So. I should be back on Sunny in a couple of days. Hopefully the pistachios are gone by then. It feels like going home. I missed you guys during the ship swap fiasco.

Oh. I'm bringing some coconuts back, too.

Also. Mangoes are the best thing in the world.

So the fires have been set. I'm guessing you have some sort of fuel for them as of late, dearest son of mine. There have been rumors, but I want to hear it from the source.

[daienkai_entei]

You. What the hell are you doing here.

[daienkai_entei]

And you're no father of mine.

[crypticmetaphor]

Mn. It seems I have failed you in that sense, but Newgate did well to raise you into a proper man. Am I not correct in that statement?

And I am here to check up on my blood. You are with a Marine now, correct? An odd thing - to dip you fingers into that sort of pool. But if the rumors are correct, I know the man and while he is leashed by Sengoku and his minions, I have seen him run wild.

A fitting match for the wild fires of your heart, Ace.

[daienkai_entei]

He did a helluva lot better than you did, that's for sure.

And yeah, I'm "with" a Marine. What of it? What the fuck do you want, you bastard?

[crypticmetaphor]

I should thank Edward Newgate for his contributions to my son. I am glad he shaped you into a proper pirate - it fits you, little Ace of Spades.

I was curious how he is treating you - I remember him from Loguetown, if it is the same man. A logia user as well, correct? You were always drawn to the exotic, but such is the nature of fire.

Drawn to that that has the potential to destroy it. I do hope you don't lose yourself in the thickness of it. You would be wise to keep burning, burning until you reach your own shores.

I want to talk to you.

[daienkai_entei]

I'm no death card, Dragon.

He treats me just fine, although I doubt you really care.

And I gathered that. What do you want to talk about?

[crypticmetaphor]

What do you think I named you after? The Ace of Spades; the wild card in a deck of thousands of faces, all the same, all working for the same purpose. The Ace of Spades - it stands against all others, an oddity in a sea of normalcy. You should be proud of that name; your mother was so fond of it as well.

Ah, but I have said I cared. I am curious as to who is taking care of you now. You were always such a clingy child.

I want to discuss a visit.

[daienkai_entei]

Mom was...?

No. You are not going to see me ever again unless the visit ends with you in a ditch somewhere.

[crypticmetaphor]

It was the one name were agreed upon.

Ah, so violent, so fierce - you are your element boy.

Perhaps I should visit your lover instead. He must know something about you.

[daienkai_entei]

You stay the fuck away from him.

[crypticmetaphor]

And the Ace of Spades shows his true colors, mocking passion with anger, showing your teeth when you wish to show your heart. The true colors of a man who is burning - well, burn then! Burn then Ace and show me your true colors!

Shabondy, correct?

[daienkai_entei]

I swear to god if you touch him I will burn you to a crisp, biological father or no.

What the hell did mom see in you?

[crypticmetaphor]

Passion, passion, passion - show me the waves and make head to your own fate. If you are such a burning ember, then consume, Portgas D. Ace!

I will have a word with the man that is your counter; to the Joker in a deck of faceless dogs. I will speak with this Commodore.

Dead and buried.

[daienkai_entei]

No! Don't!

What?

[crypticmetaphor]

Ha, then you will meet with me?

Dead and buried - I do not speak of the woman of whom you took your very name.
