Hehe, but it was funny.

Are you feeling better?

[selfimmolation]

Yeah, yeah... It's just bad at first since water saps out my strength. I didn't take in that much lake water.

[

drinks more because his mouth tastes like nightmares ]

[squelching]

[ACE, YOUR MOUTH HOLE...]

Really? Why does water sap your strength?

[selfimmolation]

I ate something called a Devil Fruit at home. It gives you a unique power based on the fruit-- but they're called Devil Fruits because it's a deal with the devil. In exchange, the sea hates you. Water saps away all your strength and you can't swim anymore.

[ he says this very casually despite being. a pirate. ]

I was a pretty good swimmer before that!

[iamprettygreat]

Is the power you have here now related to that fruit or is the fire power new?

[Gotta wonder that!]

[selfimmolation]

It's like a lesser version of it. I ate the Flame Flame fruit, so now I'm a flameman. [ that does not make it an explanation just because you say the word flames, ace. ] I am fire, which means I can turn into and control it.

[iamprettygreat]

If you have a lesser version of that fruit's power it'd make sense if you had less sinking than normal. It's pretty unfair that isn't how this works.

[sigrun criticizing zia apparently

me, nick, approves the weakness staying strong]

[selfimmolation]

Yeah, well... There's way worse fruit powers out there and they still can't swim, so mine is still leagues above that even not full power. It's fine.

[squelching]

... It's a little unfair that we can't use our normal abilities in this world but you're still cursed to be a really, really bad swimmer.

[zia did this.]

[selfimmolation]

More like an anchor. [ just. siiiinks. ] It's fine. I wouldn't have tried to swim on my own anyway just in case.

[ ...... sure that makes it fine ..... ]

[squelching]

It'll be bad if someone tries to really drown you, though.

[selfimmolation]

If I thought someone was actually after my life I'd fight back a little more than that.

[ "a little"? ]

[squelching]

That isn't really reassuring...

[selfimmolation]

...I don't usually trip when I fight.

[ just. to explain. he is a good fighter i just personally don't want to write that ]

[iamprettygreat]

[Sigrun pipes up]

Ace did feel like someone used to fighting. I could tell. He'll hold his own in the real deal.

[Something funny is that Sigrun is pretty good at lying. If she's telling the truth right now about being confident Ace is a good fighter, then she's supporting him when his skills get questioned. If she's lying, then she's doing it to help him save face. Who knows what's going on here, it's a mystery for the ages.]

[selfimmolation]

[


he'll still take it ]

[iamprettygreat]

[She tries to supports her crew and anyone she likes, you're welcome, Ace]

[squelching]

[looks at sigrun defending his honor.

laughs like an asshole and pats his head. there, there.]

Sure, sure.

[selfimmolation]

[

>:T at the pat ]

[squelching]

[i regret to inform you that only makes her laugh harder.]

[selfimmolation]

Seriously, this is hurting my pride, here...
