The swirl of emotions going through Bojack's mind at the moment could not be easily described.He had heard through the grapevine that an important man would be visiting the island of Momoiro on this day. Thyme Spriggs was the man's name, and he supposedly had connections to the Caprice pirates, who were led by Gilded Dragon Caprice, who happened to be one of the few people Bojack had any sort of respect and admiration for. Tales of Caprices successes in a variety of criminal activities had reached Bojack's ears and led to him having a desire to meet with Caprice and potentially ally with him. So, with Johanna at his side, Bojack strode towards the part of the O'Kara Cara Cape where Thyme was said to be. The two looked around for where Thyme could be, having nothing more than a frantic description given to them by a fearful Okama to go off of.

"Run away!" the Okama screamed, running frantically away only to be halted in his tracks by a death stare from Bojack. Being as close to face to face with Bojack as he was able to get with his meager 5 foot tall stature he began to rattle off a frantic explanation without even a word from either Bojack or Johanna. "In the Cape. They say the man there is a member of the Caprice pirates, they say he's wearing a purple suit and is very tall. I don't care what you do to me I'm getting away from here." And with that the man ran away with tears streaming down his face from fear of Bojack's potential and inevitably violent response. It was true, on a typical day Bojack would certainly attack the man for claiming he didn't care what Bojack did to him. But now Bojack had his mission in mind, he had to go to the O'Kara Cara Cape and meet Thyme. This could be his chance to get in with Caprice.

Now Bojack walked through the Cape, keeping his eye out for any man in a purple suit. "Well the good news is, on this island a man wearing a suit would certainly stand out." For a second Bojack took in Johanna's statement, before smiling down at her before saying with a slight chuckle,"I guess you're right Johanna. Even I don't wear suits and I'm probably the most masculine person on this island." Johanna wouldn't be unable to disagree as she'd think to herself,'Yeah, you definitely are.' Though she'd never say that aloud for fear of how Bojack might react. The moment would be ruined anyway when after a moment of thought Bojack continued by saying,"At least the most masculine male. Some of these chicks out her got HUGE cocks." Johanna would sweatdrop at Bojack's idiocy, though she couldn't disagree. Some of the 'ladies' of Momoiro were packing enough heat to thaw out Drum Island.

While their conversation was idiotic, the pair didn't allow it to distract them from their search for Thyme, and before long they'd see the purple suited man standing still in an area that was filled with cafes and bars. Instantly an idea would pop into Bojack's head to get in with Thymes. Speed walking to where Thyme stood, Bojack would stop directly behind Thyme before opening his big mouth and beginning to ramble,"Hey! I'm assuming you're Thyme of the Caprice pirates?" Bojack would only leave Thyme with a brief moment to answer him before continuing,"Well I'm Bojack and it looks like you're trying to figure out what to eat. My assistant here has been on this island for a while and I believe she probably knows the best place in this area to get some food or something to drink." While Bojack typically wouldn't act in such a seemingly nervous way, his desire for power made this interaction vitally important to his goals and thus important enough to make him a bit out of character.

After his storm of words Bojack would look down at Johanna who would have no choice but to facepalm, both from Bojack's odd behavior and his calling her his assistant. "Well actually, I do know a good place around here. That place over there has probably the best tea in the island, and the food they serve with it is top tier as well." She'd say while pointing to a tiny little cafe that was actually right next to where they all stood. "Wonderful, come on Mr.Thyme. This meal can be on me." Bojack was planning to use this interaction as his chance to get Thyme to like and accept him, in order to get him to work with him.

The forwardness of the man who introduced himself as Bojack came as a bit of a shock to Thyme. Usually, in his experience at least, more respectable and powerful pirates conducted themselves in a more calm and professional manner. Bojack's actions were the exact opposite, and Thyme immediately pegged him as a fool. Despite the label he had given Bojack, Thyme was almost powerless to resist the offer of free food and decided that even if he had no intention of interacting with Bojack afterwards, he could still at least take him up on his offer and feed himself from the other man's wallet. "Fine then," he finally spoke with a tone positively dripping with derision,"I'll come with you to your cafe."

Without another word, Thyme strode into the cafe that Johanna had pointed out, completely ignoring the shout of Yo behind him. If he wasn't being called out to by name then it was none of his business and he wouldn't waste his time being distracted by it. Thyme stood at the entrance waiting for Bojack and Johanna, but after a period of time that was little more than a brief moment he went and found himself a seat whether the other two people followed immediately or not. The well dressed pirate found himself a place to sit that had more than enough room for the party of three, and asked one of the employees for a cup of tea as well as a light wrap. His eyebrow cocked as he waited for his food, as if he was surprised by whatever had happened in front of him.

After offering to pay for Thyme's meal, Bojack waited eagerly for his response. He had allowed himself to get out of character due to his excitement, but he couldn't help himself. This was his shot at the big time, and he was sure that whatever Thyme's reason for being on Momoiro was; it was going to be something Bojack just had to be a part of. Finally Thyme spoke, and while Bojack tried his best not to let it bother him, the rude and mocking tone he used nearly put Bojack at the limits of what he was willing to tolerate. He kept his smile though, clapping his hands together gleefully and said,"Perfect, let's go right in then." Bojack then followed directly behind Thyme for a second, but he allowed the suit wearing man to get ahead of him when he heard a shout of Yo from someone behind him.

Turning, Bojack instantly recognized Kahseh from their previous interaction which had been cut short when Bojack had learned of Thyme's presence on the island. "Johanna, you go in with Thyme and wait for me. I'm gonna see what's up with my friend here." The former idol only nodded, following Thyme into the cafe and sitting next to him. By the time Kahseh caught up to Bojack, Johanna was already inside leaving the two men alone with the large bird. "So, what are you doing over here now, finally deciding to take me up on my offer to join my crew?"

"So Mr.Thyme, what brings you here to the lovely island of Momoiro?" Bojack had told her only to wait for him to come in, but if she could also find out Thyme's intentions before Bojack got involved she could potentially avoid lots of headache. Moving herself closer to Thyme, Johanna maintained eye contact almost unblinkingly. She had no desire to be lied to, and wanted to get the truth out of the Caprice pirate however she needed to.

With Johanna beginning to make an effort to pry from Thyme information on why he was on Momoiro; the man visibly seemed to be mostly amused. There was no chance that he would just give up his important information because some girl batted her eyes at him; usually. Thyme considered for a moment the importance and difficulty of his mission, and how it would be much fun it would be if instead of doing this difficult mission himself he turned it into more of a game. These pirates seemed like the sort of people who would be willing to do whatever it took to please him, so he decided that instead of just doing his mission solo he'd bring them along and see how they did. He could surely supervise and fix any mistakes that were made so there was almost no harm in getting these pirates to do it for him. "Well actually miss, I have a bit of a proposition for you. I was sent here to carry out a mission of great importance, and I believe we can help each other. How about we go outside and meet back with your captain to discuss it further." Thyme then stood up to his full height and dusted himself off, walking out of the cafe with a smile on his face, his tea completely forgotten.

Once out of the cafe Thyme noticed the two new additions to the group; Kahseh and the large bird that he had rode in on. 'Good, the more players in my game the better.' Thyme thought with his smile ever widening. Completely disregarding the potential rudeness that would come with interrupting a conversation, Thyme spoke to Bojack and Kahseh without caring if they were talking about something important,"Ok! So Bojack, I've decided to involve you in the mission that Caprice sent me here to do." He then took a moment to let his words sink into the minds of his audience.

"What Caprice wants me to do is oversee the destruction of this islands seatrain, and he told me I could pick whoever I want to help me, so I'm choosing you all. So if there are no objections I can explain the plan to you." There was a short pause again to allow the men to respond before he continued,"So I originally didn't know that the other man and his bird would be here, but I always say the more the merrier. So, Bojack and his lady will be with me as we directly as we attack the Seatrain that will be leaving soon to head for marineford. It will not be easy as it will surely be heavily guarded but I'll make sure it goes smoothly."

"While Bojack and I deal with the actual seatrain,the man with the giant bird should handle the seatrain station itself. The security there is less severe, but for some reason the marines have sent with the sea train a group of marines who were seen escorting an unknown man to the island. I personally am not sure what the meaning of that escort is but I need you to deal with that threat while we destroy the train."

Thyme then pushed his glasses up on his face as he asked a single question,"So will you help me?" Without even waiting for an answer Thyme walked away towards the seatrain and it's station.

Inside

Johanna watched Thyme smile after her words, and took it as a reaction to her attractiveness instead of her hilarity. This misconception only seemed more likely when he told her he had a proposition, and the small part of her that believed his proposition was less than professional went silent the second he invited her outside to where Bojack was. Her smile melted off her face but she only sighed gently at being unable to charm once again before following Thyme outside. "Maybe I'm just losing my touch."

Outside

Outside, Bojack pondered Kahseh's words with a smile on his face. This man was incredibly amusing with his talk of loyalty, though Bojack knew that it wouldn't be beneficial to say that out loud. Loyalty seemed to be very important to Kahseh, so Bojack thought about his words without saying anything in response. Bojack only began to form his response when the subject was changed, so he was filled with relief when Kahseh asked to talk about Thyme instead. "He is a member of the Caprice pirates, so basically he's a really big deal.Working with him could be a big boost for anyone looking to get into piracy, so I sent my slave to try and get information out of him about what he's doing so I can potentially work with him on it."

After his words, there was a short silence which would allow Kahseh time to respond before Thyme and Johanna stepped out from the cafe. Bojack raised an eyebrow since the two seemed to have not eaten , and his eyes widened a bit at the bit of a blush Johanna had on her face as she stepped away from Thyme to once again stand by Bojack's side. Bojack didn't even get to open his mouth to talk before Thyme's declaration about allowing him to join his mission shocked him to his core. 'Well that was easy, I guess Johanna must've really worked her magic in there.' He thought, not speaking out loud in case Thyme had more to say. Bojack would not be disappointed by the mission and its goal. Destroying a sea train was a big deal, and would surely do a great job pissing off the government. Bojack let him finish, his smile growing larger and more maniacal with each word; he did internally wince at being supervised by Thyme, he didn't want to be babysat but he guessed it was better than nothing.

Once Thyme presented Kahseh with a mission Bojack had no choice but to look over at the man who he could barely consider an acquaintance, hoping that his chance wasn't blown away due to rejection. Once Thyme was done and asked the question that should've had the most obvious answer ever, Bojack decided it would be better to not say a word, lest he reveal how giddy he was. Instead he merely nodded his head and followed Thyme was he walked away, Johanna at his side as usual.
