When Soren looked at the new bounty on Blue Reaper he had wondered how it went up, but like God had answered him Carrot spoke.
[You should know… Just 3 months ago you went and destroyed a Marine base killing 5 Captains and injured a lower Vice Admiral… You then went on to state that you would kill anyone who was sent at you, then disappeared into the wind like you were never there]: carrot
Soren was surprised to hear about a story of himself but not himself, he had many ideas come to mind about who might impersonate him but couldn't think of who he pissed off most. He then tried to sweet talk Carrot again, while Carrot looked at Soren in fascination, Soren then spoke up while grabbing Carrots attention.
[You know… That wasn't me… I have laid reclusive and out of sight for many years, I even forgot about what I did to get a bounty in the first place… I'm just a plain adventurer now]: soren
Carrot was caught by Soren's words and couldn't help but start questioning him about what his life was like being an Adventurer, Soren answered the best he could as the questions were asked so fast he couldn't think of an answer before another one was asked, and after 2 and a half hours of Q&A Carrot finally broke and saw Soren as someone interesting that she wanted to follow and go on adventures with.
[If I free you can you take me with you?]: carrot
Soren didn't hesitate to answer Carrot.
[No… My journey is going to have lots of battle and bloodshed, I already have to watch over my Wife so she doesn't get hurt… And I also think you will get off of her sooner than you think]: soren
Soren hinted towards the future when Luffy will arrive here and Carrot will join them. Soren seeing Carrots pouty face couldn't help but crack a smile as he spoke once more.
[Anyways… I'm here to speak with the leaders of this Island, and then I will be off… Like I said before, I never came here to harm any of you]: soren
Carrot looked at the handcuffed Siren and covered her mouth with her left hand while hiding her chuckle. She then spoke up in a condescending tone.
[You say you never meant to harm us but even if your intent was to harm do you think you would have won? Look at you, your still bound by cuffs you silly… But I don't mind removing the cuffs if you promise to take me adventuring with you hehe]: carrot
Soren just looked at her with her mischievous antics before he raised both his hands up towards her showing ger the cuffs. Carrot took this as a sign that she won the battle and got her way, she then took the keys to the cuffs and turned back to Soren who was still there with his hands in the air, but just as she was about to use the keys while humming a Victory song with her eyes closed she heard a *Chrank* sound, and as she opened her eyes with the key in her hand she saw Soren with broken cuffs around both of his wrists and a smile plastered on his face.
[ H-how!?... Just what are you?... Wait! You could break those the whole time!?]: carrot
Soren could see the looks of confusion still lingering on Carrot's face, Soren then gave her a slight chuckle while he brought his right leg and crossed it over his left, he then placed his hands into his lap and started to speak.
[I can fight evenly with a Marine Admiral, do you think these pesky cuffs could hold me?... Anyway, can you take me to your leader now?]: soren
Carrot who was still confused about how strong the guy was and still let himself get captured, Carrot then snapped out of her thoughts when Soren spoke about visiting her leader, she quickly thought against it but then thought about how strong this guy was and about all the innocent lives on this Island, and after a quick debate she reluctantly took Soren to meet their leader.
Soren was brought to a building that looked like your average office building, it had 3 floors with both floors below the 3rd floor having rooms filled with warrior's. On the 3rd floor It was an open space with a couple of desk's around with people looking through files, and in the back by the window there is a desk with a big yellow Cat like man with a scar going down the left side of his face, Soren knew this guys name was Nekomamushi, one of the leaders of the Mink tribe. Mamushi saw Soren standing next to Carrot and thought that some pirate had swindled the airheaded Carrot, he then quickly got into a battle stance ready to fight Soren.
[Who are you and why are you here! Answer in 5 seconds or I will kill you where you stand]: mamushi
Soren couldn't stand threats, he then raised his hand towards Mamushi and it started to get covered in a Black lightning that gave off a yellow glow. Mamushi saw this and knew that nothing good would come from this pirate and quickly attacked towards Soren not giving Soren the chance to finish his attack.
[Take this you fuckin pirate!]: mamushi
Mamushi attacked Soren left and right covering his claws in Armament Haki while using Observation Haki to its limits hoping to see any gaps in Sorens defences. Soren was dodging all of Mamushi's attacks but by just a hair, soon Soren closed his eyes and started trying to feel where Mamushi would strike next, he also tried to feel where he would strike 3 turns from now. Mamushi saw Soren close his eyes and thought that the pirate before him was just giving up so he attacked faster and stronger to end the battle. Soon cut after cut began to form all over Soren's body, and due to all the torture from his childhood growing up he felt no pain from these attacks, and because he felt no pain Soren could put even more focus into training his Observation Haki to the next stage. As Mamushi's attacks got faster Soren also began to see more of the attacks, soon Soren was dodging before the attacks were thrown, he could now see 4 hits into the future and make corrections, Soren then thought to himself while he continued to dodge Mamushi's attacks.
'This is awesome… But this is still far from Future sight, but not too far… If I were to fight Katakuri I would still lose but I got everything I could from Mamushi… I guess it's time to explain myself': soren
Soren then stopped dodging and covered his hands in Armament Haki while grabbing Mamushi's hands, the battle stopped there and Soren started to speak while still holding Mamushi's hands to keep him from attacking. And after a couple of minutes Mamushi understood everything, he then stood up from the chair he occupied after Soren got half way through his story and gave Soren a 90° bow while apologising.
[I am truly sorry for attacking you with no context as to who you are or why you came here, I hope you can forgive my actions… Now can you tell me your reason for visiting us?]: mamushi
[Well… I already got it, I came to spar with you so I could improve my Observation Haki… You may not be a strong opponent, but you are the fastest one that I have faced]: soren
Mamushi was shocked for words, he couldn't help but be happy and sad at the same time for he was happy that he was the fastest that Soren had ever battled with, but sad that he was not stronger than others that he faced. Mamushi knew that he was neither the fastest nor the strongest in the New World but still had pride, and Soren just ruined it by saying those words.
[I'm happy that I could help… So where will you go now?]: mamushi
Siren thought about it for a moment before he spoke, and after thinking he then told Mamushi his plans for the future.
[I will start making my way back to Paradise to meet up with some friends, then I will do some fishing to pass the time… Maybe even kill some pirates who kill innocents]: soren
Mamushi was surprised to hear that Soren would rather pass time fishing and talking with friends than to rule over an Island or find the One Piece that was stated to be at the end of the New World.
[Well I hope to see you again in the future Soren... Your welcome here any time... Here, take this with you... It will help you get back here]: mamushi
Mamushi handed Soren a Vivre card that was linked to him and sent Soren off at the edge of town, Soren then went back to his ship that was deep into the forest, once he got back he informed Misha and Haku about his trip, he then covered the ship in Armament Haki once more and picked up the ship then flew off the Elephant back down to the sea below and started sailing back to Paradise.
[Onwards... Destination? Home!]: soren
