Sending a Message

[fierybluebird]

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.

How is Ace gonna see it here? [he rests his chin on the lip of the crow's nest] I can't be Pirate King here. I don't wanna be. I want him to come back. [clenches his toes a little]

Pops wanted to see how you'd do from a short glimpse.

Ace isn't so different from the old man, eh. So long as he sees you staying strong and happy, he'll know you're unbeatable.

Unbeatable... [he wonders about that sometimes. He wants to say he won't lose again and he's going to fight his hardest wherever he is but--] Is there anyone like that?

Depends on how you look at it.

Pops was.

Do you know one of the things Roger said at his funeral?

"Someday a man will come along with indomitable will. So long as these things exist, so long as mankind longs for freedom, One Piece will be found."

You were pretty out of it I think, when Pops fell, but he said the same thing. He said One Piece is real, Blackbeard isn't the man Roger's waiting for, and that the World Government is just terrified of the changes finding One Piece will bring when it is found by the person carrying all that will.

You gave Ace the will to live and make it as far as he did. Now he just needs to see you'll make it the rest of the way.

Maybe it's not people that are unbeatable, but the convictions that send them to sea in the first place. Because it's like a crew. Even if one man falls, there's another one to take his place, and keep carrying the dream forward.
