Ittai signaled for another shot even as he was in the process of setting down the now empty glass that was full of spiced rum only a few moments before. The pirate looked down at the bar in front of him where six shot glasses were already stacked with semi blurry eyes. While he did not usually like getting piss drunk, the occassion called for it, well, rather the lack of an occassion. He had been having trouble for the past few weeks recruiting for his 'organization' as well as getting the necessary funds to fund such an operation. Just this evening, the doctor was forced to kill a potential recruit when the guy decided that he would rather die than serve under a lunatic and a psychopath like the martial artist. Well, the Bilkan certainly obliged in that request. As much as it pained him to kill such a promising man, the man's insolence made it rather hard to allow him to leave alive from that encounter. After all, the exile did have a reputatio to uphold, mainly that if you did not join, you got killed. The pirate flexed his hand, the appendege slightly numb from the fight. The fucker just had to wear some leather armour underneath his shirt. The chef's attention got recalled to the current time as the bartender arrive with another shot.

Picking up the glass, the doctor surveyed the crowd around him in the bar, making sure to keep an eye out on his sword, which leaned against the wooden table and would probably leave a dent in it due to the weight. It wasn't that the martial artist worried about it being stolen, hell, there was probably not a single person here who could lift it let alone swing it successfully. No, it was more so that nobody messed around with it like pour alcohol on it or otherwise get it dirty. Sure it got its share of blood on it now and then, but that was different. Dirt from fights was different than the one from everyday life, less noble, less acceptable. Tilting back his head as he downed the shot, the exile winced as the skin cracked on his neck. While the alcohol did dull the pain sences, the sharp pain from newly opened wounds sometimes did manage to register, especially in such sensitive places as the neck. Placing the glass onto the table, Ittai waved for yet another shot. The pirate did not know how many shots his body could handle, but it was most certainly not at full capacity yet. The problem with being so intoxicated was that sometimes the chef said things that he never would have said otherwise.

Amid the hive of scum that occupied the bar there was one that seemed untainted by the world of villainy, hope in his eyes and a naive purity that emanated from him seeming distant from those around him even as he sat within their midst. Looking around awe and wonderment seemed to fill his gaze, as though just the sight of those around him was enough to invoke appreciation, his name was markus and he had grown up drunk on the tales of piracy legends, never wanting much other than to join their ranks, and whenever he got the chance he came down here to bathe in a few more of their stories.

It didn’t take long for the child to catch a glimse of the gargantuan weapon sat resting upon the tables edge as it steadily fractured under the weight and instantly his attention was captured scurrying over. ”That’s a pretty cool weapon mr, can you even swing that thing?”

Ittai looked around at a sound of a voice addressing him. Since the voice did not sound like the gruff voice of the bartender nor a sultry voice of a whore, the pirate was not entirely sure what to make of it. The heavy buzz of alcohol was certainly not helping matters. Now, he could and probably would be wrong, but the voice sounded very child like. The chef briefly wondered why would a child be in a place like this before dismissing it as rather inconsequential. Downing the shot and setting the glass down, the doctor looked around until he spotted a young kid standing by his chair with his eyes darting between the giant blade and the bandage covered face. It really was a wonder how innocent the child's eyes looked. He couldn't have been more than thirteen years old but he still retained the innocence. The exile couldn't help but snort at the thought for at the kid's age he had already killed people and was far from being innocent. Ah, the good old days. Returning his attention to the kid, Ittai wondered how he should answer. He considered just ignoring the kid before remembering that kids his age were very impresionable and he could certainly exploit that fact.

"Ye, I sure can, especially with the help of my devil fruit power." the chef said in a loud whisper, leaning closer to the kid's head. "You wanna know how I got my fruit? Of course you do." the doctor continued, his eyes somewhat glazed over as he began his story. "It all began…"

---------------Flashback-------------------

Ittai stood at attention in front of his father as the latter finished up writing a document. The chuunin had to conceously restrain himself from scratching at the base of his wings bones which had been gilded just a couple of days ago. While a regular child his age, which was 14, would fidget while waiting on their father, the teenager knew that his father, Kaze, had a large enough amount of work to do, he was a clan leader after all, without his son fidgiting and adding more distractions. Ittai knew that this meeting would be about another job, since the pain from the gilding had subsided enough for him to move freely. The question was what kind of job this would be. Given that he had performed admirably thus far, he expected that it was high time for him to get the next level of jobs. A smile spread on his face in anticipation as his father finally put down the pen.

Wonder and amazement simultaneously filled the boys expression at the words he heard, he’d met many pirates in this bar and every one had been amazing but this was only the second time he’d ever had the luck of meeting one with a devil fruit, the stuff of myth and legend, this was the coolest day ever. ”For real mr? you really have a devil fruit? Would you show me?” but it didn’t seem the man was interested in giving a practical demonstration instead offering to tell the story of how he’d come across it. If he was going to be a pirate getting a devil fruit was the greatest miracle he could hope for, if this story could give him any hints he’d have to soak up every word just incase.

”Sure mr, how’d you find it?”
and from there the story unfolded.

A solemn sigh came from the towering figure sat at his desk, the life of a leader was one of constant work how he longed for the days where combat was all he had, all he needed, living, breathing and feeding on life and death situations, now he felt like little more than a glorified paper pusher, but such was the burden of the one in charge.

”Ittai, it’s time for you to take care of a task that will mark you ascension to adult hood within the clan. If you are successful you will be acknowledged as a fully fledged member of our family and if not im sure you understand how severe the punishment will be. The underworld has got it’s hands on an item of great value, such that they themselves likely do not realize the caliber of it’s worth. I want you to retrieve it, I will give you a balance of up to 50 million to negotiate if what they are asking is beyond that then I will allow you to use your own judgment, but do not return empty handed.”
Despite the danger attached to the task the father showed not an inkling of concern for his son’s welfare, such perils were nothing to blink at in the path they traveled, if he could not even handle something like this how could he ever be entrusted the burden their lineage brought.

Ittai bowed deeply before straightening up and walking out of the room. Personally, he doubted that the mafias would sell the item for any price. If his father wanted it, the mafias would not care to give it to him no matter how much money he offered. Truth be told, the chuunin would much rather just sneak into wherever the fruit was being held and steal it, but he had to at least try his father's suggestion just in case. Plus, if it actually worked it would certainly lower the possibility of retaliation, but the probability of it working was very slim. Going to his room, the bilkan prepared for his mission. Since only the clan stripped their wings, his own wings would give away his connection way too soon and thus they would have to be hidden somehow. Perhaps a cloak or something. The problem was a matter of pride. A Saishuu would never hide who they were but sometimes times called for desperate meassures, especially if he wanted for the mission to be a success, which it woule have to be if he ever wanted to show his face around the compound ever again. Throwing an old tattered grey cloak, Ittai restocked on the throwing knives and made sure that his tanto were in proper order before leaving the building and heading towards the underground market.

First things first, the chuunin had to find out more about the item. Sure he knew that one of the mafias had it, but he did not exactly which one nor where it was kept nor how much were they were looking to sell it for, if they were going to sell it at all. Judging from how mucb his father wanted it, the bilkan did not doubt that either the item itself was powerful or it may it bestowed great power to its users. Either way, if the mafias realized what they had gotten their hands on then Ittai doubted that they would want to part with it peacefully. But that was something to consider at a later date when he had more information to work with. Pulling the hood of the cloak over his face, the chuunin ducked into an alleyway that led to the underground market. Emerging several moments later, the bilkan headed directly towards his target. Every black market had its share of people who had ears everywhere and knew everything that was happening. This market was no different. Noticing his target, a hobo-looking man lounging on a half broken chair, Ittai approached and leaned on the wall behind. "So I hear that the dons have gotten their hands on a new plaything." the chuunin said in a lower voice to make himself sound older. "Any rumors as to where it is being held or if it is even up for sale?" the bilkan asked, dropping a few crisp notes into the man's overturned hat on the ground in front of him.

”You have good ears kid, there’s been whispers they acquired themselves a devil fruit while that’s a treasure anyone can enjoy their operation isn’t so large they really need that kind of muscle but cash is something everyone can enjoy so they’ve decided on selling it.” with that he halted his words and looked down expectantly at the hat in front of him clearly indicating if he was to continue a top up would be required until the stranger eventually gave up tossing a few most bills in ”There is a warehouse down by the docks on pier 7, it’s been said that’s where they’re meeting the buyers. Though currently they’ve only been making offers to those they’re directly affiliated with, something of such value can bring a lot of trouble with it if the wrong ears get word” with that the man gave an almost knowing grin before dropping his head and returning to looking asleep.

Ittai sighed and muttered a few choice words to himself, too low for anyone but himself to hear, and dropped a few more bills into the waiting hat. As much as he hated to admit, he could not fault the man for wanting a few more bills before revealing any more information. After all, if you could do something very well, you never did it for free. Plus, the man did have a certain amount of job security, being one of, if not the only, informant whose information was any kind of useful. As such, the chuunin could do nothing about the man and his greedy nature without running into the problem of not having anyone to provide him with much needed information for future missions. "Pleasure doing business with you. the teenager said softly before heading in the direction of pier 7 as the informant returned to his fake sleep. As much as Ittai thought that the man was probably actually asleep, that was just poor business, especially when your job consisted of seeing and knowing everything that there was to see and know.

Wrapping his cloak tighter around himself, the chuunin silently drifted through the alleyways towards his destination, all the while coming up with at least one half-decent plan on how to get the mafias to sell the fruit to him. The main thing was to keep his identity hidden for long enough to purchase the fruit and get out of there. He doubted that they would him inside without seeing his face first, but then again, they might want to be discrete about the entire thing so that they would have plausible deniability later on. Either way, he would try to his cloak on for as long as possible. With a few more ideas churning in his mind, the teenager approached the main warehouse that serviced pier 7. As expected, there was at least one guard standing in front of the entrance, who looked rather bored. Putting one hand inside his cloak to grip a knife, Ittai neared the guard and began to walk past him to go inside.

A heavy hand clamped down on the young boys shoulder the taller of the two thugs peering down at him with grim appraisal in his eyes, “Password?” was all he uttered as the duster interlocking his fingers glinted in the moonlight, the only chance the stranger had at gaining entrance through non hostile means.

“I’m surprised you can even make such a shitty offer to us with a straight face, This is the Don Calzone cartel not some ragtag bunch of punks with weapons. You insult our name like this again and we’ll liquidate that family of yours” with that the sound of flesh being pummelled by kicks and blunt fists resumed once more while what had 20 minutes ago been yelps of pain were now nothing but dull grunts, followed by the sounds of footsteps approaching the door and a bloodied motionless lump being tossed out the doorway, flying over head and landing in the waters at their edge.

”Who the fuck is this?” a tall muscular gentleman with an almost luminescent bald head asked in a tone that dared those around him to even consider giving an insufficient answer when both lackeys failed to answer his question his attention turned for the smaller figure in front of him ”We’re pretty busy tonight so if I have to waste my time asking again im gonna get pissed, who, the fuck, are you?”

Ittai's eyes darted to the hand gripping his shoulder and responded by gripping the knife underneath his cloak even tighter. While he could definitely take on the man with no problem, the consequences of doing so would put the final nail in the coffin of getting the fruit without any blood shed. But what else could he do? The chuunin did not know what the password was. While he could certainly make an educated guess based on several factors, getting it wrong would be just as bad as not saying anything at all. As such, a different alternative to saying the password must be found and quickly for the teenager doubted that these guards had a lot of patience. The way he figured, he had maybe half a minute to come up with something useful. But what? Several moments passed in silence as an idea formed itself in the ninja's mind. No matter how loyal one was to their organization, everyone had a price for which they were willing to abandon their duty. For thugs such as thing, money was the most promising option. But how much would be enough to bride the two guards without significantly reducing the available funds for the fruit.

Fortunately, Ittai did not have to make that decision for as soon as he put his free hand into his coat to pull out some bills, his attention as well as the guards' was drawn to the noise coming from inside the building followed by a body flying through the now opened door and splashing into the waters beyond. The chuunin narrowed his eyes at the sight of the man who stepped out the building and addressed first the guards and then the himself. While his head was still covered with the hood, the man seemed to look directly into the teenager's eyes. It was a bit unnerving but the ninja quickly shook the feeling off. "I am but a simple customer, looking to perhaps acquire a certain object that you have for sale." Ittai replied calmly and politely, rotating his shoulder out of the guard's grip and taking out a stack of bills to show the bald man that he was a serious customer. "Now, if you wouldn't mind, I would like to make an offer for the item." the chuunin continued, a small smile spreading on his lips.

The bald man looked down at him in appraisal, it was currently an internal dilemma going on, did he kill the kid for what he’d stumbled onto or just let the punk go with a warning. They were supposed to only have meetings dealing with those the family knew and yet someone with the ability to find out about a deal like this on their own probably had the capabilities to be pretty good business………or unwanted trouble. ”Get lost kid, we aint got shit for you here. I see you again you ain’t gonna be leavin wit no teeth goddit?” His lips were curved in an intimidating sneer while muscles flexed just begging the stranger to defy his order.

Just how did the little shit know about this deal anyway, they’d not spoken a word of it outside the family and even there only a handful had been made privy. Aside from that there were the sealed invitations given to the client 8 hours before the meet given time only to think about their price and whether they would bid, this little bastard really had learned himself a little too much and too have the balls to simply walk up and take the prize, that was just a bit too cocky.

Ittai was faced with a dilemma as it appeared that the man was not going to allow him to enter the premises just like that, even when he showed that he was a serious customer ready to pay the desired price for the item in question. The chuunin really could not blame the man for being suspicious of what appeared to him a random stranger coming up to their place of business and demanding to be let in. From what the man and the informant said, it seemed like this was a private affair where only the select, invited few could attend. While it was understandable, that understanding did not make the mission any easier. Since showing the money to the man did not dissuade his decision, the teenager doubted that he could bribe the man to allow him in. And even if he could, it posed two problems. One, the bribe may be high enough to significantly detract from the allowed spending limit on the fruit. And two, even if he managed to bribe the man with enough money, who's to say that someone higher up would allow him to purchase the fruit.

Since the whole purchasing the fruit thing was falling apart by the moment, that left only the forceful requisition of the fruit as the possible alternative to completing the mission. Ittai was certain that he could take on the two guards and the man in front of him with no problem. The problem was that he had no idea what sort of opposition he would face inside. And another problem was that the chuunin was not 100% sure that the fruit was even in the warehouse itself. Sure the mafia was meeting the buyers in the warehouse, but that was no guarantee that the fruit itself was there. While it was probable that the fruit was there, it was no guarantee. And if the fruit was no there and the teenager decided to attack right here and now, the mafias would probably lock the fruit down and it would be that much harder to find and steal. So he had to get inside and find out if the fruit was actually there in the first.

There were two possible solutions, either sneak in or use his family name to intimidate the men to let him inside. Ittai was confident enough that his family had enough power to hold off any mafia that decided to assault them. Since everyone would figure out sooner or later that his family was the one who acquired the fruit, it did not matter when his identity was reveal. He had hoped to keep it secret, but his sneaking skills sucked compared to his fighting skills. As such, it would probably be better to use the influence of his name to find his way inside first. "My name is Ittai Saishuu, son of Kaze Saishuu, leader of the Saishuu clan and I suggest that you move out of the way and let me through unless you want to offend the Saishuu clan, which is something I would not advise doing." the chuunin said forcefully, throwing back his hood to reveal his face, his hand gripping the knife in case it came to a fight.

His gut had not led him wrong, this kid really was a problem. It wasn’t as though he knew the family personally but it was a name that few in the underworld had never heard, and danger was what they intertwined with best. A clan of assassins making their money from murder, and if repute was anything to go on they were skilled at it too, but even the underworld had boundaries and thinking he could simply drop a name to bend things to his will, he really was underestimating the family of don calzone, and a slight on the don was worse than a slight on himself, stories were just that nothing but stories, this punk would be dragged violently back down to reality.

”Little bastard, for just how long do you think you can ride daddy’s coat tails? It’s about time to learned just who you were talking too” despite his sureness that a game of Chinese whispers getting out of hand had given a helping hand to the reputation he was taking no chances, this little shit had to be crushed and he was going to ensure it happened, those saishuu bastards had to learn the limits of their influence. His arms reached back and slipped into his waistband knives their knuckle duster handles wrapped round clenched fists he bared teeth at the foe in front of him ”DON’T UNDERESTIMATE THE CALZONE FAMILY!!” his skin flared with a deep angry red as if rage leaked from every pore, a swift dart to the left before springing forward to swipe at the kids face from the right though he didn’t expect it to be that easy, springing off his pivot foot he took the kid’s back looking to finish him with a scissor strike from both knives.

A smile spread on Ittai's face at the man's words. It seemed like his decision to reveal his identity was not going to go as planned, but the chuunin did not mind much. He had intended to obtain the fruit through steel and blood instead of money and now he had a perfect excuse to do so. "I'm pretty sure I know who I'm talking to. Scum that is not even fit to be on the bottom of my shoe." the teenager calmly replied, his arm darting out from underneath his coat and sending the knife streaking through the air to thump into the nearest guard's throat blade first. Ittai paid little attention to the dying gurgles of the guard as he grabbed the latter and pulled the body in front of him to block the bald man's slash. It looked like the 'bouncer' knew what he was doing since he pivoted as soon as he had slashed at Ittai's face, aiming to slash at the chuunin's back. Putting his hands under his cloak, one grabbing another knife and the other grabbing a tanto.

One arm flashed out to send the knife deep into the second guard's eye while the other arm drew the tanto and placed it quickly between the bald man's two knives just in time to stop both of them from scissor striking the teenager's back. Turning his body, Ittai grasped the tanto with both hands to stop the man from advancing any further. It looked like the man possessed some sort of actual skill, unlike the other two guards. However, in the end it would matter little. Twisting the tanto suddenly to one side, along with the knives, the chuunin threw the man off balance and then proceeded to deliver a round house kick to the man's face, throwing him to the ground, the knives clattering on the cobblestones. "So far, I really don't think I underestimated the Calzone Family." Ittai said conversationally, making sure that the man was knocked out. Grabbing the collar of the man's shirt, the chuunin walked forward into the warehouse, dragging the unconscious body behind him.

Passing through the doors, the teenager was greeted by the lights that flooded the entire area inside the building. Apparently the mafia did not want to leave any shadows where someone could hide. Good thing Ittai decided to go through the front door. There was a group of people hanging around the center of the room, talking amongst themselves and apparently waiting for the next buyer. Stopping about 50 feet from the group, the chuunin dropped the body to the floor with a thump and announced loudly to the group. "So who do I need to talk to about making an offer on the devil fruit." Ittai said, surveying the group with a critical eye.

It had been a while since he’d got to feel the thrill of this sensation, the wind rushing across the contours of his domed scalp with aerodynamic efficiency as he went all out against his foe, he didn’t fight like this any more, didn’t need to fight like this any more, on an island where the territory of both marines and underworld were clearly defined and the reputation of families already established the age of ceaseless gang fighting and blood running through the streets had been traded for a stale peace , wild beasts had been left tame and stagnant, but not here, this was a fight where even in its opening moments a voice he’d not heard in quite some time spoke to him, telling him his life was on the line. He barely even noticed the final destination of the knife as it flew past him, acknowledging only that it was avoided, glee bubbling up from within as he saw the boy move to guard the feint a hole in his guard opened, it was all over here was where he would end it, punish the little shit for his impudence. But what his weapon hit did not resound in the clang of metal on metal but instead the soft dull squelch of a blade carving through flesh, he barely even gave himself time to register the fault in his actions, moving more on predestined instinct than actual active control darting around as originally planned but what happened next stopped even him in his tracks.

His blades met resistance, a solid unyielding resistance that try as he might he could not budge, looking down he saw a blade lodged between his two knives stopping them in their tracks, the boy lent just far enough forward to keep himself out of their range. He’d not met anyone who could stop his attacks in the last 5 years, and at the very least never this easily, though what came next shattered both intention and illusion a simple twist of the blade but with enough force to send him off balance only for a leg to then fly up swiftly afterwards catching him in the temple, as his consciousness faded to black and only the last remnants of thought were able to trail through his head he could manage only one, this life as hired muscle had left him growing stale, it was not the cocky brat that poorly estimated his own skill, it was him.

Turning to the sound of an entrant the don’s face creased in surprise when it was not his lumbering subordinate that entered but instead a small lithe childlike figure dragging the brute in toe, he gave an appraising eye while overlooking the situation before filling the room with an eruption of laughter, finding seemingly endless mirth in the man’s defeat. ”That’s some real spunk you got there kid, I like your zeal, alright I’ll bite, just what sorta offer ya got for me?”

Ittai smiled as the room erupted in laughter. It was a fake smile however. Even if he was a professional and accomplished killer, the chuunin was still a teenager and as such, he had some insecurities about himself. So when the don and then everyone else in the room began to laugh, he was not entirely sure if the people were laughing at him or the man he had defeated. It really could not have been anything else cause there was nothing else in the room to laugh about. However, unlike the other teenagers, Ittai knew how to keep a facade on his face even when someone was laughing at him. After all, if he was easily riled up in the field, there was no way that he could have survived for so long. Especially not in a job such as his. As such, the chuunin kept his fake smile plastered on his face until the very last vestiges of laughter receded from the air. Dusting off his hands, Ittai reached into his jacket and pulled out 30 million in bills, waving it in the air.

"My offer is 30 million. I think that is a fair offer." the chuunin said calmly, looking the Don directly in the eye. While the budget was 50 million, it was never a good idea off with the maximum amount. Most people liked to haggle over the price. It made them feel good about themselves and made them feel like the accomplished something. And it was important for people for feel like they accomplished something, like they won it. Or at least that's what his father said. Ittai personally never cared about stuff like that. All he knew was that the best place to start was somewhere more than half of the maximum amount. Plus if the mafia accepted the 30 million as the price, the rest just might find their way into his own pocket as an advance on his allowance. Not that he had ever wanted anything that his father could not get, but there were some purchases that the chuunin would much rather his father not find out about.
