You’re in the air, so even though it takes you by surprise, the rowboat glazing into sudden flames... doesn’t really affect you. Except for the extreme feeling of ‘WHAT THE FUCK’, naturally.

Turns out Fireplace was awake and aware enough to try and help out. Keyword being ‘try’, because having an arm fucked up, and then being half-drowned was apparently enough to throw his aim to shit.

“CINDERS, YOU LITTLE SHIT,” Klaus screams. You’re kind of proud of the way he actually still swims to grab hold of the highly-embarrassed dumbass though, instead of letting him drown. You won’t say ‘as he deserves’ because... you kind of blew up an even bigger ship earlier.

Regardless, everyone is overboard now, Hat having grabbed some flotsam, one arm ready with his sword, the others doing their best to tread water.

“SORRY,” Abs yells above all the waves and furious swearing of the pirate woman, as she tries and fails to grab her friend. Yeah, he’s... he’s pretty fucked. You’re pretty sure Klaus grabbed the bag and box though, so tough shit, pirates!

And now you really need to kill this bitch.

Sunglasses tries himself, but his blade rebounds instantly off the black sheen covering her, even as she kicked furiously in the water. “FUCKIN’ MARINE TRASH-“ she’s busy bellowing, among other exciting compliment, when you hurl down a bolt of electricity to finish her.

Or try to, anyway.

You hate Armament. At least when your enemies are using it.

You stop firing bolts, wary of your friends being too close to the bitch, aside from the fact they’re pretty much useless. How long can someone hold Armament for? You have... absolutely no idea. You only managed for a brief few seconds up on Skypiea, but now you can’t even activate it. This woman, presumable from the New World? Undoubtedly trained? You might be screwed.

Especially when she reaches below the water, and pulls up another dagger, this one smaller and thinner than the one she’d had earlier. A throwing blade? Fuck.

You ready yourself in case she coats it in Armament, still hovering (flying?) unsteadily, and -

She throws it at Klaus.

(96 + 130 - 20 = 206)

Who promptly raises a shortsword from his collection of blades, and bats it out of the air with absolute disinterest.

Well. Okay, then.

You can’t hear all that well when you’re electricity - sound is muffled, crackling, distant - but you can see well enough, so even as you throw a few careful bolts down again, mostly to distract her while you come up with a plan (although you have no idea WHAT plan could work), you still see as Klaus and Abs move.

Klaus raises his sword, a look of sheer frustrated annoyance on his face, and Fireplace raises a hand, looking tired and mildly pissed-off.

You’re pretty sure they’ve both had enough.

“You fuckers are all de-“ Pirate Asshole is mouthing off, hand reaching down (for another blade?), still covered in black, when Klaus slashes out, far too distant to hit her, and Fireplace—

Yikes.

The stream of fire that erupts from his palm blazes across to her, and you’re suddenly very curious as to whether Armament protects from heat. It certainly doesn’t remove your need to breathe.

She COULD duck under the water, you suppose, as you hurl more bolts of electricity at her, but the water’s boiling and bubbling around the edges of the inferno that roars around where she was, and the flames are only whipped into more of a fury by the invisible ripples of force that flash into and through them.

Because apparently Klaus can use air slashes like Zolo. That’s a thing now.

Somewhere about a quarter of a minute later later, as the three of you drop your attacks, Hat and Sunglasses staring with bulging eyes at the bloodied water and charred corpse, you add to your mental encyclopaedia the fact that even Armament can’t stand up to being in the middle of a small firestorm, having lightning strike you, and a bunch’a goddamn air-strikes slicing through what was probably your torso.

It’s probably been half a minute since you first flared up on the boat, so it makes sense that the first cannonball crashes in now, exploding into the water as a near miss.

Whoever’s on the ship... probably isn’t very happy.

>Roll 2d100 (that’s TWO dice), best of 3

>>3621582
Fireplace’s bonus is currently actually pretty low, his 100 versus her or 200 versus ship bonus is while he’s injured, affected by water, and trying to hold on to Klaus. Don’t pick a fight with a Whitebeard Commander when they’re NOT underestimating you or otherwise handicapped.

“Screw this,” Fireplace states, eyes narrowed and face drawn as he keeps his arm raised. “FIRE FIST.”

And then, in a conflagration far larger than when little miss pirate burned/suffocated/electrocuted/drowned, he sets the entire ship alight in a flaming explosion of splinters and screams.

You all stare at the blazing inferno.

“... So that was satisfying to see,” Klaus says, voice casual, “but we really could’ve used that ship.”

You spark in unhappy agreement from the air.

“Sorry, did you all want to die?” Abs turns an annoyed gaze on each of you in turn. “Because it looks like you guys would have got your asses kicked without me, even with Commander Doesn’t Know How To Use His Logia up there.”

... Rude.

(Goro Goro no Mi increased to D.4!)

“Yeeeeah, since when was aniki a logia?” Sunglasses squints up at you, his namesake askew, while the remaining shell of the Big Mom ship collapses in the distance. “Did I miss a memo?”

Klaus groans, eyeing the water like he’s considering drowning himself. “Aaaaall right, consider Prettyboy’s logia classified - and speaking of Prettyboy, zap yourself over there and see if there’s another boat or something, already. Hopefully the Heart pirates’ll spot us easier now, but we can’t tread water for hours.”

You’d say something witty and sarcastic, but you’re kind of lacking a mouth right now.

I’d like to take this moment to remind everyone that when you first rolled the Big Mom pirates, it came under ‘pirates - okay’ and not ‘pirates - bad’, which means you would have actually been perfectly fine and would have gained some handy intel if you’d let them take you aboard.

Instead, you’ve got a Devil Fruit, so I guess that’s okay too.

>>3621693
I did remember that, but since everyone else went for KIIILL, well... I guess it doesn't matter. The White Mist is gunna be like 80% Logias by the time we're done.

>>3621693
Yeah but Fireplace is with us so that wouldn't went well.

>>3621693
They had a Commander and a Shichibukai held hostage. Were they planning to just let us go?

>>3621693
It's the whole principle of NOT wanting to be kidnapped by pirates (again)

You spark your way over to the now wreck, still on fire - at least the parts out of the water. It... doesn’t look great.

Another smoldering chunk breaks off and collapses into the sea.

Yuuuuup.

Unfortunately, while you take the opportunity to fly around the whole thing - not that it’s all that big, probably only a crew of ten, max - you can’t really see anything better than a load of barrels and planks. Enough to hold onto while you wait for the Hearts, but not in great comfort.

It’s kind of been a shitty day all round, really. Although free Devil Fruit! Shame about your camera. And... nearly everything else.

Hopefully in all this mess, the fact the Skyrazor mysteriously blew up will be completely forgotten.

Within twenty minutes, you’re all situated mostly-safely on a roped-together raft of salvaged planks (thanks, Klaus and Sunglasses), sitting in an awkard silence.

“Soooooo,” drawls Hat. “Anyone got a pack of cards?”

No. No, no-one has a pack of damn cards.

>Forty minutes until Heart pirates arrive. What do?

>>3621705
While the Shichibukai would be useful, a Commander is pretty much beneath them (as long as they didn’t know about the Logia). They actually had a specific plot-related reason for being in the area, but now you don’t know what that reason was.
Basically, they didn’t give a shit about you beyond getting some information from you.

>ratty ratty

You spare a moment to check the bag that Klaus has handed back over to you - he's keeping the box himself, in one of the massive pockets of his longcoat.

Everything seems to be in order for the brib- uh, bag, but speaking of Klaus' ridiculous pockets...

"So, what's up with the rat?"

Klaus looks you dead in the eyes, as he continues scritching its little head where it's curled up on his lap. "What rat?"

"Klaus. None of us are blind."

"It's kind of cute," says Hat, because despite it trying to bite him when he attempted to poke it, he still looks like he wants to make another attempt. "You know, for disease-carrying vermin."

"You're disease-carrying vermin," Klaus mutters, before sighing. "Fine. Seeing as you're all nosy pains-in-the-asses, this is Gol D. Rodent."

Abs twitches magnificently. "What."

>That's treason.

>>3621904
Remember to archive last thread boss

>'one cheese', i love it

You lean forwards, intrigued. "Is he a pi-rat? Did he hide the One Cheese?"

Nearby, you see Abs rest his face in his palm, wincing. Poor guy must have a headache from all that being smacked around earlier. As for Klaus, his mouth twitches slightly. "Rodent is too young for any major lifestyle choices, so please don't try to arrest him."

"But petting is okay, right?" Hat really can't take the hint, even when it's already drawn blood from his finger.

"Respect his bodily autonomy, or he'll stab you."

You eye the lounging Rodent. "You mean YOU'LL stab him?"

"I meant what I said, Prettyboy."

"But why name him that?" Abs butts in, sounding oddly distraught. "Of all the names out there, you call it after that- Pirate King?"

Klaus shrugs, still scratching the bedraggled rat. "I like puns."

"Good reason," you enthusiastically agree, although you're still not sure why Klaus felt the need to acquire a rat in the first place. Or where from. Did he just... grab a random ship's rat? That seems unhygienic. What the hell else has he been doing? "Does Smoboss know about him?"

Klaus pulls a face. "Not yet. I'm waiting to see how far I can train 'im, first."

>Can I hold him? (Animal Handling roll)
>You don't like Gold Rogers, Fireplace? I'd have thought he'd be the pirate role model.
>It's a bad idea to feed him that Devil Fruit, isn't it.
>Other?

>>3621941
Klaus isn't actually your uncle. I think. That'd be TOO silly. Again, I think. Also, Rodent is a pet, not an adopted child, so isn't a proper D (sadly).

>>3621942

>>3621968
>You don't like Gold Rogers, Fireplace? I'd have thought he'd be the pirate role model.
I was going to vote for holding the rat, but realized that if we failed that roll the rat would likely bite us and we might accidentally shock it.
Then Klaus would have drowned us.

>>3621968
>>You don't like Gold Rogers, Fireplace? I'd have thought he'd be the pirate role model.
So he did teach the rat how to sword. Now we just need to unlock that weapon master style and we're set.

>>3621977
Aww, he likes you too much to drown you. Not that he'd ever admit it.
... If you electrocuted the rat though, your training would be Hell for quite a while.

>poke at abs' wound and pour salt in it

You look away from Rodent to Fireplace, who kind of appears to want to throw himself back in the ocean. "You don't like Gold Rogers, Fireplace? I'd have thought he'd be the pirate role model."

"He was a monster," Fireplace states, blunt and inflexible. Which is a little weird, because he's too young to have met the guy, which means this is either a Whitebeard-pirate-thing, or Rogers did something personal. Killed a family member? Grew a rockin' moustache that Abs has repeatedly failed to emulate? You don't know, but Fireplace seems pretty sure of his opinion.

Even so... "What about the One Piece? Not interested in that?"

Abs face twitches slightly, but stays at 'mildly annoyed'. "I DID intend to make Pops Pirate King, but that's kind of off the table now."

.... Yeah, maybe you shouldn't go there. Luckily, Hat gets his finger bitten by Rodent again, which is a convenient distraction, while he flails around and whines about rabies. Klaus just smirks.

>Keep talking about Gold Rogers? (What?)
>Discuss Devil Fruit? (What?)
>Cuddle Rodent and tell it you love it
>Other?
>>3622003
I don't think it is, but he's already accepted you give stupid nicknames to people (Lolonoa, Hat, Sunglasses, Smoboss) and has decided he can live with it as long as it's not something insulting. Plus he knows you saved his life, so he's simmered down a little. A teeeeny little.

"So," you quickly say, "we should probably figure out what to do with this Fruit. Sunglasses, you want it? It's either you or the mouse."

Klaus shoots you the most offended look you've ever received.

"Sorry, rat. I meant rat."

Klaus rolls his eyes. "You realize you're meant to hand in any Devil Fruits you find, right?"

"I'm guessing he kind of failed to do that with his Logia," Fireplace says, all innocent. You flip him off with equal demureness.

"I get that we're supposed to give them to HQ, but what if the Heart Pirates take it?" You try to sound worried as possible. "The only thing we can do is get it eaten as quickly as possible. Like, right now."

"You've got three Fruit users already on your ship," Abs points out; there's you and Smoboss, and you guess he's figured Hat's eaten one too. "How many do you even need?!"

You shrug. “How many do the stronger pirate crew have?”

“That depends on how big the crew is,” Abs says, reaching up to touch his injured arm. You’re not sure how much it hurts, but you’re pretty sure he’s the kinda guy that thinks admitting he’s in pain will lose him points or something. “But unless you’re planning on taking on an Emperor or something, does it even matter? You’re in Paradise, you don’t NEED that many Devil Fruits.”

“Just because you don’t need them, doesn’t mean they’re not nice to have,” Klaus points out, sounding like he doesn’t really care. “Although for future reference, we’re going to need to keep a better ratio of swimmers to Fruit users, because if I have to keep saving your dumb anchor asses, I’m just gonna let you drown.”

Sunglasses slumps, radiating guilt, while Hat pats his back sympathetically. You wince anlittle, reminded of just how close you repeatedly came to dying. “Yeah, thanks for the whole ‘saving our lives’ incidents, those were good of you.”

“You’re welcome, Prettyboy.” Klaus smiles, far too sweetly. “Anything to say, Cinders?”

Fireplace looks like he’s sucking on a lemon, but he doesn’t try to back out. “... Thank you. I appreciate not dying. And Commander Flashman, too.”

You wipe a mock-tear from your eye. “It’s all so touching!”

“You’re the one that’s touched,” Abs mutters, because apparently the moment has already passed. Considering the odd, long thing - seaking? - skimming the tops of the waves in the distance, approaching fast, you decide not to make a big deal of it.

"Dangerous thing approaching that's probably gonna knock us in the water. Again," you announce. You're a great early warning system.

"Ugggghhhh." With that cultured response, Fireplace lights his hand up and keeps an annoyed eye on the Mysterious Thing, apparently ready to shoot the shit out of it. With fire.

Klaus just closes his eyes, lifting and depositing Gol D Rodent (and what's up with the middle D? You thought it was funny for Noodle, but you're pretty sure Klaus doesn't have the same sense of humor) back into his pocket. "Your problem, I'm done for the day."

Understandable, but inaccurate. Still, the rest of you keep watchi- Wait.

"That's... a submarine..." Sunglasses adjusts his namesake, sounding disbelieving.

"I can still set it on fire," Abs casually volunteers, because he's apparently a raging pyromaniac. You're not actually sure he's being serious, but in the name of maybe not starting another damn fight with someone above your level, you decide refusal is the better part of not getting shot/stabbed/drowned.

"Yeah, no thanks. Let's wait for them to start something." That's definitely a submarine. A yellow one, with a long pole or... mast?... sticking up, though there's no sail attached.

"Rich traveller? Smuggler?"

"Bet it's pirates," Hat guesses, glum. "It's always the worst person it could be."

Theoretically speaking, I'm sure people must, because everyone knows what they are, and no-one acts like a submarine is something new and incredible. That said, they're probably a fairly recent development (a few decades max?), and you have to deal with seakings, potential leaks, fuelling issues, pressure, and all the general social, mental and hygiene issues of living in a tin can for periods of time.

So consider submarines very rare, but not unheard of. Most people have probably read about or seen pictures of them at least.

>>3628997
>Have Abs use FLARE
If the technology exists then there must be more. It's probably noy common due to a combination of costs and the presence of giant sea monsters.

"Screw this." You carefully rise to your feet, trying to keep balanced despite the waves. The cobbled-together raft isn't exactly sea-worthy, after all.

"Picking another fight, huh?"

You ignore Klaus' sarcasm as you start waving. "I'm either getting a rescue or we're claiming a submarine. Fireplace, don't blow it up unless you have to."

"We don't really have a lot of luck with transport, aniki," Hat points out, as the submarine turns and slows slightly, heading more in your direction now. Yeah, they've definitely seen you.

"It's fine, it's fine! This one won't blow up. Probably." ... You get the odd feeling that no-one believes you.

There IS a sail on the mast - but it's loose, all folded up, so you can't see if there's a jolly roger. That doesn't really matter though, because as it gets closer, some kind of hatch opens on top, and a man you recognize from the news and his bounty posters emerges, ever so casual as he stands there, slouched - hands tucked in the pockets of his coat, looking inordinately self-satisfied.

>ANIKI

Captain Trafalagar 'I Have a Submarine Because Fuck Logic' Law (and what kind of pirate is called Law? That's just stupid. He should have become a Marine for the puns) looks down on you both literally and metaphorically as his vessel slows. You can tell by the intense aura of smugness that surrounds him.

Jerk.

You're totally cooler than him. Maybe you're a little wet right now, but you've got the noble prince look going, AND a sweet uniform. What has he got? A bunch of tattoos that aren't a fraction as awesome as your own.

And a submarine.

.... Okay, that's pretty cool. And his sword. But you still have him beat!

Whatever. You take the opportunity to get the first word in. Or first yell, anyway. "What took you so long? We had to blow up another ship to get more wood to make a raft."

Trafalgar Lawless raises an eyebrow, still looking all slouchy and smug as his sub comes to a halt. "The famed Marine efficiency at work," he drawls, casting a laconic gaze over the still smoldering, slowly sinking remains. "Anyone I'd know?"

Pretty sure we take more after our mother looks wise. The only similarities to our father is that we're blond and have our father+uncle's very distinctive grins.

>>3629434
Our mom is just pink haired Saber with a penchant for sweets right? What would her candy name be? Arturia is obviously her fake name.

>>3629408
You take more after your mother. That said, you're obviously younger than when Law knew him, and you're much shorter, different eyes, slimmer and prettier in the face (eg you've got Arthur's chin, etc, while Rosi's jawline seems to be more defined), but I'd actually say you don't look very different from him? Hair-wise, Rosi and Arthur are pretty similar as well.

Of course, Rosi also wore makeup while undercover, so that does detract from the similarities.

No-one would look at you and straight-up see the family resemblance, but if prompted they'd definitely notice similatities.

"Some Big Mom pirates. Bit weird in Paradise."

That causes a flicker of genuine reaction in Lawless, as he pauses and switches back to watching you. "You killed a crew of Big Mom pirates, Mr Flashman? I can't say that sounds like a good decision."

"We like decisions that end up with us alive," Klaus butts in, sounding as annoyed as he looks. "Enough posturing, are we coming aboard or not?"

Lawless leans over the side of his submarine, apparently unaffected by a grouchy swordhobo. "You have my payment?"

You heft the bag of papers, high enough for him to get a good look at it, and he quirks a low-effort smirk in response. "Then welcome aboard, Marines and Mister Firefist." Yeah, he sounds real enthusiastic about it. Not. "We're just about to have lunch, and I'm one of the few surgeons to permit eating before your treatment."

Fireplace perks up way too happily at that, although having eaten nothing all day yourself, you can sympathize. Lawless, meanwhile, vanishes from sight - climbing back down into the submarine without even a by-your-leave. What a polite guy. Especially as all of you have still got to get across to the damn vessel. Dick.

"That guy is an asshole," Sunglasses announces, annoyed, while Hat just sighs and fixes his grip on his friend.

"Yeah, I noticed," you say, as your minions push themselves off and into the water, Sunglasses striking out towards the sub.

The three of you remaining look at each other. Awkwardly.

Klaus scowls. "... I have to carry both of you again, don't I?"

"You could do a trip with one of us, with them come back for the other?"

"Fuck no, once is enough." He stands up, somehow perfectly balances on the rickety assortment of crap, and motions you and Fireplace over. "Come on, dumbasses, let's get this over with."

"I'm reasonably certain he's willing to leave one of us here if we complain," you tell Abs, as he opens his mouth indignantly, and move yourself carefully over to Klaus. "Please be careful with Mr Speedy."

"He and Rodent are the only ones whose well-being I care about," Klaus solemnly assures you, as he grabs on to both you and Fireplace. "All right, try not to drown."

"Spoilsp-GAH, COLD!"

The climb up the side of the Whatever It's Called is cold, wet and frustrating. If you weren't already soaked in saltwater and then frozen solid, you would be just from this.

You kinda wanna stab Trafalgar in the face. Just a lot.

On the bright side, he's waiting in the interior as the rest of you pile inside, dripping and shivering, and it gets warmer as he reaches up and casually closes and tightens the hatch. A great deal warmer, actually. The place isn't exactly a furnace, but you're not gonna need your coat.

... Up close, Trafalgar has really nice hair beneath that weird hat. The asshole.

"Oh, you all made it. What a nice surprise." Trafalgar smiles far too pleasantly. "I'm afraid that your living arrangements had to be made rather hastily, so please don't expect luxury. The rest of you are welcome to go eat or clean up, but Mr Flashman and Mr Firefist will need to come with me."

Noooo, you want food! Food, dammit! "Fiiiiine, can I at least get something to eat or drink? Been one hell of a day."

"Same for me," Fireplace promptly jumps in, which is understandable, especially if he has the same appetite as his brother. Hopefully with better table manners, though.

Trafalgar eyes you both with the casual insouciance that you've decided is his schtick, and idly shrugs. "Sure. Barra, show the rest of them around, and get the galley to send some food to my medbay."

Oho! Sounds like he's gonna do SCIENCE! Which makes sense what with him being a doctor and all. Or surgeon. Actually, is he even qualified? Where did he study! Guy's kinda young...

"Gotcha, Cap'n," a boiler-suited pirate says, eyeing your group of newcomers with obvious interest. Do they know why you're all here?

And lo, thus it is that the party splits - your minions and Klaus follow pirate-mook ("I'll make sure these two don't do anything stupid," Klaus promises impolitely), while you and Abs are escorted by the fast-walking pirate-non-mook, Doctor Lawless. Or whatever.

"I want to check the payment first, then we'll give Mr Firefist a quick checkover," Lawless tells you, as the pair of you try to keep up with his quick strides. Especially you. Stupid long-legged people with their... height. Ugh. "If it all checks out, we'll get the surgery started as soon as possible."

"Any estimates on how long it'll take?" Fireplace doesn't sound any more enthusiastic about being here than you are, which is a little weird, considering he's also a pirate.

"Assuming no complications, you should be fine to leave in two or three days. I'll assume you're competent enough to complete your medication and attend follow-up consultations by yourself." Lawless looks over his shoulder, eyeing you. "Unless you need a Marine babysitter for that too."

At Fireplace's growing glare, you decide it's time to interrupt. "Unless there's an important medical reason for increasing his blood pressure, maaaaybe we could try to keep it professional?"

Fireplace gives you a look you recognize. It means, 'I've actually met you before and am fairly certain you've never been professional in your life'. As for Lawless, he just smirks, making a vagye noise of amusement, before looking back ahead. You're kind of disappointed he didn't walk into a wall.

>So, a submarine. That's... expensive?

Quick! A distraction from Abs getting tetchy and blowing shit up! "So, a submarine. That's... expensive? And shouldn't it technically be called a subpirate? Because you know, you're not actually Marines."

An intense and meaningful silence descends, as Lawless and Fireplace slow to a halt and turn to stare at you.

You stare back at them, eyes wide and innocent as you look at one and then the other blankly accusing faces. "... What?"

"The 'marine' in submarine is in reference to the sea, Mister Flashman," Lawless says, monotone. "Not to the naval forces."

It is too late, Law. Let the Flashman logic flow through you. It cannot be stopped.

"It doesn't really make sense though, does it?" You gaze almost dreamily up at the metal ceiling, musing your Deep and Philosophical Thoughts. "I mean, if sub is under and marine is water, it's literally an 'underwater'. We don't call ships 'topmarines' or 'supermarines'."

"That's..." Lawless sounds lost. And physically pained.

"Really, ships would be surfacemarines. They're not technically on TOP of the water," Fireplace innocently considers, rubbing his chin.

"No, that's not-" Lawless tries to intercede, having probably nothing useful to add.

Hold up, you gotta argue this one. Abs' suggestion is just silly. "Yeah, but if some of the hull is underwater, would that be a partialsubmarine? Because that's just unwieldy naming. It's better to consider the fact that MOST of them is out of the water and name them based on that. Maybe a mostlymarine."

"I dunno, I think saying, 'Look, a Marine mostlymarine!' would be kind of a pain," Fireplace decides, though he still sounds uncertain. "I guess I prefer 'ship'."

"So what's an underwater vessel? Because 'submarine' is still stupid."

"This entire argument is stupid!" Wow, Lawless is showing genuine emotion! Exciting! "This is a submarine, it's MY submarine, and no-one's calling it something idiotic just because you two can't speak simple Standard!"

You and Abs watch the seething, purse-lipped pirate for a few seconds, before catching each other's eyes. "Ooookaaaaaay," you say, soothingly. "Whatever you say, Lawless."

Fireplace stifles a snort. Lawless' eyes narrow, before he briskly turns, walking even faster than before. "Let's get this done and you all off my sub as soon as possible."

"Off my 'under' doesn't even make sense," you mutter, enjoying Lawless' faint twitch, before he shoves a heavy door open, sharply motioning you inside.

"Get inside, PLEASE. We'll consider the treatment after I've seen the payment. And try not to drip over anything."

You're actually drying pretty quickly here, but you still hold up the damp bag as you enter... the medbay of DEATH. "Payment comes after surgery and recovery. That's my orders."

"I'll need proof of it anyway. Up on the table, please, Mister Firefist."

>You can check Fireplace first. If you can't do anything for him, the payment doesn't matter.
>(Toss him the bag) All there!
>You can look at a page. Or two, if you tell me what it's all about.
>Other?

Pretty sure Garp told us to keep a tight hold on the bag lest he 'room' it away from us.

Also we're unintentionally preparing Law for the eventual teamup with the strawhats and their idiocy in the future, and that's beautiful. At this rate he'll probably end up thinking that he's got a minor devil fruit ability in attracting complete morons.

That doesn't seem right. Rolling to have everyone refer to Lawless' sub as a subpirate, but only when he's there to get annoyed by it and start to wonder whether everyone except him has gone mad.
