[Even though Marco's showy, he's normally a bit more careful about avoiding displaying the blue flames. Still, there's a quick glimpse of him playing with them on his arm, clearly relieved to have his chip out, before noticing the camera is on and they go instantly out like a light.]

Hey Straw-Hat, how would you like to go flying? [There's a

Fly? ...Oh! Is that something you can do?

[fierybluebird]

I can. [Says it without quite gloating at least.]

[twinned_clone]

That is really cool! I met one other person who can, too.

[fierybluebird]

Yeah, there seem to be more than I expected here.

It's kind of funny, there's only six people who can back in my world.

[twinned_clone]

Why can the 6 people fly? Is it a power?

[fierybluebird]

Right, a devil fruit.

[twinned_clone]

Devil Fruit? I never heard of those before.

[fierybluebird]

I guess they're pretty rare off of the Grand Line. Well, even on the Grand Line.

It's a cursed fruit. If you eat one, you're cursed for life to never swim again, but you gain a power, supposedly of the devil or something. Each one is a bit different. Mine's a zoan, making me sort of half phoenix, and I can turn into one at whim.

[Well, now he wants to ask about the Grand Line, but instead he listens to the rest of it.]

Oh, so they are fruits that give powers. Did you eat one by accident?

[fierybluebird]

I don't even remember. It was ages ago. I used to think I was really just a phoenix who could disguise myself as a human. Took me a while to learn about devil fruits and figure it out, eh.

[twinned_clone]

It sounds very different from the place I am from. But, I'd like to see you fly sometime!

[fierybluebird]

I'll make sure to show you a little then.

What was the place you're from like?

[twinned_clone]

Okay!

Has anyone told you about 'Earth?' before? If they did, it's probably the same.

Most people don't have powers. Or, they don't believe in them either.

[fierybluebird]

Haven't heard of -- wait, is that where the countries are from?

I see. Wait, nothing? Not even the fishmen?

[twinned_clone]

Countries? Wait, do you mean the ones named Sweden and Denmark, and Finland? I thought they were also people.

Fish men? Are those like mermaids?

[fierybluebird]

Right them. I don't know, Denmark seems to act otherwise, but I doubt he's a fair representative for all of them.

A little, but kind of in reverse. Merfolk have fishtails and believe in peacefully living side by side with people, fishmen have more human legs but tend to be a lot more fishlike in face and body and they're strong. My brother Namur is one. Heh, wish I had a picture to show you.
