Mm, I know someone a little bit like that. [Or more than one, actually. The entire crew of the Straw Hats seem like they're more than Perona thinks they are. Annoying little things they are, a good portion of the time, but they're not so bad. A few are likable enough. She assumes Ace is much the same.

She's quiet when Marco begins talking about his father, but she does watch him from the corner of her eye. Perona can't say much about Whitebeard as a person, but he was a great pirate, even she can't deny that. It'd be a huge and very obvious lie.]

A pity I didn't have more time to look. ...You're not so bad yourself. Sometimes. Though you still frustrate me endlessly.
