Captain's Log 1

[In blue ink there's a very flowing script from someone who clearly has no idea that this is public.]

Captains Log
Day 1 of being Captain

Teleported to strange island. Green fountain is the only clue, flying the nearby area didn't help figure out location. If it's in the New World, it's not one of Whitebeard's islands.

Surrounded by noisy idiots who are no help.

Still miss Pops.

[He has to consider what that means. So Robin doesn't want him to steal, or is it supposed to be a warning?]

You won't get caught. Otherwise it wouldn't be a favor.

It may be easier to appropriate the money, rather than the ship.

Not if the rest of the pirates here are as dumb as the ones I saw early in.

Have you met others from our world? Aside from the belly-crawler writing to you on the next page.

You can see that? [You're a genius. Can he steal you? Oh, and you hate Crocodile too? He will marry you. Are you even a girl? He doesn't care.]

Not yet, but it sounds like some were still coming more gradually than others. And I'd like to hope the less stupid ones from my crew wouldn't have stuck around any longer than I did.

How about you, Robin?

And a few others.

[The fountain drawing is done now. It's no work of art by any means, but there's chiaroscuro on it. Because she's classy like that.]

A few. You are not alone, you know.

If you see a certain young man in a straw hat, let me know?

Ace's little brother, not Shanks twenty-five years ago, I hope you mean? [Lulz time is fun, right?]

Aye, I shall. And likewise, if you please. I still owe him a favor as well. [More that he feels he owes it to Ace, and it's the kind of thing that will never be paid off.] He saved my father's life from another death attempt from Crocodile at Marineford. [Since Robin can see the thread with Crocodile maybe it will clarify a thing or two.]

Indeed. Monkey D. Luffy. He's hard to miss, which is why I wonder if he's here at all.

[She won't comment to the rest, instead flipping to the other page and catching up on what's being written there.]

If he is anything like his brother, or Ace's stories, he's probably getting food.

[Either way, given the Ace thread, Marco heads to the fountain, on very high alert.]

[He can have a heartwarming reunion with his brother. Robin will be casually strolling up and down the streets with the biggest crowds, acquiring information from their discussions, and money from their pockets.]

That would be my assumption as well. But it's unnatural he hasn't found a way to make even that into a spectacle.

It does seem a little quiet for a grandson of Garp to be running loose.

Maybe he's focused on something?

[Or... worse. Marco would rahter not think too hard on that. The last time he saw him he was safe with Jimbei so if something happened between then...]

[The response comes slowly, the word given a little more space than normal, making it appear solitary. Alone.]

Perhaps.

Have no fear. He'll find you. You can't keep a good captain down.

Provided he's here.

If he is not, then you may have the protection of the Whitebeard pirates backing you in his stead.

I will consider your offer. When do you intend to leave the island?

It seems I have someone to take care of first, but I'll find a way to let you know after that.

At the minimum, I don't want to set off without a couple of back up plans.

I should only require one day. You are most generous.

Not at all.

Your captain carries on something quite important to me. This is the least I could do.

Understood.
