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

[fierybluebird]

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!

I understand kiddo, I've got wings, remember?

Not that I've exactly been on a mission to eliminate all the tenryuubito though... that'd just be a huge headache. Besides, in my case, just because they're royalty doesn't mean they can fly. Or touch me.

So do the troll young ever find out what happened to their ancestors exploring the rest of the stars?

all the time
i mean the imperial ship has to come back to pick us up sometime
so wwe alwways get to hear stories
at least those accepted by the queen or rumors that get past her

but wwed nevver be able to find out wwho our ancestors are
i mean theres some guess wwork
and some ancestors leavve their legacy behind for you

but youd nevver knoww it

for all i knoww i could havve been the genetic mix of a kismesis relationship between twwo blue bloods
or a matespirt relationship between the fondess sea dwwellers

[fierybluebird]

Well, I don't mean of the ancestry lines themselves, to me my father will always be the man who adopted me, eh? And my blood beyond that doesn't matter.

I was a little more curious about the stars got conquered, eh?

wwell i wwouldnt exactly call my caregivver a parent

wwhen i mean stars i mean planets and their stories
you conquer a planet
the stars are yours

Why not?

Heh, I suppose that makes sense, eh. I wouldn't mind sailing the stars. Although exploring just the islands is quite a task in my world.
