Wealth, fame, power. Gold Roger the king of the pirates obtained this and everything else the world had to offer. And his dying words drove countless souls to the seas.
"You want my treasure? You can have it! I left everything I gathered together in one place. Now you just have to find it!"
Well you're a wanted man and just robbed one of the biggest treasure ships you can find on the sea. You're practically halfway there already! This pirate business is easy!

But even with all that progress you must keep going on. Recently you've entered the climate of a supposed fall island, yet you haven't actually spotted land yet. Must mean the place you're about to visit is pretty big. As for the weather it's actually not that bad. It's decently warm with the occasional cloud offering some shade, must be summer. The only thing bothering you is the wind, which seems to be getting stronger and more frequent as you're getting closer. However it's still too far to get excited so you're forced to occupy yourself which isn't exactly easy.

Flipping through your bible you keep finding interesting stuff, one bit in particular talks about places called Sodom and Gomorrah, cities of scum and villainy where people reveled in sin, haughtiness, egoism and all vices known to man. Now THOSE sound like piratey places! They sound so good in fact that you feel the need to circle their names with crayon and write "Pirate City" next to them and leave a bookmark there for future reference. However before finishing the story regarding them you stop because the letters are starting to blend together. Stretching your back you decide to look around the ship looking for distractions. After a quick check you see that pretty much all of your crewmates are available except Angel because there is a suspicious amount of weird looking smoke coming from her cabin, so it's best not to bother her. That leaves everyone else.

Marcella is in the cargo area counting your treasures, Murray is fishing for seakings with his anchor as bait, Gu is concocting something that could probably wipe an island off the map in the kitchen and Lyda is hiding in the infirmary, doing whatever she does in her spare time.

Lyda hasn't been with you for too long. And while the others are welcoming she's too shy to actually join them so she's still not comfortable on the ship. While you initially disliked her since then she proved herself worthy of admiration (for her amazing card shuffling). So you decide to walk inside the ship and kick down the door to her clinic and loudly announce yourself.
"OY! STITCHES! You wanna help me build a hammock? Hmmm? Where are you?"

You walk over to the operating table where it looks like she was piecing a puzzle together, made out of human bones. Leaning over the table you see her covering and holding her head in fear.
"P-Please go away!"

Grabbing her by the collar you pull her out and and rotate her so she has to face you. But in her fear she just hides her face. And this is the girl that a couple weeks ago had no problem assaulting a World Government ship, patching up or stitching together marines and occasionally looting bodyparts off them. You stare at her and she can feel your gaze burning even through the shielding of her hands. As she squirms in your hand you spare her and set her down on the ground.
"I don't get you..."

"I-I'm just scared. I'm, not used to people."
She fixes her clothing and continues to stare at the ground to avoid eye contact with you.
"W-Why are you here? Do you need a medical attention?"

"Nope. I'm bored. Wanted to play ball with Jaws but Hook doesn't like that."

"Why?"

"Because regular balls pop in my hand so we use cannonballs. She doesn't like the noise. Or the explosions. Or the holes we put in the ship. So I came to check on you. What'cha doing?"

"I-I'm working and-"

"Them bones? You said you want to build a friend. This him?"

"I-I don't know if it's a him yet but yes. I had to start over since you, kinda, erm, burned my lab to the ground. T-That's okay though It's only ten years of work! Nothing major!"
She's crying but she's not sad. More broken than anything. It's really quite comical. Still her work is impressive. Without whole bones to work with she fabricates bits out of wood or other materials to fill the gaps with. Then with some of her Trade powers she can replace the wood or metal with actual bone, making the thing whole again. Apparently she did the same when your kneecaps were blown apart. She removed the shards and fused them back together with the same trick. You keep checking the bones out of curiosity when you feel something rupturing in your body. Lyda gasps as she sees your shirt turning red.
"Y-You're bleeding!"

"Come on again? This is the third time today!"

"S-Silver! This is very serious! People don't bleed like that!"

"They would if they lived like I do."

"I-I'm getting my stuff. I need to do a check-up on you!"

>Ugh. Fine!
>It's fine. Don't worry about it! Just continue with your work and I'll watch
>Other?
>>

Smart choice, though I'm a bit disappointed I can't use the line "Medicine is for weenies"

>>4567435
Yes. I'll leave it up to you to determine if it's actually three or Silver lost count
>>
>>4567430
>"They would if they lived like I do."
Priceless
>>
With an annoyed grunt and a half-hearted "Fine" you wait for Lyda to gather her stuff. Her medic bag has a skull on it, assuring you that she knows what she's doing, yet even the cool design does not detract from the annoyance. She starts ordering you around like an overbearing mom which you hate. Her meekness is gone as she goes full doctor.
"Please undress for the operation!"
You say Okay and get about halfway to taking your pants off when blood rushes to her head and gives it some color. Her composure instantly disappears.
"N-No! Waist up o-only! At least until it becomes necessary."

You shrug and pull your pants back before you unbutton your shirt and remove it, exposing everything above the waist. You want to keep your hat on but she insists that it has to go. She then makes you sit down and whilst standing she starts examining your body. After the first touch she recoils and pauses.
"That bad?"

"N-No. Just not used to w-warmth. And a pulse."
She touches your hand and makes you raise your arm which reveals a cut in your side which is the source of the bleeding.
"W-What? When did you wound yourself like that?"

"I 'unno. Don't remember. All I know is I start bleeding every now and then. So I clench real hard and punch myself until my body behaves."
After standing there silently in disbelief she asks you how long this has been going on.
"Since the ship raid. Gotta say those guys were something else!"

With that Lyda gives you a serious look and after staunching the flow of blood and cleansing the wound she gave you a quick look over. Without her previous hesitation she runs her fingers along your body, turning you around so she can check everything for more wounds. Which she finds.
"Fourteen lacerations, thirty fractures, bones broken in multiple places, strained muscles and too many bruises to count. This is horrible! And it looks like some of them are very old! Who could do such a thing?"

"Most of it was me..."

"No! I mean how could you do this to yourself? You're running your body ragged! Letting your body heal is very important Silver!"

She rummages through her bag for some supplies and grabs from the shelves what she's lacking. You're forced to drink bitter medicine which supposedly helps slow down bleeding while she does the rest herself. The wounds too big to leave alone she staples together and the rest she bandages up. With dexterous fingers she pushes your bones back in place, which actually hurts quite a bit. And finally she has you lay down so she can work the lumps out of your muscles with hand... or a hammer when it proves to be too difficult. That actually makes you scream. Once everything is popped back in place, cleaned, treated, sutured and bound you feel like crying but don't. Instead you keep sniffling like a big boy.
"Doctors are scary! Doctors are scary! Doctors are scary!"

if his heart stopped beating he'd just say "blood circulation is for weenies" and keep walking around while dead through sheer willpower

>>
As you keep clutching the sheets and holding back your tears Lyda is busy washing her hands and packing her stuff away.
"That's what happens when you don't go to a doctor. Your wounds will keep reopening if you don't let them heal. I don't know how you could walk with all that but sooner or later it would overwhelm you."

"Nuh-uh!"

"Yes."

"No!"

She sighs and sits down next to you while you lay on your stomach. You feel her staring at your back.
"Y-You know this thing is... rather ugly. And made finding wounds harder."

"But it looks cool."

"What is it anyway? And what are those letters?"

"It's a bat. And those are you guys. I had Angel write you on there as well."

"M-Me?"

"Yup."
Despite not seeing her you still know she's blushing very hard right now.
"You're our crewmember now. That means you're part of the team. And I'll carry you on my back if I have to."

Lyda is now starting to comprehend the kind of willpower you're operating at. And despite it being technically pseudo science she knows full well how a man can keep fighting for minutes even when fatally wounded through sheer determination. She almost envies you.
"T-Then... I suppose I should do all I can as well. To support you!"

"What do you mean?"

"Erm... I don't know. I-I could teach you... or considering your physique, perhaps I could develop powerful drugs that'd kill a normal person."

"E-Erm... roll over please!"

You do as you're told but stop halfway as pain shoots through your body. Lyda instantly becomes worried and helps you slowly shift position without excess discomfort. But rather than withdrawing her hands she lingers there and starts prodding you. You feel awkward and weird with someone in prolonged contact with your skin like that.

"This is your ribcage-"
Lyda runs her fingers along your chest heading downward.
"These bones protect your lung and heart. It's what you breathe with, what pumps your blood. This is the shoulder, and these are your strong arms. The tough part is your bones, the soft is the muscle and it's all encased in skin. We go down and this is your-"
She pauses and gulps.
"Your abdomen. Underneath all these muscles are your stomach here, your intestines here. They help you digest food."
She continues pressing you down in certain places. It's... weird but not unpleasant.
"This is your liver, your kidney and your gall. They are there to extract all the bad stuff from the things you eat. You see Silver? The body is a complex thing. Many small parts working together to make great things happen. All do one specific thing but all are needed for everything to work."

"Like a ship."

"I-I guess. I mean, yes! Just like a ship! See? You need to take care of yourself just like you take care of us."

"I see."
You reach down and brush your hand against Lydas as you tap your own stomach.
"Hmmmm. I understand now."

But while you don't particularly care about that brief exchange Lyda gets flustered by it.
"A-And if we move lower o-oh. Oh no. I erm, lower is, uh, that's enough for now! Up here is your brain! This trail on your back is the spine which leads to the brain! These are the two things you must protect more than any other! Do you understand?"
You nod.
"G-Good! Anyway here are some homemade pills! It helps lessen the pain and helps closing the wounds! Make sure to not move too much or they might reopen!"
She then forces you to stand up and pushes you out the door before locking it behind you. She can be heard sliding down against the wall and sighing with relief.

You knock on the door.
"I uh. I left my suit in. Stitches? Lyda?"
No answer.
"Okay then."

You leave to get some fresh air. Upon going outside you wander aimlessly around for a bit before Murray notices you. He briefly looks away from his fishing pole and his trusty anchor to check you out.
"Silver what happened to you? Fell off the stairs again?"

"No. Stitches turned me into a sushi roll."

"Ah. Well good. If the doctor says you need to be bandaged up you better listen."

"Yeah yeah. Anything happen while I was down?"

"Nope Cap'. Nothing bit yet. But maybe- oh. Hey check it out! A News Coo! Strange. Didn't we receive the news already?"
You look up and see the bird in question flapping its wings and slowly descending. It lands on the ships railing and gives you a salute. That's a bit odd since they usually don't really care about who they meet first, they just drop off the papers, demand payment and promptly leave. But this one seems to have been looking for you. It takes out an envelope with its wings and hands it over to you. It doesn't even ask for any money and just gives you another salute before taking off to continue its routes.
"Oho! Looks like you got a letter Silver! And it was pre-paid! What did you get?"

"Don't know. It has a stamp on it though."

"A- WHAT?!"

"See? It's sealed. Smells nice. And has three little dots on it."

"Three... Open it immediately!"

You do with great interest and skim through the contents of the letter. You don't really get it but one thing is clear.
"They are inviting me to a party. Shich-something."

"GIVE IT HERE!"
Murray rushes to you and snatches the envelope out of your hands. His hands are shaking and he's choking as he reads it.
"I don't believe it... EVERYONE! COME HERE! SILVER WAS INVITED TO BE A WARLORD!"
Suddenly everyone bursts out of the ship, completely abandoning whatever they were doing, except Angel who's probably too "busy" to have heard anything. They want to know what that's about or if it's a prank. Jaws clarifies things quickly, to you and everyone else.
"Silver. This is serious! This letter... is straight from the World Government. They are offering you a position in the Royal Shichibukai! They want you to replace Sir Crocodile!"

"Cool. What does that mean?"

"It means... we all get pardoned for everything. Our bounties get frozen and we become affiliates of the Government. That means we'd have to pay taxes for everything we plunder but that aside you could continue being a pirate..."

"Neat."

"This, is, AMAZING!"
Hook shouts.
"Silver! This is our big chance! From now on we'll be on easy street!"

"I-Incredible. Does this mean we won't have to fight marines anymore?"
Stitches also seems positively thrilled about this.

"That's a great opportunity Silver. We would have the governments resources at our disposal. And we wouldn't even have to give much in return."
Even Gu seems to be on board with the idea.

You look at Jaws who simply closed his eyes and refuses to make a comment. Well, this is a no brainer. Taking out one of your crayons you scribble your answer onto the envelope and fly after the News Coo so that it could return your letter to the Government. It takes a while because you don't want your fresh bandages to be stained with blood but you do manage and return to your ship. The others are patting your back and tell you how proud they are that you made the right choice.

"Yeap! It wasn't easy but I did manage to draw a willy there!"

"W-What?!"
"W-What?!"
"W-What?!"

"I think it turned out great! Gave it a smiley face and made it say "No". Pretty great response if I do say so myself!"

Marcella starts immediately strangling you while Gu has to fan Lyda because she fainted. But you just keep smiling even as your head is turning blue because you already won. Naturally Murray is laughing his ass off at all this. So much so that he almost forgets about his prized anchor. He quickly goes to retrieve it as the lure starts bobbing but when he pulls the thing out he finds nothing there but a single anchovy. As he's looking at his catch with great annoyance he notices something which warrants a break in your shenanigans.

"Hey! Everyone! LAND HO!"

It appears that you finally got close enough that the place became visible. Marcella stops choking you long enough to draw the map you stole from the Marines. This island is still displayed on it but it's the last one. Apparently it's called Windy-Windy Land. Nobody ever accused Grand Line islands of being creative, but when they have such a descriptive name it's not for nothing. Indeed when you get closer you start feeling wild typhoon like winds which push and pull you seemingly at random, which makes approaching the island nearly impossible. Still when you take the helm you do manage to find a channel to safely pass through and it just so happens to lead you to a big settlement surrounded by massive metal walls which are obviously meant to block the winds.

However when you start getting close to port a small boat with no sails approaches you QUITE fast. It's also loud as hell with some strange contraption on its rear sticking in the water. The people riding it waste no time threatening you.
"PIRATES! You are not welcome here! Either leave or put down your weapons! If you refuse we'll sink your ship! Don't make try anything! Every cannon in the city is aimed at you right now!"

>Okay we won't cause any trouble

"Don't worry we're not here to cause trouble! Right guys?"
You motion to your crewmembers who are obligated to agree with the captains decision. The local guards seem to like this.

"Right. Follow us to the port. But no funny business or else!"

Their loud boat turns around and moves away from you. By the looks of it the thing has some sort of mechanism in the rear which makes it go very fast. Neat. You follow them obediently and dock where they point you to. After anchoring down and making your way to port the local authorities already have you surrounded. They have many guns aimed at you and even more at the ship. Good thing you didn't start any trouble because this could've gotten ugly. The same two dudes who came to you with the boat arrive and escort all of you to the harbor master while the other guards are preparing to investigate your ship. Naturally you give them a thinly veiled threat that if they steal anything or do anything to your ship there will be problems but they mostly ignore you.

As you enter the officials shack he takes a good look at you before he starts interrogating you.
"Name?"

"Silver. And we're the Silver Pirates!"

"Ship name?"

"The Dauntless."

"And the purpose of your stay?"

"To spend ALL THIS MONEY!"

You swing a briefcase around and slam it down on his table. As it opens up the mans jaw hits the ground. It takes him a while to collect himself but then he quickly crosses out the rest of his papers and gives it a stamp of approval. With a smile he hands over a permit to you.
"So you'll be staying here for an undetermined amount of time yes? We hope you'll enjoy your stay! Anything else we can do for you?"

"Ah yes. Make sure our ship is in good care! And that nobody gets on it!"
You slide over a few 10.000 bills which he happily takes and tells you that he has it all under control. After that he lets you leave the place without any further trouble.

"Well that went better than expected."
Murray observes as he's looking around the place. It's a fairly industrial town with complex machinery nearly everywhere. Besides that it seems that the place is mostly covered in sand.
"But why does this place have to be a dessert island as well? Can't we find a nice and humid place for once?"

"Well at least it's not as hot here."
You respond.
"Alright! Looks like we got an entire new island! You know what that means?"

"Yeap! Alright everyone let's get shopping! I want a new sword!"

The others lead you around until you get to the shopping district at which point everyone goes their own way, except Marcella who sticks close to you and helps you with shopping. Aside restocking on daily necessities like food, water and other essentials you also go to a weaponsmith and present your former sword to him. Stock swords are cool to have but having something with a bit of personality definitely improves your combat effectiveness. You pay him a hefty sum to reforge a new blade from what few scraps you could collect and get told that in about a day your new blade will be ready. Which is surprising considering how the entire place is automated, but apparently the smith is very occupied as he's not only making weapons but machine parts for pretty much the entire city.

The others also do their own little window shopping. They all get new clothing befitting high profile, infamous pirates. Meaning similar clothes but higher quality with more bling. Aside that Gu got himself some exotic ingredients, poisons and a pair of metal chopsticks. Angel replaced her old spear with a purely metallic one and also get a few other tools useful for hunting like knives and a blowgun. Stitches blew her allowance on medical supplies and books. While Jaws bought some very heavy dumbells as well as some "exotic magazines".

"You sure you don't want anything Hook?"

"Nah. The new clothes are enough. I'm saving for something."

"What?"

"I don't know yet. But it has to be something special for sure."

"We didn't attack that ship for nothing. The whole point of money is to spend it!"

"I guess you're right. Maybe I'll buy some stuff to help us navigate like maps, sea charts and other things. Who knows, after that stunt of yours we might become the first pirates in Paradise who can freely terrorize all of it."

You keep strolling while discussing things until you hear a voice coming from high up.
"HAHAHA! Did I hear PIRATES? Then prepare yourselves fellow sea dogs! Our battle will be legendary!"

Other pirates? Here? Well no rest for the wicked it seems. But it's still pretty ballsy to just pick a fight like that in broad daylight and for no reason. Marcella is already reaching for her bat without needing to say a word and you just grin.
"A challenge? Bring it!"

"YAHOO!"

The voice comes from above, the noon sun blinds you and leaves you unable to look at your assailant. However it doesn't look like that's much of an issue as you hear a loud THUD as the figure jumps down. Looking at the ground you see the lower half of a tiny man sticking out of the ground. You walk up to him and yank him out of the ground by his ankles. The small figure just blinks at you with his big eyes.

"Hi."
You set him down and let him stand up. It's a boy wearing regular boy clothes, using a plank and a wooden board as a makeshift sword and shield. He's also wearing a saucepan on his head but his head appears to be stuck in it after hitting the ground. And another interesting detail to make out: He pulled a pair of black panties over the saucepan. It has a jolly roger on it. Cute.
"Thanks for pulling me out! I messed that one up. Anyway, YARR I'M A MIGHTY PIRATE! Give me your treasure!"

"Hi. I'm Silver!"

"Oh. Sorry! I'm Will! Now give me your treasure!"

>>
>>4568847
Don't know. First image I got off google image search (I think it might be from Wikipedia)
Now I'm not a big sword nut but I know the messer and the most defining part of that is the handle. The blade is sandwiched between two pieces of wood, held in place by rivets (thus qualifying as a knife which was used as a loophole for German blacksmiths to bypass the "commoners can't wield swords" law)
The sword in the image clearly has a proper handle

>>4568601
Ah I see we have a wiseman among us. Yes, the pirate themed panties are significant

"NO! A pirate never gives up his treasure! It's hidden safely in my ship and you'll have to go through me to get it!"
You retort and already start rolling up your sleeve as the boy responds.

"Oooooh! You're a pirate too? Sorry, didn't know we're on the same team! Thought you're a marine. Because I'm the only one who ever picks pirate."

You nod You feel him deeply, his feelings you feel deeply.
"Too many marines, not enough pirates."

"Right? It's not fun that way-"
But as you continue conversing with Will the boys and your ears prick up as you hear many footsteps approaching. The boy gets nervous and starts tugging on your sleeve.
"Oh poop! It's the feds! Quick we gotta hide!"

This you don't get.
"Why?"

"Because they'll spank our butts if we don't you dummy! That's how Pirates and Marines works! Don't you know?"

"No?"

The boy becomes nervous and doesn't waste his time explaining to you, instead he runs into an alley and climbs into an empty barrel that's just lying there. He falls over on his first attempt so after he crawls inside you turn the barrel up so it's standing once more. As you do the source of the footsteps finally arrive and you're faced with quite a group. About half a dozen "marines" armed with paper tubes duct taped together into rifles and wooden swords.

"HEY YOU! CITIZEN!"
One of them points at you.
"We require your help! We're chasing a stinky pirate! Have you seen one running this way?"

>Don't say anything. You're not a narc
>Of course I have. He's me.

"Of course I've seen one! He's me!"

You tap your own chest. At first the kids aren't too sure about how to react to that but then they become quite happy.
"Really?"

"Yes!"

They become overly joyful and exchange high fives all around that they finally found someone and how much better the game will be with two people being pirates as opposed to one. However they quickly go back to serious mode and point their wooden swords at you.
"Alright pirate! We are the marines and you've been caught! Prepare for justice!"

"Okay. How do I prepare for justice?"

"Erm..."
They look at each other nervously.
"We don't know. Never had a pirate tall as you. Guess you need to kneel so we can tie your hands?"

"Uh-huh."

>Grab a stick off the ground and fend them off. No marine will take you without a fight!

running into a dead end on purpose?
>>
You start chuckling to yourself and step on a stick that's laying on the ground next to you. As the piece of wood twirls in the air you snatch it and point it at the kids.
"What kind of game is this? A pirate has to surrender if you capture them? That's silly. No. A real pirate never kneels! He'll fight tooth and nail until the last breath! So... if you want to capture me then COME ON! I AM THE MIGHTY PIRATE SILVER! AND YOU'LL NEVER CATCH ME!"

You throw the stick at them, bonking a child on the head before turning tail and running.
"AFTER THAT SPEECH YOU'RE RUNNING AWAY?!"
The kids shout after you. Going in the alleyway you pick up the barrel Will is in and carry it in your arms while blowing raspberries at the "marines". Will not knowing what's going on pops his head out of the barrel to observe things. The others notice this.
"It's the other pirate! AFTER THEM!"

"SILVER YOU IDIOT! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"
Marcella also shouts after you and they start chasing you but thanks to their stubby little legs they can't hope to catch you. Should've grown up dweebs! Or at least you think because they obviously know the place better than you and they manage to pull of a pincer maneuver and cut off your escape. Stuck in an alleyway with little children behind and in front of you. No way other than up you kick yourself off a nearby wall and manage to wall jump onto the roofs. The little kids can do nothing but stare at you with jaws hanging open.

Running on the rooftops a little while longer until you can no longer hear the children down there you stop and set the barrel down before sitting next to it. Will pokes his head out of it once more and his eyes look like spirals, probably he'll throw up soon. But he does his best to hang on, only letting out a few gurgles before collecting himself.
"That, was, AWESOME! You went like YOU'LL NEVER CATCH ME and A REAL PIRATE NEVER GOES DOWN WITHOUT A FIGHT! And then, and then you jumped into the sky! WHOOOOOO!"
And that's the point where he spontaneously looses his lunch. You pat him on the back a few times until his enthusiasm abates. But this doesn't really break his spirit and he's back on his feet in seconds.
"Hey mister! You sure like pirates don't you? It feels good because I'm the only one in the orphanage that likes them! Everyone else wants to be a marine when they grow up!"

>Of course I like pirates! I am one!
>You want to be a pirate when you grow up?

"Of course I like pirates! I am one!"

"Yup! You sure are mister! Never seen someone play a pirate quite like that!"

"Don't call me mister! I'm not that old! You make me sound like one of those grumpy grown ups! Anyway, what's an orphanage? Isn't that where babies are made?"

"Huh? I don't know about that-"

"Well you see I heard people go there to get kids. So that's where they must be made. Is there a big conveyor belt or are they hand crafted? And where do they get the meat from? How do they put the meat together better than Stitches?"

"Erm. That must be something else. The orphanage is where we live. Bunch of kids live there, smaller ones, bigger ones. If a kid looses their parent they get put in an orphanage. We all lost ours..."

"Oh. You lost them? Well I hope you find them one day!"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LtHw4EWxjg

"No mister. My mom and dad are gone. The grown ups said they died when the sand sailors attacked. I was left alone and they put me in the orphanage to watch over me."
Will looks up at the sky.
"I was very sad at first. I missed mom and dad a lot so I cried a bunch. But the old lady at the orphanage was very kind! She took care of me and helped me until I stopped crying. I still missed mom and dad but didn't cry. That's when I found out about pirates and how cool they were! I heard stories about them and thought that people that cool probably are never sad. So I decided to be a pirate when I grow up! To be strong as they are!"

"Must've been lonely being the only pirate fan."

"Yup! But cool pirates need nobody! The others could be marines all they wanted but I didn't care... though our new caretaker also likes pirates!"

"New caretaker?"

"The old lady she took care of us died recently. So we got a new one!"
The boy starts blushing and his face distorts into a more monkey like one.
"And this one is a lot hotter! This is her panty that I stole! See how awesome she is! She even has a pirate flag on her undies! Wanna meet her? She also loves pirates! It's supposed to be our little secret but I think I can share with another pirate!"

"Sure! It's always nice to meet new people! Especially if they like pirates!"

"YAHOO! Okay follow me- uuh.
Can you take me down first?"

"Oh? Sure."

You let the little guy on your back and jump down. After that little stunt you let him guide you around the place towards the orphanage. On the way there he goes out of his way to greet everyone on the streets from the pedestrians to the merchants. Seems like he's very popular, or at least beloved.
"Hey William still playing pirate?"

"Yeap!"

As you reach the place you read a big sign reading "Sunflower Orphanage". It's relatively small but seems to be kept in good condition. Still if all those kids you saw were from here this might be a bit too tight of a fit. Granted your idea of adequate room is nothing short of the world itself so you're a poor judge in that regard but still. Will takes the lead and slams the door open without any regard for its integrity.
"I'M HOME!"
There is no answer. But Will goes on in so you do the same. He starts rummaging in the fridge for juice and brings you a box as well.

As you get comfy and sit down you hear a voice coming from inside.
"Where could it be? Where could it be? Not again... WILL!"

"Uh-oh."

"I told you didn't I? Don't take it or you'll stretch it! I'll go and buy some paint tomorrow I swear!"

"Kay!"

Then you hear more rummaging.
"Sigh. How many bandaids now?"

"None! I didn't trip this time!"

"And how many times were you caught?"

"None!"

"Wow. Progress! Well I'll still have to take a look at you to make sure you're not lying again so-"
But as the source of the voice enters you hear clattering, as if something heavy was dropped. As you turn to look you see a medical box with its contents all over the place and someone standing over it, frozen in place. It's clearly a lady judging by her high heels, or another one of those men who like to dress funny. As your eyes trail upward however things start to bother you a bit. Where have you seen those clothes before? And is that a cross?

As soon as you see the ladies face however all things become clear. You violently spit your juice in Wills face before pointing forward and shouting, at which point the lady does the same.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?!"
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?!"
>>
It's Sister Ann! What is she doing here? How did she get here? And most importantly why is she reaching for that kettle?
BONK
You fall out of your chair and require a bag of ice to help nursing your new bump. After a lengthy series of apologies you are allowed to sit back in your chair at which point the interrogation can begin.

"I'M SO SORRY SILVER! I was just a bit, shocked is all!"

"That's okay. Though my doctor said I should watch out not to get hurt... Anyway how did you get here Sister Ann?"

Will is glancing at both of you not knowing what is going on.
"You two know each other?"

"Y-Yes Will! Silver and I met once before. In fact he might be the reason why I'm here in the first place."
Okay now you are confused as well.
"See Silver, after Gang Town was erm... liberated the papers assumed I was the one who did it despite telling them every time it was a pirate who pacified the gangs. So uh, the church was very impressed with me. They made me undertake some trials and appointed me as Mother Ann. Then the Navy was kind enough to bring me here through the Calm Belt. Now it's my job to watch over this orphanage."

"Hmmm that little church?"

"N-No! Our church is a bit bigger than that. We have temples on many islands and operate just as many orphanages! In fact we work very closely with the government. They help us travel between islands and with upkeeping the orphanages. In return we sing their praises."

"Ah. I see. Good for you!"

"H-Hah! So you're not mad?"

"Why would I be? You're not happy here?"

"Oh I am! I love the children here! At first they didn't really accept me but they came around. Especially little William here! He's such a good boy!"
She then takes off Wills pot and pats him on the head.

"Then that's good! If they put you in a place where you're not happy because of me I'd be mad!"

Ann chuckles a little.
"I see. You've matured a little but you're the same Silver alright!"

At this point Will is looking around even more confused.
"Wait. I don't get it. Mother said she left her home because someone beat up the bad guys at her home! You did that? Who are you mister?"

"His name is Silver! And he's a pirate!"

"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!"
>>
And I'm sorry but I'll have to end here.
This ended up kinda weak because I kinda sorta forgot about the Vergil DLC dropping today so it kinda absorbed me.
Anyways next session we may learn more about Sister Anns journey here and the "troubles" of the island where things should pick up a bit

I'll try running Thursday next. Friday is off because I'm planning on getting shitfaced to celebrate my last workday this year.
After that however I will go into fucking overdrive before Christmas
Have a good night!

Oh man I've finally made it to the timeskip. This has been really fun so far, and I'm glad this quest made me finally pick it up. Some of the new designs I'm not a big fan of, but I'm looking forward to it. Although that does make me curious what we're going to do once we arrive at that point.
>>
>>4572392
Personally Zoro's outfit post timeskip is kinda lame.
>>
>>4572509
Zoro's is whatever, not the best, not the worst. Just kinda meh to me. I like Usopp, Nami is fine, Sanji is pretty similar, same for Luffy. I'm not a big fan of Chopper, mostly because of his hat, I'm not a fan of Robin's hair, and Franky is completely different.
>>
>>4572542
Yeah Chopper got an explicit downgrade. Franky had a fever dream and it inspired him to build an extra chin.
>>
>>4572593
Franky would look better if his torso didn't resemble a bloated corpse that's been stitched closed.
>>
>>4572542
Oh I forgot to mention Brook. He's fine, I prefer his original design but there's nothing wrong with the new one.
>>
>>4572392
Yeah Chopper is a travesty. He goes from a bipedal reindeer to a cartoon. His other forms also go from menacing to goofy
Franky was always ridiculous but I did prefer when he had skin covering metal instead the other way around.
And Robin lost her God Damn TAN! Why? I know why but why did it have to happen and why isn't it back yet?

The rest are fine. I even like boobmonster Nami because she always had nice tiddies
Oh and Usopp. Literal virgin to chad.
>>
>>4572392
And uuuh. I do have three or four possible scenarios already worked out after Shabaody. Naturally it all depends on the choices you make leading up to that point so they are up to change and might need to make a few more.
Like choosing whether to participate in the paramount war or not is a big one
>>
>>4572934
Yea I agree with most of these. Didn't realize Robin had a tan, but yea that does sound a bit lame.
>>4572941
I think that depends on if we become rivals/allies with Luffy or one of the Whitebeard pirates. Or who knows, maybe one of our crewmates or one of us end up in Impel, and we end up tagging along? I guess there's lots of factors to it, and we won't know till we're there.
>>
>>4572941
I want to see silver fight in the paramount war and see how whitebeard likes getting whitemustache
>>
>>4572952
we're probably going into impel down to bust out jimbei. like he'll we will let him rot in prison before our rematch
>>
>>4572941
>>4572952
>>4573201
We literelly can't NOT fight in the Paramount War, it's not an option. The sheer concentrated insanity involving so many people, 3 admirals, several current and former warlords, several transvestites and escaped convicts, a clown, a crocodile, a duo of Emperor, and our heated rival all translate into Silver gravitating toward it.

>>4573211
>tfw some dude you met once is stupid enough to bust into a maximum security prison, all just to get a chance at fighting you
>>
>>4573254
>Man breaks into prison to celebrate his friend's birthday
We need to turn Silver into the Floridaman of One Piece.

>>4573297
>Local man fights a shark over a case of giant crabs

>Local man robs the mafia to steal their fashion sense
>>
>>4573211
That's actually not bad
I was looking to fight a way to both give you a reason to join the Paramount War while not feeling like you are strong armed to join. (i.e. I wouldn't do an Ace and endanger someone you care about)
But Silver joining one of the worst wars of history JUST to make sure a guy he wants to beat the shit out of doesn't die by someone elses hand is very Silvery.

"Laboon, I'm sorry. But a real homie would understand. Right?"
>>
>>4573347
>>4573351
I'm not going to lie, I kinda want to take Brook with us instead. The only reason I'm sorta against it is because he wouldn't know how Laboon is doing. And if we did learn who the whale was, and explained what we saw, he'd probably dislike the Strawhats.
>>
>>4573396
You'd need to pull off some substantial fuckery to do that, not to mention the butterfly effect of messing with Thriller Bark would do.

But it's possible if you find a way or a reason to enter the Florian Triangle
>>
>>4573614
Just sail into it full speed and the promise of vine
>>
>>4573340
Not really sure if Jinbei should be Silver's reason to enter, but I can see Jaws going with that reasoning.

If anything, Silver's reason for entering would be that there's no better place to make a name for himself then the greatest clusterfuck of all time.
>>
>>4573614
We may end up at Water 7 via Sea Train, and I think we'll arrive first since Skypiea takes a bit of time, and they end up dealing with Foxy for half a day.
Even if we do arrive at the same time or a bit before them, they spend a lot of time at Water 7, then go to Enies Lobby.
>>
>>4573396
I can see why you'd say that, but at the same time I couldn't really imagine anyone else with them. Best we nab our own eclectic crew and unique crew instead

Will is practically shaking right now as he's looking at you and it's hard to tell if his eyes are about to twinkle from being starstruck or if he's about to become lethargic due to you not living up to his perceived image of a "cool pirate". So instead he turns to Ann for answers.
"So he's a real pirate?"

"Correct!"
Ann goes to a drawer and takes out a piece of paper from it which she shows to the little boy.
"See? He has a bounty of 20 million even though he started out not too long ago! Pretty impressive isn't it?"

"Yup! That be me!"

"He was actually the one that beat up that evil old lady I told you about! Speaking of which, how is Murray doing Silver?"

"Jaws? He's fine."

"What a relief! And dear Marcella?"

"Fine."

"How regrettable. I prayed that she'd be claimed by a Sea King. Or a herd of sea cucumbers take pity on her sorry existence and adopt her as one of their own."

As Ann is trying to catch with what you've been up to Will also chimes in after he managed to fight off his nervousness.
"Hey hey! What sorta stuff you did? You know at sea?"

"I don't know. Pirate stuff?"

"WHOOOOA!"

Mother Ann gently touches the boys head to calm him down.
"Now now William. You shouldn't bother others. I'm sure Silver will gladly tell you about his adventures later. But as our guest we must be hospitable first and foremost! So Silver, if we could be of any assistance all you need to do is ask."

>Now that you mention it I don't know much about the island. What's it like? How long it takes for the log to set?

Kek

"Yeah. Now that you mention it I don't know much about the island. Usually we go to a bar and ask around or start a fight and we go from there. That step was kinda skipped."

"Still the trouble makers huh? That's fine."
Ann takes a cigarette out and lights it before continuing.
"So. What would you be interested in?"

You ask her more about the general layout of the island and she delivers information in spades. It's called Windy-Windy Island for a reason, as the winds here never ever stop. They change direction, strengthen, weaken or move somewhere else. But the fact of the matter is that there are storms of wind on the island that have been going for, well, since before people lived here. And while some of them do migrate from time to time, and even then they still don't abate, some of them are permanent and stay in one place for all time. They are so reliable that if you're good you can use the wind either as a landmark or to measure time with, it's so nuts. The people in the town however don't really like this for obvious reasons. They built the giant walls around the town for the sake of protection. They keep the winds out and the various particles it carries which could flay a man where they stand if it's one of the stronger air currents. A testimony to this is the fact that the outer sides of the walls have a mirror sheen. But it's not all bad as the technologically advanced town also harnesses the wind to generate energy. So luckily the locals manage to keep themselves safe with their machinery and exploit the land safely. But they can't really expand easily.

Ann then looks at Will with a concerned look.
"William dear could you bring us some lemonade? I'm parched after all that talking. I'll let you ask Silver about piracy after!"

"YIPPEEE!"

"Okay. The sugar is pretty high up so he'll take a while. Listen, there is something else but I didn't want William to hear it. But the people in the city aren't the only ones living on the island."

"Hmmm?"

"The world government colonized the island several years ago. But the old natives still live on the island. Williams parents... were killed by the natives."
>>
"So they are bad guys?"

"I, wouldn't call them that. Their way of life is just different. They lived here long before anyone else and learned how to live with the dangers of the land. Then their new neighbors come and they hide away from them, and in doing so disrupt the nature of the island or so they think. Not to mention they aren't the only ones at fault. They are nomads who live on large, flat landships that move around with the wind. And they usually move around with wooden boards with sails on them. As such it happened before that... some of their children were thrown into a wind generator and they died."

"Hmmmm. So nobody likes anybody. Got it."

"I tried to reach out to them, maybe share the ideas of our church but it didn't work out. Their own culture and beliefs clash with everything I have. It's so frustrating! I get to see the Sunflower House fill up and know that the same is happening on the other side!"

As you're talking Will finally comes in with the lemonade you were promised. Both you and Ann try it but only you finish it without spitting it out because Will confused sugar with salt. As you're done with your drink you thank him. He's about to start asking things from you when you suddenly hear knocking on the door. After about a second it bursts open, revealing an angry Marcella on the other side.
"Oh hey Hook! How did you find me?"

"I went in the direction where my head was hurting! WHY did you leave me in a city neither of us know?!"
Before you could answer however eyecontact is made between Marcella and Ann which has the expected result. Sparks fly off between them as they glare at each other.

"You..."
"You..."

"So will want to hear some pirate stories? Because this will take a while."

"U-Uh-huh."
He nervously nods as he can't help but look at the unfolding cat-fight behind your back. Profanities are flying left and right unbecoming of both a nun AND a seasoned criminal. You hear name calling, growling and the ripping of fabric. When you realize that Will won't be able to hear you like that you turn around.

"Stop that! Both of you!"
Ann and Hook stop pulling on each others hair and clothes to look at you.
"Marcella is actually nice! She's always there for me when my brain don't work! So please be nice to her! Nuns are meant to be nice no? And Hook! No crewmate of mine will attack a friend of God! Because he's awesome! NOW! It's story time!"

Marcella blushes and tries to change the subject by mumbling something.
"S-Since when do you know what a brain is?"

Meanwhile Ann just releases her and takes a few steps away. She doesn't bother to fix her dress and just sits down as she is.
"Ahem. I may have gone overboard. My apologies."
Then she whispers.
"You're still a harlot though-"

With that settled you tell the young Will about the adventures you had on the Grand Line. About getting in a fight due to soup, the cool crew members you managed to get, oh and of course big crabs. Those are important. He listens intently to everything even the nasty parts about sailing for weeks in horrible conditions, sometimes without taking a bath or, God forbid, drinking milk. He seems to quite enjoy it all even beyond the point where the others just sorta gave up. Ann went out for a smoke and Marcella is busy counting cracks in the wall while you're still going on.

"And I kid you not I punched him in the peepee! Funniest stuff I've ever seen! HE HAD A HIGH VOICE LIKE THIS!"

Will laughter fills the orphanage, it even spills out onto the streets where it makes a few passerby's wonder just what the hell is going on inside. As the little boy stops he looks up at you and his eyes start watering.
"Man. Pirates are as cool as I thought!"

"Nope! A lot of them are weenies! But we are strong!"
You bump your chest, forgetting about your bandages and end up coughing a whole bunch as a result. But it doesn't seem to bother Will, in his mind you are already beyond reproach, the coolest of the cool.

But his excitement disappears as quick as it appeared. Yet his eyes are still tearing up.
"When I go out to sea I bet I'll be just as cool."

"Well what's keeping you?"

"I still have a lot of things to do. Besides I can't leave Mother Ann. If I'm gone she'll be the only pirate fan left. Can't have that."
Will sounds sad but his expression is telling a different story. He can just barely keep himself from frowning. He's angry.
>>
You nod even though you don't understand. If he wants to be a pirate then he should just be a pirate. It's that simple. Well whatever. You stand up and tell the boy that you want some fresh air so you head out to Ann. Looking at her you see the cigarette in her hand is almost burnt up and it's just a long stick of ash now.
"Hey Silver-"

"Yes?"

"What do you think of William?"

"Cool kid!"

"Yes. Very cool. I have a soft spot for him as well. And I'm afraid he'll do something dumb one day. You see he never forgot about his parents. And who could blame him? But the way he sometimes talks about the wind nomads, it's not something a child should be saying."

"What sort of stuff?"

"The kind a nun shouldn't be saying either. I-"
She pauses to think about how to phrase what she wants to say.
"Your log pose should set in about two weeks. Would you mind visiting him in that time? The other kids don't involve him in anything unless it's Pirates and Marines due to his different "taste". I think it would do good for him to have a friend."

"Yeah sure! I can take him shopping or on adventures!"

"P-Please stick to shopping if possible."

"Yeah. You're probably right. His tiny legs would get tired quick and I'd have to carry him on my back."

"T-That's not-"
As Ann tries to explain things to you Marcella comes flying out the door and strikes your head with her baseball bat and tells Ann that she'll thank her later.

"Okay. No adventures! Got it! But I will come and hang out with him!"

Ann suddenly wraps her arms around your shoulders and pulls you in for a big hug. As she squeezes your head you can definitely hear her heart racing. She thanks you from the bottom of her heart. Then she keeps you there for a few seconds more than necessary before letting you go.

You give her an okay handsign and look back at Marcella.
"Hook! Let's go find the others I think I had enough for one day."

"Aye aye."

As you start gathering your weapons Will sees you packing and rushes out.
"Are you leaving?"

"Yeap! But tomorrow I'll come back!"
You take off your tricorn and put it on his head.
"Keep this warm for me until then!"

You wave Ann and the kid goodbye and enter the city only to remember that you don't know where you are, nor do you know where everyone else is. Then again making them come to you is pretty easy, just make enough noise and they'll know where you are. But the question is where do you want to spend the night. Hook gives you a few options beside the obvious, which is the ship.

"Why not a bar? Bars ALWAYS WORK OUT!"

"Last time I was in a bar I almost got violated."

"Almost! So it worked out!"

You set out in search of a decent watering hole which proves to be rather easy. After turning into a bat you locate the closest source of singing and head there. True enough it does lead you to a bar but it's nowhere near the usually vibrant and fun places you've become used to. It looks almost identical to the other bars you've been to but the people in there are content just solemnly sitting while the musician is playing something sad.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59ngH1vdTx4

"Come on man! Can we get some pirate shanties already?"
One of the patrons says with great annoyance.
"One more marine song and I'll slit me throat!"

"Shut up! What kind of a bastard would play PIRATE songs?!"

Obviously they don't like your kind but the owner must appreciate bellies. So you enter despite Marcellas protest. She asks you how will the others find you like this. And the answer is simple! You walk up to the owner and sit on one of the stools. Sniffing the air you smell something nice being cooked.
"Hey mister! What's this smell?"

"Todays special. Lombardy custard. It's a pie with dates and bone marrow."

"Isn't a date something you go on?"

"Nono. It's these fruits that grow on the island. I assure you they are quite good!"

"Hmmmm. Then I'll try one! And prepare like six more! Oh and I want a jug of milk for starters!"

The owner nods and you start loudly devouring your meal. Whatever unholy sounds leave your mouth disgust even the most steel stomached of the patrons. Only Hook can even stand listening to you scarfing the pie down. The idea is that your feasting will alert your crewmates to your location. However it also does attract unwanted attention as a rather large man sits down next to you. He glances at your food and you stare back at him, as if to ask if he's looking for trouble. But instead he just turns to the owner.

"Oy bartender! I'll have what he's having! And some ale!"
He does get one of your pies which irritates you quite a bit but you are still too busy eating to put him in his place yet. With similar fervor to yours the old guy manages to devour his own custard even faster than you. In the end you both manage to finish at the exact same time. Gasping for air you speak up at the same time.
"HEY OLD MAN! This stuff is amazing!"
"HEY OLD MAN! This stuff is amazing!"
Your glances meet again and this time they are locked. You both reach for your drink and down it all in one go.
"Phew! That really hit the spot!"
"Phew! That really hit the spot!"

Okay that's it. You roll up your sleeve and the old guy does the same. Turning your attention back to the bartender you speak up. Naturally at the same time again.
"Hey old man! Pies! Bring more and don't stop!"

This can only be decided one way, the manly way. Whoever stops eating will be the big wuss and the one standing will be the genuine article. And to the horror of everyone present pies come and pies go. First they disappear one by one then two by two. Your gullets consume without any regard for safety, decency or human ethics. Just watching you is enough to make a grown man loose his appetite for the rest of his life. So the other patrons start leaving and only the truly gutsy remain to watch, thus freeing the cook to focus solely on making MORE PIES!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRICJFT0KVE

But amidst the feasting something spectacular happens. As your foe continues to guzzle more alcohol the spectators do the same to bear with this disgusting spectacle. And as such the downer atmosphere disappears. People start singing, the music becomes cheerful to match the song and people start having a good time. In the meantime you're busy talking with the old guy while both your mouths are full.
"MmmmmmHmmmm! HmHmhm!"

"You don't say? HAH!"

As you're having a discussion your crewmembers start rolling in wondering what the hell is going on. They followed the fleeing men and the sound of merriment but now they are lost and confused. Marcella simply points towards you and they nod. Now it makes perfect sense. As empty pie plates keep mounting around you it becomes abundantly clear that this won't end well, not in a satisfying manner at the very least. The rate at which you're getting new pies is slowing down but neither of you are showing any signs of stopping. So you both swallow and agree to a truce of sorts after a loud burp.

"What do you say we resume this sometime later?"

"Sure. Can't eat the island yet because I need it for my pose!"

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!"
He slaps you on the back which manages to knock you down the stool.
"You're an interesting one!"

Laughing you climb back up and lean on his shoulder before punching it so hard he also gets toppled over. But he also climbs back up and you just laugh together holding the other by the shoulder. Once you manage to stop laughing he lets go of you and smiles at you.
"Not bad kid, not bad! You got more guts than this whole sorry town combined! What's your bounty?"

"You a bounty Pirate?"

"Damn straight! And so are you! I can tell! You got the eyes for it! Come on! What's your bounty??"

"130.000.000."

The old guy freezes and his right eye begins to twitch.
"Oy oy oy! I mean, that checks out but still. Isn't that a bit much?"

"No. Because I'm not done yet. It can't be much when it's still growing."

"I see. By the way boy, how old are you exactly? Fifteen?"

"Don't have a birthday."

"Really? Well that's a shame. Birthdays are nice to have you know. By the way, what would you say about joining my crew huh? I think you'd make it far with me!"

"Why? What's your bounty old guy?"

"Zero."

"Ah. Well thanks but no thanks. I don't let anyone tell me what to do."

"Wise words to live by... And I should've guessed."
He stands up from his stool and looks down at you as he's reaching in his pocket.
"Well that still leaves the matter of our little contest. Don't know how you feel about it but I hate loosing sleep over bets like this. So how about we let fate decide and just have a rematch later?"
He shows you a 100 belly coin. It sounds weird.
"We'll toss a coin. Heads, I win. Tails, you win. Sound good?"

"Okay."

He smirks and flicks the coin in the air. It spins around for what feels like a minute before landing on the counter. It spins around on its edge a bit more and eventually lands. It's Tails. The big fellow smirks.
"Oh well. I guess I lost that one! Good match kid! Maybe we can have a proper one later."
As he starts leaving through the front door he stops but doesn't look back at you.
"My ship needs a day or two to be repaired, I'll stay on the island until then. But after that I gotta go. Would love to sit down and chat if that's okay with you."

"Sure. But I got something to say before you leave."

"Go ahead..."

"That coin was weighted."

"Zehahahahahahaa! Damn right it was!"
He turns around.
"But wanna know what's funny? It was weighted to land on heads! What is that if not fates decree? ZEHAHAAHAHAHAHAA!
ZEEEEEEEEEEEHAHAAHAAHAHAAAAA!"

"Alright children! Good night!"

"Good night mother!"

The room where the orphans slept echoed and Ann smiled. On her way out she blowed out the candle illuminating the dark and under the cover of night she leant over young William and kissed him on the forehead. The boy could use that little bit of extra love since the others didn't really include him in their activities. He was exhausted from all the excitement that today held for him. Ann could barely get him to fall asleep he was so energetic. But even now in his quiet slumber he's clutching onto the hat he was entrusted with. Finally Ann leaves the children to rest in peace. After she was done with her duty however she returned to her chamber where in a secluded corner she created a small shrine for herself. She knelt down before the holy site and prostrated herself before the image of god.

"Our lord who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Hear my prayer for I have sinned. It's me again, Sister Ann. I've lied and continue to live a lie, I've taken the achievements of others as my own. Every day I feel the temptation growing. I'm afraid I won't be able to hold out much longer. Oh lord, I love the children, I truly do. But I can't keep going like this!"

Ann practically curled up into a ball by this point as she struggled to hold back her tears. She was torn from her home against her will, she was forced to undertake the trials to become a revered mother and failed, yet somehow people thought she to be a saint. She was given a title and the responsibility of taking care of the Sunflower House. But it's all a sham. She did nothing, yet she had to take credit for the work of someone else, someone who had the strength to free an entire city from the grip of a criminal. And now she must live a cursed existence pretending to be normal.

"Please Lord! Give me a sign! Guide me so I no longer have to stumble in the dark! Grant me strength so I can keep going. For I fear the temptation is growing stronger. What should I do my lord? What must one do when the call of freedom is getting stronger every day? I don't want to leave the children. But I fear I'm not strong enough! Our Lord in Heaven, rid me of this temptation! I do not wish to fall!"
>>
This one ended up being a bit shorter than what I've written before. But I think it still manages to convey the same message. Oh well. I admit I messed up with this one.

Anyway I'm planning to run on Saturday at 15:00 GMT. But I'll visit the dentist at noon. Hopefully I won't be drugged out of my mind
>>
>>4575824
All good Spook, enjoy your time off.

>>4575818
Poor Ann, so repressed and stressed.
We need to show her that god HAS answered her prayers and take her with us. The motion of the ocean with soothe her soul and there's other things coming with us will soothe.

>>4575916
Or you know what? Anons have been wanting to ride the seatrain. I guarantee a long, wet train is just what she needs.

Gomu and Suke definitely look out of place compared to rest for sure. But yea, Gomu can definitely do some crazy stuff.
Suke is a funny one. I wonder if whoever had it prior to that lion guy was well known, or if the fruit started off as some kind of fabled myth due to guys like Sanji and Brook, and it just ended up being real.

As the big guy leaves with a hearty laughter your crewmates whom have gathered here finally come forward. They look back as the pirates laugh can still be heard very much.
"What is that guys problem?"
Marcella wonders.

"Kek! He was deciding whether he was about to kill me or not!"

"Silver, loosing a bet doesn't mean you loose your life."
Murray sits down next to you and asks some grilled chicken and some fresh water. The others do the same, taking seats, ordering food and generally getting comfortable with the place before you get down to business.
"Alright. Shall we exchange what we learned?"

The others nod at Murrays suggestion. Though they managed to gather bits and pieces none of them got about as clear of a picture as you do. Which is a problem because they might actually get what it means. But in short, people don't really like pirates, they are technologically advanced and that there are angry sand people living outside the walls. But they do have one bit of news. Despite local tech levels there are no real shipwrights here. The locals aren't very interested in the sea. So you won't really be able to blow your money away on anything big. Bummer.

"But this is good."
Angel says while sipping on a cup of coffee.
"It's not every day we find an island that's this peaceful. Since nobody is actively hostile towards us we might be able to lay low and wait out the two weeks."

Everyone then has their eyes on you because no matter how they may feel about this they know it's you they have to watch out for.
"Silver?"

"What's up Toxin? Oh. Yeah about that-"

You feel the peer pressure from the others rising so you throw your hands in the air and sigh.
"Fine! I won't start any trouble I promise!"

"You're unusually cooperative about this. What are you planning?"

"Nothing Jaws! I just met some cool people and I want to spend some time with them!"

They accept that reasoning and don't bother asking more questions and instead they all return to their food. You party for the rest of the night until everyone gets exhausted. Because most of them are tipsy you end up renting two rooms, one for the boys and one for the girls. It is quite strange resting on a bed. You used to sleep on the ground, on a stable surface for years. Yet now that the ground is not bobbing around constantly and without the constant noise of the sea around you find it quite hard to actually fall asleep. No matter how hard you try to close your eyes sleep is just not happening. So you get up and try to sneak out past Gu and Murray.

"Mmmm no Ma'am it was my pleasure to help!"

"Get out of the kitchen Silver or I'm stuffing you with poison mushrooms."

They keep sleeptalking as you climb out of the window and fly to the rooftop. You end up watching the sunrise while trying to organize your thoughts. The first rays of sunshine snap you out of your trance and you smile in satisfaction. By the time the others are waking up you already found yourself barrel of collected rain water and appropriate it to wash yourself clean. After rinsing yourself off and getting something to eat you are ready to start the day and kick down the door to your friends.
"WAKE UP SLEEPYHEADS!"

You receive more than one heavy object thrown at your head, especially from the girls who get mighty pissed and toss anything that can be moved. After shaking off those concussions you wait for them to get ready as well and sit down with them, debating what to do.

"Anyway I'm going to go and meet Sister Ann again! You guys wanna come?"

"Who?"
Gu asks.

"Some harlot..."
Marcella grumbles while Murrays eyes bulge out.

"Wait! Ann is here? HOW?!"

"I'll explain. Wanna come with?"

"Of course!"

You depart from the others and let them do their own thing. On the way to the Sunflower House you tell Jaws about how Ann got here and what she's doing now. He's a bit pissed that it's THAT easy for others to make the journey that she could beat you here but ultimately he's glad she's doing fine. When you get back to the orphanage despite your own navigation skills you see the revered mother doing laundry. The kids are suspiciously absent from the house. She stops hanging clothes to dry when she sees your first-mate approaching.

"Ah Mister Murray! What a pleasure to see you again!"
She walks up and holds the fish-man by the hand to greet him to which he can only react by blushing.
"And I see you kept the holy relic I gave to you. I hope it served you well and that you did not disgrace it!"

"It sure did sister! Saved my life more times than I'd like to admit. And uuuh, I try to not get any blood on it."

"While I can't commend such activities I'm not naive enough to not know what it's used as. A weapon is a weapon. I just hope you take as good a care of it as it does you."

They end up hitting things off rather well as Jaws is a much better storyteller than you and manages to give her a more detailed rundown of events. And Ann listens to everything he has to say. In fact she's trying and failing to hide her interest in the subject. Her compliments towards Murray also don't go unnoticed and he does his usual thing of nervously chuckling and saying how it was really nothing. But even your fishy friend does run out of tales to share after a while.

"You know sister it's really refreshing to see a familiar face. Out at the sea the only constant things we have are the ship and each other. Everything else changes. No two days are the same and everywhere we go we just see a fresh group of strangers. I'm kinda jealous! Since you seem to have a lot of stability in your life."

"O-Oh. How horrible."
She says with a gloomy expression. It doesn't escape Jaws either.

>Pry a little. Maybe something's bothering her.
>Distract her by showing off how much of her bible you've read
>Okay. I'll leave you guys alone for a little. Got some pirates to find

Jaws is the first to speak up about his suspicion.
"Come on sister. Surely you don't think our escapades are actually nice, do you? I was almost hanged, our chef was shot in the stomach, our girls were forced to work in a brothel and Silver was thrown in a hole filled with dead bodies. It's not all sunshine and rainbows out there."

"That may be true. It does sound horrible when you put it that way. But you survived! Out there you are free to experience all the world has to offer, good and bad. While most everyone is stuck on one island their entire life. Even I was like that. And just through visiting another I realized what I believed to be the whole world was nothing but a speck all along."

Interesting. So she seems to be frustrated. This gives you an idea. Walking up to Ann you transform into a bat and freak her out in the process. With a flip of your wings you make a powerful gust of wind which lifts up Anns skirt and reveals her panties, which incidentally have a different design from the one you saw yesterday. But it's still pirate themed.
"Kehehe! You like pirates don't you?"

"SILVER!"
BONK
"HOW DARE YOU DO THAT TO A LADY?!"
Jaws shouts at you as he whacks you over the head with his anchor.

"S-Sowwy!"

After fixing her clothing and grabbing a broom to join Murray in the pummeling she explains her standing. But only after she stacked a few more lumps on your head.
"As... tasteless as his method is Silver is not entirely wrong. I don't necessarily like pirates. I've seen firsthand how they truly are, Miss Bloodhair ensured that. But thanks to you I see how they can be. And I'm jealous of that. You have your thrilling adventures and though you get hurt, in the end you come out victorious and more than you were before. While I-"

Ann sighs and sits down on a nearby chair to light a cigarette. Murray sits on the ground in front of her and gives her a knowing look.
"Something happened to you, didn't it?"

She nods.
"Shortly after you left I was made a Mother, I told Silver that much. But I neglected to mention what that entails. To officially become a mother every sister must pass a trial. One where we are dropped off at a holy island where we must fast for 12 days straight."

"What's a fast?"

"It's where you eat nothing and only drink water. It's to show your devotion."

"Can you drink milk?"

"No."

"WHAT KIND OF NONSENSE IS THIS?!"

"Faith can be a powerful thing Silver."
Jaws nods.
"But that's still impressive. Not sure I'd have the willpower to do what you did Ann."

"Heh. That's the thing. Neither did I."

"Huh?"
"Huh?"

"I failed. On the last day I found food on the island where none should be. I foolishly thought in my arrogance that God was rewarding me with a bit of aid during my trial. I saw a mystical fruit the likes of which I've never seen before. Only when I bit into it did I realize that it was a trap and I fell for it. The fruit tasted like death and from the moment I took a bite I knew I was cursed... It was not my salvation but the apple of Eden that caused the fall of man. Ironic. And since then I've been living a lie. Because everyone assumed I cleared the trial. So I've been living a lie all this time. And now I got this curse to bear for the rest of my life. I pray every day for forgiveness even though I know I'll never get it. Heh. How foolish of me."
Ann finishes up her cigarette and smiles.
"It's quite strange though. Now that I myself am an outcast I feel safe telling this to you. It really takes a weight off my chest that I can confide in someone at the very least."

You exchange a quick look with Jaws.
"PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFT HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAH!"

"W-What's with that you two?! HERE I AM POURING MY HEART OUT AND YOU LAUGH AT ME?"

"Devil Fruit."

"That be a devil fruit."

"D-Devil fruit? But I thought Marcella is the one who ate that!"

You shrink down to a regular bat and start flapping your wings around.
"Nope. I ate one. In fact most of us ate one. It's kind of a problem because we're playing The Floor is Lava all the time at sea."

"Allow me Sister. There isn't one Devil Fruit. There are many. Each one does something different. You must've found one on accident. It was neither divine providence nor a curse. It's what you make of it. A blessing in disguise or a curse in the trappings of a gift. Just depends on how you look at it."

You return to your human form and look at her with glistening eyes.
"Hey hey! Can you show us what you can do? I want to know what your fruit is!"

"I well, I'm not sure it's something I should show. It's indecent."

"Come on! PLEASE! I showed you mine! Do it!"

She looks around to check if anyone is nearby to witness this before sighing.
"Fine. But I can only do it a little. Because I'm not really sure how to control it."
Ann then closes her eyes and begins to focus intently. She clenches her fists and her face starts to shake as she struggles. But after a few moments she completely disappears out of sight.

"AAAAAAAH! SHE TURNED INVISIBLE!"
You shout.

"T-That's quite something."

*ahem*
You hear a squeaky voice coming from somewhere.
"Down here."
Your heads arch downward. You try to find where the voice might be coming from but see nothing.
"Lower. Keep going. There."

"Y-You see anything Silver? Or hear her?"

"S-She should be there."

You keep looking until you see a small black spot on the ground moving around. You focus on it and see what appears to be a miniature version of Anns nun habit except it's smaller than your fingertip. Laying down on the ground you finally see "Ann" as she waves at you.
"H-Hewwo."
>>
You put your hand down and let Ann climb on it. After lifting her off the ground you take a better look at her new form. It's clearly a zoan and a spider one at that. You try to prod her a little and take great care not to hurt her tiny body which turns out to be pointless because even with her tiny legs she can keep your finger away just fine. Out of curiosity you also dip a finger in water and let it drop on her. The bead of water neatly sits on her head until she flicks it off in annoyance.
"Geez didn't you have enough? Can I turn back?"
You nod and she reverts to her human form as you turn to Jaws. He tells you that she's apparently a jumping spider. Very small, very cute. Questionably dangerous. You ask Ann if she could show you her other form since she must have a hybrid state as well. But she adamantly refuses.
"No way!"

"Awww."

"B-But at any rate I must thank you. At least I can rest easy now that this is certainly not some sort of punishment. But still it doesn't change the fact that I shouldn't be here at all. By all accounts I'm still just a sister. But noone will believe me."

"You shouldn't be so hard on yourself. You didn't know any better and now even though you aren't a Mother you perform the duties of one. The kids here depend on you. And if what Silver said is true then they are in good hands."

"That's mighty kind of you mister Murray!"
Ann smiled.
"Maybe one day I will be comfortable with my current situation. But if nothing else you two helped me ease my mind. Which is more than I ever could've asked for!"

"If you don't like it here then why not leave? I know a good ship that would take you!"

"SILVER! Stop trying to recruit everyone that catches your fancy! She may have a devil fruit but she's still just a regular person!"

But Ann just chuckles. She seems to be amused by this.
"It's quite okay mister Murray. I'm touched really. And I might even consider the offer were it not for the children here."

"That's okay! I'm gonna take Will anywa-"

"DON'T YOU DARE!"
Ann does a karate chop on your head to shut you up as fast as possible. She's scary when she gets mad.

"Okay okay. No more bad ideas for me. I'm leaving to find a place where I don't get smacked over the head. I'll leave you two alone then. Bye!"

Taking flight in your bat form you leave before either of them could stop you. Rubbing your head you start searching for more peaceful places where you don't have to worry about your bandages coming undone. Originally you were looking for Will but something more interesting catches your attention. In a dead end alleyway you hear a rather loud laughter, one that sounds very familiar to you. The old guy from yesterday. That should be good. Maybe you get to eat a lot again! You land down at the entrance to the place to not scare them too much and already you can tell something's off. Despite being as sneaky as batly possible they are still aware of your presence. All of them. And there are four of them in total with the old guy. Oh boy.

Confidently you stroll in and loudly shout.
"Hey hey people!"

The old guy from yesterday puts down his bottle of rum and wipes his face clean of the alcohol.
"Relax everyone. I know him. And none of the usual stuff. This mainly concerns you Van Augur, Doc Q! But you too Burgess!"

"Hmmm. What's wrong Captain? I thought we had an agreement. It all comes down to fate."

"Yeah. Well if you don't want fate to bite you I suggest this time you holster your gun. That is if you enjoy it not firing backwards ZEHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Another one who's riding a horse approaches you with a basket of apples. He leans heavily on his horse and doesn't bother to get off from it.
"COUGH COUGH the captains friend is our friend as well. Would you like an apple young man?"

"Wow thanks man!"
You reach for one of the apples and Doc Q smiles.
"Bombs away!"

You open your mouth and toss the apple in. Swallowing the thing whole makes the nice guy happy, although he says that's unfortunate and that now it's all but guaranteed. You have no idea what he's talking about, you're just enjoying a nice apple. As soon as it hits your tummy however you feel weird, like when you haven't farted in a while and your tumtum starts hurting. Your stomach grumbles and you open your mouth to burp, which ends in an explosion coming out of your mouth like a beam of fire. Luckily for Doc Q the legs of his horse gave out just the moment before the burst so they were not caught in the wave of heat. But they were dangerously close.

Smacking your lips you tap your tummy.
"Hmmmm. Spicy!"

Q coughs and swallows as he starts talking.
"Phew. Almost got hit there."

Hiss captain just laughs at this.
"Told you! Told you didn't I? Zehahahahahah! You thought I was joking? No it was for your own protection! See? He's fine!"
He gets off his barrel and smacks you on the back.
"Come now sonny, don't mind them! Come on sit! And Jesus! I see you eyeing him up! Unless you wanna almost loose your head like Doc I suggest you reconsider!"

"WEEEEEHAHAHAH! Sorry Captain! But he looks so interesting!"

"RIGHT?"
The captain then leads you to the place they use to pass the time. A crate in the middle serves as a table and a few barrels are around it as chairs. He has you sit down on one and he sits opposite of you.
"I'm glad you came. It would be a shame to leave without as much as a proper introduction! My name's Teach! Marshall D. Teach! And you?"

"My name is Silver!"

"Silver hmmmm? If we haven't lost our bounties in a knock-up stream I could check if you were telling the truth yesterday. But oh well."

"What's a knock-up stream?"

"Oh? You don't know? It's nothing really. Just one of the nastier things on the sea that can kill you. A giant tower of water that explodes into the sky every now and then! Also lets you visit Sky Islands if you're lucky!"

"SKY ISLANDS?!"

"Zehahahaha! That's right!"
Teach then drinks a bit more from his bottle of rum before handing it over to you.
"Wanna drink? You might not believe it otherwise!"

Okay. Don't want to continue because I'll need more than just fumes to do a proper discussion between Silver and Teach so I'll cut things off here

You stare at the bottle with a bit of a concerned expression since the others forbade you with absolute certainty that under no circumstances are you allowed to drink alcohol. Ever. So you continue to look at the bottle, the smell of the rum invading your nose and making you frown. Teach simply nudges it toward you a bit more again.

"Well? It's good! Or do you want me to take a swig again to prove it's not poison?"

"No I just. I'm not allowed to drink."

"And who says that? The law? Zehahahahahah! Come on! We are all pirates here! What should we care about what others think?"

"My friends said that."

"And your friends would want you to miss out on fun? That doesn't sound right to me!"
He keeps pressing the bottle under your nose. Most likely he'd find it insulting if you refused.

Your cheeks puff and your eyes bulge outward as you're trying to resist the command of the others. But no matter how much you want to join the cool kids club you can't exactly let your crew down like that. Especially when even the smell of the drink is making your head light and woozy. So you push the bottle back which seems to offend Teach a bit but he just shrugs.

"Suit yourself. More for me!"
He chugs the bottle until none is left in it and tosses it aside. The others are also a bit distrustful of you after that, perhaps they feel like you don't want to get inebriated because you're about to fight them.
"Anyway, uuuuuh. What were we talking about? Oh yeah Sky Island! Want to hear about it?"

"Do I?"

"Well first, do you think such a place could exist?"

"Of course! Why wouldn't I?"

"Zehahaha! Good attitude you got there! Some lilly livered little weasels would call you stupid for believing in such a thing like an island in the sky! Make sure to never pay attention to those tools! They want to feel comfortable in a logical world they can understand even if it makes the world a lot more boring! I don't respect those people! Now close your eyes and open your ears boy-"

You do as you're told and listen to the tale spun by the burly pirate. He draws you a pretty picture of giant clouds in the sky that never disappear where people have lived and will live for hundreds if not thousands of years! A place where all kinds of weird creature exist such as flat fish that evolved to float better in the water that makes up the clouds, fruits that sprout from hard clouds and bear bouncy or sometimes steel hard fruit. And Teach tells you of magical sea shells you can only find up there on sky islands, most of which only function correctly there but if you're lucky you could get your hands on one that's still functional here. And the best part? There isn't ONE sky island but many! Possibly as many as there are regular islands, all floating on giant clouds.
>>
"And you can get there? HOW?!"

Teach smiles.
"However you can boy! However you can! Because if you put your mind to it and decide to chase a dream you are bound to find your way!"

That makes sense. It's out there and you just have to search for it. But it's reassuring to know there are such places out there.
"I hope that one day I find a special island like that!"

"Listen here boy! There are bigger and more wonders out there than you can imagine! I'm sure you'll find one if you just keep chasing your dreams!"
Teach then takes another bottle and bites the cork out of it with his few teeth that are capable of doing that and starts drinking another bottle.

Chasing dreams? Well that is something you like the sound of. This guy is alright! But something is still troubling you to the point that you find yourself just staring at the bottle he left half empty on the table.
"Marshall-"

"Please! Call me Blackbeard!"

"Okay Blackbeard! You seem to be fond of dreams!"

"Dreams are the only thing that have any meaning to them Silver. Look around you and you'll see what I mean. People living from day to day, spending most of their lives on an island. What kind of dreams do you think they have? Dead ones. They care about safety, about making ends meet. Look at us! People like you and I, who aren't afraid to take risks, to stare death in the face for the sake of our dreams make it anywhere in the world! That's a fact!"

"And what is your dream exactly?"

Teach finishes his drink.
"Why nothing else but the top! Becoming the Pirate King!"
He leans over the table and stares directly in your soul.
"That's not a problem is it?"

"Nope. I don't care about that."

"Then what do you want to be? Or is it a something that you want?"

"I want the whole world to know the name Silver! I don't want to chase the name of someone else! Instead I want others to chase mine!"

"Hmmmm. Making your own name huh? That one I haven't heard before. But I see the appeal."
There's something, odd about all of this. He seems to know a lot of things, he's old and clearly very experienced. Yet he claims to have no bounty and it doesn't sound like he's lying.

"You sound like you were around for a while, been to a lot of places. What are you doing here?"

Teach puts down his bottle for this one.
"In paradise? Well that's a long story. But let's just say that sometimes you got to sacrifice a few things... when chasing dreams."

"Sounds stupid."
All of them are now looking at you to see what you mean by that. You just grin at them fearlessly.
"Sacrifice? That's just an excuse the weak make when they can't win the proper way!"

Suddenly all of them snap and draw their weapons. The sniper guy Van Augur aims his gun at you while the sickly looking doctor guy points a double bladed scythe at your throat and the big guy Burgess has gripped one of your arms tightly. Meanwhile Teach slowly leans back on the barrel he's sitting on and casually takes a pistol out of his belt and starts playing with it to taunt you.
"Boy... I like your guts. But I don't take well to insults. Not from green little paradise kids who don't know how the world is yet. Now be nice and apologize."

"I won't apologize until you get back what you're owed."

Way I see it Silver is against sacrifice but not equal exchanges. Like the wounds he suffers without care or the years of slavery, those weren't sacrifices because he got his for them.

If BB is still dwelling on things as "sacrifices" then he didn't get his payout then.
>>
>>4579353
A sacrifice is something you make on your own volition. What Silver endured was theft, they took his freedom from him. And he had revenge for it.

But I see your point

You look Blackbeard in the eye and see that he's serious. However he also sees that so are you and that you're not even afraid. Your gazes remain locked for several moments, making the situation more and more tense until you feel the big burly fellow holding your hand sweating. A quick glance at the others shows them having a serious, even a little scared expression.
"Okay. Sorry."

"Apology accepted! Okay boys let him go."

They happily do so and return to their own little positions, with Burgess slapping you on the back as he leaves.
"Smart boy! WEEEHAHA!"

You look at him trying to leave but grab him by the shoulder, turn him around and punch him in the face after jumping up. Your hard smack makes him stumble a bit but otherwise doesn't do much damage.
"Sorry. But don't touch my back again."
After apologizing you turn back to Blackbeard.

"Heard him Jesus. Back off. But boy, do you really think you can go through the entire Grand Line without giving up anything?"

"I do."

"And what if you get in a situation where you're just not strong enough? Where you must sacrifice something to keep going?"

"I'll start hitting harder!"
Blackbeard laughs again saying how interesting you are.
"You're interesting as well! Want to be friends? I think we could be pirate allies! Just a pair of interesting guys!"

He chuckles.
"Fine! But only if you'll serve in my fleet!"

"No. I came up with it. I'm the leader! Or we're equal."

"Sorry. But I don't work well with others!"

Despite the outright refusal from both sides Blackbeard doesn't seem any more hostile for the time being. In fact it seems like everything you've done up until now was to his liking. There is little doubt that if you were a bit stronger and if there was a chance of you accepting it he'd offer you a place in his crew. However as it stands he's simply very, very curious about you. So he moves his barrel next to yours and gets you two glasses which he fills with wine and then motions the rest of his crew to come join you. They do so even if nervously and all sit down relatively close, except Doc Q who gets to drink from a tankard with a straw that's tied around the neck of his horse Stronger.
"Alright boy! Now you got me interested! Exactly how does a kid like you end up here in the Grand Line anyway?"

"Okay. Well it all started-"

You begin recounting your tale while Blackbeard keeps drinking next to you. You tell him everything, from loosing your parents to your treatment by the people on the island. When you finish describing everything you went through prior to meeting Eliza. To your utter shock Blackbeard erupts in tears and starts crying on your shoulder. Naturally this happened after several more drinks.

"Awwwww damn it! I didn't expect that! I'M SORRY!"
He blows his nose in the sleeve of his jacket as he continues.
"Didn't mean to drag up your past like that. It's a bit of a bad habit of mine since studying history is my hobby!"

"No problem. It doesn't bother me that much anymore."

"That's good. Still I apologize. Anyway what happened then?"

You tell him about one day meeting a pirate and how she was the only person who was ever truly kind to you. That she was the one to teach you about being strong, about what being a pirate means and the code by which now live. And of course how she left and what you did afterwards. You skipped the parts about training but did tell him about burning the whole island to the ground essentially. This amuses both him and his crewmembers greatly, as all of them seem to be in agreement about that. They all tell you how they got what they deserved and how you did the right thing. Teach in particular seems impressed and enthusiastically pulls you closer by the shoulder.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVk_xrsJMlA

"Zehahahahahah! That's right! Listen here son! No matter what anyone would tell you or how much they judge you for that, never forget that you were in the right with that! These so called normal people will call you a monster and worse for doing things like that! But they would never have done anything to save you from that situation. They'd brand you a criminal, a pirate for standing up for yourself! So if your options are to follow the law and suffer or break free and become a criminal is it any wonder you became a pirate?"
Blackbeard then turns to face you and grabs you by both shoulders so he can stare right in your eyes.
"Let the world reject you! Let them hate you! These nobodies who judge you will never be important! But if you listen to your heart and fight for what you believe in you'll make it further than any of them! RISE ABOVE THE MASSES AND FIGHT FOR WHAT YOU BELIEVE IN! I'm sure that way you will one day reach the Summit and become the legend you want to be! And I hope I get to see it happen!"

"Thanks! Teach!"

"Blackbeard!"
He bonks you on the head.
"ZEHAHAHAHAHAH! Anyway you should be grateful for that pirate that helped you. They taught you well. Who are they anyway?"

Technically this is a case where Silver would potentially refuse to give out the information because he cares about Eliza that much

>>4579499

I did consider it but this might be the only chance we get in a while to know more about her, so why not, this is already a big risk anyways.

>>4579500
Uuuuuuuuuuh. I can't tell that from the top of my head. I'll check the archive for that. He might not have

>>
>>4579493
>>4579496
This is one of those situations where as a player with meta knowledge I know Teach is Bad News. But besides a few red flags that Silver probably wouldn't recognize, he has been fairly open to comradarie and appears trustworthy. We are an easy target for this guy.
>>
"Eliza the Silver."

"E-Eh?"
Blackbeard goes cold.
"Eliza? G-Guys? Isn't she... dead?"

"She was thought to be Captain!"
Burgess answers him.
"But apparently she came back a few years ago with a new crew."

You look around and see them all taking a step back except Teach himself.
"Oy. Boy... do you know who that is?"

"Yes. She's my friend. She let me use her lap as a pillow once."

"C-Captain! Let us leave okay? W-We don't need to be here any longer!"

"Shut up Jesus! Listen Silver! I don't know who you think she is but she's not the person you think! That woman you met years ago, oh god it even checks out! That woman! Her name is Eliza D. Silver! She was called the Mad Dog because she would attack anyone and anything that got in her way!"

"Oh. That's nice! I knew she was strong but not this strong!"

"This isn't a game! Whatever you do, don't start saying her name so casually! If the wrong people hear that they would do horrible things to you to get to her! Do you understand?"

"Hmmmmmmm!"

"NO! You'll get into a lot of trouble- Ah forget it! Boys! Pack your stuff and let's head back to the raft! We'll wait for Laffitte there!"

"Wait. Are you leaving?"

"Sorry little pal. But uuuh, we got other stuff to do now. I hope we bump into each other again in the New World when you get there. So make sure you don't die before that! Got it?"

You nod and watch Blackbeard and his goons leave. They packed so hastily they left an entire crate of rum just sitting on the ground. Shrugging you pick it up and throw it on your shoulder to carry it easier. But this is interesting. Not only did you make a "friend" but you also learned that you misheard Elizas name when she told it. Anyway it looks like they are no longer interested in hanging out. The question is how are you going to spend your time now?

Well that was.... not that bad. If anything, Silver learned to not use her name. Overall, this was a pretty big win on our end I'd say. Blackbeard is still pretty cool with us, and we learned a bit more about pirate mom.

Will surely knows what to do with this big ol' crate of locally made rum. He's local after all! Right? Well you do find him in a relatively short amount of time thanks to your hearing but there's the problem. You find him thanks to your hearing. Because he was screaming. Jumping from roof to roof you make a beeline towards the place where you're hearing screams from and see that Will is indeed there. And he seems to be participating in a game he doesn't want to be a part of.

Four other kids have him surrounded and keep tossing the hat you gave to him back and forth and young Will keeps running after it to try and catch it.
"GIVE IT BACK!"
He keeps screaming while the other, bigger kids just mock and laugh at him.

"Look at him crying like a baby hahahahha!"

"Serves you right you little dweeb! We lost our home because of pirates! And you're wearing a pirate hat?!"

"Maybe that'll teach you a lesson! Go be stupid elsewhere! No wonder your parents abandoned you!"
One of them extend a leg which Will trips on and then they surround him. They are preparing to kick him a whole bunch of times.

You saw enough and decide to jump off the roof. The sandy ground muffled your landing enough that the shitty little brats haven't noticed you yet. Good.

You feel a grumble coming from deep within and you know what must be done to get rid of it. Setting the crate down you start walking up to the children while your devil fruit activates and you swell to a great size. Leaning forward while towering above the little runts you do your best to appear as intimidating as possible, even letting your drool escape your mouth and drip on the shoulder of one of the kids. His friends freeze while he's wondering about the gross stuff on his shoulder and whether it's bird poop or not. But the others are quick to notify him as they point at you while falling on their asses. As he looks up you start growling and he freezes.

Leaning forward even more you force him on the ground and let him gaze into your mouth filled with big teeth.
"That is not yours!"
Your eyes are bloodshot red as you take the hat from him and put it back on Wills head.

"I-I-I-I'm sorry!"
Strangely enough it's William who apologizes even though he has no reason to and not the little turd on the ground before you. He just tries to crawl away like the others. You grab those trying to run with the hooked claw at the tip of your wings and stepping on the one before you.

"That hat is mine! Does that mean you want to fight?"
The kids are too scared to even utter a word right now.
"What's wrong? I thought you don't like pirates! Here is one! What are you going to do now? Nothing?"
Since you get no answer and they look like they are about to wet themselves you let go of them.
"Thought so. Now run! RUN! RUN LITTLE WORMS! And remember! I WILL BE WATCHING YOU!"

The children get out of the area screaming loudly. Though they were a bit taller than Will they were still very young and thus scared easily. And hopefully they won't come back at least for a little while. Turning back into a human you sigh.
"What a bunch of wusses."

"I'm dhorry!"
Will continues to apologize to you.
"I, I lhost your hat! Sniff!"

You crouch down next to will and pull the brim of your hat over his eyes as a funny gesture.
"Don't worry! I got it back for you! Now come, I brought you some happy juice!"

You pick up will and make him sit on your shoulders while he's still sniffling. Grabbing the case of rum you head towards the edge of town and make your way up the wall guarding the place with a few wingflaps in your bat form. Sitting down on the edge of the wall you get a perfect view of almost the entire island which is little more than a windswept wasteland. It's similarly sandy like Silver Island but it's not hot at all. Instead it was the wind that either carved up or smoothed out everything, leaving the places not covered by freaking sand as surfaces smoother than ice. Luckily you are so high up that most of the deadly winds that are responsible for the state of the island are still dispersed by the massive walls so your skin isn't flayed instantly. But it's still annoying.

Will is still looking kinda sad as he took off your hat and is now hugging it while struggling to not cry.
"S-Sorry!"

"What are you doing?"

"I'm, apologizing?"

"Why? Don't be angry at yourself! Be angry at the d-bags that wanted to take your stuff!"
He just blinks at you randomly. Most likely he thinks you're super weird.

I'm actually at a bit of a loss on that regard. The Straw Hats ensured that most of them are out of commission and the ones that aren't simply would be unfair to face
But I got something in mind for that

You scratch your head not knowing what to do with a tiny person like that when they are feeling down. So the only logical thing to do would be to figure out what is exactly wrong with them and maybe go from there? Looking at him you take the hat out of his hand and put it back on his head to get his attention. Will looks up at you clearly expecting you to say something.

"Guess you don't have many friends huh?"

"No."

"Ever thought about leaving maybe? If I were you I'd just leave. Maybe kick a few bums on my way out. So why put up with this?"

"I want to leave. I want to sail the seas and be strong like a pirate! But I stay because of the sand people."
Even speaking about those people is making him very mad. Mad enough to make him forget about the bigger kids bullying him a few moments ago.

"Why do you hate them so much?"

"How could I not hate them! They are the reason mama and papa are gone!"

"Got it. And what are you going to do about it?"

"Erm. What?"

"What are you going to do? What's your plan? Do you want to go and beat them up? Burn their houses down? Sit down and talk with them? How about taking away the children of those who took your mama and papa?"

"I don't know. I'm five years old!"

"Psh. That's no excuse! When I was five I knew what I wanted to do! I wanted to eat so I wrestled animals for food!"
Will doesn't seem to know whether you're messing with him or not. Meanwhile you're just sitting there genuinely curious about what he had planned.

"I don't know. What would you do then?"

>Go out and beat them up!
>Set them on fire. That's what I did last time
>Don't know. They didn't hurt me
>Other?

You look at Will in that weird instance of confusion. It's pretty hard to put yourself in someone elses shoes not to mention putting those weird feelings into words. So you look down at your own hands and decide it's better to show and not tell. Extending your fist you bonk him on the nose hard enough to knock him over but not enough to actually damaged him. He holds his nose and springs back up.

"HEY! What are you doing you bastard?!"

"Don't know. I'm bad with words. But I still got a lot to say so I let my fists do the talking. I guess what I'd do is go out and beat people up. That way I get to understand them and they understand me through our fists. That's about it."

"But I'm-"
Will looks down as he's kicking back and forth with his little feet.
"I'm small. I can't really fight."

"That's easy! I had the same problem! But I just got stronger and the problem was solved!"

"It's that easy?"

"Yeap!"

"T-Then I'll become strong! I'll become a great warrior and talk to everyone with my fists!"

"Yeah! That's the spirit! And look! You can start already!"

"Huh?"

You point forward to guide Wills gaze to the rising dust storm in the distance which seems to be carrying many small boats with sails. Though he can't really see them yet with his feeble eyes the towns outlooks certainly do with their binoculars and in a few moments warning sirens start blaring all over the place to warn the citizens about an incoming raid. The massive walls you're sitting on start rumbling. You hold onto your little buddy as the walls start moving but your crate of rum falls down the edge. The lockdown finishes and now all the exits are sealed off. If there were people outside that didn't make it, well they are certainly in a pickle now. You don't really see anyone but granted, you are more focused on the incoming raiders. Will looks like he's boiling with rage and hate. Despite his previous words about being small and weak he's eager to go down and attack the incoming sand people.

"Those guys! Let me down! I want to go and beat them up! I want to make them pay!"
Uh oh. Despite what you said before it wouldn't be a good idea for him to go down right now, since he'd just get hurt. Granted neither should you given your extensive injuries and lack of back-up. But then again, you never cared about silly things like safety.

"Hmmmmm."

That just means we get a chance to meet a sandbro to kidna- I mean recruit to our crew. Just gotta see the silver lining on every cloud my man.

I hope this doesn't torpedo our chance at recruiting Ann.
>>
>>4581529
It might torpedo our chances with Will since he hates them. Ann I think will be easy enough to recruit regardless of others.
>>
"Perfect!"
You smile and grab Will to put him on your back.

"What are you doing?"

"You said you wanted to fight them! Now's your chance!"

"W-WHAT? NO! I JUST SAID I'M SMALL AND-"

"YAHOOOO!"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

You spread your arms as you're free falling and give Will instructions to not let go whatever happens. As you transform into a hybrid you feel him gripping your hair as he clings onto dear life. You stick the landing with your flying ability and revert to human form. No need to go all out from the start after all. You patiently wait for the rising ball of smoke on the horizon to arrive at your location. They appear with their strange little vehicles, which are basically simple wooden boards with a sail used to harness the strong winds. But the users are a bit more interesting. They wear black, form fitting clothes wrapped around their bodies like towels. With one hand they steer their strange vehicles and wield their weapons with the other.

Despite only seeing their eyes you can see that though they are a bit surprised to see someone at the gates they are still very much ready to plow through you if need be. The ones leading the assault ready their weapons and you do the same. But as you reach for your waist you remember something.
"Oh. That's right. I don't have my sword! No matter I'll just... Oh! If I fire my gun you'll die! KEK! Guess I forgot about that!"

"WHAAAAA-"

As Will shouts the first of the raiders arrives and rather than attacking you directly they jump up with their boards. You prepare to grab and stop it with your bare hands but the wind unexpectedly changes, lifting him up higher and making him turn. Now the side of the board is on the same level as your head and he smacks your cheek with it. You loose a tooth from the impact but quickly recover and charge the other incoming riders so they can't pull a stunt like that again. Most of them ignore you, opting to take out their explosives and bazookas to bombard the walls with them. The ones that do bother to deal with you use curved swords, spears or small firearms to challenge you. The first few ones you manage to dodge, even managing to snatch a few spears out of their hands and breaking them but you don't make much progress. Not with Will on your back.

"O-Oy! Don't pull so hard! GEH!"
You almost get choked to death as the kid pulls on your shirt a tad too hard.

As you swing around trying to get Will to calm down you notice one of the other raiders pointing a gun at you. Unfortunately with your wild swinging it looks like he might accidentally hit Will so you do a little twirl in the air and take the bullet in the childs stead. Will still feels the kick of the bullet hitting your body but at least he's not injured this way.
"S-Silver?"

"Don't worry! My chef likes to feed us toxic stuff."

"H-Huh?"

"So a little bullet poisoning won't work!"

>"So a little bullet poisoning won't work!"
We must build our tolerance to bullets by being shot with smaller bullets.
>>
>>4581537
AH HA. BULLET CONDITION. perfect
>>
You stick a finger in the hole that was punctured in your shoulder and dig out the lead ball as you stare the guy that shot you down.
"That guy! I'll kick his ASS!"

Deciding that holding back is for wusses you jump into the air as hard as you can, ripping some of your bandages open before doing a dive kick. You move so fast that even with the monstrous wind behind his back the guy can't move out of your way in time and you land on his chest, knocking him off the board and likely knocking him out as well. As you land on the strange vehicle however you grab hold of the stick used for steering and find yourself wobbling like crazy.
"Whoawhoawhoa! OY! How do you move this thing?! AIIIEEEEEEE!"

You almost ram face first into the steel walls of the city but the wind makes you crawl up its side instead. Unable to control the vessel you watch as you run out of gas, slow down and start doing a flip backwards as you start falling. You abandon the thing and jump off before it crashes in the dust. After a brief transformation and sticking the landing you see the others picking up the one guy whose butt (or chest) you kicked. The others are now giving you some fierce glances. They most likely recognized you as a threat. So much so that one of them has drawn a bazooka and stuffed something that looks like a bola in it. Whatever it is, Will wouldn't survive an explosion even if you'd block it with your body so you toss him away just in case you fail to dodge. And good thing too because your legs don't seem to function so good after those stunts. Must've pulled something.

You run away but it's obvious that you'll get hit. However when the bazooka fires it hits nowhere near as hard as you expected. The bola doesn't even wrap around you or anything. Only one half of it clings to your hand.
"HAH! Didn't hurt!"
But the raiders just start laughing at you.
"Waitwha-"

Suddenly you feel your strength draining and you fall to your knees. The thing on your arm feels heavy, very heavy. Looking at it you realize that it's a shackle and it locked around your wrist. Trying to remove it only makes your other hand numb and weak as well. Something isn't right. Looking up you see the raiders approaching.
"Get him! And the child!"

>Will! Run! Get help!
