"Oi! Captain!" It's Jack Sparrow, pelting toward the other pirate through the village. He seems to have procured a sword from someplace, and is hatless.

[zehahaha]

"There ya are!" Teach doesn't seem to mind how rushed Jack seems to be; then again, he rarely seems to mind anything. "Glad ya could make it! So, are ya ready to go?"

[lists_to_port]

"Aye, I am--but---see, I've been talkin' with...someone...and I've got to---we can't harm the children, savvy?"

[zehahaha]

Teach raises an eyebrow at that, but waits for an explanation before he reacts. "Why not?"

Vash has been spending the past few days mostly at home lately. Seeing as the last time he ventured out and was struck by a sleeping spell he woke up with deer guts on his face. However, now there was a different reason he was staying home.

He had been expecting the intrusion. Been expecting it, but hoping to be wrong. He's sitting calmly on his couch, leg propped lazily over his knee, glasses on his face, and a frown of disappointment on his face when his door comes crashing in. He taps his gun against his leg with a sigh. He doesn't want to have to use it, hoping more that it will be a good deterrent for you guys to just leave.

"Jack..." Nope, that's all he can say, so he just shakes his head sadly.

[zehahaha]

"Zehahaha! All right, don't move a muscle, an' I won't have ta kick yer ass!" Teach stomps into the room, looking for anything valuable while keeping an eye on the red-coated stranger sitting on the couch. He may look stupid, but he isn't going to let himself get hurt needlessly because he doesn't consider someone a threat. After all, that's what got his former captain killed by Teach himself.

[I won't be able to respond any more until tomorrow; sorry.]

Jack enters after his captain, moving with much lighter steps. Vash's house; his palm had tightened on the sword hilt when Blackbeard had singled it out for attack.

"Best you don't move a muscle, Vash-lad," he echoes his captain coolly. He draws his pistol in his other hand and keeps his eyes focused on the gunslinger. "Better this don't get too messy, savvy?"

[goldenglasses]

"Aw, come on guys. Can't we talk about this?" He smiles and gestures with his free hand towards the donuts sitting on the coffee table. "I have donuts! What do you say?"

At some point in all you guys' pillaging, you're going to run into a Luffy. However, he's not just sitting in a house waiting for you to barge in. Instead, on your way to your next place of pillaging, he's going to be just standing there. Purposely in the way of your path with his arms crossed. Oh, and he doesn't look all too pleased either.

"Having fun, bastards?"

[zehahaha]

"Yep, I sure am! I haven't done this since Drum Island, an' that was a couple o' months before I came here! It's good to get back to my roots once in a while!" Blackbeard cracks his neck before leering down at the rubberman. "Now get outta my way!"

[lists_to_port]

"Aye, this is sort of bracing, if you ask me. Fresh air; loot--well, rather pointless loot, but loot being loot I don't turn my nose up at it, aye? And what might you be doing out this fine day, my good sir?"

Jack is somewhat behind Blackbeard's right shoulder. His sword has not been drawn yet, or his pistol. He smiles at Luffy in an ingratiating manner.

[gomugomunopwn]

"I'm not going anywhere!" He said as he stood firmly. He didn't exactly feel like having a battle right now. I mean, they had only just gotten back from their little camping trip. And he especially didn't want to fight over something he felt was kind of pointless. But he couldn't deny that these two guys were gonna cause people a lot of trouble with their pillaging. He wasn't sure about Jack, but Blackbeard could definitely cause some property damage if someone got up in his face about it.

"Are you guys idiots? You act like you want someone to come kick your ass!"

Saleh is sitting at his desk, counting his blessings. He has a lot on his mind, but mainly the fear of losing a friend. So he's writing in his journal a list of people and things he enjoys in Luceti in an attempt to avoid despair.

[lists_to_port]

Jack Sparrow kicks down the door to Saleh's apartment, before quickly leaping inside and pressing his back to the wall. He really wasn't expecting anyone to be at home. In fact, he didn't even know that this was Saleh's home, or he might have thought twice about being lectured without mercy.

"OH. Oh. Erm. Hello, Sage."

[zehahaha]

Blackbeard walks into the room, banging his head on the frame of the door as he does so. Most doors are not built for people who are eleven feet tall, after all. Ducking slightly, he manages to squeeze his bulk through the door and gets into the room.

"What's the matter? Do ya know this guy?"

[mountain_sage]

Startled as the door to his room was suddenly kicked down, Saleh whirled to his feet, grabbing his Thunder tome. For all he knew, it could have been those armored things coming to kidnap him again. He relaxed a little as he recognized Jack, but the larger, more menacing man appeared threatening enough for him to keep his tome ready.

"Jack...? What is the meaning of this?"

Smoker is busy setting a pirate trap. Which mostly consists of a bunch of rum seemingly out in the open on a picnic blanket. In fact, after it's taken absolutely nothing happens, because Smoker's just waiting for pirates in particular and patiently stacking rocks on a rooftop. Yes, stacking rocks. Because marines are boring and that's what they do for fun. Or something.

In general, his ears are perked to any screams he can go running to if need be, but he's got faith that pirates will ever be predictable little idiots.

He does regret the possible loss of rum though. After all, that's his favorite drink too.

lol pirate trap

Jack is just leaving Smoker's house. It was both a good thing and a disappointing thing that no one had been home. Jack knows that in a fight against Smoker he'd very likely wake up the next day in lockdown with fewer teeth and a date with a gallows, so he is especially glad to have gotten away with so much loot from the marine's place.

Then he spots the rum.

"Rum? Rum's good. Pirate picnic?"

With a glance to the left and right, Sparrow approaches the tempting treat.

"Bother. How will I carry it? Or should we just drink it here?"

[zehahaha]

Thinking about it for a bit, Blackbeard shrugs. "Oh, what the hell? We could use a bit of a break! Plus, it'd be a bit o' a hassle ta carry it around with us! We might wind up droppin' some, after all!" Walking forward, he steps onto the blanket in order to grab the rum.

[justicereigns]

Excellent, it seemed the supposedly favorite treat of Blackbeard's (cherry pie according to Smoker's sources) would be unnecessary. Clearly, rum was the ultimate trap for any pirates that weren't in the Straw-Hat crew. And maybe even including Roronoa. Smoker jumped down from the rooftop, helped a little by cheating with some moku moku no mi. Even with the so-called power cap, using that much was nothing for the logia user. He quietly stalked over and instantly leveled the seastone tip of his jitte at Blackbeard's head. Most people would consider that suicide, that someone who had killed a Whitebeard commander and then managed to kill the strongest man in the world should really just be smacked, not threatened, but was Smoker was nothing if not cocky.

"It goes without saying," he growled, "But you idiots are under arrest." Where to keep them was a question for another day. If only he had seastone handcuffs...
