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. ]

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.]

[flagrate]

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. ]
