Cover-art kindly provided by our noble artiste, Draw-anon, who generously took time off repainting the Sistine Chapel for us. Look upon our prettyboy protagonist. Look upon his devilish smile and despair.

In last thread’s episode of One Piece Genuine Pirate Quest, our accurately named mysterious hero MYSTERIOUS HERO ARTHUR someone managed to fill a whole thread in about two in-game hours. What the crap. Anyway, you also made pancakes for Chopper, effected some useful repairs to Merry, and prevented further damage by some crazy asshole on a bird. You also casually obliterated two priests, because the Dice Gods are madly in love with you or something. I don’t even know any more. But anyway... pancakes?

We now return you to your scheduled idiocy.

>i like old things

“Let’s go find your ruins,” you say. You’re still... maybe a little shaken? No, not shaken. Just... you don’t even know. Confused, yes. Guilty, probably not. Annoyed with yourself, maybe. It’s like you spent your whole life living in the same house and only just now realized there’s another door to a room you’ve never been in.

You’re not entirely sure you want to open it.

In any case, Nico and Chopper seem a-okay with heading off again before Sheep-Goat-Dude can wake up. You take the opportunity to loot- uh, SEARCH Gedeadsu’s corpse for any shiny Dials, though, finding several. You’re not really sure what most of them do, but it probably isn’t time to try them out and maybe injure yourself.

(ACQUIRED: Two Milky Dials. Two Jet Dials.)

I imagine our camera can do the job of Vision and Flash Dial just fine (though the latter, probably not to the same extent).

So looks like Ta-sis, papaSmo and SmolBoss are popular in general, with shades of Klaus and Garp, plus Chopper/Robin/Sanji...

Backstory is still a way off, the Fop-stuff can be sorted when you get back... hmm...

By the way, I also sorted out Enies Lobby! Then remembered there’s still Water 7 first, so there’s no point making any plans at all. Oh well.

By the way, do you guys want Nami to see your compass? You’ll prooooobably be meeting up with everyone tonight for MANLY CAMPING, so there’s an opportunity there for more misunderstandings.

Of course

>>
>>3491578
Nami doesn't get to see it. Not because she might recognize it, but because Flashy doesn't want her to try to steal it again.
>>
>>3491578
>By the way, do you guys want Nami to see your compass?
Yes. I like the mutual awkwardness of Robin having Arthur's back, and he having hers.
>>
>>3491578
Nah, why would we ever allow the chance to steal it again
>>
>>3491578

Nope

But if we get the froot, we can attempt to badly pass it off as a flash dial.

Yes. MISUNDERSTANDINGS HO! ONLY WE CAN LIE BETTER THAN USOPP!
>>
>>3491593
I'm thinking it can be used a a devil fruit user stun gun if we pack it with enough sea water - not enough to take them out but enough for someone to get the drop on them while they're out of it.

Plus apparently they can store enough water in them to put out Enel's judgement fires, so useful portable water supply too.
>>
>>3491593
The one moment in which the Water Dial is mentioned is when Enel blasts the shit out of someone and there's a huge fire left behind. His priests call for A water dial, singular. That shit has to be pretty damn powerful, or at least it stores a metric ton of water.
>>
I think we’ve got Flash, Impact and Water at 6 votes each...?

Also considering having you give Sogeking your colliding-bullets from the Loguetown warehouse, to pass on to Usopp as a lucky charm, seeing as he’s apparently a marksman as well as a Captain. Hm.

I still can't comprehend why Nami thought it to be a good idea to steal from a Marine of all people. Did she not care or is she just that big of a kleptomaniac?
>>
>>3491603
>>3491604

guess this makes it flash and water?
>>
>>3491605
Tbf she did just get freed from /needing/ to steal things. It was probably habit
>>
>>3491602
I would assume that as with all Dials, it depends on size. Seeing as you’ve pulled it out of a pocket, while it would doubtless store more water than it looks like it should (because One Piece bullshit), you won’t be filling a swimming pool with it.

>>3491634
You got a brief crash course in Conis’ home, though that was obviously less combat, although they explained there are more dangerous ones.

You also gave the lance a quick test before you left Merry, so you know it makes shit real hot.

Also, rolling for Zolo&Nami and Luffy-group.

Dangit dice

Time to clear it
>>
>>3491643
It stores water, and the one time it's mentioned in canon a single dial was used to put out a large fire started by Enel. BP's ruled that it's effectiveness is dependent on the size of the Dial, so we'll have to test it out to see how much water it can store and how fast it can release it
>>
>>3491647
No, but he was inspired by SOMETHING, because Flashy read a news report that he’s got Sandai Kitetsu now. So swordsman-Bartolomeo is a thing, although it’s early days yet.

Rolled 47 (1d100)

>>3491689
To be fair, it was Luffy-group v those dumbass twins, and then Zolo&Nami v Yama. Mostly Nami rather than Zolo.

Nearly done eating, will write soon.
>>
>>3491702
>Mostly Nami rather than Zolo.
Zolo's roll was the 28? He's been deprived of so many cool moments. Wonder what his ranking in the popularity poll is in viewer-world...
>>
>>3491711
His inner monologue is just laughing Flashman. Its really throwing his game off.
>>
Jesus we need to hurry and locate Enel before the Strawhats knock him on his ass and he runs away.
Might have to disable the Ark to prevent him escaping.
>>
>52, nothing much

You continue on, letting Nico lead the way as usual, for over an hour of walking. The wildlife is... not overly aggressive, surprisingly, and Nico perks up as you finally reach what must be the destination - a remainder of old buildings, half-buried by the woods, along with some kind of writing on a massive slab.

She consults a book to help translate it, while you and Chopper take a seat and wait.

>Say/do anything?

If you want a little practice with the meteor-hammer/Lance, you can do that now. Your Haki is currently off due to overtaxing it, but you won’t be attacked by anything yet anyway.


>>3491711
Yeah, I’m gonna say Zolo stepped back for most of that one. Naomi stepped up to beat the idiot twins in canon, here I’m gonna say she demanded to finish Yama. Nami’s stronger here than she was in canon, thanks to extra motivation for training.
>>
You know it's almost too bad about the Eisen dial cloud sword. It's a straight upgrade from a normal katana but between Flashman's love of his personal weaponry(which I do really enjoy admittedly) and already having two swords, it probably wont happen. Zoro will probably take it too, since he probably needs a better sword right now, but on the off chance he doesn't and Flashman can get it, it would be a perfect gift for Tashigi. She would love a super special katana made of infinite clouds from an ancient sky island that she probably couldn't even stay mad at Flaahman.

You snap a few more pictures, including of the massive... thing... that Nico’s reading. It’s just a bunch of squiggles to you. Even when you peer over her shoulder to peek at her notebook, it might as well just be pointless doodles.

“Shandora...” she says, clearly speaking to herself. “So that’s the name of the city that was here...”

“Sooooooooo,” you finally say, while Chopper’s busy looking at various plants to try out their medicinal properties.

Nico spares a brief glance at you. “Mm?”

“I’m bored,” you reply, blunt but honest. “What language is this? What does it mean? Educate me.”

“... You mean entertain you?” She smiles slightly anyway, “I’d say it’s hardly the time for you to learn, but there’s never NOT a time to learn.” Motioning towards the giant slab, she explains. “This is an old and little-known language, that mostly died out over the last few hundred years, as Government Standard became more universal. It’s really quite a simple language, one

OH THANK FUCK IT ISN’T BROKEN

To continue, not that it’s important:
“-really quite a simple language, once you’ve got a grasp on the grammar,” Nico explains, moving onto a quick lesson on weird rules and differences you’ve never even thought of before.

>82

(Gained Linguistics (Basic) skill +8! You still don’t actually know any other languages, but you have a better idea of the underlying structure of How Languages Work.)

You actually prove to be a fairly quick learner, enough that Nico goes a bit more in-depth. You’re not exactly strapped for time, and she seems to like teaching though, so why not.

Finally though, she glances up at what sky is visible above the treetops. “We should head back to the Merry. It’ll be getting dark soon.”

A glance at your watch proves her right, even though she seems reluctant at the thought of not searching through the rest of the city.

General physical fitness, staff fighting, and a little something more, which I won't spoil in case you come up against it.

Let's just say you kicking her ass with ease and having to be rescued by Dragon didn't reassure her much of her abilities.


As for Robin, guys, she wouldn't share eeeeverything, but you'd definitely get a 'wtf do you think I did at 8yrs old, dumbass, Marines fucked me over' talk.

Nami is full backstory, as is Zolo (which would involve Wado), Chopper and Luffy (except for Sabo-stuff and for who Ace's dad is). Sanji's would be about the Baratie. Karoo's would be a long and tragic tale based on his struggle breaking into the elitist Super Spot-Billed Duck Squadron, and his changing it into the meritocratic bastion of skill it is today. Kohza would talk about moisture-farming on Tattooine or something.

It takes less to get back than it did to get to the ruins, now you know the route. Goat dude is gone, you note, although... priest dude's body has just been left there. Flies buzzing around it.

The rest of the walk back is fairly silent, until you get close enough to the Merry to hear noises from ahead.

>>
>burn the wiiiiitch or something

It's easier to get back on board the ship this time, because it turns out that goddamn Pajaya and Conis turned up while you were gone (what the hell?) with a boat. And their waver. So that's... handy? Especially because Pajaya has some kind of dial that makes walkable clouds, so getting past the sky-sharks is easier.

And they have a little girl with them, glaring at everyone. Okay.

Somewhat more normally, Lolonoa and the Witch Thief have also returned - the former with a few scratches and bruises, but otherwise none the worse, and the latter visibly more wounded, although nothing serious.

Doctor Cutie still rushes her off to look over as soon as the three of you get aboard, though.

With Chopper and the Witch gone, the rest of you are seated in the galley, brightly lit against the setting sun outside.

"So," Lolonoa drawls, lifting up the note to show you and Nico, his other hand holding a bottle of rum. "'Gone to explore. Killed an attacker. Have a lovely day. Robin'. Real informative, thanks for that."

Nico smiles. "You're welcome, Mr Samurai."

>muh loot

While Lolonoa scowls and Nico smiles back, you take the time to do something actually useful, by turning to the two Skypieans. "Hey, Pajaya, Conis, can one of you explain these Dials I found?"

As it turns out, you have a pretty good haul - the two are certainly excited by the 'Jet Dials', which are apparently extinct. The two 'Milky Dials' are useful up here, but Conis is certain they won't work back on the ground, which is a shame. Maybe you can trade them for different ones?

The Flash dial might be useful for something (though you prefer its name), while the Water dial DOES sound useful - fresh water? Sea water? Emergency Pink Flamingo? Perfect.

As you'd guessed, the lance has a Heat dial in it as well; just heating the lance up from another source should make the dial recharge easily enough.

Plus, it's a big-ass lance.

A thorough explanation of all their capabilities has both Lolonoa and Nico listening in with interest as well, although whether they want some of their own or are just concerned about facing enemies with them, you have no idea.

More importantly, you're fairly confident in using them now.

(Gained better understanding of Sky Combat, aka trashing people with dials!)

"I'm amazed you got hold of these Jet Dials," Pajaya reaffirms, turning one over to admire it. "Was it one of God's Militia who had these?"

"Uh, let's save story time until everyone's here," you defer/deflect/other de-words. "It's not really a big deal." Really, it wasn't. They were clearly over-reliant on Haki and cocky with it... which, to be fair, is a good lesson for you. You're getting by on it really damn well at the moment, but if you can't use it - or come up against someone BETTER in it - it's gonna be trouble.

There's a reason why Haki is considered so important in the New World, after all. And you rather suspect this God guy has got you beat in the Observation department. Hopefully he doesn't have Armament as well... Honestly, you KNOW he knows about you killing his guys. Why hasn't he come to attack you himself, yet?

Nico raises an eyebrow, but merely sips her tea - the Skypieans aren't too bothered, but Lolonoa seems mildly put out.

"Merry wasn't damaged in the attack?"

"No, no, I used a projectile to kill the guy," you reassure. "He kind of crashed down onto the ship, but no actual damage."

"Mr Guest even went so far as to mop up," Nico says sweetly. You're 99% certain she's making fun of you, so you roll tour eyes and go to see what sweet things Cheapshot has in supply.

"It was only polite, being a guest and all." You root through a cupboard, trying not to move more than necessary - there's some chocolate, but it's the kind for baking with, and you're not QUITE that desperate yet.

"Such good manners," Nico comments innocently. You manage not to flip her off. "He even fed us, too."

"Mm." Lolonoa sounds utterly uninterested. "All right, so Merry and Chopper are safe, that's good. Now we just have to hope Luffy'll turn up soon - one of the idiots we fought said everyone else was somewhere in Upper Yard."

That makes me wonder, can dials be used to contain certain logia users? Like using breath/flavor dials to contain gas logias like Smoboss or that gas clown guy, water dials to store liquid ones like Mina or Hat, flash dial for that light logia guy etc.

>>3492433
I'd imagine that logia uses could smash through any dials by sheer force - or just overload them.

Just slip few dials into your pocket and infiltrate some place, either sneaking or in disguise, both easier dome when its just one guy.

"I'm sure they'll be fine, they're a big group."

"Even so, the Priests are dangerous enemies," Conis warns, sounding worried. HA. Dangerous! Cute. What can they do, spurt blood at you real viciously? "There are wild animals out there as well, apart from God's servants. "

"I doubt any of them are gonna get eaten," you try to reassure.

"Not the crew, maybe, but I feel sorry for the wildlife," Lolonoa comments, still lounging back with his rum. "Sticking Luffy here is one way to depopulate the place."

Aha! A bag of chococlate-centered candies! Not great, but they'll tide you over.

You settle down with one, just as Chopper and the Witch return, which is apparently the perfect cue for Nico yo start explaining the slab she'd found.

It seems that they're looking for some massive, golden bell, although Lolonoa seems more interested in stabbing God - you suspect Strawhat wants both the gold and the God-beating.

As such, tomorrow, she wants to go back towards the ruins and look in the center of town for any sign of it.

As for you, you couldn't really care less about some old, gold bell. Of course, you'd also like to not get murdered by a so-called God, who's apparently got some damn good range with his Observation.

Conis and Pajaya are insistent that the Strawhats escape back down below, while the kid, Aisa, is a sulky, silent little brat, glaring at everyone and everything. She's like the anti-Mina.

Seasus, you wanna go home.

... Huh. You called it home.

Yesss. Uh, I have a qustion tho. Are we really on their level right now? Most of our wins have been from cheap shots, sneak attacks, and surprises. Can we really match up toe to toe with the strongest the Straw Hats can dish out?
>>
>>3492628
I'm pretty sure our haki helps us bridge the gap. It is kinda being used as a crutch though.
>>
>>3492628
Our one hit kill attacks have been from attacks on people who can see them coming and should have been able to dodge.
It's like if Zoro ended a fight in a single slash and it being called a "cheap shot".
We've got decent Haki and are thus the best candidate for being able to somewhat fuck with Enel in combat while Strawhat is able to actually hit him.
>>
>>3492537
That's funny, because one of the only fruits I would even consider to get instead of the Goro Goro is Kizaru's DF (Flashy with the Light Light fruit, just IMAGINE IT)
>>
>>3492642
Unfortunately for the purposes of Flashy, Kizaru's fruit has a NEVER EVER chance of being obtained unless we betray the marines and kill him in a sneak attack or something.

He wouldn't even use the power, he would just make everything sparkle and look fabulous.

It also might be possible to actually travel from one Den Den to another because IRL they just convert sound to an electrical signal which is sent to the other phone.

Days before we get our seastone boots
>>
>>3493558
Oh yeah, that reminds me - if you guys do gets Enel's fruit, you won't be able to transform any seastone on you.

No biggy if you're pretending not to have powers, but if you do turn into lightning, you'll have to leave any seastone behind.
>>
>>3493577
What about partial-seastone items (i.e. if we got those seastone-capped boots some people have mentioned wanting to get)? Would the seastone bits just fall off, or would the entire item be left behind?
Mainly just asking out of curiosity/for future reference.
>>
I think the fruit ideas are neat, but they'd have an awful impact on the social aspects of Harry's life.

How so?
We're gonna hide the fact that we have an OP fruit from the marines anyway.
Between Buster Calls and Child Slaves it a wonder how everyone doesn't just join the revolutionary army.
Mina was a WG child slave by the way.
Similar to Hancock and her sisters, probably.
The WG might be garbo but Flashy still thinks his crew are all good people.
>>
>>3493586
Hiding things from SmoBoss? Especially something like a devil fruit power? Good luck, in multiple senses.
But even if Smoker gets brought in, the expectation is to use the power liberally on pirates. Specifically the Strawhats. Not that they shouldn't be taken out for being pirate scum, but if the White Mist catch up with them, it's going to be a situation where Harry can't hold back.
Or, he hurts Dad even more by saying he can't fight (these) pirates anymore.

Just a lot of different ways for things to go sideways with fruit powers
>>
>>3493583
I don't really see it, how?
>>
>>3493591
Thing with the Goro Goro no Mi is that you can easily use it to pretend to have a different power.
Jobbing on purpose is a Garp tried and true tactic.
Also even if we should fight them we can just dial the lightning voltage to minimum.

How about we just keep the fruit and then, if we ever truly need it in the future, we eat it.

Plus what's all this talk about NEVER being out of smobosses command, sooner or later flashman is going to be promoted further, then he'll HAVE to get and lead his own crew.

I mean every chick must eventually leave the nest, we won't be able to stay with them forever, especially not if we actually intend to push smoboss to become the fleet admiral or want to have the power to change anything about the world government.

If we want to

>Arresting all of the straw hats

>>
>>3493600
Bad considering our feelings. It really, really, REALLY sucks when the people you're chasing are good people, but have still done illegal things.
>>
>>3493599
Eating it when we *need* it means we have little to no experience in using it. Training would be a necessity if we do get it and eat it... and Smoboss *is* already showing Mina the ropes of her (Logia? Paramecia?)
>>
>>3493599
>only eat the fruit when it's needed
This is begging for shit to go wrong.
Not many options to eat a big fruit in a fight
And a Strawhat might steal it.
How about.
We eat the fruit
But only reveal the powers when we absolutely must?
Training in using it jn secret will be enough of a pain, never mind trying to use a fruit perfectly immediately after eating it.
>>
>>3493606
It's a Logia.
An absolutely terrifying one if it can control other people's blood too.
>>
>>3493593
Okay
>1. Don't tell Smoboss
Suddenly Flashman has to jump through an inordinate amount of hoops to keep his power hidden. There was a whole slew of 'amusing' greentexts about avoiding any water-related marine activities in previous threads. It's going to come out eventually.
Alternatively >>3493594 and pretend it's just another power leads to the whole mess where, if it ever gets revealed it's a logia, people will be pissed. And Flashman's on a ship with another logia user, so it's not something we can bite our tongue on like in >>3493595 because it's something to live with day in and day out. I don't know if you can turn that stuff on and off or not, but it's only a matter of time until Smoker finds out. And then it's point 2 + disappointed dad.
>2. Tell Boss, keep secret anyway
SmoBoss would probably be okay with this, but only as long as Harry uses use it for protecting the crew/furthering justice. When it comes down to it though, he'll be expected to cast Lightning Bolt on the Strawhats. Which again, is kind of like Flashman's job >>3493600 but also it's kind of an increasing grey area for him right now.
All I mean is that this pre-planning/joking going on about other arcs might get cut short by Flashman being too OP for OP

Does that follow?
>>
>>3493610
If we don't eat it we still have to lie about having it.
Otherwise it just gets taken away by Marine HQ.
>>
>>3493607
Especially with Klaus the Disney Princess and his army of sword-mice. How in the name of Seasus are we going to hide that from him? But, hobodad is such a shit he may go out of his way to help us just to fuck with Smoboss. Plus it means he can go full tilt in training. Lord have mercy.

Easiest way to win is not to play.
>>
>>3493615
?????
No.
>>
>>3493610
I have to agree with this.
>>
All of this is assuming we A) manage to kill Enel in the first place, B) are still in a fit state to do anything following the fight, C) happen to find, identify and grab the damn fruit before anyone else, and D) actually get a chance to eat it before things get chaotic and we end up losing it.

That's a lot of assumptions.
>>
>>3493618
Okay.
I honestly don't know if BP would put Flashman through the wringer like that, but lies aren't good for a family. And lies always get found out eventually.
>>
>>3493625
Actually only step 1 needs to be accomplished
Step 2-4 were resolved by somebody saying they would spend a Nat100 point on it if the consensus was eating the fruit.
Most consensus is eating it.
>>
>>3493591
>Hiding things from SmoBoss?
Nah it'll be like another Mina senario where we tell him and Klaus, but otherwise keep it a secret from everyone else.

Flashy is only at risk of transfer if anyone else but his dad's get wind that he has the Goro-Goro.

Also it's unlikely we're gonna be asked to do much swimming anyway.
Four Swords (well 3 and a Jitte) a gun, 2 cannonballs on a chain and two chained fans
And we almost drowned already anyway.
Not being able to swim isn't an issue when you can fly.
>>
Reminder, guys. The Goro Goro has SO MUCH POWER we can literally pass it off as like a dozen different fruits. Hell, we could fake it being Kidd's fruit with little issue.

>>3493648
Point here. We carry so many weapons we're unlikely to be swimming about, especially since we're now a proper officer and will be wearing a suit and such.
>>
>>3493581
Seastone caps will be touching the boot itself, so... I'm going to say you couldn't transform the boots. Smoboss has a seastone tipped jitte but he doesn't transform ANY of it. Not sure if it's because it's impossible or just not much reason for it, but that's what I'm going with.

>>3493595
And letting Thursday go...

>>3493599
It's pretty simple, just repeatedly force Smoboss up in rank before you!
... Actually now I think about it, Tashigi is still with him when he's a Vice-Admiral, so that's a legimitate strategy.

>>3493614
I'm gonna nip this in the bud here, sadly Klaus does NOT have an army of sword-wielding rodents. He may have one. If that's not TOO stupid. Maybe. As everyone knows, this quest is the height of seriousness and maturity.

As for everything else... ASSUMING Enel dies (which he still might not), and assuming you vote to eat the Fruit...

The first consideration is whether or not to let the Strawhats know you ate it, because if they know Arthur ate it and then Flashy turns up with it, it either blows your cover or they think you killed Arthur (except for Robin and Zoro, who find it hilarious).

Second, while Mina is a separate issue, Smoboss IS keeping your Haki abilities secret. Let's face it, he'd totally keep a Logia secret too. Fuck the Brass. Would he expect you to use it against the Strawhats? That's for you guys to contemplate and figure out the angles for. I foresee a long conversation with Smoboss when you get back anyway, regardless of Lightning powers.

There are going to be difficulties and shenanigans either way, because I love those. If you tell Smoboss and then try to keep up your Arthur identity with lightning powers as well, what happens if Mysterious Pirate Arthur the Lightning Logia becomes a public figure?

Good news is, you guys prooobably won't be doing Water 7, so you won't be ordered to attack the Strawhats any time soon, anyway.

Also we might be having another non-canon thread sometime soon, because I need to read ahead more.

(More good news... now you've got metal-cutting mostly down, Klaus will be working on finding an Armament tutor for you...)
>>
>>3493629
Better yet, he awakens his fruit and turns the entire ship into smoke, carrying everyone like a big, angry smoke cloud.

..... mmm yesssss gooooood, let me write that in my notes...

>>
>>3493651
Yesss. My vote is this: We eat the fruit. We tell Smoboss. We admit everything. He's dad. He's on our side.

>>3493652
We don't know what Awakened Logia do. So this is TOTALLY POSSIBLE.

If we do eat the Goro Goro fruit, I know the perfect place to practise using it.
Remember Raijin Island, shown at the start of the Punk Hazard arc? The one constantly showered by lightning strikes? Prime training ground for the user of the Goro Goro no Mi.

Only hurdle is getting to it.
>>
>>3493657
N-no...?
<_<

>>
>>3493666
Easy. We get Smoboss to punt us in the direction of the New World.

Either the European meaning or the American meaning, both works
>>
>>3493654
>Awakened Goro Goro no Mi
Jesus Christ what a terrifying thought.
>>
>>3493666
Wow, forgot all about that island. That's very convenient. Feel like if this was Strawhat quest, that definitely would've been where we got pushed to by Kuma for the timeskip.
>>
>>3493651
Word of QM it is then.
Still opposed to eating the fruit if we get it, but I appreciate the conversation.
>>

Ah, a shame about the Mice-keteer army. But you're right. That would be a tad too silly. But enough of that back to our regularly scheduled dad-collecting/dirty pirating.

>>3493626
But we wouldn't be lying to smoker or any important about them, and it's pretty obvious that he doesn't want us to fight unless it's absolutely necessary. I don't think he would want us to reveal Flashman's powers just to score a capture, even if it's to capture the strawhats or some other pirates.

Also you have to remember

1) one thing we're trying to push for is to get Smoker promoted high enough that a transfer would no longer be an issue

2) unless Flashman's sense of justice conflicts with absolute justice sure but he's still a marine. He'll still try to capture them as Commander Harry Flashman. He just won't use his powers to do it.

"I'm going to get some rest," you announce, finishing your candy. Not the whole bag though, you have some restraint. Honest. Mostly. "Today really wore me out."

"It's good to know you have limits," Robin says demurely. Using your aforementioned self-restraint, you merely glare at her from behind your collar, rather than outright flipping her off, and move to stand.

"You can sleep in the medical cabin you woke up in," Roronoa decides, also rising. "I'm gonna sit outside and keep watch."

The pair of you leave the others to talk, though Roronoa pauses once the galley door closes behind you both. "You think this God guy knows everything that happened?" The question is casual, but you get the underlying meaning - is he still watching everything?

You reply in kind. "I'm sure someone like that tries to be aware of everything on his island." Or, HELL YES, DO WATCH WHAT YOU SAY AND DO.

Roronoa gives a casual shrug, and settles down on deck to drink and wait; you head off towards the cabin.

>IN THE NAME OF HYGIENE, i will make an addition

With the cabin door securely locked, you quickly sort out your precious children (plus shiny new lance), whispering to them that you'll make it up to them later.

Poor babies.

That done, you settle Mr Speedy on the bedside table and make use of the tiny shower-room attached to the cabin. Considering it's likely for the rare use of crew too injured to get to their normal showers, it isn't great, but it'll do.

That done, weapons and Mr Speedy settled down, you collapse on the bed and fall sleep in an instant.

You're woken - judging by your watch, an hour later - by knocking on the door.

"Art-guy, wake up! We're having a party! Are you asleep?"

... Not any more, you little shit. You glare at the door, at least feeling somewhat more refreshed, and start pulling the remainder of your clothes on.

"Coming!" HE WON'T STOP KNOCKING AND YAMMERING.

He hasn't actually seen you use him in Arthur-identity, but he might have recognised him if you did, and he definitely would have if you'd said 'Mr Speedy' in front of him, because you called him that when Zolo was in the cell.

"Just grabbing my stuff!" You grit your teeth, putting an annoyed Mr Speedy back in your pocket and grabbing your children.

"C'mon, we haven't been camping in aaaages-" Strawhat's still blathering, which makes no sense, youre in hostile territory, and also they're PIRATES, dammit, not kids!

Well. You're starting to think Strawhat might have a mental age of about ten, so....

You shove open the door, finally, to see Strawhat Luffy's too-wide grin as he bounces back. "You're late! Sanji and Zoro are hunting for meat, come help with the campfire, Art-guy!"

You've figured out the secret truth behind the heart of this quest - the ultimate use for the Silence Fruit is so that you can seduce and bang women behind their husbands' backs, up to and including in closets at fancy Marine balls. Rosinante made full use of this, he just thought Law was too young to know.

Don't worry, I'm just messing around, it won't really happen.

Although in Tashigi's case, you and her were born on the same day, which implies her mother became pregnant about the same time as yours. So if he DID happen to be both your fathers, it's entirely possible he had a three-way with them.

So what I'm saying is, it's theoretically possible that you and Tashigi's mother Did Things together. I'll leave you with that thought while I write update.

>campfire time

You stare down at him, secretly loving the height difference. Why are most people so damn tall? If there's only one good thing in the world about this crew, it's that most of them are shorter than you. "If this isn't the best campfire in the world, I'm gonna kick your ass."

Strawbrat beams up him, letting out a stupid laugh as he reaches up to adjust his hat. "The best so far, we're gonna have even better ones in the future!"

Your first thought is, 'no you won't, you'll be in a cell!', which leads on to the sudden memory of your weird... emotions... regarding certain, recent.... revelation-y things. That you don't really want to think about. Although you'll probably have to. Eventually

Ugh.

"Let's go set things on fire," you sigh, following the bouncy brat as he whoops and flings himself... over the side of the ship and across the water-clouds, to where everyone seems to be setting up a friggin' campsite.

When there's a perfectly acceptable ship RIGHT HERE.

"There, there, Merry," you mutter, patting her on your way down the cloud trail to the others.

Hopefully nothing will go wrong tonight.

>nearly 600 comments in and literally nothing has happened

By the time everyone's dragged enough firewood in to start a massive damn bonfire, Cheapshot and Zolo have returned with an absolute shit-ton of meat in the form of a giant, dead... thing. It looks like it was actually dangerous before it met Kicky and Stabby.

After a brief pause for the chef to throw a fit over the women helping to collect wood, the food preparation begins, while the last of the wood is thrown on top of the pile.

It's... a damn big pile.

"Has anyone got matches?" The Witch glances around as she asks, but Sanj- Cheapshot's gone off to fetch spices from the galley, so there's no convenient lighter around.

Except for your GIANT HEAT STICK.

"Hold on," you say, holding it up. "My pointy thing also burns stuff real good."

"... What?"

"Watch, and be amazed!" You grin behind your collar, hefting the lance slightly into the wood-pile, under the curious eyes of the Strawhats, and press the button on the grip.

The metal top promptly flares a cherry-red, and in a flare of sparks, the wood explodes into crackling, rapidly spreading flames.

The Strawhats seem overly excited, by the way they promptly start freaking out, but you could admit it really is kind of impressive to watch.

"I hope this doesn't spark off and set the forest on fire," you muse. Even if it's not inhabited, it's still a dick move.

"ARTHUR, YOU'RE ON FIRE!!"

Hm?

You glance over your shoulder at where the Strawhats continue to be obnoxiously loud. "What? Oh, hold on, my shoulder's on fire. And my arm. Oh, hey, my side, too." Glad it isn't Mr Speedy's side, you pull out your shiny new Water Dial and give yourself a good hose down while the pirates stumble into silence and stares. "Right, done! What were you saying? I couldn't hear with all that crackling in my ear."

"N-never mind..." the Witch mumbles. Zolo just arches an eyebrow at you like a weirdo. Strawbrat seems to be in hysterical laughter. Seasus, they're nuts.

"I'm going to go help Sanji," Kohza mutters, shaking his head as he wanders towards the ship.

What the hell?

"It's a good bonfire, thank you, Arthur," the princess says, laughing a little awkwardly as she reaches over to pat your shoulder. "Maybe you should stand a little further back from it?"

"Over here...?"

"Further."

You shuffle back more. "Here?"

"KEEP MOVING."

.....

With the fire lit and the meat starting to be cooked - and an awful lot of alcohol mysteriously appearing - the party truly begins.

Later, while were were exploring those Shandy-, Shando-, Shandoran? Is that it? Right, Shandoran ruins, these other two Priest guys came up.

Other guy tried to run, but Robin knocked him out, and apparently you guys don't do the whole "kill 'em all" thing most other pirate crews do, so that threw me for a bit of a loop, and I feel a bit awkward for it.

Your clothes dry out quickly, seated around the bonfire, while Cheapshot cuts and cooks the meat. For a random animal, it's pretty damn good.

The booze has already been started on, and while it's no Pink Flamingo, it's not bad, either.

Which apparently means it's storytime.

First comes Strawhat's group - him, Sanji, Sogeking, Vivi, Kohza and Karoo - trying to explain their day in a giant mess of jumbled corrections and details. Apparently they took down one of the Priests, who sounds a lot stronger and trickier than the two you fought, as well as a few other lackeys. It takes about twenty minutes to get the full story out, with assorted bragging and impressions included, by which time, almost everyone is buzzed and in a good mood.

Next up is Zolo and the Witch, one of whom is pissed off he didn't get to fight a priest, and the other of whom is relieved.

They apparently just fought some lackeys. Boooo. Lame. No matter how much the Witch tries to exaggerate how strong they were, at the end of the day, a lackey's a lackey. Like how you're Smoboss' lackey (and proud!) so you'll never be as strong as him. Or as cool. Or smokey.

"Perhaps Arthur should explain what happened from our perspective," Nico suggests, as heads turn in the direction of your own group.

Chopper nods happily, as he drinks his own... you're gonna pretend that's not alcoholic. For your sanity's sake. He looks adorable sat by your side, though.

You shrug, take a swig of beer, and begin. "Okay, so there we were on deck, and some Priest guy that had this big burny-lance thing and was flying on a giant chicken tried rushing Merry; and I went, 'Hey now, that burny-lance thing could set something on fire.' So I threw a cannonball at him. A bit too hard. His head kind of... exploded a bit? Got all over Merry's deck. I really need to get better at that, but I mopped it up, like Robin said! Anyway, we didn't know he was a Priest at the time, because he was a chump who died in one hit. Then we went out to explore these Shandy-, Shando-, Shandoran? Is that it? Right, Shandoran ruins, and these other two guys came up. One of them had really weird hair and lost our staring contest, so I shot him. He also died like a chump. Other guy tried to run, but Robin knocked him out, and apparently you guys don't do the whole 'kill 'em all' thing most other pirate crews do, so that threw me for a bit of a loop, and I feel a bit awkward for it. Anyway, Robin taught me a little about dead languages to go with all the dead guys, and Chopper looked at plants. Pretty boring overall, this Enel guy is kinda a dissapointment."

(1/2)
>>
>>3494190
I honestly think he would be too shocked and confused to retaliate.

He'd probably say something like, they talk to you too? Or some equally weird thing that accidently makes him win the exchange through sheer weirdness.
>>
You finish another mouthful of beer.

The fire roars on.

Sogeking raises a hand. "Uh, what?"

"What what?"

"Yes," Nico butts in, sounding tired. "He killed two Priests in one hit each."

Conis and her father look awestruck as she continues to go into more detailed descriptions of the encounters; the rest seem torn between cheering and uncertainty over actually killing your enemies, which seems excessively naive. How long do they expect to last in the Grand Line like this? Plus Strawbrat seems overly fixated on the fact you killed the first one with a cannonball, and keeps shooting you worried looks after confirming it.

Lolonoa, for some reason, just looks utterly smug, right up until Cheapshot starts teasing him for being in the only group not to take down a priest. Then it breaks out into an impromptu fight, with the audience seemingly having no problem with two of their crew apparently trying to murder each other, and instead laughing and egging them on.

You keep drinking.

Somewhere between the fifth song of the night, and Strawhat's impression of Crocodile, you find yourself ending up next to Zolo - no, no, ZORO, gotta make sure to get his name right. You're a sneaky stealthy spy. Shhhhh.

"You know, I told ROBIN to protect everyone, not you," Lolonoa casually says as you slump down near him, another beer in your hand, taking a break from the wild laughter of the main group.

I feel like Zoro doesn't hold a grudge like most of the Strawhats, judging by his actions in the last couple of threads he probably doesn't really trust us, but he probably at least respects our dedication and us taking care of our weapons. Plus we also let hom and the others know about the potential danger to Merry, who the crew also sees as one of their nakama. I honestly wonder what the rest of the crew tginksof Flashman after Zoro eventually gives up the game, hopefully after we've reunited with PapaSmo.

I mean, to be fair even Sabo didn't know Sabo was alive. He was dealing with his massive amnesia that didn't dramatically fix itself until one of them was already dead.

I've mentioned it before, but one of my faviourite moments in the most popular One Piece fanfic "This Bites" Is how in that one really fucked up movie, seeing luffy get hit by a million arrows was enough to break his amnesia early.
>>3494318
I mean, from his get up, I always assumed that up until he went full badass in Dressrosa, he was more sneak orientated.

>>
>>3494436
>>3494439
>>3494447
Oh, for - as I have already said, many times, Ka-tan isn't recognisable when sheathed because she's a standard Marine katana that some pirates use after taking them from dead Marines anyway. I've previously said that if you FOUGHT with her then it'd be an issue because he'd recognise your fighting style, but keeping her sheathed is fine.

You've been wearing her throughout Mocktown and then continued carrying her when you woke up on the Sunny. When you got kidnapped by shrimp and Zoro wanted helping fighting the sky-sharks, he specifically pointed out your katana and asked for help.

You've had it on for ages. And no, that's not why he recognised you.

"I can cut metal, which is like, the most basic skill for a swordsman. So I guess I know the basics." Or so sayeth Klaus. Ugh. You can't believe you actually kind of miss him. Jerk.

"That Sogeking guy said you were already part of a crew huh?" He grins, almost wickedly, passing you another beer to replace your now empty one. "What are they like, then?

Uh - think, Flashy, think! "My crew are kind of... not as lunatic as yours. But still lunatics. Except for my Captain, he's not weird at all." Are you talking about Curly or Smoboss? You're not even sure. The beer in your stomach is warm and delicious, and making you pleasantly dizzy.

Lolonoa nods anyway. "And they're into killing, huh? Sounds like you have a ruthless bunch of guys there." He doesn't sound judgemental, but you leap to defend anyway.

"No, no, my Captain is really good at tak- leaving enemies alive! Usually! Just, you know, we don't go out of our way to do it? Plus... some people just don't deserve to live."

Lolonoa gives a thoughtful noise as he drinks. The other Strawhats have broken out into a sea shanty, which makes little sense, as they're currently in the sky. "Can't say I disagree. Still, my Captain and most of the crew are... more opposed to that kind of thing than I am." His gaze drifts over to linger on your sword. "But a lot of people DON'T deserve to die. I mean, I don't think I'd call our own crew monsters, right?"

You try to fumble your thoughts into some semblance of sense, but he's already talking again, so you keep drinking instead. "This one guy... he did something pretty bad to me. Everyone expects me to be pissed off about it, but... I think it'll be a good thing in the end."

Ohhhh? "What'd he do?"

Lolonoa smirks, slow and wide. "He stole my sword."

Oh shit that's totally you oh shit

Well, technically we confiscated it and made sure it was in safest hands possible(because Tashi wouldn't dare to let anything happen to it).
Its just that after he was broken out, Zoro didn't really have a way to get(read:steal) it back from our hands.

Fuck it, I need an early night.

Sorry guys, Zolo's hammed-up, angsty backstory will appear tomorrow.

And just so you know, the reason you first pinged him as 'heeeeey wait a minute' was... your damn hands, stupidly enough. If you look at the Mysterious Hero pics, you'll see your disguise doesn't use gloves. Which means to a guy like Zoro who pays close attention to, say, the hands holding some swords that are about to be used on him (and the weird calluses resulting from training fifty types of weapons), it's not too hard to find them familiar later on.
After that tipped him off, the voice and blond hair kind of did the rest, along with all the other similarities.

Also Usopp is kind of terrified and in awe of his badass friend Arthur, so that's nice.

Zoro still thinks we're a princess.

>>3494722
>your damn hands, stupidly enough.
Kinda gay, but ok
>>
>>3494722
Son of a bitch. That pisses me off because I actually did some watch modeling some years back, and my boss talked about how hands can be just as recognizable and unique as faces.
>>
>>3494722
This exact damn thought ran through my damn head while I was mowing my yard earlier. The thought was that as a swordsman Zoro pays attention to people's hands to judge on whether or not they use swords.
>>
>>3494722
Zolo why you so smart? Clever move BP. I'm expecting maximum ham. My body is ready.
>>
>>3494830
Because Early One Piece Zolo was easily the most worldly and common sense filled member of the team. (Except when it came to directions)

I mean shit, look at Water 7 when he had THE TALK with Luffy about what it means to be captain during Usopps whole rebellion thing.

Zoro isn't super smart though. Nami and Robin are the smart members of the team. He's just very observant, practical and level-headed.
>>
>>3494880
He's basically low Int, high Wis

Also read a theory that the reason Zoro never uses stairs specifically was because Kuina got stair'd and well now he thinks stairs are out to kill him

Alright AU idea.
Flash is a cop going undercover in the street race scene, trying to work his way into the strawhat gang. Of course it's not that easy, they all treat each other like ~~Familly~~ Nakama.

Eventually he's able to join, but he's in too deep, and the cops betray him.

Then eventually they fight a nuclear submarine.

We can call it... The Flash and Furious.
>>
>>3496021
Not going to lie, I have an irrational hatred of the way nakama has been misrepresented and romanticised by early scanlation groups.

It's not some magical fucking word that doesn't properly translate for "Friends closer than family", it litterally just means people of the same group as you. Comrade is a more than apt translation. Hell, it's used to describe coworkers and has no implication of any sort of special bond.

In Japanese, they don’t say ‘I have a horrible, terrible, bad, no-good’ idea, they say ‘I wonder what would happen if Flashy was present for Aokiji’s appearance’, and I think that’s beautiful.

Hm. I don't think electricity would do much at all against ice. So a hypothetical confrontation between Aokiji and lightning-powered Flashy would delve into a staring contest, methinks.

Admirals need to know Haki to reach that rank, so he'd just stomp us in melee combat since we couldn't retaliate.

>hands
Trust me, I did a couple of forms of weapons combat for several years, and even with gloves, your hands adapt very quickly (and painfully, before the calluses start properly building up). For Flashy, who normally trains everyday and has a variety of weapons, if someone knowledgeable looked at his hands, they'd be able to see he was mostly a swordsman and had some other weird stuff going on besides. Depending on your grip (if you use swords, staffs, etc), your muscles and tendons also change in certain ways to allow you more flexibility/grip-strength, which is slower but less painful, so hurrah.
Also Flashy has six fingers on each hand. And no thumbs.

>muh sword

What.

You frown into your beer, not quite willing to look at the lunatic in case the reminder of you makes him pick up on any familiarity. "Were you... not attached to it? To be honest... if something happened to my weapons, I'd be furious."

Backstabber Zolo gives a lazy shrug. "Don't get me wrong; Wado Ichimonji is more important to me than a lot of things. More important than my life, even. But I'm going to get it back, so why worry about a little separation, when I know it's safe?"

You frown even damn harder. "Safe? When it was... stolen... by this guy? He could have - have sold it, or something!" You have it to Tashigi! It's not like you even have it any more!

"Nah. He's a swordsman too, he wouldn't give Wado up so easy."

YOU LITERALLY DID JUST THAT.

"In fact," Zolo continues, sounding weirdly cheery, "I consider it something of a challenge to get my sword back, because I'll have to beat that guy to get to it."

NO, YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE WADO ANY MORE. HE'S TOTALLY WRONG.

"We're about the same level of skill," he says, while you down the rest of your bottle to try and avoid twitching violently, "but he's a fast-learner, so that means I have to up my training even more to surpass him. It was my fault I lost Wado in the first place, so I'll just have to suck it up and earn it back like a man."

ARE YOU ACTUALLY THE DUMBEST PERSON ON THE PLANET, LOLONOA ZOLO?!

"'K," you comment, opening a new beer.

"And that's why I've decided that on my way to the top, guy is going to be my rival," he finishes blandly.

>(CHOKE ON BEER)
>What?! You can't just decide that by yourself!

You try to swallow all the beer at once, via the expedient shortcut of swallowing the bottle, while simultaneously spraying out what's already in your mouth.

It ends up with you choking on your beer in wild panic and confusion, dropping the bottle so you can repeatedly slam a fist into your chest, sputtering and coughing the whole while.

Zolo waits patiently for you finish, taking amother sip of his own drink, smiling faintly.

AAAASSSSSSSSHOLLLLLE.

"Wha-wh-WHAT?!" You can finally breathe again, even if your voice comes out in a hoarse wheeze. "A rival?! Why?!"

"Like I said, he's a fast-learner, so he won't hold me back," Zolo explains patiently, "He's skilled, a good mix of honorable and sneaky that'll keep me on my toes, and most importantly..."

You lean in closer. Then back again, in case he recognizes your face. "Yeah?"

"Really convenient. His crew keep coming after us."

You scowl. "How is being chased by Marines convenient?!"

"Oh? Did I say he was a Marine?"

SHIT. "Y-yeah, a while back. I'm pretty sure." QUICK, DISTRACT HIM. "So, um, calling someone your rival. Is that like - getting permanent dibs on them?"

Zolo pauses drinking to stare at you, face expressionless. "... Yes."

"Ahahaha, cool, just checking." That wasn't a weird question, right? More importantly, does that give you permanent dibs on Lolonoa? Will Tashigi accept that? You don't remember anything in the regulations about this...

"My sensei always told me that rivals help push you further than you could get on your own," Lolonoa goes on, despite tour important thoughts regarding the sovereignty of dibs. "That they're a great measuring stick for your skills. And he was right - the only other rival I've had before..." His eyes narrow, glaring down at his own beer. "I'd never have got as far as I have, without her beating my ass and pushing me onwards."

>we're gonna need more booze

You frantically motion him to pause. "Whoah, wait, is this angsty, drunken backstory time?"

"I." He stops, glares at you a little, and slumps. "It's not... ANGSTY."

You cock your head and eye him judgingly.

"... It's a little angsty."

"Yeah, I need more booze for this." You increase your drinking speed to Klaus levels, and hope you don't die. "Go on, hit me."

"Maybe later," Zolo mutters, then clears his throat. "Right so... my previous rival. My childhood friend. My sensei's daughter."

"All walked into a bar?"

"Stop. Talking."

You innocently block your mouth with the spout of your latest rum bottle.

"SO. Her name was Kuina..."

And then he lays it all out; the girl he sparred with, fought against, over and over. The girl he lost to, every single time. A prodigy of the sword, even when he picked up another sword against her, even when he tried three.

The girl who was furious and bitter that she could never win her father's respect. The girl who told Zolo that would one day beat her by virtue of being a boy.

The girl who--

Wait, she fell down the fucking STAIRS?!

Is - that a euphemism? Did she kill herself, and Zolo was too young to be told the truth? Or did she really fall down some stairs? Seriously? What kind of bullshit out-of-nowhere death is that?!

You stare at him, trying to puzzle it out.

"- and that's why I'm going to take Wado to the top, as the greatest swordsman in the world," Zolo finishes seriously, eyes locked onto you.

"... stairs..." you whisper.

"Huh?"

"Ah! I was just...!" You look away quickly, ducking your head. "That's... that's...

Honestly, I always thought it was just falling down some damn stairs. I don't think Oda put too much thought into that death, or maybe making her ill would have been too similar to Usopp's mum, etc. The suicide theory is certainly interesting though.

I also think Smoker set off the rain powder in Alabasta; although that's terribly illegal, so he absolutely didn't do it in this quest, nuh-uh, no way. Shhhhh.

>>3496656
This quest is about adopting shitloads of family. There will likely be angsty stuff and I'm not saying it'll be easy, but only fun bullying allowed.

>>3496658
Awful, I love it.

By the way...

Umh.
I don't know, but if we (eventually) recount to Tashigi the whole rival thing, would she give up the wado? The Swordsman honor™ is strong in that one.
...would we?

eh, if he straight up beat us maybe.
>>
>i- It's not like i respect your goal or anything, b-baka!

"- a noble goal..." You trail off, lost in thought as you turn from confusion over the true cause of this Kuina girl's death - and damn, you'd have loved to fight her if she'd lived - to what the hell you're supposed to do now.

Because it turns out that Wado Ichimonji isnt just some sword Zor- ZOLO picked up in a shop or off some bounty. It's the sword given to him by his teacher as a legacy of his best friend. His first rival. The sword he swore to reach the very summit of swordsmanship with.

And you gave it to Tashigi so she could pass it on to a 'worthy' owner. Crap, she might even have passed it over to HQ already.

You swallow hard, a sudden chill washing over you despite the still happily roaring bonfire, and the background whoops of dancing Strawhats.

Oh, motherfuckeeeeeeeeerrrrr.

"Hmmm?" You flinch, glancing up again at the realization that Zoro is- no, Zolo, is watching you, looking oddly smug. "A noble goal, huh?" Man, this guy really likes to be complimented, huh?

You scowl. "More noble than most pirates, not that the bar's high. And I would know, being a pirate and all."

Zoro nods knowingly, still smug as he takes another drink. "Right, right. So tell me - what's your dream, Arthur?"

There's a teasing lilt on the 'Arthur' that kind of pisses you off. Like he doesn't think your ambition will match up to his own.

>Dream???? (You can lie or refuse to answer, if you want.)


I'm sure the viewers must have figured you out by now. Unless this will only be a flashback scene later.

Poor Zoro, thinking he's bonding with his sworn rival, while Flashy just thinks he's a drunken oversharer.
>>
>>3496699
Seriously? Well I'll be damned. That's certainly way different than I thought. I thought Oda was being literal. If that's what he meant then Zoro's backstory is not nearly as dumb as I thought. Poor Kuina...
>>
>>3496734
...DO we have a dream?
>>
>>3496734

>>
>>3496734

>>
>>3496734
>to find out who my father was
>also I guess my mother as well.
>>
>>3496737
Anons did discuss it before and it was generally decided that you want to keep your 'family' safe and happy, and maybe see the world.

But you might want to tell Zoro something different, seeing as you think he thinks you're Arthur. As a wild example, you could decide to bullshit him that you also want to become the strongest swordsman in the world.

Anons can you read. I said our dream is family, and I would also crusade against those who would make us abandon justice with the marines. The problem with us saying family is our dream is Lolonoa is gonna go on a spiel about how the strawhats are family, and then a few anons are gonna want to join up, which is fucking stupid.

Having a family, a home, with a candy store near, and a bar, and an armory (then think about finding your biological family, it's time for Flashy to dig a little in his past)

>>usopp so happy with his friendo
Don't be silly. Usopp never reached Skypeia; surely he must have died with all the other pirates in Smoboss's rampage.
At least his friends Sniper King and Arthur are here to carry on his memory.

>>3496798
Captain Usopp is and incredibly skilled man, we'll surely hear about him again.

It's like you don't want to see Zoro with a bowl-cut! But why not?!

>

If someone had told.you a few days ago that you'd be having a heart-to-heart with Roronoa Zoro, you'd have escorted them to a hospital to have their head checked. Of course, you never thought you'd be up in the sky, either. Or throwing a cannonball through some dude's head.

You can't NOT give him an honest answer, can you? And you're just drunk enough that the idea of opening your mouth and saying something you'd be embarrassed to tell even Smoboss is... not so bad, right now.

You look back down at your bottle, fingers picking at the label. "I want a family." Your words are simple. "I think I've made some headway with it though. So now I just need to keep them, whatever it takes." You shrug. "Not as noble as yours, I guess."

Zoro is silent for a minute. Your Haki isn't on, so you don't know what he's feeling, but you can almost feel him thinking. "Nah," he says finally. "That's a good dream. Just need to be strong enough to look after them."

And not let them near stairs, you don't say.

You laugh anyway, maybe a little bitterly, because how the hell are you supposed to protect Smoboss? Or Klaus? Everyone else is... maybe plausible, but if someone comes along to kill one of your stronger family, what are YOU supposed to do? Nothing. You're an ant to someone who can thrash Smoboss.

Flashman's patying dynamic so far
>>
>they can rebuild you, vegapunk has the technology

Your hand tightens on the bottle, label mostly peeled away. "They call the first half of the Grand Line 'Paradise', and that has enough monsters. It's just going to get more dangerous." You're speaking more to yourself now, even though you're aware of Zoro still listening. "I need to get better. Faster."

You feel him shift beside you, and look up to see him grimacing. "Yeah. Me too. So..." He pauses, as if rolling a thought around, fingers tapping against his sword-hilts. "Do you know... how to widen a blade's cut?"

... What?

Even with most of your face hidden, your confusion must be obvious. "Widening your blade's cut. It's a way to - look, say your blade is two feet long, yeah? But you want to slash through something that's three or four feet deep, and you don't have the opportunity to just... saw through it all. It's not a flying slash like Mihawk does, but it's still useful."

"Oh. That's... no. I dunno how to do that." Klaus probably intends to teach you. Eventually.

Zoro drops his chin into his cupped palm, staring at you. "Wanna learn?"

>Yesssssssss~
>... Just like that? That's too much to just give me.
>Why?
>Other?

You know when a swordsman chops through something that the blade should only have reached halfway through, but it somehow still gets sliced in half? This is that.

I always figured that was the same basic principle as rankyaku, just with a sword; cut fast enough that the shockwave extends the cut past the blade.

"What's that?"

You give a small hiccup by accident, before placing a finger to your lips. "Super-secret technique. Hush-hush. Shhhhhh."

Zoro's lip twitches into a smirk. "Gotcha." Then he stands up, steadier than you as you follow him. "C'mon, let's go a little further."

>45 + 13 combat teaching = 58

The pair of you wander further into the forest - not too far to be a danger - where Zoro demonstrates his own technique by slicing halfway through a tree-trunk, and somehow having it cut through completely.

You might drool a little.

Then he explains it - the short slash needed beforehand to direct the wind at sufficient speed, the odd push needed out from the hand, through the sword and the target - and has you try.

It's not well-lit here, and you're just mimicking his motions (plus you're well on your way to sloshed), so you don't feel worried about unsheathing Ka-tan.

Then you try it yourself.

Hold her - angle her and yourself - judge the speed depth - SWING

(Gained superior cutting technique, can be used in the same strike as metal-cutting! Metal Cutting increased to B.8! Swordsmanship +2! Ka-tan Awakening +1!)

"... Okay, you picked that up faster than I expected," Zoro allows, after you cut a tree down after barely letting Ka-tan' s blade enter.

Teaching Kami-e goes slower. Maybe because it's not a sword technique. Maybe because you're drunk. In any case, Roronoa gets the theory settled, and managed to awkwardly succeed a couple of times, which he declares as good enough for tonight.

The party's settled down to something quieter and more restrained when the two of you finally rejoin everyone, and Strawbrat grins as he sees the two of you, waving his own tankard of.. something alcoholic.

"Hey, hey, Art-guy, sit over here!" He pats the ground beside him. "I need to ask you some stuff!

I haven’t had a taco in years...

>i guess he’s strawguy now

“Sure, what do you need, Strawguy?” You settle down next to him, thoughts a lazy, sluggish whirl.

He stares up at you (yaaaay, shorter than you), while you keep drinking, face turning a little more serious. “Sogeking said Garp blew up your ship, right?”

You should probably feel more worried about this question, but you’re not sure why. Oh well. “Yep. It sucked,” you add, because you should probably feel some emotion over it, right? Right.

He nods slowly, eyes still wide and fixed on you. “You’ve heard of Ace? Firefist Ace?”

“Yeeeeeaaahhhh......” Unfortunately.

“Did you see him with Gr- Garp?”

You lick your lips, distant warning signals finally going off. “No? I mean - I dunno, it was kind of a rush. He was, um, throwing the, uh, cannonballs from... from pretty far, y’know?”

Strawhat ducks his head, drawing in on himself. “Maybe he wasn’t there, then.”

HELP. DISTRACTION NEEDED. HELP. “Uh, maybe? I mean, I heard he became a Shichibukai, but I’ve only seen him in the papers.”

“Yeah.” Strawhat huffs a sigh, looking up again. “He really wasn’t happy about it.”

You try to keep your eyes from looking shifty, and make sure your collar isn’t pushed down too far by the bottle as you take another mouthful while trying to come up with a sensible, non-suspicious response, “You know him?”

“Mm-hm. He’s my big brother!”

You try to plaster an appropriate look of shock on. “Shoah! Your brother! No way! That’s such a surprise!” HA, PERFECT. GOT ‘IM!

“Really? Why?”

SHIT, HE’S GOT YOU INSTEAD. “Ah- ah- I... he just. He’s so... much... taller? And. Um. Abs?”

Strawhat’s head tilts. “Huh?”

Shut up, rum! “I meant... he’s got a different build?”

Strawhat beams wide, letting out that shishishi laugh of his, as he flexes his arm. It does... pretty much nothing. “That’s because I’m a rubber-man! My muscles don’t work like his.”

“And you’re short,” you point out, because what little you had of a brain-to-mouth filter is finally gone.

“Nah, everyone else is just big.”

... Finally, Strawhat is talking sense. He’s totally right. Everyone else is just too damn tall. Those assholes. How dare they?!

“That’s so true,” you tell him, earnest. “Why do people have to grow that much?! It’s not right!”

“Bigger targets are good,” Strawhat argues, partly muffled thanks to the long strip of weird-local-beast meat he’s shoving down his throat. “Does it matter?”

“N-no...”

>It’s just annoying when the rest of your... family is bigger, is all.
>I don’t care at all! So, uh, what’s up with the Shichibukai thing, then?

>ultimate topic-change technique! go!

“I don’t care at all! So, uh, what’s up with the Shichibukai thing, then?”

The smile flips into a strange expression, half simmering frustration, half tired determination. “He did it to protect me,” he says simply, reaching up to touch the band of his hat in an unconscious gesture. “Because he’s stupid.”

...... Yeah, you dunno what to say to that. Um. “Stupid?”

Strawhat shrugs, all humour vanished. “It doesn’t matter. I’m gonna fix it.”

That sounds... really not good. “That’s kind of - I mean, would he want you to?”

“No, but I’m gonna do it anyway.”

Well, fuck. “How?”

“Dunno. But if they don’t have Shichipeople any more, they won’t need Ace, will they?”

Logically... no? You think? Your head’s not very clear. “I guess not? But the Government - I mean, you can’t stop them having Shicihibukai, it... it doesn’t work like that.”

“Why not?”

“Because that’s not how it works!”

Strawhat crosses his arms, turning to scowl at you. “So?”

Crap, he’s got you there. “Um. Ask me again when I’m sober.” It’s probably not a big deal. Distract. “So. Firepl- Firefist is your brother, huh? Two pirates in the family. Your parents must be -“ Proud? Horrified? “- something.” Shit.

He laughs again, because apparently emotional flip-flopping is normal with this guy, “It’s good, right?” No.

“Yeah, sure. Most people wouldn’t think of it as a family thing, though.” Unless you’re a Whitebeard or Big Mom pirate, you guess.

Strawhat shrugs, which is a weirdly flexible motion when you’re made of rubber, and no then proceeds to stick a finger up his nose. Great. As least he’s only lit by the flickering firelight, so you don’t have to see details. “We both wanted to be free.” Gee, that turned out well. “Pirates are the free-est people in the world.”

You’d dispute that, not least because you’re pretty sure ‘free-est’ isn’t a word. “Are they?” It slips out of your stupid, drunken mouth before you can stop yourself, and you rush to cover it. “I mean, us pirates, how many are really free? Of, um, obligations to... people.”

Genius.

“Like who?”

“You feel obliged to your brother, right? And your crew?”

He cocks his head, fixing you with a despairing look. “Yeah, he’s my brother, and they’re my crew. Are you stupid?”

... Apparently so, for talking to this guy. “Never mind. I’m just... way too drunk for this.” It’s like every way you try to push the conversation, he throws up dead-ends. Or cliffs to throw yourself off.

Strawhat collapses back on the ground, staring up at the night-sky visible through cracks in the tree canopy, relaxed once more. “You’re really weird, Art-guy.”

...

>Pot. Kettle.
>Your entire crew is weird, Strawguy.
>I’m totally normal. My friends are normal. My family’s normal. All normal here.
>Other?

This absolute brat... "Pot. Kettle."

"Huh? What do they have to do with anything?"

"I'm saying a weird guy like you has no right to call ME weird!"

"That's got nothing to do with po-"

You'd reach out and cover his mouth, but you're honestly concerned he might think your hand's a delicious, meaty snack. Plus, with how much you're drinking, there's a good chance you'll miss and end up poking him in the eye or something. Although to be fair, that sounds good too.

Instead, you go with your standard Flashman Style: Deflection Technique.

>>3498326
Well, technically you have seastone cuffs back on the White Mist, which you 'conveniently forgot' to hand in and Smoboss conveniently forgot to remind you and Tashigi about. But at your current rank, extremely hard. You could buy your own, like Smoker did for his jitte, but that's seriously expensive. Depends how much you want.

>that sibling thing

"You must be close with your brother, huh?"

At this angle, you can't rightly see the expression on Strawbrat's face. "Yeah. Alabasta was the first time I'd seen him in years, but..." He trails off.

"But?"

Forget seeing his face. You can hear the smile on his voice. "It was like he'd never left! Even if he did ask us to join his old man's crew."

You manage not to choke at THAT one purely because you weren't drinking at the time. "S-seriously?"

"Yup! Obviously we wouldn't, because I'm gonna be the Pirate King, but still. Ace is a really great guy."

Ah, yeah... a great guy... who burned your name into a floor... as a death threat...

Really. Great. Yippee.

Yes. To all of it. Ever since I realized we were going to Skypeia, I've been giggling like a moron over how great Goro Goro is. Everything that could be done with it by someone half competent, instead of a moron with a god complex who's answer to everything is 'five hundred million volts thanks bye'.
>>
>must acquire hat, sunglasses and fop as brothers

"What's it like," you ask, almost tentatively, "having a brother?"

"Mmm... it's like..." Strawbrat flops out more, sighing. "Knowing there's always someone there for you. Someone who has your back, and makes you happy, and listens to you. Someone who tells you when you're doing something wrong or dumb. And they're fun to fight, and sometimes they share their meat with you, and even when they're a jerk you know they care."

Wow. It sounds like you have a lot of brothers, and some of them are girls. Tashigi and Mina sure are happy to point out when you're being a dumbass, even if they've never shared their meat with you.

... Actually, maybe that's a dumbass pirate thing.

>It sounds nice - and like a lot of work.

>I have two... sisters... I guess it's mostly the same with them.
>>
>the viewers must be getting a shocking (ha) view into flashy's life

"I have two... sisters... I guess it's mostly the same with them." There it is. You've never said it out loud before, barely even let yourself think it, but alcohol and tomorrow's upcoming fight, and Strawhat Luffy's openness has loosened your tongue and your brain. Family. Sisters. Tashigi and Mina. And Smoboss and Klaus, your... yeah. Fuck. Your dads.

They're absolutely your dads. The one you always wanted, except you somehow have TWO of them, not that you're complaining. And not that you'll ever, EVER admit it to them, on pain of hideous torture and death. But - they care about you, you know that much, so you ignore the sudden wrenching in your stomach and accept it. You're... really lucky. You could have had no-one at all.

"I don't have any sisters," Strawbrat muses. "Not that I know about." ... Isn't that the kind of thing you SHOULD know about? Although you suppose you might have a - aNOTHER sibling out there too. Maybe a wanted one. "Are they older than you?"

"No," you answer immediately. "They're both younger than me. By a lot. One of them's small and cute, and the other is... handsome."

"Handsome?"

"Yes. Really... rugged."

"Sounds ugly."

>I just said, she's handsome! The most handsome in the Grand Line!
>Hey, only I get to insult T- my sister! I mean, and our... dad, I guess.
>Yes, the worst.

>she so manly

"Yes," you say, keeping your face straight. "The worst. She's like... the opposite of an okama."

"Pretty?" Strawbrat looks confused, which makes sense, because he's apparently in a permanent state of confusion. "But you just said she's handsome. And ugly."

"She- never mind. Just... she's handsome for a guy, and ugly for a girl. And has way too much stubble."

"Yup, sounds ugly."

"Whereas I'm just handsome."

Even in the bad lighting, you can see Strawbrat shift to give you a disbelieving look.

"A-anyway! My other sister's cute! She definitely won't grow up handsome at all!"

"So she'll grow up ugly...? That doesn't sound like something to brag about."

You bristle furiously. "I didn't say that at all!! Don't twist shit around! She's as cute as our other sister is handsome!"

"Oh, I get it!" His enlightenment is clear. "So you're the ugly one?"

.... You don't know if that's better or worse than being called prettyboy. Admittedly, Strawhat can't actually see your face well, but still. You've got enough visible that no-one would call you ugly, right? Right?

"I already said I was handsome, dammit! "

"Eh? They why d'you cover your face?"

>Because it means I can walk around in different clothes, and no-one will recognize me.

>we still haven't reached luffy's misunderstanding, but i'll fit it in somehow, so here goes

"... Because it makes me look cool and mysterious."

You stare at him.

He stares at you.

You keep staring.

Strawhat's gaze darts away from you, face pinched. "Yeah... Art-guy's cool..."

"Hey, why are you looking away? I AM cool, right?!"

"Yeah... sure..."

"LOOK AT ME, DAMMIT! You just don't know what cool is!"

"Ah, but I still wouldn't know what cool was if I looked at you..."

You awkwardly fling yourself at the rubber shit-face, realize halfway through that you angled wrong, and topple onto the ground instead, next to the growing pile of bottles. "... Fuck."

"... so mysterious..."

"SHUT THE HELL UP!!"

"shishishishishi~!"

The second you regain motor control, you're gonna punch him.

"You!" You point a wobbly finger in what you're fairly sure is the right direction. "You're lucky my dads aren't here, or - or they'd kick your ass! Their livers are way stronger than mine!" And they wouldn't be drinking with him in the first place! So there!

Strawbrat's face mellows into confusion. "Dads? You have more than one?"

"Adopted, whatever." You wave that aside. "But one of them is - is a really great swordsman! The best! His liver is undefeatable! And his swordsmanship's pretty good too! He'd stab the crap outta you, and go for a nap after!"

"Ooh, that IS cool..."

"And - and my other dad..." Actually, Smoboss'd probably just slap him with the seastone jitte and arrest him. That's not really scary, is it? You don't think? "He'd... uh... well." THINK, FLASHY. "Smoke at you... a lot."

"......"

You give up. "... While beating the shit out of you."

"Nah."

"Yeah, he would!"

"He couldn't beat me," Strawhat explains, as if to an idiot. "I'm gonna be Pirate King, I won't lose to some random old guy."

HOW DARE HE. "S- He isn't random! Or old! He's stronger than - than you and your brother put together! And his liver is, too!"

"My liver's the strongest!"

"You wouldn't even know where to FIND your liver!"

"Yeah, I do! It's in your chest, 'cause it's what makes you live! Stupid!"

"YOU'RE stupid, that's not how it works!"

"That's not how YOU work!"

You throw a bottle at him, which hits, and promptly bounces off.

"... Ah... Art-guy's ugly AND uncool..."

Somewhere in the middle of repeated swearing and commando-crawling over to stab him, you pass out. It's probably for the best.

>You're woken the next morning by... (which Strawhat?)


Going to bed now I've laid the terrible seeds of assumptions. Good night, and thanks for playing!

To be fair, I don't think I can have Sanji become convinced you're his son from the future. Luffy, sure, Usopp and Chopper, maybe, but Sanji? ... Hilarious, but unlikely.

Calling for Sanji at 10 votes... I'd like to do a new post but currently can't, so that'll be done later. Continuing in this thread for now.

>74 ouchies

There's a godawful noise that sounds like cannons going off in quick succession. It turns out to be some jackass rapping on the cabin door, ignoring the fact that you are, in point of fact, dead.

Or at least, you wish you were.

Pink Flamingoes never betrayed you like this.

You drag yourself off the bed (how did you even get here?) and mimic Mr Speedy in your slow crawl over to the door.

You rouse all your eloquence while tugging the door open, squinting at the asshole. "Ngah?"

Sanj- Cheapshot looks back, bright-eyed, bushy-tailed and already smoking. "Oh, good, you're alive. You can't really hold your liquor, can you?"

You'd comment on the shit you saw him doing last night to try and impress the women, but that probably had less to do with drinking and more to do with being him, so you settle for a glare.

"Hey, no need for that kind of look! I'll trade you one of my hangover cures for a little help in the kitchen?"

You perk up. And then sideways, before you regain your balance. It's... it's 6am. When did you get to sleep? Gah. Who cares. You want your head fixed. "Ngh?"

Sanji shrugs. "You and Kohza are the only guys on board I trust not to trash my kitchen, and Kohza couldn't cook to save his life, shitty-guest. So get cleaned up and help me make the ladies' breakfast, yeah?"

You squint at him, head throbbing something awful.

"... Oh, yeah, for the guys too, if there's anything left over." He flicks the now-butt of the cigarette overboard without even looking, turning to leave. "I'll be starting soon, so hurry up and get ready!" He's way too cheerful for this hour.

".... ghhh." You topple half-over, kick the door shut, and start dragging yourself towards the shower.

Mr Speedy, watching from the table, shakes his tiny head in disgust.

By the time you get to the galley, damp hair shoved under your cap, most of the ingredients for what looks like far too much food is being laid out.

"Oh, good, you're here." He doesn't look up, too busy measuring out cups of rice. "We've got breakfast and bento boxes to make, so let's get st-"

Then he pauses, because maybe your groan was a little TOO loud. "... Hangover, right. Okay, I'll show you how to make that first."

>Roll 3d100, best of 3.
Hangover cure, breakfast, bento boxes.
AND (put these in a separate vote from rolls if you want, rather than rolling late)
