At least there's no elevator music...

[At least two weeks have passed since the Drift Fleet passengers woke up on this strange wing of the Marsiva... Some new passengers have even joined the group instead of being Shuffled off to a fleet ship! The large monitor in the central room remains quiet for now, so how is everyone holding up?

Have you been relaxing? Enjoying the Earth media? If you can even remember them, how have Calibrations been treating you? Has anyone started getting a little stir-crazy?

Don't worry... This ship has no shortage of mysteries, and you'll be seeing a few more soon.]

[rubbernecking]

Yeah--

[ Oh.

He brings up his palm to smack the heel of it against his forehead, mouth forming that sound without actually saying it, realizing: ]

You didn't meet Sabo!

[mikangirl]

No, I didn't. [She nearly asks who's Sabo? but from context she can already guess his response. Nami smiles a little. Baffled, sure, but even if she doesn't know the whys and whats and hows, she thinks this is a good thing for Luffy.]

You never mentioned him before. What's he like?

[rubbernecking]

There really wasn't a point, before. [ Then again, Luffy was unintentionally tight-lipped about a lot of other stuff, it took how long for the crew to find out he had a brother at all? But there's a reason he didn't mention Sabo when explaining Ace and his relationship: ] For a long time, I thought he was dead.

[ And he abruptly smiles, bright and huge and warm. ]

But he was okay! He forgot all about everything, and it turned out he'd become a big-shot with those Revolutionary Army guys!

What're the chances, huh? [ Swinging his arms over his head, he clasps his hands behind it, under his hat. ] He's become real strong, and ate Ace's fruit, too! Keeps busy a lot, I hope he's doing okay.

[mikangirl]

[So by definition, then, he won the contest on Dressrosa. And that's how they met. Which... doesn't surprise her, even given you were meant to be doing something else. Oy. Still, she can't help grinning in response to that huge smile.]

I'm glad. I hope I get a chance to meet him one day.
