500 things Ace cannot do on board the Moby Dick

Chapter eleven

43. I may not offer to polish Jozu.

"Ace, can you help me out with- What in the name of the celestial dragons are you doing?" Thatch asked.

"I'm going to polish Jozu!" Ace replied gleefully. He's going to…. What?

"Ah ha, does he know?" Thatch asked, slightly worried.

"Nope. Why?" Ace asked clueless. That time, it was Thatch's turn to face plant.

44. I may not sell him to a jewelry store.

Ace was sitting in a bar all the while wisteling gleefully, surrounded by around forty plates. The food was still coming and Ace wasn't even near finished yet. A few hours later, Marco waltzed in.

"Hey Ace! Have you seen Jozu? He was supposed to switch in with Thatch on Ship watch two hours ago!" Marco said, straight to the point. Ace shook his head. "You sure?" Marco asked.

"Yep." Ace replied, going back to his fiftieth plate.

"By the way how did you get so much money? Last I heard you were broke." Marco stated.

"Diamonds are a large supply in demand." Ace replied automatically.

"You didn't…. No way. Ace? You didn't sell Jozu did you?!" Marco growled as he watched Ace Pale almost humorously. The freckled man then stuffed the reminder of his food into his mouth and ran. And man could the kid run.

45. I may not ask him 'what a girl wants' on the basis that he's 'a girl's best friend'.

"Hey Jozu" Ace said.

"Yeah? What do you want now?" Jozu replied.

"What do girls want?" The fire man asked.

"How the hell am I supposed to know?!" Jozu snapped back.

"Well, you are a girls best friend right? Since your diamond and all." Ace explained. Jozu just sighed.

46. I am not allowed to stare at Jozu for hours on end because 'he's shiny'.

"What?!" Jozu asked.

"Huh?" Ace replied

"You've been staring at me for five hours, what do you want?!" Jozu growled.

"Oh nothing... I just never realised how shiny you are!" Ace exclaimed joyfully, and went back to staring.

AN: See, I told you it would be better! So that's it for chapter eleven. Toughts?

See you soon!
