See that you do. [since Thatch wants to keep Ace from burning everything to the ground-- Well, doing so more than usual]
Let's see-- He was the one that first conquered the most dangerous sea in the world, sailing all along the Grand Line and into the New World on oceans so strange and fierce that it makes this one looks like a cakewalk.
He could be a harsh man if you crossed him and showed no quarter, but he was also clever and adventurous and inspiring. You really felt like he belonged there in that life. They say he smiled when he was executed.
[did Ace smile, Thatch wondered? Did Pops?]
Pops crossed swords with him more than once and drank sake with him more than once. But all told he was a great man.
