[you know Bartolomeo only uses video because he loves shoving his fangy face into everybody else's faces. Especially when he's feeling trolly.]

Okay, maybe I ain't been here as long as some of y'all but...serious question. We all get the paper, right? Doesn't it bug you even a little bit just how much people in these cities like to murder the shit out of each other?

[there is a certain irony in Bartolomeo the Cannibal appearing bothered by murder. Spoilers, he's not, but he's super curious.]

And it ain't even overpowered assholes like us, it's the locals. Like, damn, man, we get a delicious selection of bounties every other week because the locals are straight up murdering the ever-loving fuck out of each other. What the hell? I'm a damn pirate and I don't see this much blood on a regular basis. Nobody else thinks this is kinda weird? Or are we all just hungry for that sweet, sweet bounty money? I betcha that's it, huh? Y'all just want the cash and don't care whose blood had to be spilled to get it there. [super-fangy grin] Yeah, I knew it. You're all just as gross as me.

And here at the beginning I was a little tiny bit worried that the Guardians would be a thorn in my ass and would put a stop to my hard work. Heh! They can't even stop the bloodbath, so of course they're not gonna get in the way of a crime boss. It's kinda nice. Thanks for doing such a shit job, authorities.

[really, he's in a mood and it's either this or he mocks people for not even knowing that their loved ones have disappeared. Barty could be a hell of a lot worse but he'd rather poke the beehive of law enforcement]

The hell y' talkin' 'bout? People'd murder the shit outta each other all the damn time back home. Why the hell y' think my Old Man had t' go 'round plantin' his flag on a buncha islands an' shit? Jus' cuz a buncha other dumbasses thought it was cool an' copycatted him don't mean 's a thing pirates usually do.

[SUP NAMUR]

Nah, nah, I get that, but that's pirate-on-pirate action, right? Or, well, pirate-on-civilian but here, shit. It's like nobody can keep it in their pants.

Maybe they're just bored or something. Everyone's living too close together with nothing to do.

[is currently on a roof somewhere in Genessia City though mostly in shadow]

[rooftops look comfy right about now]

Ohh that's a good theory. I like that one.

I'm pretty bored, too, but you don't see me stabbing people left and right. Man, even that doesn't sound fun! Wanna do something cool, Ace-sama?

Yeah because you're a good dude. [he believes in you Bart-chan. With a sigh he flops on his belly]

What's cool? Nothing's cool to do. We could go sit with the dogs in the shelter. [but even they remind him of Luffy]

I have been wondering that myself. Humans are so curious, killing each other in rather bizarre ways.

[He raises his two right eyes.]

So you call yourself a crime boss?

Ugh, right again as always. [his never-wrong hero Ace-sama] Even the bars aren't cool! Is this what it's going to come to? Pirates who can't be pirates because there's nothing to pirate?

[well now, this is interesting. Talking creatures that say more than their names!]

That's right, I do. Ain't bragging, just a fact of life.

Care to share which city you're in or provide some proof of crimes? All it sounds like to me is that you've been sitting around hoping someone will notice you if you whine loudly enough or someone would've noticed you much sooner.

[ Weiss has no problem mocking him back, especially since he seems like the kind of guy to get upset about it and give some actual useful information besides 'weh no one's coming after me yet.' ]

Right...

[Not impressed.]

I'm sure things would be much worse without the Guardians. But even they can't be everywhere at once.

Maybe we should break the law? [but he doesn't sound too committed to it] Man I wished I'd hung out with him more when he was here.

C'mon, sweet cheeks, you really think I'm that dumb? [surprisingly, Barty's more about bragging than he is about whining] Nah I'm just really surprised, y'know? I'd have thought I'd have to be looking over my shoulder constantly and yet, here we are.

Nah, I do that for a living, even that's lost the thrill when there's nobody chasin' ya. [awwwwwww Ace-sama nooo...Barty plops his chin into his hand, completely and totally agreeing] I know, right? I got so busy trying to prove I didn't need him and then one day he wasn't there to even notice. [just a little sniffle]

True, true. [digging in his ear while he chats] Maybe these towns ain't as small as they look, if they're so hard to police.

So what's your deal, then?

I could chase you. Could be fun. Oh but you might want to get bandages first. [since if he's going to do it he's not going to make it easy]

[but talking about Law just provokes another sigh]

People just leave all the time here.

Fine, why don't you tell us who isn't doing their job at least, considering you're acting like we all aren't but you clearly can't be in five places at once.

[ He's definitely obnoxious in her opinion, at least. ]

It's hard to feel humiliated if you think it might be one of the four other archways so there's no reason to suspect your own.

[psh Ace you know he can deflect flame with his barrier. More like watch out for the poor civilians]

I don't need bandages, I'm good. What's a game of hide and seek without a little danger?

[buhhh yeah he'd have loved to annoy Trafalgar some more but...nope] ...yeah, I get ya. It's shit.

Kyehahahahahahaa! Maybe not five, but a good crime boss can be in at least two. Maybe more. [very much not answering. Half the reason may be because he can't remember the name of whoever's in charge]

Seriously, though, you don't wonder why there's all these murder sprees in your city? Is there something in the water or something?

...My deal? What do you mean?

What are you? Obviously not one of them things that hatched out of the eggs the other month. Those didn't seem to be too smart and they were all weird colors.

I'm a dragon. And we also come in various colors. At least where I come from...

No shit? I mean Zoro-senpai was saying he saw some around here but I thought he was just pulling my leg. That's pretty cool!

Hmm. There are dragons who live in Fayren, but they like to keep to themselves.

[A very brazen crime-boss; Ted wants to whoop his behind. But fat chance of an open conflict. Guess he'll have to settle for words.]

That's an interesting view. Justice, after all, is reactive, not proactive. Would you really like them to stop crime before it starts? Are you familiar with the one from your world named "Akainu"? I recall he too favored such a bud-nipping philosophy.

But your point isn't lost; for a toy world, the toys mean an awful lot of death. A chilling trend.

[Ted no, he'd destroy you without breaking a sweat.

The mention of Akainu has him scowling, though, showing his fangs]

Did I say one word about justice? I don't think so. It ain't about that, I'm just wondering what about this place makes its usual residence decide to up and murder each other for no apparent reason.
