[Smoker's not sure how much he believes any of this, it all could be an elaborate plot by one of the pirate emperors on one of their islands further on the Grand Line, though, he very much doubts any of them would be foolhardy enough to kidnap him, and still leave him a pair of seastone cuffs and his jitte. And if it was Kaidou, there's no way X Drake would leave Smoker running free and unhindered. But any of the Emperors usually felt most secure on their own islands, surrounded by their own people, so it could just be arrogance to sell the illusion. Still, whether fake or not, best to play along for now until he could prove otherwise.]

[And the best way to get information? Was to ask as bluntly as Smoker ever did. You'd be amazed at what pirates would give away if you just asked.]

Three things. [He holds up 3 fingers.] One, where can I get an endless supply of good cigars? [And he means good. And endless. He's smoking two at a time, they'll go quickly.] Secondly, what's the nearest bar? And thirdly, what is there for law enforcement or bounty hunting opportunities around here? [Because if he was kidnapped to play toy hunter for someone....]

[Might as well see what or who they wanted him to hunt, really.]

[And the idea that he might just be announcing to all the criminals that he was coming? Yeah, he knows, he prefers it that way.]

[he doesn't really know how strong Smoker is or isn't but if it's a dream anything can happen.

He twitches at the mention of the execution stand but it sounds like a very Luffy thing to do and Ace is glad they didn't set off together because Lu would want to visit it and Ace would want to --

want to something.

Bastard.

He tries not to think about it though because that'll get him really pissed.

He tilts his head]

Dragon the Revolutionary?

Nah you're high.

[Stares at.]

Are you telling me you don't even know that?

I'm telling you it's a dream. [digs finger in ear]

[DOUBLE FACEPALMS.]

[THIS MIGHT BE A DREAM.]

[THAT WAS NOT.]

[WHAT DOES HE DO NOW?]

[HE DOESN'T KNOOOOOW.]

What do you even do here? Other than hunting, fishing, and setting fires I guess.

That. [B|] Not much to do.

That's pathetic, Portgas.

[Fresh pair of cigar light up.] Do you simply no longer care about getting stronger without your father around to coddle you?

Ehh it's a dream. [he could but most people were marshmallows also what's the point?]

And you're content with that?

I shouldn't expect you to be placid just because it's a dream.

So you're telling me to be a pirate?

No.

Fuck no.

Sounds like that's what you're saying.

That is NOT what I'm saying.

It's okay, Smoker. I get it. [head ruffle!]

[Alarmed.]

Don't touch me.

[PIRATE COOTIES AHHH!]

Not even like this? [pokes him in the ribs]

Or this? [tries to flick his hear again]

Why can't you just keep your hands to yourself?

Because it annoys you.

[tickles under chin]

[He's mentally screaming.]

[But he grabs Ace's wrist hard enough to break it. Fire though.]

Don't.

[grins]

You know if you wanted to hold hands, you could have just said so.

[MENTAL SCREAMING INTENSIFIES AND HE ALMOST LETS GO LIKE HE'S BEEN BURNED BUT THAT IS WHAT PORTGAS WANTS SO HE WILL NOT PLAY THAT GAME.]

[>:| >:| >:| >:(]

I really hate you.

[H u h. That has 99% less conviction than it needs to.]

But we make such a cute couple!

[since his hand is free he'll lean in and try to lick Smoker somewhere]

[asldkjasldijaoiytjASLdkj]

[Pirate wins, Smoker just jumps away, even going so far as to pull out his jitte to protect him.]

[Stupid pirates.]

[Hate pirates.]

[Hate pirates SO MUCH.]

[Ace just laughs and puts his hands in his pockets and walks ahead]

Come on, baby justice, lets get you some booze.

I'm not--

I'm older than you are, punk!

[But he does want booze T_T]

[But drinking with a pirate....]

[Booooooo]

[What are his life choices.]

[another laugh]

Sure sure.

[and he'll just keep walking because Smoker's life choices are poor ones but that's why they amuse him]
