'haruta, i love you, but i have no idea what you're talking about,' whitebeard rumbled.
'treat me like a news coo then.'
'you deliver news?'
haruta breathed in deeply, they had been explaining to pops what to call them for an hour now. he didn't seem to understand, no matter how many marineford sized examples they gave the man.
ace napped on deck, well he was trying to nap. the sound of the 12th commanders frustration was audible even below deck.
he would help his new sibling, once it seemed that haruta was not on the verge of jumping in the ocean. hopefully marco would catch them before namur was able to, the fishman would not let anyone hear the end of it if he had to keep pulling people out.
'pops, what do we say about marco, when he's a phoenix,' ace called out.
'that he needs more rest?'
ace waved him off, 'the other thing, you know how we say that, they're over there or i saw them by so and so.'
whitebeard nodded, 'i see, what is your point son?'
'thats what haruta's trying to tell you, refer to them as you would our phoenix.'
haruta sent a grateful look to their youngest brother, they'd be sure to get him a special gift from back home.
'i understand now. haruta is a bird,' whitebeard smiled.
a large thunk was heard as haruta face planted, 'close enough, pops.'
