Thread: One Piece: Exploring The New World (LadyAthene & Silverknight)

Captain Tashigi A groan echoed in her head as Tashigi was given a new nickname. ... At least they fit you. Still though ... It was the principle that bothered her. She was used to saying a person's entire name, no matter how long or annoying it was to pronounce. Nicknames were something that no one - even people closer to her such as Smoker - ever gave the Captain. Maybe using her title, but even that was something she'd earned, not been given as a playful-ish gesture. Yeah. I have heard about you also seeking the one piece treasure. When he went on about Kuina, however, she grimaced slightly. Of all the things that poor lass was, I doubt the words 'copy girl' are the right way to describe her, she sharply quipped, letting some of her more feminine side out. Though I won't lie from what Zoro told me, the resemblance is .... uncanny. Kinda nerve-wracking because of how similar we are. I doubt she had the same goals though, if I had to guess, simply because .... it didn't feel like hat would be what she wanted. I think she wanted more than taking swords away. Still, you are correct on that also. It was flattering that he thought she could surpass even Dracule. But quite honestly, the thought was a terrifying and simultaneously doubtful one. More than that though, it would be ... an unspoken taboo of sorts. Some people could still nowadays hold a very strong, misogynistic point of view. Thus even if she did earn Dracule's title, it'd be much m ore likely to cause an uproar than earn her praise. Under normal circumstances, she wouldn't worry or care about that possibility. However, with her having agreed to break ties with the Marines by joining Law, there was a lot more to worry about, including the new, inevitable bounty that would be placed on her head the moment it was confirmed she had left. Odd that you're realizing all this whilst buzzed and not sober ... Tashigi sighed softly as she finished her first cup off before refilling it. At any rate, Zoro has proved that - annoying as it is to admit - he's earned the right to keep those swords. Despite some being 'earned' in what one could consider questionable circumstances, he is otherwise worthy enough to wield them. But that bastard better not look down on me when we meet again .... ugh .... So .... my sights will be on someone else. I'll probably know when we see them. Perhaps from here we should head to one of the revolutionary army bases, He ... already knows of the Revolutionary Army? Slowly but surely, Tashigi was beginning to see the perks of having more than one kind of ally. She'd only really been able to affiliate herself with other Marines or higher-ranked Government officials. But people like Law weren't restricted due to obligations. As such, he had a lot more freedom. She just ... never considered it could be used in this sort of way. If he has that much influence, he's as charismatic as he is strong ... From what bits and rumors she had heard regarding the Revolutionary Army, they were incredibly secretive and selective on whom got information on them. In fact, the news had distracted her so much that she almost didn't hear his reveal about how and whom trained him in the art of sword fighting. It only somewhat surprises me. I have no doubt someone among Doflamingo's ranks has such a capability yet it seems like they're all focused more on Fruit usage over actual weapons, though I have seen for myself more than enough times they can sometimes be one in the same. A Fruit and a weapon, when use properly. Another soft sigh passed Tashigi's lips as she finished her second cup and plopped against the back of the couch. .... So you're really doing this, huh? Got any better ideas? ... Fine ... Her eyes slowly closed as Tashigi began taking steady breaths to help calm herself, lest she go in a panic attack. This was all quite a bit to hear, let alone agree to, in the quick span of ... twenty minutes? Maybe thirty either way, it wasn't very long that she'd been speaking or sitting near Law. Lunch had barely just finished and already, she was feeling incredibly exhausted, though part of it was very likely due to the sake. What a fucking day ... she mused, mainly to herself, yet not forbidding Law from hearing her thoughts either.
