Whitebeards Siren
Being found in a ship wreck and taken in by the Whitebeard pirates, Akiyama Megumi didn't expect her high noble life to change so quickly but instead of being disappointed by it she over joyed by finally having a family.
Chapter 6: The Wedding
Ace stood in front of Whitebeard at dawn looking into the distance to see the Cherry Blossom Kingdom, the kingdom shinned in the rising sun the sky was completely clear, "Nice day for a kidnapping," Ace joked standing in front of Whitebeards chair smiling at the man.
"You and Marco will do a good job," Whitebeard smiled down at his son, "You will bring my daughter home.
"Will do Captain," Ace smiled and saluted mockingly to his Captain making him laugh.
Megumi sat in front of the mirror watching the servants scurry around her, after being a pirate for so long she felt odd being woken up by maids and not Marco grumbling about something and Ace snoring. She didn't like her morning tea, not without her and Thatch joking about the other two and her helping to make breakfast. It wasn't in her special cup either, her eyes watered and she tipped her head back slightly.
Only thing about this morning she was glad of that it wasn't her mother helping her get ready but maids she had never met before, she sighed wiping away the tears that collected in the corner of her eyes. "Miss are you alright," The woman who was curling her hair at the time asked, looking at the uneaten breakfast in front of the woman.
"Fine just fine," She mumbled holding the necklace in her hand.
Ace and Marco pestered Thatch for more breakfast, well more like Ace whining at Thatch and Marco just stood in the door lazily smirking, "But I need to be big and strong to rescue the princess," Ace whined trying to get another servicing out the chef.
"One she will kill you if she hears you call her princess again and two you eat the ships pantry in one sitting if we let you eat all you wanted… Marco…" Thatch looked over to Marco, "Bring her home mate."
"We will yoi," Marco smiled softly, "We aren't leaving here without her."
She left her breakfast untouched not feeling hungry and the tea barely had a slip before the cup had slipped from her hand and smashed on the floor. She couldn't stop shaking, 'for fuck sake Megumi, you are a Whitebeard pirate of the 2nd god damn fucking division, stop fucking shaking' she scolded herself watching the maid clean up the cup as her hair was piled on top of her head.
"Miss you should be more careful," the maid whispered to her as she swiped the wand across her eyelashes.
Megumi hated make-up and wanted to throttle the woman who was doing her make-up but she couldn't escape from this island, her lip twitched slightly into a sneer and her hands twitched in her lap ready to kill the woman.
"You are so lucky miss," 'Oh dear Gold D. Roger, kill me' "Marrying a marine like Akainu," 'I'm going to snap, just should have fought Garp,' "He's such a powerful-"
"WILL YOU SHUT THE GODDAMN FUCK UP!" Megumi shouted losing her cool, the mirror and glass of champagne that had been sitting next to the hair brushed smashed. "I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT IT! DO YOU UNDERSTAND!"
The maid froze looking in shock at her, "Y-yes M-miss." Luckily she scurried off out the room, most likely going to report to her father about what had just happened.
Ace sat back on the bed looking through Marco's photo album smiling softly at Megumi's smiling face as the photo he was looking at was her asleep next to the fire of the winter island they were on a few weeks ago. "Why didn't you fight them Megumi, you are strong… not as strong as gramps but you could have escaped," he rested his head back burying his face in the pillow breathing in, pineapple, strawberry and cinnamon, a weird combination but that was them.
The door opened and Ace looked up, Marco smiled at him, "Let's get our Siren back."
Megumi was practically gasping for breath as the corset was pulled tighter holding onto the poster of the bed as the corset strings was pulled tightly, "Fuck," She hissed under her breath well what she had left of a breath.
"Miss, are you ok?" The one tightening the dress asked.
Megumi was not in the mood for stupid questioning today and her hands tightened on the bed, "Fine," She breathed as the tugging stopped, and the bow was tied and the dress was slipped on over the top of the corset. She turned to look at the mirror and felt her heart stop, she didn't recognise herself anymore the corset was a sweetheart neck line with jewels across the top of the corset, the fabric bunched up around her knees but the back was long with a train, white stockings and white heels completed the outfit.
She wanted Ace… Marco… Grandpa… Thatch… Izo… anyone of the crew, her eyes watered again wanting away from this hell. She managed to slip the necklace into her corset without anyone noticing, a choker sat round her neck hiding the scar about three rows of diamonds took away the view of the scar.
Marco jumped up off the deck turning his arms into the blue fiery wings and glided above Ace, "BRING HER HOME!" He heard the crew yell from behind them, he watched as Ace started up the little yellow boat striker and practically zoomed off in front of him.
"Come on Pineapple," Ace yelled back at him, "Getting old are we."
"Oh you're on kid," Marco smirked slightly and soared up higher in to the air.
Whitebeard sat in his chair in front of the mast of the ship watching the two ride off towards the island, "Bring our girl home boys."
Both boys heard him and smiled, "We will Gramps," They both tilted their heads down, "We will."
Megumi paced the room from one end to the other, it had been half an hour since she'd been left to her thoughts and the window was looking like a bloody good option to jump off, the last thing that was added was her veil, which had been secured into the bun with a clip of some kind she really wasn't paying attention, two layers of the fabric reached her elbows down her back and the one across her face just went down to her chest.
"What the hell is taking them so long," She muttered looking at the door again, wanting to get this over and done with.
The door finally opened and Vice admiral Garp smiled at her, "Ready for your big day?" He asked eating a doughnut.
'Where the hell did he get a doughnut from and I was stuck with bloody fruit,' She thought looking at the treat, "I guess so… where's my father."
"Ah well, we thought it would be a better idea for me to escort you to the church we don't want any pirates kidnapping you do we," He laughed winking at the younger girl, she smiled softly under the veil to the Hero of the Marines.
She could only nod as she took his offered arm, her hand clenching into the fabric of the marine uniform, "I don't want this…" She muttered softly as they walked out of the hotel room that she was getting ready in.
"We all have to do things in our lives, which we don't want to do," Garp muttered.
"Like hunting family?" She asked. The old veteran marine nodded his head slightly at her, "Your family is powerful Vice Admiral Garp," She smiled softly thinking of Ace, "You should be proud."
"Oh I am," Garp laughed, "Just the brats are on the wrong side."
She couldn't help but smile and laugh at him, "They most likely think the same about you."
Marco landed on the ground between a large forest of cherry blossoms trees, Ace coming up right beside him and both took off running into the forest, "The Old man said that if we keep on running south we will come to the grave yard behind the church," Ace yelled over the sound of their pounding feet and the wind whipping by them.
"The faster we get there the quicker we can get out of here," Marco replied, "The quicker we can see her again."
Ace nodded in agreement and picked up his speed, both leaving trails of dust and blue and orange flames behind them.
Megumi looked up at the large wooden doors in front of her, she was shaking violently and felt like she was going to be sick, "You will be fine," Garp smiled and the wedding march began, the doors opened to reveal the room most of them filled with Marines, the priests, her parents and a few people she had no clue who the hell these people were. Recently she dreamt of her wedding, to both the boys, the old man walking her down the aisle she stood between both of them and they were happy. Not in hell marrying a marine who wished to destroy everything she loved and kill everyone who loves her.
Akainu stood blank face looking down at her on Garps arm as he walked her down towards her doom, 'Strike me down,' tears collected in her eyes and she felt one roll down her cheek but she didn't move to wipe it away, one hand was clenched on Garps arm the other in her skirt. He wore a black suit which was a change from the red one he normally wore, but he kept the admiral coat over his shoulders and the marine cap on his head.
She stood in front of the small steps that led up to the pewter, "Who is to give the bride away?" The priest asked, Akainu stepped down towards her.
"I am," Garp answered handing her arm over to Akainu, before leaning down to whisper in her ear, "Whitebeards flag ship has been spotted north to the island."
Her eyes widened slightly and she looked back at him as he smirked at took his seat, the girls wide eyes looked up at the stain glass window as she stepped up the steps with Akainu to stand in front of the priest. He was gentle which surprised as he lifted the veil up over her head to see her face, his face remained blank. 'I swear his face is frozen,' ran through her mind as the priest started to read from the book in his hand.
Ace froze as he heard the wedding march softly in the distance, "MARCO!" He yelled.
"YEAH I HEAR IT!"
A few minutes later after the boost of adrenalin voth burst into the grave yard of the church, making their way round to the front of the church, "Let's give them a warm welcome," Ace smirked at the older man lifting up his leg which was burning a bright burning orange.
"I thought you would never ask," Marco lifted up his leg burning bright blue.
Megumi clenched her hand tighter into her skirt as the words, "If any one opposes to this marriage speak now or forever hold your peace." They weren't coming where they, the warmth of their arms she will never feel again, the lazy smirk or Marco and the bright grin of Ace. "Well if no one has to-" The doors flew up shots of orange and blue flames filled the room, Megumi twirled on her heel to feel a large hand come down on her shoulder.
"ACE! MARCO!" She cried seeing the two.
"Now who said you could get married," Ace questioned tipping his hat up to her.
"I don't believe the old man gave Mr stone face here permission," Marco smirked.
Gasps filled them room as the first two division commanders stood in the broken door way to the church, "We object to this marriage," They both glared slightly at the priest how was frozen in fear.
"Ace," His grandfather stood and turned to his grandson, "You know I can't let you do this," He stated.
"HOW DARE YOU!" Her mother screeched at them, "THIS IS MY DAUGHTERS WEDDING!"
It was Marco who actually chuckled smiling at the pink haired woman who looked nothing like the woman they fell for, but he could still tell it was her, "You look amazing Megumi," Ace smirked and winked at her.
She felt the hand on her shoulder tighten slightly as she laughed tears slipped from her eyes as her hand reached for them, "I'M SORRY!" She cried out.
"We forgive you, yoi," Marco smiled at her as he walked towards her his feet leaving scorch marks in the carpet, "But we will never forgive him for taking you," he looked at the stone faced marine, "Give her over Akainu there is no need for a fight."
"You oppose the world's justice," Akainu stepped in front of her, the only movement that wasn't for beside Garps and the wedding crashers. "You will die if you step closer."
Marco threw himself up in to the air arms blazing blue flames, he dived down onto the podium sending a kick at the admiral it didn't hurt the man be sent him away from her as she watched Ace charge towards Garp. "Marco," She smiled wrapping her arms around his neck, his wings engulfed her, the flames not hurting.
"We got you Megumi," He smiled down at her kissing her temple, "We got you."
"MARCO!" Ace yelled as he dodged his grandfather, the older man smiled slightly at him not wanting to hurt his grandson but kept up the act, "We got to get going!"
"Megumi," The voice of the admiral snapped the two's heads up, "You will stay were you are."
"She's not a toy Akainu," Marco stated pushing her behind him, signalling for her to go as she ran down the aisle, Marines finally made their moves and went to attack the woman, she ducked under one who tried to grab her and swung her leg under his even with the wedding dress she was able to dodge attacks easily and put a few in herself. She ducked past the veteran and grabbed Ace's hand, "She is a member of the Whitebeard 2nd Division pirates," Marco kept his distance knowing the man was made of lava and kept his eyes on the two, "She belongs with us and not stuck to you."
Ace held onto her hand tightly and smashed his lips down onto hers grinning, as they parted he muttered against her lips, "I may now kiss the bride."
"Later," She smiled, "Thank you Garp," She whispered at the man as Ace pulled her away running back towards the doors.
"She never belonged to the world government," Marco was backing up towards the glass, "We are free people with our own choices," he smiled watching her as she stopped Ace and pulled off the shoes throwing them behind her, both shoes hit two marines on the head making them slump down, "Family is important! Whitebeard Pirates are family!"
Ace placed a hand round her back and one under her knees picking the woman up and taking off out the church as Marco sprung up and crashed through glass window. Both took off North hearing the marines closing in on them, Ace jumped onto Striker and powered the small ship up, Megumi securely in his arms as they made their way back to the Moby dick.
The shouting of the marines were heard loudly across the sea as they moved closer and closer towards the Moby Dick, she felt safe even though was just a few feet right above the sea water she felt safe.
Her arms wrapped tightly around Aces neck burying her face into his neck as he jumped back onto the Moby dick, Marco landed next to them she was able to put her feet down onto the ground before his arms wrapped around both of them tightly, "Never do that again."
"I won't… I won't leave, not again," Her voice was soft head resting back on his chest.
"Megumi," Thatch broke the three apart sweeping the small woman into his arms twirling her slightly emitting laughter out of her, "You're back."
"Thatch put me down," She smacked his shoulder slightly, the man set her back on her feet and she turned to Whitebeard and bowed, "Sorry Captain."
The man's laughter boomed around them, "You did well protecting your family Megumi," He patted her head slightly, "Come on let's get to safe waters to celebrate your return."
Both Marco and Ace smiled at the her wrapping both arms around her pulling her back into their warmth kissing her temple, "You look quite good in a wedding dress?" Ace laughed, "Your necklace?"
"Oh…" Her hand dipped down into her cleavage, both men's eyebrows raised, "What…" She pulled the chain out all three charms safe on the chain. "Think I was gonna loose this," she laughed softly.
Both men smiled and Marco took the necklace from her hands putting it back on her neck letting the collar of diamonds fall to the floor, he cupped her chin softly and kissed her lips, Aces lips connected with her cheek. She blushed brightly but smiled as she heard the crew cheer, there's no place like home.
AN: See I wasn't going to make her marry the bastard. I haven't decided if this will turn into M rated yet, this isn't going to be a full story more one shots, her in the war… which I will be changing slightly just cause I cried so much when Ace died I don't think I will be able to handle writing it. I'm open for ideas of one shots to do throughout this story because I would like this series to go on for a while, I respect your views on my work but please don't be harsh cause honestly you wouldn't like me if I ripped into your work Please review and tell me what you think.
