justicereigns | Water 7, Finding Fiyero

Hn?

Yeah. I did, when I first started. I tried every way I could think of to save them. But I couldn't. And I can't.

Usopp has a private room so if I want to be away from them I can always go there. And the ship is big enough that there's usually somewhere to be alone.

Yeah. It's petty stuff but I can't really say I disapprove one way or another and it doesn't matter whether I do or not since you'll do it either way so just... hn.

... That could drive a person to insanity rather quickly. How do you manage to hold up?

I see. That's kind of nice I guess. You don't have your own private room?
Although even with my own quarters, they're too dman loud. The room is 3/4ths sound-proofed with cork and they still manage to be obnoxious. But part of that might be that Tim ate holes in the door.

I don't get paid to take people's souls. It's just what we do.

I drink a lot. And Lucci comes with me on my reaps so I don't have to be alone.

No, there's a room for the boys and a room for the girls, so I share with Robin and Nami. Usopp recently put a bed in his factory, though, so we usually sleep there.

...who's Tim?

Right. And it's hardly like you were given a choice either.

... Hn. I'd say at least he's good for something but I'm fairly certain he does it just to be around death. ~~Sick fuck.~~

I see.

Allen's... thing. Golem. It looks like a golden ball with wings. But it eats. And I think it grows because he measures it every so often. And the stupid thing hacked my laptop to post a video once and got eaten by a cat another time. I have no idea what to do with it. This is why we need less pets.

None at all.

It's mutually beneficial. It calms his desire to kill people and then I don't have to be alone.

Yep.

...I see. We have two cats, three pigeons, and a bunch of big beetles.

Lousy system. And no way to fix it I guess.

.... So that's how he cut down on the murder addiction??

And that doesn't drive you crazy?

Well I have absolutely no say so I guess not.

Yeah.

Well. One of the cats is mine, and one of the pigeons is Hattori and I love Hattori. The bugs are all in a cage or whatever so they don't bother me, and the ship is big enough that I rarely see the other pigeons. And I like Sanji's cat too.

Tch... that kind of thing... I can't even stand being told where and when to sail. My life I'll do what I want and all that but you... Hm...

Thank you then... I think... I thought he only did it because Straw-Hat told him to and I didn't see how that could possibly work but if he has another reinforcement. Don't get me wrong, I still think he's an evil fucker and I'll see him to hell but... killing less... Even out of the rule of the government I think it's better this way.

I see. I'm not fond of cats. We had one but I gave it to Subaru so it's only here when he visits. Lady has a pandadog that refuses to leave my room lately, Rinali had a blobfish (god that thing is disturbing) but she took that with her, and Allen got a rainbow chicken that ate Tim and then the cat ate the chicken. At least Lavi's proved himself to be the sensible one by not adopting mice or something insane.

Don't you also have a reindeer?

Yeah. I don't really get to choose what I do.

I don't think he's evil. I think he's changed a lot since he joined our crew.

What weird pets.

Chopper is a part of the crew, not a pet.

Hn. And here?

We'll see. He's spent his whole life conning people into making them think he's their "friend". Straw-Hat has a knack for unlikely allies, there's no denying that but that a big a change? We'll see...

And that is why I don't want anyone picking up a yagara bull while we're here.

Hattori is a pet but Chopper isn't?

I have considerably more freedom.

He is my friend.

What's a yagara bull?

Chopper can talk and interact with us like any other person. And he's a doctor. Hattori is great, but he's still just a pigeon.

Seems to be what attracts most people to piracy.

Do you know anything of his history?

Like a very large ridable seahorse. They use them to get around this city.

... I see... Hm. I'll have to inform Aokiji. Although he owes me for not passing on the message so maybe I'll just with-hold it.

Yo ho.

Yes.

Oh. Yeah, I think Usopp has mentioned them. That's pretty cool.

What?

Including the 500 hostage soldiers he killed for being weak so that the pirates who took them hostage couldn't use them anymore?

They are quite useful, doesn't mean we can take one with us.

I gave a message for Aokiji to give Straw-Hat if he saw him again. After Alabasta the brass got on my case for taking off from Loguetown against orders so they didn't let me keep tailing Straw-Hat so I told Admiral Aokiji if he saw you guys at some point... well never mind. Point is, according to Roronoa he didn't do it. So maybe I just won't keep him informed this time around.

...yeah.

Fair enough.

...so what was the message?

And that doesn't bother you?

It doesn't really matter now I suppose, I could just tell him myself. I'm more just annoyed that Aokiji didn't give the message at all.

...it does. But. He's changed a lot since then.

Then why did you bring it up?

Or says he's changed. You already admitted you know he spent most of his life, his entire career lying and misleading people and following absolute justice. Justice that isn't tempered by mercy isn't justice, it's just cruelty and that's what he is. What he chose to be. How long before he snaps and starts killing again just because he can't handle the idea that true justice means temperance?

Because the marines think Chopper is just a pet. Normally I'd have to inform Aokiji and let him know but he neglected to follow through on his half...

I spend all day every day we're at an island watching people die. He helps me. I know what he is and I know what he's done but he offers me comfort where no one else can. He's done some horrible things, and he might do horrible things in the future, but he's my friend and I care about him. If he relapses then I'll deal with that when it comes. He's worth that to me.

...what does it matter whether he's a pet or a part of the crew? And if you're going to use something I said against my nakama then I'm not talking to you anymore.

Tch. Good luck then Lass. I hope it's still worth it to you if the "worst" does happen. If he helps you, it doesn't matter his motivations, only that it's something worthwhile.

It matters in that Chopper currently has a 50 berri bounty with everyone thinking he's just there to be cute and therefore possibly able to be ransomed to capture the rest of your crew.
I'm not telling anyone. If they had any brains they'd get on this damn network themselves and watch you all. As they evidently don't; their loss.

I'm not going to stand by his side if he does something like...kill one of my nakama. I'm not stupid. But I trust him not to do that.

...right. Fine, whatever.

Hn. Even I figure he has enough restraint to avoid that. For now.

I'm after your captain. Tashigi can deal with the swords brat and the rest don't concern me as much so you hardly gave away crew secrets.

He won't.

Well obviously. If you talked to anyone on the crew once and asked about Chopper they would have told you the same thing.

We'll see.

I've spoken with them, just not about Chopper. Hm... Hattori's offspring, are pigeons, aren't they? Not humans in disguise?

He won't.

They're just pigeons, yeah. And Leo and Ilario are just kittens. And the Hercules beetles are just beetles.
