I do not own One Piece but I do own this plot and Celest!
Celest groaned her head felt like someone took a hammer and hit her multiple times. She opened her eyes slowly wincing at the bright light shining on her face. 'Where the hell am I?'
Celest sat up putting a hand to her head to stop the dizziness. "What the hell happened to me?"
"You went up against pops and he kicked your ass, it was even worse than the time he kicked my ass." Celest screamed scrambling back and falling off her bed.
She could hear the freckled raven laughing his ass off and felt her eyes twitch. "You damn pirate don't sneak up on me like that!"
Ace looked at her smugly. Celest was tangled in her blankets still on the hard ground. She looked around suspiciously. "Where the hell am I?"
Ace leaned his chair back. "You're on pops ship, he decided he liked you and took you with us."
Celest couldn't believe what she was hearing. Whitebeard the strongest man alive had kidnapped her?
Before she could question Ace anymore the door opened and Marco strolled his with his same bored expression. "Good your awake, pops wants to talk to you, yoi."
Celest tensed. She sighed standing up and followed after Marco. 'What the hell could Whitebeard want with me? I'm a no name marine…unless he knows about that.'
Celest walked into a meeting room. All of the commander were there and right at the front of the table sat Whitebeard. Celest narrowed her eyes at the man. 'He can't know about that no one knows about it.'
Whitebeard motioned for her to sit, not wanting to anger the man she sat at the end of the meeting table with the fourth division commander on her right and the freckled commander on her left.
Celest was tense. "So what does the strongest man in the world want from me and little marine girl?"
Whitebeard chuckled the girl certainly was cheeky. "I had a few questions for you marine brat."
The purple haired girl raised an eyebrow. "Oh and what makes you think I'm going to answer them? If its anything about the marines I'd hate to say I don't know much."
Whitebeard shook his head. "I want to know what the power of yours was, I know it's a devil fruit so what is it."
Celest blinked confused. She was honestly expecting to be interrogated about the marines not about her fruit power.
The marine glared at the captain. "I have no intention of answering your questions you are pirates and I am a marine we're enemies."
Whitebeard laughed loudly. "Gurarara what a cheeky little brat! We managed to find out a lot about you but nothing about your powers."
Celest tensed growing cold. "What do you know!" The commander all tensed ready to protect their captain and father if the girl tried anything funny.
Marco looked over at her smirking. Celest knew right then she hated that damn blondes annoying ass smirk.
"Well miss Dragon if you want to know so badly then I'll tell you, we found out that you used to be a celestial dragon as your name so suggests, yoi." Celest stood slamming her hands on the table.
She was scared and enraged. No one was supposed to know about her being a celestial dragon. "I left that life behind! I want nothing to do with those pig headed assholes! I am nothing like them! Those fools who think so little of human life I could never stay there and be happy."
The commanders were shocked. They really didn't expect that from the noble girl especially since she came from so high up on the honors list. Her family was the second most influential.
Celest clenched her fists. "Those people are not my family! I could go back at any time but I'd rather die than go back to that life! To see all the pain and suffering they put people through, it's wrong!"
Celest was caught up in her memories of her time as a celestial dragon. Her family was so conceited they even named her Celestial so all would know who she was. They people they hurt, they acted like it was nothing!
Ace placed a hand on the girl's shoulder. He could understand how she felt from his time with Sabo. "Hey it's alright your nothing like those people, blood doesn't make a family."
Celest looked to him shocked. She shrugged his hand off her shoulder and looked up into the eyes of the captain. Whitebeard was watching her silently. "What made you leave?"
Celest looked down at her feet. "They wanted to marry me off to a fallen dragon. They said if I married him he could come back and reclaim his title, my family wanted his power but that man he was one of the worst I've ever met."
Thatch was curious to know who this man was. "Who was he? The man they wanted you to marry?"
The purple haired girl bit her lip. "Doflamingo the current warlord." The commanders knew of him he caused so much death and destruction where ever he went.
Celest took a deep breath calming herself down. She was slightly mad at herself for giving out some sensitive information. Not only that but she kind of had a mental break in front of Whitebeard and his commanders.
Whitebeard had decided long ago that he wanted the little marine to join his family and now he was even more sure of himself. "Marine brat, if you wish to be free of the chains holding you down become my daughter! Join my crew and sail these seas' wild and free!"
Celest couldn't believe what she was hearing. This man known as the strongest was asking her to join his crew of pirates. She couldn't believe a pirate wanted a noble on his ship.
She narrowed her eyes. 'No there's no way I won't be fooled again! They'll betray me and try to sell me back to my family I can't let my guard down.'
"I'm sorry but I'll have to decline I'm not foolish enough to let my guard down like I did once before, there is only one person I will ever trust and I have a duty as a marine." Thatch and Ace both booed at her.
Whitebeard grinned. "Hmm then how about a deal marine brat?" Celest perked up she was interested.
She nodded for him to continue. Whitebeard chuckled. "If you'll sail with us for two weeks and try getting to know some of the crew then make your decision, if you still want to leave by then I won't stop you what do you say?"
Celest thought the deal over. If was beneficial to her. She wouldn't have to worry about the pirate doing anything to her as long as she sailed with them for two weeks. "Alright then I'll agree but on one condition, I'll need a white den, den mushi."
Many of the commanders wanted to object knowing she could easily contact marine headquarters and give them vital information. Marco looked her over curiously. "What do you need it for, yoi?"
Celest knew she would probably have to tell them. "I'm an informant for the revolutionary army, I am loyal to the marines but the man who saved my life is in the army so I do what I can to help him but if he doesn't hear from me within the next day he will assume something happened and come looking for me, and let me say you definitely don't want to mess with the chief he's a brilliant tactician and strong easily on par with your second division commander."
Ace scuffed looking smug. "I highly doubt it, I'm amazing sweetheart not many can pair up with me."
Thatch snorted. "Yeah coming from the man who just the other day tripped over his own feet and fell overboard."
The commanders all roared with laughter. Celest snickered picturing it in her head. Ace glowed red glaring at Thatch. "Marco, Thatch can sleep in his own room tonight!"
Marco smirked chuckling. Thatch looked wide eyed at the first. "Marco are you really going to go along with that?"
The blonde chuckled nodding. "I don't want Ace pissed at me as well, you dug your own grave there, yoi."
Celest looked at the three before her eyes widened in shock. 'No way in hell! Are those three together?'
Before she could ask Whitebeard spoke up. "I'll agree to your condition and provide you with a snail."
Celest smiled brightly nodding. "Thank you, well then I'll be going to my room I've had enough of this meeting good day captain sir."
She turned for the door ready to leave when Ace called out to her. "Ah do you even know where you're going?"
Celest froze her hand on the knob. 'Shit he's right but if I turn back around then I know they'll laugh at me and that damn blondes going to be all smug about it! Ah what do I do?'
She chose pride opening the door. "Of course I know where I'm going but thank you anyways fire fist-san."
Marco smirked crossing his arms. 'There's no way she knows where she's going.' He followed her out of the door.
Celest looked around confused having absolutely no idea where the room she woke up in was at. "Are you lost, yoi?"
She tensed and turned forcing a smile onto her face. "Of course not! I don't get lost I'm a marine."
Marco nodded not believing a word of what she said. "Uhuh well then lead the way, yoi."
Celest cursed the stupid turkey in her head. She sighed looking to the side pouting slightly. "Alright fine I'm lost can you show me to my room…please." It took a lot for her to force out the please at the end.
Marco nodded grinning smugly. The girl was definitely amusing and he was going to have fun getting under her skin.
If anyone is interest in how Celest looks I'm going to be uploading a picture of her on my profile.
