[Marco would probably think it was adorable and coo about it, that damn bastard.]
[And Smoker twitches more.] You are TOO, yo-- [He can't do it. Not even to make a point. Gross. Phoenix cooties. Have another twitch.]
Hn.... All the other times I was here I didn't pay attention to the Malnosso because I didn't think it was important. In G-5, I didn't keep as close an eye on my fellow vice admiral because I was so busy dealing with my own men and the pirates. [His eyes narrow.] That was a mistake. I didn't notice what Tashigi spotted even when it was right in front of me.
But I can't just do it all. [That was the other mistake he'd made.] So I need a tight group I can trust to keep an eye on each other too. Sorry. [Ironically it's because he trusts Ikki the most.]
