Simply Running Business (Open to Everyone)

(( *ding ding ding* And the prize goes to James!! You got it right on :3 ))

Kanhoji continue to watch the crew and such. He did not see the captain yet but he have a feeling that he would sooner or later.
Hanging on by one hand only, he started to write down any information that he can, like their position, some pirates that he reconigzed, draw the pirate flag, people and such. He hold on to his journal by his feet, his sandels in his mouth, not bothered by the fact that in this position, he looked like some kind of monkey... if he wasn't reknowned as one already.

"Whatcha doin'?" Gavin was standing behind Amari and staring down at her.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

"Captain! We have news!"

"Finally," Quinton grumbled. He headed out onto the deck of his ship, where he had heard the voice coming from. There, on deck, Danny and Meredith were waiting for him. Meredith stepped forward to speak to him first.

"Captain, we went to the pirate's mansion, but found that is virtually impossible to sneak in," she said. "I personally cannot see any of the crew getting in there. However..."

"We found someone that might be able to do it!" Danny interrupted. He ignored the death glare Meredith was giving him and continued. "While we were on our way to the mansion, we saw a young man jumping across rooftops, heading in the general direction. When we arrived at the mansion, we began to examine the premises and were just about to return when we saw that same man jumping off of the building. There were several guards after him, so I am certain he is not a part of that pirate organization."

"Yeah? So?" Quinton asked.

Meredith picked up where Danny had left off. "The thing is, he would have gotten there at least a minute before we arrived and then he was there the whole time we were there. So he must have slipped through their security net somehow. Even though he was discovered soon after, he still got in. We were thinking that we could recruit this man and have him help us get in."

"Not a bad idea," Quinton admitted. "Very well. Find him! If he refuses to return, then force him."

"Yes, captain!" the two turned and left the ship once more.

Amari takes another bite then jumps as Gavin talks, not expecting anyone to see her. She tilted and waved her arms around to keep on the roof, and glared up at him.
"What? Oh,uh....eating"
Her mouth full of apple, she takes it out and chews the big piece.

"Do you mind if I sit down?" Gavin asked. He didn't wait for her to reply, but instead sat down next to her, though admittedly it was two feet away and he was rubbing the hilt of his sword with his hand, but you get the idea. "I have a question," Gavin continued. "Do you mind if I ask you something? Good. It's just that...I get this bizarre feeling that you don't like me for some reason. Do you not want me to come with you guys?"

Amari blinks and looks away, taking another bite of the apple before answering.
"I just....have a hard time trusting other people. I'm not like Kanhoji"
She looks to him, her eyes hard.
"I won't trust you until you actually do something to earn it"
Amari takes another bite of the apple and throws it into an alley's dumpster.

Kanhoji have to use all his will power not to laugh as he heard this. He got to finally see the captain, only to find the situation funny. The captain is very powerful indeed. He remembered him from his bounty that he found and the later information he was able to get. A captain with tar power.. if he remember correctly... or was he thinking about another pirate? He slip his journal into his messenger bag and jump down to the invisable row bow that he made invisable not to long ago. Kanhoji little family is just known for trouble. It's no doubt that the person on their roof is actually Gavin.
As Kanhoji rowed the boat out of the way, he wondered what so hard to get into the mansion?
He remembered breaking into more horrible stuff than that... like that one time he went to Impel Down.
Kanhoji shivered. He didn't want to remember that at all. The warden didn't look especially happy to see him, though he did manage to make a friend out of the man somehow.
Kanhoji thinks about the mansion up above. If he remember, that place is suppose to have floor senors, laser motion detectors, some mines in the background, several mushi cameras around, and about too many guards to count.
Shrugging, he wonder how hard can that be?

"Right," Gavin stood back up. "I get that a lot." He smiled slightly, but then jumped off the edge of the building, catching a flagpole and swinging on it a full circle to slow his descent before dropping on the ground. He walked away, heading out onto the main street, whistling. After a minute, he cocked his head to the side and stopped whistling.

Someone is following me, Gavin thought. He stopped by a fruit stand and looked over the wares, but as he did, he casually flicked his eyes to the side to look behind him. There is one man and one woman, Gavin observed, seeing a man tying his shoe with a woman standing next to him, looking impatient. And they're trying the oldest trick in the book, Gavin thought, smiling to himself. What amateurs. This will be a piece of cake. He moved on down the street, looking like he didn't have a care in the world.

Amari watches as he goes off and raises an eyebrow as he goes to a stand, then looks around and sees the same couple from earlier. She frowns and then slides off the roof and lands on the ground of an alley and walks out, blinking as she sees she had landed next to a weapon store, which reminds her she had forgotten her hammer. Amari looks around warily then takes a random katana and walks after the couple putting the sheathed katana in the back of her sweatshirt.

"Sir, we have news," a young woman strode into the office of one of the strongest pirates in the area. "A pirate ship has been spotted in your harbor."

The man turned to face her. He was old for a pirate, somewhere in his late forties to early fifties. The man had a rugged, handsome face. His eyes were a clear, almost glassy, blue color and his hair was black, but it had streaks of grey running through it. The man wore a grey sports jacket over a white, button up shirt. He had on khaki pants and shining, black shoes.

"So, another glory seeking hound has come to try and take my territory," the man muttered. "Which idiot is it this time?"

"He's a man by the name of Quinton Mason," the young woman replied. "He is a new face, only started his crew a few weeks back, but already he has a bounty that would rival your own." She lay a bounty poster on the desk in front of her boss.

"73,000,000," the man nodded approvingly. "This one might actually prove to be some fun." He pulled himself up out of his chair and headed for the door. "Call Liza," he said to the woman. "I want her on this case with me."

[Presentation Box]
Jack Ryuu
Captain of the Reaper Pirates
Bounty: 83,000,000

Kanhoji was going down the streets, not paying attention to anything as he swayed his way towards the crowd, looking at his journal, files, etcs as he rechecked his work and information, making sure he did not forget anything, going towards to the mansion of the town. It was a clear destiantion that he's going to follow. He the roof his sister was on, the weapon store and already passed Gavin who is walking down the street. So far that he heard, that a famous old captain was in the mansion. Old but no doubt powerful. Just the thought of it excited Kanhoji to the fullest. He would like to interview the old man, if he was the good kind of pirate than the bad kind of pirate. He seems like the good one since the town is doing quite well, as if the townfolks didn't know about that their mayor is a pirate. He continue to walk down, his journal up to his face, accidently bumping into Danny but a bit touch of a shoulder. Mumbling sorry, he continue on the way.

Danny barely spared Kanhoji a glance before moving on, never realizing that he had just ran into a man who would be far more capable at sneaking into the mansion then Gavin was.

Gavin led his merry parade down the street until he found himself on a street where there were not nearly as many ordinary citizens walking around. At that point, Gavin ducked down an alleyway and ran to the end, drawing his sword and preparing himself to fight.

The duo followed Gavin down the alleyway and stood there, blocking his escape route, or so they thought.

For a moment, no one said anything, then Gavin straightened up. "Well, I'm beat," he said. "You win the staring contest. Can I go home now?" He flashed them his classic stupid grin.

Amari saw her brother move down the street but the crowd would not move to let her speak to him so she kept on following the duo that was stalking Gavin. She stopped and kneeled outside of the alley, trying to keep out of site but also trying to listen to the conversation as well.

"Whoa... big gate..." Kanhoji mumbled in amazment as he stare at the golden gate, decorated with gold lions and gold flowers. Hearing a humming, he looked to see a device on the other side of the gate and grin as he shaked his head in amusement.
"An ELECTRIC big gate. This guy got style!!" Kanhoji laughed his merriful laugh, only that laugh would've get weird people staring at him. Well, Kanhoji thinks they're weird. Can't a guy laugh?
Shouldering his messenger bag, Kanhoji grinned happily as his feet started to disappear a soon, his legs up to his waist.
His grin was stil plastered even when he disappeared completely.

Danny blinked, then smiled. "I think I like this guy," he said to his companion.

Meredith ignored him. "Hey, we're not here to joke around," she said. "Our boss has a business offer for you."

"I'm busy right now, so can you just tell me now?" Gavin asked.

"Very well," Meredith nodded. "We want you to break into a place for us. The place is that mansion you were on top of earlier."

"Mansion...?" Gavin frowned. "Ah, yes. I know what you mean. Sorry, but I can't. So...if you'll excuse me."

"This is not an offer you can refuse," Meredith said. "Danny!"

Danny drew his odd weapon and ran towards Gavin.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Jack was almost to the front door of his mansion when he remembered that he had left his watch back in his office. He never went anywhere without his watch. Sighing, he headed back upstairs to his office.

"...-Not an offer you can refuse. Danny!"
Amari reached behind her and pulled the katana from its sheath and came out, ran towards them and slashed at the girl.

Kanhoji did a ninja drop in front of the office's window, his invisablity gone this time.
The guards are foolishly out on the frontal, not bothering to guard near the mansion. The mushi cameras won't be able to record where he is. Peaking in the office, he saw it empty. He turned himself invisable just incase if a hidden camera he didn't know of. He entered the office quietly and as ninjaly as possible as he look around. What a interesting place really. It's neat, professial, and a bit elegant. Looking around, he saw many things that interested him. Mostly things that came from Jack Ryuu's year of piracy.

With a roar, the woman's belt unwound itself from her waist and the end of the belt transformed, becoming a massive, seven foot tall lion, which swiped at Amari with a paw big enough and strong enough to take off her head.

Gavin drew his sword and blocked the strange weapon that Danny was wielding. "Is that...a giant pair of scissors?" Gavin asked, staring at the weapon. To further prove Gavin's belief, Danny took each of the weapon's handles in each of his hands. He pulled the weapon's handles apart, opening the blade so that it really did now look like a giant pair of scissors. Gavin laughed, but then Danny snapped the scissors on Gavin's sword and twisted it down. Danny's fist lashed out, snapping Gavin's head back and knocking him on the ground, his sword pulled from his hand by the scissors.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Jack opened his office and saw...a young boy standing in his office. He blinked, but then closed the door behind him. "See anything that interests you?" Jack asked.

Amari dodges the lion's paw easily and growls in frustration and then lashes out with the katana again, giving an smirk.
This is gonna be interesting

(( I'm actually invisable but oh well, lets go along with that XXXDD))

Kanhoji, not noticing that he's probably in big trouble for tresspassing, nodded like an excited child looking at a toy at a toystore.
"This is a scale from a Sennenryu!!! And look at this! A old scripture of the ponoglyph? And is that the gold from The City of Gold?!"
Kanhoji looked at the mercendice carefully but with full attention and excitement.

The lion pulled back from the katana. Meredith reached down and seized something and lifted it up. It was the end of the lion's tail...but it was also still black leather like her belt. The lion transformed back into the belt, but now it was obvious that it was more then just a belt. It was whip. Meredith cracked the whip through the air and the end of it once more transformed into its lion form, which curled itself around Meredith.

"What are you doing here?" Meredith asked. "Stay out of this."

Gavin popped back up. "Ow!" he said, "I think you broke my nose..." He twisted his nose and with a sharp CRACK it snapped back into position. Gavin winced. "Much better," he said.

Danny opened his weapon and dropped Gavin's weapon on the ground. He kicked it away behind him.

"What will you do now?" he asked.

"I think...I'll play you a little tune," Gavin replied. He drew his guitar off of his back. Then he looked past Danny and saw Meredith facing... "Amari?" Gavin looked surprised. What is she doing here? he wondered.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

((Your post says that his invisibility was 'gone this time.' Check it.))

"Yes, yes, and yes," Jack said. He stuck his hands in his pockets and looked relaxed. "I have collected many things. Some of which the marines would like destroyed." He smiled slightly. "I think I've earned about 6,000,000 on my bounty just from my collection alone."

Amari watched as it tranformed again and again, not at all impressed.
"That is for me to know and for you to find out"
She dashed forward and slashed out.

(( Yep but the turned invisable again just in case ^^ " He turned himself invisable just incase if a hidden camera he didn't know of" ))

Kanhoji frowned a bit.
"No way. It should be a bit more than that with this kind of impressive collection. Probably just don't want to revel that you have this kind of collection for unwanted bounty hunter themself." Kanhoji mumbled as he rubbed his chin, still pretty oblvious to the situation.
" 'Specially these plans. They orginally belong to the marines themselves." Kanhoji said as he pointed up to the framed plans.
Blinking, he turned his head towards Jack and blinked for a few minutes.
He just then sheepishly grinned while rubbing the back of his head.
"Um.. sorry for dropping in, can't help myself Jack Ryuu." Kanhoji said, laughing carefreely.

"Very well," Meredith said. She twisted back, avoiding the blade, although the sword still cut her cheek. "Kill her, Leo!" The lion leaped over Meredith, aiming its claws and fangs at Amari.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Gavin's eyes flashed as he watched the lion moving in on Amari. He started forward, walking quickly towards the women.

"Don't take your eyes off of your opponent!" Danny warned. He rushed towards Gavin and thrust his scissors at him.

"Get out of the way," Gavin growled. He blocked the scissors with the blades on his guitar and pulled it to the side, dragging Danny forward. Gavin spun his guitar around and smashed the back of it into Danny's face, flattening him on the ground.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

((Okay, sorry I missed that.))

Jack shrugged. "That's alright," he said. "What do you need?"

Amari moves out of the way a little too late and a claw slashes her side. She gasps in pain and takes a few steps back before swinging the blade again at the lion, her other hand holding her side.

((Naahhh. It's ok ^^ ))
Kanhoji perked up at his question.
No chasing him.
No running him off.
No threats?
He like this guy already since he eyed his collection.
" I'm just new here and wanted to look around at everything. Emphiess on EVERYTHING" Kanhoji answered truthfully, laughing.
"Also, I also wanted to see the face of the famous Jack Ryuu! I heard you were alive in this part though some say you disappear." Kanhoji mentioned, grinning happily.
