Admiral Norrington,

Is Monkey your son? Does he wear a straw hat too?

Dear Keimi,

Monkey is no relation, sadly, although it has been said we bear a great resemblance to one another.

Admiral Norrington,

That's too bad. But why should we stay away from the bridge?

Dearest Keimi,

You must stay away from the bridge if you are a beautiful and winsome young lass because said bridge is inhabited by a horrible scary monkey what might frighten you, is all.

Hugs and Kisses,

Dearest Beautiful Keimi--

Does that happen to be Luffy that you are writing about? The one who fancies himself a "pirate"?

Admiral Norry,

Yes, sir. Luffy is my friend, and is an amazing pirate.

Dear Keimi:

Define "amazing."

Also? Define "pirate."

Yours,

Admiral Norry,

"Amazing" means that they're really really good at what they do.

"Pirate" is someone against the World Government. A criminal.

Keimi:

Do they pillage? plunder? Rifle and loot? Kidnap and ravage? Extort and pilfer, filch and sack? Maraud and embezzle and highjack? Kindle and char and inflame and ignite?

Or is it more that they're revolutionaries?

Admiral Norrington,

More of the second one. Only the bad ones do the first.

But pirates are all bad, my dear, by definition. That is why I hang them.

Admiral,

I disagree. There are some pirates that use their power to protect people. Often better than the government.

That makes 'em protectors, now, doesn't it. Not pirates.

If only the government would see them that way.

You certainly defend these pirates with a will. Are you ONE of them?
