Action / Video with Aizawa

[You know the song 99 bottles of beer on the wall? Well, they seem to all have been drunk and the empties rearranged into a table top bowling alley in the Fairy Haven. Because that's safe. Smoker looks miserable, but it's Smoker, who would know?] I haven't been this wasted since my academy days. Not because I drank this much then, I got it into my head to try making my own cigars. Big mistake.

[Meanwhile, Aizawa tries to roll an empty bottle from one end of the table to the other where the bottles stood like bowling pins. It doesn't even make it half way through, instead it rolls off one side of the table. He bursts out laughing when Smoker talked. Aizawa looked so cheeky and grinned.]
You forgot to light it first, dumbass.
[He was gone.]

No, but what I wound up smoking wasn't tobacco. Not sure what it was... Probably don't want to know.

[Aizawa:] ... that was my scarf. You smoked metal alloy... how?

[Smoker doesn't seem perturbed.] Oops.
Moku moku no mi. My world equivalent of your world's quirks. Don't worry, it's right here! [Tickles Aizawa with smoke tentacles shaped like a scarf. Yes.]

[Aizawa? Ticklish? No way he is... oh no, he's laughing obnoxiously. Mic would kill for this. He falls off the screen still laughing. Oh hey, there's a sound of a crash]
Why-- [He's still laughing.]I can't-- PFF dammit stop that!

[Which then crashes the video and turns it off. OTA action at Fairy Haven and video responses might be from either when they figure it out.]

[That glare and stubborness just make her smile as she's starting to see what Augustine might see in him.]

Und never presume to give me orders. I've had my fair share of commanders und Masters. I refuse to bow to anyone anymore unless it's Marco und even zhen I haf no issue questioning zomething I don't agree vith.

I von't even follow commands from my own fazher.

[She just watches him and honestly, if he knew what she did in those years she was in the military, he'd understand a bit better why she embraces the fact that she's a monster.]

I vas once. Zhen I got a better perspective after my death.

[Rip refuses to say more on the matter unless it's with people she trusts and that doesn't include Smoker. Will it eventually? Who the hell knew.]

Zimple, Augustine is a dhampire. I haf no doubt he's killed in zhe past und haz vorked hard to atone for vatever he's done.

...It makes him a better person zhan I am.

[A cigar? Really? Rip glances from it to him with a raised eyebrow.]

I'll pass. One of my previous Master's smoked und I'd razher forget she ever existed.

[Aw. He GRINS at that. And actually grabs a drink and holds it up to clink against hers.] Cheers.

[Oh Rip. Ask Namur about the crimes against humanity the marines do sometime... Smoker is an exceptional marine, but Akainu is still his boss. And Akainu doesn't feel an ounce of guilty about ANYONE he's killed: marine and pirate alike.]

Masters, huh? Is that a... vampire thing, or --?

[Head shake and closes his eyes.] I trust Augustine's justice.

[She grins as she raises her bottle to clink it with his.]

Cheers.

[She might do that someday. Her motto used to be 'My bullet punishes all without distinction' and she was very good at killing, still was.. she's just a little more in control now. It wasn't perfect control.. but, it was there.]

Sometimes, but... not in zhis case.

[She shrugged.]

I vas magically bound to zhe voman vho commanded my killer in one of zhe previous vorlds I vas in. It's vhere I met Namur und Marco.

Namur vasn't so thrilled I vas.. enslaved und I vas trying to find a solution before I ended up here und zhe binding vas cancelled zomehow.

[Which was just sheer luck for her. And maybe Marco's fault. Who really knew.

Rip took a drink from her bottle and nodded a little.]

Auggie's a good man. Passionate.. sweet und magnetic. Zhere's a reason I fell for him~.

[She then glances at Smoker with a slight smirk.]

Und I never said ve vere exclusive~. Vell, not vhen it comes to ozher males anyvay. I'd just razher him not see any ozher vomen.

Namur's people have dealt a lot with slavery. It's one of the reasons I have the respect for Whitebeard and his children I do. When the holy city was sealed to pirates, the only way for them to reach the New World was through Fishman Island. Rather than protect the island and its children, the government looked the other way so that nobles could profit from the slavery and racism.

[GUH. HE LOOKS SO ANNOYED AND UNCOMFORTABLE AS SHE STARTS TALKING ABOUT AUGUSTINE HOLY SHIT.]

I didn't ask.

[Augustine. Passionate? Sweet? Magnetic??????? ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT THE SAME DERP?]

[Sweet Buddha in Mariejois, he'd rather hear someone talk up how great Portgas was in bed.]

[THAT'S HOW BAD THIS DAY HAS BEEN.]

[THAT'S. HOW. BAD.]

So he's told me. I didn't realize at zhe time vhy he vas so upset vhen I found it more annoy.

[And once she found out, it made more sense why Namur and Grell were upset about it.]

To be fair zhough, I'd razher enslavement over being killed again.

[She shrugged and then just honed in on his discomfort when it came to Augustine and smiled. He might want to be wary of that particular smile.]

I don't zhink you needed to~. Zo, tell me about how you met Augustine~?

[How did they meet?]

[...] He was trying to stir up trouble and drawn like a magnet to the marine thing. [Gestures.] I'm sure you know, having been a ship commander too.

[Rubs the back of his neck SUPER SHYLY.] And I like history. [THAT SOUNDS SO FUCKING STUPID TO SAY OUT LOUD.]

[He's also not going to tell her they took each other out for birthday cake, that's even more stupid.]

[She nods, being slightly amused both because she understands being drawn to authority and the fact that their own first meeting had been slightly magnetic.]

No vonder you like him zhen. He knows quite a bit of history, perhaps even more zhan I do. Besides, I'm not surprised by zhe magnetic attraction, he does haf zhat kind of personality.

One zhat draws you in just to see vat kind of sparks might fly, good or bed.

[Annoyed.] You're really presumptuous, you know that?

I never said anything about what I think of him. One way or another.

[She just smiles, shrugs a little and sips her bottle of booze.]

True, but, I've seen people get embarrassed or shy about talking about people before und it's never vithout a reason.

[Fuck his face. Because of course he's red again for all his tsun eye roll glancing away.]

Who the fuck is shy or embarrassed?

Nothing I'm nervous about. I just don't do this grade school shit of gossip or whatever the fuck your world calls it.

[Oh she knew that look very well. Can he see her grin? Rip's very amused and miiight just have to encourage Augustine to take Smoker out on a date later for her own personal amusement. ]

My vorld calls it a 'conversation'. Maybe you've heard of it~?

Nope. Can't say I have. [Sarcasm, obviously.]

So it's interrogation without one side being in authority? Sounds hella dull.

Pity, you might enjoy it vith zhe right partner.

[See her amusement at his sarcasm? It's rather hard to miss.]

Not alvays, it depends on zhe subject matter being discussed. Like, for instance, I'm curious about zomething.

Vhy do you like history zo much?

[His ears flick at that. He likes the innuendo. Can't return it, especially not this smashed, but likes it.]

[As for why he likes history..........................................]

[Shit.]

[Fuck.]

[WOW.]

[That's the most dangerous topic he could have picked.]

[There is not enough alcohol in this whole universe/multiverse WHATEVER to get that out of him without being careful, because even SMOKER would DIE of alcohol poisoning first.]

[All right where to begin?]

[He debates brushing her off. "Why does anyone like anything?"]

[He LIVES It.]

[He LIVES FOR LIVING IT.]

[Roger.]

[Straw Hat.]

[The Will of the D.]

[One Piece.]

[The course of humans, of lives. Of will power choosing over destiny. Of struggling to make sense and order and justice in the chaos and wickedness.]

[SLOWLY; VERY VERY VERY SLOWLY AND DELIBERATELY, as if EVERY SINGLE WORD Is poking a field of landmines with his jitte:]

People get too focused on what's right in front of them. The daily grind. No one really sees the big picture. One fight that becomes the deciding fate of a kingdom for thousands of years to come.

[Even that much... makes his heart race uneasily. It's dangerous. The more he knows. The more he says. How it easy it is to be fooled by newspapers, by thinking you're informed, only so that someone above you can pull the wool over your eyes. Missing pieces.]

[One Piece.]

[His eyes narrow on a spot on the wall before he just focuses on drinking, temporarily lost to memories of a bar in Loguetown.]

[Gol D. Roger.]

[Portgas D. Ace.]

[Monkey D. Luffy.]

"Inherited will. Destiny of the age. The dreams of the people. These are things that will not be stopped. As long as people continue to pursue the meaning of freedom. These things will never cease to be."

[There's a special kind of reverence with how Smoker quotes that, you'd think it was the motto of the marines itself, instead of the dying words of the worst pirate of all time.]

The World Government tries to crush those three things. To control it. And it can't. I've seen it. I've fought on their side, and they always fail. Roger was right.

History doesn't ackwnowledge justice. But true justice always has to acknowledge history. The tug of war between right and wrong, only serves to power up the waves of history. As people rise together, band together to deem what they want in a society, what kind of world they want to create, that IS history. One person can make such tsunamis. [Roger and Portgas metaphorically, Whitebeard and Blackbeard VERY literally.] But even the most island crushing tsunami [Kuzan and Akainu's fight] is only a small moment in a very long time.

It's the repeated waves that have the most power, turning cliffs into sand, and even slowly drowning islands no matter how high they're built up, and as they say, history repeats itself.

[That... was nothing close to what she was expecting. Seriously. She didn't realize Smoker had that kind of level of thought in him so, just give her a moment and another bottle before she starts to even formulate what to say to that.

Screw it, make it three more bottles. ]

Zhere is a saying in my vorld. 'Zhose for forget zhe past, are doomed to relive it.' .

[She went quiet after that as her mind sort of..Rip's on her fourth bottle. Okay, time to try and drink herself into not thinking to hard herself.]

I find zhat humans haf a short memory vhen it comes to remembering zhe horrors generations before. Zhey forget.. und zhen zhey repeat zheir mistakes. Justice is rarely a factor, at least... in my vorld. Right und wrong are subjective to zhe ones in charge.

[And there goes the fifth bottle.]

In my vorld, I fought for my country because I vished to prove myzelf against people vho thought a voman couldn't do zhe same as a man. I proved zhem wrong.. und still it vasn't enough.

To zhe rest of zhe vorld, ve vere zhe evil ones. Zhe var machine zhat destroyed billions. To us? Ve vere...

[She hesitated for a moment, staring at her bottle.]

Ve vere fighting for our countries survival und following zhe path laid out by...a mad man.

[She winced a little and finished off the bottle before reaching for another. It's damn impossible to get a vampire drunk without magical means but, Rip sure as hell was trying.]

Zhe only reason I agreed to be made into vat I had now vas because of my desire to prove I vas vorth something.

[She shrugged and hello sixth bottle. Someone might want to take those away from her.]

I don't need to be reminded zhat one person can start a ripple affect zhat vill affect billions und reach across zhe entire vorld. I've lived it... twice.

Besides, I vill admit zhat...I may haf enjoyed zhe purpose I vas given. Zhe thrill of zhe hunt und zhe sounds of screams in the depths of zhe night. I never said I vasn't a monster... I am simply more in control of my life now zhan I vas zhen.

[Seventh bottle is a go.]

Und I have learned since zhat time vat.. not to do. I'm razher fond of living now zhat I haf reasons to.

That's fairly universal. Ask Augustine to take you through his exhibits sometime. The non-painful ones.

[Smoker knows how the needing to drink fifty bottles to truly dent non-human constitution is. Made of smoke, after all. And even with his jitte and cuffs or Aizawa able to block him from turning INTO smoke, it still doesn't stop his unreal constitution.]

[He listens quietly, patiently, he's about to mention Hina and Tashigi and even Tsuru or Big Mom, but the part about screams gets an arched eyebrow from him. Maybe a bit more like Akainu then.]

[... Or Sadi. \:|/]

My second in command, Tashigi can be a bit headstrong like that. She's gotten over thinking she has to prove herself to the world just for her gender though. We still haven't had a female fleet general in recent history, but Tsuru could hold her own with Garp, Hina was my best friend in the academy, and there are many female pirates, including one of the four pirate emperors. Pirate Emperor was Whitebeard's position before the war. Although he was a bit of an exception as the strongest man in the world.

I'm not into screams, that's more of Hell, Impel Down's thing. Not something to bring up around Portgas or his family. But yeah... they called me White Hunter. So hunting I get.

Funny though, haven't done it much here. Not really a lot of cause for it. Bounty hunting isn't quite as popular in my world as here, but one of my close brothers, Daddy, the Father, retired as Loguetown's sharpshooter to be a bounty hunter. I can't really imagine being anything other than a marine, but I guess if my world was under as much control as these five cities, I wouldn't need to.

If we're still both here in a couple months, ask me sometime again about Akainu and Kuzan. I'll get really blasted again like this and maybe let myself be a little treasonous. We'll see.

[She's listening as she downs yet another bottle and honestly? She might feel a bit jealous of the women able to make names for themselves in his world. Her own only.. slowly started to get better over the decades. It was just when she joined the military...Not so much.]

I gazhered. I zhink Namur or Marco varned me of something similar considering my own razher colorful past und my... unique tastes. But, zhey also accept zhat about me.

[Once that bottles empty, she stares at it for a moment, pouts and then huffs before setting it down and heading to the bar, looking for something stronger. Like Tequila because Rip makes wonderful life choices.]

But hunting.. zhat I understand all to vell. I am a huntress und it iz how I survived in two of my previous vorld. Und vell, I spent fifty years hiding in a jungle. My sniping skills had to be kept sharp somehow.

[Just don't ask what she was hunting back then. It's best not to ask.]

I love zhe thrill of zhe hunt.. zhe feeling of being alive again~! Zhere really is no other rush quite like it.

[For a moment she was nostalgic and maybe yearning to be able to do such a thing again! But, she also knew how easily she could loose control and she fought with that part of her.. that lurking insanity every day since the Dream Docks.

Rip found the bottle she was looking for and added some blood from her flask before she started drinking the Tequila like it was water. ]

I hafn't done much of it here eizher. Zhough, I've done a few bounties here un zhere vith ozher people. I know better zhan to do one alone.

[She set down the bottle, only half full now.]

Zhere vas no ozher path I vould take. Even if I had to do zhings over, I'd still join zhe military und become a vampire. I don't regret a single zhing I've done even if it haz lead to my death... Vat I do know iz zhat I am trying to break a cycle of death on my part.

[She grinned a little before going back to the bottle and drinking the other half.]

I'll take you up on zhat offer in a few months. Ve can both see if ve can get ourselves really plastered.

Mm. The Whitebeards pride themselves on that, yeah.

Jungle huh.

[Wry grin and a laugh.] Deal.

I'm getting zhat und I'm grateful for it.

[She grinned.]

Yes, Jungle.

[Now she was laughing as she reached for another bottle.]

Perfect. I'll remind you in a few months. Now, lets do our best to try und drink ourselves out of it... even if it iz an impossible task.
