The one with the sign that says for sale?

Right. Now that that's out of my system.

Temporarily I will be... rescuing kidnapping assisting stealing borrowing Commodore Smoker. For ... a while. Because of... personal reasons. I will hear no objections. We are heading to Caledonia and in pursuit of Dyson Tew Lusk the pirate. Because he supposedly has seastone bullets.

In the interim I will be acting as a temporary liaison.

Tashigi is, of course, in charge of the ship and the men. Everything is to run par course. Keep your eyes open.

Abe, if you're still on Smoker's ship you're the only one I trust with having any brains. See if you can find out anything about his cigars. There may be a box on the railing unless it got washed overboard by now.

Ed, while you're looking up... whatever the hell you're looking up, see if you can find out anything about something called an "Erenrue root," for reasons that may become obvious, it's important.

Straw-Hat: this doesn't mean he's not chasing you anymore. (He made me say it)

Ace, if you want him back you'll have to come find me, it's too difficult to get back to the Sunny in this place. Also we'll need to discuss puppy prices.

Garp: I think a certain marine needs huggings. What is your opinion on the matter? He says all he needs is cigars but I dunno...

That is all. Any questions?

Did I forget anything Captain?
