YOU ASKED FOR IT: 8DDDDDDDDDDDDDbbbbb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[honestly I'm not even sure if the Black Beast has any tails

Sasuke's observations are correct─ Ragna does have control over the Grimoire's power, thanks to years of extensive training. Even so, his Master would always warn him that this power is not his to command, nor will it ever belong to him. On some level, he's aware of it, but has yet to learn the true meaning of those words.

Which is probably why he doesn't hesitate to throw it around while fighting even such low-level opponents.

The Grim Reaper lets out a grunt that can be interpreted as agreement. Luka's mentioned having a bounty on her head back in her world the first time they talked, so he figures dealing with the officers shouldn't be a problem for her. What bothers him more at the moment is this unknown brat's interest in his powers, and he glares down at Sasuke after knocking down another soldier.]

... None of your business, that's for sure.

[The response is -- probably to be expected, but it's still a surprise after how easily Sasuke's own crew talks about their abilities. (Maybe he should mention it to them ...) It's something Sasuke himself would likely have said, but the rudeness of it grates on his already-annoyed nerves enough that he narrows his eyes, turns to the soldiers between them and the door, and summons Susano'o with a rush of pain and chakra.

There's no need for anything more solid than the chakra-monster's ribcage and two arms, but the appearance of giant glowing bones is enough to earn a number of screams. To their credit, the Navy soldiers rally after a moment of staring and attack, fooled by the chakra's translucence; most end up swept aside in a heap of broken limbs.

It's not that Sasuke wants to show off (not completely), but that he also wants to compare the appearance of true chakra and what passes for it on other worlds.

And if it piques curiosity in Luka's date, that's a side benefit.]

[And as far as Ragna is concerned, this conversation is over. He has no intention of getting into the details about his Grimoire with anyone, much less a stranger. If the brat decides to leave him alone now that he's made it clear, the man would welcome it.

... Though it's hard to ignore the kid when that... weird monster thing appears. It doesn't take a genius to figure out Sasuke is the source, but as for what exactly it is, he has no clue. An Ars Armagus? No, that doesn't seem likely; after all, he has yet to see one here, outside of his own world. Magic? ... It's plausible, although the Grim Reaper isn't thrilled about that possibility.]

What the hell is that thing?

[He probably shouldn't expect a straight answer after the one he gave a moment ago, but it's worth a shot.]

[If there had been a more detailed description of him or his abilities on the bounty poster, Sasuke might have been more circumspect; as it is, even swatting flies gets annoying when the flies are as many and as determined as the impractically-dressed sailors here. Susano'o is barely even used at its full capacity, reduced to just tossing men aside; it leaves him plenty of time to turn and raise an eyebrow at Ragna.]

I asked first.
