piratejournal | [Written] And now for something completely different from the last time

Marco here.

Sorry for my state in the last post, and thank you very much to those sweet enough to humor me, you're too kind.

Bepo, and Vyse, I have duplicates of my maps for you, assuming you both still want them.

For everyone else, I've made about twenty copies of various maps and directions to the Corsair Naval Masquerade Ball. Likewise, in the interest of furthering piracy rebelling against lawful order, I will teach the basics of ranks to anyone with enough brains to actually hold the knowledge. Remember, if you want to go, wear formal costume, and pretend to be part of the navy. Anyone in the Spades wishing to help infiltrate must be able to perform a correct salute and demonstrate ability to discern when it's appropriate. Those who cannot may help infiltrate as waiters.

Thank you.
- Marco

Edited Addendum: Dance lessons for Spades unfamiliar with waltz, samba, and tango will be held every night this week. Namur's breakdance competition comes with a reward, but this style of dance is not acceptable for naval officers, sorry Nam-chan.

I am embarrassed to say I have about three favors to ask of you.

[Locked to Grell Sutcliff]

Hello Kitten. How do you feel about getting a little vengeance, eh?

[Locked to Sebastian]

My phoenix brother and I are in the mood to spread our wings. Think you can get a babysitter that night to come have fun?

I'm all right with that too.

Good. That's what I mean to do. After we eat all their food and rob them blind, anyway.

I don't recommend pickpocketing them, you realize.

Did I say anything about pick-pocketing?

Nay, but given the reckless nature of this crew, I had to make sure, yoi.

I don't pickpocket. I mean to rob them blind after we've, y'know...revealed ourselves.

We're going to reveal ourselves?

Gonna be hard to hide it when we start blowing their stuff up, and when I put up a giant kick-me sign over their base.

[Laughs.] Style, I like it. But that'll come later.

And I advise caution in discussing plans. Someone the same rank as Akainu is here and I'd rather not deal with him.

Oh? Who?

Aokiji, also known as Kuzan.

Ace, and I can hold our own individually against him, but I don't know what else he might have. And Namur might have trouble with the cold, and none of us know the full extent of Thatch's devil fruit yet. And the other three are rustier on their haki.

I kicked his ass around in Marineford, but I got distracted, and Jozu lost his arm to him. He's an ice guy, as much as you and Ace are fire. And while I can hold him in a fight, I'm more worried about what he'll try to do headgames-wise, eh? He's not as crafty as Sengoku, but I'm not as smart as my Pops either.

[Chandra chuckles darkly.]

Oh. Him. I talked to him, briefly.

[Her voice takes a serious turn for once, her tone grave. There's no playing around, no teasing and no games.]

If he tries to start a fight, don't worry about me. No offense to you and your brothers, but when I need to be, I'm on an entirely different playing field. You guys haven't really seen me in earnest yet, and I've yet to meet a man that can outsmart a star.

I understand the warning and won't take him lightly. I'll end any fight before it gets out of hand. With extreme force.

I believe you.

But let's see if we can't beat him at his own political game first. I don't want to just murder him, I want to humiliate him.

Eh, if you want. I don't get involved in that sort of stuff.

So, giant kick-me sign.

Works for me. [Playful tone.]

If you see him around the area let me know. And otherwise just keep an eye out until we're ready to make fools of them, eh?

Yeah, sure. I'll see you for dancing and saluting things later then.

Aye, I'll probably pass that duty along to Ace and Thatch after an initial screening to make sure those interested even can learn it. But no worries, eh? They're both better at it than I am. If I have any white hairs, it's because of all the times they snuck into marine bases back home.
