Chapter 7

Thatch just finished cooking for his family and was about to eat when Izou called him.

"Hey Thatch! Have you see the kid?" Now that Izou mention it. He haven't seen the Fire-Fist after falling overboard.

"No I haven't. But Marco might know coz he brought the kid a bowl of soup." Thatch replied. Izou sighed.

"What?" Thatch was wondering why Izou suddenly sighed.

"Nothing it's just that. The two are nowhere to be found y'know." With his statement, Thatch let his eyes roamed around and Izou was right. The are nowhere to be seen. Thatch got up on his feet.

"C'mon love, let's find the two lovers." Izou blushed.

"Shut up." Thatch just laughed. Oh, my love is so adorable.

They decided to searched for the two separately. While Thatch is walking and searching, he called their names.

"Hey Marco! Ace! Where you guys at?!"

Meanwhile, Marco and Ace began to fix their selves. Marco fixed the cloth and covered his member. Ace began to buckle his belt and zipped his pants.

"There you are guys! You will missed your dinner if you don't come down." Both of them jumped at their feet.

"Y-yeah. We'll go ahead. We just had a little talk." Marco respond at Thatch's statement. He got up on his feet and lend his hand to Ace. Ace accepted it and carried the bowl of soup.

"Hey Ace. Why don't you go ahead? Izou is worried about you." Thatch said and Ace nodded as a response. He walked away and looked for Izou.

"What do you think your doing Marco?" Thatch knew what happened between the two. Judging from their reactions and the white liquid on the floor, he already knew that something's off.

"What do you mean yoi?" Marco shivered and pretended that he didn't know what he's saying. Thatch looked at him and sighed.

"You know what next time that you'll be doing it, make sure you clean your messed after." Thatch grinned and walked away.

Marco deeply blushed and got a mop and began moping their liquid on the floor. Damn you Thatch. One day, I'm going to kill you for sure.

After he is done cleaning their mess, he proceeded to the mess hall. There he saw Ace laughing and getting along with the crew. He smiled. I guess I already know the answer to the question I asked him a while ago.

Ace never got this close to the crew before. He was happy. He knew he was getting along with the crew. He knew that this crew wants him to be officially part of this family. He smiled at that thought. He saw Marco standing in the entrance of the mess hall.

"Hey Marco!" Marco smiled at him. He smiled back.

Being in this ship, being able to have a chance to have a family again. It feels nice. I'm happy. Really happy.Ace began to laughed at Thatch when Marco began to burn his hair.

Luffy, Sabo, I finally found a family.
