*Serious: Hawks adventure in Treagon ; Magician meets Inventor (CLOSED)

"I will go to the town and have a look around while Captain and the others are occupied in the mission." It took him 1 minute to finish this sentence, Hawks was talking slower than ever. Leaving the Ship with only one person guarding it, it would seem unwise, but Martha, like the rest of the crew, are not normal pirates.
Hawks wondered a bit on the town and ended up in frond of a bar with the sigh "Tinkering Spell". Finding it funny, that a title would have a combo of such words, Hawks entered to get a drink. It took quite some time till he ordered, talking slowly like always. Some people in close by tables fell asleep (comical relief lol) and the bartender was obviously trying not to snap. Eventually Hawks took a glass of Whiskey and sat in frond of the bar, slowly enjoying his drink. "It's delightful." he says.
Meanwhile ...

"Whaah, whaah, WHY can't I ever catch a break?!" Zuro cursed while running away from a group of marines. "I need a place to hide."
Zuro dashed around a corner, seeing the sign "Tinkering Spell" just near. He ran to the door and practically crashed in, lucky not to break anything. Then he stepped next to the wall, fixed the position of his labcoat and walked to the bartender who was staring at him incredulously.
Zuro, seemingly oblivious to this, simply told him. "I need a drink. Something strong." He reached inside his lab coat for a money pouch and after receiving his drink, he gave the bartender the beli for the drink and looked for a place to sit. He decided to sit next to the black caped man (Hawks). Without saying a thing, he sat down and took a sip.

" You are chased by ... marines, arent you ?" Hawks slowly talks to Zuro. "Want another drink ?" He slowly offers. The bartender is about to fall asleep by that slow talking.

Zuro was feeling sleepy all of a sudden. "Err, yes. I just escaped from prison two days ago and have been trying to hide ever since. Somehow, they always find me. And yes, another drink would be fine."

"Maybe you should talk, a bit lower than that, you dont want others to hear that." he advices and treats Zuro a drink. "You on your own ?" He then asks.

"Good point." He takes the drink "Thanks." He then responds "Yeah, the crew I was in was imprisoned as well. Couldn't free them. They might have already been shipped away."

"Where they caught recently ?" Hawks asks.
Some1 reports to a marine grunt that he saw the person they where looking for entering the bar.
"So, whats your profession ?" Hawks asks, taking a big gulp of Whiskey.

"We we're caught a week ago. They said they we're going to transfer us soon." Zuro took a gulp of his drink "Shit, the marines"
He shifted in his labcoat, apparently trying to blend in better. "I'm a chemist, but I know a fair bit of medicine and engineering as well." He responded.

"I see. A chemist ? Interesting." Hawks finishes his drink, and oddly he talks in normal speed now. "You want them freed ? We could help you free those men, I heard that the marines will sent a vessel away tomorrow, so maybe its to transfer them, but, with one condition." He later finishes.

"Well, yes." He finishes his drink as well. "What is your condition?"

Hawks gets up. "Join our crew after we save your old one. How does that sound ?" Hawks looks at Zuro. "A chemist could be an asset to us, and I can assure you that our crew is powerful, my captain is on a mission at the moment, if he succeeds he will be nominated for a chance to join the, Shichibukai." he finishes talking and waits.

"I accept your terms." Zuro gets up as well "But I warn you that I am unlikely to hold a candle to the fighting prowess of the rest of the crew, by what it sounds like"

"That was something I said so you can see that, your new crew is powerful, so you will know whats best for your self." He then tells him that both sound leave from the back door, cause he "feels" that the marines are coming in.

The marines are indeed about to enter the bar.

Zuro walked towards the backdoor and saw the marines walk in just before he turned around the corner. From behind him he heard. "Have you seen this man?" "He's dangerous" "We have an escaped convict here, do you know anything about him?"
Following Hawks, he walked out of the bar.

"There must be a small station where the marines have a small base in this city, do you know where it is ?" He asks Zuro after they walked a bit.

"Yes, near the plaza. it's a white painted, two floored stone building. There's a marine insignia above the door. It's bigger than most houses, and they have space underground, which is incidentally, where they keep their prisoners. Still, they're somewhat small on marine standards." He turns towards the plaza while continuing to speak. "Their highest ranking marine here right now is Ensign Yza Wright. She's pretty powerful. I tried to take her on when she caught me, but I barely matched her and was forced to retreat when she got backup."

"I see ... however, due to the incidents, the station must be at its weaknest" He explains to Zuro about the hijacked train and so on, and that this should mean than most marine forces will be occupied with it. He then stops walkin "You left the ship unguarded ? You surely are crazy"
An old woman appears upside down on a wall "Its no problem". she says.

Zuro halts "Who's this?" he asks, in part adressing the woman and in part adressing Hawks.

"She is part of the crew, our assassin, dont worry." Hawks calms Zuro. He then comments than the 3 of them, he, Martha & Zuro, are definately enough of a force to take care of the station.

"Good, we can take them then, lets go then." Zuro continues to walk. "Oh, and I'm Zuro" He addresses the assassin.

Martha nods and greets him, then she jumps in frond and vanishes in the shadows. "She will follow in the shadows and back us up." Hawks explains.
After a while they reach outside the station. "3 guards outside ... the defences are low, wait here, I will disarm em." Hawks walks towards them, the guards seem puzzled, then Hawks reveals a pendulum and tells them he will do a magic trick. 2 of the guards laugh and comment that "the magician beggar better leave cause this is a marine zone" but the 3rd recognizes Hawks from a wanted poster. Unfortunately, they dont manage to do anything, cause Hawks hypnotizes them. "Lets go in." He then calls to Zuro waiting some distance away.

Zuro walked in and said "The cells are around that direction. He started walking to the end of the corridor when a marine walkedin from one side of the intersection. "Hey! Who are you, what are you doing here?" The marine said angrily, pointing a gun. Zuro didn't answer, except with a kick to the stomach to make the marine lose his breath and a knock-out punch to the neck.
"We don't want the whole base on us." Zuro walked to where the marine had come from.

"Very well" Hawks nods and they continue. They reach the cell's area "Hmmm ... those cages are made of steel" he comments. Suddenly, something in Hawk's pocket sounds, and Hawks comments "We have company".

"Dammit, they aren't here." Zuro cursed as the marines appeared. "Apparently the marines have been alerted to our presence. This isn't going as well as it could." Zuro drew his katana in an almost sideways one-handed stance, keeping the arsenal hidden from the marines, yet being able to easily access it himself if need be.

Hawks says "time to try him out" and reveals a dagger. "Lets begin, Sasori". The dagger sprouts a scorpion's tail. "Lets take them on."
