fierybluebird | [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!

Wow, your world is lucky. Stars don't really work like that in mine.

Do people in your world at least use them to navigate?

That wouldn't be possible. Stars aren't consistent enough in my world for navigation. We have to special types of compasses. Or vivre cards.

We have compasses too, but I do not believe we have vivre cards, aru. [Unless that was something the other countries had.]

Vivre cards are connected to a person. They will always point and try to go to the person they come from. It's useful for finding nakama, eh.

Nakama... that means comrade, or comrades, right?

Right. Since my father was my captain, my nakama are more like my family, but that's not the same for everyone.

I wish we had something like those vivre cards. They would be so useful in our world, aru.

[For both finding friends and perhaps even finding enemies if they could get their hands on one from the opposite side.]

Or here really.

True.

[He looks off to the side, a forlorn look now covering his features.]

I am not sure who my comrades are anymore, though, aru. Not just back home, but here too, where people are from different worlds and time periods.

Aye... that would be difficult. I suppose it's only something you can only find out as you goo, eh?

[He nods solemnly.] Right.
