The high end sunshine was an abundant problem in this terrain in Alabasta. The natives were use to it and wore light garments to compliment the desert style scenery. Those who were foreign and didn't like the sunshine, didn't particularly like the heat.

Sire Puffer didn't mind the heat since the majority of his life was spent on Fishman island and its prison. Riding inside a carriage horse with the red curtains covering both sides of carriage and the rider being able to be seen through a small rectangular opening that was from the carriage. The horse rider was a fairly old man that knew the ins and out of the city and appeared to have been doing this his whole life.

Sire Puffer was a muscular fellow that almost took half of the seat and being the only passenger within the carriage, he was glad he had room space. Puffer was within this carriage for about an hour, traveling from minor cities to major in order to find these traitors. After hearing rumors and such of certain names owning the casinos in Alabasta, he knew he had to go there. The casino that he was going to was known as the lucky dice seven and the owner of it was Gambles.

Sire Puffer kept to himself and stood silent during the majority of the trip, until the rider decided to start small conversations with him in order to pass the time.

"Where are you headed friend?" the rider looking over his shoulder casually and with a smile.

Puffer looked his direction and responded back with both his arms folded across his chest.

"Going to go visit a friend." Puffer leaving a smirk on his face.

"My advice for all tourist when they come here. to not go to the casinos... its a fixed system in order for you to lose all the time." The old man gave him a stern look before going back to positive thoughts.

"Thanks for the advice old timer..." He gave the rider a grin before peaking through the red curtain from his left side.

Seeing the entrance to the city as they entered the city of Alabasta and the carriage rider stopping at a designated station. Puffer exiting the carriage and handing the rider his fare before departing ways. Puffer's appearance was that of a blue long shirt and red cargo pants, if he was going to conceal himself from these guys, he had to dress in a way where he would be noticed by them. Puffer headed to a nearby store where he picked up a cowboy style hat that was one size over his head length and a suit.

After looking through his wallet, he only had a couple of hundreds to his name before he would go broke. He didn't care for his financial problems because he had bigger problems in which he needed to get rid of. The only way he saw in looking to get answers was a local tavern establishment and heading to the one closes to him, he sat at the counter.

The bartender did his usual thing with wiping down the counter for Puffer and asking him on what he wanted to drink.

"Whisky will be fine."

The bartender nodded and did his quick work before handing him the glass of whisky.

"Haven't seen you around this place, are you new to this city?"

Puffer looked at him and took a sip before responding.

"Yea, i'm actually new to this city and wanted to go to the casinos around here. I was wondering if you knew about the casino known as the lucky dice seven."

The bartender raised an eyebrow in a bit of shock and then shrugged it off.

"Many tourist ask for the more popular casino like Rainbow Base. But for that particular casino, its going to be about ten blocks from here going North."

Puffer finished his drink and handed the man a few dollar tip before departing.

"Thank you sir."

Puffer headed straight to the casino and finally reaching the double glass doors of the establishment, he opened them and casually entered the place like a local. Looking around, he couldn't see any familiar faces. When he had given up all hope after searching the place discreetly and not giving attention to him or any suspicion. A microphone could be heard from the main lobby of the casino establishment.

Everyone's head turned to the main stage that was located at the end of the lobby where a person wearing a suit and tie attire walked on the stage and began to speak onto the microphone. It was Jackal, the man who stole Puffer's money and energy steroids and also the son of Simon, his former mentor.

"Greetings ladies and gentlemen, tonight we are having a special night, anyone who wants to participate in tonights "poker" tournament, come see the receptionist. You can win big prizes and money."

This was Puffer's chance and after waiting the long line and receiving his number and ticket, he entered the backroom of the casino and nine people were in the room with him. The nine were already taking off their shirts and other useless attires and Puffer looking to one of them next to him.

"What exactly is going on here?"

The man looked at him somewhat confused and responded back.

"You don't know? This isn't really a poker tournament, its a fighting tournament..."

Puffer's eyes had widen in shock as he looked to the floor. He wanted to be discreet, he didn't want to be founded out... but it was already too late... the bright lights of the room started to open up and around them were melee weapons of all type and the room itself appeared to be a gladiator style with a large cage that was the walls and the ceiling. Outside those cages were Jackal and a few grunts with him that carried mac - 10s.

Jackal looked to the ten fighters in the cage and responded to them with a serious voice.

"BEGIN!"


Puffer's current attire but with an oversize cowboy hat on

The tournament had begun and bodies were already dropping and Puffer was already in the action keeping his anger in check and at the same time exploding in a violent rage due to wanting to find these guys. The body count was decreasing faster with Puffer intervening the other fights and slashing their faces with his hook and body slamming the others to the ground. Jackal took an interest at this suited man who seemed to want to win badly. The fight was quick as it had begun. A few minutes and Puffer was the only one standing in the ring. Jackal being impressed, he spoke with his dial snail on his shoulder which echoed his voice to become louder like a microphone.

"Congratulations, what is your name fighter? and take off that hat so I can see the champion."

His heart was racing and being twenty years without seeing one another, he looked like a completely different person and with the scars added along his body, he had hoped that Jackal wouldn't be able to notice.

"My name is Fish."

Taking off his hat, Jackal looked at him and keeping one hand to his chin.

"You look familiar friend, where have I seen you before?"

Puffer folding his arms and Jackal took notice of the right hook hand.

"I have been around the world. I am a professional fighter."

Jackal rubbing his chin and placing his arm back down to his side.

"Ah I see, well go to the receptionist and claim your prize."

Puffer walking out and heading to the receptionist for his prize. After receiving the money, he casually waited in the main lobby and spotted Jackal exiting from the room that he was just in with his guards and walking to another section of the room entering a door with one guard standing at the door that Jackal had just entered. Puffer needed to find a way to enter the room that Jackal was in and he needed to find a way to distract the guard.

Jackal headed outside the casino and looked at a homeless man who was sitting up against a wall. Approaching him, he flashed a wad of cash at him.

"I will happily give you this, in exchange you run into that casino and distract an employee for me."

The man raised an eyebrow and Jackal handing him five hundred in cash. The man smiled and agreed. Jackal entering the establishment and fairly closed to the man who was guarding the door. The homeless man entering the establishment and headed to where the guard was. He whipped out his john and started to perform the deed of urination. The guard headed straight to him in an angered expression and telling him not to do that.

Puffer heading to the door and opening it and closing it quietly as he now was in a long and narrow hallway. Looking to the only door ahead, he opened it and saw Jackal sitting in a lounge chair sipping a cup of wine by himself. He looked to the man who had entered and being surprised that it was the man that had won the tournament.

"What are you doing here? Who let you in here?"

Puffer approached him much closer and Jackal remembering who he was as he casual whispered to himself.

"Puffer is that you?"

Grabbing Jackal by the throat and the hook close to Jackal's eye, Puffer looked at him with a sinister expression.

"Yes it's me! You, along with your father ruined my life!"

Jackal struggling to break the grip as he has enough air to speak.

"It wasn't even our idea, it was Gambles!"

Puffer throwing the man against his office desk and breaking it to pieces.

"TELL ME WHY I SHOULDN'T KILL YOU RIGHT NOW! WHERE IS SIMON AND GAMBLES!"

Jackal slowly rising to his feet and grabbing an energy steroid from his pocket.

"I'm not going to tell you anything..."

In a fit of rage, Puffer rushed over to where Jackal was and attempted to grab him by the throat. Jackal taking the energy steroid pill, expanding his chest and arms, ripping his suit unintentionally. Jackal moving from the grab and grabbing the back of Puffer's head and running with him against the wall. Then placing his left arm to his back and slightly upward, Puffer was now pinned to the wall and Jackal chuckling.

"You were a fool to come here and think you can exact your revenge on us."

Jackal breaking Puffer's left arm and turning him around and tossing him out of the window of the business. Puffer falling to a back alley, Jackal followed right behind him. Before Puffer could rise to his feet properly, Jackal sending a straight roundhouse kick to Puffer's stomach and sending him to the middle of the street. Jackal walked over to the street to meet Puffer, with two policemen picking Puffer up.

"Officers arrest that man, his name is Sire Puffer and he's a wanted man."

After looking at Puffer and his wanted photo, they placed him in handcuffs and dragged him away in their carriage. After bringing him to the station, they contacted the Navy via snail dial. Sitting in the small carriage, he sighed to himself as the policeman looked over his shoulder and spoke to him.

"The Navy is coming to take you away and back to Fishman Island prison.."

Puffer looking to the carriage floor and at his broken left arm now bandaged up. Thinking to himself in disbelief...

"How could this of happened..."

The horses that carried the two police officers began to make a loud noise of being disturbed and both of the officers being whacked over the head abruptly by two suit typed individuals. The carriage doors being opened and Puffer looking at the two uniformed men with one of them speaking to him.

"Lets go before they wake up."

Puffer getting out of the carriage and the other mafia member using the hand cuff key to release him. The three of them running to a nearby alley and away from the officer's location. Within this alley, the mafia men both turned to Puffer and started to interrogate him.

"Alright, we got a few questions we want to ask you. Why are you wanted so high and why did you mess with the lucky dice seven." the muscular mafia member speaking to him.

The skinnier one keeping an eye out and Puffer responding back with both hands to his coat pocket.

"The owners and his people sent me away to prison and snitched on me. I spent a decade in prison at Fishman island and now I found out that they are here. I'm here for revenge."

The muscular mafia member taking off his sunglasses.

"You are very strong and seem pretty smart since you escaped a prison. Your bounty is pretty high and i'm surprised Jackal was able to do a number on you."

Puffer scuffed as he rolled his eyes.

"He took the energy steroids that I use to sell when I was an underworld broker.."

The muscular man's jaw dropping in shock.

"You were an underworld broker.. that means you know the ins and out of the market..."

Puffer replied back as he leaned against the wall.

"Well I am a former underworld broker... but i'm trying to get back in the business.. again.."

The muscular man tapped his shoulder.

"Tell you what, join our crew and we will help you get rid of them. We have connections in this territory..."

Puffer showing his teeth in excitement.

"You got yourself a deal. I'm in."

Puffer was taken to one of their bases of operation and being healed up by one of their best doctors. After being patched up, the muscular man entered the room where Puffer was resting his body at.

"Get dressed, we are going to take care of Jackal tonight."

Midnight had approached and the doors to the lucky dice seven casino were closed. The backdoors on the other hand were carefully pick locked and Puffer and the other two mafia members made entry. Stealth was the game, and the first step in order to accomplish any task was to find the security room and disable the cameras. After restraining one of the guards, he told them where the security room was in exchange for his life being spared. A simple knock out did the trick and an execution was then proceeded after with a silent pistol.

The security room was then taken over, and the uniformed guards were killed. The computers that worked the cameras were destroyed and the alarm system was disabled. They made there way to Jackals office with stealth and silent executions. Upon entering his office, Jackal sat on the couch with two grunts by his side. Executed with quick ease upon entering the door by the two mafia members. Jackal stood up in shock and Puffer locked eyes with him and began interrogating him.

"Where is Simon and Gambles..."

Jackal reaching for his energy steroid pill and cuffing it with his hand as he took it out of his pocket.

"They aren't here... What else do u want to know...."

Before Jackal could quickly take the pill, the skinnier mafia member firing his pistol at Jackal's hand and Puffer appearing in front of him and grabbing him by the throat with a strong grip.

"Those pills were mine that you stole... and this casino.. was probably spent with my hard earnings too! WASN'T IT!"

Puffer throwing him against the couch chair and towering over his body. Jackal looked at him with a smirk.

"We could make a deal Puffer. How's about I give you all of your money and pills back?"

Puffer slamming his hook into Jackal's gut while also lifting him up to the air.

"Those can always be replaced. Your life however won't be."

Slamming him against the couch that would then break into pieces and a pool of blood leaking on the ground.

"You will die a fool!"

Jackal pulling out his revolver and Puffer slamming his boot onto Jackal's hand, causing the revolver to aim at Jackal and shooting himself in the head.

The muscular mafia member looking at Puffer.

"Well now we won't be able to find those two guys that you needed to find.."

Puffer looking over the shoulder at the muscular man.

"Don't worry, they will come.."

The next morning had approached, all over the news of Alabasta was that the casino was broken into and all those inside were executed. Gambles and Simon heading straight to the casino and discovering Jackal's body on the ground dead.

Simon kneeling over his son and crying as he looks over his shoulder at Gambles.

"Who could of done this!"

Gambles smoking his cigar and releasing the smoke.

"Two officers apprehended a suspect last night that caused trouble here.. His name was Sire Puffer... our former associate..."

Gambles, Mr Fix, and Simon sat in the meeting room in the casino of lucky dice seven. Gamble did his smoking, Mr Fix tapped his fingers on the table, and Simon going over Puffer's file.

"How did we not notice his wanted file...."

Mr Fix responded back to Simon as he darted his eyes at him as he spoke up.

"Well considering that he escaped ten years ago and his bounty is lower than the more wanted individuals... I can see how we missed that..."

Gambles put his cigar into the ashes and looked to Simon while rising to his feet and placing both his hands at the edges of the meeting table.

"Don't worry Simon, we will get rid of Puffer. Now looking over the camera footage that I personally have installed within my house before it shut off... He was with two other men and entered the back entrance."

Mr Fix then responded with a raised eyebrow.

"So he paid two other guys to help him?"

Gambles sighed in anger and looked to Mr Fix.

"It's not that simple. Those two men, their uniforms... he's with the Crazy Heart Pirates Mafia crew... They control things here and if he is in their crew then we are in trouble."

Simon responding back with an angry tone of voice.

"Then what the hell do we do now?!"

Gambles looking to Simon then at Mr Fix with stern look.

"You use to be an assassin right? and you have connections in this city. I don't suppose you can do one last job?"

Mr Fix looking to Gambles and then at Simon.

"I can but... if I ask for help with my former associates, then I have no choice but to cut ties with the both of you.. I left that life behind..."

Simon tearing up and maintaining his composure.

"We will leave the city after Puffer's death and relocate..."

Gambles red veins would grow on his eyeballs in a furious type of manner.

"Excuse me?! after all we have worked for, for two decades and you want to just leave here because of one man!"

Simon responding back with an anger to his voice.

"One man? he's with the mafia! if we don't get rid of him and get out of here. They will be coming for us!"

Gambles walking over to Simon with both hands in his pocket.

"Listen Simon, We can easily pay off the mafia like we have done before."

Simon looking at him and standing to his feet.

"What if they don't want to be paid back! This is your fault Gambles! If me and my son hadn't listen to you! He'd still be alive!"

Gambles right hooking Simon in the face and Simon catching himself from further impacting himself as he lands on his buttocks with one hand supporting his fall.

"Think rationally here Simon, this world is controlled with money. They will accept our payment... I have been in situations like these before... Trust me.."

Mr Fix appearing behind Gambles with both his daggers drawn.

"I wouldn't advise touching Simon again."

Gambles shifting his eyes over the shoulder. Simon rising to his feet and both him and Gambles are face to face.

"If we do this Gambles, make sure we can get out of the situation."

Mr fixing placing his daggers in his sheathes.

"What about my former associates... I will have no choice but to leave."

Gambles turning to face Mr Fix.

"Not necessarily, your assassination crew have only been falling throughout the years. Yes your connections are good here but your main crew and enforcers aren't on the island. If they do choose to try to kill you, we have a lot of men that will stop them. Trust me Fix, by the time your crew comes here to find you. They won't know where to search... this is a big city after all..."

Mr Fix agreed and started to make the phone calls. In the other side of town, Puffer and his mafia member associates are speaking among each other.

"Now that we killed Jackal, I got three other guys... Gambles, Simon, and Dr Crooks..."

The muscular mafia member that helped Puffer, responding back to him.

"And we will aide you of course. But after we help you, we have a big job for you... Now moving on, We have an associate that saw Gambles and Simon already in the establishment that we just hit. They are there right now as we speak. What do you want to do?"

Puffer rising up to his feet and looking to the man.

"We will blow up the casino while they are still in there...."

The mafia members, along with Puffer were setting up bomb type of devices along the sides of the casino. Peaking from a window, Gambles looks at the mafia members and Puffer performing the deed.

"Mr Fix, your associates won't be necessary.... Puffer is right down there. Go take care of him."

Mr Fix fixing his glasses in place and looks to Simon.

"I will take care of it sir."

The bombs were all set and Puffer held the remote and before he could ignite the bombs, a knife was from from above and impacting his left hand. Dropping the remote and Mr Fix landing in front of Puffer. The two began to scuffle at one another and attempting to out do the other. The five mafia members that were there, met their battle with the casino employee members. The gun battle was on between the ten of them.

While that was happening both Mr Fix and Puffer had their battle within the casino with Puffer throwing Mr Fix through the window of the casino and having him crash against one of the slot machines. Mr Fix rising to his feet and fixing his glasses.

"I'm going to have to fix those repairs once I kill you.."

Puffer chuckles as he gives him a grin.

"Yea right... you are the one thats going to die here!"

Mr Fix pulled out his knives and started to hurl them straight at Puffer! Puffer in exchange waving his right hook in front of him and deflecting most of the knives with three of them impacting his right kneecap, shoulder blade, and his stomach. Taking a kneel afterwards, Puffer grunted in pain.

"Hehe your not so bad with those knives..."

Mr Fix ignoring the compliment and instead pulled out both his daggers as he now mounted on top of Puffer with a strong right hook to the face. His skull met the pavement and Mr Fix attempting to stab Puffer in the face, with Puffer grabbing Fix's right wrist with his left hand and clashing the left handed blade with his right hook. The struggle was indeed intense and Fix sighed in disbelief.

"You are nothing but a problem to us. Once you are gone, its over with!"

Puffer smirked as he allowed the man's force to press through. However, Puffer being able to move his head out of the way just in time to evade both attacks. Puffer then using this opportunity to hurl his arms to the other side and gaining the upper hand from Fix as he now was mounted on top of Fix. Fix dropping his daggers in that moment and Puffer sending a strong left hook to Fix's face. The now unconscious man lays there lifeless and before he could deal the final blow, Simon fires a pistol right behind Puffer.

The impact causing Puffer to move away from Fix and laying on his back as the bullet went through his left shoulder clean. The injured Puffer heavy breathing in pain as he looks at Simon.

"Its you.. you were my mentor... how could you have betrayed me..."

Simon clocking the weapon and aiming at Puffer once again.

"You left the human trafficking business and all of the clients you knew, didn't come back. We lost so much money because of you, we had no choice. It pains me to do this Puffer since I worked along side your father for years, but killing my son for it. I won't feel the pain once I kill you..."

A gunshot was fired, blood began spitting out and Simon dropping to his knees as he drops his weapon on the ground. Looking right behind him, was Dr Crooks, Puffer's best friend.

"Puffer, I just wanted to let you know that I had no choice but to sell you out. See both Simon and Gambles threaten to kill my family if I didn't cooperate they would of died..."

Simon dropping to a kneel and holding his wound.

"You traitor..."

Dr Crooks shooting him in the head and walking over to Puffer to pick him up.
Now Puffer to his feet, Dr Crooks speaking to him.

"I tried searching for you for years... When I found out that you were here. I had to tell you the truth."

Puffer looking at Dr Crooks and then at Simon's dead body.

"I trust you.. now all we have to do is take care of Gambles.."

Gambles appearing before the both of them and pushing them both on opposite directions. Gambles looking at Dr Crooks with a disbelief facial expression.

"Betraying us like this. I will make sure I take care of your family after this is over..."

Gambles pulling out his revolver and before he could take aim, Puffer intervening from behind and disarming him by twisting his wrist and pressing his foot down the back of Gamble's knee.

"Puffer how dare you!"

Dr Crooks appearing before Gambles and sending a straight side kick to Gambles' side of the face. Dropping to his side, Gambles coughing up blood.

"Crooks, I will give you one more chance to change your mind about betraying me.. You know damn well I know people that will take you guys out..."

Crooks stepping on his neck as he spins his loaded gun with his index finger and fires it at Gambles' skull. Both Crooks and Puffer walking away and heading straight to the exit.

"Nice work Crooks..I also wanted to ask you if your still in the Underground business..."

Crooks looking his way and keeping both hands to his pocket.

"Yea I am. I got some contacts I can give you. With your name alone and what you have done in making money. I have no doubt in my mind that you will get back in business.."

Puffer and Crooks both opening the double doors and leaving the establishment.

"I'm ready to make a name for myself again..."

As the two walk together and leave the scenery, back at the casino, Mr Fix awakens from his knocked out state and rises to his feet to see Gambles on the floor with a severe wound to the head. The bullet had impacted his ear instead of any vital spots.

"help me... Mr Fix...."

Mr Fix chuckles as he walks out of the casino.

"I don't work for you anymore... you are just a frail old man whose powerless now..."

Mr Fix looks to the remote still on the ground and the ten dead bodies around the area. He presses it with his foot, causing the whole casino to explode and rumble into pieces.

"I will get you Sire Puffer..."

The next day had passed and Mr Fix reporting to the Navy of Sire Puffer's involvement with destroying the casino and all of the other bodies within the establishment. Sire Puffer on the other hand, is far on the outskirts of the city and preparing himself to join the business once more and become rich like he had always hoped for!

While in the far outskirts, Dr Crooks started to explain to him as they both were on camels and travelings through the desert.

"The underground world has changed. If you really want to grow in the business. You must first find a territory and turf to call your home. It wasn't like back in the day where you could do business within a laboratory. Depending what territory you want to claim, you will receive the benefits that territory has. I don't have to tell you Puffer that some islands provide better living arrangements than others."

Puffer grabbing his canteen from his side and taking a sip of water.

"So the world has changed.. Back then all you had to do was know the right people.. You didn't have to make your name known to the public... But I guess time does change eventually. Anything else I should know about?"

Dr Crooks darted his eyes towards Puffer and then ahead as they were close to a secret tunnel that is behind two large scale boulders.

"The place i'm taking you is the current underground market that many brokers do business nowadays..."

They halted in their tracks and going behind the boulders and entering the secret tunnel with a man made ladder leading them downward into the unknown. Lights were set up to guide ones path within and a large double door was at the end of the hallway. They both entered the meeting room and three brokers sat at their respective chairs. Dr Crooks giving Puffer the nod and Puffer began clearing his voice and fixing his tie.

"My name is Sire Puffer, but my real name is Leonard Puffer. Twenty years ago I was in the business of energy steroids. A product that amassed produced within a week and I obtained so much money beyond any other traditional ways. I was betrayed by my former associates which I took the liberty to take care of. I want to change this world to benefit everyone. I know all the works when it comes to this business. Let me show the world what I can do. I have ten years of experience behind my belt and made a large cashflow and went under detected for a decade."

One of the brokers folding his hands and looking his direction.

"You can now step outside Sire Puffer, we will come up with a decision in the meantime."

Sire Puffer walking out of the room and Dr Crooks staying in the room. Puffer waited to see whether or not he'd be introduce to the market.
