[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.]

I don't want to be cute. And why would pirates even have seastone cuffs unless they stole them from marines? That doesn't make any sense.

Tch. Fine. Keep it that way.

Despicable... [Giggle, Perona's enjoying herself so much.]

What I meant, was that if you were honest with me, I wouldn't believe you either! If you stole something precious of mine, I may blame you first - because I don't like you. Isn't that what you're doing now? But for all you know, it could have been any resident that took your seastone handcuffs! Or maybe the Malnosso took them away, who knows? Yet you assume it was us pirates?

I'd have believed a marine so well known would be less petty. Horohorohoro...but you're all the same. You point fingers and blame without looking for facts.

I'm quite certain Nico Robin is involved as she's the only one who had opportunity.

Only pirates have motive, means, or knowledge of the cuffs to care and the Malnosso aren't in the habit of taking items already in possession by us away. Furthermore, the Whitebeard commanders purloined my jitte before, so don't impugn my investigation efforts. I didn't simply jump to the gun, I spent several days investigating before demanding the return.

[Hmph, Perona's smile is gone now, and she just sneers instead. Blech, all that military word-vomit. She has no care for it, nor of the one doing the talking. In fact, she stops paying close attention after a while, her face taking on a bored and uncaring expression.]

Yet if you were so certain that the Straw Hat woman was to blame, then why accuse me?! I have nothing to do with those people, and they're as much my enemies as anyone else's! Don't group me together with them!

Tsk. Straw Hat has a knack for making his enemies into allies. Until such a time, you're suspicious.

[Suspicious, but not a suspect. I'm sure that's great comfort to her.]

[No, not really. In fact, it's rather insulting. Naive though it may be, Perona was content with her mentality of being safe from the marine and World Government's influence by siding with a Shichibukai, and being falsely accused of something she had no part in at all (she didn't even know about the seastone cuffs!) is enraging. Suspicious? Just because she's a pirate? Well fuck you, too, Smoker.

She snorts, mutters an insult under her breath, and snaps her journal shut. She doesn't need to play with stupid, rude people...!]
