"Isn't that guy kinda creepy looking? You think he is a ghost? WAIT he could be a zombie?" Stede would ask Kisame after spotting Jack. They were trying to take all the short cuts they could to get to where they where going. And well they ending up going through this graveyard, and at night. Lets say Stede was extremely superstitious. And well it was night time and no one else was out here, so that had to be the reason. Kisame would notice that the guy would stop moving, as when they arrived he seemed to leaving. So, him knowing about their presences was probably what was going on. Hopefully, he wasn't hostile. As Kisame didn't want to watch Stede fight, as he didn't like the new ability he had recently gain. And he just knew that he would go all out and enter that mode when he fought anyone.

Stede was known throughout this world as the shichibukai Black Caesar. Well he isn't as known as he wants to be, as many people strangely don't know about him. Pirates do as he also has a growing nickname, that he is trying to get, is the Pirate Butcher. As that is how he got his Shichibukai title. Hunting down and capturing but mainly butchering other Pirates. But he only does this to those will a great following or is known. And at this moment the only big fish he is after are Titans or even a Yonko, and maybe a baby Supernova. As those would be the only ones to give him a true challenge, which is what he wants. As he hasn't gone all out in awhile, but really wants to.

"Hey, are you here molesting corpses?!?!" Stede would scream out jokingly, even though it was a bad joke. But, that was his ice breaker and he wanted to break the ice quickly. And they had time so he could talk with anyone, for as long as he needed. Kisame would stop and not move from his spot and Stede would begin to walk toward Jack, but would stop once a few feet away from him. He didn't need there to be distance between them, as he just wanted to talk.


'Hmm, even if I am far away from him...I keep getting sucked in. What a trouble some Captain. The gravity this man has will bring everyone to him. Whether they will be crushed or rotate around him is up to them.' Kisame would think to himself as he just stood there and look over at Stede. Both of them held a lantern as there was no Moon up in the sky, but only the stars that gave just a little light. But soon that would change as the clouds began to accumulate more and more.  

ooc: In my post I said the moon isn't out. It is getting darker actually so the only thing you would be able to use to see me is the lantern I have.

"Relax, I don't mean any harm." Stede said, but that didn't mean he was going to try to talk to the guy again. He didn't want to seem hostile so he planned on just go on his own way. Though Stede did say a horrible joke that could make any mad, he was a bit agitated himself. But, Stede planned to just walk passed the guy and head on his way. He needed to get out of here for more than one reason. At this time Kisame would move from his spot and be directly behind Stede, and would tap his shoulder. This being the signal to not start any fights but to keep moving.

"THAT IS THEM! GET EM!" would be heard behind Stede and the others. The distance between them was about ten meters. They had just came from around the corner to reveal themselves. Where they currently was at was the middle of the city of Katorea. Their graveyard in the enter of their town due to them honoring their dead. There ranged from simple burials on the surface to tombs underground.

"Eh?" Stede would say as he would turn in the direction of the men with torches and pitchforks. But behind that group was another on their way, city guards.

"WHO IS THAT OTHER GUY WITH THEM!?!" One would scream as they all began to run toward them.

"WHO CARES!?! THEY SHADY GUY PROBABLY LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE BUYING THE THINGS HE STOLE FROM US!" Another would scream out.

Honestly, they were mistaken as Stede didn't steal anything of any value to them. He had just took something he would need for a plan he had up his sleeve. Kisame knew though that they were being chased but didn't think they would catch up that quickly. "It seems we are now all in the same boat. Sir, I don't know if you live within this town or not. But do you think you could provide us some shelter while we lay low. We could deal with these people easily, but we can't afford to draw attention to ourselves anymore than we have. We will pay you." Kisame would say as he would ask Jack.

"Pfft, I ain't paying him sh-" Before Stede would finish he would be hit in the back of the head by Kisame. Time was of the essence so they needed to hurry and decided on something, as those people were drawing nearer. Stede and Kisame where against harming them as they could not afford to draw anymore attention to them like they already have.

"HA! SEE KISAME! We should've just bounced when those guys caught up. This guy probably doesn't even own a home, look at him. " Stede would say as once the man didn't agree with Kisame's offer, which was to pay him just to take them to his home. Stede didn't have time people that couldn't even take advantage of a opportunity in front of them.  Stede wasn't harming anyone here not because he couldn't but because that was the deal he had struck to gain what he had taken from those chasing him, and Stede stuck by his word. Stede didn't plan on leaving this town just yet, but was going to lay low somehow. First, he would run to the right of the man who had began to simple walk forward, since the mob was coming toward them from behind. Kisame would follow close behind Stede.

What the mob would do to the guy was nothing at all, as they saw he didn't run like Stede did nor even go in the direction he went. But they would try to stop him and asking him one question.

"WHERE DID THE MAN WITH THOSE BLUEPRINTS GO!?!" Is the one question that they had asked. The blueprints that Stede had, at this time, will be revealed sometime later down the line within his adventure here on Alabasta.

It didn't take long for Stede and Kisame to get away and hide behind a building. It was quite night, and barely anyone was outside. What they would do next was sneak into the building they hid behind, which was a home. Luck befell them as there was no one home and no one spotted them. Stede and Kisame looking around, and even putting their lanterns out, as to make sure they were seen at all. Once inside they quickly searched around to see what they could change into, to blend in more with the people of this town. As Stede stood out, and so did Kisame. Kisame found a outfit that would help him even conceal his face, and after that he would search for water within the house.

Alabasta was, at this time, under the control of a Titan and Stede didn't fear this Titan, but wanted to lay low. He didn't like having people over his shoulder or watching him from a far, whilst he tried to make moves. That didn't just ruin what he would have planed but also irritate him.

"I still can't believe that guy thought he could just order people. " Stede took the guy's words earlier as if he was issuing a command to them. "Cocky little shit." Stede would say. As he searched around for something that he wanted to change into he kept his body ready, so that he could react to anything that could come through the door of the two story home. As Stede was in the first room of the home, that was nearest to the front door.
