"Oh shit..." Leroy spoke as he watched the battered man attempt to stagger to his feet. He seemed, really old, grey thinning hair on his head as he pulls the straw hat from the dirt. Dusting it on his torso as he readies to stand up only for Leroys hand reached out to him "Took quite the tumble there." Leroy said with a smirk. "Blast these Damnable Pirates..." The man spoke in an accented voice. Looking up To Leroy's hand. "Dhank you..." The mans knees roared as he raised to his feet. He stood an inch shorter than the Captain as he pat his shorts.
Kirk looked to the side, looking a bit surprised as Leroy went off to help the man. He did smile slightly. His captain was a nice person, he had done so many good things, yet he had a two hundred million berri bounty. He turned back to the other fishman, remembering he was supposed to be a business man and got right back to work. "Are you sure you can't go half off on the flour? You're selling it for way too much! Cmon!"
While Kirk got back to shopping and bargaining and Unfortunately not being able to gain an inch on the Salesman. The First Mate walked up behind Leroy as he began to immediately ask questions to the Elderly Man
"What happened to you?" He tilted his head to the side "Well…Like I said, those Damn Pirates tossed me out for-" He turned behind him to shout "Speaking my Mind!" He pat himself down with his wrinkled and leathered pair of hands
"Really?" Leroy couldn't help but smirk at the Notion "What'd you say?"
"Eh- Pah. It's nothing." The old man said waving off the notion before looking to Leroy and extending his hand "I'm Theodore Lantis. Naturalist, Antiquarian, And Former Explorer."
"Falcon D. Leroy. Future King of The Pirates." Leroy said Taking his hand and giving a firm grip and solid shake "Leroy, Huh? That's a nice name!" Compliment Lantis. "Those guys give you any trouble by the way, you let me know." He offered, giving a smirk. "C'mon Let me Buy you a Drink. I wanna hear about this 'Naturalist' and 'Adventurer' thing."
He said, giving the man a pat on the back as he led him to the large open bar. "Kirk!" Leroy Called "What?" Kirk asked in a partially annoyed voice
"Me and K will be in the Bar!" He said before even letting the Navigator get another irritated word in. 'I just told him-' he thought to himself as he grimaced and relented before looking back at the Salesman. Buying even more from them, namely Milk, Honey and Nuts.
The Bar was packed with patrons. From grizzled men with beards at the tables chugging pints of beer to those playing a game of Five Finger Fillet. To the man at the bar who wore multiple pistols and holsters across his white dress shirt.
Kále, Leroy, and Lantis sat down at the Bar. A man at the Far side slumped over. The Bartender, a Large stout, barrel-chested man with a flannel shirt and apron walked up to the two.
"What can I get for ya?" Spoke to the Bartender as he rested on the bar. His Almond eyes relaxed, yet aged with crowfeet from the years of work on the island
"Hmm." Leroy Perused the Menu that was written into a plank of wood with ink across its surface. The Prices for Everything were surprisingly cheap. A wide variety of foods that Leroy had never really heard of. Nor even tried! But one did stand out 'Steamed Dumplings' "I'll Take the Steamed Dumplings-" He looked to the side to realize. The Man next to him was almost verbatim saying what he was. Ordering the exact same thing "Heh-"
The Man turned to the Side to look at Leroy "Seems Like you've got some good taste buds on you-" Spoke the man next to Leroy. His voice was deep and Reverberating. Leroy was able to get a good look at his face. His skin was dark and tanned. Hair braided and locked, flowing down his back, pieces of gold accented it. With loose strands of Wavy hair throughout.
He looked rather muscular, a healthy layer of fat stretched across his physique.
"Yeah, seems like you do too." Smirked Leroy. Something was about this man. He couldn't quite place. "I guess that'll be two orders of Steamed Dumplings!" Leroy said turning back to the Bartender "Alright. And anything to drink?"
"Whatever's on tap." Responded the Captain. "Yeah. Whatever's on tap" He said, shaking the Empty large glass pint in his hand. The Small beads and bits of Jewelry jingling on his wrist
"Alright." Spoke the Man at the Bar. Taking the Dark Skinned Man's Glass and Picking out a newly shined glass for Leroy Before Pulling the Tab. Foamy amber Liquid filled the Glass. Bubbles rush to the surface to create a layer of foam. The Bartender sat down the Two drinks for the two patrons "I'll get the Steamed Dumplings out in a second."
Leroy looked to the Large Pint before looking to Kále "You don't want anything?"
The Swordsmen simply shook his head and seemed to be lost in his mind as he sat on the other end of Lantis. Their eyes drifting off to the table as though he were going to drift off. He figured that his captain could handle anything thrown his way.
