[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!

Days worth in what sort of quantitative measure?

[Resists urge to make joke about unladen swallows only just.]

I guess I'll just have to take your word for it.

Ships can be pretty slow, can't they? Certain ones, anyway.

Okay. [Seriously Marco, he stopped arguing with you about it, didn't he?]

Ah. Pretty fast? I don't like to send them over very long distances, they're not exactly sturdy birds.

Worry about what? [Seriously, Kaito has no idea what they're talking about anymore.]

Yeah. It's how most kids my age get around wherever they need to go.

Yeah, but sometimes they're late, so you have to plan ahead to be early. [Says the boy that was late to one of his own heists because the train was running late.]

Well they're usually only late by a few minutes when they are, so just don't take the train that would normally get you where you want to be with only seconds to spare-- take the one before that one instead.

Unless you're a really strong swimmer.

Sounds like you don't want to be late then.
