Can't be tamed! // 4th Wall [Video &/or Action]

[You know normal people when things get them down drink, carouse, carry on, lock themselves in a tower and cry for ten years... Okay well maybe not "normal" but people other than Marco do that. Marco on the other hand, grabs a piece of chalk and makes a hopscotch set out in the middle of the most open non-plant infested piece of pavement he can find. And then of course he shows off, because when you can fly and do backflips like nothing, hopscotch is really easy.]

Oi oi, for the life of me I can't remember if there's a rhyme that goes with this, eh?

[Yes, completely showing off with a few backflips.] Anyway, someone want to come play with me?

[Feel free to mock him, yell at him for showing off, try to push him over... you know whatever.]

Not one? Even Vista has other hobbies than that.

... Does meditation count as a hobby? ... or maybe sleeping?

What can I say? He's really determined to be the greatest swordsman to ever live.

At the expense of having a life?

So it would seem. At least he seems to positively enjoy doing what he does... so I suppose as long as he enjoys what little of a life he has, it's not all for nothing, right?

Aye. No regrets, eh?

I still can't imagine, but no I don't really... train that much. Maybe I should, but in the New World the training was just a fight to survive. You couldn't really train extra.

Indeed! Yohohoho!

Yes... it's one of the many reasons why I will never be a better swordsman than he is. Yohohoho!

Do you want to be?

Not particularly, no. At first I thought I might, when I saw how handily he had defeated my shadow that had been stolen by Geko Moria. But I realized that I really don't need to be the best, or even better than my friends. I just need to be strong enough to protect what is important to me, and otherwise, focus on the things that matter most to me.

That sounds like my philosophy. [Must be because they're old. They should have tea.]

Luffy's one of those things, right?

[That does earn you a genuine smile from the old skeletal bard.]

Yes actually, he is. It may sound rather cliche, but he gave my life meaning again... and I'll never forget that. You may know what I'm talking about yourself.

I know... exactly what you're talking about.

My captain was the same way, and Luffy keeps me going here.

A good captain is like that...

[He's totally not having flashes of York, or how he let his crew die... nope...]

I never did get to know Whitebeard when he was alive... he was still a bit of a rookie when I was in my prime.

So he is.

[BROOOKE ;;]

[And Marco laughs softly.] Man... that was a long time ago for me, eh? The ocean was... actually calmer. Wild... but just wild. Not as fucking crazy with power-hungry psychos running around, eh? Between Vegapunk and Kong.... [Shakes his head.]

My old man would love getting to talk about the old days like this. [Wry grin.] Remember back before Garp was even famous? Feels like forever ago.

Yohohoho! I do remember. The grand Line wasn't so chock full of idiots back then... actually in some respects I guess the percent of idiots hadn't changed. Instead of idiots seeking to simply travel an ocean everyone thought wasn't navigable, you have idiots searching for One Piece. Am I right?

Still, it sure was a lot of fun being one of those idiots. Yohohoho!

Yoho! That does feel like a long time ago. Garp had quite a reputation on him, even when I was fairly young and still leading my nation's surprise attack squad.

[LAUGHS.] Completely right.

I'm not sure if we counted though. We never wanted to sail to the end. Just live on it.

Yeah! Makes you wonder what rookies will be terrorizing the seas in a few more decades, eh?

See, that just makes you almost crazier than we were. Yohohoho!

Hmm... in a few decades eh? I think that all depends upon whether or not someone finds One Piece, and reveals it to the world. If someone does, you may see a comeback of the crazies like you and me. Yohohoho!

Indubitably.

You think so, eh? I hope so. That'd be some sight.
