I found my jacket and cuffs, loaded up on free cigars, still haven't found my jitte.

If anyone's seen a big-ass metal and seastone stick kicking around, I'd like it back. Assuming it's in this place.

Downside to finding the jacket, it doesn't fit over the damned wings. It looks like I'll either have to cut holes into the jacket or get a new one. Damn it. Anyone know of a better solution? What do you people usually do for it?

Still haven't seen any other marines, but just in case Long-Nose is lying, if any exist here: report in immediately.

I ain't a Marine, but I'm a Shichibukai! Will that do? ...Or did ya mean some other kinda Marine? Is the term "Grand Line" familiar to ya?

[Technically former, but maybe Smoker doesn't know that. What point in the series is he from?]

Shut up pirate. I'm sure your status will be revoked soon enough. Unless the dickheads up the chain are even stupider than I give them credit for.

[580 -- so yeah Smoker knows about the killing Whitebeard and freeing parts of Level 6.]

I don't care if they revoke my status or not! At this point, it don't really matter, given the sorry state that the Marines are in! It ain't like they can enforce anything with all o' the cleanin' up they gotta do! [Plus, he already quit.]

[ Quiet pause, then soft grunt. ] Hn. We'll do fine.

Re: [voice]

[justicereigns]

What the hell are you doing here anyway?

[voice]

[zehahaha.livejournal.com]

I dunno! There's a bunch o' people from our world here, though I wouldn't think you'd care that much. None o' them are Marines, an' there wouldn't be much point in arrestin' any pirates, seein' as there ain't any place to lock 'em up!

Ah, sounds like you're another military man. I'm no marine, though. I'm a ranger.

[He's just guessing from the command to report in. He's never even heard of a marine.]

[justicereigns]

What kind of ranger?

[point015625.livejournal.com]

I work for the Sheldar Rangers. We fight rebels and rogue genics to protect the people of Sheldar.

[justicereigns]

Sheldar... I'm not familiar with the name, but it sounds important.

Rogue genics?

[point015625.livejournal.com]

Genics are genetically engineered animals. They're used as food, labor, and sometimes even weapons. Occasionally they get loose and go wild. In this rogue state, they might attack humans, so they usually have to be killed.

You can press the wings in on your back, but that's painful until you get used to it. [Plus doesn't work on particularly tight clothing. Which is why he only puts his jackets, not his shorts, over his wings]

[Voice]

[justicereigns]

Hn. So it's a matter of willpower?

[Voice]

[antisilent.livejournal.com]

That's one way of putting it. you could try holding them to your back with tape or wrappings if you can't do it manually yet.

Re: [Voice]

[justicereigns]

That seems the best solution then. Practice should help to get stronger if nothing else.

[Voice]

[antisilent.livejournal.com]

That's what I think too. That said, it's also easier to cut holes if it's not that important. [...But you die if your wings are cut off so he would prefer to have something obscuring them]

You can always alter the clothing to fit. Though cutting holes would be the crude way to do that.

Re: [text]

[justicereigns]

Are there other ways? It's a one-of-a-kind jacket. I'd rather not chop it up unless I have to.

[text]

[inheritsfate.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid I haven't found another way yet. You could always wear something else while you're here.

Re: [text]

[justicereigns]

If that's the option, I'd rather go shirtless entirely.

[inheritsfate.livejournal.com]

Well if you do decide to alter the jacket just try to do it in a way that won't damage it more than necessary. At least you can still mend it when you leave.

[standsonhands.livejournal.com]

How nice is the jacket?

Re: [voice]

[justicereigns]

My leather motorcycle jacket. Only one like it.

[voice]

[standsonhands.livejournal.com]

Don't cut holes in it then!

Just save it, maybe your wings will fall off and you can use it.

Re: [voice]

[justicereigns]

I was under the impression that attempting to remove them results in death? [Sounds a little amused.]
