Wealth, Adventure, and the Open Sea: A One Piece RP.(Arc 4: Porte Carlo.)

[Mr. Omega]

Heading into the shadier parts of town, the shops were far less frequent. Peter was looking for something with spare parts or things for a ship. He noticed a few people looking a local bulletin board near what looked like a small square.

He walked over and noticed a large array of wanted posters. "Ooooh, this should be interesting... Hmmm... Nisa "The Cat" Shinu, "Fabulous" Murphy O'Phlanaghan, "Weapon Master" Hephaestus Susano, Richard "The Bull" Lichten, Tony "Razor" Barachu, Griff "Shankers" Valentine, "Axeman" Igritte Niagra... interesting choices... "The Butcher" seems to be missing a picture... not practical for a bounty........ Hey, I'm not on here!"

He shrugged his shoulders and walked off. "Maybe that's for the best, considering I don't have a crew, a proper ship, or even that many supplies... and it gives me some freedom from the Marines..."
[hr]

On the Marine ship sailing around, a deckhand ran up to the Captain in his quarters. "Sir! The governor just called the ship! Apparently his daughter has gone missing. She had just gotten out from her wedding a couple hours ago. He thought she was off with her friends, until they came to him wondering where she was."

The Captain sighed before responding. "Get a small ship ready to deploy a search party. I'll be accompanying you. Tracking people is one of my specialties, after all..."

The pat on the back wasn't exactly on Sammi's radar and as such she was jerked forward a fair bit. She tried to maintain her composure, but that effort was given up when the giant keg hit the table, pretty much sending everything on top of it flying. What have I done? Ugh, this guy is probably going to smash whatever boat we get. She then remembered the large amount of money that he had been given by the other man with her. Well at least he should be able to repair everything he breaks. I still wanted that food though.

"Uh, yeah, OK," she got out. "My name is Sammi Makela, I'm de facto second in command to Captain Peter Tew, and now I need to get that waiter to bring out some more food..."

Jacque had started to ease drop the current conversations going on around him. He is more interested with that weirdo and that girl discussion. He is leading back on his chair as he pours another round of wine into his glass cup and sips it. He had seen to be acting so casual about it.

Setting up a crew eh? Mmmm maybe just maybe I could offer my service to them. Well her proposal sound ideal should this place get raided by the marines any time soon, after all the old saying goes safety in number. I however can't take this too lightly. I can't simply brush them off if I grow bored with the crew after all being a pirate mean nakama. After all Whitebeard pirates had risk and even sacrifice their lives in an attempt to saved Ace even when it was a failure... I have to see if this crew is worth giving my service to.

He took another sip at his wine as he continues to listen in while pondering about the situation.

Spoiler: OOC

I'm off to bed now.

 

[My name is Fiction]

*shakes hand sternly*
"My name is Sparkles, nice to met you."
"I am sure we won't have to split the treasure too much, you got a good group going."

 

[Xero Scythe]

Grana's eyes opened wide as the beer keg came crashing down on the food. His hands darted out, snatching the bluefin tuna and the bottle of wine. He tipped back in the chair as the keg came to a thunderous stop, then finally fell forward when it was safe to do so. "Hey, Jacques, careful where you place that thing! It's heavy, you know!" Grana said with a laugh as he placed the bluefin and the wine bottle back on the table. Grana then saw the wanted board in the restaurant and excused himself before getting up to look at the board. "There you are, you ************." Grana muttered to himself as he saw the wanted poster. He tore off a very special poster:"Axeman" Igritte Niagra, 30 million beli- the man who broke Grana's blade. Grana rolled up the poster and dropped it into his hat before returning to the table. "So sorry about that- I had to go get something. Anyway, Sammi, when will the captain get here? And on a different note, why did you join up?"

 

[NeoAC]

Sammi took one of the other bruschettas left on the platter. Might as well eat these while they are still in one piece. Food secured, attention was turned to Grana's questions. "The Captain went off to get some other provisions that we'll be needing for the trip. He should be here shortly," she answered. "If you're wanting to know why I'm here, let's just say I love the sea life a bit too much to let the Marines try and take it from me, and Captain Tew is the best career opportunity at the moment. Maybe if we make it out to the ocean I'll say more." She took a big bite out of the toast, enough to take down half of the piece, and started chewing, savoring the flavors that had been spared being scrapped off the keg bottom.

 

[GoWithDAFro]

"If it's just the three of us, then the split won't bother me too much. And like I said before, Beli isn't my whole purpose here. I'm going for the adventure of it."

He stood up and started heading towards the exit. "Well, we might as well head out now, in the middle of the day. I'm not sure how long this will take." After a moment, he looked back to his two traveling companions and spoke again. "So, what kind of name is Sparkles anyway?"

 

[My name is Fiction]

He chuckled, glad that was going to be pushed out of the way right now instead of later.
"I decided the first thing I would read would be my name and it happened to be Sparkling water So I stuck with it."
"Oh and water is not my middle name."
*opens door first*

 

[GoWithDAFro]

"So you named yourself? Interesting." Yoje walked out the door right behind Sparkles.
These two are odd, but they seem alright. I should enjoy this adventure. Maybe they'll be Rokushiki students of mine later on.

"I have a map. We're headed this way." He jogged down a street to the left. The peaks of the mountains could be seen on the horizon.

 

[Tim_Buoy]

?sssssince it?s not a picture of my human form I can normally passsss mysssself off asss a bounty hunter.? Said Sylvester as he stood up placing his items back in their proper place.? thissss isss going to be fun? Sylvester cracked his knuckles as he jogged to catch up to yoje and sparkles.

 

[GoWithDAFro]

Before long, the trio made it into the shadier region of Jingo. The glares of passerby told Yoje it wasnt safe to trust anybody here, but he wasn't afraid of getting into a fight with anyone. He slowed himself to a walk.
"The path gets more twisted from here. So, what brought you two to this island anyway?"

 

[Tim_Buoy]

?I heard it was a gathering place for a lot of piratesss. I wanted to join a crew and go after onepiece I figured it would be a good place to sssstart.? Sylvester kept his eye on every detail around him as random people passed by them. His hand rested on the handle of his trusty whip.

 

[My name is Fiction]

He watched his step here and there, the branches of trees were an annoyance he just patted away.
"Me?"
"I was drifting mostly here and there on a whim."
"After stowing away on some ship with some nice rats for company I decided I would look for work once the boat docked."
"I ran into you while searching for rumors."
"These people don't look very nice but then again they are probably pirates too!"

 

[Mr. Omega]

Peter walked in to what looked like a junkyard right near the mountain range, right at the outskirts of town. "Got some interesting looking things here..." he said, looking around. He noticed a shack in the middle of it. He walked up to it and knocked on the door. After a few seconds, a shaggy looking old man walked out. "Yeeeah, whadaya want?" he grumbled.

"I'm looking for any interesting spare parts around here. Something you can't normally find in shops. Something rare or unusual." He said, holding up a small wad of bills. The old man looked suspiciously at him. "Don't know what you think you'd find here, but go ahead to the back. I'll charge ya once yer done... don't get yer hopes up." he said, stumbling back into the shack.

Peter smiled and started walking around. You never know what some people might be stupid enough to throw out without knowing what it is... I've found my share good hauls in places like this. And even the owner is usually happy to be rid of it, so this rarely ever costs me that much. I rarely ever need a full machine, just a few parts to use for one of my little pet projects...
[hr]
A modest sized lifeboat came up to shore, carrying 7 Marines including the captain. His red eyes glanced around at the pirates growling at them. "Hmph. I see we're not welcome here. At least they have some self-control. Come on, men. The governor is waiting for us." He said, getting off the boat.

 

[GoWithDAFro]

"You're probably right, Sparkles." Yoje looked to his right. An large man was angrily waving a sword around, shouting at a shopkeeper. Evidently, he'd been swindled.

I hope he gets a refund. "But not all pirates are bad people, or crooks. What about the Straw Hats? If I ever join a crew, those are the kinds of guys I'd want to be with."

 

[Xero Scythe]

Grana shrugged as he relaxed and turned around to look around. Suddenly, Grana tensed up once more as he saw Marines, one a captain by the looks of it, pass by the restaurant. Grana's left hand drifted to his sword as the Marines began to check houses at random. "Say, Sammi- how high a bounty does Captain Tew have? Because we have Marines passing through the town, and they're looking for somebody." "Great, looks like someone finally stepped out of line far enough to call the law down. But the captain can't be weak- not when he walks that calmly through that sea of sharks. Oh well- and here I was afraid I was going to get bored in this town!" So thought Grana as he wondered what had exactly happened that the town had called the law down on an obvious source of income.

 

[NeoAC]

Sammi saw the Marines go by at the same time, slinking down behind the two larger men in the hopes of not being seen. Once she was sure they had passed by, she arose. "Um, bounty? Uh...I'm not sure. To be honest, I only just joined up with Captain Tew a couple days ago. I don't know if he's got any bounty on his head." I know there's one one mine though. Why do the Marines have to be here right now? Can't they leave things alone for one day? One measly day?

 

[Xero Scythe]

Grana yawned and let his hand slip off the grip of his blade as the marines passed by. He finished his glass of wine and sighed. "Well then Sammi, does the Captain know we're here, or should we go and find him? Sammi?" Grana raised an eyebrow as he watched Sammi try and hid from the view of the Marines. Grana chuckled to himself before speaking. "What, don't tell me you're afraid of the Marines, after such big words against them? Besides, hiding behind the two of us isn't the best idea. The human mountain here," Grana said, rapping his knuckles against Jacques' elbow, "Might be a good shield, but as small as it is, I still have a bounty on my head. If I'm casting my lot in with you, the least you can do is stand tall!" Grana stood up and cracked his knuckles. "So, ready to go find the Captain? I doubt we're gonna find anyone else in here who wants to set sail with us."

 

[My name is Fiction]

He wiped some sweet off his brow, the shade and his clothing not helping very much.
"The Straw Hats do has standards, that's why I would probably never work with them."
"Working for such a high profile group just isn't my thing."
"I just don't like the lime light to much, comes with Marines."
He looked around turning his head left and right, the terrain wasn't difficult but it was foreign.
"Do you know where we're going?"

 

[Scarim Coral]

Jacque ducks his head down when he saw the incoming marines from the distance. He wasn't in the mood if he had to fight them since he still got a full stomach. As soon the marines left the area he tilt his head right back up as he continue to ease drop.

Oh great from the sound of it, those lots over there are a bunch of newbie. However not all pirates start with a high profiles but as a newbie as well. Ugh seeing those marines just then I can't really afford to be picky on joining a crew. I need more info on this Captain if I going to join them.
