[Voice] Jitte, Self-Defense, and Executions

[justicereigns]

Hello New Feathers and old, I'm Cap-- Err Smoker. [Wow Proof he has done this message way too many times, he momentarily forgot his own rank. Woops. Not that it even matters here.]

I teach jitte, kickboxing, and basic self-defense outside the barracks, and it's open to anyone, no matter how inexperienced. As you may have heard by now, every so often the Malnosso take people at random for drafts, and while non-combatants have other opportunities to help support, any self defense can help.

For others, I wanted to ask about other world's or country's history regarding executions. Are there any that changed the world, or have other people here seen them personally?

Thanks.

Mm, I guess that's true. Mother-sama was that way.

[Her voice trails off quietly. It still hurts to think about her mother's death, but she's had enough time to heal enough that she doesn't immediately cry every time.]

Sh- she was trying to change the world, and was killed for it. Is that one of the things you wanted to hear about?

[justicereigns]

Sorry.

If it doesn't hurt you to talk about, I wouldn't mind. [Getting to know about Keimi's Island's history definitely seems important, and Smoker has a bit of a blind spot on Fishman history given how backwards the world government at large still is about it.]

There isn't much else to say. Mother-sama wanted us to be able to live with humans up on the surface in the wide sunlight. But people were scared, and some people didn't want us to go to the surface. So they killed her and blamed a human so that everyone would get mad and hold a grudge. Mother-sama asked us not to, though...

[Shirahoshi's used to basically everyone knowing her family's history, so sharing it comes easily, even if the telling of it is more difficult and by the end her lower lip is trembling. She's been reminded of all the work that needs to be done in her kingdom so that they can have enough signatures to go to Reverie and gain recognition from the World Government, and it makes her sick inside that her father and brothers are now bearing that load without her.]

I- I really need to get back soon...

[justicereigns]

She sounds like a very strong person.

[And that she wanted her daughter to not hold a grudge is surprising for what little he's heard of King Neptune's connection to Whitebeard.]

For what it's worth, it's not like time passes while you're here, not without you, I mean.

[weakahoshi]

E- even knowing that... Don't you feel a sense of urgency to get home?

[justicereigns]

No.

Straw Hat's here, so what's the point of going back?
