[Ace and Luffy are sitting together, and Ace has a serious expression on his face. This is kind of important in his opinion, they've got to figure out who their potential allies and enemies are here. Not that being a pirate is a promise of alliances, or Marines a promise of a threat, but it's still good to have a base to go off of. And to Ace and Luffy, piracy is freedom. And the Marines stand for things far worse.]

So this is a roll call. If you're a pirate, let us know. If you're a Marine? Let us know faster.

[Luffy laughs, waving at the camera. He sticks his little finger into his nose, and thinks for a second.]

I haven't seen marines here, or other pirates. Do people here know what a pirate is? [He laughs again.] We're pirates! And brothers!

[Ace's expression softens considerably, and he smiles. He's weak against Luffy's antics, even more so now that they've been separated and reunited.] Yeah, that's right. And we wanna know who else lived a life of piracy back in their home world. Especially if you're from our home world.

I'd say something like 'you get used to it', but it's more like 'you have no choice but to get used to it'. It won't change if we've confused about it or not.

You're right. The only thing we can do is keep going. No matter how messed up it is.

That's how it is.

Tell you what, though- I ever decide to take up a life of piracy, you brothers will be the first people I call.

If that's what you choose to do, we'll get you set up for a life of rebellion and freedom.

Not that there's a lotta need for that here. It's pretty quiet so far.

Freedom and rebellion, huh... I can't say I dislike the sound of that.
