justicereigns | [ 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.]

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

That bad, huh?

Yea. People there never figured out that if you fight a blood feud, it will keep going forever, or until you're all dead.

Sounds like a few pirates in my world, but so long as they're busy killing each other off, at least they rarely mix civilians into it.

Eh, what can you do? Let em, but beat the snot out of them when they show their faces.

Exactly!

It's the best way to fight pirates anyway.

Whelp, I guess I'll see you later then Smokey? We should totally teach these yokels some defense. And get back to me about the watch, wouldya? Lets try for dinner and a few drinks later on, yea?

You bet Inspector. Nice to have someone who knows what it's like on the force around here.
