[Sabo would certainly never pull any funny business in relation to Bastien's true form. If he were to find out that he was put up for auction as a child, he'd express how much he detests that practice as a whole. But -- he may not find that out for a long time, if ever.]

Is Ace the first? [He pauses, but quickly adds:] We can't swim because of the Devil Fruit we ate. That's the weakness they all have.

[And it's an annoying one, but one that can be worked around, surely.

Once Bastien enters the shop, Sabo makes sure the door closes on its own and then beams as well, almost mimicking those wide eyes.]

Well, I think you'd look wonderful in a suit. There are many of those over here -- [He dashes over to the far back corner of the shop, where many suit jackets and pants are neatly arranged on hanging racks. They come in many standard colors. Sabo pulls a navy blue jacket down and holds it in front of himself.]

Like this!
