Flint put on a pensive pose as he listened to the Mayor describe his and the town's woes. He wondered if he could please the little captain with a pet if they've destroyed the pet shops around here. But as he listened, he found himself focusing on the fact that the captain has some sort of phobia or a severe enmity towards animals in general. He couldn't piece it together but there was something there. Something he could use to leverage an advantage.

"Well If they're that disruptive and their Captain has a big enough bounty to be chased by marines, well I just can't say no to doing a little bounty hunting and taking care of this pirate problem for you." Flint said as he continued thinking. He was dismissive of this being simple madness. He felt like there's a devil fruit involved. Of course, he could be wrong and the captain is just insane. "Well I'll be on my way to clear out these pirates now. 

As he walked away he could smell smoke and he heard an explosion. However, he didn't go check it out as he was already committed to the task of hunting down the pirates and their captain. "Tcch.. This place is too small to contain any madness." He said as he walked towards the exit of the town. He would soon find himself walking into the wilderness and straight to the swamps.
