[ voice ] Confiscating Pirate Ships, hello new feathers, teaching self-defense

Hello new feathers and old.

First off, I'm Captain Smoker. [Those who know otherwise can point out that he's a commodore, and that it doesn't even matter in this place.] I teach kickboxing, basic self defense, and jitte for anyone who would need it. I can also help spar against swordsmen if they're looking to expand their skills. Every so often a draft goes out taking people at random; kids and civilians alike, so even a little bit of practice can help. There are other self defense classes being taught so I'm sure we could work something out between teachers and create a formal schedule if need be.

Secondly, there's a lot of discussion about putting together a more permanent form of police or watch group to deal as first responders to threats to the village. Since that doesn't seem like something that will get worked out too easily, I'd like to suggest making a safe haven of the barracks. Anyone who can't or doesn't want to fight could safely put there in emergencies and defenders could keep watch.

On a different note; Jack Sparrow I'm confiscating your ship. Your previous acts of piracy here in Luceti have shown you're not to be trusted with one. Now let that be a lesson to other would-be pirates here.

[ooc: yeah, no, even Smoker doesn't expect that to work so feel free to tell him to fuck off. He just promised to give it a try, and he misses beating up pirates =\ Anyways, please do yell at him for overstepping bounds, though he really won't give a fuck.]

Hehe, yea, I'm a Japanese cop, we all learn a bit of jitte, I just liked it a lot more than the rest.

Thanks for the welcome, Captain. Normally, I'd be kinda mad, since it obstructs my search for that bastard Lupin but its pretty plain that someone needs to arrest these Malnosso jerks. What force do you serve with anyway? I'm with Interpol

Best weapon there is in my opinion.

I'm with the marines. Originally from the East Blue, re-stationed to the Grand Line in order to chase Straw-Hat Luffy. I'm from a different world than you most likely.

Who's Lupin?

[Video flickers to life, Zenigata's face appearing, with a pair of cuffs twirling]
Haha, second best weapon, Captain. A pair of handcuffs will serve where you can't swing a jitte.

Lupin...is a thief from a famous family of crooks. He's pretty good, a real criminal mastermind. But he's not here...so I have to look for new prey.

Who's Luffy?

Hah. [GRINS. He likes the style.] You don't have any seastone ones do you? Besides, those are difficult to get on anyone until they're pinned.

Criminal mastermind huh? What kind of new prey have you got in mind?

Monkey D. Luffy, alias "Straw-Hat" is pirate who wants to be the next Pirate King, and the only pirate to escape Loguetown while I was stationed there. His family includes a marine hero, and the most wanted man in the world; the Revolutionary Dragon. And a pirate brother who was also infamous until his execution. -- Straw-Hat is my prey.

Seastone? Why the heck would I need seastone? Its really easy to get cuffs on people though. Lemme show ya. [Zenigata twirls the cuffs around like a bola, and hurls them at a tree, the camera zooming in to show the cuffs snapping around two separate branches]

See, ranged cuffing.

I've arrested quite a few pirates in my day. Whats this...Strawhat like? and is he here?

[That is just beautiful. Don't mind Smoker staring a little.]

That is the best attack I've ever seen. Hah! I'd like to see Garp's cannonballs do that.

You arrest pirates too? Any strong bounties? [Seriously, so thrilled.]

Straw-Hat's here, and he's mostly a cheerful rubbery nuisance. He's not the worst criminal here, but he's certainly the most likely to become the next Pirate King. He fights some of more problematic criminals and hasn't really disrupted the peace here, but the minute he does, he's mine.

[The Inspector gets the sense that Smoker is from a slightly less "modern" world, but grins at the compliment]

Yea, I arrest pirates too. There aren't a lot in my world, though. They all kinda...moved onto land.

Your Straw-Hat sounds a lot like Lupin. Lupin's a pretty nice guy, even helps me arrest some of the more violent crooks out there. All he really does is steal stuff, but he's damn clever. He's also really cheerful, more a nuisance than anything since he really only steals stuff from rich guys and crooks.

What do you mean by "bounties" though? D'you marines get paid for grabbing bigger pirates?

[Yes. Plus even for One Piece's cyborgs, Lupin III can be a bit scifi...]

You must have less ocean in your world.

That's... a little like Straw-Hat. [AWKWARD PAUSE. He will only admit that Luffy saved his life if he absolutely has to or is backed into a corner.] Not too many people would call him clever, but seeing as he broke into Impel Down without a problem, saved a country, declared war on the world government... then again he punched a tenryuubito and only an idiot would do that... [Inner conflict here.] He also protects Keimi and helped the princess... [Chomps on cigars.] If your Lupin isn't that bad, why are you still trying to catch him? [Deciding factor!]

Well, kind of. It's more like a measuring stick. Not that they're at all accurate these days.

[Zenigata nods, having no idea what the Captain is talking about, but getting the feeling that Luffy really is more of a troublemaker and less of a common crook. When he starts talking about Lupin, his voice starts out a mumble, gradually rising as he gets more impassioned.]

Why am I chasing Lupin? Because its my job. I'm a police man, and Lupin is a thief. He causes all kinds of trouble, wrecks important monuments, steals from people, and is in general just a nuisance. He's not a violent criminal, like some people, but he's still a criminal and as a cop its *my* job to bring him in. Being a nice guy doesn't make him any less of a thieving bastard. I made it my life's goal to bring him in, and I will do it.

[He grudingly respects Lupin for his intellect, and knows Lupin feels the same way. They've been at this cat and mouse game forever, but deep down Zenigata knows...that he likes the chase more than the prospect of actually catching Lupin]

Yeah... yeah. That's exactly it. Tch.

Well, except your Lupin probably isn't going to nearly destroy the world and possibly quite accidentally at that; I presume?

[Zenigata actually laughs at the thought]

Nah, Lupin is pretty harmless that way. He's a thief, and a crook, and a bastard, and it's our job to stop people like that too, yea?

Yeah, exactly. Definitely the job. Even a little crime is still a crime.

[Actually relaxes a bit. Someone who's not yelling at him for his sense of justice ;; so rare.]

You got that right. Is it tough being the law in your world too? No respect from anyone, and lots of punk kids messin' with your stuff.

[Zenigata never thought he'd find another true hound of justice...but they do exist...]

That is exactly how it is.

Brass always breathing down your neck for some political reason or other, always forgetting true justice and throwing fits about "jurisdiction" or other bullshit.

[Best friends ever.]

Your tellin' me. I'm lucky enough to have worldwide jurisdiction, but nobody seems to care how many criminals go free. Just so long as the men upstairs have a good department arrest record, there are no political upsets, and you observe all those petty little rules. Sometimes I wonder if the real crooks aren't the upper level lawmen.

[Indeed. So uncanny how similar they are]

Worldwide jurisdiction? Seriously? How'd you get that?

Tch... they're all like that! Letting bad pirates go for political gain, convincing themselves that shichibukai are allies even they're just using them. [Annoyed grow.]

Yea, seriously. My world has this organization called Interpol, International Police. Essentially, its cops that can go from country to country.

Shichibukai? Thats a mouthful. What're they?

Oh, kind of like a marine then... But you weren't stationed anywhere specific or things like that?

Shichibukai are warlords of the sea. Err, the history books in the library mention privateers. It's similar to that, but there's only 7 at a time. In theory they're there to help the marines hold the 4 pirate emperors at bay, in practice however, they're pirates who swear fealty that means nothing. So far one tried to overthrow a country and find a weapon to take over the world, another completely rebelled and went on a rampage rather than help against the pirate emperor, another was never helping the government and they were idiots for it -- he broke out ton of world class criminals from pirate prison, and yet another attacked marines during the battle, broke my seastone jitte and stopped me from arresting Straw-Hat. Bitch.

Yea, something like that. My jurisdiction is really just for Japan, my home country. Any criminal who commits a crime in Japan, I can track anywhere in the world to bring them in. They get tried in a World Court, though.

And yea, it really does sound like these Shichibukai guys are bad news. I remember reading about privateers in my own world, in college, and they were always turncoats and traitors. Justice needs to be kept on a leash.

[theres that seastone again...he's curious]
Seastone? Whats so special about that?

Still more free reign than I had. Sounds like your world is pretty organized.

Hn... once a pirate, always a pirate.

[Takes his ridiculously long jitte off his shoulders and taps the tip (not the handle) with gloved fingers.] Hardest substance known to mankind, tougher than diamonds, tougher than anything. It gives off the same resonance as the ocean so all devil fruit users are weak to it. Devil fruit abilities are a type of superpower in my world. For the rest, I'd have to show you in person.

[Because he's not about to let any of the other pirates here get their hands on his baby. Again. ;;]

You could call it organized, in a manner of speaking. The rules are there, but some places are real shitholes. Freakin' Africa is about as lawless as it gets, people killing people over pigs and cows.

Devil fruit powers? So...you have to fight like...supervillains, and you've got your very own kryptonite eh? Sounds pretty cool. But, why does it matter if its made of sea-stone? Whats the significance of the resonance?

[Nothing gets by the Inspector, these little details are the most important]

Is Africa an island or ocean?

Ocean is a devil fruit user's weakness.

Africa is a continent, its pretty damn big. And the whole place is a damn pigsty
