Chapter Seven
Ace
Ace looked over to Marco who was reading a paper. "Hey Jess."
"What Marco?" A normal looking guy asked him.
"You remember that girl who stood up to Pops."
"The redheaded Marine girl, who controls water. Yeah, what about her." He asked while picking up a bag.
"She going to be executed, they say she was plotting with other pirates."
Ace walked over and looked at the news paper Marco was reading. "What, its Rena!" he said out loud.
Marco looked at Ace, "You know her."
"She is my friend, she….. I need to talk to Whitebeard." He said running to talk to him after grabbing the paper. He ran in and it looked like Whitebeard was mad at him still for waking him up at two in the morning, when he was trying to kill him again. "Hey Old man, you got to help me please.
"Why should I help you?" Edward said looking at Ace.
"My friend her name is Rena… She is going to be executed at the end of the month. Please I have to save her." He said handing him the paper. "Please she is really close to me. I can't lose her." He said close to yelling he was ready to just go save her by himself. But he knew he needed help.
"Why should I help you then?"
"I'll do anything; I will join your crew… Please save her she should not be killed by Marines, they're gonna kill her just because of her dad."
"I will help but I don't want you to join my crew because of this." He looked at Ace wanting him to be one of his sons. But not from debt that would not go well for the man. He knew Ace would turn around soon.
(Scene Break)
Rena was being dragged from her cell back to the room. She hated being tortured though in one week her life would be over. She would not cry her thoughts started to drift as she thought of Luffy her little brother and sighed 'sorry Luffy I won't see you become pirate king. I wonder what crew you will gather. I wonder how strong you have gotten. Gramps I'm sorry I could not be a better Marine. Mom I'm sorry, I hope you will have more kids. I know you wanted more… Sabo I will be seeing you sooner than I wish too. I couldn't do what you asked and watch over Luffy … Dad, I'm sorry I could not see you again. I hope you are not upset that I had become a marine. I really wished I could see you again. I miss you dad I really do. Ace I wish I wasn't going to die. I want to live to see and everyone again. I would love to be on your crew. Or which ever crew you're on. I still love you…'
(Scene Break)
Shanks' mug that he was using cracked and he looked at it. He knew something was wrong. He stood up and looked at his men. "Let's go." He did not tell his men anything else. Shanks looked at the sky, 'I have a very bad feeling.' He thought as he went to the ship so he could go to town and see what the news was.
Shanks walked onto his ship and went to his room something big was going to happen. He did not know what but it bothered him. Beckman walked in looking at him.
"So where to, Shanks?"
"Nearest town, we need to hurry."
Beckman nodded and they started sailing around the island to get to the city. But before they got there one of the bird that delivered newspaper appeared. Beckman paid for it and started to read it. But froze at one part, execution of Rena… he ran off to show Shanks.
Shanks took the paper in his hand and he swore he saw red. "Head to 6-2 base now."
"We will barely make it."
"I don't care she is my daughter and it is her father's job to keep her safe." He said slamming his hand on the table. "Just get us to the base as fast as possible." He sat down in his chair not seeing Ben leaving. He looked at a photo he had of Rena, it was when she was a little girl and on his shoulders. Makino took it for him, Rena though taken the straw hat and was wearing it while smiling at him. He got up putting the photo down. And went outside to get them sailing.
(Scene Break)
Beckman walked out onto the deck and started to give orders. Yasopp walked over to him. "What's wrong with Shanks?"
He handed him the paper, and Yasopp paled, "there only doing it since they know who his child is." Benn could see Yasopp clenching his fist. "They will pay." He said and walked up to help them get ready to leave. Soon the crew knew why they were leaving and running around to help them leave faster. Benn looked to where his captain stood he knew the marines were dumb but not this dumb. Everyone knew that you do not harm or attack one of Shanks friend or he will go after you. But to out right threaten the life of his daughter. That was not guts it is dumb. Benn looked at the sky praying that they have not hurt her.
He looked at Shanks seeing his dark look but knowing very well if anything is wrong with Rena all of the men will make the marines pay.
(Scene Break)
Makino was cleaning a glass and felt a chill down her spine… "I wonder what that was about."
(Scene Break)
Luffy was eating his food smiling but felt something wrong and looked at his food 'Ace, Rena be careful.' He thought.
(Scene Break)
Garp had just found out a week ago and was at HQ yelling and trying to find out what they were doing. He was telling them she was not a threat. And it was when he was finally stopped yelling he was told about how she was seen talking to Ace. He knew he could do nothing to help her now. He looked down at his fist and stormed off. He was warned not to do anything dumb. But Garp was planning to go see Rena, to be there for her in the end. She deserved to have someone there.
(Scene Break)
Ace was looking ahead of the ship. It had been a few days since he asked Whitebeard to save Rena he was lucky that they were in the area other wise he didn't think she would be saved at all. Ace smiled knowing that Rena will not die. He is going to save her. She would not be killed he thought while looking ahead at the base of G-2. The base looked quite. Whitebeard stood up while looking ahead "Marco, Ace lets go."
