It's been a few hours since Ike rolled into Orange Town but since he stayed up all night on the day he arrived he slept the entire afternoon. Waking up the dreadhead pirate rose from his bed as he extended his arms out stretching his back while letting out a loud yawn. Moving the covers off of himself he slept in his boxers so he started to walk towards his closet to change into some clothes. While he shuffled through his clothes his stomach started to roar something fierce, "and I ate all the food Greg gave me" he complained as he started to rub his stomach. The first thing he grabbed was his black capris and he was putting them on he slipped on his sandals. He then reached into his closet grabbing his red sleeveless zip up hoodie and quickly putting it on; while tucking his black headband for his dreads. Now dressed the pirate walked out of his room after making his bed and closed the door behind him. Walking off the main deck onto the docks the dark skinned pirate looked around checking his surroundings while also trying to get a feel for the place.

Not many people were on the decks because of how late it was but this didn’t stop Ike as he walked through the docks carefully trying to find a way to the town. It only took him minutes to figure out where he was at and where the nearest food diner thanks to town map out of front of the docks. Oddly enough as Ike passed by several buildings a couple of them had something in common; some were painted the color orange. Not really putting much thought behind it he continued to walk through Orange Town until he found the diner/bar he was looking for. It was rather huge as it looked like it could over 100 people easily. Walking inside it seemed like the place was packed as many tables were full with people who either drinking, eating, laughing, or all of the above. Ike decided to grab a seat in the front, "Yo, mister get me plate full of meat!" He yelled to the waiter who in turn nodded in response to his order. Sitting back Ike looked over seeing a bigger individual who carried a strong he looked strong which sparked his interest. "You’re an interesting character the names Ike D. Souji what's your name?", he spoke in a friendly tone as he smiled at the brown-skinned man.

Aloeus and Ataru had spent a couple of hours going over their plan they had even walked around the town in simulation. It was now late in the day but Aloe had dug the route into his mind and plenty of additional light would be provided when the buildings become torches. Careful not to look as if they were casing the place, even though they were, the stage was set for their heist. No matter what kind of planning you did you could never account for everything. But what would be the hiccup in this pairs plan, drunkenness and a pirate.
Before arriving at the bar

Ataru and Aloeus had nearly completed their route ending up back at the bar where they had met, it was also the site where the plan came into motion. The street was filled with happy cheers from the bar. Aloeus soul was shaking not for a drink after all he was working but at the opportunity before him. Earlier when they had been there not much money would have been in rotation but now it was full of patrons wishing to drink the night away. These were easy pickings and even though they were gearing up for a much bigger score this was CASH. Cash was ready to be spent, weapons were much more difficult to move. “Ataru lets delay things just for a bit. Earlier it was dead in there but now its flush with easy cash,” Aloeus said gesturing towards the bar. “You can light it up after I clear it out.” If Ataru agreed Aloe would speed on in calling out “You will know when it’s time!”

After arriving at the bar
Upon entering he couldn’t help but notice that the sleeping patron who was there earlier that morning was now up, flushed and dancing. Isn’t that those kids’ dad from before? But surely that can’t be their mom, poor runts. Aloe thinks shaking his head.

Ataru was walking through the streets with Aloeus it had been a long day of planning for the heist. Ataru was in his usual attire for the sunny weather in Orange town a grey undershirt, a black long skirt and an orange light silk hood.The day had been fruitful Ataru could tell that Aloeus knew what he was doing and felt more confident in causing a distraction while Aloeus covered the rest. He had thought about the buildings he wanted to use for the distraction. He definitely had the bar pegged as one, since it would be capable of sustaining the fire easier than other buildings. He needed a second one somewhere further across town he had seen a house that fit the profile but he needed to do some additional scoping to see if he would have a concealed angle to pull it off. Then he would try to link up with Aloeus to make sure that if they were caught in anyway they could escape together.  Aloeus broke his thoughts when he spoke, looking at the traffic in the bar it didn't seem like a bad plan. "Yeah lets do it I've been thirsty for some rum all day."

Ataru walked into the bar with Aloeus running ahead. Ataru sat at the same stool as last time the seat next to him was empty while he ordered some rum and tipped the bartender for his quick service. He then looked around for Aloeus hopefully he would see his mug as he raised it. He wondered exactly what the signal would be. He started to drink some of his rum after a gulp he would set his mug down on the counter and smile.Hopefully he would be able to finish most of his rum before the signal came. Ataru was prepared to set it down if need be though Aloeus would hear him complain about it. That was when another man walked up to the empty seat. It wasn't to long before he spoke"You’re an interesting character the names Ike D. Souji what's your name?". He had a very casual look about him. He certainly didn't seem to be any kind of government official. "Name is Ataru, it is nice to meet you Ike. I haven't seen you around town before are you from here?"Ataru was a little suspicious of the man simply because he had never been approached at a bar before, added was the fact that people seemed to stare at him whenever he entered this particular bar. He wasn't sure why but he didn't want to draw more attention to himself by asking. He kept his eyes on the watch for Aloeus's signal.

The man introduced himself as Ataru, an interesting name for intriguing person. "I saw your blade so you must be a swordsman and no doubt a strong one", he looked at the hilt of his blade and back towards him. Finally the waiter came back with Ikes' plate of meat and mug full of water, "Thanks" he then began to scruff down some of his meat before drinking out of  his mug. "A wise old man from the West Blue no question knew my father. He advised me to come here to find crewmates and follow my dreams", pausing for a bit, Ike, looked down as he was having sudden flashbacks of his childhood. After he gained his composure he looked back towards Ataru, "my dream just like my late father is to be the King of Pirates" having a passionate tone in his voice this was something he took very serious. However, a man on the left of Ike was listening to everything he said he didn't like one bit of it, "Oi, this fucker here wants to be the Pirate King!" He spoke loudly to others inside the bar. It instantly grew quiet, "Souji, I heard of man by that last name. You must be Kens' boy; he was utter failure, he got what he deserved, and you will never become the Pirate King". The others stood up in agreement and it seems that Ikes father was not a liked man, but hearing others talk badly about him and his father filled him with anger. Getting up from his chair slowly he turned his attention to the man, "Take. That. Back" he spoke calmly as he eyes were locked onto the man.  

The man looked back to the other customers as they all laughed at him, "Never, this is what we do to pirates" he slugged Ike across the face. But, thanks to his devil fruit abilities his neck stretched back about three feet before ricocheting back. Using the momentum the young pirate headbutted the man on the head and knocked him out cold. The people inside the bar reacted in terror as some of them began to scream, "Monster!" They never seen someone stretch like that before. While the ones who were afraid left this left the remaining twenty-nine; meaning the were itchin' to fight. "Bring it", the men replied with battle cries as the charged towards him, and once in striking range five of them tasted a stretched augmented roundhouse kick. They then stopped charging as they figured running in would be a bad idea so they switched their tactic to standing their ground.

Stealing from the drunk wasn’t any fun at all in fact it was downright boring. But this cash was very much needed by the ‘Revolution’ aka Aloeus’ fund. While the types of things you could steal were endless only beginning with cash or gems, weapons, and information were also obtainable through theft.  However cash provided legitimate access to resources and extended bridges rather than pissing people off.

But there was no worries about pissing people off tonight they might. Aloeus did happen to see Ataru raise his glass but the dwarf had no clue why he was doing it, there didn’t appear to be anyone around to toast with. Aloeus had just finished reducing the burden of carrying money from another table when he saw Ataru engaging in a conversation with some stranger who looked to be from out town. “Ataru you better be focused,” Aloeus sighed and shook his head even though there was no way he could hear him.  The thief had not planned on stealing within of Ataru just in case someone overly perceptive noticed what he was doing but for the time being he was going to ignore Ike’s pockets altogether at the very least while he and Ataru seemed on positive terms.

Above all the commotion came a statement that would silence all conversations in the bar. ‘Wants to be Pirate King,’ this surprise caused the dwarf to slip on some spilt beer and skid into a table leg. Rubbing his head he scowled that would surely leave a mark. Aloeus had caused the whole table to shake upon impact much to the anger of the above patrons. But they wouldn’t have time to investigate or blame each other because a bigger problem had awoke. It was the one guy that Ataru had been talking to that was the center of attention. Pirate King, huh? Lofty goal… Aloe had never heard of the guy’s father.  But if there was another Pirate King that would surely impact the Revolution for better or worse.

Aloe was shocked like the rest of the people in the bar but the only difference was he had seen a good deal of devil fruits so he was sure that this guy was another fruit user.  Aloeus’ jaw dropped as people ran out some of which still hadn’t had their money liberated. “Dam it!” Aloe called out raising the table he was underneath by grabbing it by the leg bottles and plates would fall off, away from Aloe. Aloe would begin spinning it like an awkward Frisbee hitting three men who sitting at the table moments before.  Aiming for Ike he let the table fly but it wouldn’t reach him instead it collided in the back of two of his assailants head.

Ataru listened to Ike as he commented on his blade and gave him a compliment. It had been a long time since anyone had said anything kind to him, he then went on to telll Ataru about his dream to be King of the pirates.Man this Ike guy sure is open, telling his dream to the first man he meets at a bar. Then again maybe it was because he saw the sword.Before he could give what Ike said more thought he heard the man on the other side of Ike pipe up. As he spoke the room became more focused on what was being said, it ended with the man telling Ike that he would fail just as his father did. It didn't sound like it ended to well, Ike stood up and Ataru took another swig of his rum when he looked back he almost spit it out.

Ike's whole neck had stretched like it was made out of rubber and knocked the man he had walked towards back. Ataru looked around for Aloeus, this would make a perfect distraction but they would need to be quick. Drawing his blade he would reverse it in his grip he didn't want to kill villagers. Standing up he surveyed his scene there at another side of the room there was a table that began spinning rather quickly on its own then it took out 5 different villagers in total. It was a sign that Aloeus wanted the fight to continue, Ataru charged forward at a group of the villagers. He lunged straight at one igniting his sword with his spirit of fire he strikes from the mans shoulder to his waist left to right. It would of been more impressive if he was actually cutting the man but it would still leave burn through the clothes on the area as well as minor burns he wouldn't be standing up soon. He changed the momentum of his blade to the man adjacent to his first victim connecting to his head. Taking in his scene as the two villagers fall on the ground. A group of the remaining villagers had taken notice of the rush on the line, hopefully Ike had followed him as he rushed in. They would need to do this quick if they were going to get a head start on escaping from the scene. As they surrounded Ataru he shook his head he didn't particularly enjoy violence but there didn't seem to be many other ways for people to take you seriously. They would see the result of his swordsmanship right now, he was focused. Ataru felt a fist connect to the back of his head a villager must have slipped past his peripherals.Turning around Ataru dodges the second fist striking the villager in his kneecap with his blade. A pop sounds as the man falls to the ground screaming. Ataru kicks him in the face once to remind him to stay down.  ."We need to finish this quickly if we don't want to get arrested". He wasn't speaking particularly to Aloeus or Ike he just said it loud enough for everyone in the room to hear. He wanted them scared if one or two ran away at the confidence in his voice he wouldn't be disappointed.

After taking out the nearby enemies he heard a voice cry out, but he couldn't locate it. It wasn't until a table on the other side of the bar started moving, and what really caught his attention was that people were still sitting there. While distracted by the event two men almost creeped up on Ike but the table that was tossed crashed into them and they hit the floor unconscious. This time Ike was able to spot the person who threw it and not realizing his stature due to being in a battle he gave him a solid thumbs up.

Not making the same mistake twice he paid attention what was in front of him he then noticed Ataru rushing towards the remaining bar clients and Ike immediately followed him. He was able to witness his swordsmanship as he made quick work out one of them by injuring his leg and swiftly kicking him in the face. "Your right we need to make quick work of them", he then charged ahead of the swordsman towards the crowd, "Gomu Gomu no Gatoringu" his fist began to fly towards the men in a blurry, fast barrage of strong punches. He made contact with a large number of the crowd and they were directly impacted by the blows; a good amount of them fell to the floor in rhythm.

The bar was now more clear as there were only six of em left, but before the group could celebrate the waiter picked up a baby Den Den Mushi, "Get out! I am calling the Marines right now!" he spoke with a panicky tone. "Shit!", this was not good looking back at Ataru and the very short being, "Do you guys want to join my crew?", he said excitedly, "we worked pretty good as a team and I have ship we can lay low at" he then started to walked toward the exit. "I'll be waiting outside just finish up", he then walked outside waiting for the new individuals that he just met.

It wasn’t until after the table was thrown that Aloe realized that he couldn’t let his frustration get the best of him. It was because things had gotten more complicated that it was all the more important to stay vigilant and remember their purpose.  Over the ruckus of the brawl Aloe was able to hear Ataru call out that it was important that this matter be resolved quickly. The guy with devil fruit powers put on a rapid display quickly knocking out attacker after attacker with a rapid set of punches. The dwarf couldn’t help but be impressed.  I’ll certainly have to get my hands on one of those fruits. But for now I can’t be shown up. Us regular guys can still kick ass too. Jumping up he tucked into a forward roll slamming into the nearest drunk bouncing of him into next person, repeating this several times like a pachinko ball. With each hit assured another visit to the emergency room.

As the call went out Aloeus had a mis-timed since of relief. The marines were called and he actually was thankful to the dreadlocked stranger.  When the invitation went out for he and Ataru to join it was off putting. This guy is dead serious he wants us to join him just like that! Aloeus eyes light up in a greed of greed if he has a ship then it would be a much easier to get out of town, with more goods. With the room much emptier it was easy to pin point Ataru it also helped that he carried a flaming sword. Giving his partner a nod he was telling him was time for the bonfire. This would ensure that the marines would have more than a brawl to deal with, instead there would be a fire that could easily spread across the rest of the wood buildings. While running towards the exit he called out to Ataru “It wouldn’t be such a bad idea going with him, he has a ship!” Aloe’s voice lingered as he stressed ship. It was clear his motive was an easy ride.

Looking around there was destruction coming from all three men in the bar. It definitely seemed that the villagers never stood a chance against them. The men that had been around Ataru had been taken out by Ike with his rubber power. Across the room he could see Aloeus attacking villagers in a blur. The room started to calm a little as the villagers were down to 6 members. That's when the voice of one of the waiters rang out in the bar, he was calling the Marines. That was definitely something that Ataru did not want to deal with at the moment. He looked around and noticed that there were no employees behind the bar at the moment. He shrugged to himself thinking this would probably be the safest time for everyone involved to start a fire. Ike offered for Ataru and Aloeus to join his crew, which was hilarious to Ataru because he seemed dead serious. Aloeus seemed to be fine with it stressing his ship something that they were lacking. All in all it wouldn't be bad to appear as pirates, it would take away suspicion that they were  involved with the Revolutionaries.

He moved closer to the bar and pointed his sword straight at the Alcohol. Activating the dial, flame shot out in a stream towards the bar before hitting the stores of alcohol. It wouldn't be long before the fire would began to grow. Ataru sheathed his blade and runs out to see the other two eager to go to the ship. He had many questions for Ike, he wondered if he and Aloeus were the first to join his crew. If so that meant he'd at least to get to pick a room on the ship. He also wondered what the ship would look like he had not been on to many ships, all of them had been pirate so he didn't expect much."Lead the way Captain Ike" he chuckled as he said it "Sorry couldn't help but laugh never thought I'd call someone a Captain in this lifetime."
