I will hunt you down...
"Hostility at its best" was all he said as he found himself a bit out of breath, his chest rising with each deep inhale he took into his lungs, the man had been chased a group of villagers had spotted him. He had no idea how they had recognized him as a pirate, or maybe there were just hostile jerks he couldn't put his finger on it all he knew was that these individuals were quite the stubborn bunch. Luckily he had lost them in the dense wilderness of the surrounding habitat, he found himself looking around the corner of the tree in which he hid behind making sure to be absolutely positive they were gone. Once he was assured that they were all gone he stepped out from behind the tree his swords still neatly tucked away in the scabbards of his back. He would begin walking back the way he had come, in order to make his way into the town Bunji was not here for sight seeing he was here to meet someone, another pirate as far as he knew one that had information on someone he was looking for.
Bunji would make his way through the thick wilderness using his hands to push the branches out of his way, and his legs to split bushes in his path; the man continued to move through the wilds until he spotted someone in the distance. He wore a white shirt, and a red vest; it had to be him! Bunji wasted no time approaching the individual waving a hand overhead to get his attention "Hey! Over here!" he called out as he stepped out from the wilderness wearing his long cloak with no shirt under revealing his tanned yet toned upper body. The red head would adjust the straps that crossed one another diagonally over his torso as he stared at the nameless individual whom he believed to be his informant, "Quite the place you've chosen to meet at friend" he said with a chuckle using the term 'friend' lightly. Standing there the man smiled waiting for the nameless stranger to speak, feeling confident that this was the man he was meant to talk to; "So wheres the intel on the pirate I asked about?"

Ah, Shomotsuki village, town of swords and a distrust and resentment of pirates....So why was this being chosen as a meeting place for a couple of pirates? Well the answer lied in the cooking, well more so in Luca's as this was a place that he had on his list of recipes to copy borrow and well Luca seemed to be having an easier time to blend in, mainly because he was making and giving out ice cream and sorbets to a few paying customers. One of the many advantages of having a power that let's you manipulate snow, as long as you had the ingredients you can easily make them and sell them for a nice buck or so. That really wasn't the point of his visit to the village, as it was rather a bit more business than pleasure, because as it turned out, the man had actually obtain some info about a certain pirate and was seeked out for cette info. While info broker really wasn't on Luca's resume, he thought he would humor himself and agree but they would meet in a place chosen by the wandering chef.
So now paced Luca around the edge of the village waiting for a sign of the other pirate, and he released a small sigh,"Hopefully the guy decided to show, because I would rather leave before they figure it out." He quietly mumbled under his breath as he noticed a few of the suspicious glances of the villagers, but maybe it was just about his hair? Well at least that was Luca hoped. It was suddenly that rustling was heard from the woods at the edge of town, and conveniently right next to the man but it only resulted in a slightly raised eyebrow. Then out emerged a red haired man wearing a coat who called out with a waving hand "Well speak of the devil..." Luca added before taking a few steps towards the individual.
"Well, despite the circumstances of the village it seems like a good place to do business. Mainly for the fact that if this ended up as a trap of sorts, one yell of being a pirate would get them all ralled up." Luca said with a small smirk, but as he spoke he dove his right hand into his pant's back pocket and pulled out a small piece of folded paper and held it loosely in-front of his torso. "Don't worry I got your intel right here, why you need though is beyond me." He stated as he stretched his arm out towards the individual with the paper between his two fingers.
"I don't know about you though, but I prefer to know the names of those I do business with. Mainly so that if I get double crossed or anything I have someone's name to shout out before I die." The words came bluntly from the man as his red eyes gleamed slightly,"As a sign of good faith I will at least give you mine. Luca." The small smirk on his face kinda diminished any real sign of seriousness from his previous statement but that was kinda the point.

Time to breathe a moment's grace
For the Hunter and the Hunted
Taking time to break the pace
Are you hopeful? Are you haunted
By the ghost of Christmas Past?
Face the future undaunted
Step aside or take your chance
Run with the Fox
Into the wind
Unto the dawn of tomorrow
Run with the Fox
Into the wild
Into the wild in the fold
Beware of the rocks
And be prepared

I will hunt you down... Bunji would nod at the man taking the papers from his hand he would eye the envelope which contained them, he would open the top of the envelope he would reach inside with his fingers pinching the papers inside once he pulled them out he was welcomed by the familiar image of the red head he had run into on he pirate Island a few days ago. Bunji would pull the papers out reading over them, taking in the details of what this guy had written down figuring he would read over it later in detail he pushed the files back into the envelope. Closing it he stuffed it into the under part of his jacket, rolling it up first to slip it between his belt, and his waist. Bunji would look over at the other man who was trying to make light of the situation, despite the fact that the two of them were on an Island that was known for being hostile against pirates. With a nod of the head the red haired male would wave a hand at the man named Luca, he found it odd that the 's' was missing but go figure Pirates were the creative bunch.
"I'm Bunji, its nice to put a name to the face. Now I have to ask you..." he would pause when he thought he heard something, going quiet the male would glance to the surrounding wilderness keeping his eyes open, and his senses sharp. However when nothing came from he sound he would relax once more, turning back to Luca he would cross his arms over his chest "Yumi Tasukai is the name of the girl I had you follow, I know the pay isn't much but here I added a bonus to it..." he said reaching into one of his sleeves producing a thick stack of Beli he would hand it to the man. Once it was taken Bunji would walk over towards the nearest tree leaning his back against it, "Tell me about what you saw. What was she doing? Does he have a crew yet? Like I told you the last time I talked to her she mentioned a crew. Any signs of that being true?" he asked the other man in a low tone keeping aware of their surroundings, the last thing they would need is to be ambushed.

As the red haired man took the envelope and skimmed it's contents, Luca couldn't help to look around the area just to make sure everything was going alright. He would then give a small smile and wave to two passerbys as they gave off a strange look towards the two pirates but Luca didn't really care that much as if trouble did arise they could easily be dealt with. All of this over some captain? Hell, Luca wasn't really one to judge on one's motives so he really gave it no mind, and once the red-hair man finished skimming and gave out his name, Luca scratched the back of his head before getting his pay and he lazily reached out to take the bag of beli.
With a quick peek Luca smirked slightly,"Ahh, this will do nicely. Had my eye on this nice pot set and this looks to be just enough." The chef mused to himself as his mind drifted off to the future dishes he could make with new shiny silver pots, one could even see a speck of drool on the corner of his lip. However just as quick that he started to daydream, Luca shook his head slightly and with his thumb wiped away the small bit of drool from his mouth. It was then that he was reminded about the rest of the info,"Alrighty then Cord, I will give you all of the juicy bits from what I know." A smirk came from the pun he made on his client's name, it wasn't all that funny but regardless.
"The last time I saw miss Yumi she was walking down the streets of Orange Town with some really tall women. Judging by the way they acted it seemed like they were friends, or even part of the same crew." Luca raised his right arm to scratch his chin against his leather glove as he was recalling all that he could remember. "They did have a ship and it appeared to have a blond girl on-board as well, so I would assume the two ladies are also part of her crew." The man added before putting both of his hands into his pants' pockets before he gave a small chuckle,"I can see why you would be wanting to join their crew, just don't get over your head."
After his little bit of advice Luca couldn't help but take another quick glance at the area and he could just feel the suspicion in the air itself," On a side note, I advice we at least start to move a little or they might catch on." The tone the man mumbled was just low enough for Bunji to hear and he readied a fist in his pocket, just in-case if trouble did peek it's little head, and wield a sword and a grudge against pirates...

I will hunt you down... Shutting his eyes he would listen quietly to the words which escaped form Luca's mouth, Bunji remained silent as his mind would paint a picture he took the details he could get from what he was given. The first major detail was the fact that they had been spotted in Orange Town, the second was that Yumi seemed to already have gathered two people in her crew, both women; he was not very surprise by that. Seeing as the girl seemed to be the spunky type, so maybe these other girls were the same? Like they say 'Girls just wanna have fun' either way the man would listen until Luca was entirely done, even taking in the last bit of advice. "Heh...do not misunderstand this has nothing to with things like physical lust for Yumi...but yes we should move along" he added as he glanced back at the clearing ahead where the two passerby had walked by earlier. Nodding quietly to Luca he would begin to walk making it seem as if the two were merely conversing like old friend, "A few days ago I stumbled upon a pirate camp where I found myself face to face with a deathly situation, as luck would have it Yumi was there as well aiming to loot the camp. We worked together, survived, and in the end she offered me a spot in her crew..." the red haired man paused as he glanced over to the distance spotting two armed men who seemed more like guards than anything else.
Dismissing the men he turned his red eyes back to the path ahead, "....I denied her initially because I wished to know exactly who she is, what she's doing...I will not be joining a crew that doesn't exist. However, with your information I find myself intrigued now...more so with Yumi" he added at the end a sly smirk on the mans' features. The two would walk along, making their way through the scarred path that led down the split in this heavy forest, Bunji for the most part was rather relaxed seeing no real reason to be alarmed; such a feeling would soon fade away. It was not until three men stood in their way that the red haired pirate top, it was clear these men were not going to step aside instead of reaching for his swords however Bunji remained still eying the group "Help ya fellas?" he asked the trio.
The man in the middle, a great big beard decorated his aged features, and his shoulder served to rest a great big cleaver that could cleave a man in half no doubt with minimal effort. This scene would have put Bunji on edge, but he had to keep his cool otherwise if he did anything suspicious these men like wild dogs would attack at the first scent of fear, instead the red head remained quiet to allow the man with the cleaver to speak. "We are looking for any would be pirates hiding out on our Island...those bastards think they can escape us? We will find them, and carve them down to size!" he man declared with a great pride in his words, the other two roaring with him pumping their fists into the air. "You two! What business have you here?" he asked his eyes glaring at the two individuals suspiciously.
With a smile on his features Bunji shrugged, "At ease oh great hunter, we are merely wanderers passing by your lands to make our way to Orange Town. We are lost on our way, aiming to reach our destination. We mean no harm or ill intent to your home" he said with a respectable bow. The man would scoff, "Then what is the reason for brandishing such weapons?" he asked, Bunji would chuckle again looking up at the man "In these uncertain times, we must be all ready to defend ourselves. Do you not agree friend?" he asked curiously, the man would raise a brow glancing back at his partners, then back to the two pirates. "Your names?" he asked staring at them both, "Bunji" the red head quickly answered with a wave, the bushy beard mans eyes now rested on Luca waiting for his answer.
