I'll keep that in mind as soon as I get the first opportunity to do so.
[ sanji is getting into giyuu's good graces. sure, he wouldn't normally be okay with this sort of thing, but you know. things happen. he can have a temper. ]
Those who are still alive are allowed to have a say but you're right. We deserve something. There were a number of them who were on that ship ended up targeting a specific group of people, too.
[ not that he's speculating anything, but it's just an interesting observation. thots were murderers and the poor island folk were just decimated. ]
[The first rule of piracy is you put your money where your mouth is. Sanji is sympathetic to those who were forced to kill -- of course he is, having known that struggle -- but they have to own the choices they made, for better or worse.
Sanji was never owed forgiveness and neither are they. That's just the ugly truth of it.]
I don't know if they really targeted the people from the island... [...]
Magnus promised he wouldn't attack Steph-chan or Belph after he killed me, and I told him he was full of shit for making promises he might not have been able to keep -- but I do think he was being sincere.
Now, the other killers? No fuckin' clue. They probably just didn't care so long as they weren't targeting their friends.
[Let's just be honest about it; even if the final goal was to save everyone, people prioritized the ones they loved above all others]
Of the murderers, Tonbokiri was by far the ones I had the least interaction with.
[ so, you know, he can be salty about that but also that just explains him and not everyone else :| but he'll nod at sanji's point. anyone who is saying otherwise is not being realistic. ]
I'm not surprised. I've been saying it all this time—the people who were alive were all alive for a reason.
[ AND PEOPLE HATED IT WHEN HE SAID IT? like come on!!! giyuu's stupid about some things but he's not that blind. ]
And people got pissed off at you for statin' the obvious.
[Which, in retrospect, makes sense. If anyone had given Giyuu more than a passing listen, they would have realized just how many of the ship thots were potentially killers.]
-- Well. We got played.
[PLAIN AND SIMPLE. Might as well own up to it.]
I'll have a few choice words for Tonbokiri, but... after this, I just want shit to be over.
Why would anyone who sees themselves to be above it all think to admit to something like that?
[ the human nature can be so ugly and selfish; if it weren't then demons wouldn't exist in his world. it's a reason why giyuu hates everything that the murderers doxx'd.
to protect others by killing people? either way, he'll agree with a nod. ]
I also want it to be over. I personally have people I want, more than anything, to go home to their families or to fulfill what they need to do.
[ giyuu's tired. if anything this reveal has made him even more tired. ]
[A faint laugh; this, to be frank, is why Sanji prefers dealing with those who are a bit rougher around the edges -- people who don't care about anyone's high horses, and will sooner shot you and the horse dead to get what they want.
It's a lot easier than hearing people prattle on about their convictions, their morals, their certainty that they have the world figured out. Especially in a game designed to drag everyone's ugliness to the forefront. There's a reason that shitty pink snake has gotten fat off their trauma.]
... When you go back home -- [If they get to go back home] -- You gonna return to demon slaying?
[ truly, the snake wanted suffering and they have that in spades. ]
Yes; it's what I've sworn to do and I'll keep slaying demons until I die or until there are none left.
[ he doesn't mean to be somber but, you know, that's how things get to be with the line of work. guess, in a way, it sucks given the fact that he's still putting his life on the line but actively. ]
[Most pirates die on their journey, and the few who live to tell the tale must give up that way of life for stability. It's why Sanji feels an odd tinge of sympathy at Giyuu's blunt assessment of what his life will look like. In his own way, he gets it.]
Heh... who knows? They still gotta rescue me and all.
[Though as for his own story... eh, well. Nothing is promised, even if he can smirk about it now]
[ he never did ask about what kind of state sanji was left in, but, at the same time, there were other things that were more important than just that. ...but does this mean sanji's going to leave a situation where he's trapped for another situation where he's....trapped? ]
I'm an ex-prince, actually -- got kicked out of my family when I was young, but now they need someone to marry off in a political marriage, so had the shitty nerve to hunt me down for it.
[The Vinsmokes are lovely people]
Except turns out my fiance wants to kill all of us during my wedding, so... y'know. Shit's happening.
[He's honestly so done and over with it that he can't even work up the energy to be upset. It feels like a problem happening in a different lifetime... probably because it's exactly that: a nightmare to sort out later, if he ever gets the chance]
irony. though giyuu will look at him thoughtfully for a moment. didn't sanji mention something like this to him when they first met? something about how some of it was a lie and one of them were a truth? wow, it seems so long ago when it wasn't.
but... ]
Royal marriages tend to be so messy.
[ he frowns because, well, from what giyuu knows from history nothing about royalty and marriages ever seems to be not complicated. ]
Did something happen that caused your fiance to want to kill you all?
