Title: Bash Squale

Sorry Kerub, you'll have to wait a little. There's no seat left right now.

Oh? Well, tough luck, we'll have to wait, Jojo.

Papycha? Say, why don't we go across the street? There's plenty of seats.

Because traitors aren't welcome across the street!

Hey! Hi Bashi! Good to see you. How are things?

I'd be much better without your treacherous face spoiling the view!

BASHI! What are you doing outside? There's people at the bar!

I'll be right there, my Piwi...

Why doesn't Bashi like you? Wasn't he your friend?

Yes. We even established the Three Commandments of Friendship.
Always share the treasure.
Always tell the truth.
Always stand together!

It was our Code. Our Friend's Code.

Then why doesn't he like you anymore?

It's a long story, Jojo. And a little sad.

When you're sad, it helps to talk about it, my little Jojo.

You're serving me my own medicine now?

All right.
Let's sit down, these people are leaving. I'll tell you about it.

At the time, I was the man people called upon to settle disputes when all other solutions had failed.

I was... the Negotiator!

A naval battle unlike any other was brewing up.

My job: to prevent it.
The cause of this madness: a woman, of course. Admiral Caucus' wife had been kidnapped the day before his wedding!

She was shopping! For the wedding!
She never came back!

The supposed kidnapper was Admiral Squale. A pirate of the worst kind – the bloodthirsty type!

His philosophy was “Keep talking, I'll start hitting!”
As a matter of fact, of the three emissaries Admiral Caucus had already sent, none had returned.

24 hours! You have 24 hours to free her, otherwise I'll handle this myself with my 5,000 cannons!
I'll wipe the slate clean!

She was knitting my wedding night-cap herself, you know?

It was a nasty affair, really nasty.
But if there was one person who could handle it, it was me!

The Negotiator!

Um... Hey...

Good luck, Ecaflip!
You're gonna need it!

[i]You're not scared, you're a pro, you're an ace!
You're gonna take him for a ride like a mere fish![/i]

Bashi?

Keke?

Bashi!

Keke!

Always share the treasure!
Always tell the truth!
Always stand together!

Well, Keke? What are you doing around these parts?
I thought you avoided water like one avoids an Enutrof's socks!

There was no way I could cheat or lie. Bashi was my friend and our Code bound me to the truth.

I'm here for business.
Admiral Caucus asked me to negotiate for the release of his fiancée.

He's a traitor! He wants to tear us apart!
Let me put him in a pretty cage like the others!

Nah, don't worry darling, Kerub is my friend, he's on our side.
And what does he have to say this time?

Hand over the woman, or it's war.

Tiny Caucus!
My Squaly will crush him! Crucify him!

Because my Squaly is the strongest, the prettiest, the biggest!

That's right!

Well at least, it was crystal clear.
Hélène hadn't been kidnapped, she was there of her own volition! Caucus would have to deal with that!

But my job as a negotiator was now to make sure he would drop the case without a scandal.

Well, okay, but slaughters and carnage are all fine and well, but don't you think it's a little messy?
Tell Caucus you don't love him anymore. That will settle it.

Hey, that's not a bad idea!

What!? You promised there would be carnage! SO KEEP YOUR PROMISE, I WANT CARNAGE!

But my little seashell, if we can avoid doing in an entire army...

YOU KNOW WHAT THE SEASHELL THINKS ABOUT THAT?

[i]This won't be easy...[/i]

There was one thing I didn't understand...
Caucus had described Hélène as a frail and delicate bird.
How could she have turned into such a harpy?
I guess you never know, with women. Bashi was my friend and he was happy, and I was fine with that. Especially since his romantic life hadn't been very easy.

Sorry Bashi, I decided to go on a date with Guy.
You're not angry, right?

Don't worry Bashi, there's plenty of fish in the ocean.

Sorry Bashi. I'm in love with Guy now.
You're not angry, right?

Don't worry Bashi, there's plenty of fish in the ocean.

Um... I feel safer with Guy.
You're not angry, right?

Don't worry Bashi, there's plenty of fish in the ocean.

So. I just needed a letter for the poor Caucus and the deed would be done.
Glory and fortune will be mine!

Where the Negotiator goes, disputes disappear!

After their quarrel, the two lovebirds were sleeping in their separate rooms.

I took that opportunity to have a private discussion with Hélène.

Just a nice break-up letter, quick and easy? Then you can carry on and slaughter people elsewhere...

Never! I was promised carnage...
I want my carnage!

[i]Quite something, that penchant for carnage, when you think about it.[/i]

You know, when I explain this to your fiancé, it is quite likely he will leave the battlefield on his own.

So you just had to show up and step on our turf?
You dirty little schemer!

Negotiator. My job is called Negotiator.
And Bashi is my friend. If I can spare you both the--

You won't spare us anything at all... 'Cause your big ape of a friend will do what I say...
And 'cause I'm gonna cut your dirty little killjoy tongue!

By Ecaflip's nine tails! Her necklace! It's a Shushu!

It was the Shushu trapped in the necklace that had possessed Hélène and turned her into a bloodthirsty monster.

I'm gonna make a snack out of you!

Sorry, I'm not edible. Why don't you try this?

I later learned that Hélène had bought that cursed necklace in a thrift shop.
That's what you get when you buy anything from anyone.

My little crayfish! My little mussel! Are you okay?

My poor friend. Hélène was possessed by that necklace.
I'm sorry, Bashi.

Let me go, furball! I'll destroy you! I'll slice you up!

What is... What are you talking about, Keke? Hélène loves me!

Ugly beast! Don't you dare touch me!

Hélène! My little Piwi, you love me, don't you?

I... No, I'm sorry.
I love Admiral Caucus. You're not angry, right?

Don't worry Bashi, women are a kama a dozen.

We have to get away!

Bashi destroyed the two fleets by himself. A complete massacre.

Even though Bashi went on with his life, he always resented me.
That day I lost my job as a negotiator, and a great friend.

Sometimes, truth is bitter, Jojo. But it's always a chance to grow!

I was right... Talking about it does make it better after all.
