Ari continued to ask questions about the small country, though Elias was not able to answer a few of them in as much detail as Ari had wanted. However, he did find out that most of the country's food supplies were going to the person ruling over it, along with all of their tax money. Elias also informed Ari that he had heard rumors about shady business deals going on, but wasn't able to give any more details than that. Ari nodded and rested his head in his hand and one finger was lightly tracing his scar - he always did this when thinking about things. He thanked Elias and let the man get back to helping Kana before planning out the rest of his plan of action.

The clone just let out an exhausted groan, his arms stretching out towards the ground like melting taffy would. "Its too hot... No energy.." he complained. It was clear from the yells growing closer that if they didn't move now, the angry chefs would catch up to them. However, the clone didn't really seem to notice. All he was focused on right now was the scorching sun beating down on him.
~
"Super! All right, follow me." Jax waved his arm and turned back to the road, heading down the road nonchalantly. "So where do you guys come from, if I may ask?" he peered back at Kasopp and Kyoden, seemingly curious about them. "Why are you traveling the dangerous waters of the grand line?"
"Well it's top secret." Kasopp smirked, crossing his arms as he walked. "But if you must know, I'm from an island on the ground line called 'Supai'."
"You're from the grand line, yet you don't understand the impossibility of you traveling through them in a rowboat?" Jax interrupted.
Kasopp flinched, flustered by the question. "Well.. I.. I've never really been off of my home island before now." He explained nervously, but then shook off his embarrassment, doubling his hand into a fist. "But that's why I left. Because I have a dream to become the worlds greatest sniper!" He announced confidently.

No worries! I hope it went well! ^^]] It's not exactly a whole new state, but I'm moving into an apartment this Friday xD]]
"What? But you just ate like, a lot!" Scarlet held a hand to her forehead, feeling a little exasperated. Hearing the yelling getting closer, she went over her options. She could either pretend like she had caught this kid and hand him off to the workers, or she could grab him and try to run away again. From how the yelling sounded, it seemed like bargaining with those men was going to be a bit difficult so she stepped forward and grabbed the cuff of the clone's shirt. "C'mon, we're running again!" she announced and took off, trying to pull him along behind her.
~~~
"Right, and I'm going to become the world's greatest ninja," Kyoden joked, smirking. He paused as he pieced together what he was going to say next. His home island wasn't exactly a place no one had ever heard of. "I'm from Wano, to answer your question," he said to Jax. "And before you ask how I got all the way over here, I've been hitching a ride with these pirates for a while now. Well, I invited myself aboard quite a few ships before ending up with them."

Kana was just finishing up the medicine and treating the patients. It had taken some time, but Kana worked without rest and finished faster than most would have. Now they just had to wait and see if the patients got better.

"It's hoooooot!!" The Clone continued to complain, but actually started running behind Scarlet despite his exhausted state. He glanced over at the ocean and his eyes lit up. "Water!" He exclaimed, suddenly switching directions and dragging Scarlet quickly towards the sea.
Meanwhile on the same island..
Another ship pulled up on the docks.. but it wasn't a navy ship. It was smaller than a normal ship, but was still large enough to hold a small crew. The sails were rainbow colored, with a familiar smiling pirate symbol brandishing it. A Don Quixote ship had arrived at this small island. Sauri stepped off the ship followed by a couple crew members. "We've tracked the navy ship this far.." she said quietly into a small transponder snail.
"Excellent.." Came a dark, chuckling voice from the other end. "Find the kid and bring him back here. We were offered a very nice reward for his safe return." There was some more sinister laughing and then the snail hung up.
Sauri sighed, putting the snail back into her pocket. The navy had offered Adram a lot of money to return this important experiment back to them, but he claimed to be 'too busy' to deal with it himself. So she got stuck with the dirty work. Of course.. she knew the real reason why he sent her instead of one of his more trusted subordinates. The navy wanted the clone returned safe.. a word none of the other puppets understood.
~
"The Wano kingdom? Dang, you really are far from home." Jax laughed. "I heard they were really isolated and refused to interact with those outside their own country. Why did you decide to leave?"
Kasopp stayed silent this time, curious as to why this foreigner would travel all this way.

lol that's good xD]]
Ari had finished up his conversation and was now awaiting the return of one more crew mate as Kana finished up. By now he had a good idea what state this city was in, everything was going smoothly so far. It felt a bit strange. "Were you able to get to all of them?" he asked Kana, walking over.
~~~
Scarlet let out a surprised grunt as she was dragged the other way, though in hindsight she felt she really shouldn't have been that surprised. "Ok, guess we're going this way now," she said, trying to keep up with the clone. She noticed they were headed for the ocean and got an idea. "Hey! If we reach the shore before they catch us, we can hide on my ship!" she suggested.
~~~
"That's exactly why. I got bored. My family was a samurai family, retainers of some more important family. I didn't feel like being a samurai, so I took the next chance I got and left," Kyoden explained, keeping things short and sweet. "Yeah, obviously I never went back."

Th clone laughed and got up next to the shore, not hearing what Scarlet had told him. "Finally, I'm dying of thirst!" he took in a big mouthful of the ocean water and froze for a second before spitting it out and coughing. "Salty!!!" He coughed, wiping his tongue off with his hand. "Now I'm even more thirsty..." he complained.
~
Sauri was walking down the island town when she suddenly heard yelling coming from near the beach line. She noticed a couple of chefs running around the place and she went up to one who had stopped to catch his breath. "Excuse me?" She asked, looking the man over. "What is the commotion about?"
"This dirty rotten.. stretchy freak destroyed our stand and ate all of our supply!" He huffed angerly.
"Stretchy?" Sauri asked, a bit taken aback. Could they have already found who they were looking for. She dug into her pockets and pulled out a picture. "Did he look like this?"
"Yeah, thats him! The dirty thief! Last I saw him he was running with an accomplice towards the sea!"
Sauri nodded to the crew and they ran past her. She pulled out a bag of coins and handed it to the chef. "Halt your search." She said before quickly moving towards the shore.
~
"That does sound pretty boring.. One country, all the time." Jax nodded. "Ive always thought about how neat it would be to visit, but they've got those strict foreigner laws and stuff, you know?"

"Yes," Kana replied, packing everything up. "They should be fine, if they want to pull through." She picked up her kit. She shouldn't be needed here anymore, and in truth she didn't want to stay. Normal civilians both bored and frustrated her.

Scarlet sighed. "Of course it's salty, it's the ocean. Come on, I have fresh water on my ship," she said. Starting in the direction of the docks, she noticed that the yelling behind them had died down. She hoped it was because the workers had given up their search, but when was it ever that easy? "By the way, what's your name?" she asked suddenly, realizing she had totally forgotten to do so earlier. She reached out one hand. "I'm Scarlet."
~~~
Kyoden nodded. "Yeah, let's just say that if I ever felt like returning home, I wouldn't be welcomed back." He sighed, and snorted at his own comment. "As if I'd ever feel like doing that."
~~~
"Good," Ari said. With a glance at Kana, he got the feeling she was done with this place completely. Well, seh did get her part of the mission finished, now the rest was up to him. His thoughts were then interrupted by loud noises coming from outside the large room.
An employee of the inn burst through the door with a look of fear and panic on their face. "It's the guards! They're ruining the place, and demanding the revolutionaries!" they cried.
"Wonderful," Ari muttered. Rolling up his sleeves, he pushed his way past the employee through the door.

Kana watched Ari push past the employee, before she followed. She was done here, and anyways, it was her job to be ready in case the guards somehow managed to wound him in any way.

"Eh...." the clone looked confused, as if he couldn't even remember his own name. "Um.. oh yeah!" He held out his arm, a long serial number printed along his sleeve. "I can never remember!" He laughed.
Sauri headed towards the beach, searching through the town as she did in case they detoured. "Block off the shore. Don't let any ships out." She ordered the navy soldiers on her crew. They nodded and headed out to block the docks. "We can't let him off the island."
~
Jax just nodded, deciding it would be best to leave it at that. "So what's your goal?" He asked

"Your name is a...string of numbers? What kind of parent gives their kid that kind of name?" Scarlet looked at the clone, not quite realizing what the number could mean. She crossed her arms and furrowed her eyebrows. "Well, do you have a nickname or anything? That's way too many numbers for me to remember," she said.
~~~
Kyoden shrugged. "It used to be to go sail on a pirate ship, but that's already done. Maybe I will become the world's best ninja," he said with a laugh. "But then my captain was telling me about the yonkou a while back and I liked the sound of it," he added.
~~~
Ari turned around the corner and was met with a small squad of armed guards standing just inside the doorway, gun barrels aimed directly at his head and then at the others who rounded the corner after him. The employees in the room were either hiding behind walls or running from the room with looks of confusion and fear on their faces. Ari on the other hand wore a scowl on his face as he noticed the guards had taken the last of his crew mates hostage.
"You're Ari of the revolutionary army?" One of them asked, and upon receiving an affirmative answer from Ari continued talking. "This guy's one of yours right? We'll let him go uninjured if you come with us."
At that Ari looked back at Kana and spoke in a low voice. "At midnight bring the men to the ruler's palace." As soon as he finished speaking a shot rang out, sending the bullet through his forehead. It met no resistance though, and sand filled in the hole as he turned to approach the guards who were now looking a bit on edge. "I'll go with you, if you release him first."

Kana's eyes were fixed on the guards, but she nodded in understanding anyways. She knew she could take the guards all out right now, but also knew that Ari would be upset, especially if it got their crew mate killed, though it didn't make a difference to her if he was alive or dead.

"Well sometimes I heard the nerdy guys call me 'The Clone.'." He told her, then remembered how hot it was. "Ugggghhh! Water!" He complained, getting drowsy again.
Jax nodded. "Thats a big dream all right. The four emperors are tough guys, and not a force to take lightly."
"You becoming an emperor of the sea sounds more unlikely than me becoming the world's greatest sniper." Kasopp shook his head. He looked up at Jax, lifting an eyebrow. "You seem so interested in us, but what about you? What's your goal? To become an old shipright on this old island?"
Jax laughed, shaking his head. "This is just a start fellas. I'm going to become the shipright of the king of the pirates someday!" He smirked

Sorry I wasn't on yesterday, my roommates took me to Universal Studios~]]
"The Clone? That's a weird nickname... Well, you do look a lot like Monkey D. Luffy, so maybe that's why," Scarlet murmured, narrowing her eyes in thought. "And who are these nerdy guys? Wait, nevermind. Anyway, like I said, I have water on my ship. It's right over there." She pointed to the docks in the distance. She slipped her shoes off and emptied them of sand one at a time before resuming the walk to her ship.
~~~
Kyoden shrugged and disregarded Kasopp's comment about his goal, and then looked at Jax. "But, doesn't there need to be a king of the pirates for you to do that? You're going to be waiting a long time," he said.
~~~
Ari gave the guards a hard stare as they stood motionless. A few silent seconds went by before they finally released the revolutionary. They gave him a shove as Ari approached them, and once he was close enough they seized him and wrapped his wrists up with rope. He smirked, they obviously hadn't done their homework.
"What's with that look?" One of them asked, giving him a jab.
"Nothing," was his reply as they led him outside.
Shall we skip ahead to midnight?]]

Yes))
As midnight approached, Kana led the way to the mansion as Ari had told her too. The others followed behind her, but she paid them no mind, a hand on her weapon in case she was forced to fight, which she didn't want. She stopped when they reached their destination.

Hi!]]
Ari sat looking out the window of his cell. Everything was quiet, except for the hiss of the wind and snow. The moon was high in the sky when he made his break. The rope around his wrists fell to dust along with the man standing guard outside the cell. He managed to break out the window and floated over the lawn as a cloud of sand. After spotting Kana and the others, he stopped next to her and faced the group. "As expected, the lower floors are filled with guards. If you all are able to get their attention I will be able to get into the ruler's room and finish the job." He sai, speaking in a low voice.

"Water?" The Clone's eyes lit up, the ship ahead suddenly looking like heaven itself. He stretched out his arm, wrapping it around Scarlet before whipping his other arm back and throwing it to the dock where her ship was. He grabbed the edge and sling shotted them both through the air. Before they reached the dock, however, his arm got wobbly again, and sent them crashing into the sand in front of the dock.
"That's why I'm still here." Jax shrugged. "I havnt found the person who's right for the job yet."

Scarlet raised herself from the sand and stood on her hands and knees. She spat out a mouthful of sand before leaning back and sitting on her knees. "Thanks for that," she muttered, trying her best to wipe the rest of the sand from her clothes and hair. She looked ahead at her ship and stood up. "At least we're a lot closer now, come on." After she finished speaking Scarlet reached over and pulled the clone to his feet.
Kyoden placed his hand on Jax's shoulder. "Good luck with that," he said.

Kana nodded. "We'll do it," she replied. "Only question, do you want me to get involved?" It was obvious that she meant fighting. She would be there in case the others received injuries, but if she had to fight she would, even if it meant risking the lives of everyone.

Hiya!]] Sorry for poofing!]]
"If you are needed, which you may be, then go ahead," Ari said. "I will open the doors, then everyone rush in and I will continue on to the second floor. The three of you with ranged weapons stay outside and aim at the guards through the windows. If there are no more questions, then let's go. I'll see you all out here once it's over." He turned to face the mansion, confident that this group will be able to succeed, and rushed to the large wooden doors. Two of the gunmen in the group took out the pair of guards by the door in time for Ari to turn it to dust.

Kana nodded, and then waited for the rest of the men to follow Ari before she went, taking the rear. It was safer to not get involved this way, at least, until she had too.

After the others had succeeded in drawing the guards' attention, Ari ran up the stairs leading to the leader's room. A couple guards caught sight of him and fired at him, though he dropped to the ground as a pile of sand when he heard the first gunshot. He ducked down a hallway and dealt with them with his scimitar, going to to stop in front of his goal. No sooner had his footsteps stopped than the door swung open and he came face to face with his target.
"What on earth is going on?!" The man yelled. He was slightly shorter than Ari with short brown hair and wrapped in a long robe.
"I should be asking you that question," Ari responded.
Meanwhile, on the lower floors, more guards came rushing in once they had heard the sounds of fighting and were notified that Ari had escaped.

The clone laughed. "That was fun! I guess the vegetable guy was right, I really do need to work on my devil fruit powers!" He grinned, shaking the sand out of his hair. "Hey, what's goin on there?" He asked curiously, looking over at the dock, where navy soldiers started to swarm. "I guess the navy did find me after all." He laughed again.
~
Jack laughed, nodding his head. "I'll find him.. or her someday. I've got an eye for those types of people. My mentor did too..."He smirked. "I learned everything I know from that super guy."
