[b]Location - Loguetown - Before they set sail for the Grandline[/b]

[color=f7976a]"Ah, it has truly been ages since I had a motivation like this. Years of pirating have returned me to the beginning of my first novel. 'The Brilliant Gold Roger' written by 'the equally brilliant Nikko.'"[/color] The writer stood at the helm of his ship, and could do nothing about his smile. It had been too long since he'd been allowed to participate in his personal hobbies. And his crew, despite a bit annoyed that their captain had taken them from their usual poaching grounds in the Grand Line, had returned them all the way to the East Blue for another book. Sure, he'd done it before, but most of them hadn't joined the crew yet when he wrote his first novel. 

Nikko though, was obsessed once more. [color=f7976a]"Now, Luffy didn't rob anybody here, but rather he destroyed the execution platform. I don't have lightning like he did, but I can easily set it on fire. So, while the rest of you can go onto the island and do as you wish, don't do anything to get yourselves sent to the execution platform. I plan to destroy it. It's the only way I can really share empathy with great pirate king, Luffy."[/color]
[b]"Boss, you really can't get empathy for somebody by burning stuff..."[/b] One crew member mumbled as the captain of the Red Lion pirates swanned about on the deck of his ship. 
[color=f7976a]"Nonsense, Shigeuchi knows exactly how I feel."[/color] Nikko retorted, naturally referring to his First Mate. Well, his father's first mate, and now his. He'd have to visit his father at Impel Down again one of these days. 

With that said, the ship rocked as it finally made dock, and the crew of nearly a hundred pirates shared smiles. One by one, they began to move into Loguetown. Snatching a necklace, threatening somebody in a back alley, or just causing general trouble. While their Captain, the glorious Nikko, turned his eyes down the main road, and began to follow the notes he had amassed. He was going to burn the whole city to the ground, in emulation of Luffy's own action. And once he was done... 

He'd return to the Grand line, and continue his novel there. 

Brilliant.
