Scabbard looked sleepily at his newfound, musclebound friend as he put a friendly hand on his shoulder. Scabbard looked at the hand in mild surprise: Not many people were inclined to touch him....He understood, what with his grody skin, but Dugrass was one of the few who put a whole, five-fingered hand on him and not yelp or run away. He looked back at him with a smile, letting his handshaking hand fall lazily back to his side.

"...Cabbage Crasher?....Hey, that ain't bad..."

He watched him quickly take the lead and walk off with admiration. This guy must have a pretty solid sense of direction....Was he a navigator? Scab wondered of he'd ever been on a ship before...or if he'd like to. He could use someone who knew where he was going, if he was to get anywhere in........wherever he was planning on going? Where did he plan on going again? He hadn't really thought about it.....As he started to think about it, however, it became suddenly apparent to him that Dugrass had, in fact, walked off in that direction. He hurriedly followed to catch up, hefting his massive sword onto his shoulders once again.

Hwah! Giko really heard it, Claribel quickly found out. It wasn't that loud though, was it? She didn't seem to notice, or mind, as the seagulls began to crowd about, despite their obvious Marine symbolism. But then...Claribel was rebuked by a sudden interloper, who took Giko's hand in his.

Giko didn't seem to mind, or hear, simply asking Claribel another question, but then a seagull got way too close, shoving itself into Giko's mouth.

"Ah! You..." Claribel hissed, charging over, slipping past the dude, grabbing the offending bird and pulling, yanking the struggling bird out of Giko's mouth. Holding its lower body, it began to flap its wings fervently, Claribel and the dude guy both within its range. Claribel got a face full of feathery fowl f...f...wings...before she let go of the bird, tossing it into the air furiously, before kicking her feet at the crowd still picking at donut bits. She cried, "Go away you stupid birds! Birds are so stupid and boring! They just fly and poop!"

Calming down, she looked between Giko and guy person, before slipping her TD off of Giko's head, eyes flipping between the two. Expectantly. Claribel seemed to be expecting a lot these past few minutes!

The polite smile did little to hide an expression which could be described as a 'question mark' while regarding Zehst. The young man was odd, no doubt, but at the same time Gold felt like he had very little ground to judge when it came to oddity, so just smiled and tried to reason with him.

"She's a devil fruit user, and if I had to hazard a guess, she ate a pretty good one too. Probably best if you didn't try to catch her." He left an element of jest in his tone. The offer of food did not go unnoticed by Gold, and it was not an unappreciated one either. Despite being rather well traveled doctor and a martial artist... he hadn't the faintest idea how to actually cook decent food. He tried it once, assuming it to be no different than performing surgery.

That was an incident, to say the least.

"Didn't really do much but I'll take you up on that, mh-hm. Call me Dorado - or Gold, whatever suits you." He turns his attention back to the three younger individuals, brow raised inquisitively. "You three seem pretty fresh, what're you doing in this tourist trap? With Devil Fruit abilities, at that."

After all the fighting, the raid upon the store had finally ended. The gangsters had been subdued, Nose Ring was taken away by a bounty hunter of sorts, and the store was (sort of) intact. What's more, the shopkeeper was appreciative of the state his store was in, even offering to take the impromptu group to a restaurant, of all things! Just how bad would it have been if the group of oddities weren't there?

Probably not as bad, honestly - but that's neither here nor there.

Aside from that, the Rocket Man had introduced himself to Tenmon. His name was Zehst. Zehst Messerschmitt. Not only that, but he revealed that his power came from a Devil Fruit. Although Tenmon had already deduced that a while ago, given that he had learned the ins and outs of Devil Fruits when he was younger. Too bad he had only gotten that explanation after he had eaten one.

"Roke-Roke Fruit..." Tenmon said, thinking about the power.

"I assume it's a Paramecia type, right?"

Tenmon didn't wait for an answer. Instead, he watched as the mantis-woman became a... woman-woman? A Paramecia and a Zoan type? It was true, the closer you get to the Grand Line, the more Devil Fruit users you find. Of course, the Grand Line was full of people like that - himself included. The mantis woman was named Lucretia Savaronitelle. She seemed to carry a noble aura about her. Probably not on the level of one of those World Nobles, but definitely wealthy to some degree.

The Doctor also seemed to know about Devil Fruits. Gold Dorado Jr, they called him. Huh. The name had some similarities to the first Pirate King. Tenmon wondered if he got asked about that often.

At this point, everyone had introduced themselves in some way - except for Tenmon, who had said very little about himself through the entire ordeal. Bah. Ninjas don't reveal their identities, anyway. Yeah.

...

Well, it seemed like a good excuse. He'd just introduce himself later. That'd work.

"You three seem pretty fresh, what're you doing in this tourist trap? With Devil Fruit abilities, at that."

"Hm? Me? I'm going on a journey through the Grand Line."

Name: Chamber R. Wesson

WHAT?...SORRY, CAN YOU SAY THAT AGAIN? I CAN’T READ LIPS AUFUGHAH!

Chamber blinked when he saw the fat seagull lodge itself into the doughnut-smeared mouth of his soulmate. It was the most random thing he had ever seen and before he could attempt a heroic rescue, the wind was stolen from his sails when her friend stepped forth to unplug the bird. Chamber raised his arm to guard his face from the frantic slapping the bird gave, and when the creature was freed into the sky, his attention was directed down to the swarm of other birds that had suddenly gathered around him to pick up the doughnut crumbs.

Growing irritated, Chamber reached down to grab one of the greedy seagulls by the back of its neck. He then drew from a holster at his hip, one of his pistols and pressed to the side of the bird’s head. Glaring down at the crowd of foul, he threatened, “If you guys don’t want to see this bird blasted all over the pavement, then you’ll get out of here!”

All the seagulls stopped eating to stare up at the gunman and regarded their friend who was trembling and wiggling his webbed feet in panic. With a war cry-like seagull squeal, the first bird angrily launched like a missile at Chamber to connect with his head.

“Agh! What the hell!?” he cursed.

Soon a flock of angry seagulls were pecking and bombarding him left and right. Rising to his feet, he swatted at the birds and found himself being slowly drawn away from Giko.

“You’re interfering!” he shouted. “My darling! Wait for me! I will return with fried chicken!”

The area immediately around Giko erupted into chaos as her newfound friends batted away the bird in her mouth while trenchcoat guy held a gun to one's head and screamed something. She couldn't really make out what he was saying, since her ears were still ringing from the TD set, but it was definitely very passionate and filled with righteous anger, so good on him. By the time she was finished coughing up feathers that had gotten lodged in her mouth-joints, the poor man was already halfway down the block.

"Well, he seemed nice enough.", Giko commented as the hotblooded seagull-threatener was carried away by a tide of birds. She reached down again to pluck another doughnut from the bag, only to realize it had been stolen in the confusion- one of the gulls, probably. Giko wiped her face on her sleeve and massaged her ears as she looked back over to Claribel.

"So that's a tone dial, huh? Technology these days is really something. I'd rather have something a little less... Well, loud. Anyway-", Giko continued, running her hands through Claribel's hair, "-So what do you use for your hair, anyway? It's so silky! Are you a natural pink?"
