[From the moment he had started to feel strange, Japan had refused to stop for a break. What kind of weapon was this, that each block closer made a noticeable difference in his body? His body?

But that became clear enough when he realized that the dark blur ahead was in fact the "city" they had been heading for all along. He hesitated for just a moment at the first sight, but continued his pace that way, if a tiny bit wobbly.]

. . . It seems we're here. [His voice is rough, but he's not going to stop until they're actually in the city. Or what remained of it.]

You ready for this?

[Marco's a lot more tired than he would ever normally be, but his blue flames are still working and absorbing and healing the damage before it can mount. He might spend the next week in pure phoenix form though. His concern for Japan comes first however.]

...Not quite.

[He keeps staring ahead though, if at the ground a little.]

But I am not sure if I will ever be. ...Ah... You are alright?

[Wraps giant wings around Japan as protectively as he can.]

There's no haki with this. Akainu's magma gave me more troubles. Come on, let's go.

Haki?

[But he moves along, staying close to Marco. It's not until they're actually in the middle of it all that he pulls away, crouching to his knees and placing a hand on the ground.]

Do you suppose there were people living here? Like in that city to the East?

Chi, mantra, ki, it's called lots of different things. A high level master like Gol D. Roger can knock an entire battlefield unconscious with the sheer force of their will. For people like me and the admirals, it's the only way to fight someone like Ace who can be made of fire. It's how Garp was able to knock me out of the sky.

[Worried frown as Japan falls and debates whether to carry him.]

There wouldn't be any point bombing it if there weren't people here.

[That sort of thing... Of course. He made note to ask more about it later. For now, he stared at the debris with an empty face.

Of course he knew that. But still, he hoped...] It could have been a test...

[But he was grasping at straws here. The Scientists had been worried ahead of time, but not that ahead of time. Japan stays on the ground silently. He's like in some deep serious thought over here...]

No.

Whatever war is affecting people here... this is part of it. I still think Discedo was killed by a virus sent by enemies. This whole world...

This is what an island looks like after a Buster Call Bushido. If there were people, they were destroyed, like a volcano.

[Keeps his wings around Japan.]

...It is far worse than a volcano... [He just keeps staring.]

Aye. It's flattened, like a buster call. [Picks Japan up onto his shoulder and starts carrying him.]

Except that the air is poisoned. This isn't a takeover, this is just destruction.

Have you seen enough?

Ah-- [He's surprised by being picked up, but his reaction is kind of sluggish. Eventually he just sighs.]

...Yes. I shouldn't... ah, we should leave.

Don't go through America. However you fight back, it won't save you. Not because I don't think you're built for war, but because... your wars should protect you from this. And the more you try, the worse he'll get. You don't have to run away, just don't go through him. Your path lies another direction. With me, eh?

[Carries out as a human with all blue flames leaving the leveled Accido behind them.]

I believe... it is something that has already been decided.

[He brings a hand to his head.]

America-san said his was a more powerful version...

[Sighs.]

What are you protecting then?

August 7th/8th; action asideglance August 8 2011, 03:04:00 UTC
...Pride.

And your people?
