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.

What...?

Re: Private

[justicereigns]

You are. Almost too much for this job.

Re: Private

[amethystsregret.livejournal.com]

Hm... Well it's better than killing people...

Thank you though...

Re: Private

[justicereigns]

Agreed.

But don't then be so surprised if I worry more about you than others.

Re: Private

[amethystsregret.livejournal.com]

Why would that be... Smoker...?

[OOC: Oh my god!]

Re: Private

[justicereigns]

Because you're too gentle to hurt someone even when out of control. The others deliberately hurt while in control. Your path is a good one but it's likely to bring you the most pain of all.

Re: Private

[amethystsregret.livejournal.com]

I'm sure there are those that suffer more than I...

I don't claim to be good because I'm not all good... There's a killer sleeping inside of me that I can't ignore... Why do you think I'm so good...?

Re: Private

[justicereigns]

Because you are kid. You're better than I... hn.

You just are.

Everyone has a killer inside them, you fight it more than most.

Re: Private

[amethystsregret.livejournal.com]

You don't give yourself enough credit, Smoker... You are a good man...

Everyone...? I can think of a few that don't have a drop of bad in them here on the Grand Line...

Re: Private

[justicereigns]

Perhaps, but I'm certainly not gentle and I like roughing up pirates who piss me off.

Perhaps but even they have a killer in them, just carefully tucked away. And children just aren't old enough. Humans are predators Tsuzuki. They have killing instincts. It's what someone does with them that matters.

Re: Private

[amethystsregret.livejournal.com]

Just because you like to rough up pirates doesn't make you bad...

Humans can be predators... but they are more often than not prey...

Re: Private

[justicereigns]

I didn't say I was bad, I said you were gentle.

Perhaps. That is why I hunt the predators.

Re: Private

[amethystsregret.livejournal.com]

And I'll follow their trail with you...

Re: Private

[justicereigns]

Just don't get hurt.

Re: Private

[amethystsregret.livejournal.com]

Physically...? Or emotionally...?

Re: Private

[justicereigns]

All of it.

Re: Private

[amethystsregret.livejournal.com]

Physically, I'm fine... Emotionally, I'll get over it... I always do...

Re: Private

[justicereigns]

I don't just mean this instance.

Re: Private

[amethystsregret.livejournal.com]

Neither am I, Smoker...

Re: Private

[justicereigns]

Hn. Good.

Re: Private

[amethystsregret.livejournal.com]

The world stops for no one... Why should I be an exception...?

Re: Private

[justicereigns]

Worried you'll be left behind?

Re: Private

[amethystsregret.livejournal.com]

That's how this ocean is... isn't it...?

Move forward or get left for the beasts...

Re: Private

[justicereigns]

Yes.

And I don't let my men fall behind.

Re: Private

[amethystsregret.livejournal.com]

That's reassuring to know...
