Permanent
Mankind has the tendency to seek some form of constancy in the ever-changing. It is in their nature, an instinct.
It is the reason why half of the Whitebeard pirates have families – wives, daughters and sons - whom they have abandoned to answer the call of the seas.
Simple wedding bands are only seen after night fall on the Moby Dick, by the warming fires of the dining hall.
By fire-light.
They’re not seen in the day for reasons most know of, but are unwilling to articulate.
Daylight is precious, bringing adventure, conquests and memories. They are also precious because blood is spilled, cannon fire whistles overhead, blood pounds through their veins and they’re reminded that they’re alive.
And of how fragile they are.
Fruit powers or accuracy with guns don’t matter on the seas. Don’t count. Don’t make a difference.
Wedding rings represent family outside of the rambunctious camaraderie on-board the Moby Dick. It is for steady fires and comfortable beds.
It holds no place in the sun, or in the battle for survival that the men face each new breaking dawn.
But it’s a constant reminder of being anchored to a place on land you could call home. For that, the men keep their reminders in their pockets or shoes. Somewhere easy to find (to send home, if—).
It is for this reason that jibes mask the understanding smiles (pained) when their first and second division commanders find their constancy in a similar way.
Only, it’s not in gold or silver, or set with precious stones.
The dark ring, solid in its presence, transcends what is skin-deep.
And the eternal loop which binds them will never be erased, just like the marks they bear for their father.
It is their permanent brand of constancy.
(Their lov—)

Date: 2010-01-30 08:57 pm (UTC)I COULDN'T HELP IT. Whitebeard just HAS to butt into the marital life of his sons. That way, if any divorcing happens, (which is won't, because Marco can't be bothered and Ace would cling to him for life anyway, and because Papabeard might just kill whoever starts the squabble) ALL WILL BE RESOLVED WITHIN THE FAMILY. >)
