[ 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. ]

[ All the weird responses so far this is by far the weirdest. ]

[ Marco is obviously nonplussed when he responds, but he tries to keep most of the bafflement out of his voice. ]

...Luffy. What year is it where you're from?

[ Does this very strange stranger not even know that her brother - sister? - was executed? Did it not happen in her world? What the hell is going on? ]

[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.]
