[ 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. ]

[Wow, that was a hell of a lot cooler than expected. Marco's expression was the best. And while a part of him worries that there's already enough trouble made in his name, he can't help but get excited about this. They're not going to take things sitting down, and he's not going to die again. And since it's a lot harder for the people at the top to keep their grasp and control since the shift, this might have ruffled more than a few feathers.

Good. They deserve to be aware of what they've made. What path they put people on.]
Did you really need to use my SmartSnail though? Or was that part of the impact.

Your resolve is admirable, and you can count on my family for support.

You have the full cooperation of the kingdom of Dressrosa that I rule, the Donquixote pirates that I lead will stand behind you, and once I make contact with my husband his crew will undoubtedly aid you as well.

[The stubborn brunette stares back into the video device, puzzled and raising a single finger to their chin to give it a scratch in thought.]

Oi, oi! What sort of trouble has big sis Ace gotten into this time?!
callada: (this is definitely going in my writeup)

[personal profile] callada 2019-03-01 05:25 am (UTC)(link)
Huh. Heard about the battle. Missed the details. Life gets busy.

Rafa, from Micqueot Island. Sorry, new snail's on the fritz, it's probably not showing up. Keeps doing that. These things are weird. Whitebeard Pirates, though, I have heard of you guys - didn't he die? You still sail under his banner?

[Meanwhile, time to add to the notes. Catching up on 13 years of missed news is SO HARD.]
silent_king: (The juniper bends)

Wow that's a comforting icon

[personal profile] silent_king 2019-03-01 05:25 am (UTC)(link)
That's absolutely understandable. My world varies incredibly from what most experience. But Doflamingo is dead, and we do not ally ourselves with those who would seek cruel control. I'm not asking for support or belief. But do know that if the need arises, we can be called upon and my airship fleet will rise for you.

Hey, if it works it works. [He's addicted to those smiles, the more troublesome ones really are the best. But seeing Marco a little sheepish is good too, usually it's Ace who ends up making those faces.] So I guess we're back in business? It's not the same without Pops, but I'm not gonna just sit around forever.
silent_king: (The farmhouse is burning down)

This is true

[personal profile] silent_king 2019-03-01 05:35 am (UTC)(link)
I know. When my brother died his ambitions died with him. We've worked hard in Dressrosa to pick up the pieces, and recover.

My name is Rosinante. I have the time to spare.

[So the old man killed two birds with one stone. Clever.

...Noooot that he's going to type out anything to that effect here.]

I see. Just don't come terrorizing us, okay? We didn't do anything. We've had enough trouble with pirates lately.

Told you, got enough going on here trying to keep this place together on a good day, and now there's people jumping in and out from other worlds. It's a nightmare.

Why, what should I know about your fleet? You special or something?

[personal profile] callada 2019-03-01 05:51 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, yeah. I've heard of the guy, but if he's not around anymore it doesn't mean the rest of you are all gonna keep up his ways. What are you now, Marco?
burnt_offering: (/Blaring Pitbull's Fireball no shame)

[personal profile] burnt_offering 2019-03-01 05:53 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, we'll pull together to be one hell of a force. We can't be like we were before, but we'll be amazing in a different way.

[He really shouldn't be so excited over something that's not a promise, but his eyes widen and he's thrilled, why didn't this occur to him?] Shit. It could happen. I'll keep a look out, listen in case there's news of him.
callada: (recuerdos de su condición)

[personal profile] callada 2019-03-01 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
[Sounds like a cult if you ask him. Hm. Bad.]

Heh, sorry. He was one of the four emperors, right? I heard about that. Other than start a big war with the Marines, and fight other pirates who wanted that emperor title, what did he do that you can all still follow if he's not there to lead you? Are you an emperor now?
callada: (beware the silent observer)

[personal profile] callada 2019-03-01 06:09 am (UTC)(link)
[Is the guy really that dense? Man, he legitimately feels bad for the islanders out there if this is how the commander of a big-name crew like this acts toward Rafa the poor vineyard worker.]

I'm worried. Worried about my family, about my friends. Every time some big name pirate shows up, we get robbed, our town gets trashed, people die. You're making some big declaration on the network and it's gonna get people thinking they should take you on, but you're telling me that because you're Whitebeards it's somehow different. How is it different? Or are you all really that blind to the kinds of things the rest of us go through at the expense of you pirates out there?
silent_king: (That's a fine looking high horse)

[personal profile] silent_king 2019-03-01 06:11 am (UTC)(link)
[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.]
burnt_offering: (Just look at this little shit)

[personal profile] burnt_offering 2019-03-01 06:18 am (UTC)(link)
That's... Wow. More than one of any of us is trouble that they don't wanna deal with. [That really has Ace's attention, and his mind is cranking. He's going to do so much research, track down everyone he can. They've got to be prepared for anything at this point, but if they're all together, then they're going to be all but unstoppable.

And that brings that brightness back up further, that warmth and determination.]
If there's anyone here? We'll find them.
callada: (se siente bien estar aquí)

[personal profile] callada 2019-03-01 06:30 am (UTC)(link)
Protection? What, all the way out here? I'll think about it. I'll talk to the governor, see what he says.

That's a big reach from the Grand Line, though. You think you can really do that?
burnt_offering: (This is my second favorite so cute)

[personal profile] burnt_offering 2019-03-01 06:36 am (UTC)(link)
[Ace flushes at the kiss and smiles, he thrives on attention and acknowledgement, and everything Marco gives him is eaten up and used to push himself further.] Yeah? Well, you can't do everything by yourself. No one can. [He had one hell of a lesson on going out on his own, doing things on his own, and he's going to be careful and precise this time around with his actions.

Or just more careful, honestly. He's still an impulsive 20 year old.]
callada: (this is definitely going in my writeup)

[personal profile] callada 2019-03-01 06:40 am (UTC)(link)
Hold off on that until I ask, don't just assume we want it. Not my decision to make.

They're gonna want to know why, anyway. It's a hard sell, pirates without their former leader. Too often a hole in the command like that makes trouble, I've seen it before. You sound like you mean well, so I'm willing to give you the benefit of the doubt, but what do I tell them? Nobody's out to protect entire islands out of the goodness of their hearts. What do you want from places under your protection?
silent_king: (She tells me worship in the bedroom)

[personal profile] silent_king 2019-03-01 06:42 am (UTC)(link)
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.
callada: (dress best in boldly-striped sweaters)

[personal profile] callada 2019-03-01 06:57 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks. Sounds reasonable. If he's interested he'll contact you directly.
burnt_offering: (Fucking freaky)

[personal profile] burnt_offering 2019-03-01 01:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[He's not going to claim to be older and wiser now, but he's at least got the sense to know how thoroughly crushed he was. How he hurt people with that choice, and he can't handle the idea of harming his family again. And having this new relationship with Marco is a further stabilizing force, keeping him from wanting to be as careless.

He perks up further at Marco's words, and he thinks that he'd like to live his second life in ways that Pops would really be proud of. He wants to do better, as a pirate, as a brother, as a friend. And he thinks he can manage it all this time around.]
Well, I've gotta lot to do. I fucked up, we all know this. But I can be better this time. [His quiet expression, which was one of self reflection, is lost to another cocky teasing face.] Hey, at least we know that lessons can literally be beaten into me. That's something that was debated in the past.
silent_king: (My church offers no absolutes)

[personal profile] silent_king 2019-03-01 01:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[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.

[The girl paused for a few moments, blinking into the video feed as if their mind were finally lubricating the gears which helped to turn thoughts.]

What year is it? Well, it'd be the same year it is now, right? I mean, my town should be in the same year as this.

[Looks like the gears didn't get up to full speed, however.]
