I'm thanking you because it's still important to me and I'm grateful. [Eyerolls....]

[But the other part.]

[He goes quiet and finds a sushi chef, HAVING HAD NO FUCKING CLUE IT WAS A JOKE WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT IS A JOKE, NAMUR?! DAMN IT, SMOKER IS USUALLY THE ONE WHO JOKES AND NO ONE KNOWS IT!!!!, grabbing a seat quietly in a stool at the bar.]

It wouldn't be a problem for me, if he changed it all, actually. [VERY QUIETLY, but firmly all the same.] It'd probably be a lot better. And I told him I'd help him if I could. [And he means it. Every treasonous, would-get-him-jailed-or-murdered word.]

Is... Are you all still set on vengeance, if Portgas' killer ever came here?

[om_nom_namur]

[Whatever.]

[Namur smirks, mouthing the word pirate after Smoker admits that he would help Ace change things if he could. But the smirk fades quickly.]

Akainu shows up... hell, I'unno. Guess it depends on if he leaves Ace 'lone or not. An' if Marco wants t' give 'im shit. Probly gonna be pretty damn aggravated t' show up an' find Ace 'live an' sleepin' with one a his officers though, so that seems kinda like a pretty li'l up yers in itself, sheheheheh!

[justicereigns]

[Just.... quietly red.]

[It was pretty much a big portion of WHY he was doing it, and he doesn't care about people knowing but...]

[He fusses quietly with his cigars instead to buy himself some time.]

I'm fairly certain Akainu would not be willing to leave Portgas and his brothers alive.

And Portgas can't even stand Freeza. And I know Adela's had to keep secrets from him...

[Rubs his temples.]

[His cheeks somehow impossibly get even redder, shooting Namur the tiniest of sideglances, his ears literally smoking from embarrassment.]

You're not -- you don't find it a fuck you to your crew though? [Either because they trusted Ace or whatever Ace's agreement for them all to only let Ace deal with Smoker. What a weird truce bargain. And that was even in comparison to dealing with the Straw Hats and Trafalgar Law.]

[om_nom_namur]

[Lord of the Sea, what is with this guy? Curious, Namur sticks his finger in Smoker's ear, to see if it'll stop leaking or just billow out doubly thick on the other side.]

Pirates do what they want, dumbass. Got a list a couple miles long with names a Marines that's slept with a Whitebeard Pirate, sheheheheh!

1/2

[justicereigns]

[TWITCHES, JERKS, JUMPS SLIGHTLY. JFC NAMUR, EVEN ACE WOULD GET PUNCHED FOR THAT.]

[And that's WITH the smoke making it less sensitive gah!]

[Even though he's going to try to play it off as nothing >:|]

Seriously?

2/2

[justicereigns]

[Well... he shouldn't be surprised. Most people would probably put Smoker high on the list for NOT sleeping with a pirate. And then again some like Kuzan and Hina would just sigh in exasperation and say it was probably inevitable. Assholes.]

I'm not a pirate though. [>:|]

[om_nom_namur]

Ain't my fault y' sprung a leak, sheheheheh!

[Namur laughs, but shrugs and puts his hands visibly somewhere else, like on the countertop.]

'S why it's yer problem an' not ours. 'S part a the beauty. Marines be flippin' their shit while the pirates jus' think it's funny as hell.

[justicereigns]

I didn't spring a leak.

[HUFFS.]

[SIDEGLANCE.]

[UNSURE HOW TO FEEL ABOUT THIS.]

[Thinking.]

Whatever. As long as you're amused.

[om_nom_namur]

Okaaaay.

[???]

[Long, awkward silences seem to be a running theme here. Namur doesn't have any idea what to do with this situation.]

So, uh. All that 'side, this's really weird. The hell y' tryna get at? Like. What even is. [Namur makes a motion with his hand, indicating the two of them and the shop and just sort of everything about the situation.] This?

[justicereigns]

[Double facepalms and faceplants into the table with his arms around his head.]

[Oh his god Namur.]

[You just made it worse.]

[You took the amazingly awkward thing and made it EVEN MORE AWKWARD.]

[HOW? WHY?! By Shirohige's white facial hair, WHY?!]

[Smoker answers but it's probably not very coherent from his arms and mushed cigars still in his mouth mind you.]

I just wanted to get Portgas' big brothers threatening to kill me out of the way, I didn't expect you to enjoy it or be more accepting than him about it.

[And he picks up his head from the table.]

What the hell kind of a big brother are you, anyway? You're supposed to be all, "split one of his perfect hairs and I'll drown you." [FROWNS.]

[AND THEN POINTS A FINGER.] He didn't even know how to give mermaid blowjobs. [Spreads his hands in exasperation.] Shouldn't you have shown him around Fishman Island better, or at least... Not be okay with him sleeping with a marine?

[Face palms again and mumbles.] I don't get your crew at all.

[om_nom_namur]

Ain't gotta threaten whatcha already know, man, sheheheheh!

But seriously, what, want me t' say I'm sorry for bein' me, stead a some shitty stereotypical pirate asshole y' built up in yer brain? Cuz I ain't gonna. Pirates all got their reasons for bein' pirates, jus' like Marines has all got their reasons for bein' Marines. Every person's differnt, an' everbody's a child a the sea in one way or 'nother. Ain't gotta be hatin' on folk for shit someone made up, catch my drift?

[justicereigns]

I don't sit and eat sushi with people I hate.

And the Whitebeards never fit how pirates are supposed to be. I wouldn't be here if I thought any of you did.

[om_nom_namur]

Thennnnn what's yer hangup? Shit, y' taste more stressed'n a hydrophobic anglerfish!

[justicereigns]

That's it.

The fact that I don't hate you. Isn't that enough?

[GAWD NAMUR.]
