Mission 11 : Thieving Monkeys...

[orcbane256]

Having arrived on an island by impersonating a merchant ship worker, (no one decided to ask because of his terrifying demeanor) Karu decided to explore their destination, Fuschia town. He noticed it was a small town, and it was comforting to him. When he got to the tavern, he didn't quite know what to do next. He had really just hitched the ride in the first place, and did not really have an actual goal for the destination.

Looking around, he decided to lean against the wall of the Tavern, and attempt to listen in on people's conversations to see if there was anything to be done. He, however, did not realize how menacing it looks to hang out near a tavern just leaning against the wall and watching people. He didn't really take to people rushing away from him as anything abnormal, he just thought everyone was in some sort of hurry.

Finally, a man walked up to him and asked "What are you doing there anyways? You should not scare people away from the tavern..." Karu looked to the man, then looked around himself. He responded "Oh, I am sorry, I didn't know I was scaring people. I will just go inside, and maybe have a drink or something." The man gave Karu a confused look, then walked off, shaking his head. Karu entered the tavern, and sat at one of the tables, wondering who to ask for information.

Meanwhile...


Dylan sighed. People were running as always. His bounty, which was a large one for the blues, was scaring away the civilians of Fuschia Town. Although many of the scared weren't even running from his direction. Some were running across him, meaning there was another disturbance on the island. As far as he knew, Dylan was the only wanted head on Fuschia Town; not many of the notorious decided to camp out here. Apart from a few "relics" and "museums" about its most famous resident, Monkey D. Luffy, Fuschia Town was a largely empty place. Sure, the food and drink was good, but there was nothing interesting. As a doctor, this annoyed Dylan greatly. Still, with the new distraction somewhere on the island, there could still be adventures to be had.

Of course, Dylan had a reason to come to the island. A rich man was offering 50,000 Beli to anyone who could return some stolen goods. It was said that some inhuman thieves were the culprits, but by inhuman Dylan didn't have a clue what they meant. Were they monsters? If not, then he was a little surprised that the residents here were being troubled by something as easy to tame as an animal.

Sighing, Dylan trudged off in the direction the people had ran from. He had heard that there was a good bar over there too, so it was a win win situation.

-----------------------------------------------------------

When Dylan arrived at the bar, the first thing he noticed was its emptiness. There was one man sitting at a stool, wearing a reed hat, but no one else seemed to be around. Even the bartender wasn't there, although it was highly likely that he was out back preparing drinks.
"So you're the source of the trouble hmm?" said Dylan with a hint of annoyance in his tone.

He had expected something more than this to frighten everyone. Sure, the man's appearance wasn't the most warm and welcoming, but it was incredibly rude to run in fear. The man didn't even have a bounty! There was no way the public knew he was a threat to them! Dylan tutted and shook his head. People could be so uncivilised sometimes. He walked over and pulled up a stool at the man's table. He introduced himself.
"My name is Dr. Dylan Wolf." he began. "What's yours?"

While waiting for an answer Dylan played with the information slip he had in his pocket. He wondered if he should ask the man opposite to join him. Besides, without a crew there wasn't much point in having all that money and being a pirate. He looked up at the stranger and passed the slip to him.

"You in?"

Perhaps something interesting was on Fuschia after all.

Upon hearing the question about being troublesome, Karu looked to the doctor. "Oh, I am not trying to be, I guess I did something people find offensive here. I mean, I didn't think watching people by the bar would be so unnerving! I just wanted to know what's going on around here!" He chuckled.

Karu was happy the doctor came to speak to him. When dealing with people, Karu was not very proficient. He was on the farm most of the time, and wasn't very knowledgeable about social norms. Usually his friends would do most of the talking back at home, because when he tried, he would say something very confusing or offensive. Upon Dr.Wolf's introduction, he responded "Nice to meet you, Dr.Wolf. My name is Lanko Karu. I am skilled in the use of Kamas." He said, tapping the Kamas secured by his sash at his right side.

Karu hoped that showing one's weapons was not a threat in this area. He had done so to show him what they looked like, but he hadn't really thought about it before he did so. However, when the man handed him the slip, he read it silently. He then thought to himself "This is my kind of job!" He looked to Dr.Wolf, then stood up. "Count me in, Dr.Wolf. I think today is about to get more interesting."

"Oh, I am not trying to be, I guess I did something people find offensive here. I mean, I didn't think watching people by the bar would be so unnerving! I just wanted to know what's going on around here!" He chuckled.

Dylan nodded. He was still waiting for a name, and eventually he got it.

"Nice to meet you, Dr.Wolf. My name is Lanko Karu. I am skilled in the use of Kamas."

Karu pointed to the Kamas secured in his sash, and Dylan stifled a chuckle. It would be entertaining to see the sickles in action, especially against his swords. It was not often Dylan had murderous thoughts, and he didn't like them. He shook the idea of getting up, putting a hand around Karu's neck and letting his power fly from his head. The lack of sleep was getting to him.

"This is my kind of job!" He looked to Dylan, (and then, otherwise the comma is unecessary) then stood up. "Count me in, Dr.Wolf. I think today is about to get more interesting."

Dylan flashed a fake smile. He had a partner. Of course, it was entirely superfluous to request the help of a stranger in dealing with the troubles ahead, Dylan was perfectly capable of handling himself, but company was always welcome. He adjusted his clothes, and pointed to the door.
"Let's go, Karu."
