Nakashima listened to Jack as the man spoke. Nodding, it made sense for them to stay together, at least, more sense than staying on this sea alone. Nakashima was rather certain he could trust Jack, he didn't know how to explain it, but when they crossed swords, it was almost as if he could feel the type of person Jack was. While completely and utterly crazy, he decided to go with it. Perhaps im turning into Annabeth.. shuddering at that though, he faced jack, and nodded.

"It does indeed make sense..." He pondered the man's offer a few more seconds, as they both continued towards their destination. "I accept. It'll be a welcome change from my time in North Blue." Nakashima chuckled a bit, feeling much better then he had in a long, long time. Nakashima started thinking then, about his own ways of combat. There was so much he could do, with the knowledge he had gained over his years in Wano, he simply lacked the true strength to be capable of doing it. He needed to train far more, and Jack seemed to be someone whom he could accomplish that with.

They turned a corner, and saw one building, slightly bigger than most. Following Jack in, it didn't take long for them to find a 'General Surgeon' within the building's many rooms. Remembering his new-found currency, from trading in his old sheath, he offered one of the tubes of paint to the surgeon, and simply motioned to Himself and Jack. Looking back and forth between the two, the surgeon sighed, and motioned them back.

"Both of you sit in here, I only have one room so you'll have to take turns."

Nakashima complied, walking into the small room, and looking out the window momentarily, before sitting down. Perhaps he could still salvage his own dream... Nakashima frowned a bit, as the discomfort and pain from his wounds was finally starting to kick in. Offering the operating table to Jack first though, he was in relatively worse shape. While his opponent had escaped with less damage, he had been losing more blood. Nakashima simply sat against a wall, and applied pressure to his own wounds while he watched.

Nakashima watched the doctor come in, rolling a small table full of steel tools in front of him. Giving the man time to setup, he waited a few minutes, and then spoke."Tell me, Housenpark, what do you know about some would-be pirates terrorizing tourists here?"

Having refused to trade his waistband earlier, Jack did not have anything to pay with, and it had also slipped his mind that he actually needed something other than beli for that. Damned stupid colorless island. he exclaimed silently when Nakashima essentially paid for his treatment. He would have preferred to put a sword to the doctor's throat and have him treat him without pay, but the paint had already been fronted, so he swallowed his pride and laid down to get himself patched up. He also couldn't deny that a doctor willing to help him would be preferable to one who was forced into it. He would have to repay his new friend later though. That he must.

Since Nakashima went straight to the point with the doctor, Jack didn't speak for a while, preferring to listen to what the doctor had to say.

"I am not the best to ask these questions of. You thinking that you can find information about pirates in a doctor's office wasn't completely off base, and I will not deny that I treat some of them when they come, since you're both no ordinary citizens, but I stay here, and they come to me. I don't go look for them."

Jack wondered if this man had seen his bounty poster or if he just decided to assume they weren't on the good side of the law because they were injured. It didn't really matter though, this was just the thing to give Jack an excuse to draw his blade. Just as he moved his hand instinctively though, he got a glance of the progress the doctor made on sewing his main wound, and decided he'd let him finish patching them up first, since he was so quick of finger. He decided to occupy his time with talking instead. "I don't believe you." he said, in a sharp voice, and he thought he detected just a hint of hesitation in the doctor's needle right then.

"If you had denied that pirates come here, I would have probably accepted that, since we're not that famous, but you admitted that you treat them from time to time, so I don't find you saying that they've never needed your services at home to be very plausible."

The doctor's hands started trembling, before he said: "There isn't only one crew on this island."

"Alright, relax. Finish your work first, then we'll talk." It seemed like the man wouldn't do his job properly if he was under too much pressure.

After he finished, Jack hopped off the bed in one jump. Dr Housenpark looked like he was about to protest, but choked on his own words right then. Jack wondered if he was cared of him or of the consequences of the information he'll inevitably have to reveal to him later.

Calm watched the two stop fighting as nakashima was saying something about him knowing when he was beaten "At Least some people realize when they're beaten. But at least now you should know not to challenge just anyone in the grand line." . He then turned raine and the magical rainbow that was mae to see mae bowing raine with a look of understanding that she was rather screwed and began smiling like there was no danger which scared him with him thinking "Damn how many situations do you have to be in to get like that." with raine soon after talking about fighting which seemed like a usual occurance looking at mae.


For the first time he heard mae say something as she said “Well, in case you hadn’t noticed, colour is a big part of our lives. Mind if we tag along? I’ve got a tightness in my shoulders that only bloody punching can solve” as calm just said "Sure i don't care whether you two come along or not and i doubt they care." . Soon jack came over saying it was a good fight to nakashima and talking about how they will need a doctor first as calm responded "That’s for damn sure both of you got fucked up in that fight aka why i didn't join.” after hearing that they'll meet him after they finish with the doctor calm turned to mae and raine asking "Well then where do you wanna go on the island? I can help you since i know where most of the stuff is without knowing where things are that town is a hell maze."

Finally the one called Jack spoke, who offered a spar between himself and Raine when he was healed up, which was an entertaining prospect. Sure, she wasn’t a fan of getting cut, but he didn’t look all that tough, and she did feel like hitting someone. With the injuries he’d rather stupidly acquired though she’d have to wait quite a while, so those thieves that had been mentioned sure sounded like a much better option for now. But who knew, maybe she’d see him again after that time, and in which case she sure as hell would enjoy a scrap.

“Sounds good to me”

However, he decided it’d be best to continue talking, which was a very stupid idea on his behalf. Upon hearing both her and specifically Mae being called such cringey words… Oh yes, she was going to smack him hard when she got a chance, and she was pretty sure if he said another stupid thing he was going to be receiving much worse injuries than he currently had. Sword wounds were nothing when compared to what she’d happily do to him. Speaking through her gritted teeth, she said:

“Sure, we’ll have a look about too”

A moment later Calm spoke up again, pointing out that he could probably find them anything they really needed. Thinking for a moment, Raine slung her pack off of her back, opening up her bag and pulling out a small metal flask. Unscrewing the cap she took a sip, which confirmed her original thoughts, she was nearly out of drink.

“I’ll be taking you up on that then. Show us where we can get a drink around here, just a simple bottle will do. And some smokes whilst you’re at it”

She couldn’t be bothered with a bar right now, preferring him to show her to somewhere such as a general convenience store or something. She didn’t know if he’d catch on to what she meant though, although it wasn’t like she’d listened to everything he said, ignoring one or two comments for his sake. What was it with people trying to make her aggro everywhere she went though… She didn’t want to break everyone’s noses… Well, actually she did, but not in a Jeremiah sadistic way, more of a revenge for being arseholes way.

“Find us a store basically, and then we’ll have a look for clues whilst there”

Calm listened to raine as she said “I’ll be taking you up on that then. Show us where we can get a drink around here, just a simple bottle will do. And some smokes whilst you’re at it” as calm just responded with "Sure there's a few good places on this island surprisingly." going towards the towns as calm looked at the familiar signs from earlier with a few blacksmith shops, clothes shops, and bars passed by calm mostly ignored them until he found a big convenience store as he yawned walking in.

Going towards a aisle which said alcohol with a large array from fancy wines to your generic and off brand beers he yawned showing them the ile then walking towards a area with a bunch of cigarettes which seemed rather strange to calm since he kind of doubted you could have gotten any on this island but he wasn't about to start smoking them since it would just become a bad habit.

Walking back to the alcohol aisle he picked out 3 bottles of Ketsuraku Rice Wine one of them being in a weird golden package separate from the rest but thats not what surprised calm what surprised him was that his favorite brand of alcohol wasn’t rare in the grand line which had him internally jumping for joy but also kind of of surprised him since he didn’t think it would be able to get all the way out into the grand line but it seemed that someone was trading it all the way out in the grand line. Calm noted that for the future because he would have to find this person and buy it directly from him since that specific brand was his bad habit or addiction people would say.

He looked at all the other weird brands a few having people's faces but hey at least they were getting some money from it but calm soon fixed his thinking as he thought "Hold up how are they making money off of this if they're paying with paint do they somehow trade it backwards?" He would have to figure out how that worked before he got off this island because he could maybe make a lot of money off this island if it was extremely profitable. But disregarding that calm walked out of the aisle looking into the rest seeing a bunch of packaging and stuff he had not seen on his home island but i guess that’s what living on one island and then being stuck in a dangerous forest for 3 years gets you.

Walking towards the store clerk he bought his items grabbing a weird looking bobble head that had a clown with a big red nose a tattoo of skull bones which formed an X and some blue tattoos calm decided to buy it since it looked rather funny the head bobbling all the way when calm was walking out of the store and sat outside waiting for the two girls that he had a suspicion that they were sisters but disregarding that he opened a bottle and just waited outside for the two bright haired girls.

Eventually, Raine realised that everything around her looked the same. The shops looked the same as the housing, and everything was even the same colour, which was extremely boring in her eyes, and a complete design flaw on so many levels. She shrugged that off though, as her guide apparently knew his way around rather well, and led the couple towards where they wanted to go, not taking long to locate them a convenience store of sorts. Nodding to him in appreciation she began looking about.

Following Calm a little longer, until he got the to the alcohol section, Raine began to inspect the drink. She didn’t feel like trying anything new, she just wanted something strong, and the usual to fill her flask. Browsing through, she studied the names and brands, trying to look out for anything in particular that she knew well. Spotting some Drum whisky, she picked up two bottles, and then decided to be a little adventurous with a bottle of basic rum, followed by some fruit cider which she could share with Mae if she wanted any. With the four bottles in hand, she headed off to find the cigarettes.

Eventually she spotted Calm again, apparently confused by the wide variety that they had here. Although a different layout to what she was used to in shops, she was used to the general messiness people had in the Grandline, and quickly spotted a white pack with a blue top, her usual. Picking up a few packs she added them to the pile she was creating in her left arm, as she walked off to find other stuff. She’d got what she came here for, but something to eat would be worth her time, and then they’d grab their supplies later.

After a little bit longer of looking around, eventually the two arrived at the front of the shop, dumping down the four bottles of drink, the three packs of smokes, and a pack of spicy crisps. They’d spent time looking around but had found nothing of interest. Dumping two canisters of paint onto the table, the cashier looked them over for a moment before nodding his head and moving their stuff along. Shoving all but the pack of crisps and one of the bottles of whisky into her bag, she walked out of the shop.

“Want some?”

After opening the pack of crisps, she tilted it towards Mae who simply shook her head. It was unlikely that she would have actually taken them in the first place, she didn’t like spicy food that much and these were pretty strong too, which you could tell from the smell. She took a small handful and began eating, frowning a little bit from their strength but then shrugging it off and having another loud. Reluctantly she tilted it towards Calm who was sat nearby, offering him some crisps if he wanted some, wondering if he’d be able to take the heat.

“Alright, let’s find these thieves then”

With that, she unscrewed her bottle of drink and took a swig straight from the bottle. With her remaining crisps she simply pouring them into her mouth and then washed them down with some more drink, which although wasn’t the nicest, would do for now. After another few mouthfuls of the drink, she pulled out her flask and emptied the alcohol into it, throwing away the crisp packet and the bottle once she was done with them, and pocketed her flask.

Nakashima watched with interest as Jack was treated. his wounds weren't deep, and therefore didn't take long. Nakashima pulled off the bloody sheet that Jack had been on, and waited for the doctor to replace it. Lying down himself, he thought it would hurt far more than it did when the doctor set to work. It seemed that his wounds were almost numb, though he didn't think much about it. It only took a few minutes for him to get patched up also, his shoulder wound taking the longest, considering Nakashima had made it far worse in a desperate attempt to beat Jack. Smiling, despite the desperation of the move, it worked by all means and purposes. If he had a proper lengthened Katana it would have been an impressive follow-up.

He sat there, analyzing the fight mentally in order to improve himself. He was so in his own mind, that it took the Doctor a few seconds to get his attention after he finished. "Oh. Sorry." Nakashima muttered, irritation flaring up inside him. It didn't take long for the Doctor's nervousness to return. Nakashima moved between him and the door to ensure that he woldn't get any bright ideas. However, only seconds later, the man from the docks rushed into the building, perhaps out of luck.



15 Minutes Earlier
The man of the shack had certainly seen some interesting folk today, though he didn't pay it much mind. They usually got some pretty eccentric folk in these parts, pirates with delusions of grandeur, or marines who think they'll replace Panikku. It was quite a joke honestly, and the man had long since been growing tired of watching these children come and go.

Looking towards the sky, he saw the seagull whom updated him with News Coo papers, and recent bounties to keep an eye out for. Scrolling through the News Coo, he mainly watched for any new developments in the war. He saw something big happened to an island in the blues, and a few pirates had the blame placed on them, with corresponding bounties. Murder of marines, blah blah blah. Placing the paper aside, he moved onto new bounties and flicked through them quickly. It was by chance he noticed the bounty of one of the men he had seen today.

His eyes widening, he realized people were in danger, and quickly rushed into town looking for the swordsman




"Housenpark! Be careful he's a pirate with an 80-" The man cut himself short as soon as he saw them. Nakashima was himself unaware of the bounty spike, though wasn't that surprised. Passing a glance at Jack, essentially saying to keep Housenpark in place, Nakashima turned and rushed the newcomer. Catching up to the out of shape man was easy, and Nakashima was upon him before he even reached the door out.

Dragging him back into the room with the doctor, he tossed him into the room, and re-took his place between them and the door. Ripping the paper from the man's hands, he saw his new bounty, and whistled lowly, surprising even himself. 81 Million.... Holy shit...

Nakashima returned his attention to Housenpark, and drew his rapier. "Answers doctor, now."

Jack felt great after the wound in his stomach was patched up. Though the ache did not disappear, it felt as though a huge weight which was dragging his body from the abdomen down was lifted. And the constant feint stab of pain running down his leg was also relieved. He sat in the corner of the room, and grabbed a small alcohol vial and some cloth. Now that he himself was fine, and could keep about the rest of the day without worry, it was time to clean his swords. He set about his task, dipping a different part of the cloth piece in alcohol each time so as not to ruin the substance.

When he was finished, the white piece of weaved cotton had become a mess of bleached wet crimson, but Kaiyo and Yugure were shining bright.

When the doctor was finished with Nakashima and turned to see the swords out of their sheathes, Jack noticed that he grew fearful again. He couldn't help but grin. "Seeing me like this, I'm sure you're thinking that I probably don't want to have to clean them up again today, and you're right. But that will not slow me down, I will clean them up again if I have to use them, only difference is that I will take great pleasure in hurting the man who will make me do it twice in one day." That was a complete lie, he loved taking care of his blades, but the doctor only needed to know that which will make him cooperate.

Just when Housenpark was about to start speaking, they were interrupted by a man bursting into the room. If Jack wasn't mistaken, this was the man Nakashima was threatening in the dock-side of town, before the two of them were acquainted. He yelled something about the number 80, which Jack did not quite understand, but Nakashima seemed to understand and dragged him inside.

Jack stopped speaking all together, to see how this will unfold. He had long ago learned that speaking when one doesn't understand the situation could make it very difficult for one to get what one wants.

Somehow, it was the new man who spoke, instead of the doctor, who was probably ever more fearful now that there was a witness to his potential betrayal of the local pirates. "What do you want to know?" he said.

Jack took it upon himself to formulate the question, now that he found someone ready to cooperate: "We simply want to know where to find the Color Thief Pirates, or however the band which steals colorful clothes in these parts is called."

Jack would not know it yet, given that he didn't read the newspaper in Nakashima's hands yet, but it was that bounty which drove the man to speak so clearly so quickly. He was simply more afraid of Nakashima than he was of anyone else on this island. "I do not know, and neither does the doctor, I swear. But I do know who you should be looking for, and the general area where you should be looking. Not too long ago, there were three bands which stole colors for a living around these parts, each choosing to live in a certain area. Until a man came who beat them all and united them. The name of that man is Colorless Gus. It's said that he used to be just a no name living in Turpintown before he decided to become a pirate. No one knows exactly where he is now, but some say they are in the colorless catacombs, and some say they dug their own caves under the town."

Jack nodded, and asked: "Who were the leaders of the other bands?"

"There is Nimble Garret, he used to be working around the docks a lot. There is Buster Craster, he used to work in town. And there is Bruno Blythe, he was in town too."

"There we have it, Let's go." Jack declared, he was relieved he didn't have to mutilate the doctor who helped him. That would have left a bitter taste in his mouth.

On their way out, he put his hand out to Nakashima so he would give him the newspaper. He disliked not understanding what was happening around him, so he decided to find out what it is that amazed everyone in that paper. Once he was able to see it, his jaw dropped: "How did you manage to get this high a bounty?" though after a moment he realized it was all written there. "You attacked a marine base? You're crazier than I pegged you out to be man."

Sitting outside the store while drinking some wine before he heard the door opening turning to his left to see the two bright haired girls walk out with raine eating a bag of chips that had multiple words entailing they were rather spicy chips after a few minutes of drinking rice wine he was offered some chips that he noticed her companion decided not to eat so he took it as a small challenge and he ate some not bothered by the heat as some would be.

Looking behind him he saw raine drinking some alcohol from her bottle and then pouring it into a canteen which looked to be made of silver or some other metal and asked her "Why wouldn’t you just trade that in for some paint you could most likely make some paint off of it at the blacksmith shop?" He soon went onto thinking of what to do to find the Color Capture Crew then remembered the cave and said screw it even though it might be risky but who knows it might be fun to see the start of a war between normal citizens and criminals.

Standing up with half of his bottle gone he yawned as he heard raine say “Alright, let’s find these thieves then” behind him as he turned around “Hm i would suggest looking inside the caves because i saw some weapons made out of bug parts." Leaving towards the colorless catacombs he noticed a few people going into the cave with torches with one short man standing at the front of the group and seemingly somehow controlling the bugs to not attack. "Want to report this or go attack?" assuming he already had his answer considering her earlier sayings about punching something he went into the cave sneaking behind the group until he got to the large entrance to the ring that he saw before made out of stones that looked lazily made.

Disregarding that he was interested in how the short man who seemingly looked like he had no special abilities or combat abilities was controlling the bugs he would have at least expected it to be someone who could beat the bugs rather than a short man. "It looks like their going into the room with weapons that i saw before." glad he didn’t have to talk to himself anymore he waited and watched the group as he could see them slightly through the entrance to what he considered the weapons room but he still wondered how strong they would be considering the fact they could most likely buy normal weapons with how much money they get off the clothes they steal.

Shame, she’d expected the man to freak out over the heat, although she supposed the first crisp over every packet always seemed the hottest. Stretching her arms out a little bit, Raine looked about for a moment, before hearing Calm ask her about the canteen, which caused her to instinctively put her hand to her pocket and hold it close.

“And then where do I keep my drink?”

She sneered a little bit, before relaxing and placing her hand on the strap of her backpack. She was in danger of looking a little bit nerdy, but to be fair if anyone actually tried pointing that out they’d end up losing a leg or something. Hearing a comment about caves she raised an eyebrow, thinking for a moment. That was right, he’d mentioned bugs before which had intrigued her. She had no qualms about beating up the local wildlife, although she was a little concerned Mae would freak out at them, as some things she just really didn’t like.

“To the caves it is”

The walk took less time than expected, and soon the small band of them had arrived at the entrance to the cave, where a bunch of individuals were making their way inside. Having not seen any of the bugs yet, Raine was naturally rather unphased, however as she approached Mae quickly attached herself to her arm.

“Are you sure it’s safe in there?”

The redhead chortled to herself a little bit, finding it entertaining that her partner showed little to no fear when fighting a massive experiment gone wrong, but as soon as it got to a couple of bugs that she hadn’t even seen yet, she was scared out of her skin. Still, having predicted it she felt rather proud in the fact that she knew her so well, and nodded in response before merely walking inside.

The trio began trailing the people with torches, sneaking around without much difficulty. Weird, it always felt like Raine had to do the sneaking, yet she was really built for the fighting. She was getting good at this really. Looking around however gave her a few chills, as the small light created by the torch began to illuminate weird creatures, lurking in the background, whilst throwing eerie shadows up the walls. Normally it didn’t bother her, but if what their tall friend had said earlier was true, she didn’t feel like losing her head, not in the literal sense anyway.

Soon the group arrived at an entrance of sorts, light illuminating this room a little bit better which hinted it was rather small, as the small opposing group moved around and talked between themselves. It was hard to make anything out, and so Raine merely walked closer, not too bothered if she was spotted. Thankfully for her, as she poked her head in, nobody was looking her way, and so she could really take a look around. The walls were lined with weird weapons by the looks of it, with carapace looking shields, mantis like scythes, and unknown creature swords and blunt hammer type weapons. She’d never seen body parts used as weapons before, ever from animals, so it all just felt a little odd. Opening her guitar case, she drew her weapon as she glared at the small group. They seemed engrossed in something else and it wouldn’t be too hard to simply club them right now…

She had no reason to though, these may not have been the crooks, and although it’d have been satisfying to beat them up, if they were just some defenceless kids messing about she didn’t want to be for blame. Something caught her eye though as she looked around, that being a colourful tee, draping out of one of their bags that they’d just thrown on the floor. That was enough evidence for her surely? Yeah, she’d roll with that.

Making her presence known with a battle cry of sorts, the redhead charged into the cave, raising her guitar as she rushed the closest opponent and clubbed them round the head. With little time to react, the man simply went down unconscious with no challenge at all. The next man seemed a little more ready though, as he dived to grab one of the hammer type weapons off of the wall. She grimaced as she remembered the rough injury she’d picked up on Swiftbreeze from a blunt weapon, but didn’t hold back, already angered by their actions and their willingness to hurt her.

“YOU’RE GONNA BE MORE DEAD THAN THESE BUGS WHEN I’M DONE WITH YOU!”

Little did Raine know, her shout did in fact echo round the caves, making her presence known to the usually peaceful bugs, any other person in the caves, and even some people outside most likely. If these caves had natural air vents near the town, chances were people there would hear her too. Her screams of anger did seem to put off her opponents, suddenly rather unsure whether they wanted to fight the crazy, angry looking redhead or not. They hadn’t even spotted the rainbow haired archer at the doorway yet, but sure enough she had her harp and arrows aimed at them as covering fire for her partner.

Nakashima sat to the side silently while the others in the room spoke. The swordsman still wasn't keen on believing these blubbering idiots, though it seemed Jack was. Making a mental note to ensure they died when he finally decided to ransack this shithole of an island, he smiled to himself. Listening to the name's of the leaders, and the fact that all three used to be from town, led Nakashima to some interesting thoughts. The Coloroless Catacombs must have been those caves he had discovered earlier... Nodding, he turned to leave with Jack while the man brought up his bounty.

Nakashima, having just heard the news of his exaggerated bounty himself, reached for the paper and read through the article. No where was Annabeth mentioned, nor even hinted at. Irritation sprung upon his face as realization dawned upon him. Annabeth had gotten all she wanted, and managed to avoid any blame from the world government, instead squaring the blame solely on himself and Sylvia...

Answering Jack, Nakashima wasn't entirely sure how much of the truth to tell. "It was a rash decision, that I didn't have much say in." Nakashima decided upon a wording that left things vague enough that if there was a falling out between the two, the man wouldn't know an incredible amount of information about the events. Nakashima wasn't quite sure why, but he felt it a very bad idea to inform anyone of Annabeth's involvement.

Looking towards the sky when the pair arrived outside, Nakashima knew which direction the catacombs were in, thanks to a general sense of direction, and his being there earlier. Pointing a finger in the general direction, he told Jack what he thought and awaited the man's decision, letting him lead.

"Eh... You don't want to tell me the details? It's alright, I won't pry, I've had my fair share of problems with marines myself." he responded, equally vaguely. In truth, to this day, Jack hadn't actually done anything worth calling a crime besides stealing. He had beaten a marine officer once, but even though that was the source of his bounty, and no matter what that coward said, the fight was a consensual duel. He had stolen his swords, though the way he thought of it, they chose him over the bastard who framed his master. But he had stolen his ship too, and that definitely counted enough for him to start thinking of himself as an outlaw, even if it wasn't as outrageous as Nakashima's feat. He wondered how much exactly of this feat was his doing though, since he saw a woman named Sylvia blamed for the same crime. Somehow, this news excited him for the fight to come. There was something primal in the way he grinned to himself at that moment. The lust for blood was upon him, and he would have to satiate it soon. This Colorless Gus person seemed like just the man to serve that purpose, he was thinking.

Walking in the direction Nakashima pointed at, Jack came upon a smithy by coincidence. There couldn't have come a better coincidence, the way he saw it. "I'll just be a moment." he told his new companion as he walked into the store.

"Helloooo." he yelled, "Anyone here?"

Out came a man in a dirty apron, followed by a wave of heat coming out of the door he came through. "How may I help you." said the short, thick shouldered man.

Jack removed Kaiyo, along with its sheath from his waistband, and put it on the counter, unsheathing all the shattered pieces of the sword, big and small and laying them next to each other.

"I see. I see. Do you need a sword to use in the meantime?"

Jack smiled and nodded. "You would do that? It would be very appreciated indeed." He didn't expect the man to offer him such a service, but accepted it graciously nonetheless.

"Your sword will be ready tomorrow. But I warn you, The colors will not be the same. We have white metal here."

That slipped Jack's mind. If the metal is too different, then the sword will be too different for him to consider it the same sword, and it won't match Yugure. He shrugged, it wasn't time to be picky, and earning enough paint to pay this guy was enough of a hassle, there was no way he would be able to afford buying a new matching pair of swords.Waiting till the next island was also out of the question, given the volatile nature of the grand line. It would mean missed opportunities at the least, and being put in some sort of severe situation at worst. "Alright, I don't mind, but try to make it sturdier."

After receiving the new temporary all-white sword, which felt much lighter, and was probably of lesser quality, Jack thanked the smith and left.

Arriving at the entrance of the Catacombs, Jack heard a yell inside, which sounded like the voice of a woman. He thought it was rather familiar, though he couldn't entirely place it, which could possibly mean it belonged to the only woman he had a conversation with today. "Maybe Calm and those two women are already in there. Let's go in."

Sighing as he followed raine as she went towards the cave opening to the weapons room he watched as she stuck her head out looking at all the weapons which calm wasn’t surprised at her reaction considering his first reaction in his mind although he didn’t show it as outwardly as her until she pulled out her guitar which he assumed she used as a weapon strange but it would most likely work. He watched her hesitate and start focusing on their surroundings like she was looking for something but didn’t know what she was looking for until a few seconds later.

Surprised as she noticed a colorful t-shirt but that wasn't what he was surprised about it was the fact that she she started running at them while yelling and holding her guitar above her head in a manner that made her look like a barbarian more than a woman,but he guessed she used that colorful t-shirt as her reason for attacking since her hesitation instantly disappeared and calm began laughing as he watched her start beating them with her guitar "ah this is a good scene to watch." deciding to not fight he just stood watching while laughing slightly at all of their expressions whenever they would get hit.

But sure enough a few seconds later a person with a staff of sorts with a horned beetle horn on the end that formed a V shape attacked him but calm decided to dodge more interested in the staff as he grabbed it and then kicked the man back until he rushed at him using the V shape of the horns to wrap it around his neck and throw him at the wall "Thank you for showing me such a useful weapon I won't kill you now, Well that’s if your neck isn't broken."

Deciding to join the fight he stabbed two of them with the horns and flipped them over his body smashing them down on the tops of their head which if it kill them it sure as hell hurt. He chuckled looking over at raine and her sister as her sister aimed a few shots in a specific region "Right in the babymaker. That’s pretty cruel" with the man soon dropping to the floor in pain.

Although he had imagined some teamwork between the two bright haired females he didn’t expect so much teamwork as it looked like mae was covering her reckless sisters flaws and blind spots and wondered how much they had really gone through together to get to that point, after all you don’t just gain teamwork and skills to compliment each other in a short time hell he would be surprised if some people could do it within just a few months.

Raine would have screamed at Calm to come and help her fight if it weren’t for the fact that as soon as she was going to a man jumped him with a stave, who he easily pushed off and returned the favour. She had little time to be thinking about that now though, as she had to deal with the hammer wielding man in front of her. Thankfully she had some backup, as she watched an arrow soar through the air, planting itself in the man’s neck. He staggered slightly and dropped his weapon, but didn’t go down. However, after a rage fuelled strike from her guitar and a sickening crack, he did.

There were only one or two people left now, one of which had attempted to charge the redhead, but had soon found a brightly coloured arrow in his calf, slowing him down and distracting him. A moment later he was tackled to the ground, and then brutally pummelled by the angry woman’s fists, which rained down on him till the point of unconsciousness, all the while she screamed in seething anger. The last man remaining in the cave stood in the corner, fear in his eyes with what he’d gotten himself in to, and that’s when she spotted him.

Poor man, didn’t stand a chance really. One moment he’d been stood in the corner, the next he’d had his head slammed into the wall consecutively, and then been literally launched straight back towards the cave entrance, landing face first at the opening. Raine could make out some stirring somewhere else in the caves, which she suspected would be the bugs becoming agitated. As she dropped down to the ground and began taking out her remaining rage using her fists on an already unconscious thief, her logical thinking began to return.

“Is it me… Or did the shorty escape somehow?”

Her breathing was heavy, but her punches were slowing up as she was tiring and her rage subsiding. After another few moments she managed to shakily rise to her feet, leaving the bloodied mess of a man below her, feeling a little bit guilty for that one. She hadn’t even received a scratch excluding on her fists from these guys, and she’d ended up tearing them to shreds anyway. Oh well, they did deserve is after all. Looking around, it began to dawn on her that the man that she was sure had escaped had probably made a break for it, either deeper into the caves for most likely another exit, or…

Rushing out of the room as she heard footsteps, the redhead gripped her guitar and got ready to strike, before noticing the two men from earlier. What were their names again? Oh it didn’t matter for now, niceties weren’t a major as of now.

“See a short guy running past here?”

She ignored the bloodied man that she’d thrown at the cave entrance, as well as the fact that her hands were bloodied by now. She hadn’t paid much attention to who Calm had dealt with, so it was possible that her target was within his body count, but a brief scan had proven false earlier. A moment later Mae appeared from the room, clinging to her partners arm closely as she strung her harp over her back again and fastened her quiver a little bit.

Coming out of his half asleep mental state which he usually went into when he fought as he only gave half a damn about it and just found it easier to focus less even if it might cause more mistakes in the future but he didn’t really care much about that as is. Hell why should he have cared it’s not like he’s fighting anyone important so why should he even care?

Looking towards raine and her sister he noticed neither of them looked damaged except for on raines fists but that would be easily treatable so he yawned and heard raine say “Is it me… Or did the shorty escape somehow?” with him finishing his yawn early to say "Look’s like it, He will most likely go for other associates to attack us or the village early." walking towards all the men as he said that he started stripping them down for all form of color even down to their underwear if need be since it was still money on this island,quite a few of them had bright colors orange and purple noticeably showing up more on them but hey what did you expect from a bunch of thieves. Finishing up checking the men for color and collecting all the ties as he heard nakashima had lost his earlier he turned to the two sisters with mae hugging raines arm while fastening her harp and quiver which had noticeably less arrows in it but disregarding that he said "I suggest we split up for now you get the two others and check if the short man ran that way while i go further into the cave."

Going further into the cave with a torch he held onto the makeshift staff that was made out of beetle horns and other bug parts since it would most likely help more than his other stuff for holding off bugs and enemies and help him blend in. He walked further into the dark cave for around 10 minutes before he noticed talking and looked to see people who looked lazily dressed in whatever colors they could find trying to ride what looked like giant cockroaches which only confirmed some of his suspicions. He agreed with them in the fact that they would be a great force to have but the taming process didn’t seem worth the trouble and except for small events like when he first went into the cave they looked mostly docile so it wouldn’t be worth the trouble to make them aggressive without endangering themselves. Deciding to leave the cave as it would be impossible to attack looking at the forces which included strong looking weapons all diverse from each other as they were made from bug parts and even if the short man was there he wouldn’t be strong enough to just walk in and attack,noticing his torch starting to go out he lighted the staff noticing it light very easily which is something he would have to remember the next time he came in here.He started walking out of the cave as he yawned and saw sunlight a short time later.
