Kailee skipped along the sand path, smiling widely. "I am such a fangirl..."
She bumped into a large chest, sending her back onto her butt. "Woah! What's the big idea?"
Kailee looked up to come face to face with Smoker. Her face lit up. "Smokey!"
Smoker stared at her confused. "What did you call me?"
"This is so cool! Best. Day. Ever!" She screeched before latching onto him, arms wrapped around his torso.
Smoker choked in surprise, almost swallowing his cigars. "What are you doing?!"
"Hugging you! Duh! You've really been love deprived, haven't you?" Kailee asked innocently.
"Wha-?! No! Get off of me!" Smoker wished the girl wasn't a civilian because he really wanted her off of him. He didn't want to hurt the kid.
The girl looked up at him with sparkling eyes. "Can I read the electromagnetic brain waves of your mind? I really want to understand how your mind works!"
Smoker had no idea what that was. "What?"
"Oh, I guess you guys aren't that advanced in technology. I forgot! Anyway, why do you insist on chasing the Strawhats? Is it because they're pirates or is your reason a bit more personal? Is it your pride? You know they're not bad people at all, but you continue to try and convince yourself they are so you have justice to capture them! Is it the loyalty to your job as a marine or can you not let the fact go that they were the first pirates to escape you? Or is it something that goes deeper?" Kailee ranted, her mouth going at speeds that most deemed impossible.
"How would you know that, kid? And what would you know about what I think?" Smoker glared at her.
The girl laughed, hugging him tighter. "I know everything!"
Smoker frowned suspiciously. "Devil Fruit?" His mind immediately wondered if she could read his mind by touch. If that's why she was hugging him...
Smoker pushed her off gently. "Look, kid-"
"I lose you for two minutes and this is what I find!" A male voice yelled out.
Smoker's cigars dropped from his mouth as the Fire-Fist Ace came running toward them.
"Ace!" The female laughed, waving. "I found Smokey! Isn't that great?! Did you know that-"
"Oh no!" Ace groaned. He looked towards Smoker. "I know you're a marine, but I am so sorry you had to run into her. Nobody deserves that fate."
Kailee huffed childishly. "You're so mean, Ace!" She stuck out her tongue.
Smoker looked between the two of them. "You know each other?"
Ace sighed. "Unfortunately."
Kailee smiled. "Yep! Ace is my big brother, the only family I have left 'cause I'll probably never see my parents or other siblings ever again! Isn't that great?"
Smoker raised his eyebrows at the girl's positive tone and expression for such a depressing topic. Ace's expression seemed to become less annoyed and more understanding. "Let's go, Kailee."
Smoker gave them a look. "And what makes you think I'm just letting you go?"
Kailee giggled. "I really hope this works!" The female grabbed Ace's arm and the sound of fluttering could be heard before both pirates disappeared.
Echoing laughter resounded as Smoker let out an enraged yell.
Both appeared outside of a small bar. Ace stumbled forward while Kailee wobbled a bit. "What in the world was that?!"
Kailee laughed. "That was something Dean likes to call 'angel mo-jo'! Technically, while I can fly with my wings, I can also 'teleport' with them in a sense. See, my wings, while they can't be seen, are still on my back. They are just in another dimensional plane of existence. The fluttering noises before we disappeared means that we just jumped through two dimensions to 'teleport' here. It's why you feel disoriented."
"And how did you figure all of that out?!" Ace barked. "You couldn't even fly straight before!"
"Well, you know how I told you and Marco about the gods in my world? Yeah, well one God made this world with other angels and demons. The angels did the thing I just did, so I thought I'd try it myself," Kailee explained.
Ace sighed. "From now on, I'm just going to take whatever happens with stride and not ask."
Kailee chuckled. "That'd be best."
It was a few hours later when Smoker finally found the two pirates in a bar and eating of all things!
"Is this what you two were doing while I spent three hours searching for you?!" Smoker growled.
Ace, his face stuffed with food, managed to get out something that sounded like, "Ah, ety uhm," which Kailee quickly translated to, "Yeah, pretty much."
Suddenly, Ace fell face first into his food. The people in the bar cried out in shock. "Ah! He's dead!"
Kailee just laughed, kicking her legs underneath the counter. "Silly Ace!"
Suddenly, Ace popped back up, food covering his face. "Uh?"
"He fell asleep!" Everyone shouted in shock.
Kailee snickered. "You got a little something on your face."
"Where?" Ace asked.
"Everywhere!" Kailee cackled.
Smoker glowered at them. "Fire-Fist Ace, Second Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, I-"
Smoker was cut off as Ace stood up and pulled Kailee with him. "Look-"
Kailee heard a familiar voice from outside, yelling for food. Kailee gave Ace a smirk as she jumped out of the target zone. She saluted him. "Have a nice flight, Ace!"
"Huh? Wh-" Ace couldn't get anything else out as Luffy slingshotted himself into the bar, knocking Smoker and Ace through about twenty walls.
"Food! Food! Food! Get me food, mister!" Luffy chanted, quickly plopping himself down where Ace was previously sitting.
Kailee continued to laugh. "Oh, I know Ace is going to kick my ass after this, but it was so worth it!"
Luffy gave her a strange look, stuffing his face with the meat the horrified bartender had given him in hopes not to make the oblivious teen angry. "You're weird, lady."
Kailee put her attention onto the rubber teen, smiling. "Hi, Luffy!"
"You know me?" Luffy's eyes widened in awe. "I don't remember meeting you."
Kailee laughed, but turned around to see Ace standing up, staring at Luffy with excited eyes.
"Lu-!"
Kailee cackled as Ace's face was shoved down into the dirt by Smoker's hand. "Strawhat!"
"Hey, Smokey!" Kailee and Luffy waved in sync.
"Don't call me that!" Smoker growled. "You're coming with me, Strawhat!"
"I'm hungry! Let me eat!" Luffy whined.
"You, too, girl!" Smoker pointed at Kailee.
Kailee pouted mockingly. "Who? Me? What did I do?"
"You're a pirate!" Smoker hissed.
"Who said I was a pirate? I'm traveling with Sunshine, sure, but I never claimed I was a pirate," Kailee smiled.
"You-!"
"But I guess being a pirate sounds like loads of fun! Sure, I'm a pirate!" Kailee giggled.
"I'm capturing both of you!" Smoker barked.
"Too slow!" Kailee laughed as she pointed to Luffy, who had already stuck most of the bar's food into his mouth and was running out the door.
"Strawhat!" Smoker yelled.
Kailee laughed and lunged past Smoker to pick up Ace and teleport away.
Kailee's going to get Ace killed one day. She loves seeing him suffer... Bye my doggies!
