[This is far from ideal. Being brought somewhere against his will, taken away from everyone and everything he knew, being branded... but no, the most infuriating part of it all is the lack of control he has over any of this. And how is he to gain it back?
He can't plan for anything yet. Not while he's still so new, not while he doesn't know this place, or what to do. This isn't his own world. There are no battles between pirates and Marines, no legendary treasures or people who would pursue them. There are no Blues, no Grand Line, and there is no New World for him to return to. This place is a complete unknown, and all there is for him here is uncertainty.
He never liked feeling uncertain.
But if he knows anything about how government works in any world, it's that the people involved are never completely truthful - if they're ever truthful at all. Besides, he isn't foolish enough to rely on the bare minimum of information given upon arrival. It tells him nothing of what this place is really like. Wiser to approach any others who are in the same predicament as him.
Learn more. Gauge the situation. Figure out if this place is even worth planning for.
And so, he turns on the audio function for his communicator - still finds it odd that it isn't a snail - to address whoever else is stuck here with him. The ID simply reads, "Crocodile."]
imPorts, is it? Interesting. [No, it isn't.] There's a similar group where I'm from, though it's much more exclusive. They're hailed as heroes by some, but thought of as nothing more than government dogs by others. [He pauses, taking a puff from his cigar. He’ll have to find a good tobacconist at some point. Starting to run low on the ones that came with him.] I'm curious. Which is it here? Are the imPorts who choose to register heroes, or well-trained pets for our hosts?
[He doesn't actually care. But something like this will hopefully provoke a reaction - positive or negative, it hardly matters to him - which will likely give him a better understanding of the type of people he'll be dealing with, rather than asking what this place is like and getting more cut-and-dried explanations of his new surroundings, and the population.]

Well I suppose that depends on what job you've been given then. Something amusing I'd hope?
