Bond felt a tinge of appreciation for this otherwise troublesome woman.
Well it appears I have some work to do on staying incognito. Letting his smile lapse into a far too exaggerated smirk, Bond poured two whiskeys up neat. Pushing one forward,
"A simple drink for a simple understanding," Bond raised his own glass in cheers to Lisa, "This pilgrim is a wanderer with a purpose, I just require simple direction"
Letting the smirk grow more natural Bond takes a sip of his glass, Ah that is actually pretty good whiskey, when not ruined by mishandling.

Every word from those three men indicated that they were highest authority in this island.

They Most likely are Bellamys subordinates...How many innocent civilians did those bastard kill for insignificant bump like this? Still ,have to get more information from them before acting.

As fishman got encircled , he raised hands as a sign of surrender.

Weil:
Really sorry guys, I am new here. Two whom do I have to apologise? Is there a way to save worthless Neck of mine?

Vincent Brothers started moving towards their boss. Those two were hiding in the crowd.

Jan:
Looks like boss got busted real quick. .huuuh.
Michael :This indeed is bad. Townsfolk all have stopped and are watching our Weil now. Fear in their eyes is deep.
Jan: We are here to change this brother. I guarantee you one thing. Today Notice island will see the freedom. Peoples eyes will be filled with hope ,not misery and fear. Justice never yields to evil.

The edge of the Peasant town.


A small crowd starts to form as the commotion between the Fishmen and Bellamy Pirates reaches its boiling point. Two of the guards are ready to punish the disrespect, but the one obviously calling the shots is keeping a level head...

Bellamy Pirate 1: Let's go, He's obviously taking my offer, if we are any more late, the boss will do worse too us than what you will do to him...
Bellamy Pirate 2: Lucky for you the boss isn't a patient man...
Bellamy Pirate 3: if we see you again you wont be so lucky...

The three Pirates turn around and head back up the hill quickly to make up for lost time. Their are a few murmurs from the small crowd before they disperse. The Fishmen has dodged a bullet this time, but the Pirates and townsfolk are not too appreciative of the disruption. The pirates will not be so nice if they see him again, and only the rebels in the peasant town might help, but are still hiding.

Dante pointed to Bond with his thumb

Dante: "
You see this man, he kill 100 men in the blink of an eye. Who's to say how quickly he and hurt one little lady"

Lisa un impressed with the threats, looks at Dante stands up, flexes her...cleavage and says with fiery conviction....

Lisa: 100 men HAHAHA! I have "handled" waaay more than 100 men if you get my drift Thats no way to talk to a lady!

Lisa then kicks Bond out from behind the Bar, quickly stashes her tip jar and goes about business as usual. She will no longer provide any help. (intimidations doesn't work on her) Knowing you are undercover CP agents she knows she's really not in that much danger, she's not a wanted person, and she's been "helpful" in the investigation.

Lisa: What can I get you too drink?

Bond looks from dantecazador to Lisa and then back.
Interesting strategy, but she was telling us quite a bit already with simple bribes. As Lisa returned to her position behind the bar, Bond realized the game with her was up. Well, more is the shame she was about to tell them something.

Looking at Solitaire and Dante, Bond gave a curt nod to each. Turning back to Lisa and downing the remainder of his whiskey.
"It seems 'heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard are sweeter.' I will have a dry martini, these two will have an old fashioned, and a long island iced tea respectively" pointing first to Dante and then to Solitaire. Once Lisa finished his drink, Bond stands up and nods to her then walks over to Maggie.

Sitting down in the empty chair across from Maggie
"What will that drink I made for you get me? Or is it money to hear a reading?"

Solitaire, understanding what Bond meant by his order, proffers a 5,000 beri bill to cover the three drinks and takes hers and sits down with the arguing couple. Solitaire had listened to enough of the argument previous to comment at this point.
"Your wife means not to criticize everything, she merely wants you to become the man she always knew you were when she married you. What was it the poet said? 'I am in you and you in me, mutual in divine love'" Solitaire smiled at Marge and then at Homer gauging their reaction I need an argument if I am going to separate them.

"I see love sparkling in your eyes, even after being married so long." Solitaire pushes the drink to Marge, perhaps this Homer might feel more free to talk if his wife were passed out.

Maggie makes drinks and small talk, but just goes about her bar"ly" duties

In front of Maggie the Fortune Teller
Otis said:

Maggie doesn't acknowledge the Man, just shuffles the deck, fans them all out across a purple velvet cloth. Holding one finger up, Maggie is prompting Bond to pick on of the 25 cards (in sequential order 1-25 left too right pick a card)

Next too the arguing couple

Homer stays staring off blankly as this strange woman approaches too give UN provoked relationship advice, knowing this will only bring him more trouble.

Marge has a look in her eye that is emanating fire and glowing red with anger for the abrupt interruption by this unknown woman. The only thing stopping her from blindly attacking the strange woman was the few moments it was going to take her to finish the newly offered drink. Marge was a heavy drinker, and could handle her habit well. but it was exactly that a habit. having already drank enough booze to kill most Pirates, the addition of 3 extra drinks had started to slur her speech and she developed a constant sway.

Marge: LiiSten her Floosy ... NNo one AXEd yOu abOut foR help ..YooUR ProbBaluy WhY my Husaband LEEEavs at NIght!

The pissed off drunk was anything but reasonable or listening, attempts to be logical seem to only upset her

Well it seems that there should not be much more to having her pass out. "My apologies for butting in so suddenly, allow me to buy you a drink as an apology and you can tell me your side. I assure you I have only just arrived to this island to transport goods."

Solitaire proceeded to buy another long island and gin tonic. Setting them both on the table, she hoped that Marge would drink both of them much like she had when Bond offered originally.
Hopefully she won't go much longer, Homer does something at nights perhaps it is something useful.

Mid Town/Peasant town


The town in quite large, wrapping around the front face of the mountain. The edge nearest the only path up or down the mountain(where Weil is) is the industrial district. The place where the Islands goods and exports are manufactured/processed (the distillery, blacksmiths, wood shops, metal/stone work, things of this nature.

Traveling further in you will reach the Living District. The place where nearly all of the Islands inhabitants resided, this had hundreds of homes, market, bars, dining establishments, things of that nature (think a small town).

Just past the Living District you'll find the Rural District. The place where food is grown, livestock raised, lumber, quarry and mining work too.

(Tho since the new chief has taken over most of the islands commerce has stopped, the People are being choked out by the Pirates rule. and the once flourishing Island is now poor and shell of its former self)

The Crowd around Weil disperses, as the Booze retrieval team fades off in the distance. The Whale Fishmen has aroused a little suspicion, the people of the Industrial District probably wont be of much help, also the booze team will be back in two turns and will not be as kind if they see Weil again.


At Maggies Table

Otis said:
Bond smiles, and points to a card near the middle. (Number 16)
Maggie pulling out the suggested card, keeps it face down and slides it in front of Bond, tapping it the shaking her finger as if too say do not look/turn over. She then quickly shuffles the deck and separates the cards into Three different piles of 8x cards in a Triangle pattern and again prompts Bond to Pick a stack. The point of the triangle is aimed at Bond, while the base two piles are nearest maggie.

The drinks arrive and Like she did before, Marge proceeded to grab both, but first again yelling at Homer for his "alcoholism" This time mush less audible. Marge Quickly drinks the Long Island Before responding too the strange lady, Just about the time her drink was cunsumed it was like she was struck by Lightning, and went from wobbly to stiff and standing still. This action perked up Homer a bit, Marge then proceded to sit down and started slowly sipping the other drink while he let Solitaire have a piece of her mind...

Marge: WwwhhuwwwwuuutDOyuKNNNNowW! Gud TRANNNssportER, YURRRrr YUr yur NOthiNg, NNNNot leik LIKE MEeeeee... IIIMm sum ... ... ... BODY !

Marge just about finished with the second drink starts to nod off, This makes Homer very animated. Quickly getting up he grabs his hat, and starts to position his passed out Wife in a way that she not looked blacked out (sitting up, hands on the table, hat low over her eyes still a bit slouched. Getting up from the Table he reaches his hand out too shake Solitaire's hand in grattitude.

Homer: Thank you for that, and for the drinks, I hate to run, but i get so little time "away" from my wife. I usually cant get her too pass out till late at night, but thanks to your deep pockets I can catch the meeting earlier today!

Gathering his things Homer starts too leave the Tavern in a quick pace....

After pirates left the scene , our fishman stood there for quite some time. Weils eyes weren't the sharpest, but they could still see poverty and destruction caused by Bellamy. Suddenly Cp agent heard voices of his henchmen from behind.

Jan :
Boss ...why didn't you beat them?
Michael : yes boss. They really threw mud at you. We wanted to teach those bastards a lesson but you ....
Weil: Stop right there both of you. My Pride is easy thing to swallow compared to those guys . Look at poor people around you ,because of lawless pirates chaos resides in their homes ,but now we are here to bring justice on the table. Fortunately ,encounter with those morons gave us some clues about Bellamy. Those three were transporting lots of alcohol . It's an ordinary thing in the pirate life, but still gives us a vague idea what kind of discipline our foe has.Surprise Attack will give us huge advantage over unorganised enemy . Do you get it ?
Jan : Boss I didn't know you that you were so smart.
Michael : What should we do?
Weil: Firstly screw you Jan uwwaaa llllllaaarrrrssiiiiii (you asshole ). Secondly we already saw where those three went. I want both of you to stay here and watch over that passage coming down from the hill ( Bellamys base is there). If those guys come back find and notify me. I'll go deep in the town, and ask some questions around in markets and bars.
Jan and Michael : understood sir.

Fishman left industrial area and went towards inner town to buy some water for gods sake and find more about Bellamy pirates.

Dante was siting with Bond listening to the conversation

Come to think of it where is Weil?...He was supposed to be here

Dante: "Oh Bond, have u seen the big Wailer he normally passes through these parts?"
Dante winks at bond hoping he would understand the code.
Dante:
"Maybe we should go and look for him, maybe he got bumped by another women and is drinking himself stupid in the gutter".

Bond does not flip over the card, and then points at the pile to Maggie's left. Taking a sip from the drink he had ordered, he was actually surprised by the level of skill in its creation after the the mess that was his whiskey neat.

Bond turns from looking at Maggie, and over to Dante. Dante is right, Weil should have been there by now. I don't like it, perhaps we have gained what we can from this bar anyhow, time to move on.
"I haven't actually, odd that. He does usually pass through and he loves his drinks. Might he be at a different bar perhaps? We should go look for him after this reading is done." Bond motioned to Maggie handling the cards.

Portgas D. Xatch said:

It happened quicker than Solitaire thought it would. The woman passed out and her husband seemingly an old hat at the event positioned her in such a way that no one would be the wiser. Homer proceeded to get up at that moment. Meeting? I need to talk to this man or at least see what he is up to. Solitaire shoots a glance at Bond,
"I think I am done for the night brother, I fear I may have to walk the streets just to sober up." Giving a small tilt of he head in the direction of Homer, Solitaire starts to walk out.

Bond smiled and nodded, looked back at Dante and nodded, Then focused his attention on Maggie.

"Well soothsayer, it seems that the night soldiers ever onward. What might it have in store for me?"

Mid/Peasant Town, Living District


The market is pretty empty, but has a few people to interrogate, their is; Fry Is a simple beggar who isn't too bright. Market supervisor Hermes, a strictly down too the point no nonsense boss of the area. Cashier Amy who only talks to people in the short time it takes for them to check out. And lastly an elderly old man with dementia Hubert, and his rude Nurse Leela. The market has very little too offer, but basic supplies are available. The people of Living District are not used too seeing anyone new let alone Fishmen, most people will be suspicious and keep too themselves unless they have reason not to be.

Port Bar

Since your last post didn't need a response feel free to post again.

Port Bar
Homer and Marge's table


Homer leaves the Bar, and Solitaire follows moments later...

At Maggie's Table

The silent woman selects the appropriate pile and discards the others. Shuffling the cards she then lays them out in a horizontal line.
she flips over the first card.
Spoiler: First card
Maggie points too the card then Bond
Spoiler: Second Card
Maggie points all around, not too say the room but the island as a whole
Spoiler: Third Card
Maggie's face changes too a more interested and concerned look
Spoiler: Fourth Card
Maggie watches Homer as he exits the Bar
Spoiler: Fifth Card
Looking puzzled, Maggie starts to pantomime a Whale, but doesn't know why....
Spoiler: Sixth Card
Maggie mixes up the remaining two cards and once again Prompts Bond to Pick one of them. (left or right)

Bond starts to put together what Maggie is trying to indicate by each card, and the story that she was telling. Bemused Bond drinks the final bit of his drink and picks the right card.

Bond picks the right card, Maggie discards the last card and flips over the 7th card...

Maggie oddly starts smiling, she gathers all but the face down card in front of Bond, gets up, walks over to Bond, pecks him on the cheek and exits the Bar.


As she exits the bar, she gestures on last thing too Bond.... (turn over your last card motion)

Weil found the market he was searching for , however place didn't exactly Look secret holder or something special .
Well at least I'll have a drink before heading towards otis and dantecazador . My race and height isn't really helping me eith........ oh SHIT ..... Bingo.

Before entering small market Weil tipped 690 berries to beggar.

Weil
: If you want additional money concentrate and answer my question when I come out of this place.
Agent opened the marketplace door .First thing fishman saw was busy Cashier
ughhh this woman is not available now.... Gotta find higher up for my plan.... I think this guy should be him.

Weil: Mister do you want to become rich fast? I'm here for couple weeks and would like to earn some cash. Strong and fast fishman like me can deliver you everything, expect sea kings. .....

Agents face suddenly saddened
Ah just realised that whole island is in ruins ,no one would have enough money to buy food from us. And by giving up fish freely you would only get worthless favours. Sorry for wasting your time ,but still if you want to test me give up free water .

Mid Town, Living Quarter Market


As the Fishmen approaches the Marked entrance he stops first and drops an odd amount of Beri into a beggars cup (690B) Telling him there is more too come the Beggar gets excited and calls out too the Fishmen " Thank You! Mr. Sir. Man. Guy"

Inside the Market

The Fishmen briefly scopes the place out, before looking for someone "in charge" too try to enact some type of reconnaissance plan. After Weil approches Hermes, He pitches the idea that his services should be paid or at least sought after, and ask the manager for free water to demonstrate it.

Hermes: FREE?!? water? NO sir.... We can't stay open if we give our products away for free! If you have no money or are just here too find work, I'm sorry but I must ask you to leave... With barely enough customers to cover the taxes, we cant afford "contract" work...and IDLE CHATTER! so if you aren't a customer you must LEAVE!

Bond looked at the cards in their collective,
well this certainly was not a waste of time.

Bond walked over to where Bart sat, "Hello sir, do you need anything else, while I am up? Or did the drink hit the spot?" Bond looked over at dante , giving a small shrug, If Dante wished to look for Weil it might be good. Weil should have been here by now, and Solitaire was following a potential dissident. Not much else to do in this bar.

"I am worried about Weil, perhaps you should go see if he is wandering around at that other bar, I will be along soon" Bond smiled turning his attention back to Bart for a moment to see if the old drunk had anything to say.

Oh jeez , what kind of idiot would say no to that opportunity?? I thought my "Definitely good plan" now would work.. Ill give it a last try before failing like a fool.

Weil suddenly put his index finger in the mouth. After wetting it, fishman then lifted arm and hurled droplet of saliva towards water bottle.

Attack went through the bottle and even pierced the wall.

Weil:
This easily could have been some delicious beast of the sea ,but it seems that we have different understanding of the word business. If you like this barely paying job good for ya. Anyways give me 2 bottles of water . Ill pay for that and collateral damage too.

Mid Town, Living District, Market


The Market Supervisor stood in shock as the giant Fishmen put a hole in his building and merchandise. Wanting to yell but also some what intimidated Hermes stammers a bit too himself, Re-leaved that the Fishmen is paying for the Damage and trouble, Hermes walks towards his office to calculate the costs, turning to yell back..

Hermes: Its not that I wouldn't appreciate your services, I cant pay you, nor can anyone around afford fresh fish... ill be back with a bill...

Hermes retires to his office. Weil holding the waters is standing somewhat aloof when he hears a meek voice call out...

Amy: I can help you on register 1 Sir..
(waving to the whale in a signaling manner)


Lower Port Tavern
Bart Babbling on about random things too himself, when Bond approaches. Bart looking really confused...

Bart: Who are you? what drink are you talking about.. (Bart starting to smile) OOHhh you must have talked too my twin brother...Bort... I just got here you never gave me an old fashioned... But if your good for one, you might as well get two and share it with me! (he means share a drink with him)

Lower Port, Outside the Tavern

Homer walks to the end of the road, lights a cigarette while looking around as if too see if hes being noticed and turns down a dark alley abruptly. The alley way is dark and winding, he disappears from street view quickly...
