"Pretty much the only concrete thing known about the minks is that they are somehow tied to the moon. The mink tribe is at its fullest when the moon is full as it unleashes their terrible hidden strength."

"WHOAH! Hey Squeak! Can you do that?!"

"What-what? Me-me? No no no! Me no look at moon! Mom and Pop say so! Me only go to the surface when it's not a full moon to look at shiny-glinty stars. But me scared of moon."

"Come oooon! It'll be fun! And I wanna see it real bad!"

"No!"

Clown scratches her head at your idiocy.
"Anyway now that we know the "Devil" was nothing more than an oversized rat mixed with a drug induced hallucination we should get back to what's actually important. You making some noise."

>Oh yeah. Agreed! Hey Dexter! We'll chat later! I got an island to smash now
>Not so fast Clown! Look at all this stuff! I wanna hang out with the rat more and see all the gadgets he made!

"Oh yeah. Agreed! Hey Dexter! I got an island to smash. Wanna come?"

"What? Smash-break island?"

"Yup!"

"But this is where me-me lives!"

"No no! I wouldn't do that to you my furry little friend! I'm just gonna go up and beat up anyone that I don't like! You're not included in that of course."

"Hnnnng. Me-me not sure. Me got big flamethrower. But Wardens much too big-strong. Brother-friend should not go bash-bash if he knows what's good-good for them."

You laugh the ratman off and go to pick up the two kids who are still sleeping and shake them awake.
"Hey! Get up! We're moving. Eat some soup and let's go!"

"W-Where are we going? AH! DEMON!"

"Nono. That's just Dexter. He's a friend. Now come on. Eat! We're gonna start a riot!"

After prying open the mouth of the kids and forcibly feeding them tasty mushroom soup you carry them back through the tunnels since it's quite dark and only you can navigate them safely. Well, maybe Clown could but that's a different thing. As you put the kids on your shoulder however Dexter starts running after you.
"W-Wait brother-friend! Wait for me-me!"

He packs himself a pair of goggles and picks up his flame thrower as he runs after you. He explains that the tunnels are dangerous as all sorts of weird critters enter his tunnels that need to be regularly purged so things are at least somewhat passable. The rat is almost surprised that you are so capable of moving about in the darkness but then he remembers you are also a "rat" and so he just laments how not used to social situations he is. Several minutes later you get back to the surface and the mink puts on his goggles.
"Ooooh. The night sky sure is pretty-beautiful today-day!"

"I thought you fear the sky."

"No. Me-me only fears the moon. But me-me loves looking at the sky. There is something majestic about the night sky and the stars. Me-me always liked gazing at them."

"Hmmmm. Me too!"

"If you're quite done bonding with your brother from a different mother how about you get to work and do what you do best? Hmmm?"

"Alright. Alright."
After setting the siblings down you crack your knuckles.
"So. Where were we? Oh I remember!"
You take out your den den mushi and connect to the others.
"Hey there! Missed me?"

"About time you showed up! The hell happened Silver?!"

"I'll tell you later! But I found our newest crew member!"

"WHAT?!"
"WHAT?!"
"Oh boy."

"None of that you! Now remember what I said before? Find a warden each. Beat the snot out of them!"

"ROGER!"
"ROGER!"

"Finally."
Clown sighs with relief.
"Now if you'll excuse me I'm gonna go."

"Whaaaat? You're not joining us?"

"What? You want me to provide musical accompaniment to your fight? Don't answer that. Anyway I'll be a safe distance away from all the actual fighting. We'll catch up later."

"Good idea!"
You hurl the kids at them.
"Keep them and Dexter safe while I'm gone!"

"B-But-"

"SEE YA!"

Leaving the others behind you close your eyes and start regulating your breathing until you get hyper focused and your echo location pretty much covers the entire layer of the island that you're in. After detecting the sound of machinery you know where to go and along the way you pat a few workers on the back and tell them they should take a break. None of them take you seriously until the sound of explosions from the other layers hit their ears and they all drop the tools they were holding, wondering what's happening.

After a bit more walking you reach the end of the layer where several conveyor belts help carry the mined minerals, metals and gems high above with elevators for prison personnel to do their duty. You see a man talking into a den-den mushi in between shouting at the prisoners to get back to work.
"What's going on chief? What are these sounds? Another navy raid?"

"No. None of the watchtowers said anything about ships. I think it's a riot."

"Riot? Hmph. That's a first. Maybe we did go soft on these scum. Guess we'll have to refine our breaking program. Should I go over and help those poor bastards get things under control?"

"No. Stay at your post and make sure yours doesn't get out of control as well. This should be wrapped up soon."

"Got it-"
The man then spots you and scowls. He's an ugly son of a bitch with two crab claws for hands and big bulging eyes that glisten in many different colors. His skin looks like it's covered by a chitinous red, green and blue shell in spots all over his body. He also has a mustache though it looks more like two antennae sticking out of his face.
"Hold that thought chief. I think I may have found one of the perpetrators."

"Really? How do they look?"

"Like someone who'll need a close casket funeral in a second."
With an audible click he shuts off his transponder snail and tucks it away before pointing at you with his thick clawed hand.
"Hey you! Pretty boy! I don't see any dirt on you! So you must be a newbie. Pick up that hammer there and get working!"

"No."

He smirks.
"I was hoping you'd say that!"
His claws start snapping in excitement and you take off your suit so it doesn't get in the way.

Considering the situation of the island and what you just overheard you'd rather not waste too much time on this chump. There are plenty more fish to fry out there, including that chief of his.
"Time to mop the floor with you!"
Grinning you take off intending to beat that guy to a thin paste as fast as possible. Using Shakushi and your observation you close the distance and get ready to punch him in the face when you see that he's looking directly at you.
"Eh?"

Something blinds you, as if a blazing star is born right in front of your very eyes and you feel something hitting your face at a speed so fast even your observation failed to pick it up. Feeling your face distort and the flesh burn you are flung into a wall and everything above the waist embeds in the stone. Dusting himself off the warden takes out his transponder snail.
"Stoma here."

"Done already?"

"Yeah. Direct hit to the head. His brain is nothing more than slurry now."

"Good. Search the body and-"

"Aw man!"
You speak up and cut into the conversation.
"That was the good side of my face! Why couldn't you hit the one with the eyepatch?! Now I'll never be pretty!"
Vibrating the rock so hard you explode out of it you land on your feet and grin despite the fact that the right side of your face is barely holding together.

"U-Uh. I'll call you back chief."

"WAI-"
Click.

"Hmmm. How do you function without a brain?"

"Well Hook always says I don't have one so... you figure it out!"

"Interesting..."

The man takes the stance of a boxer and puts up his guard, practically begging you to try attacking him again. And you oblige. Rushing him you meet fist to fist and in the middle of your exchange you realize what happened but a moment ago. Each time he swings his fists they go so fast they flare up from the friction and when they strike they explode with the force of a cannonball. But that's not what's scary. Strength you can deal with. You can meet it, exceed it. What's worse is his speed. Not of his movements but his reactions. He does not loose sight of you even for an instant. Eventually you draw your sword, hoping that with the extra reach you can gain the upper hand. However he clamps one of his claws down on the blade and stops it dead.
"Nice knife!"

He throws another punch with his free hand and you grab it with yours. Finally you got him.
"Home run!"
Doing a backflip you kick him in the chin.

>>5313180
Oh damn, the Shrimp Shrimp Fruit, Model: Mantis. Sick, that might be one of the best regular zoans.

>>5313201
If we ever come across a poison dart frog zoan fruit can we all agree that toxic gets it.

He stumbles backwards after letting go of Argent and he holds his chin painfully.
"Argh... That smarts. Surviving one punch is crazy. Managing to match me in a boxing match is insane. Just who the hell are you? HQ really dropped the ball when they dropped you in without breaking you first!"

"My name is Silver! But what are you?"

"Shakokokoko! You don't know? Fine. I suppose I could educate you before I grind your bones to dust! I'm what happens when a fish-man and a human love each other very much. And as a hybrid I possess the powers of a mantis shrimp with both the greatest sight in the world and the strongest punch of any creature!"
He opens his claws and points them at you. Water is secreted from them before he clamps them down and the moisture shoots out like a cleaving blade at a speed similar to his punches.

Drawing Parley you shoot the watery projectile out of the air. But the collision was violent enough to stop even Parleys bullet. You smirk.
"Neat. I am also something else!"

"Oh yeah? What? Half human half moron?"

"Bat."
You holster your weapons.
"Silver Style Double Shift: Zephonim and Dumahim."

For the first time since the beginning of the engagement you manage to catch him off guard with your speed. Delivering a punch directly to his gut you manage to crack the hard shells covering that area of his body and send him flying into a wall just like how he sent you. But the difference is that while he can match you in terms of speed and strength he doesn't seem as durable. Coughing up the fluids that filled his throat on impact he struggles to break away from the wall.
"Cough. Cough. Bloody hell. Don't tell me all that nonsense was right and you're a demon who crawled out of hell..."

"No but he is my friend."

"Well if you think I'm gonna go down that easy you're wrong!"
Struggling a bit he gets back up on his feet.
"Just one or two more hits and I'll rip your fucking eyes out! Then we'll see who's tough!"

"Still me."

"That's enough!"
A new voice strikes your ear as the loudspeakers roar to life and the elevator starts whirring.

"C-Chief?!"

"Stoma back off and reinforce the other layers."

"But chief I can-"

"I watched from the cameras and no you can't. That man is the wanted pirate Cavalier Silver. A man worth 650 million."

"W-What?! I... understood."

The crab guy starts limping away and you roar after him.
"HEY! I'm not done with you!"

"But I am. Welcome to hell pirate scum!"
He giggles to himself painfully as he leaves.

Turning your attention to the "chief" you scowl. She's nothing more than a little girl in a military uniform. She even has twintails like she just came from the playground.
"Do I not impress you?"
She asks you as she steps out of the elevator.

"No. Not really."

"Then allow me to change your mind. You see there is a reason why I'm the chief warden here. It's because there is nobody who could beat me in this world."
She uses soru and appears behind you.

"Not impressed. I can do that too."

"Oh really? But can you do that?"
She points at your shadow which begins to bubble as something emerges from it. The girl gives you quite a menacing yet excited look as this transpires.
"You see I have quite a special power that makes me unbeatable! All I need is one touch and I win. For I ate the Clone-Clone fruit!"

A perfect copy of yours, down to your weapons and even the damage you just sustained emerges from the shadow and it briefly looks around before smiling.
"Hi! My name is Silver!"

And that'll be it for today.
Tune in next Friday when we continue!
Have a nice time of it until then

>>5313267
Thanks for running spooks!
I guess we won't be getting an impregnable fortress after all, there's not going to be anything left after two Silvers go at it.

>>5313267
See you later spooks

>>5313277
I try to stick to the japanese words for fruits
i.e. Gomu Gomu no Mi. Simply because 9 times out of 10 the english ones are cringe and I'm just used to it from watching the anime subbed back in the ye olde days

For clarifications
>Mr 2's fruit is the Mane Mane no Mi which lets him copy the appearance of others
>This is the Kuron Kuron no Mi (unless there is another word in nipponeese for clone but I couldn't find one) which CREATES a clone of anyone they touch

>>5313233
anon...

>>5313290
What? He doesn't have a fruit and if we fought someone like that he's the only one who could even fight them.

>>5313295
>he doesn't know

>>5313296
Well we can't get Magellan's poison fruit unless we attack impel down

>>5313302
>he still doesn't know

>>5313305
Then just tell me what I'm missing. I don't read or watch one piece.

>>5313309
Do you read the quest? We met the poison dart
frog fruit user five threads ago.

>>5313311
I vaguely remember that now. that was when we meet the beast pirates right. which would be even more trouble than attacking Impel down.

I wonder if their is a poison Logia fruit.

>>5313324
No she was the leader of a pirate alliance and Silver teamed up with her which lead up to the Bonedrewd island
She's also in Impel Down now

>>5313333
damn. well she got what she deserved for being greedy. should have listened to silvers advice. still leads back to the issue of needing to attacking impel down for a choice of 2 fruits.

>>5313337
I think Gu is better off finding and making his own poisons instead of relying on a fruit.

>>5313337
you know what the scary part is?
Silver can fly, meaning he can bypass the big ol' sea gate things they have around Impel Down/marineford/Enies Lobby... So he absolutely could, and probably would if he got bored one day and thought to himself "You know what would make the Marines entertain me more often? If I pissed in their cereal!"

Still unlikely to happen, but very possible.
Frankly the main issue lies in that Luffy broke in/out and Blackbeard recruited from there, and Silver isn't one to copy others.

>>5313365
theres also the fact that we're raiding the non wg equivalent of impel down right now. we got our own, fluffier ivankov following our tracks and pissing off our clown, and we're staring down the off brand magellan they have overseeing this place.

>>5313283
This is actually perfect. There's no quicker way to get this Island demolished.

Also, I wonder how the Silver Clone would react if we told him his creator is a child slaver.

>>5313628
No its not, I wanted a neat unconquerable fortress with Silver's name on it to lord over the marines, Peclo and Du Feld at the wedding.
And also because a giant fortress island would be a very useful asset when we inevitably and accidentally take over said kings of the underworlds operations, just a massive smuggler's den/warehouse/las vegas/armory.

West Blue Seadogs Z
Chapter 2

Something emerged from the waters next to the Dauntless. A yellow submarine out of which Z's reinforcements poured out. The first to land were the Pacifistas. Five of the killing machines landed on deck and took aim. Normally they wouldn't worry too much about mere machines but this time was different. These ones were off model with a slightly different look to them and clearly visible robotic parts. Either they were some sort of prototype models or new experimental ones. Whatever the case may be they warranted attention. Unfortunately for the Silvers the cyborgs were not what they should've paid attention to.

Two smaller figures also made shipfall and they got to work quick. The first one was a flamboyant ninja belonging to the ling-arm tribe and wearing a pink bodysuit of sorts. With his long arms he quickly flicked barely perceptible seeds onto the Silvers and began dancing.
"Mosa-Mosa!"

The seeds sprouted into fully grown, thick vines that constricted those that they hit. Only the nimble and those with acute senses managed to avoid being subdued in this fashion. Hagetakas glass body can not be constrained in that manner, Anns spider web alarmed her of the projectile in time, whilst William and Marcella possessed advanced enough Observation to avoid the attack in time. The others however got bound.
"That freakshow got a weird ability! Let's see what it does when I blow his head off!"
Will growled as he drew his trusty crossbow Rocket and readied an explosive bolt with it. Before he could fire however he was ambushed by the other enemy that showed up.

"William! Watch out!"
Ann with her tiny body jumped between Bullseye and his assailant. She did not know what the hostile girl was planning but it's a good rule of thumb that if an enemy wants nothing more than merely touch you it's imperative you don't let them. Knocking Will out of the way Ann did just that.

"Modo-Modo!"
The blue haired girl did not seem too bothered by the nuns actions. One target was as good as any. Her devil fruit immediately took effect once she made contact with Spiders body.

"KYAAAAAAA!"
Ann felt her body atrophying, her skin tightening around her frame, her organs slightly shifting around. Certain sensations disappeared while entirely new ones surfaced. Her back pain was gone and she could see better than in years. She became slimmer, shorter and felt a burst of energy. In short, she became younger. Her entire body seemingly reverted to the state it was in around roughly ten years ago.
"E-Eh?"
All except her clothes, which were now all way too big for her and she tripped on them the second she tried to take a step.

"That's one."
The blue haired girl looked at Ann as Marcella charged her. Taking out a gun from her belt she fired a small cannonball at Hook who was quite amused by this. No bullet could harm her. She'd just sprout hooks from her body and catch the projectile before it made contact like always. And so she did. Except-

File: Ain and Binz.png (171 KB, 500x281)

171 KB PNG

"Modo-Modo."
The iron ball turned into an anvil while it was still attached to her and it dragged her down faster than she could react.

"Try me bitch!"
Marcella growled and from every inch of her body hooks sprouted in order to prevent the girl from touching her.

"Modo-Modo."
But her plan fell apart as the blue haired girl swatted with her hand and a pink ball of energy fell out of it, right on top of Hook.

"Aw beans."
Marcella cursed as her body also started to regress.

As his crew fell one by one however Silver got MAD.
"GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY MATES!"
He took out his sword and gun with the intent of battering the man named Z into a bloody pulp. Sea stone or not it can't sap his strength if he's not making direct contact with it. Using the blade of the sword and the butt of his rifle he began hammering away at the massive mechanical limb. If he can't break the prosthetic itself then he'll tear it off of him. But Z did not seem worried about it.

Using his other hand the man with the shades parried the stock of Parley and used the opening to grab Silver with the mechanical arm. The oversized limb made cranking and whirring noises before it released an explosion from its palm, where Silver was held. After being sent flying the mad pirate clenched his teeth, transformed into a bat to regain control over his own movements and made a dive towards Z with a kick.
"SILVER STYLE: SILVER SHOOTING-STAR!"

He Z's mechanical hand with such force the man started loosing ground a bit and Silver kept at it despite his rapidly waning strength. But just when it looked like the sliding Z was about to fall over an unforeseen development forced Silver to stop. The sound of a gun cocking and a threat could be heard.
"That's enough! Stand down or I blow his head off."

Will looked up with his swollen eye, ready to cry as he was being held hostage.
"I'm sorry bro..."

That's part 2 done

On another note
I'll be running tomorrow instead of the usual Saturday slot. Same time though

The doppelgänger grins at you as it introduces himself. His smug, almost mocking expression is pissing you off to no end.
"Hey stupid! You're not Silver! I'm Silver!"

"No dummy! I'm Silver! The one and only!"

"GRRRRR!"
"GRRRRR!"

You butt heads with the clone and glare right into his eye. The whole ordeal feels like looking into a twisted mirror. The chief warden seems to be quite satisfied by the results.
"Oooohohoho! I always liked this part! Though I can only copy one person at a time it is a perfect replica of the original, complete with every item on their person! And while I can't control them directly I don't have to! You see any being recreated by my clone clone fruit will have an overwhelming urge to find and destroy the original so it could take their place! Once a copy is created you are as good as dead! Nine times out of ten mutual destruction is unavoidable! That last ten percent could go a number of ways but they all end the same way! You could run away or attack me and the clone would chase you down. You could beat the odds and surpass your current self but then you'd be too exhausted to fight anymore! And finally if the clone beats you its urge will be fulfilled and it will be free to do as I say! And when that happens I'll have it kill the rest of your crew! My power is unbeatable!"

"Hey! I hear something annoying!"
"Hey! I hear something annoying!"

"Yeah. Me too."
"Yeah. Me too."

"Let's get rid of it! It has no place here!"
"Let's get rid of it! It has no place here!"

You both simultaneously pull your heads back and throw an armament infused right hook which collide in the middle and cause streaks of black lightning to fly out from the point of contact. A second later like thunder an earthquake follows your clash and the island begins to tremble and the air roils. The chief warden can't hold her ground and falls over before rolling backwards from the powerful gusts of wind.
"Hnnnnng! Conquerors?! Why did it have to be a conqueror?"

The blast dies down and you go back to a neutral stance alongside the clone. This is... interesting. You despise the existence of this facsimile yet at the same time it's offering perhaps a once in a lifetime opportunity of kicking your own ass and by extension, a pretty grand time. The clone seems to be thinking the same as it cracks its knuckles in sync with you. But there is only one problem. The island itself and everyone on it.

>Let's try to mitigate the destruction as much as possible
>Who cares about things like safety anyway?
>Other?

>>5315310
>>Let's try to mitigate the destruction as much as possible
Gotta watch out for the crew. Also the kids but mostly the crew.

Also depending on how smug this bitch gets during our fight we might be able to talk our clone into shanking her so we should probably keep that in mind.

>>5315310
>Let's try to mitigate the destruction as much as possible

"Sheesh. If only all these weenies were not in the way this could be so fun!"
"Sheesh. If only all these weenies were not in the way this could be so fun!"

"Oh?"
"Oh?"

"Kekeke!"
"Kekeke!"

One good thing about having a clone is that he's thinking exactly the same way you are, so there won't be any problems with that. Most likely he's also thinking about not using his devil fruit for now as to not completely wreck the whole island. Which is great. After exchanging a grin you both draw your sword and run forward. Jumping mid-way you do a spin kick at the same time and sync up so well you can jump off the other with a backflip and after landing you exchange a few more identical kicks before finally taking a swing with your swords. The clash is not really remarkable and does not produce any ground breaking phenomenon. But the fact that you are perfectly tied in terms of strength speaks volumes on its own.

"Heh. You're pretty good! For a weenie!"
"Heh. You're pretty good! For a weenie!"

"But there is just one problem!"
"But there is just one problem!"

"If I am Silver and you are Silver that's a problem!"
"If I am Silver and you are Silver that's a problem!"

"Because there can only be one of me! Otherwise it's pointless!"
"Because there can only be one of me! Otherwise it's pointless!"

"So whoever kills the other is obviously stronger and will be the better Silver!"
"So whoever kills the other is obviously stronger and will be the better Silver!"

"Which will be me of course!"
"Which will be me of course!"

"DEAL!"
"DEAL!"

Meanwhile the chief warden is left speechless by this display.
"What is going on? How are they mirroring each other so perfectly? There is always at least a little discrepancy between the clone and the original! How can a person have such a one-track mind?!"

Ignoring the warden you look at your opponent with almost childlike glee. What better opportunity could you ask for to review yourself?

>Let's keep this fencing match going
>Put your sword away and focus on martial arts
>Time to see just how far you can push this haki thing

>Time to see just how far you can push this haki thing

The answer is simple. We need to beat ourselves in a way that doesn't injure us, while still satisfying the fact that one or the other is better.
Then we both turn on her.

Is it just me or does it feel like we've been on a massive L streak lately, like ever since invankov just feels like we've been failing fairly consistently, atleast on importantish rolls

You coat your fists with armament and swing away. As expected the clone does the same and you begin exchanging blows. Despite developing clever ways of using it you always sucked with armament. Maybe by seeing yourself use it from an outside perspective you can pinpoint what you're doing wrong better. You both smack each other on the cheek and for the first time you feel what it's like to be on the receiving end of one of your punches. The iron hard knuckles digging in your face are one thing but having everything down to your very bonemarrow shaken with vibrations is quite hellish. Your ears start ringing and your vision goes blurry for a moment. At the very least he seems just as affected as you are. But there is one difference. Somehow he recovers just a fraction of a second faster.

"Gotcha!"
Grinning he leans forward for another attack. You try to parry him but he reads you like a book and dodges to the side. He starts weaving from left to right and unleashes a flurry of blows one after another as he's swinging from side to side. That split second was enough for him to create an opening and now he's not letting you escape. Finally after what feels like an eternity he runs out of steam so he decides to finish off his combo with a big one.
"Silver Style: Silver Voice!"

He a double punch to your gut and sends you flying into a nearby wall. Cracks start appearing on the stone formation until the whole thing crumbles on top of you. With several tons of rock on your back and a great gap in one of the islands layers you burst out from the rubble and try to recover while panting. How could he gain so much on you? The answer is simple. He brute forced his way through. By forcibly imbuing more haki into his fists they took on a slightly different sheen. The additional force provided by the reinforcements was just enough to give him a slightly longer window of opportunity, from which things escalated into that beatdown.

"Uuuuugh."
You groan as you crawl out of that pile.
"No good. That's no good. Can't you at least show me something interesting? Man. Marcella is right. I am stupid."

"Kekeke! What are you talking about? You're complaining after I kicked your butt? Man what a weenie!"

"Maybe. But you know the rules. It don't matter who beats down who. The winner is the one that stays alive in the end. And staying alive is what I'm good at!"

"Yeah. I am! And hopefully so is my impostor! I'll be pissed if I can't have my fun with you!"

>>5315469
dice gods give and take.

He puts up his hands and you do the same. But neither of you attack or even make a move. Instead you both stand there and your eyes glint red but you don't move. In your very mind you play out how the next couple of seconds will go based on what you sense with your observation. You'll lunge at him and he'll do the same, both of you will narrowly miss each other after which you'd resort to kicking each other in the shin. For half a minute you'd continue this with no clear winner in sight until eventually-
"Oh crap."
You'd slip up.

"Kek! I win again!"

"Yeah yeah, just get it over with."
You put down your guard and let him deck in your face to save time.

After that smack you feel immensely frustrated and start hammering the ground with your fists. You're so evenly matched that the initial defeat may have irreversibly tipped things in his favor. That's the only reason he won this latest bout as well. It could be so easy to match him. But that'd require you to dump more haki into your attacks. And if both of you started doing that you'd enter into an arms race that'd result in both of you fizzling out in an instant. That's not good. It's something you could do before and didn't. You need something new and interesting!
"Bah! This is pointless!"

"Ready to give up?"

"You wish! I'm just not gonna bother playing along with you anymore!"

"Done playing? Yeah! I guess I am!"

He draws his copy of Argent and imbues it with armament before slashing away. The blade hits you square in the chest but thankfully it did not slice you in two. Your own willpower protected your tender flesh, hardening it to the likeness of steel. But it still felt like someone just smashed your chest in with a hammer. As sparks fly off the blade and air escapes your lungs however you can't help but smirk. That exchange finally revealed something... interesting to you. It's just a minute difference but it's there. Your own reinforcements managed to hold him off even though you did not use any more of it than before. Maybe he's just getting tired but the fight hasn't gone on long enough for that. No, it feels more like this difference was always there. As if using armament to defend rather than attack is somehow more efficient.

As you slide back you think about contemplating this a bit but now's not the time. And since it's unlikely that you'll discern anything more from this conflict you decide it's time to finish this.
"S-Silver!"

Nutmegs voice echoes from behind the clone.
"Huh?!"

He turns around in disbelief as he somehow completely missed Nutmegs presence.
"Made you look!"

Quickly you draw Parley and shoot him in the back. He glares back at you with blood red eyes.
"Y-You! Cheater!"

"Cheater you say? There is no fair fight between pirates! If you fell for me throwing my voice it's your fault!"

He gets visibly mad and raises Argent high which prompts you to raise it for a guard.
"SILVER STYLE: FLASHING BLADE HARMONY!"
"SILVER STYLE: FLASHING BLADE HARMONY!"

The blade of his sword turns black while you focus on your legs and arms with your will, locking them in place to make them more like an immovable statue. The two blades vibrate so fast they refract light and the cave is illuminated in a way it probably never has been. Your theory is proven correct more and more as he's struggling to overcome your defense despite pumping more and more haki into the clash while all you need to commit is more stamina to match him. That minimal amount of armament is plenty enough.
"I just came up with that move! Stop copying me!"

"Maybe. But I came up with it better!"

If you were in his shoe right about now you'd probably stop the futile attack and take to the skies. In sync with him you do just that and both of you prepare for a powerful downward kick.
"Silver Style: Silver Starfall!"
"Silver Style: Silver Starfall!"

You both make your descent and get ready to clash mid-air but at the last moment you transform into a tiny bat and fly out of the way, making him shoot towards the ground. His frustration makes him susceptible for your trickery, which only serves to piss him off even further. Especially when you fire on him again. He dodges this bullet and once you do land he runs up at you.
"I had enough! Silver Voi-"

As he's about to unleash a big attack you turn around and show your back to him. He does not know what you're planning and neither does he when you jump backwards. But once he touches your back he realizes that he made a grave mistake as you take Argent and impale yourself through the stomach, and him through the heart. Blood gushes forth from his chest and drenches you.
"H-How?"

"You don't get it. Do you? She said you live to kill me and take my place. So I guess it never occurred to you to do a suicide attack. Sorry I had to do it to you. But I know how stubborn I am. I refuse to die unless it's instant."

He coughs up more blood and begins to chuckle.
"Ke-ke-ke. No worries. I guess you were more Silver than I was. Say... which one of us was the clone again?"

"Does it matter?"

"No. I guess not. But... if you are the clone. And after all that you still obey that weenie... I'm coming back to kick your butt."

"I won't."

"C-Cool."

His heart beats for the last time and he closes his eyes with a smile on his face. A couple moments pass and his whole body turns into a thick black goop that falls apart on its own. It looks like nothing can beat the original. You pull Argent out of your gut and clean it off before turning around to look at the chief warden and pointing your sword at her.
"You next."

Alright. I think that should be enough.
I'm feeling quite tired already and this is a good enough spot to stop I think
I guess I'll see you guys next week then.
I'll try to squeeze more Z stuff out during the weekend but that depends on whether I'll have the time or not
Anyway, take care

Thanks for the run! Silver has finally conquered the unconquerable.

Welp hopefully she can't just make another clone again, that'd suck

>>5315698
Would that even work? With our idiot to idiot wifi they'd just see this fight relayed in real time, see we're the Silverest Silver and decide to shank the lady that created them because her whole plan is just to keep making cheap copies and that's an insult not only to us but to the Silver that's the copy.

>>5315723
Nah they'd think they were the silver who beat the copy silver, since we're that much of an idiot, or think the other 2 were massive weenies and the fact they even managed to get hurt by a fact proves they're both fakes, though probably by the 3rd clone the they'd make an alliance to kill the bitch first b4 killing eachother to finally prove who is without doubt silver supreme

More Silver action? I'll be there for it.

The woman takes a few steps back, a bead of sweat rolls down her forehead. Judging by how detailed her description of her devil fruit abilities and their results were she was quite confident in its capabilities. The fact that this was not among them must be disturbing her quite a bit. But even though you have her against a wall she's not looking defeated. Far from it. Her eyes are focused on you and she's barely blinking at all. She must be examining the extent of the damage you sustained, which to be fair is still substantial considering. Roughhousing with you is a dangerous thing at the best of times, not to mention the self inflicted wound you gave yourself with Argent. But you are still the most Silver a person can get. And thus you are still very much ready to fight.

She smirks.
"Alright! Got to hand it to ya pirate, you're pretty tough! But-"
She taps her own chest.
"You're not invincible!"

Her shadow begins to bubble as a clone burst out from it. It begins to speak as well.
"Sooner or later you will die if I just hit you enough!"
The clone too slaps its own chest and to your shock another one springs forth from its own shadow.

"Oh? Did I forget to mention that if I clone myself I'm fully in control of it?"
That clone also multiplies.

"And that each clone also possesses my ability?"
And again.

"Now! Let's do an endurance run! And see how long you'll last! PIRATE!"
"Now! Let's do an endurance run! And see how long you'll last! PIRATE!"
"Now! Let's do an endurance run! And see how long you'll last! PIRATE!"

The echo in her voice gets stronger and stronger with each successive clone. And each new one immediately creates an identical copy of itself. The cycle then repeats with seemingly no end until you are face to face with hundreds of the chief wardens copies.
"WELL? HOW ABOUT THAT?!"
"WELL? HOW ABOUT THAT?!"
"WELL? HOW ABOUT THAT?!"
"WELL? HOW ABOUT THAT?!"


You sigh.

>Capture her

Have a think about it, we need to figure out exactly who is responsible for this whole thing. Silver said so himself! Everyone needs to go, everyone. And the warden here could tell us exactly who and where everyone is, and then we can. Wait for it.
Rampage!

Also I do wonder if she can clone bullets, or if she never thought that far.

>>5325437
Would she even know though? Like the first rule of black ops is not letting people know who's giving the orders, so besides "common knowledge" of Du feld and Drug Pelco she might not even know who signs her damn paychecks.

She doesn't strike me as the type of person to even ask to begin with, provided the numbers are big enough.

>>5325427
>Kill her
no real reason to capture her, if we want info then there are probably others who can give us it, don't want to risk capturing her and her escaping but leaving a clone behind so we think we still have her

>>5325435
William maybe?

>>5325437
I mean, that isn't exactly "capturing" her since if she gives us anything we will just kill her after getting the info anyway.

>>5325427
>>Kill her

Kill for sure. If one clone escapes, it'd be annoying.

>>5325427
>>Capture her

like her fruit is nice and all, it pretty much gets us a free army, but exactly because of that i don't think spook would ever let us have it, like with how its shown im pretty much just seeing it as twices power from MHA and thats OP as shit so i think somehow or someway if we captured her she'd escape and probably become a lieutenant to someone we'd fight later

>>5325447
It is, and yes. We will.

>>5325445
And the first rule of organizing people and things is to have someone who knows what the fucks going on, even compartmentalized groups have people who know how to contact others.

>>5325454
I said it isn't because this "capture" would be so brief. I imagine Spooky what means by it is either taking her around with us or leaving her tied up here.

>>5325453
>but exactly because of that i don't think spook would ever let us have it
I'd ask him before assuming it like that.

>>5325458
I mean he can't exactly say "oh yeah fruits OP can't let you have that" since that would affect voting, so if i asked at best probably get a "no comment" though spook if you do want to give comment i wouldn't be against it

>>5325427
>>Capture her
This is evolved Silver, he knows how to prolong the violence.

>>5325460
>>5325458
>>5325453
Can we please not have the "do we steal the fruit" thing come up every time someone has a power? It was a cool moment, a really cool moment and is in many ways character defining for Hagetaka.
Why would we want to repeat that, it makes no narrative sense and would just have the quest devolve into catch the pokemon quest... And that's Kaido's thing. Not ours.

>>5325463
Because its an ability we do have, like it'd be bad writing if it just got used once and then never brought up ever again, it'd make the ability just a thing that was created as an excuse for us to steal a fruit, lie most bad anime that have a character whip out an ability only once then never have it be used again even if it would be useful, it needs to atleast be considered and talked about

>>5325463
From a narrative point I agree but we aren't the overall narrative, not quit at least. We are Silver and he has no reason to not want to do it. Unless he starts caring about narratives.

>>5325461
Why would he do that? Silver doesn't drag out his kills, unless it's a tenryubito.

>>5325463
Hey I never said that's what I want. My original point was that there is no purpose to capturing her besides that. >>5325466 does bring up a good point though.

>>5325463
the temptation of unlimited nutmeg works is too strong
>>5325472
silver had character development from his clone fight and now understands the usefulness of having restraint

>>5325472
I don't men torture, I mean he knows how to get to the violence. Which is what capturing her means, not prolonging her suffering but getting to more people to fight faster.

With 5 against 3 killing wins
>writing

>>5325460
That option is always on the table if the majority are on board with it

>>5325483
How would capturing her get us to more fights faster? surely the opposites true since silver would just kill her and then fuck off to fight someone else where as if he captures her, would need tie her up and secure her and all that

>>5325488
There is no one else to fight here she's top dog we know that. But, she can point us towards her bosses.

>>5325488
It wouldn't. It would get you the same number of fights at the same rate
It would yield information, which if you so chose could act on which theoratically could involve more violence
But I don't think I should have to explain what interrogation means

>>5325486
Dammit man now im conflicted, this devil fruit power would be really cool.

>>5325489
We can do that without having to tie her up or bringing her with us.

>>5325490
Are you being passive agressive or am I reading too much into that last sentence?

>>5325496
Erm. Not agressive in any way. Maybe I should've posted the picture of a smug anime girl to better convey the tone
I was just poking fun at the question

>>5325466
Lyda has powered up two of our crew, Hagetaka and Murray.
And that's cool because it was using her ability to do different things rather then "Yea let's repeat this trick over and over again" Now I'm sure people like Nutmeg and/or Clown would begin advocating Lyda to swap fruits because they see the literally woldchanging potential of that kind of power.
But Silver? Naah.

>>5325500
Why would silver be against it? like i agree silver would never change his fruit personally but he'd have nothing against stealing someone elses and giving it to someone he likes

>>5325500
Silver has admitted to repeating power moves do to forgetfulness and not caring. Does he even remember how Angel got her shiny new wings? Irrelevant he wouldn't be against a second time around either way.

>>5325504
Big difference between being against something, and not realizing its a possibility/thinking about it.

>>5325509
Yeah but other characters in our crew aren't as retarded, like yeah that logic works here of silver just straight up not thinking of it but in the future if we ever have a DF user captured or we are fighting against one with another member of our crew nearby they're entirely capable of being like "yo silver might want to consider capturing this guy, his fruits powerful we could take it for ourselves" and silver having a lightbulb flash above his head and going "oh yeah right that!"

Kicking your feet back and forth you contemplate what to do about her until she finally has enough of you and starts charging. Moments before the tidalwave of flesh overwhelms you she begins taunting you.
"You think you can just turn your back to me like that? Well do you?! I don't care how high your bounty is nobody can withstand me after facing their own copy! DIE!"

"Dumbass."
You begin to turn and midway through transform into your hybrid form. Using your massive wingspan you scoop up the chief wardens copies and keep swiping until you managed to gather all of them into a handy little ball which you hurl against a wall. The mass of bodies explodes and the wardens scatter. When they manage to get back to their senses and figure out what just happened their jaws drop.

"W-What? Where did that come from?! And why did the clone not use it?!"

"Because dumbass, I don't want my friends to get hurt. And if we used all our strength this island with them on it would be gone. So we didn't. But a weakling like you won't cause that issue. So I'm free to fight as I please. Now-"
You wind up your fist.
"Prepare yourself."

"Heh."
She smirks. And through that smirk you can practically hear her thoughts alongside a pair of footsteps rapidly getting away. She's calling you an idiot in her mind and intends to use her awakened ability to live on as the escaped clone. Realizing that you quickly turn and point with your wing in the direction of the steps. A beam of sound fires from one of your wingtips immediately killing the copy.
"WHAT?!"

"I said get ready. Not run away. You'll regret that. TYRANT-"
Clenching that wing back into a fist you ignite it and punch forward.
"-SCREAM!"
Punching the original one into the inner wall of the circle you unleash a jet of flame that if they were still present would've incinerated her copies. But this way all it does is make sure that nothing is left of the chief warden but a memory and it melts a great chunk of the wall in front of you into slag.
"Sigh. I hate dealing with weenies."

After witnessing a giant pillar of light and being hit by the heat of your attack several of the prisoners approach the area in a terrified horde. They look at the scene you left with you hovering above a pile of molten rock and they despair.
"W-What's going on?"

"I'm taking over the island. If you want to you can pick up arms and fight with me. Or just sit there and wait until I get to dealing with you. Sound good?"

Not waiting for their answer you fly forward into the next layer of the prison in search of your comrades. It doesn't take too long, not with the fight escalating to the point that the participants are making parts of the island quake with their fight. You find Jaws struggling against his opponent as the crab guy you beat the crap out of clearly managed to bloody him a bit. He hits the wall after a strong punch and he reaches for the side of his head which is bleeding profusely.
"Damn. Not again!"

"Oy Jaws! Need some help?"

"O-Oh. Captain. This is embarrassing. Thanks for the offer but I'm doing fine. I'm just a little-"

"Hmph. So you're finally here. About time you showed up. Help me dispose of this freakin' fish at once!"
The crab guy starts ordering you around which confuses Murray immensely. He seems to be thinking that you are a clone. After that he turns back to taunt Murray further.
"Well, looks like it's all over for you! I would've loved to filet you myself but business comes first!"

"The hell is this guy talking about Silver?"

>"Okay Jaws. I leave this guy to you. Kick his ass!"
>"You're looking kinda beat up. Mind if I help anyway?"
>Go along with the crab guy and blindside him
>Other?

>>5325537
>>Other?
>"Not a clone, killed him. Killed your boss too actually. Gonna kill you next if Jaws doesn't mind."
>If Jaws doesn't actually mind crush the fucker. If he does then sit back and root for your best mate.

>>5325537
"The hell is this guy talking about Silver?"
>Kekeke, he thinks his boss is still alive

>"Okay Jaws. I leave this guy to you. Kick his ass!"
Now the question is: do we stay to cheer him on or go looking for Dexter/Clown or Ann?
We've stolen Murray's spotlight a few times so I'm a little torn

>>5325537
>Yo jaws you want to tag team him to hurry this up or you want to finish this up solo?

gotta let the homie decide can't just come in and interrupt his own fight without permission, we're not some uncivilized brute, and the written out option just looks a tad close to making it sound like we think jaws might lose here

>>5325537

Looks like Murray will get to kick ass on his own

You smile.
"He thinks his boss is still alive!"

"WHAT?! That's impossible!"

"Oh. I see."

"Kekeke! So anyway do you want to double team this guy?"

"Actually Silver I want to take him down on my own. It's personal."

"Oh? Okay! Have fun then! I'll go see how the others are doing! But make sure to clean up! I want this island gone!"

"Understood."
Murray readies his anchor as you fly away.

"Shakokokoko! You really are as stupid as a fish! If that brat stayed you may have had a chance. But now I'll just continue bashing your skull in like I've been doing all this time! Then I'll move on and get the fuck out of here. This pay is not worth dying for."

"The only way you're leaving is in a bodybag. But before I kill you I must say... I endured many hardships, suffered a great humiliations time and time again, got exiled from my home and was called a freak by friends, foe and family alike. But your ugly mug is the first thing that actually made me reconsider my stance on wanting to make children with human women."

Warden Stoma glares at Murray for a moment and then explodes with great fury which propels him forward. Using both of his big claws he opens them wide, collects a decent amount of moisture between them and clamps them down right in front of Murrays face.
"Alpheidae Cannon!"
The blast sends Murray through two walls, propelling him way out of the island and into the sea. Confident that he just murdered the fish-man the crab-man adjusts his hat and grumbles.
"That'll teach you mother fucker..."

Stoma takes a cigarette out of his pockets and attempts lighting it with his overly large claws which he fails to do. But as he keeps trying to get his lighter to work he notices a shadow looming over him. He turns around and looks up only for the cigarette to fall from his mouth. What looks like a gargantuan and translucent sea king capable of biting a big chunk out of the island has emerged from the waters and is now blocking out the moon. In the middle of its head the outlines of a fish-man can be made out.
"Body. Meet bag. Fish-man Jujutsu Secret Technique: Kaiō-rui no Tenka!"
With a great hurl Murray throws the great mass of water on the half-fishman. The only thing that was left of him after that was a ship sized hole that went much deeper than the deepest point of the mines. So deep that it appeared bottomless.
"Phew. I need a drink..."

>>5325601
baka murray thats not a bag thats a serpent made out of water, mans need to get his eyes checked :V

>>5325604
Guy's gotta improvise. It held the corpse well enough.

After hearing and seeing a lot of water being splashed around you decide to keep moving because you're probably not gonna find anything there if you go back to check it out. Flying over to the third layer you spot something that catches your attention rather quick. Swooping down you approach the subject of your fascination and call out to him.
"Hey Dexter!"

"AH! You scared me-me brother! Do not-not do that again please!"

"What are you doing here? And where are the kids?"

"Oh. Brother please promise you won't be mad-angry with me-me if I tell you!"

"What did you do?"

"Nothing! But your female human-thing left! Me-me dug through two falls following her!"

"What? Who? Clown?"

"Yes-yes!"

"And the kids? What happened to them?"

"Left them with other human-things. Me thought they'd be safe-better with other human-things. No-no run in front of flamethrower by accident!"

"And why did you have to dig? Why not follow her the same way she went?"

"Because me-me can not fly. But worry not brother-friend! Me-me has a good-good nose! Me-me find her in a jiffy and bring her back!"

>Okay I trust you. Just keep her safe okay?
>Hmmm. No. I'll go with you
>Other?

>>5325656
>Hmmm. No. I'll go with you
>do you know why she left?
>wait... she can fly.

>>5325656
>Hmmm. No. I'll go with you
Ah yes, of course you cannot follow her. Clowns, much like the colorful cousins the birds, do fly very well.

>>5325662
Supporting. Clown's been holding out on us!

>>5325656
>>Hmmm. No. I'll go with you
We could just listen for her, right?

"Hmmmm no. I'll go with you. This sounds important. Do you know why she left?"

"No-no brother. When me-me asked her she just said "shut your mouth foul mink". Me thinks she's angry with me-me."

"That doesn't sound like her."

"No offense brother-friend but that sounds just like her-her."

You shake your head.
"No. But anyway we can think about that later. Now can you show me the way she went? And uh... did you say she can fly?"

"Yes-yes!"

"Okay. Then we'll follow her through the air! Hold on."

You transform into your hybrid state and lift Dexter up by his shoulders and have him point you in the right direction using his nose. You fly over a few more rings until you reach the innermost one. With the minks help you have no trouble locating her and you find Pepe standing near the very middle of the place in what looks like a crater at first glance but it's simply the most deeply dug part of the mine. She's talking with who appears to be a prisoner but something's off about him. The robust, dark skinned man is unlike all the other prisoners you've seen here. He's neither malnourished nor does he look like his spirit has been broken. Likely the only thing they did to him on this island is shave his blonde hair. In fact just from a glance you can tell that he is strong. Strong enough that he likely could've killed one of the wardens on his own, just not all of them.
"I appreciate the assist."
He spoke as he rubbed his newly freed wrists.

"Spare the gratitude Saturn. It's pure coincidence that I'm here. And were it not for the current circumstances you'd executed for your failure. So you follow my orders now. Understood."

"I'm aware and I understand. What is needed of me?"

Pepe looks up at you.
"That."

"Oh? Am I to die then?"

"Not yet."

You land before them after setting down Dexter and walk up to Pepe.
"Hey Clown! Friend of yours?"

The black man remains expressionless.
"Ah. Now I understand."

"I'm glad we are on the same page. Now hold it..."

"What's going on Clown? And more importantly why did you leave Dexter? If you wanted to free your buddy you could've just asked me."

She smirks.
"I'm afraid not. Because our partnership is about to come to an end. Captain..."
She speaks in a mocking tone and she's visibly disgusted just by saying that word.

You want to speak up and ask her what she means but when you take a deep breath to make a sound you suddenly feel light headed. Smirking Clown takes out two masks from behind her and hands one over to her friend before donning her own. With a simple sleight of hand trick she pulls out one of the dials you gave her. A breath dial to be specific.

"C-Clown-"
You clutch your throat and gasp for air as much as you can.
"You-"

But as you're gasping the black man uses Soru without a shadow of a doubt to get behind you.
"Rankyaku."
He kicks you with a storm kick in the achilles tendon. It hurts like hell but thankfully doesn't sever it. But it does make your legs buckle under the pressure which gives Pepe the opening she needs.

After a running start she vaults over you and wraps a belt around your neck like a scarf. She pulls on it tight and your neck gets torn open by what feels like several razor blades. The axe dials.
"Saturn! Continue! Do not stop until he's dead!"

"Understood."

He quickly circles around you, kneeing you in the liver before opening his right hand and forming hooks with his fingers.
"Shigan Ripper."

With a palm thrust he pushes his five fingers between your ribs and grabs your heart. Squeezing down hard he crushes your sternum and attempts to do the same to your heart. Blood shoots up your throat, out of your mouth and onto his face. The shock coupled with the choking air is too much and you pass out as he rips his hand out of your chest. Falling onto the ground and with your consciousness fading you overhear the two of them talking but only barely. The black man looks at his fingers, several of which are dislocated. He pops them back in place as he addresses Clown.

"He has an unusually tough body structure."

"Correct. And he reflexively reinforces his internal organs in response to physical trauma. Even if you manage to deal lasting damage he has an outrageous amount of stamina. Only valid option for assassination is immediate death."

"Roger."
Saturn moves in to snap your neck but he gets stopped by a very angry vermin wearing a gasmask of his own and unleashing a torrent of green flame. He manages to get back by using Soru but his prisoner garbs have been singed by it.
"Looks like we got a complication."

"It's just a beast. I'll remove it."

"Y-You will not lay a hand on my brother-friend! Even if you are his mate me will scorch-burn you to death-death!"

>>5325773
On one hand, it still hurts to see Clown betray us even if we saw it coming.

On the other, best rat friend is an obvious superior upgrade and it feels good to see him immediately defend Silver's life.

>>5325778
He's definitely a trade-up. Also if we didn't follow him Clown might have killed him, which would suck hard.

So are we all in agreement clown dies? anyone gonna argue to try and "redeem" her or bring her to our side properly? cause like while i could maybe see silver forgiving just for hurting him but shes about to hurt our rat buddy and our crew would never forgive her for hurting us in the first place

>>5325786
Of course. I do think Silver would demand to know why before he kills her though since I imagine that being betrayed is a very unbeliavable concept to him.

Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!
Silver is not going to take this well...At all.
Good luck Pepe le Clown. You, and a lot of others, are gonna need it.

Also >He's unusually tough
Yes, didn't you notice the gaping, bleeding, sword wound you could see straight through?

>>5325786
This doesn't happen in Silver's world, quite literally unthinkable. I don't know, and I wouldn't set anything in stone right now... How we deal with this is gonna be a big deal.

>>5325786
>>5325788
Being betrayed by a crewmember I mean. They're the thing he values most, his family.

>>5325789
This could go a lot of ways but Clown is DEFINETLY gonna die.

>>5325789
i just can't see the crew doing anything except killing her, and if she hurts someone we like it'd be the same for us, i just genuinely cannot see any world where she survives and manages to join the crew properly

>>5325786
I'd argue less redeem and more just, brutal beating maybe? To coin a phrase "there's one in every family" and Silver genuinely seemed to like her. At least enough not to cave her skull in at any rate.

That being said if a vote to kill her wins I personally wouldn't lose sleep over it, though it might fuck with Silver a tad.

"Do you really think you can stop us? Heh. You are nothing more than a dirty, stinking rat with a lighter."

Pepe approaches Dexter without any worries even as the mink points his flamethrower directly at her. She's confident enough in her speed to not fear him. And though nervous he may be Dexter is still willing to protect you no matter what it takes. But lucky for him he doesn't have to do that as a great wave washes over and pushes back both of them. Dexter is unable to stand his ground an begins rolling away while Pepe and Saturn manage to hold their footing but they can't exactly advance towards you.
"What's this?!"

"H-His conquerors haki? But he's unconscious!"

"Instinctive release? Is he that advanced?"

"NO!"

"It's blowing away the gas. We must assassinate him now!"

"Tch. Negative! We must fall back. I'll call for a rescue ship."

"Since when does Cipher Pol Aegis Zero retreat?"

"We got what we need. We must secure the intel! The entire crew must be feeling this! If we get surrounded by them our chances of success will plummet to zero! His crew is full of dangerous individuals, multiple of which are devil fruit users. Don't worry. They'll surely chase after us!"

The two of them with no other choice left fled the scene leaving you lying in a puddle of your own blood slowly drifting away with only a rat to keep you company.

And I think I'll stop there for today. Gotta get what little sleep I can get in this heat
Next time we'll move onto the aftermath of Clowns betrayal, after which you can decide how you wish to handle it
Have a good time until then

Oh and tomorrow I'll post more Z stuff

>>5325794
>The two of them with no other choice left fled the scene leaving you lying in a puddle of your own blood slowly drifting away with only a rat to keep you company.

RIP. Man what a terrible no good day for Silver and crew, even if they picked up a rat bro to make up for it.

It's gonna be interesting to see how Silver handles the concept of a family member utterly betraying them all in his world view.

>>5325793
Yeah but do you think the crew would accept that? like as i said i could see silver letting it slide but the crew would never accept it

Intel? What the fuck do they think they have on us?

Like real talk everything about Silver is, if not common knowledge, one Big News Morgan paper away from knowing.

Everyone he cares about is either wanted or royalty, his weaknesses, if they can be called that, aren't hidden because he's not bitch made, and his literal house is right next door to the cops and he still runs a goddamn crack den/brothel, while advertising to the fucking cops.

What the hell does she think she's gotten out of us?

>>5325796
Thanks for running boss

>>5325800
Motives maybe? try and get a psyche profile on us and what we actually want to achieve in life and plans for how we'd do it, but yeah overall this mission seems very stupid on their part

>>5325800
Well how often has Silver explained his way of thinking- of living- to Clown? As funny as it is to meme how crazy and incomprehensible Silver is to everyone else, it's getting really stale. Gaining a semi-solid psych profile on the mad lad is the logical next step from the Marine's perspective.

>>5325800
What about the defenses of our home.

>>5325799
No, none of them would. They'd tear her apart on principle.
As might Mary, lets not forget, last I remember her plan if you can call it that was to kill everyone we like. She'l probably react just as poorly, if not more so, to the news of someone else hurting *her* fucking target.

>>5325796
Thanks for running Spooks, I'm sad now.

>>5325800
Intel? What the fuck do they think they have on us?
"I'mma gonna conquer the world because I can"

>>5325803
>>5325805
Once again though, Outer Heaven is open to everyone and Silver crows his life philosophy to the rooftops whenever the mood strikes him or whenever some idiot tries their luck and gets strapped to a cannon or keelhauled for their idiocy.

She could have literally walked up and asked him and he would have told her with all the conviction of a southern Jehovah's Witness being let inside your house.

overall got to admit just have never been a fan of the clown plotline, like we joke but the fact it was so obvious just kinda killed the entire thing for me straight from the start as it just kinda dragged til the inevitable betrayal

>>5325807
Marines visit on the regular to get fucked up, their dick sucked and/or fuck Okama. They could walk around and make a goddamn map.

Open port means Open goddamned Port.

>>5325810
I like it.
It is inevitable that someone, at some point, decides to use Silver's trust and family issues against him and I've been really impressed with everyone for playing along as Silver would have rather then shouting "Shes a fed, get'er!"

And the aftermath is going to be all kinds of spicy with a crumbling understanding of the world, emotions, drama... Good shit all around.

>>5325810
I could've made it subtle as fuck
But when dealing with anons you must chose between making it glaringly obvious or they won't realize it
In this case I wanted it to be known because I didn't want it to come across as an asspull

>>5325815
oh yeah don't get me wrong i think a betrayal arc is nice especially for a character like silver, but with clown it was just so blatantly obvious, like idk if spook decided make it so obvious right from the start to stem any salt from the inevitable betrayal but to me it just took any kind of punch out of the entire plot

>>5325810
I think it's fine because im not in it for plot twists. To me, the real thing has only just begun because what I'll find interesting is the answers to these questions:
1. How is Silver going to deal with this betrayal?
2. How is the rest of the crew going to deal with this betrayal?
3. What are Pepe's motivations?
4. What were her real thoughts and feelings when she was in the crew?
5. How will the inevitable confrontation go down?
6. What lessons, if any, will Silver take from this?

>>5325821
I preferred it to be honest. It made it fun to play Silver IC and just let Clown be Clown.

I mean subtlety is all well and good but Silver didn't need an Aizen to be "fooled."

>>5325821
i suppose, but like it was almost comedic how obvious it was, like she may aswell have had an evil mustache that she twirled and silver always coming across her making reports that then has her go "o-oh im not reporting to my boss the world goverment or anything like that hahahahah" like it was so comedically obviously it completely snuffed out any potential drama the plotline had potential for

>>5325833
I think you had the wrong expectations thrn
Like I said, it wasn't meant to be a mystery. It was a tease

>>5325833
yeah with more thought i think its the fact it was comedic more than it was obvious, like if there was an omake of clown making a report at the very end of the thread she was introduced don't think i'd have disliked it so much, and that'd still have achieved the same effect, its just to me every scene with her was practically comedic, so the entire character in my head has been tinted as a comedy joke

>>5325833
Yea I'm with >>5325832 >>5325827
These guys, Spooks is fantastic with character work and this plays straight into that so you know it's gonna be fantastic.

>>5325839
which kinda ruins any dramatic stakes that the character could produce

"Why is the clown funny!? I don't get it, the clown is not supposed to make me laugh! Clowns are serious business dammit!"

>>5325827
I think I can take a rough stab at some of those. Silver, for all his faults, genuinely thought Pepe was family, only for it to turn out Pepe wasn't family but was only "pretending" to be family when her actual family was the Marines.

Silver would, sort of, understand that but I'd think the idea in and of itself would disgust him at an almost visceral level.

It's like, some people are really into nasty shit, but Silver isn't.

Basically I'm saying Silver's gonna look at Pepe the same way someone really into a church would look at the lady that says she does donkey shows for 12 dollars.

At least on the bright side this means we can maybe eventually possibly get buggy as our next clown (if we don't forsake clowns all together and decide to just get a normal musician).

I'm going to be disappointed if Pepe isn't the epilogue/interlude. It would be nice to see her perspective/feeling about silver.

>>5326068
>buggy joining the crew
oh my fucking god, please yes. we need a clown, and he's perfect.

I think I've figured it out, remember the conversation that Silver had with Nico Robin on Outer Heaven and the one with Nutmeg on the ship right before he fought Ivankov? If it's anything, It's most likely the fact that Silver can read Poneglyphs. That is the most extremely valuable intel that relates to him and Pepe was present in both occasions in which it was mentioned.

>>5326140
> It's most likely the fact that Silver can read Poneglyphs.

Well one more thing to add to the pile of reasons the World Government wants us dead I guess? Gonna have to step up our War Crime game then,

>>5326140
Yea that is probably it.
"Yea so he can read Poneglyphs, and is planning on conquering the world by killing anything and everyone in his path" might get their knickers in a twist.
On the other hand: Fuck you rest of the "worst" generation, Silver's getting a bigger bounty!

>>5326109
And you could even argue it's in Character because it's about his only way of getting a shot at the Strawhats, plus we're rich as fuck

>>5326762
Buggy would bail the moment he saw Silver fight once. Hell his finely tuned survivor's instinct probably repels him from Silver like like dishsoap and grease.

>>5326921
Mate buggy would legg it the moment he heard the name "Silver" and got reminded of Eliza.
Nevermind all of the shit we actually do.

The one thing I want to keep in mind when we vote on how to handle Clown, is that we don't end up turning into Mary.

Not to say we shouldn't kill her, she's absolutely dead to us and our family. I just don't want to go fanatical "hunt the bitch down" mode about it.

West Blue Seadogs Z
Chapter 3

"Sorry bro-"

Will is almost crying as he's being held at gunpoint from the shame. Whoever these guys are they clearly have no idea who they are messing with. Taking a good look at the girl Silver let her feel the full, unrestrained volume of his haki. The wave manages to almost blow her away, at which point she looks just about ready to pull the trigger.
"Ain! Wait."
Z spoke up.
"Let him go."

"But sensei-"

"Do it!"
Reluctantly the girl pushes William away so hard he lands on all fours.
"Now Binz! Give me a stone!"

"Mosa-Mosa!"
The pink ninja does his little dance and a great vine sprouts from their submarine which tosses a pinkish looking container to the man with the metal hand. Z grins as he starts gripping on the canister, which makes his two subordinates immediately retreat back to their vessel.

"Sorry pirate! I would've loved to have fun with you. But I'm a busy man. So instead I'll see you in Hell!"
As the glass shatters and the liquid inside escapes the sea stone hand of Z begins to whirr before firing the pink orb high in the air. Before any of the Silvers realized what's going on or before they could stop him Z also jumped in the submarine which quickly retreated beneath the waves. A second later the orb that he fired in the air begins reacting with the air violently as pink bursts of light appear in the clear sky just before the whole thing massively detonates.

Their ship was engulfed in an inferno, the likes of which they've never seen. The boards creaked, splintered and started breaking. Instead of burning the glass fiber sails started to melt and it was feared that the crew would be reduced to nothing but ash save for one or two lucky individuals. Thankfully the wave of fire also burnt the vines and plants that constricted them to a crisp, allowing Murray to break free of his bindings and dive underwater.

"Fish-man Jujutsu: Aokora!"

Twisting the very sea itself he wrapped the Dauntless in a shell of pure water that extinguished whatever flames besieged it and blocked the brunt of the blastwave. After fishing out the devil fruit users of the group and taking them to safety the crew could catch their breath and begin assessing the situation as well as immediate repairs.
"What in blazes was that?! That explosion could almost wipe out an entire island?!"
Murray gasped.

"Cough cough. That... was too much. Thanks for saving us Mister Murray."

"HNNNNNNNG! HOW DARE HE?! Look at what they did to you! My beautiful ship!"
Silver cried as he began caressing the main mast of the Dauntless.
"I'LL KILL HIM!"

But kill him he didn't. For the extensive damage had to be repaired if they wanted to move anywhere. And despite the prodigious hands of the seamstress Ann, the shipwright Greki and Hagetakas ability it took them quite some time before they could set sails. By that time the trail of Z has gone quite cold. They were sailing for hours in a vain effort to locate their newfound enemy. And only through sheer luck did they manage to find him.

"GUYS! You got to see this!"
Will jumped down from the crows nest to alert everyone to what he found.
"Look! Sails by the starboard bow! And they all have Z's jolly roger!"

Indeed they had. A small naval force was gathering around an unremarkable island. Though what they were up to was a mystery. It looked like they were simply just waiting for something. But they were Z's men, no questions about that. Though few and far between they had the same modified pacifistae that Z had in his retinue. And these "pirates" carried themselves in the same, orderly manner as his two goons. Though they didn't look the part it was obvious who or what they were.

"Marines... I hate marines."
Silver smashed his fists together with glee.
"Let's go mess 'em up!"

Not wasting any time the Silvers assaulted Z's forces. Only a skeleton crew remained on the ship with Murray at the helm and Marcella manning the cannons. Everyone else jumped on a vessel and went on a rampage. Once their chosen target felt like it was done for they jumped to a neighboring one. This went on until-
"What the-"

An ominous feeling washed over Silver who looked towards the island. His eyes widened as a familiar pink glint could be seen coming from the dry land, followed by a gargantuan explosion that most likely could be felt all across the world, if only a little. The skies blackened from the ash and dust that was blown in the air and the seas were illuminated by a towering pillar of molten lava that shot to the skies unceasing. A great flow of superheated ash, dust and rocks roiled over the sea followed closely by an encroaching layer of lava threatening to consume all that the wave did not destroy.

"EVERYONE! GET BACK TO THE SHIP!"
Silver ordered his men to retreat and they all hurried back to the Dauntless so they could take off and fly away. The ships wings carried them high up as it rode the currents of hot air. Looking down they watched as many of these strange marines simply stood there and embraced their impending doom with an eerie calmness.

"What the hell is happening?"
They all wondered to themselves.

If everything works out I may be able to run tomorrow

Surrounded by a profound darkness a certain numbness overtakes you. Due to the injuries you sustained as well as the lack of air your body has entered some sort of hibernation. Bloodflow, breathing and everything else necessary for maintaining life functions have slowed down to a crawl. In this state it can seldom heal on its own but it may buy you enough time until things calm down a bit. The first thing that manages to reach you in this state are the words of one worried rodent.

"N-Nyeh! Maybe acid to the skin-face will help!"

You are rudely awakened by the sensation of water splashing on your face. With a loud gasp and several coughs you manage to get back to your senses and already you feel blood gushing out of your throat. Quickly you apply pressure to your neck as with each beat of your heart blood spurts from the wounds on it. Thankfully the dials though damaging were weak enough to not cut too deep with those jets of compressed air. It still hurts like hell though. But not as much as your leg and chest do. Thankfully it seems like someone managed to plug that hole in your torso with what appears to be a handful of moss.

"Brother-friend! You alive-live! Dexter is not alone again!"

"Uuuugh."
You groan as you stand up.

"Friend-friend! You should sit-rest! You are hurt-hurt!"

"Where are they?"

"Myeh the cur-cowards ran-ran before me-me could show them a thing or two!"
The rat puffs his chest proudly.

"I see."

You reach for your ribs. They hurt something fierce. After rummaging around your pockets for a bit you pop in the condensed pill of Second Wind and feel your body swelling with energy, which it quickly puts to use. With a bit of force from you holding things in place and the help of the medicine you can feel your body slowly putting itself back together. But your chest still hurts. Taking a deep breath you shout so loud that it travels everywhere on the island.
"EVERYONE! FINISH IT! THAT'S AN ORDER!"

After a little bit of time (about as much as one would need to give their opponent a final monologue) explosions can be heard coming from all over the place. A few minutes later your friends start arriving one by one, wondering what the hell happened to you. Until the last one of them gets here you refuse to say a word to any of them.
"So care to explain what the hell happened to you?"

"It's Clown. She was a Cipher Pol agent. She wanted us to mess up the place so she could bust out one of her friends."

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

"I knew something was off with her but this? Cipher Pol?"
Murray scratches his head.

"WELL? What are we waiting for? Let's find that fucking clown and pull her guts out through her mouth like colorful ribbons!"
Marcella is raring to go and get violent.

"A-Absolutely not! Silver is heavily injured! He needs to rest!"
Lyda protests.

>I don't care. I just want a new musician

We rested first and then did that so us taking a breather and getting our head right is a must. Also we should see if Stiches can make an vaccine to that gas.

"Fool me once shame on me, try that again and I'll fuck you to death with your kidneys on a stick" and all that.

>>5330111
>>5330117
I think introducing Dexter is the furthest thing from Silver's mind right now.

>>5330119
Yeah he rested, but he said from the beggining that his recovery was just the calm before the storm. In this case, I think "I just want to rest" is more him being in shock than preparing to bring hell upon the earth again.

>>5330105
>I just want to rest...
While it would be fun to go full murderdethkill, I like the idea of Silver just not knowing how to deal with this more, seems like a lot more opportunity for growth and drama.

>>5330105
>Rest first then track

So what we gonna do about her name on our back? cover it up with another tattoo like shes a bad ex? be kinda edgy and stab it out with a knife to represent the betrayal? cross it out with an X?

>>5330138
I think for something that never happened to us before we should also do something that we have never done before
Quietly plan

>>5330138
it's just one letter, just leave it there, who's gonna know?

>>5330137
+1
I don't see silver just letting this slide really, like at best he'll want to hunt her down for an explaination and then kill her and at worse he just skips the formalities and kills her straight out

>>5330144
I mean i've always personally seen silvers tattoo being very important to him, so i don't think he'll let a traitors name sit there along with the rest of his loyal crew/family

>>5330138
Stitch can take care of it.

>>5330137
>>5330145
Im not opposed to this idea but I think that Silver would need to gather his thoughts and collect himself first before doing any tracking, the amount of time required for that I would leave up to Spooky.

>>5330149
He could just turn the C into a D, D for Dexter. It would be better aesthetically.
>>5330145
As seen with Mary, the way Silver deals with
familial emotional baggage is avoidance.
Also, what happened to freeing this island, are we just gonna leave everyone here to go after Pepe?

>>5330157
>As seen with Mary, the way Silver deals with

Only Mary considered Silver family, not the other way around. The reason he avoids her is because she reminds him of his time in the island not because she is "family".

>Also, what happened to freeing this island, are we just gonna leave everyone here to go after Pepe?
I'd think that it would be done by his crew while he's resting.

>>5330157
thing with mary is that wasn't really a betrayal, like with mary i think its a different situation entirely, like silver obviously doesn't count her as one of his "masters" since he would have atleast tried to kill her by now but shes still a reminder of a time in his life he very much wants to forget and move away from, but this is different, the clown used him and the rest of the crew and then bckstabbed us and left, i think silver is partially gonna be confused and want to know why, since from his perspective she had it pretty good, but don't see a future confrontation ending any other way than silver enraged and furious

>>5330163
>Only Mary considered Silver family, not the other way around
Is that it tho? do you think emotions are just that clear cut? abused people can hate their abusers and still be too forgiving of them
>I'd think that it would be done by his crew while he's resting.
By that time the trail willl be ice cold, I think we have to admit once again that we can't have it all

>>5330157
It's not really that, we were happy to speak to Marys' father when he popped over for a visit and begged us to kill him instead.

Silver is afraid of what he used to be, utterly terrified of it and going back to that state of being. Mary was with him every step of the way there and so is the living, breathing, reminder of what used to be. But he understands it, just as he understood Borsalino almost killing him and burning the dragons.

This tho... I don't think he understands what just happened. I don't think being betrayed by a crewmember was even a possibility.
This is from a guy who hears voices constantly and accepts a talking giant rat, or the entirety of Tot Land, as perfectly normal.
I think this simply blindsided him utterly and absolutely.

>>5330172
>Is that it tho? do you think emotions are just that clear cut? abused people can hate their abusers and still be too forgiving of them
Yes, it absolutely is. Do you not remember this speech he made to her?

“When you played with me, I got beat up. When I resisted, I got beat up. Do you really think I enjoyed that? Shut up, do nothing, ignore the pain that comes later. After a while I didn’t even realize you took me away, time just passed. I had a family once and I lost it. But I don’t even remember that anymore. I only got a new family after I set to sea. After I broke my chains. And you want to drag me back and collar me. I’d be more comfortable in the gallows!”

“How could you say that to me?! I WAS THE ONLY ONE NICE TO YOU! And you were the only friend I ever had! Does that mean nothing to you?!”

“Not really. You were not nice. You were ambivalent. The only one that was nice to me was the pirate that taught me how to break free. I got more from her in a few days than from you in years. All I feel from you is fear. Because my back hurts every time I look at you.”

>By that time the trail willl be ice cold, I think we have to admit once again that we can't have it all
That doesn't matter. The point is that when someone fucks with Silver, he WILL go after them no matter what. And that applies to this situation even more so.

>>5330172
thing is, while silver probably like to give a slight helping hand to the slaves with the master dead like he did the mariejois slaves, he's also been shown to be fully alright leaving them to their own devices once freed, like with ivankov, didn't exactly go and give those guys a quick check-up after we scared ivankov off, and while you could argue thats because they were dicks i think its also just a sign of silver thinking it his self imposed duty to free them, after they're free they're just the same as any other rando on an island except slightly more sympathetic, and silvers certainly not heroic enough to help ppl like that at the cost of his own desires

>>5330177
That was AFTER we ran away from her TWICE. WE had to pretty much request Spooky to have that scene, or else it just would have been left at her not knowing shit and that wouldn't be resolved until maybe Marineford, if we had gone there.
Everyone always says "Silver would ALWAYS do this." and conveniently left out the times when, no, he did not do that.

>>5330105
>>Other?
>rest and track
Or at least head to the nearest government holding so we start paying the WG back. One death for every second Clown pretended to be family.

>>5330182
Don't think they have that many marines dude.

>>5330181
> That was AFTER we ran away from her TWICE. WE had to pretty much request Spooky to have that scene, or else it just would have been left at her not knowing shit and that wouldn't be resolved until maybe Marineford, if we had gone there.
How does that support your argument and refute mine? He had run away from her before that yes but his reason for doing so was still somewhat up for debate. This speech made that reason clear, that's all. Your argument was that Silver considered Mary family and that is not supported by any evidence.

>Everyone always says "Silver would ALWAYS do this." and conveniently left out the times when, no, he did not do that.
What are you even referring to?

>>5330184
Lydia gets to practice her reanimation techniques then.

Well. I did not expect resting to win. But it did
>writing

>>5330188
More like rest and track than just rest. Just like Mary Geoise, you get to decide how long that rest will be Spooky.

>>5330185
Read into shit, my argument is that Silver has a tendency to avoid uncomfortable subjects and that while Silver might SAY something he doesn't necessarily mean it fully, people can say shit and not back up those words.
Go back to that thread. After the scene Silver thinks to himself that there might still be some chance for reconciliation. Why would he want that if he doesn't care about Mary?
>What are you even referring to?
It's a general statement. Silver is very flanderized by the players. He's not completely unhinged, his first reaction to things isn't always murder. After his crushing defeat to Borsalino he avoided the subject until Hook just forced it out of him.
>>5330178
I see this more like Bones island, Silver had a main goal then and he changed his priorities when children were involved.

>>5330196
>Read into shit, my argument is that Silver has a tendency to avoid uncomfortable subjects
True

>and that while Silver might SAY something he doesn't necessarily mean it fully, people can say shit and not back up those words.
Not true, Silver never says something he doesn't mean to. It doesn't mean he says everything he thinks but he never lies or speaks a half truth.

>Go back to that thread. After the scene Silver thinks to himself that there might still be some chance for reconciliation. Why would he want that if he doesn't care about Mary?
I NEVER said that he doesn't care about Mary, what I said is he doesn't consider her family. If that's what you had meant then you should have said so.

>Silver is very flanderized by the players.
I tend to agree, I've made multiple posts about it too.

>>5330196
>Silver is very flanderized by the players
And yet the shocked/depressed option won.

>>5330205
>Not true, Silver never says something he doesn't mean to. It doesn't mean he says everything he thinks but he never lies or speaks a half truth.
There you go, just like clockwork.
>I NEVER said that he doesn't care about Mary, what I said is he doesn't consider her family. If that's what you had meant then you should have said so.
Alright, here's some elaboration. What I mean is that while Silver might think or say Mary isn't her family, on some level he treats her as if she was. Think just how strong Silver's sense of obligation for his family is and how he compulsively just drags people along with him, for him that's just what "Silver" is. And for the longest time Mary was the closest thing he had resembling "family" so while he might not think of her as family normally, deep inside he feels a need the give her a bit leeway, because that's just how he feels he should be.
>>5330206
Are those mutually exclusive things somehow?

"I just- I don't care. I wanna rest..."
You say halfheartedly, feeling tired as all hell.
"Stitches. Can you do something about this hole here?"

"I... Of course."
She kneels down beside you and she takes out her medical tools from her little bag. Without as much as a word she begins tending to the five puncture wounds in your chest, as well as the broken bones beneath the skin.
"There. Done. I used silver to bind the bones together. That should help keep them in place as they heal. But make sure you pay attention to it so it doesn't break again."

"Thanks Stitches. I will. Now can I ask for some painkillers? My chest is killing me."

Everyone present except Nutmeg and Dexter snap their head around to turn and look at you. Lyda especially is shocked at your statement.
"I-I'm sorry. I don't have any..."

"Ah. I see."
You get up and walk away from the group kicking a pebble around with your hands tucked under your belt.

"Alright. Two questions. One, what the fuck is that rat? And two, don't you think it's a bit irresponsible for a doctor not to have any anesthetic on her?"

"Me-me Dexter! Me-me new crew!"

Dexter gets ignored by pretty much everyone as they pay close attention to the doctor.
"I do have both anesthetics and analgesic drugs on me. I could also transfer Silvers pain with my ability under normal circumstances. But Silver never asks for any painkillers. There is no amount of pain he can't bear. Except for one type."

"O-Oh."
Nutmeg looks down a bit.
"Alright. I'm gonna go talk to him."

"With all due respect miss. You shouldn't do that."
Murray grabs her by the shoulder.
"Trust us on this. He's volatile now and needs to get his head straight himself-"

But Nutmeg swats his hand away.
"Screw you! I swore I'd stand by that doofus and I meant what I said! And if any one of you wants to stop me then try it!"
She storms past all of them until she gets close enough to you at which point she slows down.
"Hey."

"Hi."

"You look like shit. And that's saying something, considering I've seen you chew through a nail. What's wrong?"

"Nothing. I just want to rest a bit. Then we'll get back on the ship and I'll sort all this out. I'm the captain."

"Yeah. A captain. A captain with a crew."
She speaks as she slowly approaches you.
"One of which just betrayed you. And it looks like it hurt you more than those shots they took at your heart. I know it feels shitty but... did she really mean so much to you?"

You try to keep a straight face as you glance at Nutmeg from the corner of your eyes but you start tearing up and at that point can no longer keep it together.
"How could she do this to me?"
Your voice cracks.
"She was my family!"

>>5330206
I wouldn't say he's flanderized more like he discovered/developed his personality. You need to remember his that he was a in a fluid state after escaping the island. Silver was a blank canvas.

>>5330223
>You try to keep a straight face as you glance at Nutmeg from the corner of your eyes

damn silver was so sad he regrew his eye :V

>>5330231
I swear I'll always forget writing that as singular

>>5330231
>>5330233
Nono, clearly Big Mom replaced our eyepatch with a homie to spy on us and now its crying too.

That said this got heavy, nice Spooks.

>>5330220
No, but it does mean that there are usually more people willing to vote for Silver the person rather then Silver the meme

>>5330220
>There you go, just like clockwork.
Sass is not an argument. I didn't base that assertion on nothing, please show me a time where Silver lied or was otherwise deceitful.

>Alright, here's some elaboration. What I mean is that while Silver might think or say Mary isn't her family, on some level he treats her as if she was.
No he doesn't. Where in his interactions with her does it look like that?

>And for the longest time Mary was the closest thing he had resembling "family"
No she wasn't. The first person to resemble family to Silver was Eliza for obvious reasons. Mary's attachment to Silver didn't and doesn't resemble a familial relationship but a pet/owner one again, for obvious reasons.

I don't remember him giving her any leeway but I'll grant that to you for the sake of argument. Her being a child and not knowing any better is a much more plausible reason for leeway than any of this "Such a deep and complex relationship" thing you're peddling.

In conclusion, I agree that Silver is often flanderized but I also think that you're doing the extreme opposite of that which is over complicating Silver's character and obfuscating his relationships and way of thinking. We will probably have to agree to disagree not only because we're starting to clutter up the thread but because your first response to rebuttal
is impertinence which isn't conducive to good discussion in the first place.

>>5330239
Anon, you aren't speaking in good faith, that's why I was done arguing there. There's plenty of examples, if you don't see them then you don't wanna see.
Also you should have waited for the update to be done but too late for that.
