[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.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Well, she's figured out how to work the video portion of the journals... Beware, Luceti.]

Hello Smoker. My name is Saori. Am I to understand that you teach martial arts at the barracks? While I sincerely doubt there is much you could actually teach me, I would very much like to have someone to practice with. What time are these classes held?

I do.

Daily. Open group sessions for jitte are at 3, group sessions for martial arts at 5.

One-on-one lessons or sparring vary. [Because everyone comes and goes or gets shifted or goes on missions so it's fluid.] But they're also daily.

And what do you spar with, Smoker? A jitte? Your fists?

If it's martial arts or kick boxing, then fists and boots.

If it's against swords or other weapons then jitte.

Do you have any supernatural martial arts in your repertoire?

[A mysterious smile plays across her lips. This is the real test]

I do, but I don't use devil fruit if I can avoid it.

[Err, he would spar someone who showed him they could hold their own against his smoke, but not wind types, because that would be dumb.]

Oh? You have one of those fruits as well? Curious. Does it have to do with smoke?

[Genuine interest now]

Yes, actually. How'd you guess?

[You know. Two cigars and name aside. :| Seriously, you'd be amazed how no one seems to get his devil fruit is probably smoke anymore. Even Smoker's gotten used to them somehow being oblivious to this. Even when he tells people it's smoke, they seem surprised. He thinks he's so opaque.]

The cigars and a name were my first guess, your hair a second. For a third? Consider me to be a bit more intuitive than most mortals.

My hair is green-grey I'll have you know. Been like this since I was a kid.

[/Tsuns at.]

You're not mortal?

Not in the slightest.

Mind if I ask what you are then?

Here? A resident. At home? I am a Kami called the Daughter of Wind and Rain. A god of storms.

[And she quirks her head to one side]

Are you a pirate?

Hn. Figures. I don't mind storms, but I'm not as much an expert in my logia as I'd like, so until then I'd prefer not to test it against experts, if you don't mind.

[His eyes narrow irritably.] Marine. [Gosh, you didn't notice the pirate hate in the first part?]

That is alright. I'll be there shortly, if you are up for private practice.

[Gosh no! She doesn't pay attention to that]

Oh, a Marine? Do you...storm beaches from ships? I don't think I know what a Marine does except for yells a lot.

Sure, I've got the time.

We work for justice and capture pirates.

Then I will be there shortly.

[As she's walking...]

Justice? Who's justice?

Ideally, true justice.

[But he's come to acknowledge that's not so common.]

Hmm. True justice. What does that mean to you, Smoker?

[Nosy questions one and all! She likes to know more about people before she fights with them, but she's hurrying.]

A lot of things.

If you want a philosophy lesson go research in the library. Or see for yourself by my actions. [Smoker can be pushed on a justice!TL;DR button, but not that easily. Especially not when he's already cranky.]

Of course. The truth can always be found in the heart of battle.

[She's arrived by now, and stands outside the barracks, waiting for anyone who looks like the man in the video feed]

[Good, because he's got nothing more to say that. Just sort of an uneasy feeling that she's reading his mind.]

[He's already there practicing warm-ups by the time she sees him, swinging the jitte around, even though the plan is to fight barehanded.]

Ah, Smoker! Hello!

[She waves happily, walking up and admiring his swings. He's very, very strong...the whistling of the jitte as it swings alone tells her that much.]

[Grunts a hello along with a wave as he slides the jitte into the leather straps to hold it in place when he doesn't wear the jacket.]

Glad to see you found it easily enough.

It was shown to me by a friend before, so it wasn't hard to find.

[She smiles casually and offers a hand in greeting.]

Its nice to meet you. Is this your training ground?
