"Ke-KEKEKEKEKEKE! Gold? I thought you'd be smarter than that God! You know I could just raid a few ships and get as much gold as I want!"
You then wipe the tears from your last remaining eye and give the three men a serious look.
"But even if I couldn't I would never have Angel locked out of her home! Now you better start talking. I don't have all day."
Wyper then points his bazooka at your face.
"You do not demand anything from us. Least of all that filthy traitor beside you!"
"WYPER!"
"Be quiet Gan Fall! You are God. But you are still not Shandian! You have no clue what this harlot is!"
Now it's the other old guys turn to yell at him.
"And it is not your place to decide such things Wyper!"
The guy with the wolf head over his own sighs and sets down his juice.
"Apologies. Wyper was born with the legendary blood of a hot tempered warrior and can be quite foolish. But he is right in one thing. Gan Fall is not one of us and thus can not help you. However as the keeper of our tribes lore I can. Tell me child. How much do you know about your own legacy?"
"All I know is that my ancestors were also warriors, ones who had to leave their ancestral home behind due to a great plague, no matter how much it hurt their honor."
"HONOR? You traitorous scum have NO RIGHT to even utter the word HONOR!"
The guy now points his gun at Hagetaka and you just wait to see what he does next.
"You want to know what truly happened?! I'll tell you! Those of your fetid, rotting blood disgraced all of us! They turned their backs on our sworn, holy duty and sullied the name of Shandora! The entire rest of our tribe was willing to stay and continue our duty even if it meant death! They were willing to make the ultimate sacrifice AND MORE if it meant guarding our home even a day longer!"
Without budging an inch or showing even the slightest of quivers in her voice Hagetaka looked at the elder.
"Is that true?"
"Wypers words are harsh. But ultimately true. There were tales of exiles, those who forsook their oaths and left the island when the plague spread. We all thought that the punishment of the gods reached them and they all perished for their betrayal. But Shandoran blood definitely flows in your veins. Tell me child, what happened after you left?"
"My tribe traveled for long and endured much hardship. The Grand Line was as treacherous as always and without the means to navigate they had to sail quite far. Indeed, were it not for our great protector my ancestors would've perished."
"Indeed? And who showed you such kindness?"
"The living island, Crabbo."
You jump up.
"I met him! He's a great crab that flops around! He was very nice and very cool! Carried an entire island on his back and belly!"
