>the interrogation begins

“So Pajaya,” you politely begin, making your way to the front of the parade of CRIMINAL SCUM, “Skypiea sounds pretty self-sufficient. Do you guys have a lot of industry here?”

While it’s not as detailed as Curly’s lecture on Alabasta, the man happily gives a rundown on how different clouds are used to make different things - and how earth, or vearth as they call it, is beloved for its ability to grow trees and crops. That’s.... fascinating, although frankly, you were more interested in potential sky candy, something Chopper is only too happy to hear about as well.

Yes. They have candy. It’s made from the sugar in fruits, and not in huge amounts - candy here is an uncommon treat, and fairly expensive, but you’re sure you can find a way to buy some, somehow. Maybe someone wants some sword lessons?

“We’ll figure out a way,” you tell the child, giving him a determined thumbs up. He nods at you in agreement, face stubborn (and cute).

The next thing you find out, as you hammer Pajaya with questions, is about the shells, which drags everyone’s attentions in. A thorough explanation of most of the dials ensues, and it turns out the pretty shell you picked up on the beach was a Breath Dial. It’s only palm sized, not big enough to power the waver or similar, but you’ll probably find a use for it.

... Or sell it for candy. That’s a use, right?

In any case, as soon as you reach their home, various dials are displayed, which you eye in interest. Lamp Dials would save a lot of trouble on ships, without having to worry about fire or electricity, let alone Heat Dials for cooking. Maybe you should try to bring a few back with you?

In any case, your main priorities are to

>Get back down to the Blue Seas
>Get Chopper away from the pirates
>Find out how the Strawhats are connected to the Revolutionaries
>Get some useful Dials to take back
>Kill at least one or two of the Strawhats while you’re here (any in particular?)
>Figure out what the hell is up with that Sogeking dude
>Other?

Especially that last one.

So, when are we going to toy with using a breath dial to give our boy Harry a boost to the meteor hammer?

I can't believe Crocodile, Kidd, Ace, Coby, Helmeppo, Bogard and Garp are dead.

So priorities are

>Get cool dials
>Get back down to Blue Seas safely
>(Plus photos. And candy. Lots of candy.)

So you’re considering gathering intel or taking on the Strawhats as not worth the current risk, and I’m guessing you think grabbing Chopper isn’t worth the risk either.

If its true I can't believe we got Ace killed earlier than canon.

Pretty much yeah. Now that robin has our number its going to suicide to try anything

>>3477724
Anons wanted us to be Garp Junior and carry like a canonball on a string to use when we're off ship and away from the cannonball supply, which is why we got a seperate weapon vote.

>>3477725
I will ceaselessly call Bullshit if Blackbeard beat Garp and Ace at the same time.
Garp is like one of the only people who could actually take Whitebeard on.
Blackbeard got assblasted by a mortally wounded Whitebeard.

Steal from the Strawhats, duh.

>>3477724
... Why would throwing cannonballs have anything to do with using a bastardised meteor-hammer type weapon?

You collapse into a chair, to take a moment to figure things out, while the Strawhats seem to be... overly enthusiastic. You’re not sure what their cook feeds them (and he’s currently investigating the contents of the kitchen), but it certainly seems to be working for their energy levels. The Witch Thief is still riding the waver outside, while everyone else admires the household Dials, or talks among themselves.

Sogeking seems to be quite happy to place himself as part of the conversation, but you can’t help but be aware you’re... not exactly stand-offish, but clearly an outsider. Not that getting too involved is good, of course - you don’t want to slip up and say something suspicious or odd - but you should probably try to get yourself involved. Even if you’d rather just collect a load of these useful Dials and get back on the ground.

Rescuing Chopper... will probably have to go on the backburner, unfortunately. With Nico Robin onto you, it’s too much risk. Even arresting the Strawhats is unlikely, with her on guard and likely looking to win their trust.

>magical princess pirate-chwan

You cast your attention over to Princess Vivi, the one who may not have caused this whole mess, but certainly helped it along. If she hadn’t taken up with the Strawhats... well, you don’t know what would have happened to Alabasta, but she, Kohza and Carue wouldn’t have decided piracy was a great idea, and maybe Nico Robin wouldn’t have joined either.

Like, seriously... what the crap is Nico doing here. Hmm?

“You’re Princess Vivi, right?” You make sure to keep it casual, innocent-sounding. Definitely not like you want to arrest her, no sirree!

“Ah, yes,” she sounds a little embarrassed by the fact. “But right now, I’m not a prin-“

“She’s a prisoner,” Kohza butts in, arms folded where he lounges on another chair.

“Kohza!”

He stares at her pointedly, an impressive act considering his sunglasses. She slumps back, looking annoyed. “Yes, that’s right. The Strawhats are holding me prisoner.” .... That’s a blatant lie. That’s definitely a blatant lie.

“Ooookaaaaay,” you respond, mildly confused. Do they really think anyone’ll fall for that?

The princess smiles at you apologetically. “It’s complicated.”

“No it isn’t. You’re a hostage.”

“KOHZA!” She reaches over to smack his arm in a decidedly non-hostage manner. “I doubt Arthur’s going to report anything to the Marines!”

Hahahahahahaha yes of course not hahahahaha. You try to look innocent as Kohza tilts his glasses down to glare at you properly. “I’m sure he has nothing interesting to tell them.”

>Really feeling the trust here...

You take the opportunity to flip your Observation on, finding yourself afloat in a goopy ocean of emotions. You’re getting a little better at picking them out though, despite the relatively close proximity of the Strawhats, especially when you minimize your range to just the room.

Interestingly, there seems to be a dark thread of guilt-shame-sadness in the air - quite a bit of it, at that. Still, not your business or problem to work out who it belongs to; you focus on picking out Vivi’s emotions instead.

“What was up with Alabasta, anyway? I dunno how much of the news was just bull.”

Vivi and Kohza look at each other in a way that communicates beyond words. They both feel... like the Spring after a long Winter.

“Also complicated,” she admits. “Most of what the news reported was right, amazingly... Sir Crocodile was leading an organization called Baroque Works to try and overthrow my father. The combined forces of the local rebellion, Strawhats and Marines dealt with it, and... Luffy and Firefist Ace disposed of Sir Crocodile himself.”

“Can’t say I’ve ever heard of a pirate crew teaming up with Marines, before,” you say lightly.

“Well - it’s not like they were actively working together...”

“The Marines worked separately, though I guess they helped,” Kohza clarifies, sounding disgruntled to admit it. Dick. That’s what Marines are there for! Maybe you dumbasses should have asked for help in the first place?! Shitheads!

“I see...” you lie. “And Strawhat Luffy helped with Crocodile, huh? I read that was all Firefist.”

“Yes, Luffy took him on first.” Vivi brightens, obviously eager to sing her savior’s praises. “Unfortunately, he wasn’t quite strong enough the first time, though he succeeded in delaying him somewhat... but during their rematch, he injured him. Although considering how easily Firefist killed Crocodile once he appeared, I guess it makes sense the Government would attribute the entire fight to their new Shichibukai.”

“Not like they could admit any pirate helped,” Kohza adds, which is true. “But most of the Strawhats were involved in taking down Crocodile’s men - except for Roronoa, obviously.”

>They did a lot for your country, huh?
>Roronoa... wasn’t he arrested?
>So the Marines didn’t do much?
>Other?

“They did a lot for your country, huh?”

Vivi nods, gratefulness-relief-joy bubbling happily from her emotions. “Of course, the rebellion, the Marines and Firefist all did their part... but the Strawhats did a great deal to end Crocodile’s threat faster and more safely than it could have been.”

“Even though she’s a prisoner,” Kohza mentions.

“... Even though I’m a prisoner, yes.”

“So what about you, Arthur?” Kohza leans forward, and you feel his attention sharpen and fix on you, alert. “U- Sogeking said your ship and crew were dealt with by Vice-Admiral Garp, right?”

You let your eyes glaze over, as you sink into the horrible, terrible past of That Day, trapped in the classroom as... no...

“Cannonballs,” you whisper, seeing them smash through the walls around you, hear the screams of your classmates, the crunch of bones. “Cannonballs... everywhere...”

“...... Are you okay?”

“Whu-?” You blink back to reality. “Yes! Yes, I’m fine! Just... remembering.” You shudder, unable to prevent it. “Actually, a couple of my crew survived, but pretty much, yeah. I already got in contact and let them know I was up in Skypiea.”

“Y-you have a crew?” Vivi looks and feel horrified and guilty, Kohza surprised. “Sogeking said that Usopp told him your crew was - well, I suppose you were drunk at the time - I’m very sorry!”

“I’m sure he wouldn’t have brought you here if Usopp had realized you still had some crew,” Kohza says, sighing. “Sorry, Arthur. You should probably mention that to Sogeking and Luffy.”

“It’s fine. Not exactly expected, but I guess he misunderstood,” you admit. “It was kind of Usopp to try and look out for me, anyway...even if it WAS by handing me over to Sogeking and the Strawhats.”

“He certainly has good intentions,” Kohza muses, his blank face hiding the amusement you feel from him.

“Yeah... I hope he and his crew are doing okay. He said they wanted to come up here, so I guess they’re missing out.”

“..... I’m sure they’re fine.” Man, Kohza feels REALLY amused. That’s kind of insulting, though you’re not sure if he’s feeling it about you or poor Usopp. Even Vivi feels like she wants to bust out laughing. Rude.

THE WORST TIMELINE CONFIRMED ACTUALLY BEST TIMELINE

Apart from that bit where his identity is inevitably revealed and no matter how good a soldier he is he'd get super fucking executed

>>3477986
Garp was right all along. Let us welcome Fireplace Ace, God King of Jobbing.

>>3477993
Nah, Garp would legitimately go berserk if they tried that shit.
Ace could then join the revolutionaries or something.

>>3477993
I dunno, Sengoku would have a lot of incentive to prevent the Gorusei finding out if he were a Marine. Alternately, make it public and use it as propaganda that they even have the Pirate King's son loyal to them.

>>3477997
Plus this.

>>3477993
It's one thing if he's a pirate, if he'd joined the marines and done nothing else wrong except 'being born' you'd think more than just Garp would throw a fit

>>3478040
>>3478032
>>3477997
Oh I don't deny there'd be a fit, there's a whole interesting story there about a marine civil war basically.

But If the higher ups were willing to kill thousands of babies to get the son of Rodger, whats the life of one soldier?

>>3478044
The fact that Garp would tear the fuck out of Marineford followed by Mariejois.
He'd show his asshole son how it's done.

>>3478044
I'm betting the assumption there was that the child would grow up to be as bad or worse than Rogers... but if he's grown up to join the Marines, you kind of lose your argument there, unless you're like Akainu and think everyone with a drop of pirate blood is evil.

To be frank, I think the Gorusei are smart enough to know he's more useful to them alive and loyal than dead and starting a civil war. Sure, he's a D, so they won't let him become Fleet Admiral, but even Garp was offered Admiral position, and Saul was a Marine officer too, so it's not like they're opposed to D's serving them. Just trouble-making ones like pirates.

Anyhoo, tallying and writing.

"So what's Luffy's deal anyway? He seems like an idiot, but it sounds like he had a fair shot at beating Crocodile, and he saved your country but kidnapped you?"

Vivi and Kohza give each other one of Those Looks again.

"Well..." Vivi slowly begins, "He's certainly not - conventially intelligent? But he arm a right through to the heart of things -" With his animal cunning, no doubt. "- and he's a strong fighter! He definitely would have won against Crocodile the second time, I'm sure - but his bro- but Firefist intervened, so he didn't have to."

You ignore the slip-up. "And kidnapping you...?"

"Vivi's father won't pay the ransom," Kohza says. "So we'll see how he feels as time passes."

... Yeah, they don't expect anyone to believe them. They're paying the bare minimum of lip service to her being 'hostage'.

"But! Even so, Luffy did a great deal to save Alabasta!" The wide smile on the princess' face perfectly matches the cheer you feel from her. Whether it's true or not, it's honestly what she - and Kohza- believe.

"I can't say I ever thought good things about pirates before the Strawhats, but they definitely changed my mind," Kohza admits, allowing a faint smile to show. Ah, one of those dramatic, 'I gotta look manly and cool at all times' type of guys. You'd be annoyed, but Smoboss is one of those, so you have to be loyal and not have any opinions on it.

... It's totally dumb.

In any case, you certainly have food for thought.

Winding down the conversation, you next head over to the kitchen, where the villainous Cheapshot Sanji is currently beginning to prepare some kind of lobster dish. The ingredients certainly all look good, you have to admit, and there looks to be plenty to go around.

"Can I help out any?" You lean over the countertop as he eyes you. "I'm feeling kind of useless, and it seems only right to assist in some way."

Cheapshot clicks his tongue as he washes a bowlful of vegetables. "Its nice to get an offer of help for once, and there ARE a lot to cook for... you have any experience?"

"Nothing beyond the basics, but I can do simple prep."

He doesn't look pleased by that, but after a few moments, you apprently pass the test of 'this guy can't mess up TOO bad, right?' and get pointed in he direction of various vegetables, with instructions on precisely how thin to slice or dice them.

Oh, and you're firmly ordered to wash your hands thoroughly first, because ladies will be eating. You're not sure why the women apparently have weaker immune systems than the guys...

Jesus that's depressing

>>3478157
Ah. I see another poor soul has fallen victim to the wiles of Princess Flash- uh, Mysterious Pirate Arthur-chan.

Turns out, you're pretty good at this. Okay, it's just rinsing stuff and chopping it, but you're handy with a knife, and after a few checks on you, Cheapshot decides you're 'not too bad, better than some of the idiots at the Baratie', and leaves you to it.

You think that's a compliment? Maybe? He does feel mildly pleased...

Might be a good idea to learn at least the basics in case we're ever away from away from friends for a while.

>teach me, Gordon Ramsey

"Don't suppose you can manage a cooking lesson while we're at it?" You try not to sound too demanding, but there's two points in your favor - firstly, cooking apparently makes Cheapshot happy and relaxed, judging by the emotions you feel bubbling off him, and secondly, you've won his approval in the field of chopping things up.

You're not really sure how hygienic it is for him to smoke while he cooks, though.

"I'm not letting you touch the trickier stuff, but sure," he says, not even looking at you as he measures out some spices. "How about I tell you what I'm doing and why as I go along?"

"Sounds good!" You push the bowls of chopped vegetables aside like he directs you, and move beside him to watch and listen as he works through the seafood.

You have to admit... he's really good. Smooth, practiced movements, even though he admits these types of food and spices are new to him - with a small taste, he knows exactly how much of what to add, and can even vary it according to individual crew members' tastes or nutritional needs, adding or removing various types from each plate assigned to the crew.

Damn pirates probably eat better than on your own ship, judging by the smell coming off the seafood, not fishy but light and enticing.

I'm sorry, anon. I don't think it's going to happen.
Not even if you distract him with bacon.

>>3478281
Sanji tried to break our dick. I want to break his heart and give Zolo all the chuckles. Fop though, we need to fix that.

>>3478267
On one hand he could probably control his dick size, but on the other hand I don't think Luffy even gets what sex is....

>>3478281
The thing with Fop is just really awkward. You want to bring it up but he's already past the initial issues anout it and Flashman's confidence as a man is already fragile as is without bringing the gender thing back up.

>>3478287
I mean
Somehow Goku has two children despite not knowing what kissing is.
Shonen is strange.

>>3478291
Going off my admittedly vague, hazy recollections of Amazon Lily, no. No he does not.

>71.
>also another 69, which means if you were a woman, Sanji would fall madly in love with you. but he'd do that anyway if you were a woman, so oh well.

(Cooking +7! Also bonus for double 69... I'll figure something out. If you pull another 69 in Cooking or by same anon, I'll figure out something reeeeally good.)

Yeah, you feel like you've learned a good bit - Cheapshot has to explain how cooking with regular ovens varies from cooking with Heat Dials, and how different spices are similar to Blue Sea ones, but he honestly sounds happy to have a willing audience.

You have a suspicion that no-one else helps out with the cooking on board, proven when Roronoa wanders over and demands to know if there'll be any booze with the meal.

"None for freeloaders!" Wow, Cheapshot sure snapped to pissed off fast. "Maybe help out a little instead of lazing around, Mosshead!" Heh. Mosshead. Nice.

"Like you'd even want me helping," Roronoa scoffs, sounding both bored and annoyed.

"Of course I wouldn't! You're too dumb too realize you don't know jack shit, you'd probably poison us all! At least this guy wants to learn!"

>... Please don't bring me into it.
>I just wanted to make myself useful?

>Other?

>>3478265
>>3478270
... I don't think Sanji has any reason to suspect Flashy of womanliness? Apart from pretty eyes and a suspiciously body-concealing outfit, I guess, but I don't think he's dumb enough to jump on that as evidence.

>>3478267
Pretty sure it's bad, honestly. I mean, people are all 'oho, stretchy!' but in practice? Probably more compression. Plus I'm pretty sure he's as asexual as Flashy seems to be.

>>3478295
>Flashman's confidence as a man is already fragile as
...It's really not though? The most he has against being called a woman is that everyone ELSE is sniggering about it. If the peanut gallery kept their thoughts to themselves I doubt he'll care what Fop thinks he is.

>>3478299
Just finished Marineford and can confirm, no he does not. Word from Ods actually, that Usopp is the bad influence in those matters. He reacted to Nami when he was with Usopp in Alabastra because he's effectively a middle school boy, and when their together shenanigans happen. Its why he doesnt react in the slightest on Amazon Lily by himself.

>>3478308
>It's a handy skill to have...

>>3478308
>>Hey, don't talk down to knowing about poison, saved my life before...

>>3478295
It's not just awkward, it's tied to what is basically the worst day of his life, and it's someone who he believes to be a friend and someone who can be trusted.

WHEN he finds out,he isn't going to just up and accept it, either he sulks and we'll have to work extremely hard to regain his trust again (best case scenario) ,or he'll be so fucking pissed that we might even turn him onto a darker path, becoming our enemy and stuff

Yeah, I never thought you guys would take so long to tell him. I figured as soon as Tashigi was confirmed the winner and you were assured he wasn't going to out her, you'd tell him, hohoho, hahaha, joke over, the end, with a bit of panic and confused embarrassment on his end.

It kind of... spiralled. I mean, I love mistaken identities, disguises and general misunderstandings, but daaaaamn, if it isn't bad for poor Fop in the long-term. Good thing I'm looking forward to making Flashy suffer!

>>3478336

>valuable life skills

"It's a handy skill to have... for any adult, let alone pirates who might not have access to markets with food they know and trust," you point out.

Cheapshot nods eagerly, smiling widely. "That's it exactly! Everyone should know how to cook at least a few things well, rather than sitting around drinking all day and then expecting to be fed."

"Oh yeah?" Roronoa does that damn smug look again. "I don't see the women helping either..."

"OF COURSE THE LADIES SHOULDN'T WORK, YOU NEANDERTHAL!!"

Deciding discretion is the better part of valor, you step back from the ensuing bickering, and focus instead on slapping Strawhat's rubbery arm away as it 'discreetly' stretches to try and grab food. You suspect people would kick up a fuss if you tried to cut his hand off.

Dude, the Strawhats enjoy the conflict between the Strawhats. These two fighting is background scenery for them at this point

>you are a keeper of the peas, or something

Giving a polite cough, you slap Strawhat's arm away once more. "Excuse me, but I think the food is going to go cold, and I don't think any of us want that..."

That grabs Cheapshot' s attention at least, even if Lolonoa doesn't seem to care, the damn... Mosshead. Yeah. That's a good term. Cheapshot might be a cheapshot, but he comes up with accurate insults.

"Go find your own drinks, asshole!" That one's fitting too, as Cheapshot jabs a furious finger away from the kitchen, tasting of frustration and annoyance. "SOME of us are being useful!"

... You're being useful! Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh~~!!!

Ahem.

In any case, Lolonoa casts the pair of you a silly, disgruntled glare, and ambles off to ooh and aah over dials with the others, which Cheapshot stubs out his cigarette, sniffs, and then eyes you speculatively.

Also Fop - can't we say we were too embarrassed / caught off guard by his assumption that we failed to correct him there and then so were just content to let him figure out we're a guy once we had the mask off...but he never did? Honestly I dont really have any sympathy for his stupidity, Flashy is attractive but not to trap levels that everyone looking at him will automatically assume he'a a chick.

"Macarons!" Your answer is immediate. Your eyes are sparkling. Your drool is... not quite falling, but certainly forming.

Cheapshot pauses. "You really like macarons, huh?"

"I like anything sweet," you immediately say. "But macarons are something I haven't had in... wow, a long time."

"I'm not surprised, they aren't great for a firat-timer," Cheapshot comments, starting to pull open cupboards to look through. "They're hard-mode for most bakers, you really need to pay attention to the humidity and adapt the ingredient measurements - even a slight moisture difference in the air can throw the recipe off. We can probably do it though, looks like they have most of the stuff needed."

He starts tugging out various packets as though this is his own kitchen, and you feel the relaxed cheeriness emanating from him. Why is this guy a pirate instead of a chef? "All right - you'll help out with this, but follow my instructions exactly. I'll step in and take over if it looks like you're gonna fuck up, got it?"

You manage not to salute (too Marine), and give a thumbs up instead. "Got it, head chef!"

... He's totally preening. "Head Chef, huh? All right, lemme show you how to measure temperature and humidity, then we'll weigh these out..."

Is the number 1 phrase
"Oh that's cool, a mermaid joined my crew after I almost drowned."?

>92 + 14 = 106, NOICE. Or maybe SWEET.

The main course is served up, everyone digging in except for you and Cheapshot. Or Chefshot. You can't even bring yourself to care - he isn't eating either, insisting both your focuses should be dedicated to making dessert, and you see his point.

It should take longer to make the macaroons apparently, but the chef has a whole host of shortcuts he lets you in on that don't cut down on the quality - and though he helps organize you and instructs you in what to do and when, you find yourself picking everything up quickly, never having to be told anything more than once.

"You ARE good at this," Cheapshot approves, eyeing the nearly complete macarons with an air of impressed pleasure. "They're not perfect, but you could serve these in a decent restaurant. You sure you've never done this before?"

"I just have a way with sweet things, I guess," you suggest, trying not to be flattered by the words of a pirate. You're good at paperwork, but no-one makes much of a big deal over that except for Smoboss, and you're good at weaponry, but everyone kept trying to keep you FROM combat for so long.

It's kind of nice to be good at something and just get straight-up complimented for it. Especially from an obvious expert.

"If I end up cooking more often before you go, you can help out a little," Cheapshot decides, shoving dishes into the sink. "I don't get much help usually, because I wouldn't trust most of the crew in my galley in the first place -" (you suspect he means the men) "- but you're not awful., shitty-guest."

>>3478524

>>3478529
Well yea, but most of them by this point its more like "F-filthy pirates! Baka!"

>>3478523
No, hes still a dad. Like, he's your moms new younger boyfriend she brings home ine night. She says he's gonna be your new dad, you say you want things to go back to how they were. He yells at you for disrespecting your mother, you shout back you hate him. But one day you find you have somethings in common, and he isnt actually all that bad even if he gets on your nerves. You always call him by his first name, but deep down you're glad you have someone to begrudgingly call dad when he's not around.

>sudden interruption!

"You like teaching others how to cook as well?" You can't help but be curious; seriously, judging from his skill and his emotions while he cooks and bakes, piracy shouldn't be his career. He's utterly wasted on a pirate ship. Did they kidnap and Stockholm the crap out of him? Strawhat does have that cunning charm that's won the Princess and Kohza over, and you don't doubt he'd make a special effort for such a good cook.

"I used to work on the Baratie, a floating restaurant back in East Blue," San- Cheapshot says, as the two of you clear up. "Back there, even though I had to teach the other chefs plenty, those assholes still kept treating me like a kid. It's nice to get some actual appreciation for a lesson."

You sigh. "Yeah, I understand the lack of respect thing." At first Smoboss though photography was stupid, and would rather have you fighting - then as soon as you actively WANTED to go fight, it was all, oh noooooo, too dangerous, stay back, why are you even here? "It's like people have this one, static view of you, and no matter how much you changed improve, they keep looking at you like you were when they first met you."

Sanji nods sharply in agreement. "Exactly! I was a better cook than any of them, but just because I was ten or twelve or fifteen when I first met them, it's like they permanently locked me into their minds as some dumbass brat who couldn't tell the difference between terroires, or stuff a five-bird roast properly. Assholes."

You have no idea what a terroire is, but as you open your mouth to ask, some of the Strawhats pause in eating their macarons to peer in alarm out to sea.

"Hey - where's Nami?"

THAT grabs Sanji's attention. As a matter of fact, he very suddenly isn't even beside you any more, snapping into place at the balcony as he leans out to see. "NAMI-SWAAAAAAN?! WHERE IS SHE?!"

If we do get the (highly unlikely) chance to eat Enel's fruit.
Do we?
It's easily an Admiral level fruit.
Lightning would also be hotter than fire, generally, so Ace isn't as threatening (that is, if he isn't a corpse.)
Also being able to literally flash around would be cool.
Enel only lost to Luffy because of overreliance on his fruit and overconfidence.
His theoretical bounty is HUUUGE.

>>3478650
Bonus points in that we can get the nickname Shocker.
Almost the same word as Smoker.
Also we can electrify our chains if we bind an opponent.
Also *railgun cannonballs*

>>3478650
Provided we even get a CHANCE to eat it. I'd go for it. The Flashman with actual lightning would he amazing. It'd shore up his defenses and synergize with his weapons perfectly. It's definitely a gamble and something we should consider, but ultimately unnecessary with all the bullshit we pull normally. There's no need to go full power sperg with it, but yes we should eat the fruit. My thoughts at least.

That whole bit with Cheapshot was really nice, thank you. I really enjoyed it. That being said
>Sounds like filthy pirate business! Just relax and keep cleaning up.
Much as I'd like to run out, leaving dishes behind is gross. And we're the new guy. Basically our job.

You know, there aren't many fruits on Skypeia. . . They said they make candy from fruits but its expensive and limited quantity. If we can get a fruit and carry it or put it near Enel, the chances of their being another fruit nearby are much smaller than on other islands probably. . .

>>3478650
In a heartbeat. It’s a god tier fruit, and wouldnt carry the stigma of not knowing what it was like with the acid fruit. I mean, WE knew what it was, but IC Flashy was apprehensive because it could have been anything. With the Lightning fruit, we’d have a strong idea atleast.

>>3478650
I also like the idea because it goes with Flashman's name :P

To be honest, if we manage to get our hands on the lightning fruit, I will be voting for giving it to Sunglasses, just for shits and giggles.

He needs the base base fruit to go with Hat.

>>3478650
Honestly? Yeah 100 percent. Enel's fruit is insanely powerful, the fact he met the one guy that couldn't be hurt by his lightning is 1 in a million, and Flashman gets pashed this by being capable with multiple weapons and hakis. I would feel like a total dumbass if we didn't eat the fruit, it's just too good. Plus used creatively and it would synergies well with our metal weaponry when needed.

>>3478674
Acid fruit was potentially harmful to our equipment, we didn't know what it was IC so it would be fair for Flashman to be hesitant, and wouldn't work too well with our fighting style. Lightning on the other hand is insanely powerful, and Enel spent the entire arc absolutely wrecking everyone with virtually no effort whatsoever and it took a guy made entirely out of rubber and therefore completely insulated to beat him.

Regardless of pilfering the Overpowered Rap God's devil fruit or not I do wonder how Enies Lobby will play out if we do end up somewhat befriending the Straw Hats here.
Because god fuckin damn it is the reason behind them wanting to kill Robin is retarded and totally against what I see Flashman's sense of justice being.
>ok so we did the equivalent of nuking an island full of archaeologists because they might read the wrong thing and might use the knowledge they might have managed to find to activate superweapons they might find
>and then we try to hunt down the only survivor, an 8 year old girl, for 20 years so we can kill her
How the fuck any marine can think the World Government is a good thing after learning about Buster Calls I don't fucking know.
WHY CAN'T THEY BE RECALLED?
WHY DO THEY REQUIRE NO CONFIRMATION?
WHAT IF YOU FALL DOWN DURING A FIGHT AND THE BUTTON IS PUSHED ACCIDENTALLY?

>>3478650
without a doubt

>>3478835
The whole removing evidence of people's existence ain't new, government used to do it on the regular, before the media caused us to be too busy shouting at each other.

Buster call is still bad, especially due to how easy to activate it is and how location dosen't matter

I completely support the eating of not!Eminem's Fruit just for the mental image of Flashman literally jumping off of Skypea and turning into Lightning to avoid splattering on the (possible) ground below
Bonus points for landing near/in front of Smoboss and/or Tashigi

>>3478857
I’d fucking LOVE to get one of the Invincible fruits. Goro-Goro is fucking insane and would make even a scrub Admiral tier.
