15 - [Video / picture heavy] In which phoenixes doodle in memory of bffs

[Not that Marco's had a lot of free time on his hands. And part of him still wonders how the fuck he wound up as first mate to Ace. Not that he minds, he'd follow Ace to the ends of the world and back, and Ace is a good captain, but still, Marco is not used to this. ANYWAY. All that means that sometime while out on Spero's rooftops (making sure they don't collapse) he started doodling. Because Doc isn't there to do it and he left the wall back on the school in Discedo... doh. Anyways, he's half mumbling to himself, half to his communicator.]

16 divisions of one hundred men each, 16 commanders to rule them. Over the years we went through several different commanders for the divisions. Sometimes they'd get old and retire, sometimes natural deaths took its toll. Either way, even though there were different commanders to the position, these are the ones who only seem to really stick in my mind.


Ace is 2, but you probably all know who that is.

Jozu is 3. He's very big and tough, but mostly he's a diamond.

Thatch was 4. He had giant hair. And smiled all the freaking time. And he was a swordsman and always looked like a sailor and had a scar over his eye. But mostly, he had giant hair.


Vista has 5. He wears a top hat, and has a ridiculous mustache and thinks he's super posh. He also uses two swords.


6th is Blamenco. He's big and wears overalls (which I didn't draw) and then he pulls out giant hammers from those pockets on his chin that are even bigger than he is. [Sorry, were you expecting NOT crack from this?] Tada!


7th is Rakuyo. Bro has crazy tons of dreadlocks. And he likes his pointy mustache, not to be confused with Vista's, which is curly. Also Rakuyo swings around a spike ball on a chain. And makes it bite things. It has teeth.


Namur is 8 and he's an awesome shark fishman and has the 8 tattooed to his neck near the gills:


[Keep in mind, these are Marco's favorite people in the world and yet this is how he describes them. Remember that next time you wonder what he thinks of you.]

The other 8 will have to come later because I have to go hunting.

Ah, Marco-san's illustrations. [he thinks they're cute...]

[fierybluebird]

Yeah, I know they've got nothing on yours, eh? But at least now you have something to work with.

[Well except for Jozu... But then maybe all you really need to know is that he's a diamond.]

[asideglance.livejournal.com]

I believe they are nice. [don't compliment him iyaaan he will compliment you back as a shield...]

I am sure I can draw from them, as well.

[fierybluebird]

Thanks Japan. Maybe it will give you something to do instead of trying to injure America again, eh?

[asideglance.livejournal.com]

That--! [gjfkdgdf he is both shocked and insulted by that...]

[fierybluebird]

[It was meant to be insulting and sort of a shock to make Japan fight back. Marco's a jerk, yup.]

Yes?

[asideglance.livejournal.com]

[WOW...]

There is no need for speaking like that.

[fierybluebird]

I apologize. [Bows his head.]

How are you both holding up then?

[ Those drawings make her a little.. unsure, really, because why would you even. So she just speaks up in her usual deadpan. ]

Seems like quite some interesting company.

[ audio ]

[fierybluebird]

[For the same reason Marco does 95% of anything ever: for the lulz.]

Aye. My crew is pretty unique, eh?

[ audio ]

[isolatedpiece.livejournal.com]

It seems like a bunch of people unlike any other people I've ever seen before. I'm sorry to say I've never met any 'awesome shark fishmen' before.

[ audio ]

[fierybluebird]

Really? I'm lucky, I know two. Namur and Jinbei. Although Jinbei's a whale shark fishman, and he's not in our crew. He was a shichibukai until he defected because he refused to help the marines fight us. Good guy.

[ audio ]

[isolatedpiece.livejournal.com]

Ah.. well, I guess shark fishmen wouldn't be anything too strange with a place revolving around pirates and all. To be honest, if I hadn't seen them in my own world I would have doubted the existance of witches as well, so I understand.

[ audio ]

[fierybluebird]

Aye, I suppose there's a lot of legends now that people believe to just be myths -- even in my world I mean. Dragons, the White Sea, hell almost everything in the New World is treated as tall tales.

I guess it's easier for me to take them for granted since I practically am a legend. [He says with no modesty whatsoever.]

[ audio ]

[isolatedpiece.livejournal.com]

In that sense, you could even say I'm a legend, I guess.

[ It's not really lack of modesty for her - she's a witch, and those are uncommon in her world, but she doesn't really consider herself a witch or special either way. ]

And this place just likes to bring the most weird things together to form some strange group.

[ audio ]

[fierybluebird]

I noticed that. Probably because the not weird is boring, eh?

What kind of legend would you say you are?

[lonelyglub.livejournal.com]

wwoww

[fierybluebird]

They're pretty special, eh?

[dontcallmegol.livejournal.com]

I don't know if I should be insulted you didn't draw me, or glad.

But I can tell you've been practicing.

[fierybluebird]

Oi oi, my drawings have always been this bad I'll have you know. [Deadpan forever, but he's secretly pleased... OTL]

I could draw you if you wanted, but Japan does a better job.

[dontcallmegol.livejournal.com]

...

Yeah I'm not so sure I want pictures of me all over the network again, especially ones drawn by Japan.

[fierybluebird]

I asked him to do a picture of all the commanders and Pops. So this gives him something to work with.

Don't worry, it'll be tame.

[dontcallmegol.livejournal.com]

Well jeeze I hope so! There are just some things I do NOT want to imagine myself doing with the others...

Except maybe Izou, cause he just pulls off the whole cross-dressing thing too damn well.

No... wait, I take that back. If pops is there he does not need to see any of that.

[fierybluebird]

[There is just a long stare. Why so cute Ace. Why so cute?]

I enjoy watching your imagination at work.

[Just a vague sort of grin, far too amused for his own good.... Way to be a creeper Marco. Way to be a creeper.]

[dontcallmegol.livejournal.com]

... {What the hell this is probably action anyway. He looks disgruntled then plants his palm against your face, giving your head a shove back.}

Stop that.
