[Wow. No, he certainly didn't do any of that. Talk about a violent exit strategy. But it's also good to know for interacting with this version of him, because he personally still has a lot of sympathy toward the Marines. No, they're not perfect. They've done some awful things in the name of helping the people that he's not so sure were right to justify. But the fact remains that their mission of peace and stability, of helping those in need, matches well with his own personal goals. Besides, everyone has done awful things they regret. Himself included.

While his own grin isn't quite as radiant as the other's, he does offer a smile in return. Yeah, he's had to make awful situations into light ones to get by. Once he told Law one of those white patches looked like a sheep, as if he was watching clouds. What? Have to laugh sometimes, or what good is life at all?]

You've convinced me. I'll have to find someone who knows how to reach him now, which could be hard. I heard he's retired, so the number I have won't work. But I'll figure it out.

[Neat, here's another tangled mass of fishing gear, too. This one has lost the hook, but there's a wooden bobber on it which is a helpful little find.]

Let me know if you see a hook. Or a dark-colored shell.
