The Carpenter Pirate, Kapenta the Shipwright Part 2

Shipbrook Island, The Shifting Tide Infirmary
A few hours later, john woke up in a hospital bed. His shirt and jacket were off and his torso was covered with banages. A young woman with white hair in pigtails was off in the corner writing down notes.

John: Hell-lo beautiful, what do you say we leave this room and have ourselves a good time?

Ishi: Sorry, i don't associate with my paitients, or our captives.

John: What do you mean by captive, and how did I get in here?

Ishi: To answer your first question. look at your wrists and ankles.

Swift looked to see heavy shackles chaining him to the bed. He could also tell that these shackles were Seastone. He wasn't getting out of this one.

Ishi: And to answer your second question (holds up Bastogne's poster) this guy gave us a net to fish you out, and Senshi brought you here.

John smiled at her, only hearing the part about the shackles. he turned to her, with a seductive smile.

John: Oh nurse, you don't need to hide it. I accept that you enjoy stuff like this, and I'll be glad to help you with it.

Senshi: John, quit hitting on my doctor or i will be forced to break my promise to Bastogne.

John: Fine, but she sure is cute. So, what do you want from me, Information! I don't know anything about One Piece or Gol D. Roger, so you're outta luck!

Senshi: Accually, i wanted to see if you were alright? You took quite a beating and a tumble. Plus, i wanted to apologize for your hearing.

John laid his head down and sighed,

John: You know, for the oddest reason, I felt that if I beat you, I'd somehow gain back those ten years I spent waiting and slowly dying inside. I guess, I'll have to face reality and see that I'm never gonna be as beautiful as I was back when I was young!

Senshi: Well, look on the bright side, would you have gotton the amazing crew you have now had you not been in prison. Plus, you never would have become a respectable citizen, and that admirality board would have just sent you back to Impel Down and you know it.

John sighed, she was right. He hated to admit it, but she was. He turned to her with a timid smile, a sinister one at that.

John: Hey Senshi, I lied...

Senshi's eyes narrowed in a bit of confusion, what did he mean by this. His smile widened with stupidity.

John: I know something about Gol D. Roger...

Sensi: Do you mean about that "Will of D." thing you did back at the pier?

'John:' *Smiling widely* No, I know where he hid a map. His last message to the world before his death, let me go and I'll show you.

Ishi jumped as she saw an amazingly tall shadow of a man standing behind Senshi.

Bastogne: It's true,

Senshi jumped a bit in shock

Bastogne: We found the information from John's father on Duskfelt. Gol D. Roger's last message is on Mystic Island.

Senshi: Mystic island. Interesting. Might have to go there someday.... I take it you came to collect your captain.

Bastogne turned his hands into solid rock, gripped the seastone shackles and gripped tightly. A loud crunch could be heard, Bastogne stood up and dropped the pieces of the seastone on the ground and picked up Swift.

Bastogne: You should follow us to Mystic Island, a war is about to begin.

Bastogne didn't leave much time for questions, he merely walked out.

Ishi: Aren't we going to stop them?

Senshi: No. There's no need. Let them go. I did promise that guy i would return his captain.

Ishi: Should we follow them? You know, to.... that place?

Senshi: We can't. Our rudder is broken. But i'm quite sure we can catch up to them later. I was starting to like that guy.

On the newly repaired Malmady,

Celia: Everything...seems...in order...BUT!

Gilliam: Ugh, give it a rest Cel. Everything is fine

Celia: No it's not! I let a stranger touch my boat and now I want to know what they did!

Gilliam: Oh god, at this rate we'll never leave port.

Elon: I'll start cooking whilst we wait.

Celia: Aha! They screwed up on the ropes!

Gilliam: No they didn't, your just saying that...

Kāpentā: I can assure you, your ship was repaired to the specifications you told us. There is nothing wrong with your ship.

Celia: But... Maybe.....

Nelliel: You're just being paranoid. This guy did a great job.

Celia sighed. then mumbled, barely audible.

Celia: Thank you.

Zasa walked up to Kāpentā, calmly as he presented Kāpentā with the payment. He timidly smiled at the carpenter

Zasa: We greatly appreciate what you have done here.

Gilliam: Well...

He turns to Celia, glaring at Kāpentā with her arms crossed,

Gilliam: Most of us, anyways...

Elon: Kapenta, do ya wanna stay for dinner?

Kāpentā: Sure. I have some time before my next job. Those teens on the next pier have some serious rudder damage. I wonder what Roronoa Senshi did to that ship to bang up that rudder.

Gilliam: Don't know...don't really care...

Celia: Sooo, the GREAT Kapenta is having troubles fixing a rudder...

Zasa: Let it go Celia, you've lost...

Celia just huffed and walked away to the lower decks and her quarters

Zasa: Terribly sorry about her, she is-

Elon: Chili's done!

Elon exclaimed as he came onto the deck with a huge pot of chili, Bastogne and John Swift came aboard the ship.

John Swift: Chili!

Kāpentā glared at Swift. as he did, his hands started to form into hammers. She snarled at Swift.

Kāpentā: So you are the one that recked my home. I wish Senshi had let you drown.
