All Shepherds, meet on deck for tea time and discussions.

Keimi check in as soon as you can.

And yes, we're getting low on coffee, and cigars. I'll survive, [No, he won't.] but I still refuse to switch to tea.

For all you pirates out there, what did you lot do before you came here? Occupations, careers, whatever. I need to know what freedom you're fighting for, let's just say.

[A long silence, then a quiet voice barely more than a whisper.]

That's reassuring, actually.

[justicereigns]

[Drags a palm down his face.]

I don't see how.

Did you miss the first half? [Maybe he just wants to fight though. It's uncomfortable having a pirate appreciate his words, and even worse in that kind of a voice.]

[Vulnerable.]

[Which just makes him want to fix it and protect her, and she's the last person he should want to do that with.]

[thetruehistorian]

No. The whole message was quite clear.

[So much of her life would have been different, if more World Government and Marine officials felt the same. She doesn't know what Luffy did to warrant such attention from the Vice-Admiral nee Captain, but she knows him well enough to believe he had a reason- moronically intuited as it may have been, it was probably one he deemed good.]

[justicereigns]

You hardly have the full message, Demon Woman.

[Because guh.]

[This is still his as tsun as he can possibly word it, and frankly, Smoker rather doubts, and hopes that no one knows the full extent of which he'd bend over backwards to possibly help their damn crew if his justice asked it.]

[As it is, Hina DOES suspect that, and even just the suspicion is enough to make him twitchy because of how much deep in trouble that is.]
