on muse's bounty being released

[hiken_ace]

Yep, you heard right, mun. 550 million. Pretty damn impressive, huh? I got quite a reputation back home. [ACE GODDAMN, I LOVE YOU. And he lauuuuughs.]

Glad you like it! It's pretty frickin' great!

Comments

icons for him are kinda hard to find, aren't they?

[hiken_ace]

Yeah, my mun was kinda down about it. But are you really gonna come!?

Aaaah, probably Marco's. He's the first commander, and he's been a pirate longer than me.

Yeah, but at least the anime's at Fishman Island now, so I'll have more to work with!

[sunny_pirate]

My mun thinks so - at this point, he's debating whether to send me or some clown. Not that red-nosed person from Impel Down - this one has green hair and keeps ranting about some kind of bat-man.

[Jinbei chuckles.] Yes, I suppose that would be the case. Still, time spent as a pirate doesn't always determine your bounty - just look at your brother!

I knooooow. I just wish the animation was better.

[hiken_ace]

Ah, my mun knows about him. He sounds weird.

[BEAMING NOW.] I know!!! Two years and he's already at 400 million!

[sunny_pirate]

Yes, he's quite... odd, to say the least. Still, I hope that I am the one chosen - it's been a while since I've seen you, Marco-san, or Law-kun. [He can't say the same about the Straw Hats or Keimi, but it would still be nice to see them, of course.]

It's certainly quite impressive! It must run in the family - it didn't take long for you to make a name for yourself at first, either! [Yeah, he knows they're not blood-related, but that doesn't matter to him.]

[hiken_ace]

You better be! It's just been me and Marco for a long time, we need more of Pops' allies there!

[He just grins his widest.] Heheheh, guess we both just went looking for trouble.

[sunny_pirate]

I'll see if I can convince my mundane to see things your way! And who knows? Perhaps Whitebeard-san will arrive as well!

Ah, and I ran into another one of your brothers as well - Sabo-kun, I think his name was. He was quite young, but rather enthusiastic - how is he doing nowadays?

[hiken_ace]

[Winces a little. Do not. Even get him started on how he's been hopeful of that and shouldn't be.] Hah... yeah... maybe.

[DUDE, ARE YOU JUST. GOING TO RIP OUT HIS HEART LIKE ODA DID FOR ALL OF US. SERIOUSLY. Slapping on a smile now.]

Uh... well, I'm sure he's been doing fine! [As fine as you can be dead, anyway...]

[sunny_pirate]

[To be fair, he couldn't have known. Plus, I figure that Sabo's still alive - a body was never shown, and otherwise, this page would have been pointless.]

That's good. He seemed like such a nice boy when I talked to him - for someone so young, he hardly reacted to my appearance.

[hiken_ace]

[Someone from the village did tell them Sabo was killed. And he was shot at sea, his body most likely sunk or got carried away by a current. I honestly think that page could be anyone. But that's just me.]

He never really judges much on appearance, anyway.

[sunny_pirate]

That's a good attitude to have! It's certainly what Queen Otohime would have wanted to see - Big Brother Tai would too, deep down.

[hiken_ace]

It would've made her really happy, huh? Ah, that was one of your old nakama, right?

[sunny_pirate]

Yes - he was like... Not quite like what Whitebeard-san is like to you, but he was like an older brother to me, and he was my former captain. Unfortunately, he isn't here - I'm sure you would have liked him, though - and the only member of my old crew who is here is a rather detestable example of our kind.

[hiken_ace]

I'd be glad to meet him. Any friend of yours is a friend of mine, Jinbei! He was trying to get peace between humans and fishman, right? Wish I could've helped him.

[sunny_pirate]

Ah, no point in worrying about that - you've done your part already! Just working alongside fishmen is good enough - it shows that our races working together is entirely possible.

[hiken_ace]

Yeah, just look at Namur! He joined Pops' crew, and works alongside with all of us.
