♕ deux; [video (French)/text (translated)]
I am quite bored here, with so little to do. Perhaps, should anyone in Spero desire friendly company, I could be of service? Nothing with the strings attached, as they say; perhaps a talk on the roof of a building in the starlight or a meeting over lunch or dinner.
--Despite how terrible the food is here, anyway. It is just a little better than starvation... [Something in his tone says he's not sure how sincere that statement is.]
Oh! Speaking of disgusting food, I have a story to tell you. It features a then small nation by the name of Angleterre. You would know him as Arthur Kirkland! Or that irritable Englishman with the caterpillars above his eyes.
Anyway, this little one was uncouth, unwashed and uncultured. Such a small angry thing! But he secretly desired that he could be as cultured as... me! It took months, but he grew out his mangy hair.
It looked something like here.
[Not an IC cut. He's holding up a wad of fur. Don't ask him where he got it.] It looked like that, except it obscured his features and he looked wild!
I came to visit him and in my graciousness, returned his hair to the way it suits him; the way it is today! He could have chosen something much better, I assure you my sense of style is not limited to that kind of mop. But it is the one he wanted, and he has kept it ever since!
[Like the jerk he is, he repeats this ENTIRE MESSAGE in TEXT so everyone can read it.]

[Take into account the Thatch reminiscences and this makes him nervous.]

The world fell into darkness. Things were forgotten for centuries; mankind regressed into, ah, what they had been over a thousand years before. There was war, attempts to reclaim what had been lost.
An entire population becomes illiterate and destitute, and plagues and disease sweep the continent. If that is not dark...

[Simple two words but Marco's completely gone into darkness himself. So it's not just for his own family and his father's legacy he's fighting for...]
B-Belgium once said my Pops reminded her a lot of Rome. It's unsettling to think his territories are about to suffer that same fight... perhaps even more literally.
no subject
Tell me about your father and his territories, mon ami, but only if you wish to speak on these.
no subject
Pops was a really famous pirate emperor, the strongest, the only man to tie with the Pirate King. So he used that reputation to protect islands. Foodvalten, Fishman Island -- we took them over, under our protection, because he said if anyone wanted to try to enslave fishmen or mermaids, then they had to go through him first. And that put a stop to a lot of it, because even the most hardy of idiots would think twice before incurring our wrath, eh?
There was a war though. An ex-nakama betrayed us. He ah... [Glances away.] Blackbeard, Marshall D. Teach, he murdered Thatch for the power of a darkness devil fruit. And during the war he killed Pops and took his devil fruit too, so now he can cause earthquakes on top of the darkness. Teach wants to be the next pirate king, so it'll be a mess. Not to mention all the other pirates in the world who hate us and will try to take control.
this is not late whatsoever. 8|a;
Oui, that-- That does seem reminiscent of Rome. I think, however, applying one world's history may not work considering the differences.
It is difficult to say, knowing so little. But we survived because we did not lose hope, and that is what is important, non?
/was in Maine so nope XD not at all
Aye. My family will fight on. It's what Pops and Thatch would want, and I'm not about to disappoint them.
Besides, Ace's little brother... he made sure to protect him, and all through the fight, Luffy was my first priority. I want to stick around long enough to see whether he makes it to Pirate King.

[BUT PLEASE. Marco face the truth and admit it to the world instead of lie and cover for his friends? NEVER.]

It is better not to ask with a specific example. We are so diverse, and our histories long and detailed.

Make no mistake, I'll protect Japan against anyone or anything. Brother, ally, or nakama.
