It didn’t take long for Samehana to catch sight of a mobilization of Marines to follow. In the interests of attempting to go unseen, she followed alongside the company of Marines from the rooftops. Whatever they were here for, they definitely meant business. What could be so important that the World Government would need this much manpower? It was especially odd since, sirens aside, there wasn’t much disturbance besides the sudden appearance of the Navy.

Eventually, the squad stopped and began to take position surrounding a cafe. Intrigued, Samehana tried to make out the figures she could see from her position. The ones at the forefront were a big ol’ Fishman, who she almost felt that she might have recognized from back home, and a young-looking kid wearing a bright red coat. [i][color=9966CC]”Well, what do we have here? The Navy’s arresting kids now?”[/color][/i] Samehana thought, whistling as she took a cross-legged sitting position on the roof across from the cafe for the sake of a more leisurely viewing experience. Couldn’t hurt to see what would happen, right? It sure would be nice if the crew had some Den Den Mushi on hand, or else it’d be a lot easier to just let the other two know what was going on.

Then again, Sancho and Church were probably in the midst of looking for her anyway. Maybe they were gonna try and get outta Loguetown before things got [i]too[/i] crazy. Probably a bit late for that, though.

Zepp sighed and shook his head, ever-present smirk never leaving his face for a moment. “I’d rather not think about all the beli I could be making off these punks’ bounties, thank you very much.” he retorted, scoffing at the “game” that Johnny took to playing. Navy wages weren’t the worst, but some of the bounties made Zeppelli a little jealous of the random bounty hunters that roamed the world. Sure, maybe nabbing a real bad mammajamma might land you a sweet promotion if you’re lucky, but Zepp was pretty content where he was. Who woulda thought being a Marine could be so annoying?

Zepp raised an eyebrow at the Captain’s hybrid order/suggestion. “I mean…. I could try blowing on the sails, but I’m afraid that won’t do much good.” he joked. Frankly, there wasn’t too much he could do about the ship’s approach. But…. “Tell you what. It’s probably a bad idea, and frankly, I don’t like it myself, but if we can get a cannonball fired at or at least over Lieutenant Gorilla’s ship, I guess I can give him a hand.”  he suggested. If he could just meld onto the surface of some ammunition, he could get there in decent time, [i]and[/i] with minimal effort on his part. The hard part would come when he actually got to the allied vessel.
