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.

[Just words, just words.]

[There's a part of Marco that rages at them, but most of him pushes it aside. It doesn't matter. None of those things ever did. If they failed Ace it was in not teaching him enough. Not giving him more reason to stay home, and not enough support as he needed in his choices.]

[Pops lived free and happy the way he wanted to, as did Ace.]

[What did they leave? Simple really.]

Legacy.

[It was a hard burden on Marco, and to date, he still hates it. He resents it. But he's glad for it too. Whitebeard had no regrets, and even if he has to face losing territory and all of his nakama, there are some things no one can take away. No matter how they take down the flags they worked so hard to put up, no matter how much death and chaos rages in the wake, he'll always have his name, and for that Marco will always have his Whitebeard pride.]

My father opened and closed the gate on more eras than anyone else. He lived every day the way he wanted to. No one has anything better than that, no matter what world they're in.

History is littered with the the nameless corpses of those who thought they had an enduring legacy.

[fierybluebird]

Maybe they should have striven for several dozen thousand children to carry that future on instead.

[grandlineswag]

I suppose history will prove which of us is right on this.

[fierybluebird]

You mean it hasn't already?

You really are living in the past. [This is all bullshit. Mr. First day as a Captain here. Right.]

[grandlineswag]

Chirp as brazenly as you like, little bird. You may find your song cut short.

[fierybluebird]

Come and try it then. We can take bets, and I could use the easy money.

Would you like a peg leg to go along with your hook, or would you prefer an eyepatch instead?

[grandlineswag]

Humor. Always an amusing defense.

I'm sure we'll be seeing each other at some point, Marco. Good day.

[fierybluebird]

Believe me, if I have my say, there won't be a lot of seeing for you to do.

Ta.
