It seems we're all trapped here against our will, though from what I've been given to understand, some have taken it better than others.
[not that he had any jurisdiction here, and he still wasn't sure what to do about that or if there was anything to do]
Still, there's much to do in the sea without resorting to piracy. It is possible to make an honest living even here. [difficult perhaps. And maybe he's talking to the wind. But sometimes in order to study the path of justice, you had to give it a little push]
If you choose otherwise, well, it's on your head.
[one way or the other]
[and at the bottom he has signed "Aokiji" with a steady hand, but also a slight flourish.]

I can't speak for everyone, but my crew is not full of pillagers. We seek the shards because right now it seems to be our best chance at getting home. And it is in everyone's best interest to work together to achieve that goal.
[voice]
Everyone's best interest?
[he sounds mildly doubtful]
You must know everyone well.
[voice]
Admittedly I do not. But I do know that the majority wishes to return to the worlds they came from.
Is it not the same for you?
[voice]
[regardless]
But is it in the best interest of this place?
[that he's unsure of. He's not obligated to protect this world but just because he is under no obligation doesn't mean it's right to leave it as it is]
[voice]
[Itachi frowns in thought on his end, though it can't be seen.]
You believe we're needed for something here?
[voice]
I mean what right do we have taking and using something that belongs to the people of this world, possibly to their detriment?
[no right, exactly. He will still pursue that end though if he must because he is self centered and, more importantly, concerned with his own world--specifically Sengoku's position which was likely to fall to Sakazuki if he was gone for too long.
Still, even if you were doing something distasteful and unfair, he felt it was important to acknowledge it and the severity of it. Though who knew what the exact outcome would be.]
[voice]
Nothing is ever that easy. He should be well aware of this by now. But he's become so focused on trying to find a way to get his brother home - to get everyone else who'd been brought here home - that he hadn't been considering the original inhabitants of this world as much more than threats.
But as far as he's aware, they didn't choose to become their enemies any more than those Davy Jones had brought had chosen to be pirates.
It's as it always will be. He can't save everyone.]
... What would you do, then?
[voice]
[he scratches the back of his head and sighs faintly.]
It's just something to keep in mind, isn't it?
[voice]
Though it may be more than that, given how it changes one's view of the situation.
[He's going to have to think more on this. Readjust his priorities.]
[voice]
Let me know what you come up with.
[voice]
[At least he isn't.]
... I will do so.
[voice]
well never mind. It remains to be seen what, if anything, will be the outcome of this conversation]
Take care...
[and he means it in more ways than one. Take care what you do, take care what you think, and mostly, take care to survive because he wants to see what you make of it]
[voice]
[There haven't been many figures of real authority (from his perspective) among many of the crews so far. It's good to run into ones like this.]
