Soft wailing sounds shook the alley as a group of naked men kneeled together, their knees touching and a tiny stream of tears flowing from their eyes.
"d.a.m.n, if I'd known there weren't any women here I wouldn't have bothered to make those cliché lines…" I moaned in sadness, before promptly turning to the man that had led us to this elaborate, albeit failed robbery attempt.
"Which family are you under?" I asked clearly as I looked at the pitiful senile old man. Sorren nodded behind my back while Fawkes simply stood to my side awaiting the man's reply.
"...Colombo…." the man muttered softly as he attempted to push the words through his teeth, "The last time I got in contact with the family was four months ago to hand over a part of my earnings as a commission…" he continued showing none of the previously shown indecision. He reminded me of a bath tub that had had its plug pulled spilling information indiscriminately after the initial reveal.
"They let me work in the fountain area, it's one of the best parts of their turf, I can con loads of travelers there, they even have a very liberal money collection plan.." he said harping away at the plus points of the business that he had recently taken a fancy to.
"So tell me geezer, why the preferential treatment to you..?" I asked curiously, the man hadn't been very strong, and he wasn't very loyal either, leading me to question how he was able to convince a cut throat family like the Colombo's to give him prime land from their turf.
"Well that's because, I defected from the up-and-coming Gambino family with valuable information in exchange for that spot..Now the Colombo's have an upper hand in the union auction! They even managed to snag a couple of the Gambino merchandise!!" he replied puffing out his chest like a proud peac.o.c.k and showing a look of ardent pleasure as he spoke of his new employers.
"Hoh..? What is this 'union auction'?" I asked curiously.
"It's an auction held every five years, jointly organized and managed by the big six! At the end of the day the one with the most expensive merchandise goes home with the most profit. You have everything from expensive Devil fruits to weapons- Once one of the 'O Wazamono' series swords had been auctioned off there!! The auction is even frequented by some world n.o.bles!" He said proudly puffing out his chest.
'Hoh world n.o.bles huh..? Interesting…' I thought as I smiled a little.
"So, what was this merchandise that you informed the Colombo's about?"
" It was a caravan of slaves! I heard that the one who was supplying the Gambino s made a special deal with the head of the family Tod Gambino, he would be paid back in treasures instead of money! He was given the family's only unknown devil fruit! And that was because the other party was too lazy to negotiate" he said happily.
"Hoh… It seems like our dear flamingo friend was returning from here, and just happened to meet us in Minnon!" I said chuckling darkly as I looked back at my crew.
"It makes me kind of happy to know that not only did we kill him, we also got him to cough up the 'unknown' devil fruit" Fawkes said with a slight chuckle. "Hey Fawkes don't say that to loud! The Marines will be after us for animal cruelty!!" I said as I clicked my tongue in mock anger.
"So, Gezer. What should I do with you? kill you, decapitate you, give you to the Gambino s? I'm sure they have a good local bounty out for you.." I said as I returned to the man in question, licking my lips slightly.
"Eh.? I th-thought that since I gave you the information, you would let me go!!" He wailed stuttering and crying sharply. Huge tears flowed down his gruff pear-shaped face before dropping down to the dirty ground with a dull thud.
Slowly a bored expression overtook my face as I sighed. The man had become too annoying to handle, "You should just go to sleep.." I muttered softly before knife-handing him to the base of his neck.
He collapsed with a resounding thud as I looked on at him with a an apathetic expression.
"Boss, what do we do with this fat heap now?" Sorren asked, delighted that he could finally use the term fat to refer to someone other than himself.
"Hmm, give me a moment.." I said before I consulted my fruit for anything that we could use a body for.

"Got it!" I said as I re-read the parasite making recipe, "hehe, let's go, boys! back to the s.h.i.+p!!"
*************************************************************************************
Garp groaned unsteadily as he looked out from the s.h.i.+p. He had just left from the Swallow islands and currently had a belly full of rage with nowhere to vent them. So again it had landed on his trusty a.s.sistant to briefly a.s.sume the position of punching bag, for the good of the voyage, he had been a.s.sured.
So now he stood almost foaming at the mouth as the Vise Admiral expelled loud bursts of air in his general direction in a nasty and foul mood.
"Sir, we got information of a marine s.h.i.+p sporting pirate colors and a foolish 'NOT MARINE' painted on the side, we can only a.s.sume that they are the same as the people who trashed the swallow island HQ and in extension killed off Doflamingo! they seemed to have moored unheedingly in plain sight at Rubeck island! We are currently awaiting further orders!" A marine said saluting briefly before promptly escaping from the room.
Garp fumed as his a.s.sistant gulped, before beginning to write a mental will that he hoped he would be able to write down…..
