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

[Mr. Omega]

Peter handed the last merchant a small set of bills, walking away with a modest-sized bag slung over his shoulder. "Think I got a nice haul here... think I'll make one last stop..."

He started walking towards the center of town, checking as many shops as he could, wondering if he could find something rare or useful before he went up to meet with Sammi.

 

[Scarim Coral]

The waiter had arrived holding a burger on a plate with a bottle of wine as well. The waiter places it on his table.

He said "Here you go sir."

Jacque "It's about time twoo!"

Ah dammit, I thought I had fully control myself from making that owl sound!

The waiter said "Err sorry for the wait, please enjoy your meal."

The waiter head back inside.
He pour the wine into the glass as he took a sip of it which he found the taste to be delightful.

Wow that hit the spot. That girl over there got a good sense of taste. If I recalled correctly this is from south blue.

He uses both of his hands to grab hold of the burger as he open his month wide open. He started to chomp down the burger which also tasted great.

 

[My name is Fiction]

The waiter when to the next booth behind Jacque, the man was looking outside through the window focusing on the clouds drifting in the sun.

"Sir?" he said

He doesn't look away at the window "Water"

"Anything else?" the waiter asked

Looks away and gazes at the back of the man's head behind him.

"What ever that man is eating"

"coming right up."

Walks away yelling out the next order as he looks back through the window.

Sunny, good sign

"You're not the only one who has a few tricks up their sleeve," Sammi told Grana. She looked around the cafe, there didn't appear to be much else in way of prospects to head out onto the Grand Line. People just filing in and out, as quickly as possible. I hope Captain Tew gets here soon, I'm starting to get a weird vibe from this place. I dunno. She heard a bit of a grumble from her stomach. Maybe I'm just hungry.

The waiter made another round, cautiously coming up to the table. "And, uh, a-how is the wine treating you folks? It's good, right?"

Sammi slurped a sip and nodded. "Yes, it's good enough. Now, I think you should bring out a bit of food. Something with fresh seafood in it. And I mean fresh, if you give me anything from a can, you know exactly what will happen."

"Uh, yes, ma'am, right away ma'am!" The waiter hurried out of site, off to the kitchen.

Sammi leaned back in the booth, anxiously awaiting some food. "At least they know how to treat a customer here."

[hr]

The waiter burst into the kitchen and grabbed the nearest tray that smelled of fish.

"Hey, Darrin, what do you think you're doing?" The chef shouted. "That goes out to table seven!"

"Do you want me to still be able to serve food?" Darrin asked. "If so, then I need this right now! Did you call the Marines like I asked?"

"Of course not! I'm busy here!" came the retort. "Plus the bloody DDM is asleep again!"

"Fuck! Fine, well whatever, make a new dish for seven already!" Darrin made his way out of the prep area, food in tow.

[hr]

The waiter returned to the table, sweat visible on his face. "He-here you go, this is our bluefin tuna and cucumber bruschetta. The customers love it!" He tentatively set the plate down in front of the two at the table.

Sammi examined the tiny toasted portions in front of her. At least there were a few on there. She picked up one and sniffed it a little. "Well it is fresh." Then came the exploratory bite. She chewed it, and seemed pleased with the tastes hitting her mouth. "Very good."

The waiter was visibly relieved. "Thank you, ma'am!" He rushed out of the area, content to just leave with his body still intact.

Sammi popped the rest of the first loaf in her mouth. "This actually is really good, I'm impressed," she noted.

 

[Tim_Buoy]

?ah how rude of me my name issss ssylvesster.?
He turned to the waiter ?ill have ale and a sssssome meat.?
?kangaroo man you say that sounds interesting so how did you get to the island.? Sylvester looked the man over his outfit gave the impression of a strong person someone that would be a good to join up with .

 

[Fallen-Angel Risen-Demon]

Adding the finishing touches, Smithy admired his handiwork. Raising the katana into the air, he saw his reflection staring back at him. His smile suddenly changed into something... Different for a moment. His facial expression didn't change, but something about him did. The moment passed and he shacked his head. "Get it together, you fool." He said to himself, resting his head on his hand.

He walked out the Blacksmith's, blade in hand, and walked up to a lone tree. He moved around it, softly feeling it with his free hand. He stopped and looked at the tree, it was a small tree but it definitely had a strong trunk. He held he katana with both hands and cut diagonally downwards, coming from his right, cutting through the tree with ease. Like with most things, it was just as much about technique then the blade. He span the blade around and put it back in its sheath as the tree fell over, pleased with his handiwork.

He looked around the town, when he came across a cafe. He described Grana to one of the waiters and asked if he had seen him, then the waiter took him to the table Grana was sitting at. "Hello... Grana wasn't it? I have you blade, better then ever, just performed a test on a tree. I don't think you'll be disappointed." He placed the katana, in it's sheath, on the table with a triumphant smile across his face. "It was a quick job really, it is quite the blade. You should be more careful with it."

 

[Xero Scythe]

Grana listened to Sammi as he took a bite of the bluefin. "No, I'm not the only one with a few tricks; I just know how to hide mine the best." Grana then finally processed the taste on his tongue. "For a restaurant that doesn't have to, this place cooks quite well. I'm going to have to leave a sizable tip for the cook. It's marvelous what some people can do with a simple fish." He washed down the fish with a bit of the wine, noting how the two didn't taste bad at all. Grana then saw Smithy and smiled. "Ah, Jacques! So good to see you again! You've finished already?" Grana then heard Smithy compliment his blade and laughed. "It better be a good blade- It's saved my life countless times over the past few years." Grana drew the sword and sighted down the blade, noticing the sharpness and the strength. He then loomed for the telltale faultline that always accompanies a restored blade, and was amazed when he couldn't find one. He laughed before sliding the blade into the snow-white sheath and buckling it once more onto his right side hip, next to his tanto. "You really weren't joking about your skills, were you? You earned the full amount." Grana reached once more into his hat and pulled out 750,000 beli in cash. He placed it in Jacques' hand before motioning for the giant to sit with them. "Ah, Sammi, this was the smith I told you about, the man who was repairing my weapon. It was cut in two and is now perfectly fine, not a single chip in the surface or discoloration due to reforging!"

 

[GoWithDAFro]

Yoje took a sip of his sake. "I have a small boat that took me here. It's nothing special, but it gets the job done, and has lasted me several journeys. I came to Jingo mainly to see the sights, and maybe get some extra beli. I'm going to explore the mountains in the center of the island later on. If you're a decent fighter, you're welcome to come with me, Sylvester. It could solve your money problem."
He took a large gulp of his drink. If all the food here was as good as his sake, it was no wonder the cafe was so crowded.

 

[Tim_Buoy]

?Hey if it getsssss me beli it ssssoundsss good to me.?Sylvester took a gulp of ale from his glass It had a nice tangy taste to it. He picked up the meat shank and unhinged his jaw and stripped the meat off the bone in a few bites tastes good he thought. ?Ssso do you have any idea what is in the mountainsss."

 

[GoWithDAFro]

"Well, from what I've heard about this island, the mountains in the center are full of tunnels, most of them abandoned. A lot of refugees use those tunnels to hide away, so there's bound to some good money stashed away in there. And I imagine the view from the top of those mountains is pretty nice."
Yoje downed the rest of his drink. "But if you come with me, we could have some fights on our hands. Can you hold your own, Sylvester?"

 

[Tim_Buoy]

Sylvester removed the whip from his belt holding is up so Yoje could see. ?If someone fights me they have to deal with my whip and if that doesn?t work there?s the fact that I turn into a humongous snake. Also this.? Sylvester removed a folded piece of paper from his pocket and showed it to Yoje. It was his wanted poster the photo showed him I his half snake form constricting the last bandit that he fought while whipping a rifle out of a marines hand. The name on the poster was the sea serpent an ironic name since he can?t swim.

 

[GoWithDAFro]

Yoje examined the wanted poster. "Hmm, not bad. Seems strange for you to carry around your wanted poster, but you should be able to fight well enough. I'm glad. This trip should be good for both of us."
He swiveled around, facing the door. "We can leave whenever you're ready."

Spoiler: ok

I'm out for the night. Tim, you can start us going to the mountains if you'd like. I didn't have any specific plans.

 

[NeoAC]

Sammi noted the arrival of the rather large older gentleman to the table. It was hard not to, the man looked like he could take up a deck by himself. It was almost an indoor eclipse.

"A smith?" she asked. "Maybe I should have you give my axes a onceover then. I don't think I had anyone really look at them since I got them." She reached into the bag on the floor and pulled out her twin handaxes, small and worn down with the scars of multiple battles present on them. "I think they're starting to get a little dull."

 

[My name is Fiction]

Sparkles was done listening, he knew all he needed.
this is the best chance I got, now or never
He gets up slowly looking at Yoje with optimism.
With a booming voice loud enough to get his attention.
"Do you mind having one more man for work?" He said with a gritty smile, a bit of burger still on his teeth.

 

[Fallen-Angel Risen-Demon]

Smithy sat down as he put the money away. He looked at Sammi, then at her axes, leaning forward to inspect them. "They certainly do look worn... But for now, I must decline. I'm skipping town soon, trying to find a crew to call my own. I've been on a long journey for two decades now, trying to find a crew that'd take me. No luck yet... Guess nobody needs a 'smith, specially one that's as old as I am now eh?" He laughed loudly. "I'll be getting to old to journey on my own soon... Might have to settle down."

 

[Scarim Coral]

Jacque was taking a rest as the burger had made his belly full until a stranger make a scene. The stranger outburst had surprise him as he look toward at the man who had shouted. He isn?t impressed with the stranger antic as he had form a frown lip.

What the hell is this guy babbling about? Man he's a weirdo.

 

[NeoAC]

"Well, not necessarily," Sammi told the older man. If he's looking, we might as well bring him with us, Peter could probably use him too. "I'm actually here recruiting people to join a crew that's heading out to sea shortly. Grana here has already agreed to come with, and I'm certain if you're as good a smith as he claims, you would be welcomed aboard the ship with open arms. If you're interested, that is."

I hope he's interested. He would be a much better face to put out. He probably wouldn't even need to pay anyone, I'm half tempted to give him most of my stuff right now...

 

[Lizmichi]

Nisa slipped into a house making sure no one was around and smirked finding some gold and other things she could sell. "Ohhh I can make some money from this." she said smirking grabbing a bag and gathered it up.

"Hmmm a very nice necklace. I might keep this for myself. I think this is jade and silver." Nisa said putting it in the bag then quietly slipped out of the house jumping and walked around acting like nothing was happening softly laughing to her self.

 

[Fallen-Angel Risen-Demon]

Smithy grinned like a madman, looking down at Sammi like a man on top of a sky scraper. "Of course I'm interested! Why wouldn't I be? I've been trying to join a crew for twenty years now!" Smithy stood up and walked beside Sammi, just to pat her hard on the back. "Thank you Missus! You won't regret asking me, the greatest 'smith in the world, to join ya!"

He sat back down again and called for the waiter. "Hey mate! Bring us a keg 'o beer! I wanna celebrate!" The waiter looked at him, utterly shocked. "Well? What are you waiting for? Bring it here!" As the waiter walked off, Smithy turned to look back at Sammi. "I'll pay for it, I got enough money. I don't think we've been introduced properly, I'm Smithy Jaques. You?"

Two waiters came back, carrying the heavy keg together. They placed it beside the table and wiped their heads. "Not there, on the table!" Smithy demanded. The waiters fgaces were filled with dismay as they looked at each other, then attempted to lift it up. They both fell straight onto their arses. "Weaklings..." Smithy said as he grabbed the keg with one hand and put it onto the table, not showing any difficulty in doing so. He opened the top and held it with two hands, then began drinking it directly from the keg.

 

[GoWithDAFro]

Yoje turned to see the source of the shout. It turned out to be a very worn looking man with more than hair than Yoje had ever seen before. He beckoned the stranger over to him and Sylvester. "I didn't want to split my findings this many ways, but I suppose I'm not really doing this for loot. If you can fight, and promise not to stab anyone in the back, you can come."

He extended a hand. "I'm Yoje. And you are?"
