Game 027 [Voice] - Remind Me Before I Forget it All

[neverplaysfair]

[ It's early in the morning when the audio clicks on, just about the time when the earliest risers will be waking up. Joshua isn't going to be going to bed any time soon, though, so he'll be responding well into the day. ]

Call me curious. What do you dream of?

[ His tone of voice is level, more bored than curious with just a hint of weariness. ]

[justicereigns]

A little, yes.

[neverplaysfair]

Do you dream about any of your obligations?

[justicereigns]

Yes. Often enough I suppose.

[neverplaysfair]

Interesting that you don't dream about him, then. Any ideas why?

[justicereigns]

He's not King yet. So if I dream about the Pirate King it's usually Gold Roger.

[neverplaysfair]

... Pirate King. [ There is confusion in this statement. ]

[justicereigns]

[Sighs.] That's why I chase him.

[neverplaysfair]

Forgive my curiosity, but what does that mean?

[justicereigns]

The first Pirate King was the only person to reach the end of the Grand Line and come back alive. He had everything pirates want. So finding his treasure One Piece would be a good step in that direction.

[neverplaysfair]

Are you trying to find it?

[justicereigns]

... No. That would be stupid. I'm just going to catch the guy I think has the closest chance of finding it.

[neverplaysfair]

Why?

[justicereigns]

Because the world doesn't need another King of the Pirates.

[neverplaysfair]

It doesn't? Why not?

[justicereigns]

Because the first one nearly broke the world and the next one is likely to follow that same path.

[neverplaysfair]

... "broke the world"?

[justicereigns]

... Yes.

[neverplaysfair]

How? To what consequences? Details, if you would.

[justicereigns]

Honestly, I can't be that much more detailed. A lot of it is state secrets even for this place. In short, Gold Roger was capable of achieving what many considered the impossible and in his wake, a horde of pirates have started covering the world.

[neverplaysfair]

Classified, hmm? Hee hee, that's no fun. How do you know the same thing will happen again?

[justicereigns]

Because One Piece exists.

[neverplaysfair]

So?

[justicereigns]

So if he finds it, it won't be good for the world.

[neverplaysfair]

It's that powerful?

[justicereigns]

Hn.

Possibly.
