[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!

Nopony is eating unicorns.

Yeah sure. Elsa likes 'em. Anyway they're gonna find a dragon instead and those are pretty tasty.

I'm not exactly fond of that either, but that is not something I will argue with you on.

Mm. You don't like meat, right? [that was always kind of weird to him, but] It must be hard sometimes.

It is not a question of liking, Luffy. I am biologically incapable of eating meat. If I were to try, it would make me very ill. It isn't any harder than me than not having wings is hard for you.

Yeah I don't need wings I stretch. [which was good enough] Robin can help sometimes. [nods] But it's okay we eat meat except for unicorns and dragons? [he's going to eat a dragon anyway if they can find one unless it's cool and then he just might make it nakama anyway]

[She knows.]

You are what you are. I could no more fault you for eating meat than I could fault a dragon for eating gems.

[grins] You're pretty awesome. I like you a lot.

[yep.] I wish you could meet Vivi. I bet you guys would get along.

I'm very glad I got this opportunity to meet and sail with you as well. [And despite their differences and seemingly irreconcilable personalities, she means that.]

Who is Vivi?

She's our nakama. She's a princess, too, but she worries more.

[he wonders if she'll show up here. It's been a long time since he's seen her]

Oh, I hadn't realized I wasn't the first Princess to join up. Worries more?

Yeah we've met a lot of princesses. [he nods]

She worries about everything. Mmm like her people and going to dangerous places and having fun and stuff.

But I really like her.

I'd feel less special, were I not a pony. [Which she doesn't mean in the slightest, but even she is allowed to tease.] Are you saying I worry about those things less?

No way. Vivi is Vivi and Celestia is Celestia. [they were different people even if they weren't people] I dunno what you worry about.

Well, I have tried my best not to worry here, but I am always concerned with Equestria and the ponies within it. Only a princess who was a poor ruler would not worry about her country.

Really? [he thinks about this] I'd never wanna be a princess. That's way too many people to worry about.

I can't say that I had ever planned on it either, but as it turned out, I was never consulted on the matter... or really, I had no choice in it.

You decided to keep doing it, though, na? Princesses don't always have to be princesses.

[they were human...well...people he guessed]

They can be whatever they want.

I did. Equestria needed leaders and ponies who could help guide it out of the chaos and turmoil that had engulfed it for entirely too long. I did what I did because I wanted to end the misery and suffering of my fellow ponies. If I had turned my back on the position, then everything I would have done would have been for nothing.

Shishishi yeah! And that's what makes you so cool! [not that he knew any of this before hand. But knowing the details didn't matter. He likes her a lot so of course she's awesome]

That's a strange viewpoint for you, but thank you for the compliment. I'd have thought you'd look down just a little on choosing the path of responsibility and duty over dreams and ambition.

It's what you wanna do though, right? Anyway everyone should be free to do what they want. [nods] Even if they're jerks and I gotta kick their asses for it.

It is what I wanted to do now. At the time, truth be told, it was not exactly what I truly wanted... and it ended up that by doing it, I spoiled one of my fondest dreams for many, many years.

[She's curious to see what he will make of this, with his different and interesting outlook on life.]

[that's pretty tough but it's not really important. What is important, though]

What is your fondest dream?

At that time, it was for my sister to be happy, well, and never in danger.

[Surprisingly simple.]
