Sending a Message
Who: Spades & anyone who hops over
Where: The quickly ruining ashes of what once was a naval base + at sea with the Spades, Luffy, and anyone coming back with Logan and Rogue // AKA: THE SUN, THE MOON, AND THE STARS!
What: Coldly angry Marco lets all the navy men go free and makes sure they have enough supplies to sail with, but makes it clear he's burning the base down into the shape of a spade "to send a message"
Warnings: UH VIOLENCE? JUSTICE LECTURES? At least he's not feeling too bloody and murderous, but maybe that's worse, oops.
Status: Open!
See also this post and remember that Marco's usual reasons for holding in check (ie: Thatch, Nico Robin, Namur, Roxas) are gone or, in Marco's opinion more reasons to cut loose. Feel free to smack him upside the head, he won't retaliate.

We'll just destroy it then. Chandra says she uses other things for her power sources. "Mana," something like that. She said Leanne's island was a well for order mana, so I think it comes from worlds, and lands, and the structures between chemical bonds more than up here. [He taps his own temple.]
But no recklessly dying, eh? I can't stop you from dying entirely, but at least make sure you're really ready.
no subject
[Not that there aren't times she wants to. Moments when her feelings are too much and she hates her powers and despises what she does. But she's not in a hurry to die.
She's simply an acceptable loss if it comes to that.]
I jus'... I need someone t' know. If it comes t' it.
That I can do it. That I will.
no subject
Like I said, I can't stop you, eh?
But I've known a lot of damned martyrs. Loved all of them. Still do, most days. But sometimes I hate them too.
[He looks back at her again with a small frown.] You're too much like Ace. If it came down to it, I've no doubt that you would jump in the line of fire and never think twice. My only job as his first mate here, it seems, is to drag him away from trying to do that again on every single island we run into.
[He waves a hand.] Bad enough that Thatch still does the same thing, damned bastard. The more I think about it, the more I become convinced that the only reason he's caught by slavers at all is because he wanted to sacrifice himself to free the others. [Clenches his jaw.] When you meet them, you'll understand. Not even a phoenix's luck or the Will of the D itself seems to be enough to keep them alive.
Even if loved life, it's still because of the people you want to protect in it, eh? And I don't get nearly a selfish enough vibe from you that have anything to worry about kiddo.

[She believes it.
She wouldn't put herself in the line of fire. Not for most people. Not for the Spades. Not yet. They aren't her family. Now, for Logan? For Scott? For Jean? For Kitty? For Kurt? Yeah. Every time.
But Logan didn't need that from her.
But for billions of people who can't fight for themselves? Just like she'd fight for her fellow Institute kids. For the ones she needs to protect.]
I'm jus' willin' t' do what I have to.
'S what I know. Been told it several times, an' I know it.
We all do what we have to.
no subject
You aren't convincing me, eh.
no subject
[One of Xavier's lessons had gotten through. Acceptable losses. Greater good.]
I'm what I was taught t' be. An X-Man.
Any of my team'd do the same.
no subject
Not so much on the greater good. We're pirates, we're allowed to be selfish. They just convince themselves it is selfish... and they're half right anyway. It's still bothersome, yoi. But like I said, maybe I'm just jealous.
no subject
[She can't help but smile. Because, well, it's just something she can't help but think. Especially all of this.]
I just can' decide who.
no subject
[Then again, he wouldn't be surprised either. Marco makes terrible impressions on people all the time.]
no subject
[But, then, a look at her -- at her face when she says it -- and it's a good bet that list is pretty small.]
But no one I hate.
[Because he's talked like Magneto. Reminded her a lot of him. But not in a bad way. Made her feel like maybe, just maybe, Magneto had the right idea.]
Might've changed my mind 'bout someone, actually.
no subject
To be fair, I wouldn't trust me either.
[Which is OBVIOUSLY reassuring, right?]
no subject
Hey, better than someone sayin' they can be trusted. Those? Y' never know.
no subject
The only times Thatch and Ace say to trust them is when they're about to do something incredibly stupid and dangerous that they know I'm going to have to rescue them from.
