Business as usual meaning never a dull moment on the Grand Line

[justicereigns]

doubt_me Count me in on this game Wolf.

Whoever is on deck swabbing duty, please make sure to deal with the blood stain appropriately.

I have a special job and I'm taking volunteers.

Tashigi, I got one. Her name is Suzie. And I used the jitte. It's weaker, but thanks. I'll just get stronger.



Karen, a word?
Yuzuriha, Pearl, Trucy, Happy, Lala, likewise, a word please.
Nevan, when are you leaving and when are you getting back?

Tsuzuki is in the infirmary. It better not be for long. All marines are to be on notice and keep an eye out for anything suspicious. Should you see something that fits the description, report it to me immediately.

There's a storm front coming and I want all able hands ready at a moment's notice. It looks to be lethal.

Garp... No. Forget it.

To pirate scum? Go to hell. No exceptions.

A pup...? I'll help as much as I can...

Happy might have to get used to a dog... but if the pup is raised to get along with cats, it should be fine...

[justicereigns]

Not a dog person?

[amethystsregret.livejournal.com]

I love animals... I just... I'm a little tired...

[justicereigns]

Tsuzuki, I don't mean now. And it's not really meant to be much work.

It's a hare-brained scheme by people who like you to cheer you up. You'll have help dealing with her.

[amethystsregret.livejournal.com]

Cheer me... up...?

Th-Thank you then...

[justicereigns]

If it didn't work, don't bother. If it did, thank someone else.

[amethystsregret.livejournal.com]

Then who do I have to thank... sir...?

[justicereigns]

Tashigi.

[amethystsregret.livejournal.com]

I will thank her then...

Private

[justicereigns]

Mm-hm, good.

Pearls joined the game, I'm not thrilled either, but the only way to deal with this thing is the same way anyone survives on this ocean. Watching each other's backs. I don't want her left alone during any part of the day. I told her if she wasn't with me, Tashigi, or Trucy to come to you because I trust you. The evil rabbit said the wolves are in full control of themselves so we know the wolf can't be me or her as neither of us would kill. Seems to me like it operates the same as dealing with killers in general.

Oh god! You're in the game now?! How can he drag children into this?!

I'll protect her, Commodore... but please be careful!

Re: Private

[justicereigns]

I will find him and end him.

Tsuzuki, no one is going to be able to kill me.

Don't forget, you're in it too. Did you think I would let you do it alone? I know full well what I'm doing Tsuzuki. I'm very good at my job and this is my job dressed up in colorful wrapping paper to market it to kids and the naive.

Re: Private

[amethystsregret.livejournal.com]

Thank you... I just can't help thinking about the innocent people this man has killed by now... I feel useless...!

Even Muraki was above this...! This is so detacted and twisted...!

Re: Private

[justicereigns]

You're not. Work with me and we'll find him.

I wish I could say I haven't seen worse. At least he isn't directly forcing the wolves to kill, they're just monsters who do on their own. The shichibukai are not above such tactics.

Re: Private

[amethystsregret.livejournal.com]

I'll work with you. I want to stop this. These people must be scared out of their minds...

I see... but the innocents are still frightened of each other... Their fear is the true weapon of this Rabbit...

Re: Private

[justicereigns]

Yes. The goal is to scare them, to make them doubt each other because only by working together can they protect each from the wolf. That's why it's called "Rabbit Doubt" I assume. As I said; there's a reason pirate crews exist on this ocean. You can't go it alone.

Re: Private

[amethystsregret.livejournal.com]

I know that fact well...

Commodore... Did I mention that my Ofuda can be used as a means of restraint?

Re: Private

[justicereigns]

Oh, how so?

Re: Private

[amethystsregret.livejournal.com]

Basic Ofuda is taught as a means to retreive souls and spirits, but a master can use it on a physical level as well. You recall my talisman whip? If need be, I could restrain a 'wolf'.

I could also raise a barrier to cloak 'things from view'. Could that be of help?

Re: Private

[justicereigns]

Hn. I can handle any wolf when identified.

Yes. Keep Pearl safe. We'll need to keep tabs and watch who else says yes, it means they'll all be playing and probably in our district.

Re: Private

[amethystsregret.livejournal.com]

When Pearl gets down here, I can raise a barrier in the infirmary...

Re: Private

[justicereigns]

It doesn't need to be immediately. I trust my men and the game hasn't even started in our district. Assuming she's in the same one.

Re: Private

[amethystsregret.livejournal.com]

If only we knew what districts were where...

Re: Private

[justicereigns]

Indeed. Assuming the recent rash of disappearances is linked we might be able to spot a pattern but using the journals it spans all over the world. I assume the colonies have to be relatively close or the wolf wouldn't be able to murder anyone.

Re: Private

[amethystsregret.livejournal.com]

Disappearances?! Oh god...!

Have the higher ups said anything?!
