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!

[hiken_ace]

[Scrunches his nose, annoyed.] You say that like I wanted to turn into a baby. And I didn't get into any trouble!

[fierybluebird]

You bumped your head a bunch! That's dangerous!

[hiken_ace]

It wasn't a bunch! It was just one time! You overreacted!

[fierybluebird]

Babies have soft skulls! It's not overreacting! You were crying.

[hiken_ace]

I-I was not crying! I was fine!

[fierybluebird]

[Stares at.]

Uh-huh.

[hiken_ace]

[...] Well, I wasn't!

[fierybluebird]

Whatever. I still couldn't leave you alone and possibly hurt.

[hiken_ace]

I wasn't alone! Sanji was there! [Compared to most of the crew, that counts for a lot.]

[fierybluebird]

He was only there later!

[hiken_ace]

No, he wasn't! He was in the kitchen the whole time!

[fierybluebird]

[>> Distracted look. Wow he really had been kind of too focused on Ace. Hm.]

That doesn't count.

[hiken_ace]

How does that not count? He was still keeping an eye on me!

[fierybluebird]

Yeah, well how was I to know that? He's not my nakama.

[hiken_ace]

He's one of Luffy's nakama, he's a nice guy! [...kinda.]

[fierybluebird]

So I've heard, so I've heard. I'm trying to meet him more.

[hiken_ace]

You should, bet you guys would get along.

[fierybluebird]

You think so?

[hiken_ace]

Yeah, don't see why not. Luffy's nakama are pretty easy to get along with.

[fierybluebird]

So I've noticed. I guess he's got a knack for that, eh.

[hiken_ace]

It's his personality. It's hard not to get along with the kid.

[fierybluebird]

I'd certainly say so.

[hiken_ace]

... you probably won't believe this, but Sabo and I tried to kill him when he found our stash of treasure.

[fierybluebird]

What, why?

[hiken_ace]

Well, Sabo and I always wanted to be pirates. So we stole money and stuff to get enough to buy a ship. But Luffy had been following me whenever I left Dadan's place to go meet Sabo and get money and shit. We didn't want anyone to know about our stash because then it'd probably get taken. So when Luffy overheard us and said he wanted to be a pirate, too... well... we tied him to a tree and said we had to kill him. [Isn't he the best big brother.]
