[This is a man who sounds pretty angry. Of course if you know Smoker well, then you might know he often sounds like that. Still, even for Smoker, clearly something's set him off.]

Welcome to New Feathers, if you haven't heard about the Shifts or Drafts yet, I suggest you look into it. If you want to learn basic self defense I could teach you, or Chun-Li could, or any of other teachers who offer it. Normally I'd offer to teach jitte as well, but I'm using flimsy knock-offs right now because some idiot seems to have borrowed it without permission.

[And here he gives a lethal glare to the camera.] I know a pirate took it before, and I've spent all this month hunting you down. I don't know who took it, but step forward now and I'll be far more lenient than if you continue to make me wait!

[His tone suggests that "lenient" means he'll only beat the thief half to death instead of two-thirds.]

I'll be by the barracks stacking rocks. [And making a snowman. Not that he's going to admit to that to anyone. Except kids maybe.]

My winning personality and charm.

[All the freaking sarcasm.]

[voice]

[toujoursfluer]

Horrible threats, indeed.

[Being inflicted with Smoker is threat enough]

However, maybe it will return to you once it's been...well used.

Somewhat.

It's about six feet long, steel, and it's wrapped with white on the hilt. You ever seen a jitte before?

[Holds up the replacement practice one. It's smaller and flimsier, but it'll do.] Like this. Only mine's made of seastone.

[justicereigns]

No, it's fine, just give it your best.

[voice]

[justicereigns]

That was almost exactly Straw Hat's reaction. I knew he was going to go for the most dangerous island he could.

I didn't expect him to go to Punk Hazard instead, but it's fine. I'll catch him there instead.

[.... Someday... somewhere... in the far far future. You'll see. You'll all see!]

[brandnewday]

You mean it? You're gonna be rooting for me? I'll do my best for you, Vice Captain Smoker!

[From the sound of her voice, it's pretty clear she's excited to have someone listening to her. She hasn't had many promises like that so far.]

[justicereigns]

No, it's not. Justice doesn't change with the tides, it protects the weak, not conquers them.

[justicereigns]

Grell Sutcliff. For quite a while now actually. It's a long story.

[voice]

[justicereigns]

My jitte?!

What is wrong with you monsters?

[Video]

[feetoffury]

Anyone else know the significance?

[voice]

[redjacketthief]

[He would pick out the most dangerous island without reason....

that went for the both of them. At least, Lupin thought it did.]

Oh? What's at Punk Hazard?

So we are nothing but slaves to do our captors' will? They will have some trouble bending me to it. [Aragorn's voice is almost a growl]

[He's never seen one before but, upon seeing the smaller one he takes note of what it looks like.]

I'll keep my eye out for it. I'll let you know as soon as I find it if I do.

you know you love me.

[etudes]

[ Good thing Kotomi is oblivious, huh.

... Except not entirely. ]

Smoker-kun, do you have a fever..?

[spohkh]

[Spock tilted his head in obvious confusion...

Grell? Smoker was with Grell?...]

I see... I have had the opportunity to meet Miss Sutcliff... she is a fascinating individual. [And Smoker has a problem with Robin?....well then.]

[gorehowl]

The weak have no rights but to grow stronger or die. Azeroth is not so forgiving, and nor, from what I hear, is this world.

[justicereigns]

You seem.... surprised?

[Sure. Surprised is one word for it. More like unnerved though.]

[justicereigns]

[His eyes harden.] No world is going to be forgiving when the people in them don't strive to create that justice themselves.

People are strong because we don't have to assume that every setback is the end of a career or a life. No one's born the strongest and the weak can't get stronger if they're killed from the very start.

[voice]

[justicereigns]

Nothing.

Tch. At least there shouldn't be anything anymore. It was the site of an accident that destroyed the whole island. Akainu and Aokiji used it for their duel to see who would be the next Fleet Admiral.

[voice]

[redjacketthief]

[Once more Smoker dropped infinite amounts of information that he simply couldn't place, but he understood the idea of dueling for a position. However, destroying an entire island...?]

Whoa.

Let me guess, more Devil Fruits?

[justicereigns]

Just... don't go too loud all right?

[Seriously, sensitive ears, but yeah, he'll be rooting. Cautiously. He learned his lesson from Kotomi-chan's violin recital.]

Oh so much

[justicereigns]

No, why?

[justicereigns]

Thanks Henry.

How are you settling in here? Everything okay?

[gorehowl]

Create justice? [Slowly, lightly, and he leans forward and down now. More intent on this situation now]

The weak must earn their strength for themselves.

[brandnewday]

R-right. Is something wrong with your ears?
