[Text] I fought the law and the law...

[doesntdiscriminate]

SABO HART shared a photo. 08/05 near VIEA VILLAGE

Has anyone else found out that their other selves used to be a criminal? Because I got this a while back and apparently I was a very wanted man. The smaller text, in case it's difficult to read, says "The World Government is offering a reward for information leading directly to the capture of this individual. If you have any such information please contact Naval authorities." I don't recognize the currency symbol, but since it mentions a World Government I don't know if there's even a point to trying to match it to any currency in this reality. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Does it ring a bell to anyone? I have no clear memories of what 'other me' might have done to earn this bounty, and even less of an idea of why the Navy is the authority involved instead of something like the police. (The latter might be bothering me more than it should due to my dad being in the Marines, which is part of the Navy, so it hits kinda close to home.) And I'm really not looking forward to remembering how he got that scar, because it looks painful. ఠ_ఠ Also have anyone here heard about something called "Devil Fruits"? Or of anything you can eat to gain superpowers, I guess?

Past me was a hacker, but I haven't gotten a wanted poster yet.

Sanji has a wanted poster like that. Reporting to the Navy and all.

[doesntdiscriminate]

I think I'm equally curious and terrified to find out what the hell I was.
Does it bother you?

He does!? Could you help me get in touch with him?

[belowaverage]

Not really? I've got worse memories to be bothered by.

Here's his inbox.

[doesntdiscriminate]

Memories of things he's done, or of other things?
If you don't mind me asking.

Thank you! (-ω-)ゞ

[belowaverage]

More like 'things that have been done to him'.

Good luck finding your crew.

[promisedyou]

That is definitely a pretty strange currency symbol.

[That is all she has to contribute to this conversation.]

[doesntdiscriminate]

I actually did some checking and apparently it looks kind of like the one for the Thai baht, just a bit more swirly.
Don't think that's what it is though. (⊙_☉)

[promisedyou]

That's interesting.

If it's not that, though, maybe it's a currency specifically from the world your past life or whatever was in?

[doesntdiscriminate]

Looks like you're right. Apparently they're called Beli/Beri, or something like that.
Which I guess explains the B.

Not sure if it's funny/interesting or not that the currency symbols are so similar in concept despite being from two, probably vastly, different worlds. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[promisedyou]

Huh.

I mean, I guess it's a little interesting?

[flametheif40]

I will have to get back to you on that one.

Other me was in something called the "Fog Troop"

No idea if they were criminal or not.

The currency sort of looks like bit coin

But either way HOLY! over 600 mil! And no memory as to why?!

[doesntdiscriminate]

Sounds like it could be a military thing?

Do you have any reason to believe they might be criminals?

Huh, I didn't think of that one.
I still have a feeling that whatever it is it belongs in another reality than this one.

Since I don't really know anything about the currency it might not be as much as it sounds, but chances are it'll still add up to a pretty decent amount.
No concrete ones, not yet anyway. But I do know that he's capable of violence.

[flametheif40]

I only have one memory in where other me thought about them before he fought against some other guy...that I assume was against them?

No idea, just recently got said memory. Soo, I will have to get back to you on that when I learn more.

Well, I assume 600 million of just about anything would be worth something.Even if it's just paper, 600 million sheets of paper would be worth something to someone.

[doesntdiscriminate]

Pretty fair assumption to make, I think.
Was the memory detailed enough for you to tell how he was thinking about them?
If that question makes any sense.

Please do. I'd be really interested in hearing about it.

Sure, but there's a big difference between someone being willing to pay $600 million for your capture/death and someone being willing to pay $15000.
Or, as it happens, $6 million. I think.

[flametheif40]

I think I get it, but there wasn't much, it was me thinking "I need to protect the Fog troop"(essentially) before fighting a dude that, was like suicide to take on, fire all over the place, fight and I'm down.

Unfortunately that's basically the entire memory, and that's all I know about the Fog Troop. I would love to talk more about it when I actually know more.

I don't know if it's related, but I think I might have fought in a palace courtyard too, but I have no idea if I was defending it, or attacking it.

Well yeah, you have a bounty in the FREAKING MILLIONS! I can't imagine a currency where having a MILLION of something is poor there.

[frostythehitman]

sounds like someone just wants to brag

[doesntdiscriminate]

If that's what you really think then I doubt I'll be able to change your mind. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Not sure if being a violent criminal is much to brag about though.

[frostythehitman]

why post the wanted poster if it wasn't to brag, then

[doesntdiscriminate]

Because someone might recognize it? Or some of the stuff in it.
Isn't that how things generally work around here?

[frostythehitman]

what if the person who recognizes it is supposed to arrest you
if you're really such a high profile criminal then you're basically just painting a giant target on yourself

[doesntdiscriminate]

I hadn't actually thought about that.
At least I'd know what it was I did.
And it's not like I have actually done anything wrong.
Whatever he's done is not actually on me and they'd have no right to go after me for it.
And if they did. I'd deal with it.

[frostythehitman]

you sure have a lot of faith that things will work out okay, don't you

do you really not remember what you're so wanted for

[commandertoolbelt]

pretty sure i was an arsonist

were you some kind of fantasy pirate
like a pirate with magic if we're talking superpowers here
that'd make the navy mad right

[doesntdiscriminate]

...What kind of arsonist?

I suppose it would.
It would fit into my theory that the world other!me is from has a lot of water.
I don't know yet if other!me actually ate a devil fruit. It has the drawback of making you unable to swim which sounds like a pretty significant downside if you're going to live and fight on the sea. (⊙_☉)
Then again, I really like swimming but even so the thought of maybe getting some kind of superpower out of this is a pretty tempting one.

[hauhra]

If the Navy was involved, then it's obvious that whatever you did must have had something to do with the sea, right? And if there's a World Government, then it's entirely possible that you violated some kind of international waters law.

Exactly what is hard to say, though. I'm not terribly familiar with the sea myself.

As for me, I was the King of Thieves back in my day, except I had an army and an entire royal court after me, not the Navy. I don't know if I was very famous outside of Egypt, but I didn't let that stop me from claiming the title anyway. Besides, I can't say it wasn't well-deserved if my memories alone are anything to go by.

[doesntdiscriminate]

Not sure if it's obvious but yeah chances are it's sea related.
It just seems kind of different from how things work here. But considering this place has fruits that grant superpowers which I'm pretty sure proves it's not, in fact, here I should probably just try to let that go.
It's just proving to be somewhat difficult.

I'm getting the feeling we're not talking about the 'steal from the rich to give to the poor' variety here?
This is possibly going to sound stupid but; how do you feel about that?

[floret]

Hanatarou Nito Oh, for sure! I don't think he had a cool wanted poster like that, but my past self committed high treason.

Hanatarou Nito I don't know anything about the currency, the World Government, scars, or Devil Fruits, but... maybe your previous self used to be in the Navy, too, and that's why it's the Navy after him? Like a court martial.

[doesntdiscriminate]

As in betraying his country?
Do you remember why, if you don't mind me asking?

Could be. Absolutely.
If I was one of them and did something bad enough and/or betrayed them they'd definitely want to deal with me themselves.
And probably with extreme prejudice.
Which doesn't paint me in a very good picture unfortunately.

[floret]

Umm I don't have a lot of specific memories about his reasons, but he got taken hostage by hostile invaders at one point, and then I guess he got Stockholm syndrome or whatever? It seems like he was sort of downtrodden in general, so maybe he was seething with resentment all along. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Well, maybe not. But maybe the navy's leadership was secretly bad guys, so whatever you did was actually a good thing. Or you might've been framed!

[devilsadvocato]

Any idea what the currency conversion rate is on that poster to USD? lol
Did Devil Fruits give real superpowers or was that just a health nut's way of describing them as a super food high in vitamins and nutrients?

[doesntdiscriminate]

Not exactly, but I have actually remembered a bit about the currency and from that I'd guess it's around 100 to 1 USD. So the bounty would be about $6 million.

No, eating one would give you an actual superpower, with the drawback of being unable to swim.
Besides, wouldn't they be called heavenly, or something like that, if they're supposed to be good and healthy for you?

[concasse]

the symbol is for a beli

beri

some shit like that

and devil fruits grant a shithead power but in return you sink in the water

[doesntdiscriminate]

That fits perfectly with what little I've remembered about them. ⸜(ؔᶿധؔᶿ)⸝
So we/our other selves might come from the same place then, huh?

Someone said you have a wanted poster too, that looks just like the one I got, is that right?

[concasse]

yea seems like it

u a pirate?

[heiroglyphs]

Six hundred million. You must have pissed someone off.

[doesntdiscriminate]

I think it's "only" 6 million in USD, but yeah I really must have. And apparently that someone is a wold government. So I'm kind of worried about it. (๑•﹏•)

[heiroglyphs]

Six million is still a lot to put on one man's head.
So does that make you a terrorist or something?
