No? I mean, if I wanted to do that, I would've gotten out of the ropes earlier. [ he truly could've burned out anytime ] I can get food whenever I want now, but these guys were starving. Better for them to have it than all die.
A kid from the village is the one who taught me how to make these hats as thanks.
The way to reach Wano is treacherous, that's why most people don't come in. They can't really get fish from the ocean nearby. [ anyway don't worry the twist is this: ] ...A while ago, a pirate took over the country. The stuff he's doing is poisoning the land and the water around. That's why there was a famine. He's a tyrant. I was actually in the area to take his head--well, I probably would've gotten killed back then, but he wasn't on the island while I was.
The guy's unhinged. He's kept his son prisoner and making sure he never leaves the island by putting exploding handcuffs on him. If he ever goes too far or tries to take them off, he's dead.
[ that get him later though... ace looks a little guilty and a lot angry as he sighs ]
I haven't yet. I tried to argue with Whitebeard, but he said that guy's got an army with him and I'd just get a lot of the people on the island killed just going at it wildly.
[ by his face it is probably obvious to tell this was not a one off argument ]
[ thank god no one from wano is here to see the desecration... ace just lets it happen and laughs because he wasn't gifting this to anyone before so. this is funny. he now has an idea. ]
That's pretty colorful, kid. Is this your type of thing?

He keeps waiting for the plot twist, but one never comes. A happy ending... wild. ]
What happened to all the fish in the water? It's hard to imagine people on an island going hungry.

What's the point of taking over a country if you're going to kill everybody in it? You'd better have got him later.

If I could go there, I'd pop in and give him a good stab. [ a stab, and a twist, and then a couple more stabs ] It's not like they can kill me.
