[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!

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.]

Oh?

[Eyes glint mischievously.]

I'm looking forward to it.

[Looking at Marco... and then forward again. He squeezes his hand though.]

Is that so...

Absolutely.

[Head ruffle.]

I want to see how much I can light you up, eh?

Hah... Wording it like that...

[So many head ruffles, he's going to start giving up on fixing it]

Well, we shall see.

You don't think I can?

...

I did not say that.

Ah good, because I think you should know by now how I can get about being challenged, eh?

Yes, I would not wish to cause Marco to be so blunt again... That's quite startling for my heart.

That's probably good for it, eh? Exercise and all that.

I am not out of shape, you know! [huffs... but Japan you say you think you're out of shape all of the time.

oh he's just exaggerating when he says that...]

That's right. So no fussing over heart attacks or I'll have to make sure you stay in shape, eh?

I am in shape... [sideglance] If I have a heart attack, though, I will do my best not to fuss.

If you have a heart attack then you can fuss. But if every time I startle you you fuss that it's a heart attack I'll be forced to do something very drastic.

It is an honest worry. Hahh, what sort of 'drastic' thing is Marco talking about...? ...Saying it like that only makes one curious.

So drastic, it's unspeakable unless I have to put it into action.

[Really Japan, you probably don't want to test Marco on this, though feel free to ask Ace.]

[His masochistic side gets so curious...]

...How strange.

I promise you wouldn't enjoy it as much as the subway kiss and there would probably be screaming involved, eh.

[WAY too casual about that.]

...

[LMFAO SO BLUNT he is shocked by this somehow]

H-how--! [forward... blunt... ...still curious but now slightly more afraid to do anything to cause this LOL]

Remember that next time you want to try to jump up to my level.

So tell me about "Veneziano." [Guess who's been talking with Romano?]

...That can be taken as a challenge of sorts, as well...

[just saying. but he blinks at that]

Italy-kun? What about him?

It's a warning, and a promise.

[Shrugs.] I'm just told to ask you about him. Ah, though I'd like to hear why his brother doesn't like you I suppose -- if you know.

...

[NOTED but hmm]

Ah... Yes. Italy-kun and Romano-kun are brothers... Italy-kun is quite kind and cheerful. While he is not very good with combat at all, and has called me in the city when he was here various times being attacked by monsters, he is cheerful and... cute in a sense. I suppose you could say he is received well by others.

Romano-kun is quite bitter and perhaps a bit tsundere. I am not quite sure about him since we have only just met truly, but it seems to me that he is very jealous of his brother. He insults Germany-san quite often, usually about being close to Italy-kun... And his insults to me generally revolve around knowing Italy-kun as well.

Does that help?

Attacked by monsters?

Yeah, he reminded me a little of... ah angry kids who don't know how to make friends yet. [No no that's a thing with him, what are you talking about?] I guess he's just jealous then?

...Yes. The Italy brothers are like this.

Ah, but... I believe so. Italy-kun is quite kind to others, but I have never heard him speak of his brother at all, let alone kindly...
