Sumaru had just collected a bounty to continue his funds, being on the main linking island that connects the east blue to the reverse mountain he found picking up bounties a some what simple task on this island. Sumaru himself often refered to as yellow eye, this developed from him gaining a reputation and that his yellow eyes and blonde hair cause him to stick out from the crowd so to speak. Sumaru sits bellow a tree flicking seeds from his hand to his mouth simply swallowing them, quite an unusual acivity onlookers would consider however this was normal to him. Dispite his reputation and often seen as a pirate or bounty hunter, marines walk past acknowledging him, He is infact a man for hire whith his loyality falling to the highest bidder. He is normally hired due to his formiable sword wielding skills as well as other atributes. However when pushed this blonde, yellow eyed man welds the abilities of the plant plant fruit, this less known as he often isnt seen needing to wield his devil fruit abilities (OOC: i know this is a bit mish mash but to get the ball rolling )

"I WANT MORE!!!"Screamed Cog as he held up his bowl, showing that there was no more food In It. The owner was pretty disgusted that he licked the bowl but as long as he was buying he had no say and wouldn't dare say no. He slid another bowl towards Cog who began to eat once more as the sound of the door of the restaurant being kicked open was heard.
He hadn't paid In attention to It until the rowdy noises of drunk pirates In the building reached him. He turned to look and there he saw a group of pirates pushing people out of their seats, eating their food, and being an all around nuisance. Cog as usual turned around and minded his own business and would have continued to do so If the pirates hadn't came over to him.
"What? Ye think that yer' the only one who doesn't have to pay up?"One of them said and went to snatch the bowl away from Cog. When he pulled back Cog's arms followed, stretching which caused tension between the bowl, him, and the pirate. He let go, sending the bowl Into the Pirate's face, letting the bowl break over his face which knocked him out cold.
"It's...Lenjo.." Said one of them who had obviously heard the rumors of the stretchy wild pirate of Loguetown.
"That's me.." Said Lenjo responsively as he got up out of his seat, clenching his fist. Knowing what was coming they all pulled out their swords and got ready to defend themselves. A few moments after that, anyone who was outside would be able to see a pirate flying through the roof and onto the ground dead. The last two came flying through the front wall with bloody faces.
"Next time don't touch my bowl bastards.."Said Cog who came walking out right after them. To his surprise ten more of their crew came rushing down the road towards him with their guns blazing and swords slashing.
Anyone who was near the town would be able to hear a loud boom and most likely the screams of pirates as they were sent flying Into the air, or Into buildings.

Sumaru sits there listining to the comotion untill the one flying out the door catches his attention. The guy slides to a hult before him unconsious and then more file out of the door the guy had flowen from, ten of them brandashing swords standing then being sent flying Sumaru looks at the remain couple that stands causes him to roll his eyes, he stuffs the rest of the seeds in his mouth and swallows them as draws his blade and quickly dashed towards them.
In an almost blonde blur he dashes behind them slitting the back of their knees open with his sword. Sliding to a stop he slips it back in it's sheath and crouches down while sliding to a stop with one hand down his boot. He did this as a simple precaution as he was unsure if these pirates were devil fruit eaters and if so there was a chance their back of legs being slit open wouldnt do much.
He had noticed that the one guy taking all these on was infact a devil fruit eater so even as the ones he had just cut falls in agony his hand remans in his boot holding the dagger contained within as he was quite unsure if he would now sucumb to this guys attacks. Sumaru crouches there with his yellow eyes fixed on the man and his blonde hair swaying gently in the wind, un speaking and unmoving he simply has his gaze fixed

Cog had finished taking out the last few who had made It to him stretching a bit with a grin on his face."I was hoping for more of a battle. But no matter. A fight Is a fight."He said as he turned to look at the man who had just cut down a few pirates of his own. His blonde hair and Yellow Eyes triggered a blurry memory In his head for a second but he lost It.
He could have sworn he had seen, or heard about a guy like this before but he couldn't put his finger on It."Hey."He said to him as he walked a little closer to him."You one of them? I'd hate to have to waste a guy who has nothing to do with this."Cog said with a slight grin on his face as he rolled his shoulders.

Sumaru rolls his eyes again "now why would i cut down my own men?" he asks as though it was a some what pointless question. His position remains the same and his eyes remain fixed as his lips curl into a slight smile as he continues "i work for the highest bidder... these pathetic fools couldnt afford a sneeze never mind a service"
He laughs slightly as he refers to them in such a manner and he laughs hard as he removes his hand from his boot and rubs the back of his head "these fools arnt even worth a bounty afterall they dont have one" he has to put his hand back to stop himself rolling back laughing

Realized the awful question he had just asked, finding It making no sense also. He rose an eyebrow as the guy started to laugh for some reason. Cog shrugged, kicked one of the bodies to the side, and walked over to him."So I see the work you did with these guys and I'm assuming your a bounty hunter too huh?"He said, folding his arms and grinned a bit.
He looked around before extending his hand towards the man."The name Is Cog. Cog Lenjo. Stretchy Pirate of Loguetown and Pirate Captain!"

Sumaru finaly stops laughing an he raises one of his eyebrows at being refered to as a bounty hunter, yes it was true that he collected bounties when the notion took him or he needed to but he was far from it realy. "Ummm no im simply aware of the bounties but im a man for hire working for the highest bidder regardless of who it is" he says as he gets to his feet once again
Sumaru taking the guys hand smiles and says "my name is Sumaru... but you may know me as yellow eye". It was blatently obvious why he had gained this name due to his yellow eyes that are rarly seen on anyone but him... probobly rarer than the mythological zoan type devil fruits. He looks the guy up and down for a second thinking of his comment on being a streachy pirate and determines from what he has seen that this is the working of the Gomu Gomu fruit but dosnt say this and simply takes in every aspect of this guy that was blatently visable. Although as he carries consealed weapons and dosnt have a habbit of showing off his own abilities he was all too aware that looks can be decieving

Smiled and laughed a bit at his name."Yellow Eyes huh? I've heard of you."He said looking at the man up and down before hearing someone yelling from behind. It appeared the owner of the building was pretty upset about his wall being destroyed along with his roof and wasn't up for anymore of Cog's B.S.
"You know better than that. If It wasn't for me those guys would have taken all of your food and maybe even your life. I'm not paying for any of the damages."Cog said as he began to walk off down the street towards the docks."Come on."He said to Yellow Eyes and gestured him to follow.

Sumaru goes to move as Cog walks off and he runs his hand over the damage to the wall and continues walking as though nothing had happened and making sure it wouldnt be noticed. The wall grows back into itself and sprouts powerful foilage and blooms. His smile widens as he glances back as the store keeper looking at the now elaboratly decorated but repaired wall in dis belief.
Sumaru catches up acting as though he had done nothing and simply asks "what?" as he didnt expect to be beconed along and towards the docks.

Hadn't noticed Yellow use his powers at all, he was fixated on going down to the docks. He didn't stop to check If he was walking behind him either."So. What If I told you I could get you bigger rewards If you quit your job as a bounty hunter?"He said as he took a turn down another street and then back onto a straight road.
He had been looking for a crew for awhile now but there hadn't been any real good looking pirate worthy people walking around Loguetown. Today he was about to set sail and head somewhere else to look and lucky for him Yellow Eyes showed up. If he could get this guy to join him then maybe he really had a shot at building up a crew.

Sumaru slaps his hand in his face "im not a bounty hunter" he grumbles but lets it slide past. But the rewards does intreigue him and as he walks he simply asks "how much ya hiring for?" he asks as his eyebrows raises again.
As he walks his sword rattles at his side but dosnt mask the curosity in his voice at the prospect of a rediclous amount of money that he could potentially make off this man

Cog laughed when he asked how much he was going to pay him."Pay you? PFFT!!! AHAHAHA!!! Ahhh....I'm not paying you. I barely know you. I want you to join my pirate crew. Whatever treasure we might find would be split among us. That would be your pay, along with a good experience of adventure."He said smiling as they arrived at the port.
"THAT'S MY SHIP!!!"Cog yelled, pointing his finger at the large ship In the harbor."Heh. It will be our ship If you join.."He said, turning around smiling happily at Yellow Eyes."So..How bout It?"

Sumaru holds his chin in his hand for a moment weighing up the pro's and con's in his head about not having any set payment. A smile spreads accross his face as he realises that this pirate may be traveling the grandline where there is untold riches to collect. He was naturally aware of this as he grew up a marine... that was untill he rejected their ways.
His eyes fix on Cog after he looked at the ship and he sighs "OK but i have 3 conditions as there is no actual form of payment" he says with a little smile. "Right one, i will require you to gather every seed and samples of plants you come across, two my ship is coming along too... as it has been with me a very very long time he points to his one docked a little away from Cog's.
At his last condition a wide smile spreads accross his face and the words slip past his mouth softly and with a tont that would be almost too tantalising to refuse "spar with me so i can familiarise myself ith your ability and you with mine" his yellow eyes remain fixed uppon Cog but now they are filled with excitement. He stands there with his eyes fixed awaiting his responce
In Sumaru's mind these three conditions were more than reasonable considering the lack of payment, also he made sure not to mention any more with regards to his requirement for seeds and plant samples so as to strike intrest with Cog... but he had no intention on giving that away untill sparing

Cog folded his arms as he listened to the man's request. He was naive and only a teenager after all but he was going to actually fight Yellow Eyes before he officially let him join his crew anyway. It seemed they thought alike. Cog didn't understand the whole seed thing, the ship condition was perfectly understandable, and he was down with the whole sparring one.
"Alright. Be warned, I'm not one to be taken so lightly. You better be ready for a tough fight!!"He said grinning as he began to wind his arm back and slid Into a wild fighting stance.
"I'll let you make the first move then?"

Sumaru cracks his knuckles and smiles Quickly he starts to run a similar speed he had before in a circular formation around. He made a point to show that his sword was infact still in it's sheath and not reaching into his boots like with the pirates from before. He quite simply did this so that he would be difficult to target. To provoke his opponent into actually making the first the strikes he spins quickly on the spot for a moment as he kicks a large stone towards Cog's head
He was infact almost teasing Cog at this time before showing off his devil fruit abilities as he thought showing any more with his sword would be some what pointless
