voice/action for the Merrily

[there is silence a moment, just the sound of the sea to let you know the journal is open and then:]

I've decided I don't care about dating or that kind of stuff anymore.

[sent mostly to Ace and Smoker but he doesn't know how to private it or even if that's a thing really. Anyway it seemed a lot of people hadn't wanted him to think about that kind of thing in the first place so he should let them know]

I wanna be Pirate King and have all the friends I want and all the meat I want.

[and the rest of it... it didn't matter. Nothing could be better than nakama anyway. That done, he closes the journal and goes to find Smoker. He wants to spend more time with him before the race is over]

[Slight eye roll.]

That's not what I meant. I'm saying maybe she's concerned that Anna-chan falls for people too easily, even if it had nothing to do with that. But the last thing she remembered her sister doing was asking for permission to marry some jerk she'd just met, and now she's only been here a couple weeks and she's already kissing someone else. Hell, maybe it just startled her, I dunno. You gonna ask her about it?

No. Like I said I'm not gonna do that kinda stuff anymore. [so there wasn't any reason to. He takes the plate from Sanji and dumps the rest of the paille in his mouth before handing it back]

Buff if fhe fanf fo feff fe fiff fiffef.

[...You'd think by now Sanji would be able to comprehend Luffy's food-stuffed-mouth speech.

He can't.

So he just kind of squints at him.]

Just gonna quit, huh. Why?

. . . [he thought he'd explained it. But maybe not. He swallows the food]

Because I don't wanna hurt anyone. Even on accident.

[and Smoker said that was part of it. That getting hurt was important. But he didn't care. He wasn't gonna do it]

Anyway, it's not that important.

[not to him anyway]

[He didn't, since Sanji can't read his mind. All he said out loud was that he wouldn't be satisfied unless he could have it how he wanted it. That makes a little more sense, though. About not wanting to hurt anyone. Sanji gives a slow nod.]

Mah, well. You can't control what other people feel, so sometimes it's unavoidable. Like those times when it's an accident...

Ain't a bad decision, though, I guess. We've got a shit-ton more things to worry about and accomplish, right?

No way. [he stands going to walk on the railing, using it as balance beam]

I don't wanna think about worrying and accomplishing. If I wanna do it it's just to have fun or because I wanna.

[which is what kind of sucks. Cuz even if he only wants to do it a little he still wants to do it that little even if he knows. And if he wanted to do it more than he didn't, it would be fine because it was what he wanted to do.

He's kind of jealous of Sanji and Zoro who can do whatever they wanna do with each other and like it and like it so much they keep doing it. But they aren't captains.

He wants to be right where he is more than anything and with his nakama by his side just how they are. So he'll ultimately let it go but he still wants to think about it for a while.

He sighs]

Youp

[and shifts to walk with his hands on the railing, keeping careful balance]

I wonder how Roger had Ace.... [he balances for a moment on his palms, staring at the rushing water.

Maybe he didn't have to think about this kind of thing. Or maybe he figured out something Luffy hadn't.

Well whatever he thought or didn't think or did or didn't do was a mystery and Luffy doesn't want to be just like him. But he is curious]

I guess old man Rayleigh would know.

[but he's not sure if it's really something important enough that he'll remember to answer]

[Rolls his eyes and waves a hand.]

Fine. More adventures to have, then. Whatever you wanna call it.

[He watches Luffy, absently blowing smokes rings into the air -- but then that stray thought of his throws Sanji a bit.]

...Eh? Roger?

Nothing. [it's not important]

Na, make sure Elsa and Anna get some really tasty stuff. [he knows Sanji gives treats to all the ladies but they needed really special treats right now]

[Blinks. Okaaay.

But then he gives a bright grin.]

Alright. Don't worry, I'll treat 'em right.

Yosh!

[and since he's done with that he'll start shimmying up the Crow's Nest to see if anyone is inside and doing anything interesting]
