Luro grinned as he stared at Ryu's unconscious body, he brought a hand to his chin closing his eyes with a solemn nod this Alicia was an interesting person, he owed a bit of thanks to Utsukushi he got to meet some fascinating people here, he still had to try some of the exotic drinks from other countries he'd have to take the time to do that later while he had the chance. He doubted any of them would satiate his thirst like rum did but trying something new wasn't a bad idea.
Luro heard the announcer and was brought back to the fight his attention moving back over to Alicia, he let out a small chuckle and playfully knocked the side of his head.
"Forgot I was still fighting for a moment there," Luro said turning fully towards Alicia. "You know Tashigi I've had fun today, normally whenever I point my gun at someone I go at them with the intent to kill, though the captain has requested I not do so often. I don't like holding back in a fight seems like a waste ya know, so I'm going to go at you with everything I have, I hope you do the same cause I'm going to stop following the rules now, I want to feel even more joy in these fights, besides I don't want to hold back against you."
Luro gripped his rifle and raising it above his head twirled it a few times in his open palm before gripping it and slamming the butt down with a bit of force before grabbing the last bottle of rum on his belt.
"Alright Tashigi let's have a grand battle, one the people of this village will speak of for generations! Here I-"
Luro cut himself off as his eyes landed on the bottle widening a little.
"Hold on a moment Tashigi," Luro said the excitement leaving his voice as he turned his attention fully to the rum.
Luro held the bottle up and tried to empty some into his mouth, when nothing came out he peered through the bottle before his eyebrows drew down a little seeing nothing in the bottle.
"My rum's gone," Luro said tossing the bottle aside. "That's right I drank it already...this is a problem. I don't have anything to drink and if I fight Tashigi I'm going to sober up, there's no way around that with the way she fights. Hmmm so either I fight Tashigi sober or fight her with a bit of drink in me."
Luro put his rifle on his back and started counting reasons on his fingers trying to weigh the advantages and disadvantages for a moment, his mind seemed far away from the fight at this point as he seriously considered his options.
"Alright I know what I have to do, I have my duty as a pirate so the answer is clear to me."
Luro turned towards Tashigi and with a grin raised his hand up before yelling towards the announcer.
"Announcer! I'm out of rum so I'm going to get some more now! You can name Tashigi the winner!"
Luro lowered his hand and looked over at Tashigi giving her a small thumbs up and a wink.
"You can have the money Tashigi I wasn't all that interested in it anyway I just wanted a good fight."
Luro turned his back to her and shoved his hands into his pockets heading back towards the meeting hall whistling one of Ray's songs to himself.
"Oh right," Luro said glancing over his shoulder at her. "If you still wanna fight I'll be outside the stadium in a bit, we'll have a no holds barred match like nature intended. Oh and you should talk to my captain, it's a shame you're not a StarDusk pirate with your skills. Her name is Runali Le-something she wears an eye-patch and is walking around in a hood that looks like this."
Luro brought both of his hands up to his head and mimicked cat ears before waving one last time at Tashigi and walking out of the stadium stretching a little.
"Alright time to do my duty as a pirate and drink until I can't feel anything anymore and drink some more!"
