[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!

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.]

That's a pretty hard one. [it was easy to dream for yourself, but once you started dreaming for someone else, there's a lot more to worry about] I get it, though.

[he wanted kind of the same for Ace. Except he knew how great danger was so why would he wish it away?] Maybe she'll show up here and you can go on adventures with her.

Perhaps. But after everything that has happened... she would be better off being separate from me, on a different ship, if she were to appear here.

[It hurts Celestia deeply to admit this, but it is the truth, and she says it without hesitation or any reluctance.]

[he's quiet at this a moment, looking out at the sea. He doesn't know the situation so he can't say anything about it and wouldn't anyway]

Me and Ace sailed apart, too. [and it was a little lonely at first, but it was best cuz they'd both wanted to be captain] But then I got to show him how strong I'd gotten. [and now he was showing him again]

And here you could talk to her even if she's far away and hear all about her adventures!

And I think she would like it here, once she got used to it. Even more than I do.

[Her smile is bittersweet, because now as before, she thinks Luna would make a much better Straw Hat than she does.]

Though questions of strength don't come up between us. We are complements to each other, not competition.
