[ SHOVES HIS HAND ON HER FACE WHEN SHE ATTEMPTS TO BITE just casual bullying ]
Mm. [ there's nostalgia and fondness as he tells the story: ] When I set out, I got shipwrecked on a deserted island before I got a crew, trying to find a rare treasure rumored to be there. The currents and rocks around the shore were too strong, so anyone who wound up there never came out alive. All the boats I tried to build just kept breaking before going anywhere because of that. About a week in, I met some other poor sap stuck there. He ended up being my first mate when I made the Spades. Long story short, we found and split the Devil Fruit. I got the powers, but he's the one who got the idea to build a boat that uses a propulsion system with my flames so we could bypass the current. I've had Striker since. It's small, but it's probably one of the fastest ships on the sea thanks to that. It's not a real pirate ship, but it'll get us to people.
[ boops her nose. it's just fond and proud and a little hehe past me is stupid vibes ]
Deu wears a mask, and he didn't want to give me his name at first, so I gave him the one he goes by now. Masked Deuce! [ he laughs a little ] He hates when I add the masked part. Deuce sounds like Ace, right? I wanted us to match.
