[IC] One Piece: Legacy

[ladyonyx04]

Natsu rubbed her head to get the sting of being hit lessened. Sure she had been in a forest for a while getting herself in control, and her life had constantly been in trouble, but she hasn't had a hit like that since she started the marines. And she watched as Sammy ran in the room without watching where he was going and barreled into Griff and the lady who may or not be second in command. From what she had seen of the occupants in the room, they differed to her. So, in her mind, that meant that the other lady was the leader. "Oh jeez." She muttered. That guy was going to die. She shook her head. "Orokamono."

translation

fool

She said.

Griff felt the hit but was kind of relieved, it was more of a scolding then a threat, but 500,000 million belli ! that was just absurd! When he was about to respond to the woman, Sammy happened, hitting him again sending his face to the floor. Angrily he lifted his head but he was overwhelmed with fear again. Sammy ran over the woman Griff just pissed off. With amazing speed Griff ran next to Sammy, grabbed his head and slamed it into the ground next to his, in an apologetic position. “Please forgive him!!! Don’t kill us!!” he plead at the woman, then without lifting his head he presented the suitcase containing the rest of his treasure to her. “it’s not nearly enough but it’s a start, please accept it as a start off payment towards my debt to Marshall, I bow to pay you and him with time” He then whispered to Sammy in a panic state “Hey, choose your word carefully here, were in deep, one wrong move and were done”

Literally the second she sat down, something barreled into Dani, running her over and leaving her sprawled out with her face in the dirt. She could hear the marine chick mutter to herself, before Dani pulled herself to her feet, gun already in hand and ready to blast the jackass who ran her over. But as she looked, the kid already seemed to have things covered, himself bowing down and forcing, what Dani assumed was his friend, into a apologetic bow, an open case of treasure in front of them “Please forgive him!!! Don’t kill us!! “it’s not nearly enough but it’s a start, please accept it as a start off payment towards my debt to Marshall, I bow to pay you and him with time”. She mulled it over for half a second, although made them wait about five, before she stepped forward and closed the case "It's a start". She gave the case to Marshall "Here. Take it down the Exchange Office and take the week off. Go home and see your family. When you get back, we'll have the place fixed up" she said, giving the man one of her rare kind smiles. "T-thank you, Boss. Thank you so much!" Marshall replied, giving Dani a one-handed hug before heading off, a noticeable bounce in his step. Turning back to the idiots at hand, Dani clasped her hands together and spoke "Okay, so that we have no more interuptions, and because I need a drink, you three are coming with me up to my room where you will give me the whole story, and you and I" she said pointing to the kid with the case "will talk your weapons business, you an I" pointing at the chickadee "will discuss a business plan, and you... I don't know, can eat or something, I have no business with you. I'm not in the mood for revenge today" she finished, turning back and leading the group back towards the tower "WEASEL! You come, too. I need your reports of the perimeter. Oh, and one more thing. The fuck are your names again?"... -Elsewhere, about 1 day's out from B.E.- Five large, heavily armored vessels sailed smoothly across the ocean, as a very sharp-dressed man stood at the bow of the largest. "Just you wait, Watershin Danielle... I'll tear down your precious "Solar Kingdom", and the entirety of Bloody Evolution within it's walls. And then... for what you did to my hand and my pride... I'll pay you back double... no, triple... no... ten, maybe? 20 times? A hundredfold? Would that be enough? Oh! How about two hundred fold..." Swabbing the deck, scarred, chiseled Mercenary #1 looked at scarred, chiseled Mercenary #2 (I'm not kidding, those are really their names) "He's a bit off his rocker, isn't he?" "Yeah, but he pays good" "Ten-thousand! Yes... I'll pay you back... TEN-THOUSAND FOLD!!!! SHAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAA-*Cough, cough* Jeez, how do criminals do that? I need a drink"...

[Sableyezer]

Sammy was still in too much of a daze to understand the first half of the conversation, Something about a guy taking time off to see his family of weapons and Chickadees, but what he did was probably the only thing of importance. "Eat? I'd love to eat something!" Sammy sprang up excitedly." "Oh, and one more thing. The fuck are your names again?" "Eh? Oh, right. My name is Jonas D. Sammy," he said as he replaced his atop his head, "The next Pirate King!"

[ladyonyx04]

"You and I have business to discuss. Oh, and one more thing: the fuck are your names again?" Natsu rose an eyebrow. She knew the woman wouldn't accept what money she had having gotten a good amount from her savings as a marine. But most had been from her days serving 'Aunty Green' as the woman from the cottage by the sea had made her call her. "Natsu Hizuri, Lougetown marines." She introduced herself once more following after the "boss". She supposed a business deal would be a good idea. She rubbed at the back of her neck. Well whatever would help she supposed.

[phillmyster]

"Oh, and one more thing. The fuck are your names again?" "Eh? Oh, right. My name is Jonas D. Sammy," he said as he replaced his atop his head, "The next Pirate King!" "Natsu Hizuri, Lougetown marines." "My name's Griff, nothing more, I'm with Sammy" It looked like he was in no danger for the time being, and neither was sammy, Natsu didn't seem to be ploting anything so he relaxed a bit. The woman in the bikini looked really tough and had authority, Griff began to wonder if she was the true leader around.

[CrimsonWarrior55]

Dani just blinked. Once... twice.... three times... before bursting out into laughter "SisisisisisisisisisSAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" Holding her guts, she leaned against a nearby wall as she tried to pull herself together "I'm... hahahahaha... I'm sorry! Hahahahaha!!! You... you're an interesting kid. Sisisisisisisi.... Pirate King, eh? So you wanna follow in the steps of Strawhat, huh? Sisisisi... alright. I can't lie. I'm kinda intrigued. Come on, let's get inside" Dani said, still snickering, as she led the group back to the central tower. As they reached the tall building, the massive, 20 foot tall solid oak doors... didn't open. Instead Dani opened a standard door cut into the left giant door ("What? You think I'd really have doors THAT big? My ego's big, but come on"). Following a small hallway, it quickly led to a gorgeous, rather large lobby. Inside was surprisingly... elegant. The stone walls were decorated with various paintings and light fixtures, with a large crystal chandelier hanging in the center of the ceiling ("What? I have to spend my money on something"). They piled into an elevator on the other side of the floor, where Dani inserted a key into the panel. In no time at all the doors had opened again, into a large hallway that was just fantastic. Red carpets with gold trim, impressive statues adorning the halls, soft light bathing the area from gorgeous fixtures. Eventually they reached two guard stations, each one holding a wall of a man, wearing the standard B.E. vest, but with gold trim and a more elaborate patch, with two desert eagles crossing against a sun. Aaaaaaand both men were asleep... Wow... nice security. Unlocking the (again, very handsome) doors, Dani allowed each member of her party across the threshold and into the pitch black of her room. She flicked the switch, aaaaaaaaaand.... Oh... my.... fucking god the place was an absolute goddamn MESS! Booze bottles, food cartons, random boxes of junk, bikinis, tools, guns, swords, seriously, what the... oh, dear god... IS THAT A USED CONDOM!?!?!?!?!?! DANI WHAT THE FUCK!?!?!?! THAT'S SICK!!!! In a flash she quickly threw THAT away. "So make yourselves comfy. Just not the bed. Here." She opened the closet... *snicker* She has a giant stuffed rabbit. That's a new one. Anyways, she opened the giant closet and pulled out several (clean) beanbag chairs. Checking a clipboard nearby, she tossed them to the others "Those were just cleaned, so relax" she said, opening a small fridge next to the massive bed, grabbing three bottles of booze, and flopped upside down on the giant fluffy thing, head hanging off the footboard to look at her guests, expertly chucking a menu and Den-Den Mushi at Sammy's feet "Order what you want kid. The rest of you want anything, you can order too". Popping the lid off with her thumb (ow), she took a swig "So! Who wants to go first, eh? How about you!"...

[Sableyezer]

Sammy was busy reading the menu when he realized he was the one the woman was pointing to. "Ah, um actually, i want to talk to the boss guy."

[CrimsonWarrior55]

To say she was surprised by this was an understatement. Most people who ask to see her either want to challenge her or bitch about her weapons. All this kid seemed to want was food. Maybe it was a ploy? Eh, what the hell? She was bored "You're talking to her. So what's up? You lookin' to take control? Did I piss you off in the past? Did I hump ya and dump ya?" she asked, putting the bottle to her lips to take a drink.

[phillmyster]

¨None of that¨ Griff swiftly interrupted ¨we're here in fact to get our ship fixed up and ready to head towards the grand line, Sammy is just kind of blunt in his approach jeje¨ Griff could not advise Sammy on anything this close to everyone, not that he would have listened anyway, he just had to hope sammy wouldn't… well….. Griff eyes just lost hope as he awaited what Sammy would do next.

[CrimsonWarrior55]

Looking between the two, Dani couldn't help but be curious as to what they were hiding. Her mind rushed through several possibilities... but then dropped them all when she realized you she could be losing a ton of money if this Griff kid took off. "Well, I hate to tell you this, but I can't let you go just yet. You two have a debt to settle. And until you do. I'm not letting you out of my sight" she said, with a lopsided grin "I mean, what if you die in Paradise? I'm outta money. What if you die in the New World? I'm outta money. What if your fulfill this crazy dream and actually make it back here? By then, you may have forgotten, and I'll have to hunt you down, and it'll just be a big mess. So. You stay with me, and work. But, once you get squared up, I'll fix your ship. Hell, I'll do it for free, too 'If I'm in the mood'. How's that sound?"...

[ladyonyx04]

As Natsu followed the map inside her head extended and she made sure to catergarize everything. "Your guards. Do you normally have them being lazy at their post? Perhaps you should have more able bodied protectors. For if an attack were to occur, they would be caught off guard." She says reasonably as she was shown to a messy room. A REALLY messy room. But being a guest and honestly not that put off by it, she sat in the bean bag assured that it was a safe place to sit. She then got into her pocket and drew out fifteen hundred belli. "I still owe you 98500." She said having done instant math for she had been taught very well how to count and get belli if need be.

[CrimsonWarrior55]

Dani shifted so her head was facing Natsu "Hm? Ike and Mike? Meh. Who said they were sleeping?" Dani grinned, although upside down it was kinda frownish "And if they are? Trust me, Honey, I don't need extra help to deal with any trouble-makers. And even if I did, those two are plenty able-bodied. After all, they only passed out in the 8th hour" she winked at Natsu as the other women pulled 1,500 berri (I'm gonna keep using berri because Funimation) from her pocket. Dani quickly snatched it up "Thank you. Looks like you two are gonna be punctual with payments. That's good. I like my money on time. Oy, Weasel. Take this down to the north dock and try to catch Marshall" She held the money out to the little man who was busy writing up his report this whole time. Exchanging it for the cash, he shuffled out the door with a bow "Yes, sir". Looking over the report, Dani glanced at Sammy "So tell me. Why'd you want to see me? I'm sure it had nothing to do with your friend's request. Your body language says that much"...

[Sableyezer]

"One of the worker guys said you had beam cannons. i want one." Sammy said plainly.

[CrimsonWarrior55]

Dani fell off the bed and onto her head with loud *THUMP* "Atatatatatat! Ow" she mumbled out as she righted herself. To say she overestimated this kid was an understatement. She was kept expecting him to drop the act any minute and act like a real pirate. But so far, he remained... well, blunt and kinda stupid. Not to mention, those beam cannons were a top secret project. She'd have to plug the leak. And she already knew who it was... damn blabbermouth. Anyways, "About that. Those aren't complete yet. In fact, I haven't started them yet. Still in the developmental process. Well... cept that one. But it's not for sale. Sorry to disappoint. Anything else you folks need?" She asked, giving an enormous yawn. She was starting to get sleepy an bored.

[ladyonyx04]

"These two," Natsu said looking at Griff then Sammy. "Are under arrest, and will have to go back to Lougetown with me." She informs matter of fact. She couldn't go back without them and she wasn't about to let any of them out of her sight for long. Besides it was her luck they had yet to get at least a half able navigator. Didn't mean she couldn't...conveniently lose them for a good week if need be. But a weeks time would be the longest she can give them. That is of course if nothing happened.

[CrimsonWarrior55]

"Hmmmmmmm... nope. Not until you two" she pointed at Natsu and Griff "Pay your debts. Then you can do whatever. Now, if you'll excuse me. *Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawn* I'm quite tired. You can sleep in the guest rooms down on the 2nd floor" she said, flipping herself over onto the bed proper "Rooms 1 and 15. Ike and Mike" she clapped twice and both men were instantly in the room "will show you the way. Ike" the bald one stepped forward "has room 1 and Mike" the bronze one shifted forward as the bald one shifted back "has room 15 on the other end". She shooed they out with a wave of her hand "Now go, I'd like to sleep now. I'll see you two tomorrow at 3 pm for work. In the forges to the south. Numbers 7 and 8 to be precise. Now goodni... Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz" she had immediately begun snoring... Wow, she fell asleep fast...
