WhiteBeards Siren.
Marco never thought that a girl can step onto the Moby Dick and change his life as much as one small woman did, but he's happy about it and so is Ace. Akiyama Megumi was a small quiet child; the Whitebeard Pirates help her voice be heard.
Important note at the end of this Chapter to see were the story will go next.
Megumi slides backwards as Astria jumped down from the balcony, her wings spread as she glided through the air over Ace and landed in front of her, Astrias face was pulled back into an evil grin in her peacock form she was about a foot taller than Megumi making the girl feel sorter than she already was. Her neck drew back and snapped forward quickly into striking her with her beak, Megumi ducked downwards and with the now dented serving tray since she hit the guard over the head slammed it upwards into the beak.
Astria stumbled back from the sudden shock and squawked at the younger girl, "You stupid child you'll pay for that."
Megumi listened as she heard the patrons scramble to get out the casino, the guards stood by waiting for orders and Megumi couldn't help but laugh, "Really a Peacock, I thought Pops was kidding but really."
She watched as a flame of anger danced behind Astria's eyes and the woman jumped high in the air flapping her wings a few times to suspend herself in the air, before she lifted her legs into the air and dived down again neck extended this time aiming to hit her. Ace jumped over Marco in training in a similar situation but she knew this had to be timed absolutely correct, she waited until Astria's beak was in arm's length and slammed the try down onto the peacocks head pushing downwards with the plate and "VOICE-VOICE SCREECH!" was screamed loudly into the peacocks ears as she flipped over the woman. Megumi landed hard on her feet on the card table behind them, she slipped backwards tumbling off the table and landed hard on her rear.
"See how can a child beat me with such stupid, faults," Astria laughed coldly. Her feathers stood up proud behind her back as she leant over the card table looking at Megumi as the younger girl stumbled to her feat.
"I will not be beaten by the likes of you! I will not be captured by enemy's pirates! I WILL NOT GO BACK WITH THE MARINES!" Megumi screamed the last part chucking the serving dish at the peacock who twirled away but the tray hit a few of her feathers denting them.
Astria gasped as she looked at the state of her tail feathers, "How DARE YOU!"
Megumi gulped slightly and ducked as Astria dived down at her again, she twisted and slammed her foot upwards slamming into the peacock's stomach, "VOICE-VOICE WAVES!" The sound waves became visible and pushed the peacock back ten feet making her slam into the slot machines across from them.
Astria pushed herself of the fallen slot machines and shook herself off, the pink haired girl across from her was already breathing heavily showing her that the girl hadn't had much battle training. She wasn't liking this Celestial Dragon already but the boss wanted her alive, Astria smirked to herself but the boss said nothing about roughing her up a little beforehand.
"Give up girly," Astria smirked standing fully and brushing her dress down with her wings, "You can't win this… you think these boys will let you go even if you do defeat us?"
Megumi glanced around the room seeing the walls lined with guards, "We will… you can burn in hell I am leaving this island with the Whitebeard pirates whether you like it or not."
"Looks like we are going to have to do this the hard way," Astria sided as she leapt into the air with incredible speed with talons first slammed into Megumi, the pink haired woman screeched in slight pain as talons dug into her right shoulder. Megumi bit down on her lip to keep herself from screaming in pain as the talons twitched and dug deeper into her shoulder, "Oh little girly trying not to scream in pain."
Megumi breathed heavily wincing as the talons dug down into her shoulder, she watched as Astria changed back into a human, her now high heels dug into her shoulder. "For a peacock you're not very elegant."
"WHAT!"
"Well… birds like peacocks are such elegant beautiful people and have so much control over the situation," Megumi laughed softly and lifted her legs arching her back inwards and slammed her feet into Astrias back sending the woman over the black jack tabled behind her. Megumi stumbled to her feet grabbing hold of her bleeding shoulder, she turned sharply hissing as her shoulder jolted sending pain across her body, "SEE!" She shouted eyes blazing molten silver, "YOU CAN'T BE A FRIGGIN PEACOCK YOU ARE AS GRACEFUL AS AN ELEPHANT!"
She watched as Astria dived off the table towards her arms stretched out, Megumi ducked down listening as she rolled across the roulette table and onto the floor. Megumi looked around to see yellow balls of fire coming from Ace's hand hitting Beelerus backwards and exploding like tiny little bombs.
"You ungrateful little wretch," Astria hissed in her ear.
Megumi gasped before letting out a short scream as she felt a hand wrap round her hair and slam her into the floor, "LET ME GO!" She cried out again as she felt Astria slam her talon feet into her legs keeping her pinned.
"No… you see Miss Akiyama, our boss want's you alive never said anything about not harming you," Astria hissed in her ear, suddenly tugging Megumi's head backwards making the younger girl arch her head backwards locking eyes with her, "Such pretty little thing, let's see how badly we can rough up this little face."
Megumi bit her bottom lip as she felt the woman clench her talons into Megumi's legs, 'Don't let her see that your scared Megumi,' ran through her own mind as she clenched her eyes shut feeling a sharper tug on her hair. Astria had leaned down to whisper into Megumi's ears but she blocked them out as much as possible, Megumi thrusted her elbow back quickly forcing it into the woman's bottom rips. She heard a soft crack under the loud cry of pain of the woman, she heard "KAGERO!" coming from Ace's direction.
Astria stumbled off Megumi holding her bottom rip, "YOU CAN'T DEFEAT ME!"
Megumi pushed herself to her feet stumbling slightly feeling her shins becoming bruised from the tightness of the woman's hold, "Yes… Yes I can… I don't need them to protect me."
"Of course you do," The peacock sneered rubbing away the blood from the corner of her mouth, "You are a weak little princess who needs to be pampered."
Megumi glared feeling her anger control her movements as she went to scream again, not paying attention to Astrias movements as she felt a hard impact against her chest sending her back quite a distanced into the wall behind her. Megumi grunted in pain bitting her lip again, she felt her vision become slightly blurry as she felt throbbing pain through her head and back.
"You see Miss Akiyama, that you are just a child in an adults game," Footsteps coming closer, "It will be simple come with us and let Boss bargain you off to the marines."
Megumi laughed, "Marines don't bargain… Celestial Dragon is harmed they send an admiral and guess which Admiral you will be having on your arse."
"Akainu doesn't mess with the affairs of Celestial Dragons," Astria hissed.
Ten feet… roughly… Megumi shook her head and rubbed her eyes getting rid of the blur in her vision, looking up at Astrai and smiled sweetly cocking her head to the side, "But for his fiancé the woman he's been patrolling the seas for... he would… Whether you capture me or not, they now you have hurt me and by the Four Emperors Astria you are gonna wish you weren't born."
Astria glared her feathers stood on end, she drew closer and drew her neck backwards and snapped forward, Megumi sank down the wall and listened to Astria cry out in pain as she slammed her beak into the wall, "Please let this work…" Megumi whispered and arched her head up, "VOICE-VOICE SONIC BOOM!" White noise and light filled her vision making her head throb more in pain, she heard shattering of glass a crash of the chandelier and the shaking of the foundation.
After a few moments the light left her vision and the room returned completely to her senses, she laughed softly to herself as she saw Astria across the room laying still. Ace and Beelerus were still fitting each other, but she could see her scream had affected Beelerus his stance was off and blood seeped from his ears into his fur. Megumi gently stood wobbling slightly as she got to her feet and stumbled closer to Astria, hearing the shout of, "SHINKA: SHINRANUI!" From Ace as he continued to fight behind her.
Astria was out cold, Megumi could still see her chest rising and falling as if she was in a deep sleep cuts and bruises covered mostly her face from were Megumi had slammed the serving tray into her face.
"HIKEN!"
Megumi collapsed to her knees next to Astria's sleeping form, smiling softly to herself as she looked at the woman with a higher bounty than Haruta she'd taken down. She heard a grunt of pain and a body slam into the ground and she turned her head to see Beelerus laying on the floor not that far away from her, her eyes widened slightly at the sight of him as his eyes had rolled back slightly making his eyes appear white as he passed out.
"Even though, you won your battle you need to be aware of other opponents," She heard Ace say from above her.
"Yeah…" She whispered softly craning her neck back to look at him, he was covered in bruises a few cuts and his clothes were ripped in places but all together he looked in better shape than her, "Sorry about that."
"Shouldn't walk over to your enemy and collapse either," She felt material being dropped onto her shoulder, "But you did good… she had a high bounty."
"I was making sure she was passed out," Megumi snapped slightly, putting her arms into the sleeves of his jacket looking around releasing her scream had knocked out all the guards as well.
"And if she wasn't?" Ace grinned at her, helping her up to her feet.
Megumi stumbled on her feet and shrugged wincing as she moved the cut, "I would of thought of that."
Ace grinned and ruffled her messy hair, before quickly pecking her on the lips, "You did great… though made more of a mess than I think Pops wanted."
"It's Kaido's," She hummed, "I thought Pops didn't like Kaido."
"No one likes Kaido," Ace laughed wrapping the arm round her shoulder, she winced again and tugged the jacket closer. "Sorry," he scratched the back of his head and pushed her towards the door.
"No…" She tugged him back.
"What we need to get back to the ship!"
"No the front door, the marines would of surrounded it wouldn't they," She replied looking up at him, "Trust me on this one."
Ace nodded his head and glanced around the room, seeing a hallway which had a sign with emergency exit written above it, "This way."
Both of them jogged down the hallway to the exit Megumi was slower than Ace but she refused to beaten by bruised legs. Ace pushed open the metal doors leading out into the back alleyways of the town, Megumi glanced around hearing people murmuring from the front of the building wandering if the fighting had stopped, some were complaining that they were going to lose the winning streak and she could hear the marines telling them to move back. She felt Ace's warm hand slip into her own, intertwining them with hers he gave a small squeeze and both of them ran through the alley ways heading back down to the docks.
Megumi couldn't hear anyone down at the dock expect the crew as they drew closer to the ship, working on getting the ship ready. Ace popped his head out the ally way and looked left then right, then did the process again and again for about a minute making sure the cost was clear before he dashed out and onto the dock heading straight for the Moby Dick.
"BOSS THEY ARE HERE!" She heard someone shout as they walked up the plank walking straight back up to the deck.
Heavy footsteps walked towards them and they both saw Whitebeard standing over them, the tall man chuckled and waved to the crew signalling to set sail. "You two seem in a good mood," Whitebeard laughed watching as the two sunk back on the railing catching their breath.
"She did great Pops!" Ace grinned widely bumping her uninjured shoulder, "She took out Astria I mean ok…" Ace finally looked her up and down taking in the bruises and the blood splatters, "You got a bit beaten up."
"You do look a bit worse for wear my dear," Whitebeard stated.
"I'm fine Pops really," She smiled softly, "Though being made to run from the top of the island to the bottom with bruised legs was a painful task." She shot a short glare to Ace how chuckled and scratched the back of his neck, but she smiled softly seeing him nervously scratch the back of his head.
"MEGUMI!" She heard Izo and Haruta cry out, she turned in time to see them both knock her to the floor.
"OW! Holy Hell you two!" She cried out as she felt a twinge of pain through her entire body.
She felt them both get off her and sit down in front of her as she pushed herself up into a sitting position, Izo leant forward tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear. "You ok? How did it go?"
Haruta grinned at her, "You look at bit beaten up did Ace have to come to your rescue?"
"No he didn't, I'm alright bit beaten up but I did beat her, what was with the tackling?" Megumi asked as she rubbed her shoulder.
"They have been worrying over you for the last few hours since you left," She heard Marco chuckle.
"You two didn't trust that I could do it," She gasped slightly offended.
"No, no, no," Haruta waved his hands slightly throwing away the allegation, "We were worried… you haven't been trained much and Astria has been on the seas for a few years now more experience than you… we didn't want you getting hurt."
"You look well, yoi," Marco leant down and brushed the hair away from her forehead kissing the temple and she smiled up.
"I feel like I can take the world on at the moment," She laughed.
Marco cupped her cheek and tilted her head upwards for him to look her over, he pushed the jacket down her arms with his free hand. His eyes widened slightly at the sight of the three talons marks that decorated her shoulder, "How did this happen, yoi?" His voice darkened slightly sending a shiver up her spine, "How could you let this happen?" He snapped slightly at Ace.
"Hey," Megumi tugged on his shirt forcing him to look at her, "Do not take it out on Ace, it wasn't his fault."
"Ok… ok…" Marco murmured, "You shouldn't be out here with injuries like this."
Megumi squeaked as she was suddenly lifted into the air her arms wrapped round his neck, "Marco put me down."
"Nope," He smiled down at her kissing her head again, before looking back at Ace smirking slightly, "You both need medical attention, yoi."
"POPS!" Megumi cried in embarrassment as Marco walked towards the medical bay, Ace trailing behind them along with Haruta and Izo, "MAKE HIM PUT ME DOWN!"
She only heard Whitebeards chuckle as the door to the medi-bay opened and she was dumbed down on a bed, "CRYSTAL! YOI!" She heard Marco shout above her.
A door on the other side of the room and Crystal strolled into the room, her eyes narrowed at the first division commander, "This is a medical bay Marco, not a room for you to holler… what on earth happened to you two?" She glanced between the battered and bruised pair, who were sitting on the same bed, Ace was leant back arms crossed behind his head looking like he was ready to sleep whilst Megumi sat up straight glancing between the smirking Marco and Crystal who was now in her face brushing Ace off the medi-bed.
"Well we took out two of Kaido's top memebers," Ace grinned as he pulled up a chair.
Crystal sighed and shook her head, "May I remove the jacket dear?"
Megumi nodded and smiled, "Of course."
She felt the jacket being pushed completely off her shoulders, she heard a thud and turned around to see Izo had fainted. "Is he ok?" She gasped moving to see if he was alright but Crystal pushed her back effectively slamming her into the bed.
"Nope you Missy are not moving until that wound is cleaned and patched up and someone remove him from my medical bay, no place for weak willed men here."
A few days later Megumi sat down in front of Marco on her bed, "Thank you for doing this," She smiled at him through the mirror on the wall across from her bed. Her fingers worked through Maujas fur stroking the bear as he curled up on her lap sleeping.
Marco sat behind her one hand on her head and the other gently pulling a brush through her hair, "Crystal said you can't move that shoulder until she removes the stitches just in case you break them," He leant closer and gently kissed her cheek, making her smile widen, "I don't mind helping you, yoi."
"But really, how many people can't say they've had the first division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates brushing their hair can they."
Marco chuckled and shook his head, "No they can't only you love."
"Plus if I had Ace do it I would most likely have no hair left," She giggled.
"There," Marco placed the brush down, "Done."
Megumi ran her left hand through her hair, "Thank you Marco."
"As always no problem, yoi," He smiled down her as she leant back into his chest, he gently rubbed his hands across the bottom of her arms. "You ok though, you've seemed a bit off since Crystal put in the stitching?"
"It's something Astria said during the fight that made me question… am I really cut out to be a pirate?" She questioned softly.
"What did she say?"
"That I'm a princess, who needs to be pampered," She answered.
Marco chuckled slightly, "I think you are a brilliant pirate, Astria been on the sea longer than you have Megumi and plus she's always been a bit of a stuck up bitch in my opinion."
"She was a horrible person."
"There are worse people out their Megumi, people who will kill for power and people who will kill for fun," His hands squeezed hers softly, "People who will harm people for fun or to prove a point, you just have to remember there are people in this world that can make a good difference from saving people."
She hummed softly and jumped as her door slammed open Mauja looked up and growled gently, Ace stood in her doorway holding the newspaper grinning widely, "Look at this," he threw the newspaper onto her lap before practically bouncing as he landed on the bed next to her.
Megumi laughed gently smiling at Ace as he leant back and snuggled up into Marco's side as she opened the days newspaper. 'Dangerous Romance brews on the Sea,' under the title was a picture of Megumi and Ace, when his lips touched hers briefly after the fight with Kaido's crew. The picture been taken through the window, she could see the mess they had made in Kaido's casino broken glass, cards and poker chips littered the floor around them.
'Second Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates Portgas D. Ace and 'Kidnapped' Celestial Dragon Akiyama Megumi, was caught a few days ago in a heated embrace. Could our kidnapped Celestial Dragon be in love with one of the most feared men on the sea, we have so far had no comments from the Marines on the situation and The Akiyama family are saying no comment. Could the Celestial Dragon be staying with the Whitebeard Pirates on her own accord?'
"Sounds more like a gossip Magazine than a newspaper article," Megumi stated.
"Not just that," Ace smiled at her and turned a few pages, "Look."
'Bengal Tiger Beelerus and Peacock Astria: Been Captured.'
"Seems like the Marines cleaned up the mess you two made, yoi," Marco chuckled.
"Didn't make that much of a mess," She huffed.
"You brought down a chandelier," Ace laughed.
"And I've taken down a mountain a very old one that was hollow and already crumbling, but still took it down…. What's your point?" She asked, glancing down at Mauja who was glaring at Ace but was hidden from the man's view by the newspaper.
"Think his point is you're more destructive than we are, yoi," Marco chuckled.
Megumi only shook her head and continued reading the newspaper, Beelerus and Astria had been taken to impel down. They had more reports about her appearances with the Whitebeard Pirates, a few pirates had been captured whilst more had surfaced looking for One Piece.
"Do you know what the next island is that we will be going to?" Ace asked Marco above her.
"Pops wants to stay out in the sea for a while, after the incident on that island Pops knows that Marines will be swarming around all the islands nearby," Marco replied.
"But staying still is boring," Ace whined as he sank down on the bed.
"Better than having Megumi taken from us, yoi," Marco stated.
Megumi had to agree with Ace stay still was going to be boring but she knew Pops had the best ideas in mind, keeping his family safe was important to him he'd told her the other day. But, Ace could never sit still expect for food or napping in her opinion it was cute seeing Ace bounce from division to division asking if he could help with what they were doing or if he could help with training.
"Hey…" She felt her ribs being jabbed, "You awake?"
She turned her head and rolled up the newspaper as she looked at Ace's grinning face, before she gently lifted the newspaper up and smacked him in the centre of his temple, "Don't jab my ribs."
"Marco," Ace whined as he rubbed the spot were Megumi had just hit, "She's being mean."
Marco chuckled and nuzzled into the side of Megumi's neck, her hand squeezed one of his, "The girl is learning."
Ace pouted and huffed slightly, "Not fair."
Megumi giggled and patted Ace's head softly with her free hand, "It's ok… I'm surprised you haven't gone and started nagging at the kitchen for lunch."
"Yeah… it is getting close to lunch time… wait why were you two in here in the first place, your normally out on deck around this time?" Ace questioned rolling over onto his side looking up at both of them.
"I can't lift my arm up at the moment, Crystal is worried I might break the stitched," Megumi pointed to her injured shoulder that had been healing nicely but the cuts were still visible, "So I've had Izo or Haruta brush my hair the last two days but I couldn't find them… and Marco was the only other person on this ship expect Pops to brush my hair."
"Hey what about me?" Ace asked.
"She wants hair Ace not for you to set it on fire, yoi," Marco chuckled.
Ace glared at the two as they laughed, he looked down at Mauja who was glaring at him, "Why is the bear glaring at me?"
Megumi smiled and placed the newspaper next to them before scratching Mauja behind the ear, "His name is Mauja and it might be because you hit him with the newspaper."
Ace chuckled and scratched the back of his neck, "Yeah…ehh… sorry about that…" Mauja growled at him again, "WHY DOESN'T HE LIKE ME!"
"Wouldn't blame him," Marco leant forward resting his head on Megumi's uninjured shoulder and scratched Maujas back. "He has good judge of character."
"HE'S A BEAR!" Ace cried out in annoyance.
"And a very clever bear aren't you darling," Megumi laughed and nuzzled the top of Mauja's head.
"A bear gets more love than me," Ace huffed and flopped back onto the bed.
Before too long the dinner bell rang, Ace jumped off the bed and headed towards the door turning back to grin at the other two. Megumi shook her head and watched Mauja jump off the bed following Ace though the polar bear still glared at him. The bed shifted from behind her as she felt Marco scooted around her and off the bed holding out his hand for her, she smiled taking his hand he pulled her gently up off the bed and the four walked to the dinner hall.
Ace zoomed ahead the moment the they entered the dining room, sitting down at his normal seat across from Haruta and started piling food onto his plate. Both of them laughed and shook their heads, she watched as Mauja walked up to Thatch and widened nudging his leg as both her and Marco took their seats at the table.
"It's bad Mauja's associated you with food," Megumi hummed softly as she picked up a sandwich as Thatch chuckled and petted Mauja before placing a bowl of meats down on the ground in front of him.
"Why does Mauja like him and not me!" Ace cried in annoyance reaching over to pinch a sandwich of her plate, only to be smacked down by Izo who leant across the table.
"No stealing food off her plate, remember what Crystal said," Izo snapped.
"Ok…coming from the person who fainted when he saw the state of her wounds," Ace replied.
"Well you let her get injured, Pops told you keep her safe… Her shoulder being ripped apart is not safe."
"She did great though, you should of seen her Izo she was practically flying through the air when she flipped over Astria."
"Yeah…" Megumi murmured raising an eyebrow at him, "You didn't watch me go flying across the casino and slamming into a wall."
Ace grinned at her and kissed her cheek, making her blush brightly but turn her head away, "You did great though… you took her down that's the essential," He nuzzled her cheek slightly wrapping an arm around her.
"Ah… aren't you two sweet," Izo grinned at them both, before he glanced over at Marco to see him smirking at the couple, "What's with that look?"
"Nothing, yoi," Marco chuckled and continued eating his lunch.
Haruta and Izo raised an eyebrow at him before turning to look at Megumi who was giggling softly as Ace whispered something in her ear, "Megumi…?" Haruta asked, "Who brushed your hair, Me and Izo were both busy this morning…. But it looks so perfect?"
"Oh erm…" Megumi smiled softly before glancing quickly at Marco from the corner of her eye and stuffing the rest of the sandwich in her mouth so she didn't have to answer the question.
"Marco….?" Izo asked glancing between the two.
"No Izo," Marco replied.
Megumi swallowed the sandwich and looked at Izo who was grinning at them, "You three are the cutest couple I've seen."
"Is this cause of the newspaper article?" Megumi asked, "I mean… seriously reporters are just nuts dangerous romance breaking on the sea, I mean that sounds like something that should be coming out of a gossip magazine not the actual newspaper."
Izo hummed in agreement, "Well got to remember they get a lot of their information from the marines."
"Agreed," She murmured.
"But what is gonna happen now… I mean they now which island you are on… I don't think the World Government is going to be too impressed with this turn of events?" Haruta asked.
"I'm surprised the world government didn't try to block that from being placed in the newspaper," Marco stated.
"True… they normally try to keep that sort of stuff out the newspaper," Izo hummed.
"Pops is wanting to stay out at sea for a while, he thinks Sengoku is going to pull out all the stops to make sure that Megumi is taken home… rumours are that your parents have been moved to the Mariejois," Thatch glanced down at her.
Megumi froze and blinked a few times, "My parents are moving to the holy island… YOUR-" She slammed her hand over her mouth and eyes wide.
"Is that bad they are going to be moving your parents?" Ace asked.
She put her hand down, "I have a feeling they think the whitebeard pirates are going to attack the Sparkling Enclave Island, it has the biggest jewel distribution across all six seas… My family is rolling in the cash… Just the stupid world government has to over think everything…"
"You can understand why they are worried, if your parents get killed off everything goes to you, you're their only heir," Izo stated.
Ace glanced around noticing the shift in the atmosphere, "Hey…" HE hugged her softly avoiding the shoulder as much as possible, "You really need to stop worrying about the Marines… They aren't going to get you… I've promised you this way to many times."
Megumi laughed softly and rubbed her eyes, "You guys are just the best."
A/N: Ending the chapter here cause I want to give you guys a decision for the next chapter were we will be landing on a jungle island, either of these ideas will be happening at some point but want to know what you guys want first, We can either have another elemental crystal show up, this one will be based on plant life either a woman or a man I have not decided yet or We get to meet Garp and the marines however you will not know the outcome until I write it, I'll give it a couple of days until I start writing the new chapter unlike last chapter were I kind of posted the chapter then went straight into writing.
