It was now early morning, and 2 men could been seen approaching the northern gate of the Nanohana. There was approximately 5 Alabasta soldiers station at the northern gate I guess you can say military forces are spread too thin. Due to unpredictable movements of Zeed the Commanding Officer had to prepare,and plan for nearly every obstacle. This took up majority of Rose time as she was over planning that means she wouldn't be able to account for everything that going on.
Which means she couldn't give her personal touch on each matter that was going on in the town. After a few minutes the guards was able to make out who was approaching they quickly raise there weapons and said
,"Don't you move another inch!"It was at this time that Creed, and Jim was approximately 6 meters away from guards, and the gates. The leading guard quickly reach into his pocket, and produce baby den den mushi as he begin to call for HQ.
It was at this time that another one amongst the group of guard had said
,"You traveler are you aware of the men you carrying?" Creed had nodded his head in approval as he said
,"Oh be not afraid this guy I found him half way dead it looks like he been in few fight prior to meeting me. So when I found him all I had to do was drag him here as you can see."The guard didn't move but they carefully examine the men that mistaken to be Zeed form there position. From what they was debrief Zeed had many fights throughout the city including the fight with Ensign Rose. From what they could see the guy that was carrying fake Zeed looks pretty beaten up, and kinda dehydrated.
The same man spoke up , and said
,"I see what is your occupation lad?" Creed had grin, and said
," I am but a traveler coming to visit the Auction House."The guard had chuckle, and said
,"Well you about to be a rich traveler once my superior confirm, and take in that fellow. Consider today to be your lucky day friend."The CallThe sound of the Den Den Mushi ring throughout the office of Ensign Rose unfortunately she wasn't in. I bet you wondering why huh? Well that is simple it is because the Auction House was just opening up, and the people was begin to pour in by the mass. All people look well dress even the Nobleman from yesterday attended the event. Each man carried chests, and carts full of Beli. As they was allowed to enter into the building as everyone was welcome to enter into the auction house as special request of the Alabasta Government.
HMPHThe commanding officer at the gate finally gave up on calling the Co, and decide to call another superior. The superior was Chief Petty Officer Rogers the officer order for the guard to secure the prisoner, and take him into custody until everything was sort out after the event.
The commanding officer name was Kareem, and he was accompany with Ox, Jack,Fred, and Chris.
Kareem had quickly gotten off the den den mushi, and said
,"Alright traveler drop the lad on the ground gently, step away from him. Jack, and Chris you go over there, and secure Zeed.Creed had nodded his head, as he quickly drop the fellow to the ground and step away a few meters. After a few seconds Jack, and Chris carefully walk over to Fake Zeed body, and secure him while Fred, Ox, and Kareem cover them just in case if anyone try anything they would be shot by either of the 3 man.
It didn't take long but after a few minutes they finally confirm whom he was by bounty poster that was given to them. Even though the bounty picture wasn't always accurate they was able to confirm it was him. Jim had complete his mission as a decoy, and he was sure Oceanus was going to keep his word to recuse him in a later time.
Jack, Kareem, and Chris carried fake Zeed through the gates. The gate was left guard by Fred, and Ox. The traveler name was taken, and he was also allow to enter the town. Upon him leaving he had gave a warning of approaching travelers who he had pass not to far from here. He said that they was riding what seems to be a Croc of some kind.
Ox, and Jack had nodded there head in approval.
The Auction House It was now noon, and people was beginning to arrive at the Auction House, and everyone was seat within the Auction Hall. People from all races, and walk was seat in the Auction Hall. There was approximately 6 guards at exit escape which was only 2. Every other guard was inside the building, and ready should anything pop off. Everyone who enter was search at less you was a guard if you had any weapon it would be taken until after the event is over.
Zeed, and his men had the choice to be station at either the front door or within the building itself. To be more specific they would stand guard at either the front door or within the Auction Hall anything else would be consider restricted area, and they would likely get arrest or shot on sigh without the proper password to be walking around.
