[The announcement doesn't come until she's tracked down what's left of her crew and paid a visit to Ace and Sabo to inform them in person. She could wish Sanji and Zoro were here, because she winces at the idea of them finding out on the grapevine before they even return home. But it can't be helped.

Besides, maybe he'll be back before they return. He always has before.

She can hope he isn't.]

[Voice]

For those that knew him, Luffy has gone home. [She sounds perfectly calm, if a little distant.] He didn't leave anything, so... wish him well.

Comments

[Voice] /saves that comment for all time

[mikangirl]

Sorry, Aang.

[...]

He has a habit of coming back, so at this stage I'd give you a fair chance of seeing him again.

[Voice] /good, also remember that AC is a thing

[savedtheworld]

Yeah... He did leave and come back not too long ago, right? I do wish I could see him again and have more fun hanging out with him. But he's never gonna get around to his dream of becoming a Pirate Ninja Meat Vendor King if he keeps getting pulled back and forth like this...

[Voice] /remembered

[mikangirl]

A pirate ninja meat vendor king... [She sounds on the verge of laughing. At the very least, it's an amusing thought. Oh, Luffy.] He'll never make a ninja or a meat vendor.

[Voice] /that'll do, kj. that'll do

[savedtheworld]

Really? But he was gonna study real hard and learn alchemy too!

[Voice]

[mikangirl]

I don't know about the alchemy part, but 'meat vendor' sounds distinctly like he'd be required to sell meat to other people. Luffy wants all the meat for himself.

[Voice]

[savedtheworld]

Really? Then I guess he's got a lot to learn before he's ready to sell anyone meat...

[Voice]

[mikangirl]

He's never going to get to the stage of being able to sell meat. He's too greedy.

[Voice]

[savedtheworld]

That's a real shame, then. Aside from greediness, Luffy seemed like a really great hero. I hope he can still make the other parts of his dream true.

[Voice]

[mikangirl]

Oh, he will. Nobody will stop him from doing what he damn well pleases out there in the New World. [Hearing him called a hero just brings a vaguely amused sort of tug to her smile. She just got done hearing Luffy's opinions on heroism.]

[Voice]

[savedtheworld]

That's good, at least! As long as he keeps doing good things. Your world's new?

[Voice]

[mikangirl]

No. [The confusion makes her smile wistfully.] The second half of the ocean we're on is called the New World. It's... a one of a kind place.

[Voice]

[savedtheworld]

Oh, that sounds interesting. What's it like?

[Voice]

[mikangirl]

One of a kind. [She grins a little at that.]

I can't really tell you more than that. We only just arrived. I can tell you the weather's pretty catastrophic in a lot of places there.

[Voice]

[savedtheworld]

[It's hard to imagine for Aang, with how set and defined all of his world already was. Except for wherever it is he's supposed to find all those sky bison.]

But it's nothing that you guys can't handle, right?

[Voice]

[mikangirl]

Of course! We trained for two years to make sure we could!

[Voice]

[savedtheworld]

Two whole years?! Wow, no wonder you guys seem so strong!

[Voice]

[mikangirl]

Some of us are a lot stronger than others. [She grins.] You should see Zoro or Sanji-kun when they really get fired up.

[Or Luffy. But...well.]

[Voice]

[savedtheworld]

[He has never really seen them in action.]

I should? So they're even more super strong than I guessed?

[Voice]

[mikangirl]

Without a doubt. They may look like idiots, but between them they can take on armies.

...heck, we all can. The last fight we got involved in back home was against an army of tens of thousands of people.

[Voice]

[savedtheworld]

Wow! That many?! I don't think we've ever gotten near one of thousand! [But then, Aang was never one to count individual Fire Nation soldiers.]

[Voice]

[mikangirl]

[That's because Nami comes from SHOUNEN!!!1! She grins more widely.]

It wasn't so bad. Luffy took out a full half of the army just by glaring at them.

[Voice]

[savedtheworld]

It doesn't sound like they were that tough! It's hard to imagine Luffy glaring. ...Or getting angry at all. [Of course, the same could be said of him.]

[Voice]

[mikangirl]

They were manageable. [Trying to explain what haki is would take a while, so Nami just skims that point.] And we'll deal with whatever comes next.

[Voice]

[savedtheworld]

Of course you guys will. I believe in all of you.

[Voice]

[mikangirl]

[She smiles faintly at that.] Yeah. We just have to get back there. Eventually.
