Flint listened to the Captain's request. A pet? There was an amused look on his face as he went on his way. He mentally put that on second on his to-do list. He was going to get the supplies first and then search for something. Finally, he'd pursue his own personal agenda. He just hoped he'd have time to do it all. He kinda was unsure about the matter of the pet, what would she like best? 

It was as he walked that he noticed his tiny compatriot, the woman affected by the devil fruit which made her look like a small fairy. She had a disguise of sorts as she hung close the ground. He said to her, "Feel free to accompany me on the shopping trip, but we'll have to part ways once we're done. Maybe, you can help me select a pet suitable for the Captain."  

After saying all that to Willow, he made his way to the markets. It was probably his favorite thing to do when visiting towns, to go the markets and absorb all the motion and crowdedness. He liked the feeling of melting into just one of the many faces in the crowd as they went about their business. This peace however, would not last as he found something catching his eyes and ears a bit further ahead as he passed to the area where all the food merchants were. He saw an old man being harassed by some pirate and he was close enough to eavesdrop on them.

His training kicking in, he got closer to them to observe them without catching their eye. It was at that moment the pirate took out a gun. Flint felt himself compelled to intrude on this argument immediately. In the blink of an eye, his large square sword was being used as a massive paddle to swat the man to the ground before he could fire it off. A well placed boot planted itself on his chest as he dug in his heel just a little bit for emphasis. He bent over as he aimed his shotgun at him saying threateningly, "Shade pirates huh? Well you're not the big payoff I was looking for, but I think you'll be enough to pay for my meal tonight."
