"My name is Alaena. I've already met your character and other crew member here; they were nice enough to help me out in a time of need," Alaena replied to Sammi, reaching over and grabbing a hunk of bread to eat. There was numerous meals in the bag, but Alaena had no real appetite at the time. Instead she asked, "Can you describe the people who did this to you? Were they in suits or leathers? They obviously used guns, but even the Yarrakonas use guns half the time."
Alaena figured that she would stay most of the night before heading out to deal with one of the two families. 'It just all comes down to who to take out first,' she thought to herself as she took a bite of bread. It was refreshing to finally get something in her stomach, her food wares had been exhausted for a few days and she had been living off of water and anything she could get from people who were inclined to help her.

"Alright, thanks Yoje! My ship is about two or three docks down from where yours is." Hal said, thankful that he didn't have to walk on his wounded legs anymore. He paused for a moment when Yoje asked more about his encounter and thought carefully about what to say. "Yeah... Something like that. Dealing with gangs like the Bodero can be dangerous since they run this place. Haggling with them is a bad idea, but I'm not really used to that since I'm not from around here."
"They were suits," Sammi told Alaena. "They said they were with the Yarrakona," she took another bite of the apple, intent to keep multitasking while doing this. "They jumped me about two, maybe three blocks from here. Said it was their turf." She sat back down on the bed, letting her injured arm hang down freely beside here. No pressure meant no pain. "Then they tried to fuck me. I wasn't having any of that though, so I chopped their blocks off. Was a little late on the last one. That how he tagged me like he did."
"Budero. So that's the name of the gang that runs this island." Yoje grabbed and Hal and jumped onto the nearest rooftop. From there, he continued to jump from rooftop to rooftop back in the direction of the port. "We'll be back soon enough. Just let me know where your ship is."
"Suits? Either you're wrong or the Yarrakona are trying to take the Budero's trademark style," Alaena replied, hoping that this didn't mean that the Yarrakona were trying to make a move. She instead put it under the trauma from the incident having fogged up Sammi's memory of the incident.
"I find it somewhat funny that I've met up with three people from just one pirate crew in only a few short hours," she noted after eating the last bite of her piece of bread. "I suppose I shall stay for awhile longer, but soon enough I'll have to go and finish what was started."

I heard rumors that the two families had been escalating their fight, but to think it's gotten this out of hand..."And what exactly is it you're planning on finishing?" Peter asked.
[hr]
"Pirate hunting? Ok... well, any idea who it is you're going after?" Yezeku didn't notice his hesitation, just thinking he stammered.

"The families of course. What's left is to deal with them and their higher-ups. That would get rid of the bulk of the problem, the next part would be to get the people behind someone who can lead them in the right direction. If there is interference with that from the Marines then they would need to be dealt with too," Alaena replied to Peter calmly, already working on the planning portion of the plan.
"And once everything is done here, I move on to the next city being treated unfairly and do the same," she added, leaning her chair back to get more comfortable.

"Who am I after? um...." Crap! Crap! CRAP! I didn't look at who I was chasing! Okay, calm down, worst come to worst, blame it on someone else! In the meantime... "Erm...I believe you'll have to ask the men on my boat...because...keeping track of that is their job. Yeah, that''s it!"
"You honestly think that would solve everything? You make it all sound so simple, like a couple dead gangsters and a nudge in the right direction would fix everything..." Peter sighed. "Then again, there is only so much diplomacy will get done. But violence isn't exactly the fastest way to peace, either."
[hr]
"You're sure about that? You don't even know what any of them LOOK like? Then again, I shouldn't really care. Once I step through that door, this is no longer my problem. ISN'T THAT RIGHT, BOYS?" He yelled out, a couple men hooting out in celebration.
"I know leaving with half the people here is a bit much, but I need a crew to man the ship heading back to Porte Carlo, and between half of my men and your own, you should have more than enough people here. Still, maybe you should start thinking where to look."

"Ah yes, because a pirate would certainly know how to help people more than someone who has made it their life's goal to do just that. I've been doing this for almost twelve years now, I think I know what this city needs more than you do. You can keep the food, I won't be needing it," Alaena replied, clearly annoyed as she stood up from her seat and went over to her things. She put on her vest and belt, followed by her weapons and cloak before grabbing her bow and satchel and heading to the door.
She turned around once and bid a farewell and thanks before leaving, Fletch following after her.

"Well, there are two of them actually. The Bodero and the Yarrakona. I don't know much about em though, except that no one around here really wants to mess with em." Hal explained as Yoje carried him to the docks. Huh. This devil fruit stuff seems pretty cool. Maybe I should look into getting one. They're pretty spendy though...
"Oh, there's my ship! You can just set me down there and I'll take care of the rest." He said, pointing to his wrecked boat as they neared the docks. Hal quickly dug through what remained of his belongings and found his bandages. His wounds weren't bad at all, so it was pretty easy to just stop the bleeding.
A few minutes later and he was ready to go. Although it still hurt to walk, at least he wouldn't bleed out. He walked back to Yoje and flashed a grin at him. "Hey man, I owe you one. You need anything? I'm pretty good at getting quality stuff for cheap. Whatever you need, just say the word and I'll see what I can do."

Peter sighed as she left. "Gonna get herself killed... " He turned back to Grana and Sammi. "So you two seem to have been keeping yourselves busy. Have you seen any of the others?" He got back on the bed, lying down on it.[hr]
Inshi had been reading a paper in his office as another man walked in. "Oyabun... we have found a bunch of our men in the alleyway..." He growled. "The archer again?" "No... they were killed much more violently this time... it's someone different."
Inshi put his paper down and stood up, walking to the door. "And the Marines are doing nothing about this?" The lieutenant gulped and said "They're in the middle of some business. Apparently they are transferring personnel." Inshi's growl got louder "And the other men in the sector?" "They... they supposedly found someone they are angry with... something about a con man. Said they plan on taking care of him."
One could almost see his face getting red with anger, heading to an elevator. "Any... OTHER news?" "Uh... some man from the casino is here... says some pirate mentioned having something you might be interested in..." "Well then tell him to give that message to Tozani! I have no more time to deal with petty pirates trying to get my interest! I'd rather he hold it than hold anything offered by a pathetic pirate!" He slammed the man into the side of the elevator, stomping out and walking towards the entrance. 'Uh... sir? Where are you going?" "I'm going to go speak to that sloth Yezeku! Pirates and petty criminals are HIS responsibility!"[hr]
A band of Yarrakona men walked into the club that Jacque was in. "Hey hey hey! We got a couple special deliveries for you fine people!" One came up and handed the bartender a crate of some expensive-looking liquor. "For SUCH a loyal customer!" They went near the door and posted up a bunch of Wanted posters "For all you fine hunters here, some new heads for you to bring those pigs at the center of town! Up-to-date, top of the line info!" They finally went to their tables and started bossing around the people in the club, and started getting loud and obnoxious.[hr]
Yezeku and his men had finished preparing, and look back at Guligan. "Ok... you can get things ready for me, right? Just call the boys at Porte Carlo and tell them I'm getting ready for a transfer. Good luck dealing with those pirates, man..."
He walked out with a small band of people. "Sweet freedom, boys!"
[hr]
Another band of Yarrakona thugs, two with a couple bats and one with a long, slender cane walked around the docks, looking all around the ships there. "Oy, man, we've been searching around this dock for HOURS..." "Shut up... I know he's around here..."

There was silence as Alaena closed her eyes to the city around her, the noise of the city soon disappearing as she concentrated on the choice she had. It was either go to the casino and deal with the Buderos, or head on over to the resort and deal with all the Yarrakonas. The choice was easily decided once Alaena realized that the casino would certainly have more civilians in it at night, while the main areas of the resort would be closed.
'That's settled then,' she thought to herself, opening her eyes to the setting sun. She got up and looked south, jumping off of the tower in the center of town and traveling to the next rooftop using Geppo. As the sun set down in the west she continued down south before turning east, and soon enough she could see the entrance of the Ivory Resort. She immediately noticed Oyabun Inshi heading out from the front, moving back into the shadows so as not to be seen. She carefully nocked an arrow and watched him from above, eying him to watch where he was going to go.

Yoje grinned at Hal's offer. "I can't think of anything I need right now, but if I do, I'll be sure to let you know. Right now, I just need to figure out where to spend the night. I heard there was a nice resort down that way...Hey." In the direction he had pointed, there were three armed thugs approaching.
"Hal, I think there are some more gang members here. They don't look that strong, though. I should be able to take them if they attack. It might be better for you to hide."

Sammi finished what was left of the apple she was given and tossed the core out the window. "I haven't seen anyone else from the ship," she informed the Captain. "Who was that woman anyway? She owe you a favor or something? She didn't seem too happy to be going to work on me there..."
The wonderful song was interrupted when the men enter the bar which had irritated Jacque alot. While he did clutch his fist in anger but he had a feeling they were men were powerful due to everyone stop what they were doing in their present including the beautiful singer.
Too bad I can't teach those scum some lessons in manners.
When he heard about the new wanted poster he quickly turn his back to them as he carry out his fail safe plan in case they had his bounty poster.
He took off his pirate hat, bandana and most important of them all his domino mask. He quickly places them inside his jacket as the men went to a table. Lucky for him he's sitting at the bar stool at the furthest away from the entrance so it's unlikely the men had saw him. He's even luckier that that his wanted poster had his photo his trademark hat and mask and not his real face at all.
For anyone who see his face now they will see a disfigure man. His blond hair is messy and it there is a patch of hairless scalp on his right side. The top part of his face and head where his mask and hat had covered are in a smooth reddish colour skin, most likely recovering burn marks. His eyebrows were uneven which again most likely to be burned off as there is a big scar on his forehead. His face had been like this ever since he had taken part in Marineford during Whitebeard war.
When Jacque look back up he saw that the bartender was staring at him which he quick divert his sight most likely he was accidently being rude. Jacque felt no anger toward him since he isn't the first to stare at his face. He simple reaches into his pocket and got out another bag of coins and place it on near the bartender.
He whispers "Here a tap for being a fine bartender and I would like to keep it quiet. After all, this fine establishment become oh so very noisy well even more than it is now twoo."
He shifted his eyes at the men who are making alot of fuss. The bartender nodded which he hoped he will take quiet for a while as he got up and make his way toward the wanted poster wall.
When he got there he is quite shock that his face and as well Peter and the other faces were on the wall. He felt his spine shiver.
I better get out of here and warn the other fast!

Hal chuckled nervously at Yoje's mention of the resort. "Oh, you mean the Ivory Oyster? Well, under different circumstances I could probably get you a good deal on a room there but... Well, that's Yarrakona HQ and those are the guys that trashed my boat." Hal said, as he looked over to where Yoje was pointing.
Dammit, are they still here! Well, at least I got help this time... Hal thought as he took Yoje's advice and crouched down behind a crate. "Yeah, I'll stay here. I'm not much of a fighter. Don't take em on if you don't have to though. I've been hiding from these guys all day, another couple hours won't hurt. Trust me, you don't want to get dragged into this."

Yoje nodded to Hal and turned out to watch the sea. Out of the corner of his eye, he could still see the thugs approaching. If they're members of one of those gangs, those thugs must be bad news. I'd really like to take them out, but it wouldn't be smart to make an enemy out of a group that runs the island. I don't want to cause any trouble for the crew. Guess I'll hope those guys just keep walking.
Grana shook his head as Alaena walked out the door. "Idiot... She's still injured, no matter how good she is at medicine." He then answered Peter's question. "I saw Yoje on the way here, but I couldn't get the chance to speak to him. He looked like he was just going to get a room for the night." Grana walked over to his swords and picked them up, buckling them back onto his waist. "You know Peter, you're both right. You're right in that she's gonna die alone out there. But she's right in that violence is the only possibility for reform anymore. Diplomacy had its day here and wasted it. This isn't my first trip to this island. I told you I was a thief before joining your crew, didn't I? Two years ago I arrived here to evade the Marines, sell some stock, and get food for the journey. It's worse now then it was two years ago, and I'm guessing this trend is only gonna decline. But two years ago, I stole something rather precious from Oyabun Yarrakona that he would kill to get back. Unfortunately, as I was just starting out in my career, I wasn't very good and so he got a rather good look at my handsome face. I reckon I can turn that to my advantage. If I use this..." Grana dove into his hat, pulling out a silver and gold diadem embedded with more jewels than sand on the beach, "I can get Oyabun to follow me into Budero territory, and get him and Tozani to end each other." Grana dropped the Dragon Diadem back into his hat with a determined look in his eyes. "I would be lying if I said I didn't have thoughts of vengeance on the mind, but quite a bit of this is because those two piss me off. I have 30 or so hours left, correct? I'll be back in time."
