Text Key will be present when Arie Inieta and Arcana are involved

We begin our story in a dark room as a silhouetted man is sat back as he puffs revealing he's smoking a cigar as a Den Den that is positioned on the table beside him. As the night blossoms the radiating light from the moon illuminates the room of the wardrobes against the wall, light blue rug.

Though despite the room being illuminated the silhouetted man is still silhouetted to still keep his identity a mystery.

The silhouetted man puts out his cigar with the ashtray next to the Den Den then raises his hand as he sighs before lifting the top part to start a call, as he waits before an answer can happen he stares up in the ceiling as light beams off a circle like thing placed on the table which was blocked by his shadow.

This would be the conversation that would cause ripples of chaos that would consume the world as the call begins.

Silhouette Man: "I think we need to move and speak out on the bullshit the Gorosei as well as what that Imu are doing, they are acting like we dont know but we do"

Den Den Mushi Call Receiver: "Your right there, then how about we checkmate them before they even get their ass outta bed"

As tentsion arose of the nature of the conversation a moment of pause

Den Den Mushi Call Receiver: "I suggest we set them free"

Silhoutte Man: "I like the idea, i'll call you in the morning. It's about time us Celestial Dragons make the world ours again, the Original Kings."

As it feels as if the screen pans out revealing the conversation took place in a room from the Saint House the name was blocked off to prevent the name being revealed, the house was located in Mariejois then we avert quickly to Marine HQ's.

Marine HQ's

Since the conversation that took place in Mariejois not even 15 mintues since then we head to the ports of the HQ's we the night skies up above as we see a shooting star and some asteroid showers as the light illuminates the seas below catching the attention of a ship below belonging to the marines.

We see on the dock of the ship a giant wearing his traditional white robe is customized, with yellow colorings and some red borders. Carrying awarded medals on his left breast, signifying his important rank and status. Also wearing a red bicorne hat with the Marine's symbol. Underneath that, he wears an orange shirt, simple loose pants and boots.

The giant is the Marine Officer John Giant a Vice Admiral from Marine Headquarters.

Just as we see him he is alerted but his reaction could not help him for what was to come as the skies turned a further dark as it beamed down as a shadow of a man could be seen.

Shadowed Man: "Tonight i will baptise the world by getting rid of sin, you filthy fucking giants ... you guys should not exist."

As he slams his hand against his head and drags his body up in the air then slams him back down smashing the ship to smithereens then tossing his body in HQ's sleeping rooms for higher officials

This alerts all the marines waking them up as they all get up shocked at the sight of a Vice Admiral face drenched in blood with bruises and a black eye throbbing as veins could still be seen, was this an attack on the marines or was this a check and warning?

This alerts the Admirals and Fleet Admiral who come rushing, as they do they sense another who lands in the centre of all the Marines from HQ's, he grabs the Vice Admiral by the throat choking him as the Fleet Admiral opens his mouth.

FA Akainu: "I wont tolerate this bullshit, stop it or i will stop and kill you where you stand. I wont have anyone making a mockery of the Marines, scum"

The shadowed man lowers his grip and hand throttling the Vice Admiral then gives off a smirk then moves fast enough behind Akainu and whispers.

Shadowed Man: "You already know who we are, we've been watching you making a mockery of us and we are making our move we no longer will be watching."

"Don't you think its time the Humans exterminate the vermin other than Humans?"

The Attacker grins then vanishes as Akainu grits his teeth and orders some medical aid for the fallen Vice Admiral.

We cue to the morning as a report is incoming in the early hours of a Noble issuing a release of a certain prisoner from Impel Down which was the only beginning.

"Thinking / Thought process"

In the middle of the passage way with trees and flowers turning amber falling we see a young looking tanned-skinned youthful looking guy with white hair and similar coloured eyes. Also with his long hair tied into a ponytail with also wearing the traditional white robes with his two swords fastened to his left side.

The young man named Arie Inieta a Bounty Hunter, as he had some sake bottle tied around his forearm as he unties and then takes a sip

*Gulp ... Gulp ... Gulp*

"Ahhh that was nice" as Arie drank some of the sake as he uses his other hand to wipe some of the sake off his face.

Arie who has a scroll of wanted posters he opens it up though not before putting the lid back on the bottle and tying it back up.

"So this is Gambit huh? and this is T-Bag" exclaimed Arie as he then pulls out a Den Den

"Hey its me, i think i may need your help anyways i heard he's at Skull Village" as Arie looks a little more serious

*Hic ... Hic*

"I need some more alcohol"

Not known to Arie he was being followed as we see some rocky landing to the sides that steep up around waterfalls revealing two people with white robes and empty white looking masquerade masks, they weren't just anybody but they was Cipher Pol Agents.

Cipher Pol: "We may need some assistance, capturing T-Bag will be simple but Gambit maybe one to watch out"

Sailing Away

Everyone knows that Landayan Morow is Gambit but nobody knows just yet how he turned out to be The Gambit. All we know is he is a human who was born a prince in a tropical archipelago in East Blue, called Encantadia.

Encantadia

This country is said to be the land of the fallen angels as the land is rich with minerals, enchanted forest, and above all, the people who lived here possess different characteristics. Some can control the elements, others know how to manipulate the minds of the people, there are few who are as tall as the giants, and there is certain tribe who has wings like an angel.

It has four kingdoms: Adamya (the land of the dwarves and giants, keeper of the earth crystal), Lireo (the land of witches, keeper of the wind crystal), Sapiro (the land of conquerors, keeper of the water crystal), and Diablo (the land of the evils, keeper of the flame crystal). Aside from the four, there are two small tribes who remained autonomous for many years, millennium; one is the Askano Tribe (land of warriors, weapon specialists), and the Avila (land of winged race, guardians of the heaven). The Hathoria Kingdom and the three kingdoms remained allies among themselves until a certain incident that occurred 70 years ago. Landayan's great grandfather, Hathorn, betrayed them by killing the Queen Sahaya of Lireo, becoming a sworn enemy of the other kingdoms which eventually ignited an all-out war.

Hathoria lost against the three kingdoms for they possessed thrice the number of soldiers they had and the three holy elemental crystals which enabled them to manipulate the elements it represents: water, wind, and earth. Hathoria had but the flame crystal which wasn't enough to outclass the enemies. With that defeat, this kingdom lost everything including King Hathorn himself, three of his four sons, their wealth and other resources, and majority of the land. Only three individuals had survived the aftermath, Prince Hagorn, his wife, Lady Minea, and their son, Lord Ramone. They were exiled in an island prison (Puniabwe) where nobody resides but wild animals. For 40 years, nobody was detained in that island. Ramone was already 40 and his parents both died at the age of 70 due to an illness.

Due to depression, Ramone tried to commit suicide by drowning himself in the ocean. For two days, his body was afloat in the water until he was found miraculously alive lying on the shore of Lireo Kingdom by Princess Novy. The princess never knew that it was the former crowned prince. She treated his wounds and took him in a secret place and took care of him until finally, he recovered.

Ramone knew the story behind their exile but never even cared about it for he knew that it was his grandfather's fault. He didn't tell this secret to the princess until they fell in-love with each other.

The Queen Lirea II learnt about this and she ordered the Knights of Lira to capture Ramone and executed him in front of the princess. This had poor Novy depressed and almost lost her sanity.

The science and technology department of the kingdom has suggested to treat the princess by injecting a newfound technology which bypasses the effects of depression by erasing its memory. The Queen declined this offer at first but was later convinced by the King Lakan to do this as they couldn't afford to lose her. Little did they know, she was carrying her son.

When they knew about the pregnancy, the medical team was alerted as they were aware of the complication it might give her. They tried to reverse the serum by injecting another set of drug in order to diffuse its effect but it only worsen her condition. Notwithstanding, it would guarantee the safety of the child.

8 months later, she gave birth to a very cute baby. They couldn't talk with the princess because of her condition. As the princess held the child in her hands, gave him his first kiss on the cheeks and the forehead, she smiled and took her last breath. The Queen mourned and almost wanted to kill the child but the king saw her late princess in him. The baby cried and suddenly a mark on his forehead appeared, a glowing diamond emblem, the symbol of peace among the four kingdoms of Encantadia. Seeing this, the king then decided to name him as such, Landayan, which means the deliverer.

He was raised as a fine prince, trained by the finest general of their kingdom, Hector, the Glam Rock, Art of Flaming Staff. As teenager, Landayan loved going to the mountains of Sierra Madre to hunt deer and search for some spices and ingredients as he also loved to cook, an influence to him by his grandfather. There were times that he went there alone until he discovered a century old man in the mountain, an elder of the Askano Tribe. He was later introduced by this old man to his people who welcomed him. It was also revealed that this tribe is the direct descendant and followers of his great grandfather's younger brother, Harmon who didn't participate in the rebellion against the three kingdoms but decided to withdraw their status and citizenship from the Hathoria Kingdom. The old man was Harmon. Harmon has a son named Hardin who taught Landayan the art of cards throwing.

At the age of 25, he sailed the ocean to seek adventures and desired to challenge strong fighters across the globe, without any consent from the kingdom. However, during his journey out of the East Blue, his ship was destroyed during a devastating storm. He was able to reach to a nearby lawless island where everything is illegal and every person is dangerous, the land of Assassins, The Poker Island.

Poker Island

Population: 1,102
Ruler: Gambit

This didn't shake Landayan as he favored this type of situation. He met a group of Gamblers who taught him how to play poker. 2 years later, his name rang across the island as a famous gambler and assassin, who later on gained the epithet of The Gambit, the leader of the Night Assassins.

During the commencement of his fame, he was receiving invitations from the nearby islands and even from other seas to play cards. He never returned to Assassins Island a loser. This made him even richer and made a decision to foster the youth in his island. He built schools, hospitals, hotels, and infrastructures to beautify the entire island and made it accessible to all. In only a year (his 3rd year of stay in the island), it became a commercialized city which eventually focused in trading and entertainment.

4 years behind the current timeline

"Lord Gambit! Lord Gambit! Happy 28th birthday! May the heaven and hell continue to provid you with prosperity and abundance. Thank you for all the things you've done for us. Without you, I wouldn't be able to step into a school but now, I am soon to enter high school. Take this gift on a behalf of the entire community. This one is crafted from the finest steel in this island and I am sure that you'd love your new Jutte.", said all the youth who surrounded him while he waa busy staring out into the space.

"Whaaa?! You know?! Come here now, you fools! You should have not even bothered giving me a gift. Yall should focus in study and that'd be the greatest gift I'd ever have. But thank you. I apppreciate it so much. It's beautiful! Thank you Miguel!", Gambit said, smiling at the teenage boy.

"Your welcome sir!", the boy responded.

Looking closely at rhe kid, he uttered some words to suffice himself, "Uhm by the way, I will have a little feast later and I want yall to come and join me celebrate my youth. Haha. Bring all the pretty ladies!!!"

"Hahahahaha! My Lord, come with us. Faster!!", Miguel continued.

"?!", puzzled, the lord still followed the kids to where they're headed and was surprised like a homeless child who just received a present from a stranger on a Christmas day.

"Happy 28th birthday Gambit!", said by all the people inside the hall Gambit has newly funded. There were over a thousand people who gathered in the area and all of them were smiling at him, thanking him for everything.

He was speechless, he was trying to speak but he knew that the moment he opened his mouth, his voice would crack and would start to weep like a child missing his mom. This was the first time he ever received such a warm welcome. Oh my god! These fools. What are they thinking? Dammit! I can't believe they love me like this. I hate this but I truly am thankful and blessed to have them. Those are his thoughts before he finally spoke up. "I uh. Welp, hehe. I am-", he paused for second, trying to contain his emotions. "I am truly thankful that you welcomed me here in this island. I remember almost dying that day but Miguel's parents saved me from that shore and here I am today, trying my best to return the favor that will never be repaid. There's no greater gift than having you all here. I hate saying this but I. I love you all with all my heart. Let's feast!"

As he did his speech, a man in his late 20's, as tall as Gambit, lean, dark, with shaggy dark hair "flecked with grey", grey eyes, and a stern pale face; was wearing a shiny tuxedo, hat, and black skinny jeans, boots, and two pistols were slowly approaching him from behind. Gambit quickly sensed him and slid his eyes to the side. "??"

Closing into Gambit, he opened his mouth, "While you're still here, I want you to know that there is an important matter you need to hear. The nearby island is requesting for your service.", said the man who appeared at his back.

Gambit rose to his feet, signaling the other man, "Aragorn, let's talk somewhere else."

As Gambit started walking, he was stopped by him, holding on to his right shoulder gently, "I must apologise but there's truly no time." Gambit merely looked down on his friend's hand on his shoulder. "Just how urgent is it that my party has to be jeopardized?", said the lord with a fierce look.

Narration for both Arie Inieta + Arcana

"Talking / Speech" For Arie
"Thinking / Thought Process" For Arie

"Talking / Speech" For Arcana
"Thinking / Thought Process" For Arcana

Arcana's Arrival - Chapter 1 (to be followed with Arie Inieta's Arrival)

We begin as a person cloaked in shadow and fog stops and stares at the city he approaches just 5 miles south of Skull Village where the waterfalls supplies the cities south of enriching water, however the water the south it goes the more the dirty the water gets. Because of this the harbors in the south engulfing fog, as once you enter you are swallowed whole.

The man smiles as he rests his hand with a hat seen from the shadow from the flickering radiant light that flickers on and off rapidly before dying out. The shadows are momentarily seen as he chuckles as he approaches the city that must not be named due to his murky past but this coincides with the mystery from the North.

As the man draws near the grey under the moon swallows everything below with a thick heavy grey blanket of fog. It breathes around every bricked up building as if swallowing every object then vanishing beyond every corner. It's as if God used a giant eraser eradicating what was once there to something that no longer exists into the thick blanket of grey dusty fog.

It was said long ago a kingdom that was smothered fog plus smoke is where the most ominous and inhuman evils occur as all are able to hide under the color of grey as if the kingdom purged in the veil.

As the man took his first step as he stood face to face from the early fog that engulf the border of where the city is he squints staring trying to see if he could but the squinting hurts his eyes as he shakes his head in response. The fog then begins to encircle around his leg reaching to his back as if placing a blanket around his shoulders then pulled him in or as if he got pushed in.

He walked and walked as he without sight saw a glimmer of orange that was not that far one could say only a few yards closely to 5-10 yards in which he squinted to see. As he approached the orange it was coming from the street lamp that was to guide anyone coming and leaving the city, just as he began walking from the street lamp he could hear whispers and echoes all around him but just as they came they vanished in the veil of fog.

MURDER MURDER was heard though as he approached more deeper in the concentration of fog around the eyes became less irritant though despite that the shouting of civilians whispered as the cloud of the veil of fog was hiding another sinister secret.

10-15 minutes later the man found his path to the nearest lodge that kept the fog at bay as he approached the stairs then down the stretching hall full of doors left and right he appeared to Room 215, using the key that was given to him turning the door knob to open the door as he swayed his head before he turn the flick of light closing the door behind him.

It was a middle aged man with purple eyes and long orange hair with extensions which are bleached at the tips and have some strands braided. He frequently wears light-blue make-up, which he uses to paint a tear drop under his left eye, and has multiple piercings in each ear—four on the left and three on the right—wearing thick silver hoop earrings.

Arcana's outfit is comprised of a yellow bow, a purple coat trimmed with gold draped over his shoulders and used like a cape, a black and lavender checkered vest with a white ruffled button-up shirt worn underneath, puffy short pants with diamonds on the seam, and black and white boots that reach to the knees and curl at the toes. He also dons a white gloves.

As he stayed the night as the moon went down the sun rose revealing the fog had gone, though as the sun rose he opened the door to his room revealing some dead corpses behind him a family you could say leaving them dead sitting on the sofa with a dead cat that would visit down the hallway. It wasn't only that but their final expression before their deaths could be seen with blood shot eyes as Arcana chuckled.

Purururu a Den Den Mushi vibrated within his pocket as he stretched to grab out "It's me" as the call was muted as the other side of the line could not be heard but we know what Arcana would say.

"By the way i killed the Cipher Pol who was chasing my tail, and Skull Island was it where i would meet a person that did i despise in my past was it" Arcana states as he raises both arms over his head stretching as exhales as it goes black to close scene.

Square Knot

A 20-meter cruise ship destined to dock in Skull Island contained an exclusive 100 passengers. These passengers are members of mobs, drug dealers, dons, mafia, bosses, political syndicate, etc. They are fearsome, powerful, and an integral force of nature and underworld. They run islands and its bureaucracy. They order killing of people and exterminate every threat to their family businesses. But in the frontlines, only their trusted weapons do the dirty jobs for them. Along with the bossses are their elite forces who specializes in different types of martial arts and weaponry. They are heartless, a standing flesh without a soul. A body without a feeling. Blood but lust. They're called the hitman, mafioso, gunner, assassin, punisher, or simply, the devils.

Several years ago, a man who used to work in a farm in an island in North Blue joined the family of Zobel de Ayala, a philanthropist, business tycoon, and a blantant drug god. Zobel had over a thousand agents and enforcers but only one of them was his most-trusted weapon, Teodoro Bagwell. He doesn't have any devil fruit ability nor a specialized martial arts. He only holstered a couple of pistols and a rope. They said that he would rather let the victim commit suicide than ending its own life with his hands.

During their journey to the Skull Island, he was tasked to search for something his boss wanted so badly, a sword of destruction and an information about a certain devil fruit.

T-Bag, who was standing in the mast of the ship was puffing a cigar and was surveying the entire horizon. And when mass of land suddenly emerged from the horizon, he immediately drew his denden mushi and contacted a man in the shadow. "Boss, Skull is meters ahead. I shall disembark before you and return with the treasure."

"Go.", Zobel responded before cutting the line.

As T-Bag stared at the nearing location, his thoughts became deeper as if something bigger than his tasks awaits.

"I am gonna kill you. I swear."

Arie Inieta's journey to the bar

The journey to the nearest pub bar wasn't that long but Arie walked as if he swaying as he stopped and rested himself amongst a tree of trees that was coming from the hill full of greenery. The greenery and trees had a line in-between by a road with a small walkway in between then on the other side more greenery and what looked as if was a farm.

Arie whilst seated his belly rumbled as hiccups became more though it was a condition but a very peculiar condition of him if he doesn't drink and is sober he becomes dehydrated and out of energy. Arie shurgged his knees up as he sat placing his arms around thinking how long before his next meal or drink. "I need to eat or drink ... " he thought.

Unknown to him he was being tailed by two Cipher Pol Agents to check his whereabouts as they vanished into the shadows though rarely visibly seen as they would vanish behind every shadow from the branches yet appear with no shadow.

Going back to the seated Arie he grabbed the trunk and lifted himself as he made a tumble of an action walking ahead of him before getting his ground he gazed seeing the skull as gave off a half nervous chuckle with a gleeful cheek of a smile. "Finally!"

Arie continued marching into the village finding the nearest closest bar which wasn't that hard to find with the signboard with BAR written on it though it radiated with bright lights letter by letter.

T-Bag Arrives

The cruise ship finally docked in the western port of the island and started to disembark some of its passengers. The porters were busy rushing to attend to the rich passengers, hoping to transfer their baggages safe and sound to their respective accommodations. Around 200 different vehicles came across the pick up points in the port, boarding these people to different locations. An eight-horse-drawn black calash appeared in front of Zobel and T-Bag and as soon it arrived, the latter quickly opened up the door for his master in which the former immediately went aboard and disappeared, leaving T-Bag and its wake a cyclone of dust waiting for the sound of the impeding chariot to fade before he go on his own.

[30 Minutes Prior the Arrival]
"T-Bag, I must insist that this is not going to be an easy mission for you as I have collated some intels from the underworld that people have gathered here today for the festival which means that there is going to blood everywhere, subtle or blatat, they will try to seek different crimes and punishments to fulfill their bloodlust. You should take care, we are not the only ones pursuing the sword and the information on that devil fruit. And above all, I have also heard that the royal gambler has been invited to play cards with the mafia bosses and he is not an easy one. I don't want any dealings with that guy, he and his assassins are quite dangerous and it's not our best interest to intervene with any of his operations, whatever that may be. In the meantime, if you ever come across anyone who tries to dance with you, repel from it and disengage from any battle until such a time we fulfill our plan.", Zobel told T-Bag.

"I shall take note of that. However, I cannot guarantee that I shall stay calm and just in a situation where my pride is at stake. I am your finest weapon and it's such a disgrace to dance away from battle. We're criminals after all.."

"I will leave half of it to you. I trust you more than anyone else."

As they finished their talking inside his master's cabin, the two went to go outside and enjoyed the final act the cruise ship was presenting on its deck, a Japanese Pop Girl Group-inspired song and dance called Sukida. The beat of the music was well-orchestrated and well-synchronized with the dance steps those five girls were doing. Probably the most elegant act they have ever seen their entire stay on the cruise.

"That girl is Karen. She's fat but fab! I love her.", T-Bag said while licking his lips left and right and giving that torturing stare at the lady.

"Nyahaha. Mine is Ayun! Simple but pretty. And she's got some mysteries in that meaningful eyes. I wonder how she sing songs with those emotions at a very young age. Wow!", Zobel said, pinching the butt of his prime butler.

"Arriving at the Skull Island. The Island that transcends the evils on earth. Democracy is something in nature but hypocrisy means anything in this culture.", said the captain of the ship as it went towards the port.

"We're here boss. Lemme gather your things."

[Back in the Skull Island and Current Happenings]
"Now that boss is gone, a couple of vodka may quench my thirst."

Arie Inieta's Bar Inspection

Arie upon seeing the BAR sign sighed in relief as his mouth became watery as he ushered the words "Finally i can get a drink" as he stumbled and dragged himself outside the bar. He raises his left arm pushes the door open as odour from the bar hit him as he dragged himself in seeing to his right a few people playing pool whilst some playing darts as others enjoying their drinks at the bar and others at their respective tables with service.

"This place in nice at least they will die with a smile, though do i kill them all before i get my drink or kill them after" Arie thought as he made his way to the bar as he was asked what he wants as he looks left and right then says he wants some "Whisky double shot with no ice" as he hands over some beri in exchange, placing his elbows on the table slowly resting his head over his hands.

Service was provided quite efficenetly as a glass with his whisky placed right in front, Arie stopped and stared at his drink then picking up the glass before taking a sip of it. "mmm thats nice".

As Arie was seated two of the CP members trailing him arrived though they also noticed another one arriving.

Arcana Arrival Part 2

Arcana made his way out of the smog city south of skull village thinking to himself who must have tipped the CP to trail him, "Which bastard tipped them off i was here now? who knew i came to this place for ... " as Arcana asks before leaving "How long before i reach Skull Village madam?" as he bows asking politely which he was responded with it should take him roughly 45 minutes away.

Arcana then looked at what was ahead of him thinking of when he will get his hands on Gambit, the man responsible for plundering his home and murdering his family.

T-Bag Hit BAR!

T-Bag was still standing near the port where Zobel and himself parted ways. He was scanning the entire vicinity and was enthralled with everything he just saw. "Wow! Alackaday! So many beautiful ladies here. Far more abundant than those in the cruise ship. Hmm.. Ima get one of those when I accomplished this mission."

He started walking and headed straight to the bridge which connects the western port and the heart of the island, The Skull Village. T-Bag continued to walk while his eyes are widened on the majestic huge skull n front of him which lie down at the bottom of the series of water falls being supplied by a range of mountains above the skull. Underneath the skull are villas which have its own operations of businesses. On the second layer of the hills situated the middle-class accommodation which lie on the green meadow, and on the top-layer lie the high-end villas which belongs to the underground world.

As he passed through the 30-level stairs, his thirst became wilder and would explode anytime if someone will bump onto him. "Viva!", shouted the man in front of a bar which has a BAR sign on it. "If that man approaches me, I am gonna throw his head to the skull in front of us", uttered by the thirsty mafioso. "We offer 50% discount to any man who can present a couple of pistols and a rope to us! And on top of that, a couple of ladies will surely be tabled by the lucky man.!!!", announced by the same man in front of the bar.

"That's exactly what I am possessing right now. I must hurry!" He ran as fast as he could towards the bar and the full stopped in front of the man. "Hey! Two pistols and a rope. Lemme in and get me that ladies and a round of vodka. I am thristy. Gimme a grill beef and potatoes, too."

"Yes sir! Come on in!", said the man.

T-Bag got into the bar without realizing that he was under a surveillance as soon as he arrived on the island. "We got him....", said the man over a denden mushi to a man in a shadow. "Gather as many information as you can. I want it smooth as possible. Don't engage or you won't see the sunrise once more. He is T-Bag after all...", the man on the other line responded. "Roger that.."

As soon as the conversation concluded, T-Bag was seen sitting on the table at the bottom right corner of the bar.. He was waiting for the vodka and the ladies to be served..

Arie's Day Out

Just as Arie finished his first sip he raised his left arm momentarily and said "One more please" as he licks his lips as he salivates as drool drips down from the left corner which he licks his lips. "Give me your menu too, i want some grub too" as he chuckles a little with a few hiccups that get disturbed with another arriving asking for drinks, grub and the ladies.

"Hic --- he sounds like my kind of man" as he stares smiling observing the man "Hic"

"Excuse me, can i get a few rounds for myself just enough to fill my bottle" Arie says over the counter as he walks off the bar stool as the bartender comes closer to him and takes his bottle to fill it in as Arie reaches back and throws some gold. "Hope this covers it!" as he hiccups again as the bartender fills the bottle and hands it over "You can forget the grub" as he stumbles and heads back out of the bar as he stretches the first thing he does leaving the bar.

As the village becomes busier as he sees more people up and about strolling up and down as Arie turns to his left leaving wanting to know where the nearest hotel is. As he walks by in a hump back way placing his hands into his pockets with the bottle attacked to his wrist hanging.

Not that far off the World Government Agents who are monitoring the situations as the Den Den is seen ending one of them stays as the other informs the other to retreat as the others will be arriving as she removes her mask but still in the dark. She also moves her hands into the light that could be seen a pair of Scythed War Fans as she chuckles removing the clothing placing it on a branch, wondering if its time.

Whilst one was getting ready the other has vanished as the scene changes looking up in the sky as if a person is flying as wind around the clouds rush and blow around the person looking down.

The Nights

Poker Island
Inside Gambit's room, Aragorn laid his back against the steel door, slightly bent down, crossing his arms, and staring at the other. It took almost a minute before Gambit stated a word, who was standing in front of the window, staring at the people of his nation. He lit a cigar and puffed deeply, breezing the smoke upwards in circles. "The mafia families are there?", he asked.

Aragorn pushed his back against the door and walked slowly towards Gambit, "and some more. This is a festival of the Skull Village and once a year, there will be a series of events that will take place in different locations, including a variety show, circus, a ball, a card game, lots of gambling, a parade of skulls, and of course, a dissemination of intels from the underworld. We have been informed of a graded sword that may be available in the island, and above all, a devil fruit that you will be very interested to have."

"!?...", he turned to Aragorn and widened his eyes and asked, "don't tell me they have-", he wasn't able to conclude his query when the other assassin butted in.

"You're right my lord.. They have that devil fruit.", said the man who suddenly emerged from the pillar of the room..

"Ibrahim!", a surprised Aragorn noted. How did you-", he asked the man who stands as tall as him and Gambit and has a short hair and wore sleveless brown clothes (with a cape) and wields a club to stun his enemies. He is 22 years old and has green eyes.

"Aragorn, has your senses began to decline with your prolong stay in the mansion? Haha! I can't believe you didn't notice me. Ugh, what's this?" Ibrahim bloated his own eyes in wonder when he saw a metal card pierced into his belt and a millimeter away from his skin. "Lo-lord Gambit?"

"Has your senses started to decline with your prolong stay outside the island? Tell me more about this fruit you two. I need an intel which will lead us further away from the rest. But before that, please call Andres and gather the twins. Prepare the yatch and we will depart by midnight. For now, let's celebrate with our people outside; they've been waiting for us.

Several Minutes Later
The three went out the room and headed back to the feast and joined their people as they celebrate Gambit's birthday. It took over 10 hours before almost everyone started going back to their own homes. This time, the twins arrived at the scene with their belongins that they will use in their journey to the neighboring island. "Luna! Io! we have been waiting for you. Did you bring the wine?"

"Yes Aragorn, we have it.", Luna responded. A 20-year old lady who has a long brown hair. She wears a black vested suit with a red dress shirt and black tie. It is all covered by a black trenchcoat. He wears her hair back in a ponytail and black sunglasses. Io, on the other hand wears exactly the same but her hair is laid down. She has a mole underneath her eyes. The twins stand 170 cm and both have grey eyes like their cousin Aragorn.

"Good job twins. As expected to the two elite assassins. The four of us will accompany lord Gambit to the Skull Island and try to retrieve a certain sword and gather information about his devil fruit. It's very important to note that that fruit means everything to him. We depart in half an hour! Or as soon as he gets here.", commanded by Aragorn.

Arcana's Driver Issues

Arcana spotted a two-wheeled carriage, the carriage of black colored with large wheels though it did look of a nobility due to the nice coloring as it was fresh and of high importance though Arcana noticed red liquid flowing out. Though that wasn't all a man replied howdy lifting his hat then looking at him smiling though the man's hand had red on it as the man quickly adjusted himself as if he was too quick that Arcana didn't notice. "Halt there driver" Arcana relays the message nice and loud, enough to have the driver stop as he hesitates then comes at him as not wanting to reveal the inside of the carriage which Arcana simply dodges then grabs his arm behind his back slamming him against the side of the carriage enough to have the carriage move. "I dont care what you have to hide in the carriage but whatever it is clean it then we move" Arcana says menacingly as he then threatens the driver "Get this done pronto or i'll fucking kill you and write your name on this carriage with your filthy fucking blood".

Just 10-15 minutes later, the driver washed the carriage as Arcana threw the corpses into the nearest dumpster as he then dusted himself then headed back to the carriage entering yelling at the driver "Take me to Skull Village, dont fucking take the piss by diverting to somewhere or any of that sort once im there i'll give you some gold" as the carriage moves due to the weight and power of Arcana as he seats himself grabbing to grab his Den Den out "Not long left eh? ... Gambit".

As Arcana clenches his fest as it triggers a frown as he sighs calming himself down reaching to his back pocket revealing a pack of cards, "How long has it been?"

That was Close

Inside the BAR, T-Bag was served of 6 bottles of vodka, roasted beef, and 4 dozens of pork barbecues, dressed with chilies, onions and garlics in a large platter about half the size of the table he was in. It is accompanied by a sizzling sisig made of pig's face and internal organs which was sauced by a mayonnaise and chili sauce with an egg on top. He started digging into the sisig after he scrambled the egg with it. "Aaaaah! Wow! This one's awesome. I can feel my soul leaving my body as it floats into the heavens with its mouth-watering taste. The combination of chili and mayonnaise is never heard of but I understand now why the term complement was made. My tounge burns momentarily due to chilies but the lemon I squeezed into the dish highly equalize the hotness. It's like I am in hell for a second then on the beach the next time I breathe. Damn! It's pretty perfect for this vodka.."

As he enjoyed his meal and drink, the stage inside the bar has started to light up when the DJ played a jazz. Seconds later, his eyes popped out in astonishment when 2 ladies join the stage and started holding onto the mirror, one after the other. They dance awkwardly and subtly began to mesmerize T-Bag as they danced sexier. Alackaday! This is what I have been waiting for... I don't need to table ladies now that I am watching this, his thoughts began to halt when one of the 2 ladies, the one with a short brown hair and bangs and wearing just a black seethrough nighties reached out for the pole and danced gracefully sexy.

"Oh my goodness!!! Nooo!!", he inadvertently shouted.. "Yeees!! Yeeeees!!! That's it baby!" His fantasy went even crazier, far crazier than the former when the lady who has long blonde hair, wearing a tight black pants, a suspender, and a police hat began twirking like Nami... "This dream!!!! Alas!!" Calm your shit Teodoro, this won't work on you.. He closed his eyes and battled against his ownself to hold back the sensation. He is drunk and couldn't understand himself. He clenched his fists and deeply breathed before he thought about his family. No... No... Noooooo.. Huff huff huff.. That was close.. Daaamn!!

He immediately grabbed the bottle of vodka after that intense sequence and bottomed up two bottles before he wiped his forehead... "Waiter! Another round of vodka please. And bring me those ladies after the dance... I will condemn them for a poor dance number. I was never a fan of this cheap entertainment!"

Back in the Poker Island, the 4 assassins welcomed the arrival of their lord who was walking slowly towards the shore.. He was wearing almost the same outfit as Luna's; a a black vested suit with a red dress shirt inside and black tie. It is all covered by a black trenchcoat. He wears his hair back in a ponytail and black sunglasses. This time, he was seen wearing his trademark fingerless gloves. He was wielding two juttes on his sides and a number of metal cards holstered around his belt. As he was closing in, a cold breeze blew towards his direction which made his trenchcoat fluttering upwards and danced with the wind. The four companies were watching him in a wondrous manner until he finally walked pass through them and kicked off the sands, hopping directly on the bow of the yatch. He drew his lighter, pulled and lit a cigarette before calling the out calmly, heavenly. "Assassins."

The four elites lined up, almost standing off against Gambit, all of them staring amongst the others for several seconds as their clothing and hair flirted with the ocean breeze. Gambit spoke, "Aragorn. Ibrahim. Luna. Io.", he turned to all of them. "Brace yourselves as it's not gonna be an easy assignment. We shall be dealing with other assassins, mafia, criminals, and above all, military presence is a 99% certainty. I require you to give your best foot forward."

Assassins: "Aight!"

He puffed his cigar and stuck it between his lips. He continued his sermon as he drew his jutte on his right hand before raising it, pointing at them, "In our lives, we will encounter saints, servants, sinners, and soldiers. However, success and strength are also for the grab. All my life, I have served my people as their ruler, I have saved people as their soldier, I sinned to benefit the land, and I acted as a saint to denounce the evil across the globe. What do I have in return?", he asked them, looking into their eyes one by one. It was a silent response from his assassins. They were smiling. "Triumph! Glory! And for you, similar things are waiting for you beyond that horizon. Greatness. Take it! It's yours!", he emphasized these words as he proudly declared his visons in front of his assassins, pointing his jutte towards the seas. "Everybody, set sail!. To the Skull Island."

Assassins: "Aight!"

Arie's Quest

As Arie left to search for the nearest hotel he bumped into a little kid spilling his ice cream over his clothing as Arie stared and then squatted down to the little boy, who had light brown hair with some freckles, a blue overall jeans, a bright red and white striped shirt with red trainers and white soles though with a bugger coming out the kids nose. "Sorry about that kid, how about i give you another cone as long as you tell me where's the nearest hotel. Deal?" as Arie smiled at the kid. The kid stared at first as it was a stranger and then turned around and ran away from Arie as Arie looked bedazzled "Was it something i said?" as he scratched in cheek confused. The kid halted and skidded as he turned around and shouted he better give him one at the festival by the skull near the waterfall as it was 323rd Festival of the Skull since the infamous incident one similar to the David and Goliath.

All Arie could do was stop and stare as he thought to himself of an festival of an initiation test for him to be a proud son from the side family of the Arie Family that would take place, it was an test of swordsmanship. These initiations were said to be dreadful and highly testing on the individual that had a huge risk in making all entrants go berserk, thus becoming defect children. As Arie thought of his very first test he turned his attention back to the kid and replied "Look forward to it" as he smiled.

Arcana's Journey and Backstory

As Arcana was in back of the carriage, he closed his eyes and thought of the past of when he and Gambit came from friendly royal family though unlike Gambit who was the biological son he wasn't as he was adopted into the family to nurture their child in become a model noble. Arcana and Gambit was two children of the same generation would regularly sneak into Arcana's adopted fathers chamber and watch him play cards as one day Arcana sneaked out some cards and played a friendly game with Gambit here and there, though this came to an end abruptly.

It wasn't that long later and the little adopted brother of Arcana the next in line was announced to be the 1st to the throne, Arcana humbly took this decision knowing he was never in-line so accepted his fate. However this wasn't others ideal candidate as a single night changed the events what was to come with the heir to the crown assassinated in cold blood with a leaving card of a poker card and a rose with a small letter.

As news broke of the death, Arcana paced himself with his family around him grieving over the death. All he could see was his younger brother dead laying on the floor with blood trails on the floor with a broken shattered window. Arcana roared in grief .... Just as he did in his dream/nightmare he woke up.

"How long have i been asleep for" he whispered sighing

"Driver how long?" Arcana asked the Driver as he mumbled as Arcana smirked waiting for the time to get his revenge and get some answers

2 hours has passed inside the bar, TBag was able to devour 20 platters of meat and sisig he had had, including 3 more rounds of vodka. He was tipsy as fuck. "Bill! Bill out motherfuckers!", he yelled at the waiters.. "Bwill out!" Sturdy as he always was, he didn't vomit. As soon as he settled his bills, he walked pass through the door, leabing the bar with smile. "Quite a night! Now it's time for somw rest. But wait, I can watch some festival fireworks first down the hill, near the end of the waterfall beneath the skull. "Ahhhh.. Some festival dance parade eh? Lemme see this shit.." As he went down further, he watched just how the dusk skies are covered with playful arts of fireworks, beaming and crackling one after another, adding melody to the already gay festival in the heart of the town. "Hahaha! Wonderful!", he said, smiling into the heavens. "My son." And suddenly, the atmosphere within him has changed abruptly as he remembered a tragedy not so long ago.. "Redfield!!!"

Arie's Day Chore

Arie after venturing to the inner festival that was just opening up he agreed to put some festivities up with a smile as long as he was rewarded some alcohol agreed to the deal. 2 hours had gone from arranging a water slide, a ferris wheel and a small roller coaster amongst many others including fireworks placing them in varying stages of the waterfall before the skull before them.

Puurrru Puurruu Purrruuu as den den was calling it was a call from unknown though Arie realised what it meant, a job to hunt someone down. "Its me, what do you want" Arie answered right after the Gacha. As we near the ear of Arie he hears the following, there's a man who calls himself T-Bag we want you to hunt him down he has some connections to two criminals namely one Gambit a Prince and the other Redfield. As Arie listens on he replies "Okay but is there anything i should know before i approach him" he replies as the other thing could be heard was no as the call ends as the den den's face and eyes go back into the shell. Arie simply sighed staring up at the skies reminiscing when the times use to be more peaceful but at the end of the day a job is a job.

A Tragic Past

Several years ago....... T-Bag and his family lived in a certain island in North Blue. He was a farmer and a ranch owner. They sold beef, cow's milk, dairy, amd even canned corned beef, lesser the price than anyone across the market. He loved to assist people and promote financial support to everyone who came for his aid.. He had a then pregnant wife and a 4-year old son: Danica and Romeo. On a certain evening, after they finished all their daily routines, delivery of the products they manufactured, a certain group of pirates conquered their place. These people started by burning the ranch and all the farm animals there. T-Bag rose from his sleep and gathered his things, his cowboy rope and his pistol. He also summoned his boys, 2 dozens of armed men to welcome their guests. "My dear Danica, you stay here with Romeo. My boy, be strong. Whatever happens here, I love you more than my life..", he left the room with a kiss on their forehead. "Boys! Let's go!"

Outside their house, the fire was beginning to spread out real quickly because of the straws and hays across the farm. The houses of his men were also engulfed with flames as they were made from light materials. "Waaaaaaaaaaa!!!", a scream coming from the townhouse. "Papaaaaaaaaa! Heeeeeeeeeelp!!", a louder sequence of massacre was heard somewhere. "Noooooooooo!!!!", and that's the last of the screem they heard from that area.. "Oh my god! Oh my god! Nooo!" Someone from his men sobered... The other whimpered in agony... "Aaaaaah-ha-ha-ha-ha.. Nooo!!" Most of them were frozen with what they saw and so.... His men stampeded towards the burnt area, all of them holstering their guns... "Noo! Wait!", T-Bag tried to stop them but they were all desperate to attack back... He followed... Several seconds later and just as before he caught up with them, he heard a series of gunshots.. Batatatatatatatatatatat.... "Whaaaaaa" Booooom... Boooooom.. Batatatatatatatatatatat.. And afterwards, a shadow of a winged man emerged from the flare, swiping off the lake of flames with his wing. A man from the past appeared in front of him, grabbing one of his men, sinking his fang into the neck of his man. "Who the hell are you?! And what have you done to our place? What do you want from me?!" As soon as he finished his questions, a gust of wind blew into his face and a piercing pain registered into his flesh; he passed out. The next thing he saw, he was already inside his room, tied up on the floor using his own rope.. He saw his child, dropped on the floor, his head broken, "Romeo.. Noo! Romeo!!! Aaaaaaah-ha-ha-ha.. Romeo...", he would continue to whimper until he saw his wife, grabbed by the neck, lifted up into the air, she was bitten in her neck, killing her instantly. And the beast dropped her body before stomping on the head of his dead son. He closed his eyes, and wouldn't open it up for a few seconds.. When he opened it, the beast is no more present..

Back in the present.....
TBag was wiping his tears, sitting all alone in the ferries wheel; he was currently at the topmost portion of the ride.. He breathed heavily, until he stopped whimpering.. He exhaled and panted as if he sprinted a couple of miles across the desert. He thought, I shall find you.. Whatever it takes.. Monster.. He grinned, and his eyes looked deeply shady while he licked his lips left and right. If I found you, I am gonna fire a bullet inside your head.. I am gonna let you suffer what you did to my family and friends.. The ride has stopped from wheeling and he was now at bottom of the ride. "Thank you for ride, sweetie. Can you tell me where I can play some cards or color games here?", he asked the ride assistant. "2 meters northeast sir. It's operated by a machine and you just have to buy some chips from the receptionist.", replied by the young blonde girl.

As he walked down the lane going to the gambling site, he decided to grab a refreshing soda from a stall who sells a variety of drinks. "Gimme a can of soda please." Daamn, I think I overdrunk again. Gladly there are some fresh chicks here to revitalize my manliness. And soda is always a great start to freshen up, he thought as the store owner handed him the drink. "Thanks! Here.. Keep the change."

Store owner: "Eh?! But you are short by 50 beri more.."

TBag: "Lulwut?! It says 200 and I gave you 200. How did it make me short?"

Store owner: "Service charge of 25%.."

TBag: "seriously? ! You scammer.. Here.. And die!"

Tbag's voice was too loud and the people around the area were looking at him and laughing.. As hr drank his soda, a boy approached him and asked him that he also needed a drink..."What do you need boy?"

"A soda just like yours.", he answered while displaying a kitten-like face. It's so cute that the mafia almost drop dead.

"ok. Fine. But tell me your name first." He bent over a little to look closely at the boy's face. "It's Romeo sir.", he answered with a beautiful smile.. "Guaah?!" TBag pulled himself backwards in astonishment after hearing his name. He thought, R-r-r-Romeo?! That's my boy's name.. "Hehe. Ok boy. Here's a thousand beri and buy whatever you want.. Be good, ok?!" The boy turned to him as he walked away, "Thanks sir! God bless you!"

At the port...
Gambit and his 4 assassins arrived at the port of Skull Island. "Boys, you ready for this?", Gambit asked his men in which they quickly reacted, "Aye!!". Turning his eyes away from the 4, he walked down the yatch and headed to their escort, "Well then, let's do this.." He smirked and nodded on the chauffeur before he commanded, "To the Little Vegas."

"Roger that my lord! Hiyaaaa!"

As the hordes of horses flew with their carriage, Gambit lit a cigar and spoke closely at the men. "Remember. This island is being observed by different organizations and their connections aren't something to disregard. Our mission is to obtain the sword and an information about the fruit. I have a bad feeling that something weird is about to cook.. Be careful boys. Be careful.."

Arie's resolve and thoughts

Arie headed right outside to the field to enjoy the peace that would come before the storm. Arie laid on the grass below as he looked around and grabbed a small piece of grass holding it to check if it was fresh placing it in between his lips as he looked up at the stars as he could hear the festival going into the night. Arie stares at the skies thinking of way back when he was little, an orphan who ran away from home hiding only for an certain event to take place in his hometown, the event that made Arie hate pirates and want to hunt them down.

Arie opened his eyes unable to relax and maintain concentration got frustrated as he frowned as his veins throbbed in annoyance. He then got up and walked back in the direction of the festival as he viewed more people arriving and a face he saw was a weird mask like arriving with a white jacket, white trousers and shoes. "Hmmm aren't those the type of clothes a WG agent wears? and why is one here for?" he thought baffled of what and why.

Arie rocked his head left and right to clear his thought process as he then sighed taking in a slow but elongated breath of air, he then re-affirmed himself of his next step "T-Bag where are you?" as he stared at the wheel from a far as it lighted the the dark night and clouds from his view point.

Arcana's arrival and intel

Arcana after asking asked the driver to pull up and killed him after being informed of he was only 5 minutes away from Skull Village. He patted his hands dusting himself off. He then turned around as he knew Gambit would be arriving soon "Gambit!" as he tightened his fist waiting for the moment he would meet his old friend and nemesis.

Purrrruu purrruu purrruuu a Den den began to call and vibrate as Arcana answered "Hello (Moshi Moshi)" as he could hear whoever was on the other line that there was something strange but a man who looked identical to the young prince namely gambit with 4 associates as the other was there was some world government agents patrolling the area. Arcana replied "hmmm interesting thanks for the heads up" as he then finished the call as the snail portion of the den den hid back into the shell.

Let's Get the Party Started

Still in the middle of the park, TBag was able to hit a jackpot in the color game when he placed his million stake on the white cube, winning 6 consecutive bets. He won 64 Million Beris. The croud yelled in excitement and wonder how this almost drunkard mafioso has won that easily. "TBag! TBag! TBag!", they chanted.. "Huehuehue! Alackaday!" All the people have now been focusing on him, if not most of them; smiling as if they are relatives of his, cheering in hopes that the man would give them something as a token, wondering if the man would scatter his prize all over the place as he was drunk. "Ok! Enough rolling! Release the money! I am outta here." And as soon as the banker handed over the money, he dished out into the air a million beri for the people out there, creating a big ruckus and ramble in that place. "Hahahahahahaha! Enjoy!", he walked out and would immediately head to the nearest inn to take a rest.

Inside a certain room, 3 people were waiting; one of them is a mafia boss whose name rose in fame due to his illegal business, his name is Michael Colombo! Another man is a famous boxer and a former pound-for-pound king, Floyd Gayweather. And lastly, a man of the hour, a man who loves to intricate fear to the other sovereigns, a bloodthristy politician, Dimitri Karpov.

"Here comes the prince. We have been waiting for you. What seems to be the delay?", Floyd asked as he turned to Gambit and exchanged glances to the other 3 big names on the table. He held his glass of wine of chuckled.

"My favorite boxer of all time. I always knew that Pacman wouldn't be able to pull something out against your top defense. You have always been the science himself when it comes to that sector. That's why I love you. Here's the reason for the delay. A box of wines (held by his assassins), manufactured by yours truly." He approached Floyd before shaking his hand, pulling each other in across their chests before tapping their backs. "Good to see you Floyd."

"Me too Gambit.", he responded before nodding at the 4 assassins behind the prince.

"Mikey! It's been a while. You still remember the last time we played? I need to tell you that I enjoyed owning that mansion that you gave me in return. I fucking enjoyed it. Wondring wjat you have for me after this game. Eh?", the other players chuckled as they rubbed their forehead.

"You boast too much this early? Who gave you a guarantee that you'd win this time?", Mikey asked.

"No one. I mean no one but the stars above. You always know that the deities are always at my aid. Hehe!"

Mikey grinned and sipped his glass of wine. "Boy! Can you refill this? Thanks!"

"Mr. Karpov!! Prime Minister of USSR. It's good to have you here. It's an honor to meet you at last.", he gave respect to the politician as he shook his hand. And as he channeled greetings to all the players and nodded on the card dealer. He ordered, "Shall we? Let's get the party started!"

Arie's Chance Encounter

Arie headed back noting how beautiful the place had been done with the lighting and designs, "Damn this place looks beautiful shame there's someone i have to hunt here meaning everyone here will play my hostage." Arie grabbed the bottle next to his waist and wrapped it around his wrist taking a gulp or two. "Now that i am drinking this it tastes a bit better than before shame i will them" he thought though as he thought this he overheard a ruckus not that far. "Man!" as Arie scratches the back of his head "This guy must me known ... !" he exclaimed though as he did it immediately caught his attention. "Known and T-Bag? ... Could this be him?" he thought as he followed suit "Well there's one way to know and thats asking him" he thought.

"Hey excuse me!" Arie yelled trying to catch the attention of the man as he raised his left arm in the air waving it.

Arcana's forever intel leaking

Just as Arcana received the intel his Den rung again Purrruu Purrruu Purrruu gacha "Hello (Moshi Moshi)" as the convo began with the leak of news of a certain T-Bag, his connections with Redfield the Human Vampire, the Vampire Devil Fruit and the fact that Gambit is spotted. "Thanks for the info, after all its good to know my connections in getting intel is good enough, i'll reward you for this though i am aware i did come alone here so i'll be careful." The man responded thanks and will call later if he hears anything as Arcana thanks the person "Thanks speak soon" as he ends his call placing the Den Den into his inside pocket.

"Finally i have arrived" Arcana says as he clenches his fist as he continues to walk into the destination of the village.

The Observers

Just outside the city near the forest near Skull Village. A shadow in the skies began to de-accelerate and hover back to the ground spotted Arcana as a the lights from the village due to the festival light up the surrounding as a white jacket can be seen, with spiky knee caps, some wings and a oni mask.

Whilst within the village another is spotted observing the movements of Arie Inieta and T-Bag, revealing another with a white like jacket covering most of their body expect the mask. It wasn't known at the time but this very individual was the one ....

Gambit · Oct 24, 2019

T-BagXArie

TBag get past the crowded gambling place and headed straight to the inn plaza, a place where you could suit yourself overnight, in a cheaper price. As he did, he surveyed the surrounding, locating town houses and shops still opened. He kept walking down the lane. Seconds have passed, he spread out his awareness around his person to its full extent and felt someone. Could it be you eh?, He thought before it began to approach him finally.

Gintoki said:
"Hey excuse me!"

TBag turned around, seeing a man who wielded 2 swords and wearing a white long pony tailed hair waving at him. As soon as he marked the face, he momentarily paused and licked his lips before turning and running away, heading to the 3rd alley across the Skull Lane, a place underneath the big skull itself. "Catch me if you can."

Back in poker room...

The room was full of intensity and it ramified from the red table where the four players were sitting. Sitting next to the lady dealer's let was Gambit himself, followed by Floyd, then Mikey, and on her right, Karpov. There's been a minute or two where they just stared against each other. Billions of cash did not give an added heat as the salt alone was already lit.

The red carpeted table lied at the center of the room as the chandelier was to the ceiling. There were five king's chairs surrounding the table and paralleled to these were four identical sofas lying a couple of meters away, where Gambit's four assassins were chilling, Floyd's four barbies were playing candy crush, Mikey's four henchmen biting their nails, and Karpov's four marionettes sleeping.

Whilst the music was playing, the dealer shuffled the car, tapped it down, and Gambit cut it; the dealer then dealt the card clockwise, starting from the prince. "Big blind on you Lord Gambit. 10 million."

Each of the cards were dealt facing down, one after the other. And as soon as the pirate received his cards, he groped it before flipping them. Two. Five of clubs, he told himself. He raised the blind by 7. "×7" *scoffed*. As he handed over the respective chips.

Mikey's servant gulped involuntarily after seeing this.

S-s-s-seventy million at first bet!? That's insane!, uttered by Ibrahim as his eyes popped out miles away in awe.

He must have been dealt a nice pair, thought by Lanaya.

Floyd immediately folded and glanced at his friend. He followed it up with pouring a glass of wine on the rocks, stirring it as he looked now at Mikey's turn.

"Raise by 2!", he said as he channeled 140M chips.

"Fold", Karpov said.

"500M.", he challenged.

Everyone in the spectators seats: What the fuck?!

"Call". Mikey responded.

The dealer held onto the cards and landed the flop. Gambit looked at the community cards and they got King of Hearts, 4 diamonds, and an Ace of Spades. His eyes grew mountain. Did he fuck up or not? We don't know. He drew and lit a tobacco from his pocket, pufffing it upwards before looking at his cards. He smirked and channeled his sight to his opponent, "Last time, our first set, I had a highcard, you got full house 7, you fold. *scoffs*. I mean, you're coward. You can't play. You know what I mean? Huh?" He smiled, puffed again before looking at Floyd and Karpov. "Ok.. Here's what I am gonna do.", he went back to his chips before pushing some equal to pot. "Let's try this. Hehe.."

"Call!", Mafia boss said.

Everyone in the spectators seats: What the fuck?! That's already 3 biilion worth of pot. Wo-wo-wo-wow! All of them were holding their cheeks..

And then came the turn. Ace of hearts. At this point, the other was holding a trio as he had, Ace of diamonds and a 9 of hearts. Gambit checked. Mikey didn't as he raised the bet to another pot.

"Hahahahahaha Mikey! You never learnt, did you?. That was intentional. I knew you'd raise. I knew it." Fuck it Gambit. Once it flipped other than 3 of any kind, I am dead, his inner shit contemplated. "Call!".

Ibrahim: "9 bi-" *spanks*

And finally the river........ 3 of spades....... Gambit pressed his cigar against the ash tray killing its ember before showing a somber face. He brushed his hair up and pour a wine, sipping it before looking at his cards once more and faced it down... He was blinking his eyes outside the table, almost staring into the space. He checked and looked down.

"All in!!!!!!", boasted the other.

Landayan was shaking his head slowly against his cards, wondering if he would call or not. He did. "All in..", a very solemn response but he knew it's part of his bluff.

The showdown happened...

Everyone in the spectators seats: What the fuck?! That's already several biilions worth of pot. Wo-wo-wo-wow! All of them were holding their cheeks.. *badump* *badump*

Mikey: "trio aces", as he tried to reach out for the pot.

Gambit: "straight.", and he stared at Mikey for a brief period of time. He collected the chips.

Karpov: "nice hand!"

Floyd: "this time, I win"

Mikey: *exhales deeply* looking at Gambit. I am gonna kill you Gambit.... I swear..
