[The first image you'll get to see on this particular video feed is pretty much a scenic view of someone's nostrils. The individual responsible for such a sight is trying his damndest to figure out how the hell this thing works, how you can send messages or even videos on something that's very pointedly NOT shaped like a snail, and how you even know if it was working or not.

Eventually it seems like he's stopped caring, or decided that on sheer force of will alone that it's working. Because the feed pulls back and you can see this very 'good dog' expression on a very simple-looking man. A scar under his eye, and a rather ratty old straw hat perched atop his head.]

The food's really good here! And I wasn't even yelled at when I ate a lot, either, and I like that. [The feast at the festival hadn't been the most fun, but who needed fun when there was food involved.]

An' yanno what? I don't like being away from my crew an' home, but if there's an adventure--Nihihi, then I guess I don't mind stayin'! around! [And then that 'good dog' expression melts, as if exposed to heat very suddenly. A frown on his face.]

But I don't like this uniform! The arms are too long! I don't have any mobility at all, so I ended up tearin' the sleeves outta them, see? [Look at the mess he's made.] Ne... I guess if anyone's got a needle an' thread, I can try to fix them myself...

...Where's Nami...

[ Now that that's out of the way, she focuses on actually looking at Luffy's coat in the video feed, and, ahh-hhhh.... ]

You could have asked for a modified uniform. Sheesh...! Look at the mess you've made of it. [ In the background of the video, the hallways are changing. Ah, there's the canteen, she's almost there! ] And don't be silly, I can't eat if I'm sewing! [ Besides, while the food they make here is decent, Sanji-kun's is so much better. ]

[It's the same sort of deal where it hadn't actually been that long since he'd seen his crew--they were all partying on the Thousand Sunny when he'd ended up here, after all--but it was better to be stuck in a weird place with SOME crew than NONE at all.

Arms fold up behind his head and he gives Nami a bit of a sheepish look as she scolds him for the mess he's made. He can see her moving in the video feed, so he'll stay put. He's just excited to be able to see her, at least.]

Naa, I didn't think about asking for a modified one until I noticed how stiff it is! I can't stretch out at all if I gotta' wear it with arms, you get it!

[He makes such a loud sigh.]

Well, you can eat afterwords.

Whoa, or maybe we can get Sanji to make us some better food. [They're such a spoiled crew.]

[ SIGHS, she can't be mad at him for too long, especially since for once, he is actually making sense -- figures he wouldn't have tried the coat on before it was too late and then not thinking it through... ]

Yes, yes, I get it.

That's a great idea! Sanji-kun would like it, too... he doesn't like the kitchen here, either. [ Ah, there! The dining room, get! She looks around on her tiptoes, before declaring, ] There you are!

[ Cue a few seconds of nothing, and then a squeal as Luffy gets practically tackled, don't mind her hugging the life out of you for a moment, bouncing up and down in her excitement. It is different from knowing he is here, even talking to him with the jewel, than actually seeing him for real, being able to make 110% sure he's there in the flesh. ]

You're really here, Luffy!! Ahh, it's so good to see you...! [ DON'T U WORRY she will get to the coat soon enough... ]

[Leave it to your captain to be logical at the weirdest of times. Nothing can really be predicted like this, can it?

He's grumpy about it, but if it was a choice between being able to fight and having to wear this stupid coat... ripped and messy sleeves were better than tearing them when trying to activate Gear Third or something.

But that didn't really matter anymore, given Nami was here, Nami was--

Right in his face, arms around his head and he's pretty sure all the air is pushed out of those rubber lungs of his. Not that he minds this--quite the opposite. When grabbed, what is there to do but to return the hug with gusto? Arms around his Navigator, giving her a SWING around with a loud, hearty laugh.]

Shishishi. What, didja think I was just some weirdo playin' a trick on you? Of course I'm here! [His teeth click together, and that hissing laugh continues.] Like heck I'd let you, Sanji, and Torao go on an adventure like this without me!!!

[ The Luffy Experience: logic when you least expect it.

She yelps in surprise, but it soon turns into a matching laugh, bright giggles that surely draw the attention of at least half the room -- not that she cares, or notices. Her attention is entirely on her Captain. ]

Of course! You smelled the adventure, didn't you? I wouldn't be surprised if that was why you found that rift! [ Following that innate sense of "something fun is happening somewhere and I need to get on it". ]

I wonder what kind of an adventure we'll have, here...? It'll be fun! [ She grins at him -- she has nothing to worry about, now, not anymore. (Aside from that quiet certainty that before they're even shipped off to another mission... aa-aahh, Luffy will get into plenty of trouble just here in Oska, won't he?) ]

'course I did! I couldn't let you and Sanji go without me, right!? [Maybe falling into the rift had been an accident, but at the same time...]

Iunno, but I hope it's good. Something we can go back to the others with and tell them all about it and make them sore they missed out.]

Mm, of course not!! [ That smile of hers dims somewhat when she thinks of Sanji-kun, back home, of everything that happened... but if Luffy is like Law and Sanji himself and knows nothing of it, she... no, she won't speak of it. It isn't something they should have to worry about, here, and Luffy would only run to Sanji to ask questions that he likely never wanted them to ask-

and though they will eventually find those answers, after they leave Zou (because she knows no matter what their plans, they won't leave Sanji-kun, Luffy would never agree to it), that's for then. ]

Yes, that's right. Ahh, I wonder if we can find some treasure, too...! To bring back home as a souvenir. [ Or, you know. In general. ]

Now, give me that jacket-- I'll mend it, you can tell me about Dressrosa. Torao-kun said Doflamingo is being taken to Impel Down?

[He's DEFINITELY not going to argue with her, handing over the poor damaged coat to his Navigator, moving to sit back down in the spot he'd claimed as his own. The few plates that HAD been in his spot were gone... and that was annoying.]

If there's treasure to be had, we'll make sure you get it all. [After all, it's Nami who dealt with that sort of stuff best, right. At the mention of Doflamingo, though, Luffy's grinning all over again.]

Torao told you? Nihihi, good! We beat him good, that's for sure. A lotta' stuff happened and a lotta' people helped us out--Like Sabo and Rebecca, and there--

[Oh. OH!!!]

The Straw Hats have a fleet now. [Said like he's discussing the fucking weather.]

[ Just like in old times, isn't it... she still remembers fixing up Luffy's hat when it was damaged by Buggy. ]

Mm, I talked to him when I arrived. He didn't seem to want to talk about it a lot... he sounded tired, really. [ Rather than the happy-go-lucky attitude Luffy has -- but then, perhaps that is expected. (And perhaps she's sounding more contemplative simply because she just doesn't know Law all that well, and it seems she missed something of considerable importance to him.) ]

Sabo? Rebecca? -- ah, never mind. [ She gives her head a small shake as she sighs; she'll get the details out of Zoro or Robin eventually! That'll be easier than--

.........................

.........................

.......................................................................... ]

WHAT??? [ THAT IS NOT SOMETHING YOU DROP IN A CASUAL CONVERSATION WITHOUT A PRELUDE, LUFFY, YOU IDIOT!! also that is not how you discuss weather either weather is serious business when will you fucking learn ]

[Which is exactly why he'd been so quick to think about Nami when he needed something fixed. If anyone was the most capable with things like this, it'd be Nami.]

Torao always sounds tired. But I guess he's still healing from getting his arm torn off so I can't blame him. [ Ha ha ha ha. ]

I-- [He's about to start on another thought, of course, when Nami suddenly EXPLODES, whoa. Okay. Maybe he should have expected some sort of wild reaction, but at the same time, how was it not appropriate to drop into casual conversation?

It's Luffy, he takes extreme things to a higher extreme--or he talks about them like they're completely normal. This how it go, man.]

Why're you yelling?! [And he's yelling back. This conversation is going great already.] Some guys from the coliseum decided to make a fleet, it's not a big deal, right? [He didn't even ask for it. And maybe it's a big deal. Kind of.]

His arm--!! [ Okay, okay, never mind, clearly this is just one more drop in the ocean of all the information she does not have about what the hell even happened in Dressrosa, thisisfine.jpg ]

OF COURSE IT'S A BIG DEAL!! Only the Yonkou have their own fleets! [ Well. no. This isn't strictly true, but in her head, it might as well be. ] We already have two big targets painted on our backs, and now a fleet, of all things--

[ Wait. Waaaaaaaaaaaait. ] ... ah. They can fight for us, right? That's the point of having a fleet, to have more people in case there's a big fight! [ Suddenly, she's all smiles again. ] Good job, Luffy!

[Huh. He guesses she has a point, Whitebeard had a fleet, but didn't that Done Krag have one too? God, he can't remember, and he doesn't care to. Maybe she was the only person he needed to make him realise that maybe, just maybe, this was a pretty big deal.

Even if he'd thought literally nothing of it when Bartolomeo and Cavindish swore their crews to him as his 'Grand Fleet'.]

Oh, yeah. They're pretty strong! Chicken-guy is a bit weird but he can use invisible walls and stuff. And then there's Cabbage, too... [You bet your ASS that these aren't their real names.]
