Marco hesitated, about to say that it only meant Ace passed that will onto Luffy, the very reason he had will to live, but as Robin finished, he burst out laughing.
"Aye."
Ace had no sense of logic, or at least, whatever sense he did have, was incredibly skewed and confusing. So what was the right way to look at it? "You know this is why I refused to have anything to do with Roger. Or Shanks." Too annoying. Which meant that Ace was...
Well, first. Ace was Ace. So that meant as dumb as it was to think that as captain his job was to protect them, that was what Ace was going to do, that was who Ace was, as much as Marco. Marco rubbed his chin, and shook his head with a small chuckle. "I told Roxas to tell Ace why he still wants to be in the crew, eh? Whether it's letting Ace protect his dream or not." Still, Marco felt like he was missing some vital key in this.
"Ahhh... meanwhile he still wants me to tell him things, and I don't even know how much. Plus, I don't think he actually wants to know, he just wants me to trust him, which I already do, so I don't want make him upset about shit he can't deal with." Marco waved a hand, "Except then he accidentally brings it up without even knowing it all the damn time. It's infuriating. Like just because he got to go off alone doesn't mean the rest of us did. Of course he's not deliberately obtuse, and I'm the one reacting... It's like we switched roles somewhere and I didn't get the notice, but I want to switch back." Definitely.
