[There is absolutely no preamble to this, Smoker just jumps straight into what he considers the most important part in his usual growling tone. And he might be a little extra ticked off with his justice bro being gone. So there's that.]

I'm not sure which of you idiot pirates has my cuffs or what you're planning to do with them, but rest assured if I do not get them returned immediately, I will hunt you down to find them. And I will not be happy when I do. [He says like he's ever happy.]

For the rest of Luceti, welcome new feathers.

My name is Smoker and I'm still offering a variety of self defense classes outside the barracks daily, rain or shine. Jitte, kickboxing, it doesn't matter if you have no experience, if you want to learn you can stop by. Just because you're stuck here doesn't mean you can't keep getting stronger.

[And just like that he slams the journal shut, back to practicing jitte over by the barracks if someone wants to find him in person. He'll also be at the bar later that night drinking alone and looking grumpy.]

[Blushes again and grins back before kissing the tip of her nose playfully.]

I'm quite fond of it now that you're here. Somehow more beautiful.

[Okay he's never going to be good at flirting, but he's trying.]

[She smirks at that and slips her arms around his neck.]

Mm, so what is your plan for bringing these thieves to justice?

Beat them senseless with my jitte.

[Stated completely unironically.] Though first I need to figure out which ones and why.

[Nfufufu] You do know how to send chills down my spine~

Well, where were they last and who was closest to access them?

[It's so good that needless violence turns her on....]

In my jacket pocket. The only time I can think of is when the Demon of Ohara and I traded places.

Shall I squeeze a little until one of them breaks and tells you where they are?

Tempting...

[But he should handle it himself. Then again, it'd be nice to make it clear to the pirates that just because his justice-cop-bro was gone didn't mean he was alone.]

All right, but no permanent damage.

Oh, but that takes all the fun out of it. [She pouts and then pulls away, bowing with a flourish of her hand.] But as you wish. Where should I start?

Have you ever met the Surgeon of Death or Ohara's Demon Woman before?

I'll need names or descriptions, love. These titles don't mean much to me.

Trafalgar Law and Nico Robin.

They're both pirates, but I'm still trying to find out their connection.

Perhaps they've become friends since arriving? Or have a mutual friend. Or foe.

[she looks at Smoker for a moment and then smiles.]

I'll see what I can find out. Investigations are a part of life for death gods.

[Almost relaxes instantly at that.] Thanks Kitten, that's a load off my mind.

[Kisses her cheek!]

[She leans into the kiss a little and smiles, pleased with herself. She gets to have a little fun and people will think she's doing it for good reasons. Win win.]

So which should I take first? I could follow them both, of course, but having a good idea of where to start will make forcing them to talk so much easier.

[Thinks it over, folded arms and gruff as ever.]

Normally I'd say Law is the bigger threat, but Nico Robin is more likely to have information. Then again, if her conversation is any indication, she might just send you to him.

Then again, I'm not sure he wouldn't just send you back to her.
