"Is all prepared for the transportation of everyone?" asked a teenager with a ponytail in a calm tone to his two child like siblings . "Come on Willian , don't worry , is all prepared , and even the room , seats and the barrier is prepared! So don't be such a worryheart okay?" responded the carefree tone of voice of one of his siblings , one that , for imposible that someone may think , could be the perfect twin of Monkey D Luffy .
Willian could only shake his head in exasperation of the actitude of his brother ,"To think that he , Anthony "the craefree teen" is the most intelligent of us three" he thought with a fond but ironic tone . He then went to her sister , who was practising for her interpretation " How are you doing Laura? Going well with the-" "I am the Godness of the treasure known as One Piece , the treasure of the former Pirate King Gold D Roger . I know that all of you have questions but-" was the response for his question not even finished of her sister , Laura , that was so concentrate in her rol that not even notice his presence and continue her monologue .
Willian only shake his head fondly and leave the " actress " to her practice . He then go to a table that have a paper with a list of all the necessary things for their "project" , revise it , and smile proudly of the plan "Time to call the spectators to the show , and I hope Pirate King Luffy understand that this is for his own good , to share his pain of his heart and get some weight off of his shoulders"

A calm day in the bast sea called Grand Line , the seagulls flew around the sky , and one of then posed itself in the bow of a giant ship that have the aspect of a big white whale .
The name of that ship is Moby Dick II , a home for the pirate crew of a former emperor ; the late Edward Newgate , A.K.A. Whitebeard , captain and father figure of the Whitebeard Pirates , A.K.A. his sons and daughters in all but blood . The responsibility of being the new captain after the departure of Newgate fell on the shoulders of his oldest son , the former 1st division commander , Marco the Phoenix .
The former commander was doing paperwork on the room that he has used as a commander ( he don't use the captain room , neither the throne of his demised father , because his first orden as a new captain was to convert those places in some kind of temple to honor him , just like they had done with the rooms of their two departured brothers : Fire Fist Ace and Twin Blade Thatch ( the marines would try to capture them if the visist their tombs , ( one depicable way that the "Absolute Justice" marine followers use to capture and kill pirates ) ) ) .
He do it all without a rest : checking the informs of the nurses , verify the food supley , reading and making sure that the reports of the division commanders were right redacted , investigating any report of suspicious activity ( they will not let what happened with that rat ever again ) , checking if the territories were well secu-" Still working with out a rest again , eh , Marco? " came a sudden question from a male voice with a calm caring, thought little worried , tone from the open doorstep of his room , interrumping him , but not taking him by surprise . The voice was from the 5th division commander , Flower Sword Vista , a good friend , good brother and the new fisrtmate of the new captain, who know that the question of Vista hided a few more : Still think of the "What if" scenarios from that war ? Still passing two hours a day looking to their wanted posters as if they were alive?... Still confining yourself in your work to make the pain go temporary away?...Still thinking that Pops would be angry to you for disobey his last order? …... And so more he couldn't count, or imagine .
He knew that the answer to all the unspoken questions of Vista was "yes" , but his pride and position of new captian forced him to say "no" because , how could a crew like theirs would work well if their captain not mantain a strong face , or at least , in his case , a strong facade for them ?
But he knew that Vista was also there for something more , and he thanks it to close that moment between the two of them " Any report ,Vista ? " answered Marco to Vista inoring his question with the "strong leader mask" .Vista knows that his brother ignore his question , and that he wore that mask again , but he knew that Marco will ignore him or change the topic if he asked the same question again , so he limited himself to answer his captain question " Squardo is asking permission to come aboard " was the flower swordman simple response . Marco simply signed a little for himself and shaked his head " Still blaming yourself , eh , Squardo? " .
Squardo came every three months to present his respect to the fallen man , always bringing a bouquest of white roses to the " tempe " of the captain quarters . But all the Whiteberad pirates knew that he do this out of self pity , for he is blaming himself because he felt for the trick of stab Pops that damn Red Dog Admiral , Akainu (now the new Damn Flet Admiral , Sakazuki ) made . They had already forgive him , and they even told him themselfs , but he still couldn't come to forgive himself of what he did . But Marco didn't understand one thing , and it was that it was only two months of the last visit of Squardo , and he knew that Squardo was a man of habits, so , why was he there ?
The legendary Zoan fruit user , calmly walk throught the ship and positioned himself in the head of Moby Dick II so he could see Squardo 's ship . The swordman was positioned himself in the bow of his ship , and Marco couldn't help but notice that the Whitebear pirates ' allied wasn't bringing his usual offering of white roses and that he has some kind of letter in his hand " Permission to come aboard , Captain Marc-" " It 's Marco only " was the sharp and a little angry response of the devil fruit user . He did not like to be called captain if it wasn't absolutely necessary . He considered that the only man worthy of that title was their father , and not him " And yes , you can come aboard " was his response was a more calmed tone .
When Squardo was alreary aboard of the Moby Dick II , he was going to ask about that letter when he was interrupted" Heeeeyyy! Piiineappleee ! Permission to come aboaaaard ? " Shouted the indiscutable ( irritaing in Marco opinion ) and cheerful voice of the red heared emperor , Red – Hair Shanks , whose ship , the Red – Force , was coming towards the Moby Dick II at a big speed .
Many new recruited Whitebeard pirates screamed in fear thinking that they will be hitted by the emperor ship , but Marco knew better . That man will probably stop an inch from the Moby Dick II and laught it off . And , as he predicted , that drunkash pirate stop the Red Force on the left sight of their ship and jumped in the ship without his permission , again . Marco tried to fight the incoming headache piching his nose in exasperation . He sweared , that man and Ace 's little brother , Straw hat Luffy ( from the stories he heared about him and his actions in the war ) , were made for one another .
And there he was , that red-hair idiot , laughting off of his little prank . Shanks started to open his mouth , but Marco cut him off before he even speak " No , I don't " he said exasperated . Every time the red hair captain had come to shraer some sake with Pops , or for one of his usuals fights , he always asked him if he could join him , and he said no every time , but , of course , he continue to ask him to join him even knowing that he was now a captian .
Shanks put his hand in front of him in defense " Ok , ok , ok , no need to get angry , Marco " he said to calm Marco down . The Zoan user only shake his head of the emperor 's antics and center his attention to Squardo " So , Squardo , what are doing here ? " Marco wondered " It only has passed two months from your last visit , so , tell me , has anything happened ? " asked calmy to the swordman . He knows that Squardo , apart from his visits , wouldn't come to the ship if it wasn't important .
The light-pink wavy heared man only reased an eyebrow " What are you saying , Marco you request me to come " was his answer . Marco , could only reased his own eyebrow " What do you mean , Squardo ? I haven't request your presence " the phoenix informed him . The Whitebear pirates ' allied showed the letter to Marco " But you send me this letter that said that you need me to come to see you , and even has yor signature and all " was Squardo response . Before Marco could counter that affirmation , Shank started to laught " HA , Ha , hahahahaaa , what a coincidence , I got one too" he said after calming down . Red-hair take a letter out of his pocket , and showed it to Marco . " So , need my help with anything ? " He asked with a grin , but his tone hide a little of seriousness .
Marco look at the two letters and , as the swordmen said , the letters had his signature , or , in his opinion , what look like his signature . Marco knew for sure that he didn't write any letter , not even send anything . But this letters has a perfect imitiation of his signature , so , what that could mean ? and who did this ? " Maybe you write them and send them while you were sleepworking ? " came the little joking response of Haruta , the only female commander of the ship , who was foldind her hand while entering their conversation . A little muscle appeared in Marco forehead at his sister 's "joke" " I let you know , Haruta , that I had the proper rest I need , and that I don't "spleepwork" as you claim " Marco snaped at her , with the muscle still in his forehead . While Haruta was smirking and opening her mouth for a comeback , suddendly , both Izo , the crossdresser Whitebeard commander , and Ben Beckman , the Red Hair pirates ' first mate , come running to them . Before thier captains could asked them what happened , a bright light , so bright that all the pirates of both ships have to close or cover thair eyes , wrap both the Red Force and the Moby Dick II .
