My my~

There seems to have been a sudden rash of casinos taken down! My leads point to Mello. So do several clues at the scenes of the crimes.

Strange happenings.

Havoc I've got a few captured pirates I need the marines to deal with. Think you can handle that honey? Paperwork is all filled out and everything!

And it seems a certain devil fruit user pirate was taken down recently. I wonder who could have done that~

I picked this up from the rubble:

Honestly. Some people have no taste. Maybe there's a good way to separate it.

He has a girlfriend. Juniper. A dryad.

[doubleppk]

Ohhh, nice going Grover!

[sonoftheseadog.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know.

[doubleppk]

Heh. So how'd he wind up going with you on the missions and everything?

[sonoftheseadog.livejournal.com]

He's my best friend. And he's helpful in a pinch.

[doubleppk]

Yeah? I never was clear what satyrs do usually. Aside from knowledge and panpipes.

[sonoftheseadog.livejournal.com]

He can cause things to grow with his pipes. And he's really smart. Which I guess is just knowledge and panpipes. But...it's hard to explain. He's really helpful in a pinch. Seriously.

[doubleppk]

Sweet!

And I believe you. He sounds way more useful than the idiots I work with.

[sonoftheseadog.livejournal.com]

Why do you work with them if they're not useful?

[doubleppk]

They have their moments. I said Gover sounds more useful, not that they're completely useless, you know. There's levels to this sort of thing. And Lupin isn't called the best thief in the world for nothing.

[sonoftheseadog.livejournal.com]

Fair enough, I guess. So they're also...treasure hunters, or whatever you are?

[doubleppk]

We all do different things.

Lupin's just a thief, pure and simple. He wants to be the world's greatest and get an even bigger reputation than his grandfather. Jigen is a sharpshooter, used to be with a few mafia, now he's just glued to Lupin's hip or something. Pain in the ass... And Goemon is a swordsman and thief. He was also hired to kill Lupin once, but no one can kill Lupin, you know? And Jigen has dibs on it he says. That's why they're friends. The only ones who can kill you are your friends.

[sonoftheseadog.livejournal.com]

I...see.

I think I'd be pissed if one of my friends killed me.

[doubleppk]

That's why I don't do friends. Any time I let someone get close enough it's always been a mistake. People here are... weird. Different. I don't know... I've been here over a year and I'm still waiting for the explosion to happen, but so far it hasn't yet.

[sonoftheseadog.livejournal.com]

How can you not do friends? Friends are...the most important thing in life.

[doubleppk]

Tch.

Not really. What's the point if you can't even survive?

[sonoftheseadog.livejournal.com]

...what's the point of surviving if you don't have any friends?

[doubleppk]

Surviving. Period. There's still life to experience and treasures to find. You can't if you're dead.

[sonoftheseadog.livejournal.com]

I don't think that sounds like a very fulfilling life.

[doubleppk]

Better than no life.

[sonoftheseadog.livejournal.com]

...I disagree. I would die for my friends. Without them there wouldn't be anything to live for.

[doubleppk]

Lupin would die for his friends too.

I'm not so eager to find people I'd be willing to die for only to have them try to kill me for it. It hurts and then I don't die and just get to deal with it all over again.

[sonoftheseadog.livejournal.com]

Well then he and I probably have the same fatal flaw.

I'm sorry you've had such crappy experiences with people in the past.

[doubleppk]

Hn. It's not the worst thing out there.

Tch. People are people. They're just like that. Leopards don't change their spots and a wolf is always a wolf.

[sonoftheseadog.livejournal.com]

As far as fatal flaws go, I guess not.

Well I know some pretty amazing people.
