[it is a little after dinner, and he is in his little boat, lying back and watching the moon over the water, singing low to himself]

O come home my sailor boy
Far over deep gray waves you roam
I've been waiting long long years
To see you come back home.

O come home my sailor boy
Someone else waits for you, too
The glinting muskets at the door
Just say how I loved you

O don't worry sailor boy
I will watch you mount the stand
And when you go, my sailor boy
I'll take your hard cold hand

[after that fades into stillness, he'll write]

Ever felt too strong for anyone's good? Like you're not quite yourself anymore due to circumstances? Offhand, anyone think Davey Jones will grant requests if you end up under with him?

[not that he's thinking of doing anything reckless.]

Let's just say that I've seen it in action a few times. Blackbeard does not intimidate me.

[voice]

[thatched]

Blackbeard is it? [he chuckles darkly] Pretentious shit. Aye, there's nothing to fear from him. He'll get what's coming to him sooner or later and not even a Devil's Fruit will spare him from it.

Re: [voice]

[grandlineswag]

Really? All things considered, it's interesting that you should be the one saying that.

[voice]

[thatched]

Aye. Though I have little confidence in one who can only think to get stronger by stabbing another in the back.

[he should have seen it coming, really. Should have felt it. But he won't show any weakness to this guy. Especially since he's also speaking of this guy. You never trusted Crocodile not to work from his own best interest]

What's piracy without a little hint of back-stabbing?

[voice]

[thatched]

Piracy that makes a man the strongest of the seas.

[which Pops is... was... And Crocodile decidedly is not.]

Re: [voice]

[grandlineswag]

Strongest of the sea? He was decidedly diminished, when I last saw him.

[voice]

[thatched]

Death doesn't diminish a man. More people will know his name than have ever even heard of yours. You wanna go at it, baby gator? Because I'll bring it all down on your head if you're so damn confident.

Re: [voice]

[grandlineswag]

Someone's awfully testy, today.

[voice]

[thatched]

Damn right I am. Go on. Keep pushing and see what happens.

Re: [voice]

[grandlineswag]

And what is it that has you so shaken up, I wonder?

[voice]

[thatched]

And what in my voice makes you think I'm shaken up? Don't kid yourself.

Re: [voice]

[grandlineswag]

You usually seem a bit more playful and less...aggressive. You don't seem like one goaded into a fight so easily.

[voice]

[thatched]

Maybe I want to get into a fight. How about it, babycakes? Wanna spar?

Re: [voice]

[grandlineswag]

A spar?

[Well, what the hell. It's been a long time and he's had some stress building up since he got here.]

I suppose I could spare some time.

[voice]

[thatched]

You suppose you could spare me some time. [tch]

You like to speak big you arrogant pissant but don't even pretend that I couldn't have knocked you flat on your ass even without this. I'm no twobit rookie you pathetic waste of shichibukai. I'm fourth division commander of the White Beard Pirates so you can take your snippy 'spare some time' and cram it.

Re: [voice]

[grandlineswag]

I am also no longer the man I was when Whitebeard defeated me, so save your boasts about being a high-ranker in the old man's crew.

I don't know what has you so bull-headed today, but I'll gladly help you soak your head. Do you wish to spar, or not?

[voice]

[thatched]

[it's not a boast. It's fact. But fine]

I'll tell you when we make port and then you can meet me there.

[since he couldn't completely leave his responsibilities to go put that mewling worm in his place]

Re: [voice]

[grandlineswag]

Fine, then. I've other business to attend to.

[He's just going to shut that journal now. Honestly, some people!]

[voice]

[thatched]

[yeah right. Damn little weasel]
