"Oh, you're Threepwood, arent'cha?" The fish man noticed your approach and greeted you with a smile. you noted his sharp teeth as he did so a trait that was inherent to all fish men, as far as you were aware anyway. "What's up? Seen you around town a fair bit recently, how's the hand?" There had been quite a bit of displeasure among the people in the town towards Jacob after your injury, but you had dispelled it by claiming that it had been a fight to first blood and it would heal completely anyway. "It's fine now." You shrugged, showing off your now healed hand. "Everyone needs to get their fair share of wounds before they can be called a warrior anyway, right?" You realized that you probably weren't going to retain any sort of scar after properly leveling up, but that was hardly the point. It was more the lesson than the physical reminder that was important, after all, Jacob wasn't exactly strong compared to somebody like Hephay, and he had defeated you thanks to you becoming careless about your guaranteed victory. Seeing that the information that observe gave you wasn't going to always guarantee that you could defeat somebody in a fight was a quite important lesson for you to take on board. "Aye, that's true. Everyone who claims to be a fighter should have the scars to prove it... nobody is born as the strongest after all." The fish man nodded before he pulled aside the top of his jacket to reveal a long scar running down his body. "I earned this one from my previous captain. Fish man by the name of Arlong... couple years back we had an argument about what we were doing with a village in East Blue, but Arlong of course disregarded my concerns and declared me a traitor. He cut me down and left me for dead after dumping me into the ocean. It's a foolish story, and I was a young fool when I first went with Arlong, I was... filled with hatred for humans back then, but seeing the atrocities he was committing upon people who were weaker than he was, I realized that he was little more than a hypocrite... fool I was not to heed Jinbe's advice back then." The fish man shook his head sadly. "I... see." You examined the man's scar with curious interest, honestly, had he been a smaller man, that sort of wound probably would've cut him in half. "So, how did you survive, and how did you end up in that laboratory?" It was puzzling, if he was cut down like that, then he should've been dead... especially without any sort of medical treatment.

"I clung on to life, until I ended up being picked up by a passing fishing vessel... they recognized me and handed me into the local authorities... though instead of imprisoning me like you'd expect of a criminal, they had another fate in store for me. I was transported to that... facility underneath Loguetown, just as everyone else here was." The fish man clenched his fist angrily. "But... I saw that the same atrocities being committed to me... were also being done to man, mink, merfolk and even giant. It was then that my doubts about Arlong were truly confirmed. He was nothing more than a hateful bully who targeted his vitriol for the world towards the simplest target." You had seen Arlong's bounty poster, but you had no idea about just how bad he was, the guy sounds like a total jackass, and... well, he was the sort of pirate that you'd have no problem claiming the bounty for. Though considering that the marines had shown that they were seemingly all too happy to experiment on whoever they ended up capturing, it... might've been better to just take advantage of the 'Dead' part of 'Dead or Alive' for their sake more than anything else. Just because somebody did bad things didn't necessarily mean that it gave the Government the right to torture them after all, and death would truly be a mercy over being made into a lab rat. But apparently, the World Government's idea of 'justice' was 'anything that benefits the World Government'. "Well... I'm glad that you no longer hate humans." "I'd have to be an even bigger fool than Arlong, were I to continue hating humans after one was responsible for saving us all, you might not understand just how big what you did really was, but... even if you only released Hephay, he was about the only one who possibly could've gotten everyone out, and I doubt anybody else in East Blue even knew about the existence of that underground facility. Can't imagine the commanding officer would've accepted the station if he had known." The fish man sounded familiar with the man, so you decided to pick him for some information. "Commanding officer... that's... Captain Smoker, right?" You remembered his name, but you didn't remember much else about him. "Mhm, not sure if he was called Smoker <span class="mu-i">before</span> he got his Logia, but I kinda doubt it." Cutter nodded. "Learned about him from talking to a few people around town, shame that he hasn't done anything about Arlong, for all his bluster, there's nothing that my old captain would've been able to do against a Logia user. Man turns into smoke, by all accounts." Ah, so he was the Smoke Logia, that... made far too much sense than you felt like it should. But... if he was going to go by an alias after eating his fruit, couldn't he have been a little less blatant? "Right... well, I actually wanted to ask you something else." You paused for a moment, but before you could ask the question, the pirate shook his head.

I ended up hurting too many people from that village, and... odds are that Arlong is still continuing his reign of terror there even now." The fish man frowned, and you could tell just how frustrated that he was about not being able to do more for this village. You would've protested that you weren't technically planning on becoming a pirate, but you somehow felt like it wouldn't take long for you to be branded as one by the World Government so long as you opposed them.

>>5413024 Agility is probably the best offensive stat for both Pistols and Cutlass, with our Pistols having luck as their secondary stat and the Cutlass having Willpower (tied to Insult Swordfighting) and Strength (raw damage output), and we probably need Intelligence if we're going to do Medic/Alchemy shenanigans.

"Hmmph... well... what if we went to this village? Together, we might have a chance at stopping Arlong, right?" Last you remembered, Arlong had the highest bounty of any pirate who sailed in East Blue, so if you could take him down and then deliver him to the marines at Loguetown, then you'd be able to fulfill the conditions of your bounty hunter quest before ever gaining a bounty for yourself! Of course, that wasn't to say that you didn't have any interest in putting a stop to the evil that this fish man was apparently perpetuating, to think that he would strike down one of his own comrades simply due to a disagreement... it's something that only an honorless cur would think about doing. "You'd really do that? You... you know that Arlong is the most powerful pirate that's in East Blue, right?" The fishman reminded you that Arlong was apparently no joke, but... somehow you found that you didn't really care. As strong as Arlong might've been, you were pretty sure that a bullet right between his eyes would be enough to put an end to him, and failing that... you were pretty confident with your blade now. Though you could probably do with a little more training. In fact, the same went for pretty much your entire crew, you at least wanted to get everyone to a level in which they'd be able to confidently beat somebody like Tashigi before you challenged this Arlong. "Eh, it's not too big a deal. I'm out to change the world either way, be that from government corruption or the evils of individual pirates lording their power over those weaker than them. I... I can't stand tyranny in any form." Be it mandated by government or simply through superior force, tyranny in any form was something that you had found yourself more and more devoted to the idea of stamping out. You weren't like most people, it was clear that your abilities would give you the power that you'd need to stand up against such tyranny, but the same obviously wasn't true for most people, where their only strength would come not in their fighting potential, but in their ability to refuse to cooperate... but such a refusal to cooperate could only ever work on a grand scale, such as through the unification of an entire country. But in the case of say, a village refusing to cooperate with a band of merciless pirates? All that their defiance would end in was their eradication.

"I see... well, if that's truly the case, if you truly mean to help me make amends for my past actions, then, I suppose I have no choice but to accompany you. But I warn you, Arlong... he's powerful. Far more powerful than I am, he might have attacked me by surprise back then, but it wouldn't have made a bit of difference had I been aware of his intentions from the start." Cutter revealed that Arlong was a great deal more powerful than he was, and obviously he wouldn't have been able to have done much in the way of training since he only really got loose of his imprisonment at the hands of the government, though you were already well aware of that fact. Besides... if things really got bad, you could simply eat the Thermite Thermite fruit and then roast the fish man... though you didn't really even know if you wanted to eat the fruit. At least not yet, treasure diving had been an incredibly lucrative business for you after all, and you had enjoyed diving alongside Urchii too. Besides, what good was being able to hold your breath for ten minutes underwater if you couldn't move underwater? Eating that devil fruit was something that was probably best saved for an emergency, when you had no choice but to eat it... being a fruit on par with some of the strongest logia in existence, it was pretty obvious that the moment you ate it, you'd be able to defeat just about anybody in East Blue. In fact, as far as you could tell, there wasn't much that would even be able to damage you if you were to eat the fruit... perhaps if you were to get damp, you wouldn't be able to ignite the thermite, but... considering that water was a weakness of all devil fruits anyway, you couldn't really see that being too much of a problem outside of typical devil fruit weaknesses. Still, right now, considering that the world was almost entirely made up of ocean or nations that could only be reached through ocean routes, it was probably a good thing to continue being able to swim. "Alright, we'll... I guess we'll just have to make sure that we train a lot before we take him on, I'm pretty confident that I can get everyone to at least the level where we'll be able to take on somebody like Arlong... strongest pirate in the East Blue or not!" Though you'd have to totally focus all your efforts towards training your physical stats as much as you possibly could, training with the rest of the crew to try to get everyone as strong as you were physically able before you confronted Arlong, Cutter was fairly strong as he was, but his stats clearly needed a great deal of improvement before he could even hope to take on this Arlong, especially if he was defeated in a single strike the last time he met his previous captain.

"You really think that you'll be able to help me get that strong...?" Cutter seemed bewildered by your confidence, and the truth was that you weren't actually sure, but... you did have something of an idea. If you could somehow hook other people up to the system, then you could theoretically have them spend any of the attributes that they have saved up! Though you didn't even know if something like that was possible, it was something that you were at least interested in, because if it were true... and you did have the ability to allow other people to directly increase their stats as you could, then your power would be far more powerful than it had any right to be. To be able to instantly increase the power of just about anyone with only a few minutes of point allocation, you'd be targeted by the World Government for having a power like that alone! "Well... if not, I always have a secret weapon in my back pocket." You shrugged, even if you couldn't use your abilities like that, there was no doubt that the Thermite Fruit would let you turn Arlong into grilled fish in about twelve seconds, but you kind of felt like having a power like that was something like cheating. Especially in a place like East Blue where nobody could possibly have an answer to something like that. Curiously, the book you read back in Loguetown had mentioned a way to defeat Logias without having to figure out and take advantage of any sort of natural advantage, but it annoyingly hadn't elaborated on just how that was even possible. Actually, you did consider it strange that when you were reading through that book that the page number skipped by about 8 pages but you hadn't really thought too much of it at that time, though now it was obvious that somebody was trying to hide information for whatever reason, probably the World Government, you wouldn't be surprised if they employed a book burning division or something to get rid of information that they dislike. "Alright, then... I'll be happy to call you my captain... but aren't you supposed to be setting off today?" "That's right." You quickly confirmed what Cutter already knew to be true, and the fish man turned around as he started to move towards one of the wreck houses. "Alright, then... give me a few minutes, and I'll grab my things." You waited as you had been asked to, before the fish man walked back outside of his house, with a truly enormous blade strapped to his back, Cutter was about 10 foot tall by himself, but... the weapon he had strapped to his back was even larger, a thick great sword that had to be angled so that it wouldn't smack against the floor. No... that thing was too big to be called a sword. Too big, too thick, too heavy, and too rough, it was more like a large hunk of iron. The thing must've weighed a ton... no, multiple tons! Was a weapon like that even viable in combat? "Alright, let's get going."

"Ah... yeah, let's go." You stopped gawking at the colossal weapon the fish man seemed to have decided to wield, and you started to walk towards the area that Jacob and Urchii were waiting at, the two were boredly standing around with their arms crossed... well Jacob was standing, Urchii was more sitting on the floor with her arms crossed, but the point still stood. "Sorry for making you wait, but... Cutter is going to be coming with us too, and our first location will be... is... uh..." you quickly realized that you had forgotten to actually ask Cutter for the name of the place you were going to be heading to. "It's going to be the Conomi Islands, where we're going to be trying to put a stop to the reign of terror of a man named Arlong. He's terrorized the region for years, and... I feel like it's my obligation to stop him." The fish man clearly wanted to make things right, and you couldn't really blame him. "Right, that... but first I'm thinking we stop back at Loguetown and I buy us some supplies for the journey. It's a few days travel from Loguetown to there, right?" You were vaguely aware of the location of the islands, and the fish man nodded to confirm what you already knew. "Right, so we'll need the resources, we'll also need to train a lot if we're going to be able to hope to take on Arlong... I hear that he's one of the most powerful pirates in all of East Blue." Well, in truth, from what you knew of the world already, that quite literally meant that Arlong was little more than the biggest fish in the smallest pond, though that didn't mean that he could continue to be allowed to exist and terrorize the people of those islands. You also found that your hatred for the World Government was growing ever higher, being incapable or unwilling to even do so little as to stop a pirate who was a total small-fry compared to the pirates in the Grand Line, even though he was actively oppressing an entire group of islands. "That works for me, but... we'll probably need to remain on the ship whenever you go to Loguetown, I don't exactly feel like getting arrested just for showing my face, and I don't doubt that the three of us have already been given bounties for our capture." Jacob crossed his arms and nodded to himself, he was right of course. "Not sure they'd have been able to get a good look at you though, Captain, so... so long as you don't go telling people that you were the one responsible for the destruction of the laboratory with Hephay's help you'll probably be able to avoid getting yourself a bounty." Well.. when you felt like declaring the world to be your enemy, you could always do that... you supposed. There were probably quests that revolved around getting a high bounty anyway, there seemed to be quests for most other things. "Then... I guess that settles it! Loguetown and then Conomi! But... then where?" Urchii scratched her cheek, unsure of what exactly the plan was.

>>5413395 I can't believe I have an excuse to drop the ol'copypasta
That's it. I'm sick of all this "Masterwork Cutlass" bullshit that's going on in the d20 system right now. Katanas deserve much better than that. Much, much better than that.
I should know what I'm talking about. I myself commissioned a genuine meito in Wano Country for 2,400,000,000,000 Berri (that's about $2) and have been practicing with it for almost 2 years now. I can even cut slabs of solid steel with my katana.
Wano smiths spend years working on a single katana and fold it up to a million times to produce the finest blades known to mankind.
Katanas are thrice as sharp as pirate swords and thrice as hard for that matter too. Anything a cutlass can cut through, a katana can cut through better. I'm pretty sure a katana could easily bisect a lawless pirate with a simple vertical slash.
Ever wonder why the Gol D Roger never bothered pillaging Wano? That's right, they were too scared to fight the disciplined Samurai and their katanas of destruction. Even in the Void Century, Alliance soldiers targeted the men with the katanas first because their killing power was feared and respected.
So what am I saying? Katanas are simply the best sword that the world has ever seen, and thus, require better stats in the d20 system. Here is the stat block I propose for Katanas:
(One-Handed Exotic Weapon) 1d12 Damage 19-20 x4 Crit +2 to hit and damage Counts as Masterwork
(Two-Handed Exotic Weapon) 2d10 Damage 17-20 x4 Crit +5 to hit and damage Counts as Masterwork
Now that seems a lot more representative of the cutting power of Katanas in real life, don't you think?
tl;dr = Katanas need to do more damage in d20, see my new stat block.

That isn't even mentioning that it's hard not being a criminal asset when you make the Marines/World Government look bad by existing.
Do you really think that they'd permit the existence of an individual who could for example, take on one of the Shichibukai and win?
They'd probably give them the ultimatum of "Join the marines or become a Shichibukai, your indepedant days are over."
A lot of the grunt marines are dumb, but people like Smoker should really be able to see through the bullshit, but I guess he got too caught up on his seething rage for stretchy rubber boy to notice that he's serving the whims of murderers and slavers that refuse to even consider the notion of breathing the same air as him.

"Alright... so here's the deal, everyone." You knew that this wasn't exactly going to be the easiest conversation, but... well you had to say something at some point, and the sooner you did, the better. "I'm... not exactly a normal person, I've got abilities that I don't think anybody else in the world has." You decided that you'd just open things normally, and see where it went from there. "Wait... you mean, like a devil fruit? But how? You were diving with me just a few days ago! You... you didn't eat the fruit we found, did you?" Urchii sounded shocked that you'd decide to eat the fruit, but you shook your head. "Nope, that..." you reached into your inventory, grabbing the fruit and pulling it out of thin air in front of your crew, who were all visibly shocked by the sudden display of power. "Is right here." You examined the fruit in your hand for a moment before shoving it back into your inventory. "It's the Thermite-Thermite fruit, a Special Paramecia... which is like a Logia in pretty much all the important ways." Really, you couldn't help but consider the distinction that was made to be a pretty pointless one. "Thermite itself is an incredibly hot burning substance, but I'm holding off on eating it." The rest of your crew clearly had no idea what Thermite was, so you moved on. "No, my powers... well they're something I woke up with the ability to use. They're not Devil Fruit powers though, otherwise I wouldn't be able to swim." Really, you didn't know what the implications of the system were, or where or what they had stemmed from, but you weren't complaining. "Basically... I've got an odd assortment of powers, for example, my power seems to be able to grow faster than normal and... I can sort of... view the values of my own abilities and that of other people numerically, and also increase those values permanently... or at least I can for my own sake." Your crew continued to listen in silence as you explained things to them, until finally Jacob broke his silence. "I knew it... I knew that there was far more to you than met the eye! You're like... a Greater Human!" The wolf man looked oddly excited at the prospect, and you really wanted to get a little bit of clarity from the man, he didn't really seem to be the sort to get excited over nothing after all. "Huh...?" The hell was a Greater Human? You'd never heard something like that before. "Oh... sorry, it's just... back on Zou, people had a habit of referring to humans as 'Lesser Minks'. It's something I never really picked up myself, but... the idea behind it was that humans were just hairless ape minks that didn't have the power to use Electro, which led to the term... most minks didn't seem to understand how offensive such a term actually is though." Jacob frowned before Cutter suddenly coughed loudly.

Cutter cut into the conversation, and he did have a point, judging races by their capabilities in such a manner was ridiculous. Jacob just shrugged. "What can I say, I only remember Zou from my youth, not like I agree with how they think of other people. Either way, if the captain has abilities unique to only him that neither humans or Minks have, that would mean that the whole Lesser Mink thing is totally bogus... wait, you are a human, right?" Jacob suddenly seemed to start to ponder about your origins, and you wondered where he was going with that. "Uhh... as far as I know, I am." You didn't really know, but you certainly felt like a human, and nothing had given you any reason to believe you weren't a human. "Don't be stupid! Of course Copper is a human! What sort of a question is that!" Urchii spoke up now, and Jacob quickly shut up. "Anyway, I don't think you were done, were you, Captain?" "Ah, right. Among other things, I have an elevated level of growth, I can learn skills faster than most people... and I can observe things to gain a level of insight about them that I would usually not be able to possibly have. It's how I was able to pick out my sword from the garbage in the sword shop... and it was how I was able to instantly determine the name of the Devil Fruit that we found, Urchii." You smiled at the mermaid, and she smiled back. "But... I'm still trying to figure out just where my capabilities lie." "Hmm..." Jacob started to laugh, and everyone turned to look at the wolf man as he struggled to get control of himself, eventually though he managed to recover, wiping a tear from his eye as he spoke. "Wait... if nobody else knows about your abilities... then why don't you pretend that they <span class="mu-i">are</span> from a devil fruit? Pretend to have weaknesses that you don't actually have so that marines do stupid stuff like try to use Seastone on you, or dump you into the ocean!" That... was actually a pretty good idea, by feigning a weakness that you didn't actually have, you could gain an easy advantage over anybody who might try to use water against you to their advantage... anyone like say, a fish-man! "Either way, I'm happy you told us about this, Captain. That you trust us enough to let us know your secrets." Urchii seemed happy to have been told, but... before you could respond to her, something... had popped up your vision. <span class="mu-s">[Would you like to add Urchii, Jacob Wilhelm, Haruki and Cutter to your party?</span>>Yes. >No.

I wonder what the biggest thing we can fit in our inventory is. Surely we couldn't fit an entire battleship in there. Surely.

>>5413628 Well, doesn’t all the stuff we collect come out of our pocket if we try to take it out of the inventory? So then we can hypothesise that anything that could enter and exit the pocket is viable. Really the only limit is the size of the pocket itself if I’m correct.

He fits swords, weed whackers, massive flesh abominations heads, all sorts of crap.
Typically though, the limit to what can fit in your inventory is anything that isn't larger than you are.

You didn't even hesitate to press the 'yes' button that had appeared in your field of vision, and the results were... well the results were instant and immediate, as your entire crew broke out into confused shouting as their vision was almost certainly taken up by a text box. "C-captain?! W-what is this?!" Urchii pointed at nothing in particular in front of her as she tried to back away from the text box, and the same was true for the rest of your crew, even Haruki seemed to be trying to shuffle backwards away from something. What a mess. "Everyone, please calm down... I think that I just uncovered a new aspect to my powers. There's nothing to worry about." You informed your crew that nothing bad had happened, you hadn't expected that they'd be able to see something similar to you, but... well, looks like the system was full of surprises sometimes. "What's happened is that you're probably seeing a box in your vision, right?" "Mhm, it's... asking me if I'd like to... join your party, whatever that means." Urchii seemed to have managed to recover from the sudden appearance in her vision first, and actually seemed to want to know more about what exactly was happening. "Uh... try clicking yes. To be honest, I don't really know what will happen, but I can only imagine it'll be helpful." Party systems... something that you were at least a little bit familiar with still, and with any luck, something that you'd be able to use in order to help your allies gain attribute points to spend for themselves so that they don't fall behind you. Your enhanced growth being something that could be shared would be an incredible development. "If you say so." Urchii did as you asked, and you noticed that the same was clearly true of the rest of your group too, as you saw their HP bars floating above their head, and... when you used observe on them you realized that you had more information than before, their perks and their skills had also been revealed to you! But... more importantly than anything else, their free attribute points as well! You looked through each and every one of their newly updated information, with even Haruki managing to figure out what she was supposed to do, and you soon figured out that unlike them, you had something of an advantage over them, it seemed like they only gained five free points for every 'level' that they had. (Character Sheets added!) You spent a little bit of time explaining what they were seeing, and how their attributes were indications of themselves, and it looked like everyone eventually managed to figure out exactly what they were looking at as they were now able to look at their own statistics. "Hey! Why is my intelligence so low?" Cutter sounded pissed as he was clearly able to see that his intelligence... well it did sort of leave quite a bit to be desired, really.

>>5414206 It's almost like there is a difference between +10 into CHA and +25. Gee it's almost like one of those numbers is more than two times bigger than the second. It's almost like everyone in this thread said that +10 is fine but +25 is too much. It's almost like that +10 was here from the very beginning.

>>5414690 That's all fine and dandy but by the very rule of quests if things can go tits up they will. Which means either one of our crew members can drop the ball on the plan due to insufficient stats, we drop the ball due to shit rolls, we get hit with an unforseen variable in the plan or the thread gets hit with a sudden onset of autism and makes a dumb and terrible decision because "it would be funny lol". Beatsticks are often more reliable when intrigue isn't involved, not that I'm defending making Copper a total beatstick, since gray zones do exist.

>>5414705 We've seen that you can, in fact, get away from an Admiral.
But guess what? You won't be able to do anything if you dumped all your stats into intelligence and charisma. At best, you'll end up like buggy, and loser relying on everyone else to do literally anything of worth.
But do talk more about how your keikaku intelligence stat means you'll never ever ever be in a fight, *ever*, because you're just so smart.

Or tank through getting turned into a Popsicle from the slightest tap from Aokiji. Or dodge beams of actual light until Kizaru gets tired enough to stop? Oh I guess you want to sit around and train every single day for years until we can get stats high enough to try and stat-check some of the strongest people in the setting.
Just don't fight fair or how they want to.
>>5414696 The dice do as the dice do. But making smart decisions should still lessen the pain they'll bring. A nat 1 with 100 vit trying to block a club will hurt just as much as a nat 1 trying to use a tree as a shield with less vit. And anons being anons wouldn't be much better with high physicals either. Slamming your head against a wall once with a thin skull - bad. Slamming your head against a wall 100 times with a thick skull - still bad. And if people are feeling particularly dumb that day, they'll absolutely try it 100 times.
Which is why you never have just one plan. And you don't rube goldberg it either. But I'm also not advocating making our physicals et al a dumpstat. Which seems to be what y'all are assuming. I want mental leaning not phys neglected. I also didn't even vote for our stats this time.

Having actual physical stat means we can do something instead of instantly dying. As it's shown in one piece, you *can* escape from admirals. But just trying to "outsmart" them - which, by the way, you have never said how we would - won't work
Simply put, your 'intelligence' matters fuck all in an situation where we are forced to fight. And those situations will always be there.
>Literally you are the only one saying that, you hyperfixated mong. No, i'm the one who doesn't seem to want to make an intelligence/charisma build that will be literally useless the moment things get serious and we're not just trying to swindle an proud idiot like that scientist.

>>5414722 I wouldn't mind a more brainy character, we already have a One Piece Quest with a beatstick retard at the helm (god bless Silver), it's just that if we can barely decide how to spend stats I don't see us pulling off any keikaku sheenanigans anytime soon as much as I would like to see them, so at an early phase making ourselves physically stronger may harbor better results, although then we may have the problem of ending up with a beatstick anyway if we neglect the other stats.

>>5414736 It's not even "outsmarting" you dipstick. It's preparing. You know how you beat Borsalino? A mirror. He has trouble course correcting after he does his little lightshow. If you can time it right which requires you having high enough perception to identify you can alter his course and send him far enough away quickly enough that he can't immediately reengage. Akainu? Target his ship before he gets close enough. Mines, train a shark to attack rudders. Just lurk under the water and put a big enough hole in his vessel. Aokiji? Nah he's chill you just stay far enough away from him in the first place and you're good. It's pretty easy to see him coming most of the time. Either because the wind currents change from the temperature fluctuations or you can see a mile long ice sheet suddenly appear on the horizon.
If you can completely avoid the fight, do it. If you can't then that's when you make sure the deck is stacked in your favor. Certain threats can be avoided and others need to be dealt with. Instead of treating everything like a nail with your face being the hammer you should consider analyzing things first. And you're STILL fixated on stuff that I hadn't even suggested in the first place. Chill the fuck out dude.
Also I'm reasonably certain that each of the haki types applies to will and at least one other stat. With int likely to be the one for observation. Which is way more useful in general than armament which would be str/vit. This is speculation, though. So I don't really consider this a valid argument, I just thought I'd share for funsies. Get some speculation going.
>>5414738 Silver is pretty goated. Bless his little brain. And see that's a good argument. But at the same time it's easy to fall into the sunk cost shit and end up with anons only ever pumping one stat set because they've already started. Or too evenly distributing them to try and combat it.

>>5414756 Good luck setting up any of those traps without the necessary agility or strength. Even if they were to work - which, they would only do for a single time at best, IF they didn't just brute force their way through it, you would have to be strong enough to fight any other enemies (since your plans are all attention consuming, and marines always have backup) AND to get out before you left.
Like, whats stopping borsalino from transforming mid jump like he often does and punting us into the ground? The Supernovas survived, but we would not if we had an INT/CHA build.

See how stupid that sounds? When you propose what-ifs constantly? And how having raw stats doesn't save you from a worst case scenario anyway? Having a plan is better than having big muscles. You can't raw power your way through certain foes. The admirals are one of them. The supernovas only survived because Kizaru was soloing all of them and kept turning his attention from one to the next without caring enough to take the time to finish them off. If it was Akainu they would all be dead save the strawhats who got plot armored by Rayleighs and ex machina'd away by Kuma. They didn't survive because they were just so tough (since some of them weren't as tough as the others) but because Kizaru is a bit too aloof and distracted.

"OK, so basically... by spending your points, you'll find that you'll be better at doing whatever it is that each attribute represents, so... putting your points in agility means you'll get faster, vitality means you can take more damage... that sort of stuff." You quickly told your crew just how spending their points was supposed to work, and they seemed to get the message fairly quickly, the three of them quickly coming to the conclusion as to just what the most important things were for them to put some spare points into, and you were happy to see that all of them had decided by themselves that having low luck was a pretty awful situation to be in. "Huh... what an incredible power..." Urchii used her tail to launch herself into the sky, flipping off the ground with ease before using her hands to catch herself before hitting the ground. "Huh... I really am quicker than I was before! What an interesting power..." The mermaid seemed intrigued by the implications that your power actually had, to allow anybody to become a good deal stronger through practically no effort on their part! Not to mention that the effect would be even greater on somebody who was of a higher level, somebody who was a level 100 would have a whole 500 points to assign however they pleased! "Agreed. Our captain... well, I knew there was something special about him the moment I saw him... but to think that he was hiding a power like this? Well, I can hardly believe it myself." Jacob nodded, and Cutter shared in the sentiment, of course, he had seen the greatest gains, being the highest level of any of you when you had actually started, and he was pretty easily the most powerful member of your group now. "Right... but this alone won't be enough to defeat Arlong, even with this power, I'd wager that even working together we wouldn't be able to defeat him." The fish man frowned deeply, and you looked closely at him. "If I had to wager, I'd say that going by this system, then Arlong... he'd probably be in the two hundreds for strength, agility and vitality... though I can't say much for his charisma or intellect."

You nodded as the fish man gave his assessment on Arlong's strength, before you noticed that you hadn't been paying attention to Haruki! You looked at the tiger only to realize that she had... well she'd figured things out in her own way, she'd managed to somehow assign all of her free points mostly by just swiping at the screen, randomly distributing them out among her stats, ending up with a great deal of Charisma and Strength and little else. On the bright side though, she had at least managed to assign a single one of her free points to her intelligence, so with any luck she'd be a little smarter in the future. You wondered how smart she was now, she didn't have an intelligence score before you had made her your pet, and a score of one was apparently equal to an incredibly dumb person. Perhaps it might be possible for her to actually start to understand how language worked in order to listen to more than just the tone behind your words? You didn't scold the tiger or anything for assigning her points in such a random way, it's not like she could really be expected to understand how the system worked either way. In fact, it was a miracle that she had managed to assign her points at all simply through continually swiping at the screen in front of her! "Huh... two hundreds, huh...? Well, if we do get desperate, we can always rely on the Thermite fruit, he shouldn't be able to handle that, right?" You were actually quite cautious, you were familiar with the so-called invulnerability of Logia fruits, but somebody like Arlong, the so-called strongest pirate in East Blue, what if he had some sort of means to defeat even a Logia? Something like Sea-Stone, maybe, that was something that was a little more documented than whatever the special method to damage Logias was that was torn out of the book, a special mineral that contained the properties of the sea that could strip devil fruit users of their power! What if Arlong used something like that? "Captain, we're in East Blue. East Blue is the sea that somebody with a Logia might choose to sail in if they wished to feel invulnerable. The weakness of this sea is exactly why Arlong chose to set up here in the first place, no competition." Cutter looked in the direction of the sea. "Against somebody with a Logia on their side, Arlong would be hopelessly outmatched." Cutter seemed to have faith that the Logia equivalent weapon that you kept in your back pocket would be enough to defeat Arlong, and you were satisfied enough with that. If he believed that the Logia would be enough, then you'd be happy with that answer.

"Alright then. If you're confident that your captain is only that much more powerful than we are, then we'll set off. I hope I don't have to resort to eating a devil fruit to win, but... if it comes to it, I won't hesitate." If it was a choice between being able to swim and being able to survive or save your crew from danger, then it was obvious what choice should be made. As far as you could tell, you were in something of a situation where it wasn't possible for you to lose. So long as everyone got powerful enough by the time you were at Arlong's base, there wouldn't be a threat! "Let's go!" You pointed towards the jungle and started to lead the way after scooping Urchii up and carrying her, soon arriving at the center, where Hephay was waiting for you. "Ah... so you have prepared a proper crew for yourself... this is good." The giant nodded as he looked at your chosen companions. "They all have... spirit, I can tell." The giant smiled as he knelt down and offered his hand for the five of you to stand on, and you all quickly hopped aboard, though Haruki was originally somewhat hesitant of getting too close to the giant, after seeing you have no problem, she quickly jumped on too, her leaping prowess was pretty damn impressive. You'd hate to be at the receiving end of one of those pounces! Oh wait. "That's right. You're prepared yourself?" "But of course, In fact, I have been prepared this past week to grant you the passage you seek." The giant lifted the five of you into the air as he raised his hand, before he started to walk through the jungle, his massive size meaning he towered over even the largest of the trees in the jungle, smashing his way through any that were in his path without even bothering to register their presence. This man... this giant... he was like a living machine of destruction! No wonder you couldn't register just how high his stats were! Before long, you were all at the coast to the island, though on the opposite side to that of the island that the village had been built on, Hephay obviously didn't want to be a burden to the village and cause too much destruction with his mere presence. "OK! It should take me about... four hours to swim you to the island, where you'll find supplies and a ship that you'll be able to use, just remember to press the resupply Den Den Mushi when you're finished." The giant seemed to be aware of the protocol of the Revolutionary Army, and you nodded and gave a thumbs up.

While traveling on Hephay's back, watching with no small amount of awe at the sheer velocity that the giant could swim with, you decided that now would be a good time to finally read the skillbooks you had gotten back on Loguetown, you'd mostly just forgotten about reading them. So much had happened so quickly that actually reading the books had been lurking at the back of your mind for far too long, so with that in mind you grabbed the two books out of your inventory and tried to open them. However, upon trying to read the books, you realized that... well you couldn't actually open them, either of them, and you were simply faced with a prompt that asked if you'd like to learn the skills held within the books instead. It was... odd, but useful, and a great way to save time and learn some skills that you wouldn't otherwise be able to learn without hours and hours if not days of focus and practice! [Activated Ability Learned: Sense Motive Lvl 1: When conversing with somebody, this skill can be used to determine the motive behind what they are saying, however at level 1 it is only able to determine truth from lies, and has a chance of failure.] [Activated Ability Learned: Quickdraw Lvl 1: When drawing a weapon, by using this skill, you can draw it twice as quickly as you would otherwise be able to, be it blade or gun.] Both were incredibly useful skills, especially being able to determine whether or not somebody was lying, but... at a low level, it wasn't fantastic, especially with the chance of failure. It meant that the chance for false positives or outright failures was something that you'd need to take into account when trying to use... but at the same time, even if it wasn't guaranteed to be successful, it could still prove useful if you had suspicions that you were being lied to. Of course, Quickdraw was also incredibly useful too, perhaps even more so than the ability to determine whether somebody was lying to you or not, you never knew when you were going to get into a fight, and being able to draw your weaponry quickly would definitely prove to be helpful in that case. But your new activated abilities aside, 'reading' the books hadn't take anywhere close to the time you thought it was going to take you considering that they imparted the information that they contained onto you instantly, though they also disappeared in the process... looks like that sort of skill book was a one-use thing. You wondered if the same was true for any books you might find outside of the system if they too were written specifically for the purpose of teaching the reader how to learn a single skill. Something to keep in mind for the future... also, you wondered if the same could be done for your crew, could they now receive the same benefits you did? They received attribute points thanks to being hooked up to the system after all, even if it was to a lesser extent than what you received...

With the fact that learning the skills only took you about 5 minutes in total, you needed to figure out another way to spend your time as you waited to arrive to the Revolutionary Outpost island, and you quickly decided on something that would pass the time. Trying to learn Fish Man Karate. It wasn't something you had a great deal of information on, but... from what you understood of the principles you had read as an anecdote in a book at some point, it was a special form of combat that utilized water as a medium of attack. Something like... projecting vibrations through water so that even unarmed attacks at range hit as if they had struck the target directly. Of course a fighting style like that was many times more effective underwater, but there was also water vapor in the atmosphere that the martial art could use too! But... it was something that needed to be taught, there weren't any books at all about it in Loguetown's library, and something told you that that place was going to be one of the few places in the world with as many books as there had been, and they hadn't stocked any books that actually functioned as a guide to the martial art. Then again, maybe you'd have more luck if you were to go to Fish Man island to look at their libraries... but the home of the fish men and merfolk was a tremendous distance away, positioned in the center of the Grand Line! Therefore... you approached Cutter, who was sitting down and contemplating things, though he looked up at you as soon as you approached. "So... Cutter... you know how to use Fish-Man Karate, don't you?" you asked with interest, and the fish man looked at you for a moment before nodding. "I do... but I'm not exactly the greatest practitioner of it, I prefer my blade, though I did take a few classes in it when I was quite a bit younger, though I'm a little rusty... why, thinking of learning it?" The fish man didn't seem to have any qualms about actually teaching you how to use the style of martial arts, and you nodded. "Alright, well... let's see what I can remember... I'm not exactly the sort of person who should be in a position of teaching, but maybe I can remember enough of the basics to give you a shot at learning them?" "Oooh! Did somebody say they were thinking of learning Fish-Man Karate?" Urchii joined the conversation with a smile. "Me too! I've been trying to figure it out by myself actually, but... without somebody to tell you where you're supposed to start, it's pretty much impossible!" The mermaid nodded to herself, and you both looked at Cutter, who sighed as he got up.

"Alright then... first off, when you're trying to use Fish-Man Karate, the first step... it's not to imagine you're attacking your target from a far away distance, and it's not to imagine you're attacking the distance either." The fish man breathed in as he closed his eyes, before he thrust his fist forwards, and you noticed a brief disturbance in the air that quickly dissipated. "The trick... is to attack the water itself, to focus your efforts on striking the vapor between you and your foe so that the vibration can travel through!" You nodded before preparing to follow his instructions... [Learned Fish-Man Karate 20/1000 [Agility +2 Strength +2] [Urchii's Fish-Man Karate went up by 20!] [Urchii's Agility and Strength went up by 2!] [Cutter's Fish-Man Karate went up by 20!] [Cutter's Agility and Strength went up by 2!] By the time that the island was visible in the distance, you had all managed a fairly effective amount of training, and Cutter had actually managed to brush up on his own Fish-Man Karate skills! Of course, you and Urchii also now knew the basics of the combat style, though at a low level, it wasn't really something that either of you wanted to be relying on in combat, hell, not even Cutter really wanted to use the martial art just yet. Of course at a low level it would obviously be ineffective, you noticed that even during your training, any sort of vibrations that you could cause to reverberate through the water in the atmosphere dissipated less than a meter away from you, and they weren't exactly large enough that they'd be able to do any real damage either. Perhaps underwater, but... with Hephay traveling as quickly as he was, you certainly didn't want to dive off the ship and risk getting left behind! "Land ahoy!" Jacob yelled out as you rapidly approached the island, and you prepared yourself to disembark, and upon getting close enough to the small island, Hephay stopped. "Alright, this is about as far as I can take you without just... walking the rest of the way! You guys don't mind swimming the last hundred meters or so, right?" The giant asked, and you shouted in response. "Not at all! It's not a problem!" It was clear that the water around the island was just a bit too shallow for the giant to swim, and the only place where it wasn't was taken up by the small dock that the sloop was floating on. Hephay was actually larger than the ship that had been prepared for you, and the island was only small. With that in mind, you dived into the water, and after some coaxing from Urchii, Haruki joined you, followed by Urchii, Jacob and then finally Cutter, who had decided to leave last. "See you around, Hephay!" "Indeed... perhaps with you as a newly instated officer of the Revolutionary Army, hmm?" The giant laughed before starting to swim away, and you wondered just what sort of an organization that the Revolutionary Army really were. Perhaps you'd find some more of your answers here...?

>>5415204 Actually, I wonder if we can create one-use skill books ourselves. It would be an incredibly useful way of imparting useful skills to our allies.
Unrelated, but a bounty hunter quest in One Piece would be interesting. Like, just imagine in the later stages we become so powerful as to create an official organization for bounty hunter, eventually becoming one of the informal pillars of power in the world (even if we’re still the World Government’s hatchetmen). It would be an interesting to explore, if done right.
Also, purely an intellectual question. If we even do find One Piece, does the quest effectively… double it’s wealth? Just asking for a friend.

I'd like to see something actually come of the concept of bounties though, other than them just being Unofficial Powerlevels.
As for the One Piece, it really depends on whether or not the One Piece is a big pile of treasure or something else.

After rummaging through the storage house and finding a bunch of useful stuff, most importantly for your upcoming voyage being a bunch of food boxes, though the grenades you had found would almost certainly prove to be useful in the future. Of course, even more useful than the grenades was the grapple gun you had found in a box as well as the wet suit. Both of them improved your mobility by a fairly large amount! Of course, actually getting in and out of a wet suit would normally take at least a few minutes, even if you knew what you were doing, but you noticed fairly quickly that you could use your abilities in order to instantly equip the wet suit without needing to spend any time actually putting it on! It was something that you'd definitely keep in mind in the future, being able to immediately change your clothing or armor meant that it was almost worth keeping an entire wardrobe in your inventory to choose from! It would be pretty fantastic for the sake of disguises, if you were just able to change your look with the click of an imaginary button, and would almost certainly throw off anybody who theoretically might attempt to pursue you in the future! With the new equipment safely stashed away in your inventory, you left the storeroom, Urchii and Cutter were both sitting on the dock and talking to each other about their home island, while Haruki and Jacob accompanied you in checking out the buildings, Jacob sounded fairly jealous of your ability to just store an apparently unlimited amount of resources on your person thanks to your inventory, muttering something about how much ammunition he'd be able to carry if he had something similar. You left the storeroom with a good deal more equipment, the MREs would together allow at least twenty days of travel, though you might have to go fishing so that Haruki had something to eat, you somehow doubted that the tiger would be all too happy to eat MREs. Well it probably wouldn't be hard for either Urchii or Cutter to hunt some fish, and... well, if you were attacked by a smaller Sea-King, you'd be able to receive all useful parts of its body without even needing to butcher it, so long as you actually defeated it.

ShiveringTimber !!5D/I0UzxrAI ID:QJoZEo9Y Sun 25 Sep 2022 18:23:40 No. 5415354 Report Oddly, the meat that you had gained from defeating Haruki the first time hadn't decayed or gotten rotten at all despite having been laying in your inventory for about a week now. You also felt kind of awkward about having the meat in the first place... but you tried not to think about that too hard, it was just magically conjured tiger meat, that was all, it wasn't actually Haruki. Right? You'd probably end up throwing the meat out at some point, the thought of it being Haruki would probably only end up making you feel ill when it came to trying to eat it, if it did end up coming to that. Regardless it meant that your inventory probably didn't allow anything that you placed inside it to decay, and the odds were that it even sort of... froze whatever was placed inside of it in time! You'd have to experiment further at a later point, perhaps if you were to check if a lit torch would stay burning if it was placed in your inventory? The mysteries of your abilities could wait though, you still needed to get on with exploring the rest of the outpost, your next destination was the communications area, it was... really rather handily labeled as such, which you thought was a little strange, but you didn't think too much of it as you pushed open the door and entered the building to find yourself in a very small hallway that led only to a single room ahead. Though... as you walked closer to the door, you felt a very quiet <span class="mu-i">snap</span> and immediately realized that it was trapped! You, Jacob and Haruki all looked up just in time to see a large weighted rope net falling directly towards you, but none of you panicked a single bit, you rapidly drew Glory, Jacob drew two of his knives and Haruki bared her teeth and claws before all three of you slashed at the ropes, Glory Reforged slashed through with ease as a testament to the near unrivalled quality of the blade, while Jacob and Haruki had a little more difficulty in cutting through the ropes, but were still successful in cleaving through the trap, leaving little more than tattered scraps of rope scattering the hallway. "Hmmph, looks like somebody doesn't want visitors." Jacob noted, lightly kicking a piece of the rope with his foot. "Mmm, we should proceed carefully." You noted, before you looked at the door, odds are that there was somebody in the room.>Smash through the door at full speed and take whoever is in the room by surprise. >Open the door calmly, they're probably just a paranoid revolutionary, you can talk this out. >Throw a Smoke Grenade into the room. >Call out to the person in the room.

You call out, and wait for a response, the most likely outcome here is that the person inside of the room was in fact somebody working with the Revolutionary Army, but you couldn't be certain, it was an island after all, so that meant it was theoretically possible for it to be found by just about anybody if they were to stumble onto it accidentally. "We uh... we don't mean any harm, but... we got past that trap you set up. We only just arrived on this island." "Yeah, somebody is in here! Where the hell did you come from?!" The voice that answered back didn't sound very happy. "Uhh... we came from another island, our ship was wrecked and we ended up washing ashore here." You lied to the man, if he was a revolutionary army agent, then you could actually tell him the real reason behind your arrival, but until that point, you'd just have to pretend you were some random traveler who had stumbled upon the island. "A wreck, huh? You expect me to believe that? There hasn't been stormy weather in this part of the ocean for over a week!" Once again the man behind the door seemed to doubt what you were saying, but you knew just what to say to him in response. "Well obviously, do you think sea-kings only show up when its stormy? Don't be stupid." It was an effortless lie, and one that you spoke with such eloquence that it would be difficult for just about anybody to not believe you unless they already knew the truth. "Alright, fine, even if you were shipwrecked, why would you immediately decide to snoop around in buildings?" You could tell that this guy was way too doubtful of just about everyone, and if he was a revolutionary, then he hadn't gotten the message that you were meant to be arriving. "It's called a communications station? Why else do you think I'd check this building out? I'm trying to call for help. Now, can I please enter?" You once again lied to the man, and you finally felt like you were really getting somewhere. "Alright... alright, I believe you. But there's just one more thing." The man paused for a while, leaving you in suspense as you wondered just what he was about to ask next, you were fully prepared to lie about just about anything, just so long as you could get him to open the door, your ability to Observe people would be enough to determine his allegiances, but... well first you had to get him to actually open the door. "What's that?" You felt anxious as you waited for him to speak once more, until finally, it came. "You a pirate... or a marine?" and there it was! The question that you had a chance of answering incorrectly no matter what answer you gave!>Pirate. >Marine. >Simple Merchant. >Bounty Hunter. >Ally to the Revolutionaries. >Something else?

>>5415544 It's a bit of a lazy answer but it depends on the skill of the practicioner, both are martial arts explicitly designed for combat.
Though Fishman Karate would have an initial advantage underwater of course, while I suppose Okama/Newkama Kempo would be considerably easy to use above ground, though against two masters it being above or below water shouldn't really matter.
It's just a matter of the user's skill.

It was a quick and simple lie, and one that was impossible to see through... you hoped, however, the man behind the door seemed to have other ideas. "A traveling merchant, huh? Well... what do you sell then?" The man still wasn't convinced and continued to quiz you, and you were getting just a little bit frustrated at having to constantly think on your feet. "Medicine and doctoring supplies. Or I did sell such things until my vessel was sunk." You again lied through your teeth without skipping a beat, hesitation would of course mean suspicion, and you wanted to erase any and all suspicion from yourself. "Alright, fine. I believe you, I'm opening the door... but no sudden moves, alright?" You heard some shuffling from behind the door, and the sound of a bolt being moved, until finally the door opened to reveal a somewhat short, tired looking man who looked about thirty something, his hair was brown and he was wearing a pair of spectacles and a long brown leather coat patched up in many places. His spectacles did very little to hide just how tired that he appeared. Immediately and without even hesitating you used observe on the man to figure out just what his game was. Name: 'Wise Owl' Turrin Race: Human (Owl) Rank: Revolutionary Army (Tinkerer/Enemy Communications Monitor) Devil Fruit: Tori Tori no Mi: Model Owl Bounty: 50 Million Berries HP: 2662/2662 Level: 43 Strength: 76 Vitality: 61 Agility: 77 Intelligence: 410 Willpower: 65 Charisma: 10 Luck: 66 Oh so he <span class="mu-i">was</span> with the revolutionaries! That... explained why he was being so evasive, though the fact that he eventually opened the door for you meant that he's probably just going to try to convince you not to say anything about the island to the authorities, and to just convince you to be on your way. You had also uncovered the interesting fact that you could determine whether or not somebody was a devil fruit user with nothing but a glance! "Right... a merchant." The man frowned as he opened the door, seeing that you were accompanied by both a saber-tooth tiger and a large wolf mink. He no longer sounded at all convinced about your alibi. "One... very last question, if you had the chance, would you shoot a World Noble if they were hurting people in front of you?" You froze at the question that came completely out of left field! "W-what?" You were totally not prepared for the question, but you didn't have to worry. "Of course." Jacob answered that one for you, and the man finally seemed to relax a bit.

"Alright, there we have it, you're not undercover Cipher Pol or Marines, it's expressly forbidden for them to exchange such sentiments, even undercover." He smirked as he pulled a cigarette out of his pocket and lit up with a nearby lighter. "Makes finding undercover assholes that much easier, knowing the regulations that they have to follow even out of uniform." The man took a draw on his cigarette. "Besides, even if they do want to piss around and try to say it anyway, I keep recordings, marines got no choice but to imprison or execute their own for even pretending if evidence is turned in... bunch of clowns." The man chuckled before turning to you. "And you...? Would you shoot a World Noble?" You decided that instead of just playing along with the man's games, you'd come out and tell him what was actually going on, he appeared to be intelligent... no, you knew he was incredibly intelligent, with his intelligence score soaring far higher than it had any right to, it alone was nearly as ten times his total level! "Not one week ago, I uncovered a secret laboratory underneath Loguetown that was housing dozens of living people that the World Government was using for the sake of sick twisted experiments to create some sort of nonsensical sounding super serum." You grit your teeth. "As far as I'm concerned, the people responsible for allowing such an abhorrent thing to happen deserve worse than just being shot." There was no point in playing coy, you were both pretty much on the same side, and the man smiled. "Great. So you're the guy responsible for making the ol' encrypted Den Den Mushi channels go haywire." He started to laugh and slapped his knee. "You shoulda heard em screaming at each other! Everyone blaming each other for the failure, trying to pin the failure on somebody so that they could have a scapegoat! But at the end of the day, their batshit scientist ended up dead, and all their prisoners ended up escaping. Let me tell you, they sent <span class="mu-i">somebody</span> to Impel Down over that. Not sure who, but... well that's just how the World Government works, failure is punished with death... <span class="mu-i">hopefully it was that worm Spandam...</span>" Turrin muttered under his breath, but you didn't even know who this Spandam guy was. "Anyway... I take it you were told to go here? Got a message that I was supposed to help out a prospective new recruit, though I gotta say, wasn't expecting it to be you. Figured Dragon would immediately induct you, but... well he's been kinda jumpy as of late. Thinks something big is on the horizon." That would explain him deciding to send you all the way to Alabasta before letting you actually officially join, you supposed. "So... who are you, then? I'm uh... Copper Threepwood." You knew the man's name but decided it would be better to get his name properly, otherwise you'd look immensely suspicious.

"So... what exactly is it that you do here?" You were curious as to what the man actually did, clearly something that involved intercepting the World Government's communications, but... that couldn't be all that he did, right? "Oh, me? I consider myself a man of many talents, though I spend most of my time monitoring Marine and World Government communications through my collection of Signal Intercepting Den Den Mushi, rare breed... hard to get." The spectacle wearing man nodded to himself. "Of course, when the chatter is quiet, I spend my time developing new prototypes for equipment, I've got a prototype for a Grapple Gun and an Air Rebreather in the storehouse... but they're older models and I'm working on superior versions for both, you can have them if you want." "Uh..." "You already took them and the other supplies, didn't you?" The man sighed. "Well don't worry too hard about it, the storehouse is technically meant for our agents to use to resupply, and... I've already taken a box of supplies for myself." The man pointed to a box filled with the metal MRE boxes, though none of them were opened... did he only arrive here today? "Notice that, did you? Well... there's a whole bunch of these Listening Stations out among the Seas, and a few in the Grand Line too. Helps Dragon keep an finger on the pulse of the world, and also gives our agents a place to rest and recuperate... not to mention know if the Marines are following." "I see. So... this place and others like it are basically just where the Revolutionary Army sends its agents when they need a place to lay low? Makes sense, I can imagine that you guys end up stirring up quite a bit of heat when you actually act." The Revolutionary Army might've been quite a bit more competent than you previously gave them credit for, you'd really been underestimating just how difficult it would actually be to overwhelm a global superpower... even one as negligent to its own people as this one. "Like you wouldn't believe." Turrin took a draw from his cigarettes. "Hard to really act when the World Government will inevitably send at least a Vice Admiral your way if they think that the Revolutionary Army are involved in something, and... well, aside from our top members, most of our agents just aren't on that level." You didn't really have the faintest clue of how powerful that a Marine Vice Admiral was supposed to be, but... all signs pointed to <span class="mu-i">incredibly</span>. "So... can you tell me anything else about the Revolutionary Army? I'm curious as to just what the organization is about."

You'll find many people in our ranks that have their grievances with them one way or another, be they slaves or those who suffered under the yoke of a tyrant, there's no shortage of people who dislike them with a passion." Of course, you could only act tyrannical for so long until at least some people grow angry enough to actually try to do something about it. "I see..." that much you already knew, and it was pretty easy to figure out that a revolutionary group that hated the people in command of the government would consist of people with vendettas against such a government. "We've even got a few marines working undercover for us. One of the reasons for the listening stations is to keep in contact with our men on the inside... course, just <span class="mu-i">who</span> those marines are is highly classified information, only the boss and the chief of staff are aware." The spectacle wearing man turned around to face the monitors "In a war like this, where we're so massively outnumbered by overwhelming force, our only advantage is through striking the World Government when it matters the most." "So what's the end game? Is there anything really stopping the Revolutionary Army from storming Mariejois and killing every World Noble in sight?" Jacob asked the question this time, and you were somewhat alarmed by just how bloodthirsty that he was when it came to the World Nobles... he must really know how to hold a grudge. "What, other than the fact that any invading force would almost certainly find themselves quickly being pursued and attacked by an Admiral?" Turrin shook his head. "They upped their security a great deal since the time of Fisher Tiger, and it's not so simple to strike at the World Nobles anymore... no matter how much everyone in the Revolutionary Army would like to. If anything, it would have to be an assault led by Dragon himself, and... well, I don't presume to know how the boss thinks, but... if he's not authorized an attack by now it probably means that there's something at Mariejois that he's cautious of." Turrin seemed awfully well informed of everything going on, must've had something to do with being one of the communications interceptors for the Revolutionary Army, information was pretty much his domain. "Right." It was frustrating, but... it looked like it might end up being harder to sabotage the World Government than first thought. Though the fact that they were clearly growing as a threat to their enemies meant that they were technically helping to spread the truth about the World Government, which was at least a start. "So... the sloop?"

With that out of the way with, and some more information about the Revolutionary Army on your side... as well as a quick way to immediately prove somebody is an undercover marine, well you said 'prove' because observe was something that allowed you to completely destroy any attempts of subterfuge by people acting undercover, as it seemed to immediately be able to reveal people's ranks in their organizations. Which should hopefully include even undercover Marines or Government agents! The observation skill may have shown itself to have some limits, but it was still pretty fantastically overpowered in being able to discern information about people that otherwise might've taken far too long to figure out. Like for example figuring out Turrin here was a member of the Revolutionary Army. "I guess I'll probably see you around, Turrin." You nodded to the man, who returned to his duties of watching the monitors and listening in for signals being picked up by his Den Den Mushi collection... you actually sort of wanted to ask for your own signal interceptor too, but that was probably something that could wait until you were officially instated as a member of the army. Besides, it's not really like you'd know what to do with it anyway. It was probably something that would take weeks if not months of training to figure out how to use properly, even with your enhanced capacity to learn new skills that you seem to have, and you didn't really think you'd have much of a need to intercept signals... at least not right now. It was highly doubtful that any Marine long-range chatter would have anything that was of much interest to you personally, at least while you were still a relative unknown to their organization, hell you didn't even have a bounty yet so you were still pretty much irrelevant to them. "Yeah, see ya." The man didn't turn to look at you as he waved you off, and you left the listening station to properly check out the sloop itself, there was another couple boxes of supplies on it, containing more food and fresh water, not to mention a small water desalination machine that should be able to provide fresh water for you and your crew... drinking sea-water wasn't exactly something you wanted to do... wait a second, do fish men or mermaids even need to drink fresh water? Considering that both of them could happily live and breath underwater, then... wouldn't their bodies have some sort of means to automatically draw hydration even from salt water? Probably best not to think about that too hard. "Alright everyone, you ready to set off?" You asked your crew, who had all gathered on the sloop with you, you knew... at least a little bit about how to sail a ship, but the one with the most knowledge was obviously Cutter, what with him being an ex-pirate and all. Though... really, how hard could it be? "Sure, we're off to Loguetown first, right?" Urchii asked, and you nodded quickly.

But... all of you are gonna need to stay on the ships, preferably below deck... well, I guess that Cutter and you can stay underwater?" You realized that what with them being able to breath under the waves, there was no real reason for them to potentially allow themselves to be found by patrolling marines and Jacob...? He could probably hide below decks anyway, there wasn't exactly going to be much of a cause for the marines to search your boat, and they probably had bigger things to be getting on with right about now other than harassing random visitors to Loguetown. "I don't particularly mind, but... don't be too long, OK?" Urchii clearly didn't enjoy the idea of having to be in Loguetown for any longer than she had to be, though she was OK with staying underwater at least. "Right." Cutter nodded. "The sooner that we get on our way to properly stopping Arlong, the better it will be. Those poor islanders have suffered far too long already, and there's no reason to allow it to continue on for any longer." Cutter was clearly haunted by the guilt of having helped Arlong set up in the first place, even if he was by no means strong enough that he would've been able to stop him. Jacob for his part just nodded silently, and Haruki roared in approval, looks like feelings were somewhat mixed about making the stop to Loguetown, but... you did sort of need the extra bit of time to make sure that you were all strong enough to compete with Arlong and his pirates by the time you got to Arlong Park.>You have two days before you arrive at Loguetown. >Pick two activities to majorly focus on and two to minorly focus on >>Physical Training (+Strength +Vitality +Agility) >>The creation of a new Swordfighting style (+Agility +Swordfighting) >>Sparring with your crew mates (++Strength ++Vitality) >>Swimming with Urchii and Cutter (++Agility +Vitality) >>Practicing Fish-Man Karate (+Fish-Man Karate) >>Mental Exercises (++Intelligence) >>Shooting training (+Agility +Sharpshooting) >>Diving for Treasure with Urchii (+Agility +++Treasure) >>Speed Training (+++Agility) >>Strength Training (+++Strength) >>Endurance Training (+++Vitality) >>Speech Writing (+Intelligence ++Charisma) >>Willpower Training (++Willpower) >>Playing Games of Chance (+Luck) >>Something else?

So, with everything in order, and no real reason to explore the island for whatever else it might be hiding, you finally set off on the sloop that had been provided for you, it was a fairly simple vessel to pilot, and one that Cutter, Jacob and you were able to sail with very little difficulty together, of course, Urchii wasn't really all that much help due to her relative immobility, but she was fairly good at determining the current state of the sea and weather, acting as something like a navigator to make up for her lack of usefulness in the physical part of moving the ship. You had a few days of sailing ahead of you before you reached Loguetown, so you had decided to spend the days both training up your sword-fighting as well as your ability to shoot with your pistol, actually getting a better mastery over the weapons you had took priority over just about anything else, though your allies had their own ideas about how to best spend the time they had before arriving at Loguetown too. Your shooting training went fairly well, there were fewer targets to fire at when you were at sea, so you ended up setting up a sort of shooting range with the spent boxes that used to contain meals, often engaging in competitions with Jacob, though... unfortunately, mid-way through the competition, something terrible ended up happening... oOoOoOoOo "Look, I keep telling you that you're not going to have any chance of beating me when I'm using my rifle and you're using those revolvers, captain. But... if you really want to see who's a better shot, then I don't mind." Jacob had gone into the competition confident, even after you had rapidly managed to knock down all five of the targets in the span of just under six seconds with your revolver, the bullets punching straight through the thin metal of the boxes and thankfully not ricocheting all over the place. "This is how it's done." The wolf man had smirked as he readied his rifle, and in the span of only 2 seconds had already managed to nail four of the boxes... until finally, when it came to shooting the fifth, a large explosion could be heard coming from the rifle and no bullet was fired! You had quickly looked over at Jacob to see that he had a few cuts and burns on him thanks to one of the bullets he had loaded into his rifle having quite literally exploded without properly discharging from the rifle, resulting in all the force being randomly directed through the gun. He hadn't looked too hurt by the explosion, but he had appeared distraught at the state that his weapon had ended up in. "Damn it! It's gonna take me ages to fix this! I can't believe I overloaded one of the bullets!" He had sounded incredibly upset at the current state of his rifle. Though... at the very least, he wasn't hurt too bad.

"Damn it! Jacob... are you alright?" You had hurried to his side to make sure that he wasn't actually hurt anywhere, but an observation at the time showed that he had really only lost about fifty or so HP... however his right hand had been damaged quite badly by a few pieces of shrapnel hitting it, and... you had to prevent yourself from commenting on the irony of the injury. "I'm fine. Just... can't believe that I messed up with the powder ratio, usually I get the ratio perfect!" You had to wonder how he had managed to pick up the rifle in the first place considering his last state as a captive of the marines... though you supposed that the escape must not've been instant, and he and Cutter must've just been able to pick up their belongings before making their escape with Hephay's help... or maybe they had just loaded him straight into the containment tube with it? It would've been awfully negligent if they had.,, [+16 Agility +30 Sharpshooting +15 Sharpshooting (Pistol)] oOoOoOoOo At least nothing had gone wrong when you were practicing swordplay with Cutter, who despite his massive weapon, actually made a pretty good training partner to practice swordplay with, he was a fairly skilled swordsman after all, and Glory Reforged was a blade that was more than high quality enough to withstand the blows of his massive weapon, but... you had decided that you wanted to learn a new sword-fighting style sometimes during the fight, and not one that was derivative of any of the sword-fighting styles you had already learned about, so... midway through the training session, you had decided to speak. [Learned Insult Swordfighting: A special form of combat that requires Charisma to properly function, through insulting an enemy during combat, your Charisma score can be added to attacks, so long as they don't have a comeback to your insult! However, at sea, any insult must rhyme for reasons that aren't entirely clear. Also, any opponent must at least be intelligent enough to understand they are being insulted.] "Every enemy I've met, I've annihilated!" You had decided to test the new sword-fighting technique against the unwitting Cutter, and he clearly had no idea how to respond to your words. "Huh? What?" Cutter was immediately put on the back foot as he hesitated, unsure how to respond to your insults. "It's a new form of fighting I've come up with, by insulting my enemy, they'll be too distracted in thinking up a decent come-back to respond to my physical attacks!" It sounded absolutely ridiculous, but at the same time, it was weirdly... working? "That sounds like the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard." Cutter responded to your decision to reveal insult swordfighting to him, and you smirked widely.

"Well, that's just because my skill is absurd." Your effortless response to his unintentional insult allowed you to gain the advantage once again, and your ally was overwhelmed by your attack as he was distracted by the sting of your insults! "Alright... maybe it's not quite as ridiculous as I first thought." Cutter quickly changed his tune on the new fighting style after it had been used to so effortlessly cut through his defenses. "I'm impressed that you managed to come up with something so effective so quickly... even if it does sound strange." Cutter scratched the back of his head as he yielded to you. [+14 Agility +10 Charisma + 30 Swordfighting (Onehanded) + 10 Swordfighting (Cutlass)] oOoOoOoOo The... the less that was said about your attempt to go swimming with Urchii and Cutter, the better. It was a good thing that you had the wet suit and that Urchii had been around to drag you back on board after you managed to get yourself tangled up in some underwater debris. [No gains] oOoOoOoOo Finally, in the few hours before arriving at Loguetown, you had decided to have something of a spar between everyone, just to see how much they had managed to grow by themselves... though Jacob was exempted from the spar as a result of his hand injury. Oddly enough, even Urchii had wanted to join in the spar though, apparently not wanting to be considered a weak link or anything just because she was a girl, and a mermaid at that! In the end the spar was decided on one where you had to remain standing to win... though considering that rule was considered a little unfair on Urchii, an additional rule was put in place that stated that you needed to end up with your back on the floor before you were considered out of the match, the rules were a little hard to explain to Haruki, but you felt like you eventually managed to get the message across to the tiger. The matches went about as obviously as one might expect it to, with one involving Urchii ending up being pushed over after she had tried to use her fish tail to slam people to the floor after Haruki ended up tackling into her, before eventually Cutter had managed to flip the tiger upside down and render her out of the match. Then finally, it came down to just you against Cutter, and you quickly lost out to his superior size and strength, in a competition where victory was decided by knocking your opponent over, obviously the biggest and strongest guy was going to have an absolute advantage over everyone else... but that was just one of the matches, and the final record was actually surprising, of the 30 spars you ended up having, Urchii won 4, Haruki won 6, you won 9 and Cutter ended up winning 11.

I was thinking what kind of logia would be the best for us and I had an idea - metal. It's one of 5 primal natural elements and it is insanely flexible since there are a bunch of different metals that have all kinds of properties. It also matches with Copper's name. I wasn't keeping up with One Piece for awhile but I am pretty sure it isn't taken by anyone yet.

Metal-Metal would very likely just allow the user to transform into typical no-frills iron. Anything like Steel would be right out, as Logia only allow for the user to transform into naturally occuring substances.
And people have been able to slice directly through steel since forever, so it's not like it would even be very good defensively.

After docking your ship at Loguetown and informing Jacob to stay out of sight under the deck along with Haruki, you departed. Urchii and Cutter were already waiting underneath the ship, and... surprisingly enough, security was fairly lax. You did wonder just how the marines were planning on hiding the massive hole in the middle of the city, but it had been a few weeks since it had happened now already, so they had almost certainly managed a cover-up already. You still made an effort to avoid the part of the city where you knew the facility was underneath though, even if there was probably no evidence to link you to what happened a few weeks ago, you still didn't want to return to the scene of the crime, just sounded like a good way to get captured and nothing else. Soon enough, you had managed to make it back to the marine post you had originally delivered the pirate you had caught to, and the receptionist looked up to see you with no small amount of surprise. "Oh. It's you? What, did you remember you had a bounty payment that you needed to pick up?" "Ah, sorry... something came up, I ended up finding the pirates who robbed me and I managed to stow myself away aboard their ship, hiding away until they arrived at their destination wherein I dealt with the lot of them!" You laughed triumphantly, and the woman behind the counter sighed, apparently either not believing you or just being tired of being told tall tales by bounty hunters. "Very good. Here's your two million. You don't happen to know if any of those pirates had bounties, do you?" She didn't skip a beat as she handed you the money, reaching below the counter to grab a wad of cash, asking you as to whether the pirates you had defeated had bounties themselves. "I don't think so, they originally took me by surprise, but as pirates... it really looked like they had just managed to keep their actions on the down low so that they had very little notoriety." You found that you were lying far more often than not at this point, but... considering that you'd probably find yourself slapped with a bounty of at least a few tens of millions if the Marines ended up figuring out that you were the one behind the slave escape, lying was your best action right now. "Alright, I guess that's that then." The receptionist yawned as she leaned back in her chair. "Good thing you got here within the month, otherwise your payment would've been forfeit. Something about payment not being held in reserve for too long in case the Bounty Hunter who's supposed to turn it in ends up dead... we're not a bank after all." "Ah, right yeah, sorry... but I had a few things that I needed to do elsewhere, I apologize if keeping the money for me was a pain." You were about to leave the bounty office, before you suddenly smelled smoke... and you felt an intimidating presence standing behind you.

As for the Thermite Fruit itself, remember thermite burns even when wet as it provides all the three components something needs to burn all by itself.

Of course Kuzan couldn't melt his ice, he's able to freeze things, not melt things. It's like thinking Crocodile should be able to hydrate things.
Caesar's devil fruit is one based around being poisonous gas than it is explosive gas, he can manipulate the gas in the air but needs to create an ignition.
Do you really honestly believe that a Devil Fruit where the entire point is being super hot would need an exterior force to ignite it?

It's something called suspension of disbelief, things like giant animals, sky islands and magic infinitely refilling marine guns are things that an audience can accept because there's not too much focus given to the specifics, it's just something to be accepted.
Meanwhile trying to use thermite to shoot a gun is something that is utterly grounded in reality as completely impossible, because it is explained as thermite, and would also conflict with how Thermite would be shown elsewhere in the story.

"No idea what you're talking about, chum. I'm just here to pick up a bounty." You gave your best shot at lying to the man, this was the sort of person who you really couldn't afford to get into a fight with right now, not only did his stats mean he would be able to easily overpower you if it came to a fight, he was a logia fruit user! The worst part being that smoke was something that didn't even have any sort of elemental weakness! "No idea, huh? You're telling me you didn't see the giant smashing through Loguetown a few weeks ago?" The man sounded frustrated that he was getting nowhere with you, but it actually looked like his suspicions were decreasing somewhat at the very least. He didn't exactly have anything that could even be considered close to evidence against you, and this confrontation was probably based entirely on a hunch. "Uhhh...? What? Look, I was hiding on board a pirate ship man so I could follow them back to their headquarters to get my shit back, I really don't know what you're talking about. Look, you can ask... what was her name, Tashigi?" Of course you remembered the girl well enough, but it was better to appear as if you could hardly remember her in this case. "Ensign Tashigi, I think. You can ask her how poorly equipped I had been a few weeks ago, before I managed to get my equipment back from their pirates, for example..." You slowly and carefully drew one of your revolvers from their holsters, holding it by the barrel so you didn't appear to be a threat. "My pistols, long time family heirloom, worth at least a few ten million berries... at least to me. Same as my actual sword." You holstered your pistol again before unsheathing your blade, revealing it in its full splendor to the room, it was undoubtedly an immensely high quality weapon. "Oh! Right, actually, Tashigi loaned me some money to buy a new sword for myself... so would you mind giving her some money from me?" You quickly pulled six ten thousand berry notes from your wad of two million and handed it to the Marine Captain. "I'd really appreciate it, I'm not in town for long so I don't know if I'll end up meeting her again." "Not in town for long? Why? Going somewhere?" Smoker crossed his arms, and you knew that he had actually bought your excuse as to where you had gone. "That's right, in fact, my next target is none other than Arlong the Saw, you might be aware of his existence, he's quite famous." The captain narrowed his eyes. "I got a tip-off to his location, and I'm going to go and deal with him once and for all, he's a menace to the people of the Conomi Islands, and he needs to be stopped... in fact, Captain, I'm surprised that you haven't gone and dealt with such a menace yourself."

"It's not in my jurisdiction, I'm not allowed to leave Loguetown to pick fights with pirates elsewhere unless I'm pursuing one that passed through the town. I've requested for High Command to send a Rear Admiral to deal with Arlong multiple times however, though my requests are always denied. I'm glad to see that somebody at least is planning on taking him down... even if you are just a bounty hunter." The man seemed to hate the idea of having to rely on a bounty hunter to pass judgment on the criminal fish man, and you could tell that he didn't exactly enjoy his orders of being forced to watch over the Marine base in this town at the expense of the people of East Blue. "I understand how you must feel, not being able to go after somebody like Arlong, how long has it been now? Almost a decade of him terrorizing those poor defenseless islanders?" You tried to prevent yourself from smirking at Smoker as you basically rubbed his face in the fact that the marines were pretty much worthless when it came to protecting the people of those islands. Arlong wasn't even a particularly powerful pirate, so it was really a wonder that he had managed to remain out of the attention of the marines as much as he had... and for so long as well! Sure he had a bounty, but the fact that he has been allowed to continue without really being impeded all that much by the marines was genuinely pathetic. "Yes. Almost a decade." Smoker spoke through clenched teeth as he took the money you had been handing out to him the entire time. "Try not to get yourself killed if you're actually planning on trying to take out Arlong." Fortunately, it appeared as if you had actually managed to erase all suspicion that the cigar chomping captain might've held towards you, and he turned around, storming off back out into the stret before giving you a chance to respond. You stretched your arms in an exaggerated fashion before speaking regardless of Smoker's presence. "I'm sure he won't be a problem, thanks." You were hoping that you were right, you were about to pick a fight with a dangerous pirate after all, and even with your ability, you didn't know if it was enough to overcome the fish man.

"Sorry about the captain... he's been on edge recently, and you're not even the first person he's tried to interrogate about the events of a few weeks ago... truth is that he's desperate for a lead. The brass are absolutely furious about what ended up happening, though the Captain said he didn't even know about what was going on under Loguetown, he still doesn't, actually. He didn't seem to be in much of a hurry to speak about it either when he investigated either, so nobody knows just what was down there, and... now the hole has been completely filled up with rock!" Huh... so they really didn't want people to look into things, huh? Well at the very least, with the cover-up mostly complete, it meant that Loguetown had probably returned to some semblance of normalcy. "Admiral Akainu himself arrived to assist with filling the hole!" Really? So it was that important to cover things up? That the World Government would send one of their three lapdogs? Of course... with his devil fruit ability to conjure magma from nothing, it meant that filling a hole like that was something he could do easily, as the magma would eventually into rock. "Well, thanks for the quick catch-up... and the payment, but... I gotta get going now, I've got a busy day ahead of me, and I'll need to return to my ship to get sailing again soon." You turned away from the receptionist, who's name you hadn't even bothered to learn. "Of course, have a nice day, and... make sure that you hurt that Arlong bastard, alright? As a bounty clerk, I'm... forced to read exactly what he's been found guilty of, and the fact that nobody has done anything about him for so long is just... terrible." She sounded genuinely upset at the fact that Arlong was allowed to get away with his crimes, but... with a bit of luck, and a lot of training, you'd be strong enough to deal with that saw nosed bastard. Leaving the bounty office, you sighed... that was really way too close for comfort. Though it had confirmed that there was genuinely no evidence against you rather than some slightly strange behavior, and that wasn't really going to be enough to convince anybody.

Alright then, now that you were currently free of any Marine suspicion, it would probably be a good time to actually visit the library and pick up a few books while you had the opportunity, but... at the same time, you had a few other ideas, namely... that with your ability to observe people, then it theoretically shouldn't have been too difficult for you to seek out and take down any pirates around with lower bounties. Loguetown was the very last stop that a pirate would need to take before they could enter the Grand Line after all, and with the current situation, it was highly likely that Captain Smoker was somewhat too busy to properly carry out his duties as a marine. Which meant that it was a great chance for you to take the scenic route to the library, observing just about everyone who came your way that looked suspicious or unusual enough that they could feasibly be a pirate, it was a bit of a random process, but it didn't take all that long until you managed to stumble across your first legitimate pirate, his stats... well his stats weren't even worth the effort it would take to remember, and neither was his name, though... at the very least you'd to remember it to claim his paltry bounty of 2 million. [Information omitted for being boring] With your skill at its current level, you didn't even really need to try to defeat the man, sneaking up on him and punting him in the back of the head was more than enough to immediately knock him out, and then it was just a matter of carrying him back to the marine base. Of course, you could've tried to put him in your inventory, but... somehow you felt like trying to keep a living person in there was just a disaster waiting to happen. You had also considered finishing him off and killing him, but... you just weren't really ready to take that step yet, and besides, with the current circumstances, you could be pretty much certain that every prisoner going through Loguetown would actually end up in a prison, rather than in some horrible experiment, so there was no need to really stain your hands with blood just yet.

His name was... Johanns? It didn't really matter, his bounty was equal to that of the last man who you had delivered to the marines. This guy had apparently been a real piece of work though, Johanns 'the Bomber', had only managed a single target before coming to Loguetown, that being a merchant ship that he smuggled a bomb onto before escaping on a raft. Really, he was more of a terrorist than anything else, though he wasn't even a terrorist that believed in anything other than causing chaos. The receptionist was happy to receive the unconscious man, and she quickly slapped a pair of cuffs on him before having a marine carry him off to a nearby cell. You asked if the woman wouldn't mind handing you a few pairs of cuffs to make you life easier, and she shrugged and accommodated your request. Unfortunately they were just the standard steel pair of cuffs, and not the fancier sea-stone cuffs that were used on high profile criminals and people with Devil Fruits. Apparently those were things that were limited only to people with officer ranks and above. The man had been such a total no-name that he had dropped absolutely nothing of any value upon you knocking him out, and though you had gotten a decent amount of experience from him, it wasn't nearly as much as you wanted, or indeed as much as you would need in the future. Of course, the two million you had gotten from just effortlessly bringing the man down was incredibly helpful too, and you quickly shoved the extra cash into your pocket. Just six million left for 10 extra attribute points in your physical stats! With the wanted man delivered to the marines, you made an effort to keep an eye out for more wanted men, and it really wasn't long until you found one, another goon, though this time he had a bounty of about four million... 'Two-lifed' Tim, upon checking his stats, his agility and strength were more than half of your own, so... it was a simple matter of sneaking up on him before pulling your dagger out and threatening to cut his throat with the razor sharp blade, holding it up against his neck. "How you feeling Tim? You wanna see how many lives you really got?" You threatened the man as you slapped the pair of handcuffs onto him, getting yet more experience points for technically defeating him. You wondered what the difference between how you defeated him and how what's his name got taken out by a pot was, did you need to actually physically take action in a fight for it to count as a victory? Or well, if not fight, at least take an action other than staring. [+200xp] [Level up!]

With the second pirate delivered into Marine custody, you soon found yourself with another four million berries in your pocket. It was fortunate that the marines were authorized to immediately pay out to those who had successfully done bounty-hunting for them before, at least you wouldn't have to wait this time, and... despite what the Marines may want people to think, it was pretty blatant that they at least kept a couple ten million berries at the outpost in case they needed to pay out for any Bounty Hunters, in the rare case that one actually did manage to cash in on a bounty. After all who would be dumb enough to try to break into a Marine Base? On your third attempted trip to the library, you finally didn't end up bumbling into any wanted men, and you actually managed to enter without issue, though you certainly didn't mind being a whole 8 million berries richer from your bounty hunting efforts, it hadn't been enough for you to actually fulfill the requirements of the quest... so you were still very much on the lookout for another pirate to fulfill your quest. At the library, you checked in with your card and quickly got to work looking for books that might prove useful to you, putting any that seemed like they could be relevant directly into your inventory, it wasn't technically theft because you had every intention to return them when you were done with all of them. But you also wanted to amass as much knowledge as you possibly could, as well as a few fictional books to read when you just wanted to relax. You didn't let the librarian know you had taken anything out at all, just smiling as you left after about an hour of browsing and reading. [Gained: Large variety of non-fiction books covering most mundane skills, Fiction Books: The Tales of Captain Thompson #1-#5, Cloudworld #1-#3, Mysteries of the Sea #1.] After you left the library, you decided it was about time for you to get going, you'd left your crew waiting long enough... or that was what you were about to do until you saw somebody who caught your eye, a gangly looking man wearing a thick coat. That sort of thick coat... definitely wasn't the sort of thing that a normal person ought to be wearing.

ShiveringTimber !!5D/I0UzxrAI ID:QJoZEo9Y Wed 28 Sep 2022 01:48:37 No. 5418067 Report I'm half tempted to create a new rule for the same number being rolled multiple times where they are treated as only a single roll, I seem to be noticing a lot of duplicate numbers being rolled. Also, this new rule would mean that getting multiple 100s in a single best of roll would be a super crit. But multiple 1s would be a super crit fail. Or maybe I'm just being too kind.

You couldn't just let somebody like a serial killer be allowed to continue wandering the streets unhindered, and... with how you thought of the marines as a worthless law enforcement group, you may well be the only person currently in Loguetown with the chance at stopping the man from continuing his killing spree. You just couldn't permit that... no you couldn't permit that at all. You kept your distance from the man as you inconspicuously followed him through the streets, you didn't exactly look like the sort of person who was a major threat, especially not after you quickly stashed the weaponry you were wearing in your inventory when you were sure that nobody was watching you. You wanted to appear as harmless as possible to the man so that he didn't get cautious and try anything rash, doing your best to appear as mundane as you could. Fortunately, that wasn't really all that difficult to do, especially when your clothing was so typical and plain and you weren't visibly armed. You looked just like a typical person walking down the street. You followed the man for a good ten minutes, you didn't exactly know if he was heading anywhere in particular, but... it didn't take long for him to head down an alleyway, which you knew would be your chance at stopping him! You crept into the alleyway mere moments after the man had, and... there you saw him, examining a drain pipe that was close to an opened window, very possibly planning out his next crime right now! You scowled as you realized that he was likely plotting another murder, and the man turned in surprise at the sudden noise, only to find himself staring down the barrel of one of your revolvers, materialized in your hand through quick use of the inventory. "Christopher Moody, I presume?" You kept your voice low and toneless as you confronted the man, you had no personal quarrel with him, but your innate disgust for those who preyed on the weak and defenseless was flaring up quite a great deal as you looked at the worm. "Y-yes. That's... that's me. What... what are you doing with that?" The man appeared to be terrified at being held at gunpoint, and you said nothing, only quickly tilting your weapon down and firing two shots into the man's lower legs. [-120HP] [-120HP] "Aiiieeerrrghhhh!!!" The man collapsed to the floor, blood gushing out of the two new holes in his legs as you stood over him. [+200xp] "You're the Night Stalker, aren't you? I've been tracking you for a while now, and I think I've amassed more than enough evidence to bring you in dead. But... here's the thing, you can either confess to your crimes and get a nice long stay in prison... or I can splatter your brain across the paving and bring a corpse to Captain Smoker." "T-that's nonsense! You... you couldn't know anything! I... I covered my tracks!" Wow, he wasn't even trying to hide his crimes, then again, he'd already been shot in the legs, so maybe he was just too shocked to really know how to defend himself anymore.

You felt like it would've been harder to actually shoot somebody and leave them with a potentially lethal injury, but... scum like this didn't deserve any sort of mercy. "F-fine, just... just don't kill me!" You looked at the man coldly before you grabbed him by his collar and started to drag him through the streets of Loguetown, whispers and hushed silence surrounded you as you roughly dragged the killer through town, towards the marine base, until you finally entered the bounty office once more with a hysteric killer bleeding from his knees. "Here's your Night Stalker, I caught him plotting his next victim in an alleyway, and I'm sure a comprehensive search of his house will provide any additional evidence that you'll need." You slammed the man on the counter, and he groaned. "Now, he'll also be happy to provide a confession, right?" "T-that's right. I... I'm the..." The man narrowed his eyes as he looked at you hatefully likely preparing to try to proclaim innocence, but before he could say anything, you opened the coat the man was wearing, and thought it had just been a hunch, opening it had revealed all sorts of daggers, knives and other sharp instruments all neatly tucked away on the interior of his jacket. Clearly, they could only have been intended for the sake of torture or other nefarious deeds. "I believe that's all the evidence I need, though of course we'll also search his home, anything to get closure for the families of his victims." The woman behind the counter happily accepted that the man was who you said he was after seeing all the torture tools, many of which were clearly handmade. "If there ends up being a problem with your bounty, I'll let you know... but as you've already helped a great deal today already, I have no problem with granting you the bounty for the Night Stalker. But... if it turns out that this man isn't truly the Night Stalker, you will be forced to return the money and also pay compensation for his medical treatment." The woman clearly believed in the man's guilt thanks to you having already handed in a few bounties already. Nobody ought to be wandering around the streets with dozens of torture implements on them anyway. You thanked the woman as the man was escorted away to have his bleeding legs bandaged up, you hadn't aimed for a vital spot, so he should be fine, though he wouldn't be walking again for months at the least.

It was about time for you to set off now anyway, you'd accomplished more on Loguetown than you were expecting to, and though you would've maybe have liked to have bought some vitamins for the journey in case you ran out of food at some point, you decided against it, not wanting to have to enter any more chemists or apothecaries in Loguetown after what you managed to uncover in the last one, of course there was also the fact that you were pretty sure that there were only two such stores in the entire town, and one of them was now no longer in operation thanks to the giant... and the other may want you to pay damages for the fact that the idiot pirate you ended up capturing a couple of weeks ago had managed to damage their store, and... well you didn't really want to pay out of your bounty, and you didn't think that it would be that important to get food here either way, you could always catch fish and store as many as you would need in your inventory anyway. Hell, you could probably even have Urchii and Cutter help catch fish considering their incredible mobility underwater! No, you didn't need to spend any more time in Loguetown, you'd spent enough time in the town catching random crooks and killers as it was, and though you did manage to turn in a quest from it, there was no point in spending any longer in the town than you had to, your crew were waiting for you and you didn't want that Captain Smoker to go snooping around your ship either, you might've managed to alleviate his suspicions for now, but it probably wouldn't take long for him to get suspicious about you once more, he was clearly quite intelligent, and very likely incredibly determined to get to the bottom of what happened three weeks ago, after all you highly doubted that just because he was a marine he was truly OK with the prospect of such experiments. The World Government seemed to excel at masking their worst crimes from those working for them at the lower levels, after all would anybody want to work for such a monstrous organization if they knew the sort of things they actually got up to?

You were happy with what you had accomplished anyway, you were pretty damn rich now, thirty six million was a fair amount of cash to have on you, and... well, you just weren't all that bothered by running out of food, after all, what was the worst that could happen anyway? The sea was bountiful and full of fish, and you had two people who could catch them by hand... was it OK for Fishmen and Mermaids to eat fish though... wait. No that doesn't sound right, if you recalled correctly, Urchii had specifically left any parts of the rations she had been given that included meat in them, though Cutter hadn't. Did that mean that she was a vegetarian, or that all merfolk were? Did they all just eat underwater vegetation then, well, you supposed that there was no shortage of that either, even if you didn't exactly relish the prospect of eating boiled sea-weed or something. You could probably make some fairly decent vegetable dishes... Just as you were approaching your ship, you frowned... you really didn't want to run out of food, so you ducked into a nearby market. Supplies were important, and as far as you could tell, you could hold an unlimited amount for an indefinite amount of time in your inventory, so with that in mind you spent a whole five million berries on supplies! [Items Acquired:] [Fresh Loaf of Bread x100] [Oranges x500] [Lemons x100] [Limes x50] [Bottle of Fresh Water x300] [Carrots x200] [Lettuce x200] [Beetroot x50] [Seasoning Kit] [Cooking Kit] [Tomato x200] [Cut of Beef x10] [Whole Chicken x5] [Finely Prepared Meal (Hot) x15] [Barrel of Rum x3] [Barrel of Sake x2] [Milk Bottle x40] [Eggs x100] [Butter x30] [Assorted Confectionery x100] [Giant Cut of Unspecified Meat on the Bone x4] [Bag of Rice x50] It was a pretty long list of supplies, but... hell, it sure would beat having to rely on eating rations for the rest of your time sailing, especially because there really didn't seem to be any sort of expiration date on anything you held within your inventory, so why not take advantage of it? You even checked to see if hot food would get cold if it was stored within it, and it remained just as fresh and hot as it had been when you put it. With a whole bunch of new supplies in your inventory, you returned to your ship and started to prepare it to sail away, making sure that there were no marines around as you hoisted the anchor to the ship. It didn't really matter all that much because you somehow doubted that most marines would notice somebody with a brand new and comparatively small bounty, but you still wanted to be careful about things, a stray marine with a better than average eye for bounties spotting Jacob would do little more than lead to a nightmare for you.

"Alright, all done, we're off again now." You greeted Jacob as he revealed himself to you, untangling himself from a pile of ropes and rigging and surprising you with just how good he seemed to actually be at hiding himself, for somebody as large as he was, he'd done a remarkable job at managing to blend in with his surroundings. "Great, I was getting tired of hiding myself... though I'm not really a stranger to blending in with my surroundings. Hunting teaches you a few useful skills." Jacob stretched, clearly at least a little bit sore for having spent most of the day hiding away in a pile of assorted sailing equipment. "You managed to do what you came here to do?" "Got a whole bunch of new supplies and also managed to make some more money for us by going after criminals and killers with bounties and turning them in with the marines. The World Government might be corrupt and evil, but..." "Right, right. It's not a bad way to make a living, going after people who deserve it and being rewarded for your deeds." Jacob nodded, and you soon returned above decks with the wolf man, only to find that Cutter and Urchii were already there and waiting for you, they must've pulled themselves back on board while you were getting Jacob. "So, off to the Conomi Islands now, right?" Urchii asked with a smile, though Cutter seemed a little more reticent about the idea of returning to the islands. "That's correct. It's time we take down Arlong. But... we're going to need to make sure that we're all ready for it." >You have ten days, for the sake of simplicity, choose four things to focus on for that time. >Combat Skills >Physical Stats >Mobility >Mental Stats >Hunting Sea-Kings >Looking for Pirate Ships at sea >Learning Fish Man Karate >Diving for Treasure >Something else.

We got some good agility stat boosts the last time we chose training stuff, and these should (hopefully) round out our ability to avoid letting Arlong completely set the pace off the fight/get close and effortlessly crush us in cqc.
>Diving for Treasure >Mental Stats also I'd like to ask Cutter about how Arlong fights just so that we aren't surprised by his massive fuck-off sawblade/water throwing, unless that sort of strategizing would be it's own timeslot
