In times of darkness and chaos, Dressrosa's doors open for all of the lost and weary. If you are in need of medical care, food, protection or rescue, you need just ask. And one of our airships will come for you.

All are welcome. All are valuable.

It's hard for me to picture him as anything but a little boy, even though I know he isn't anymore. If you two are happy together then that's what counts.

I understand.

You had other questions, though? I had one too. [More than one, but he's a patient enough man.]

Go ahead. It's only fair after everything I asked.

My muteness becomes a struggle often. How do you manage?

It passed when I was young. Only lasted about a month.

I wrote if I wanted to say something. Mostly I tried not to be noticed.

It never passed for me.

Notes work well enough. But a king is meant to be heard, and paper rarely achieves what I desire. Even if it becomes enchanted.

I'm sorry. It must be an immense challenge in your position.

What do you mean by enchanted?

It's more of a challenge without Law here. He's able to feel what I need, and get the information out. Without him, it's a little more complicated to communicate officially. Especially with the chaos that's going on.

Magic of course. It's not common to use it on something so trivial, but it helps to get the point across.

I hope he turns up soon.

It doesn't seem as though you mean devil fruit. In my world some call that magic, but it isn't really. You have something else?

We have those. But you have Haki, that's what it's called. Right? We have magic instead. It works a little differently, from what I've seen.

We do. Did you come across that in all the news lately or have you run into someone who was able to demonstrate it?

Both, in that order.

It's so different than magic, but it's still very similar. I think magic is more flexible, more malleable .

I've only heard about it in stories, never as something real. What can it do? Can it be learned?

It can! You'll need a tutor, but it's entirely useful.

It can do almost anything, but very few people are talented enough to use it. Much less use it in combination with a Devil Fruit ability set. I use it for everything from adding emotion to my notes, to dressing myself in the morning. Talented people can use it for attacks, defense, and more.

When things are stabilized enough I would be interested in learning more about it. I don't think I can spare the time right now with everything being so chaotic.

I'm jealous though! It sounds pretty cool. Do you have a Devil Fruit also?

When you have time, call for an airship and I'll teach you how to use it! If you're me, you'll be able to pick it up quickly.

I'd have to be more talented for it to be worth the jealousy! [There is a very long wait between this and the next text.] Doffy is here. Did you know that?

I will!

He contacted me when he first saw I had arrived. I haven't determined whether or not he's mine.

I was pretty certain that he wasn't my brother, he was texting. But he confirmed it within the conversation.

One Doflamingo is bad enough. I can't imagine how many others are here. He needs to have an eye kept on him.

Keeping an eye on him is well within my plans. I intend to find a few people to assist first should he come for me directly, though I don't think he would actually be that stupid.

I would hope not. But it doesn't mean we can assume to know his intentions. What he's really like.

He's my brother. I have a fairly accurate assessment. He's not completely unpredictable even if it's a different world's version of him.

The one I know was eventually imprisoned for life thanks to Law's dedication to my wishes. Doflamingo's list of crimes against the world is extensive and I would like to ensure that he and any similar versions are kept locked up so they can't harm anyone else. Can I count on your kingdom for support if it becomes needed?

You're right. My brother's degrading mind made him unpredictable. I shouldn't assume my experiences as any sort of baseline.

Absolutely. Dressrosa stands with you, as do I.
