We walked through the streets of the city together and Oliver, Coni, Bibi and Terra wanted to see the festival stands that were set up along the way, so I gave each of them 20,000 Belly so that they could all have a nice day together.
Wallace didn't want to leave them alone in the city and accompanied the children. Meanwhile me, Lenny, Cornelius and Dafne searched in the side streets of the city for the bar. After about 30 minutes we found what we were looking for and entered the bar Gold Roger, which was in a very run down part of the city.
An old man with black round glasses sat at a table drinking a glass of whiskey while he had a skull on the table in front of him.
Dia: Hello, old man! We would all like to have something to drink!
Raoul: Wouldn't you rather go to one of those newly opened fancy bars around here? Only old pirates who have something up their sleeves and don't shy away from danger come here, and you don't seem like them to me.
Dia: What? But that sounds pretty much like us, so give us your best whiskey and some snacks to munch on, old man!
Lenny: I imagined the bar differently, but I like it, it has something old-fashioned about it.
We sat down at a table and Lenny put his sack on the floor and Raoul brought us our drinks.
Raoul: So you're pirates? Do you just want to control the East Blue like the others or do you have something up your sleeve and are you looking forward for bigger adventures?
Dafne: Our captain wants to sail with us to the Grand Line tomorrow.
Cornelius: Our captain Dia has a lot on her plate. I think we'll get along well there.
Ahhh, your fusel is really good! Bring me another glas!
Raoul: So you all want to go to the Grand Line and not spend your life as small-time crooks in the East Blue, that's something you rarely hear these days. There are only wimps here with no dreams, your next round is free because I like you!
Dia: Thank you, old man, we will conquer all the seas and I will become the strongest women in the world.
Raoul: What is your current bounty, do you even have one yet?
Dia: 20,000,000 Berry, but there will probably be a few more zeros added in the next few years.
Raoul: Such a big bounty? But why haven't I heard of you before?
Dafne: Our bounty was just announced this morning, so you probably haven't read the newspaper yet.
Raoul: So you are new to pirate business?
Dia: Yes, but people will get to know our name soon enough.
Raoul then noticed that the sack next to us was moving and asked: "Why is the sack moving?"
Lenny: That's some pirate who messed with us at the harbor, the captain will take care of him later.
Dia: Do any of you actually want his devil fruit?
Lenny: Nope, thanks.
Dafne: I don't see any advantage in becoming a monkey.
Dia: Then I'll put the devil fruit in my store's catalog later if none of you want it.
Lenny: What kind of shop is this, you've mentioned it so many times but we haven't seen it yet?
Dia: I sell all kinds of products there and also trade special goods upon request. I will place my stores in each city we travel to and connect them all to my captain's cabin.
Cornelius: But how do you replenish your inventory and what if the Navy finds your stores?
Dia: They can't do anything, my shops are protected with a barrier and keep the navy and the world government out. So they can't even enter my shops and I replenish my goods from the ship. For special requests there is a notebook that sends me a message when someone writes in it.
Dafne: And how does it all work?
Dia: I am a ninja and can use fuinjutsu.
Everyone got stars in their eyes.
Raoul: You're a ninja? Can I have an autograph?
Crew: Whhhhhaaattt, you're a ninja?
Dia: What's up with you all? I thought you had already noticed that?
Dafne: That's so crazy, our captain is a ninja, when the others hear about it, they wil freak out.
Cornelius: Why didn't you mention this earlier to us?
Lenny: Now I understand why you're so strong.
Dafne: Show us a jutsu! Nin, Nin.
I made a hand sign and created a shadow clone next to me who threw shurikens at the heads of the wanted posters on the wall.
Raoul: Now there are two of you, how does that work? That's incredible!
Dia: I control my chakra and shape its effect with a hand sign, the one next to me is a shadow clone, he can do everything I can do, but when he gets hurt he dissolves in a cloud of smoke and gives me his memories.
Lenny: That's really awesome!
I canceled the clone and everyone couldn't help but be amazed about it.
Dia: I still need to put one of my shops here, can you recommend a good place for it, old Man?
Raoul: You can use my shop for that, if you want to? You said you can lock out the Navy, I won't miss an opportunity like that.
Dia: You wouldn't have a problem with that?
Raoul: No, this smoke guy comes here all the time and scares away my customers, so don't force yourself and improve my shop, my name is Raoul by the way.
I pulled a scroll from my breasts and placed it on the ground. And what followed was a loud, poof!
Fuinjutsu writings appeared and I placed them at the entrance, then I went to a corner of the room and placed my business name, the catalog and a trading box, as well as the special request notebook.
Raoul: And how does it all work?
I explained to him how it worked and he chose one of my beers from the catalog and entered its number into the trading box and the amount to be paid appeared on it, then he put his money in it and in the next moment the other box opened and his beer was in it.
Raoul: That's crazy, how much beer is in your stock?
Dia: My stock is hidden underground in my homeland and is quite large. I would say I have around 10,000 bottles of beer in stock and I replenish the stock every day with my devil fruit.
Raoul: And this paper at the entrance prevents the navy from coming into my shop?
Dia: Yes, and no one can touch it except me.
Raoul got Belly notes in front of his eyes and his drool started running.
Raoul: Today everything you drink is on the house!
Crew: Yay! Let us drink.
Meanwhile by Jack on the other side of town.
Jack was sitting in a brothel on the outskirts of town with two voluptuous ladies in his arms.
Jack: And then the monkey bit me and ran away, but I later made him jump over the plank and placed an anchor on his legs so that he would never see the light of day again.
Doris: You are so brave and strong, that monkey sounds so dangerous.
Violeta: I can't even imagine having a three meter tall skeleton monkey in front of me, I would have fainted straight away.
Jack: Yes, he was a dangerous beast. Bring more alcohol, you lousy bar stallion!
Bartender: Wouldn't you rather pay your current bill first, you big pirate that no one has ever heard of?
Jack stood up and searched his vest pockets for money, barely able to stand.
Jack: It looks like I've been robbed. I'll be right back and bring you your change. See you soon ladies.
Jack ran out of the store, but the bartender chased after him with a machete.
Bartender: Shit, someone hold the thief!
Jack kept running and ran into a young lady who was wearing glasses and had blue hair. She carried a sword in her right hand and fell to the ground with Jack.
Jack: I'm very sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you, young lady.
Lady: That's okay, I wasn't really paying attention.
Jack helped the woman stand up and was grabbed by the collar the next moment.
Bartender: Now I've got you, you stinkin thief.
Jack: Can you please put your machete away, I said I just wanted to go get my money quickly. Here!
Jack gave the man a wallet and said, "Do I seem like a thief to you? I'm a man of my word."
Bartender: Well, I'll let you go this time, but don't show up in my bar again.
The bartender took the money out of the wallet and spat on Jack's shoes, then turned around and left.
Woman: What wanted the man from you?
Jack: I still had to pay something, he thought I was a thief and wanted to get his hands on my leatherneck.
Woman: Excuse me, but why is your body so transparent?
Jack looked down at his body and was shocked.
Jack: I'm afraid I have to leave you now.
Jack ran away towards the ship before his time ran out.
The woman looked down and saw her wallet lying there. She opened it, but it was empty.
Woman: This man paid with my money...so he's a thief after all. Damn, if the captain finds out that a man robbed my money before my eyes, I'll have to go back to his training. I should try to find the man without Captain Smoker finding out about it.
Meanwhile with the children and Wallace.
Wallace: Oliver, get off that roof!
Oliver: But the girls are mean to me?!
All three whistled at Wallace looked at away from him.
Wallace: What did the three of them do?
Oliver: They stole my cotton candy, so I'm not coming down until I eat all of my cotton candy empty!
Wallace looked at all three and rolled his eyes.
Wallace: Fine, but turn into a human, you're attracting too much attention with your looks!
Coni: Sorry, we promise we won't do that again, Oliver!
Oliver: Well, you could have just asked me, I would have shared with you.
Oliver climbed down and Bibi ate the remaining cotton candy from Oliver's hand in one big bite.
Oliver: Why did you do that?
Bibi: Nam, Nam, never trust another pirate.
Wallace and the others nodded in understanding to the statement.
Oliver: But we're a crew, why shouldn't I trust you?
Bibi: You saw that I ate your cotton candy? When it comes to sweets, I would betray my own sister for it. We've never had anything sweet before, so what do you expect from us?
Terra: Exactly, we were only ever given rotten bread and water as slaves, so don't come between our needs.
Oliver: I didn't know that, but then why don't you just get your own cotton candy, you also got money and why did Coni bite off a piece from it, she lived with me?
Bibi: You're a boy and you have to give us girls gifts because we're pretty!
Wallace: (This is such twisted logic, I better stay out of it before I have to give tributes to the girls too.)
Coni narrowed her eyes at Wallace and frowned.
Wallace: I'm a priest, you all have to give to me tributes for God and since I would have to give you something too, let's just say we're quit... so don't look at me like that Coni.
Coni: All right, but we'll keep an eye on you, Wallace.
Terra: Apparently a priest can make excuses anywhere, especially if he's a thief.
A man with slicked-back gray hair suddenly stood behind them and knocked Wallace to the ground with a jitte. The man was muscular and had two cigars in his mouth and was wearing a white jacket with cigars tied around the sleeves and a blue jeans with brown boots
Oliver: Let Wallace go, you asshole! Why are you doing that to him?
Man: My name is Captain Smoker and I'm from the Navy and this guy here is a wanted pirate!
Wallace: So you're from the Navy? But I don't care.
Smoker: Is your captain in town too, or are just the wanted slaves here with you?
Terra got scared and tried to stab Smoker in his head with a dagger, but the dagger just went through his head as it did transform into smoke.
Smoker: I assume you're all from the bloody diamonds pirate crew?
Oliver turned into a chameleon and shot his tongue at Smoker, but it flew through Smoker too. As Oliver tried to withdraw his tongue, Smoker grabbed it with his other hand and pulled Oliver over him, slamming him into the ground like a whip. Oliver was unconscious and Coni ran to him and started crying while trying to cover the bleeding on his head.
Wallace: You pig, I'll pay you back for this!
Wallace reached for his dagger in his robe and turned back time to its maximum. He looked around and saw Oliver climbing onto the roof of the house.
Wallace: We have to get out of here, kids! A Marine Captain will be here soon and our attacks won't harm him!
Everyone looked at Wallace in panic and nodded.
Wallace: Let's go to the others, Dia can surely protect us from him!
Terra: What will happen to Oliver?
Wallace: Oliver doesn't have a bounty on his head and if we call him, we'll get the attention of the Smoke Man, so we'll pick him up later.
The four ran off and Oliver was now alone on the roof and didn't see any of them on the ground anymore.
Oliver: Where did everyone suddenly go?
