So, there he was, five minutes away from literally sailing away from the godforsaken island, and what did his mind do? OOOOOO, ICE CREAM! And poof, every single beri he made from saving up honest savings in order to get off the damn Loguetown was piled onto the most satisfying and delicious ice cream sundae he had ever tasted in his entire life. Not that he had much time to eat sundaes... in fact it might have been his first one. It was tasty, so he was satisfied. But then came the overwhelmingly depressing thought about the fact that he was probably going to have to save up for another few weeks to get off the island or he could smuggle himself, that would work. But he'd be hungry, and the trips don't go far. Most annoying. "Sir, you're 300 beri off the mark." "Nnn..." That was not good, the fact that he couldn't speak was another factor. He gestured with his hands. "I'm sorry, but I don't understand sir." Bloody idiots who relie on their ears to much, can't they understand body language. ...Well, time to run. With almighty strength, Kidd launched the table up at the old man, then darted towards the door. Time to make his escape. With luck this was not going to be the trouble that the last esc-- "Thief! Get him!" "That's Kidd Florentine, he's got a bounty! Get him!" Oh boy. Approximately fifteen minutes later, an exhausted Kidd takes break on some random back alley to catch his breath. Really he could have just killed them, but then that would mean a higher bounty, and higher bounties mean more bounty hunters, and more bounty hunters mean-- oooo shiny. It was a 20 beri coin on the floor. He picked it up. Coins were rarely so sparkly nowadays.

"Alright... two barrels of limes, two barrels of potatoes... three creates of meat and please make sure it's wrapped. And finally four barrels of water, that should be enough for supplies. Have it brought over to the fourth fleet docks and you'll get your payment there."

Tomaka handed the small paper listing back to one of the men who had aided him in his search for supplies. It was a member of one of the larger supply shops on the island that made good business in aiding Marines and even Pirates. Without clear proof of their involvement they couldn't be stopped, it was easy to see that Pirates got their starts here by filling up their boats.

"Now we need medi-" Tomaka's attention was drawn away along with his two companions Thoman Jennings and Alfred Hanes whom he had grown accustomed to working with. "What's goin on over there?" The three marines made a small trek to look at a few people arguing and talking holding up a small piece of paper shoving it in one another's faces. Within a few moments they caught notice of the marines and decided to include them in on it. "Sir's! Marines! You guys are pretty damned good I hope. We got our sights on Kidd Florentine, brat is a rotten thief who just stole a meal. Aint much but its another criminal off the streets!"

"We'll handle this, you can jump in if you'd like but we wont be responsible if he harms you." Tomaka took the piece of paper from his hands and showed it to his comrades.

They nodded to one another and made a silent agreement to track down this Kidd Florentine and bring him in or at least sort something out. Tomaka wanted to get a better lead on things before going in with guns blazing and sending an emergency warning to the ships.

He didn't have to wait for long. Kidd was nonchalantly messing around with his coin, then finally bought a stick of takoyaki with it and was happily munching along some random civilian street when he was immediately apprehended by a bunch of marines, again. He stopped dead in his tracks, he was extremely agitated. I mean, it was just one ice cream, right? He might have taken down a dozen or so marines, but that was a misunderstanding and totally not his fault! Regardless, if they wanted a fight, there's no mercy for them. He slowly pulled Monohoshi Zao from his back. A massive, six footlong nodachi was a relatively fearsome sight to behold. "An." He simply stated, and brought the blade to his eye level. And then it was over in an instant. With one single sweep, the marines, within a six foot radius around Kidd died immediately from having their heads decapitated. Blood and organs strewn on the floor, Monohoshi Zao was whet. Screams, panic, people fleeing the street. Flicking the blood off of his sword, Kidd continued to munch on his takoyaki. Unknown to him, came the cavalry in the form of a single man.

Tomaka and his small team split up into three groups to better make the search for the man. "It's just one man but he's apparently decent with a sword, I'd rather do this without murdering him. He's not at that danger yet." His two comrades nodded and walked off to different areas of the town, each bearing their own rifle to use as a weapon in case worse came to worse. Tomaka however shifted the sheath for his Ginryuu from his back down to his side.

Grandfather, this man is suppose to be a swordsman... please do not force me to use your blade on him.

What else was a sword used for than fighting others that held blades? It was used as a tool of honor and pride, expressing ones love for the teaching and to teach others. Now it was a tool used by others to murder people in cold blood ruining the blade steel with the blood of others. Destroying the edge by careless striking against anyone and anything that they came across. What kind of man was this Kidd Florentine?

He was about to get his answer.

Tomaka's search brought him around a corner of a building to witness the beheading of another Marine who had been in the area. Thankfully it wasn't one of his men, he stared for a moment before seeing the man swipe the blood from his blade.

"Kidd Florentine..."

Plucking the last takoyaki from the skewer, Kidd casually tossed it aside. Now to find more things to slake his boredom with! Let's see, he could go hunt something in the forest, go out swimming on the beach, find something to eat, or go hire a hooker from the local brothel to spend some time with. In the end, he was relatively bored of all the choices, and the city was not exactly the friendliest places to be right now, especially since he killed people. And so he decided to head out for now, probably towards a non-civilized area. Changing his pace, he headed towards a nearby market street, getting himself lost in the crowd and heading into an empty abandoned district right next to it. What he saw however, was not the face of an abandoned district, but a district that only held one man within. There was a distinct aura that swordsmen gave off, like that of a killer, but also of integrity and respect in their art of killing. Kidd immediately sensed that in the air, and sure enough a man with a massive nodachi, much like his own, was standing in front of him. "Uwah!" He exclaimed. Judging by his attire, he was either marine or bounty hunter. Few pirates ever dressed so well and in such good armor. Kidd was conflicted, on one hand he wanted to fight this swordsman. On the other hand, he needed to run before reinforcements arrived. Shit. He thought to himself. He swiped the blood off his blade. "Kidd Florentine..." He wielded Monohoshi Zao into stance. "Uuuuu..." ...
