Rainbase is pretty damn big. Also: full of sand. And hot. Considering you and Smoboss had to ride in a (fairly nice) coach to get here from the docked ship, the heat punches you in the face as soon as you exit.

“Let’s get a cold drink, first,” you suggest.

“Shut up, brat,” Smoboss growls, a coil of smoke grabbing you by the shoulders and yanking you along. “The sooner we talk to that pirate trash, the sooner we can leave.”

“Is he still technically a pirate?” You let yourself be dragged through the city anyway, off to Rain Dinners (dumb name), which is Sir Crocodile’s own casino/restaurant/fancy-rich-person-place.

The guard dude at the door is happy to direct you and a fuming Smoboss in - apparently Bogart called ahead - and directs you both to the VIP room. With free drinks offered! Score!

He has that dumb gay male stripper "shirt" with that stupid backside. Any appeal he might have plummets beyond the negatives.

>water is not a beverage

“Just let me do all the talking,” Smoboss says, as you enter the VIP room. As expected - it’s ostentatious. Not quite tasteful, not quite tacky. Your eyes flick across all the gold... actually, yeah, kinda tacky.

You nod anyway, keeping quiet already, and settle down on the (soft!) couch to drink your water. Smoboss stands, having turned down a drink. Being a Smoke logia, you suspect he probably has less need of hydration than most. Or maybe he just thought he’d end up throwing it in the Shichibukai’s face?

... Nah, he’d just punch him.

Apparently it’ll take a few minutes before Sir Crocodile arrives.

>taking pictures like a Chinese tourist

(Also, because I've been going through the character sheet: +1 Jitte due to background train by with Smoboss. +1 General Fitness.)

In an attempt not to fidget like a raging work, you end up pulling your new camera out and going through it again. Smoboss' eyes turn to watch you for a few seconds as you take a few pictures and check he results, but then goes back to checking the rest of the room.

What he probably doesn't know is that you're also using Observation.

You can't pinpoint any specific guards around- the whole casino is a giant haze of high emotions, excitement and despair, interest and boredom, all mingling together. Too many people packed into one place within your range.

Smoboss is easier to pinpoint, because he's close, you're alone with him, and you're used to him. He feels... on edge. Frustrated. Annoyed.

... Pretty normal.

And... you feel SOMEONE approaching. You can even pick it out, like... even though their emotions aren't that strong (casual interest, amusement, anticipation), they're somehow still noticeable. Crocodile?

And... down below, on some floor beneath you, there are oddly simple emotions. Boredom. Hunger. A strange, sharp alertness.

Rain Dinners is weird.

You open your mouth to tell Smoboss about your findings, when a door pushes open, and the interest-amusement-anticipation dude walks in.

Yup. Sir Crocodile, looking confident, smug, and tall. Why is everyone so tall, dammit?!

... Smoboss' emotions turn to disgust; and Sir Crocodile sweeps a laconic smile over the two of you.

"Captain Smoker! And...?"

Poisoning a Marine Officer sounds like a big crime, but maybe not enough of one to arrest him. It should be enough of one to get Smoker pissed and that might be enough reason for Croc to be put down.

>the water is a lie

You need to be polite. And unsuspicious. "Ensign Flashman, Photog-"

You pause.

Frown.

The edges of your vision... blur a little. Wavering.

Heavy dread thunks into your stomach, as you lift your half-empty glass to stare at it. Then at Crocodile, who watches you with a smug-ass smirk and hooded eyes.

Against your will, you feel your grip loosen slightly on the glass, and Smoboss... suddenly feels like FURY PANIC RAGE.

"What the fuck did you do?!"

You blink, and your vision is blurred not by whatever you drank, but by a thick cloud of smoke wreathing you, Smoboss just about visible, jitte drawn.

You dropped the glass at some point, too.

Aw, fuck.

This ain't good.

(Physical rolls reduced by about 30%!)

"Really, Captain? Do you truly think I'm ill-informed enough not to know what you Government dogs plan?" Wow. What a dick. On the bright side, no-one's paying attention to you.

>sneaky sneaky

You still your movements, letting yourself slowly slump a little, eyes closing until you're just looking through cracks.

You feel... kind of numb. A bit dizzy. Sound and light seem lesser, somehow, with occasional distortions. And you could really do with a nap.

But fuck all of that.

It turns out that Sir Crocodile is a goddamn monologuer.

"My Unluckys already found out Igaram's aboard your ship," Crocasshole brags like the raging dickweasel he is (and what's an Unlucky, anyway?). "He has a big mouth to go with such a small brain."

You can't see Smoboss' face, but you can feel him seethe. "Then you know that you're under arrest for more than just poisoning my Ensign."

SMUG SMUG SMUG drives through the air. "You should have had a drink as well, mutt. It'll end up the same way, but at least it wouldn't hurt so badly for you."

Through the whirling smoke and your nearly-closed eyelids, you can faintly see Smoboss' hands tighten on his jitte. "So you're not going to surrender."

"Surrender? But it's the Strawhats who killed you, Captain. That's what the Vice-Admiral will hear."

There's a reason I gave you guys that recording function in time for Alabasta, and you figured it out... not as early as you could have. Oh well, good enough!

>video killed the shichibukai star or something

No-one sees your hand carefully reaching for your new camera, through the smoke and their own focus. No-one sees your fingers tap-tapping through to the video option, or gently pushing it off your lap and onto the couch, camera angled at Sir Cock-adile.

Who continues to shoot his mouth off. Like, seriously. As useful as that is for you, what's with all the drama? Why don't people just try to kill their enemies? Are they stupid?

"He'll never believe the Strawhats could do that," Smoboss snaps, disgust rising in your senses. "How stupid do you thi- okay, he's an idiot, but he's not THAT dumb."

You kind of want to puke. Is that the stuff you were given, or just the mention of Garp?

"Agree to disagree." Ugh. He's just a walking pile of smirk and hair gel. "With you and your Ensign dead, and a little evidence pointing towards the Strawhats, I think they'll be rather more bumped up in Garp's priorities. Baroque Works will finish everything without Marine interference - especially yours, Captain."

And then he erupts into a goddamn sandstorm, followed by Smoboss becoming a flurry of pure white.

I don't think it's enough at all, the line by itself is somewhat incriminating but it's really the fact that Crocodile attacks us that makes it good. As long as we got the start of the battle, then it should be enough proof that Crocodile tried to kill us and frame the Strawhats. Not that the WG's gonna do jack shit with it anyway.

>>Sneak the camera away in case the asshole notices it or it gets damaged. You've recorded enough.

>camera: SAFIFIED

Yeeeep, that's at least enough to prove Sir Crock-of-dicks is up to shady business and attacked first. You flick the camera off, and manage to shove it away on your jacket while he and Smoboss are busy having a completely useless battle around the room.

Seriously. Smoboss has a seastone-tipped jitte - and you remember with frustration that your seastone cuffs are still around Roronoa's wrists, he's fucked you over AGAIN - but against another Logia? Crocodile simply swirls around the weapon any time it looks close to touching him.

The sand, though... there seems to be more of it than the smoke. And it moves faster. And - there's a bunch of it coming right at you.

>>3434266
QM is specifically talking about throwing up directly at Crocodile. It makes sense to throw up to try and get rid of the drug. Doesn't make sense to aim at Crocodile. How exactly would connecting sand to water relate in connecting sand to vomit?

On one hand it's pretty cool being able to turn into ACID.
On the other I kinda like fruitless protag.

Ironic that the guy fixated with weapons could get the fruit to melt things

You feel slow. Unbalanced. Unsteady.

You also want to stick your fingers down your throat so you can purge yourself of whatever drug hasn't hit your bloodstream yet, but fortunately, you don't need to take the time to do that.

... Because as the mass of sand explodes towards you, you feel your stomach give a sudden twist-lurch of panic, and that's all it takes.

You sway and half-topplr - the sand rushes for your face, your neck -

And you puke over Sir Crocodile, Shichibukai.

It's mostly water, considering you'd just been drinking, but the stomach acid still burns in your throat and mouth as you dry-heave, collapsed against the couch.

Oh, and Crocodile recoiled from the spray of watery-vomit, human body forming as you sense SURPRISE DISGUST HORROR -

Unfortunately, it also sends Crocodile flying across the room, turning to sand again, but there's already smoke-arms-smoke grabbing-coiling around you, yanking you up, and then -

You vaguely realize Smoboss is rushing towards the door with you, before your consciousness finally gives up.

>>3434473
>As for missing the high success, sadly Smoboss only wounded/delayed him, and didn't get to arrest or kill him. Oh well!)
I'm ok with this, it'd feel cheap if we cheesed him in our first fight.

>>3434473
>missed turning into Punished Flashman

Smoker is fucking EARNING that Commodore promotion.
I wonder if we will also get a promotion.

>>3434473

Damn, no Eyepatch of Power.
Would that have been enough to make Klaus stop calling Flashy 'prettyboy'?

>>3434491
We better, our evidence is what'll be pivotal in charging a traitorous Shichibukai. That's gotta be a career maker right there, especially in a noncombat department.

Is this how many days we're out or something?

>>3434486
There is no greater moment of weakness than when you've just been vomited on.

>3 hours of unconsciousness

... Guh.

You wake up to the White Mist's medbay, and thus the delightful smell of antiseptic.

Well. Better than the smell of puke, you guess. The inside of your mouth tastes better - did the doc flush it with water or somehing? You doubt any of the drug remained in your mouth, but still.

You can see things properly. Hear properly. Don't feel weird, or off-balance, or like you need to vomit again.

Yeah. You think you... might be okay?

(Drugs effects removed! Physical rolls back to normal!)

You manage to force yourself to sit up, easily catching the attention of the ship's surgeon, who rushes over to check a host of bodily measurements, and fill you in on what you've missed.

Which... turns out to be quite a bit.

After Smoboss escaped with you, Crocodile called Garp to report he'd been brutally attacked by Smoker, which would have caused a shit-ton of official problems if Smoboss hadn't taken a gamble on you messing with your camera beforehand, and wanted them to check your camera.

So. You apparently prevented Smoboss getting investigated. That's nice. Especially because that and his description of events was enough to cause the Marines to gear up, kick a hornet nest, and BRUTALLY STOMP IT INTO THE GROUND.

Not an hour after you'd arrived back here, reports of the Strawhats came in. Not in Rainbase at all, but making contact with the local rebellion (as expected of Revolutionaries).

That was about the same time that the Marines headed out, loaded for Crocodile, because that was how long it took for Garp to get a call back from HQ regarding the official rescinding of Crocodile's Shichibukai title.

And now, three hours after you got back here, the fighting is still ongoing. From what chaotic reports are surfacing, most of the rebellion is now firmly on the King's side and aware that Croocdile is Baroque Works' boss (What? Well, that's suddenly less surprising...), the Strawhats have taken down at least a few of the Agents and are running around looking for the rest, Firefist Ace has vanished completely, and no-one's entirely sure where Crocodile had gone, but if he has any brains, it's 'as far away from Garp as possible'.

... Although from how the doc comments on Smoboss' mood, you'd take your chances with Garp rather than him.

Oh. And you're forbidden from leaving the ship.

>What do???

>>3434493
You'll have to lose an eye to find out! (He'd have given you a pretty pink eyepatch with a flower embroidered on it, if you didn't seem too distraught.)


And what a surprise, Pinky and Chin hearing the Strawhats planning to go to Rainbase was totally wrong! No doubt the Strawhats detected them and fed them false information. They definitely wouldn't use some kind of friend in the Marines to misdirect you away from them and towards Crocodile, no way.

I just realized there's a chance we could recruit Nico Robin. I don't think the government even knows she exists so it's possible. Though that would depend on how things play out. It's not likely but there's a small chance so that's neat.

>>3434571
Man everything's going surprisingly well for everyone, AND HELL YEAH RECORDING SAVED SMOBOSSES ASS HE OWES US ONE
>>Leave the ship duh

>>3434571

I'm sure we'll be perfectly fine

>>3434571
>>Leave the SHip and chase after Crocodile!
>>Take a broom with you and name it 'the ship'.

>>3434571
>Stay on the ship
The Strawhats are going to be coming for Zoro at SOME point, and when they do, we'll be waiting for them.

>>3434571
>>What do???
Get our weapons and our camera, THEN leave the ship. We've got strawhats to photograph.

>>3434571
>snoop around the ship, see if there's anyone to talk to.
Come on guys we could get a promotion here.

>>3434571
>remain on the ship

Zoro bonding time.

>>3434571
Rendevous with Mina and Yu, also find out where Tashigi and Klaus are

I assume the former two are on the ship, and of the latter two Big Sis will definitely be out fighting, the latter might be?

>>3434571
>Stay on the ship
Need to meet back up with our crew, or at least whoever's left on the ship. We could get some more answers to questions like: what the hell's the situation between us and the Strawhats now? They met up with the rebels and now the rebels are with the King, they're kicking Baroque Works' ass, are we on very shaky temporary alliance standing now?

>>3434571
>Stay on the ship
>Find out where all your companions are
They're probably worried about us

Calling for stay on the shiiiiiiip.

In this universe, Smoker actually represents an actual threat to be taken seriously. Managing a draw/retreat with the arc villain is serious business.
Also the vomit thing is actually a perfect foreshadow.
Shame that Crocs plans have been destroyed wholly by marine swarm otherwise this would've been a better canon setup for the Story than actual canon.

>>3434637
Confirmed: qm has more story-sense than Oda.
not that it is a particularly difficult achievment

>no place like home

A few (or more) questions gain you more information.

Tashigi, Fop, Igaram and Klaus are out fighting as well (Klaus kind of surprises you, but oh well - maybe Garp threatened him?), Mina and Yu are also restricted to staying on board, and the doc has no idea who you mean by Sunglasses and Hat.

As for the Strawhats... it's hardly an alliance, but seeing as they're currently some kind of allies with the ex-rebellion and the Royal troops, all of which are now in the fight against Baroque Works... they've been carefully placed far down the list of priorities.

You get the general idea that the Marines have decided to politely and unofficially ignore their existence until Baroque Works is dealt with.

... Man, the world is weird.

On the bright side, it seems that you were drugged rather than poisoned - probably in case you were more useful as a hostage than a corpse - and it's now gone from your system, with no lasting harm.

All in all... not a bad show for puking on a Shichibukai.

Heh.

Shichi-puke-ai.

You grab your weapons - no camera, probably taken for the evidence - and head out.

Sooner or later, the Strawhats are gonna come for their swordsman. You're not sure WHY they want a dick like him, but they're also dicks, so maybe dicks stick together. Like a dick bouquet.

... You're not entirely sure you've recovered.

Regardless!

The ship seems almost desolate, manned by a skeleton crew to guard it, but you're pleasantly surprised to find the brig guarded by Sunglasses and Hat. You're secretly kind of relieved to know they're not out there, running into the creepy sand asshole.

"Aniki! You're okay!" The pair of them look delighted, especially when you deign to give them both high-fives.

"Prisoner behaving himself?" You kind of hope he needed a punch in the face at some point.

"Uh - Yeah, he... He's been pretty quiet," Hat says, sounding a little nervous. You're not surprised, Roronoa's a pretty intimidating guy for someone like him to guard. "Are you sure you're feeling okay, aniki? Maybe you should go rest for a while longer?"

"Nah, I'm good! Gonna have a word with him, see if he knows anything useful. Anyone else been in to see him?"

"No," says Hat, while Sunglasses says, "Yeah."

They look at each other.

"Uh. I guess Coby went in a little while ago? Just to give him food, though. Nothing else."

"... Who's Coby?"

"........ Pinky, aniki..."

Huh. How about that. You're not sure how he got the nickname 'Coby', though. What does it even mean?

Well, whatever. You give them a nod and head in to talk to Total Backstabber Roronoa Zoro.

The cells are empty but for him, everyone transferred off back at Renaisse. Zoro himself is still in your seastone cuffs, but apparently that isn't stopping him from doing some weird push-ups on his damn back.

The fuck.

You amble over to stand in front of Roronoa's cell while he ignores you.

"So why did you guys kidnap a princess anyway? I thought Revolutionaries were more the sort to uh, kill royalty."

Roronoa snorts. Still working out. "Dunno where you guys got the idea we're Revolutionaries. Besides, she's better as a hostage."

"Hm, maybe it was Dragon showing up and saving your asses that gave that impression? Just a thought." You lean against the railings, carefully. Ready to dodge if he lunges for you. "You guys are helping the king now. What's up with that?"

He half-shrugs. "Can't pay a ransom if he's not the king any more, can he?" Roronoa pushes himself up to his feet, looking at you with that typical smirk. "What's the matter? Jealous no-one's kidnapped YOU for a royal ransom?"

>???

As fun as it was last thread I really recommend stopping now. It's just taking up space unnecessarily

>how dare u

"Don't know about a ransom, but they tried for a hostage," you say, totally not bitter about it. "Did you know about Crocodile?"

Roronoa arches an eyebrow, STILL with that infuriating smirk. "What about him?"

"That he was leader of Baroque Works! And trying to take over the country!"

"Oh, was he?" The pirate yawns, over-dramatic and fake. "Sounds normal, for a Government employee."

You feel your mouth twist into a scowl. "As if a pirate would know anything about - about anything other than their own selfish interests."

"Not true. I also care about my swords."

"What, you can't cut swords? But that's so basic!" It is, technically. Sort of. According to Klaus.

Roronoa just looks bored. "Yeah? If it's so basic, it doesn't matter if you tell me how it's done right? What with me being locked up and all, anyway."

"He's, it's almost like you're planning to escape."

"So? You won't let me, will you?"
