[his voice is ragged and low, probably because he hasn't slept in three days.]

Everybody said last year this shit was over when the new month started. The sun came up and the ghosts went away.

It's a new month. There's still no sun.

Nothing is safe. We can't count on anything. People are dying and it's not doing any good to just sit here and endure it. Even my captain is compromised, I don't know what to do but I'm starting to think this is one of those times we need to band together. Before it's too late. It's pretty clear to me that just hoping it runs its course or happens exactly like last year isn't a solution.

If anybody's got any ideas, I wanna hear 'em.

Is he alright?

[His one main concern coming straight up.]

[yourotherleft]

Physically? Yeah. I'm keeping an eye on him to make sure he doesn't fall into the water or do anything stupid.

[Ace breathed out a sigh of relief.]

Good. That guy handles things like that badly.

[At least he did when he was a kid. Had Ace known how Luffy handled his death, he would have felt worse about it.]

[yourotherleft]

Only in other people. He shrugs it off pretty good for himself.

...honestly, Ace, I'm sort of glad he's out of it. I don't know how to tell him who's died.

[hiken]

[...All the same. Ace didn't want to ask who did.]

...Get some sleep, Roronoa. Make somebody take watch for you.

[yourotherleft]

Can't. I won't let one of those bastards touch me.

It's the least I can do, if I can't do anything else to stop it. I can resist.

Adjust the course--follow the wind.

[He didn't have many suggestions of his own.]

Audio;

[yourotherleft]

Mm. Thanks.

[he'll take what he can get]

I won't let anything happen to him, you know that.

Audio;

[hiken]

That much I know. It's tough not to worry about such a troublesome guy, though.

Audio;

[yourotherleft]

Yeah, I know. Believe me, I do.
