Progress

When I first met Hawkeyes Mihawk, the man cut Don Krieg's massive galleon in two without even standing up, with just the force of the air split by his strike. He wasn't even trying. That day I learned how big the world really was

(...Could there be a sword to rival my own?)

[ishikawa_juusan]

You must direct me to this "Hawkeyes Mihawk". If he is as disciplined as you say, I mean to examine his technique.

[strayswordsman]

He sails around the Grand Line in a little coffin ship, so good luck finding him. And no one's beating him before I do.

...Who are you, again?

[ishikawa_juusan]

I am Ishikawa Goemon, thirteenth of my line.

. . .

And who would you be?

[strayswordsman]

Roronoa Zoro...1st of my line, heh.

Unless you count indirect succession of a dojo's sword...fuck, how does this line thing work, anyway?

[ishikawa_juusan]

Mn.

This man you are after, what do you know of the blade he wields?

[strayswordsman]

Hnn...The Black Sword Kokutou Yoru, one of the 12 Saijou Ou Wazamono, and the strongest blade in the world. It's taller than he is, counting the hilt.

...She's a beautiful thing.

[ishikawa_juusan]

...The strongest blade? [size=8]Is it possible...?[/size]

Then I have no choice but to challenge his sword; Zantetsuken will not rest until the truth is revealed.

[ishikawa_juusan]

((Blagh, my HTML skills, or lack thereof, are laughable. :/ Sorry.))

[doubleppk]

Idiot. Don't you ever get sick of all this "strongest" crap?

[ishikawa_juusan]

...Neither man nor woman, as yourself, would understand the nature of Zantetsuken! I will waste no words!

[doubleppk]

Yeah yeah same old yarn. You never change.

Lupin's not with you is he?

[ishikawa_juusan]

No; he is not.

...Should he be?

[doubleppk]

Hn. Hell if I know. I haven't seen him around lately and usually you're tagging behind him. Figured it was worth a shot.

What are you up to anyway?

[ishikawa_juusan]

...I believe you have mistaken me for Jigen.

I have not heard from him much less seen him in a month, at the least; I have been convalescing. I expected you to know best... as you so often have him wrapped around your little finger.

ooc: strikethroughs ARE readable yes

[doubleppk]

Guns, swords, the only major difference is that he wears hats and smokes that horrible brand of cigarettes.

You flatter me. But a month is more recent than I've seen him.
Got in another fight then? Is he Are you okay?

Re: ooc: strikethroughs ARE readable yes

[ishikawa_juusan]

There was no violent ambush. It... was an incident. I am... fine. *ahem*
I hope the same can be said of Lupin.

I imagine we shall hear from Lupin soon.
