[So sometime after this Luffy is going to go find his journal and camp out on a branch up in a tree for a bit so he can make an entry. The feed will be a little obscure until he’s actually able to flip the journal around the correct way.]

There we go. Oi, guys! It’s me, I’m back again! And I had the strangest time back home too. I had to fight this weird clown guy and-- ahh, I’ll tell you later! Anyway, did I miss anything? I haven’t been gone for years or something right? [And he let’s out a chuckle.] I can’t imagine how awkward that’d be...

[…]

Oh, yeah! So I need some major help with something. How do you enter into school? I want to learn this really cool thing, but I’m gonna need school to do it. I only need to know math and science though. I don’t need all that other stuff, so do I just talk to Raine, or can I walk in one day?

[And with that, he'll close the journal and wait for replies! If anyone needs him, he's going to be at the dressing room for a while so he can get his clothes back! And after that point he's going to walk back to the Strawhat house, so feel free to catch him at any point!]

It means that we can't sit still, Luffy. It's very good, because it keeps us on the move~

[It amuses him, truly, to have to explain these little details to the young pirate. He was so energetic, yet he missed things that felt like second nature to Lupin.

His voice turned a touch sly when he continued.]

There's no rule that says you can't do both. Nothing is stopping you.

Perhaps you may even surprise yourself.

[Dude, bro, too soon. He's only gotten you back after disappearing for a month, finally looking like your real self after a looooong time of being a girl and YOU DO THIS?! ;;

So he's latching on you again, looking upset.] No way! Are they still messing with you?! What else's wrong? Did they make you forget anything else? [And then, he's got a horrible thought. What if--] Hey, you still remember we're brothers, right?!!

She's from your world? That's great! But you just called her by the wrong name, Luffy.

Isn't it? Don't you need that to write down the prices for all the things you steal and to write letters to all your pirate friends?

[She rolls her eyes.]

You really don't know how to give up, huh? [A sigh.] It's impossible to channel chakra if you're not a ninja in the first place. [She knows this as a medic.]

EEEEEEEEH?

B- but why? I thought it was usually the other way around... you forget people after it's been a longer time, not a shorter time.

Eh? And what's that?

[Pffft--Luffy, don't make her laugh when she's climbing, damn it all, she'll fall! ...Or at least wobble on the branch she's balancing on. But with a few more swings and calculated hops, she makes it up to where Luffy is and just hugs him tight.]

Don't give Nami a reason to yell at you! ...In fact, I could do the same for when you left us. [She grins, pulling on one of his cheeks.] Did you do anything exciting? You've never told me about your travels, actually.

[OR DID SHE.]

[...yeah, she did. For now.]

I can't believe you're back! [Though as she says it, she finds the words almost ring hollow. She's not even all that surprised to see him back. It just seemed right, that as long as his nakama were still here, Luffy would find a way back to them. She jumps to her feet, closing the distance between them and practically launching herself into a hug.]

[WOW, LUFFY, YOU SUCK.

WHAT KIND OF MAN ARE YOU?]

SHUT UP! Saying such things...that's cruel! I was begging! To say you'd really leave me to drown... [Sniff!] How could you?! You heartless fiend! You're the worst, Straw Hat! You ruined everything, and took away everything of mine, and now you're saying you'd have left me to die?! Even when I was in such a state, and begging for help, a-and so scared... That's so mean! Despicable!

I won't forgive you! Not ever!

Hmm. Perhaps they will. Though I wonder if it will make much of a difference.

[She's teasing at this, though honestly, she wonders. Does gender change personality so much? Also to touch on another thought]

What was happening before you came here?

[.........................................]

Dude. That's really gross.

...

You know, I didn't really kick him in the ass right?

Yeah, I wonder why you didn't actually hit 'em there.

[...]

I used to have those... all the time. Of you, of the crew. [He'll pause for a second as he takes off his hat and looks at it for a minute. He remembers when Ace's Vivre Card was in here.] I don't know how you just get over them, but... they go away a while. At least they did for me.

[He feels a pang of guilt at hearing of Luffy's own nightmares, but a part of him isn't that surprised. He'd had the exact same kind as Luffy. While Luffy's hat is off, Ace pats his brother's head, rubbing it a little.]

... I'm sorry you had to, Luffy. [He wouldn't have chosen to die in front of him like that.] It takes time, but they'll stop. I've barely had any lately.

HAHAHAHAHA!

[Oh, bro. He figured you'd fall for that. He pats him on the head.]

Nah, I'm just joking! It's still meat, just like always!

[Oh god. The laughter he's holding back.]

Well back home you-- hehe-- I guess it doesn't matter. I mean, you've been a girl once before, right?

Yup! Did they tell you about me?

[Otherwise how else would he know and stuff.]

What? Oh, no, that's a nickname. 'Cause she's such a cry baby!

Hnnn. Nope. I don't know about all the money stuff, that's Nami's job. And I've never wrote a letter since I started.

What, are you serious?!

How come ninjas can only do it, that's not fair! What kind of world do you guys live in!? [Everyone should be able to do cool stuff not just ninjas.]

Oh, boy. Well you see, things here are pretty complicated. Sometimes a short time could really be a long time. And sometimes no time, is more time than you think.

And then there's these "timelines" and "different worlds" and-- ahh, these kinda things go to a whole 'nother level, Weakahoshi. I've been here for years so I know a lot but all this is gonna fly right over your head... [Because he's an expert at this kind of stuff.]

Hah, I don't! [Lie.] She just likes to yell at people I think!

Oh yeah, well we went to this island filled with mermaids and mer-people and got to sail under the ocean! There's also this big island where half of it is cold and the other half is hot! It's really cool, you shoulda seen it!

A-ah, wait I'm sorry I didn't mean to--

[...hold the phone.]

... WAIT A MINUTE ARE YOU SERIOUS!?

There's plenty of people who could've saved you, I bet you got at least five offers before we came to get you! You're just trying to make me feel bad!

You're an old man, who lives with them now and can't tell time!

[That's what he's gotten out of it.]
