Looks like everything is finalized. The maiden voyage of the Devil Fish, at last.

[He lights up a fresh cigar, loudly blowing out a long drag as he looks over his vessel. Every bit of cargo is accounted for, all final preparations about to be finished.]

I cannot truly describe how much of a relief it is to get off this island again. Farewell to the slack-jawed, low-class fools who populate this place, and all their attitude and annoying prattle.

[There's the rustling of papers as his sailboat pulls away from the dock. It's time to decide where to go.]

So, I suppose I should come right out and ask. Who among you can recommend interesting islands to visit? Preferably ones with developed civilizations and decent natural resources. Wasting time visiting barren islands hardly seems profitable. Come, I'm a rational man. If I'm given information that pans out, I'd be more than happen to return the favor later on.

Slack-jaw, low-class fools? You mean yourself, right?

OI THATCH! What was the island with the singing fish again? I'm sure Crocobaby would love to go there, eh?

And where did YOUR lot decide to explore, Marco?

None of your god damn business is where.

[Most friendly pirate ever.]

If you look anywhere most pirates aren't wanted anymore and everyone is on high alert though, you can certain blame us, and you'll probably be correct.

Your manners could use some shoring up, Marco. Come now, you still act like I was the one who killed the old man. You're better off leaving the past in the past.

As if that doesn't eat you up inside. How hard did you try to do it yourself? And how many times? We didn't even kill you because you weren't enough of a threat.

I got news for you Crocobaby. Even when he was defying doctor's orders and sick enough to need IVs and round the clock nurses, you couldn't even scratch the old man.

That must make you feel very big and strong, yoi.

To be perfectly honest? At the time, I was furious. I certainly let the Marines know that in a rather direct way.

Are you sure that was enough? After all, how long did they use you for their their own goals, only to stab you in the back when it was convenient for them?

Maybe you should go hunt down Akainu personally.

Technically, I did betray them all first. I suppose trying to build a criminal syndicate under their noses was a breach of etiquette.

[He tries to stay as passive as possible in all this, but he bristles just a bit at the mention of that name.]

I will settle accounts with him and Sengoku in due time.

Don't wait too long, or they might not be left by the time everyone else gets through with them.

Just like Pops, eh?

[Seriously it is taking all of his composure to "kid" about this.]

I admit that I was not as strong as Whitebeard. Is that what you want me to say? It's the law of the sea, no more and no less. I do still understand how it works.

[He's not sure what to say to that. Hell, he's not even sure what he's looking for from Crocodile. Probably just to keep tabs on the man.]

The law of the sea is not to travel alone. You seem to have forgotten that one.

I tried that the first go around. I've found that the company of others is difficult to stand. I am also a difficult man to get along with.

[He laughs at that.] Well, at least you're self-aware, eh.

So what are you going to do first storm you run into? Drown?

You'd be surprised how potent a wind I can generate with a proper application of my abilities. I can move quickly around such things.

If not, my ship is small, but not weak. A mere storm won't destroy her.

Very well then, it's hardly taking over the world, but it's a start.

Hypothetically.

No one who ever says that word means it.

Hypothetically?

I don't know lizard-boy, I'd say you're putting a hypothesis to a test, wouldn't you?

Ah, I thought you meant "taking over the world". It's sometimes hard to tell over these journals.

[Snorts quietly in amusement.]

So even you acknowledge that it's out of your league? That's fresh.

I don't care about this world.

None of us will even remember this place when we leave.

How do you know?

Because I ended up back in our world for a time, then later got yanked back here.

Not even a day had passed, back there. Not even a few hours. I also had no recollection of ever being gone.

It was only when I ended up back in this blasted place that I realized it wasn't my first time. It all came flooding back.

You're not everyone, yoi.

[But... intellectually, Marco knows that if Thatch could actually remember things back in their world, it would definitely fuck things up. Not to mention he ate his devil fruit here so there's that too. Still... the only other phoenix is Ikki, so it might be different for them.]

Until I see evidence to the contrary, I'll wager on this being the case for everyone.

If this is true, it makes what we do here largely pointless.

I'm never pointless Baitboy.

By the end of the week I can tell you how the Bourbon on Gun Frontier holds up.

That information would be very appreciated.

Is that like deviled eggs? [head tilt] Did Moto-chan make that ship?

Devil eg-OF COURSE NOT! I can't believe I even dignified this with a response.

I think Deviled Eggs is a better name anyway. Where are you going?

That is yet to be decided, though I have a few options that sound promising.

You should try the spider place! That's pretty fun!

We're at Deesuko Ballia if you still wanna dance, Crocobaby. Make sure you wear that dress I like.

Seems as good a place to start as any, I suppose.
