At the bar Riena's ears perked at the cat fellow's verbal assault on Cerulean and the whistling weirdo. She smirked while facing the bar, happily counting the drinks. The cat was certainly interesting, if not a little reckless. If her tater buddy was put off by the star fellow, then what was he thinking barking at strangers who could give you tickle feelings just by being present. Now he was seething with rage, a non too good feeling. Even her years in the north blue with all the grouchy jerks who hated the cold, could have hardly compare to this guy. " hey bar keep, T-0-T-Z", she said, grabbing his collar as he stared into space.

The man stammered and fumbled, moving quickly to prepare the tots as her superior slipped out of the limelight for a moment;ending up next to Reina. She skillfully, no instinctively reached for a drink and drank it all in one go. Reina offered her another, nodding her head at her whisper. " Well Mam you be the knowledgible one here. I'll follow yer lead", she whispered back, as if it wasn't already her duty to do so in the first place. Reina was pretty bad with remembering rank and got yelled at a lot. " Anyone as cool as you, coupled with the tot loving is trust worthy in my books". She said, gesturing to herself with her erect thumb.

It was not more than a few moments later that the people making a commotion earlier would make their appearance in the bar as well. Just as Reina expected, they were big burly men and clean cut marines with a strict look upon their faces. Flat and without emotion, you would think they were cyborgs or something. Reina with her index finger, turned to count the newcomers, " 1,2,5,---6--9---10? Shit I missed one. Hope they don't get too offended Mam". With one arm she supported her weight, pushing down upon the slippery bar counter and ended up next to the bar keep. When the other guys were busy surrounding them, she pour two more drinks and slid them to the nearby marine and samurai who positioned themselves around 6 feet from either side of the counter. In addition to this she grabbed the half prepared plate of fries in front of the terrified bar keep, who was the only awake civilian in the room, shivering and swaying with fear.

She grabbed a few tots and slid the plate to cerulean. Her gaze now affixed upon the cat and star fellow as she ate each potatoe wedge with anticipation. " mmm, pretty good".

Landru looked over his shoulder as the girl who had been so full of energy before left him, leaving with a rather cold patch in the back of his head. He was wearing barely anything while soaked in beer and now, completely alone. Perhaps he didn't enjoy her presence, but the fact that she had a personality at all was a miracle in the Marine's, usually it's just full of moron's with sticks up their asses who can't take so much as the slightest word against them. Perhaps he would try and find her after this whole mess and call her an idiot some more, she seemed to respond pretty well to that sort of thing.

His eyes lazily turned to the door, the flash of heat that had spurned on his actions turning down to a simple simmer, the memory of a fighting spirit rather than the fighting spirit itself. Ten men stormed in, apparently to protect the small child. "What, can he not handle a drunken shouting match on his own?" He asked aloud, not expecting any form of answer as he was surrounded on all sides. They each had weapons, some of them multiple. Or did they? He couldn't be quite sure, there was a lot of confusion about that in the past, something about someone complaining for a pay rise. It wasn't his business, so he left it. Locking eyes with the creature before him, he continued. "It would seem that you're as stupid as you are short. I'll speak slowly as not to confuse you. I will not apologize to you, nor do I intend to ever do so. If you've got a problem with that, I would recommend you either relieve me of my rank or cut down an innocent man in the middle of a busy bar. I will give you the kindness of a warning, however, there are those who might not be too happy about that course of action, those who might decide to do something about it." He shrugged his anorexic shoulders, his arm rubbing at the back of his neck. "So I'll leave that one up to you to figure out." With that, he turned moving between the awaiting men with the possible weapons, sitting down to the right of the cat faced girl and the one who had been yelling previously about potatoes of all things. Shakily, his hand extended, grabbing a wedge which went down so quickly he didn't even have time to taste it. "Do you know if these are cooked in the same pan as the meat?" He asked his two seated companions, something that he probably should have thought about before.

Reina frowned at the minkman's disgraceful dialogue, her eyes trained on him as she sipped on her drinks none of his guards bothered drinking. Slouched in her stool and leaning against the counter, she continously sipped on the drinks during all the commotion. Her body felt loose, arm loosely hanging with a shot glass as Cerulean chastised the minkman. She nod her head at rear admiral's spiel, both reasonable and hopefully effective. I really am getting hungry now Reaching back she grabbed another handful of tots and stuffed her mouth with the potatoey goodness when mister star was still acting up. She felt the slow burn of the potatoes forcing themselves down his esophagus with tears welling in her eyes. Reaching for anything on the counter she washed the wad of potatoes down with some good ol fashioned water. Reina wiped her mouth and stepped forward past both Cerulean and the minkman.

With a stern frown upon her face she sauntered before star and looked him straight in the eyes. Unable to hold herself up anymore she fell flat on her tooshy and continued staring up at star. " Oi mister big shot star guy, you be making a mockery of yer own position by yerself". She lifted the water bottled and shook it forth back at him, its contents splashing the floor around him. " Rank's suppose to be used to do good things for the people. it ain't suppose to be used to punish peepil fer no reason. If you really be worthy of yer noble blood, then act like it". Leaning on her free hand she pointed at cerlean with her bottle, splashing her a little. " Ceru knows how to be dignified. yer just using rank to pad yer massive ego". As she finished she made a wide arc with her hands, arms outstretched to her left and right, indicating how big headed she thought he was.

The weight of his actions was beginning to dawn on him. The fact that it had taken so long was only a sign of his failings. Allowing himself to be lead by the girl on shaky legs. Moving on automatic, he sat to the right of the cat faced girl, with the seemingly autistic one too busy ripping out the kids ass. He leaned in close to her, speaking in a low voice so only the two of them could hear. "Thanks for that. I'm not quite sure what I was thinking." It was probably the only genuine thing he had said all night. Actually, now that he thought about it. Maybe most of the higher up Marine's were a bit on the spectrum, they didn't seem to understand how normal people interacted at all, it was always based on strange logic or over explaining yourself to a fault. It was one field where he admired the outlaws over the military, the individuals actually seemed like individuals, not just a homogenized mess of personality traits and characteristics. Even now, when the only purpose was to relax and not be so uptight they were still going off at each other like it was court.

"Do they actually have karaoke here?" He mused in a rumbling tone, his yellow eyes slowly trailing across the room, trying to bask in as much detail as they could. Lots of little things stuck out as being out of place with the typical bar. You know, like the ten armed guards, or the girl rolling around in the center of the room acting like her head was 'this big'. They had well and truly trashed the place, no thanks to himself. Maybe at this point one of the higher ups would just pay for the whole mess, that way he wouldn't get fined for breaking the table. He wanted to ask his new companion what the child's fucking deal was, but right about now it didn't seem so wise. When the air had cleared out, sure, but for now he was just going to have to bite his tongue. "Where are you serving right now?" He asked casually, almost wanting to hit himself for bringing up the most over used small talk line of all time. "I mean, obviously Loguetown, but anything of interest?" He cocked a brow in her direction, trying to block out the mess behind him as best he could.

Emperor Star had gently face palm himself he was trying to firgue out what he did to earn this scenario. Unfortunately he came up with nothing which was all the more reason for him to let this accident go. From what he seen from the very beginning he step aside this bar the behavior pattern of the people considerably change which at first didn't bother him. But now he understands that gracing them with his appearance was too much for them to handle. Well that the conclusion he have came to which had tickle him. Rear Admiral Star had sighs then said [color=#9900ff],"Gentleman enjoy yourself because we have a long journey back to Little Wano." Star had grunted as he made his way over to the closest table to the bar. Taking a seat being sure his wings didn't cause him any discomfort a few of his guards took a seat with him.


They begin to order drinks, and socialize as for Star he was waiting for something what it was only he knew. The people within the bar return back to normal well as far as talking, and drinking maybe he should look into taking over this island to kill off Rear Admiral Faith famliy for the lulz. How boring this was watching these fools drink,and carry on but such things couldn't be help after all it was a bar. Emperor Star was kinda in deep though as he glance around the bar wondering when opportunity would presented itself. Emperor Star had folded his arms as he waited patently for the drinks he was in an relax state of mind too.

Reina curiously looked at the rear admiral who went by the name of star, lose all the hatred almost instantly. Oddly enough,he dropped his grievances and took part in the festivities without much hesitation. His scary samurai all took seats among the guests, who resumed in the same rowdy manner they had been in before mister whistler uttered his tune. There was a slight draw to the rear admiral, women seemed to giggle at him and dudes tended to avoid eye contact. His presence was not forgotten, nor was it a damper on the festivities anymore. Reina's head started pounding, the return of the rowdy atmosphere brought along the noise, which rang in her ears.

She lifted herself up as best that she could, staggering to the table where star was. On her way she pulled a chair up backwards and slumped herself on the edge of the table rather abruptly. She took note of the wings she hadn't exactly paid much mind to, they were rather cool looking she thought. Reaching out to touch the edge of one,before retracting her hand. As the the bad karaoke resounded in the background she rested her head on her arms and turned to rear admiral again. He was sort of on her mind after she said all those retarded things. " Eyy uh sir person guy, uhh I'm sure being a persin of ran'k mus be kind of diffuclt. I'm sure you mus wanaa relax too but ya can't cuz of yer position. so i'm sorry fer wha its worth". she said, turning back to the karaoke, beginning to doze off.

Things had gotten incredibly weird all at once, something that was pretty impressive considering just how stupid things had been just a moment ago. Still, they had seemingly split off into two separate groups, himself and the insane girl with the racist facial makeup being one group with Senior Asshole and Tipsy Tots in the other. It wasn't exactly the kind of situation that he found himself stomaching easily at all. "Landru, I'm Landru Nomad." He replied politely pushing himself to his feet. After all, even if he was planning to leave he should had least give his name to the girl who most certainly saved his life. "Thank you again. My dream would have been ruined had I been arrested, so my life is in your debt. If you ever need a favor, don't hesitate to ask." He was deadly serious in comparison to how he had been just a few moments ago. He didn't make promises often, in fact he made a habit of avoiding them. Whether she remembered once she sobered up or not, it was a promise that the young woman could count on entirely. "I hope next time we meet it's under better circumstances, now if you'll excuse me." With that he pushes his chair in, his body turning on its side as he slid through a tight fit in the tables. Well, it wasn't a complete waste of time, at least he knew now never to come to a Marine party.

,"It is time to go I have what I need." Emperor Star would mumble to himself he would talk loud of enough for his guard to hear him. As he stood up, and attempt to made his exit out the pub his guard surround him as they carefully escort Emperor Star out the area entirely. This would happen after the cat have left the building about 10 minutes after of whatever he didn't want to give Rear Admiral Faith the idea that he was following the marine out the bar.

I bet you wondering what he had wanted well that was name of the officer who disrespected his rank, and title. He will forever remember the cat name because he had plan for him, and it only require time soon that marine would wish he never pissed off Emperor Star so help him god. It didn't take long for the group of peoples to leave Emperor Star had took note of what Rear Admiral Faith had said after all it was some hint of truth to her words. But he didn't care enough to reply to her because he didn't want to be bother with this issue again. Besides he had more important things to do, and that was to protect his island from danger. Not a easy job to begin with, and a very costly one to if he may added. As he left the pub he had said,"Until next time ladies, and gentleman it have been a pleasure."
