I don't know if you guys have read the latest chapter of One Piece (909) but Marco is back and I'm super excited for it. We even get to learn that he was the ship's head doctor. So that probably means that division one were all of the doctors and nurses. I also assume that division four were the cooks. But I honestly can not think of what divisions two, three, five to sixteen were though. So if anyone has any head canons about what the divisions were I would like to hear them. And do not worry I'm not going to spoil the recent plot of One Piece.
Chapter 3 - Birthday Surprise part 1
Today was Rose's fourth birthday. Now Marco would have been excited and getting ready to party with the rest of the crew if it was not for one minor annoying detail. A certain annoying red haired pirate captain had decided that he was wanting to hold a meeting with Whitebeard today. He could already feel the massive headache that the bastard was going to cause him. He sighed and turned around in his seat to check on the birthday girl. She was currently drawing pictures of all of the members she could think of. Of course looking at them you probably would never be able to actually tell who it was supposed to be but that did not stop everyone from enjoying them. Marco himself has received quite a few of her pictures.
Marco sighed and stood up slightly stretching. Rose stood up ready to follow him. Since learning to walk Rose has had a habit of following him around like a little chickling. Which has furthered his nickname of mother hen.
"Ma I'm hungry…." Rose told Marco as she grabbed onto his pant leg looking up at him.
"Then let's go to the gallery and get a snack, yoi." Marco said smiling down at her.
She held onto his sash as he walked to the gallery. As usual the gallery was full of people. Marco picked up Rose and sat her in her highchair where she stared him down. They will probably have to switch her to a normal chair or a booster seat since she has been saying she is a big girl and didn't need to be in highchair any more.
"Wait here Rose. I'm going to get you some food from the kitchen, yoi." Marco told Rose as he headed into the kitchen.
Inside the kitchen they were busy preparing food for the party tonight. He spotted Thatch in the middle of making a stew.
"Hey Mother Hen. Is your little chickling hungry for a snack?" Thatch asked glancing over at him.
"Yea, yoi." Marco said.
Thatch smiled and pointed at a plate with some fruits and other snack food. Marco thanked him and took the plate out to Rose where he saw a few of the crew members were talking to her. Though she did not seem to be paying attention to them and was just watching Teach from the 2nd division eat his cherry pies. Teach himself did not seem to notice that he was being watched and kept on eating his fill of pie. She only looked away when Marco set the plate he was holding in front of her.
"Go ahead and eat, yoi." Marco ordered Rose.
She quickly polished off the plate not leaving a single crumb behind. Marco watched with a bit of wonder on how she could eat so fast and where she was storing all of that food. When she was finished Marco put the plate with the stack of other dirty dishes and let Rose out of her highchair. She looked up at Marco before walking towards the deck.
"Where are you headed to little chickie, yoi?" Marco asked following closely after her.
"Pops, it is story time." Rose said as she waddled towards whitebeard's chair.
Marco picked her up and took her over to whitebeard's chair where he as usual drinking sake. Rose jumped out of Marco's grip when they arrived and scaled his leg to sit in his lap.
"Gurarararara. Hello chickling are you here for your story?" Whitebeard asked as he set his cup down and smiled down at her.
"Yep! I want to hear another story about the Pirate King!" Rose yelled excitedly.
"It seems he is your favorite pirate." Whitebeard questioned.
"He isn't my favorite pirate. Pops is my favorite, but I like his adventures." Rose explained.
Whitebeard let a happy smile appear on his face before launching into one of the many stories he hand of his old drinking mate. He was about to finish telling the tale when he heard one of his many sons aboard saying that the Red Force was docking next to him.
"Those who are new step back, yoi." Marco ordered the newer recruits.
"Permission to board Whitebeard?" Asked a cheeky voice from the ship next to the Moby.
"Permission granted brat." Whitebeard said looking at the red haired man who had jumped aboard.
"Don't cause trouble for me Shanks, yoi." Marco told the red haired pirate captain.
"Marco! Come join my crew!" Shanks asked happily as he held Marco's hand.
"Never, yoi." Marco said as he pulled his hand away from Shanks to go and stand over next to his captain.
"Gurararara. So why are you here brat?" Whitebeard asked looking at Shanks.
"I came here to bring you some of this sake I was given and I came to ask why you have been laying low." Shanks asked seriously looking up at Whitebeard.
Whitebeard opened his mouth to tell Shanks but Rose decided at that very moment to jump off of Whitebeard's lap and onto Shanks. Luckily for everyone Shanks was able to catch her before she hit the ground and hurt herself.
"Well I guess this explains why you guys have been laying low." Shanks said looking over Rose than looked up trying to determine whos kid it was.
"She is still a bit too young to be fighting right now so we have been in safer areas away from danger until she can fight brat."
"Though I'm a bit curious who the kids parents are. From the blonde hair I would want to say Marco." Shanks asked glancing up at Whitebeard as he shifted his hold on Rose.
"Layla is her mother though she never told us who the father was." Marco told Shanks as he walked over to take Rose from Shanks.
Though when Marco grab Rose to take her back from Shanks but this just caused her to hold onto Shanks' shirt tighter. Marco blinked and tried to pull her off but she just held on tighter. Now if she was a normal kid Marco would have been able to pull her off of Shanks, but sadly she was not. She was much stronger than normal person. Well Marco was still much stronger than Rose he could not use his full force or he could hurt her. So Marco settled with glaring angrily at Shanks. Shanks just returned the glare with the smuggest look Marco has ever seen.
"God I want to punch you in the face, yoi." Marco told Shanks
"Don't hurt him Ma!" Rose yelled at Marco clinging even tighter to Shanks.
"Guess she likes me better." Shanks said as he snuggled Rose gloating to Marco.
Whitebeard laughed well watching his first son struggle not to attack Shanks.
"Well now that you know why we are in safer areas leave. We have other important matters tonight." Marco said eager to get rid of him.
"Today is my birthday! We are having a party! You have to be there too!" Rose told Shanks happily.
"Well only if Whitebeard allows it." Shanks told Rose giving her a smile.
"Can he stay? Please…." Rose asked Whitebeard giving him her best puppy dog eyes.
Whitebeard made the mistake of looking her in the eyes. Of course he could not say no to that face, no one could.
"Fine, the brat can stay for the party tonight."
"YAY! Thanks Oyaji!" Rose said happily.
Marco let out a loud sigh, his headache was already pounding having him here would make it even worse. Though if Rose was happy than he wouldn't be against Shanks staying for the party.
