On the Dreadful Whale, Vampire was looking over the wanted posters. She was sailing towards an island being raided by pirates, who were fighting a gang that had made the town their base. It would not be the first time that she had come across something like this, where two groups are fighting each other for something.
The pirates attacking the are the Gally pirates with only the captain having a wanted poster.
Crescent-Moon Gally
3,450,000 Berries
Then there are the gang that they are in a shootout with. The Ugly Chris gang, who took control of the town that had no lawmen to speak of and are the only thing that was keeping worse out till the pirates came. Only Ugly Chris and four of his men had bounties on their heads. All much lower than she is use in dealing with. (1)
Ugly Chris Bailey
35,000 Berries
Whiskey
20,000 Berries
Hedgehog Thorton
10,000 Berries
Gigolo
2,500 Berries
Chicken
1,250 Berries
"Well it's better than that time I was struck catching bail jumpers by the dozens to make ends meet," Vampire said to herself as she docks her ship near the battle. (2)
Seeing how there are people around, Vampire couldn't just use her powers to hit all the baddies before they know what hit them. Vampire also saw how there is a is a tall and slim girl with blond hair and brown eyes. She's wearing a blue T-shirt and a green and white colored shorts. She's fighting one of the pirates with a sword and doing a pretty good job too.
Vampire raced around the town at super speed. Not enough to be everywhere at once, letting herself be seen as she zips from one place to another. She only appeared when she knocks out one of the pirates or one of the gang members. Soon she had the entire pirate crew and the gang members down for the count.
With the number of pirates and gang members she wouldn't be able to just leave with them all tied up in the hold of her ship. She will be having to stay till a navy ship comes to collect the prisoners along with bringing her pay. The pirates and gang members who do not have bounties on their heads, she will still get a 100 berries per-head if she can prove that they are part of the pirate crew or gang. Vampire began carrying the down pirates and gang members to the pirate ship to keep them in.
"Thank you for saving the town," the young woman said who was trying to fight off the pirates.
"You're welcome," Vampire said. "You were doing pretty good there..."
"Name's Silk," the woman said.
"Well go around and tell the town's people that I, Monkey D Vampire the bounty hunter has taken care of things," Vampire said.
"Will do," Silk said taking off to spread the word.

Later -
Vampire had tied up all the pirates and gang members putting them in the hold of the pirate ship. After she had unloaded all the cargo onboard the ship first. She also helps herself to all the loot found on the ship too. There wasn't that much treasure as like most pirates they converted the loot into berries the first chance they got, which made it harder to trace. The cargo is being pick at by the town's people. Which Vampire having talk with the mayor of the town have given the cargo to the town and when the marines show up to collect the pirates and gang members, they can have the ship too.
Vampire for her part was on board of her ship and contacting the navy. The machine that she attached to Bert the Den Den Mushi had made the radio clearer and more powerful, giving it a much better range. In fact, she somehow got Kong on the line.
"Vampire how did you get this number? Did Garp give you the number? Again?" Kong asks.
"No, I'm trying to call for a navy ship to come and pick up some bounties. I just used the open channel for the navy and somehow got you? Are you on a ship?" Vampire ask.
"No, I'm at the HQ at Mary Geoise. Where are you?" Kong asks.
"The town of Widow's Patch on the island of Tatan in the East Blue," Vampire said.
"Wait how are you so clear?" Kong asks in surprise.
"I attached a radio thing I found in a shipwreck," Vampire said.
"Really?" Kong asks.
"It looked like a radio so I attached it to the radio that's already connected to Bert my snail to see what would happen," Vampire said looking at the metal thing that is resting on top of the radio. She began playing around with it.
"Interesting. Vampire you might have stumbled on something that's been overlook," Kong said.
"You mean by complete accident I discovered that by combining two radios you get a better range and signal?" Vampire ask as she messed with the metal thing.
"Better then when you decided to play with the Silver Den Den Mushi," Kong said.
"I was 2 and grandpa wasn't paying attention to me when I wondered off," Vampire pointed out.
"The only good thing that came out of that is now we can call that alert off if it's an accident," Kong said remembering how he made his case to the elders about making it a new rule to be able to call off a Buster Call after Vampire somehow cause the Silver Den Den Mushi to give out the call for one. Which no one knew where to send the ships, causing a big mess at the base. Till Eda revealed over the base loudspeaker that her granddaughter got the Silver Den Den Mushi to give out the alarm somehow. Which they are still trying to figure out how she managed to pull that off, as the Silver was train not to give out the alarm for any reason but for when a Gold gives out a signal. All Eda could report was that she found Vampire in front of the Silver crying from all the noise the snail was making, and all she could get out of Vampire is that she was playing with it.
"And people still don't let me forget about that one," Garp's voice came out of both Den Den Mushi's.
"Garp?" Kong asks.
"Grandpa how are you on the phone?" Vampire ask.
"Wait you two can hear me?" Garp ask.
"All the Den Den Mushi's suddenly began broadcasting your talk with Kong, Vampire," Tsuru said over the line.
"Can anyone tell me if this is just the ones with the marines or all the Den Den Mushis?" Kong asks.
"This is Daddy Masterson in Loguetown and only the mushis in the navy are broadcasting," Masterson said.
"I thought you're left the marines Masterson," Tsuru said.
"I did I'm just in the base here collecting on a bounty," Masterson said before a noise of someone taking the mushi away was heard.
"This is Smoker. All the lines here are now block," Smoker said.
"Vampire what did you do?" Zephyr ask.
"I was playing around with the radio thing and I don't know how it happen," Vampire said playing with it again.
"I know I'm going to be blame for this," Garp said.
"She is your granddaughter," Sengoku voice said.
"Well at least grandma isn't around anymore to give out punishments," Vampire said.
"Yeah she and those claw gloves of hers were painful. My balls still hurt when I think about it," Garp said causing the line to go dead silent.
"Grandpa you just said that out loud where everyone could hear it," Vampire said.
"Well at least this explains why you don't fear punishment as much as you did when she was still around," Sengoku said actually feeling sorry for Garp.
"Wow I knew Eda was scary, but I didn't know she would do that," Tokikake said.
"Now that's just cold blooded," Magellan agreed.
"Magellan you're hearing this too?" Kong asks.
"Yes," Magellan said.
"It's the same for us here at Impel Down as well," Hannyabal said.
"I am wondering how you managed to connect to all the den den mushis at once and being able to have anyone talk on it as well. I tried something like that before but never got anywhere near this. All I could get was a limited range," a new voice on the radio said.
"Vegapunk any ideas?" Kong ask.
"Don't know till I see what she did," Vegapunk said.
"And I'm just playing around with it and has no idea what I'm doing," Vampire adds still pressing the machine that is now displaying pictures of some kind.
"Well at least only those in the marines heard me," Garp said wondering how long till everyone heard about what his wife use to do to him.
"Don't count on it Garp," the voice of Curly Dadan said.
"We heard it too," Makino adds.
"I knew that Eda wore the pants in the family but never thought that's the reason why," Woop Slap laughs.
"It makes me glad I never took a wife myself," Whitebeard voice came over the line with a score of laughter coming from behind him.
"Vampire cut the line!" Garp shouted.
"Well at least you can't embarrass yourself more," Vampire said.
"Just turn off the radio bed wetter!" Garp shouted over.
Dead silence followed by Vampire dropping a bombshell.
"I caught grandpa more than once putting on grandma's old makeup and underwear. Singing to the songs in that cross-dressing musical show Rocky Horror Movie Show," Vampire responded.
"VAMPIRE!" Garp shouted out followed by loud laughter over the lines before Vampire turned off the radio.

Outside –
Vampire walk out on the deck of her ship and stared out over the ocean. Vampire wonders what kind of attention she'll be getting now with the radio that can connect all over the world. She already had trouble in hiding how strong and powerful she really is. But now people will be after her for the radio.
"So, any idea how that radio thing works?" Silk ask climbing on board the Dreadful Whale.
"Not at all," Vampire said. "So, what do you want?"
"Just wondering if you need a crew to help you with your ship and hunting pirates?" Silk asks.
"Looking to join me as a bounty hunter?" Vampire asked as she looks Silk over.
The shirt showed off her ample bust that showed promise for more as she grew older and she did saw that ass. Vampire used her x-ray vision and liked what she saw. And Silk showed some good sword skills as well.
"You did show that you can handle yourself during the attack," Vampire said.
"So I can join?" Silk asks.
"It will take awhile before the navy ship gets here. So we'll have all that time to get to know each other," Vampire said.
"So that we know if we can stand each other when we're all alone on the ship?" Silk asks.
"That and my lifestyle," Vampire ask.
"Lifestyle?" Silk asks.
"I'm a lesbian and I find you attractive," Vampire said.
"Oh," Silk said blushing.
"So you're going to have to get use to that if you're going to be sailing with me," Vampire explains.

Author's Notes -
1 - Red Dead Revolver
2 - Seeing how this is the East Blue the weakest sea and that all the big name pirates are all in the Grand Line. There wouldn't be that many bounties that are in the millions.
