That was how it worked for Pops, but I've gotta be a bit different. I'm not that much of a veteran, yet.

[Not enough that he could coast and his crew's influence would do the work. Ace had too much left to prove before he could let them handle everything.]

Still. Did Pops ever get involved in recruitment?

[Aside from beating up rookies, himself.]

[thatched]

He recruited you, didn't he? What do you think the whole letting you get exhausted and then kidnapping you thing was about. Wasn't just because you were pretty.

[he grinned and pinched Ace's cheek before leaning back]

Aye... different. And I don't... think you'll ever be Pops. I don't think anyone ever could. [much as it pained him to say it] He saw potential in people that they didn't even know they had.

You've got something, too, Ace... [Even Pops wouldn't have lived forever. Ace would have been their Captain. Their Pirate King. Would have ruled the world if not for that asshole Marshall.]

[hiken]

Yeah, but it'd be better if I were smarter like Pops or Marco. [His one weakness, he thought. Ace worried from time to time that his judgement was bad because he just didn't have the brains to read things properly.]

[thatched]

Really? Being smart doesn't always make a better captain. I know a certain captain whose rumored to be dumber than a sack of rubber potatoes and look how far he's come, eh?

[and thank everything that Ace wasn't anything like that]

You'll find your stride out here on the sea. Don't worry. Until then we just have to adjust expectations.

[his own included. Damn him for being an old man. Didn't he used to be young and vibrant and ready for change?]

[hiken]

[Ace propped one hand against his cheek and whistled at Thatch, giving him a dull look.]

Not as a captain. I gotta be smarter, no matter what. As a man.

[He reached over and thumped his hand on the table.]

It's more than that, you know?

[thatched]

[he didn't think Ace needed to change at all. But if that's what he wants, Thatch will help him out]

What do you want to do about it? And what kind of smarts do you mean?
