I have considered that possibility, yes. All pirates speak a little differently, as I'm sure you will observe for yourself as you meet more of us, and I would prefer not to speak for all us collectively.

Sake doesn't rhyme with snake. It's more like Sock - Kay. Not completely though. Sah-kay would be better. I've actually never heard of anyone using "buggery" in a sentence before, it sounds silly. Though it does remind me of Captain Buggy who is probably even more silly. Nonetheless, I'd prefer not to use terms that are generally associated with any navy or marines, as I don't get along with them. Part of that piracy thing.

Saori is also a friend of mine, so I am glad you two are close.

Perhaps Sabo and Ace will, but I'll try not to get my hopes up just in case they do not.

What if she doesn't want to hurt you? What if she enjoyed it just as much as you did? Also, you shouldn't hide from her forever. If you are friends, you must face your beating like a strong person. It shows that you accept the consequences for the actions, but that you also have no regrets.

I might be the wrong person to ask about this, however, my fiance calls me a masochist, after all.

Aye, that is exactly what the sentiment entails.

Maybe, but Copperbeard isn't that interesting. [There is no Copperbeard (that we know of yet) but he couldn't resist.]

Actually there was a ninja vs. pirate dodgeball tournament. I think we actually have an equal number of ninjas to pirates here, maybe even more ninjas than pirates, but of course, the ninjas are sneaky and well hidden. If you ask Dr. Law he might show you a few tricks on how to find some of them, he has a knack for it.

Feel free to ask all the questions you want and I'll try to answer them if I know how. And if I don't, I'll simply make stuff up.
