He leaned until his back was resting against the opposite side of the crow’s-nest, eyelids at half-mast. It seemed the highest point of the ship was the only place he could get a little peace from the hectic role he filled. Thatch called it his ‘perch’, which quickly earned him a palm over the head-always resulting in the Fourth Division Commander frantically making sure not a hair was out of place. With a twinge of reluctance, Marco ran through his mental To-Do list

"Why did you ring the Ox Bell!?"
"I- WHOA!" Luffy sprang to dodge an incoming volley of cannonballs, which tore through some of the scaffolding that had already been built to begin repairing Marine HQ.
A dozen odd cameras flashed in his face, causing Luffy to tumble and shield his eyes. Jimbei dashed in front of him and assumed his kata.
The journalists, however, were feeling reckless and brave, no doubt still riding a Whitebeard War buzz.
"Why sixteen times!" one particularly daring newsman asked, microphone mushi in hand as everybody ran and stumbled in circles.
"An inquiring public wants to know!"
"You'll all figure it out... in due time," said Rayleigh cryptically, which was no help at all in coming up with wild speculations but made a decent headline.
"Monkey D. Luffy, who are you!?"
"I'm!!" Luffy bellowed. "Ace's little brother! AND!!"
When Blueno first started experimenting with his new devil fruit powers, he had assumed they would only be good for spying on Califa in the bath

This is very nice! Please don't flee!

"Flaming" Attachan had made his living off shots of celebrities, but in the figurative storm that swept the world upon the death of Gold Roger, his best models fell out of the public eye. Everyone cared about pirates now, not fashion-conscious nobles; Yonkou this and Shichibukai that and the heavens only knew what else. It was all very confusing, and Attachan was easily confused in the least tumultuous of times. So he enlisted in the Marines

Zoro couldn't help but ask one day.
"Why do you always pack down so many sweets, Chopper? You're a pirate now."
Chopper sighed contentedly by the kitchen door, belly full of cotton candy. "Makes me happy," he said simply. "Besides, a true pirate eats whatever he pleases, without heeding the social mores, proscribed roles and stereotypes of mainstream society!"
Sanji lit up, finished with the day's cooking. "...You've spent a lot of time rationalizing this, haven't you," he laughed. "Don't worry, we all know you're a real pirate now. We're just debating what kind of pirate. At the very least you're not a full-fledged Candy Pirate: Those guys were the most hyper, gibbering idiots we ever fought

...Oh my god I can't even articulate how much I love this. *______* It's so right-I love how his new family is trying to engage and include him, but they just--wow, wrong topic. >___> And I love that Marco picked up on it, and ksdfsjg this is so awesome. ♥♥♥

The evening of Saul's funeral (he could never repay Garp for this) was the first and only time Kuzan had ever indulged in sake to this extreme. Sure, he was known at that point to live what he called 'lazy justice' and that extended to his likes for good wines, beers and other alcoholic beverages. But more than this he was an Vice-Admiral, a Marine and he felt that he needed to restrain himself at least to one glass or cup to be an example to the lower ranks. Besides it was better not to rise discontent and envy among them about the higher ups living the fat life while they had to settle with cheap grog.
It would have been even worse for the morals when a Vice-Admiral mourned for the death of a traitor to the World Government whose corpse only deserved to be thrown into the sea.
Right now he didn't care about morals, and reputations, and justice (what Sakazuki had done was justice?!). Not when he was throwing up at the side of the cliff, adding green stains to the brown on the knees of his trousers

Kuzan finally reached his destination. Awkwardly with his long legs in his inebriated state he kneeled down and laid a hand on the wood, his friend's name written on the horizontal board. Just another act of treason in the eyes of the World Government in the long list he had committed and would have never thought of doing before of Ohara (like a flower bouquett for that very island). Not that it mattered here. Nobody knew of this place here except Garp and him now and Kuzan wanted it that way. It was just a tiny island in the ocean, nothing significant to be found here - except the body it hid from the world. The little, white cross was soon going be the only sign of whom had his last resting place here, after wind and weather and nature would have modelled the cliff's plane as if there never had been any person.
Kuzan let out a weary sigh. Tomorrow he would go back to his duties as Vice-Admiral of the Marines. Following orders, and morals, and the justice he himself had imposed on with. (Acting as if Saul had never existedUntil then

He took another deep breath.
"FUTURE KING OF THE PIRATES!!"
And thus a legend was born.
