[hiken]

[Ace's post begins with a number of screaming pleas. They're cut off in an instant and bodies are heard hitting the ground, one rapidly after the other. Beyond that, a set of slow foot-steps permeates past that noise. It all stops--just as the sound of an anchor being towed up from the water follows.]

I'm tired of making you bow. [Another man fell--and then another.]

Those of you who can still stand. Raise your sails and turn the helm 45 degrees clockwise. To Aeolipile.

Please! We don't want to go there! There's madmen, there! The Sea Witch is--Ungh!

[Another man hit the floor at that--presumably the one crying out to Ace.]

You have my apologies. Next time, just remember--I'm never going to ask you questions. I'm only going to be issuing commands.

[At that, Ace's journal ceased sending over his voice.]

[TEXT - PRIVATE TO THE SPADES]

Pack everything up and run. If you don't run in time, then don't let me reach the shore.

[thatched]

Aye, Captain.

voice;

[hiken]

Drown me at all costs. That's an order.

voice;

[thatched]

Screw you. I'll do what I want. As long as you're in that state of mind, you're not my captain and in either case your a thousand years too young to order me around, Sparks.

voice;

[hiken]

...That's right. But, what are you going to do when I get there?

[Reaction]

[formerabyssinian]

[What the hell is really going on...]

[Ace being this brutal while fighting is normal, but they were begging for their lives. He is sure that Ace isn't that brutal. Him telling all of them to run or try to stop him isn't the best of signs, either. So Aya just gets ready to head out with their crew. Whether or not they could fend off Ace does sit in his mind, but it's better to be able to get the crew to safety, just in case.]

[If any other crew is nearby, they'll see Aya walking hurriedly to prepare for departure while looking concerned.]

[reaction to action!]

[booyaka_boom]

*Personally, Selphie has found all of this rather amusing. She doesn't seem anywhere concerned as Aya does, sauntering towards him and giving a somewhat lopsided smile*

Aww, Aya. You worry too much.

[formerabyssinian]

[Aya looks to her, narrowing her eyes.]

Someone has to. If Ace is warning us to keep him away, then something is not right.

[booyaka_boom]

*Selphie just shakes her head slowly, continuing to smile*

Well, yeah, but I just don't get why everyone is totally freaking out.

*And she waves her hands arounds a bit of emphasise*

[Shit.]

[justicereigns]

Portgas.

What the hell do you think you're doing?

[Voice]

[hiken]

What do you care, Smoker? This is between Pirates.

[Voice]

[justicereigns]

Since when do you need other pirates to bow to you?

I thought even you had more class than that.

voice;

[gokai_red]

[Soooooooooon of a biiiiiiiiiiiiiiitch.]

Do I even need to ask what you're doing, or do I already have a good idea?

voice;

[hiken]

Probably.

All you need to know is--be ready if you and I cross paths.

voice;

[gokai_red]

Been ready there for awhile.

voice

[allendsmeat]

Ace...

You're coming back?

voice

[hiken]

I am. I'll be back in a few days, Luffy.

voice

[allendsmeat]

We found a doctor. He can help.

[Written]

[theartofboom]

[New Spade is confused. But...okay]

Should I take that as authorization to fight back, then? I'd rather you not take it personally.

voice;

[hiken]

Why would I ask you to fight back?

[He wasn't allowed to discuss why. It was fine if he told them what he wanted to do, though.]

You'll find out.

voice;

[theartofboom]

Ooooh, I don't know, apparently things are going crazy around here.

[Shrug. Alright, that's fine...]

[rebonding]

Ace, where are you?

[hiken]

That doesn't matter. You have my command.

Marco, Thatch and Namur won't do it, but I need someone strong enough to kill me. It might be you, Riku or Ikki.

[rebonding]

We aren't killing you, Ace! Stop pretending that we can't do anything about this!

[thatched]

Don't be a greedy ass. You don't get to order anyone to kill you. That has to be their own decision and anyone who tries will have to go through me.
