"So you really put a ad in the News Coo?"

"Yeah."

"You do know people will try to kill each other for that amount of Beli."

"And? So what of it?"

"I mean you are the Boss, Morio. "

"Relax, though that may happen. The turn out, simply due to the promise of that amount, will be large. And relax they'd have to figure out where to find it anyway."

The talk between the man and a member of the Morio family was brief. And hold no real significance. What was important was the New Jaya, as many called it, was now open to the public. Though, it had been up and running for months now no one actually knew it existed. There were many reasons for this. One was because those that founded this little project didn't know if it would actually work out. As they didn't want another situation like Jaya, well the old Jaya. This place was to be the new Baltigo, but better. Many of those that invested in this place wanted it to not only be a safe place for Celestial Dragons to employee people, but a place many could have a new beginning.

Those that would ask enter would receive a pamphlet, raffle ticket, and a free Section I pass. The raffle ticket is what is given to everyone so that they can hope to win 100 million beli. But, if you simply wait for your number to be picked you won't get that beli. Each raffle ticket has a riddle on the back of it. This riddle, if figured out, will lead you to your prize. At each location is a group of Guards tasked with guarding the Beli so that when the participants of this hunt arrive they won't be robbed. In total there are ten different spots. Only one person is allowed to claim the beli along with the free Section II pass.

ooc: As stated in the News Coo only ten individuals can claim 100 million beli. All you must do is post below finding your beli. There won't be any npcing of this thread. A finally post will be made ending this thread after ten people post or on the 10th.  

Every girl has to let her hair down, after such a trying week at work, this invitation and the call of such a large amount of money was far too tempting not to take on. With the marine ship having brought her to the newly rebuilt Jaya island, unlike its predecessor, this one was within the grasp of the World Government, as her ship docked and she said her farewells, the beautiful orange haired female stepped out on to the worlds largest ship. The ship was enormous, it even looked larger than Thriller Bark, and she had been upon that island a few times. The ship was certainly an entertainment factor, the golden colours, the casinoeque vibe, the benefactors of such a place surely spared no expense and had been wealthy enough. From her position, Isabella could see the defenses in place. Guns mounted on the edges of the islands, of course this new casino resort would eventually become a target for pirates hungry for fame and fortune.

She lifted her pink gown releasing small harmless particles, too small for the naked eye to see, over and over again she would shake her dress gently, allowing the particles to disperse into a wider range. She patted down her dress, making it seem as though she had simply been adjusting herself. Her senses now rained supreme as she walked forth. She seemed to be one of the first to arrive, the atmosphere hungry, as she was handed her ticket and her pass, showing the part of the news coo that had stated for it to be brought. Her pass would be placed within her bra, she would check the number on her ticket. The number 002 stood out. Was she really the second person to gain such a ticket? Ah well, she was about to place this in her bra also when the wind shifted the ticket ever so slightly, her eyes catching some form of writing upon the back.


"What does this mean" Isabella muttered to herself, turning wondering if she should ask someone , yet everyone seemed more taken with the resort itself and the majority seemed not to have noticed the clue upon the ticket. "Its a scavenger hunt" she muttered to herself, smiling slyly. "The goody is hidden", that has to mean the money, thats the goody everyone wants. That lines easy. "When found you will sing" That could be anything, ugh what could...."Hahahaha i got it" she said. Fate surely was smiling upon her, for as she moved through new jaya, she simply happened to hear singing, amateur singing, a karaoke compitition or bar perhaps. She would make her way forward, entering the bar as quickly as possible, the door sliding closed behind her.

Checking her ticket she mumbled as the alrightish singer began to finish. "In a bowl on the table, beneath the orange thing" she muttered to herself, She could see no orange thing, nor no bowl on the table. The flecks of sand danced around the karaoke room but it seemed not to help her. The riddle told her that she would sing. So with a deep breath she headed towards the stage. "ME NEXT" she shouted. Getting to the stage she would select her song and the paino would begin. The next three mnutes for all those within the room where...


Hell

She screeched, she screamed, she squaked her little heart out. It was nearer the end, that she saw something above, a chandalier hiddin by the mishappen roof of the room, that could only be seen properly by being on stage. an ORANGE CRYSTAL CHANDALIER. Her eyes dove straight down and sitting directly underneath where two big burly men, one of them in the crook of his arms held a bowl. As her singing died down and she was booed from the stage, the slightly embarrassed Isabella would run up to the big burly men. "The bowl, thats the bowl right" she asked pulling out her raffle ticket which explained the clues. "right, your the first to reach us little lady, smart and pretty" "Just give her the key Bruce" the second man said, the first man bruce would reach in to the bowl and hand her a key, the duo stood up. "We will escort you to the safe in the manager office, thieves and all" the man who wasnt bruce said.

The trio headed there, Isabella's heart beating faster and faster. her purse surely not big enough to take all the money she would be hopefully getting. "please don't let this screw me over" she said as she placed the key in the managers safe, turned it and opened the door to reveal a large duffle bag. She looked to the two guards who nodded. Pulling the heavy bag out, she would open it. Revealing the large amount of beli that had been promised as well as a section 2 travel pass. Sand particles littered the room, thought where unseeable as well as the karaoke bar itself, so she had a safety plan in place in case shit went wrong, but right now. Oh my god she looked to the men and then to the money. "So whats the catch" she asked, bracing herself for what this money may cost her.

[Money PLz + Travel Pass]

Kimura made his way off the boat with his sidekick so to say right by his side, as if Kimura would even get a chance to leave Marineford and experience something like this without Sinbad was highly unlikely. Since almost did everything but beg for Kimura to bring him along the moment they were informed that the New Jaya was having a grand opening with the new one now being complete and set a sail. And the Ship island was truly something special by the looks at it, as it seemed to leave both Kimura both speechless as they made way onto the island after leaving the Marine Escort ship. Kimura being a Vice Admiral was easily going to be able to get a Vip pass of the ship, allowing for him to bypass some of the more tedious endeavors of the islands security, since being Vice Admiral in the marines did have its perks when it came to deal with World Government Islands . As well as the fact Kimura always had the perks of also being the adoptive son of the Famed Oda Kimura, which also came in handy from time to time, though he hated to admit it for he knew the mass amount of teasing he would get from Sinbad.

Sinbad and Kimura making their way to the actual entrance would be greeted by the security of the Island, as they proceeded to hand Kimura a Pamphlet and raffle ticket as all the others that entered, though instead of the Free Section I pass Kimura would manage to receive a ViP pass for his World Position. Upon gaining his credentials Kimura and Sinbad proceeded into Section one, Kimura walking high and tall with his Vice Admiral coat over his shoulders as he moved with his three dragons at his side. “Lil Mura whats with the strange ticket” Sinbad would speak out as he and the Vice Admiral continued deeper into section 1 of the boat.
“Honestly I don’t know I think it has something to do with the Beli they mentioned in the Coo.”

Flipping over the raffle ticket Kimura would come to notice that one side did host, a number while the other proceeded to hold a riddle of some sort   Go where you can find what’s black and white and red all over and with the key you shall hold us. A Strange riddle completely to Salem though he would hand the ticket over for Sinbad to glance at look at it, knowing that he would be more than likely able to figure It out as Kimura wasn’t the best with things of this matter. “It’s a riddle of some sort lil Mura, but im sure ive figured it out. Just follow me”. Sinbad would instantly upon finishing speaking to Kimura make his way towards the Coo stand that was mentioned in the broacher, Sinbad figuring that it had something to do with the stands and it would seem to be right.

“Its got to be over their near those newspapers Lil Mura whatever it is the ticket mentions”. Nodding to Sinbad Kimura made his way towards the stands and approached a rack of papers that seem to have something under it, moving the papers Kimura would seem to find a key with a note that said you found me now take me to the keeper. This last part being a little confusing to Kimura until several figures in black suits approached the Vice Admiral. “It seems you have won Vice Admiral, follow us And we will take you to your prize money” Looking a little surprised, Kimura signaled to Sinbad to come as he followed the suited man to his prize money. The suited man would seem to lead Kimura to a special room on the first level with a small chest in it prompting Kimura to the chest.

Looking at Sinbad, Kimura proceed to make his way to the chest opening it with key, upon opening it Kimura could instantly see that the chest was filled with the vast amount of Beli that was promised in the Coo.
“Well it seems we got ourselves a  prize here Sinbad” Kimura looking utterly lost as his mind tried to process the things he could now do with this Beli.
“So is that it now we just get this Beli, or is it more to it might I ask”.

[*] Claiming Beli
[*] Claiming VIP Pass (Vice Admiral World Position)

The Information:

Adri outwardly would scratch his head as he looked at it in confusion, inwardly however he was quickly breaking down. 'prize here does alight' meant the 100milion beli, there was no doubt, 'The key is sung on sight' meant that there was probably a key to open the thing containing the beli. Adri would just have to look for something that was black and white. So Adri would shrug his shoulders and start walking around once again. 

Adri would walk for quite awhile before entering into a karaoke. Noticing a seat in the front row was open between two burly men. Sitting there without seeming to have noticed them, he would order an orange juice. He would receive just that, except it came in a win glass and was sparkling. Reaching into his jacket pocket, he would pull out a pair of swirly straw glasses. Putting the glasses on and putting the end of the straw into his mask's mouth, and by extension his, and begin noisily slurping from his glass. 

Adri and the two burly men beside him would sit there like that for awhile, watching as various people came up and did some singing. To say he was not ready for when a orange haired women came on stage would be an understatement. When the women began her song, his wine glass full of sparkling orange juice shattered. Followed shortly their after by his swirling straw glasses. Adri would soon follow his destroyed straw glasses to the ground as he was on all fours, head bowed, as he cried about his glasses.

He looked up in rage at the women who was singing when he noticed that a piano was behind and to the right of the women, the person who was playing passed out, frothing at the mouth from the horible singing. At that moment all the pieces of the riddle snapped in his mind, and he quickly rushed to the piano. Making some very flamboyant motions before sitting down, Adri pushed the old player off the seat, and would sit and begin playing the piano terribly, with large motions, like putting his hands above his head before slamming down into the piano which he would do multiple times.. He continued his horrible playing until the women finished singing, both of them being booed at. Unlike the women who seemed embarrassed about the booing, Adri took it in stride. With his chest puffed out, and his head held snobbishly, he would do an extravagant bow at the waist toward the crowd. 

When Adri went to move off the stage, he knocked into the piano, moving it a little which showed him a trap door under his seat. Moving the chair out of the way, he would open the trap door, and start walking down the steps the lead downward. Upon reaching the bottom he would find a spacious room with two guards who were reading magazines, looking bored. One of them would look up at Adri upon him reaching the bottom step. "Yo Rick, check it, we finally got some." One of them would say. "Oh thank god, if I had to listen to anymore piano I was going to kill someone. Hey! Heres the key." The guard would say, tossing it to Adri. Adri would attempt to catch it but it would just end up being sent into the air, and from there Adri would juggle it for a few moments, almost dropping it multiple times. Finally catching it, Adri would look at the two burly men as they each walked towards him. Each one taking an arm, they would pick him up and take him out the way he came. "Right, lets get you to the place quickly so I won't kill my partner." "As if you could." the two would proceed to tell insults to each other as they walked Adri, who would allow them to carry him.

They would walk like that for awhile, Adri being carried in between the two men before they finally reached their destination. The two men would stand on the two sides of the door, with a big fancy lock. Adri put the key into the lock, opening it up to reveal a duffel bag inside. Taking the duffel bag and opening reveal the 100 million Beli as he was promised. Putting the bag over his shoulder, he would walk out, and head to enjoy the island in his ridiculous Yellow with white pokadot suit.

[Claiming Beli and Pass]

I'm rich rich rich rich rich" Isabella hummed as she bounded forward. She had her money within its duffle bags and was indeed a rather cheerful, The beautifully gowned woman would be heading through new Jaya and so happened to stumble upon the sound of a frantic male whom was shouting down a den den mushi as if his life depended on it. "But...but Morio sir, Hiroko Young is demanding the beli right now, he's threatening me and my family, but sir, if i don't give him it sir, no sir, I work for you sir. Yes sir. No no, I'll do what is needed. Thank you, no sir good bye" and the Den den mushi was hung up. The pale looking white guy shook his head, sweat littered his body. So Morio and Young where some how involved in something, this is all she would take away, apparently Young was also on New Jaya and expecting the money without following the rules set by another dragon. This would probably not go down well within the world of the Celestials now that this had been reported. The Celestial dragons, one of the main enemies of the Revolution, those whom felt they where entitled to all while doing nothing for it. Apparently they had threatened this poor workers family. A burning fire of annoyance built up within Isabella, these people, these disgusting cunts who where nothing more than spoiled brats needed to be put down.

Taking a deep deep breath the orange haired vixen would exhale, she could do nothing about it right now, her cover was desperately needed for the revolutionaries, for when the time comes, the revs will hold the prison of Impel Down, they will have control of the entire area, the marines forces will perish from within and soon the dawn of the revs light shall shine forth. "Just grit your teeth and walk on, its nothing to do with you" Sand fell from her, as she walked, constantly covering the area, particles too small for the naked eye to be able to see, her sensory ability amplified by these small particles. Expanding outward in an invisible blanket. As she continued walking she would exit the barrier and of course be greeted by the Celestial Dragon and his entourage. Would she strike? would she wipe them all out within a single move. She surely had the capability?

Instead, she bowed her head as to not attract attention, her small sand particles flowing to grant her a view of the area as per usual. The large walk way was big enough for the entourage and for many a civilian to walk by without bumping in to each other with a selection of the walk way tarred off by red ropes and a large red carpet that seemed solely for the Celestial Dragon. With gritted teeth she walked towards the Escort ship reserved for her. Her teeth biting hard into her lip, causing it to bleed slightly. Being a spy was difficult, being unable to openly throw a big fuck you into the face of the celestial dragon was surely difficult, but alas, she had to keep her cover. She had to keep her position for the sake of her faction. Climbing on board her ship she would look to the captain. "Ya okay miss?" he asked motioning to her lip. "Yeah, I'm ok Captain, lets just get out of here, theres a bad smell in the air" she said as she turned to look at the large pier of New Jaya, the dragon now well out of sight. She wondered if that poor man had gotten his money, or if he now lay somewhere with a bullet in his head. The ship pulled away, as they headed back for home. Back to the infamous prison.

[travel to Impel]

Kimura could only be at complete disbelief as he was giving the mass amount of Beli, and it was seeming to be completely stingless so to say, which was the truly surprising part to the young Vice Admiral as he never figured that it be a day in life his life where he was able to make this much Beli just for simply visiting a place as he was so doing. Though he was complexly shocked at the wonderful appeal of the marvelous island that was New Jaya, the young Vice Admiral just could not find it in himself to take part in any of the games that the island or well ship had to offer, feeling that it was probably best for him and his Navigator Sinbad to make their ways back to the base of MarineFord, Kimura knowing that Oda would probably soon enough be looking for him. And the conversation of where he went and why was not one that Kimura was trying to have at the moment he got back from his little trip so to say. As he was more than sure that if his adoptive father figured that he was gone, many questions would be thrown his way. Something that the young Vice Admiral hoped to completely avoid entirely.

“Sinbad grab the bags of Beli, I think its time we make are way back to the base, Oda should be looking for us soon enough.” Sinbad instantly grabbing the bags of Beli after being instructed by his superior officer lil Mura made his way towards the Vice Admiral waiter for his further instruction. As he two figured that it was probably best that the both of them got out of here now and got as far away from New Jaya with the claimed Beli as soon as possible, Sinbad figuring that it was probably best for the safety of he and the Vice Admiral if the returned to base for the time being. With the young Navigator knowing that walking around on a island ship such as this one with such a large amount of Beli was not a good idea and would more or less and he and young Kimura targets even with their Marine Status, Sinbad knew that Beli could make many do things that they would normally not do, and that being something he was currently not ready to mentally deal with now on jaya.

With Sinbad behind Kimura made his way towards the nearest exit of the boat, hopping that he would not have to walk far and would easily be able to get to the Marine Escort ship that was making its way to come and pick up the young Vice Admiral and his subordinate, both of who were ready to get back to their home base.  Waiting for the escort ship to arrive the two marines could only sit back and watch each other’s backs as they waited for their ride home. Both knowing that it was still many more to learn of the island of New Jaya but that would be something the two did at a later date. As for now securing the money and making sure they got it back home safe was their top priority, with young Kimura already having the plans of what he was to spend the money on for he and his partner Sinbad. Upon the boat arriving both the two would make way on board the Marine vessel with the bags of Beli in hand the young Vice Admiral was ready to set sail back home.

[Travel to Marineford] 

"So how many people figure it out? The time limit is almost up."

"Three."

"Wow, that isn't a lot. Did anything cool happen? I bet those three got more than just that one-hundred mil."

"No, two of the three are preparing to leave with the beli. Thier ships are being loaded now. Oh, and The Celestial Dragon Hiroko arrived, but didn't participate in the game. He just demanding the payment. He threatened the employee and his family over it. And what do you mean more? "

Morio would cup his hands around his mouth, frustration quickly swelling into a vein on his head. He wasn't a fan of other Celestial Dragons, like his Father. Main reason he made it so that he'd be the only Celestial Dragon able to get their hands on a buster call. He also wasn't a fan of people just showing up and leaving so soon, it was rude. He gave them beli so they could spend it at the casinos, but he should've seen this coming. But, that was fine. They came for what they wanted and that was okay.

"Who are they?"

"We didn't ask any names Sir, but one was a Vice Admiral."

"Eww, remind me to change it so that only Admirals can come into the Golden Tower. Especially after this stunt. You know what....bump it all up. I want to make this place a exclusive party in the future."

"As you wish. But, what about Mr. Young."

"He wants his beli right? And it is about to be midnight? Let us give him his beli. Actully, I will handle it. Go grab me something to drink." Morio would say as he would walk over to the window of his room, it being within the golden tower and overseeing the a good portion of the Island. But, beside that was his own set of surveillance cameras that gave him a view over the entire Island. This room was special as it also held a Den Den Mushi speaker system so that he could broadcast his voice over the entire Island. he had a couple Den Den mushi lined up within this room, for different uses. The one he would pick up right away was to make calls to staff on the Island. And he would do so to the even staff to add in something for tonight, well for in a couple minutes. After making that call he would pick up another Den Den Mushi, the one to the speak system. He would then wait. At this time the ships that the those that choose to leave, minus the Celestial Dragon, would be fully loaded up. And the clock would strike midnight. And the entire city would go dark, except the Golden Tower.

"Be calm and stop everything! I want to tell you all, you are all equal here! No matter the affiliation, religion, or anything else. Here on New Jaya, on Gran Tesoro, you are under the direct protection of Acheron Morio. Me. And I will be your light in this dark world for you adn your Family!" With his last sentence a single firework would be launched into the sky, from the Golden Tower. And once it would explode high in the sky all the lights would come back on, and ships would be allowed to leave the Island. Fireworks would continued to be fired up into the sky.


"here is your drink."

"Thank you." Morio would say as he would stop speaking into the Den Den Mushi, it no longer on.

"May I ask a question?"

"Sure."

"Why did you need to shut off all the lights?"

"For dramatic effect."

"Well, that seemed a bit much."

"Then I guess you will think the next thing is also a bit much." Morio would comment as the fireworks would stop. As something would be fired into the sky. And then it seemed to rain, paper, beli from the skies. This was a last minute edition on the part of Morio. Those that didn't find the other scattered sum of beli would get this chance now. As all of the beli that was promised, aside from the three that followed the only requirement, would rain down.

The sound system erupted halting Isabella from getting to her ship, The sound of Morio erupted forth, with his words, everything but the shining clock tower was plunged into darkness. Was this it? The best chance to assassinate Hiroko Young while light hid all from view? She made the decision, she was going to go for it, though as Morios speech ended with her decision to do so, the fire work lit up the sky, illuminating the area once more. "Fuck" she said to herself, she had yet to take a step forward and had not made it to her ship yet, due to the immense size of New Jaya it took some time to get to the docking areas. "Gotta admit, these dragons know how to throw a party" Isabella uttered to herself. She loved fireworks, they where pretty enough to cause everything to wash away. As she stared at the mixing of colours, she even smiled, wiping the blood from her lips as she did so. The fireworks died down and she was thus prepared to leave once more. Then

BAM

Another sound erupted from all over the island, "OH MY GOD" she shouted as she saw the beli even in the darkness. Duffle bag over her shoulder she ran, using her free hand to lift up her dress, when she felt she was in a good enough position for the money to flow, she would not wait for the money to come to her. Allowing her sand to cover a 60 meter sensory range cuz money turned people into savages, she along with the hundreds of others on new jaya began collecting. Though unlike the others, Isabella had the advantage as her arms shifted into sand, elongating their reach as she blasted her arms into the air, collecting wads and wads of cash, periodically she would bring her hands back and stuff her money in to the duffle bag and continue on and on until the money rain would halt. Unsure on how much additional beli she gained, she noticed that the marine escort crew where also out catching money, why would they not. Free money come on.

"Get a good haul captain?" she asked with a friendly smile. "You betcha lassie, what aout you?" he asked with a cheeky grin. "I think so, i'll have to count it out when we get to the ship" she said laughing, with the money rain ending, the crew of the escort would head back along with Isabella, picking up random bits of beli that they came along, Isabella armed with her money bag and wits, soon the escort service now allowed to leave would be sailing the seas.
