[Video] In which phoenixes pirates and countries alike go exploring

Did you know there's a bird of prey called a secretary bird for how ridiculous it looks? It's actually extremely dangerous though. Its legs are so powerful that rather than divebombing enemy like a falcon or eagle or strange bird pinky -- [Wait, what was that last one? Yeah screw your normal birds, One Piece has weird things as you might know from the rapahn.] -- Instead a secretary bird uses its wings for balance and kicks snakes to death. For fun since snakes are shitty prey. I always thought that was a pretty cool fighting style.

Speaking of birds of prey, can anyone tell me more about birds in their world? Or mythological ones? Phoenixes, dragons, rocs, thunderbirds, anything like that, eh?

We're about 2 days out of Discedo now, and I've decided to completely map out the lake for Kiku's map program, eh. There are plenty of explorers in my world, technically the first pirate king started out that way even. But I'm wondering about everyone else's explorers. Is the world you come from all explored? Who first ventured to those far unknown reaches? Come on, I'm sure at least some of you have that adventurer's blood in your veins, eh?

Oh, and everyone in Spero, don't forget Ace is captain!

[Sort of glances at their hands. . .]

Ah, yes, I recall Marco mentioning something like that... How bizarre.

Aye. It's nice though. I was thinking how you'd like to see one of the Spring Islands. Cherry blossoms bloom all year long. It's where my Pops and Gol D. Roger met after Rogers went to Raftel, just before he turned himself over to the marines.

Uwah... Cherry blossoms all year long... Such a thing should not be possible.

[oh do you see this dreamy look still staring at their hands this is Japan thinking too much. this is Japan using double meanings. this is also Japan daydreaming.]

It is though. I thought you might like it, eh?

Marco's world seems to bring so many things that I thought were impossible. . .

[a thoughtful pause]

I would surely like it. If it were possible for me to go to such a place, I would like to.

I'll make sure of it then Bushido.

[...swings his hand a little. apparently holding hands makes him a high school girl or something]

Marco is too kind.

[You mean he's not?!]

Hah... just remember that next time I prank you, eh?

[SPOILERS JAPAN IS A MALE ADULT!!!11one]

I would not forget your kindness so easily.

[NO WAY! WHAT A TWIST!]

[Blushes a little.]

Ah... okay. I'm glad.

[He'll let that fall into silence, just walking along... ...h-holding hands... ... ... g,dsfkgjdgkgdfg

He's sort of considering saying one thing or another but he's quiet for now]

[Leaves the silence be for a little bit, because it's nice. And he doesn't completely trust himself to speak.]

[What to say what to say. Normally Japan is okay with silence. He's okay with this silence too actually, it's nice but... He wants to say something. But what.

He. Doesn't know.

...]

What's on Marco's mind?

Ahh... too many things for words. You?

...Me, as well.

Hah... really? Hm... cute. [Ruffles his head teasingly.]

C-cute?

...It is nice traveling like this. Even knowing where we are headed, and the conditions of this place... Somehow I enjoy it.

Isn't part of the danger just exciting?

I am not sure about that...

[But kind of looking away, because that reminds him of the subway gjkfdsgjfd]

Oh? Maybe it's the pirate in me. I can't help getting a little excited during such times.

...I can understand that. Ah, in the middle of a fight, my warrior's spirit excites me...!

But before then...

Before then is when I'm most pumped. Trying to prepare for everything that could happen even knowing I don't have a chance, looking after my crew to make sure they don't do something stupid... it's fun in its own way, eh.

Ah... Yes, I can understand that.

[More than he lets on. He's not really comfortable admitting how excited he can get though...]

Time and a place though, eh?

[Doot doot holding hands and now Marco is once again tracing his thumb into the top of Japan's.]

Certainly.

[Distracted by that for a moment, he just blushes a little though (while trying not to huff huff) and looks forward.]

Perhaps Marco will see that side of me more in the future. [That sounds weird. ...He means. His ready to fight, so excited aw yes bring it... self.]
