[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...

[ 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 ]

[nishishi]

[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.]

[weatherscience]

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!

[nishishi]

[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.]
