"Oi! Crystal!" Marco yelled for the blonde headed girl sitting on the crows nest. "Your times up!"
Crystal looked down at the blonde haired man. "Okay!"
Crystal grabs a rope and swings down to the deck as she sees the next crewmate climbs up into the crows nest. She stretches her arms out as she breathes in the wind as it blows past her face and through her hair, sending it gently back behind her.
Whitebeard watched his daughter relish in the wind as his thoughts went back to a couple days before when her older brother had come and revealed all his secrets he hid from Crystal. She didn't act the same towards him, everyone could see that. She was more distant and hardly visited him much anymore.
"Marine ship!"
Whitebeard tore his attention from Crystal as he stared hard out at the sea. Crystal walked to the edge of the ship and leaned over the railing to look around the ship.
"Kya!"
Whitebeard stood quickly as he heard Crystal let out a surprised scream and was pulled over the edge of the ship.
"Takeshi! Let me go!" Crystal yelled as said man climbed aboard the ship from his small boat, with Crystal under one of his arms.
"So it's you again!" Boris said with a chuckle. "I should have known!"
"I have to check up on her from time to time." Takeshi said setting her down. "I just saved your life, you know."
Crystal rolled her eyes at him. "You'd be the ending my life."
Takeshi laughed as he looked out at the growing crowd surrounding them. He looks up at Whitebeard as his smile fades and a serious look replaces it. "Whitebeard."
Whitebeard nodded his greeting to the Marine, but never let him out of his sight. "What is your business here?"
Crystal looked up at Takeshi with the same question playing on her lips.
"I need help getting into somewhere." Takeshi answered with a guilty smile as he rubbed the back of his neck.
"We should have known." Ace said smirking as he walked up behind Crystal and twined his fingers through hers.
"What is the place?" Sabo asked curiously.
"Pirate Island." Takeshi told them.
"Only the high ups can get in there!" Lily said astounded.
"What if they won't let Whitebeard in because of Marineford?" Jozu criticized.
Takeshi smiled as he draped an arm around Crystal, before taking it away and swinging his hand from the fire that light his sleeve up. He let out a small smile towards Ace as an apology, before looking at all of them again. "Exactly why I'm having Crystal help me. They'll let her in no matter what."
"So your using me because of who my parents are?" Crystal asked pointedly.
"That's cruel. You should know Crystal hates who her parents are." Sakura said walking angrily towards Takeshi, but is stopped as Marco reaches out and wraps an arm around her and pulls her to his side.
Takeshi held his arms up in surrender as he stared at her. "I only need to get some information from a couple of the crews there." He stared at all the pirates staring at him judgmentally as he brought up Crystal's parents. "Beside's pirate's respect her, for whom her parents are."
"No, they respect me for who my FATHER is." Crystal said facing Takeshi. "Those two aren't my parents, Whitebeard is my only parent."
Takeshi let out a sigh as he leaned back against the railing. "I'm not saying you talk about your parents and join their side. I'm just asking for you to gain me access into the island." He watched as the pirates closed in tighter and crossed their arms. "And if your family would calm down, they could spend a little vacation there"
Crystal looked behind her and saw that every crew member was standing around somewhere, watching Takeshi with scrutiny. Crystal smiled slightly as she squeezed Ace's hand.
"You know, I think I've taken advantage of what I have." Crystal said looking at Takeshi with a smile. "With all that has happened," Crystal said looking at everyone. "And the problems between some of us," She said looking at Whitebeard. "I think we all need a small break."
Everyone relaxed as they watched Crystal smile at them gently. They nodded their approval's to her, and Crystal waited as she stared at Sakura with a plea.
Sakura looked at Takeshi as she sighed. "If anything happens to any of us, you will have to prepare for the worst torture of your life."
Takeshi let out a strangled laugh as he stared at Sakura, then at Crystal for help, who just shrugged her shoulders and tugged Ace along behind her towards the dining hall, for Lunch.
Slowly the ship pulled up to the famous Pirate Island as the crew waiting anxiously for the vacation. Many jumped off the instant the ship docked, while others took their nervous time to get to the entrance of the island.
"Who asks entrance to the island?" One of the guards asked.
The crewmates looked up at the hulking guards standing at the doors, who were easily the size of Whitebeard, and possibly bigger. Whitebeard jumped down to his crew as he stared at the guards before smiling at them.
"The Whitebeard Pirates want entrance." Whitebeard said gruffly to the guards.
"Denied," The other said with a rough laugh.
Takeshi let out a quiet sigh as he hid in the group of pirates, hoping the two guards don't spot him.
"Let us in," A voice yelled from behind the huge group.
The guards laughed as they looked around the group. "And who is ordering us?"
The group parts as the guards watch Crystal walk passed all of them and to the doors. "Me."
The guards looked at her closely as they looked her up and down, before inching backwards with sweat dripping down their faces as Crystal flashed red eyes at them. She smiled as they gulped and nodded their heads. "Right away, Ms. Crystal."
Crystal nudged her head towards the island for the others to go on in. She walked up to the guards and smiled at them. "Sorry for the inconvenience. Here's some pay to help." Crystal put a tiny bag of money in each of their hands as she flashed them a light-hearted smile.
The guards watched with shock as Crystal walked passed them and into the island. Crystal walked to the front of the group as they stood waiting for her. She chuckled as she walked down the streets ignoring the hushed whispers coming from the other pirates.
"Aren't you a big hit," Ace said with a chuckle. "I may have to lock you up so no one can take you."
"No worries over that," Crystal said hooking her thumb into Ace's back pocket.
Ace smirked doing the same to her, and pulling her close. Crystal looked up at the looming tower before them; reaching up to the clouds, and had multi-colored lights filtering out of the top windows. Crystal reached out and threw open the doors to the tower, making the music stop, and all the pirates there stare at her and the Whitebeard pirates.
"It's her."
"The Hijiri."
"It's Crystal Hijiri."
"It's Tenshi No Crystal."
Crystal looked over at the group that was crowding behind her and watching the pirates circling the whole tower. She sighed as she let go of Ace and walked forward.
"Go enjoy yourselves." Crystal told them turning around. She sighed again as they stood there watching her with dumb looks all over their faces. "These people are with me! Lets let them have a good time!" Crystal yelled out to the other pirates. Soon they heard cheers from all around, making the Whitebeard pirates relax and walk out.
"Who knew the Hijiri's looked so hot!"
"Would I like to get a hold of that!"
"Looks of an angel, but I bet she does it like a naughty little devil."
Ace glared around as he heard one rude comment after the other about Crystal. Ace watched as two rough pirates, with only pants on walked up to Crystal and trapped her from going anywhere.
"Can't wait to see Crystal kick their butts." Thatch said with a laugh.
"Leave the girl alone!" A voice shouted as a figure falls from three floors up and kicks on in the head, and leg sweeps the other. "Sorry about them, they act like they've never seen a girl."
A girl with choppy brown hair, and midnight blue eyes stands in front of Crystal with a smile. "Name's Mayumi."
Crystal smiles as she high fives Mayumi. "Nice to meet ya."
"Mayumi?" Thatch says walking up with a shocked look on his face.
Mayumi turns around and her eyes widen as she spots Thatch standing there. Her cheeks pinked as she looked Thatch up and down. "Thatch," She breathed out. "I thought you were dead."
Thatch shook his head as he never tore his gaze from hers. "Just hiding for awhile."
"You know each other?" Marco asked walking up.
"Yeah, we're childhood friends." Mayumi answered as she looked at Marco and Ace.
Sakura walked up to Crystal and smiled as both her and Crystal looked from Mayumi to Thatch and saw how both their cheeks were tinged with pink.
"We'll let you two catch up with each other." Crystal says.
Crystal hooks her arm through Ace's, as Sakura does the same to Marco's. The girl's drag them away from Thatch and Mayumi with smirks.
"We wanted to see what happens." Marco pouted.
"So you don't want to be close to me?" Sakura said teasingly. "I see, I guess Ace will just have me and Crystal."
Marco's jaw dropped as he watched Sakura walk over to Ace and loop her arm through his free one. Crystal held back a laugh as she leaned forward and stuck her tongue out at Sakura.
"I guess Ace will have extra fun, huh?" Crystal said jokingly.
"Oi! Oi!" Marco said catching up really quickly and trying to get Sakura to go back to him.
Sakura finally let go of Ace and hung onto Marco as Crystal joked teasingly to the two about how they need to get close and personal with each other. This caused a giant blush to appear on both their cheeks.
"Hey! Tenshi No Crystal!"
Crystal turned around slowly as she raised an eyebrow at the pirates standing there. She looked at the tattoo's printed on some of them with a slash straight over the face of the jolly roger. The scar pirates wanted her for something. They all parted for their commander as he dragged along a man with brown hair and hazel eyes.
"He came in with you," The commander said lifting up Takeshi for them to see. "Why is a Marine with you pirates?"
"We don't know him," Crystal said waving her hand and walking on.
"Cryyyyyyyyyyssssssstttttaaaa aaallllllll~" Takeshi whined as tears ran down his face exaggeratingly, and he tried running out of the mans grip. "Don't leave me!"
Crystal sighed as she let go of Ace and walked over to the Scar Pirates. "Okay, he's with us. He's an old friend. Now how about you let him go?"
"I will if you give me a kiss." The commander said with a smirk, showing some of his missing and rotting teeth.
Ace clenched his fists as he took a step forward.
"Sure," Crystal said, making Ace freeze and watch with wide eyes. Crystal stepped really close to the commander and stretched her arms up to grip his neck in her hand. She inched her face close as the man closed his eyes and smirked.
His crewmates behind him whistled and hooted as they waited for their commander to get a kiss from the infamous Tenshi No Crystal. Crystal smirked at the last moment and pulled quickly back as she pushed his head with her hand down as her knee came up and connected with his nose, breaking it, and causing blood to gush from it. He let go of Takeshi as he grabs his nose with his hands and stumbles backwards into his men. Takeshi scrambles behind the guys as Crystal looks smugly down at the commander.
"W-what the h-hell?!" The commander yelled as he looked up at her.
"I'm not going to kiss you!" Crystal yelled at him disgusted. "I would never kiss someone else other than the one I love!"
Ace blushed brightly as he covered his face with his hand and looked the other way, trying to compose himself. Marco chuckled as he looked at Ace and nudged Sakura to pay attention, making her laugh softly and turn her attention back to Crystal.
"You only got what you deserve." Crystal told him.
Crystal turned away from the men as she walked back over to the others.
"Okay! Let's get this party started!" The DJ yelled as he shut off the lights, and switched on the strobe, black, and multi-colored lights. The speakers blared with rave and club music, and the bodies began to move towards the middle of the towers.
"Let's go!" Crystal said with a smile on her face. She ran towards the center of the tower, and turned around to look for the others. She gasped as she shot up into the air with a cylinder platform underneath her, pushing her up into the air.
The platform underneath her lit up light a light bulb and wind was sent up around her making her hair fly around her gently. Crystal could feel the music through the platform and reverberate through her body. Crystal looked down at herself and realized her body was automatically moving to the beat with steps, jumps, dips, turns, and spins. Her body moving to the beat as her body lit up and felt weightless; like nothing could hold it down now.
She saw everyone watching her as she was lit up and shown, she couldn't help but feel self conscious about how she was, but the thrill of being up high, being weightless, and dancing with the music was too much for her to stop then and there.
"Got to give it to you Ace," Marco said with a smirk. "Your girl knows how to move."
Sabo came up and hit Marco on the head as they all laughed. Sabo lead Lily out to the dance floor, and soon Sakura and Marco followed them along with everyone else. Ace jumped from platform to platform till he reached Crystal's at the highest and stood behind her. He grabs her wrist and starts to spin her around as they both connect in a dance of spins, jumps, turns, gyrating, and closeness.
Hormones were flying through the air as the place filled with heat from all the moving bodies. The music beat against everyone as some were dancing alone, but most were dancing close to another. Crystal laughed as the platform she was on began to move with the others, and bob up and down, turning, and moving around the whole tower. Ace grabbed Crystal and jumped off the platform, catching her and spinning her as they continue to dance.
"Come on, let's go sit with the rest of our family." Crystal said, wanting a break to catch her breath.
"So you two finally decided to take a break?" Thatch said with a laugh.
Crystal looked from Thatch to Mayumi and smiled as she saw how close they were. "So you finally going to tell us what you two are?"
Mayumi laughed. "I like you. You're not like how everyone says you are."
"Uh, thanks?" Crystal said not knowing whether to take it as an insult or compliment.
"What did your old man do to get so big?" Mayumi asked her jokingly. "Eat fertilizer?"
"Yeah, you know I would just sprinkle it in his food."
Mayumi and Crystal laughed as they could see said blonde doing such a thing.
"Just get a drink." Thatch said chuckling.
"I don't think she can hold her liquor." Marco challenged.
Crystal narrowed her eyes at him playfully as she sat down across from him. "Bring it on. I can out drink you any time."
"I'll join," Jozu said sitting down.
The commanders all joined, along with Whitebeard, and other pirates from around the tower.
"This 'lil girl won't win anything with how small she is." A pirate from the scar group said.
"Yeah, her body will just up and fall over." Another joined in.
"What are we drinking?" Crystal said ignoring the others. "Shots? Margaritas? Tequila? Beer? Rum?"
Marco looked around at all the competitors and smiled. "How about a shot, mixed with all the alcohol's?"
"A hell mary?" Crystal asked perking up. "Bring it."
They ordered a round for everyone, and most just threw it back. Crystal breathed out with a sigh as she slammed her shot down and smiled across the table at Marco.
"Two more!" Marco yelled happy she didn't quit after the first.
Marco and Crystal threw them back as pirate after pirate dropped over drunk and no longer able to drink. Finally it was their 15th shot and it was only Marco and Crystal left. Ace had backed out not wanting to get any more drunk than he was, and Whitebeard stopped after Takeshi wanted to talk with him. Crystal was buzzed with a faint, but apparent, flush on her face. Marco on the other hand was becoming quiet whoozy, but was hiding it very well.
"One of you has got to give," Thatch said shaking his head.
"It won't be me," Crystal said with a laugh.
"We'll see," Marco slurred.
The waitress who had to deal with all the drinks since the beginning was actually anticipating the end and couldn't wait to see who won. The whole club had stopped to watch them as they bet on if the man or the woman would win the drinking competition.
"Marco will win for sure."
"No way, do you see her? She's hardly drunk!"
"I say the girl'll win."
"I say Marco will."
Crystal down another one as she waited for Marco to take his down.
"Let's make this more interesting." she offered. "I'll ask a question, and if you answer with a lie, and I say it is, you have to take off a piece of clothing." Marco looked at her with a raised eyebrow. "But if I get it wrong and you're not lying, I have to take it off."
Marco smirked as he finally downed his shot, and nodded. "Deal.
"Okay." Crystal said smirking. "Are you always so laid back?"
"No," Marco said looking at her. "Have you ever thought about joining your parents side?"
"No," Crystal said tipping back another shot.
"Lie." Marco said tipping his last one back.
Crystal drank hers as she smiled and shook her head. "Not a lie. I saw what they did and promised never to go on their side."
Marco pouted as he shrugged and slid of his shirt.
"Have you and Sakura kissed yet?" Crystal asked with a smirk.
"No," Marco said smirking.
"Lie," Crystal said, but regretted it as Marco's smirk grew wider.
"It's the truth," Marco said victoriously.
Crystal shook her head as she slid both her shoes off. Crystal and Marco played the game back and forth until it left Marco in only his capri's, and Crystal with only her shorts and bikini top. All accessories were thrown off, and all other add-on's were gone.
They were on their 25th shot when Marco finally fell over drunk and unconscious.
"Yeah!" Crystal slurred as she jumped up from her chair and onto the table. The pirates around roared out, as the ones who won their little bet cheered and the ones who lost still cheered in the great competition.
Crystal's shorts slid precariously down onto her hips as the threatened to fall, showing the side of her underwear that sat on her hip. Her top was loosening as the strings slowly began to come undone, and the top threatened to come off.
"Crystal, I think it's time you come down." Thatch said holding his hand out.
Crystal pouts as she crosses her arms over her chest, pushing her chest together, and showing the crowd cleavage galore. Whitebeard began to laugh as Thatch and Sabo tried desperately to get Crystal down, and watching for her clothes to fall.
Crystal jumped to another table, but dizziness over took her as her foot hit the edge and she began to fall backwards. Crystal fell into two strong arms as they pulled her close and held her shorts close and top up. Crystal looked up with a dopey smile at Ace as he sighed and chuckled at her with a smile. Crystal heard Ace talking to the others, but it was all muffled in her ears, and she couldn't tell what he was saying, or what the others were saying in reply. She felt Ace carry her away as her head lolled onto his shoulder.
Ace mumbled something as Crystal felt something soft underneath. Crystal opened her eyes as she looked up at Ace and grumbled.
"I said, I'm never letting you drink that much again." Ace chuckled softly.
Crystal watched as Ace walked across the room and took off his boots, hat, necklace, belts, and belt buckle. He walked back over and sat on the edge of the bed; he let out a deep sigh as he ran his hand through his hair. Crystal watched as the muscles in his back stretched from his movement, and his hair lay lightly against his neck.
Crystal got up as she crawled across the bed and stood up on her knees behind Ace. She reached her hand up and ran it along his back as she traced the Whitebeard tattoo displayed on his shoulder blades. She leaned down and kissed the top of the tattoo on his shoulder, and she felt him stiffen underneath her touch.
Ace turned around and grabbed her wrist as he looked at her carefully. Crystal could see the light sheen of sweat on his skin, the deepness of his brown eyes that shone with a slight light, the way his hair ruffled and curved around his face sexily, and the way his muscles strained in anticipation. Crystal leaned forward as she put her lips on his; Ace reacted with surprise for a second before his body took over and his lips fiercely moved with hers. His hand slid up her arm and around her shoulder as he turned his whole body and pushed her back onto the bed.
"Ace," Crystal whispered as they broke apart for air.
Her heart was beating so fast it felt like it would fall out of her chest, and Ace's heart was beating so hard he could swear Crystal could feel it. Crystal's face was flushed and her body already covered in a light sheen of sweat from the dancing and drinking before.
"Ace," Crystal whispered again groaning. "It's hot, help me take it off." Crystal began to unbutton and unzip her shorts, then reach for her strings on her top, before Ace could stop her.
"How can you be so teasing?" He asked with a groan. He grabbed the blanket and threw it over her, before he kissed her on the lips again, lingering for a moment, and walking back out the door. "Get some sleep."
Ace ran his hand through his hair again as he walked outside into the cool air, letting it cool and slow his mind and heart down.
"You put Crystal down?" Mayumi said walking over with Thatch, Sabo, Lily, and Sakura.
"Yeah," He replied with a small smile.
"It looks like she caused you some torment." Sabo said laughing.
"You have no idea." Ace said looking at his brother.
"I see why Crystal appreciates you." Sakura said making Lily nod, and the others look at her confused. "Not many guys would take enough control to stop and leave."
"You two should just go all the way already." Thatch said.
Ace blushed fiercely as the others laughed and joked around. Whitebeard walked up with Takeshi with faces that told, there was no joking coming.
"What's up pops?" Ace asked as he stopped laughing.
Whitebeard looked down at Takeshi as the Marine looked at all of them seriously.
"The reason I wanted to come to this island was to find information. And I found what I was looking for." Takeshi told them, making Sabo and Lily stiffen. "Crystal's parents are planning an attack very soon. Right now, there are people here, working to grab Crystal, and take her forcefully."
"What?" Sabo said angrily.
"They want her powers, and they found a way to take them, even if it kills her." Takeshi said.
Everyone stood silent and frozen as they processed what Takeshi had said.
"But if that were true," Mayumi said looking back at the tower. "We need to get back to Crystal."
"Yeah," Lily said turning quickly. "We need to have someone with her."
Everyone turned to walk to the tower, ready to protect her at all costs.
"We need to hurry, before…" Sakura began but stopped.
A scream pierced the air from the tower; one that made Ace's blood freeze. His heart stopped as he recognized it from anywhere, and knew that something had to be wrong for her to scream like that. Ace took off towards the tower, causing everyone else to snap out of it and run after him.
