What will happen?
I was walking in the middle of the ocean. I now wore a new tattoo on my right shoulder blade. It was a blue dragon breathing fire onto a red pearl. Helga gave it to me before I left. Instead of wearing the usual T-shirt, I wore a navy blue halter top. It stung to have anything worn over it and I was also proud of it. I had my golden brown hair tied up with the light blue scarf Girta bought me to replace my old bandanna.
I see an island up ahead and the sun was setting. It was the perfect time to go inland at a time that no one can see you walking on the water. The downside was that the marines were here. I was going to have to be careful. For being a part of both the Straw Hat Pirates and the Fire Pearl crew, I had a sizable bounty just for associating with them. I don't like how unfair the marines are. I didn't even do anything against the law. Hell, none of any of my crews have done anything wrong. Some marines are just as bad as some of the people they hunt and if not then some are worse then the people they hunt.
I set foot onto the island. I didn't even realise how close to land I was until I was on it. I hope no one saw me. It would be something fo the marines to find out if I could walk on water. I hope the rumor of my abilities didn't get to them. I definitely wouldn't want the marines after me. Then my wanted posters would say: WANTED: MORGAN MARISOL SEAMORE ALIVE! Just so I'd have to kiss the marines with devil fruit powers. I don't want that! Next thing you know, they'll be trying to get something more than a kiss.
I pass by the bar with a hooded jacket on. I peeked in to see if they're average marines or if someone is highly known. I hoped they were just average but I had no such luck tonight. Smoker was among them. I've heard of him and I hoped he's never heard of me. My luck must have been jynxed that night.
"MORGAN! MORGAN IS OUTSIDE!" one of them shouted.
"Damn!" I said running out towards the docks.
I allowed myself to be cornered at the end of a dock. If they don't know my powers then they either will or think I'm dead on what I'm about to do... but then Ace will think I'm dead if he doesn't already. I heard a rumor that the Straw Hat Pirates trashed Buggy's crew and Buggy nearly drowned to death. I don't know the fatalities but I guess they don't know what has happened to me when I was dropped into the shark infested waters. I guess I'll have to risk letting the marines know of my powers and in doing so, inform the rest of the world that I'm alive. Smoker came out of the crowd.
"Hello, Morgan. Time to die." he said as smoked came from his arm.
"Time to die? I'm not the one with the risk of having lung cancer here. Don't tell me when to die, Smokey!" I spat.
I seemed to have hit a nerve. I think he just hated the fact that I just talked back rather then the insults getting to him. I'm sure he's heard worse than that. I got impatient. He was taking too long. I back out and step off the dock and into the water.
"Does it take you that long to process an insult? You are a dumbass." I said before running across the ocean and then I jumped and dove.
I guess I was spending the night under water tonight.
The marines searched for me all around the island. I quickly got supplies and then got out of there. I wasn't about to try my luck by fighting smoker.
I find Shanks' ship docked at another island two months later. Maybe he's seen my freinds lately. I step onto the island and walk towards the tavern nearest to the docks. Sure enough, they were in there.
I sat down next to Shanks and he nearly choked on his drink.
"Y-you*coughs* you!" he said.
"Me" I said.
"You're alive!"
"Yes I am. If you and the Straw Hat Pirates thought I was dead then I'm very disappointed in you guys. You can't get rid of me that easily." I said.
He laughed out of releif.
"Wait till they hear this! We'll take you to them!" he said.
Then I see gramps by the docks. He had a serious look on his face.
"Give me a minute." I said.
I walk out to Gramps and hug him.
"Child... I must tell you something... I am Nareus, gaurdian of the deep abyss." he said.
"I knew you were something as special as that." I said.
He seemed taken aback by something. He backed away.
"My name doesn't mean anything to you?" He asked.
"Should it?" I asked confused.
"What about Jack Seamore?" he asked.
"That was the name of my father... He died in a boat accident."
Nareus shook his head.
"Ask around about that name, child. You might be suprised about who he is. I brought you here for another reason." He said before diving underwater.
Confused, I walk back into the tavern and sat back down next to Shanks.
"Do you know who Jack Seamore is?" I asked.
Once again, Shanks choked on his drink but he spat it out this time.
"Where did you hear that name?" he asked.
"Gramps told me to ask about him. Who was he?" I asked again.
Shanks took a minute to cough up his drink and compose himself before he started talking.
"He was once a great marine but then he turned into being a pirate after a run in with something. He was thought to be the son of the deep sea gaurdian, Nareus." He said.
"Wha? Nareus is-! How can he..." I said trying to find the right words.
"He can take on a human form. But it was only a rumor. Jack had a bounty that almost equaled Gol D. Roger's. He nearly did but he suddenly disappeared for awhile. He recently appeared again. About five months ago. His crew and ship also are still with him. He is a fearsome fighter I heard and he's not someone you want to run into, that's for sure. It's said that he killed a school of sharks on his own and that he controls a great beast that breaths fire and can live under water. Why the face, Morgan?" he asked suddenly.
"... That man... is my father." I said.
Shanks was shocked.
"Th-that means... The walrus you talk to is Nareus! He is your grandfather!" he said.
"And I just found out about all of this..."
Shanks took a minute to compose himself again.
"Everyone is going to be shocked." he finally said.
I get up.
"I have to find him." I said.
"What about everyone else? They're worried." Shanks said.
"Tell them I'm fine and give them these. But the one with the seal on it is only for Ace." I said handing him two letters.
I wrote them in case I had any possible way of telling them that I'm okay. I grab my things and head for the door.
I have been tracking my father for five months now. I'm turning seventeen today. I found a way of intercepting some of the messages that marines send back and forth to each other without being detected.
I am in a foggy area where you couldn't see a pillar of stone until you hit it. No sign of a ship.. in fact the water was calm and glass smooth. This part of the ocean was known for it but it made me even more uneasy. This place was so still that it sent a chill down my back. Then I hear a loud explosion.
The water was disturbed. I guess the marines had found my father. I run towards the explosion.
In the clearing was the Black Dragon, my father's ship. The ship was mostly black accented with silver and blood red coloring. The jolly roger was a skull with a dragon coiled around it and the bones were replaced by red swords. I remembered that on a closer look of the Burning Pearl pirates' jolly roger, the eye sockets were also on fire and one tooth was red. For some reason the jolly roger on my father's ship reminded me of it. I also noticed that it also had fangs.
It seems that it was really my dad that found the marines and his crew made short work of their ship. I walk up next to the ship to get a closer look. The ship looked dark and threatening... like it would come to life and eat you. Then I get grabbed by something and it pulled me up to the ship. The crew had found me and I didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing. A man with dark hair and dark eyes had caught me with a hooked pole. He got me by the back of my shorts. The crew was mostly dressed in black and they were accented with colors that the men chose. The man that caught me accented his clothes with red. His skin was pale. He looked like he was sick but his hold on me proved otherwise. He was about in his early thirties. He grabbed ahold of me as soon as I was on board.
I struggled in his grasp and he chuckled.
"What were you doing out there, girl? It's not safe to be walking alone in the ocean like that." he said.
"Yeah.. It's not everyday you see a girl walking on water is it?" I asked.
Then the men just realized I was walking on the water before they grabbed me.
"Okay... were is the thing you were floating on. There had to be something to make it look like that." he said.
"I wasn't standing on anything other than the water." I said.
"Do I look like an idiot to you?"
"Do you really want me to answer that?"
"Why you little-"
"What is she doing here?" a low and assertive voice asked.
"Sir, we found her on the water. She claims that she was walking on the water." he said.
"Is that so?"
The man made his way through the crowd. He was a tall and muscular man with blue eyes similar to my cerulean eye. His hair was a dark brown color. He grabbed my shoulder firmly.
"Who are you?" he asked.
I gulped. He had to be one of the most tallest and most intimidating man I have ever seen. His hand made my shoulder seem small. I composed myself after a minute.
"I am Morgan Marisol Seamore." I said boldly.
His grip on my shoulder tightened.
"Hmf! Impossible! The Morgan I knew died at birth." he said.
"What?" I said in disbelief.
"That's why I came back. I had no reason to stay in that world anymore. The only reason I stayed was because I fell in love. But now she's dead because she died giving birth to Morgan. I do admit though... you do look like my wife." he said.
Can't this guy see it? Or was he too stubborn to. Then he noticed my necklace. He grabbed it.
"I gave this to her long ago. How did you get this? I even made it myself." he said.
I see gramps in the distance. He was swimming as fast as he could. My father seemed to get mad. I must have gotten my cold rages from my mother because he was all but smoking from rage.
"You stole it! I ought to ha-"
Suddenly, gramps jumped out of the water and he landed right infront of me... in his human form.
I heard that he was bigger than Whitebeard but I never thought it was meant to be literal. He made my father look like a dwarf. He had long shaggy silver hair and his mustache looked similar as his whiskers did as a walrus except that it was longer. He was more muscular and had more scars, including a big one on his back that I never noticed before. It stretched from his left shoulder to his right hip. His eyes were still blue as ever.
He looked... pissed. He was staring at my father with a cold stare that caused him to freeze. Gramps punched him in the face. None of his crew stopped him. They knew better than to get in the way of a mad ocean gaurdian.
"YOU IDIOT! I brought her here! She is your daughter. Her aunt and uncle were too selfish to allow you to have her so they lied! Those papers you signed for them allowed them full custody. She's been told you were dead for all her life and then she finds you and this is how you greet her? I sometimes wonder if her uncle was saving her from you! Are you still that saddened by the loss of your wife that you can't even try to think this girl is your daughter?" He snarled coldly.
I stood corrected. I got my cold rage from him. My father had the normal hot rage but gramps and I had a cold rage. I have a feeling that I'm also going to be apart of another crew.
It's been a week since I joined the Black Dragons. I got a huge apology from my father. He was pretty much on his knees and begging forgivness. His crew never saw him act in such a way. My father has appointed me to learn how to fight. His first mate, Juno, was teaching me an art of fighting. He was also the man that pulled me onto the ship.
The fact that I was the captain's daughter didn't mean he would treat me any differently then he would any of his pupils. He was tough and had an ironhand over me while training. My only real order was to do as he says. That was all my father asked of me.
Dad gave back my necklace. He added another pendant to it. It had a white pearl on it and one both sides were dragons coiled around different colored saphires. The left saphire was blue and the right saphire was orange that had a tint of pink if it caught the light right. It turns out that he makes jewelry as a hobby. Who would have thought? The legendary Jack Seamore had a hobby that involved jewelry. He was very gifted though.
Another month later, he decided to show me around his office. He had some of his greatest works coloring the room. It was hard to believe that I was still on the black dragon considering all other rooms were dark and scary. I hated to admit I was afraid but most of the rooms of this ship scared the daylights out of me. I always felt as if there was a heavy foreboding feeling... like someone or something will jump out and stab me to death at any minute.
Juno made that feeling a reality in a way, except that he won't kill me. He tested to see if my gaurd was up and it took weeks to get to the point were I knew where he was. I'm normally sharp as a blade but he could sneak up on me with no problems. It took me three months to finally be able to actually block his hidden attacks. I was more wary of my surroundings and I could now easily block Juno's hidden attacks. He has taught me so much in such little time.
I made a deal with my father: I stay and train for a year and then he'll take me back to the Straw Hat Pirates. I was taking the final test today with Juno and then I'll be taught how to fight with a sword from his brother, Cruso. Cruso has a more lively appearance and he was more easygoing than his brother. He had bright green eyes and his skin was more tanned.
My final exam was to fight Juno and surpass him. He claimed that he was most proud of his pupils that surpassed him. The men had cleared an area on the deck and they were all gathered around to watch. Everyone placed their bets. No one except Juno beleive I can surpass him. Juno took great pride in his students and an insult to them is an insult to him. I definitely doubted my own abilities and I was terrified of being humiliated infront of everyone.
I took my position on the deck and Juno took his. He never held back when going against me and he wasn't going to even think about starting. With a word from Cruso, we started.
I waited for him to make the first move and he waited for me. We were testing eachother's patience. We circled eachother until Juno went first. He seemed to just appear right infront of me. I quickly dodged his first hit. I dodged and waited for openings. He stopped seeing that he couldn't do anything. The key for me was patience, which I had plenty of. We circled eachother again with our eyes locked and unblinking. Sometimes just a twitch of the eye would be enough of an opening. Then he sneezed and I quickly took that opportunity. I landed one punch in the kidney. It was only one hit but it was painful. Some of the men say he was holding back but that hit was really that hard.
He aimed a kick to my jaw and I ducked below it and quickly came up and grabbed his leg. I knocked him back and tripped him. He fell backwards and I quickly jumped on top of him. He blocked me with his hands and he threw me off. I landed on my feet and he hit me in the back. The hit knocked the wind out of me and I quickly tried to get up but he was on top of me. I had to wrestle with him to get him off. This reminded me of trying to get my first boyfreind, Chance, to kiss me. He acted like I had rabies at the time. I can't beleive I never saw that he didn't like me from the beginning. He only had me for show. I was glad that he never took my first kiss.
Then I realized I was off of focus when Juno had me in a submissive hold. I had to figure out a way out of this even though he has never had a student get out of this hold. He had my legs jammed against my stomach and he had an arm on my shoulder. The men were cheering and were waiting for me to give up. I had nothing to do... but wait. I hoped that by waiting for him, he'd relax too much and then I could make a move.
We waited. I forced myself to relax and make it look like I was giving up. Juno's hold loosened and I quickly kicked his chest with both of my legs. Juno went flying through the air and he landed hard. He was startled by the move. The men were suprised.
I ran at him and land a kick to his gut and a punch in the area below the ear. The last blow caused Juno to pass out. A lot of men lost bets and others had disbeleiving looks as they got pocket fulls of cash. Juno staggered up and spat out a tooth but he smiled.
"You pass. Well done Morgan." he said.
My father and the men that won the bets applauded while others grumbled at the loss of their beri. I could hardly beleive it. I won against Juno. My father suprised me by lifting me up and hugging me. I was happy that he was proud but he was suffocating me with his hug and his smell. He smelled like a strong musk and the ocean. I passed out from the scent he gave off and the crew all laughed.
I've been training with Cruso. He not only taught me how to fight with a short sword that he gave me, but he also taught me how to use guns of all types. He even taught me how to make bombs.
I have also passed his expectations and I now carried a hand gun in a holster that's strapped around one side of my hip and my short sword on the other side. I also carried a dagger that my father gave me.
I now wore a sky blue skirt that stopped at my knees and it split at my right leg. I wore a black strapless leather top that only covered my chest that was tightly laced in the back. I wore a thick belt around my waist for my gun and sword and I had the dagger strapped around my right thigh. I wore flip flops on land but I usually didn't wear any type of shoe if I could avoid it. I had my sky blue scarf tied around my head. I also had a black zip-up hoodie to cover up with. As far as my casual wear has went, this was the most revealing casual clothing I've been in aside from my bikini that I wore swimming.
I also had another tattoo on my left ankle. It was a howling wolf. Cruso pinned me down and put it on me. It turned out better than I expected and I never bothered covering it up.
My golden brown hair had grown out a little as well and it flowed down to the middle of my back.
I would be turning eighteen today and today was the day we set off to look for the Straw Hat Pirates. We were heading for an island to ask about them.
I was happy to be finally able to go back to them. I wondered if Snow was doing alright. I wondered how Girta was doing. Just two weeks before I left, her and Zoro started dating. I hope they're still together or if not, then they're still on good terms with eachother. Ace...
Will he wait for me... or will he chase after someone else? How much has he changed? Does he or the crew understand why I went looking for my father? Did Shanks even manage to find them and tell them I'm alright? I hope he did or else I'll have his head.
We docked at a well populated island. Our search starts!
We've been searching for two months. We told that the marines had taken Ace. Oh I was horrified! I knew he couldn't die but they didn't know that. What kind of torture will he be subjected to when they do find out? I shivered at the thought.
We were going to break him out. I remember the crew was suprised when they heard my dad announce that. My father knew that I loved him and my dad would do anything to keep me happy... that didn't mean he approved of Ace but he'd be damned if his daughter's love was in the hands of the marines.
We were outside the new marine facility he was kept at. This place was built a year ago and the marines had tight security. It was a whole island surrounded by two walls and it was surrounded by electrified barbwire as soon as someone got pass the two walls and the water mine feild between them. It took us awhile to find gaps in their security and hours to get in unharmed. The Straw Hats were here already and have caused quite a distraction.
Juno, Cruso, and I were sneaking in ahead of everyone to see where they kept Ace. As we feared, they were attempting to execute him. We needed a good plan... and fast!
Interesting turn of events! Who would have thought that Morgan is the daughter of a pirate? What will they do? Can they make it out alive?
