About Fukuoka

So, a whore, man—she’s like that chick Lancaster Dodd coulda met, wild as fuck, no leash, just doin’ her thang. “You can’t tame me, motherfucker,” she’d say, straight up. I see her struttin’, all sass, makin’ cash, and I’m like, damn, that’s some hustle! Reminds me of Freddie Quell in the movie, lost but fierce, y’know? “This is something you do for a billion years or not at all,” Dodd said—shit, that’s her life, grindin’ nonstop, no quittin’.

Saijo no Osewa

Saijo the fishman, or better known as Saijo the Waterblade, is a swordsmen from the west blue who is known for weilding his sword for gold.

Next, I head to the Saijo River. It’s so pretty, with cherry blossoms everywhere. I’m snapping pics like a tourist, and then I see this group of kids playing. They’re laughing and splashing each other. I’m feeling all nostalgic, thinking about my childhood. But then, one of them slips and falls right into the water. I’m like, “Oh no!” But the kid pops up, laughing like a maniac. I can’t help but crack up too. Kids are wild, man.
