smokinghunter | [Video] / Action for Violet City

[Smoker's up on Sprout Tower. The outside of it, high up. How he got there is better left unasked.]

And here I thought I promised never to come back here.

[What can he say, he's feeling nostalgic, even if he spent months in this city with people no longer in the world. Just one of those days. Around his neck he's sporting a certain monkey wearing a straw-hat. Though he's got his murkrow out next to him. But for once, they aren't bickering, just quietly reflecting his own distant mood. What can he say indeed? He should be chasing pirates, or dealing with his crew nearly blowing themselves up or some other stupid thing. Instead he's surrounded by animals and little kids. But that's almost a good thing, which really just makes it weird.]

I hate the song for this place. [And nope, he never can master the art of tuning it out.] All right, everyone on this fake den den mushi thing, what's the rarest pokemon you've seen or heard of? One you're sure almost no one else has? Would you rather have one like that, or just one you consider strong? Maybe one you can be friends with?

Certain idiots in my world have a convoluted idea of treasure. For the stupidest of them, it's money or gold. For the wiser ones, it's usually some random piece of junk that has memories attached to it. Actually, my world is a lot like this place. Millions of idiots try to rush to the end of the end of the Grand Line, fighting other pirates or marines just like gym leaders, all to prove they're the strongest, or the best, or to try to reach the end and see what the greatest treasure in all the world is. It makes me wonder if there really is a treasure at the end of all this, but then, I was never one to hunt One Piece, just the pirates along the way.

[But sarcasm aside, that's weird.]

Why did the others keep helping him then?

No confetti, I'm not cleanin' that up. Gets everywhere. Ban on glitter and confetti, got it? [HE CAN GO ALL DAY SMOKER.]

[He shrugs.] Pure evil?

[Okay that just gets a laugh though.] Fine. I never was a fan of the junk anyway.

Seems like a weak reason.

[He chuckles back.] Damn right you weren't.

Eh. It's not my reason so I can't tell you why.

Clashes with the... [Pauses. What does it clash with? Aside from everything.] Hair. [Good enough.]

Tch. Maybe it was loyalty?

...Okay now I wanna see what yer hair looks like sparkly.

Well, lemme ask you this. If you were extremely loyal to someone who was destroyin' the world to live forever, would you help them out?

God no. Bad enough the brat kept covering it in candy.

My loyalty is limited to Justice, first and foremost. Pirates are more prone to idiocy however.

...Okay, what? This sounds like a story.

Then that's yer answer? Kinda goes against the question but I'm not gonna judge.

The only way to shut Straw Hat up is when he's eating. But then he gets it all over my hair. [Shrugs. Honestly... that's the story. He could explain that this could all be resolved if he just didn't carry Luffy like a monkey on his shoulders, but nope.]

[And a sideglance.]

I personally wouldn't, no. But I can think of several hundred thousand idiots in my world who would. To be more direct.

Straw hat? [He'll go back to the fact he seems to only be eating candy in like a few minutes, trust him.]

Oh, and lemme guess... at the thought of gettin' power from the person. Right?

Little pirate brat I'm going to capture when he's an adult.

Not exactly. They do it out of loyalty, however misplaced.

...Well, that sounds fun. Why not capture him now?

But there's gotta be a reason behind that loyalty.

Because he hasn't actually committed any crimes yet. And just because this world turned him into a child doesn't mean it counts.

Maybe their bosses are nicer to their minions than the rest of the world?

Too bad, tho'. That would make your job a hundred times easier.

...Huh. Ain't that just the strangest, tho'?

I don't think I'd want to capture a kid anyway. It's pointless.

[Grunts and nods.] Criminals are strange like that all right.

And they completely mess up yer home. It's awful.

Yup. Very strange indeed. Then again, criminals ain't like you and me. For one thing, they like handcuffs more than the rest of us.

And get food and berry juice everywhere. [Damn brats.]

You think they actually like them? [Siiiide glance. Not going into Smoker's handcuffs kinks on this, nope nope nope. ~~But he has some serious doubts that criminals like his cuffs more than him.~~]

See, that's why I don't got kids... or a home. Or juice for that matter... [biggest brats.]

They seem to get caught up in them often. [wait is this something he can tease him about? he wants to know. he has to know.]

Juice was practically the only way to get him to shut up. Although it's really just trading one hassle for another.

Yeah, but they run away from the cuffs. [A small snort. ~~Probably something he could be teased on, good luck finding out though, because he is not going to be super obvious about it.~~]

I recommend coverin' the entire world in plastic for that sorta situation.

They eventually come back to 'em. [Yeah wait until date number five.]

Is that even possible?

Not often enough. They always try to put up a fight. Even if it's a weak fight.

I dunno, we could try it.

They like the challenge.

Seems like just as much work to clean up.

I wish. They're just bullies. Always run when something stronger comes along.

Less work cause all you gotta do it throw water onto it.

...So they all run when they see you, basically.

Yeah? And then where would the juice-water puddle go?

If I'm not fast enough, yes. [He sounds proud about it though.]
