[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!

Captain? [ yep that's the one thing she reacts to first- just because she is in spero, she figures it's the most relevant to her... first, to figure out what he means. ]

Or guardian if you'd prefer.

Ah, I see. That sounds quite nice. A guardian... a protector of the city...

Yeah! That's Ace. He discovered Spero awhile back and it reminds him of his little brother, so we're going to make it a Whitebeard port.

Ah, is that so? How curious... a port, is it... [ she sounds intrigued by something and tilts her head slightly at the camera with a thoughtful face ]

Befitting of pirates, eh?

[ wait, nobody ever told her... that part..... ]

...Eh? ...Pirates?

[Marco likes to conveniently leave that out just for the reaction.]

Aye matey.

No worries though, our crew was generally more in the fighting other pirates and running our empire through economic and agricultural stability game. You'd be amazed at the cost of feeding 1600 pirates. Mostly just for alcohol.

I... see... so Marco-san is... [ MIND=BLOWN. ] All this time... and I didn't know...

I hope I didn't disappoint you, eh?

Ah, it isn't that I'm disappointed... merely surprised.

I guess I got spoiled with Kiku. He knew Ace before I got here so he already knew that much.

I don't think that's "getting spoiled" at all... it's understandable.

Ah... how do I put this?

I'm "having trouble reading the situation" then. Situation? Atmosphere? [Shrugs.] You know what I mean.

My being a pirate isn't worrying you, but you are still processing it in a way I cannot place. Something on your mind?

[He is very blunt. Enjoy that.]

[ holds back a chuckle and politely covers her smile with her hand ] Reading the atmosphere, yes. Anyway, it's as I said. I was not expecting such a thing, so I'm surprised... that is all.

[Grins at her amusement.] Ah, all right then.

If you want to meet the other one, my brother Ace is still in the city, eh. Just don't get too taken in by the abs, eh? He's not really the shirt-wearing type.

Ah, I've met him already, actually... and yes, I've... noticed... it seems to be something pirates have in common... [ slowly turns a little red as she says this... ]

[EVIL sly pirate leer.]

Oh, you've noticed, eh?

I'm sure he gets it from me. I'm so proud of him.

[ askjdsjhk that smile... she shivers a bit, what is this sudden threatening atmosphere-

...which is suddenly gone when he says that second thing. gone because it was all in her imagination... ]

That's not something to be proud of! Walking about scandalously like that... [ she's just pretending to be a prude here, sort of, she's actually pretty okay with it... but she's still a prude... and a huge pervert at the same time... that's japan for you, man. ]

[Yes... ignore the predatory leer. ~~All the better to eat you with my dear.~~]

Eh? Kiku says I dress boldly. In a good way. [Pretending to be offended.] Besides, I can't go around covering up my Pops' tattoo. That's my treasure. [Takes off his shirt to be a pest.]

[ yelps and covers her face with her hands completley ] Marco-san, that is inappropriate!

[Throws his head back and laughs. Be glad Sakura, usually even when he's this amused, he acts otherwise so almost no one gets to see it.]

[He has the shirt back on, though still completely unbuttoned of course.]

I'm sorry Miss Sakura. I'm sure the heat just got to me. I wouldn't want to offend your sensibilities however.
