I am sorry that I don’t remember you. Could you by any chance inform me about yourself?

I—

Pops, I—

[The Bartender swallows hard, unable to meet Whitebeard's eyes.]

... my name is Aurelia. You— the Whitebeard Pirates— and the rest of the world knows me as Rell. I'm Thatch's younger sister. I run the Blue Rose, and you and Thatch were my first customers when I opened the bar for the first time.

I'm— glad that you're back.

I don't want to talk about this. I don't want to. I don't. Please don't make me talk about this—

I don't know why I expected him to. It's not like I was ever officially part of the crew. I was never really his child. I don't wear the emblem. I was only on the periphery. I was just happy to be a place they could come to be safe for a while and hear about their adventures.

Please.

...

Y.. yeah...

Yes, sir. Yes sir, right away.

She's gotten really into porridge now that I've gotten the family recipe from Pops. She always takes a bowl of her own off to eat it, probably. She may be trying to feed it to Murmur.
