[The message is stated first in English, then reiterated in Japanese.]

This is Hanzo.

Most of you already know how to defend yourselves, so this is not for you.

Those of you who do not, or wish to improve your skills, I offer this to you: our last mission was fairly calm in terms of what you are mostly used to. It was not without some perils, however, and I expect -- including these insects we must deal with now -- it will become strenuous again. You will either need to be protected, or you will need to fight.

I hardly expect you to kill. I expect you to know enough to defend yourself so you can carry more of your weight.

Speak with me, if you have any inclination to learn. I can multitask while killing these bugs.

Location?

[No "please", no explanation, just a "Where are you".]

[whatshimadayou]

The courtyard. Why?

audio; 1/2

[ryusoken]

No reason. Just- [He cuts off communication and-]

action; 2/2

[ryusoken]

[He runs off from the hallway to the courtyard at.. well the fastest human speed he could run at. Give or take 15-20 minutes? Maybe?? When he finally makes it to the area, he notices how huge the area is. Seeing as if it's gonna take timing the guy, he inflames his boots and jumps on fences and then on some leveled glass walls of various greenhouses surrounding the courtyard, but not without a crack or two on said panels. Stepstoning anything that wasn't entirely flammable, Sabo scouts the area for some time until he finds the partially shirtless archer taking shots at the horde of worm like bugs below. He decides to land there from the nearest glass pane of a nearby greenhouse, with a smirk on his face.]

Just thought I'd come by to assist.

[Sabo holds up a hand, and throws balls of fire at some of the bugs near Hanzo - hopefully to either burn them to pieces, or flee to warn the others of the colony of his presence.]

The bugs are rather troublesome, don't you think?

[whatshimadayou]

[From the distance, he heard someone approaching, and the crack on the panels certainly do not help. When the stranger gets close enough, Hanzo scowls over his shoulder before returning his attention back to the insects.

Then flames are thrown. Why not? Apparently McCree can use such magic now. Hanzo scowls and glares at him.]

I do not need assistance.

But yes, they are.

comes in an eternity later im sorry

[ryusoken]

So you say. [As he just throws a few more fire shots at bugs as they squirm away. He looks toward the man trying to veer away from him and laughs.]

But I think otherwise.

[Sabo doesn't mind the mess of the bug acid but he thinks.. arrows seem rather inefficient, Hanzo.]

Hopefully the swarm will dwindle and be less of hassle.

well lbr we both know i am no better

[whatshimadayou]

[Hanzo scoffs at him.]

Think what you would like, and be wrong.

[He gets that a lot. They're always incorrect his arrows are awesome]

Did you come simply to show off, or is there a point to your presence?

all we can do is try again

[ryusoken]

Both actually. [He trails a blaze of fire near the greenhouses. At least the plants inside won't catch fire...]

It's not wrong to help out someone though, is it? [He finger bangs at the scowling man, smirking ever so lightly.]

My name is Sabo.

[whatshimadayou]

Then help someone who requires it. You are an annoyance.

[Hanzo resists the urge, somehow, to roll his eyes.]

That is nice for you.

[He's going to start walking away now, like the delightful grump he is.]

[ryusoken]

You're a funny guy. I like you.

[He slides over to his side, his feet being on fire as he does this.]

You can't just walk awa- [As he takes a look closer at the man, he stares at his partial nudity. Not because of his skin showing ... he is distracted by your dragon tattoos.]

[whatshimadayou]

[For Hanzo's next comedy line, he says:] Go away.

I can and I will... [He trails off, then scowls when the other man stares.] What is the matter with you?

[ryusoken]

[I'm sorry.. he didn't hear that.. He's being too mesmerized by the embellished ink on your chest. He takes a few more seconds gawking at the tattooed area before he shakes his head out of the daze.]

I... your tattoo... it's..[a pause.] of a dragon. [He hovers his hand closer to the other man.]

[whatshimadayou]

[With the snap of his hand, he slaps Sabo's away, glaring at him.]

You have the ability to see. Congratulations.

[ryusoken]

[He holds his own hand after being slapped and huffs. He was curious, okay.]

And your name is?

[whatshimadayou]

I stated it already when I made my announcement. Then again, you do not look very bright.

I am Shimada Hanzo, and you will keep your hands to yourself.

[ryusoken]

Look I was more interested in the tattoo itself, not you.

Also? That was a joke, geez. Lighten up, Hanzo.

[whatshimadayou]

I do not care. Mind yourself.

It was particularly unfunny, then. [because this man knows the height of comedy]

[ryusoken]

You sure know sarcasm at least. [He can tell, he knows.]

...Fine, can you tell me more about the tattoo then? I'm really interested if there's a story behind it. [I mean, it screams dragon so already it's pretty cool.]

[whatshimadayou]

At least you are able to observe that much.

[Hanzo squints at him, baffled.] Why would I tell you when you have been irritating and arrogant during our entire interaction?

[ryusoken]

...Because, why not? [He shuffles his feet to a distance from Hanzo, though he's not on fire this time.]

I really like dragons. I have a fighting style that is based off one. It would pique my interest at least a little to hear it....coming from someone whose tattoos portray such a mystical creature. It must have some powerful meaning.

[whatshimadayou]

They do. Dragons have a powerful meaning in my family. Though to think you would have a fighting style based off of them is unimaginable.

[Though someone could have an excellent sense of fighting abilities and still be a moron, if Sanji is proof of such.]

[ryusoken]

Believe me, I would know. The fighting style I use is called "Ryusoken" which utilizes my hands, forming into claws like a dragon. This style was taught to me but none other than Monkey D. Dragon himself.

[He divides his fingers into three parts as described with both his hands, and holds it out to him in a fighting like stance.]

I use it a lot with "Haki" and it's pretty effective against just about any hard material. Be it armor, metal, you name it.

[whatshimadayou]

[Hanzo pauses, frowning as he looks over Sabo. When he thinks about it, it does remind him of the claws of the dragons he knows well.

But he makes no remark. No, it's the name that catches his attention more.]

Monkey D. Dragon. Any relation to Monkey D. Luffy?

[ryusoken]

[He stands back to a normal position, at the mention of the famous future King of Pirates.]

Monkey D. Dragon is Luffy's father.

I'm his brother.

[whatshimadayou]

[That earns a slightly baffled look on his face.]

You are not Ace.
