A Red-Crowned Crane.

At least, that's the best I can figure, considering the red spot on my forehead, the color pattern of my feathers when I am somehow keyed up into full-animal form, and the sudden overwhelming desire to eat frog sushi.

I suppose it isn't too bad a comparison. The bird is considered a symbol of luck, longevity, and fidelity- all of which are things I'd certainly like to find myself possessing. It seems as though they are almost extinct from the world, which I suppose is also a good comparison, considering the circumstances.

I've been reading out in the sails, hoping it would discourage any of our more predatory crewmates from unnecessary stalking, and it seems to have worked well enough so far. Princess, I'd be more than willing to help you reach deck safely, if you'd also like to remain out of immediate sight. You needn't fear the consequences of suddenly finding yourself in mostly human form when taking refuge in the less accessible places of the ship.

Usopp- really, you ought to at least try to make it less amusing for everyone.

Great waves crash against the shoreline as the video pans up the beach, follows a line of scrub, then focuses on a red-maned giant reclining with his elbows propped up on a couple of trees. The giant simply watches, his face impassive. Robin shifts uncomfortably, jolting the video.

"I wonder if the video will record this," her voice is quiet, holding nothing of its usual arrogance. Then she cries out, "Saul! Can you hear me? It's me, the little girl you saved, Robin. I grew up, that's all."

The giant makes no indication that he's heard, he simply continues to stare blankly down in the general direction of the Thousand Sunny.

Robin's voice grows frantic. "Say something, Saul! This isn't like you! Laugh! Smile! Don't just stare at me frozen like-" Her voice catches in her throat. After a deep inhale, she murmurs the word "frozen" once again, and turns the camera around, searching for its shut off. The feed catches a few frames of her face, tears trickling down her cheeks, before blacking out.


I suppose it would be too much to ask, to be able to hear his ridiculous laugh one last time.
