[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.

You do realize there are ways to carry your weight besides fighting, right?

[Pidge can handle herself just fine, but she's still annoyed on principle. It's not her main skill.]

[whatshimadayou]

I am aware. There are many who have skills that I simply do not and their strengths are something to be acknowledged.

That does not mean you cannot learn another, enough to keep you alive in any case.

[reverseengineer]

The point of teams is that you don't have to. There are people who can protect you if you're unable to protect yourself.

[whatshimadayou]

And what will you do when no one is there to do the protecting?

Defend oneself how, exactly... ?

[Is this a judo class... archery 101... ?]

audio; un: okami

[whatshimadayou]

There are many ways. I would suggest beginning with basic unarmed self-defense, unless you had something particular in mind.

[grunehexe]

But you do think I could benefit from such a thing.

[She's just checking, because. The whole... barely-four-feet-tall-maybe-eighty-pounds-soaking-wet thing.]

[whatshimadayou]

I cannot think of a reason why you would not be able to.

Not offering this to people who can't understand you? [Which... she can, obviously. She's just asking.]

audio; un: okami

[whatshimadayou]

[Ah. Her. Hanzo sounds a little stiffer when speaking to her.]

I would offer, but I would not know how to. I will simply have to repeat myself later.

[cachemoney]

[IT'S A NITPICKY QUESTION, admittedly, so she barely registers the change in attitude.]

I guess the language barrier would make a classroom tricky. Even through... thought text. Or whatever. [Like hell she understands how it works. Magic psychic texting.] So you're teaching what, exactly?

[whatshimadayou]

I am full capable of teaching basic unarmed self-defense, or self-defense with general weapons; I'm familiar with guns, staves, and I am efficient with a bow and arrow.

Basic survival as well, for those who do not know how.

[while Jin agrees with him in theory...]

Train them, sure. But don't blame them for what they don't know. It's not their fault they were taken here against their will.

audio; un: okami

[whatshimadayou]

There is no blame. Only an expectation.

[pummelling]

In that case, I hope you'll be carrying your own weight, too.

[whatshimadayou]

I always do.

Location?

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

[whatshimadayou]

The courtyard. Why?

[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.

[Isn't it something odd to think about--the fact that Luffy probably understood BOTH languages he just said this in? He looks like he wants to laugh, but--He's going to respond to Hanzo in Japanese--with a noticable amount of English slang probably thrown in here and there.]

You had to repeat that twice 'cause some people are having trouble talking, huh.

It's so frustrating, I can't understand some people at all!!

[And he pointedly looks OVERJOYED to be able to still talk to Hanzo.]

Ne, do you think Hanzo can show me how to use a bow?

[Quick, think of a reason not to.]

[whatshimadayou]

[SIGHS, you sound like an idiot with that English peppered in. But he can understand you.]

Yes. I know a few other languages, but not as fluently.

[oh boy oh boy]

I could. But I won't.

[nishishi]

[He certainly does--but at least he's not as bad as Sanji with his French, right.]

Hwa, that's pretty impressive. Hanzo's pretty cool--

[AND ThEN HE HAD TO GO AND SAY THAT. He's pouting, he's really pouting.]

Why not??

[whatshimadayou]

Captain, you already know how to fight. My offer is for people who do not know how to defend themselves.

Besides, you do not have the discipline.
