Attn: Shepherds of Justice & Straw Hat Crews // Voice

[justicereigns]

Right, so, I've been kidnapped by Straw Hat to his ship for the duration of the race, or until I get my key to my cuffs back. Whichever comes first. [You may all now laugh at him.]

Just so you know.

And I'll probably keep training Keimi even after I return.

And since it seems Davy Jones brought a bunch more new people in... hello. My name is Smoker, yeah that's my real damn name. I'm not an expert at sailing or fighting, but I've gotten damn good at learning how to handle sailing these seas, without resorting to piracy, if by some god damn miracle, some of you are actually principled enough, so yeah. Feel free to ask or whatever.

I guess that's it.

[He's a talkative guy this one.]

[ . . . Smoker, your obsession with Straw Hat is not something Kuzan gets, nor does he wish to wrap his head around it. Your business is your own, especially in these waters.

But, really...?]

Enjoy yourself.

[and don't think that he doesn't know you will]

[voice]

[justicereigns]

[OH FUCK YOU MAN!]

AND JUST WHAT PART OF THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE ENJOYABLE?!

[You don't get to talk to him about Straw Hat obsession until you kick the Nico Robin obsession okay okay.]

[voice]

[lazyjustice]

[looking after a young girl and a young woman, perhaps unjustly hated by the world for what is in her head, to see how she turns out and give her a little hand now and then is not the same as following a boy away from post and everything else just because you're curious about him.

You have an addiction, Smoker. It's time you faced it]

You tell me.

[though please don't let it be something he doesn't want to know]

[voice]

[justicereigns]

[Ehhhhhh his name is SMOKER for fuck's sake. What isn't he addicted to?]

No part of this enjoyable!! [Growl growl!]

[Pause.] Except being with Keimi again.

[voice]

[lazyjustice]

The mermaid... [lucky dog] I'm a little surprised, to be honest.

[youshouldberunning]

Kidnapped.

Really.

[Or you could just say that for the race you'd rather go play with the other crew over there and--key to handcuffs?]

[Oh, she held back a snorted laugh, but just barely.]

Nice timing on that.

[justicereigns]

How's that?

[youshouldberunning]

Sarcasm, Smoker.

For the duration of the rice, huh?

[justicereigns]

[A grunt in reply.]

His decision. I guess this means I could almost hypothetically sabotage him, too bad we don't give a damn about that.

[youshouldberunning]

I have a hard time seeing you attempt honest sabotage with the rubber kid.

So how'd he do it? I must have picked up this apparent misconception of you being really hard to pin down or capture.

[Rice. Race. Shh same thing, really. :| ]

Voice

[cry_brady]

... You, uh, sound pretty calm for being kidnapped.

[Not to be rude, just... y'know. Commenting.]

Voice

[justicereigns]

Well, it is the Straw Hats.

[Brady you were on the crew very briefly with your Mum & Smoker. You should know why he isn't scared of them.]

If I wanted to I could beat them all in the head with the jitte in imitation of your mother and her parasol.

Voice

[cry_brady]

[He's clearly struggling not to laugh.]

Then, why don't you?

Voice

[justicereigns]

Because that won't get the key to my cuffs back, and I'd still be stuck on the ship until I get a way off.

Voice

[cry_brady]

Oh, right.

... Is there anything we can do? It feels kinda crummy just leavin' you there...

voice;

[wantsarobotgarden]

Oh, I hope you have fun.

[He says that quite seriously and quite chipper too.]

voice;

[justicereigns]

I will not be having fun. It's a hostage situation.

[Oh Finnian, you cutie. Never change.]

voice;

[wantsarobotgarden]

So you won't have fun then?

[That's no fun at all.]

But how is it a hostage situation? Or why is it?

voice;

[justicereigns]

Because I've been kidnapped and the key to my handcuffs is being held hostage.

voice;

[wantsarobotgarden]

How did you get kidnapped in the first place?

[He's trying to understand.]

[seakingbait]

I, um... really appreciate your help, Smoker-chin.

[justicereigns]

No problem, Princess.

You don't mind that I mentioned it, do you? It's mostly for Maribelle's sake. She worries.

[seakingbait]

["Princess". Keimi always smiles at that name. It's a little embarrassing, having a pet name, but it's also nice to see such kind words from such a gruff-looking person.]

I worry about her too. Is she doing okay?

[justicereigns]

Yeah, of course.

She's got her son with her, you know. And he wouldn't let anything happen to her. Plus, she's a pretty tough lady.

[seakingbait]

One of the toughest I know. I can see why people would want to follow her as Captain.
