MC Pastebin: https://pastebin.com/XGUgpV79

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 FLASHY: THE DUMBASS YEARS, the handsome and mysterious Karasu cawntinued on his cawest to become the King of Crows, gaining Wado from the trash-humans, pissing off his beloved Cawptain, and devouring some sugar that allowed him to becawm a temporary GOD OF TRAINING. He also learned some weird human kick-y skill, called Rancawyaku, although he isn’t that good at it (although still better than any weakling human cawld be, naturally). He also had a stunning revelation regarding Armament and flying splashes, which means he now understands that blatantly obvious fact that they’re the same thing, caw. So smart! But where could that devilish rogue, the also-mysterious but not as handsome Flashman be...?

>you’re a poet, and you weren’t aware of it, CA-CAW

You gaze upon your precious shiny-boi, his proud blade and elaborate hilt and guard a testament to quality blacksmithing.

“The Ray pierces
the hearts of men
like the sun.”

....... You’re a genius. A poetic genius, caw. You should write a book. Of poetry.

About SHINY THINGS.

Caw.

... Or - maybe not. Instead, you canwsider your freshly-cleaned rapier with due reverance, Ray-san’s glorious shininess a sight to behold.

>87, Ray-san has shit taste in poetry

(Ray-san awakening +1! I’m so ashamed.)

You feel a warm cawntentment in your magnificent avian soul, as if Ray-san himself approves of your blessed words. Which he does, naturally, caw, as your haiku is beautiful. Like everything else you do.

Why are you so amazing?

Deciding it must be the blessings of your cawvid ancestors as they smile upon you (hard to do with a beak, but crows are cawpable of anything) you cawfully resheathe your blade.

With Wado retrieved, and your Cawptain’s cawffin sorted, there really isn’t anything to do at Ennies Lobby. Not unless you count repeatedly kicking Smilopath in his undoubtedly small penis, caw, and while that would be satisfying, it’s probably also suicidal. You’ll hold off for now.

Aqua Laguna should hit Water 7 tomorrow evening or so, but as long as you take the morning train back there, caw, you’re sure you cawn all hole yourselves up and ride it out in a hotel there.

That still leaves you this evening for whatever you want to do, though...

>>3886473
I have no idea re. Awakening, I leave that to Bob. I believe there’s should be a thingy on the pastebin saying which comment the skills were last updated on.

You can do Ray-san training as it’s one-handed, can’t do dual-wielding due to arm still being injured.

The only difficulty is that as far as I understand there is a pretty slim margin of error in the upper edge between medium-hard, hard and burned sticky mess, you have to keep an eye on it at all times and know what you are doing.
Using a thermometer and temperature guide for various types of candies instead of cold water test brings the process down to science and numbers.

I'm pretty sure that as long as no explicit sex was involved, oblivious shonen hero Flashy would think it was a nice, happy book about two bros doing bro things. Affectionately.

>>3886923
I gotta be honest, mystery box was gonna be a d2 roll between finding a major clue towards the location of either the Crow Crow Fruit or a strange island of forbids, just to fuck with you. I suspect Soru has won, but I'll close vote here and tally soon.

Corvids, not forbids. Goddamn autocorrupt.

Also, I think mystery box is at 8 votes... soru at 6... fans have a couple of votes as well. So - it looks like mystery box still actually wins. Stupid crows pecking at the shiny option.

>Clue to Crow Fruit

Or shall I roll a d2?

>>3886970
Yes, although Flashy should be forbidden from doing a lot of things, so an island of forbids would be pretty good for him.
>>
>>3886972
>>Clue to weird corvid island

Mostly because this will help solidify the character saying he's from X island is better than a mysterious corvid island for anyone looking into him.
>>

Maybe we can learn some sort of weird bird techniques over there, at the very least. Dammit guys, we could’ve picked up Soru.

Both are good, so Im ok with either one.
Crow Fruit info gives us a plausible explanation as to why Karasu isn't traveling with Mibird anymore. Also, if we actually manage to find it it opens up an old option.
Weird corvid island sounds like an interesting place to visit and more background info to Karasu crowsona.

>ca-caw muthasquawkers

The rest of the day goes with a surprising amount of ease, caw, and no reappearance from Smilopath. Everyone seems happy to go back to Water 7 as you suggest (except for your Cawptain, who never seems to be happy except when he's being sadistic - but he DOES want his new boat, so he cawsually agrees as well).

Deciding to rest your body a little, cawnsidering your arm and still somewhat aching feet, the evening is spent in the library, caw, making a cawful perusal of all these books you may never see again. Books on law and protocol, ships and seamanship, navigation and weather, new and old maps-

You pause at the sight of one map, caw, perhaps a century out of date, of Paradise. You've had to stuff enough maps into your head at the Acawdemy to know that you don't recognize several islands on it - ones that have been 'forcawtten' by the Government for whatever reason.

It's the one with a badly-scrawled black bird taking wing over it, caw, with a bold 'hear be crowes' (great spelling, dumbass humans) that attracts your attention, though.

Holy cawrap.

This cawn't be an actual island of crows, though. That's just stupid, caw. And besides, why would the World Government want to hide an island of birds? (Except so the humans didn't realize how inferior they are, obviously, caw.)

... Okay. Kind of weird. But it's not like you have a Pose to that island, so no big deal, caw. It probably got sunk by volcawnic eruption or something.

You shrug, shoving the musty old book back into its slot, caw, and putting the later from your mind. You're sure this will never cawme up again.

Never.

NEVER.

N E V E R.

And then, as you leave the library, considering an early night, you're accawsted by a pair of wack-jobs.

They emerge from the shadows ahead of you (having apparently turned off some of the lights, a serious trip hazard and health and safety breach, caw) meeting in the middle to...

Pose dramatically.

"To protect the world from revolution!"

Okay.

"To ascend the peak of evolution!" The female idiot-human points at the ceiling, caw, which is apparently where the peak is. It seems to be a very low peak.

You just want to get past, caw.

"To inflict our skills on the scum of the earth!" The male idiot-human changes position, to a yet more ridiculous posture, caw.

"To destroy the trash that have no wo-!"

"Get out of my way before I stab you, caw," you politely request, in the style of your beloved Cawptain.

They have the nerve to pause, looking at each other in offended silence, an odd, silent cawnversation ensuing, before the female human steps forth, glare fixed once more upon you. "Karasu. We challenge you to a duel!"

You answer with the accawmulated wisdom of your cawvid ancestors. "No."

Their eyes narrow as one - the woman's hands dipping slightly towards the daggers at her waist; the young man's towards his twin pistols.

"Unacceptable," the male snaps. "You half-blind our little brother, and think we'll let that go?!"

... Oh. Ohhhhh. Yeah. You sort of... did that. Caw.

>first write-up juuuust beat out the second, but in my defence also got votes without write-in, so I put that in too

You shrug, bobbing your shoulders and glossy, sexy plumage like the magnificent hunk of bird-meat you are. "In my defence, he seemed fine with it, caw.
Are you saying your little brother is incawpable of settling scores himself? Does he know you're making him seem weak?"

The air sparks. In a non-lightning Logia kind of way, caw, as the pair's postures change to something even more aggressive, glares darkening. "Kiri isn't allowed to challenge you again, even if he wanted to," the woman seethes, caw, her weight distribution perfectly balanced for a lunge or dodge. "Just because he's been trained to ambush attacks rather than straight fights doesn't mean he's incapable! For us - the Rufu siblings trained in direct combat - we will avenge our brother's eye!"

And then they strike another pose, caw, because apparently that's what you do on Weirdo Lobby.

>i really want to make arthur their pikachu somehow, now. thanks anon

You squint at them. "... So what you're saying is, caw, he doesn't know you're here and he wouldn't cawpprove."

The pair shuffle, perhaps a liiiittle uncawmfortably, before the male human puts his hand up. "If we kill you, he doesn't have to know!"

"Yosemune!" His sister seems shocked. "That's dishonorable! We're only going to gouge his eye out, for justice."

... This is not a justice you are familiar with. Caw.

They somehow learn that Arthur has the Goro Goro no Mi. Rather than tell everybody, they decide to kill him and take it for themselves. So they follow him all around the Grand Line, pulling various stupid schemes to try and get Flashy to drop his guard long enough for them to kill him.

Mm. Yeah, no, caw. While the idiots are distracted with bickering over their moral cawnundrum, you turn and head back to the library. There's other pitiful humans in there, and these morons cawlearly don't want witnesses, if they're waiting until you're alone to attack.

You saunter birdily through the doors, hearing their cawries indignation behind you as they realize you're gone, and

>parry the ground with your FACE

Giving a nod of acawknowledgement to the librarian you pass, you continue past the front desk, the first few rows of books, a reading table, caw, two more rows of books, and then throw yourself out of a window.

As one does.

Alas! Despite your avian soul, your body but that of a mere human, caw - and gravity (obviously evil, it rhymes with depravity, caw) mocks your weak body, dense bones, and cawful lack of wings.

Your plumage sweeps up behind and above you, caw, as you plunge gloriously down to OW FUCK

In an attempt to land dramaticawlly on one bent knee, caw, you may possibly have stumbled and ending up slamming both knees into the hard pavement OW YOUR LEGS DAMMIT this is fine ahahahaha all good here (ow).

You keep your face straight as you rise, cawsually dusting off your legs and pretending not to notice the indentations and cawracks on the pavement. This is exactly as you planned. Yes. You meant to do that, caw.

Time for an early night, you suspect, if you're catching that train tomorrow...

>Any last minute action/talk tomorrow morning before the train leaves?

Congrats on avoiding a fight with Team Rufu! Despite being dumbasses, they would in fact have very likely kicked your arse. Hard.

I roll a (usually) 1d3. The highest roll is considered the best one, middle is... middle, and the lowest score is called worst. In this case it was for 'how bad is the injury' and as the 'worst' (aka lowest) roll was 3, the injury severity was only a 3.

The only issue would be if a nat1 or nat100 was rolled, as crits still override, in which case a nat1 is still a crit failure and nat100 a crit success.

>a'ight, imma head on out, caw

Ennies Lobby. Or as you now know it: Weirdo Island, caw.

Seriously, what a bunch of nutjobs! Even more than most pitiful humans! The library was good, caw, getting Wado was even better, and the food was... not cawful, but apart from that?

Yes, you're glad to see the back of the place.

Your group of perfectly rational, normal cawmpanions and Cawptain seat themselves in the sea train, once more heading to Cawter 7. You should make it at least a couple of hours before the Acaw Laguna hits, which should be enough time to find a hotel to ride it out in.

For now, you

Keeping your identity the same for now, you stay cawlad in your magnificent plumage for the duration of the journey, as you admire the travesties of the weather outside.

Yes, you've grown up in the Grand Line, caw, and sailed in it long enough to be used to the sudden turn from sunny to stormy to a spontaneous tornado in the space of five minutes - but the screaming wings and roaring waves outside are cawlearly the start of something bigger than you've seen before. The way the train cawrriahes rattle and rock is somewhat... ominous.

Regardless, you make it to Cawter 7 without dying horribly, even if Sunglasses keeps muttering darkly about how you should have stopped at a different island and skipped out on the whole storm, caw. Tough luck! Your ancestors would be ashamed if you ran from one measly little raincloud!

Now to not drown tonight.

Your group heads as one out of the station, your Cawptain in the lead towards whatever hotel he knows, Klaus snagging today's cawpy of the World Economic Times that someone's abandoned on a seat.

The city seems... almost deserted. Boarded up, shutters down and sandbags shoved across every book and cawranny. It's cawld, the air chill and heavy, and something in your body seems to almost vibrate with -

Oh, right. That's probably your Devil Fruit. Never mind. Not that you have a Fruit, of cawrse. ... Caw.

"Wouldn't'a expected that," Klaus muses, and you glance back at the swordhobo you barely know, caw. He's flicking through the paper as you walk. "Looks like it was the Revolutionaries that tried to assassinate the local Mayor. Guess they didn't want him building Marine ships, huh?"

>Sounds stupid. They cawn't kill an industry by killing one man, caw. (Honestly, you think less of them for such a dumbass tactic.)

"Karasu cares not for petty human cawncerns," you regally inform the swordhobo, caw, to which he responds by rolling the paper up and whacawing you around the head with it.

A violent assault, to be sure, caw.

You don't have enough knowledge to guess at WHY the Revolutionaries would be in town and trying to all killy on the Mayor, caw, so you'll withhold any judgement for now. You've been... better inclined tocawrds them lately, with certain slavery revelations, but that doesn't mean they're angels, or even that they're all marching in step, caw. Every large group has its over-eager recruits or internal bicawering, after all.

... You have way too much to think about, lately.

>uneventful journey, and boring rolls. boooooo

Despite the terrible wind rattling around the streets, caw, it's a brisk but peaceful walk to the hotel, which - like everywhere else - has shutters pulled down and all but one door boarded shut. A single, shivering member of staff motions your group inside, quickly slamming the door shut behind you once you're in.

"My usual room," yout beloved Cawptain says to the petrified receptionist.

She stares up at him, wide-eyed, in pathetic human terror, caw. "Um, we, sort of, don't have any vacanc-"

"My usual room," says your beloved Cawptain, this time Looking at her.

"YES, SIR!"

... Okay, so that's your Cawptain settled.

>So we'll be sharing the room with you, right, Cawptain?
>I'm sure the rest of us cawn made do with an office or something for the night, caw...

But what about you, caw? And Mr Speedy? And Rodent?

.......... And the pathetic humans, you guess. Whatever.

"So we'll be sharing the room with you, right, Cawptain?" You gaze upon your Cawptain with your most innocent, devoted look, tragically nearly hidden by your mask, caw.

He looks at you, dully.

"... Is that a no, caw?"

He keeps looking.

"That's a no."

"The rat can stay with me," he drawls, and Klaus promptly cawlutches at one of his pockets, eyes narrowing. "No? Very well, then. Have a night."

"You mean a good night?" Hat sounds hopeful, caw.

"No," is your Cawptain's parting word as he strides off down a hallway towards a no-doubt plush set of rooms.

You and the Marines turn somewhat cawkward gazes upon each other, while Firefist leans over the reception desk and smiles pleasantly at the staff-member. "Heeeey..."

"No vacancies, sir," she snaps, caw, apparently less intimidated by the smiley young guy (with visible abs) than the scary sword-guy (with hidden abs).

By which you mean you loom over her, glare as cold and dark as Smilopath's shrivelled heart, caw. "Heeeeeey," you say.

She squeaks.

Fireplace looks reluctantly impressed.

But hey, at least you get... one room out of it.

>CA-CAW, I'M KARASU!

The receptionist slinks off to inform the room's cawrrent residents that they're about to be thrown out onto the streets to die, much like your Cawptain's room's occupants (or they'll be put in a shelter, whichever). Sucks to be them, caw.

Hat and Sunglasses, meanwhile, sidle up to you, looking impressed. "Impressive technique, aniki!"

"Crow-aniki that we've barely met," Hat cawrrects.

"Right, right, that's what I meant."

"Can you... teach us that glare?" Hat gazes at you with all the reverence of a puppy faced with an offered ball, caw.

You cawross your arms, making sure your back is straight and plumage beautiful. Just cawidding, your plumage is always perfect. "Such tecawniques are the domain of the Crow Empire, and cawn't be taught to mere humans!"

The pair of lackeys slump, disappointed, caw, while Firefist raises an eyebrow from where he's busy polishing off the front desk's fruit bowl. "Didn't you learn that from Mihawk?"

........

"No."

"I'm preeetty sure they WATCHED you learn it from Mihawk."

Fortunately, the stomping of multiple people approaching provides a cawnvenient distraction.

"Ah!" You spin to face the cawrridor. "A cawnvenient distraction!"

And then you promptly have a heart attack as a bunch of pissed-off Strawhats appear, caw.

Not Strawbrat himself, but Zolo, Sanji, Sandyboi and aaaaaaaaahhhh Doctor Cuuuuuuttttiieeeeeee no wait can't hug

R- right.

Their gazes flick over you, caw (pissed off, confused, unimpressed), your lackeys - their eyes widen a fraction, probably due to the sight of Marines - and then (missing Klaus, probably due to his lounging over on a nearby cawouch), stop on Firefist.

"Hey, guys," he chirps, caw, waving at the group as he picks another handful of grapes.

It's unfortunate that they start relaxing at the sight of him, caw, becawse that's when Zolo's eyes scan back across to Ray-san and Wado, and he promptly goes bright red.

"THAT-!"

Wado is a katana.
Wado is also not Ka-tan.
Ergo, Wado is terrible, and deserving of whatever we happen to say about it. I feel bad just carrying it. We'll have to get the really good sword oil out for our babies later as an apology for this gross transgression.

>everyone say 'thank you abs'

You're fast. Mold-head is fast too, by the way he blurs towards you, caw, teeth bared in a rictus snarl, blade screeching through the air, the very air around him seeming pitch-black -

And then, just as you're flinching back a little too slowly, caw, Firefist moves smoothly to place one hand on your shoulder, yanking you out the way, and the other to throw an apple at Mold-head's head-mold.

It makes a satisfying BONK.

"No," Firefist chides, caw, voice half-muffled by the pear he's just taken a bite out of, wagging his finger at the suddenly-stopped, confused Mold-head. "We don't attack weird bird-people! That's racist."

Hat and Sunglasses take one look at each other, and start edging away, caw. The Strawhats seem just as thrilled, although a little more tense.

"Hey! Moss-head, that's your sword on that guy, right?" Sanj- Swirly steps forwards, hands in pockets. Cawnsidering his kicks, you don't find that reassuring.

"And he's got - Arthur's rapier," Mold-head adds dangerously, fingers flexing on his sword-hilt.

Oh. Yeah. Oops.

"Ace," he goes on, voice low, "Get out of my way. I won't kill him yet."

Firefist bites his lip. It might look like indecisiveness to the Strawhats, caw, but you can tell full well he's trying not to laugh his ass (or abs) off. The abshole.

>Your better has told you to stop, caw! Remain in your place, pitiful human!

You hold your head high, caw, sneering at the pathetic Mold-man, something you feel safe in doing as you're still half-behind Firefist. Ha-ha! Your corvid cunning at work, ca-caw! "Your better has told you to stop, caw! Remain in your place, pitiful human!"

Firefist slowly turns his head to look at you with an expression you can't cawite place. It's somewhere between 'please shut up, you're making things worse' and 'please keep talking, I want to see what happens', caw.

"This man-thing," Firefist says, in a voice filled with mingled pain and glee, "is the cabin-boy of Mihawk."

Moss-man's eyes widen. The other Strawhats tense, the air thickening like your skull, caw. Somewhere to the side, Klaus cawrunches loudly on a handful of chips.

Firefist cawntinues. "So unless you want to make an enemy of Mih-"

"That's fine," Moss-man interrupts.

"-awk, y- wait, what?"

Mossy-mossy readies his blade, and draws another. "This guy doesn't need all his limbs to answer my questions, anyway."

"You're a terrible negotiator, caw," you whisper informatively to the Shichibukai.

"Whose side do you want me on?"

"Shutting up," you correct. "... Caw."

"This is a simple matter," Sandyboi speaks from where he stands next to Docawter Cawutie, the mink looking worried and furious. "Just tell us where you got the swords. No-one needs to get hurt."

THINK FAST, KARASU

MAY THE WISDOM OF YOUR AVIAN ANCESTORS DIVEBOMB UPON YOU

"I am holding onto these for a former caw-rewmate," you sort-of-explain-but-not, caw. "If you wish to learn more, meet me at the hotel cawfeteria tomorrow morning... Alone."

Zoro's eyes narrow further, but you can see him picking over the words, caw. What did you tell them as Cawrthur? That your ship had sunk... most of the cawrew was likely dead... but a few had survived. That was it, right? It's been about two weeks since Skypiea, and you didn't really have time for a full cawver story. Still, if he thinks you were part of Arthur's old cawrew.

"Fine," he says, finally. "But I want real answers, then. And I'm taking Wado, right now."

"I'm keeping it safe for its rightful owner," you refuse, caw. "If you want it, you must first defeat me."

"All right," he agrees. "Let's step outside."

>zoro wants the wado

"There's a storm brewing," you point out, crossing your arms. "We wouldn't want to be cawght out if it decides to come early. There's no rush, I'm not going anywhere, caw."

Zoro's wide grin drops to a scowl, caw. "Stop messing around. I don't care if we fight now or later, but Wado's mine, and I'm taking it back. And if I don't like the answers you give-" He pauses, frowning, glances at the cook, then shakes his head. "It doesn't matter. Just hand Wado over, or even Ace won't stop me."

"Something's gotta give," Firefist mutters beside you.

We might actually stand a bit of a chance, even with the injured arm and no obs haki. We've vastly improved on our armament haki, have gotten really good at air slashes, and have perfect metal cutting.

and IIRC, unless Zoro grinded the shit out of sky island, there really wasn't a whole lot of fighting between Sky Island and Water 7.

Unless BPQM made the Davy Back fight canon.
>>
>>3894297
Davy Back fight was canon.

The awesome marine base arc was not.
>>
>>3894297
I mean, Zoro would be in better shape than us. We have General Fitness bonus of +40 and that's not including Swordsmanship, which Zoro clearly would outclass us in. I suggest we try not to fight a loosing battle. Deflection and other such tactics, whilst unlikely to work, are a more likely to work than fighting.

I'm leaving whether the Davy Back fight happened up in the air (haha, sky island joke), but suffice to say that they HAVE been grinding the crap out of their skills.

>ca-cawtana

"Here, caw-ld it Firefist. You cawn be referee," you bluntly tell your friendly neighborhood Shichibukai, caw, deftly pulling out sword and scawbbard, and shoving them into his hands.

"Uh, I'd rather no-"

Zoro eases up slightly at the sight at the sight of Wado in his Cawptain's brother's hands, while you gently shove Firefist back.

The time has cawm. For you, the cawbin-bird of Cawptain Mihawk, injured as you are, to face off against his potential successcaw. Sword against sword (and two others, if he goes all out, caw).

"No-one interfere," you announce, while Hat and Sunglasses cawuietly groan and rest their heads in their palms. "This is between me and Mold-man."

(Sanji chokes on his cigcawrette and nearly swallows it.)

"I hate everything," Firefist mutters, as he and Mold-Man Zoro follow you out into the beginning of drizzling rain, caw.

>Any particular way you want to fight this? Anything to say before you start fighting?
>>
>>3894714
Just to fuck with him, just before we begin say:
>Captain Arthur sends his regards, Zolo!

As for fighting? Armament for defence is our best bet, followed by...

QM, with the storm, does our lightning get stronger? We could try some actual Paramecia stuff and shock him a bit. Otherwise just stabby stab with Ray-san.
>>
>>3894724
Actually, with the lightning and storm beginning, your electricity gets a bit more uncontrollable, but a bit more powerful. If you awakened then it would get more powerful AND more controllable, but just as your lightning can get attracted to metal or the ground etc when you don't intend it to, this sort of atmosphere makes it a bit trickier to use.

When the lightning REALLY starts up, you're gonna be fairly energised (and maybe a little high/drunk) but the fight probably won't last that long.
>>
>>3894736
Armament and Ray-san it is then, still sticking with my suggestion on what to say.
>>
>>3894736
inb4 lightning strikes us both and it will be a draw
>>
>>3894714
Hmmm. With Observation out of commission, playing the waiting defensive game probably isn't the way to go. And we can't use our DF without outing ourself. So I'd say keep up a constant, close range offensive, focus on thrusts to keep him on his toes and unable to counter. He's got two swords, so if we're pushed into a defensive battle then we lose. Keep the pressure on, but keep our air slashes back for now, so we can catch him off guard with one later. As Karasu, we have a nice big flowing cloak, so try to use it to conceal the trajectory of our rapier thrusts, if possible. I know our off-hand is too injured to manage a sword or other melee weapon, but could it handle the recoil of a pistol? I'd imagine the strain would be less, and we wouldn't need to use our full range of motion for the most part. If so, I'd suggest bringing out Pistol-chan, since I don't think Zoro's seen it and as such it wouldn't tip him off. If we can use Pistol-chan, try to use our cloak to conceal our initial bullet trajectory as well. So basically, keep up a constant offensive pressure, but keep our air slashes as an ace in the hole to surprise him with.
>>
>>3894714
Before.
>Drop some super cringe I mean cool and poetic piece.

Sorry. Must've not being paying attention.
>>
>>3894714
>Armament, Ray-san, and some kicks.
>>
Everyone okay with close-range offensive, with Armament and Ray-san, then? You COULD use Pistol-chan in your off-hand, and it hasn't been specified to be a sword-only duel, so it's up to you guys if you want to use her. Kicks and air-slashes if necessary?

Don't forget, you also have your daily crit to use and abuse.

I gotta figure out Moldboi's bonuses now...
>>
>>3894714
We should try to keep our distance and fight with air slashes. We'll be overwhelmed if we try to fight Mold-Man up close.
>>
>>3894781
With our injured arm can we use Pistol-chan safely? If so, maybe as a last resort.
>>
>>3894781
if we win without pistol zolo will have to admit we better swordsman so he will shut up and leave us alone.
>>
>>3894781
Im against using pistol in this fight.
Also, keep airslashes as a secret finishing kind of move, try to surprise him with them when he least expect it.
>>
>>3894798
If we beat Zolo and tell him that not only were we down an arm but not even able to go all out because we had a stroke then he is going to actually cry himself to sleep.

Rolled 69 (1d100)

No real consensus on saying anything before you fight, so let's get beginning rolls out of the way!

>Roll 1d100, best of 3 for SWORDS, CAW

You'll be using Swordsmanship as bonus.
Zoro's bonus is 100 + 10(dual wield). If he rolls above 95 he'll also activate Armament.

I won't give you an injury malus as you aren't using that arm, if you look like you're going to take a serious hit I may roll again to see if you use Kami-e to dodge. Remember that Zoro also knows Kami-e thanks to that charming rogue Arthur, so same for him. If things get too bad, you have your daily crit and various people have their own crits (don't know how many of those crit-holders are still playing, but doesn't matter right now).

I’d want to save it for a combat crit moment. Make it look like Karasu is doing it to show dominance or the effortlessness of fighting Zoro.

You're right, he hasn't killed you yet! Maybe next roll.

>it's hip to be scarred

The winds have incawreased, and the rain has started - only a light drizzle for now, caw, but distant thunder tells you it'll be stronger soon. Your blood seems to buzz, caw, but whether that's from the promise of a lightning storm or the upcawming fight, you cawn't tell.

The others pile out after the pair of you, civilian staff doing the smart thing and staying inside, caw.

"All right!" Firefist, rain sizzling off his skin, stands between you and Zoro. "I want a nice, clean fight! Admittedly, you're both pirates, so I'll take what I can get, but try not to cheat too obviously. And no killing or permanent maiming, because I refuse to get any blame for THAT level of awkwardness."

"And because you don't want your brother's first mate or your dear friend Karasu to die," Klaus pointedly adds.

"Uh. Yeah, that too."

"I should have brought my supplies..." Docawter Cawutie murmurs from Zoro's end.

"I'm incawredible at not maiming people," you say, not at all shifty as you cawnveniently wipe your memory of throwing salt and glass into someone's eye.

Everyone stares at you with gazes full of totally undeserved suspicion. You are pure and innocent, as all crows are, caw.

"Riiiiiiight," Zoro says, almost like he doesn't believe you, caw. Then he takes position, and you do the same.

Firefist backs off - he drops his hand; "FIGH-"

Both you and Zoro are a blur.

He's all offense, not even bothering to start slow to test your defences or warm-up, caw; in a blaze of movement, you have two swords slicing the air tocawrds you. Thankfully, you're cawnfident you can dodge them, and you do.

... The problem is that Zoro's apparently improved his air slashes, caw, to the point where even though you easily swivel and dodge from the blades themselves, the cawtting power extends further than that. Several inches, perhaps.

The blades miss, but an invisible force slashes through part of your pants nonetheless, cawlothing starting to stain with blood from a long but shallow cawt.

Zoro tsks in annoyance, scawling at the lack of damage, as you manage to slap the blade further aside with Ray-san and cawntinue retreating to -

Use your injured arm to pull out and start eating Klaus' candy bar, caw.

Zoro's eye twitches, caw, despite being free of glass or salt. "What," he states, to the backdrop of multiple groans and sounds of cawnfusion.

Foolish plebians.

>>3895240

Considering the chances of it, even with a 5 it would still have been very good. Three identical rolls would probably mean accidental Conqueror's activation.

>>3895246
This means another injury if you guys don't use the crit. A more serious one this time, but nothing major yet, probably just some not-overly-deep cuts, although these do add up.
>>

I think we should use it. Gotta buy time for the sugar to take effect.

>>
>>3895290
What about billiards?
>>
Only one vote for combat crit, so won't use it.

>>3895290
There's some leeway (you're on 3d100s, your Kami-e is better than his, your Armament has lower activation, etc) all of which means that you could end up actually getting the drop on him even if you score slightly lower, but basically yes. He only focuses on one type of weapon, has been training a lot over the past two weeks, and is highly motivated right now.

>boom pow stab stab stab

You don't bother to grace the pathetic humans with a response, caw, instead shoving the wrapper caway in a pocket (littering is for losers) and motioning that you're ready.

Zoro grits his teeth, caw, and you see his hands tighten around the hilts. He doesn't speak, apparently dismissing the cawndy-eating.

The next pass is a flurry of more blows, caw; faster this time, with you more cawtious of beyond his blades' edges. You dodge before you feel like you should, parrying the blades before they look too dangerous, caw. It's exhausting, but the only other option is to be stabbed - and you are, or at least sliced. Every now and then, as your one blade slaps aside one of his, poor Ray-san unsuited for such actions, caw, an attack gets through, and another cawt starts trickling blood acawross your stomach or chest, stinging something fierce.

... Ow.

(-1 on future cawmbat rolls due to collection of cuts!)

"This is Mihawk's crewman?" Zoro smirks, spinning one arm slightly to flick the blood from his sword. "I'm not impressed."

Dick.

"And the Cawptain isn't very impressed with you, after you broke your promise and lost your precious sword, caw," you croon, smug grin hiding your annoyance at this... cawn you even cawll it a duel? You've always won these becaw! Why are you losing?!

Your words do their job, though, and the snarl reappears, caw, Zoro lunging forwards with barely a thought, bellowing, "As if I care what he thinks!" in thrtoneof voice of a man who definitely caws war your Cawptain thinks.

HA.

More imcawtantly, his furious lunge cawsts him big-time. You side-step his too-wild slices, his accawracy dropping in a pathetically human display of emotion, and start jabbing a dozen times a second, not letting him get a grasp on where you're aiming, caw. He pauses - and you lunge, bringing Ray-san's hungry point up to

>score a long but not too deep cut across his chest (and the other massive scar he has...)
>jab into his lip, causing a lot of blood now, and perhaps some slight scarring after.
>carve a slightly awkward cut down his arm that ends up lightning bolt-shaped. That's deliberate. Really.

>bisect your Cawptain's scar

- score a long, though not overly deep cut across his chest, cawrving easily through the cawloth of his shirt, blood starting to redden the torn material.

He doesn't seem overly cawncerned by the pain, but you see him grit his teeth, making himself power through.

(Zoro rolls -2 due to minor injury!)

"Maybe you're not totally useless," he snarks, as his own two blades cawlash against your one in a rapid-fire exercise of precision, strikes hard enough to make your arm vibrate with effort. Occawsionally he pulls one aside to lash out at an unexpected angle, caw, something you're barely able to keep up with without your Cawbservation.

(Perception +1! Swordsmanship +1!)

Scawrew this.

Eyes narrowed in cawmbined cawncentration and frustration, you suddenly twist away from the cawtana blades, leaving Zoro fumbling and bereft of an opponent as you sidestep and then a few more rapid paces backwards, adjusting your balance.

"Get b-" Zolo manages to snap, caw, right becaw you you unleash a kick that cawmes nowhere near him; but it doesn't need to.

The power of your Rancawyaku erupts from hip down to thigh-knee-foot in an instant of perfect control, cawrving a cawlean, invisible line through the air.

Zoro doesn't see the attack cawming. Literally. After all, it's invisible, right?

The slash is perfectly formed - sheer luck, you have no idea how you did it, caw - and you see cawnfusion cawross your rival's face as he sees how far away your kick is, before a sudden realization, caw - it isn't that much of a leap from flying slashes to Rancawyaku - and trying to dodge.

Too slow, caw~

The energy you released doesn't have a great range, caw, and it's slightly blunted by the time it hits him; but even so, Zoro is thrown backwards with a yelp of disbelief, a spray of blood mixing with the incawreasing rain, as a neat line cawppears acawross his stomach from one side to the other.

"Dammit!" His angry yell as he regains balance tells you it isn't enough to end the fight. "Kicking is a loser's tactic!"

"SHUT THE HELL UP, MOSS-HEAD!"

"MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS, SHIT-COOK!"

... Right.

(Zoro rolls now from -2 to -5!)

He's distracawted! ULTIMATE SURPRISE AMBUSH TECAWNIQUE TIME!

Rivulets of rain running down Ray-san, you lunge forwards in a wild, gleeful pounce, caw, as if the still arguing Zoro is a particawly shiny bit of tinfoil.

There can be no escawpe from cawvid wrath.

"YOUR CAWPPONENT IS ME!"

"-TY COOK - Oh, right," he says, all cawsual, twisting on one heel as your eyes widen, caw, bringing Ray-san to bear becaws HE WASN'T DISTRACAWTED AT ALL THAT SNEAKY SHIT and then there's two blades batting in a graceful curve to slam against Ray-san with one, the other aiming point-first at your chest and you yelp (mascawlinely) as your foot skids on rain-slick ground, knee failing

And then you're on your back, Zoro looking above, kawtana pressing into your cawoat just above your heart.

"Well, shit," says Klaus, from somewhere far away.

What.

This wasn't supposed to-

Zoro's face is one huge smirk above you, his stupid mold-hair dripping even more accawmulated rain onto your magnificent face. "Well?"

>????

>>3897639
I say we try to strike him with lightning from the sky. It's stormy out. No one will suspect a thing what with Zolo waving that big metal sword around. Surrendering is out of the question. I'm not a sore loser I swear.

Sanji definitely knows, we told him so he wouldn't worry about us jumping off the clouds and as a joke on zolo. Also I vote to surrender, the dice have spoken.

>victory even in defeat, caw

You scowl up stupid-smirk face, caw, the cawbbles uncawmfortably cold and wet beneath you. "I cawccept your surrender," you say, voice stiff. "As a cawnsolation prize take the stupid cawtana."

Zoro's mouth twitches a little wider, caw, smirk changing to wry amusement as he regains his breath, arching an eyebrow at you. "Good enough, birdie."

And then he just withdraws his sword, turns, and walks casually over to Firefist. Like he didn't just kick your-

No. It's fine. Your Cawbservation is busted. Your other arm is injured. If not for those, you'd have won, caw! You know it!

The next person to stand over you is Klaus, although it's really more of a cawrouch, speaking quietly despite the cheers and cawngratulations of the Strawhats in the background. "You gonna lie there all night, Prettybird?"

>poetry skill is now at minus infinity

Guuuuuh, you cawn't believe you got beaten in front of your lackeys and Firefist and Klaus (and when you're back to being Flashman, caw, you're going to have to deal with the whole adoption thing which is a mindbreaker in itself). Still, there's cawnly one thing you cawn do now.

You tense your magnificent avian muscawles and rise in one graceful movement (nearly hitting Klaus), your plumage sweeping gracefully out in the wind and rain, caw.

"And rises again~" you announce, cawrossing your arms and raising your head to stare down at Klaus from your position of power (and height). "The crow, from the ashes. Caw."

"... Oh Seasus, did you hit your head when you fell?"

Humans are so tasteless.

"Well, at least he didn't kill you, so that's nice -"

"I wouldn't have died!" How impolite, Caw! "If I'd used my Haki, or my other arm, I'd have won!"

Klaus stands straight, to his annoying seven foot height, caw, rain making him look like a bedraggled Rodent. "But you couldn't, so you didn't, so you lost." He cawracks a grin, reaching up to adjust your glorious hat, knocked askew from your totally elegant fall. "Never mind. Losses are a part of life, and it's nice to see you can't pull bullshit constantly. Maybe you'll even learn from it!"

... Apart from against your Cawptain... is this the first time you've lost, Caw? It feels... dirty.

And wet.

Really wet.

>I cawn't wait for someone to challenge one of your pirate identities to a Davy Back fight

You stay stoicawlly (sulkily) silent as you troop inside with the others, caw, your feathers good and ruffled. And... wet. Still wet.

Why is it so wet.

The Strawhats seem to be in a good mood now Zoro has his stupid sword bacawk, even though there's some bicawering about how to fit everyone in the other men's room (Sani volunteers to sleep in with the women. Kohza tries to shove sand down his throat.).

Well... at least they're not refusing to move out, you guess? Perhaps some some cawnd of cawnsolation gift as you los-

Ugh. You hate even thinking it, caw. How are the others treating this like no big deal?! YOU (caw) LOST.

... What the cawrap is your Cawptain gonna say?

You swallow nervously as your group drips accawross the lobby and corridors. Maybe you won't even survive to talk to Zoro at breacawfast.

"Well, that was a fun show," Firefist says brightly.

Maybe you should kick him.

Two questions for you large spider.

Do the Marines have our full D. Anger name and picture of us as Arthur?
>>
>>3897938

Go to fucking bed
>>
>>3897938

>>
>>3897974
>Could we heal faster if we have dedicated bed rest?
Yes.
>Do the Marines have our full D. Anger name and picture of us as Arthur?
Just the Arthur name, and no pictures as I don't believe you took pictures of yourself with the Strawhats? If I said you did, then they do have.
It's been too loooong.

Confirm for change to Flashman and not see Doctor Cutie?

Doctor Cutie is winning 3-2 but I have to go to work now - I suspect it'll be a short shift so updates later. Unless a party of alcoholics come in and I work late, in which case, good night!
>>
>>3898024
Yikes, it like we're living in a Linkin Park album.

Like if you want to engage with Dr Cutie change disguise at least
>>
>>3898043
We don't really have to with that beautiful doctor/patient confidentiality. And Chopper likes Arthur, so even if he recognizes us we could probably persuade him to be quiet.
>>
>>3897938
>>3897971
I'll support visiting Doctor Cutie. The cuteness might cure Flashy's big whiny baby disease.
>>
>>3897938
>Change back to Flashman in the room
>>
So how do y'all want to play up the surprise that Zolo got Wado back? Gonna try to pull the "Brass took it from me and some pirate got it" or something? Why else would Flashy show up in the same place the guy who had Wado did? A lot of coincidences?
>>
>>3898174
We were here taking photos he beat us up because shiny, now we looking for him to take Ray-san back
>>
>>3898174
Well, Flashy doesn’t know that Zoro knows that Flashy is Arther. So there isn’t really a reason to come up with a cover story.
>>
>>3898179
Okay? Arthur doesn't come into question here. Karasu and Flashy do.
>>
>>3898174
We'd be better off switching into our Arthur disguise. We already told Zolo that Karasu was holding on to Wado and Ray-san for a "former crewmate".
>>
>>3898179
>>3898189
>>3898207
"ARGH! First that dashing rouge Arthur sneaked onto the White Smoke and stole it and now YOU have it BACK?! Just my luck"
>>
Aaaand it was a longer shift than I thought. Looks like Doctor Cutie first, then change to Flashy in private?
>>
>>3898386
If we're going to ditch the Karasu disguise I think we should become Arthur.
>>
>>3898400
Arthur doesn't have a reason to be in water 7 though. Flashy does since he's actually doing his goddamn job for once in life and is trying to get a bounty photo of the cryptid corvid Karasu.
>>
>>3898386
Can we do it in oposite order?
>>
>>3898400
I'll hold a Flashy vs Arthur vote after Doctor Cutie.

>docawter docawter, will I live?

"Wait a moment," you speak up, as the Strawhats turn to go down a different cawrridor from your group. They pause, looking wary as they turn.

"You're a docawter, right?" You try to sound blunt as you focus on the mink cawutie, and not at all like you want to cawuddle him.

"Y-yes? That's right! I'm the doctor!" He sounds a little more cawnfident by the end, nodding firmly. "Do you want medical help...?"

Yes. You need hugs. Stat. ... Caw. "Yes," you state, Cawptain Mihawk-style, giving a sharp wave towards your hip, the blood-flow sluggish now.

Zoro snorts. "Barely a scratch."

"YOU don't get to decide how bad an injury is, the ones YOU get," Docawter Cawutie squeaks furiously, caw# waving a tiny hoof at him before turning apologetically back to you. "I'll patch you up, Mr... Crow?"

"Karasu, caw," you cawrrect. ... He's so cawute~~

"Well, you're not taking Chopper to your room all by himself," Sanji butts in, face set. "Not that we don't trust you or anything, but we don't trust you."

You get the feeling he doesn't trust you, caw.

>One of you can escawt him with us, then.

"I'll cawme with you then," you say, more interested in.... getting medicawl attention, caw. Definitely not hugging the cawutie. Nope. "And I'm sure Firefist can cawme along and make sure no-one murders each other."

Firefist considers, while thunder rumbles outside. "Am I a professional chaperone now?"

"Yes, but unpaid."

"... You owe me cupcakes."

"Can we PLEASE just get going?" Sandyboi looks... not great. You suspecawt that Sand Logias don't take rainstorms well, caw. "He's not going to kill anyone, we're not going to kill him, we all good now?"

Grumbled murmurs of assent follow, caw, Firefist looking to be the only one genuinely happy. Well, he gets to see Strawbrat again, you guess, caw.

Your cawmpatriots shoot you warning looks as the two groups split, an awcaward silence falling over your new group, until Sanji breaks it, fingering his cigarette as he side-eyes you cawriously.

"So... Mihawk's cabin-boy, huh? He seemed like kind of a loner to me, how'd that happen?"

>fluent in dumbass

You dip your head, overcawm with the TERRIBLE MEMORIES of your DARK AND TORMENT-FILLED PAST. Caw. "I will tell you the story," you say, your voice filled with MOURNING and BULLSHIT, "but it must be in the words of my people." You ignore the cawnfused, cawrious glances at your HUMBLE yet MYSTERIOUS words, as you begin your TRAGIC TALE. "Caw caw, caw caw caw. Ca-caw, caw caw caw caw, caw caw, caw. Caw. Caw caw caw, ca-caw."

A silence falls as everyone ponders your tale of bravery against all odds, caw. Or maybe they're just staring at you like you're a lunaticaw, while Firefist turns exciting cawlors as he tries to keep a straight face.

"Uh. That's. That's certainly... wow," Sanji offers, eyeing you with the look you now recawgnize as someone who thinks you're mentally stunted, rather than seeing your sublime genius, caw.

"Y-yes! That's so incredible!" Docawter Cawutie gazes up at you in... rapt admiration? Tears dribbling from his big, round, adorable eyes? What the cawrap? "And after all that, Mihawk made you his cabin-boy! He must be such a great guy!"

"... Yes," you say, face blank.

Zoro squints between the two of you, caw, obviously not understanding your intimate connection as superior to pathetic humans. "No, seriously, what the hell?"

"I already explained, caw," you testily prevaricawte, your attention turned to shinier matters. "I'm not going to repeat myself becaws you don't listen."

"All you said was caw caw caw!"

Docawter Cawutie gasps, recoiling. "Zoro! I can't believe you'd say something so - so disgustingly racist! Apologize!"

"Yes, Mold-hair!" You nod vigorously. "Apologize, caw!"

"Always knew he was scum," Sanji sagely agrees, caw, shaking his head in revulsion.

"Oh, look, we're here," Sandyboi interrupts, caw, in the long-suffering tone of someone used to stopping Zoro from snapping and murdering the cook.

The group pauses outside the hotel room door, caw, Sanji knocking while Docawter Cawutie fixes Zoro with a firm glare. "We'll be having words about this later. And after Mr Crow spilled his heart to us all!"

The filthy look that Zoro shoots you as the door opens is almost worth losing Wado, caw.

>The door is opened by... That damn Strawbrat.

>sniper island, fa la la, only on your heart, lock on, fa la la~

The door opens to reveal -

Oh maaaaan, it's Sogeking, caw. Why is he - oh, right, caw. There probably hasn't been enough time since the Cawhats left Skypiea to drop him off anywhere, caw.

Nice of them to let him tag along...

He stares at you, caw, as much as you cawn tell with hat mask he's wearing, then at the others. "Uh... did you all need something?"

"Yeah, beds," Sanji bluntly says, elbowing his way into the room, caw, still dripping.

"Wait, wha-?!"

"A bunch of Marines bumped us out of our room," Zoro adds, bored-sounding, caw, as he follows. You trail after him, into - huh, not a bad room for human trash, caw. There's Strawbrat, and OH CAWRAP IT'S MR STEALTHY

Please don't recawgnize you

Please don't recawgnize you

"Hey, who's the funny bird-guy?" Strawbrat's busy investigating the cawntents of his nostrils, lounging on one of the two huge beds, caw, but his words cawse Mr Stealthy to glance up at you from some papers.

>Roll 1d100, best of 3 to see if you realize Sabo knows
This is plus perception bonus but DC is 85 because Sabo's generally good at processing things and controlling his reactions. Such as, say, keeping his face straight while laughing his ass off at you internally.

(Perception +1!)

The sudden spasm of his lips and the flare of unholy joy in Mr Stealthy's eyes tell you that your prayers have not been heeded, caw. An instant later, they're washed caway by merely polite interest.

... Sneaky human, caw.

Sandyboi cawvers the main highlights of the past twenty minutes - the arrival of your group, and their own being summarily cawked out (Strawbrat frowns at that), the realization that you hold Wado and Cawrthur's rapier, your explanation you're holding on to them to a cawrewmate, and then the duel, followed by Docawter Cawutie's agreement to treat your injury (and maybe your arm, if you cawn bring it up).

Mr Stealthy and Firefist keep giving each other Looks that tell you they're having too much fun with this, caw.

"So you're Art-guy's crewmate?" Strawbrat tilts his stupid human head, caw.

"How could that even work..." Zoro mumbles caw some reason.

>Indeed, I served on the same cawrew as him. Now though, I seek glory and power under Cawptain Mihawk.
>Regrettably so, caw, although that's in the past. He and I duelled for the honor of becawming Mihawk's cawbin-boy, and naturally I won... after injuring him severely.
>No longer! Although he's kept his uncawtunate habit of dumping his delightfully shiny objects on me for safecawping, caw.

We fought him with one arm and brain damage so I don't think we're that far behind. It was just bad luck running into him while we were carrying Wado.
>>
>>3900125
It's less that we're carrying Wado and more the fact that he was convinced we'd majorly fucked over HIS eternal rival to get our hands on both.

If we only had Ray-san on us I'd expect he'd still be the same level of pissed off at us because he damn well knows there's no way Flashman would willingly give his weapons to a random pirate unless they were plucked from his dead body.
>>
You know we are moving to change how the marines work from the inside and we've decided that the strawhat crew is mostly trustworthy right? Should we be attempting to gain some pirate allies as flashman? The people in this room either know who we are or we wouldn't be fucked over if they know so maybe we should tell the truth about who we are and start working toward our larger goals? Is that something we should be looking into?

"No longer! Although he's kept his uncawtunate habit of dumping his delightfully shiny objects on me for safecawping, caw," you proudly say, while your magnificent corvid brain spins a new history for cawself as a (vaguely-) proud member of the Hem-Hem Pirates, caw.

"But that idiot's okay?" Sanji actually sounds a little cawncwerned, not that a cawllous rogue like you caws about that.

"Yes, yes, he had to go do something he needed to be unarmed caw," you say, with a dismissive sniff, caw. "So he just dumped his shinies on me! Not that I have a problem with that, caw, the rapier IS very sparkly, but still impolite of him. Caw."

"Your wound...?" You feel Docawter Cawutie tug at your cawoat, looking down to see him holding a medical bag. "Sit down so I can look at it!"

... So acawrable when he's being stern.

Must... not... hug...

You sit yourself on a chair, sweeping your glorious plumage of a cawloak aside, caw, and -

Is undoing your belt okay here, Caw? Well, you're all guys, it's for medicawl reasons, and no-one seems to caw, so whatever.

With your slight uncawlothing politely igcawed by everyone (the three brothers are having fun at least, while the others are mostly bicawring over how to share the two double beds), Docawter Cawutie gets you cawleaned and wrapped in no time flat. A long wound, but shallow, caw.

Lucawly, your tattoo winds around your other hip, and you only tugged your pants down on the injured side, caw, but if you ask him to check your arm... that shirt will have to cawm off, won't it?

"By the way, I have another injury I'd like to get checked, caw," you mention ever-so-cawsually to the acawrable docawtor. "The placement is a liytle improper, caw, so maybe somewhere caw private..."

"Is the bathroom okay?" Docawtor Cawutie, please stop. Your poor heart cawn only take so much cawuteness~

The others seem less than delighted though, caw, Sanji's eyes narrowing at caw words, while Zoro and Sandyboi tense.

"That's fine," you nod, eager to get your bullet holes checked by a more experienced docawter than a swordhobo. "Firefist cawn act as chaperone still, he's already seen them, caw. No shame in him looking again."

Firefist frowns from where he's paused talking with Mr Stealthy. "I have?"

You glare at him, caw.

"Right, yes, I have," Fireplace cawrrects himself, bobbing his head in agreement.

Mr Stealthy, very slowly, caw, raises an eyebrow. You're too busy brushing down your glorious plumage to caw, though. To the bathroom! And maybe getting your arm fixed faster, caw!

"What injury?" Firefist's words as soon as the bathroom door is locawed behind the three of you are cawnfused, until you point at your arm. "Ohhhh, that..."

I don't think its going to become an issue this moment, but its something to think about when/if we become Karasu once more.

I was thinking about it and the best I could come up with is to pretend its a Mythical Thunderbird Zoan.
I mean, if we gain control of our Logia enough to electrify ourselves entirely, fly and mold that electricity in a desired shape, I don't think anyone could call us out on it.

'Thunderbird' is pretty common phrase, given Mozilla and all that, I just googled to confirm that yes, it indeed is a mythical thing and has something to do with native Americans or something, idh.
If that Marco guy can have a Phoenix Zoan that acts like a Logia, then our Logia should be able to mimic a theoretical Zoan that turns you into bird made out of electricity, right?
>>

The neat things the quests finnished.

My ban expired and i can finnally post to say this. Who knows Karasu took Wado? cause if there is a record of that anywhere we are fucked, Smoboss knwos we are karasu and if so then Tasis does to, meaning from her point of view we faked being a pirate to take a meito from a marine and lost it to zoro the day after, she aint gonna buy we legit lost it cause honestly weshould have wiped the floor with him if we hadnt been fighting while very injured and without observation. So if smiley creep writes down that we took Wado and Tashigi checks she will never forgive us
>>
>>3902948

Narukid, Smilopath, Ace, Klaus, Mihawk, Hat and Sunglasses and maybe Team NotRocket I forget if they mentioned it off the top of my head. That's all I can think of anyway.
>>
>>3902980
Wow thanks for eating the rest of my post.

>>3902948
Smilopath reporting it is up in the air. On one hand, it's a meito that just got into the hands of a shichibukai's crewman. On the other hand Smilopath is kind of an asshole and might just forget to file it because he wants Flashy to show up and die just to spite Klaus so if Karasu is ever pursued that means Flashy is less likely to make it where he wants.

It is a lot safer to assume he reported it though. Of course a CP-#'s reports may not be immediately accessible to anyone who doesn't pull high enough rank. Which means Tashigi probably wouldn't be able to get her hands on that information herself.
>>
>>3902948
I'm pretty sure Zolo would be stronger than us even if we were at full strength. Tasis also has no idea how strong Flashy and Zolo are so it wouldn't be that unbelievable to say that we lost. If Tasis finds out all we can do is honestly explain the situation and hope she forgives us.

>>3902948
One way is to appeal to her sword autism by saying the guy who had Wado was a complete and utter tool.

There was no way we could have known we'd run into the strawhats again..

The entire point is that we can't do it sooner rather than later, because we'd get smashed like a bug on a windscreen. It's a marathon, not a sprint. Nobody is going to buy what we're selling right now, we just don't have the clout.

I think Operation Tashigi Intervention is a good idea, lord knows she's huffing them absolute justice fumes pretty damn hard, but I'm not sure even Smoker's going to be 100% on board until we have a more solid plan, and to get a more solid plan we need aforementioned clout. Until then it's all just wishy washy dreams.

Docawter Cawutie looks adorably cawnfused. "The arm? But..."

"Cawnsidering I've joined a new cawrew now, I don't want people to see my cawrew tattoo," you blatantly lie. "Until I cawn get it removed, it must be hidden away from prying eyes, caw!"

Behind the mink cawutie, Firefist rolls his eyes so hard you suspect he may need medicawl attention himself.

At least it seems to placawte Docawter Cawutie, who seems to take you stripping off your shirt, cawoat and glorious plumage but not your mask and hat, in his stride.

Docawter Cawutie cawnfirms that yes: you were shot. Not that you didn't know that, caw, but now you have a professional medicawl opinion on the matter.

Also both he and Firefist are impressed by your tattoo, caw. Yesssssssss.

"It should be fine in a couple of days," the cawute cawutie finally tells you, wrapping cawlean bandages around your GAPING WOUNDS. "Don't move it too aggressively or use it to carry anything heavy, and you should be fine."

"Maybe it would be safer to amputate, just in case," Firefist eagerly suggests, caw. You kick him. Then Docawter Cawutie slaps you both with his mighty yet adorable hooves, caw, and you both behave.

With typicawl corvid stoicism, you adjust your cawlothing, tell Docawter Cawutie to 'take cawre', and saunter off to your room like the handsome and mysterious bird that you are, caw.

Firefist obviously plans on sticawing around a while longer, all three brothers doing their disgustingly twee brotherly things that you're too manly for and definitely not burningly jealous of, caw, SO THERE -

Ahem.

Right.

In any cawse, you get yourself let into your room for the night, the sound of the Aqua Laguna strong even in here, caw, to find your idiot min- no, these Marines you barely know, plus the Swordhobo, caw, in a cawld war over who's sleeping where. Laying cawlaim to the cawouch, you manage to avoid that one.

It's to see if you manage to wake up during the night which, sadly, doesn't get a perception bonus. Alas.

>84

You wake up to the steady rain left in the wake of last night's hideous storm, caw, although you doubt the high tide will have cawmpletely vanished yet. Still, herein one of the upper parts of Water 7, caw, that's not really a problem.

What a wonderful morning, you muse, lying there happily. A cawmfortable cawouch and bedding, no hangover, no kidnapping, caw, your arm feeling much better, in a safe environme-

"Where's the fire dumbass?" Klaus' sleep-groggy voice breacaws through your blissful haze, caw, as you manage to sit up and glance around. Hat, Sunglasses, Klaus (plus Rodent). No Firepl- Firefist. Caw.

Huh.

Guess he stayed the night with his brothers, caw.

"Probably with the Strawhats, caw," you guess, forcing yourself out from under the cawvers. "I'll drag him out."

The others make vague noises of assent, cawlearly enjoying the opportunity for an extra few minutes of sleep. You're too cawind to the pathetic humans.

A quick shower later, you're dressed as

Slipping back into your nice, clean Marine uniform, with your nice, clean Marine coat, fills you with an oddly giddy warmth, like returning home after a cold, miserable day. Like you can drop 90% if the burdens of constant pretence off your shoulders.

Sure, you're not back on the Mist, but... It's good enough for now.

"I return!" You emerge from the bathroom as COMMANDER HARRY FLASHMAN, champion of Justice, slinging a shiny grin and a cawp- no, couple of finger-guns at your fellow humans.

"Oh no," says Hat, straight-faced, as he continues lounging in bed like a lazy jerk. You mime shooting him and head out.

The male Strawhats' room is an easy march, although you do it with a spring in your step that makes it even faster. Then you rap on the door, quickly straightening your coat to look like the manly and intimidating Marine officer you are. Sort of. Maybe.

Silence.

You knock again. Harder.

And then the door opens, just a crack, Firefist's face blank until he recognizes you - then a flicker of surprise, awkwardness, and then casual grin. "Hey, if it isn't you! Hold on a sec, I'll be right out."

>Good night with your brothers, Fireplace?

>>
>huehuehue

You shrug. "No rush, I'm heading down to breakfast. Just maybe try not to hang out with wanted pirates now you're more... official."

Fireplace grips the doorframe, leaning against it as he holds the door only partly open, grinning with casual ease. "Heh, yeah, I know. Definitely won't be seen with them. Promise! I'll, uh, be down with the rest of you in a few."

... Fireplace. Delaying food. Well, okay then. Guess they're not done catching up, huh?

You ignore Abs' awkwardness, and, seduced by the allure of breakfast, abandon his relieved self to the eternal search for sustenance.

In other words, you head downstairs to the hotel restaurant.

The others have just about made it down there as well, surrounded by other guests piling up plates from the breakfast buffet, although there's no sign of any of the Strawhats yet.

Gathering yourself a goodly assortment of delicious breakfastiness (that's a real word), you glance around and

The other twin was abandoned on CROW ISLAND (fa la la ca-caw), while the surprise triplet was given to the care of the royal family of Brittannia Island and was named Arthur.

The parents were kind of assholes.

>>3908841
This is basically it, yes. Rule of comedy applies, although Smilopath is just incredibly smart. People like Robin/Sengoku/Sabo/Benn Beckman are very likely to see through your disguises unless it would be funnier not to.

Also guess who fell asleep writing an update and then didn't wake up until 8.45? IT WAS ME, FLASHMAN. IT WAS ALL ME.

You're thinking small time, our mama had octuplets and they all grew up to be part of the same pirate group, but then the evil garp scattered them to the far corners of the earth and now they will be met by the strawhats at convenient points along the grand line, though never 2 at the same time

1 is a swordsman (karasu)
2 is a sharpshooter
3 is a spearman
4 is a lean mean cannonball machine (Arthur)
5 is a fan fighter (possibly a girl/extra pretty boi)

The sugary breakfast is a nice distraction too...

>absolutely awful

Pancakes and waffles and bacon and pastries and sweet, sweet gloriousness calls you to your plate; you succumb to temptation with the necessary table manners, but as quickly as possible.

Food. Beautiful, fancy-hotel food. Delicious. Nutritious. And sugary.

... Sanji's kind of tasted better, though.

With your attention focused on your food (and vaguely on the others' conversation), you barely notice Abs trundling over, laden down with WOW okay. That's... That's a lotta plates.

You're so glad this is a buffet and not paying by the plate.

"Heeeeey, Firefist," Klaus drawls, smile a little tight as he sets his coffee down. "Strawhats not here yet?"

"Guess not," Fireplace says, voice bright as he sits down. "Maybe they're sleeping in."

"Maybe?" You glance over again to see him raise an eyebrow. "You don't know? Even though you were just up there with them?"

"Uh." Abs pauses, looking suddenly shifty. "I mean - I was kind of focused on getting down here, so."

Hat and Sunglasses are watching now, confused, as Klaus leans forwards slightly. "Firefist, Prettyboy's Observation might be outta action right now, but mine isn't. Plus, I have eyes and ears. We may not have newspapers yet, thanks to Aqua Laguna, but you think I haven't heard the other guests here mention your brother's crew a dozen times already?"

Fireplace swallows a mouthful of bacon, now just looking awkward. "Okay. So... Maaaybe they're not coming."

>>
>>3909761
They did recognise them, that's part of why they didn't just try to beat you all up when you kicked them out of their room. A kind of 'they can't be too terrible if those dumbasses are with them'.

>wat u say

"What," you say, whattily.

Hat and Sunglasses give each other glum Looks, while Klaus groans, slumping back in his seat. And, meanwhile, just shrugs awkwardly and tries to smile.

"Yeah, so, you know that whole mess with the Revolutionaries trying to assassinate the mayor? Well, it was actually CP9."

Hat's eyes widen. "CP9 exists?!"

Sunglasses' eyes may or may not widen. You can't tell. "Water 7's mayor is CP9?!"

...... Honestly, you'd worry about them passing the officer exam, but you've seen dumber people at higher ranks.

"CP9 tried to assassinate the Mayor." Fireplace clarifies, in the patient tone of someone used to explaining things to- oh, right, he was a Division Commander, wasn't he? And he grew up with Strawbrat. He must have superhuman self-control for stupidity...

What follows, as he leans in to tell all, is a tale of such bullshit, it can only be true. Plans for an ancient warship called Pluton, entrusted to the Mayor (except not), and CP9 agents taking advantage of a Revolutionary presence in town to try and gain them. All of which led to the Strawhats heading out last night, under cover of the absolutely torrential storm to...

Beat the shit out of some CP9 guys, prevent the mayor's actual assassination, save the blueprints for Pluton, and end up fleeing Water 7. With a couple of new shipwrights, too.

"That's impossible!" You jab a finger at the lying liar, furious. "How could they sail away during the Aqua Laguna?!"

Fireplace raises an eyebrow at you. "...So you're not disputing that a bunch of Government agents would try to murder a civilian official for profit?"

I know it’s already past and it didn’t win, but shouldn’t Flashman be referring to his ETERNARU RIVARU as Zoro? I can get Karasu calling him Zolo because that’s what’s on his Bounty poster.

Btw, can we just get a short interlude of the Strawhat’s reactions to their bounties? Specifically Zolo’s renaming?
>>
>>3910115
I'm sure that will be part of the Zolo interlude.

>stop right there, fireplace scum

You scowl. "Don't change the topic, Fireplace, their ship was in no condition to sail in this kind of weather."

A smirk plays across Fireplace's face, the kind of smugness more at home on Mibird's. "You know what? You're right. It wasn't, Trashcan." He leans back, folding his arms with cheery insouciance. "But I'm not hearing a denial from you."

>I'm not the one deflecting, here!

I'm curious Zoro know only Flashy names him Zolo so it's his fault, I would think he pretty pissed off at Harry

>it was you, fireplace

"I'm not the one deflecting, here!" You feel your temper rising, caught up in paranoid vision about what those lunatics might have done now. Whatever you can imagine, it's probably not stupid enough.

"No?' He cocks an eyebrow. "Seems like it to me. You don't wanna admit the Government is running around killing innocent people, even though you know it is."

"That's not- I just have a more immediate concern, okay?!"

"More immediate than being horrified, or disbelieving over the existence of a secret Government department assassinating people? Reeeeally?"

You bite your tongue, furious, face flushed with heat.

>Fine. I'm not surprised. Now tell me. What. They. Did.
>I am surprised! But it's still more plausible than your stupid brother's ship making it through the Aqua Laguna!
>What does it even matter whether I believe it or not?!

It's more like, last time you admitted it was just with Sabo and Ace. But are you willing to say it in front of two Marines (who you dont know are on the Strawhats' aide, even though he does) and an (ex- but presumably loyal) Marine? Or are you just all talk to look good in front of whoever happens to be around?

Fireface is kind of a dick. He knows CP-9 was hanging out here and he wants Flashy to talk about not liking the government. Because there's no way the WG has other agents sitting around here. What are the odds, right?

This is all because he's a traitor to the Whitebeards. He was a double agent for the gubmint all along. I never trusted him. Not even when I did.
>>
>sabo why must you fuck canon so viciously

Fuck it. "Fine. I'm not surprised. Now tell me. What. They. Did."

Fireplace... doesn't look at you for some reason. Instead, his eyes flick over to Klaus, as if judging his reaction, then back at you after seeing him blank-faced. "Okay." His voice and expression are more serious, smugness dropped and gone. "You were with them in Skypiea, right? So you know about the Dials they got hold of."

You nod, anger dulling to annoyance.

"And there was apparently some flying gold ship up there?"

Ah, Lightning-Asshole's shiny ship o' doom. "Yeah, I... crashed...... it........." You close your eyes, trailing off, as annoyance now turns to reluctant dread. "No."

"Apparently the shipwrights up there are used to working with Dials. And really generous to their heroes." He's nice enough to try not to grin, even though the anusement is obvious as you open dead eye, devoid of hope.

Klaus speaks up in horrified realization. "Please don't tell us they've got a goddamn flying ship."

"Between the repairs, Dials, Name's navigation, not having to worry about waves, and now their two new shipwrights, I think they'll be fine." Fireplace spears a piece of bacon with a fork, while Hat and Sunglasses exchange disbelieving looks. "This food is gonna go cold, you know?"

This is outrageous. Why do they get fancy stuff? We saved their lives up there like a bunch of times. And all we got was this stupid shirt! I mean, froot. Well it's not that bad. But it's not the gaudiest shit to sail the seven skies.

When we become a captain or higher do we get to build our own ship? I could see alot of use in having a powered engine we plug into to when we need to put on the speed.
Also is this the BS that upset you before when the strawhats rolled really well?

When you get your own ship you'll get a regular Marine one as default, but you can get a different one built/purchased/requisitioned-from-pirates if you want (and have enough money or pull to afford it).
And I can't recall precisely, but I'm pretty sure the event you're referring to was when Merry managed to activate Armament via nat100 training roll. Motherfucking Merry...

>you're like the augustus gloop and dudley dursley of candy and cool things

"......... I want a flying ship. Why don't *I* have a flying ship?"

"Because you don't even HAVE a ship," Klaus dryly points out, now eating his own breakfast, apparently having gone past caring about Strawhat bullshit. "I mean, you DID, for a while..."

You quickly blot that little incident (and blowing it up) from your mind. "Not the point!" At least Merry's all right. And with two shipwrights aboard, she'll likely stay that way - but it must be cramped aboard, surely? Shouldn't they be getting a new ship instead?

"Iiiiiin any case, they're gone," Abs intersects, sounding blasé. "Zoro wanted to hang around a while longer, but the rest agreed he probably wouldn't be able to find his way here and then to the ship in time to prevent the Marines coming after them, and he already had Wado, so..."

"So they just left." You can't help but feel... not betrayed, surely, but... off-kilter. No fighting. No threatening. Just a casual dismissal of being worth sticking around for, and they left. Would they have stayed if they knew you were Arthur or Flashman? Or would they have fled even faster?

... More importantly, you still want a flying ship. Ugh. Not fair.

It's not like we're just going to go after them for no reason, we don't have an objective at the moment and firefist can go do whatever he wants, all we need to do now is buy some more salt and wait for the universe to drop a steaming plate of bullshit on our laps telling us where to go next, also say goodbye to mihawk and go get those orphans sorted out

THIS REMINDS ME.

Not right now obviously, but barring a sudden plot-swerve, you're going to have a short time-skip (maybe a week or two) coming up soon for training with Klaus. This will obviously mostly be sword bonuses, but you'll be able to practice other things so you might want to start considering what other things to timeskip-train in.

Also, going to sleep now, not sure about updates tomorrow because Friday. Congratulations on avoiding Klaus fighting (and maybe dying) in Ennies Lobby, on not dying yourself, possibly not finding out why Sabo was in W7, and on actually obtaining another Rokushiki technique.

And yes, you'll buy more salt while in town. Night all!

I hope we can find the time to learn Soru, or get directions to someone who would be willing to teach/train us on other Rokushiki Techniques we are interested in.
>>
>>3910684
I'm kind of leaning towards just going all-in on weapon training. Between the three swords and then spending some spare time on meteor hammer and fans, I'm hoping we can claw towards that ever-distant 'weapons' consolidation.

Also railgun cannonballs because that is the coolest shit and it doesn't give away that our fruit isn't a paramecia, even if we fuck it up horribly, while almost everything else we can do with the fruit will.
>>
>>3910880
To be honest, going off of Klaus' advice, we should probably reveal our logia from the beginning since Smoker has held the paperwork back. Revealing our logia later stops our marine promotion progress dead in it tracks and puts alot of eyes on our past history up to that point. If we thought Smilopath is bad, imagine him and a hundred other CP agents combing through everything we ever did and said and checking every place we ever went or said we went. It would not end too pretty.

I guess he shouldn't give advice then should he? It seems to have gotten all of his previous students killed :^)
>>
>>3910918
Yeah, but revealing it also puts our future promotion in jeopardy because it means we will have a spotlight on us 24/7. We do enough dumb shit and intentionally misinterpret enough orders that having ANY heat on our ass at any point will rapidly lead to a stone wall, or possibly a coffin. It's not called an 'invincible power' for nothing. Just the fact of having it automatically makes us a name to watch for anybody who knows anything about anything. You really think we can tow the line when they decide that they want to test our loyalty and send some really shitty orders at us because we're the guy with the super OP fruit and they're worried we aren't enough of an Absolute Justice zealot?

There are dozens of excuses we could give as to why we didn't reveal our logia, and ideally by the time we do so we should have enough power and support that it doesn't cause too big a problem.
>>
>>3911016
This is my main problem with the Fleet Admiral plan in general. We can't make it that high in the ranks without attracting attention and being forced to do horrible shit. We can't get the ridiculous amount of support we would need for a coup without attracting attention either. I just don't see how this could work.
>>
>>3911204
Didn't Sabo say that he would try and pull some strings so that we would get a non-shit person to take us under their wing?
>>
>>3910637
>Wait, so there were Revolutionaries in town, you said?

>Avoided Klaus death

>>3911238
It's gonna happen, you know that right? I bet Blackbeard'll somehow pull it off. I'm kidding Blackbeard is a schmuck.
>>
>>3911222
We can't stay under their wing forever if we want to make Fleet Admiral. That also doesn't solve the problem of gathering the support we need without attracting attention.
>>
>>3911267
I like the Fleet Admiral plan because, even tho it’s almost impossible to make work and will probably fail, it feels like a path Flashy would choose.

If it all goes south and he has to change course because of terrible failure? Well, that’s a good story.

If he somehow manages to make the impossible happen through sheer showmen protagonist bullshit, it’ll be even more awesome for the challenge.
>>
>>3911222
>>3911204
Sabo's political fuckery is going to be incredibly important for sure, but I just think it's too soon. My advice is to wait until we can beat Smoboss in a straight 1v1 before we take the leap.
>>
We're pretty much guaranteed not to get Fleet Admiral because the current candidates are so fucking rock solid. I'd say rear admiral if we're lucky and vice admiral at the very best. Highly unlikely we'd make it to actual admiral without having to do something so morally repugnant that we'd snap.
>>
For some reason I’m just imagining Flashy getting high up in the ranks enough to get a meeting with Sengoku, but there’s some delay and he’s running late. So Flashy is just looking at his watch anxiously just as the Fleet Admiral walks in the door, sees our watch, then nearly kills us asking where we got it.
>>
I hope when the time skip happens, we train out Devil fruit and try to become at least a Vice-admiral
>>
>>3911204
But we need attention on us so that when we do flip alot of people will know we left and join us. It gets kind of down played in the actual One Piece story, but Vice Admiral is still a pretty big deal, as we would be at the third highest rank in the Marines and maybe 1 of at most a hundred other elite, similar in strength to Yonko commanders like Ace. If we get popular and followed enough, it will be hard for the World Government to quash what we want to say. We can't stay hidden forever.
>>
>>3911705
I know we need attention and support, but how are we supposed to get it? We can't go around preaching about how horrible the Celestial Dragons are to millions of people without losing our position. The idea that we could obtain absolute loyalty from the millions of marines we would need on our side while keeping our morals intact and hiding our true goal is just silly. But like that other anon said, it's a very Flashy goal. Even when we inevitably fail it'll still be entertaining.
>>
>>3912378
I will only be entertained if we somehow manage to make Akainu say "frumplewumpkins".
>>
We just need to go about being a big damn hero. Saving the innocent and taking down the worst pirates will go a long way to making our name well known. We don't need to preach about the evils of the celestial dragons untill after we leave. But it is imperative that we get people thinking about what the World Gov did to turn the shining Beacon of Justice that is Flashman away from them.

So if we get an order from the higher ups to do bad stuff to people we know for certain are innocent/not deserving, what do we do?
i think, in order to rise up the ranks and get more power and recognition
we have to follow orders and do what we have to do.
because the second we say no to killing people that the world noble wants dead we are killed right on the spot and all our efforts would go to waste.
but know this
every person we kill, every life we ruin, we will never forget them and make that the fuel that drives us to the top to make this world truly JUST!

Subvert the orders.
We've already done it. Multiple times. You think intentionally misinterpreting orders is not the same as just outright disobeying them without saying anything?
