"And Ray didn't name himself that, the rest of the world named him that. Just like how they started calling Roger the Pirate King. Roger didn't actually set out to be the Pirate King, you know? He just wanted to go to end of the Grand Line. They called Rayleigh the Dark King because he was the brains of them. He's a good guy. A friend. He helps us stop slavery, did I say that?" Marco rubbed the back of his neck. "He's the only one who can really handle Shanks because he used to be in charge of him. It'd be like... if I retired and Ace was forty now and more like his little brother and --" no wait, that was too convoluted an analogy. Marco just shook his head. "Point is, the only one who can handle Shanks is Silvers. I have to use haki just to withstand that guy, but Ray could just kick his ass on a whim probably."

And now he misses Silvers. "Man I wonder what he's been up to lately... I haven't seen him in years though. 'Quiet retirement,' hah. He's probably got a dozen more girlfriends... I should ask Shakki... if I get back to my world and actually have the time before everything goes to hell and worse. I could probably use her insight on what to do about Fishman Island at least..." He gets lost in his own thoughts and shakes it off.

"Once someone gets strong or famous enough they start getting known by their title more than as a rookie. Mine's incredibly boring. Jozu's too. Blackbeard is just... Blackbeard, eh?" A small snort. "Pops is Whitebeard instead of Edward Newgate, Aokiji is Aokiji instead of Kuzan, see, even the marines have them. You'd probably get known as Fire-Hair Chandra," he stuck his tongue out.
