[There is a rustle of papers, before an unfamiliar voice speaks up.]
Tell me about this journal. What is it really?
[There's a pause and a small grunt before Roxas' voice comes through.]
I don't know anything about it.
How about that...interesting tattoo of yours? Hm? [There's another beat of silence.] Aren't you hungry kid? [Another few beats.] Got nothing to say? What a shame. Bring him for execution as a worthless pirate.
[There is a click, the sound of a manacle being opened so they can move him, but it's a mistake. It's followed with a scream and then chaos. Another click can be heard and the sounds of a scuffle. The book hits the ground and there's a few other cries. The silence comes full force and there's a smear of blood on the journal as it's picked up and half shoved into a pocket. ]
[The respite is short because they're banging the door in. The sounds of angry shouting, gunfire and the clang of metal clashing fill the air unwittingly. Footsteps on the ground and a smug voice takes over.]
You're surrounded. Give up and die a much less painful death.
[Roxas scoffs. Surrounded? Please. Anyone near this base would see all at once an explosion of light, accompanied with the screams of people who dare stand in his way. Before the litany of escape is over, an onlooker would see another explosion of light and finally, smoke rising as he gets out of the building. He pulls the journal out of his pocket again, fingers smearing more blood on the pages.]
Lea. [Roxas is breathing hard from exertion.] I'm not sure where I am.

I never had a quarrel with you, but if you wanna start one, bring it.
[voice]
All pirates are enemies with each other. That's the point of competition. Just 'cause I'm cordial doesn't mean I'm stupid enough to make rookie mistakes.
[voice]
Look, I've had to ally with my worst enemies to survive, so I don't got a single problem with other pirates existing. But between you and Marco I think it's about damn time I stood up to say: this ain't your world. Your rules don't apply here. Think what you want, but I'm gonna go my way. If that puts us at odds, then so be it.
[voice]
Ahh, you're right. I guess I'm getting ahead of myself.
It's not my world.
Yet.
See you at the summit, Gan Ning.
[voice]
Crazy bastard. The hell's that mean...?]
