Voice (Much much later on Day 1. Near nightfall)

[allendsmeat]

[there is a brief hesitation...and you might hear the faint 'yohoho' laugh of a certain skeleton in the background. and then a serious voice]

Zoro, Nami, Usopp, Sanji, Chopper, Robin, Franky, and anyone else whose decided to come with us. We're waiting at the inn with the rooster on the outside. Come by as soon as you can. We're going to set sail.

[but then after a moment he opens it up again]

If you touch my nakama I'm going to kick your ass.

[he doesn't know how or even if he can. But he's not going to lose them all. Not again. Not after he just found them again. He'll even send Smoker flying if he has to, to keep them safe]

[Voice] 1/2

[justicereigns]

[Facepalms.]

[THAT ANSWERS NOTHING YOU UNHELPFUL BRAT.]

[And also, he wasn't going to touch them.]

[No wait, yes he will!]

[Voice] 2/2

[justicereigns]

I'll touch whoever I want and you're not strong enough to stop me.

[So take that!]

[Sure he might be injured and needing that dealt with, but whatever. Who cares that he was trying to find out about Doflamingo and Green Bit and Law? Fuck you, Smoker will do what he wants!!!]

[Voice]

[allendsmeat]

[he clenches his hands into his shorts. No he couldn't. He couldn't do anything against Kuma and Smoker is not the kind of guy he can fight. Ace was here-- and he couldn't always rely on Ace to save him... But for now, he would have to...

And that just meant--he'd have to get strong enough somehow to fight Smoker himself. He nods. Or find someone else who can do it. Maybe if Katara douses him with a lot of sea water he'll be easier to fight. All of his nakama know to run from him-- and if they get captured, he'll find out about it somehow.

So-- it would be okay.]

I'll take them back.

[justicereigns]

[Grrr.]

[Straw-Hat's in a mood, and Smoker needs to think.]

[It's not enough clues though.]

[Crocodile is here, and so are the Whitebeards? That's too damn confusing.]

[Fine, forget finding out information, maybe if he gives some, Straw-Hat will let something slip.]

There are too many ex-shichibukai to fight of late.

[Was that enough of a clue? Too much? He can't tell yet.]

[not here]

[allendsmeat]

[sorry. He's not interested. Too long a silence and whatever Smoker had to say next wasn't important right now since Luffy knows what he needs to do. In short, the journal is closed and he can't hear you]

[not here]

[justicereigns]

[Just for that he's staking out the bar. GOOD JOB.]
