Third Person POV

"Is he okay?" Luka asked, since she did just see her brother falling.

"It's Ace. Of course he's fine," answered Marco. He couldn't believe within the air he's been on this ship, Ace over fell overboard twice. This was a record. But, then again, Ace was probably trying to stay cool in front of his sister; didn't work much, but Luka always found him cool anyhow.

Her hand reached outward; into the clouds above. Her mouth was ajar at the sight as the clouds swirled around her hand. She knelt close to the bird, Marco, and whispered into his ear. "This is so awesome!"

"Not really," he replied. He was used to this. He's been flying for years; but he couldn't help but smile. Her excitement was rubbing off on him.

He dived upwards into the grand masses of white, and Luka squealed. Everything was beautiful. The sky was assortment of colors; making it look like a canvas. "Higher!" she exclaimed. He smiled with his bird beak, and flew higher; they were above the clouds. Everything from down below was hidden behind the clouds. Above them was the colorful sky.

"So. Epic." She stated each word. "Why didn't you tell me you could fly? This is amazing!"

"Eh...?" he didn't know how to respond to that. During these days that he's been on the ship, he could have flew away with this form. But something was blocking that path, and it was Luka. He just didn't want to fly away; fly at all. All he wanted was Luka. That's all. Even if that sounded cheesy, that was what he was thinking. Her puppy dog face, her snoring, her appetite...yeah, he still liked her.

"Bird! Meat!" Luka started yelling, pointing at the birds ahead of them. Her stomach growled.

Before Marco had any type of warning, Luka launched herself from Marco's back to the flock ahead. "LU-ka..." he starting yelling, but by the end it ended, Luka was already in the bird's mouth. Now he could see how these two brother and sister were related.

"Ah! HELP! MARCO! YOUR FRIEND TRYING TO EAT ME! I WANT TO EAT IT!" she screamed, moaning. The bird's jaws locked in place around its food, Luka. She struggled to get out of its jaw, but it was helpless.

Marco moaned, and changed his pace to fly by the bird. His wing turned into his hand, and he punched the bird's chin. It opened up, and Luka sprung out. She squealed at being mid-flight, but she seen Marco, and jumped on top of him. "That was close," she giggled.

"Too close," he reminded her.

"I'm still hungry."

"The island's right ahead," he stated.

"ONWARD MY MARCO!" she ordered.

'My Marco...?' thought Marco. He really didn't know how to think about that. Well, it was Luka, so he shrugged it off; but the blush remained. Good thing he was in bird form, or Luka would have seen that.

Luka noticed it. And she giggled. He turned his head, "What?"

"Uh..nothing! Nothing at all!" she lied poorly. Her lips were plucked out, and she was inches away from laughing.

He shook his giant pineapple head at the obvious of the lie. He just needed to find out what that was for.

"Ace is going to be mad," she then said.

"Yep, and it's his own fault this time," said Marco. He wasn't going to get blame again for that idiot's stupid mistake. Bad enough that asshole was trying to burn him to death...which didn't make sense in the first place...then trying to raised a Seaking army. Something was whack with his mind.

Marco flew in the sky, aiming downwards. The island came into view, and Luka cheered. They were finally there. This was Loguetown, the place where Gol D Roger lived and die. The one place Ace probably would keep away from. Luka couldn't wait to eat, and then search the city. This was the grand point in her adventure, since this was the last stop before the Grand Line. "Oh! I can see it!" she squealed, pointing to the execution post. She so wanted a closer look at the place, but that would be after she was on the ground.

Marco groaned. He remembered what Nami told them. He had to wear a disguised. Luka chose it out for him...even homos shook their heads at the outfit. It was a combine of different colors, mismatched clothing. Let's just say, Marco looked like a clown.

"It looks good on you," Luka nodded her head. Marco tried to smile, but he kept looking at the mirror. If anyone, who knew him, seen this, they would roll on the ground, laughing at him. That's what he gets for being so famous.

SOrry for the short update. I'm trying to set things up for the confession, climax of the story (which was why there was so much fluff). I chose no one's POV since both of them had thoughts that I wanted to include. This might be the same for the next chapter. And as for Ace and Thatch...they get their own part in the next chapter, right now I'm focusing on the romance since that's lacking.

Funny how everyone review is about Ace being funny, yet nothing on Marco's and Luka's romance (Ace is kinda the main character in this more than Luka herself).

EpicAsianOrangeTiger26: Ace is always funny. He wouldn't be one to blame himself, he rather have it placed on others (Marco). Thanks for reviewing.

annah300: Wow, everyone loves Ace. Thanks for reviewing.

kage kitsune: Maybe Ace has been high throughout the story...Lol Thanks for reviewing.

Chibi y Hina: Ace being Ace...that about wraps it up, lol. The coming home was so funny to write, since it was a bit about death, plus Ace being a loon. Death, because he would drown if he fell into the water. I believe, the D brothers are already hyper enough without the use of sugar, so if they mix...KABOOM! Nami does have anger problems, but I wouldn't blame her with the crew being like that. Thanks for reviewing.
