"Dance! As heaven crashes down."
MADE BY ★MEULK OF GS | It was loud and rather irritating being in this bar. The white haired Yonkou would bear it though; she had a glass of wine in her hand, and a piece of parchment sitting on the table before her with the words ‘Recruit Sign-ups’ on it.
That’s right; the infamous Hellfire Queen was currently crewless. Her last crew had been killed or locked up like the mutinous dogs they were. Now she was back in Loguetown to recruit a new crew. She’d already acquired a new ship, a simple task since she had all of Loguetown under her thumb. Since the town was in her control she had also figured getting a new crew together here wouldn’t be that difficult. She just had to keep an eye out for individuals who showed promise as valuable crew members.
Her outfit was certainly enough for other pirates to recognize who she was; and if that wasn’t enough her tail and facial features would certainly give it away. After all she was currently the only Yonkou of half-demon blood, and one of the most dangerous ones at that. She had been the one to make sure her previous crew had gotten what she saw as their just rewards, and without even laying a hand on them herself. Sometimes having connections in low places paid off.
And speaking of low places; there were plenty of pirates in the bar tonight, though many of them looked rather ill-suited to be on the crew of a Yonkou. All she had to do was sit, wait, and enjoy her wine. |

A crash, a thud, a bang, and a yell, as a man went flying through the door of the bar, slamming into the counter. Following him in was a somewhat tall man wearing a leather hat and a silver coat, cracking his gloved knuckles before addressing the barkeep. "Oi, barkeep. Strongest liquor you got, and triple your biggest size. Fuck, just attach a handle to a barrel and we're golden." He continued moving towards the first man, kneeling down and glaring him in the face. "Hey fuckwad, if I EVER catch you speaking that way to a gal again, I'll lop off both your hands, and your left foot. We clear?" The man nodded, and Jack grabbed his collar, standing and pulling the man up. With a slight turn and a flick of his arm, the man was sent flying again, this time out through a window. Slamming his left hand on the counter as he turned around, he yelled out "And that goes for the rest of you sorry bastards too. If there's one thing I won't tolerate, it's arrogant fucktards who think it's all fine and dandy to talk down to women! And you, barkeep! Where the hell is my drink?!" In a panic, the barkeep brought out a barrel full of absinthe, an extremely strong alcohol, this particular batch having a nearly 80% alcohol content. But Jack wasn't impressed. He took a large chug, before claiming a table and sitting the barrel on the table and addressing the bar, not even turning around this time. "Anyone dumb enough to want to fight me, bring it on. Otherwise, shut the fuck up. Catch me?"

MADE BY ★MEULK OF GS | All of a sudden the door to the bar was broken as a fairly haggard looking man went flying through it. The sod hit the counter with a very loud and painful sounding noise. Hakkyou showed absolutely no reaction to this, though her eyes did follow the man who walked in after him. She could only assume this was the man that had thrown the first through the door, and rightly so, seeing as how he walked over to the prone man and started loudly threatening him after demanding an absurd amount of alcohol from the barkeeper.
Hakkyou calmly and quietly tilted her bright red hat down a bit so the brim hid most of her face. Her tail she kept curled under her chair, mostly to keep it from getting stepped on or grabbed. She hadn’t met someone who could best her in a fight, but she really didn’t feel like starting a fight tonight. She continued to sip from her glass of wine, keeping an eye on the hot-headed man from under her hat.
If he can take orders he’d be just the kind of crew member I need. She tapped her fingers against the side of her glass as she thought. The rest of the bar was tuned to the back of her mind as she contemplated confronting the man about joining, enough so that she didn’t notice the drunken idiot that began to approach her.
Once she could practically feel the man’s hot and fairly putrid breath on her neck she was pulled from her thoughts and immediately grimaced in disgust. She kept her hat down though, still not wanting to cause too much of a ruckus.
“Hey thar cu’ie,” the drunk said with a stupid grin and an obvious slur, “How ‘bout you an’ I go ou’ back an’ you can polish mah gun.” The man’s inquiry was more of a demand than a question as the drunkard set his hand rather heavily on Hakkyou’s shoulder. Her tail twitched under her chair as her body tensed, getting ready to strike. |

With a loud gulp, the large barrel of the incredibly strong absinthe had become completely empty, and was set on the table with a thud. Immediately following, in one rough motion, Jack stood up and reached his foot to sling the chair he was previously sitting on at the drunk, while walking slowly behind it with an irritated look on his face. "Oi oi oi oi oi. Looks like somebody wasn't quite listening to me before. Very well. It lets me get a bit of a workout in." He chuckled, cracking his knuckles on his right hand, and cracking his neck. However, as he walked, a few other idiots decided to grow some, and stood up to try and gang rush Jack. Jack chuckled again, and in yet another simple motion, ended up behind them. And in front of them. And beside them. In fact, he was all around them. About twenty of him. It was his Miraggio Fiore, mirages created by fluctuating the heat. "Drop your weapons and sit your dumb asses down, before I cap you twenty times over." In a flash, he had a silver revolver sitting neatly in each of his left hands, nineteen pointed at the group who tried to charge him, and one at the drunken idiot who had ignored his original warning. He'd give a few seconds to see if the chair hit, and to see if the idiot would back off.

"Dance! As heaven crashes down."
MADE BY ★MEULK OF GS | I’m not going to be made out as a damsel in distress, was the first thought that crossed her mind when she saw the flying chair.
Faster than the naked eye could see, she stood from her chair as the one that was flying in the direction of her assailant came within range. She was able to move this fast thanks to a special ability she had known as Devil’s Step. While it was still active she grabbed the drunkard by the throat and slammed him into the floor, his head hitting the ground with a solid thud. The chair’s fate was much less kind. With one swipe from her tail it was smashed to splinters.
All of this happened before her “savior” had even pulled out his gun, the effects of Devil’s Step still active the entire time.
To every other bar patron, including the drunkard currently knocked silly on the floor, one moment she was sitting calmly in her chair, and the next she was holding the man by his throat against the floor with a shattered chair falling next to her.
The expression on her face changed drastically in that split moment as well. Now she wore a look of seriousness and controlled rage. She wasn’t trying to be terrifying at this time, just intimidating enough for everyone to remember who she was and where their place was.
Glancing up, she noticed that her “savior” had somehow duplicated himself. This definitely caught her curiosity, though for now she wouldn’t question it.
As soon as the last splinter of the chair fell, the idiots who had originally stood up to confront Jack started to slowly go back to their own business. About half of them remained poised to fight.
Slowly, she stood back up, still holding onto the drunkard’s throat and holding him at arm’s length. She gave each of the remaining idiots a withering look before tossing the dazed drunk at the nearest one that was still standing. |

Jack chuckled. It seemed the woman had far, far more to her than she appeared to. In a split second, much faster than should be visible, but just barely visible to Jack due to his mechanical eye, she had gotten up and crushed the chair. Not with a weapon, nor her hands or feet, but with a tail. A thin, flexible, seemingly prehensile tail. Of course, seeing a woman with a tail moving at such speeds intrigued him to no end. With his own remarkable speed, he moved into each of his mirages in sequence, striking down each target with a strong kick, and in three blinks, stood mere feet from the woman. "Yaaahahahaha, not bad at all, Bambina. I don't think I've ever seen someone movin' quite that fast. Like a beautiful blur." He complimented, flirting a bit as always.
There was a definite interest in her abilities, and the woman might prove useful in securing transport, company, and a good cover. He always needed a good cover. "So, Bambina, what's your name? Mine's Jack, Jack Night." He introduced himself, paying no mind to the other patrons, though he'd be able to near-instantly tell if one tried anything. A chuckle escaped his soft lips, his red eye glowing a bit. A plot was forming in his head, and he'd test just how far he could pull this lady along with him.

"Dance! As heaven crashes down."
MADE BY ★MEULK OF GS | Bambina? Her eye gave a slight twitch at the word. She detested any sort of nickname. She also was rather annoyed by his blatant attempt at flirting. A fight would be pointless right now though so she kept her calm as best she could.
“My name is Hakkyou,” she gave Jack a withering glance as she spoke, her tone cold, “and I’d like to know what someone with your level of ability is doing in my town, especially considering you obviously don’t know who you’re speaking to.” Hakkyou’s katana was visible where the scabbard was attached to her belt, though her pistol’s holster was hidden by her coat.
She straightened up slightly, standing at her full height and crossing her arms over her chest. Granted, being five feet and eight inches tall wasn’t hugely impressive; her appearance did help her intimidation factor quite a bit. Her hat tipped down slightly so she tilted her head up, giving her cold expression a threatening and defiant edge to it. Jack was definitely not someone to take a fight with lightly, though she would rather get him to be an ally instead of an enemy.
Her tail flicked idly as she waited for Jack’s reply, the bar patrons who were smart enough to remain seated the whole time starting to look a bit worried that a fight would break out. They knew all too well what would happen if it did; some of them were even inching toward the door before a fight could start.
One of the younger bar workers, most likely the owner’s son, cautiously came out with a broom to start sweeping up the pieces of broken chair as Hakkyou stared Jack down while waiting for him to speak.
She was keeping her patience quite well since she knew she needed a new crew and so far hadn’t had any volunteers for the job. |

Jack grinned, wisps of heat flickering about him before quickly dissipating, invisible to the naked eye. His eyes focused on her, his red eye glowing with a faint, wicked-looking light. "Heh, so this's your turf, eh? Good to know. I came lookin' for a little fun, a little drink, and some info. So far, I've only found the first two. Doesn't seem like I'm gonna get the third here, so I'm probly gonna bounce. Unless you've got some interest in me, Bambina. But I'll warn ya, I don't come cheap." He said, a smirk gracing his lips. He knew she had to be something to stake a claim on such a famous town as Loguetown, so he decided it best to test her before deciding if he'd ally with her. Suddenly, an idea popped in his head.
"Alright then, how about we have a little contest. See who can hold their liquor better. Winner decides the stakes. Sound good to you, Bambina?" He placed his hand on the counter, leaning a bit, and applying a little force to make the wood buckle a bit under his grip. It was a very minor display, but one that showed power, and if she noticed it, would probably catch her eye and her attention. Who knows, he figured she might be able to give him more entertainment than the last person he'd tried to join up with. "We have a deal?"

"Dance! As heaven crashes down."
MADE BY ★MEULK OF GS | He was actually posing a drinking contest to a demon. That confirmed the fact he had no idea who, or probably even what, she was. He certainly had an attitude, though she did as well, which would prove interesting if he did join her crew.
“Do you really expect me to be lacking money when I have control over such a prosperous merchant town?” she raised her eyebrow at him as she said it, “As for a drinking contest; that sounds fair. Though since it’s my domain, I choose what we’re drinking.”
Just because she was going to have a drinking contest didn’t mean she had to drink the swill that nearly everyone else drank here. She had some class after all, though she wasn’t going to have a good bottle of wine opened to be wasted on a silly contest. Instead she ran through a mental list of mixed drinks she’d enjoyed before. Hmmm…I’m rather partial to having a few mojitos tonight.
She was curious as to the information Jack was looking for. After a few drinks he’d probably be loose-tongued enough to tell her. Though if he kept calling her bambina all night she’d probably slug him for it eventually, most likely more than once by the end of the drinking contest.
Actually that sounds like a wonderful idea. |

Jack chuckled loudly enough to be heard. "Sounds like a plan to me, Bambina. Pick your poison, I'll drink anything. Even Satan himself couldn't drink me under the table." He boasted, laughing heartily. In truth, he wasn't really bluffing, since his Devil Fruit burned such an insane amount of sugar, he was physically unable to get drunk. Or so he'd thought. He knew nothing of his weakness to mint, so he had no idea that there was any drink that would affect him. So he heartily boasted, ready to chug down about anything. "You make the arrangements, I'll set up our stage." He said as he walked away, towards a large, round table with a full group.
In a flash, Jack's leg slammed onto the table, held back just enough not to break the table into a million pieces, and his voice boomed out. "Aye, get lost, or get tossed. Those're yer option, savvy?" As he spoke, the group was visibly startled and shaken, and high-tailed it out at the first chance. Jack chuckled, amused by how easily simple intimidation could scare off a group like that, especially ones in a town that dealt with pirates on a daily basis. "Buncha cowards. Can't say I blame 'em, though. It was the smarter course." He sighed, sitting in one of the newly-available seats. "Well, come on 'en. Ain't got all day."

"Dance! As heaven crashes down."
MADE BY ★MEULK OF GS | “You’ll be regretting making that statement,” Hakkyou replied smugly. Trying to outdrink a demoness was a bad idea for anyone aside from a full demon. Things would certainly get interesting tonight, though hopefully she wouldn’t be forced to use Succubus’s Charm to persuade Jack to join her crew.
“Barkeep. Mojitos.” She motioned for the barkeep to get the drinks ready and served as she went to sit across from Jack. For anyone looking at them the two pirates would look strikingly similar to one another. Hakkyou herself didn’t see any similarity when she looked at Jack, though this was due to what she saw in any mirrors she looked in.
Immediately after the first round of drinks was prepared they were hurriedly put on the table in front of the two white haired pirates. The drinks were clear, with ice floating at the top along with crushed mint leaves and sitting in clear glasses.
Hakkyou calmly grabbed her drink and brought it up to her lips, drinking it at a casual and relaxed pace. She only drank quickly when the majority of the concoction was bourbon or whiskey, anything else was not rushed so she could enjoy the flavor.
Once her glass was empty of all but ice and the remaining leaves she set it down on the table and crossed her arms over her chest. She raised an eyebrow at Jack as she used her tail to tip her hat up just a bit, waiting for him to finish the round. |

Jack chuckled, feet kicked up on the table. He simply watched as the drinks were brought over, and as Hakkyou slowly drank hers. "Oi oi, ain't no way to drink when you're in a drinkin' contest, Bambina. Takin' your time's all well and good, but a drinkin' contest shouldn't be done at a brisk pace." He scoffed, raising his left hand to about chest level.
From his fingers emerged a large umber of wires, which wrapped around the cup and brought it to his mouth, chugging the entire glass, including the ice, which was melted from a slight heating of his mouth. As soon as he swallowed, however, he came across a problem. A feeling he'd never felt before. His body felt cold and warm all at once, which should be impossible with his Devil Fruit, and he felt dizzy as his vision blurred. "E-eh? *Hic* Dafack? Wha' was innat?" He asked, his words slurring as he had difficulty keeping his balance even sitting still.

"Dance! As heaven crashes down."
MADE BY ★MEULK OF GS | “My name is not Bambina, and obviously you don’t know how to enjoy a drink,” she replied tersely as Jack used an interesting technique to grab his glass. Wires huh? This cyborg’s got some tricks up his sleeve…literally.
Once he’d downed his glass it became apparent he was shit faced, and it was hilarious. He’d downed an entire barrel, and now he was totally wasted off a single drink. He even drank down the ice and mint leaves.
The amusement was very obvious on Hakkyou’s face. Her black lips were quirked up at the corners in a smirk, and her tail flicked and curled idly. “Well, this is certainly entertaining. Guess after that barrel earlier you finally hit your limit, while I’m still good for quite a few more rounds.”
"E-eh? *Hic* Dafack? Wha' was innat?"
She couldn’t help but let out a small chuckle at his slurred speech. “Oh, a bit of white rum, some sugar, lime juice, sparkling water, and topped off with mint. It’s very refreshing in the summer.” As she spoke she waved her arm at the barkeep, silently ordering another round brought to the table.
Once the glasses were on their way she spoke again, “So, shall we continue, or do you surrender?” The glasses made a light clinking sound as they were set down, Hakkyou reaching for one of them whether or not the contest would continue. She wasn’t going to let a good drink sit and not be drank. |

Jack attempted a scoff, but only came across sounding like he'd just choked on something. "Surrender ain't in my voca....voca...I don' know wha' it means. Ain' no one drinks a Night under the table. Nuh-uh." He laughed, chugging down another mojito, and only contributing to his problem. He wobbled even more, barely supporting himself in his seat, as he was completely intoxicated. There was no doubt that he'd lose this contest, but he'd never admit it in a thousand years. "Ya sure ther' ain' sumfin' else innis? Sumfin' nasty? Sumfin' druggy?" He said, slurring his words through his accusing tone.

MADE BY ★MEULK OF GS | “Why in the world would I have something drugged that was being served to me as well?” Hakkyou gave a slight roll of her eyes as she spoke. There was never any point in trying to argue with someone when they were drunk, but she couldn’t help but point out the flaw in his logic. “And before long, I have a feeling you’ll be regretting making that claim, Jack, though it may not be until the murderous hangover you’re setting yourself up for.”
Quickly downing her own drink, the barkeep brought over another round. Hakkyou silently waited for Jack to start the round, chewing on the mint leaf from the glass she just emptied. It was certainly a one-sided contest, and the demoness Yonkou couldn’t help but wonder why. This cyborg had seemed to drink down an entire barrel with no trouble, yet now he was a drunken blathering idiot for lack of a better term. What was so different between the two drinks that it would immediately intoxicate him so thoroughly?
She pulled the mint from the new glass and began to chew on it as she waited on Jack. |
