"Ah, so this is where it all goes downhill..." Puck peeks his head out of the haystack while Ivalera pulls him out of the pile of horsefood inside their barn.
"What are you talking about?"
"The boat, we all know that's where it started to suck! The story started to drag out, characters became non characters, everyone's arcs boiled down to repeatedly calling back to the same things over and over! It makes me wonder if it was ever good to begin with."
"Bah! You're only saying that because it's the popular thing to say!"
"Only over here, everyone else treats it like it's the second coming of the God Hand when we all know the guy who made it was stalling because he didn't know how to end it well."
"Sounds to me like you just got filtered..."
"What are little man and woman talking about?" An annoyed Gunpowder approaches his mouth onto his meal, angry that he couldn't eat in silence.
"Post timeskip One Piece, what else? Aren't you caught up on what's popular with the kids?"
'Gunpowder can't read. Can barely hear as I am."
"Ah, right. Guess they don't call it the sonic armor for no reason, GP" Puck plays around with the Dark Horse's earlobes, rustling his hair in order to shape it into a third ear.
'Interesting. Little man wishes to die!' GP bites at Puck while he does his best to hold his jaw in place.
"Waitwaitwaitwait! Isn't this a bit of an overkill?!"
'Underkill! Gunpowder has not killed enough!'
"Please, GP! Vlad is in critical condition! You can't kill us here, who will take care of him then?" Ivalera kicks puck out of Gunpowder's throat as he is spat out into a ball of saliva and snot.
'...Vlad can't die, Not before we reach island.'
"But how can you be so sure, horsy? With the way it's looking... I'm afraid people some of us might not even make it to the island, after what happened to Cindy..."
'Gunpowder will not be one of them... Hearing hard, hooves hurt, but if Vlad calls for fight, Gunpowder fight.'
"I have faith in you old buddy--"
"Me not friends with little man."
"--And if anything happens to you, you can count on me."
'Pecking order: Gunpowder, Finger Demons, Sword man, Vlad, Little Witch, Violet father, Squinty Eyes, Muscular Woman, Vlad's Bad Cook, Fire Hair, Plant Clown, Haystack, Little Woman, Little Man. Will not count on little man.' GP lays his unbiased ranking of strong entities he's met so far from strongest to weakest.
"Ah, that's just mean..." Puck frowns.
"Hey! he thinks I'm stronger than you!" Ivalera gives the horse a thumbs up, to which he ignores. "Hopefully Vlad can get that boat after he wakes up."
"He'll be fiiine. I don't know why he's fussing so hard over it. I mean, the guy has 3 moms, he'll be pampered for life!"
"3 mums?"
"Yeah, his plant mom, his adoptive mom, and now Farnese: his sugar mama."
"I don't even know why I hang out with you..."
"Iva! Let's go for a walk!" Schierke invites the pink elf to accompany her through the docks with Guts, Isidro and Cindy."
"Try not to kill each other!"
