This is a one piece story... Let's bring Ace back to life!
The witch of typhoons came to a grave site. She looked at it. An orange hat and a dagger was resting above it. She looked at it thoughtfully.
"Hmmm... this one! He deserves a second chance... but it'll come at a price!" she cackled.
She casted a spell on it. Chanting some kind of language that no one else understands. She then sat and waited. After a few minutes a huge fire blast came out from the grave and a figure climbed out of it. The witch smiled.
"Welcome back, Fire Fist Ace" the witch said with a grin.
"Wha-... Where am I?" He asked.
"You are back from the dead" the witch sneered.
"Huh?"
he looks back at his grave... freak attack in 3...2...1...
"WHAT THE HELL! HOW THE HELL DID THIS HAPPEN" Ace shouted
"Pull yourself together. You'll remember soon enough" the witch cackled.
Ace grabbed his hat and his dagger and put them back on. His memories slowly came back. His eyes widened. He grabbed the witch by the cloak.
"Why did you bring me back?" he asked.
"To strike fear into the hearts of everyone you come across" the witch said.
"Is that the catch for this?" he asked
"No, the catch is that every girl from this world will fear you, no matter what! Unless you find a girl that falls in love with you, you will live forever and never age. Do trust me when I say that's the cruelest curse I can put on anyone" the witch said.
"What kind of curse is that?" He asked.
The witch smirked.
"You'll find out soon enough" the witch sneered.
Current events at the thousand sunny.
Nami disappeared from Luffy's crew for unknown reasons. Luffy didn't realize how much he'd miss her until she left. Ace later joins their crew telling them what happened.
Hancock tries to make a move on Luffy but do to Ace's curse, she was too scared to approach. Eventually, her infatuation with him wares off. Everyone misses Nami...
In another world
"Morgan Marisol! You are going to get your ass in that boat!" I heard my uncle shout.
He is a sailor but he overworks me like I'm his slave. Why can't he accept the fact that I preffered dry ground? Seriously, I'm sixteen years old for crying out loud.
We were going fishing for marlin today. He always made me do all the dirty work what ever we did. I had to cook, clean, rig the sails, clean the fish, check the traps, rain check, every single thing that that fat ass could find to do, I did it instead.
I am Morgan Marisol Seamore. I don't know why my parents named me that. Morgan meant 'from the sea' and Marisol is a spanish name meaning 'sea and sun'. I love to swim and all but I don't like the ocean... It angers me... I use to like it but that was before my parents were taken by a hurricane. I touched the necklace on my neck that my parents gave me before they went out. It was a gold locket that was half shaped like the sun and the other half was water made of mother of pearl.
I am the champion of my swimming team having won all the competions I've ever been in and I hate the ocean. Today I have a nasty surprise for my cruel uncle: we're going to a spot were a hurricane will hit. I lied and told him that it'll be clear weather when I did the weather check.
I didn't care if I'd die. I never had much of a life. I just want it to end. My aunt wasn't any better than my uncle.
She forced me to learn how to play the piano. My fingers started to hurt at the thought of the lessons. She made me play over and over until I got the songs exactly right. She'd hit my fingers if she got frustrated. Then she made me learn how to play the mandolin. The only bright side to that one was that I could play a guitar too. I sometimes play piano every now and then but I don't do the classics she loved. I play 'Fear of the Dark' and other songs that are normally heavy metal. I also play some slow songs like 'Ice Dance', 'Mercedes' Lullaby', and other songs from some of my favorite movies.
By nightfall, I could see the clouds on the horizon. I made sure that my uncle would sleep heavily by slipping sleeping pills into his beer.
I went to my bunk and turned my solar water proof Ipod on. It was a solar powered Ipod. If it needed charging, I'd press the charge button and leave it out in the sun. It was also water proof because of my see fairing life. I put on a heavy metal song and I fall asleep.
The boat capsized. Morgan and her uncle were still asleep. Her uncle was heavily dosed on the sleeping drug and died peacefull but Morgan was encased in a glowing bubble. The old sea beast looked at her.
"You'll have to start living child, for your life is just beginning" he said as he pulled her deep into the dark abyss of the ocean.
He took her through a hole in the deepest part of the ocean that only appears once every thousand years. It appears for ten weeks and then vanishes, they left her world behind for good.
I wake up in some kind of under water room. It was like I was in an aquarium. I touched the sides: they felt like jelly. Nevermind, I was in a bubble... a bubble underwater. Is this just my cursed luck? I go to sleep with every intent on dying and I'm still alive. I bet my uncle is up there pissed off because I set him up. Then I see a shadow pass by from above. I bet that's him on his jetski looking for me. He can forget it! I'm not going up there. Wait.. I'm in a bubble under water. What the hell is going on?
Then the shadow landed right next to the bubble. It looked like a blue walrus with alot of white whiskers and ivory white tusks. It had huge flippers and it had blue eyes. Its face kind of reminded me of my grandpa. It had a wise old looking face and scars that told their own stories. It popped the bubble I was in. I pannicked and swam upwards. The thing pushed on my feet and made me rise to the surface so quickly, I swore that I was tossed twenty feet in the air. I landed on its soft blubbery belly. I quickly sat up and looked at it.
"Please don't be afraid, little one. I saved your life. Wait here, I'm going to give you some things" he said quickly.
He quickly dove down. I stayed there having a hard time beleiving what was happening. Where am I? I thought hard. I looked around. This didn't look like my uncle's favorite spot.
Then the creature came back. He gave me this sack of stuff. He was quick! In among those things was my Ipod. I didn't know I lost it but I was happy to have it back.
"I figured that you should have some little piece of you world. It plays some interesting music" he said.
"What do you mean? I'm in another world?" I asked shocked.
"Yes. I brought you here, my child" he said.
I've never done this before, but I fainted.
I woke up on the beast's stomach. The sun was starting to set. I looked at the beast. He looked back at me with an amused face.
"You shouldn't sleep during the day, or else you'll end up being a nightowl" he teased.
That set me off. I normally don't faint at all. I passed out once but only for a few seconds. Besides, I like night time. It's the only time of day where my uncle isn't nagging at me.
"It's not my fault that I wake up one day to find that I'm in a different world" I said a little irritated.
"Lighten up child, think of it this way: you can start a new life. You're not too unhappy of me bringing you here. Last night, you were willing to die in a hurricane" he said.
I felt bad. I was actually happy that I was alive. A bonus is that I don't have to go face my aunt. I shivered at the though of what she would do.
"Oh no, I'm alright with you saving my life... but what do I do? Tell me Gramps" I asked.
"Gramps?" he asked.
"You remind me of my grandpa" I explained.
"Alright... but anyway to answer your question, whatever you want or whatever comes up" he told me.
"I don't know what I want" I said looking around.
Then off in the distance a pirate ship appeared. It had red sails and a skull on fire as its jolly roger. The ship was mostly a red color with touches of gold and yellow paint. The sails had an orange colored design of a burning ball of sort.
"The Burning Pearl" gramps said.
"The Burning Pearl?" I asked.
"Aye, many rumors float around about it. It's said that the ship was made in hell. The captain is the shedevil of the sea: Helga. Some say that she eats the hearts of people for supper. It is also said that she killed a giant squid with her own bare hands. Her crew is said to be a bunch of demons that came from the depths of hell to serve her." Gramps said.
I shivered. In this world, I seriously don't know what's real or fake. For all I know, those rumors could be true.
"It's all a bunch of nonsense really. Helga does have and iron hand on her crew but she's really nice. He crew are all a bunch of hooligans but you do Not want to run into them during a battle. Other than that, they're alright. They are only pirates because they want to be free and travel the world. I think they might let you on board if you promise to do some work. I'll talk to them. We're old freinds" Gramps said.
I breathed a sigh of releif as we went toward the ship. We reached it just before the sun was completely over the horizon. The torches on the ship were lit. and there were many. It looked beautiful, how the light would reflect off the water. The ship looked huge too.
Helga was leaning against the railing of the boat. I guess she's been waiting for us. Her and Gramps smiled at eachother.
"Been awhile, ya ol' blubber bag" Helga said.
"Good to see you too, hellion" Gramps said.
"So who's the kid?" Helga asked.
"Just a girl from another world" Gramps said.
"So ya finally got one fer Fire Fist?" Helga asked.
"That depends on her" Gramps said.
Helga paused and looked thoughtful. I had a bad feeling about this.
"She's not allowed on board if she don' wanna be his girl" Helga said.
"Please don't ask that of her, she just got here" Gramps pleaded.
"I'm not askin', I'm demandin'" Helga said.
"Who's Fire Fist?" I asked.
"The man that all women fear. No one knows fer sure why but many say that you don't wanna find out. It is said that the only way fer women not to fear him is if he an' another woman fall in love. The only way fer that to happen is if the women isn't born of this world. That means yer the only one he has a chance with. Yer not comin' up here unless ya say ya will be his girl." Helga said.
I am the only girl this guy can be with? Why me? I don't know if I can. What if he's ugly? That would be a nightmare. But to never be able to go near a girl? That has to be rough for a guy.
"I'm sorry child... I shouldn't have mentioned where you're from" Gramps said.
"No it's alright... Fine... I will be his girl" I said.
"Ya sure? Cuz once yer up here, there ain' no goin' back" Helga said.
"I could take you somewhere else" Gramps said.
I thought for a minute. Should I? The poor man has to be lonely. I can be too nice for my own good. But what if he's worse than my uncle? Oh well, I can always run away, can't I?
"I am sure" I said.
"Ya swear on yer grave?" Helga asked.
"I swear on my life" I told her.
"Do you realize that you just said you'll either be with him or you'll be killed" Gramps said.
"I don't think she'll want us to meet in the open ocean... I also don't think they know where to find him. It'll probably take awhile" I told Gramps as I grabbed a rope sent down for me.
"Just please be happy" Gramps said as I got lifted up by the rope.
Helga took a look at me. She smiled after awhile.
"Yer a pretty one if I do say so myself. That ol' blubber bag picked well" she said.
"Thanks... I guess" I said.
"Boys, show her to the girls quarters" Helga said.
"Yes ma'am" the two guys that pulled me up said.
They showed me to the girls quarters. There weren't many girls on this ship. When I got in there, the room was big but there were only four girls. One was blonde haired and was sharpening a blade. Two were black haired and were identical twins. They were playing poker. The last one had dark brown hair and was asleep on a bunk. Then there was something white laying in a hammock.
The room had a few bunks and some hammocks. There were also some couches, a few rugs, and a few chairs.
"Hello" greeted the blonde girl dropping her blade next to her.
"Hi" I said shyly.
"Welcome" the twins said at the same time.
"Hey" the girl from the bunk groggily greeted.
"Hello" I said to them all.
"Would you like to sit down" the blonde girl asked.
"Yes, thank you" I said sitting on a couch.
"So where you from newcomer?" the girl who was now out of her bunk asked.
"Ummm a place nearby" I said.
"Oh I understand that you don't wanna talk about it" She said.
"So what did you have to promise the captain to get on the ship?" the blonde girl asked.
"To be Fire Fist's girl" I told them.
They all gasped in shock. Then someone spoke up.
"That's impossible! I thought all women were afraid of him" someone said.
That someone turned out to be the white thing asleep on the hammock. It was a little white colored deer. She had small ringed horns on her head that looked like they were made of pure Ivory. She had light blue eyes. She was wearing a little red dress with a yellow flower design on it. Her nose and hooves were pink. She's the most adorable thing I've ever seen.
"Who are you?" I asked her.
The little deer looked at me giving me a shy smile.
"Name's Snow Blossom but everyone calls me Snow" she said.
"Oh that's right! We haven't introduced ourselves" One of the twins exclaimed.
"I'm Shay" the twin said.
"and I'm Tayna" the other twin said.
"I'm Girta" the blonde said.
"I'm Shezabel" the dark brown haired girl said.
"My name is Morgan" I said.
"That's an interesting name" Shay said.
"It means 'from the sea'" I told them.
"Cool" Snow said.
"Do you have a middle name? Does it mean something too?" Tayna asked eagerly.
"Marisol, It means 'sea and sun'" I answered.
"Sweet!" Shay exclaimed.
"That's cool. Your parents must really love you" Girta said.
The mention of my parents made me feel depressed.
"What's wrong?" Shezabel asked.
"My parents died in a storm while they were out sailing" I told them quietly.
"Ouch" Shezabel said.
"I'm sorry I brought it up" Girta said apologetically.
"It's alright" I assured her.
"I'm sorry to hear that" the twins said at the same time crying.
"That's rough" Snow said.
"It's alright, it happened when I was little" I told them.
"Alright" Girta said.
Then Helga came in.
"Alrigh' ladies, listen up! Y'all probably aquain'ed yourselves with Morgan already. Anyway, she's gonna be with us until Ace comes fer her. She's from another world and tha' means she won' be afeared of Fire Fist Ace. Until he finds us, keep talkin' 'bout her to other people. We wan' them to come to us. He'll evetually hear abou' her and come a lookin' fer her. Until then, y'all are responsible fer her condition an' Imma expectin' y'all to take good care o her. Got it?" Helga asked.
The girls all looked shocked. But then they all nodded.
"Yes captain!" they all said in unison.
"Good. Dinner in five" she said.
The girls all ran out eagerly. Girta guided Me to the dining area. It was big enough for Helga's crew of forty men. They all had huge plates of food piled high. The ship had five cooks, one for every ten men and one for the girls.
I was given first dish since I was the new comer. It was meat, vegetables, and some rice. It smelled delicious so I dug in.
Then Girta noticed something about my face because she was looking at me funny.
"Is that just me or are your eyes differents shades of blue? One eye looks like a light green-blue color while the other is cerulean blue" she said.
"Monochromia" Snow said.
"What?" Shay asked.
"It's when your eyes are different colors. I think she has a cool color combination, especially with her light brown hair." Snow said.
"Ace won't get tired of those eyes, I'm sure of it" Shezabel said smirking.
I blushed beet red. The girls all laughed.
"Oh stop it! I don't even know what he looks like!" I said flustered.
"Oh don't worry... You'll find that he's 'hot' in more ways than one" Tayna said winking at me.
All the girls fell down laughing. I didn't get the pun. Am I suppose to? Girta looked at my puzzled expression and stopped laughing immediately. The other girls also stopped.
"You don't get what we're talking about, do you?" Girta asked.
"No... am I missing something?" I asked.
"He's called Fire Fist Ace for a reason. He ate a devil fruit and that devil fruit gave him the power to control fire. He could blow this ship up no problem if he wanted to" Girta said.
That sounded scary... no wonder why women feared him.
"What's a devil fruit?" I asked.
The girls looked at eachother then back at me like I'm a crazy person.
"A devil fruit is a fruit that grants someone a power however, once you've eaten one, the sea will hate you and you'll never be able to swim for the rest of your life" Girta said.
Geez this was a lot to take in for one day. We went back to eating. We joked and talked about my world. Then we get to the topic of music as a record player started to play a song. Some of the men started to dance just to be funny. Then they asked us all to dance. I decided that it would be fun. I danced with the rigger, Bruto. He was a fun guy and always had to get his two bits worth in everything. Or was it two berries worth in this case? Oh well, he lifted my spirits and me. My feet were literally off the ground when we danced.
Soon everyone was dancing. The guys passed me around to each other. They had to share the women on the boat considering the male-female ratio. All girls get danced with including Snow and Helga.
It was funny to watch the guys dance with Snow. She's just below the hieght of my knee and they all would lift her up and spin her around and she'd be laughing loudly. Some of them would stoop to her height and then dance with her. She was kind of like a little girl really.
Helga danced with Bruto a lot. I wondered if those two had a thing for each other. Helga wasn't ugly either. She had dark skin, choclate brown hair, golden brown eyes, and a fairly thin but muscular build.
Bruto was big and heavily muscular like a body builder. He had blonde hair and sky blue eyes. He wasn't ugly either but he was a little too muscular for my taste. Those two made a cute couple.
I smiled. One day in this world and it was already better than my old life. I no longer felt the ocean was a curse, it was now a gift. I can live with this kind of life... but then there's the issue of having to be with Ace. What will happen when he comes for me? My thoughts were interrupted when Cookie, the head cook, asked me to dance. He was quite a jolly old man and would tell stories about when he was young. He wasn't that old, he still had a few years on him. He bragged about having a one year old grandchild. He's a fairly new grandfather so he shouldn't retire for a few years.
Finally, it was time for us all to go to bed. The girls and I went back to our quarters, all tired out from having to dance with the guys.
"Just pick what's open" Girta told me gesturing to all the bunks and hammocks.
I picked a hammock near Snow. I laid down and fell asleep immediately.
