[Ace opens his journal, ready to speak, but all that comes out at first is a sigh. Ah, shit. He's been brooding again.] Guess Nami was right....

[Oh, gonna be all ~*~secretive~*~ are we. Nice, Ace. Nice. Did you pull out your journal just to be an emo kid who misses his home, nakama, and ocean more than anything? Guess so. A minute or two of silence

Eat, train, go exploring... [Yes, he eats to stave off boredom.] ...Can't think of anything else, but does that help?

[hiken_ace]

...yeah, it does. Though eating when you're bored isn't very healthy...

[4starsavior]

Great!

[He chuckles at that last bit.] Yeah, maybe, but that's what training's for! That way, I get to work off all that food and get stronger at the same time!

[hiken_ace]

--heheh. That's one way of looking at it.

[4starsavior]

Well, it's what works for me! ...So, what's a skiff? Is it some kinda dessert? [Dammit, Goku, not everything is related to food!]

.......wow shortest tag nirvana ever

[hiken_ace]

Na, it's a small boat. Usually only fits one or two people.

I had one back home.

Sorry it took me so long to reply...

[4starsavior]

Well, I dunno much about boats, but I met a pirate here - maybe he could help you build it!

no problem!

[hiken_ace]

Yeah, I've met a lot of other pirates from my world here.

[4starsavior]

That's neat! Are any of 'em from your crew?

...Oh, and the pirate's name is Luffy - do you know him? [...]

[hiken_ace]

Yeah, Marco. [Teach doesn't count anymore.]

Yeah, he's my little brother! You've met him?

[4starsavior]

Oh? What's he like?

Yep! I guess he knew me from when I was here before, but I don't remember it. Still, he's really fun to hang around with, and he's a really nice guy!

[hiken_ace]

He's a damn good brother, for one thing. But he needs a looooot of attention. He's pretty funny, too.

He's great, right!? He's a bit of an idiot, but damn, that kid's the best!

[4starsavior]

So this Marco guy's your brother too? Why aren't all three of you on the same crew? [Goku figures that he might understand it better if he knew what having a brother was like. Well, he has a brother, but he doesn't really consider the two of them to be related, given that said brother wanted to kill all humans.]

Yep! Plus, he's got a really neat power - I don't think I've ever seen any humans who could stretch their arms out like that! [Aliens, yes. Pink world-killing bubble gum monsters, yes. But not humans.]

[hiken_ace]

Luffy's been my brother since we were kids. But Marco became my brother when I joined Whitebeard's crew. [.....sob, poor Goku. YOU NEED TO GET A GOOD BROTHER.

He laughs.] He's pretty damn good with those, isn't he?

[4starsavior]

...How can someone "become" your brother? Did you get adopted or something? [From what he was told, that's sort of what happened with him and his grandpa. Key words being "sort of".]

Yep! He's pretty tough for his age too! [Well, maybe not compared to, say, Gohan or possibly himself when they were his age, but it's still a great start in his eyes, especially for someone who can't use ki at all.]

[hiken_ace]

--in a way, yes. I was adopted into Whitebeard's crew.

He's always getting stronger when I'm not looking. Probably because of all the trouble he gets into.
