(QUEST) UNKNOWN ENEMY: TAKE 'EM OUT

[GEKIGAMI]

I arrived at Thriller Bark on a quest, me and a buddy of mine were looking for someone who has been attacking just about anyone he, she sees. Terrifying, I know. But, I believed me and my bro had enough strength to take on the new force that was recently discovered. Before I left for Thriller Bark I asked around to find out where the unknown pirate or whatever he was ran off to, I heard from multiple sources he was at Thriller Bark so I went with my gut feeling and came here. Man, what a creepy place to hide at, I couldn't help but constantly look behind myself just in case someone tried to ambush me.

"Naga- you ready man? I wanna catch this fucker faster than later." I said, flashing him a look of anxiousness. I wondered where this man was, it was around eight o'clock in the afternoon, so it was relatively dark. But this was the perfect time to catch a killer, in the night sky! I honestly hadn't a clue of how he looked like, but I figured if he seen two pirates roaming around causing a ruckus he'd pop out and attempt to slay the both of us. My left eye catching a glimpse of a man just sitting on the floor, with a bottle in his hand, A DRUNKEN MIND SPEAKS A SOBER TRUTH, or something like that.

"Yo, go ask him if he seen, or knows anything about our guy." I edged him on, if he was drunk, and had any information, it might come blabbering right out I hoped.

He had come to this resort island seeking an murderer. What he found was almost like a paradise of white sand beaches and sparkling clear blue water. A calm quaint world where the rich and lucky came to live atop their thrones crafted from the skulls of the poor. Whatever was the case, he wasn't here to debate society or social standing. He was here to stop someone that was brutally massacring pirates and suspected pirates, and some people who were actually innocent civilians or travelers. And accompanying him was his new broski, Gekigami. Or Geki for short. Or what Nagataka felt like calling him at the time. He nodded in response to his companion, and approached the drunken man.

"You see anything strange around here lately, sir?"

Raising an eyebrow, he looked behind him, surveying Gekigama. Crossing his arms, he laughed slightly. "Yeah, two fuckers asking broad ass questions." How the hell was he supposed to answer that. See anything? Hell yeah, he saw shit everyday, it was Thriller Bark. Walking away, a man located on a nearby bench with a newspaper coughed slightly. "What you guys need?" He couldn't help but laugh slightly at the two. They show up and ask questions like that? The man had an idea why they were here.

A laugh developed while I heard the man's response to my friend's question, he was definitely a funny individual. He didn't seem like the type of person who would lie, and be a dickhead, so I decided to approach him and ask him in full detail what we actually needed. It was worth a try, because for now we didn't have shit on the guy we needed to find. "Well, we're looking for a man whose been going around killing, and or fucking with pirates, marines, everyone actually." I said, before clearing my throat. "We were wondering if you knew anything about him? I heard he was staying on this island actually, I hope I wasn't deceived."

I couldn't help but bite my tongue as I waited for his response, this was the only lead we had as of now— and by the looks of it, I didn't see anyone else outside at this time. This island was like a desert, no one really liked being out here during the dark, and truthfully I was getting the creeps to. It felt like someone was watching me this entire time, I didn't like it one bit. If it wasn't for my confidence in my abilities, then I'm not too sure that I'd be here trying to find this motherfucker who probably has a whole crew stationed somewhere waiting for us. Or maybe I was just thinking too much, optimism is the way to go, not negativity.

Nagataka shook his head at the man's blatant disrespect. Damn, these outsiders. Most were like this. It was sad. And yet, they had a few redeeming qualities, like the man who offered them information after the other's rudeness. He would approach the man alongside his companion, and cast the departing rude man from his thoughts. Hopefully this other man would truly help them in their quest for the assailant. This island was dark, depressing, and not worth their time, except for perhaps the man's bounty. They'd be getting quite the cash for this one.

He is quite the trouble maker around these parts, but I'm afraid I can't help you. Why not head on over to the local pub and ask around? I know the ragged flagon and the cherry blossom both have some beef with the guy." He figured they would split up and do some research. "Good luck guys." He went back to reading his paper, he gave what he had. The two taverns were on separate parts of town, and if they stayed together they would prolong their advance by quite a bit. In the center of the town was a nice, cheap hotel they could crash at for the night or use as a base of operations. With Behemoth names though, they would get the hotel free of charge.

"Alright thanks." I said, as I took in all the information the kind man gave me. Looking back to my partner, I gave him a look that signified "let's go" and I walked away from the old man. I began walking in the direction of the Ragged Flagon, which is where I was going to go. Halting, and turning back to Naga, I'd begin to speak. "Alright, you want to split up? Get information from each Pub, and meet back up at the hotel not so far from here? I'm sure we'd be able to room for free because of you." I said, signifying that he was quite the feared man around these parts, just whispering his name would get people to cower in fear.

I thought this was a smart idea myself, why waste time going together to these pubs? I felt that both of us could handle ourselves perfectly well, and if we were met with any danger, I'm sure we'd be able to fight it off quite easily. However, if my partner disagreed with the idea then I wouldn't mind him accompanying me towards the Ragged Flagon, then followed by going to The Cherry Blossom. Whatever he wanted really.

He would smile lightly and bow to the man, thanking him for his help. He then caught eyes with his companion, viewing and returning the nod of acknowledgement before turning to walk with him. He paused as his partner spoke to him, and nodded once again. "Alright, you want to split up? Get information from each Pub, and meet back up at the hotel not so far from here? I'm sure we'd be able to room for free because of you."

"Splitting up would be the best idea, to save time and energy. I'll go the Cherry Blossom."

Besides, they probably wouldn't encounter many, if any, problems. And Nagataka trust his own abilities, and the fact that his new found friend, Gekigami, was on the Behemoth crew was enough to have him trust his abilities in combat as well. They'd be safe. And with that, he would embark at a steady pace towards the Cherry Blossom, where he hoped he would fine a fine establishment, not a dingy dive, and some information.

"Alright, meet back here as soon as you're done." I confirmed, and left in the direction of the Ragged Flagon. I truthfully knew nothing about Thriller Bark, this entire area creeped me the fuck out, but fortunately they did have signs which pointed me in the right direction. No matter how scary this place looked, it was tourist friendly. This entire area was just too creepy for me, I swear I felt someone staring at me for the longest time until I arrived at the Pub. That feeling had be check behind me so many times, that I considered myself a pussy by the end of the walk.

As I noticed a building in front of me with a sign that said "The Ragged Flagon" I knew I was at the right place, and I made my way inside the pub. Upon entering the unfamiliar place, I got stared down by so many people, mostly because they didn't like seeing people they didn't know. However, I had my right hand on the hilt of my blade just in case some drunken asshole wanted to start a fight. I made my way through the drunken crowd towards the bartender, the only one that I thought would know anything about the situation that I was currently in.

"Excuse me." I said, clearing my throat to get his attention. Moving my head closer to his, I began to whisper. "Do you know any information on a pirate that has been running amok lately? I heard from someone that ya'll have a beef with him, I'm here to take his head, so if you have any information, I'd appreciate that."

When Gekigami voiced his confirmation, Nagataka nodded, departing in his own direction. His destination was the Cherry Blossam. With any luck, the establishment would fit it's fine name, and be a nice place for him to enjoy himself at while searching for the information he and his partner were seeking. He could really use a nice hot tea, or person a glass of sake. But he didn't get his hopes up. This "island", he guessed you could call it, was a big shady ship, filled with all sorts of mean characters. Not many "little" people started crap in this area, but it wasn't a place of big movers and shakers like the Grand Line and other places were. He was going to be honest, this place was a little bit scary, but in another way, he wasn't afraid. He trusted his own abilities, and therefore believed he had nothing to fear while walking these streets. He also believed that no one would try and start anything with him, on account of him being uniquely dressed and armed with a killer blade.

He noticed the building hanging the sign labelled "The Cherry Blossom", and walked in that general direction. Upon enterring the establishment, he was surprised to see that indeed, it was a "higher end" shop. It was clean, well lit, and had nice decor. He was a bit taken aback, but still happy about this. he approached the tender of the place.

"I'd like a small cup of green tea, please. You also might be able to give me some answers that I seek. Someone's been going wild around here, killing people. Can you point me in their direction? A friend of mine and I are seeking him out."
