[Ace took awhile to respond.]

Do you think? I'm trying not to use a lot of it, 'cause I haven't seen other places to buy it lately.

Oh, did you actually buy it? Anyway, as far as I know it seems we have two people with vehicles on board, so depending on how much their things use we will need to restock sooner or later.

And that's not counting creative uses we can give to it.

I only steal when I need to. [Plus, he remembered really liking the particular island they were on and didn't want to mess it up. Ironically, he threw a sun at it.]

Anyway, I feel like we should get more of those things. The machines they use. My striker kinda works like that, but it's not as complex as those.

Or when you feel like it.

[And there's nothing wrong with it according to Ikki's tone.]

So you want a car or a motorbike now? We could ask the Backwater Brig girl if she can get any of those. They only work on land though.

I dunno. A car would be too big, wouldn't it? [He's sort of seen one of those at Aeolipile. Though, he might have been thinking one of the railways.]

Some cars are pretty small. So long as you don't want a truck or a limousine I don't think it's too big.

[Though he doubts that the store could even get a truck or a limousine to begin with, just a normal car will probably be difficult to get.]

[Ace asked the obvious question--well, depending on one's perspective.]

What's a limousine? Would I want one?

I don't know... Do you usually like over-the-top snobby things rick people have and that only serve to emphasise that you own everyone else?

A limousine is a very large car, the richest you are, the longer it is and the more things it has even if you don't need them or use them. And you never drive it yourself, a chauffeur does it for you.

[Ace stared vacantly in front of himself for awhile.]

That sounds really stupid.

Do you think you could fit a barbecue grill in it?

Pretty sure it's possible. You can even have a pool on it, anything goes to show off.

I guess it may sound fun, but I don't see the point of being all cramped in there with all those things when you could have them outside and have space on top of it.

[He could see Ace in one... Once or twice, but not as a regular thing.]

[Ikki said this all as if Ace followed a normal human being's train of thought and sense of rationale.]

...I could do it on the roof. If it's big, I could probably fit it on top, too.

If you're going to do that we could as well just place it on the deck, can't we?

We could just do it in the galley.

Something about that appeals to me.

You mean the barbecue?

[Or the limousine? Or the vehicle thing in general?]

I think it's just... Having a barbecue in a weird place.

[He hums as he thinks, trying to come up with something.]

Tch, the only thing I come up which is doable would be the crow's nest or the bathroom. Unless doing one in a Navy's base counts.

[Which would be quite crazy, but it's what he can come up with.]

It wouldn't be weird in a Navy base. They like barbecue, too. [FOILED]

I'd like the crow's nest, too... Still, the bathroom would be gross.

So what if they like it, no one said they were invited. [Just because they did the barbecue there it didn't mean the Navy could have some.]

Says the guy that puked gold over the mast. There really aren't many "weird" places for a barbecue, even the crow's nest isn't that weird, as long as it's in an open space I think that's the norm for barbecues.

[They were definitely having a normal conversation about it.]

I didn't know there was gold in there. [His only argument, too.]

Anyway, I'd like one on top of one of those limousine things. I think if it's moving, that'd make it interesting, too.

You say that as if knowing would have stopped you. How much of the gasoline you got have you drank?

[Is it a serious question or not? Unfortunately it's a serious one, he wouldn't be surprised if Ace drank some of the gasoline after all, he would be more surprised that the ship didn't explode because of that.]

I suppose it would, still not sure where we could get you a limousine, they are probably too large even for the store. Pity there aren't rollercoasters here, you could probably do one there. That would be a real challenge.

I didn't drink all that much... Anyway, what's a roller coaster? [Ikki was going to eventually regret being too frank with Ace. It was unlikely that today would be that day.]

So you drank some.

[And he's indeed not surprised.]

It's thing that can be found in amusement parks, I never went to one but when I was a child and stupid I wished to. A roller coaster... Think of a train, a small train without walls or ceiling and only four seats in each wagon, and the railroad doesn't go on land but up in the air doing loops and twists and going very high before coming down in an almost vertical descend. The roller coaster travels through a closed circuit like that at top speed, faster than any car or limousine could ever go, probably even faster than your Striker.

Doing a barbeque there without it going flying or falling down would be a miracle.

Oh, that's what they're called? They had those on an island I've been to, before. Sabaody.

[He paused, thinking awhile--]

I had spare ribs on one of those things.

Just to be sure, when you say having a barbecue, do you mean just eating food prepared on one or the whole package? Preparing it and eating it?

Both. The challenge would make it taste better.
