"I would say I'd like to see you kicking ass, but I actually don't doubt it." Adam might have been a lot of things, but stupid actually wasn't one of them.

It seemed Jigano didn't quite understand the extra shame of the Navy man's love being a pirate; Adam supposed if the man had no oceans where he'd come from, he may not have had any intense nautical rivalries in his world, either. "It's just. Navy and Pirates have a thing where they all hate each other more than anything. Though they should expect it all to get a bit smoochy, really. I mean, you can't spend all the time obsessing over someone and following them across the seas without it getting kinda romantic."
