[some time late on the 12th or maybe the thirteenth... His speech is kind of muffled at times and filled with chewing sounds.]

Yo.

I'm gonna be staying with Ace for a little while, but I'll come back soon.

[thinks]

And I think I'm forgetting a lot of stuff but I'll remember probably.

[chomp. chew chew chew]

This squid is pretty good!

Comments

[feetarestrange]

I'd ask you the same question.

voice;

[notacostume]

You know... Hearing you say something like that makes me think that you're completely serious about it.

voice;

[meatthefuture]

Hehh well I'm hanging out with Ace right now. But soon I'm gonna go back to my nakama and we're gonna look for more shards. [a beat] Guess we gotta get a little stronger along the way, too.

[secondsmarch]

We met not too long ago. I was the woman with red hair and the yellow dress.

Remember me yet?

voice;

[meatthefuture]

I am. [why wouldn't he be] Wanna come?

[meatthefuture]

Hmmmmmm. [thinnnks.

Oh right!

fistpalm]

The girl at the fountain right?

voice;

[hoodwinking]

Very well! I think our Captain's planning on coming to help your friend, Ace. Seems goings on have made her mad! It's just as well, I like cloud islands, but I've had enough of nearly falling. And their fruit.

voice;

[meatthefuture]

Ehh? They're friends, huh? [hmm] That's gonna make kicking her ass kinda hard.

[but it would work out he was pretty sure]

[voice]

[serving_love]

Oh?

[Wary suddenly.]

And what's that?

[voice]

[meatthefuture]

Dunno yet. [catches that] But don't worry. I know how big the world is.

[voice]

[serving_love]

Not worried, was just curious.

[This is like with Zoro all over again. Luffy is still Luffy, but he's a Luffy who has two years on Sanji and he doesn't really know shit about what happened in that time. He has a basic enough of idea of what they're dealing with where he's coming from, but Luffy himself? How he's grown in that time? What he might have gone through when he lost Ace? And now seeing his brother again so suddenly, very much alive...

It makes him grumpy, being stuck in the past compared to the rest of his nakama. They're all still the same people, of course, there's just...that gap.]

Action

[song_princess]

[She couldn't help but to chuckle a little.]

Do you remember me, Luffy?

[He does smell a little older and more mature.]

Is eating meat all you can think of?

Action

[meatthefuture]

Yeah of course. I remember you singing.

[he ponders her question]

Mm. Not all I can think of, but right now I'm pretty hungry.

[voice]

[bepobear]

Fortress place? [He sounded confused at that. Had something happened that he got caught? Was that it?] How'd you get out? What happened?

[voice]

[meatthefuture]

[oh... Oh!] Haha Bepo!

Hey, Law is a really great guy, you know? I like him a lot! He's kind of weird though. We had to tie Chopper to his head. You should have seen it! It was hilarious!


[laughs just thinking about it]

[voice]

[meatthefuture]

Hm.

[nod. Glad that he's got Sanji's confidence cuz it's pretty big, even if he doesn't know what it is]

We gotta use it to change the world.

Action

[song_princess]

That makes my heart glad to hear.

[She couldn't help but to giggle and shakes her head.]

Perhaps if Zeff isn't in I can try and cook you something to eat.

[But then she sees his scar on his chest and her wings poof out completely.]

Luffy! Are you hurt? What happened?! Are you in need of healing?

Action

[hiken]

[Suddenly, Ace was behind Luffy, tapping a rusty pipe against one open hand.]

Action

[redfootzeff]

Thought I heard someone I knew's voice coming from the journal.

[And there's Zeff exiting the pantry with a smoked hog over one shoulder.]

Action 1/2

[meatthefuture]

I don't care as long as it's meat.

[he blinks as her wings poof out and reflexively touches the scar on his chest] Ahh nope. It's fine. Jimbe has one, too.

Action

[meatthefuture]

[but then he feels Ace behind him and looks up at him, tilting his head backwards. The pipe. The angry expression. Ahh it's so nostalgic! Ace! Ace is alive! Ahh it's so awesome.]

What are you gonna do with that, bastard?

[but he's grinning to hard and sounding too happy and doesn't even notice the meat]

Action

[song_princess]

Jimbe? Are you sure?

[She still worries about it and then sees Ace and takes a couple steps back.]

What's wrong Ace?

[HELP ZEFF!]

[voice]

[serving_love]

...Which world?

[voice]

[meatthefuture]

This one. [ah well] Probably. [finishes off the squid] Anyway don't worry about it.

[voice] 1/?

[bepobear]

[He sounds happy that you remember him. He missed you a LOT more then he ever wants to admit!] Yeah! Bepo! You didn't forget me, did you? [deep voice now, disapproving]
