[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!

[Somehow, this is the wrong thing to ask Marco, as he despises being off balance and always feels the need to up the ante. So he grabs Japan's hand, kisses the top of it and shoots a sidelong glance up at him from this posture.]

Depends. Do you love me?

[Don't answer. It's a trap.]

[GFDLSGFDsgSDFGSDFGgdsfkgds OH GOD SO FROZEN BRIGHT RED WHAT IS THIS WHY WOULD YOU ASK THAT SO BLUNTLY]

W-w-w-what?... I-- ah-- that--...

[I don't know if he's capable of answering...]

[Lightly kisses his nose and wanders along ahead. No answer. And then just like that starts whistling the song to himself.]

...

[He's kind of frozen there for a little, but then he slowly walks too. Though slower.

COMPLETELY LOST IN THOUGHTS NOW THANKS...]

[Waits a little for him to catch up and then grabs his hand.

This is so gay.]

[lgsdfhvhijoksihguhlij;koigugbjjnkvygugkyhlhfkgjugjhikilghiug

those are Japan's thoughts yup. he stares at Marco at that though... what... HE'S SO CONFUSED WHAT ARE YOU DOING]

[Holding hands that is all. Like this is normal. Poor Japan will never adjust to all the random physical affection.]

Thunderstorm's coming.

[HE WILL NEVER. ...Well he adjusted to hugs at least. BUT HGKDSGFLKDSGD HOLDING HANDS IYAAAN... oh wait Marco said something, gotta reply yes...]

...Ah-- really? [a glance at the sky now, he seems so distracted]

Mm-hm. So if you want to stop, let me know, eh?

Alright... ...It should be fine for now.

[Maybe he just doesn't want to let go... did I really just type that sobbing. No but Japan is still quiet and thinking...]

[Oh Japan. So cute.]

Want to know my trick? [Sneaky grin.]

[You mean lame. Anyway he looks over at that.]

Trick? Ah... sure.

[Holds up some fingers of blue feathery flames.]

See how the wind goes?

Yes, I see.

That's how I can tell.

I see... I am no expert on this sort of thing. After all, I simply stay at home for the most part. Ah, but, at home, I believe I would do much better predicting the weather.

[He's just babbling to cover thoughts now... But he sort of, holds Marco's hand a little more solidly now.]

Eh? Really? How accurate would you say you are?

When I was younger, I was probably more accurate. These days, it is so easy for me to get lost in thought and be surprised by the arrival of the cherry blossoms...

You were more accurate... when you were younger?

[chuckles]

Forgive me. Not too younger... Perhaps around the last time I was in Discedo before I went home...

Why did you get worse with time? Because of the war?

...It is not that I got worse so much as I stopped paying attention.

[Too much on his mind, that sort of thing. He tightens his grip the tiniest bit.]

So perhaps you could say so.

Ah all right... I guess that makes sense.

Still, weather doesn't impact your wars anymore?

Naturally it impacts all things like that. ...But I am not the one who makes decisions, for the most part.

[Long pause, still holding hands.]

I wasn't expecting you to control the weather mate.

[100% pure deadpan.]
