza D. Silver!"

"HAH! I knew it!"
Mama slams at the table and makes it quake. She seems happy, or at the very least excited.
"West Blue. The same place she reappeared after Garp thrashed her! So... she's your big sister."

"You know Eliza then?"

"Know her? We were part of the same crew once."

"You too? Like Black Widow"

Mama looks at Morgans who is too busy writing the script for his next big article to notice things.
"So she's alive as well? This I did not know. But yes. I always like that cute little girl. Very loyal. A shame that she did not join my crew, I even told her she can pick from my sons but she refused. She's like an abandoned dog that one, looking for a new alpha or owner to follow. She still considers us part of her pack so she leaves our territory alone. That's the main reason why I let her do as she pleases. But yeah, the resemblance is definitely there. Heh. Doggy got a puppy. How cute!"
Mama then leans back in her chair with a big grin on her face. Looks like your answers satisfied her.
"Alright. I asked my question. Now I'll answer one of yours. Ask and I'll answer."

"Hmmmmmmmmmm..."

As you start thinking to yourself a pair of cans and a cup walk up to you. They do a little song and dance about whether you want green tea or black tea. You nonchalantly reply that you want milk and the black tea gets excited.
"Black tea is good with milk!"

A fourth container with a face waddles in which is clearly filled with milk. The overzealous can puts some leaves into the cup of hot water in front of you so you swipe both off the table and grab the pitcher of milk so you can drink straight from it. After emptying the whole thing the pitcher still seems to be alive.
"Wait. That was not your brain? Was that your pee?!"

"E-E-Erm I'm just the pitcher! I just hold the milk."

"Ah. Good."
You throw him away and he breaks on impact.
"I gotta say this is great!"
As you're done with your drink a plate full of cookies and biscuits comes to you and this time the food is also alive. Each of them begs you to pick them to be eaten and you oblige. Taking one of the biscuits you toss it in your mouth and hear it screaming as you chew it.
"This is weird. How are these alive?"

"Mama-mama! That'd be me and my devil fruit ability. I have the power of the Soul-Soul Fruit and I can give anything life. These little things are called homies!"

"So... they have a soul?"
You ask as you chuck another in your mouth. The brave little biscuit tries to hold up your jaw with all his might.
"Does that mean I absorb their life force by eating them?"

Mama laughs as the biscuit snaps in half in a grizzly fashion.
"Do you absorb the life of an animal whose meat you eat?"

"Hmmmmm. Good question! I don't know! Maybe if I ate it whole and it died in me? Hold on let me give it a try!"
You take a muffin and swallow it without chewing and hear the poor little bugger screaming from your stomach.

"HEEEELP GOOOOD!"
BANG BANG BANG
"LEMME OU-"
Then it stops.

"That's hilarious! But I don't think it worked."

"It's great isn't it? That's how my kingdom is so magical. I can even give human souls to animals and it makes talking animals. They are very sweet aren't they? And very useful. The uses of homies are limitless. Hmmmm. I did promise you milks you never imagined before, didn't I? Hah! Watch!"

Mama snaps her fingers and you see rows upon rows of pitchers marching up to you each with a different picture on them and a different kind of milk inside. Milk, Chocolate, Caramel, Strawberry, and god only knows what else kind of milk pour down your gullet without end. And not just different flavors but different kinds of milk from the most exotic to the most mundane but all of the highest quality. Cow, buffalo, panda, anything that gives milk was milked. Milks made to mimic various desserts like the banana split, or the opera cake come one after another and blow your mind with the possibilities. Until the impossible happens and you are satisfied. You do not want more milk.

"BUUUUURP! T-Tot Land is amazing!"

"Mama-mama! I'm glad it's to your liking! But I hope that was a satisfactory!"

"Yea! Well almost. Something's bugging me about it."

"And what would that be?"

"How do you use that to fight??"

"Hoooo? You're sizing me up boy?"

"Yeah! Are you?"

The previous warmness disappears for a moment as you exchange a pair of vicious glances. Make no mistake, the two of you are pirates at the end of the day. And meetings between pirates are rarely pretty. Mama raises her two hands to speak up.
"Zeus, Prometheus!"

"Yes Mama!"
"Yes Mama!"

A smiling sun and a thundercloud wearing a propeller beanie rush to her side. Though they look cartoony either of them would be enough to make the hair on your neck stand up. All three, no four of them together are like living nightmares. Because yes, there is a fourth voice there but you can't quite pin-point it Big Moms voice is so deafening.
"Don't underestimate me. Kid."

"I won't."
You crack your fingers.

"Hahaha!"
The menacing aura dissipates as Mama relaxes.
"It really is like looking at her again! Same eyes, the same dogged eyes! What did she see in you I wonder? A puppy, or the alpha she was looking for? Anyway I feel satisfied with your answers so I won't take up much of your time. Please, go ahead and entertain yourself. A party is meant to be enjoyed! And I got many more guests to entertain."

"Alright Big Mom."

You jump off the table and give way for Jinbe to have his meeting with Mama. As you do however you realize that you've attracted some... attention from the other guests. Where previously you were invisible to them now they are wondering who you are, and worse yet some of them seem to know exactly who you are, though there is precious few of those. One of them is Bege who's sitting at a table with who appear to be his own goons as well as a fat lady you don't recognize. The other is a big guy with a scythe. He seems to be eyeing you up. And wait a minute, aren't weapons prohibited here? But you don't have too much time to wonder about it as the big bird approaches you.

"That was a good show, I say good show! I can already see the headlines! Supernova meets Yonko! Yes, people will buy it like candy! Much better performance than others!"
He glances at Bege and smirks.
"Anyway young man don't take it the wrong way but you look like a fish out of water. Please, allow me to educate you a little bit about the dynamics of the New World, introduce you to the power players a little bit. I feel like you would make good use of it in the future! And I'll do it for free! Call it a, professional favor."

>Okay Bigbird
>Sorry not interested, got someone more interesting to worry about (Go to Bege)
>Flock off featherface! (Go and find more food to eat)
>Other?

"Okay Big bird. But a question first. How do you taste?"

"U-Uuuuh, erm... I'm not a bird if that's what you're asking! I just ate the Albatross devil fruit. You can stop salivating now! I SAID YOU CAN STOP!"
After handing you a napkin and a turkey leg to sate your emerging cravings Morgans wipes the sweat off his feathers.
"Phew. Crisis averted. Now then, you said you're interested in a little lesson right? Well follow me!"
Morgans first takes you to several tables all densely packed together. He instructs you to stay far away from it if possible.
"Those there my boy are Big Moms very own children."

"Which ones?"

"All of them."

You spit out your turkey.
"WHAT?"

"Yes. And that's only a few of them. Over the years Big Mom had 85 children in total! The oldest of them is the first son Persopero at 48 years old and the youngest is her adorable 39th daughter Anana at six years old! She gave birth every year she could and had many twins in that time! The biggest were the decuplets, ten siblings born at the same time! I think they should be about your age now that I think about it!"

"Woooow! They have such a big family? Haaah!"
You let out a dreamy sigh. That sounds nice.

"Yes, yes. Very adorable, very heartwarming. Avoid them at all cost. Some of the Charlottes like outsiders, others hate them. The problem is that they are very tight knit so no matter who you are you'll be an outsider to them. To top it off while not all of them are part of Big Moms active crew they are still family, meaning all of them will fight for the sake of their siblings. So anger one and you just made 85 enemies. Also doesn't help, I say doesn't help that they are all a big coo coo. Erm don't let them know I said that! Now please come this way-"

"B-But-"

"I said this way! Erm these are just a bunch of kings and queens from various countries. Nobody really important. Some of them are World Government members but who cares?"

"If they are World Government islands how does Big Mom own them?"

"She doesn't own them. But they are all in her good graces. Let me explain. Even if you are not under her protection you want to be Big Moms friend. Look around you, what do you see everywhere?"

"Erm... food?"

"Exactly! And where do you think it all comes from? Not from Tot Land I assure you. You wouldn't want to imagine how much blood was spilled all over the Grand Line for this party to happen. And that's the thing! The foolish resist in a futile attempt, the wise willingly give what they have to Mama before she asks for it. THAT is the power of the Yonko! You think they rule the seas because they hit hard? Hah! Perish the thought! They are the mightiest in the world but their true power is pure, projected will! When the Yonko speak the world falls silent, when they give an order the world obeys! THAT is true power young man!"

"Oh? Interesting"
It makes sense. If you're strong enough even your words carry weight. But it sounds more trouble than it's worth. They can do this because they project an image of invincibility. They have to appear big and tough. So if anyone challenges them in any way they must respond or risk appearing weak. And the bigger they are, the more territory they have the easier it is to poke them and get away with it. Unless you own everything, in which case nobody is left to challenge you.
Either that or you're dumb and they are just really good at yelling. One or the other.

"But enough about those nobodies! Now comes the real fun part! I'll introduce you to some people you ought to know if you want to make it big! These fine gentlemen over here are what you may call the Emperors of the Underworld, yours truly included. Allow me to introduce you to them!"
Morgans steps forth and takes you under his wing.
"Gentlemen it is so good to see you again! It's been a while since we met like this hasn't it?"

"Pffft. You mean the last tea party? Get real."
One of them speaks up.

"Oy Morgans, what's that next to you?"
That's the big guy with the scythe who's been eyeing you since you talked with Big Mom.

"Yea what do you think this is a kindergarten?"

"Gentlemen please, have some manners! You are talking to one of our future clientele!"

"Bah! You and your nonsense again!"

"Well excuse me Du Feld! Unlike you I actually have to put in some effort to put bread on the table! Since I'm not a money grubbing j- AHEM. Pardon me. Allow me to introduce you to Captain "Cavaliere" Silver. One of the 13 Supernova's and the man who burnt Mary Geoise!"

Among the men sitting at the table there is a really pretty lady who stands up and gives you her hand.
"Charmed!"
You take her hand and shake it.

"My name is Silver."

"Captain this lovely lady is Stussy the Queen of the Pleasure District! Want to have the time of your life? Ask her! That "gentleman" over there is Du Feld, God of Fortune. You want money... don't ask him because he's a loanshark. Those two are "Deep Ocean Current" Umit and Giberson "The Concealer". They handle shipping and warehouses all around the world. Smugglers basically. You know me already and finally-"

"Drug Peclo. "Major Undertaker". King of bounty hunters. And you... you got quite a piece on your head Cavaliere!"

"Oy Peclo get real. You know Big Moms rules-"

"Gugigigugi! And I'm also the only one Linlin allows to carry a weapon! Why do you think that is?"
He points his scythe at you.

Looking at the thing you slide a finger along it and it shatters like glass.
"Because unlike everyone else here weeners like you need weapons to look intimidating."

"Kuwahahaha!"
Morgans laughs alongside the others.
"Forgive my short sighted colleagues captain! Not everyone can be a visionary like myself! Anyway if you ever need something to build an empire be it information, money, resources or... relief. Please. Don't hesitate to ask!"

I am so glad Wano is almost done it stopped feeling like a pirate manga years ago ffs Oda just do a samurai mini and get it out of your system.

I stopped reading around the start of Wano when the manga got there and started again yesterday. Re-reading Levely right now for a refresher.

Apologies for the prolonged radio silence. This weekend ended up being a lot more hectic than I would've liked. There's been some development regarding my personal life. I will elaborate on it a bit more tomorrow but all I can say is that it should not affect the quest much, maybe a little in the scheduling department but that's it.

Aside that I'm planning on running tomorrow around the usual time-slot. So I hope I'll see you guys there.
And additionally I'll post a little something something as an apology for keeping you waiting. (And it should make things a bit easier for me tomorrow as well)

You hear their message loud and clear. However you came here for pleasure. Well, technically it was business but that's been taken care of so now you just want to have fun.
"Yeah, okay. Is that all Big Bird?"

"Hmmmmm. Yes, that pretty much covers everyone. Everyone worth mentioning rather."
Morgans then reaches into his pockets and hands you a plastic card with his big finger-feathers.
"My business card. Please feel free to call!"

Look at that subtle coloring. The tasteful thickness. My god. It even has a watermark. You carefully put away the card and tap on your suit to signify it has been safely deposited for future use. But that's as long as you're willing to stay within close proximity to these goons. The bird is cool and the old lady smells very nice but the rest you don't like. So you bid them farewell and go on to sample more of the exotic goods Big Mom has assembled for her guests. Sadly you don't really know where to begin so you simply find the nearest table and start there. Unhinging your jaw you start shoveling food down your gullet with little regard to others and appearances. Thankfully once you empty an entire table the tireless staff simply bring in more and more food. However your frankly disgusting disregard for etiquette and basic human decency did attract some unwanted attention. But as long as they don't start anything you don't care. Unfortunately you wish they did something because that last chicken bone you swallowed got stuck in your throat. A tall fellow sees this and walks up to you.

"Sigh. Some people just can't restrain themselves."
He whacks you on the back which dislodges the bone from your throat.

"Phew! Thanks! You saved my life!"

"It's nothing. But you might consider a more... balanced diet. Perorin. And I say that as man who loves nothing more than candy. Look at you, you put on quite a bit of weight just now. Stick to eating greens from now on."

"Oh?"
You look down and see that you've become quite rotund, one might say you're a very chunky boy. But it's not fat, it's just the mound of food filling you up like a balloon. Even if it was the solution would be the same.
"Yeah you're right. Hold on-"

In an instant your body shrinks down to its natural size as you rapidly digest everything inside. The lanky guy stares at you in horror.
"Oh what the hell? This has to be a joke, right? I must do hours of aerobic every day to stay in shape meanwhile- ugh!"

"Sorry. Anyway my name is Silver."

"I know. We met. I'm Persopero, remember?"

"Sorry. Memory not so good. Worse since I got kicked in the head by a guy in a banana suit. You're Big Moms kid right?"

"Tch. The nerve. I'm 48 boy. I'm not a kid anymore. But yes she is my mother."
>>
>>5009619
Well this is a surprise, but a welcome one.
Hope its all good my man
>>
>>5009637
"must be cool to have such a big family, all those brothers and sisters, and your mom is super strong too and pretty cool for an old lady. I just recently got myself a family and it's pretty cool, I hope mine will be as big as yours someday cause having no family sure did suck in comparison"

"But you still live with your mom no? Hook says "Mamas boys" who never leave the nest are not real men."

Perospero is obviously ticked off by your choice of words but he simply lets out a long-winded sigh and produces a gigantic spiral lollipop which he jams in your mouth.
"Why don't you enjoy some candy instead?"
This monstrosity of a sugary treat is almost twice as wide as your head, the perfect size to shut you up and prevent further headaches for Perospero. It is very sweet but not overly so and there is a tangy undertone to it. The candy fits your palate very well and so you start licking it so fast smoke starts coming out at the end of the stick.
"Kukuku. Is it to your liking?"
You nod your head very fast.
"I'm glad. But now that we're friends I hope you don't mind me asking you a few questions. What does Mama want with you guys? Why did she invite two rookies to her party?"

You take the lolli out of your mouth to reply.
"I don't know about the Bege guy. Ask him. I came because it was either this or fighting Big Mom."

"You mean to tell me it's pure coincidence two Paradise rookies were invited to our party? I find that hard to believe. But at least now I know you're not as much of an imbecile as it appears-"

"I don't know what that means. I just came because the fishguys probably wouldn't enjoy it as much as I would."
As the guy gives you a look as if you just insulted his mother, which to be fair you did, you take the loli he gave you and start biting down on it.

"N-No! You're supposed to lick the candy not chew it like some sort of psychopath!"

You swallow the sharp, glass-like shards and feel your tummy rumbling.
"I think I'm thirsty. Is there juice somewhere?"

"Erm yeah it's over- H-Hey! Don't you run away!"

Running over to the place Perospero pointed to you spot a person rummaging through some stuff behind the counter. Without a bell to ring you resort to slamming the table loudly to get their attention. Your efforts aren't in vain as the person looks up from whatever they were doing and sits on the counter in front of you. Turns out it's a rather tall woman with legs for days.
"Can I help you?"

"Juice please!"

"Certainly. Todays specials are a diamond, a dog with a human face and a pair of conjoined twins who are also mimes."

You look at all these things with immense confusion.
"Where's the juice?"

"Oh a newcomer? In that case let me help. Diamonds are perfectly ripe this time of the year-"
She takes a tall glass in one hand and begins to squeeze the shiny rock with the other until liquid gushes from it. It produces an opaque liquid that reminds you of lemonade and once it stops flowing the diamond become a little bit smaller.
"Please enjoy."

You take a cautious sip from it and smack your lips a few times afterwards.
"Hmmmm. Tastes sparkly! But how did you do that? I can't squeeze rocks like that. Believe me I tried."

"Naturally. It is my ability that lets me do that. It's the Shibo Shibo no Mi and it lets me squeeze the juice out of anything."

"Does everyone here have food based fruits?"

"Not all but most. Mama wanted us to have abilities that can help us with the production of various foodstuffs."

"Wait you're also one of Big Moms kids?"

"Yes. My name is-"

"SMOOTHIE!"

"Ah. Brother Peros. What's wrong?"

"Pant pant!"
Perospero grabs you by the collar and lifts you up like a kitten that misbehaved.
"Hey! You can't just leave when people are talking to you! Didn't your parents teach you any manners?"

"I don't have parents."

"Oh..."

"Brother Peros, who is this?"

"He's one of Mamas special guests Smoothie. One of them Paradise Rookies. I was trying to question him about what business he has with Mama before he rudely left conversation! Not only that but he's also surprisingly cooperative AND impossible to talk to at the same time!"
With his venting done Perospero lets you down and starts wagging his finger at you.
"Now be a good boy and don't do that again!"

"Okay."

Perospero then tries to prod you a little more for some information but he doesn't realize that even though the lights are on nobody is at home. "Damn he's good." he muttered under his breath, oblivious to the fact that you can hear him with perfect clarity.

"Brother Peros. Let me try."
Smoothie whispered to him before facing you.
"I think that's enough brother. No need to bother our guest any further. But say, aren't you a little bit parched from all that talking? How about you boy?"

"No, not really."

"Oh? And what if I said I have something quite special for you to try out?"

"Go on..."

"Didn't you ever wonder what you might taste like?"
You look up from licking your own wrist and give her an odd look. She then pulls out three small shot-glasses from under the bar-table.
"Just a few drops of essence. Not too much. I can assure you it's quite exquisite to experience yourself in this manner. But it's only fair that we get to taste it as well."

>Big Meme casually explaining how Rocks "tamed" Big Sis Silver and how easy it is to get those rabid mothetfuckers to point out rather than in.

Say what you will about Big Meme she's not stupid. She can already tell by the pedigree that Silver, should he survive, will become an annoyingly dangerous little shit.

It's a lot easier to make him /your/ annoyingly dangerous little shit.

Added bonus he'll do it for food so you dont have to shack up one of your kids to the maniac.
>>
>>5010502
>Implying she wouldn't consider shoving a kid on him anyways
She knows strong breeding. Jokes on her, depending on who she sends, they'll learn what freedom is.
>>
You continue sipping away at the liquid diamond and give the two of them a good look. You aren't sure what they are trying to do but for some reason you don't think they simply want to you to experience something nice so you politely decline them.
"Sorry. Ann told me not to trust older women who want a taste of me."

"I- That's not-"
Smoothie starts to choke on her own spittle while her brother is humming to himself.

"Has he seen through our ruse? Have I underestimated him? Could he secretly be a genius? I should keep a closer eye on him."

"I can still hear you."

"GAH!"

Thankfully they don't try to pressure you any further and instead they move on to more conventional methods of interrogation, like buttering you up with some more drinks and food first. Since they are nice enough you decide to share some stuff with them, like what your name is and some of the things you've done early in your career but they don't seem to interested. All of this is simply beneath them. Weird. Maybe this is just how people who are born in the New World see others? As simple weaklings not worth paying attention to. Then again they are pretty strong, so maybe it's that. But you can't keep this up for too long as a familiar face shows itself.

"Phew. Thank god I'm done with that."

"Oh Jimbo!"
You speak with a full mouth.

"Ah the First son of the Sea! What a pleasure-"

"Perospero. Smoothie-"

"Oh you know us? How flattering!"

"It's hard not to know the names of Big Moms first son and one of her Sweet Commanders. But I must apologize I did not come to talk with you."
Jinbe then turns to you.
"I thought I said you shouldn't hang out with them..."

"But they are cool!"

"He's acquainted with a former Shichibukai? Who is this boy brother?"

"Shhh! Maybe he'll spill something."

"What's up Jimbo? Did you have a nice talk with Big Mom?"

"Myeah. It went much better than I anticipated. She seems to be in an unusually good mood. I was sure I wouldn't be able to leave this place with all my limbs attached. Or at the very least all my fingers. But she just waved her hand and said it's all water under the bridge."

"M-Mama said that?!"

"Okay for real, what's all your beef with Big Mom? She's a super nice granny!"

"W-What did you just say?"
"W-What did you just say?"

Smoothie and Perospero look at you like you just insulted their paraplegic little sister who dreams of becoming a ballerina one day. They stare at you with a mixture of horror, confusion and anger. Thankfully Jinbe is pretty quick to explain things to them.
"Please there is no need to be upset. Silver has a... unique way with words. I'm not even sure he knows what he's saying half the time."

"HEY! I'll have you- Huh?"
But as you're about to explain yourself to Jimbo your ears pick up something peculiar. Panting. Anger. Hate. And a ticking clock all coming from the same place. You look behind your own shoulder and see a sweaty old man walking towards Big Mom.
>>
>>5010505
Super Silver to save the day, oh god the horror.
>>
The man is panting quite hard and his eyes are void of light. He's basically nothing more than a living corpse now. Yet something is compelling him to move.

"Linlin!"
He roars but nobody pays attention to him.
"LINLIIIIIIIN!"
Now Big Mom notices him and she raises her hand for the music to die down.

"Huh? Someone said my name?"

"DOWN HERE YOU FAT PIG!"
Not even lowering her head Big Mom simply rolls her eyeballs downward.
"Do you know who I am? You've been terrorizing my home for DECADES NOW! And each year you invite me to one of your hellish parties for me to dine on these blood stained graves you call food! B-But no more! My son died in your last raid on my island! I have nothing more to live for! So now... even if I don't kill you at least I'll make you suffer the same way I did!"

He starts laughing like a maniac but doesn't do anything else. He's certainly not attacking or doing anything which would provoke a reaction out of Big Moms servants. Yet he's acting as if he's the biggest shot in the entire castle. That's when you realize what this weaklings plan is. He can't kill anyone with his bare hands, hell he could barely kill anyone with a weapon, not that he could bring one in. But he CAN kill with a big bomb. A bomb which he swallowed.

Now that's an eerie amount of conjecture, I like when Silver thinks sideways and reaches a conclusion.

>>
>>5010513

>Big Mom was nice. You won't let this weeny ruin her party

Cant respect a man taking the weenie way out. Even if he thinks the bomb would work the fact that he's not willing to put the work in and make sure is a mark against him.

Netero did it right. Have a nuke as a fallback plan but try to Ice a mothetfucker first because you dont know if that bomb will actually do shit and now you've got a pissed off monster aimed at your island/relatives/crew.

This is a Yonko, you cant just bank on bombs.

>>5010523
Yonko? What about the food! The poor, sweet, innocent and delicious food!
Yea, you cannot bank of bombing a yonko but the heartless bastard is going to kill all the food!

Does this guy really think he can deal with a Yonko using some fireworks? Well obviously, the ticking sound coming from within him confirms it. Even if his plan is to take out one of Big Moms kids he very well might not succeed. A weakling and a coward. Well it's unlikely that he'll do anything but still. Big Mom gave you good food and she was surprisingly friendly. You got to repay her kindness somehow and this is the perfect opportunity. And-
"I can't allow him to kill all the food. That's MY JOB!"

Your body begins to quickly change and your legs morph into horrid clawed appendages bursting with stringy muscles. Using Shakushi you start running to the guy and prepare to kick his butt straight to the moon when suddenly-

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bhu1E6QkKMw

Something big moves past you very fast. Too fast. This big snake-like thing moves with such speed that it's undoubtedly as fast, if not faster than you are and it's only by a small miracle that you can stop yourself before you get swept off your feet. The big snake moves in on the guy and seemingly swallows it up before rising to the sky. You hear shocked screams coming from all around as well as the top of the great tower that now casts a shadow over the castle. Looking up you can't make out what this thing is at all but you do see a tiny black speck flying way above it. The snake did not swallow him, it knocked him in the air. A few moments later a bright flash blinds you as the explosive within the guy goes off. You can't help but cover your eyes from the bright light.

When you manage to open your eyes again the great "snake" is nowhere to be found and the clapping of Big Mom can be heard.
"Mama-mama! What beautiful fireworks! Good job disposing of that trash Katakuri!"

You search of the person Big Mom just addressed and you see a large, corn-fed motherfucker with one leg stretched out. It's much longer than his other one but it keeps shrinking down before your eyes. A devil fruit. He does not respond to Linlin and instead he starts walking towards you once his leg gets back to its original shape. He has to look down at you quite hard since he's about three times as tall at you. He remains silent for a while and his first sentence is quite an odd one.
"Hmmmm. Really?"

"What are you looking at? You want a slap?"

"Next time try not to get in the way of others..."

"OY!"
>>
>>5010550
More like Scrappy Doo I think. Which on reflection might be worse.
>>
You put up your hands, ready to throw down but to your surprise he simply turns his back to you and walks away.
"What's his problem?"

Jinbe walks up to you and starts grumbling.
"Charlotte Katakuri. I heard rumors about him but seeing it firsthand is something else entirely."

"You know him?"

"No, thankfully. He's without a doubt Big Moms strongest son and subordinate. I'm glad my duties as a warlord never made me cross paths with him."

"Why? You don't think you could beat him?"

"No."

"Really?"

"Yes. I wouldn't stand a chance against him. Maybe if we were surrounded by water. But even then I'd take my chances and run away. That's not a fight I'd wish on anyone."

"Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm."

"Silver..."

"HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!"

"SILVER NO!"

"What? I'm just gonna go say hi to him! Nothing serious!"

"I promised-"

"I know I know. You promised Jaws blah blah blah. It's gonna be fiiiine! We're gonna be fine like wine!"
You try to leave Jimbo behind but he actually follows you like the party pooper he is so you don't meet this guy one on one. Which really killed your groove but there is not much you can do about it without making a scene and that's the last thing you want to do. That'd be just so uncouth!

Finally you make your way to this Katakuri fellow who gives you one look and speaks up.
"Hi. My name is Silver."

"Hi! My name is Si- WHAT?"

"I told you."

"SHUT UP JIMBO! You're embarrassing me in front of the wizard!"

"Jinbe right? Is this boy your acquaintance?"

"Don't you know the answer to that already?"

"You have to try and say it before I see it."

You keep shooting glances at both of them without a clue as to what's going on.
"Jimbo I know I'm confused a lot but I actually don't like to be. So please?"

"Katakuri is famed for his very unique ability. He can see a little bit in the future. Like Madam Shyarly but instead of seeing the distant future he can see only a few seconds. But that makes it much more accurate."

"I'm not a witch-"

"I KNEW IT! He's a wi- STOP THAT!"

He remains unflinching as he stares down at you. His attitude is seriously starting to piss you off. He thinks he's so good? He thinks he's so much better than you?
"Yes."

"STOP! IT!"
Damn it! He can read your thoughts too? This is dumb!

"Boy. I have a question to you. If you answer it I'll stop. And yes, I will answer one of yours before."

"HG-G-G-G! Alright fine I-"
You look at him and he's shifting his gaze away from you. Is he... nervous? No, ashamed? Maybe. Or is he-
"You blushing?"

"No. I'm not."

"Alright. Did you really slap that guy away with your donger? Did it hurt? I tried doing it once and it hurt. Especially when the others beat the crap out of me for it. How did you make it grow that big? I can only manage a few inches before it gets uncomfortable."

"It was not. It was a leg and you saw it. Moving on."

"Now hold on-"

"Why did you move in to intercept that man?"

"Huh? Who? Oh him. Who was he anyway?"

"Some king of a small island. He's been neglecting paying Mama her dues so she decided to collect them the old way. He disliked it but instead of learning from his mistakes he wanted to get revenge. Pitiful."

"Ah. I see. Well I guess I didn't want him to blow up the party."

"Why? And before you even protest you also asked multiple questions. Now answer."

"Hmmmm. I guess because I like this place. It's fun."

"I see you have no intention of answering honestly. Very well I... No. You're serious. You're not just another goon seeking Mamas favor. Jinbe. Who is he?"

"Cavaliere Silver. Perhaps you've heard of him. He's the one who attacked Mary Geoise."

"What did you say?"
Katakuri looks down at you and he's displaying shock for the first time.
"Interesting..."
>>
And that's where I'll end for today.
Next session I'll try wrapping up the tea-party with Silver going back to Fish-man Island. And I'm going to be honest with you. I'm planning to do a 5 or 11 month long time-skip. Most likely 5. And that's as long as the fishes will remain. Unless you got other things you'd like to do either within Big Moms territory or Fish-man Island. I'll let you think about it and want to hear your opinions.
That aside I think I'll most likely be able to run a full length session this weekend. Probably at Friday but maybe Saturday. We'll see.

And now for that thing I wanted to talk about. I took some afternoon classes which will obviously restrict my ability to run for the next 2 months, give or take. The good news is that they are only on Tuesday and Thursday. Meaning every other day is still on the table for me to run. If all goes well this won't affect a thing. We'll see
>>
Hmm, we could go exploring between Islands as well, learn some other techniques, have an encounter with the Happo Navy too refine our Hassoken.

We could also encounter some of the other Yonkou like Shanks and Blackbeard, or meet Moriah after he just got kicked out of the Shichibukai
>>
>>5010622
Thanks for running spooks! As for something I'd like to do, honestly its character interactions... the Slaves, we've neglected them somewhat because Silver has gotten involved with all kinds of crazy shit but if we have a few comparatively quiet months I'd really sit down and just talk to them, even if we rejected them joining us on the Dauntless as glorified servants it'd be nice to just talk to them about their future, what they'd like, what they want, if we wanted to nudge them in any directions... I dunno, I just don't wanna leave them star trek'd with "we had an episode or two and then never spoke about them ever again" because there's an opportunity to put Silver in a spot he isn't used to: having dependants who are as lost as he was before Eliza. Responsibility, leadership. All these weird things he either dodges, ignores or simply unloads to the crew.

Maybe another of the Worst Generation? I mean, if we're in control of Fishman Island, they either got to the new world before we god down there or they're bound to show up while we're busy running the place... So that's always an opportunity.

Spot on job so far with the Big Memes as well, pat yourself on the back... Perhaps even twice!

>>5010663
I'm down for that. Hell who knows we might find a few diamonds in the rough to join our merry band of fucknuggets.

Oh I didn't even think about that.
>Silver meets Linlin "the sadistic, massmurdering, soul stealing cannibal witch" Charlotte at one of her tea parties

At that point one has to ask if Mary is even surprised anymore or just goes "Yepp, yea I didn't expect that... But I didn't expect him to burn the Holy Land either"
Tho you do have a point... The moment it gets out that the Silver pirates have taken over and are occupying Fishman island, the marines and thusly she and that little gang will hear about it... Good catch, very good catch.
>>
>>5010715
She's probably still learning how to Git gud under Lucci all things considered. Honestly if I had my choice I'd see what the yonkou or the local non luffy supernovas are up too since the strawhats are out of the way for the next couple of years.
>>
>>5010663
Agreed, I'd like to see some stuff with the slaves as well, maybe that devil guy will join the training with some other non-weenie slaves and start our first subordinate crew, that'd be pretty cool.

And yeah interactions with other supernovas or just pirates who don't want to ransack fishman island passing through into the new world.

Got something cooked up for you. I may not be able to run as I'd like to now but I can still do this at the very least

"Soru!"

Three shapes are dashing around at blinding speeds. To the uninitiated it looks as if they disappeared but the thunderous sound of their blows betrays their presence. A punch or a kick connecting with flesh but rings like metal. A kukri comes in from the side this time.

"Tekkai!"
The blade stops and does not cause a serious wound.
"Rankyaku!"

"Watch out!"

The third shape jumps in and shoves the one with the knives out of harms way. The razor sharp wind flies above their heads and cuts into the stone walls that surround them.

"Tch. That Haki is seriously annoying."

"That was dangerous Mary! You could've hurt him!"

"Yes that's the- ow!"
She stops and looks down at her exposed midriff. Blood quietly bubbles up from a tiny cut on her side. It stings as the air caresses it.
"Shit."

"Your Tekkai needs work."
The three young marines look towards the entrance where the voice came from. An imposing figure walks in. They did not expect him.

"Master."
Mary nods.

"Mister Lucci! Why are you here? Are you... limping?"

The former assassin looks down, he thought he was masking it pretty well. Evidently not.
"It appears that I am. My leg still can't take a hit. I need to reinforce it further."

"The doctors said you still need recovery! You shouldn't exert yourself like that!"
Coby protests but Mary has different concerns.

"Who did you kill?"

Lucci smiled.
"The man whose position I'm going to get now."

"D-Did you kill someone just so you could have his job? We're the world government! Such cutthroat actions are more befitting of pirates!"

"It may seem like that to you weaklings. But the ugly truth is that the higher you go on the totem pole the more vicious the competition becomes. The government can use any number of recruits but the number of officer positions are limited. The easiest way to ascend and to ensure the strongest individuals get in positions of power is to kill the one above you and take his place. But that's enough, it does not concern you. Only her. I'm taking her with me and you can stay with Garp if you like. But that's not what I'm here to talk about. I got something to show you."
Lucci raises his wrist.

"Is that a black den-den mushi?"

"Yes. This is a special one that not only taps calls but also records and plays them back. I think you'll find what my "predecessor" was talking about."

Pressing a button Lucci made the snail play back the last call it intercepted. Two people start talking in code names and exchange nonsense phrases to ensure the agent was not compromised and that the one on the receiving end is authorized to hear what they have to say.
"Report."

"I'm at Wholecake Chateau. The Tea Party ended without any major interference."

"Have you been compromised?"

"Of course not. And I disabled the surveillance in the room. The line is secure."

"Everything is as usual then? How about the "New Guest"?"

"The intel was correct. Capone Gang Bege requested an invitation from Big Mom and paid handsomely to receive it."

"What was his purpose?"

"Our suspicions were correct. He pledged his allegiance to Big Mom and requested to become part of her crew. She agreed. It is unknown however if he plans to betray the Yonko as per his MO or if he intends to use her sphere of influence to stay safe from his enemies."

"Irrelevant. Either way that's one of the Super Rookies out of the picture. Anything else?"

"Yes. There was a second guest of great import. Cavalier Silver."

There was a brief silence filled with static.
"We had no intel of this. According to reports he claimed Fish-Man Island as his territory and he's been busy securing it from outside forces."

"He was still present at the party. I'll be forwarding the pictures to you shortly. Not many were aware of his coming. I only managed to extract any relevant information from her lower ranking officers. According to them Big Mom laid claim on Fish-Man Island as well. But apparently after a short argument Big Mom conceded on the condition that he comes to the Tea Party."

There is an even longer pause coming from the other end.
"This is not standard behavior."

"Indeed it isn't. Furthermore the two of them talked personally. What's more, it appeared that Big Mom was more than eager to meet him in person. However neither of them showed any interest of joining the other or even allying. They just talked."

"Understood. I will report this to the higher-ups. It appears we'll need to keep a closer eye on him."

"Should I eliminate him?"

"Negative. Too many unknown factors. Success not guaranteed. Potential loss of useful asset too high."

"Understood."

"We'll assign another agent to gather information on him. Aegis Base out."

The recording ended there and left the three kids with more questions than answers.
"W-Was that-"

"Cypher Pol Aegis 0. This Cypher Pol unit falls outside even the governments jurisdiction and isn't considered part of the original 9. They answer straight to the Celestial Dragons. So this information is genuine. Cavalier got in contact with Big Mom."

"Master you think-"

"That this has something with Garp said? I tried to look into it. I found either nothing or more red tape than I can cut through. I believe he was telling the truth. And if he's right and if Big Mom was part of that crew then she'd make that connection as well."
Coby and Helmeppo look at each other and swallow nervously as their imagination runs wild. Meanwhile Mary just scoffs.
"Whatever the case Cavalier is clearly starting to spread his wings now that he's in the New World. He's claiming territories and actively protects them and conspiring with influential individuals. As predicted he's going to become a problem. Luckily I managed to also get in contact with someone who might be useful-"

A new figure steps out of the shadows behind Lucci.
"Good morning! My name's Kaku. A pleasure to meet you whippersnappers!"

Well well well, someone has been shown a lot of propaganda/information about us/rocks/pirates in general.

Also, goodness me
Rob Lucci, the man who hates our guts, is put in charge of an assassin organization answering to the Celestial Dragons, who'd probably want to string us up by those very same guts. Oh I'm sure absolutely nothing interesting could possibly come of that.

>"Should I eliminate him?"
No the last time we tried that, Sentomaru, one of his Pacifista and motherfucking Kizaru didn't manage it and then the madman killed near two dozen Dragons in retaliation. DO NOT ENGAGE.

"Now if you'll excuse me-"

After giving you one last thorough look Katakuri leaves you there with Jimbo to join his brothers and sisters at their table. Jinbe seems quite relieved as he's finally free from the presence of Big Moms children.
"Finally... Didn't I tell you not to bother them? And the first thing you did was parade yourself around like a clown in a circus."

"Yeah. That's how you have fun dummy."

"We're not here for fun. This is serious and you should know that! You are a captain! Your people and the islands under your protection depend on your decisions! Don't you see? This place is dangerous and if you jeopardize yourself you're actively endangering all of them!"

"Yeah I see it!"
You say with a grin as you gaze at the present guests.
"Not just Big Mom but the wrinkly guy with the long tongue, the juice lady, him and everyone else! They are strong! Strong people walking on eggshells, fearing everyone else! It's great! I can almost bite the tension! Gotta show those weenies I'm not like them!"

Jinbe can not believe what he hears and stares at you.
"Never mind then... I should've known you'd fit right in this cutthroat society-"

"Kings, slaves and normies are fine. But I'm a pirate! This is my house!"

After that little exchange however you decide to take things easy for the remainder of the party. You made a big enough impression to draw some attention but not enough to paint a target on you for everyone. Perfectly balanced as it should be. So instead of clowning around you simply sample the rest of the prepared foods, drinks and treats in moderation. Never would you have believed that your hunger could be satiated to this extent but by god Big Mom pulled it off. And it only took her what, 12 or so islands worth of bloodshed? By the time the party is reaching its climax you're simply sitting there with Jinbe just casually drinking and observing from a distance.

Big Mom finally decided it's time to open up the gifts everyone brought her. And sure they were all fancier and more expensive than yours. Precious gemstones, chests overflowing with pure gold, the best and most expensive treats in the whole world were all presented to her in neat treasure chests. And yes she showed great pleasure at these but they lasted exactly until the next thing came along. Because these things were not gifts but tribute.

"What a buncha weenies."

"Jealous?"

"No. It was good chocolate!"

But with the final chest opened it was time to start the highlight of the party: The fireworks. Great shells were fired from dozens of cannons which painted vibrant pictures on the night sky. The bombs exploding were loud but there was one thing even louder. Rushing over to the edge of the chateau you look at the island bathed in light so you can hear it better. The citizens all came out of their homes to behold the display with their own eyes. Their amazement and adoration of their benevolent queen rings in your ears.

"Mama-mama!"
A pair of thunderous footsteps shakes the ground as they approach you.
"A whole country chanting your name! Isn't it marvelous?"

"Yeah."

"This is the point Silver. Not treasures. This! These people either don't know what to do with themselves or they get exploited by the Government. We might as well rule them since we know what's best for them. And if they resist? Well they obviously don't want everyone else to be happy. So they are evil and won't be missed."

"Thanks Big Mom! I'll remember that. And thanks for the party too! It was fun."

"Oh it was my pleasure! It's been so long since I could talk with someone who understands and I knew you would. Even my children are too soft to get it. They were born into a good life."
Mama then pats you on the head repeatedly.
"But enough seriousness for now. You must be tired after all that fun. I'll have a suite arranged for you so you can go back to Fish-man Island tomorrow all refreshed!"

I mean jokes aside that /is/ kinda what Silver wants. Not the implied safety of course, he couldn't give less of a fuck about that, but the idea that he has a place to hang his proverbial hat.

Such a thing is just another piece of being an actual person.

Well, Lola did screw over Big Mom pretty bad. So I can’t blame her for wanting her dead.

That doesn't excuse her beating the piss out of her other daughter just for looking the same.

I wouldn't say it excuses her wanting to kill Lola either though. Mainly because I'm not a turbo egomaniacal retarded humongous fat woman.

She's too weak to be the pirate king anyway. A pointless ambition.

As a wise man once said "fear the ones who grow old in a dangerous profession."

If she doesn't have the /personal/ strength to grab the crown that doesn't discount the legion of powerful fuckers she literally raised from birth. Never discount the crew no matter how crazy the captain may be.

And lets not forget this bitch rode the waves with Rocks and that crew included her, Whitebeard, and Kaido, with even more batshit crazy fuckers on the side. You dont ride with a squad like that and still be a bitch when you get out.
>>
>>5013128
>>Thanks Big Mom!

>>5013156
I don't mind the sentiment, but that sounds really... exposition'y?
>>5013245
Welcome to royalty, treason is treason and any crack in the reputation of invincibility will send the vultures circling... It's the price to pay for a peace enforced via the threat of overwhelming violence. Silver will learn that lesson as well, eventually.

Besides she also cozied up to Goofy so, eh, clearly Lola has a track record of terrible life choices.
>>
>>5013581
A wise man knows that often times cowards are the ones who live the longest lives. I know she ain't a coward

But having a strong crew means you're only pirate king for as long as you can control them. Which for an old hag probably isn't as long as she hopes. Of course she's selfish enough to not actually care about her legacy so I guess that's a moot point.

But ultimately she isn't capable of being pirate king. Even if she had got the giants. She's just the wrong person for the job. I'm sure all of the Yonko barring Whitebeard are lacking something necessary to truly make it. BB's probably the closest one but he'll still lose in the end I'm sure.

>>5013583
Yeah alright Cronos.
>>
Now I'm imagining Silver using Ikoku Sovereignty
>>
"YAWN! Yeah. I'd like that. Thanks Big Mom! Thanks for showing this to me. Pirate Kingdom. Kek!"

"Oh it was MY pleasure!"

You decided to take her up on her offer and as the party started to peter out and the guests withdrew one by one you did the same thing. Surprisingly Jinbe also followed suit but he did not seem too thrilled by the idea. Perhaps he's just being polite since you came here together. Regardless one of Big Moms henchmen escorts you down into bowels of the chateau which is good since you'd get lost in here very easily. Since this one building is bigger than some cities you've been to. You don't go too far down before your guide points you to a big double door and says that this will be your suite for the night. Jinbe then gets escorted further down a couple flights of stairs.

"Erm. Where is he going?"

"Mama said you get this one. He'll be accommodated on a lower level with the other guests."

"Oh-kay. Where is the bathroom?"

"There is a spa in your suite. And if you need anything else just ring the bell on the nightstand and the homies will come to you. I'll also be standing guard here should you need me."

"Why?"

"Assassins. Mama doesn't like her guests killing each other."

"Ah. You can sleep then. I don't need guards."

"Thank you sir."

The droopy guy gets a tiny stool which he can sit on and uses his spear for support so he can sleep comfortably. Meanwhile you enter the big room and get greeted by dozens of homies. They all say "Good Evening Master" in unison and start pestering you about how they can serve you. This is gonna be a long night. The living furniture then annoys you until they manage to take off your clothes and push you into a bathtub while they sing a little musical number. You try to fight them off but it's much easier when it's only Ann and maybe Lyda who try to get you to bathe. But when everything in the bathroom is animate from the tub itself to the soap and shampoo it's impossible to hold all of them back. By the end you feel disgustingly squeaky clean and smell like inoffensive perfume. You almost feel sickened by the lack of brine on your hair and skin or how you slide into the silken pajamas they gave you without any friction. It's like you're wearing nothing at all. You almost loose your mind when you spot the homies washing your clothes but decide to go to bed instead.

However you DO loose it when you realize that at any given point there are at least three pairs of eyes on you at all times. The bastards even alternate their watch so they don't get too tired. You toss off the sheets and give them a shout.
"I WANT TO SLEEP!"
After that you no longer feel any eyes on you and so you can finally sleep soundly.

The next morning a pair of heavy steps walk down the hall to your room.
"What is the meaning of this? How dare you call for me?"

"O-Oh Mama! Big trouble! L-Look! Y-Your guest, h-he-"

"Huh?"
Mama looked at the door behind the guard. The doorknobs were homies. Emphasis on were. By the time the guard woke up the cute little creatures were turned into dried up, shrunken husks. Where there were pairs of lively eyes now were dead, hollowed out sockets. The guard opened the door quietly and urged Big Mom to look inside.

"I-It's the same in there! The homies are all dead! W-What should we do?"
Mama slowly closes the door and quickly grabs the guard by the throat.
"URK! M-MAMA?"

"Mama-Mama! I will do nothing. And you will not speak of this to anyone!"

"Y-Yes of course I will! Whatever you sa-"

The man would not fininsh his sentence before Mama ripped his soul out of him while laughing to herself. Keeping the lifeless corpse in one hand she uses the other to sprinkle bits of his life essence into the room. With the recharge the homies returned to life unaware of the change.
"Return to your duties homies. And do not annoy him again!"

"Yes Mama!"
The knobs responded cheerfully and shared the orders with the others inside.

Mama then touched the door affectionately.
"Sleep well my little monster! Take your time. Grow. Mature! But hurry up! I want things to go back the way they should be. With the whole world as our oyster where not even the gods dare descend from their nest!"

About an hour later you awake refreshed and reenergized. Or at least you would be if the fucking furniture did not start singing again. The curtains open on their own and the alarm clock next to you erupts in a song.
"Good morning! Good morning! It's such a lovely-"

BLAM

Your fist crushing it into scrap shuts up the other homies. Yawning you get up and move to your clothes. Like you they too have been washed and as you put on your suit it crumbles into tatters in your hands. You take a deep breath and calmly speak up.
"DID YOU CLEAN MY STUFF? God... damn it. The blood and dirt was the only thing keeping it together. Sigh. I guess I'll ask Ann for a new one. I hope I can convince her to make me a long coat like those marines have. Gotta have something cool written on it. Like... "Unjustice". Yeah!"

With only your shirt you leave the suit and look for the guard but only find the stool he was sitting on. Guess he got up and left. But this leaves you in quite a pickle since you don't really know how to navigate this place. You think about going back for that bell he mentioned before to ask for some homies to guide you but mid thought you hear voices coming from a bit further down the hallway.

"Pant! Pant! Last one there is a rotten egg!"

BONK

You're too lost in thought and they are looking behind their shoulders to notice you so the inevitable happens and they headbutt you. Both your bodies hit the rug with a loud thud and you start rubbing your heads. With your eyes spinning in a spiral you start muttering to yourself as they get back on their feet.

"B-Big Sis I'm coming home."

"Ow ow ow. What the hell was that? A biscuit soldier? Huh?"
The person who rammed into you looks at the big open doors of the VIP suite. They look down and see you lying dazed on the floor and they get up to point a weapon at you.
"A thief? Mama's gonna be love this!"

As they raise their scythe your instincts kick in and you snap back to reality fast enough to kick the farming equipment away and roll to the side so you can get up faster.
"Oy what's the big idea?! Huh?"
Finally seeing the one who so rudely tackled you gives you a sense of confusion. It's just a regular girl in some colorful clothing wielding a scythe. Weird choice of weapon aside she doesn't look any different from the average joe's and joette's you can see in town.

"Save your breath little burglar! I'm taking you to Mama!"


"Hey! I didn't take nothing! If anything you guys owe me a new suit!"

"What?"

As things are about to go from ugly to uglier the quaking homies of the room start desperately crying out for the girl to stop.
"Miss Nutmeg stop! H-He's not a thief but Mamas guest!"

Her eyes narrow on the talking doorknob.
"Is that true?"

"YES!"

She looks back at you before twirling her scythe and setting it down.
"Oh okay. Sorry, my mistake. It's just that this place is usually never used. Guess you must be the kid of someone important. But it makes sense that you don't know who I am if you're not from here. I'm Nutmeg!"
She extends her gloved hand and you shake it.

"My name is Silver. And I'm nobodies kid."

"What? Everybody is somebodies kid."

"Not me. Mama invited me to the Tea Party so I came."

Nutmegs jaw almost drops as she stares at you.
"Nope. That's totes not real. Mama and Brother Peros are very strict about that. No kids under 18 allowed. And what are you... 14? 15?"

"I guess I'm 16. And I was there. Gave Big Mom a gift and everything."

"Wait. You're not joking?"
She looks at the doorknobs who shake their heads vigorously.
"Wow. That's something else! We tried sneaking in there once and we got a spanking for it!"

"We?"

Suddenly more people arrive from the hallway, all exhausted.
"Pant, pant! It's not fair Nutmeg if you get a head start! Huh?"
Four girls show up. They all wear the same outfit, face and have the same voice as Nutmeg but all are slightly different in build and hairstyle.
"Who's that?"

"Ooooh I bet it's her boyfriend!"
They start talking and giggling among each other.

"No he isn't. And if he was I'd at least have one. Anyway he's one of Mamas guests. Says he was at the Party yesterday."

"Pffft. This twerp?"

"No way!"

"Yeah that's what I said but apparently it's true."

"Ooooooooh~"
"Ooooooooh~"
"Ooooooooh~"
"Ooooooooh! I know! Why don't we invite him? Then he can tell us all about it!"
The tallest one whose hair is in her eyes speaks up.

"Not a bad idea Harumeg! Hey we're about to go outside to play on the streets! Wanna come?"

"Games? I like games."

"Then it's decided. Now we just hafta wait for the idiots-"
Suddenly five more people crash into the crowd. Five almost identical looking boys with pink outfits and blue-ish purple hair wielding the same scythes as the girls.
"And speak of the devil."
>>
"Owowow. Hey! What's the hold-up? We're gonna play or what?"
One of the smaller ones adjusts his hat and looks at the source of the commotion.
"Oho what's this? Nutmeg finally got a boyfriend?"

"Oooooooh!"
His brothers all gasp in a mocking tone.

"Nope. You can have him Newgo."

"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHH!"
The brothers, you presume, have gone wild from that comeback.

"Shit. Walked right into that one! But for real though, who's he?"

"He says he was at the Tea Party. I told him he can come with us if he tells us about the party."

"Oh yeaaaah. Brother Peros said something about some kid who was there. I also recall him having more wrinkles than usual. A'ight your majesty! Let's see what you got. And if you can keep up!"

The little guy then simply jumps out the window followed by his male and female siblings one after another. Well it's technically the fastest way down but given that this place is taller than a mountain it's also not the safest. Right before landing the kids kick the air a few times to slow their fall before gently touching down on the ground.

"Heh! Let's see the rich boy make that!"

"Wait... nobody picked him up?"

"He's your boyfriend Nutmeg! We thought you had him."

"Ugh! So now I have to jump back up? Laaame-"
You gently tap her on the shoulder.
"WAH!"

"Hi."

Nutmeg looks up then back at you.
"You need to wear a cowbell. I didn't even hear you land."

"That's because I got here first."

"But you... came after us."

"Yeah. But you all slowed down before landing. I caught up then. Also that was the Cheese Pizza technique no?"

"Oh you mean Geppo? Yeah we copied the moon walk from the marines. You should see the look on their faces when they realize a bunch of kids can use it while most of them can't. It's so funny!"

"Alright enough chit-chat!"
Newgo swings his scythe over his shoulder.
"We're playing or what?"

"Right. We'll be playing street hockey. You can play or be the judge. Your choice."

"Psh. Yeah. But if you're playing you'll be with the girls! They're gonna loose anyway but with you at least they have an excuse!"
Newgo laughs at you.

You crack your neck and shoulders.
"Alright! Come on!"

"No."
Nutmeg sighs and shoves her scythe in your hand.
"Do you even know how to play? Alright hold this. No not like that! It's not a broom! Were you raised in a shed?"

"Yes..."

"Argh fine!"
She moves your hands around the shaft and adjusts your posture a bit.
"There. You hold it like this and swing this way to hit the puck with the flat side. Now do you know how to play?"
You shake your head."
"Tch. Alright. You got two teams. You'll be with Akimeg, Allmeg, Harumeg and Fuyumeg. Newichi, Newji, Newsan, Newshi and Newgo will be the other team. You both have a goal and you want to hit this puck into the opponents. Oh and it might look delicious but don't eat it. Brother Cracker makes us those because everything else breaks when we play with it. So try not to hit any buildings with it or we'll get yelled at. Any questions?"

"Yea. What's with your names?"

"Seriously? Sigh. Mama always always came up with two names when she had a baby. One if it's a boy and one if it's a girl. Usually she just comes up with more if the kids don't come out right but we are Decuplets."

"Wuh?"

"Ten-twins."

"OOOOOOOOH!"

"Yeah. She picked the names Nutmeg and Newshi for us. But when ten of us popped out she couldn't be bothered and just named us all Meg or New and was done with it."

"Ah. So you're the biggest sister!"

"No. I'm the fourth."

"Wuh?"

"There was ten of us. She got mixed up. Stuff happens. God you couldn't even pretend you're from here rich boy! Alright do you have any more dumb questions or can we start playing?"

"Hmmmm. No. I don't have any more."

"Finally. Alright everyone to your positions! I'll be the judge so no foul play! That means you Newgo!"

"Heheh. Alright guys! Let's show mister rich boy how pirates play!"
Newgo tries to get his brothers riled up but he bursts out laughing as he looks at you.
"PFFFFFFFFT! Are you guys seeing this? Look! He's twirling Nutmegs scythe around like a cane! Quick take it away from him before this idiot kills himse-"

As you keep swinging the scythe back and forth like a swing you pull it back until it's pointing upward then let it fall backwards and swing it as hard as you can. Hitting the hard as steel biscuit in front of you with the spine of the scythe you shoot it forward. Like a bullet fired from a gun it whistles as it flies past Nutmegs sisters and brothers and goes for the net of the boys. Newgo is the goalie and he has to stop his laughing and raise his hand to stop the puck from scoring. He manages to grab it with his bare hands but it's still spinning in his palm and when it stops it crumbles to dust. You see an actual bead of sweat rolling down his forehead.
"Oyoy. Since when do princes get fed steroids as a baby?"
>>
You check the scythe out a little more before setting it down like a hockey stick.
"Eh. Not really my grove. I'm a sword and gun boy. Also why do you think I'm a noble?"

"Dude you're wearing suit pants, a shirt, a vest and look like you're ready for a ball dipshit!"

"Thank your dumb homies. I'm a pirate!"

"Oh? You hear that bros? He's a pirate! Heh! Then we can play normally! Advanced rules time! No hitting each other, no destroying homes and if you destroy or loose the puck you loose. Capiche?"

Meaning everything else is fair game.
"Ye!"

"Nutmeg!"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HmNBmBIO9U

The girl smiles and throws a second biscuit in the air. Her brothers and sisters look up with eyes focused on it.
"SORU!"

Your legs transform as you activate Zephonim to keep up with them. The boys are the one who catch the puck first and they use a combination of their geppo and soru to move through the entire city in an effort to loose you. One of the girls stays behind to guard your goal and the rest of you give chase. They jump and pass the puck between the buildings for maximum confusion as they keep flying all over the place. Most of the islanders seem to know what's happening and they aren't happy about this but you are. This FEELS right!

"Newichi!"
Newgo calls for his brother and prepares to pass the puck over to him but you pull a little sneaky one on him. Throwing Nutmegs scythe forward you transform into a regular bat and follow after it. With your smaller frame you can fly between cracks that are otherwise inaccessible and manage to steal the objective of the game as it was passed along.
"What?!"

"Keke! Hey you! Go high!"
You pass the cracker to Fuyumeg who catches it and launches the thing in the sky. With the Zephonim you jump after the puck and when high enough you give it a downward smack with the scythe. The tiny biscuit you launched becomes a red-hot meteorite as it flies straight for their goal. Newsan who was left there to guard the net jumps out of the way of the flaming projectile out of pure fear and you score a goal. To your utter shock the goal did not deteriorate upon contact.

"Whoah. That's one tough net."

"H-Holy shit-"
Nutmeg glares at you before clearing her throat.
"I-I mean yeah of course it is. Brother Peros made it for us out of candy string. But never mind that. How did you do that?"

"Devil Fruit."

"Oh. Yeah that makes sense."

Oh yeah, quick question, if we did let Smoothie juice Silver, would he taste like the most vile, toxic, poisonous shit to ever pass her lips?
>>
>>5013838
It... would've been poisonous to some extent. Not the heart rupturing, liver shutting down, nervous system degrading kind. More like the you'll get diarrhea for the next couple days kind. But she can literally juice herself to squeeze out the toxin from her body.

No. It would've been the thickest, most concentrated gravy like juice she ever tasted which tasted a little bit like everything but mainly cheese. To the point that she'd expand a little bit and crush the bartable she was sitting on. Perospero would've almost choked on it.

"Wanna see it?"
With a poof you disappear and Nutmeg wonders what just happened until she hears your voice coming from below.
"Here!"

Her siblings start appearing as she looks down and they start wondering what she's looking at. There is about a 50/50 split between them where half think it's impressive and the other half think it's lame.
"Just a zoan? I expected more."

"Ew a bat ew ew ew!"

"Hey! How did you do all that crazy stuff? Come on tell us!"

"I-I don't know he looks kinda cute."

Once everyone gets it out of their system they tell you that one of them also ate a fruit but it's a paramecia and not something they like to just show off because it's weird and dangerous. You don't mind and ask them if they want to play another match instead. They agree and you have some more fun with the twins and what might be the first time ever you can finally let loose, kick about and play with others to your hearts content. You feel strangely happy about it. Even moreso after they brought you a juicebox so you can drink with them once everyone had their fair share of fun. They finally got around to asking you about the tea party and you were happy to oblige them. If they were still skeptical about your attendance this surely convinced them.
"Hey hey! Is it true some guy managed to sneak a bomb in?"

"I don't know about sneak. He ate the bomb and walked in that way."

"AHAHAHHAHA! And all that so he'd get his ass kicked by big bro Katakuri! HAH! Idiot!"

"Kekeke! Yeah he was pretty dumb!"

You all exchange a good little laugh and then Nutmeg speaks up.
"You know you're pretty alright Silver!"

"Yeah! We usually can't talk with anyone outside out family. It's good to make some new friends!"

Hearing that makes you feel happy but-
"Why?"

"Hmmm? Cause we're Charlottes. That's why. You're a little bit slow aren't you? Everyone hates or fears us. Usually both."

Harumeg nods.
"Mmmm. Everyone runs away if we try to talk to them. Or if they don't they usually want something from us."

"Yeah! Do you have any idea how many times guys were nice to Harumeg only for us to find out they only wanted to use her to get closer to Mama? Heck, all of us can say the same thing."
Newgo responds with a smirk.
"But we're a family. So if we find one of those we just corner the bastard and beat them senseless!"
You nod in agreement. Finally someone gets it!

"Alright I think that's enough talk about family. I'm going to get some more juice. What do you say Silver one more game after that?"

"Eh."
You look up at the sun.
"I think it's about time I find Jimbo. He and my pet crab must be worried about where I've gone. But I'll take the juice!"

"Okay."
>>
>>5013852
>You LIVE like this?!
>>
As Nutmeg leaves her siblings question you a bit more.
"Say Silver you did not mention why you came to Mamas party. You wanna join us by any chance?"

"No. Why?"

"Oh. Well if you were we could've had more fun in the future. Our older siblings usually dismiss us as "still kids" and the younger ones aren't tough enough to play with us yet. The only ones who are our age are Mascarpone and Joscarpone but they are snobby buttholes who think they are so much better than us because they hit 18-"

"What kind of names are those?"

"Yuen is not fun because he keeps kicking our asses. Nougat is an edgelord and Pudding is not good at these games. So it's good that we can have someone new!"

"Well I just came because Big Mom invited me so we don't have to fight. But I can still come and visit I guess. We can play then!"

"No. Sadly not. You either have to come live here or join Mamas crew if you want to still be a pirate. That's how that works."

"Why?"

"Because if you come here you can't leave or mama kills ya."

"Well I'm gonna."

"Yeah but that was a tea party. If you enter the island regularly you can't leave. You either have to become a citizen or join the crew."

"Well I'm still gonna."

"Whatever smoothbrain. Try it next time we'll see what happens. On second thought don't. You're fun enough that it'd be upsetting if Mama killed you."

"Thanks!"

As you continue chatting with the other twins however a scream hits your ears and you all spring up at the same time. Rushing over to the source of the voice you find Nutmeg with a bunch of juiceboxes scattered on the ground and a rather ugly and fat individual grabbing her by the neck and holding a knife to her throat.
"F-Finally! I got one of Big Moms kids! Now I can finally- Hey! Stop squirming! Stop iiiit! Stop or I'll cut your pretty little face open you hear me?"

"NUTMEG! You fat ugly bastard!"
The twins growl.

You look at the guy threatening your new friend and feel a familiar feeling bubbling to the surface. Hate. Yes I suppose it's been a while since someone soured your mood. A day or so. You wonder when if ever will the time come that people learn not to piss you off. Glaring at the man with all your malice behind it manages to get his attention.
"O-Oy what's with that look? Didn't ya hear me? Back off!"

"What are you doing to Nut? You'll pay. Don't move a muscle."

As the words leave your mouth the guy freezes in place. He can't even gasp much less talk. And as his muscles stiffen Nutmeg notices the opening and takes her chance. She clads her elbow in armament and rams it in the guys side, breaking his hanging rib with an audible crack. She then wrenches herself out of his hold before uppercutting his jaw with a reinforced fist. He still can not move but he can feel pain and his eyes are now just about ready to pop out of their socket. Nutmeg runs back to your group as her captor is leaking all kinds of fluids now. She looks at you and raises a question.

"Did you do that?"

"No. He did. I just told him to."

"I didn't need the help! But thanks anyway. I swear I'm not taking a step outside again without my scythe!"

"Here Nut-"

"Thanks Fuyu!"
She catches her scythe and swings it over her shoulder.
"Can you release him?"

"Sure. You can move."

The guys muscles unstiffen and he collapses on the ground. Holding his chest he curls up in the fetal position and begins sobbing.
"Alright. It's not good enough if he can't scream!"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Yp7fY5x3Dc

"Heh. Hehehe. Well boys and girls it looks like the public is getting a bit boorish again. They are forgetting their place! What do you say we remind them?"

"Teeheeheeheeheeheeheehee!"

"Heheheheheh!"

The twins are all starting to giggle and laugh like maniacs as their expressions darken. They either start tapping their scythes against their shoulders or drag it behind themselves as they walk up to the man. The fat man who must've suffered some serious internal damage to not be able to move at all looks up and becomes even more terrified than he was when you glared at him.
"P-Please! I just wanted to leave! I swear I won't do that again! J-Just let me-"

"HAH!"
One swing across the cheek from Nutmeg and his jaw starts dangling as it's barely held in place by what little muscle remains there. The children surround him and their giggling intensifies. They then start meting out the mans punishment with obvious joy. He was disarmed, disemboweled and cut to tiny chunks by ten teenagers who repeatedly slammed their scythes into him. When they were done the Decuplets nailed what chunks were still identifiable to a nearby wall. There was no message left for people to find. It is clear enough as is. This crude matter that once used to be a person crossed the Charlotte family. And the same fate awaits all those who'd try again.

If he wanted to leave why the fuck did he think taking one of the Big Mom kids hostage would work?

Barring the fact they could just ice his ass from a distance the moment he let her go free if he kept her as a hostage they would have hunted him down.

Hell even barring all that Big Mom has Hommes in basically every fucking thing on the island. He couldn't take a ship because even the wood in this place is loyal to /her./

I mean for fucks sake there are people here now that were leaving after the party, did he not think to stowaway on one of /their/ ships, or pledge allegiance to their crews?

At this point I'm hard pressed to consider this anything but a very drawn out suicide.

Also those teenagers were selfish, I thought we were friends. They didn't even let us get a hit in. I'm tired of getting blueballed dammit ⋋_⋌
>>
>>5013938
Bloodthirsty anon pls, we don't need to be literally always killing. Still though I really want to get through the training arc so we stop having shit armament so we don't randomly get totally fucked by a random logia later on.
>>
>>5013940
Basically I don't want a second banana man incident, because that sucked.
>>
>>5013938
Not sure you know how the island and "taxation" works but he has no ways to leave anyway and he's a cornered rat that REALLY wants to leave. So he'd kidnap one of her kids in the vague hope that he could maybe bribe her to let him go. And stowing away? On ships belonging to prominent members of the underworld? Might be a worse fate than staying
>>
>>5013941
Yeah but it was a pounding we learned from. Any fight you can walk away from and use as an opportunity to plot revenge is, well, not a win, but it ain't a loss either.
>>
>>5013951
You'd think he'd be smarter then to kidnap one of them right in front of a massive horde of them though, seems like a bad idea all around.
>>
>>5013951
I'm taking from the quotations that it ain't money. Also yeah that's fair, but being a cornered rat is no excuse for taking a tiger cub by the tail and saying it's your hostage to a pack of like 80 bigger tigers.
>>
>>5013953
The ork method of thinking. If you managed to get away they didn't beat you. And if you die then it doesn't matter so you didn't lose then either.
>>
>>5013953
Oh I agree, I just really don't want a repeat of that and the best way for that is get gud because if we get that messed up again we might not escape next time and to impel down we would go, which would suck.
>>
>>5013958
Noooooooo. No it is not
There is also another tidbit I forgot to mention so I'll just put both here in spoilers
It's life. One month of your life every six months. You pay or leave. And if you pick leave you die. If you try to escape you also die because the waters around Tot Land are FILLED with sea slugs that report any unauthorized entries or exits. Meaning they KNOW. And they WILL hunt you down. Tot Land is a trap. Anyone can enter and live there happily. Nobody can leave. And it gets worse...

Still beats becoming a slave to one of those bubble headed fuckers though, or getting your island glassed by Akinu, or getting wrecked by Kaido's crew, or all the other horrible shit that goes on in the New World.

I'm sorry to say Anon, but we're always going to have a comparably shite armament compared to observation/conquerers if only because literally everyone failed to his the target number, even well beyond the first three that officially count. Justgotta find a way to work around it.

Also Ten-Twins: "Everyone's afraid of us cause we're Charlottes"

Truly we have found likeminded fools.

IF YOU SLAP AND KICK IT HARD ENOUGH IT'LL GO AWAY

Just hit it harder. This is a very simple apply more gun scenario. How's the ocean gonna stop you if you can kick the water hard enough that the surface tension is enough for you to jump hundreds of feet into the air?

Yes it is so simple. Just swim harder.

Once the guy is displayed out in the open for all to see like a public trophy the twins take a step back looking like they just came from helping their uncle with his work whose profession is butcher. They clearly enjoyed themselves during that but now that the fun is over it's time to get serious once more.

"Ew! I almost got some of that pigs blood in my mouth!"

"Yeah totally. And I don't think the stink is coming out of our clothes anytime soon!"

Nutmeg tries to clean herself off as much as possible, for which her siblings mock her but she doesn't pay them too much attention.
"Sorry you had to see that. That's just how things go around here."

"Hmmm no. I don't care. I'm only bummed out that you finished before I could join."

"E-Eh? Usually people get freaked out by that."

You thump your chest.
"Pirate remember?"

"Heh. I guess you really are."
She looks down at the ground but her face distorts and she becomes mortified.
"Oh nooo! The juice! Who stepped on it? Allmeg you clumsy cow!"

"Nuh-uh not me!"

They all start pointing fingers at each other and accuse everyone but themselves of being the culprits. They can't know you drank it all while they were busy chopping up that fat bastard!
"Erm. I think I should gooooo-"

"Wait! Before you go I need to ask something. When erm, er- nevermind."

"What?"

"Nothing. It's just... you're fun. And you're not at all creeped out by us I guess. So you're the exact kind of psycho that'd enjoy living here. And you know if you ignored our earlier warnings and did come back I uh wouldn't mind hanging out with you and maybe helping you settle in. Y'know. If you feel like it."

>Hey. Dummy. I'll come and visit. And I'll leave after like I said

I think most chicks just don't compute simplistic truths. A dude can say "I don't like tomato." so she thinks he's totally into tomatoes and doesn't want to admit it and she has to find out why. It's a doublethink into convincing themselves that the honest simple guy is hiding more than he lets on.

Meanwhile on the opposite side of the spectrum, dudes be thinking "She said it's fine, so we're square.". Just different creatures.

"Hey dummy! I'll come back like I said. And I'll leave again like I said. I'll ask Big Mom if I have to. Maybe next time I won't come as a pirate but as a friend!"
The look she gives you says she doesn't believe you. Yet her heart-rate says she wants to.
"Just you wait! Alright now where could I find Jimbo... MARAUDER!"

You turn into a bat and fly back up to the top of the chateau while the twins discuss you behind your back.
"Wow that was pretty lame wasn't it?"

"Yeah but also pretty cool no?"

"How can you be lame and cool at the same time? It doesn't make sense."

After getting back your pet crab you go back down to the ground floor and you encounter a VERY angry Jinbe there who grabs you by the ear and starts yelling your head off.
"WHERE DID YOU GO? WE SHOULD'VE DEPARTED AN HOUR AGO! INSTEAD WE WERE SEARCHING FOR YOU!"

"WELL YOU CLEARLY DIDN'T SEARCH HARD ENOUGH!"

"HOW IS THAT AN ARGUMENT?!"

"Ahem. If you both are quite done-bon we should really get going-soire. Mama may be fine with this development but I still have a schedule to follow."

"My apologies. Let's go brat. Gods above I can not believe an irresponsible person like you is the one on whose shoulders the fate of my people rests. I can not imagine what Murray must be going through with you each and every day."

"Feeling sorry for him?"

"No. I'm just starting to understand his point. What the hell were you doing anyway?"

"Making friends."

"Well. At the very least I hope they are good friends."

"Yeah."

After that little argument you were transported back to the port of Wholecake Island where Tamago returned your weapons to you and together with Jinbe you boarded the Big Mama Chanter en route towards Fish-man Island. As you look back at Tot Land you see the sugary syrup turn back into water and you let out a sigh. So this is what the New World has in store for you. Fun!

Gigafaggots like that Ohara guy were blaming him that "it was confusing and not clear enough"

I have no idea what happened because I stay the fuck away from social networks but I'm assuming people were saying Yamato was trans because of the whole 'son' and 'I am Oden' thing? If so that's retarded, she's got big ol' titties and it's not like militant types in anime treating their daughters like sons is a rarity, and she's never expressed any desire not to be a woman beyond ME ODEN which is kinda getting annoying imo and I hope she stops once she sees Momosuke.

>>5017480
Yeah I agree, though personally I think it's more because he's a new character and all of a sudden he's connected to everything. If he'd been mentioned at all before Zou it would've been much less jarring, this way it just feels like a fanfic character who was inserted into the story and now everything revolves around him.
Pic related would be the best thing ever tho.

>>5017502
Kinda Raizo'd me, but that's not even my biggest issue with it, he needed someone who could read the road poneglyphs

was it wano that creates both the poneglyphs and the seastone shit?

Yes and no. They made the poneglyphs and they are the ones who are best at working with seastone so they can produce small and delicate stuff like nails and bullets

I think the technique for working with seastone also originates there, though it has obviously spread by now.

>>5017684
So not good, but could have been a whole lot worse.
That's always something, take care mate.
>>
>>5017502
I mean, not really

Whitebeard and Roger were friendly rivals, and he considered his crew his family, if he betrayed them, then I could see Whitebeard killing Oden, but not only was the leave supposed too be temporary, but Oden himself only went because he told him he had a feeling he would miss something out if he didn't go. Even then he was still miffed. But never too the point of hating Oden

Also, Roger needed him because he couldn't Read the Poneyglyphs, something that solely Oden had as a skill in both crews, which Whitebeard didn't need. That was his reasoning, its not like he was some godlike Oc Roger sung praises for.

Finally, it was easily foreshadowed with two of his retainers being on both crews, why else would they be if their Leader wasn't jumping Ship.

And again, Oden was supposed too rejoin after those 3 years, he just finally realised he needed too take responsibility for his country. He even let Whitebeard keep Izo because he noticed how much happier he was there.
>>
Man every time I hear about wano it just sounds like a worse and worse arc, and I had dropped one piece right after dressarosa with dofflamingo being a dumb villain and everything being dragged all to hell.
>>
>>5018019
I liled Doffy as a villain. Just an orredeemable shit with some interesting details. But yeah Dressrosa dragged out far longer than it had any right to.

However Wholecake Island might have been the best arc so far. Long as shit but it never got stale like Dressrosa. Even Wano has good shit in it.... but like an anon said it topped being a pirate manga and became a samurai one. Every time the focus is on the actual pirates it's GREAT. The Straw Hats, the Worst Generation and the Beast Pirates are a ton of fun. But these swordniggers just keep hijacking the story and inserting themselves in the lore where they have no right being.
Imaginge Kyros without being based and thinking this is his story and sidelining the protagonists. That's why I REALLY learned to hate the Wano people and praise Sigma male Orochi
>>
>>5018239
Idk I might pick one piece back up to catch up again eventually, but probably not until the shit that is wano is over, so it will be a while.
>>
I honestly like Wano arc besides the Oden wank, it had some interesting stuff and good lore, and with how long it's been getting teased and foreshadowed it was clear it would be a long arc with a lot of important shit happening. Though I did read 2 years worth of backlog in 2 days, so it probably dragged on way more for the people who waited for a new chapter every week.

Also I know it won't happen but imagine if Zoro finished Kaido with that huge-ass Katana embedded in Onigashima.


Also Ulti is a Smoothie-tier "love her design but is an irredeemable bitch" and Kiku is best girl change my mind

She also loves her Pay Pay very much. So she's nowhere near Smoothies level

Don't get me wrong Ulti is adorable but she's kind of a sociopath, only really waifu material if you're Pay Pay and into that. And I'm pretty sure Smoothie loves some of her siblings as well.

And Kiku's a Woman at heart, remember?

>>5018448
Just realized we talked about buttmad tranny lovers earlier this thread so I should probably make it clear I'm mostly just meme-ing.

That said, imo anime traps can more reasonably be considered girls than real life trannies seeing as they're mostly just the author drawing and writing a female and calling her male. Kiku is hella cute and most importantly fictional, so as long as Oda hasn't drawn their penis it doesn't exist

Yeah there's some pretty disturbing stuff with Ivankov if you look at it without the HeeHee Shounen Anime so everything is ok-goggles.

I don't mind Kiku because it isn't shoved down the reader's throat with constant 'but I'm a boy~' stuff, it's mentioned what, once? If you missed that chapter you could just read him as a female samurai, and I like his characterization beyond the whole gender thing. Hope Marco heals him and Kin'emon.

Anyway it's all just personal taste, so let's agree to disagree. On a related topic, when Ulti gets angry, with her mask and all she just looks like pic related to me.

>>5018544

dunno about that one chief, I skipped to the last few chapters of wano in the manga and basically immediately what came to mind when I saw him was "this one's a dude".

>Yeah there's some pretty disturbing stuff with Ivankov if you look at it without the HeeHee Shounen Anime so everything is ok-goggles.

That's probably what makes Ivankov compelling. Dudes a pirate. And a fiend. Which only highlights the fact that he's competent.

After boarding the Big Mama Chanter you were taken back to Fish-man Island without too much trouble. Or rather whatever troubles there were you refused to partake in. Not just that but you outright refused to leave your room for the duration of the journey because they are big boys and should be able to handle themselves and because you'll be caught dead before you spoil the New World for yourself. If the ship sinks that's their problem. In a worst case scenario you'll just fly all the way to the Red Line, over Mary Geoise, to Sabaody and ask someone to coat your body so you can stroll down to Fish-man Island. Regardless you arrive in just a few short days and without any delay Pekoms and Tamago leave the island so they can return to their duties.

"Oooooy! Hello everyone!"
You greet the people waiting for you with a big laugh as you wave around the bags of goodies you brought with you.

"Welcome back Silver. How did it go?"

"Oh it was awesome Jaws! You should've seen it! Food as far as the eye could see, talking objects everywhere! It was like in one of those childrens books!"

"And what about the talk? Did it go smoothly with Big Mom?"

"Hmmmm? Oh yeah sure whatever. Big Mom was super nice! She sent everyone a gift-bag! They are filled with sweets and other goodies! Here!"

"Phew. At least we don't have a giant target painted on us now. But I'm a bit concerned about these "gifts". We should search them for poisons or cameras or-"

"Ah shut up you grumpy ol' sardine! If you don't want it I'll take your share!"

"Are you THIS easy to bribe Marcy?"

"Uuuuuh. Yeah? I mean this is good shit!"

As you watch everyone unwrap their present Jinbe bids you farewell and says he must inform his men of the developments with Big Mom and how they won't have to become her subordinate. You wave him off and try to catch up as everyone starts sampling the assortment of candies, chocolate and other confections.
"Anything happened while I was gone?"

"You were barely away for a week idiot! What do you think happened in that time?"

"I don't know. Cool stuff?"

"N-Not much. Just more ships."

"Aye lad. Just more fools lookin' for trouble. But me thinks the decoration is starting to have an effect. One or two o' them docked. They were shakin' in their boots like autumn leaves while they were here. Little kittens did not dare step out of line Grekikiki!"

"Aside that not much has happened."
Jaws continues.
"Training continued with the ammo knights. Progress is slow but steady. Constructions are going smoothly and so far there haven't been any major incidents between those who lived in the Fish-man District and those who didn't. Hmmmmmmm-"
Murrays expressions sours.

"However?"

"However there are tensions between the slaves of Mary Geoise and the citizens."

"Oh come on! Are they bullying the slaves? Really?+

Gu shakes his head.
"Quite the opposite in fact. The fishfolk are trying to reach out to them but the slaves won't have any of it. They are cold, distant and quite often rude. Many of them refuse aid when offered. If it weren't for me they wouldn't be eating most likely and they still give me odd looks. They might not like the look of my scars."

"Or perhaps they are wary of the chef who'd feed them poison."
Hagetaka gives Gu a condescending look.

"Nonsense! It must be with my queer outfit. I think I'll need a costume which inspires trust in them! Perhaps dressing up as a mascot will help!"

"Yea! Make it a big rat who hands out pizza to children!"

"Good idea William!"
Having heard enough you stand up and start walking away.
"Silver? Where are you going?"

"Stretching my legs. I was stuck in a room for days."

You walk down the streets, greeting many fishfolk along the way to the area where the tents for the slaves were set up. Almost immediately you start noticing odd things that were not here before. Rubble and refuse was turned into a makeshift barricade to keep out unwanted guests and some of them are keeping watch for anyone who'd want to enter. Feeling annoyed you fly over it in your bat form before turning back to human and continuing your walk. The odd things just keep popping up with some people huddled together in big piles while others are doing seemingly random things like cleaning the streets with a toothbrush or balancing on a big red ball or juggling several sharp knives at once. You stop to look around when one of the former slaves snaps at you.

"W-What are you looking at huh? You never seen a man before? Y-Yeah eyes off pal! Nothing to see here!"

You take a few steps forward and he takes just as many back while carefully positioning himself so he never shows his back to you. Sighing you raise your fleshy hand and take the bandages off of it.
"Are you dumb?"

"C-Captain Silver?! I-I'm sorry I didn't, I didn't think-"

"Yeah. You didn't. Now back off."

Leaving him behind you continue to the center where the campfires have been set up. Along the way you get a few more odd looks but you can't afford to get tangled up in every little thing. In the middle of the square you see those who were being sold at the auction house pretty much all sitting around a single fire, just minding their own business.

"Yo."

They pretty much all look up as if they snapped out of the fires mesmerizing effect and the former pirate Dias gives you a salute.
"Captain Silver! It is an honor! What brings you here?"

"I heard you guys were not behaving properly. Do I need to slap someone?"

"N-No that won't be necessary! Please?"

"Then why aren't you guys keeping order? I thought you were taking care of things."

"Well we were but-"

At this Pascia joins in to explain things more calmly.
"But it appears we are not looked at too fondly by the others."
She sighs.
"We tried to keep everyone calm but... but it appears they don't really trust us. So we are being ignored whenever we want to calm them down."

"Why?"

"Because they were slaves to the Tenryubito and we were not. They say we don't understand what they went through and, truth be told we don't. They refuse to listen to what we have to say and now-"

"And now the feeling of freedom has faded. More and more find themselves relapsing. They can't believe or can't accept that they are free and think it's all a big trick from their former masters. Or... they simply can not exist with normal people now. Some just have too much fear in them."
The others lower their heads, signaling that this is indeed true. They appear to be quite devastated by this. But whether because they are powerless now or because they are imagining it could've been them who ended up like that you're not sure.

"Wow. I should've left them up there. Figures. Those who wouldn't fight for their freedom don't deserve it."

"C-Captain Silver you can't be serious!"

"Yeah. I am. It's better to die free than to live as a slave. But not to worry. I'll handle this. Somehow-"

>Go to the slaves and start talking to them. If they can't function on their own you'll give them something to work on
They're used to somebody else controlling them and telling them what to do, let's do that at least so that they can get their shit together
>>
Right, nobody knows what to do without masters cracking the whip, have no access to independent resources or any means of supporting themselves. Free but effectively reduced to beggars, nothing to call their own or take pride in.
We'll need to start rebuilding them as people, however if we simply become the authority figure they'l collapse again the moment we leave. And we will, eventually, leave.

>Inquire more about the situation from Pascia, Dias and the others. How do they see the situation? How do they feel about it
But if we can lend the more active some authority that wouldn't hurt nearly as much in the long run.

But I think a big project will be required, something where everyone can and will see tangible results from... Building a ship, perhaps? Even better as then they'd have to interact with others (outsiders! Hiss!) who have the necessary skills to make it happen... Because in the end, I'd like to see them as pirates, simply because Silver would think that being a pirate is the bestest thing ever and the best way to celebrate, and maintain, their hard won freedom. Wow, that got long. But also yay surprise update! Thoughts?
>>
>>5018765
>Building a ship, perhaps?
I was just thinking about that. What if we have them build a ship that attaches to the dauntless, kinda like pic related?
>>
>>5018735
>Go to the slaves and start talking to them. If they can't function on their own you'll give them something to work on

Tell them they don't need to worry about the Tenryubito anymore, we've killed them before and we'll do it again if they decide to come after them. And even if we fail or aren't there, it's not like their lives could get worse than what they had before - if worst comes to worst, they can just kill themselves before being captured and still be better off. They have nothing to lose, therefore nothing to fear - when you're at rock bottom, life can only go up, as long as you have the will to make it move at all.

>>5018765
Building a ship would be a good idea if only so they're mobile. Not sure if them becoming pirates is realistic or something they would want, but it'd be cool. If they're too peaceful, maybe we can find a nice hidden island in the New World to put them on and start a nation for freed slaves, maybe even get the revolutionaries to keep an eye on them if their OpSec can be trusted.

"Listen up weines you got three options.
1. You stop being a wienie and start fighting to stay free and pull your own weight
2. You don't want to die but you won't fight for your freedom, and i put you on the first ship back to the WG and they decide for you
3. You don't want to fight and you don't want to be a slave again, in which case i will help you out and kill you right now
If you choose 1 my crew and i will help you by putting you to work and beating you up, you will live but nothing will be handed to you. If you puss out halfway you get the choice of option if slave or death again. We clear? Alright line up state your choice and I'll mark it down on your back in crayon. Anybody without a mark by tomorrow I'll assume chose 3" it's essentially the choice Silver had when he met eliza

Hell it's almost like a KSBD saga, the broken slave boy taught by a traveling butcher of men who then goes on to directly attack the kings who claim to rule over heaven to show them all that violence is the only language of Lords and those who can not wield it themselves have no right to rule.

And then the fucker decides to /teach/.

It looks oike Silver will be taking charge of the slaves. I shall qrite along those lines

Kill Six Billion Demons.

A webcomic that's basically what you get if you threw Sailor moon, inuyasha, Blame, Berserk, Bleach, half of Dragonball Z post namek a pinch of pre-shippuden Naruto, a dash of Steven Universe, and a touch of lesbian into a pot, boiled it down, froze it solid, sealed it in a cast iron bullet forged from the corpse of Evangelion, had it blessed by both Jesus and Vishnu, and then had it be shot by Gurren Lagann directly into your forehead.

And that still doesn't really do it justice.

A strong, oppressive silence falls down around the campfire as everyone gets lost in introspection, including you. For a while you ponder on the situation but eventually you start grasping it when you remember how it was for you. There were only two things in the world. The chain and everything outside the chain. Things were scary, your captors especially. Their forms always seemed to black out the sun and made them seem draped in shadow, their voice was muddled thunder. Great, imposing. You did not dare to think of yourself as the same as them, you could not hope to understand the deeper meaning behind their words. They gave a command you took it at face value and did as ordered. That way you did not get into too much trouble. You wonder how you'd be if you were plucked out of there, if Eliza simply killed all of them that day. Would you be the same as these guys? Unable to make use of your own freedom? But as you're lost in these thoughts a more fresh memory rears its head.

"This is the point Silver. Not treasures. This! These people don't know what to do with themselves or they get exploited by the Government. We might as well rule them-"

You smile.
"Yes. Big Mom!"

This makes Pascia look up from the fire.
"Eh? You said something?"

"Yes. Remind me. Did you guys want to swear yourself to me?"

She looks nervously at the others who all avert their gaze from the fire and nod.
"Yes! Our homes... may be lost to us. We can not escape the grand line or even go backwards. So if it was possible we'd be honored to repay our debt to you captain!"

"Hmmmmmm. Kek! Then you're in luck!"

"Wait! Does that mean-"

"No devilman. I don't want you weenies ruining my groove. But! I'll give you something else! For you see the answer for our troubles is right here!"
You reach within your front pocket and pull out a small book. It's a bit wrinkly and took a few hits for you but the words in it are good.
"The Bibble!"

"It's called the Bible-"

"YOU DARE QUESTION THE MIGHTY SILVER?! Anyway there was this guy Mossy. He told a big bad guy to let go of his friends or he'll kick his ass! And the king didn't and got his ass whoopped. He took his boys and went on a grand adventure but the boys started misbehaving. This is where we are. So I gotta lay down some rules now!"

"This is so wrong on so many levels-"
Pascia is feeling actual pain from second hand embarrassment.

But you don't care. Instead you locate the closest tent you can see and jump on top of it.
"OY! OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOY!"
The crowd stops what it was doing and looks up to you.
"What the hell is this? No, seriously. Do you guys know who I am? I'm Captain Silver! I'm the guy who worked hard and killed a lot of people so you guys can be here! And you guys are repaying my kindness by wasting it? I think you all don't deserve your new freedom! You can't appreciate it. Maybe it's my fault. I didn't let you work for it. But I'm not sure you would've because you're all a bunch of weenies!"
The slaves are slowly starting to loose their grip on the objects they were holding out of sheer befuddlement.
"The way I see it you can lay down and die right here since even you can manage that, go back to the dragons like good little slaves or... you can start doing something useful."
Reaching into your pockets you hurl some white crayon into the crowd.
"If you want to be someone, make something more then draw fly the skull and bones! Hoist my jolly roger! I'm going to be honest. You will never be pirates. But you can be something ALMOST as good, mine! You have a day to decide. Those that rise with me will learn what it means to be free. Those that don't will sink. Choose."

The silence after your speech gets broken as a chill runs along everyones spine and the slaves practically trample each other over the white crayons. Good. It means they want it badly. Satisfied you jump back to the campfire and smile.
"Kekeke! Success!"

"Incredible Captain! It's like everyone is back to how they were after the raid!"

"I'm aware of the effect I have on people. Anyway I hope I can count on you."

"Of course!"

"Good. Now I know you can belly-dance. How is that? Can you show it to me?"

"Erm? Sure?"

"Yes! Yes! This is perfect! Now how entertaining are the rest of you?"

"Erm... entertaining? How is that important for pirate-"

You smack the devil guy on the head with your bible.
"Pay attention! You weenies wouldn't last in the New World! Doesn't mean you can't be useful!"

"But then... what are we to do?"

"The answers are all in here! This little book! I circled important bits that I liked and wrote notes to them. I think it's time to make one of my dreams come true!"

"Pretty sure that's blasphemy but who are we to judge. So... what's the first step?"

>Nothing. I wanna catch up with my friends first. See ya tomorrow!
>We gotta ask Neptune for help. Big projects need big fishes
>I'll talk with Greki about this and get to work without help. This is pirate business and landlubbers have no place in it!

Basically told them to stop whining and shape the fuck up because if they don't we'll do it for them. Now we're deciding who to ask advice about making a large amount of people do what we tell them to do because while our "smack it with a hammer" level plans work right now this is a more nuanced situation. Yelling at them only started the process.

If they can't manage themselves, they'l be managed in Silver Style. Given a goal, a lifestyle.
Our lifestyle. Because that's the best way to live! Tho I disagree with the "you'l never be pirates" bit there, they will. Once they get a taste for it and come to the realization that they'l be hunted for the rest of their natural lives no matter what.

You look at your watch, forgetting you don't have any and speak up.
"Well I'm gonna go and ask Santa for help. He can help me figuring things out and we'll need his men too. You guys stay here and make sure they don't run out of crayon or paint or whatever."

Leaving the slaves to sort themselves out you seek out Neptune. A few questions to an unlucky Ammo Knight later you know his exact location and fly over there. You find him at a nearby construction site hauling large pieces of coral for the new buildings they are erecting while Shirahoshi is sitting a few paces away waving a tiny flag around to encourage the workers.
"Are you sure I can't help more?"

"Nonsense princess! Your presence makes us work a hundred times harder! What more could we ask for?"
One of the fishfolk respond.

"Ah Silver!"
Shirahoshi then drops her flag and rushes over to you.
"You're back!"

"Yeap! I brought you some fireworks from the surface! We can set them off later but first I wanna speak with your dad."

Neptune then sets down the huge load he was carrying and wipes his brows.
"Phew. That's another one down. Hello Silver. How did your talks with Big Mom go?"

"Good. Mama was very nice! She said we don't have any beef anymore so the island is mine for good!"
Neptune nods in approval. Though he finds it hard to believe someones meeting with a Yonko would be pleasant he's not complaining.
"But anyway aren't you supposed to be ruling right now?"

"The ministers can handle lawmaking and governance. But the people need a leader now more than a monarch. Even if it's a pain in my hip. Anyway you said you want to talk with me-jamon?"

"Yeah! I got a big plan but I need help."

"Whatever it is you just have to name it-"
You jump up on his shoulder and whisper something in his ear.
"What now?"

"Yeap! It is written in here!"
You show him your book.

"Hmmmmm. I need my reading glasses for this one."

"Just the part where I drew a circle!"

"Sodom and... Gomorrah? I don't think I understand."

"Two cities where you could do anything! The best places in the world! That's what I'll do! I'll make a pirate city! We'll build it with the slaves and they can live and work there! Everyone will be welcome and there will be no rules! I could even make a theme park so fish kids don't have to look at shitty Sabaody and can just come there to play!"

"An artificial city? Floating on the water? Is that even possible?"

"Water 7 is not a real island either and it exists!"

"Yes but... how do we build such a thing? I don't think anyone knows how to-"

You jump down on the ground, grab a stick and start drawing shapes and texts from memory. Once done you present it to Neptune.
"Ta-da!"
>>
"What am I looking at?"

"Plans for a big ship. I'm not sure what it does but I know it works!"

"Hmmm. If you say so. But we'd need an inordinate amount of resources for that. I don't think-"

"There's a bunch of wood outside in the water! We can just take it up! And if the marines come sniffing we'll just use their boats for wood! It's a flawless plan!"

"But-"

"Flaw! Less!"

"Sigh. Fine. If you say so. But what do you need me for exactly?"

"You're a king right? Teach me how to king!"

"Ohohoho. That I can not do. But! I can show you how to lead if you're ready to learn!"

"Yeah!"

"Ooooooh! Sir Silver is going to become a proper ruler! How exciting!"

As Shirahoshi starts clapping you start chuckling to yourself. However before you could really feel good about things a knight comes running to his king. He's out of breath but his panting is not due to exhaustion.
"Big trouble! Big trouble!"

"What's wrong soldier?"

"I-I come from the port my liege! A ship has sailed in! And- And-"

When he says who the passengers are Neptunes eyes open wide in disbelief.
"What did you just say?! Silver-"

"I'm on it! Sorry Fishy guess the fireworks have to wait!"
You're a fair bit faster than Neptune or any of his retinue you break off from them and fly straight to the docks where you can already feel trouble brewing. Your boys and girls are already on the scene and by their looks they are a hairs breadth away from simply going forward and unleashing hell. And no wonder since the one, or more generously "ones" they are facing off could be a LOT of trouble.

"Kuhahaha. This is a sight I was not expecting. Where is the famously warm fish-man welcome?"

"It's back the way you came!"
Jaws drops his anchor on the ground and starts swinging it around to make a point. This may be a mistake. As there are precious few captains in the world who could get away with threatening a Warlord, let alone a mere first-mate.

It's at this moment that you drop out of the sky with the grace and calmness of a meteorite and as you swipe away the cloud of dust you speak.
"Yo. You're Crocodile right?"

"Hmmmmmm? Who are you?"

"Boss-"
The black man standing next to him responds.
"That is Cavalier Silver. One of the Supernovas. I believe he's the one who disrupted the trade at Bandera-"

"Oh. Him. Another small fry playing pirate. Adorable."
He looks up at the port masters office where your flag is proudly displayed.
"Did you perhaps claim this island as your own?"

"Yeah."

"Hmmmm. Really now? Well according to my subordinate you did mess with my operations back in the day. If that damnable Strawhat did not mess up my plans I would've had to make an example out of you. Perhaps I should make amends now and teach you a lesson-"

Well lets see:
He has his masterplan foiled by an accidental retard who beat him up
He was locked up on the governments private snuff film studio/prison
And then he had his ass handed to him by just about everyone at Marineford
Then said everyone killed the old guy he wanted to kill to show the world that big Crocodile is back

And now he has someone well deserving of a beating right in front of him... Honestly I'd be surprised if he didn't try to work out his frustrations on us.

You don't need to hear another word. You spring forth with your Shakushi to get between the two of them. Throwing a punch at one of them while giving a kick backwards to the other you hit both Crocodile and his subordinate, making them slide backwards a little bit. Both of them are surprised by the fact that you managed to do this but Crocodile even more so. Meanwhile you scoff because you figured out both of their devil fruits as Croco-boys torso caved in without too much resistance while merely touching the other guy hurt your leg. But they did not get out of this unscathed either, especially the black guy.

"B-Boss-"

Crocodile looks at his associate and sees that his chest is cracked like hard iron that's been broken.
"Stand down Daz."
He touches his own chest.
"Tch. Hasshoken? No. It's slightly different. Don't engage him or he'll destroy your body."

He's trying to play it cool but the pitch of his voice changed slightly. He is also worried.
"Goofy kicked your ass right?"

"Hmmmm? You mean Straw Hat?"

"If he beat you up I'll destroy you. And I won't let you walk away with your head."

"Noted."
He straightens his posture and dusts himself off, the dent on his chest turns into sand and reforms as if nothing happened.
"We won't challenge your authority."

"But Boss-"

"Take a better look at him Bonez. This one is not like Straw Hat Luffy. We have much more to loose than some face. This is not a gamble we shall take."

"Understood."

"So Cavalier. Is that acceptable for you? We'll just restock our supplies and leave as soon as our pose adjusts. In return you'll leave us be. Deal?"

>Deal

You unclench your fist and it makes a nice crackling sound as the tension leaves your fingers.
"Aw not even gonna try? Okay. Yeah you can stay. Be good and you can leave as well."

"Hmph. Fair. But worry not. We'll just purchase some essentials and we'll be on our way. That and dump some extra weight."

"Don't be like that! Any enemy of Goofy is a friend of mine! Stay as long as you want just don't cause trouble."

"I'll take your word for it then."
He waves at his ship and his men get to work.
"But it's good to see that you are more reasonable than that insufferable ape. And now that we buried the hatchet allow me a question. Is what's in the news true?"

"Oh? So you do know me?"

"I read your name. I didn't care enough to look up your face. And now that I'm seeing it I have my doubts. So. Is it true?"

"Yes."

"I see. I'll make sure to remember that the next time I plan to cross you."

You make note of the fact that he said nothing about not crossing you, just that he'll be more careful about doing it in the future. For a moment you look away from him and at his friend to see his reactions. Sadly you don't get much from him as he's currently busy clutching his chest.
"Your pal is not looking so hot there."

"He can take it. He survived much worse than a love tap like that in Impel Down."

"What's that?"

"The prison where the World Government puts those they don't care enough to or can't execute."

"How about you? I hit your logia body as well."

"So you noticed? Yes. Hasshoken is extremely annoying. The vibrations compact my sand, makes it harder to disperse. But don't think that's enough to take me down brat."

"I just thought you could use a doctor as well."

"Hmph. No. We'll live. Besides. You should reserve your medics for him-"

Crocodile points over his shoulder to where his men are hauling something BIG. At first you thought it's some cargo they want to unload, well, maybe it IS exactly that. But it's not any cargo you've ever seen before. It's a man. An extremely large and rather rotund man but a man none the less. He's carried on a large tarp as a stretcher because the next best thing would be a sail for someone his size.
"Him who?"

"That pile of meat there is Gecko Moria."

"GECKO MORIA?!"
Your friends shout.

"A second Shichibukai? You did him dirty I see."

"You misunderstand. That wasn't me."

It's at this moment that none other than the yakuza himself, Jinbe shows up with his arms crossed.
"Hmph. I knew my skin was feeling rough and coarse. Crocodile..."

"You again Jinbe?"

"I live here. Hmmmm? Is that- It can't be!"

So we are making Pluton as our party ride, we have Poseidon in the form of Shirahoshi beside us and we got the blueprints for Uranus from the whirpool poneglyph. Isn't that 3 out of 3 superweapons?

"Moria? What is going on?"

"I found him this way at Marineford. Left to die in an abandoned corner of the battlefield. A sad state for anyone to die in."

"I guess even you can feel sympathy after all. What happened? He reminded you of yourself after Luffy-kun left you one foot in the grave at Alabasta?"

"Watch your mouth Jinbe!"
Crocodile throws a not-so subtle threat but he restrains himself from acting on his impulses.
"Actually I decided to spare his life is because he was muttering some very interesting things while he was on the verge of death. He claims that he was attacked by his own side. That rat Doflamingo ambushed him."

"Hmph. Hardly surprising."

"Correct. But the interesting thing is that apparently the order came from higher up."

"Sengoku? That doesn't sound right-"

"No. Higher."

The fishman freezes and he seems genuinely terrified. The only time you've seen him worry in any capacity was during your meeting with Big Mom.
"Is everything okay Jimbo?"

"No. If a higher authority ordered Morias elimination that could mean any number of things. Kong, the Celestial Dragons or god forbid-"

Jinbe gets lost in thought once more and you give up on nudging him awake this time. Instead you walk up to that Moria guy and see that he's still in quite a sorry state. As if he did not receive any medical attention up until now.
"Did you guys not heal him?"

"Do we look like a pair of nurses to you boy? No. And we couldn't really afford to either. After Marineford the government may have been on the verge of defeat but they were still scouring every inch of the sea for us. So no, we just left him like that. If he dies he dies. That was the idea."

"But that was over a month ago! He's been holding on for that long?"

"Stitches! Be nice and put the guy back together. Without taking bits of him. If he can hold on for life for a whole month he's cool."

"Awww."

"No "awww" I want to talk to him later. Anyway Crocoboy I'll be keeping an eye on you! Don't bother the people here or mess up my plans or I swear!"

"Kuhahahaha! Plans? Yeah, right. I'll make sure not to interrupt your crayon eating sessions."

"Thank you!"

"Er-"

"Just ignore him."
Jinbe taps Crocodile on the shoulder.

The Shichibukai then takes his entourage and start resupplying their own ship for the upcoming journey into the New World. Meanwhile Gecko Moriah is being treated by Lyda so he'll be out of commission for a while now. Because of that you decide to bother Crocodile a bit more while waiting for the pale giant to wake up. You ask him about why he left the Shichibukai and what his plans are now but he's purposefully ignoring you. If that vein on his forehead is any indication he's very much annoyed by your questions. But you do learn from his assistant or friend or whatever he is that apparently Crocodile intended to take over a country belonging to the World Government. For that crime and probably moreso because he got his ass handed to him by a rookie they stripped him of his rank and imprisoned him. He intended to rot in prison for the rest of his life but Luffy freed him alongside most of the worlds worst criminals.

"Tch. Good job idiot!"

"After that we decided to participate in the war and now we are heading for the New World."

"Makes sense. But if you're such badasses why were you not in the New World anyway?"

"Don't make me laugh kid."
Crocodile finally starts answering your questions.
"If you weren't such a greenhorn you'd know why. The New World is hell on earth. It is a nightmare compared to which the rest of the Grand Line really feels like Paradise. It's fine to have lofty dreams and ambitions but that world feeds on fools whose eyes are clouded by such things. It... breaks something inside you and afterwards you won't be the same. But you don't need me to explain it to you. The moment you enter there you'll understand."

He then lights a new cigar and you smirk at him.
"Yeah yeah. Say if you have the time can you show one of my crewmembers a few tricks? I think she'd like to learn some stuff from a pro."

He smirks back at you.
"Of course. The moment you get a subordinate who's a logia user."

"Cool! I'll go get her!"

"What?"

"Told you."
>>
>>5021323
>Jinbe is starting to act as the minder for Silver, telling people not to look at the rabid bat boy funny, and not feed him outside lunch time
>>
Unfortunately you find out that Crocodile was messing with you and now you're a bit mad. So you decided to return to Lyda who's been very busy fixing the broken body of Moriah.
"How does it look?"

"Not good. His injuries are extensive. But the odd thing is that they healed at different rates. I think he was already very injured from a previous fight when they attacked him. He received many cuts, a few burns that were similar to yours after Sabaody and something very invasive has entered his body at one point like a parasite or a worm. He also had many broken bones that were starting to heal. Poor guy. He must've been in a lot of pain."

"Wonder what kept him going."

"After he was stabilized he fell asleep. He kept m-muttering things in his sleep. "Perona", "Absalom". Those were a few I heard multiple times."

"Must be his friends."
You look at the bandaged up guy who looks like a fat clown devil and almost feel sad.
"Any way I can help?"

"Y-You are a universal donor. We could give him a transfusion. But he's very erm-"

"Fat?"

"Big. So we'd need to draw a lot from you. It may tire you out."

"And that means no more fun for me today... Darn."

You start thinking about it. He is going to get up sooner or later so there is no rush. And you got a few other things to worry about. Such as Sandboy and the Chocolate Razor. Or your own plans that you got cooking.

>Okay. Give him some blood. I wanna talk with him

He COULD get intel on our crew logia in exchange for the most basic and general advice he could muster
And thats after we shown we were ready and capable on fucking his shit up
So instead of preparing for the possibility of future conflict, he decided to do this instead
Cant wait for when our girl spears his ass in legit fight

He knows damn well that if shows our crewmate anything he is increasing the danger exponentially. Intel on the rookie is less useful than them being inexperienced.

You sit down next to the bed where the former warlord is lying and you extend an arm for Lyda. She doesn't need any more than that to begin the transfusion process. She connects you to the pale man and you watch as more and more of your life juices get transferred to him. For a good while nothing happens to him but Lyda is furiously scribbling in her notes as she pays close attention to even the slightest changes to him. For a while it appears that he's fallen into a deep sleep from which he can not be roused but out of nowhere his eyes snap open and they appear to be quite bloodshot.

"DOFLAMINGO YOU BASTAR- Huh? W-What's going on? Who are you people?"

"My name is Silver."

"Wha-Where am I? What happened to the war? AM I dead? Is this Hell?"

"No but close. You're at the bottom of the sea. Fish-man Island. Your friend Crocodile brought you here."

"Crocodile?! That scum? What does he want? Wait..."
He starts clutching his head and grunting hard. From his gritting teeth you can tell he's feeling quite frustrated.
"Yes. I remember now. Doflamingo! And that Kuma copy! They were trying to kill me! And then- And then- ARGH I can't remember!"

He tries to get up but his strength still hasn't returned so he collapses immediately. However his shadow comes alive and it catches him before he could hit the ground.
"Whoah! Now that's a devil fruit!"

"Huh? I'm sorry who are you people?"
You have him seated and give him some hot chocolate while you give him a quick rundown of the situation.
"Ah I see. So that worthless Crocodile brought me here and now Fish-man Island is run by a bunch of rookies. How long was I out? Or is this actually hell?"

"A month."

"A MONTH?"

"Give or take."

"Well. At least I'm still alive I guess. But I wasted too much time. Thanks for your assistance but I must return to sea at once. My companions are out there after the Tyrant Kuma sent them away. I must find them so we can get back to our lives. I must start the production of zombies immediately-"
But as he says that leather straps are put all around his body which pull him down to the table.
"HEY!"

"I-I'm sorry. But as your doctor I can't allow you to do any of that before making a full recovery."

"Let me go you squirt! Doppelman! Assist me!"
His shadow rises from the table and gets to freeing its master. This displeases Lyda greatly.

"No."
She crosses her hands and suddenly Moria goes limp once more and his shadow disappears.

"What did you just do?"

"I replaced the painkiller I gave him earlier with morphine. That should make him sleep for a while. We'll have to resume our talks with him later."
>>
And this may be a bit lackluster but I think I'm going to call it quits here for the day. The laptop borked and I can't adjust the brightness on it. So my eyes started glazing over just now.
Anyway we got many things awaiting us in the near future

Y'know we should ask crocodile if he knows how dance powder is made and if so if we could buy that knowledge from him, it would be really helpful for SIlver Island. They have a lot of silver and no water, and only really one city so they couldn't steal rain from other parts of the city.
>>
Also I just started rereading the quest out of boredom yesterday and just read the opening post of Thread 4 and

>Flipping through your bible you keep finding interesting stuff, one bit in particular talks about places called Sodom and Gomorrah, cities of scum and villainy where people reveled in sin, haughtiness, egoism and all vices known to man. Now THOSE sound like piratey places! They sound so good in fact that you feel the need to circle their names with crayon and write "Pirate City" next to them and leave a bookmark there for future reference.

That's some almost Oda level foreshadowing right there!

I'll let you name the island bug I'll provide a few options. The default one is Nasau.

I think they've actually gotten that message loud and clear, remember the post Marineford conversation between Kong and Sengoku?
The one where they assumed we did Mariejois in as payback for sending an admiral after us and taking an arm and an eye?
And then earlier in this thread: Cp0 having orders to *not* try to assassinate us, probably because they're worried about the consequences should they fail.
I would seriously not be surprised if our files had something like "DO NOT ENGAGE WITHOUT DIRECT ORDERS" written in red letters on the first page or somesuch by now.

>>5021752
Outer Heaven is based, but we could also steal from history. The "Republic of Pirates" based on New Providence island or as it was called: Nassa ->>5022064
God damnit Spooks! It is a good name tho.

The following day things get busy as your project officially begins. Your first order of business is checking up on the slaves and how their draft ended up. Disappointingly many of them don't have your jolly roger drawn on their skin. They give you excuses like "there wasn't enough crayon" and "it washes off too easily". Nonsense! Where there is a will there is a way! Regardless, the vast majority of them do decide to join your efforts. And they are about to be put to use as you spent most of yesterday talking about your plan with Greki and coming up with ways to make it a reality.

As you stand there admiring the big crowd in front of you Neptune starts speaking.
"Hmmmmmmm. It's hard to believe they got so motivated-jamon."

At the same time Crocodile himself shows up with a big smoking cigar in his mouth.
"What's all this then?"

"Hi Croccy. These are the slaves I freed from the holy land. We're gonna build an island together!"

"Build an island?"

"Yeap! It's gonna be made of wood and float on the sea like Water 7!"

"Water 7 does not float on the water. The foundation of that place is at the bottom of the sea and it's slowly sinking..."

"Nuh-uh. Icecream said he's gonna make it float. If he can do that so can I."

"Regardless, do you actually expect this to succeed? You'd quite literally be stranded at sea with no natural resources to exploit. Even building a pirate empire on an uninhabited island would be a challenge. That's why I wanted to take over an already established kingdom, because it's the feasible way."

"Yeah but that was you."
You disregard his criticism of your plan as naturally as you breathe.
"Now then. I just have to figure out how to do this."

Neptune puts a hand on your shoulder.
"It's really quite simple-jamon. You must know what you want and what your people want. The difficult part is finding the solution that satisfies everyone. But once you have it all you need is to take the first step forward. Become the change you want to achieve and the people will follow!"

"Hmph. Arrogant and conceited, the hallmarks of the rotting aristocracy."
Crocodile scoffs.
"This man literally lived his entire life in a bubble and you want to take advice from him? Listen to someone with some common sense child. If you walk in front of everyone all you'll get is sycophants riding your coat tails and rats who'll stab you in the back the first chance they get. I know, I was one. Only a fool works for others, the wise let others do their dirty work for them. Just give them an order. Anyone who steps out of line you make an example of."

Well this was unexpected. Both of them are trying to give you advice and both have merits. This sucks. Now you actually have to think about what to do next!
"Hmmmmm? What do I want to be?"

>The Boss
>Other?

>>5026817
I can easily imagine a floating pirate haven that survives off the stolen wealth brought in by it's occupants! A place for pirates to rest easy and spend their loot, where people come and go like the rain.
However, we need something that can ward off the navy. Something even the admirals don't want to fuck with. Otherwise, it's a floating target.

The inhabitants themselves are of course a deterrent, but not enough.
However, if for example one of the ancient weapons happened to live there...
>>
>>5026807
>>The Boss
But on one condition:This sounds too much like slavery so everyone will always have a chance to opt out and just be excommunicated. Punishments are for those who want to stay but suck.

>>5026817
Whoa there Mr. Crowley.
>>
>>5026825
A Pirate chooses, a slave obeys!

>>5026823
>>5026821
So we got two for the Big Mom/Crocodile approach and
>>5026820
>>5026817
two for pirate laissez faire

Now, is there a compromise we could reach here? Poor Neptune tho, but he did have a massive rebellion brewing and a creepy pedo chasing his daughter so I can see why we don't wanna follow his example.

I guess we're leaving this up to the dice then since it's 2 for 2. Even though technically the second one would kinda defeat the purpose of asking Neptune for help regarding leadership

I actually really like that. You're welcome to come in, be a decent person or you'll get publicly lynched.

>>5026822
Going off your use of live I assume you mean Shirahoshi, and I kind of liked that idea at first because she'd get to see the sun and maybe become less of a weenie, but she doesn't have full control over her powers yet and to use her as a deterrent we'd have to make public that she's one of the ancient weapons which would draw way too much heat from the WG

>>5026807
>I'm the Captain! I have my own adventures to go on, I don't have time to babysit them! I'll teach them to not be weenies, but they have to be able to take care of themselves when I'm not there. And anyone who still wants to start trouble gets their ass kicked by me instead!

Not sure if I worded it well enough, but basically a middle ground with a focus on competent and loyal officers to run things in our absence.
>>
>>5026841
The admirals all have devil fruits, without fail.
The threat of being sunk by sea kings before you ever reach the island is sure to keep them away. Just saying, it would work.

It's almost like we're a somewhat deranged child who have no idea what the hell we are doing and only a vague notion of what we want accomplished.
It's going to crash and burn, more likely then not. But adversity leads to character growth and so I'm all for it!

>>
>>5026842
>What is a buster call
>What is Aokiji simply freezing the Ocean
>What is a long-range magma or laser barrage

And not only the navy would want to get their hands on an ancient weapon.
>>
>>5026846
Out of all that, the only real threat is Borsalino, just because he doesn't actually have to cross the ocean. He can fly.
>>
>>5026849
Aokiji can actually just walk on it. Hell he can ride a bike on it.
Then again... he's not much of a factor now is he?
>>
>>5026852
It's hard to freeze ocean water, spooky. Real hard. He can do it, sure, but how many times can he freeze large swaths of the ocean before he exhausts himself?
How far out are these mack-daddy sea kings going to be patrolling? Could he even get close? Wouldn't he be exhausted from freezing the ocean to keep them away, even if he made it?
>>
>>5026856
Kinda doesn't matter at this point in the timeline anyway since we didnt fuck around and change shit for the execution.
>>
>>5026856
I think you are forgetting about the tiny detail that Fishyhoshi would probably object to being weaponized and murdering an untold number of marines in our name.
And forcing someone to do something they don't want in the name of freedom sounds a bit... Marine'y don't you think?
>>
>>5026860

She isn't murdering anyone, she's ordering the sea kings to protect the island.
In doing so, she's protecting everyone there from being killed or worse.

You chuckle. The answer is of course obvious even though you had yourself doubting it for a moment there.
"Neither works."

"Hmmm? Then what would be your solution if you're so smart?"
Crocodile mocks you.

"It's simple. I'm a pirate. I'm a captain. The place will be mine and I'll run it like my crew. No rules, no laws, no land. Everyone is free to do what they want. If they fight for it. You want something? Take it? You don't like someone? Kill them. But you better be ready for when the captain shows up to clean up!"

Crocodile takes the cigar out of his mouth while giving you an odd look.
"It sounds less like you're trying to build an empire and more like you want to create a perpetual bar fight rolling around on the sea."

"Kek! Yes!"

"But Silver you can not hope to maintain something like that!"
Neptune protests.

"Why not? As long as I'm around nobody can do anything. People will eat, drink, spend their money and be happy. They can step out of line if they want to rustle with Silver. I just have to nail enough people to the front door to make sure the message sticks. Like here! But I still have adventures to go on, islands to see. I guess I'll have to whip those weeners into shape as well to keep things in order for a while. But once I become feared enough nobody will dare to lay a hand on it. My island! My Sodom and Gomorrah! Yes!"

As you clutch your fists blood begins to drip from them you are so excited and as Crocodile sees the childlike glee on your face he does something funny and extinguishes his cigar by pressing it into his sand body. Then he tosses the remainders of the fag on the ground and stomps on it.
"You're even crazier than I thought. But I like the sound of that. A pirate haven would be immensely useful. If you actually manage to pull it off I'll lend you my aid."

"Piss off Croccy! I don't need some leech getting fat on my success! Join or not. I don't care."

He flashes you a murderous glare but he's smiling.
"Kuhahahaha! Alright you cheeky brat! Show me what you're made of! But if you fail I'll be there to laugh. And to finish you off!"

"You won't get a chance Croccy! I'm not like you!"

Smiling you fly on the top of a building and start shouting.
"LISTEN UP! You know why you're here now!"

"Because you told us to?"

"WHO SAID THAT? NO! You're here because of those goons upstairs! They took your homes! They took your lives! And I can't give that back! But I can give you one thing! FREEDOM! And because you're here it means you're ready to GET FREEDOM! I don't know what you guys want from me. Orders, home or life it doesn't matter. Because whatever you want you'll make it with your own two hands! And I'll show you how to do it! Follow me!"

You lead the slaves to the port connecting the outside with the giant bubble protecting Fish-man Island. Greki and your friends are already there with several bubble corals and improved versions of the diving suits you used back when you were looking for the Jade Empire. The people are then shown how they can put on the suits so that they may begin salvaging the wrecked ships just outside the cave which houses the island. The plan is simple. Go out and use the bubble corals to coat the wrecks which you'll then fill with hot air to make it easier to transport. First phase of the plan ends when you manage to gather as much raw material as you can in one place.

Neptune is standing there in awe of this display and looks at you.
"Did you think of all that?"

"What? Me? No. I'm dumb. But Tiny and my friends are smart. They are the ones who came up with all of this."

Murray then comes along, wiping oil off his hands.
"It's scary when Silver puts his mind to something isn't it? Speaking of which, everything is ready captain."

"Cool!"

"We got a few spare diving suits. Looks like Greki made too many. Want to lend a hand to the slaves?"

You nod and take Jaws up on the offer, donning the diving suit and feeling it being a bit wonky.
"Hmmmm."

"Something wrong?"

"No. Nothing. This is fine."

Crocodile doesn't seem amused by this.
"What are you doing? I thought you understood what I meant. I'm disappointed Cavalier."

"No. You are the one who doesn't get it."
You finally manage to put on the boots and stomp the ground with them. As a huge crack appears you look back at the former warlord.
"I'm showing them how to not die. That's all."

Leaving them behind you go to the entrance where Greki and the slaves are waiting. From the crowd you hear a great many complaints coming from the adults.
"H-Heavy!"

"Something pinched me!"

"GAH! I dropped the helmet on my leg!"

Scoffing you look at Greki.
"Hey Tiny. How much air is in one of these?"

"One hour each. I thought about using tubes but Murray said there are too many things that could bite through them. So I had to do it this way."

"Good. YOU HEARD THE GUY! You got one hour! Put on your suits and don't waste any time!"

"B-But Captain these are way too difficult to move in-"

"That's the point. I didn't say Freedom would come easily. Grit your teeth and bear with it!"

You leave the bubble with the dozens of slaves not counting the children because you didn't make kid sized underwater jumpers even though that sounds rad. Sadly the walk to the ship graveyard outside is not without its difficulties. People constantly trip, step on things they shouldn't, get overwhelmed by the vast blackness and the entire sea weighing on their shoulders, not to mention all the sea monsters around them. Plagued with equipment failure and the terrors of the sea it appears that your little band of workers are about to break. As one of them falls he starts screaming into his helmet.

"This is hopeless! L-Let's go back to the island and-"

"Look!"
Another one points forward.

You keep walking forward without any issues and without looking back. You only stop when you hear that all the others behind you have ceased movement. Feeling frustrated you give them one simple command.
"Keep! Struggling!"
>>
>>5026868
>"Piss off Croccy! I don't need some leech getting fat on my success! Join or not. I don't care."

>"You won't get a chance Croccy! I'm not like you!"

Absolute uber-chad, I fucking love this quest
>>
You know we keep making the Sodom and Gomorrah comparison but we only have one city. What if even later we had two cities, one on each side of the calm belt to cross it.

Now THAT would make us an weird economic powerhouse as one of the only ways to safely cross the calm belt. It would be something the gubmint wants gone but the pirates and even seedier merchants would vehemently defend.
>>
Seeing you get farther and farther out the slaves slowly rise and start to follow. There will be consequences of course, injuries aplenty or perhaps some measure of madness. But those who persist through all that would get stronger. They embrace their own hardship and with what tools they brought begin breaking down the ships that you condemned to the abyss previously. As they are reduced to manageable parts you collect the scraps and encase them in a bubble, which you inflate manually with a straw and good suck. With a few lengths of rope you turn these massive hulls into happy little balloons that even the weeniest of weenies can easily carry into the cave and safely deposit amidst the roots of the Sunlight Tree for future use. With enough raw materials gathered you return to the island, your workers tired and slightly wounded but fine. You are also a bit exhausted since you not only had to blow most of your air into the bubbles and had to operate on low oxygen for an hour but you also had to fend off any sea beasties that got cute. Thankfully you managed to do an almost clean sweep of the floor. Now you can leave the rest to the slaves alone while you move on to bigger things, like constructing your new fort.

As you're recovering from decompression you look at Tiny and ask him for some details.
"So how does it look?"

"Aye. That's good. Good enough to make a good, sturdy foundation. We'll need a massive anchor to chain it to the sea floor but I'll handle that. The rest however will have to be done by the slaves. An anchor's fine but wouldn't wanna risk cursing a floating city."

"Oh yeah. How about the suits?"

"If anyone else could make them I would've gladly let them."

"A'ight."

As you're drinking some bottled water a shadow starts looming over you as a confused giant of a man walks by you and speaks up in a high pitched shriek.
"What is going on here? I was having a nice nap and suddenly there is a commotion outside!"

"Heh. Good morning Moria. Slept well?"

"Why yes, thank you for asking. Also NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS CROCODILE! Now could someone explain to me what am I seeing? A-Are those the marks of the Tenryubito?"

"Hmph. Those would be the slaves this brat here took from Mary Geoise. He's putting them to work and building his own little pirate island. Interesting isn't it?"

"S-So that wasn't just some horrid nightmare?"

"No. Hi."

"Anyway Moria I decided to let you go after Straw Hat after all. I decided to stick around a bit longer instead. This little bastard fascinates me. Kuahahaha! I have a feeling that this is going to be the best thing since the death of that shitty old man Whitebeard!"

"Good! Saves me the trouble of killing you too Crocodile! Straw Hat is mine!"
You look at Moria as he says that.

These guys really underestimate Goofy. I mean yeah he's kinda stupid but the one this he's not is a weenie. These guys, well if they arent weenies they have weenish tendencies.
They just arent operating on the same "fuck reality, this is my will and the world can get bent" mindset that luffy and Silver live breathe and shit on the regular.
They have things like "concern" and "doubt" and "fear" and all that other bullshit a survival instinct saddles you with.

Moria seems to notice your intense staring and he takes offense to that.
"Got a problem shorty?"

"No. Go ahead. You won't win anyway. Kek!"

"WHADIDYASAY?"

You get up even though the decompression sickness is hitting you a little hard right now and stare him down.
"You won't win!"

Pushing against him you see his clothes flutter as the wind generated by you makes him take a step back.
"C-Conquerors Haki? THIS KID?"
As the wind dies down Moria is shown to be sweating.
"S-Shit! I-I'll show you!"
He turns away and dramatically flicks his comically small cape whilst muttering to himself.
"I need to find the others. Perona, Absalom, Hogback. I know you're out there. That damn bear! I'll reunite with you and everything will be back to normal. We'll show. We'll show them all!"

As he storms away you look at Crocodile for answers.
"What's his beef?"

"Jealousy. Rage. Like many others he was a promising rookie who entered the New World filled with hopes and dreams. The New World then chewed up and spat him out. He lost everything, his crew, his ship. Everything he knew, his whole world was destroyed before his very eyes. It drove him mad. Filled with dread he became a government dog and sought the safety of Paradise, biding his time to build up his strength to try again later. But I suspect in reality he was building his power to protect himself, to hide. Then that Straw Hat came and reminded him of the taste of defeat. Some people can't handle that."

You adjust your hat as you look away from him.
"How did you?"

"The only thing you have in Impel Down is time. Time to think."

"Hmmm."
You clear your throat and shout.
"LISTEN UP PEOPLE! GOOD JOB! You did well today! Go and rest! Tomorrow we keep going and start building!"

"You're leading these people to their doom you know."

You don't bother to give him an answer and simply retreat with the others to rest up so you can start the next days hard work refreshed and ready. First thing in the morning you prepared Daunty for departure and took on as many slaves as you could, the rest would use deep sea fishes you borrowed from the Ryugu Kingdom and together you make for the surface. As you leave through the other hole in the cave you officially enter the New World on your own and catch the underwater current that'd take you directly to the surface. Along the way however you spot something interesting.

As you pass through the limit of where natural light can reach the deep sea monsters around you disappear and get replaced by more regular fishes. Among them is one particular kind that catches your eye because you've seen it before.
"LOOK! WHALES!"

"They look just like that giant at the start of the Grand Line!"

Hearing this Ann steps up with a childlike wonder in her eyes.
"Oh my! I only ever read about them! Island Whales! Did you know they are natives to the West Blue? Such beautiful creatures!"

You and Will run up to the bubble and press your faces against it.
"WOOOOW! Do you guys hear that?"

The others pay close attention and hear the hum of the whales.
"They are... singing?"

"KEKEKEKEKE! Let's follow them! After me everyone! Yohohohooooo-Yohohohooooo!"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hksp4hewTLw

One by one everyone joins your choir, even the slaves and eventually the whales too. You ride along them up to the surface and once you pierce the surface of the water the song of the whales becomes ear piercing. There is a violent storm going on up here but it's still the song that shakes you to your core. The bubble protecting your ship pops and you can FEEL it. The cold, salty wind pushes against you as if it's trying to thrust you into the deep, the raging water trying to topple your ship, the bolts of lightning striking the water mere meters away from you and the chunks of ice the size of small mountains falling from the sky. This place wants you dead. The very road itself is more dangerous than any of the foes you encountered before.

"KEEEEEKEKEKE!"

"Ah. It's so nice seeing him happy~"

Ann muses as Gu looks up at the sky, the great wind blows his scarf clean off.
"Do you guys remember what it was like before?"

"Before? Before what you cryptic asshole?"

"Before. When you still felt fear."

"Oh? AHAHAHAHA! That's what you're hung up on Gu? We are the FREAKIN' Silver Pirates! Whatever the world has in store, we are worse!"

"DAMN STRAIGHT!"
You turn back to them with the most earnest grin you can manage.
"Now let's get to work! This is our new home now! So let's make it look like it!"

Using the wood and iron you brought you have the slaves assemble a great "raft" which will serve as the foundation of the future city while you and the boys use your abilities to literally fight the elements so these people can carve out and domesticate a piece of the land. In the end you don't manage much more than the base of the structure and a dome shaped hall, which is just the entire hull of a ship turned upside down. You decided to take a rest in there for today because coating the Dauntless would be impossible now. As everyone is circled in the dark you look at the ceiling and reach up with your boney hand as if to grasp it. A name starts to form itself in your head. One befitting of this place. Not what it is now but what it will be.

And according to that it appears that Outer Heaven won 11 to 8 against Nasau.
I'm a little bummed but it is a DAMN good name

"Outer Heaven!"
It's a fine name, a strong name. It will not mean much for now but you've learned how ones name can take on meaning, respect and fear. People will flock to this place in awe and fear. Maybe not today or tomorrow. But one day. However now it's time for the sleepy sleep.

Come next morning the storm has shown no signs of abating. It is intent on attacking you, on breaking those who are not worthy of being here. But you'll show it. Defiant of natures wrath and wim you continue working on the place in the storm until you run out of wood to use. Once you do you get the ship coated and go back down to the island. Days turn into weeks which turn into months as you swing back and forth between Fish-man Island and Outer Heaven. In one you fight against would be trouble-makers, scrap their ships and help toughen up the royal army. The other you continue to funnel resources to and keep expanding it. First you made the great hall more habitable and afterwards moved on to making new buildings whilst fighting the elements. Sadly along the way you realized that without sufficient protection none of those tiny houses would survive for long so you went on to forming a great mound of a shell to keep the harsh weather out. Like the tip of an iceberg or the fang of a great sea beast it jouted out of the waters.

With the great framework complete it felt fitting to let the fish-folk children know what is going on. They eventually do come and check it out but it does not hold their attention for too long. It is more like a monumet, something interesting to look at but not substantial enough to occupy their minds. For now. This is but the shell of the egg, the wrapper around a gift. What matters is what you put into it. And the first thing is obviously housing, a hearth and home. Once people have somewhere to rest it's a matter of sustainability. The perpetual storms offer enough fresh water if you bother collecting it but food is another matter. You need more than fish to survive. But that is a problem which pretty much solved itself. As you started letting good boys through Fish-man Island and as ambitious rookies get pushed back by the New World they inevitably bump into your little fort. It is a simple deal. They offer you money for temporary safety. And as knowledge of Outer Heaven spreads by word of mouth more people come in. Trade flourishes.

With more money and more people there are more demands. Demand for food, for drink, for entertainment. And there are plenty of people who are willing to provide. Bars, hotels and marketplaces pop up everywhere, some operated by the slaves, some by those who succumb to the allure of the place and chose safety over adventure. As you start appearing on the map you also make a call that's long overdue. Big News Morgans said if you ever want to build an empire you should give him a call. Now it's time to see what good his word is.

Outer Heaven turns from a vague rumor into one of the most infamous trade ports in the world. The proverb "If it exists, you can find it in Outer Heaven" starts to fly around the world and making the fantasies of the masses run wild. Technically it is true. You can find almost everything in here no matter how illegal. Even slaves. Unfortunately what people don't realize is that the one rule of the place applies to even them. So every time someone is stupid enough to try and sell people on the market they get inevitably torn apart by their own "products".

Sadly such fame has its downsides as well and the floating pirate haven can not remain hidden from the World Governments eyes. They see it as a challenge to their power and authority, especially since it's a stones toss away from not just the Holy Land but the brand new Marine HQ that was built in the New World this time. A great many battle barges are sent to clean up the place but their crews always return to Headquarters on rafts with oars, battered and bruised. They make reports of monsters assaulting them both from the water and the skies, giant shadowy monsters looming over them and an ever intensifying bombardment of cannonballs as their weapons get scavenged and integrated into the city to continuously increase its firepower. But most disturbing of all they say that after the pirates sent them on their merry way they cordially invited them to come back and enjoy the place as guests.

Six months after the attack of Mary Geoise Outer Heaven shines like a beacon in the gloomy storm. The belly of the beast is filled with revelry and merriment of simply incomprehensible proportions. One guest who had way too much to drink grabs one of the barmaids by the waist and pulls her closer.
"Hey sweetheart! How about you brings us another drink?"

The old barmaid is clearly annoyed. Her disdain is obvious even through her slightly saggy skin and the bags under her eyes. She takes her cigarette out of her mouth before harshly responding to her customer.
"Sure. The second you pay your tab creep. And you better let go of my shitbox while I'm telling you nicely."

"Come oooon you sexy little hag! Listen. Listen! Me and the boys. We are a pretty hardcore crew. We got a bounty of 300.000.000 together. If you bring us more mead we'll show you the night of your life! Well? Which is better? A few bellies or becoming the wife of the future Pirate King?"

"You paying your tab shitforbrains."

The patron gets angry.
"I WASN'T ASKING-"

The maid whistles.
"Hey honey! We got a smartass here!"

A rather large fellow walks up to the pirate and touches his shoulder to which the guest takes great offense.
"You think your gorilla is gonna stop me?"
He gets up and after swiftly turning around punches the strongman in the chest. His hand makes a sound similar to what a bunch of crackers make when a fat man sits on them.
"Ooooooooooooooooooow-"

But he doesn't have too long to suffer as a hand reaches in his mouth, unhinges his jaw and the other one drives a sword down his throat. He expires immediately and falls to the ground with blood squirting out his mouth.
"Did he hurt you?"
The man asks.

"Oh no sweetie! I'm a tougher girl than that!"
The harsh and gravely voice of the maid smoothes out as she rubs against her protector.
"Sigh. If I was ten or twenty years younger I'd show you how grateful I am for the help though. But I don't think my hips could take it."

"Nonsense. We both know I'm the one not worthy of your attention."

"Mmmmmm. Keep saying pretty things like that and that might change!"
She turns away from him as he starts dragging the bloody cadaver on the ground.
"Sigh. I'm going to envy whatever little slut wraps him around her fingers... Alright shrimpdicks! ANYONE ELSE FEELS LIKE NOT PAYING?!"
Everyone from the nearby tables gets up and stretch out hands full of crumpled up notes, a few of which she tucks between her breasts with a grin. Those who are observant could see the jolly roger tattooed on one of them flash.

There aren't many rules in Outer Heaven. Technically there is one. Freedom above all else. Yet everyone is at their best behavior. There are frequent fights, duels to the death and such but it's all very orderly. Because there is another unspoken rule that makes everyone behave. You are free to do anything, that is true. But there are consequences. In other words. "Fuck around, find out". There are naturally always idiots who take their chances. They, like this last bastard get displayed in broad daylight after everything usable gets harvested from them.

"Welcome to Outer Heaven!
Do you seek fun? Drinks? Food? Women? Drugs? Organs? We got you covered!
Step out of line, we're killing ya! Enjoy your stay!"

The man dragging the fresh kill behind him tosses it over to the medics who arrived with a stretcher.
"Thank you. I tried not messing it up too much."
They all nod and carry the corpse away without a word as the man walks up a flight of stairs and sits down on his sofa. He's responsible for the security of the place and sadly he did way too good of a job. There aren't many who'd try to make a mess anymore.
"Sigh. Bored. Wake me up when something interesting happens."

Just as he falls asleep several gunshots are heard.
"Nobody move! We are the Bombadier Pirates! And this is now our turf!"
For a moment there is complete silence but then everyone starts laughing their asses off as they point fingers at them.
"S-STOP IT! I am John Bomberman and I will not tolerate this!"

"Yeah! Tell him captain!"

A small boy who didn't even bat an eye at them finishes his bowl of cereal and looks at the pirates.
"Hey. Dummies. Get lost!"

"Captain! Look!"
The first mate takes out a bounty poster.

"Well that was easier than expected! Alright boy! You can either pack your bags and get out of here or we're taking your head straight to the marines! Your choice!"

"Kekeke! You guys are new here huh? Alright! I'll play with you! Come on!"
The pirates needed nothing else and all twenty of them jumped the boy.
"A kick from the left."
He crouches down and dodges the attack.
"A sword to the neck. Armament Harden!"
The cold steel breaks as it touches his nape.
"Now the fun begins!"

He kicks one of them in the gut, making him tumble into five others. Then the boy slides between the legs of another. He picks up a chair to smash it over the pirates back then takes the legs that broke off and jams it into the shoulder of another attacker. He slides around the place, jumps around on the tables and generally annoys the pirates as much as he can whilst dismantling their forces one by one.

"C-Captain! He's as strong as they say!"

"Grrr! Fine! I'll do it myself! HEY BOY!"
The kid turns and he gets punched in the stomach and after a second his chest explodes. The pirate giggles as he reveals his ability.
"I ate the Mushi Mushi no Mi, Model: Bullet Ant! My punches are as strong as a hundred mens AND they explode! How do you like it?"

The boy straightens his back and starts picking his nose.
"Woooooow~. That was shit!"

"HG-G-G-G!"

The half bugman charges and the boy smirks. With a quick apology he snatches a bottle of hard liquor from a nearby table and smashes it into the pirates eyes. As glass shards poke his eyes out the pirate gets drenched in hard booze. But the boy doesn't stop and picks up a lantern from another table and breaks it on the pirates head. He erupts in a blazing inferno and his agonized screams fill the hall.
"Well you might not be King of the Pirates material but you sure make a mean bonfire! Kekeke!"

As the flames die out the first mate rushes to his dead leader with tearful eyes.
"CAPTAAAIIIN! NOOOOO! You can't die! W-What about our dreams? Captain! Please! Open your eyes.... YOU! You did this! CAVALIER! Don't think this is over! Our vengeance will pursue you till the ends of the earth! You WILL PAY!"

The boy looks confused and he looks over his shoulder.
"Captain! I think they are looking for you!"

"C-Captain? B-But the posters-"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurgh."
The man on the sofa groans.
"Damn it Bullseye! I keep telling you to put your toys away after you're done with them! Fine. I'll take care of it. Let's see. They came from over there right?"
From the shadowy corner the long, haki imbued barrel of a gun pokes out.
"Everyone. Please duck."

The hallway leading to the port the pirates came from lights up with a bright flash and starts shaking. At the same time those who have the physical and mental strength to not flinch see the ship of the pirates get torn in two as the blast bores a great hole into it. The ambitious ruffians get pale as they realize their mistake.
"P-Please... mercy!"

>Yeah okay. Pay up.

I thought it was a little weird that we used Armament that casually. Nicely done Spooks! And William! I'm proud of the little psycho of a heartthrob to be, setting a mans head on fire while laughing like that.

Nice reveal to.


>The person who keelhauls these idiots gets their drinks free for the day
Torture-to-death was not really our jam, but I'd think that Silver is fully aware that Outer Heaven only works because of what has happened to those who try to rock this little boat of ours, and its not like we didn't mind nailing people up as a message before...

points at the sign saying: "Step out of line, we're killing ya! Enjoy your stay!"
>>
"Mercy hmmm?"

Laughter erupts from the crowd
"Come on captain! Don't be like that! They haven't done anything wrong!"
They say in a mocking tone, knowing full well that this is not the way of things.

"No."
The first-mate opens his mouth in protest but you shove Parleys barrel into his mouth before pointing up at a sign proudly dangling on a pair of chains. As you lean in closer you grin at the troublemakers.
"What does that say?"

"W-Whah?"

"Can't read? That's a shame."
Pulling the barrel out of his mouth you wipe it on his shirt as he starts gagging.
"The one who keelhauls these idiots gets a discount on their next drink. And if any of them survive they get to leave. Without a boat."

A small fight breaks out as you turn your back to the pirates and go back to your beloved couch to rest some more. It's not just about the cheap drinks but about the principle. Half of these people are those who decided to live here, slaves and half-retired brigands who keep telling themselves they are just resting before resuming their journey. The other half is those more accomplished sinners who managed to carve out a living at sea but still don't have a permanent place in it and thus enjoy the stability of Outer Heaven. The pirates get dragged our with ropes to be dragged along the bottom side of the fortress and you lay your head down on one of your favorite pillows.

Ann strokes your hair as you lay on her lap.
"Awww what's wrong sweetheart? Lynching usually makes you so happy."

"Bored. The navy is late and nothing exciting happened in a while."

"You can't blame anyone but yourself moron!"
Marcella slams back her glass of whiskey before chastising you.
"Could've left anytime we wanted but nooooo. You want to stay. Which is perfectly fine by the way but the fact that you have the AUDACITY to complain is pissing me off!"

"Can't. Not for another 1.5 years."

Will jumps up and lands ass first on your stomach, making you curse at the growth-spurt having little runt.
"But why though? You say that the Straw Hats will come back but what makes you say that? Nobody's seen any of them. Not a peep or a word. Everyone else is out there having fun. Maybe they are just chicken! Or Straw Hat quit after his bro turned into a deep fried donut!"

"No. They are coming back. And I'm not gonna go ahead. The last thing I want is that Goofy idiot calling me a cheat for getting a head start!"

Jaws asks Hagetaka to stop tattooing him for a second so he could give his opinion.
"You know we got plenty of things to do. Your schedule is still busy. Lots of people want to have an audience with you now. Or if that doesn't interest you how about exploring the Calm Belt? We could find islands no man has set a foot on for centuries."

"Hmmmmmm. Yeah. That sounds cool!"

"Alright. We got a few interesting rumors. I'll make sure to ask about them."
>>
You know we still need to make an amusement park for the fish kids, just to tell that shitty slave town Sabaody to suck it.

Wonder if we could hire Buggy the Clown to run the place for a cut of the profits? He runs a circus too if I remember correctly.
>>
You keep lounging around for a while, not being too bothered by the ambiance at all. There is always a bar-fight, an argument, a grudge being settled somewhere. It's all the sound of life. You don't really open your one good eye at all until your ears pick up something more interesting on the way.

"Croccy boy! Welcome back!"
You sit up and spread your arms in a warm welcome.

The appearance of a former warlord definitely attracted some attention but only those who are into gossip continue to pay attention to him, the rest return to their drinks. Crocodile doesn't seem to care too much about them and strolls up to your elevated spot.
"Kuhaha. I like what you've done with the place. A real hive of scum and villainy this turned out to be."

"Thank you! How goes the pirating?"

He walks up to you with his first-mate Daz Bonez and they take one of the fancy seats you have reserved for important guests.
"Hmmm. Not good. Remember the Summit War? That little kerfuffle made a real mess of things. Thanks to that old fool Sengoku retiring now we have a new Fleet Admiral to worry about and that overeager bastard lacks Sengokus restraint. Despite their losses Marine activity is at an all time high and their weapon production is the same way. Those Pacifistas keep popping up and they are getting meaner by the day. If that wasn't enough rookies like you are all over the place, making it real hard to get anything done."

You offer him a box of cigars "imported" from some rich island and grin.
"At least you didn't get your ass kicked back to Paradise this time! And if you don't like us rookies maybe you should step up your game old man!"

"Hmph."

As he lights a cigar you start pestering him a bit about recent news.
"Got anything about Moria? Haven't heard much about him."

"Nothing. He's still looking for his old crew without much luck. But funnily enough like me he hasn't been stopped by the New World either so maybe he has a chance."

"Kuma?"

"You ever met him?"

"No. Which is funny because I keep bumping into Warlords. But I did see those pacifista that are modeled after him."

"Watch out for that one. If you see a pacifista with paw-pads like a bear you should avoid it. Not even I would take him lightly."

You continue to have a pleasant talk with the former Shichibukai when the alarms flare up. The dozens of Den Den Mushi you have installed all start screaming, which prompts Will to grab his crossbow and jump to the top of Outer Heaven. He looks down and shouts to you.
"Silver! The Marines are here!"

Unable to contain your excitement you stand up immediately.
"FINALLY!"

"Need a hand?"
Crocodile looks up at you.

>No! This is mine!
>No. This is our turf. Jaws! Hook! Angel! After me!
>Yeah sure. The more the merrier!

This place only remains free if we can repel the marines, so that's up to Crocy boy if he thinks this place is worth saving. We can't/won't order him to do shit, which is Outer Heaven's whole point. We can still call him a weenie if he says no though.

Really liking this casual timeskip so far though the whole 'building Outer Heaven' thing felt a little bit easy
The only other thing I could nitpick about would be Silver getting described as a large guy - I remember you saying in an early thread he wouldn't grow much more because he was stunted by malnutrition, and I kinda liked the idea of this short guy beating up all the huge One Piece fuckers

>>5029924
The man likes money and theme parks always make a mint. Between the cheap unhealthy food, the rigged games, the extremely rigged games, ticket prices for the rides and booze for the adults you're almost printing money.

Oooooh. Croccy gets to join the fun as well then?
A'ight
This will be a slaughter

>>5029926
Yeah. And he's been uh... eatin' good for a good while now. He's not going to get ridiculously tall though. He's about as tall as Luffy now whereas he was a bit shorter before. His "size" refers more to his musculature because he ate his monkey biscuits and got them gains

>>5029926
Agreed.
Tho I'd say building the whole Outer Heaven thing can be easy, no issues there. Starting anything is easy, keeping it around on the other hand.. Now that's the difficult part.

"I'm not gonna tell you what to do Croccy. Kek. Watch! HEY YOU SCUM! WE GOT GUESTS COMING! WHAT WILL YOU DO IF THEY RING THE BELL?!"

"FIGHT!"
Everyone not absolutely wasted raises their weapon.

"That's how it works. This place lives as long as we beat everyone back! You like this place, you fight for it! And nobody will force you to. That's the point. But... I bet I'll take out more of them than you would!"

Putting out his cigar he stands up.
"You're on."

"KEKEKE! Jaws, Hook, Angel! You coming?"

"One minute. I'll just let Hagetaka finish my ink."

"And I'll finish my drink thank you very much."

You march between the tables until you get outside and see the three white sails in the distance. Crocodile seems almost disappointed about the small size of the attacking force. Indeed, despite the marines suffering catastrophic losses after the war they always managed to spare a few warships to knock on your front door with. These in contrast seem comically small."

"How boring. This won't be much of a contest after all."
The warlord disperses into sand and starts flying towards the attackers.
"I'll end this before you even take off Cavalier."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DOrDKVolfI

"Oh we'll see about that!"
With just a little focus you manage to sprout a pair of massive bat wings without any other alterations to your body.
"RAZIELIM!"

With a singly flap you shoot out like someone fired you out of a cannon and speed past the flying sandstorm that is Crocodile. You can almost make out his surprised "What" as you zip ahead but it's sadly drowned out by what you're more focused on: The Marines.

"Vice-Admiral! We're under attack! It's- IT'S-"

You stop mid air and continue to hover right in front of the lookout as he freezes mid-sentence.
"Gentlemen! Welcome to Outer Heaven! What brings you here? Business or pleasure?"

"OPEN FIRE!"

"Business it is."
Dozens of rifles are trained on you and start firing as soon as the vice-admiral gives his order.
"Silver Style: Silent Slice."

You stop flapping and instead swing with one of your wings, turning the bullets to dust on impact and sending sharp gusts of wind in retaliation. The marines are left without a choice. Either they stand their ground and get torn up or they dodge and your attack hits the vessel which is way too small to withstand the structural damage caused by your attacks. They guard and take it, shedding their own blood for the good cause. You're about to swing a second time to further thin their numbers when you hear someone kicking the air behind you.
"Geppo!"

That same wing is sufficient enough to block so you turn around and clash with the sword he raised against you.
"Hmmmm. I don't think I know you. Mohawk, killer moustache. Vice-admiral Momonga right?"
>>
File: Momonga 2.png (2.24 MB, 1920x1080)
2.24 MB

Since you're unable to fly the two of you start falling and land on the deck hard enough to break some of the boards. You continue to hold his sword checked with your wing as you cross your arm and start chatting with him.
"Say why doesn't HQ send Hina, Onigumo or Lacroix anymore? They were fun. The others were just boring."

"They sent me because they trust me to take care of this mission!"

"Is that why you brought smaller ships? And I thought you just got tired of me looting them for lumber. These dinghies are not even worth salvaging!"

As you're having your exchange with Momonga an ambitious little marine sneaks up on you to stab you in the back but you give him a kick hard enough to send him to the second ship. His body breaks the main mast of the other vessel. But strangely the ship does not stop and keeps going forward. Come to think of it neither of them are trying to support this ship.
"Oooh I get it!"

"Damn it. KEEP GOING! DON'T STOP! Take the outpost at all cost!"
It seems his plan is to keep you busy at all cost so the rest of his men can take on Outer Heaven directly. Clever.

"SABLES!"
But not clever enough as a sand tornado hits the damaged ship and makes it stop completely.

"What? Crocodile?! This changes everything. Pacifista! Activate!"

Two hands break through the floor and drag you down very suddenly. The sound of very heavy blows can be heard as a body is punched back up to the deck. But when the marines see that it's the massive cyborg who's flying with a bleeding jaw they get scared. The pacifista gets back on its feet as you jump back up and find yourself sandwiched between a vice-admiral and one of the World Governments secret weapons.

"Alright alright! I get it! Won't underestimate you again! Sorry."
You draw Parley and Argent as you assume a proper fighting stance. Momonga, the machine and the marine troops all attack at the same time to overwhelm you. But you have a solution for that. Slamming your wings down on the ground you start sending vibrations through the floor.
"Silent Collapse!"

All of them stumble as the ground beneath them gives out and you make for the most dangerous thing, the pacifista. A punch from your wing caves in its chest and weakens the incredibly resilient metal its made out of. With Argent you slice him up, creating an opening to its vulnerable internals. Parley in the other hand you fire into him which makes the machine stop its advance. Finally you gather up your willpower and push it into your fist as you throw a punch.
"SILVER VOICE!"
The machine splits in half above the waist from the force and falls down. You don't like how it still takes this much effort from you at full power to take one of these out but you can't do much about it.

The marines however are loosing their minds from this. But not Momonga.
"Don't give him any breathing room. Keep firing!"
He then takes out a den den mushi and starts talking into it.
"B-wing! We won't be able to hold him off for much longer! Attack!"
>>
"B wing?"
You look around and see another set of three ships in the distance.
"Clever."

TWANG

Momonga smacks you in the face with his sword while you're not paying attention but a combination of observation and armament means all he manages to do is draw a few drops of blood. Even as you get sent flying you manage to stop yourself with your wings and get back on your feet. You rub your cheeks in annoyance.

"Aren't you afraid I'll break your sword at this rate?"

"As long as I don't let you touch them for more than a second I should be fine no?"

"Hmmm. Well yes."
You sheathe your weapons.
"Anyway a pacifista and six ships all just so you could smash my place? Is it really worth that much to you?"

"It's nine ships. We have three more and they'll capture everyone fleeing the place. And yes. This place is an insult to the order of the world! Destroying it is not just our desire, it is our duty."

"Hmmmmmmmm."
You scratch your head.
"Strange. Your friends don't seem to agree."

"What?"

"Do you have any idea how many marines visit us? A few. Where else could they get strong girls and pretty drinks? Even the navy guys need to let off some steam every now and then! Kekeke!"

"Hm. Either the rumors are true or you're lying. But it won't matter once this place sinks to the bottom of the sea!"

"Alright. But there is just a teensy weensy problem with your plan. Your boys will die before they get close to Outer Heaven. I mean look behind you!"

"Do you really think I'll fall for this trick?"

Momonga stubbornly refuses to show his back to you but then the mushi in his pocket begins screaming.
"V-Vice-admiral! We got trouble! Please RESPOND!"

"What?!"

Now's your chance!

But... technically you were asking for this. If you end it now the boredom will come back. So you stand back and let Momonga do his thing and eagerly await his reaction. Naturally the lower ranking marines won't just let you do as you please and try to attack you but their weapons simply bounce off of you. One of them manages to pierce you through the chest so hard the tip of the blade comes out your back but you barely pay attention to it and keep focusing on the vice-admiral.

"Report! What's going on?"

"T-The Evenstar sir! The Evenstar is being dragged down! It's the fish-man!"

"Damn it! Evacuate the ship! If it goes down the whirlpool will suck everyone in!"

"I-It's already gone sir! The whole ship went down in seconds!"

"Deploy mines then! Don't let it get close to the underside of your ships! And shoot at everything that moves in the water! We can't let him destroy any more ships!"

"Understood! We will- OH GOD!"

The transponder snail makes a loud, deep noise unlike anything that Momonga ever heard. Like the symphony of creaking wood, a ghastly vail and a dying whale. He doesn't know what that could be and keeps asking for a report but all he gets are the whimpers of his men. He looks up and sees the source of the noise as do all other marines and even the former Shichibukai on the other ship. And they all stop fighting for a very terrifying minute as they see a giant monster looming over the comparatively tiny marine ships.

The core of the beast is a ship black as night, its arms and legs are pure glass but its joints and "muscles" are barbed metal hooks. In one of its terrifying arms are four cannons bundled together. With one point blank shot it blasts the second ship of B-wing apart before it lifts the last one out of the water with both hands and squeezes it dry like a lemon. The deep reverberating roar of the gargant sends shivers down the spine of everyone witnessing it, even Crocodile who finds his cigar falling out of his mouth.

All the howling is cut off by the maddened cackle of a crazy-woman coming through Momongas transponder snail.
"AHAHAHAHAA! That's right! RUN!"

"Can you focus?!"

"I AM YOU WHORE!"

"I-It's all true!"
Momonga mutters.
"Monsters nest under the heart of the world!"

Finally you stomp on the ground to remind the marines you still exist.
"Yes. And there is one on your ship right now! But there is more! Do you guys know what happens when you feed a crab more seastone than it'd ever get on its own?"
You let out a whistle and the sound of breaking wood comes from the ship. Claws the size of a grown mans forearm appear over the railing as your little beasties crawl onboard, each the size of a large hound.
"Thanks for that by the way! It'd be quite hard feeding my cute little boys without your help!"

One of the more brave marines tries his luck with the crabbos but his sword shatters against their sea-stone laced shell. Still the bugs aren't too fond of being bonked on the head so they use their massive pincers to snap their swords and rifles in half before throwing themselves on the marines. The weight of one is enough to completely immobilize a marine who doesn't have Haki and many who are already at their wits end find it much more tempting to jump into the shark infested waters rather than facing the monsters that are seemingly eating their fellows.

You scratch one of the cuties on the back before you let Marauder pop out of your hat so he can ride and command his bigger brothers freely.
"I told you marine. You're not going to get even close to Outer Heaven. And even if you limped over there we have enough guns to reduce an island to rubble. So. What will it be?"

"W-We surrender."

"Hmmmm? I'm sorry I didn't quite hear that!"

"I said we surrender! There is no point in giving up our lives for nothing. I surrender. Just spare my men."

"Hmmmmmm."

>Good! See you later then!
Or if you'd like a glass of milk before you leave that's OK too

See this is a deceptively clever thing to do, if you make it clear to people that surrender and retreat is an easily available option and that you'l allow them to withdraw without further losses... Well guess what, they'l be ever so more inclined to retreat again in the future rather then pressing a difficult attack, because people like being alive.

Supporting this one

I like Momonga, and the idea of pissing off Marine HQ by demanding a ransom, only for the chance that they don't respond and outright deny the request. Seriously he's like the only cool guy there aside from like, Garp. Sure hes a bit of a stick in the mud but he rocks a mean pinstriped suit. The more Marines we convert to our side as friends (and potential spies) the better!
>>
I've seen some support for imprisoning him however there is much more for letting him go freely
So with that in mind

With a smile you swing your sword over your shoulder.
"Okay! See you later then!"
Giving another whistle you dismiss the crabs before shouting at the sea with your enhanced voice.
"HEY! EVERYONE! LET THEM GO! THEY GAVE UP!"

"W-What? This better not be a trick!"

"Nope. No trick. You're free to go. Erm. I guess your ships got wrecked hard. You can keep these so you don't have to swim back to HQ. And hey, because you killed my boredom if you decide to come back as a guest I'll give you a discount on your drinks! How about that?"

"I... uh... I won't. But thank you."

Flying over to the other ship you stop Crocodile from murdering any more of the marines by tapping on his shoulder.
"I think you owe me a drink!"

"I killed more than you. And I don't remember agreeing to such a thing."

"We made a bet! And all of that over there is the work of MY subordinates!"

"Sigh. What do you want from me anyway? Don't you own all the alcohol in the city?"

"Yes but that's not the point! It's the principle! Kekeke!"

Leaving the remaining marines alone all of you return to the safety of the city and get back to what you were doing before. Crocodile was a bitch and refused to buy you drinks but he did concede albeit very reluctantly. Greki sends you a letter asking for permission to begin salvaging but you honestly don't think that meager amount of wood is worth it. Hell, judging by the number of explosions that occurred when you sunk their ships it's very likely they were not properly armed nor did they have much gunpowder or explosives. Over all this was nothing more than a good way to stave off boredom. But sadly with it over that plague rears its ugly head very quickly once more.

"BOOOOOORED!"

"There there!"
Ann tries to calm you down.
"Here. I got you something. Mister Murray compiled you a short list of potential projects. I think they might interest you."

"A'ight let me see them."

"Nuh-uh! Not until I finish patching you up!"
Lyda protests as she slaps two band-aids on the entry and exit wounds on your chest.
"There!"
>>
And since I'm too sleepy to properly assess your potential routes I think I'm calling it quits for tonight.
But before I leave I'd like to hear some inputs as to what you'd like to see a bit more of.
I got some stuff planned, at least three somewhat shorter encounters during the time-skip. Maybe a few more. But I'm open for ideas. Not gonna confirm or deny whether your suggestions are already in the works. That'd take away the surprise

If you've got some cool potential OC Pirate allies in the wings I think it'd be cool to meet some in Outer Heaven. It's something I've noticed looking back, there weren't a lot of actual pirates among your relevant original characters. Maybe it's by choice or you wanted to save them for the new world, but I liked what OCs have been shown and would like to see more.
>>
>>5030471
>there weren't a lot of actual pirates among your relevant original characters

Well you see there is a reasonable explanation for that. Which is making up groups is hard. But you are correct. I will try to rectify this. Just need to find the right scenario to insert them into it.
>>
>>5030905
You're absolutely right and I didn't start noticing that trend until like thread 11 or something, so safe to say it didn't reduce my enjoyment of the quest all that much.

But I think writing interesting characters and character interaction is one of your strongest points as an author, so seeing the by-play between our crew and other pirates, be they ally, enemy, or just a neutral party pursuing their own goals, would be fun I think. If we'll spend the next few month exploring our new neighborhood I'm sure there'll be plenty of opportunities for different characters to pop up.

As for scenarios, you could do some kind of event that gives multiple crews a reason to gather, like in some of the movies with the dead-end race or the pirate festival. Though having Outer Heaven means you always have the option to have characters you want to introduce come to us.
>>
>>5031010
Jokes aside I do actually have my reason for mainly doing things with local authorities or the World Government as enemies mainly. But you're right in that I went overboard with it.

Opportunities won't be a problem as two pirates bumping into each other whilst adventuring or searching for the same treasure is a given. It's more of the motivations behind hostilities that I need to worry about as well as the compositions and personalities of the crews. I think it'll take a while before I manage to cook up something but thankfully I have other shit in store for just such occasions.

And erm. Maybe I should tidy up the Social Links and the Character sheet first. I do need to get around that as well since I've put it aside for the time-skip

NGL I'm kind of surprised silvers bounty isn't even more stupid then it is considering he's essentially towards the top of things that annoy the government right now, what with the whole killing a shitload of gods, torching the holy land and making an absolute mockery of the entire world government right on their doorstep with a massive fortified den of thievery and lawlessness.

I think it's more a pride thing than anything else. If they make it higher they acknowledge that Silver has beaten them in some way, even if it's only a loss of morale.

Even worse if they do it that might make Silver want to increase said bounty, never mind what it'd make Luffy do to catch up or beat it.

Silver stormed the unguarded heavens and killed the Gods, Luffy broke /into/ the highest security prison they had, found out what he wanted wasn't there, and then /broke back out again/.

There is clearly a level of stupid you do not provoke and both Luffy and Silver have crossed that before they even left the Blues.
>>
>>5031030
My point was partially unlike Luffy whos still out of commission and grieving for his dead bro for a while, Silver's still out there doing stupid shit that continues to escalate how much can he piss off the WG, by the time Luffy and co get back in the game, Silver SHOULD have a much higher bounty by sheer fact hes been doing things to piss people off the whole time while they were off being low key.
>>
I don't know if it's been addressed yet but what is our current bounty now? Is it really only 300 mil? I thought that it would be far higher after raiding Mariejoi and cannibalizing a ton of marine ships, even beating more marine crews.
>>
>>5031176
It says 500.000.000 on the doc but who knows.
>>
>>5031166
Oh of that I have no doubt, but it's the amount that they'd even raise it to that's the sticking point.

Too high and Silver would gain credibility in the eyes of the WG's enemies and unsavory elements.

The Yonko's of course wouldn't spit in his direction mind you, save for maybe Big Meme sending over a [s]Honey Pot[/s] friend or two of Silver's for a friendly visit, but the lesser pirates already give him respect from Outer Heaven existing alone. No reason to make him Alliance bait on top of that.

The last thing the WG wants is for the revolutionary army to try and get chummy with the idiot. Not that we would because they're a bunch of fucking weenies hiding behind one or two strong folks like Ivankov and Kuma, lord rest his soul. But other sources? Provided their crews aren't weenies I can definitely see us pulling a Luffy or Whitebeard and building fleets of allies.

Silver's main Raison d'être is "Do as Thou Wilt", any anarchist madmen who want to watch the world burn and dance in the flames would try to sign on with him and provided the fires don't touch who Silver likes he'd hand them a fucking matchbook to watch the pretty colors.

That's half the reason Big Meme likes us, she knows damn well if we manage to survive long enough our mere existence is going to cause the house of cards the WG has propped up for centuries to collapse and anyone strong enough, ruthless enough, quick enough, or just downright crazy enough, will be able to grab a chunk of the world left behind.

Forget being a Pirate King, our cascading storm of bullshit might determine who gets to fill the Empty Throne.

That's why our bounty might well be stagnating even with all this bullshit we've been pulling, the last thing a wounded lion wants to show is a bleeding paw while the hyenas are circling.

Like I said, it's totally understandable, especially because I'm thinking about doing a OP quest myself and preparing, and thinking up interesting crews with believable dynamics is hella hard. I'd say don't focus too much on hostilities though, maybe have us meet a non-weenie crew we can team up with for a while?

On that topic I've been looking at animals with interesting abilities for Zoans, and stumbled upon the Pallas long tongued bat (pic related). I have to say, we really could've done worse on the special abilities side of things. Quoting Wikipedia:

>It has the fastest metabolism ever recorded in a mammal, similar to those of hummingbirds. Although it uses 50% of its stored fat over the course of a day, over 80% of its energy comes directly from the simple sugars that compose its diet of nectar, without being stored in any form.

>A 2013 study determined that their tongues have a mopping ability that is powered by blood, a phenomenon unique in nature. Elongated hairs at the tongue's tip, which normally lie flat, become engorged with blood when the tongue is protruded. As a result, the hairs stand in erect rows, perpendicular to the tongue. The tongue tip increases by over 50 percent in length, contracting its width to squeeze enlarged vascular sinuses along the tongue's length, that are directly connected to the hairs. During this process tissue capillaries turn from pink (little blood) to dark red. The blood vessel networks that enter the tip of the tongue are fringed by muscle fibers, which contract to compress the blood vessels and displace blood towards the tip. The efficiency of this feeding mechanism is believed to enable the bats' survival on limited food sources.

Interesting, but definitely less awesome than what we've got.

>>5031196
Yeah you pretty much summed up everything I would've had to say on the topic.
>>
>>5031387
>nigga's got a dick tongue
Damn nature, why are you so fucking kinky?
>>
>>5031387
>less awesome than what we've got
Only because Pervert isn't one of Silver's actual crimes. I'm sure he could turn that into a versatile war crime.
>>
>>5031468
Oh sure we'd probably be licking people's skin off and punching holes through battleships with it at this point, and if I understand how it works correctly we could basically do a very wet Gomu Gomu no Gatling with it.

But that's way less badass than a literal burning bat out of hell.
>>
>>5031485
>The blood vessel networks that enter the tip of the tongue are fringed by muscle fibers, which contract to compress the blood vessels and displace blood towards the tip
according to anime logic this would let us spit high-pressure blood jets

Also side note would Silver be sympathetic towards the whole Ace thing or not? I mean I kinda feel like he would be because if someone killed Eliza the resulting rampage would be bilbical in scope, but at the same time he'd still be annoyed it took Luffy two years to get out of his funk and hurry the fuck up to get payback.
>>
>>5032123
Yeah, Silver doesn't do feelies well, if anyone of our crew died, not even Eliza, we'd be burning a lot more that just a few marines. I got half a mind to go find Goofy after the first year, do an intervention, kick his ass and just get him out into the new world. Everyone's having the time of their lives and you are just here eating booger with mr. absent husband, fuck that, just train in between travels and log waiting times like everybody else.
>>
>>5032123
I feel like in regards to Eliza Silver might be a little skewed to thinking she can't die. Like asking a child if anyone could beat their favorite superhero. It just doesn't make sense to them. But he'd definitely understand the idea of losing someone close to him and he would probably feel for Luffy. It would be a bit muted because so far none of the crew have truly been on death's door under Silver's watch but still.

Been rereading this quest and just came upon this conversation between Silver and Will

>"Say Silver what do you think of clowns?"

>"Hmmmm? Clowns? I don't know. Never seen a clown before. Why?"

>"I just like clowns. If we ever get to a carnival I'd like to see a clown."

>"I'll give you a better one! WHEN we get to a carnival I'll GET you a clown! How's that?"

>"I don't think that's how that works."

>"Things work how you want them to.


And it stood out to me since Buggy was mentioned in this thread... And we're now in timeskip territory, which is when he becomes a warlord and founds his Merc company. I wonder if we'll meet him, is he already in the new world or will he have to pass by us? We could make him Outer Heaven's resident clown for Will's amusement.

Also seeing as Ann and Hagetaka have learned to make a Dauntless-mecha, I wonder if Stitches has finished her franken-zombie friend.


On a completely unrelated note, I've been thinking about Silver's heritage. I'd like to find out who his parents were at some point, even if they were complete nobodies, just to know... And also to see if one of them was a D.
I think (not sure tho) Spooky has said in the past Silver isn't one, and making fanfic MCs D.s is overdone anyway, but Silver would fit the mold to a T, much better than most others. Freedom and realising dreams is really all he cares about, and he's certainly the enemy of the Dragons. Hell we even have the epithet Dragon Hunter now and if that isn't badass I don't know what is. I totally understand if Spooky doesn't want to go that path, but it kind of feels like a waste for a character who really embodies all the D. characteristics in their extremes.
>>
>>5032370
He got the D from Eliza.
>>
>>5032370
>"Things work how you want them to.
Yepp. That's Silver alright

about his biological family: I don't want to know. At this point they're so removed from the person that is Silver that it doesn't matter, and he was built his own to replace them, someone popping up one day and saying "Captain Silver, your name is actually "Whatever D royalty" just doesn't mean anything other then turning us into another chosen one with a manifest destiny rather then someone who did everything he did *despite* the world around him.
That and if that happened I can't imagine a reaction other then: "No, I'm Silver. Fuck off"

Honestly I find the fact that this is true and that he /isn't/ one even more hilarious.

D's are a Dragon's worst nightmare, their mere existence a source of change and societal upheaval. To find a new one would inspire terror that is horrific, but at the same time familiar.

And then there's Silver. Silver who came from no D bloodline. Silver who quite literally crawled from the mud and the shit, pulled up by his hair by Eliza, shown the way to freedom, given a push, and then was left alone. Silver who saw that path, saw the bloodsoaked horrors he'd have to unleash to remain free, saw all the carnage and death and change before him.

Silver who started walking with a smile on his face and a laugh in his heart.

And now here we are with Silver, slayer of Gods, Defiler of Heaven, purveyor of Blasphemy by his mere continued survival, King of a Holy Land crafted by his own hand upon the base earth of mankind.

Silver who looked at destiny and told it to bend over because while he didn't know what "going in dry" meant he did know what Asskicking was and he had boots to fucking spare.

>They were met with mockery from those who did not meet you and warnings from those who did (meet us)
>Perospero and Smoothie warning the decouples to be careful around us
>The Big Mom pirates are told to be 'careful' around us.
Holy shit, now that is praise if I've ever heard it!

Fear of the unknown. They dont give the slightest fuck about anyone attacking them.
But Mama developing a sudden and random fascination with someone that she refuses to elaborate on? Worry
>>
>>5033227
You'd be worried too if your mom came home with a rabid badger and started treating that little shit like a house pet.
>>
>>5032695
Does Silver know it was his pal Teach who killed Whitebeard and won the big war?
>>
>>5033227
Oh you misunderstand; not afraid of us as a physical threat but once a Yonko's crew start talking about you as anything other then just some rando you're starting to enter the big leagues!
>>
>>5033250
Not initially but obviously the news spread like wildfire.
Especially after BB started seizing the WB territories
>>
>>5033277
What was his reaction? Or are you saving that?
>>
>>5033287
>Oh? That old guy? Good for him!
>>
We should probably give Will Silver's old bounty image since they apparently look similar enough for idiots to be confused.
>>
After the initial treatment is taken care of you relax on your couch and start guzzling some hard booze. It's good for booboos on the outside and the inside. Sadly you still swing between the two extremes. Either you drink properly and don't feel a thing or let down your guard and it goes to your head instantly. It's ridiculous. But it helps with disinfecting the wounds.

"Alright. Now let me see that list."
You take the piece of paper and squint hard as you look at it.
"Ooooooh!"

The first entry already manages to cheer you up. Your delivery has arrived! A couple weeks ago you placed an order on some plants. Getting a trade ship on the Grand Line is hard enough but one that is willing to make runs between the New World and Paradise is fucking impossible. Especially if the thing you order is not even that interesting. Just some plants from bum fuck nowhere island. None the less they are important BUT don't necessarily require your attention just yet. Unless you want to take care of it RIGHT NOW so you can get on with your project you can more or less ignore it. Now the second entry...

"Jaws. The hell am I looking at?"

"A proposition captain. From another pirate crew. They got a job for us."

You crumple up the piece of paper and throw it at his head.
"I don't work for anybody."

"Not that kind of work-"
He reaches for the paper and unfolds it.
"They got a big mark on their hands. Too big. But there is also a lot of booty to be had. They are willing to share if we lend them a hand. Sadly I couldn't squeeze much out of them. Their captain is smart. He wouldn't divulge anything unless we partnered up with them. Lest we steal it from right under their noses.

"Hmmmm. That is different then. Anyway is that it?"

"It's what I could gather at such a short notice. Nothing else is promising enough for us. Leave the small fish for the small fry."

You got options at the very least. And both sound like they'll wait for you to finish the other one. Good.

>Tell them to wait. I got to take care of something first
>Okay. Invite those pirates up. Let's see what they got!
>Other?
>>
>>5033310
Hmmmm. Yes. Another good point. I should write these down

"Alright Jaws! Let's see what these guys have to say. But this better be good."

"Well they were sure of themselves. One moment."

Your fishy friend gets up from his seat as you sit upright to look more proper for when your "guests" show up. You learned people tend to pay more attention to you if you don't goof around when they speak. Which by itself wouldn't be a problem but they always have such goofy and shocked expressions when you turn out to be serious that you got bored of it very fast. A few minutes later Murray returns with a gentleman in tow who is wearing a very long coat with a striped scarf and a very euphoric hat. He honestly looks more like a homeless guy than a pirate at first glance but looks can be deceiving. You certainly feel the faint smell of seasalt waft off of him as he walks, his posture seems awful but he's actually quite tense and ready to throw down at the drop of a hat. He is a seasoned pirate, probably been in the business for two decades. Given how he looks about 40-ish that's half of his life. Still you gotta show who's boss around here.

"So you're the guy?"

"That's right Cavalier. Name's Gustavo Rigami. Or if you wanna exchange titles I guess Thousand Cuts would be mine. Though I never cared much for it."

"Alright. I'm Silver. So what do you want from me?"

"Short answer? Muscle. Plain and simple. I got a good lead on an island you see. You won't find it on any map. Nobody has ever seen it I reckon. But I know where it is and how to get there. Just a small problem. It's in the Calm Belt."

"Ah."

"Yup. You see the problem? Thing is, I've been in the business for a while now. I had my fun. Now I want out. I want to retire and this gig should set me up for life. Me and the boys already agreed that we'll hang up our Jolly Rogers if we pull this off."

"Why?"

"We had enough. We've been in the New World for a while now but we ain't big players or anything. Just a couple of small fishes trying to get by. But we're not blind. We see how things are going. And it seems like a good time to get out before we get ran over by the new blood."
He takes off his hat and sets it on the table in front of you before sitting down.
"So here's my offer. You help us get through the Calm Belt and its nasties, I heard you're good at that. Do that and help us take over the island we'll split the loot fifty fifty. But afterwards you leave and we get the island. Can't think of a better deal than that."

"Hmmmmmmm. And how big is your crew?"

"Let's see-"
He starts counting on his fingers.
"Six plus the gator, not counting me of course. You already met my first mate-"

"What? No I didn't."

"Are you ignoring me-resu?!"

You look down at the table and the dudes hat starts angrily shouting and moving.
"That's Bibo my first-mate."

From the hat a tiny person jumps out, small enough to fit into your palm and he has a huge fuzzy bum.
"This small thing?"

"WHO ARE YOU CALLING SHORT-RESU?"

"Hahaha! He's sensitive about his height. Anyway some people say they are here for a fun time, not a long time. I think those people are stupid. Nobody says you can't do both and we'll do just that. With our private island and enough food and riches to last us a lifetime we'll be set. And you will leave a very wealthy man. Half a nations worth in gold. Tempting, is it not?"

"I have one question though."

"Shoot."

"How do you know how to go to someplace you never been to?"

"Those are trade secrets I'm afraid. Can't share them unless I know for certain you'll team up with us. So? What do you think?"
He extends his hand and waits for you to shake it.

>Shake his hand
>Don't. This sounds sketchy
>Other?
>>
>>5033419
>Shake his hand
If he's right we drown in gold; if he's wrong we get to go on an adventure. It's a win-win

>>5033419
>Shake his hand
>>
>>5033419
>Shake his hand
>"Fine. But if you screw me, you and your whole crew will die screaming. Better be worth it."
>>
I almost threw in a write in for Silver laughing at how it sounded sketchy to his face while agreeing to work with him, but if he betrays us it'll be more fun if he does it with full confidence.
>>
>>5033419
Honestly, gold is nice, but its about the 'island thats not on any map' for me.
However Im a bit weary about them just wanting to take over an island, probably with everyone thats living there too.
He said 'half nations worth of gold', what nation? It kinda feels like Croc wannabe before he chilled.
>Shake his hand
I guess if they do something we don't like we will just write down an annex to that deal with their own blood that says we can beat the shit out of them for whatever reason if we feel like it.
And take over that island too while at it.
>>
>>5033439
He might have said nation because it's more professional sounding than metric fuckton of moolah. Which shows just how little he knows his audience.

Woohoo! Burn! Maim! Pillage! Plunder! ADVENTURE!

You grin at the man and take that hand of his with a loud SMACK.
"You're on old man!"

"Good. Good! I'm looking forward to this little partnership! I guarantee you won't regret it!"

Naturally when two captains, both of whom are used to being the leader it's not easy accepting the fact that you have an "equal" now. So naturally you both decide to test the waters a little bit by squeezing the others hand just a bit harder. And harder. And harder still until you part your hands and there is a big white outline of your palm on his hand.
"Damn! Remind me not to armwrestle with the guy whose momma was a winch Bibo! Haha!"

"Don't sell yourself short old guy you gave it a good shot kekeke!"
You both get back in your seats and start discussing things a bit more as Gustavo puts his hat back on with Bibo riding on top of it.
"So are you gonna tell me what we're doing now? Or how?"

"Hmmmm. Maybe somewhere more... private?"

You get up and motion towards the curtains which lead to the VIP area. VIP stands for People With Lots Of Money. Upstairs the place is more dimly lit for the ambiance and it offers a bit of respite from the noise downstairs where there is at least fifteen barfights and a murder happening at any given time. Still there is some music playing in the background to ensure the privacy of guests here. You sit in one of the larger empty boxes with your entire crew minus Greki who is present via a den den mushi.
"Your guys?"

"They are coming. Bibo is getting them as we speak. I'll introduce you don't worry. Now I believe I owe you an explanation."

"This better be good-"
Marcy scoffs.

"You know what a vivre card is? Fancy piece of paper? Its pieces move towards each other? Bursts into flame when the one whose nails it's made out of dies? Well it just so happens that I managed to tag a ship with one. AND it is a ship from our target island."
He pulls a scrap of paper from his sleeve and sets it down at the table. As soon as he lets go of it the paper is slowly starting to get pulled in one direction.
"Pretty good isn't it? Not even a compass is that reliable."

"How do you know that paper is still there? They could've found it."
Jaws points out the obvious.

"Trust me. I know. As long as that ship is not at the bottom of the sea it'll lead us to our island. As long as we act quick that is. Don't know when they'll leave port again but I wouldn't wanna risk it."

"OY CUNT!"
Will slams at the table.
"Your word is not good enough-"

You grab Bullseye by his rattail and pull him back in his seat.
"Come on. Don't yell. Others are trying to have fun. But my sniper is right. How did you mark that ship that you're so certain?"

"Bibo did it. He snuck aboard while we distracted them and stitched the card into their sails. It was small enough to fit into his hand. No way in hell they spot that."

That almost sounds good. Almost. Still you're curious about the rest of his crew before you decide whether or not you like these guys. A few minutes later you hear several people coming in, all of them looking a bit like the old guy in front of you. Past their prime but not falling apart yet. And strong.
"Gentlemen allow me to introduce you to my crew! You already know Bibo. The man in the glasses is not a douchebag, he just can't see. But he's still the best musician this side of the Red Line. Say hello Franky."

"Eyo what's goin' on everybody?"
The black guy waves at you.

"The huge Wotan over there is our chef Ramsey. He's the meanest son of a bitch but you won't mind it once you taste his stuff."

"What's a wotan?"
You ask.

"Well I'll be. Never thought I'd see one of those. A wotan is a half giant half fish-man."
Jaws enlightens you.

"Yooooooooooo..."
Hook reels a little as her fantasy gets out of control.

"No Marcy. The other way."

"Oh. Where's the fun in that?"

"If you're quite done-"
Rigami coughs in his annoyance.
"That one there is Old One Eye. And the grampa carrying him is even older than he is. Say hi McDonald."

"Eh? Whazzat?"

"He's a bit hard of hearing and his legs aren't good anymore. That's why he carries the gator on his back. When he gets tired he falls back and lets the beastie carry him. But he's still a mean sniper even with only one eye. The guy in the afro is Ross. Just uh. Stay away from him."

"Hi! How you doin today?"
He seems very friendly and wears a big smile as he's waving at you with his hammer but the dried blood on it is making you concerned.

"He handles our ships maintenance. And last but not least we got sweet sweet Annabelle, our doctor."

"E-Erm. Hi!"

The doctor is a good deal younger than the rest. Maybe early twenties, maybe even younger. Will swallows quite hard as he looks at her.
"C-Cute!"

You raise an eyebrow at him.
"Come on Bullseye it's not proper to call a guy cute. Say handsome!"

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

"H-How did you know he's an okama?"

"I'm a girl at heart captain!"

"I mean isn't it obvious?"

After the initial shock wears down Will crawls behind you to hide from the creeps.
"I DON'T LIKE THESE GUYS!"
Come to think of it, neither do you. They are not the type of weird you like. Still as long as they make good on their promises it's all good.

"Anyway you came to us. I don't need to introduce ourselves."

"Fair. So are you ready to get a move on or would ya prefer some time to prepare? Keep in mind I can't tell how long our window of opportunity lasts."

>Now is fine

"Nah. We're always ready to go."

"Excellent! We'll meet you out at sea!"

They don't waste much time to get out of the place and you look at the others to see if any of them object. They don't. Truth is all of them could use some fresh air and maybe some adventure and this is looking like a good timekiller. Plus no proper pirate would ever reject the opportunity for more treasure. Will grabs his trusty ol' Rocket and prepares his newest force multiplier. Sadly he outgrew his old armament and it's not about as large as his arm so he needed something bigger to compensate. Meanwhile Marcella just shakes her head in disbelief.
"Seriously why did it have to be an okama?"

"You're still hung up on that?"

"I mean yeah? You think when he gives them a rectal examination he grabs both of their shoulders? Huh? Huuuh?"

"That's vile Marcy."

"Shut up you stupid fish you love it!"

After everyone grabs their essential stuffs you leave through one of the main halls but along the way stop to pull Pascia off the stage who was busy bellydancing. You tell her that she and Dias are in charge while you're gone and that you don't want to see more scratches than you like on the fort before leaving for the Dauntless. The black ship has her own special dock reserved only for her use. It's designed, one might be inclined to say "overdesigned" to offer the ship maximum comfort and support. Whenever not in use she's lifted out of the water where a dozen people tend after her every minute of every day. Whenever you can you also join them for the sake of it, pulling off nasty barnacles off her and washing up her decks with your bare hands. But now it seems that even she has grown tired of lazing around. A break is nice but ultimately a ship, like a pirate belongs on the water. After boarding her you take the wheel and order the dock workers to release the mechanisms holding her up.
"Ready Daunty? We're going adventuring!"

"Oh hell yes!"
You drop on the water and have the crew fully release the sails as you leave Outer Heaven for the open waters. Just outside a massive ship three times the size of yours awaits you fully coated.
"Tch. Fat bitch."

"Come on be nice. Not everyone can be the best ship!"

Looking up you see Rigami staring down at you.
"Why isn't your ship coated? How do you expect to cross the Red Line like that?"

"Heh. Watch!"
A hose springs up from between two floorboards and you catch it before taking a deep breath and blowing into it as hard as you can. Air spreads to the many bubble corals below deck and soon a great sphere of resin grows out of the ship and envelops the whole thing. Due to the amount of resin needed and the limited size of the Dauntless you can carry enough stuff for about three dives, one for the journey to fish-man island, one for the return and one in case you mess up. But three dives are three dives. And with that be it above, on or below the water there is no place the Dauntless can't reach.
>>
"Hot damn. You rookies really are as crazy as they say! Alright! Then let's dive!"

Dipping below the water you head for Fish-man Island where you'd need to quickly stop to refill your bubble with air but afterwards it's straight up the other end to Paradise. It's funny, you kept mostly to the New World all this time or Fish-man Island. It'll be funny going back to the kiddie pool once more. As you rise up Gu approaches you and he sounds concerned.
"Do we trust them?"

"What do you mean?"

"You know what I mean. Pirate Alliances never end well. What if they rip us off?"

"KEKEKE! I think they'll try much worse than that Toxin! But I get it. Let's just say that extending a hand doesn't mean you can't form it into a fist! Be positive but be ready to kill them all if they try anything!"

"Aye aye. Anyway want a snack?"

"Oh yeah! Get me a few meat skewers! I got a feeling I'll need it!"

You reach Paradise in record time and emerge not too far from Sabaody but you don't feel like you should go there. Two New World crews appearing suddenly would definitely raise some alarms and the other captain seems to agree.
"This way Cavalier! I'll lead the way."

"Alright!"

"Feel Good Pirates! Let's get our happily ever after!"

"AYE!"
"AYE!"
"AYE!"
"AYE!"
"AYE!"
"AYE!"
>>
And that is all I can do for today sadly.
Next session will be a proper one. Probably on Saturday. But there is a slight chance for Friday. I'll need to check my schedule to confirm that.

Anyway next we'll... get to know these pirates a little bit more before getting on with the adventure itself.

Have a good night!

Oh and I'll try to do those updates I said I would in the S-Links. Looks like I cocked it up well this time
>>
>>5033560
Good night Spooks and thanks for running
>>
>>5033557
Man I know everybody's suspicious of them, understandably, and they kinda seem like the type that would pull a "you know where this Island is, so it isn't safe and we have to kill you, sorry"

But I really hope they really just want a wholesome retirement. Would be kind of a trope reversal. Though first we'll have to see what kind of nation we're heading towards.
>>
>>5033630
honestly one of the things i like about this quest is how silver at a fundamental level simply doesn't trust people so he openly says shit like:
>>5033557
>"Do we trust them?"

>"What do you mean?"

>"You know what I mean. Pirate Alliances never end well. What if they rip us off?"

>"KEKEKE! I think they'll try much worse than that Toxin! But I get it. Let's just say that extending a hand doesn't mean you can't form it into a fist! Be positive but be ready to kill them all if they try anything!"

and thus doesn't fall for basic shounen tropes because at the end of the day for him it's all bullshit and he realizes he's a pirate doing piratey shit.
>>
>>5033630
Maybe if we are feeling forgiving, some of them might live comfortably enough ever after. But I'm not holding my breath.
>>
>>5033630
Yea, that'd to cool to but my bet is on bounty hunters.
We are newly arrived in the New World, so small fish in a big ocean.
We're easy to find due to the giant floating city shaped sign saying "Silver is here"
They're taking us to the calm belt, where it's really difficult to escape from a trap due to the lack of wind etc
And finally: Because we took a royal piss in the "King of Bounty Hunters" cereals at the tea party and I'd don't think that's just going to be ignored.

>>5033654
Agreed, Silver is a great character.
>>
Still rereading and just got to the Human Auctioning House scene where we showed the CD our Buster Call.
Which gave me the idea that at some point we should really kidnap some of them and trick the marines into killing them with a buster call. Just imagine their faces when they think they've finally killed us only to get a call that the Silver Pirates are where their intel said the World nobles would be, and when they realize what that means for the island they just reduced to rubble.


Separate thought because there was a lot of salt about Sanji being a cuck in those threads: My call is that the first woman he'll attack will be Big Mom to protect Pudding, or some other big moment.
>>
>>5034368
>one of the top picks for least womanly woman in the verse barring okamas
Man when even a tiny victory against the simp disease is seen as a great W you know you're turbocucked. RIP Sanjibros.
>>
Change of plans. Remember when I said there is a small chance I'll be running on Friday? It happened.

So new session later today!

Anime dude Simp is the most terminal simp. Any time one of them actually decides to do anything other than simp it's one hell of a victory.

Though in this hypothetical it's negated from the fact that the only reason Sanji is fighting his simp is in order to simp even harder.

I mean you take what victories you can, but fuck me if it don't ring a bit hollow. Hell even Mineta's "The boobs can wait" has more impact because he decided to simp after the job was done, like you're fucking supposed to when you're on the clock.

Ha ha! Time for Sandersonia!

Sailing the open seas is fun! It's been a while since you could indulge in this base pleasure. Normally the distance between two islands leaves you a few days of enjoying the journey but now with you ignoring every island that comes your way this little journey should take even longer.

It's still the first day. Meaning you're still on your way to the Calm Belt. The weather turns sour once or twice as you hit a storm but the anomalies of Paradise are almost like a joke compared to the New World, leading to interesting situations such as the time when you failed to wake up during a violent lightning storm and you soaked to the bone as you layid in your hammock.

"Aren't you gonna HELP?!"

"I am helping! It's called conservation of energy! What am I gonna do if we get attacked and I'm too tired from swinging around on ropes all day?"

"GET YOUR ASS OUT OF BED!"

After Marcella unceremoniously kicks you out of the hammock you join the others and enter active duty on the ship. You're in the middle tying up the sails because the storm is picking up in strength when
Will shouts from the crows nest.
"Sea monster! Starboard side!"

"Which is that?"

"Right!"

"NO MY RIGHT!"

A great sea serpent bursts out of the water and moves to swallow your ship whole when you take out your jezail and blow its head clean off.
"Friggin pests. Can't they see I'm busy?"
It takes a while for the skies to clear but when they do you have to realize the sun is already setting. A day has passed.
"How long until we get there?"

"Impossible to guess."
Marcella responds as she looks at her maps.
"That storm whacked my calculations. And it's not like you get a warning before the Calm Belt. You just enter and stop moving altogether. Actually no. You get to keep moving for a good while with your momentum which is just enough to get so far in that you can't easily get out."

"Aw beans!"

Omukade comes up from below deck and starts cleaning his hands of all the gunk that got stuck to them.
"That's just the way it is. No reason to be upset about it. Now who's hungry? I asked Greki to fish out that beastie you blew to pieces. Should be enough meat there for an okay feast. Murray can get salted pork instead."

Just imagining a giant fish-dish is enough for you to start licking your lips and rubbing your tummy.
"YE-"

"Hey you guys!"
You hear a voice coming from the large ship as it pulls up to you.
"Looks like things calmed down for a bit! We're having a potluck! Why don't you come over and join us?"

>Yay! Free food!
>No way man. You stay on your ship and we stay on ours!

"Oh cool! Free food! WE'LL BE RIGHT THERE!"

"Glad to hear it. Ramsey! More plates!"

As Rigami returns to his crew Hagetaka starts questioning your decision.
"Are you sure this is wise?"

"Not for them! Hey Toxin! What's a hotpot?"

"When you toss a bunch of stuff in a pot and boil them together."

"Coolbeans! Tiny are you done with that beasty I shot yet?"

"I got some meat right here. Just need to remove the bones."

"Okay. Bring some over! We're not gonna be lousy guests! And Toxin, make sure to season it well."

Ann just shakes her head.
"You know it's not very nice to play a prank on them, even if this is a trap."

"I literally don't care because it's funny!"

You board their ship which Greki only manages to do with a lot of difficulty as even a vessel as large as this one starts tipping when a giant starts climbing up its side. But you do manage to get there without too much trouble and present some of the sea serpents meat as a gift. Murray brought his own little lunch box in case the pot has any fish in it. And as you're about to present the Feelgood Pirates with your offering you get a good little chuckle out of them as Bibo the tiny person stares up at Greki like you would at a giant sea king. But you manage to compose yourself as you approach their captain who is currently holding a stack of pristine papers in his hand. However he sets them down when he spots you approaching.

"Ah welcome captain! Welcome to the Hedonists Litany!"

"Nice ship."

"Thank you. It was a luxury cruiser. Bobby refitted it with as many guns as we could get our hands on."

"It's a fantastic little ship!"
The shipwright waves at you with that same creepy smile.

"Of course it's not as erm... graceful as yours but she has her upsides."
He gives you a sly smile, clearly trying to mock the Dauntless for her diminutive stature.

In your rage you close your eyes so he doesn't notice the murderous intent behind them and give him as warm of a smile as you can.
"Thank you! She is the best ship at sea! Anyway we brought you some meat from that sea monster I killed. Wouldn't want to be rude guests!"

"Oh you shouldn't have."
He approaches the massive slab of meat and gives it a good whiff.
"Whooweee. That has some funk to it."

"That's what makes it special!"
You grip the meat mound and rip out a large chunk of it before shoving it in your mouth.
"It's so good you can even eat it raw!"

"Oh yeah! Nothing beats some prime meat right! Ramsey! Throw it in the pot asap!"
>>
>>5035119
>some might call the dauntless small...
>but i prefer "intimate"
>>
The large Wotan or whatever he is also gives the meat a good smelling and he looks at your chef with disdain.
"What is this? Is this fresh?"

"It was butchered just now. What do you think?"

"You fucking DONKEY! You think you can be a smartass with me? Do you?"

"If you can't handle sea serpent meat I'll gladly take it back. Would be a waste on a third rate chef anyway."

"Third rate?!"
Angrily the half fishman half giant picks up the meat and squeezes it so hard it gets compacted into a ball before he dunks it into the pot with the rest of the ingredients.
"I'll show you third rate! And I'll be expecting an apology after you taste it you muppet!"

You all shrug and sit around the pot, patiently waiting for the food to be done. However the situation gets quite awkward so Gustavo tries to alleviate it with some small talk.
"So you guys use a brigantine for a ship? It's a real beauty. Custom made?"

"You could say that."

"Hmmmm. Was it expensive? Can't imagine why you wouldn't switch to a bigger one with a giant for a crewmember. Seems inconvenient to drag a second raft around just for the sake of one member. Not to mention dangerous."

"It's fine. Like a cart basically. We're very good sailors so it's not a problem for us. And you could call the Dauntless small. I prefer "intimate". But yours is nice too. If a bit slow."

"Yeah that's the problem with large ships. But you need some... meat on them if you want them to survive the abuse in the New World."
He takes out a small piece of paper, rolls it into a cigarette and lights it with the fire under the pot.
"Or at least I thought. Never would've imagined a small ship with a erm, fresh crew like yours would do so well there. Tell me, is it true? The tales of your exploits?"

"No."

"Heh. Thought so."

"They usually don't do it justice. Or the government tries to cover it up. I don't care. Usually I just make a bigger mess until they can't hide it anymore. It worked out so far."

"Uuuuh-"

He seems at a loss for words. You take this brief break from the conversation to glance at your respective underlings. They are still not talking to each other but now they're shooting members of the other crew some glances. If you forced things a bit more maybe it could spark something between them. Break the ice so to say. Or you could just leave it at that. Anything other than business relations could be dangerous.

>Tell me more about your crew. What kind of adventures were you on?

"Tell you what. You want to hear the story? I can tell you what happened in Mary Geoise and Water 7. But in turn you gotta tell us your stories. It's only fair that way."

"Well... damn! I'm halfway curious. Alright what do you wanna know?"

"I 'unno. Cool stuff I guess."

"Hmmmm. Let's see."
He takes out a paper playing card from his pocket and starts doing tricks with it as he's thinking.
"Well there was that time I rescued Bibo from a circus. He was an attraction you see. Dwarves are not very common anywhere in the world. And I see you're confused so I'll explain. They call themselves the Tontatta tribe and they are basically tiny bee people. They don't have stingers or make honey but they are small-"

"HEY!"

"Sorry Bibo but that's the truth. They have these fuzzy behinds and usually they buzz around flowers, they are very good gardeners. Mischievous too. But supremely gullible. Bibo was invited to some "adventure" which meant they kidnapped him. Took my boy a full month to realize he got duped and by then he was a regular attraction. An actual flea circus. I was homeless back then. I basically snuck in to steal some food from the animals when I found him. I realized the little guy has it as bad as I do. I smashed his cage and took him with me. As thanks he stole a bunch of wallets for me since the lil' buggers are so fast you can barely see them. That's how we got in trouble at first with the authorities. We basically stole a boat as the guards chased us out of town."

"Cool! And what was one of your biggest adventures?"

"The biggest? That's a tough one. The rest of the world may see us New World Pirates as these monsters. But the sad truth is that next to those demons that rule these parts we really are nothing. So there is not much that'd impress you. There was this... one guy though. We were preparing for our biggest heist yet. It was going to be our last because after pulling a stunt like that you have nowhere else to go but the grave so we were gonna fill our pockets and disappear. Whoosh. We were gonna rob Whitebeard."

"Wow!"

"We had everything ready. Then he showed up. That old fuck. We bumped into this wrinkly guy in Whitebeards territory. He looked like he belonged in an old mans home and was alone so we didn't think much of him. But apparently he was also raiding the Old Mans place, said he was searching for something. Then he attacked us. It was the most brutal fight we ever encountered. All the allies we gathered? Gone. Months of preparation down the drain. But... there was a lot of us. And eventually we did wear him down. But without our small army we had no chance of accomplishing anything meaningful so we ran. Luckily the old fart had quite a bounty on him, several hundred million in fact. So we turned him in to the marines and cut our losses. The money we got from him was enough to pay back our old "friends" and live luxuriously for a little while. I think his name was Red-something."

If that's who I think it is I might have to give these fuckers a bit more credit. Not much mind you, but still.

"A'ight. Now tell me. I don't think we need to hear Mary Geoise, not before dinner anyway. So what's this about Water 7?"

You blank out for a moment and recall the screams of a certain panda as the island he's strapped to gets bombed to oblivion. Then you recall the important bits.
"Haha. There was a funny elephant! He turned into a sword! Most hilarious thing I've ever seen!"

But you do start the story over from the beginning, skipping a great deal of stuff but you generally explain to them what you did to Enies Lobby and why it isn't anymore. Needless to say their jaws drop when they hear this and they start giving you some strange looks. But Bibo breaks their silence with a quick "JACKPOT". They now fully accept that they may have hit the motherload when they allied with you. Though they still have some doubts, most likely thinking that a good chunk of your story is just boasting but if there is even a nugget of truth in there then that changes things.

The dinner turns more pleasant after that as the two crews start eagerly talking to each other. Well, the Feelgood Pirates start bombarding your guys with questions and they answer most of the time. But then dinner comes and things calm down until the nurse of the other crew starts making moves at your boy.
"So... did you really think I'm cute?"

CRANK
"You touch me and you're dead!"

"Oh come on! I'm sorry I deceived you! But trust me I could show you things you never thought you'd enjoy! Want to become a real man?"

At that moment Ann grabs him by the shoulder and starts squeezing it hard.
"I think that's quite enough Mister Miss! Listen to the boy and cease. Before I make you."

"Oh really granny? And what will you do? Recite bible verses until I'm bored to death?"

"More like drink your insides and shit them out you freak. Now please, take a step away."

"S-Scary!"

"Alright alright! That's enough!"
Rigami steps between the two.
"Annabelle be good. We're among friends here and we'd like to keep it that way!"

Things calm down from there as everyone finishes eating and you return to your own ship for the night. After bath time is over with however you catch Marcy strutting around the Dauntless in only her towels and she stops you before you go to bed.
"Ah Silver! I was just looking for you."

"No. I did not hide your clothes this time. Ask Will."

"I was just done showering idiot! Anyway I wanted to ask if you can hear anything coming from their ships."
She points at a nearby window which points at the Hedonists Litany. You say you hear a lot of cursing and stomach rumbling coming from there as their crew most likely suffers from a minor food poisoning.
"Good! Now hear me out! I don't like these guys-"

"You don't like anybody."

"That's beside the point! I don't trust them. And you know what they say about pirate honor."

"Yea?"

"I say we go and steal their vivre card. Now's the perfect opportunity! Screw them!"

"What? And be like the jerks who messed you up? Nah. I'm not about that."

"T-This is different! These goons wouldn't dare to enter the Calm Belt alone! We're doing the heavy labor here! So we deserve the lions share of the goods! Not to mention that these freaks are definitely up to something. You know we have to do it to them before they do it to us!"

"Nah. I keep my word. We'll kill them when they break their promise. Not before. Sends a good message."

"God. I spent close to a year with you but your naïveté still manages to make me gag."

"Shut up. You love me!"

Marcella starts rubbing her towel into her hair to dry it, trying to hide a smile.
"Just be ready to punch them in the dick when you actually have to."

"Okay."

Afterwards you return to the common room and sleep with the other boys until the sun comes up. For the next two days nothing interesting happens, safe for a stray pirate ship picking a fight with you. Rigamis ship the Hedonists Litany ripped it apart with her volley of cannonfire easily. On the third day however you hear Will shouting down at you from the crows nest.
"HEY! EVERYONE! I THINK WE'RE HERE!"

Flying up you take a spot next to him and look forward. He takes a looking glass out of his bag and hands it over to you. Through the glass you see that just before the horizon the water looks like it was ironed out by a giant.
"This is the Calm Belt? Looks pretty."

"I think so. Without any wind or currents there are no waves."

"Let's go in then!"
You move up to the precipice of the regular sea and stop there for a moment to prepare for the crossing. The ship of the Feelgood Pirates lowers a great paddle in the water. As for you Murray he already removed his top and he's currently tying Umibozu around Daunty's main mast.
"You guys ready?"

"Ready when you are Cavalier!"

"Alright! FORWARD!"

The two ships cross the border and you noticeably slow down. You can almost bite the tension as the only noises you can hear are the Litanys paddles and Murrays butterfly swim. In your intense focus your ears pick up something and you raise your hand to notify everyone.
"It's coming."

Your whisper is followed by a great rumble as the sea begins to froth from all the stuff coming up from it. In an instant you are surrounded by great towering figures, Sea Kings that are large enough to block out the sun. They felt the disturbance in the water and came to check it out almost instantly.

It's hard to tell whether the liquid raining down is water or saliva. Probably both. Everyone tenses up until it feels like they are about to snap at any moment. Then you start hearing voices coming from above.
"Hmmmmmm? What little morsels. I was hoping for something bigger."
One of the sea kings speaks but it doesn't look like anyone else can hear it.

"I want to eat one!"

"No. They are mine. I found them."

As they're discussing who gets to eat who you fly up to the crows nest and start shouting at them.
"Hey ugly! Yeah you! All of you! You're not eating anything! Now get out of here while I'm in a good mood!"

You draw your sword and make rude gestures at them to get your point across. Since you got a big mouth and are good at shouting they do hear it and look down just to see what the hell is going on. They lean in close. Too close. They look at your ship with their massive eyes and it freaks you out.
"Do my ears deceive me or does that one hear us?"

"I want to eat it!"

"No. I will!"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
You loose your mind as they open their giant mouths.
"NOT AS PLANNED! NOT AS PLANNED!"

Since your plan did not work you started to panic and made a run for it. Fighting did not even cross your mind once. Even if you slew one with great effort the dozen other island sized beasts could easily swallow your ship whole. Thankfully that does not happen but the sea kings thrash around as they try to eat you, dealing great damage to both ships. But you persevere and keep going no matter how hard the going gets until suddenly their relentless pursuit ends. They simply loose interest in you and dive back underwater. You're lying on your back spread out like a starfish and panting like hell. Everyone is pretty much the same.

"I-Is everyone okay?"

"I... hate you."
Dauntless grumbles.

She may be banged up but otherwise she's okay. Good. Taking stock of the rest of the crew you see that they are all present and all their limbs are accounted for. So no great losses. But you'll need to perform some repairs on the Dauntless and soon. The Litany however is a different story. Their larger, slower and less maneuverable ship could not avoid punishment as your ship did and theirs is in quite a sorry state indeed. It even sounds like it's dying.

"Aw hell! My ship!"
Rigami curses.
"Argh! To hell with it! This was meant to be a one way journey anyway! Listen you useless hunk of driftwood! You better not collapse until we get the-"
He pauses.
"WOOOOOHOOOOO! HEY EVERYONE! LOOK! LAND-HO!"
>>
>>5035321
>"I... hate you." Dauntless grumbles.
You know what? Fair.
>>
You get up feeling groggy and walk over to where Rigami is pointing and see an island off in the distance. If you get yourself together you should be able to reach it in about 30 minutes. But there is something that's bothering you.
"This is the place?"

He pulls out a paper from his sleeve.
"Yeap. Definitely! Now let's go while this junk can still float on the water!"

"Hey Jaws! Do you have a few more sets in you?"

"N-No..."

"Okay Daunty. I'll take you to safety then!"

Grabbing the chain with your bat legs you start pulling your ship as you fly while the Feelgoods chug along with the last ounces of their ships strength. As luck would have it both of you manage to reach the shore in one piece and you drop the anchor once the coast becomes visible under the waves. Wasting no time you all disembark and take your first steps on this new, unexplored land.

"SNIFF! AH! Smell that boys? Breathe it in! Get used to it! This is gonna be home from now on!"
The other Feelgoods start laughing as they are slowly processing what that means. Well at least they are happy. But you got other things on your mind right now.

"I saw manmade stuff as I was flying."

"I told you didn't I? There's people here. A whole kingdom in fact. And it's gonna be ours! But don't worry. You'll get your half as promised. We just have to take it first. Thank the heavens we didn't bump into the locals on arrival. That could've ended badly! They must be on the other side. Alright everyone! Let's not waste any time! Scout the area! I want to see a camp here in the next hour and I want to know where the fuck we are! Understood?"

"Aye!"

As his men disperse Rigami pulls out a piece of paper from his drenched coat and rolls a ciggie with it.
"Finally things are lookin' up for us!"

You turn to your friends and decide to copy the other captain and give them orders as well.
"Okay guys. Take a breather. I'll fly ahead and check out the stuff I saw. I'll be right back."

"Just be careful partner. The locals may not like trespassers."

Thankfully you got a perfect disguise available because you're a freaking bat. After a quick transformation you take off to the sky and check out the man-made objects that you clearly saw. It doesn't take long to fly above the trees and after that the thing you saw pops into view. Great sculptures chiseled into a mountain sit at the center but it's hard to make out what they exactly are since you're looking at it from the back. But you guess it's supposed to be spaghetti. Deciding to make a circle around the stone formation you check the statue out properly. When you get to the front you are greeted by two quite majestic sight. The first one does leave room for interpretation, several serpents carved out of the mountain. Very pretty, very impressive. But the second one makes it pretty obvious just what kind of island this is. The word "KUJA" is written there in big, bold letters.

"Oh. Ooooooh! That makes sense.... oh. Fudge."

There's no way we would be able to keep the island anyway. Once Goofy and Raleigh find out why food stops coming to them on their training island, they'll both be on us like white on rice. We could go toe to toe with Goofy, but we've got no chance against the Dark King. We don't know this in character, but it'll be a nasty surprise if we proceed.
>>
>>5035443
I mean as far as Silver's character so far has been concerned he wouldn't want the place anyway. He came at the promise of loot, not territory. If said loot does not materialize, or if it's some hairbrained scheme to gain control of the island using him as the muscle he's going to be pissed.

Hell he'd be worse than pissed, he'd be /bored/, and that's a far greater sin in the Great Book of Silver.

Also while we don't like the Amazons I'd wager we like Sandersonia more than we care for this lot, which to be fair isn't saying much.
>>
>>5035448
To be fair it's a case of

>an actual passing acquaintance - sandersonia
>just some dweebs who needed a bigger fish to feed them - old sea dogs

The Boas may be fucking weird but at least they aren't total weenies. And I'll say it now, being strong doesn't preclude being a weenie. The weeniebrained are still dorks even if they can fight.

>or if it's some hairbrained scheme to gain control of the island using him as the muscle he's going to be pissed.
Anon, that was the plan the entire time.

>"So here's my offer. You help us get through the Calm Belt and its nasties, I heard you're good at that. Do that and help us take over the island we'll split the loot fifty fifty. But afterwards you leave and we get the island. Can't think of a better deal than that."
We're literally their hired muscle, but were supposed to get half the loot while they get a nice retirement home.
>>
Place your bets, what're the odds Silver goes along with the plan just so he can get a good fight out of it before telling Oldie to fuck off?
>>
>>5035530
Oh I know that, but if that's all it is without us getting actual /physical/ payment is what I meant. If he thinks offering us, like, Amazonian sex slaves or some shit is gonna fly that's a whole new arrangement.

I ain't here for pussy, pussy is cheap as free, I'm here for moolah and/or shiny things.

And that's if he doesn't try to take us out with "friendly fire" during the actual raid or afterwards when we'd supposedly be "tired out" or what have you.

Like let's be real here, you don't take on one of the fucking Shichibukai and expect to get out without losses, especially on their home fucking turf.

Mate there is absolutely 0 chance of us *taking* the damn thing. Hancock may be dumber then a lead filled brick but she is bloody dangerous... Especially to people like Silver who tends to tank hits rather then avoid them.

I'm almost 100% sure they called each other by name. So even if a formal introduction did not happen Silver did hear it. But I don't remember either

This is not good. This complicates things. And you hate compliments. Wait. No, the other one! Regardless you turn around and start flying back to the beach where your ships anchored down. On the way back you hear noise coming from the forest. The Feelgood Pirates scouted quite far ahead it seems. Ignoring them you head straight for your friends who you know are still chilling around a campfire. Sure enough they are right where you left them alongside Rigami who's playing with paper planes to pass the time. With a quick shift you switch back to human form and try to look as natural as possible.

"Got anything?"

"No. We just started the fire. Omukade said he wants to make hot coconut milk for us."
Jaws answers as he looks at you.

"Oh coo-"
You shake your head.
"Never mind that. Put out the fire."

"Hmmmm? What's wrong?"

"Can we talk for a second?"
You squat down next to the fire.
"We got bamboozled. This is the Kuja home."

"What makes you say that?"
Hagetaka asks.

"The mountain. See those curvy things? I thought they are bridges that fell apart. They are big snakes. And they did what I'd do if I had an island and wrote "KUJA" with big letters on the mountain."

"W-Wait! So this is the home of the pirate empress?"

"Yes Stitches."

"B-But that's not what we agreed on. An island is fine but a Shichibukai is something else!"

"Well we were dummies and forgot to ask whose island we were attacking. Probably a bad move. Anyway now I just gotta figure out what to do. Think think think."
You start knocking on your own brain canister.

>Tell the Feelgoods the deal is off and you leave
>Go and confront Rigami about this
>"Well a deal is a deal right? Let's just keep going and see what happens!"
>Other?

>>Go and confront Rigami about this
Either he had an actual plan that we need to get filled in on or he's our biggest fan thinking this would go smoothly.
>>
>>5038634
>>Go and confront Rigami about this

Normally I would have said "and make sure someone is guarding Daunty" but... It's Daunty, I doubt anyone could steal her if they tried.
But hey, adventure we wanted and adventure we got! So let's make the most of before we have to kill the feelgoods and make a hasty getaway

>>
Looks like someone has some answering to do
>writing
>>
"I mean. Adventure I wanted and adventure I got. But I think our friend owes us some answers."
You hop back up and the others also abandon the fire just so they could hear what Rigami has to say for himself. As you approach him he barely seems to pay attention to you.
"Hey."

"Hello partner. Need something?"

"Yeah. I was wondering what's in your cigarettes because you seem a bit crazy."

"Why whatever do you mean by that?"

Marcella stomps the ground after hearing that.
"Quit playing dumb asshole! You have about five seconds to tell us what you were thinking or what your defect is before we start getting violent!"

"Whoa whoa whoa! Easy there girl. First tell me what this is about and I'll tell everything. No need to shout."

"The Kujas."
You reply.

"What about them?"

"Did you know this is their island?"

"Of course I knew. I told you we engaged them before. God you're daft. I just didn't tell you because I didn't think it was that important."

"NOT IMPORTANT?!"
Hook is loosing her mind right now but Angel pulls her back before she could do anything drastic.

"We too engaged the Kuja pirates once before. I can assure you this is not a matter you can ignore."

"True. A shichibukai is kind of a big deal."
Rigami takes out a piece of paper and rolls a cigarette with it.
"But do you know what sets them and us apart? Aside the Heavenly Demon himself all of these government clowns operate in Paradise. Big name or no they can not flex on us higher tier brigands. And look at us. Two established pirates from the New World. One is enough to contend with them, don't let anyone tell you otherwise."

"Even the greatest swordsman in the world?"
Gu scoffs at him.

"That guy is different!"
Rigami winces after hearing those words.
"Erm. Anyway. If you're all worried about the Pirate Empress just leave it to me. I got a plan to take her out. And the rest? Well... you said you survived an encounter with them before, no? Be honest if they didn't have Boa Hancock with them would they be anything special? I'll handle the empress alone if it bothers you so much. Just make sure to keep the rest off my back and we're golden."

"Now Mister Rigami-"
Ann walks up to the man and glares at him.
"If you are so confident in your abilities then why did you need us to escort you here in the first place? If you're so mighty shouldn't you be capable of handling a few Sea Kings."

"Well first off, running with our tails betwixt our legs can hardly be called "handling". And second, my abilities are not as "universal" as I'd like it. Handling a woman is easy enough. It's when they have an army that I start getting worried. Especially about her two sisters."
Rigami finishes his cigarette and flicks it away.
"So. Was that answer to your satisfaction captain? Can we start focusing on what matters already?"

>Yeah sure. Do you have a plan?
>Nah you're a weenie.
>Other?
>>
>>5038658
>Presumably he had something in mind, since he didn't know just how crazy Silver really was.
Supposedly.
The fact that we've been lead to a powerful government agent's home base leads me to believe this is a set up. He knows damn well how dangerous Silver is.

The tontata maybe hinting at Doffy involvement and as a third party is what I'm hoping for so we can meet the mad lad.
>>
>>5038674
>>Yeah sure. Do you have a plan?
You know what? Silver doesn't owe the amazons anything. Fuck them, actually, another chance to punch Handycocks is a good deal.

As long as ours aren't being sacrificed for his victory.
>>
>>5038674
>Other?

>What ability are you talking about, because if it relies on 'cock being a weenie then you're already fucked. And since you said it can only work on her and not her sisters or her army at the same time I'm not confident in or willing to just take your word for it.

You don't take on an army of werewolves with only one silver bullet you fuckface.
>>
>>5038674
>Yeah sure. Do you have a plan?

I'm gonna be honest, I don't think this is a good idea.... But I think Silver would be interested enough to see where it goes just for the brass balled fun of it.
Tho, again, considering what little we know of Hancock IC... I wouldn't expect it to work.
But hey, who doesn't like a good chase sequence?
>>
>>5038674
>Other?

>What ability are you talking about, because if it relies on 'cock being a weenie then you're already fucked. And since you said it can only work on her and not her sisters or her army at the same time I'm not confident in or willing to just take your word for it.

Now I'm wondering how many of Luffy's antagonists would get along with Silver.
>>
>>5038686
>>5038683
Agreed. This is a good one
>writing
>>
"Alright. What's your plan? And what ability are you counting on? Because if it hinges on 'cock being a weenie it's pretty dumb. And it only working on her and nobody else does not fill me with confidence."

"Now, I need to correct a few things. It does not work on ONE of her sisters. The rest are an issue because I am not underestimating Hancock in the slightest. I'm just not foolish enough to think I can take on a Shichibukai and fight her entire army at the same time. And if you're curious about my ability you just have to ask my friend."
He stretches out one of his arms and with a flick a paper card appears in it.
"See?"

"You want to confuse her with card tricks? I think that'd work on me but probably not on her."

"Nah. How about a demonstration? Hit me. Coooome on. Just one punch."

You shrug.
"If you say so."

Quickly you throw out a fist with enough force behind it to show you're serious about it but by no means all. Just your raw physical strength should be good enough. But as you charge Rigami raises a hand in front of him and you hit something hard and white tufts appear all around you, like someone cut open a pillow and waved it around. And your fist actually hurts, like you punched a concrete wall hurt. And judging by that confident grin of his this is no way the limit of what he can do. Granted you never got to experience Hancocks full strength but if you had to wager you'd say he actually has a chance.
"Okay. You convinced me that you're not a weenie. What are you gonna do about the stone?"

"Oh her charm? I got a solution for that as well."
He pulls his hat down so it covers his eyes.
"You see, a good way to avoid a womans viles is to never lay eyes on her. Simple."

You roll your eyes at that.
"Alright alright. And the plan?"

"Well the plan for now is to scout the area. Gotta learn about our surroundings so the amazons can't use it against us. After we got our bearings we make for the capital. And this is where you come in. Your job is to cause a big enough ruckus so the Pirate Empress comes out of hiding. Draw her to a wide open space."

"Uh-huh. And what will your useless subordinates be doing?"

"Calm down little red bitching hood, I'm getting to it. Bibo and the others will lie in wait and when the Boa sisters come out they ambush them, separating Hancock from her sisters. And I shall swoop in at this moment to take on the Pirate Empress head on. You just keep the rest off from me and I'll handle the queen whore herself. Once their leader is down morale will fall and the other amazons will follow suit. Any objections?"
>>
>>5038715
>"You see, a good way to avoid a womans viles is to never lay eyes on her. Simple."
I am reasonably certain you don't have to be actively looking at her for her to hardify you. Just have lustful thoughts or feelings in your heart. Not that any of us would know that. But if she starts just talking about how hot she is and you imagine it that should be enough, right? If this backfires on him I guess that answers my question.

>little red bitching hood,
That's a good one.
>>
>>5038715
>Once their leader is down morale will fall and the other amazons will follow suit. Any objections?"

Multiple.

>I dont think you understand how stupid these ladies are. She can turn them to stone and they'll still die for her. You beating her means they'll just go rabid and swarm your ass and as strong as we are me and my crew cant kill all of them quick enough to stop them from tearing your nuts off through your ears. And that's not counting if your crew survives the fight with the suddenly pissed off sisters and the now rabid army.

>You made this plan with a lot of assumptions, half ideas, and banking on the fact that you could even win a 1v1 with 'cock. You might win against her, but considering your plan hinges on them just giving up if you do I'm starting to think the only way we get this island is if we kill everyone else on it. And I dont think you got that kinda money.

That seems oddly... Multisyllabic, even for the new and smort us

But I'm all for letting him try, holding back, and then laughing if it fails and legging it.. It just sounds childish enough for Silver "Told you it wouldn't work! Kekekeke"
>>
>>5038728
When Silver gets annoyed he talks a bit more 'proppa', and while he's not mad this is kinda annoying. I mean even our plans seem to make more sense than this, and we called down a buster call for a taxi service.
>>
>>5038729
>and we called down a buster call for a taxi service
To be fair it is a guaranteed arrival so that's a pretty reliable way to get a ride.
>>
>>5038715
Gonna back >>5038724 Almost want to proposition drawing her out with the animosity she would have with Silver but doing that then leaving it to Rigami would be bitch. So instead we make a big show of knocking down those big stone mountain snake statues. Silver on one side the rest on the other with no intent other than causing destruction. This communicates that we are here to take over. The Rigami hits Handydandy where ever she goes with the aid of Stitches exchange and Will's shooting something valuable in that direction.
>>
>>5038729
Yea, so let him do it! We just gotta make sure our people are safe enough to gtfo should it go sideways, but come on now... tell me you're not the least but curious? Tell me Silver wouldn't want to have his pound of fun before this whole thing comes crashing down?
Besides, new island! Who wouldn't want to explore a little, what's the cuisine like?!

"This is the shittiest plan I ever heard. It's literally just basic tactics!"

"I don't see you coming up with a better one missy. We're in unknown enemy territory. Time is not a luxury we have. Can't scout the island, can't take stock of what they have and what we can use. Our best course of action is to attack swiftly while we have the element of surprise."
Rigami then looks at his watch.
"Speaking of which we really should wrap up the scouting and get to work. Let's hope we got lucky and they found a good path towards their city."

"I heard them moving about when I came back. I know where they are!"
You raise your hand.

"Good. Could you fetch them Cavalier? Then we can begin."

"Sure."

Returning to your bat form you fly back into the forest where you heard the Feelgoods moving around and dive into the thick of the woods. Close to the ground you turn back to your human form and start looking around. You spot a few footprints and give them a good whiff. The trail seems easy enough to follow. You start tracking them for a little before you get tired of it all and start shouting.
"Hey guys! Where are you?"
Right after that you feel something darting towards you and you dodge it with a simple jerk of your head.
"There you are!"

Turning on the Zephonim you use your clawed feet to jump from tree to tree in order to traverse the thick woods as fast as possible. After several leaps you start picking up bodies around you with your hearing and move towards them. Moving through a shrub you spot several glinting eyes in the dark which scatter, surround you and begin firing arrows at you. Mid jump you contort your body to weave between them before pouncing at one. The shadowy figure becomes much more clear once you get close to it, a scantily clad woman with a weird snake in her hands. Yeap, a kuja. She raises her snake and imbues it with haki to block your palm.
"Tch!"

"Hello! I'm Silver! Have you seen several idiots around here? I'm looking for them!"

"We already captured your friends outsider and soon you'll follow them! You really thought we wouldn't find you after you lit a smoking fire for us to track?"

"Oooooh. Yeah, that was dumb. But they are not my friends"
You kick yourself off of her and land a few steps away from her. However her friends have already surrounded you and they are training their arrows at you.

>"I guess I have to kick your asses now."
>"Gotta go back and warn Rigami."
>"Look this is a mistake. I'm not with those guys."

Guess there's nothing left for you to do but kick their butts. You close your eyes as you hear the twang of their bowstrings and start casually walking forward with their arrows zooming past you. They clearly don't like this.
"The outsider uses observation?"
The amazon in front of you lets loose three arrows at once in the hopes that you can't dodge all of them. Lucky for you your body can become very small. Turning into a bat you dash through the volley of arrows before turning back to attack the woman.
"M-Magic powers? Flat chest? Y-You're... a man!"

"Ye. I'm a boy."

"We must warn the snake princess at once!"

She tries to turn away to run but she doesn't get far as you grab her outfit. She doesn't notice this and keeps running in place as you hold her.
"You know I get why you want to stay in swimsuits all the time. It's kinda stuffy in here. But the capes are really not helping you."

One of the others notices this and lets out a sharp whistle.
"Let go of her you fiend!"
You hear something stomping behind you.
"Behold! Even the island fights against outsiders like you! Now die!"

A giant panther jumps out of the jungle and opens its massive jaws to bite you in half. However as everything above your waistline enters its gaping mouth you chuckle.
"Come on. Really?"
The panther stops and begins gagging. Slowly it pulls back without chomping down on you. In fact with its bulging eyes and a large drop of snot dangling from its nose it starts to wipe its drool off your shirt before adjusting your hat so it sits properly on your head once more. He sits there with its paws put together and a big dumb smile on his face.
"A'ight. You can go now."
With a lot of whimpering it dashes back into the woods as fast as its four legs can carry it.
"I didn't even know cats can sweat like that."

"W-WHAT?! What did you do to the beast?"

"He just realized he made a mistake. As you will."
With a powerful tug you pull the girl back by her cape before grabbing her by the neck and placing a leg in front of hers. With a simple push you make her trip over your knee and as she bends over you give her butt a few strong smacks like you'd give a misbehaving child. Her fellows watch in horror as your smacks ring through the woods. Naturally she begs you to stop, then she starts begging for forgiveness at which point you let go of her.
"Alright. Who's next? Nobody? Okay well run along now. I'll be back shortly. But I gotta tell the others what's up. Bye!"
>>
With the amazons thoroughly terrified you quickly return to the beach where the others are already in the middle of feasting.
"Hey erm. What's your face! Your weenie friends got caught by the Kujas. HEY TOXIN! Do you have some more coconut milk left?"

"WHAT?!"

"Sure. What kind you want? Cold or hot?"
Without waiting for your answer Gu cracks open a fresh one for you, knowing you'll pick cold anyway.

"What do you mean my men got caught?! Where are they?!"

"Sssssip! I don't know. Probably to their big fancy schmancy city. They apparently don't like outsiders. And fires."

"Whoops."
Gu then goes back to heating coconut oil and cooking fresh fish.

"AHAHAHAHAHA! Oh look! Mister Hotshots genius plan went up in smokes just like that! Who would've fucking thought? AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH!"

"Come on Hook. It's funny but not that funny."

Rigami looses his patience after that.
"This is all YOUR FAULT? Do you know what that means?"
You suppress the urge to say "more fun".
"Everything is ruined! They know we are here! They'll tighten security and hunt us down like dogs! We have no choice but to attack the city head on and tackle a whole nation on our own! That's impossible!"

"Chill out."

"CHILL OUT?! You little shit! My men have been captured and your response is "CHILL OUT"?"

"Yeah-"

>>5038841
>We can still surprise them. It's just gonna need a lot of collateral damage
Hmm, is it feasible to fix Dauntless soon enough for a fight?
>>
>>5038845
Ok, so while going full rambo would be fun... We know there's no holding this place, not without killing people we probably cant kill... And not for someone who didn't even tell us about who we were going up again, no, I say its time for everyones favorite part of the pirate alliance: The backstab! (I mean cmon, literally everyones talked about it, that means they've been looking forwards to it!)

We could just sit down, have a bit of bbq on the beach and when they show up (cause I somehow doubt any of the Boa sisters forget the madman who carved the dragon hoof into his own hand in front of them) just chill ask if they wanna join in or party?

>>5038848
Not a bad idea actually. It's sneaky, that's for sure.

>>5038851
Also very acceptable, it would be some good fun either way!
>>
>>5038857
We have several female crewmembers who can dress up like kuja to act as bait, including a literal huntress.
We have a fishman that can hide in the water and pull them under when they least expect it.
We have a poison master that can poison our weapons, create traps and taint their food.
Silver himself can literally turn into a bat to hide in and amongst the jungle, striking from anywhere at any time.

Going rambo isn't just an option, it would be extremely effective.
>>
>>5038860
I'm not saying we can't,
I'm asking if we want to, because we don't really have beef with them and have no real reason to start a full blown war... Now if it was our people that were captured, then yes. Yes definetly, but thet arn't so a jailbreak sounds like good fun. and in the end that's what we're here for.
>>
>>5038860
I mean it might work but what would it get us in the end? Considering this place is near the Calm Belt we couldn't even reliably use it for resources for Outer Heaven without Fishy's help. It'd just be a plot of dirt we dont need in a place we dont want to visit filled with corpses we didnt have to make requiring the help of someone we didnt need to bother to even be useful for the place we actually like.
>>
>>5038851
yea, let's break out his friends and bail
>>
>>5038860
On the other hand, if Silver decides to go full Gura Gura he could maybe level down most of the fighting, and the population of the island... And we still would have a Second Wind for the fights to follow.
>>
>>5038863
When the kuja are too terrified of the jungle to go out and hunt, food becomes a problem. At that point, boa and her sisters will come out to deal with up personally.
When we defeat them, we take the island for ourselves. The kuja clearly have ways to travel the calm belt, meaning that with the island under our control, so do we.

What does it get us? A base of operations that almost nobody can reach, and a way to travel the calm belt. Sounds pretty good to me.
>>
>>5038866
If we wanted a base of operations that nobody can reach then might I interest you in this fancy place called: The bottom of the ocean?

Difficult to reach, unexplored, full of free food... Just saying.
>>
>>5038866
How do expect to be able to travel the Calm Belt if you take the island? It doesn't magically make it easier to do. The only reason 'Cock can leave so easily is because she has two giant snakes pulling her damn ship.

"I mean if you can't win without having the deck stacked in your favor maybe you shouldn't have tried it. But not to worry. We'll rescue your weenie friends and get out of here easy peasy."

"What did you just say?"

"Hey Spider! How fast can you make clothes out of silk?"

"Depends on the clothing I guess."

"Just white capes? One for each girl."

"That sounds simple enough. I could do that in a few minutes. Why?"

"GREAT! Make them and strip!"

"W-What?"

"I saw the Kujas in the jungle. They were all wearing bikinis and white capes. You can all put on the same outfit and walk in without a problem! I can turn into a bat and Bullseye is small enough to latch onto your back if you make the cape big enough! We sneak in and rescue those guys!"

"T-That's actually smart! But I don't think escaping is going to be that easy..."

"It will be if I give them a target to focus on kekeke!"

It took some convincing and a lot of promises of jewelry and other gifts but you DID manage to convince the girls to go along with the plan. While they were busy getting dressed you told Jaws and the other guys to board the Dauntless and submerge her so that the Kujas don't get any funny ideas while you're gone. The ship of the Feelgoods will have to take this one for the team. Once everything was prepared you turned into a bat and hid in Marcellas hair to serve as her radar.

"Why are you in MY hair exactly?"

"This is the only one that's spiky and where I can hide."

"Fuckin- Hide in the cleavage of the boobmonster!"

"Can't. Will is doing that."

Looking over to the side you Bullseye talking with Angel.
"C-Can I enter you now?"

"Yes. Just please be careful. This is the first time for me as well."
Will then steps into her as her glass body gives way for him. Once he's inside the glass closes around him and conceals the boy perfectly.
"Well how is it?"

"Wow! I can see everything! Okay I'm gonna shut up now."

"Phew. It's done captain. Just lead us to the captives and we'll handle the rest."

"Okay! Forward!"

"OW! STOP PULLING MY HAIR!"

"Sorry."

With your guidance the girls reach the entrance of the Kuja city where everyone is on high alert. One of the guards even stops them to ask a few questions.
"What are you doing? We got intruders on the island. The snake princess ordered everyone to get ready for battle."

"Sorry. We just came back from hunting."

"Well don't just stand there! Get moving all of you!"

"Will do."
You manage to get through the main gate and everyone breathes a little easier as a result.
"Can't believe that worked. And I still can't believe how these whores are all strutting around practically naked! Buncha whores-"

BONK
"Miss Pesca please refrain from shouting all the time. We don't want to attract any attention to us, remember?"

"Yeah yeah. Hey shithead. Where is the place?"

Using your ears you try to pick the voices of your fellow pirates out of the crowd but it's a little bit difficult with all the commotion going on around you. But after a few failed attempts you manage to locate the place. It looks more like a large cage for beasts rather than an actual prison but you suppose that it still performs the same function. Will jumps out of Hagetaka and gets to working on the lock while the others keep watch and you take off. Now you're going to need to cause quite a bit of chaos to draw all attention to yourself. Luckily you have a pretty decent idea about where to do just that. Flying to an elevated place overlooking most of the city you find the thing you were looking for.

"You think she's angry?"

"I think she's angry."

"Of course I'm angry! Hundreds of years without any incidents and now all of a sudden it keeps happening! All under my rule!"
Hancock falls backwards but luckily her snake catches her as her sisters watch.
"If this situation doesn't get resolved soon I might just die of embarrassment!"

"Don't worry sister! We'll find these interlopers and bring them to you!"

As they try to reassure 'Cock a fourth tiny person also walks up.
"Get a hold of yourself snake princess nyon. Intruders arriving on the island means nothing as long as you, the protector of our kingdom don't falter in your duties and drive them out. Don't think of it as a stain on your reputation but as a test."

"One more platitude out of you Elder Nyon and I'll feed you to Salome."
Despite being harsh as ever you don't detect the same bitterness in Hancock as before.
"Sigh. Why can't things just go my way as they should? It's not fair..:"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Fn1X6x1Kcc

"I know right?"
You respond and throw a handful of nuts that you found on the ground in your mouth. Slowly the four women turn to face you and they appear speechless. The Boa sisters especially.
"Oh don't mind me. I'm just lounging around. By all means continue."
CRUNCH CRUNCH

"A-A man?!"

"YOU!"

"YOU?"

"IT'S HIM!"

"Kekeke! Captain Silver at your service!"
>>
>>5038929
I agree, yea.
Also lets put it like this
>We have to warn the snake Princess!
>So yea, there's a man who turns into a bad wearing a suit
>All three sisters look at each other
>Where did you put those prisoners?

I'm absolutely convinced we'l be saying hi to them one way or another... Especially if (and I'm sure they have) they read about our little escapades up in Marie Geoise. Oh I cannot imagine what went through their minds when someone chose to hunt down their nightmares.
>>
And unfortunately I'm out of gas. So I'll have to cut things off here.
Not sure when I'll be able to run again since my weekend will be pretty busy. Day of the dead and all that jazz. Family obligations.
Maybe Saturday is possible but we'll have to wait and see.

Anyway I wish you all a pleasant day and a good night!

I mean we've seen two before. And 3 out of 4 cases it allowed the user to affect their environment. The fourth is the odd one out because it affects the environment by default.
So the one consistent thing about them is that awakening allows them to ignore some of their fruits limitations

Holy moly. This board is slower than I thought. I fully expected the tjread to disappear.

Anyway I came to make an announcement. I am better now. Things have been taken care of. Now it's time to get back on track.

I'm planning on making a new thread for it however. And let's say I'll run on Wednesday at 15:00 GMT. A short one for now. Need to get used to writing again. Hopefully I can muster my crwative juices once more.

I'll see yoh guys in the new thread

It's not the least bit surprising that you don't get a warm welcome here but this is ridiculous. Not a moment passes after their gasps and Hancock is already charging you, looking actually kinda freaky as the veins on her forehead look like they are ready to rupture any second.
"HOW DARE YOU? You're the reason my Luffy had to STARVE! YOU MUST DIE!"

"What?!"
You roll out of the way as she kicks a sizable chunk out of the pavement. As you do a halberd comes down from above threatening your neck. Since you still need that you push yourself off the ground with your hand and do a few backflips to get away.
"Whoah! Rude!"
But you ignore their atrocious hospitality as you feel bile rising to your throat.
"And EXCUSE YOU! What did you JUST say about that Goofy?!"

"Because of you scum Luffy dearest was greatly inconvenienced! Don't you realize he enjoys eating good you bastard?"

"Okay! First of all. I have NO IDEA where that came from or how! Second, I did a lot of stuff to you but in general as well! I deserve to be recognized for those! Not stealing food from HIM damn it!"

Hancock looks like she's about to faint as she points at you.
"Mari, Soni kill this pest right now! If I have to look at him for another second I may die!"
You have no clue if she's offended because you talked back to her OR because you dismissed Luffy. But both are pissing you right off. Thankfully there are others present who manage to turn your attention away from this most grievous of insults.

"So you're responsible for these outsiders."
The large, fat lady with the halberd pulls her weapon out of the shattered ground.
"How did you cross the Calm Belt?"

"Very carefully."

"Mari! Enough chit-chat and take care of him already. And Soni! Why are you just standing there! Get moving!"

"Y-Yes sister!"
The green haired girl wastes no time and transforms into her serpentine form immediately and circles around you whilst her younger sister also activates her devil fruit. Her torso lifts up from the ground and she looks down at you. But her timid posture makes her look less threatening than what she could be.
"Y-You look different. Your eye, the arm-"
She quickly exhales and quickly mutters under her breath.
"-andthatgorgeoushair!"

"Yea. A fat guy hit me in the face with an axe."
You lift your eyepatch to reveal the white, dead eye.
"I cut this off when a guy in a banana costume tried to take me to jail. And Spider once snipped my ear when she was cutting my hair. I cried a lot. So I decided I'm not cutting it anymore."

This feels familiar. Surrounded by two giant snakeladies from both sides. Except this time one of them is serious from the get go and the other is breathing funny. Back then you had to put effort into dealing with them. Now you could probably do it and get to Hammy without loosing too much steam in the process, especially if you can take them out one by one. But at the same time you are not a cornered rat now. Fighting is no longer the only option. You probably could keep them at an arms reach and keep them busy. Or you could cause as much chaos as possible by taking them on a wild chase through the city. Decisions, decisions.

>You're not here for blood. Keep them busy (talk)

You can not forget about your allies. Likely they are currently trying to free the Stupid Pirates who managed to get themselves caught. So rather than fighting you should be focusing on diverting as much attention as you can from them onto you. And you got just the thing.

"Watch out he has a gun!"
The yellow snake shouts as you draw your rifle with a big grin on your face.

BANG

You fire Parley. But not at the snakes. The bullet goes up in the air where it doesn't hurt anyone. Except the seagull you manage to hit by accident. As many feathers fall down from the heavens you can hear shouting coming from the streets below, the amazonians are flooding towards you to investigate the "explosion". Meanwhile the three Boa sisters and the granny with them stare at you unsure as to what the point of that was.

"AFTER ME!"

After a quick little wave you dash off and jump on one of the rooftops. Naturally without the usage of the Zephonim. Wouldn't want to loose your pursuers now would we? And good thing too as it takes the three a few moments to realize what you just did.
"GET HIM! Don't let him escape!"

The two big snakes start slithering around and thanks to their serpentine bodies they can go from one building to another without any issues. Hancock meanwhile rides on the back of her juda snake to pursue you and the granny is holding onto the tail end of the snake for dear life. As they chase after you the amazons below can't help but stare in awe as their protectors with their sacred serpent forms revealed so unceremoniously move about on the roofs. Some of the smarter ones point out how they are clearly trying to catch something and the bravest among them join up. After carelessly looking behind your back you see dozens, if not hundreds of women in underwears and wearing white capes chasing after you. Screaming you try to dodge the volley of arrows they blanket the sky with. Thank god this is their home so they have to limit their firepower somewhat. Unfortunately the sheer number of them means they can easily surround you and as such they start leading you like you're some sort of prey. Well at least you got their attention.
>>
They are trying to drive you into a corner. No matter how tough you are you'd like to avoid that if possible. So you improvise. You slow down juuuust enough that the fastest of them can reach you, this includes the three Boa sisters naturally. Arrows, spears and other "elegant" (weenie) weapons dart past you as you dance around the charging amazons while still on the run. Really you could ignore them but if one got a lucky hit in with their haki imbued attack they could really mess up your plan. The real threat is the flaming halberd of the Marigold as neither Hancock nor Sandersonia bother attacking you. Ducking under one swing you start chatting them up.

"So how you guys doing?"

"Be silent!"
Marigold swings downward and splits a building down the middle as you lean out of the way.

"Me? I'm good. Been making good things for myself. Built an island. Perhaps you heard of it? Outer Heaven I named it. Nice place. You can come visit if you want. I don't mind the Shichibukai. As long as they behave that is."

"Enough!"

Mari swings once more. Her wide arcing attacks do a good job of dispersing the crowd a bit. None of the amazons, not even the Kuja Pirates want to get caught by her attack. Without having to worry about them too much you manage to actually start leading the large crowd subtly. They'd obviously try to stop you if they saw you going somewhere they don't want you to. So you look somewhere advantageous. The mountain looks like a good spot. Thinking that they can corner you there the amazons happily follow you to the mountain, at the tip of which you finally stop and take a good look at the force pursuing you. There's quite a lot of them. It must be about half the entire island. You can't even see the end of the large crowd.

"Whew! All this for little old me?"

Finally Hancock steps down from her snake and points at you. As she starts talking she bends her back backwards until she's looking up at the sky.
"Imbecile! You've insulted us Kuja for the last time. Now you have nowhere to go. Cornered like a rat we'll crush you and feed your mangled corpse to the cats!"
As she says that you hear ringing coming from down below and smirk.
"What?"

"Home run!"
Looks like the others were just noticed. Either they are opening the cages now or they got noticed as they were leaving.

"D-Did he just outplay us?"
Marigold stares at you while Hancock bites into her nails.

"Yup!"

"Thanks for playing but I have to go now. And uuuh. Sorry for invading your home. Didn't mean to, honest!"
Stretching out a hand you morph it alone into a wing and swing it downward to release a great deal of bat hair from it. This impromptu smokescreen gives you the perfect opportunity to escape as Observation Haki may let them see you through the smoke but it won't help them with choking on the tiny hairs.

In your small bat form you make your getaway and perch yourself on the tip top of one of the snake monuments to take a better look at things. Focusing on the city you start hearing things with a bit more clarity. Will and the girls managed to nab the prisoners and they are currently on their way out. Unfortunately they got into a bit of a fight but it's nothing they can't handle and they are already close to the exit.
"Okie dokie! Time to make my way to Daunty!"

"A'ight. I'll take things over from here."

"Wha-"
You turn around and see Rigami standing not too far off with his back to you.
"How did you sneak up on me?"

"Life has many doors captain. You just have to know how to access them."

"What?"

"Whew. Gotta say you managed to herd them up pretty well down there. If I can just land one good hit that should make things much easier."

"What are you doing? I told you to stay back!"

"Yeap. You said you'd handle it. And you did. You have my thanks. But now it's my turn. I'm not about to let our best chance at a good life just slip away like that. Now if you'll excuse me-"

"The plan is off!"

"Yours is. If you want to get out be my guest. But I'm not leaving this place. Period."
Rigami raises his hand and you feel his intention clearly. He wants to cut the head of the statue to crush as many amazons as possible.

>This was not the plan. You won't let him do as he pleases
>If he wants to die so badly you'll leave him to it

"No."

BANG

You fire Parley and Rigami creates a wall of paper in front of him. It's the shape of a brick but the thickness of a building. The bullet still pierced it but it was slowed down enough for him to dodge it. With that you just revealed your position and the amazons are looking up at you but you don't care.

"What do you think you're doing?"

"I said no. You messed up. Got your mates in trouble. I said we'd save them and then we leave. I don't know or care about what your crew means for you. But if you endanger mine I'll get pissed."

"UP THERE! GET HIM!"

You hear shouting from below. But that's no matter now. Rigami is the one you're focused on. His hand is twitching. He's trying to find the right moment to cut the statue.
"I should've known. Alliance between pirates never lasts long. I even went out of my way to not betray you and here we are."

"Alliance? You think we're equal? I came for the money..."

"Tch. Cocky bastard. Paperfold Cut!"
He flicks his hand forward and paper shoots out from his sleeve in a straight line. A never ending streak of white approaches and you feel that it's dangerous. Rigami intends to cut your arm off with that thing. You draw Argent from its scabbard and smack the thing out of the way. Two things become apparent. One, it's sharp. Two, it's heavy and getting heavier. Sparks fly out where you struck the paper. Argent looses a bit of its edge but the hot metal manages to ignite the paper.

"Paperfold Flush!"

He claps his hands together and as he pulls them apart you see dozens of cards flowing between them. He throws the whole thing at you in a wedge pattern. Learning from that last clash you turn up the heat a bit to burn the cards before they get close enough. Your body starts to exude enough heat to make the cards combust but to your shock they don't simply turn to dust. Instead they are still hurdling towards you but now they are on fire. Each one hits like a cannonball that was set on fire. Rigami chuckles at this.

"You fell for it. Fire is a pain in the ass. If it can burn the whole paper."
He takes out his lighter and makes a cigarette with his power.
"Do you know how many times you can fold a piece of paper? Seven. Well if you're not me at least. I can do it over a thousand times!"

Two invisible, whistling bullets fly through the air. One shoots the lighter out of his hand, the other blows the cigarette out of his mouth before it rips a piece out of his ear.
"You talk too much."

"W-what? You're fine? How are you fine?!"

"You shouldn't have attacked the guy you were begging for help old guy."

And I think I'll end things here.
Unfortunately I am not happy with how this turned out. I'm out of practice. Couldn't perform like I used to. Will need to look into that.

I will run during the weekend. Just don't know when yet. Will post an update regarding that tomorrow. See you guys then!

Fare the well Spook. I look forward to the upcoming elderly abuse.

I still had a good time see you around

>>5052638
Sorry I missed it spooks, overtime is funny like that. Anyways, good to see you're better or have put a lid on whatever is bothering you.

And as while you're unhappy, I'd point out that we're always our own worst critic... And this one got spicy! I like Anon's reaction to Rigami, it's that little twinge of Silver's sense of morals which makes him such a good character.

Also

Yes, yes we became bloody *Fabulous*

thanks for running

So I THINK I might be able to run on Saturday. That is if I can find a way to circumvent the range ban on my IP. Usual time?

>>5052739
Thanks. But I'm still unhappy with my own performance. No matter. I'll just try harder
