[everyone is safe where they should be and they are on their way to Candy Mountain. Luffy is content and when a strange package from Ace via the Margie woman arrived, he was alone on deck and opened it to see what it was. It looked to be weird bottles with tiny writing that said Dr. Dan's Fizzy SugarJolt and other words that were too small to read but it didn't matter so he drank one

and then fifteen more.

And now he is sitting on his special seat on the Million Merrily, seemingly still but anyone with a keen sense can see his vibrating softly. Anyone with haki can tell that contained with in him is the combined efforts of sixteen energy drinks swirling in the pit of his stomach and ready to be unleashed upon the world--

Over the journal, though, his voice is calm, almost preternaturally so. The kind of stillness you get before the storm]

I understand it now. I understand everything.

Thank you, Ace...

[ooc: action for Straw Hat Host Club Alliance or Spades. Feel free to run into him crashing around your ship, raiding your food or causing general mayhem]

[so much for that idea]

They're making you crazy, Luffy! Cut back at least, would you?

[he doesn't understand the last part. Instead he's holding the neck of the bottle in his mouth and shaking it back and forth while he glowers. Glowers at you.

Then he hefts the box to his chest and hurries off, the bottles clinking as he looks for some place to hide them.]

[siiiiiiiigh. This? This is not going to end well. He can feel it.]

[aaaaand you won't see him for a while because after he hid the box under a blanket in the hold with a sign on it that reads:

Luffy's Ace box! du not tuch!

He disappears through the Nav to go ~~torment~~ ~~play with~~ torment the Spades. He's back by dinner of course even if it's a bigger batter than usual and now it's the end of the day and he flops over Zoro's legs, twitching a little and making slightly distressed Luffy sounds]

[he really doesn't want to know what happened over there on the Spades' ship. He'll find out in a couple days. Right now he's just going to sit and let Luffy roll around]

What's the matter, now?

I feel weird. [twitch twitch. Rolls over onto his back.] But I had a lot of fun today. I licked another bird lady.

You licked a what? [good lord, Luffy...]

A bird lady. Leanne. But her wings are treasures. So don't lick them even to see what they taste like.

[he scratches his cheek]

Anyway, I think Marco is the only one who tastes like pineapple.

Wasn't planning on it. What is it with you and tasting people?

[there probably isn't an answer, but he has to ask anyway. Just because it's right there.]

I just wanted to see! Cuz Marco is pineapple chicken so I wondered what others might taste like. [stares at]

Doesn't Zoro ever wanna do something like that?

........no. [Weird, Luffy. You're weird]

I only care about how strong they are, not what they taste like.

I wonder if you can taste strength.

[licks Zoro's hand]

Blechhh no. [gives Zoro a look with his tongue hanging out] Thy thu thu talthatyth thath thoth?

[AUGH GROSS GODDAMMIT. Wiping his hand off on his haramaki]

I didn't ask you to do that!

[he didn't say you did. Don't you understand anything? He scrapes off his tongue a bit and then lays back, letting it flop over his face]

Ath'th nathama ath theathhy thooth. thath thaeth the thaththath.

...I have no idea what you just said.

[scratches the back of his neck and begins to wander off] As long as you had fun over there, I guess.

[that's okay. He knows you understood in your spirit. He's just going to lay like that for a while before sucking his tongue back in his mouth and staring at the clouds.

Then eventually he's going to spring up and find something else to do]
