[There's actually a really soft expression. Losing a captain is painful. Even if it's an untrustworthy douche like Moria. And it's genuinely not a pain Marco would wish on most people.]
[He's got suspicions who it could be. Half of the shichibukai gone, seems like they wanted to clean house. Another political gambit? Maybe they wanted someone who didn't have connections -- good or negative -- to pirate emperors. After all, Jinbei defected, Blackbeard betrayed them same as he did the Whitebeard crew, Crocodile they hoped would be blinded by his hate of Whitebeard -- which reminds Marco of yet another problem he'll have to deal with in the New World. So really of those with connections (good or bad) to pirate emperors left, that just left Moria and his hatred of Kaidou. For that matter, given the pacifista and the new robot army the marines are going for, it seemed like they might be trying to get Kaidou more on their side, which would definitely be a reason to get rid of Moria. Then again, maybe Moria just got burned out. He wasn't in tip-top shape during the fight, really just a distraction more than anything else.]
[Well, political worries aside, Marco doesn't bring any of this up right now. She's hurting and distracting her with could-bes won't solve anything.]
If I find anything in the future, I'll let you know. [Because if there's one thing Marco feels strongly about, it's that everyone should have the right to avenge their captain. Or die trying. Especially if they've got no one else to protect by staying alive.]
Were you here during the flood of refugees? Everyone's still here I think. All the Straw Hat crew, a few new faces. You didn't miss much.
