On peer pressure...

[swordlore]

Mun, I don't care what everyone else is saying, you need to take this seriously! If you're going to try this, you need to give it your all! You can't bring me out here just to flounder around without a purpose. I'm a Marine, and you can't take me lightly!

If you're serious, take a look at the game and decide if it's what's best. You know you'll have your own ship to captain at the start of next month, and I won't have you take on more than you can handle. That's not fair to your own crew, and it's not fair to me or anyone else.

What are they captaining?

[He has some THOUGHTS on the rest, but they're complicated and INVOLVED as everything with Smoker's thoughts tend to get, so they can wait to untangle for a little bit.]

[swordlore]

Vice-Admiral Smoker! [Salute!]

I was speaking metaphorically, sir! They're a middle school teacher, so their ship 'sails' when school resumes.

[orangeoutlaw]

Oh no the cute one. [totally deadpan. Kill him (again) now]

[swordlore]

Fire Fist Ace!

[And after a brief moment of surprise-]

I didn't come out here just so a pirate like you could take me lightly!

[yourotherleft]

Oh, look who's giving the pep talks, now.

[swordlore]

Roronoa?

[Are all the pirates just coming out of the woodwork today?]

I'd hardly call it a pep talk. I'm just trying to keep him in line and make sure he understands his responsibilities.

[allbluedreams]

I'll kick your ass for trifling with Tashigi-chan's heart you asshole!

[kick!]

[enchantressofore]

[ After her mun has fed her a little info... ]

Oh! You are Miss Tashigi, right? Smoker's second in command?

[ She might be a little excited. SHE'S HEARD THINGS. ]

[three_swords_stronger]

[JESUS CHRIST LUFFY DON'T SAY THAT

brain broken. Rebooting marimo.]

[swordlore]

[Oh, a new face! She gives a smile and nods.]

Yes, I work with Vice-Admiral Smoker often! I'm Captain Tashigi of the Marines. I take it you're one of his new acquaintances?

[wheres_the_meat]

Oh hey. You're that girl who's got a crush on Zoro or something.

[Or it looks like that with how she keeps going after him.]

[yourotherleft]

[JESUS CHRIST LUFFY DON'T SAY THAT

brain broken. Rebooting marimo.]

[justicereigns]

Whoever taught you how crushes work did a piss poor job Rubberneck.

[swordlore]

[What.]

[WHAT]

[STRAW HAT LUFFY WHAT DOES SHE EVEN SAY TO THAT. SHE IS BLUSHING AND MOST CERTAINLY PROTESTING]

A c-c-crush?! How could you even think that?! He's a pirate, that's why I'm going after him!

[followthenose]

W-w-watch out! I've got a gun!

[or to be more accurate a super rubbery captain. THAT COUNTS DOESN'T IT?]

[swordlore]

[Nice try, but SHE WORE HER GLASSES!]

You're not even carrying a gun!

[getaroom]

If you're trying to talk sense into your mun, you're going to need to try harder than that.

[swordlore]

Trafalgar.

[There are too many pirates here.]

I think I can handle my mun without any advice from you.

[playboyknight]

[Oh hey cute girl alert. Hello there.]

While I do agree with what you're speaking about madame, I don't think it wise to yell at your Mun in such a manner. I also don't think a beautiful lady such as yourself should accidentally lose her voice from yelling so loudly.

[swordlore]

[Oh no not another one. WHEN DID ALL MEN GET AS BAD AS HER MARINES?]

Thank you for your concern, but I'm in no danger of losing my voice! If a Marine Captain can't even handle this much, then I have no right to call myself a Marine!

[allbluedreams]

Tashigi-Chwaaaan! How shitty nice to seee youuuu! Please allow me to serve you with my whole heart~!

[swordlore]

[Wait what is even-]

Black Leg? You're here too? Are there any of the Straw Hats who aren't here?

I LOVE YOU MARK :D

[bytheirhand]

I don't think your mun is taking you lightly, miss. I think he just needs to practice first before he thinks about putting you somewhere.

ARE YOU SURE

[swordlore]

Practice is good! But I know my mun, and I don't want him to make a half-hearted commitment.

[She smiles]

Thank you for the advice though, young man.

[grizzly_tea]

You have my sympathies darling. My mun had to be dragged kicking and screaming before I was able to get him to cooperate. Sometimes I worry that if it weren't for me, he'd be content doing nothing but lying there listlessly all day.

[She takes a dainty sip of her tea, taking a moment to turn her powers of perception upon Tashigi.]

You are Tashigi, Vice Admiral Smoker's second in command are you not?

[swordlore]

[Having to whip lazy men into shape? Tashigi can relate to this.]

Yes, I am! And it's very nice to meet you. I'm sorry, but I don't have the honor of your name, miss...?
