[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 am absolutely certain.

Then I won't press the matter further.

[nihonna.livejournal.com]

I appreciate it.

[fierybluebird]

So how are you today?

[nihonna.livejournal.com]

Ah- I'm alright. I hope Marco-san has also been well...

video

[fierybluebird]

Yes, thank you for asking. It's fun traveling with Kiku. I get to keep him almost all to myself.

[He does this on purpose.]

[ and this is making her into more and more of a hardcore shipper ] Hohhh, isn't it difficult, though? Aren't there many demanding to share him?!

video

[fierybluebird]

Yes. All the time. But I will only share him with Ace.

[This isn't helping. Now ask him why Ace.]

video

[nihonna.livejournal.com]

I-I see... it must be because Marco-san trusts Ace-san so much, that he will entrust him something like that... [ yeah she was going to ask that but aksjdsj ]

video

[fierybluebird]

Of course. [And Marco is suspiciously pelted with pebbles that are ignored with short bursts of blue flames.] That and Ace stole him first before me. To make him go on vacation and protect him as a Whitebeard territory.

And I can't steal from nakama after all. I might seduce him away for myself though. [SO DEADPAN. Is he serious? Is he joking? Probably the latter, but will he do it anyway? Who can say?]

[ WHAT WAS THAT- oh wait let's ignore it and focus on what he's saying ]

Ace-kun did such a thing...? Uwah, I knew it! Kiku-san is the sort of who constantly overworks himself, so much that you have to force him to go on vacation! [ NOT THAT SHE'S ANY BETTER... AT ALL... ] Still, to seduce such a true Japanese man, while being 3D... that must be quite a challenge... but I'm sure Marco-san can do it!

Yes! That's what he did! You should have seen it too. Formal declaration and ev--

Wait. Huh? That--?

4/6 -- I never get the first number right why do I try?

[fierybluebird]

What?!

5/6

[fierybluebird]

Ah... I don't think... That is...

done

[fierybluebird]

While I see you have Japan's gift for ah... What I mean to say is... [Lie! LIE! He must liiiieeee.]

I'm surprised Sakura-chan could put it so bluntly.

[FML.]

I mean ]

Eh? I didn't think it was too blunt... was that the wrong thing to say? [ wait....

Stares at for a moment. Is he blushing... why... is that...so cute...! ]

[fierybluebird]

[She taught him the importance of suffixes, he learned from watching Kiku which one to use on her. Mostly because Japan outright explained that one meant cute in a good way.]

No... it's fine. I suppose I over-reacted. Just thinking about an old discussion I've had with Kiku about nakama and lines blurring.

[THAT and he deadpan jokes too much and sometimes it bites him in the ass. He's hiding his moe-blush by glancing away. Obviously this fools everyone.]

[nihonna.livejournal.com]

I'm sure it was not an overreaction... ah, that's right. Friendship and close relationships... they often make a lot of lines blurry and very easy to cross, don't they... [ She says that as though she adds "And I'm speaking from experience" without outright saying it. But oh cute hiding his moe blush... she does that thing when she hides her smile again, because so cute... ]

...Anyway, I think this is the first time I've seen Marco-san make that sort of face.

[fierybluebird]

Aye. [Because that is all that can be said on that.]

[...] Eh? Is this some sort of unified Japanese front to get revenge for all the times I do that?

[nihonna.livejournal.com]

W-what are you saying! Accusing me of attempting to gain revenge... I would never even consider doing such a thing! [ yes she would ] How rude!

[fierybluebird]

Ah-ah-ah Sakura-chan. [Ticks a finger back and forth, grinning broadly.]

You should leave revenge to the experts.

[nihonna.livejournal.com]

[ hufff ] That is why I said I would never consider it- a pure, innocent maiden such as myself could never... [ this is all BS but image is important ] Ah, who would be considered an expert, though...?
