[Smoker's not sure how much he believes any of this, it all could be an elaborate plot by one of the pirate emperors on one of their islands further on the Grand Line, though, he very much doubts any of them would be foolhardy enough to kidnap him, and still leave him a pair of seastone cuffs and his jitte. And if it was Kaidou, there's no way X Drake would leave Smoker running free and unhindered. But any of the Emperors usually felt most secure on their own islands, surrounded by their own people, so it could just be arrogance to sell the illusion. Still, whether fake or not, best to play along for now until he could prove otherwise.]

[And the best way to get information? Was to ask as bluntly as Smoker ever did. You'd be amazed at what pirates would give away if you just asked.]

Three things. [He holds up 3 fingers.] One, where can I get an endless supply of good cigars? [And he means good. And endless. He's smoking two at a time, they'll go quickly.] Secondly, what's the nearest bar? And thirdly, what is there for law enforcement or bounty hunting opportunities around here? [Because if he was kidnapped to play toy hunter for someone....]

[Might as well see what or who they wanted him to hunt, really.]

[And the idea that he might just be announcing to all the criminals that he was coming? Yeah, he knows, he prefers it that way.]

[She thought she might as well say this because it she had so wanted to.]

Planning on killing yourself with lung problems?

No.

[.... :|]

[That's just... all he says in reply. But he lights up another pair of cigars, carefree as you please.]

Are you sure. With the amount you want, that would surly kill you. Not that I judge, you can do whatever the hell you want.

I'm not going to die of smoke.

That would be like a fish drowning.

Where I was from, a lot of people actually did. But that was because the smoke screwed up there lungs and made them black as the night.

Once you fuck up your lungs you are done for.

Thanks for your concern.

[Holds up an arm, and turns it into smoke.] But I'm a lot more likely to die of everything or anything else.

It wasn't a concern, just stating facts.

[A pause if only for a moment.]

You mean like an STD? [She is clearly joking.]

[RUEFUL GRIN.]

If I don't clean up my act, according to Hina, yeah probably. [Also joking. Badly.]

Well have fun with that.

I probably will. Up until the actual disease, of course.
