Okay, so, we're all from different places! Which is pretty cool and all if you think about it objectively and ignore the fact we're horribly stuck on a floating island with a tendency to plummet into the ungodly seas and leave us potentially scrabbling at the shore while the icy depths pull us down aaaaaaaaaaa

where was I er

What this means is that everyone's seen and experienced different stuff! For all I know, your home world might be a technological marvel that puts even me to shame! For all you know, my home world might be covered in bees. But we don't know because we all just potter through classes. Show off a little! What's the coolest, neatest story you've got? There's bragging rights in it and a little reminder of home never hurt anyone.

That sounds way more advanced than my world then. The only flying gardens we have are on sky islands.

[vocaloidiot]

When I come to explain it, though, it's pretty hard. Aah... well, the best we've done is play to massive crowds! Right on top of said skyscrapers, massive light shows backing us up. Ah, man, talk about your hey-days...

[fierybluebird]

Sounds exciting. The most I can talk about about battles really. And they were pretty boring.

[vocaloidiot]

Battles can be plenty exciting, as long as they're appropriately derring-do!

[fierybluebird]

Nah they were generally boring. A few times against Roger's crew, eh, but that stupid Shanks kept trying to pick me up.

[He means try to make him join his crew. Although fandom would argue otherwise.]

[vocaloidiot]

What? No buckling of swashes? Clambering over the rigging? Stuff like that?

[fierybluebird]

Well there was that too. I never clambered though. Not worth the mess with ropes. [And he could fly.]

[vocaloidiot]

... don't you kind of need to, for a ship? I never really got the hang of that.

[fierybluebird]

I was in a crew of 1600. My division alone had 100 punks. They got to do all the sailing and rigging.

[vocaloidiot]

--wait, isn't that one hell of a huge boat?!

[fierybluebird]

Well it was divided, but yeah, the Moby Dick is pretty damn big. But that's because Pops and Jozu, and Atomos are so much larger than life. Especially if we got visitors like Oars Jr.

[vocaloidiot]

I'm getting a little lost to names, here...

[fierybluebird]

Pops is our captain. Whitebeard. He's about... hm... five times taller than me?

Jozu is the third division commander, and Atomos is the thirteenth division commander and they're both about just barely shorter than Pops.

Oars Jr. is about four hundred feet tall. He's a giant even to giants.

[vocaloidiot]

--what

that doesn't

You can't have someone that size!

[fierybluebird]

In my world you can. What's to stop them? Hell, even that bastard son of a bitch Teach is about twelve feet.

[vocaloidiot]

--doesn't general anatomical law answer your first question?!

[fierybluebird]

All your friends are robots, eh.

And trust me. My friends being ridiculously tall isn't close to the strangest thing about my world.

[vocaloidiot]

Hmm... now that I think on it a bit, that could be pretty fun...

[fierybluebird]

It is actually.
