This was the first time he had ever heard the boy identifying himself with a name. Kyou, was it?
“Even if it isn’t your real name, this isn’t the first time that an alias has been used on a wanted poster,” Pluto added. The prime example of that were the two members of the Straw Hat Pirates: Sogeking and Usopp. Given the long nose, hair color, hair style, and the fact that Sogeking hasn’t been seen ever since his debut, those two were undoubtingly one and the same person.
“Hmm…, well then… Kyou, this is just a speculation, but it wasn’t just us on Dojo Island. Do you remember how we ended up on that island to begin with? Do you remember those people who tried to kill us? Well, you weren’t there for this, but I happened to have met one of the members of the organization. He was a tracker who used bloodhounds to follow our scent. He was probably spying on us for quite some time. I don’t know how much power or influence the organization has, but I’m merely suggesting that they could be responsible for your bounty poster after what you’ve done. I can also think of a reason why they didn’t place me in the same boat as you,” he offered a potential explanation.
In the past, the two of them were in terrible danger together. One way or another, they ended up on the enemy’s ship at night, under attack by all sorts of fighters, mercenaries, and assassins.
“If such people were to collectively gather background information about you and provide evidence –regardless whether they’re true or not-, they could make a case about it,” he offer one potential point of view. Since the force that targeted him belonged to the Underworld, they were bound to have all sorts of complicated networks and connections to allies across the seas. Given the diversity of members on their side, it wouldn’t surprise him if they had the means to pull this stunt off.
Funny how rather than being called ‘good’ sir, the newly made friend addressed himself as the ‘great’ Morcant O’Donnell. Perhaps ‘good’ was too much of an understatement. If he was a fashion designer, then that would explain quite a lot about his nitpicky comments on other people’s appearances. He was likely a perfectionist as well. As the panda multitasked between cleaning the plates of food before him and listening to his man talk, Maru was also intrigued to hear a glimpse of his former student’s past. That must have been quite a rough experience, and it only goes to show how these two people must have had a past together before.
“Hmm…, Morcant, don’t ya think they newly hired waitress is spending more time chitchatting with the customer than doing his job?” The panda began to tattletale on the person whose name he now knows is Kyou. So that silly name –Mari Sue- was just a complete lie? What a jerk! What was the point of lying about one’s name to a panda?
Hmm… it would seem neither of them suspects a thing. As expected of me! Although… now that they’re taking this seriously and beginning to use their heads, this is lowering the chance of me seeing those two fight at each other. Hmm… I need to come up with something.
What better way to spend one’s lifelong vacation than to watch some entertainment right after a delicious meal? If this was how things were to play out, then he needed to think of something to trigger something else. He knew very little about their pasts, so he must be extra careful this time around.
