Late on the 6th [Voice]

Right, this is Smoker. I'm back in my own body, thanks to everyone who helped when I was a kid, and you know... during the shift.

Jitte and kickboxing lessons will be delayed until the 10th, but that doesn't mean stop practicing. Keep up the exercises, because I'll be very disappointed if any of you start slipping.

For anyone else interested in joining in, I teach basic self defense, kickboxing, and jitte. There are one-on-one sessions and group sessions, feel free to ask about a schedule because with the drafts ongoing, at least you can learn something to get a fighting chance for survival.

And who still here in the village knows anything about motorcycles? A friend recently reminded me life can be too short not to pursue some things.

Lupin, if you still remember the thing I asked Red about, I'd like to discuss it.

Kotomi-chan, if it's not a bad memory, whatever did happen with the paper your father was writing?

... Hmm, I think I get it a little.. [ she nods to herself. ]

I'd like it though if Smoker-kun could get more postive experiences in the future though. Smoker-kun is a really, really nice person, so he deserves a lot of love.

Well, I'm dating Grell here... so we'll see how that goes.

[He says like it hasn't been a year (intermittently).]

[ yes, she's clapping her hands since she's giving applause. ]

Congratulations. [ as if it's something new.. ] I hope you become very, very happy. I'm rooting for Smoker-kun for sure.

[Bright, BRIGHT red over here. Guh. He can't even handle compliments from pirates, he has no idea how to handle someone rooting for him to do well in... love? Yeah... definitely no idea.]

Thanks. I'll try not to mess it up. [Really that seems like the thing to say. Oh, if she only knew...]

... For a mission. Like you said, something to do.

Right. Just another way to get stronger too.

[ Yeah, Hyoga was getting kind of annoyed hearing it from Ikki. ]

...what do you do here? For that long, I mean. [ or anywhere at all actually since he doesn't really know what to do with himself when there's no world saving to do. ]

[He and Smoker can commiserate and form a plan to make Ikki knock it off.]

Mostly I train jitte at the barracks.

At first I was just trying to work my way through the library and read every mystery and political book they had. I guess sometimes I still read a few. But mostly I've been teaching basic self-defense. The drafts are pretty indiscriminate here and just because someone doesn't know how to fight doesn't mean they won't get chosen. So at least they can try to learn in advance.

[Plus he's a little obsessed with getting stronger all the time. Oh and he stalks the Straw Hat pirates, also obsessively. But he's not about to admit to either of those things.]

[ he's quiet for a long while after hearing that. It's not something he could do, it just doesn't suit him and though he did spend most of his life training he's not sure how he can train here. Not without disrupting the natural environment anyways. He thought about the library but that requires being in the village regularly. ]

What does Ikki do? [ it occurs to him he should just ask Ikki that but he doesn't really field general questions and Hyoga doesn't like getting too specific in case he steps on something he's not supposed to. ]

[A shrug. Sorry Hyoga.]

You'd have to ask him. Lately he's been coming to some of my lesson, but mostly to check on Kotomi-chan I think.

[If it's that kind of mission. Personally, Don prefers running in the woods.]

[That's a type of getting stronger too. Kind of.]

They have before. Actually I think that might almost be worse. People get here get stir-crazy.

Though I guess it wouldn't be quite as bad without Blackbeard around now. [Still, there are villains in Luceti and people willing to create mischief if they can get away with it.]

True enough, but a lot of them like to have the option to at least learn how to handle it if nothing else.

Well, it's not like there's a lot to do here.

[He pauses fora bit, and takes a swig.] Without him, this place is a lot better than I thought.

Correct. Just about anything in my world can be a devil fruit.

Correct on that too. She has the Hana Hana no Mi. If it I wasn't careful I wound up looking like a caterpillar.

So you sink like a rock.

[Amusement creeps into his voice.]

Do be careful with the puddles that form in the rain; their depths can be most surprising.

[What's a little teasing?]

[Grunts and takes another drink.]

Agreed, actually.

[Not that he would expect Ace to think otherwise but he still seems a little taken aback at having to agree with a pirate, even over mutual seething hatred/dislike of another. But that said, he can't let the agreement last long.]

There's always training though. [Although yeah, it's hella difficult to find things to do.]

[He just shrugs.] Even that gets old after a while.

Haha, I can handle anything as large as a bathtub.

[No but really, flooding is a big concern for obvious reasons.]

Maybe you just need something to liven it up.

Ahaha - found dead in the bath, naked as a babe. Can you imagine?

[Oh Isaac...]

Yeah, I think I'll try to avoid that. For obvious reasons.

Of course. [All slimy and sly, that tone.]

[Oh joy.]

Of course if you don't want the same fate you might want to avoid devil fruits. Your call though. Assuming one even shows up.
