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!

Mind sharing?

Ya said, who explored first. The answer is, me.

What did you explore?

The oceans. Well, it was Nor who really got into that since he had more free time, but I was there too!

Sounds like fun, eh? It must have been a lot of area to cover though.

And this was in longboats.

Eh? Were you crossing Calm Belt zones?

That's not a thing.

Whatever you want to call it. "Areas with no wind" perhaps?

There's always wind. And longboats have sails.

Whatever.

Sounds like giants' ships.

They were pretty big for back then, but not giant.

No, not giant ships, "giant's" ships. Never mind. I mean the ones from Elbaf Island.

…

Real ones?

Of course.

In my world at least.

Jötunn?

I'm unfamiliar with that word.

The giants. Are they jötunn? Have ya ever asked 'em, "are ya a jötunn?"

Why or how would I ask that? I've never even heard of that word before.

But ya said they used longboats!

The ones from Elbaf do, yeah.

Oars Jr. just uses his own thing. Or you know... used to. And I don't even know how Sanjuan Wolf gets around.

Those aren't words anymore.

Elbaf is an island giants come from.

Oars Jr. is four times the size of a normal giant, so about four hundred feet tall. And Sanjuan Wolf is even bigger. He's just a mountain really.

Those names don't sound Nordic… maybe if it was Oarsaf…

What language is Marco for a name?
