[He rubs the back of his neck in thought again.] I guess you were kind of stuck, eh?
I did luck out... [A wry grin.] I have all the best brothers, but now I feel bad for them, all stuck with me no matter what.
[He shakes his head.] Being a pirate is all about freedom and choice, eh. You follow who you want to, you sail where you want to, you kick the asses you want to and you don't kick the asses you don't want to.
But I'm also the most suspicious in our family. The ones I like, aye, I'll defend across the universe and then some. But there are some who'll always try to sneak in, eh?
We had this one jackass... Chameleone, he wanted to bring us down from the inside. It's ironic I suppose. Even though he had the ability to shapeshift and take on the form of any of us, I still caught him... Because I'm the one who's always suspicious even when it's my own family. But Blackbeard still fooled us all...
[Marco shakes his head.] What's done is done, but sometimes, it's not as simple as it looks.
Thatch especially... Fuck. I hate him a little, eh? It's petty, but he left me by dying. And you know if I ordered him to forgive Blackbeard for literally stabbing him in the back? He'd probably do it. [Marco lightly knocks a fist to his forehead.] I wouldn't even let my Pops push Thatch around, but he'd still do it if I asked him, no matter how much it hurt him. How do you protect someone from that kind of pain, eh? Sometimes, all that trust we share... well, there's a lot of pain that goes with it.
That's our choice, but it's not something to be taken lightly.
Fair enough XD
