Nakama is similar to "arr matey," but it means companion. It's better addressed to people you work and live with, someone whom you might not always like, but you will always protect them no matter what, because they are family.
"Arr matey," would simply be a dual aggressive way of addressing someone, even generically, while still saying you don't meant them any harm unless they start a fight and then you'll kick their asses. Matey can just refer to someone who is an acquaintance or a casual friend, or to let someone know you are trying to be friendly, despite being a violent pirate.
I prefer sake over rum because I prefer rice over molasses. It's just a taste preference. Plus, rum is generally a heavier drink, but sake can be drunk in larger quantities. And not just pirates like rum, I know quite a few marines like it too.
I don't know whether we are different types of pirates or not. All pirates a little different, just as all people are different, but our commonalities are usually a thirst for freedom, adventure, and simply to be allowed to enjoy life to its fullest. Also we tend to be willing to be violent. A pirate who doesn't fight to protect his treasure is a dead pirate.
We don't have a parrot, but I am a phoenix. That is a large type of fiery bird that regenerates if you are familiar with the mythology surrounding it. I usually prefer fruit, but I've been known to eat crackers out of people's hands for a good laugh now and then.
Do you have nakama of your own? If not, you may just need to find them. Everyone can have nakama someday, but finding them is a very large struggle and an adventure all on its own. My Pops found and adopted me and my brothers, and that is how I got my nakama, but it took a very long time before then.
Aye, Ace and Sabo are dead in my world. Their time here was more time than they had back in our world, so it is [He pauses, crying a little finally.] very painful. And as a phoenix, I'm not used to a lot of pain. But I'm glad they had any extra time here at all, I just wish it was longer, or maybe better. You are right though, I will never forget them. Here, or in my world.
It is still wonderful you got your first kiss and by someone you like! Do not worry about it being complicated though. Curse or not, it made you both brave enough to take that chance, aye? What would the be the harm in finding out what more it could lead to?
Sometimes, we lose people, but if we never risk finding them in the first place, then we have already lost ourselves. My father taught me that.
To be honest, I'm not sure where Roger got his name. I always thought it was more cute that his first mate was called Silvers Rayleigh. Like Gold and Silver.
Luffy will be the new king of the pirates, I hope, someday. But I doubt he'll wear a crown. He has a straw hat he got from Shanks, who got it from someone else. That is on his jolly roger flag, so perhaps that counts as a crown.
I would like it if Ace returned again. He has already left and come back over seven times I am told, which is very unnerving. I don't know if anyone else has come and left that many times.
Questions are good! They show a keen mind and a desire to learn. If you have more questions, I'll try to answer them, they're helping to distract me, and they remind me of Sabo. He was very smart, and he loved stories.
