[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!

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.]

[LOL MARCO... Japan takes that seriously and is just like what]

I was not speaking of controlling the weather!

Your bosses don't let you pay attention to the weather?

[He is actually facepalming with his free hand...]

I quite enjoy the changes in weather. However, when I am stressed, I find myself distracted by other things far too easily. The seasons... sneak up on me, in a sense.

Ah... all right. The Grand Line doesn't have seasons like that in a normal sense though. But the storms are very hectic because of that.

[Sort of glances at their hands. . .]

Ah, yes, I recall Marco mentioning something like that... How bizarre.

Aye. It's nice though. I was thinking how you'd like to see one of the Spring Islands. Cherry blossoms bloom all year long. It's where my Pops and Gol D. Roger met after Rogers went to Raftel, just before he turned himself over to the marines.

Uwah... Cherry blossoms all year long... Such a thing should not be possible.

[oh do you see this dreamy look still staring at their hands this is Japan thinking too much. this is Japan using double meanings. this is also Japan daydreaming.]

It is though. I thought you might like it, eh?

Marco's world seems to bring so many things that I thought were impossible. . .

[a thoughtful pause]

I would surely like it. If it were possible for me to go to such a place, I would like to.

I'll make sure of it then Bushido.

[...swings his hand a little. apparently holding hands makes him a high school girl or something]

Marco is too kind.

[You mean he's not?!]

Hah... just remember that next time I prank you, eh?

[SPOILERS JAPAN IS A MALE ADULT!!!11one]

I would not forget your kindness so easily.

[NO WAY! WHAT A TWIST!]

[Blushes a little.]

Ah... okay. I'm glad.

[He'll let that fall into silence, just walking along... ...h-holding hands... ... ... g,dsfkgjdgkgdfg

He's sort of considering saying one thing or another but he's quiet for now]

[Leaves the silence be for a little bit, because it's nice. And he doesn't completely trust himself to speak.]

[What to say what to say. Normally Japan is okay with silence. He's okay with this silence too actually, it's nice but... He wants to say something. But what.

He. Doesn't know.

...]

What's on Marco's mind?
