[ squints?? ]

What does that mean exactly?

[probe]

It means that you do not need to be the last man standing.

[nodo]

[ hmm. okay. didn't think that had to be the case but also nice to know.

did not stop him for doing A Thing(???) though. ]

Then there's a threshold—an ambiguous or unknown threshold for us that needs to met, right?

[probe]

Mm. Presumably.

This may change. I am working on outdated knowledge.

[nodo]

How outdated are we talking about?

[ he wants to let you go pride!!! but....he can't leave when you say things like this...... ]

[probe]

[a shrug. sorry they are so unhelpful :(]

[nodo]

[ it's fine. he doesn't resent you pride. ]

Well, I'm sure we'll hear an update sooner or later about any new changes.

[probe]

If something changes, you will likely hear about it immediately.

[at the very least, they can give him that.]

[nodo]

[ he'll give a nod. unlike others(?) law can be patient for information to make itself known. there's nothing to rush as far as he's aware of. ]

I can work with that. Shall I let you go then? I'm sure you'd like me out of your hair.

[probe]

[a pause.]

... Mm. If you want.

[nodo]

[ hmmm. ]

I thought you'd be more eager to see me go.

[probe]

[don't look at them.]

I don't care what you do. Do what you want.

[nodo]

[ I HATE THIS.

THEY CAN'T BOTH BE TSUNDERE?!?!?? but thanks weekly effect— ]

I got time if you want to keep talking about things.

[probe]

[STOP DON'T PERCIEVE THE TSUNDERE

they seem... uncomfortable? or maybe unsure.]

I don't - [they start. stop. then:] I don't have anything to talk about.

[nodo]

[ a tsundere knows their own kind........

hmm. ]

There are basics aren't, right? I can't ask your name and I'm not sure how much you know about me.

[ lightbulb moment. ]

How about you ask me things about myself—get me talking about myself nonstop. That'll fulfill my pride indulgence, won't it?

[probe]

[ oh n ]

... Mm. [they are silent for a good like, fifteen seconds, and then:] Where are you from?

[nodo]

[ and because they're an avatar, they'll get real answers from law instead of him skirting the details. ]

Flevance. It's a country that no longer exists in my world; the world government thought it would be best to eliminate everyone in order to cover-up the fact that they allowed an outbreak of a disease to spiral out of control for their greed. Anyone who tried to escape was killed.

However, when it was still populated it was a country to behold. It'd be hard to compare anything else to it. Everything was a snow, pure white. From the trees to the grass... People who came to visit couldn't believe what they saw and eventually it was known as the "White City".

[ sorry for the downer but that's literally everything that's about his background because he's an one piece, also he says it casually. ]

I'm the sole survivor of my country.

[probe]

[they seem pretty interested, at least.]

... Sounds like a nice place to have lived. [they say, tilting their head.] The district I called home was burnt to the ground. Wasn't as much of a sight as yours, I suppose. But still.

Is that your desire? To bring it back.

[nodo]

Does the place where you lived have a name?

[ burned down... ]

But, no, there's no point in bringing it back. If I brought it back the same thing would happen again—besides, the world doesn't see people from that country as humans anymore.

[ haha. and here comes the truest version of this spoken in a both murderous but even tone. ]

My desire is to kill a man who should have died years ago—to finish what someone who was too kind to do themselves. [ ... ] Though, I thought our desires were things you knew about?

[probe]

They are. I wanted to hear what you'd say.

[they were curious if he was going to try and lie or not.]

It had a name, yes. I don't want you spreading it around, however.

[nodo]

And what would have happened if I lied to you?

[ because he's quite curious about this now. ]

Also you don't have to worry about me spreading it around. I'm not one to gossip about the idle doings of others.

[probe]

Nothing. I'd just have a clearer picture.

[...] The name of the place I called home was Medford.

[nodo]

[ hmm. ]

Medford, is it? Okay.

[ how much is he allowed to perceive.... well, he won't push his luck just yet. it's supposed to be all about him for the moment. ]

I've never heard of a place by that name but obviously we're from different worlds. Do you have another question for me? I've been plenty of places as a pirate.

[probe]

[they fold their arms across their chest.]

Just talk about whatever comes to mind. Don't be polite.

[nodo]

[ he'll raise a hand in the air. wowie look at him with manners, amazing.

though the funny part of all of this is that law is actually miserable about monologuing. he doesn't actually like talking about himself or—hm. ]

As a pirate you get to go wherever you want; do what you want without worrying what someone might do to try to hold you back. It's liberating and something that nearly everyone in world wants to do. Find the "One Piece"—something that no one really knows if it exists or not.

I'm interested in it, but there are things that are more interesting to me than treasure. I want to know more about the secrets that surround certain bloodlines. [ ... ] Whether I do win the wish or not, I'm not going to give up on what I desired. I'm going to make sure that man dies even if it costs me my life. So, if I return empty-handed then I haven't lost anything.
