The streets of Alubarna were alive and vivid with the sights and sounds of individuals moving about. It was a warm and sunny day—as most were in Alabasta—as Sinclaire made her way through the bazaar of the capital city, weaving through the bodies that swarmed the streets. Numerous vendors called to her to buy their wares, but one stand in particular caught her eye. Hanging for all to see were a myriad of sarongs, each with a different pattern and color. Like a moth to flame, Sinclaire made her way to the booth and began inspecting all the garments with wide eyes. It wasn't long until the stall's owner made his presence known. "Like what you see," cooed a man showing his gold-toothed smile, "I'll make you a deal—10,000 berri..." Sinclaire reached in her bag and pulled out her wallet, only to be disappointed when she looked inside it. She could have sworn that there was more in there; then again, this trip had become more expensive than she imagined it would, and it had been some time since she had made any money. Sure, she had enough to buy a sarong, but doing so would leave her with no money to grab drinks later. She looked up at the grinning salesman, pondering her tough decision. [ A short time later...] Sinclaire sat by her lonesome at a circular table in a nearby tavern. In one hand she held a half-filled glass, and in the other a bottle. Silently, she imbibed in her alcohol, all the while listening to the peripheral conversations happening around her—all revolving around a theme. "Did you hear: 'Cutthroat' Kendall killed another one..." Whispered one person to another. "20,000,000 berri reward," shouted another person in disbelief from the other side of the room. "I heard that he even took out a few innocents this time," said one woman in concern to another. As Sinclaire gathered all the pieces to the narrative puzzle, she continued to sip on her booze, getting rose-colored in the cheeks as she did so. When the time came to order another bottle, she once again pulled out her wallet, only to be reminded first-hand that she lacked that necessary funds to do so—not that she needed it. Prompted by her lack of funds, and assisted by her general state of intoxication, Sinclaire stood up on her chair and addressed the entirety of the tavern. "I'll do it!" The patrons of the establishment quieted down as Sinclaire shouted her announcement. "I'll get this bastard— *hic*—! Just point me in the right direction!" Those in the bar looked around at each other silently before erupting in laughter. To them, surely, this was a joke. "I'm not kidding, you guys," Sinclaire tried to say, but was drowned out by all the guffawing, "just tell me where he is!" Unable to get a word in, Sinclaire sat back down and stewed angrily over what little was left of her bottle. _________________________________________ ZERNEBOG ROMANOV |

After a week filled with patrolling, duty, and dealing with irritating scum on both ends of the spectrum of the law, Zernebog was ready to unwind with a few good rounds at one of the local bars. Who knew that Alabasta attracted scum Marines even more than scum pirates? Even worse, they were ones he couldn’t just bag all willy-nilly given their entrenched positions at the post and he was still gathering evidence against them. [break][break]
But even he needed a break from thinking about all that shit, so that was the last he was going to think of that for a while. He needed a few rounds of booze in him, then just have fun for a night and then maybe in the morning after a possible hangover he’d have a new perspective on the situation or at least a well-rested mind to deal with it all. [break][break]
However, right as he walked into a bar… he’d heard some woman declaring that they were going to catch… well, someone, and then the entire bar laughing at the declaration. He waited for the laughter to die down before nudging one of the patrons nearby, raising an eyebrow. [break][break]
“Who was the lady so gung-ho about catching?” He asked with a raised eyebrow, leaning down a bit due to his taller than average height. [break][break]
The man snorted. “Drunk chick thinks she can take on and catch ol’ Cutthroat, crazy broad. Hah! Asshole’s got a 20 mil bounty on him now after his latest hit got some poor innocent youngins killed, and that’s significant enough to trouble some ol’ no-names like her.” [break][break]
Zernebog looked thoughtful at that. That unsavory bounty hunter? Interesting. Maybe catching some smaller fry could work just as well as drinking the night away. Maybe healthier. ”I see. 20 mil, huh? Thanks man.” He waved the guy off and then casually walked over to where the woman was seated and then took a seat beside her. [break][break]
”I heard you’re going after Cutthroat. You for real or is that just you talkin’ after that bottle of yours?” Zerne inclined his head to the bottle.

The humiliation that Sinclaire had suffered at the hands of the laughing mob was enough to nest her head into her arms flat on the table. She remained there as she felt the shuffle of a moving chair and body sitting beside her. The man queried her sincerity, but all Sinclaire could muster was sarcasm.
"Well, seeing as I have no bottle left..." Her words were slightly muffled but the sass rang through clear. Sinclaire raised her head to deliver a follow-up, but stopped to examine the young man.
Silvery white hair. Clean-shaven. Neatly dressed.
Whoever this person was, Sinclaire had a feeling that he was not part of the pool of locals. She straightened herself up in her chair and proceeded to extinguish any off-putting mood.
"Seems like you're looking for a partner," she said smoothly, "how about you buy a girl a drink and we can talk about Cutthroat."

There was a twinkle of amusement in Zernebog’s eyes when the woman gave him some sass, only to then straighten up when she actually looked at him. Probably saw him as either handsome or as someone potentially useful since it was rather obvious that he didn’t quite blend in here despite not coming in. Interesting. [break][break]
”Actually, I came here looking for a drink, but I suppose a partner and a hunt is a better alternative. Alright, I’ll play along.” He remarked dryly before flagging over the waitress to get them two bottles of rum. More palatable than beer, even if dive bar rum was still shitty. [break][break]
Once the waitress had gone off to get his order, he turned his attention back to the woman. ”So, about ol’ Cutthroat… are you after him for his shiny new bounty or because he did something to offend you?” He paused for a moment and smirked. ”Or is it a little bit of both? I’ve heard that a lot when it comes to this guy. But then again, you might have just heard of him now given the bar’s reaction.”[break][break]
After he said that, the waitress came back with their drinks. He thanked her with a polite smile before taking a sip from the open bottle. It was… definitely not the best rum, but still better than the piss beer he’d tried the first time he came in here. You’d think a desert kingdom area would do beer better all things considered, but hey, this was the Grand Line and it loved subverting logic and stereotypes.[break][break]

Two bottles of rum? Jackpot. Sinclaire sat there silently as the man voiced his conjecture and proceeded to order to two bottles of rum. Albeit she felt that he seemed a little full of himself upon first impression, she wasn't about to pass up a whole bottle to herself free of charge. "Gee Mister, you sure know the way to woman's heart," she said playfully as the waitress arrived with two fresh bottles for the table. Wasting no time in trite offerings, Sinclaire grabbed a bottle and quickly began downing it. Was it spiced? Was it dark? Was it good? Was it swill? Sinclaire had no idea. She quaffed from the bottle as if it were life saving water and she had been stranded in the hot desert. After a few awkward moments of silence, otherwise filled by the sounds of glugging, Sinclaire ejected the bottle that was firmly planted into her face and give a lip-smacking exhale of refreshment. "Nah," Sinclaire leaned back in her chair, giving off a bit more relaxed and open posture than before, "I have nothing against this guy. Now that I think about it, I've always liked the name 'Cutthroat'. I used to date a fellow named 'Cutthroat'..." Her tone began to trail off in reminiscence of past boyfriends before she focused herself back to attention. "No," she quasi-reassured herself, sinking deeper into her tangent, "no, that wasn't his name." Sinclaire leaned her head back, rubbing her chin slightly and looking up at the ceiling as she attempted to recall the name of one of her past boyfriends. Before too long, she whipped her back into position, snapping her fingers and looking at Zernebog with the expression of someone who had figured out the answer to a 100,000,000 berri question. "Cubert! Cubert was his name!" Sinclaire was oblivious to how out of place her anecdote was in the situation— not that she would have cared otherwise. "To answer your question," she leaned forward in her chair now, grinning slightly as she made eye contact, "it's all about the money." _________________________________________ ZERNEBOG ROMANOV |

The words simply had him inclining his head and shrugging as he picked up his own bottle. He was of the opinion that the way into a woman’s heart varied depending on who she was and what her experiences were, but that was a little too deep to admit to a stranger. A pretty stranger, to be sure, but not one he was interested in at the moment beyond what she could possibly provide to help hunt the reckless bounty hunter down and bring him to justice. [break][break]
He let the awkward silence stretch on as he merely took sips of his –horrible-tasting but not as bad as shitty dive bar beer- rum while he watched her just chug hers down like they were at a drinking match. Sadly, this brew wasn’t strong enough to give him a buzz the way he was sipping it, but he supposed a buzzed Logia user on the hunt would spell disaster in spades. [break][break]
When she finally did speak up, he simply raised an eyebrow at the first thing but didn’t bother to dignify it with a response. Drunks like this one rarely do unless they say something utterly stupid. Or do something utterly stupid that would require him to act as if on duty. He waited until gave him an actual answer, and when she did he nodded. [break][break]
”A good enough reason in these parts, and the most detached one. Very well. So we’re both looking to bring him down—what are you bringing to the table to help with that, exactly?” He asked, inclining his head. ”I’ll state what I can after you, since it is ladies’ first.”

What did Sinclaire have to bring to the table?
Never before had she been asked to quantify her skills and experience, especially to a stranger. She was, in all honestly, a little offended that he'd even ask.
"Well," she began to say with a little bit of an attitude; perhaps the new bottle had begun to take effect, "I could go on rambling about how I did such and such, or how I took down Joe Who-Gives-A-Damn—like most of these monkeys in here do, I'm sure. But something tells me that you're just a much for receiving lip service as I am giving it. So let me say this: what I bring to table is a partner who is willing to go in on this with you and split the prize fifty-fifty. And let's be honest with ourselves, it's doesn't really seem like the other idiots in this place are really lining up to go after the bounty, so, unless you feel confident enough to go after Cutthroat alone, it seems like we're the best each of us got at the moment."
Sinclaire waved her bottle-clutched hand in the air to signify her sass.
"What do I have to bring to the table?" Sinclaire attached the bottle to her lips and tilted back her head, consuming the remains of the bottle with three, very large, very audible, gulps as she slammed the bottle back down on the table. But she wasn't done yet. Her hand and forearm turned black as she imbued it with Busoshoku Haki and proceeded to crush the bottle in her hand, leaving herself unscathed. She looked back up at Zernebog with rosy cheeks and one eye involuntarily squinting.
"What do you have to bring to the table...?*hic*"

Instead of the bragging that Zernebog was admittedly half-expecting since the woman was drunk and at least on a second bottle, he instead got a demonstration. Not just any demonstration, mind you, but a rather impressive one – one of what was clearly armament haki. At least she pegged him well enough to know that he didn’t really pay much attention to lip service and was more interested in actual demonstrations. [break][break]
”Alright, you made your point.” He raised a finger up as if to signal said point. The raised finger then got pointed onto the table itself and then jabbed straight into the top of the table like a hot knife through butter. He pulled his finger out and there was a perfectly-neat hole in the top of the table, like it had been shot by a bullet. And unlike her, there had been no haki or anything of the sort – just sheer muscle and perfect technique. [break][break]
”And I believe I’ve made mine.” He commented with a light smirk before glancing around and then lowering his voice as he took on a more serious tone. ”You have any leads you might’ve heard of before I got in the bar? All I have right now is that bounty hunters tend to prefer the night to hunt their quarry down, so this would be the best time to begin to look for him. Who knows, maybe he has prey right here and he’ll just walk into the bar? But I doubt we’ll get that lucky.” [break][break]

Sinclaire looked cock-eyed at Zernebog, then down at the table, then back up at Zerne. " We are going after a dangerous character and your skill is the ability to put your finger through wood...?" A slight silence followed Sinclaire's rhetoric before she erupted in laughter. Any aggression that she felt and portrayed before had been erased and replaced by much lighter, albeit more scrutinizing, tone. " Are you for real? You're not screwing with me? I asked what you brought to the table, not to poke a hole in it!" Sinclaire continued to laugh profusely as tears began to well in her eyes. She slammed her hand on the table a few times to accompany her laughter, causing a few of the bar patrons to turn there heads and look over at what was going on. Though most returned to their own business, one enterprising man made the effort to approach the table where Zernebog and Sinclaire were sitting, he cleared his throat to announce his presence, but his effort was masked entirely by Sinclaire's cackling. He made another attempt, using his words this time as a more effective means of getting their attention. "Excuse me." The man would have gone ignored a second time, had Sinclaire not moved to wipe the tears from her eyes, glancing the newcomer i the periphery of her vision. Made made the motion to inspect him fully, trying as she could to quell her giggling as she looked at what was a nicely dressed man, middle-aged, and a bit shorter. His hair was thinning on the top of his head, but he more than made up for it with the bushy mustache that he carried on his upper lip. "Can I help you?" Sinclaire asked with a sigh of relief as her fit of laughter was being controlled. "I believe it is I that can help you—the two of you. You see, I couldn't help but overhear that you are going after Cutthroat, and I happen to have some information that may help you in the search for him. But, naturally, this information doesn't come for free." Sinclaire took a moment to peer at the man, clearing any residual tears from her eyes, before shrugging and turning to Zernebog. "Well, you heard him: pay the man." _________________________________________ ZERNEBOG ROMANOV |

There was a twinge of irritation at the sudden bout of laughter from the woman, but Zernebog didn’t let it show on his face. Instead, he put on an absolutely bored expression as he watched her continue to laugh – while rather galling that she didn’t recognize the technique, it was actually a good thing on his end as she didn’t know that it was from a Marine martial art and that it was strong enough to punch through even steel when he was using it. It made her underestimate him, which in turn would make their quarry underestimate him. [break][break]
That, and he wasn’t sure how much his powers had gotten around the rumor mill since he had been around Alabasta for some time now. They were flashy, obvious, and probably a dead giveaway to someone who would be watching the Marines around here a lot. So being incognito was worth the mocking laughter. [break][break]
Thankfully, there was someone who finally came to stop her from laughing – it was getting annoying. And with an offer for information, no less. ”That better be good information you have. It’s not just wood my fingers can go through. Bone and steel are equally as soft.” He remarked lightly before raising an eyebrow over at Sinclaire. ”I really ought to make you pay yourself because you laughed, but since you’re most probably broke I won’t… this time.” He added with a deadpan as he forked over the belli to the man. [break][break]
”Now talk." His demeanor was serious now, and there was cold warning in his gaze for a moment before it was replaced with a pleasant smile. [break][break]

 With greedy enthusiasm the man snatched up the berri and crammed into deep in the pockets of his trousers, so deep that one could have assumed that it would never see the light of day again. "Well, word is that Cutthroat absolutely despises pirates. What for—I haven't the faintest clue. But if you come across any pirate in Alabasta, odds are that Cutthroat ain't too far behind." The man paused in his delivery, almost half-expecting some sort of gasp, or applause. None were given. "That's it?" Sinclaire replied indignantly, giving a disappointed glare at their informant at the table, "your vital piece of information is to hang around pirates? What else do you got?" "Well," he led on, "there is one more thing, but it'll cost ya..." Sinclaire gave a heavy sigh and glanced to Zernebog with an expression that told him not to tie his purse strings just yet. "How much?" "Oh, I'm not necessarily interested in berri this time," his sentenced trailed off into a tone that Sinclaire could only describe as pervy. It was then that she noticed his overt gaze downward at her chest. "Oh these?" Sinclaire played along with feigned interest, "you want to see these, don't you?" She got up from her chair and closed the distance between her and stranger, sensually pressing her body against his. In excitement, he took a step back, back did not move far. Sinclaire's bosom rested gently against his body. She could feel his heart thump heavily through his chest. Leaning in close to his ear, Sinclaire whispered, "I bet you'd like to do more than just see them, wouldn't you? Well too bad." With lightning fast movement, Sinclaire's right hand grabbed the man's groin and gripped it like a vice. Though his heart rate was accelerated before, it was about to burst from his chest now. He made no sudden movements, knowing full the gravity of his situation. "If you think what my companion here can do with his finger is something, imagine what I can do with a fistful. Now tell me," Sinclaire said in a stern change of tone, looking into her captive's eyes, "where can I find Cutthroat?" "The Wastelands!" His voice was now an exacerbated gasp, a few octaves higher than it was previously. "What's that?" Sinclaire tightened her grip, causing the man to wince with as much freedom of movement as he could muster. "The Wastelands just outside Alubarna. That is where he makes his camp!" A large exhale of relief could be heard around the bar as the Sinclaire let go of the man, letting him drop to the floor. "Anyone else want to give me some good information?" Her tone was wild and aggressive. The room that had once laughed at her, and had just witnessed the events, now silently avoided eye contact with Sinclaire as she scanned the area. "That's what I thought." Sinclaire sat back down in her chair and resumed drinking from her bottle. "Well you heard the man," she said to Zernebog, acting cheery as if nothing had happened, "we have a location for this guy. Let's go get him. But before we head out: we need to stop by the blacksmith—there's something I need to grab."

At the barebones explanation they were given, Zernebog raised an eyebrow and silently gestured for the man to go on while his new apparent partner for the night demanded for more out loud. His eyebrow rose even higher at the man’s response and he was tempted to put him through the floor for that obvious attempt at bribery. He was off-duty right now and he could certainly find a reason for it if questioned because this was clearly a sleazy scumbag – one of the few perks of working at the kind of base he was in. [break][break]
He didn’t quite yet though upon seeing that glance the woman shot him and simply decided to let her take over, especially after he heard the asking price. He wanted to exactly where she would take this, but if their conversation earlier had been any indicator it ought to be entertaining at the very least. [break][break]
And as he saw the events unfold, Zernebog smirked when he saw that he was right. Classic ol’ bait and threaten approach was always a good source of entertainment, especially when it was from a stranger. The annoying sleaze was attempting sexual harassment, so he figured this was a good show of karmic backlash and justice, so he wasn’t going to interfere unless she went a step further. Thankfully though, she didn’t and just went ahead and threatened the room before looking at him with cheer like none of that just happened. [break][break]
Definitely interesting. Someone to watch. ”Sure, I don’t mind. I know where the Wastelands are so we don’t have to worry about asking for directions beyond what your victim gave.” He nodded over to the door. ”Ladies first since you want to pick something up on the way.” When she made a move to go out, he would follow to probably where that blacksmith of hers was. Or wherever it was she was leading them. [break][break]

"I think that you have a loose definition of 'victim' if you ask me." Sinclaire finished what was left of the bottle and proceeded to lead the way out of the bar, stepping over the man that she had incapacitated. The patrons didn't bother to throw glances at Sinclaire as she cut a swathe to the door. Her exit felt much more confident and triumphant than her entry only a short time ago. Stepping outside the bar, Sinclaire was immediately blinded. How quickly she had forgotten how bright it was outside. A few seconds, and some heavy squinting, were needed to re-adjust to the contrast of the sunny day. The angle of the sun suggested that it was past noon. They should be ready.With no time to waste, Sinclaire engaged in a fast-paced march away from the establishment—her boots kicking up small amounts of dust as she traversed from one street to the next. "So what's your deal anyway?" Sinclaire aimed her question behind her, despite keeping her gaze and gait straight ahead. Was Zernebog even behind her at this point? She had not even bothered to look over her shoulder to see if he had followed. It wouldn't have been the first time that a man she met at the bar ditched her at the first chance he got. "Do you always pick up on random ladies at the bar to help you catch criminals, or am I special?" Loaded as it was, there was a mixture of sarcasm and sincerity in her asking. "And what's with the finger trick? Did you pick that up from the Sea Devil?" Her questions would have to wait to be answered, however, as they had reached their destination. Tucked away in an alley sat an almost-decrepit blacksmith's shop with a sign hanging above it that read 'Belgrin & Sons' "Ah, you're back," croaked an elderly man covered in soot, sitting behind an anvil, pounding a piece of metal flat. "Are they ready?" "Indeed they are," he replied, not taking his eyes off of his work, "I finished them quickly. I reckon you should've just waited around. They're sitting on the bench there." "Yeah, well, I got distracted." She walked over to the place that the old blacksmith had referred to. On a bench cluttered with tools and half-shaped metals sat multi-slotted holster, fitted with multiple pistols sheathed inside. Sinclaire fastened it around her right thigh. It was snug, but not suffocating. From its pockets, Sinclaire drew one of the firearms and held it out with an extended arm, looking down its barrel. The sights were perfect. "How much more do I owe you Paulie?" "It's all covered," he tried to raise his voice to speak over the clinking sounds of his hammer, "thank you for your help with that situation." "I believe it's your turn to lead the way." Sinclaire continued to inspect her weapon, again not paying attention to where Zernebog was. "The name's Sinclaire, by the by."

Zernebog smirked at the observation. ”Maybe. Maybe not.” It was all he offered as an answer as he followed her out, stepping over the annoying greedy man as well after taking a quick moment to get the money he used to pay the man. As far as he was concerned, the first bit of information he paid for was bogus so he got to take his money back. He wasn’t going to waste his money on a panicky sleaze. [break][break]
A small part of Zernebog was amused to see that his new companion was squinting at the light as they came outside. He himself was unbothered – he’d only had one bottle of cheap booze and hadn’t been in there as long as she had, so he was fine. Heck, he was enjoying the nice warmth of the sun, letting it seep into the exposed parts of his dark skin while his silver hair actually glowed faintly under the sun’s glow. [break][break]
It didn’t take long for her to readjust though, and soon they were on their way. He blinked and chuckled when she asked him a barrage of questions, not quite giving him the time to answer before they were already there in the blacksmith’s shop. So instead of answering immediately, he let her work out that transaction with the blacksmith for what looked like a holster with a bunch of pistols in it. A gun nut, interesting – after all more than one pistol was excessive. [break][break]
She didn’t even look back at him to see if he followed, and he shook his head in amusement at that. ”You’re going to need to look to follow, unless you have observation haki.” He said as he began to walk in another direction, navigating the streets with ease as he began to head towards the place the man said their quarry was camped.
