iii. - [ VOICE ]
[There's a click, then a loud ignition. A few short puffs follow, then another click.] Despite the upset, it seems we're moving right along with establishing some sort of order for us foreigners. The Patrol Unit with the idea of a Task Force building off of it - it seems like a fine direction. However, with the added nightmares and the spotty transcriptions we've been receiving, it seems obvious that preparation is needed, in case a nasty storm is coming our way.
[Clip, clop. It seems he's walking around as he speaks.] Some of us have abilities, some of us do not. If the collective would feel comfortable, I would like to start gathering a database of sorts to help establish who can defend our small plot of existence in case things start to get dicey. If you wish to do it privately or have your name listed anonymously, I do not mind. It is custom to make people feel comfortable instead of singling them out. I will write a standard copy and keep it on my person - if the Task Force or Patrol Unit wants a record, I will make it as confidential as possible. Being a man with abilities myself, I understand keeping things personal.
[He pauses to puff on his cigar.] If we have not met, my name is Sir Crocodile. My former profession was one of the Shichibukai back on the Grand Line; we were sanctioned pirates by the World Government to help crack down on piracy and other atrocities across the four separate oceans that make up my world. [There's a soft chime - click, click, click, click. It sounds like metal gently wrapping against a hard surface.]
Other than that, any information on the dreams and the scriptures would be fine - I'm compiling a report in my spare time.
