Djazz followed the specter of a man up stairs to a second floor. From here one could look over once of many banisters and see the courtyard bellow; many guests hard already arrived and were mingling as servers wandered about with them handing out drinks and small snacks. Earlier, the specter was a bit odd in his appearance seeing as though he worse a mask and was shrouded in his cloaks, but here amidst a number of similarly masked and mysterious individuals, he was right at home! In his Butler outfit, there was no way anyone would think he was anything less than a servant here. Somewhat embarrassed by this idea, he reminded himself that he was here for a job and nothing more. Surely no one would judge him based on his appearance... right?

"Odd, I wouldn't imagine the outfit of a butler for a body guard, but I suppose it will have to do..." the specter said as he opened a door at the end of the hanging hall way. There, he immediately picked out the man who was most likely the treasure hunter. His large, flamboyant red mane of hair, wrapping around into a beard. There were many others in the room, most likely other works. The room was also filled with many things that he could only call 'exotic'; huge translucent tubes filled with mysterious liquid and god knows what suspended in it, taxidermied and petrified animals, entire suits of amour and weapon on display. Had all of this been set up here as decoration just for this event?

"Ahh, There you are! The subordinate of the warlord has graces us with his presence!" The man said, getting up and walking towards the both of them, "I hear you are to be my body guard... is this true?" He said.

"Lord Tavin hmm? Yeah... that was the job description."

"It is what I asked for. Someone capable. I'll make it no secret, I deal in large sums of money. When some men see such wealth they are willing to go to great lengths to try and take it for their own..." While it was evident that the man was of money, it's not like he made any attempts to be humble or modest by throwing elaborate parties or keeping what amounted to a small museum with him where ever he went. Djazz was also surprised to not that the man who was seemingly a civilian carried a sword at his back as well; perhaps it was just for show...

"Got it, anything stand out that I should know..?" He said, trying to gather at least a little information.

"Yes indeed. Here is an itinerary for the next forty-eight hours." He said, handing Djazz a piece of paper. Apparently this party of his went on for two days, what with the actual treasure hunting being the event. However, Djazz was taken by surprise, "Two days? I was said this was just to be a job for the night."

"Perhaps it was framed that way. Tell me, what is it that the subordinate of a warlord would have with my affairs. Perhaps he thought it a well off opportunity to seek some immediate funds and sent a lacky here to infiltrate my party and hold me at ransom?" The man implied. He had good reason to be skeptical, after all why would he trust Djazz at all? Either way it was slightly comedic considering Izuru would rather up and do something himself than send and errand boy. The idea of being called a 'subordinate' repeatedly was starting to get on Djazz's nerves.

"I'm not interested in your money or possession. I've taken some time away from the Frostbite crew to settle some matters before we go to the Grandline. If anything, I'm here to take advantage of your hospitality and entertainment.

And how does a man such as yourself end up floating in the sea with a bunch of marines? I realize you are the dogs of the world government, but I still imagined pirates of any nature would bump heads with the authority... He said with a smirk.

Djazz sigh before responding Call it an unlucky streak. I've nothing against the marines, nor the world government, and the crimes that give me my meager bounty are hardly what you would call 'privateering'. I am no genuine pirate. Besides, haven't half the marine force flocked here for a night's pay?" He said. The red mane nodded with a grin, "Aye, that they have. There is no one that cannot be bought these days, including the law itself! But I trust them far more than you, dear pirate. However, the marine captain was very enthusiastic in how he expressed his liking of you. For a pirate to have won the favor of a man of justice, well either you are quite the sociopath or are truly harmless... either way, you'll do fine for this evening. We'll discuss the subsequent hours. The man said, nodding as though some formality for 'goodbye' before waltzing off to some other business. Djazz was still a bit confused having been given no strict or concrete idea of what his job was to be or what was expected of him. The specter that stood at his side provided further information.

"Simply mingle amongst guests and take care of any problems should they arrive. Position yourself closets to the stage when the events take place for matters of crowd control. None should enter the stage unannounced." he said, before slinking off himself. What was his about people here!? They just show up, talk and leave to do other things. He was even left unattended in a place that he originally needed some escort to get to. Standing around awkwardly, he scanned over the itinerary. The night included a formal dance, an auction and many other smaller attractions that were to be on the stage; juggling, fencing, etc., They had really gone all out for the 'renaissance' feel of the festivities huh?

On that note, Djazz pocketed the piece of paper and cautiously returned down stairs. In the short time the number of guests nearly doubled on the first floor. Was this whom he was to 'mingle' with. Inhaling courage and exhaling awkwardness, he went about pretending that he fit in this scene somewhere; Djazz "the masked butler".

Oddly enough, this was one of the rare occasions where the story went off without a hitch. Djazz wandered about using observational haki to keep tabs on some individuals and was time and time again confused for a waiter, but ultimately that was it. The party went just fine, no crazy attackers, no villains looking to crash the party, no rich masked treasure hunters with ill intent. Djazz began to wonder if perhaps there was something he was missing here, as not often did something play out so... quietly. But instead of creating problems for himself, Djazz decided to accept this outcome. Thankfully he would have a warm bed and plenty of food to eat. He could live in luxury for a night while the ship would be fixed and he would be back headed towards the Frostbite pirates within the next day. Perhaps this reprieve was a stroke of luck from Tyche herself. The blade had been extra ordinarily nice to him recently and he didn't much know what to make of it. Perhaps this small reprieve was really the calm before the storm; no doubt what awaited him back with the Frostbite pirates was filled with all the crazy, out of control adventure he had become accustom to.

The only thing that lingered in his mind was the young woman swordsman who went by the name "Dragon Warrior". She didn't appear at the party; most likely stopped at the gate and upon figuring out she wasn't allowed to bring weapons in, left all together. Part of him worried still about her safety, and reflected on the clash that they had earlier that day. A woman covered in scars, intent on not dying but throwing herself at the blades of enemies in the name of revenge. It was only a matter of time until that caught up with her in a much more permanent way... But in this vast sea, Djazz would find it irresponsible to get hung up on the fate of a single individual. If it was meant to be, he would hear her name again. If not, time would allow it to simply slip into his memories and remain there in the back of his mind.

Party over, he was assigned a place to stay within the mansion. Greatful, he settled in and closed his eyes for the night, "Tomorrow is another day... This too shall pass..." he said, a small mantra to remind himself that no matter the state of the day, good or bad, he would have to get up and do it all again the next, "Goodnight Tyche."

When Djazz awoke, he would awaken to find a singular young man dressed in a black business suit in the room waiting for him. ".. Don't make a fuss." He stated simply as the light of the rising sun flickered off his glasses as he slowly raised a single file, ".. Your captain is going to die if you do not assist him. Go to the docks, and speak to the man in the red cap and blue shirt. Tell him the word 'Phoenix' and he will get you a speedboat that will take you strait to your Captain using specific channels. In return, Do not speak of this to your captain. All information on whom is going to kill your Captain is in this folder .. I suggest you study it. Closesly." He stated this all in a calm, cold, almost uncaring tone as he placed the folder on the desk next to the man- before he would calmly walk out of the room. Disappearing nearly instantly.

The folder held the following Information ...

Phoenix Blood Hunters
