[Audio] ALL THE DRAMATICS! A cry for anarchy! This is war!

[fierybluebird]

Pirates of the world, RISE UP I say!

This world claims we do not belong here! The people of this world say we have no home, no place on these seas, in this world! I disagree! [Oh lord, Marco's going full steam here.] My world had no use for monsters like us either! My world made it a sin and a crime for some of us to even be born. Well, to hell with that, say I! ARE WE PIRATES OR ARE WE COWARDS?!

I FOR ONE, BEAR THE FLAG OF MY FATHER AND BROTHERS! LET US TAKE OVER THESE SEAS, AND CLAIM OUR PLACE IN A WORLD ONCE AND FOR ALL! LET US SHOW THE WORLD THAT WE WILL NOT BE DENIED OR IGNORED!

Let us show the world that this era is OURS!

[AND WITH THAT: he lets out a huge phoenix cry of victory.] SCRAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWW!!!!

[We now return you to your daily journal entries of everything else completely different.]

Who owns the ocean? Who owns my life?

I'll fight for my right to party. [Yes, he just said that with a straight face.]

The open seas? No one. What is near a country or group? That group of course.

...

That is... quite the shallow purpose.

[fierybluebird]

Then they have no place to say we aren't allowed, yoi.

Oi oi, I don't have to justify myself to you. I'll fight for any reason I want. That's just at the top of the list.

Yet, they have every right when we are near their shores.

Even if that is so, telling others such a thing will just make them think less of you.

Voice

[fierybluebird]

Nay. Being born anywhere gives no right. Moreover, how many of them are truly born there? Who decides what is or isn't their territory? How much?

Good. Let the world think of me as they will. I shall only revel in it.

Their communal group I suppose.... There are times when one must fight for the status of their country, but that does not diminish their right to the land of which they were blessed with. Perhaps one of the sea can not understand such things.

Voice

[fierybluebird]

No, and I never will.

The sea and air are my home, and I'm not trying to force them to leave anywhere.

The general consensus, as I have come to understand, is that pirates raid coastal towns, causing them misfortune. That is the fundamental reason they are not particularly friendly.

Voice

[fierybluebird]

Actually I haven't had any problems with the islanders themselves.

And if I ran into pirates raiding them, I'd be happy to help the islanders out to show the pirates how it's really done, eh.

Then there is little to be concerned of. If it is simply a particular group and not the will of the many, such things can be dealt with.

I would recommend to simply do away with the head of the organization, or a key person to assist in it collapsing upon itself.
