Well, I don't want to cause too much trouble. I do have an important job and all -- well, actually, I have another job to add to the pile. [He rests a gloved hand atop Ace's head.] Have to keep an eye on you!
But I'll be happy to train with you sometime. No one could train me to wield the Fruit better than you, after all!
[His cheeks actually flush a little and he moves his hand off of Ace's head, placing it in front of his lap instead. Sighing, he responds:]
Oh, it's not that high. Nothing impressive, really. [He just doesn't want to say it.] I only got it for being in Dressrosa and causing some trouble there. Not a big deal.
[He thinks he picks up on Ace's energy levels, if just a little.]
How are you holding up? Do you need to rest? Or do you need something to eat?
