[When the feed first switches on, it's at angle, coming from the ground. A rather angry teenager is shown, kicking pebbles around the empty streets. He looks around at the delapidated buildings around him, and huffs.]

What the hell's up with this stupid place?! I gotta get back to Fishman Island and kick Hordy's ass!

AND MY CREW'S NOT EVEN HERE, WHAT THE HELL'S UP WITH THAT!?!?!??! [In his anger, Luffy punches a nearby wall, leaving large cracks, and eventually crumbles. He pouts angrily before perking up.]

I know! I'll just take a look from one top of the buildings! [He bends forward, putting his arms behind him and grinning widely.]

YOSH!!!! Gomu Gomu no..........ROCKET! [He swings his arm in front of him, reaching for the top of a nearby building. But rather than having his arms shoot toward the roof, they didn't stretch at all, and instead fell flat on his face. He laid still for a few moments before jerking up, even angrier tha before.]

WHAT THE FUCK!?!?!? WHY CAN'T I USE MY GOMU GOMU POWERS!?!?!?!??!

So.....he was at Marineford? When did he get there?

[fierybluebird]

Late. He ended it. Told Blackbeard if he wanted to fight he'd have to fight Shanks' crew too and negotiated with the marines to get.... to get... Ace and my Pops' bodies... for the funeral.

[straw_hat]

......... [He doesn't say anything for a while.]

'M glad. That you guys....got some help since-- [...I couldn't.]

[fierybluebird]

I told you already, didn't I? Your job is to fulfill what Ace wished for you. Not to protect us, we can handle ourselves. Get stronger for your sake and your crew's, we'll do our best too.

[straw_hat]

[Sheesh, all you people tell him the same exact thing, he gets it already.

He smiles.] Right. Still, if you ever need anything, just lemme know.

[fierybluebird]

Come visit and I'll let you know then.

[straw_hat]

'Course I will. Gotta let my crew meet you.

Again.

[fierybluebird]

I'd like that.

[straw_hat]

Think they'd like that, too! We could all have a party!

[But what is a party without Ace or Pops.....]

[fierybluebird]

Heh, we'll see how things are then, but that'd be nice. Got any heavy drinkers in your crew?

[straw_hat]

Zoro and Nami can drink a lot! But Nami can out-drink anyone!

[fierybluebird]

Eh really? I wouldn't have expected that.

[straw_hat]

I think she can go past thirty drinks or something.

[BELIEVABLE RIGHT idk I'm doing this off of memory from Alabasta.]

[fierybluebird]

Seriously?

[straw_hat]

Yeah! She can hold a looooot o alcohol.

[fierybluebird]

Wow. Now I want to see her in a drinking contest against Joz.

[straw_hat]

I dunno who that is, but it would be great!

She'd win, though. [Cause his crew always wins.]

[fierybluebird]

My diamond brother. The big one who threw part of the iceberg and fought Mihawk and Aokiji, eh?

[straw_hat]

Oh, him! He was cool!

[fierybluebird]

Yeah. I really love him, eh?

But he's a big drinker.

[straw_hat]

He seemed like a great guy!

Aren't a lot of people in your crew big drinkers?

[fierybluebird]

He is.

And aye. You'd pretty much have to be with a Pops like ours, eh.

[straw_hat]

I'll have to meet him again!

Your Pops liked to drink a lot? [Hope you don't mind him calling Whitebeard that.]

[fierybluebird]

I'm sure he'd like that.

[Psssh, all their allies called Whitebeard old man and/or Pops so yeah, he doesn't mind.] Yeah, Pops drank tons. He outdrank Shanks like it was nothing, eh. [Actually size for size, Shanks was the crazier one there, but not going into it.]

[straw_hat]

Shishi, good!

[Cool.] --he could outdrink Shanks!?!?! [Amazed? You bet.]
