Chapter 3 The prelude to Whitebeards

...…

Marine ford No ones pov….

Sengoku was on his way to his office when he heard a voice call for him.

" Admiral Sengoku, sir!"

Sengoku turned around and said nonchalantly "Yes Captain Yuto?"

The Captain held out two wanted posters, one for Fire Fist Ace, and the other was for Bloody Jewel Jasmine.

Bloody Jewel's poster was a close up so you could see Jasmine's purple eyes looking straight at the camera. She was giving a vicious, mad grin as her purple hair, that was tied into a ponytail, was caught just at the right moment blowing around her face and neck. The rest of the photo was chopped off.

Ace's poster had him in a close up as well giving a small smile as flames surrounded his face and you could see his hat and half of his beaded necklace.

"These are pirates who have been rapidly gaining power recently." Explained the Captain.

" D.? Where did he come from?" Asked Sangoku.

" We can't quite figure it out but even as a rookie, he has the power of the logia. And has become quite notorious especially after the incident at Saboday that has successfully blown over." Explained the Captain.

" That's troubling, and good news ,Captain. What about Jasmine? You got anything on her? Fay sounds familiar. Where have I heard it before?" Asked Sangoku.

The captain nodded and handed him another poster but this one had a black X in the middle so all you could see was a soft smile and blue eyes framed by blond hair. The bounty was 500,000,000 Barrie.

This made the 300,000,000 (Ace) and the 250,000,000 (Jasmine) bounty's look like a tiny spot.

Sangoku was about to ask why when he saw the name. "Fay Crystal, is her mother?"

"Yes sir, one of the revolutionist's former general Fay Crystal. We didn't think she had a child so no one ever crossed checked any of the wanted posters, until we learned that the child Jasmine had been reportedly saved in Saboday was named Crystal. It was most likely nothing but I still looked into it and here it is." The captain explained out loud but the explanation was for nothing.

Sengoku remembered reading and reporting the orders from the higher ups for the assassination of Crystal himself and cursed the damn person who did not complete their orders.

"You say that the Saboday incident has completely blown over, right?" He asked as he started walking, picking up his pace. He was now changing his course to Garp's office.

If anyone knew this D. kid. It would be Grap.

The captain nodded, handing Sengoku a folded up paper. "Yes sir."

Sengoku couldn't help but wonder if the world government had chosen to cover up the incident considering that if people heard that they were openly being attacked it would bring the dragons shame and everyone knows, hopefully, that'll never happen.

" Thank you, Captain. Enjoy the rest of the day off if you want, then tomorrow start digging up anything you can on this kid." Commanded Sengoku as he pointed at Ace's photo.

The Captain saluted, and exclaimed "Yes sir." than ran off.

Sengoku quickly walked in to Garps office and yelled without a moment's notice. " Damnit, Garp! You have something to do with this don't you?" Sengoku questioned as he held up Ace's wanted poster.

Garp grabbed the wanted posters and spit up almost all of his current drink. "That bastard." He mumbled to himself.

Sengoku yelled " Damnit, Garp! How is he related to you?"

Garp looked away and said under his breath. " I've never seen him before."

Sengoku sighed and rubbed his temple " Garp, you're a bad liar. Did you know he burned a Celestial Dragon? And has cause a lot of other problems?" Sengoku was starting to grow angry at his old friend.

Garp laughed loudly, ending the conversation. "Well then, that's his problem Sengoku."

Somewhere in the new world the Moby Dick.

" Such a dashing young man in the grand line." Laughed Whitebeard as he sat in his cabin.

Thatch looked over his shoulder and said "He refused the offer to join the warlords, some people also say he openly attacked a Celestial Dragon which was about time if I say so myself."

"How long have they been at this?" asked Whitebeard.

Thatch said nothing as he was lost in thought. He was thinking of a promise made a long time ago involving a former revolutionist general that was now brought up by the bounty poster of the second in command of the spade Pirates.

"They're still young. They shouldn't rush." Whitebeard exclaimed. Not noticing that his son did not respond.

φφφφφφφφφφφφφφφφφφφφφφφφφφφφφφφφφφφφφφφφφφφφφφφφφφφφφφφφφφφφφφφφφφφφ

Back with the Spade Pirates: Jasmine's pov.

I woke up feeling the familiar and relaxing waves rocking our boat.

Ok, that's good we weren't completely destroyed. Another good sigh escaped her lips, I'm also not dead it's always nice to wake up not dead.

Or I could be dead and this could be my heaven. I told ya I wouldn't let you die, and your heaven would be a ship ya? True you wouldn't let me die. Not yet ya,,,wait what? I doubt it that you would actually just let me die. Fine, ya doubt is a good quality of yours…Fuck off.

I blocked out the rest of it's thoughts and turned my head to see non-other then my captain. Sleeping in a chair.

Hmmmm, where's a marker when I need one. Oh well.

"Ace." I said my voice cracked. Aw man I'm thirsty. I placed my body wight on my arm pushing myself put of bed and felt a slight sting other then that there was no pain in my shoulder.

Ya like I said your healed…

"Ace. Wake up." I sighed. Man, I'm the one that was injured but I'm awake.

Your not actually injured any more ya…

"Ace, you dumb ass. Wake up." This time I was not so nice and said a little louder.

Ow that actually hurt my throat how long have I been out? I don't know ya I don't care for time ya…thank you but that was a question for myself.

I looked over at my bandaged shoulder. And shrugged again trying to move my arm man these bandages were not nice and very constricting. And even though I get healed it only heals the hole or wounds not the pain. But I have a high pain tolerance so I'm fine.

"ACE, YOU ASSHOLE. WAKE YOUR ASS UP!." I yelled again and threw my pillow at his face as I did so.

Ace woke up just in time for my pillow to connect to his face. He fell over in a big over dramatic way. He jumped up holding the pillow about ready to throw it back at me with a smile.

"Glad to know you're still a Bitc…." My stare stopped him mid sentence. I smiled telling him mentally, finish that word, but maybe I should let him finish just so I could throw another pillow at him.

Ya are the worst, Jasmine. He's obviously in there for a reason, ya…Yeah, to get a pillow in the face.….No, that's not what I meant ya.

" Alright Ace." I sighed. " I guess I deserved that, but I mean come on, don't sleep so heavily. I'm trying to get your attention over here." I pleaded.

He rolled his eyes " If you're done with your random mood swings I would like to tell what you missed." He explained.

If I could get up quick enough then I would try to kick him but I can't because I'm top lazy and there really isn't a real reason to kick him.

"Alright but first a glass of water." I asked softly with a fake smile and held out my hand.

Ace knew my smile was fake and the please was hollow but he nodded his head and walked out.

After he walked out I looked around trying to grasp my mind that were not frozen or lazered or charred to death. Then I began to tap my finger lightly on the side of my bed. Just sitting here, waiting for my glass of water.

I waited for what feels like an hour (Was actually 2 minutes)

"Ace?" I asked stumbling around the deck. I guess I must have been asleep for a long time too because I've lost some feeling in my legs. Oh well, it happens.

One of my crew mates attempted to say something, I should really learn their names, but I drowned him out because I was now staring at nothing but water and exotic fish swam around us. We were floating in the ocean. I mean, holy shit. We're inside a giant bubble in the ocean. I swear, I was smiling from ear to ear.

That's why he was taking long he knew I couldn't wait. So I would come out and look. That asshole. I closed my eyes and smiled. Then opened them again. To find Ace in front of me with a cup of water looking so dazed.

"Your…." I started to say 'you're an asshole' but stopped and shook my head grabbing the water and went to my usual place against the mass of our ship. I leaned against it and drank my water happily while Ace and the others. I really need to learn their names, tried to figure out what's wrong with me.

I watched the fish happily swim by. Ok, you're scaring me. Why are you smiling a lot. This is nice. I like it.

"Oi, what's wrong. Seeing you smile like that is scary." Ace asked, I guess he finally plucked up the courage to ask me whats going on.

"Hmm? Oh, sorry I was just thinking of ways to hurt people it's really fun you want to hear what I'm thinking." I explained losing my smile and bringing my light voice out.

Ace's eyes got big as he shook his head and turned around and started barking orders probably to act like he was doing so.

Truth is, I really do like this. The peace and quiet nothing can get us here its nice. but if the men knew my thoughts, who knows what they would say because I wasn't one to say mushy things such as that.

Have I asked about how long I was out and all that fancy stuff. Maybe I should do that?Ya don't think dumb ass. Right, will do, but first more water.

I took my last sip of water and walked to sit down on a bench that we had gotten built on the ship so we didn't have to all sit on barrels.

" So how long exactly have I been out?" I asked out loud I wasnt asking anyone in-particular. I sat down and just stared at the ocean above my head feeling calm. This was really relaxing.

"About 1 week." Someone answered. Wow, that's pretty…. Wait? My eyes almost popped out of my head and my jaw almost dropped.

"A…a..week?Why didn't anyone wake me up. Oh no, did we miss Fishman Island?" I began asking all these questions and freaking out.

Our doctor ran over to me and tried to force me to sit down but it was too late. I was already smacking Ace really hard as I tried to get answers from him.

Pour Ace he probably couldn't breathe but oh well he's flames and I wasn't choking him. But flames need oxygen to burn ya….. Oh yeah, oops .

I quickly letgo and looked down as Ace stepped back and rubbed his shoulder and neck area. Then he bowed deeply.

"I'm sorry we couldn't wake you up. Doc wouldn't let us because he said you're sleeping made you heal faster. So you missed it." My head dropped and I sagged my shoulders and walked to sit down again.

Well that sucks balls.

"Damn that was the only Island I had true interest in, but nooooo. That stinking dickface Celestial dragon went and shoot me…" That cause me to think about it, I didn't get to Dedickafy him.

"Ace." I yelled in a winey voice. He looked at me.

"Now what?" he asked he was probably getting mad. Hmmm, I wonder where I could go with , don't do that just ask questions.

"Well." I said as I started pouting. I didn't get to chop that dumb ass's balls off." Ace again started to yell at me.

"You can't do that to every guy you don't like. Its not natural, Jasmine!"

"Hey! She needs rest and peace. Not everyone yelling at her." yelled the Doc.

Hey, I appreciate the fact he did that but I know what I can and can't take. He is officially ignored.

"Ace why can't I, I mean I have swords. I need to use them and no one wants to fight me. I have to find some way to entertain myself." Wait, did I say that that sounds bad.

Ace looked at me again as his fist catching on fire. He started to come dangerously close to me…um too close….too close.

"Um I didn't mean it like that it just came out that way.( he still was approaching me. I balled my fists up. I don't know what for I don't plan on punching him. And I continued) I don't think it's entertaining I just mean there ball less cowards I'm just making sure they're not hypocrites." I tried to explain.

Too late I saw him lift his fist and it came down and then suddenly i felt a flick to my ear,

I rubbed my ear laughing a little realizing that it wasn't a punch. "Ow, the fuck you do that for." I wasn't worried about fire like I keep adding to my list as I remember fire doesn't hurt me.

That's because of me ya…. and i also think he didn't use any this time. No ya it was me all me...

"Your mind is too dark and I was trying to lighten it up." he said like that was obvious with a smile. I'm supposed to be the obvious one.

"Hahaha, everyday comedian over here. Give me another reason." I asked.

"I'm Captain and it's Captain's duty to correct their comrades behavior so I corrected your behavior." Wow, now he does something like that not before I did the things I did but afterwards. Oh well.

I saw his smile as everyone stared at us I couldn't help but smile too. Damn him I don't want to smile. I want to be mad. I really do but he was right. I'm not going to tell him that though.

"Ok, I'm sorry for being a pirate and doing what I want and all." I smiled lightly. I shouldn't be smiling, I'm trying to be a smart ass here.

"It doesn't it's not like the fire burns you anyway." Ace continued as he sat down on the bench next to me and I maneuvered myself to lie on the opposite side of the bench looking up at the bubble my legs over lapping his.

"You have a point there." I admitted defeat, but I will gain a victory somewhere.

Alright what was I talking about before this happened. Ya missing fishman island ya. Oh yeah, ok thanks. Did you just say thanks Ya?...

"So changing the subject why didn't ya'll wait for me to wake up." I asked Ace. I then turned my head to look around to see most of the crew slapping air.

"you can't change the subject like that Jasmine." Said Jaques, he was the third one on the crew so I remembered his name, but just like doc, He is now on my ignore list.

Ace went along with the change in subject. maybe it made him feel uncomfortable to be talking about me healing and immunity to fire. I only told him the basic stuff like fire has no effect and other things that I already stated and don't like repeating myself.

"We got some information on where whitebeard was. At Fishman island. When we rise we will be right next to the island. Their supposed to be on. Jasmine, I'm so close." He smiled as he explained and looked over at me.

I sighed. He's been going on about defeating Whitebeard for the longest time. He wants to be known. That's a step in to achieving his dream. Mine is freedom. And well I wont tell anyone this but I want to help achieve his dream. No one else will ever hear me say this.

I knew it ya!... Shut up.

I then focused my attention on the bubble. That's just so cool I wonder if I poked it what would happen.I reached for the bubble and started pushing it out it felt like well. Like a bubble. Ya Don't say?

"Hey Doc?" I asked. He looked at me he was a roundish plumpish man. I'm not really one to judge. He had short hair about maybe to his shoulders. He had round dish thingy on his head. He stopped talking and looked at me.

"Yes, Jasmine-san?" Why did he say san? I mean it's a show of respect but I feel weird.

Oh well. "Will my shoulder be fine by the time we fight the Whitebeards?" I asked.

Jasmine are you daft ya? I already told you I healed ya. Yes I know this Ace know this but no one else so I have to play along.

The doc shrugged "If you get a lot of rest and stop yelling at Captain-san then maybe." He explained.

"Ok then that means time to sleep!" I cheered. Ace slapped Air.

"You sleep more than I do and I have narcolepsy." He said sarcastically.

Jaques frowned and looked at me "Jasmine you are the only one who could give Captain a run for his money."

Ace and the other men all agreed with each other. I frowned and closed my eyes.

"Just for that, I'll go to sleep right here and if yall wake me. I'll….Um, I'll do something. Yeah something." I smiled and closed my eyes as I heard their laughter.

" Men, you know what this calls for?" Purposely yelled Ace. My eyebrow twitched.

"What?!" They all yelled back.

"PARTY!" Ace yelled and jumped up causing me to flip over and fall face first on the floor.

It suddenly went quiet. I jumped up and punched Ace hard on the head. The crew begin making a collectives of aw and ow sounds and cringed as he got back up with a big bump, growing on his head.

I gave him a smile and said "You can have your party now." He instantly grew wide eyed and began yelling for booze and music.

I shook my head and laid back on the bench. Oh well, this is going to be enjoyable.

Hehehe, Jasmine. Enjoy this ship, enjoy your crew, enjoy your captain.
