The Celestial Dragon Turned Pirate

Chp 7

.

Your log pose, that you flirted into getting from Shanks btw, seems to have pointed you in the direction of a nearby island, and seeing as you were going need to restock on both booze and medical alcohol I decided to dock at this island.
You were already here. You might as well.

Your ship was bearing a jolly roger, you decided to dock on the other side of the island, hopefully praying that this island tolerated pirates at the very least

'Enough to do business I see' you thought witnessing a few pirates loading boxes onto their ship with no haste.

"well, it's time to tick off what's needed for my list I guess" referring to the list in her head, writing one out seemed to be physically taxing for the oh so high and mighty warlord.

Headed to what she assumed was the city, nearing the slightly bubbly atmosphere, she was off to acquire the medical stuff before the other so she found herself heading to a little bakery, she was feeling peckish

surprisingly, the shop's name was also called *peckish* "How convenient" you thought walking by. You stopped and asked for the shopkeep to recommend a local snack, you figured you might as well try something local for the sake of trying new things

The looks you received while passing by didn't go unnoticed by the warlord, you knew that with being a warlord and all people are bound to be weary of you the minute they see your jolly roger, even with the whole "being on the marines side" business, the uncertainty was definitely there in the people eyes.

After all I could very well decide to quit being a warlord this very second and their status would go from being under the pretense that they're safe to being utterly doomed because I suddenly felt bored of the Marine life, "Hah! hilarious." you thought

"That'll be 150 berries please." the shopkeep said handing her the bag of baked goods and a small drink

you paid for your food while also asking about where the nearest hospital was to go there afterwards, the shopkeep kindly gave you the directions and got back to get work

You were eating and walking at the same time, "if mother saw me right now I'd be berated with no end"

you were never one for that anyways, you figured if I were eating and walking at the same time I'd be burning some of the calories in currently consuming, no? it seemed to work for you so you paid it no mind.

the hospital came into view while slurping on your near empty drink, you went inside. You deduced that if there's a hospital then there's a pharmacy or something too.

After being convinced into getting a whole new first aid kit with a separate bottle alcohol when you had originally planned on getting one item from the pharmacy, you put your items into your bag and headed to get the real alcohol for the journey.

You passed a few bars on the way from the peckish store so you knew you'd pick up some booze on the way back when they were open

*Di'ling* the bell to bar rang as you entered, suddenly everyone started at your figure by the doorway. it was the typical stare down, which happens in almost every bar. Ignoring the stares, some of which seemed more lewd than others, you went straight to the counter and asked the pretty bartender lady for a glass and the pretty bartenders name, smirking in her direction.

People in bars seem way too relaxed to see a pirate like me, must be bc they do business with them or there's something or someone else at play of keeping this island safe from invasions or robberies by pirates. Oh well that's not my problem, my current problem was trying to figure out the lady's name because it seemed fun to do

"Flirting won't get you a discount, Ms Warlord," she answered to my antics while I was on my 6th drink at this point.

"Oh? it seems my reputation precedes me, so seeing as how you already know the name of this lowly pirate that is I, would a generous tip be enough for the pretty lady to tell me her name?" you said slightly drunk. To which she just chuckled in your way, and that was her response.

Chugging down my last drink, I turned to her direction once more and said "Ok this is my last order, I'd like 2 barrels no make that 3 barrels of booze to go please" a burp escaping your mouth rather willingly "Oh please excuse my manners, I may be a teeny itty bitty drunk by I'm fine swear" crossing my fingers and burping again

"Are ya sure Ms warlord?" she asked the slightly drunk hot woman at her bar 'gosh why are the bad ones always my type!!' she thought

"Miss."

"Huh?"

"Its Miss warlord sweetheart, although I wouldn't mind making you my missus" the pi with a rat(e) said

'Oh Great HEAVENS, she's going to kill me with all this flirting, but you gotta stay strong Julianne you won't give in to her, you've seen many others do the same she's doing now! what if they're all the same!'

"Oh apologies, the barrels will be delivered to your ship tomorrow morning I'll have staff bring it ov-"

"That won't be necessary I'll take them to my ship right now, oh and how much do I owe you?"

"uhm.. 50k per barrel plus the 6 drinks you had, comes up to 159 000 berries please and the barrels will be right out" she smiles at you

You but a bag of 160k on the counter, paid in full with a tip for your lovely bartender and watched her staff carry out the barrels one by one, you smiled back.

"Julianne." a bit of red dusting her face

"Ah so the tip worked? Well it's been a pleasure Miss Julianne, and I hope you have a lovely evening." you said as you were holding her hand and kissed it. Then walked over to your purchases and picked up two in one hand and the last on the other, easily

the onlookers shocked by a sudden display of strength, their mouths gaping, considering you were flirting with the bartender a few seconds ago and now this? damn woman!?

I feel like adding character notes because why not?

C-Notes (get it?)

- the shopkeep wanted to charge you more because you seemed like a tourist but you looked pretty so she didn't charge you extra

-some of the guys at the pharmacy felt bad for making you buy so much, but their pockets thanked you

- Julianne didn't give you her name because of the tip you gave~ she definitely thought your flirty drunk was cute unlike the drunk men she has to serve most times.
