[ While he's not who appears onscreen, the SmartSnail signature on the phone is Portgas D. Ace. The location behind Marco is carefully chosen to be generic as possible: a wooden plank wall, the outside of some building or the side of some ship or who knows, really. The coded location of the transmission itself is scrambled. ]

Portgas D. Ace is currently alive and under the protection of the Whitebeard Pirates, the Straw Hat Grand Fleet, and certain sections of the Revolutionary Army.

[ Marco's trying for deadpan, really, but the smirk on his face is goddamn shit-eating. ]

As First Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates I am hereby proclaiming his right to live as equal to that of any other man.

Boys. Be on notice.

To the Navy, the World Goverment, and the Yonko Marshall D. Teach: Just you fucking try and touch him.

[ Do what you want 'cause a pirate is free. ]

There's no Donquixote Rosinante in any of the wanted posters I've ever seen. He's not one of their generals. With his stupid playing card theme though there's a distinct absence of a Corazón. Would that be you?

[Text]-Private, secure FOREVER

[silent_king]

In the past I held that title. It was long ago however.

[ Fucking curiouser and curiouser. ]

I don't suppose this is prying if you're king, as his name would be public too. Who's your husband?

[silent_king]

[This rabbit hole is not one anyone wants to fall down.]

His name is Donquixote Trafalgar D. Water Law. [There's no reason to add titles right now. If he wants more information he'll surely ask.]

[raiseyou]

[ ...Well. ]

Our world has someone by that name, though without the "Donquixote." Was instrumental in Doflamingo's defeat, from how I hear it. I didn't think he had much prior connection.

[ He's not totally sure what dots he's connecting here, but he's pretty sure he's drawing new lines between a few. ]

[silent_king]

So I've heard. I've met one version of him here, although my Law didn't have anything to do with Doflamingo's death.

[raiseyou]

[ "My Law" is certainly an interesting way of phrasing that. ]

[ How to be most diplomatic about this. ]

But he was around, it sounds like? How long has your Doffy been gone?

[silent_king]

[It's entire unintentional as anything other than, his sweetheart, his husband, his Law, but in the context of royalty and intrigue it's without a doubt weighted sounding.]

He was, but he was a child when Doflamingo died. Entirely uninvolved. That was over a decade ago.
