A turtle, huh? [ ace sounds surprisingly calm for someone who has recently found themselves on a giant turtle. it's partially a product of the world he comes from, and partially the fact that he's been here for while by the time he's posting this. also, he's exhausted which helps with the avoiding public freak outs. ] Is it a Sea King, or something else? And does this place always make it feel like you've got Seastone on you?

[ it's not intended as a subtle way of finding out if anyone from his world around, but, hey. if it does that as well, that would be awesome. ]

Ah, I should probably introduce myself, shouldn't I? I'm Portgas D. Ace. It's nice to meet you all. [ a beat. ] So to speak, anyways.

I don't suppose anyone's seen an annoying rubber kid around. Kind of stupid, wears a straw hat, answers to Luffy? Or a giant man with a white mustache named Whitebeard? [ he's crossing his fingers and hoping the answer is no. ]

Of course! Who says a guttersnipe can't be a priestess? [She's quite proud of being the only priestess who knocked on the abbey doors as opposed to being invited to attend.]

We do have a Great River that splits El Hazard down the middle...but it's not so...so much. Are oceans supposed to be this big? [She's only had the turtle to compare to and her experience has been underwhelming.] Alright! Well I hope so, variety being the spice of life...and the worlds being so different and all. It's more exciting when our abilities aren't exactly the same.

Certainly not me. [ he likes her already, if only for that comment. guttersnipe firebugs for the win. ]

In my experience, they are. [ he laughs and shrugs. ] Then again, most of my world is ocean. Outside of the Red Line, everything is made up of islands.

This damn island better not sink...[she doesn't look nervous at all]...the largest body of water I've ever had experience with is a natural spring. I'm not so sure I could swim all the way to the next island...unless push came to shove.

Heh. You'd probably do better than me. I can't swim at all.

[ one has to wonder why people like him ever go out to sea at all, if they can't swim... ]

But why!? In a world that's mostly ocean they have Keep Your Head Above the Water 101 right? [Because that should be one of those mandatory things.]

There's two things that happens to people who eat a Devil's Fruit. One is they gain the power of that fruit. The second is that they forever lose the ability to swim.

[ so it's basically the worst weakness ever for people who work on the water. ]

So it's like a double edge sword then, that sounds like a pretty harsh exchange...but I guess power comes with a price sometimes huh?

Yeah. And most people know going in what eating that fruit will do to them, so it's almost never a surprise that you suddenly can't swim.

[ but there's always a few exceptions too... ]

Well if it's a price you're willing to pay then that takes a lot of character, especially if you're doing it for the right reasons.

[Shayla would be the exception, anything considered food is fair game...a little soy sauce and everything is edible.]

... is there a right reason for doing that?

[ most everyone he knows has eaten them to get a one-up on the competition on the seas. both the pirates and marines alike. ]

Well, I suspect any kind of sacrifice should be something you make because it's what you want. Maybe that's not so noble coming from a priestess, but I think that's a right reason.

[Even if that reason comes with getting a one-up, Shayla's philosophies tend to center around doing what you want to do.]

Heh. I like the way you think.

[ she'd make a good pirate. ]

It's reasonable though right? You can't please anyone unless you can please yourself first...or something...

[Or maybe that's for happiness, but it works in this case.]

Makes sense to me.

[ kind of. sort of. not really. but it sounds like the kind of thing that would make sense to people that aren't him, so he'll go with it. ]
