Damages.

[justicereigns]

Well that was unpleasant. If anyone's hurt, a reminder to see the ship's doctor immediately. Damn. Only 7 of their ships but they still managed to hurt the Lady Justice. I'm using the den den mushis to secure a place to get repairs done but it looks like we'll need to stop by Water 7 as soon as possible. We're sailing at 1/3rd of the speed.

Allen, flu or not, see what you can do about helping to deal with the harpoons in the side of the ship. You'd almost think we were dealing with Hina's ship.

To whomever dropped off the "prisoner" I received with no easy means of identification, thanks. Because I clearly have nothing to do with my time except chase down this idiot's family. And people wonder why I hate pirate scum.

I've got a headache. I'll be in my office with rum and some meds. Don't knock. Karen I could use your help on paperwork.

Oh and who the hell invited a damn cat on this ship? This pet thing is going a little far people. Adopt a seagull. At least they aren't useless. On that note I have some bamboo for you Lass.

Havoc... hn. Not a bad job. Damages would probably be worse without you but see what you can do about that backlash. Damn.

And if he comes after us again I'll beat him up, once I figure out how to deal with logia, but outside of that I don't see what the problem is. It's not like Luffy holds a grudge.

...you just have a crush on his assistant or something, don't you?

[strayswordsman.livejournal.com]

I don't know what you're talking about, she freaks me out!

[warriorothesea.livejournal.com]

Suuure, Zoro. Whatever you say!

[strayswordsman.livejournal.com]

Usopp...

[warriorothesea.livejournal.com]

Zoro?

[strayswordsman.livejournal.com]

Whatever.

I just wanted to poke the Commodore some. I still plan to have words about how he was promoted after Alabasta.

[warriorothesea.livejournal.com]

Yeah? What kinda words?

[strayswordsman.livejournal.com]

Possibly angry, manly words about honor. Don't worry about it.

[justicereigns]

About my honor? THIS coming from a pirate? What do you want Roronoa?

[strayswordsman.livejournal.com]

Eh, let me be blunt. You got promoted sometime after Luffy defeated Crocodile, and the newspapers were singing your praises for bringing down a rogue Shichibukai. The situation reeks, Commodore.

[justicereigns]

And you think I wanted that?! I let you free in Alabasta to go help the princess however you chose while I went to get proof so that the government couldn't fucking keep pretending Crocodile was their loyal little lapdog. I told them to take their promotion and shove it. And they learned NOTHING from it. Kept right on insisting the others were in control. "Helping." Bullshit. Blackbeard, Boa Hancock, NONE of them are loyal to the government or following orders. It's all just fucking politics.

I've earned plenty of promotions and you must have fought higher ranked officers by now. You think they're as strong as me? I prefer captain so I don't have to deal with as much of their idiotic orders. The ONLY reason I lost your trail for a while was because they forced me to get promoted no matter how MUCH I refused. But I did refuse it, no matter what you think.

Don't talk about things you don't know boy.

Tch. Is that how it was. Gotta admit it seemed weird that someone like you, with a big jitte labeled "Justice" stuck up his ass, would be following along with that setup.

...So you don't like the Shichibukai, huh. Just a little. Heh.

Don't know why you bother with that crowd at all, then; if all that's true then by the rules you're practically rogue, anyway.

[justicereigns]

Shichibukai are pirate scum without the decency to even own up to admitting that's what they are. They parade around as heroes reaping whatever they can, pretending to play lackey to the government all the while doing whatever they can for themselves, same as almost any other pirate would.

I'm not a pirate. I don't kidnap and torture enemies and leave them toothless and lacking fingerprints on people's doorsteps so that they're nearly impossible to identify. I serve justice. Nothing more, nothing less.

[strayswordsman.livejournal.com]

Hn. That's Crocodile to a T. From what I can tell most of the others are pretty brass-balls upfront that they don't give a crap for orders. Not that that makes it any better, I guess, heh.

That shit's hardly exclusive to pirates or the government, Hunter, and you definitely know that. You follow justice if you want, what do I care. I don't see where that leads you to chasing Luffy, though.

[justicereigns]

Tsk... Those guys...

Straw-Hat's going to shake the world up. If he's going to make a misstep that gets innocent lives killed I'll be there to stop him. If he wants to be King he better not stop running for a second or I'll be there to catch him.

[strayswordsman.livejournal.com]

Heh, the shockwaves are gonna be big, that's true. Do what you like, then, but we're gonna keep our eyes forward, not back.

[justicereigns]

Wouldn't expect anything less.
