Again, if you have already seen this, give yourself a pat on the back. I hope EVERYONE can see it now! I have gotten many messages about it, I'm sorry for worrying you all!
/================================================================================================/
Hands wrapped around my torso, they were Thatch's. "You ok, Red? You have been staring at it for ten minutes now." I was still on the ship, glancing down at the ground of my home land. The commanders and my family were behind me, not knowing what to say. A hand grabbed onto mine, "you don't have to go now, yoi." Marco mumbled in my ear.
His voice brought chills down my spine and woke me up from my trans. "Ace, Sabo, Luffy, Nako, Kid, want to go to the Gray Terminal? Maybe kick some ass?" My body turned to face my brothers. The grin on my face attached to their faces as well.
"Yeah!" They shouted.
"Before you go, I would like to have a talk with Red."
My body turned to Pops. I nodded and followed him inside his room, my father joined as well. When we got inside, I was tackled into a hug by my father, "I'm so sorry Red. I didn't come there early enough. I had to get your mother and fight Kaido… I'm sorry. I know these aren't good enough."
Dad visited me while I was still in the nursing center but was quiet. I knew this was why… "dad." I mumbled, unattaching my body from his arms. I looked up at my father, eyes filled with worry and grief. Even if I tried to hide my emotions, someone would end up finding out.
Soft hands touched my father's cheek. My thumbs directed his face to look at mine. "Please don't think it is your fault… you know what Dagger would say if he heard that." My arms wrapped around my father's neck and my face crashed against his chest. I know what my brother would say… even if you came earlier, I still would have done it. A million times over.
A grumble came from Pops, my eyes trailed towards him. "Yes, Pops?"
"Hey! I am your dad! Not him!" Shanks whined, wiping a tear from his eye. Ah, so this is what they wanted to talk about. "I can't have two?" I asked in a curious tone. They both seem like fathers to me, I have never thought about how my father would react to that.
Whitebeard chuckled, "you are dating Marco, so yes. Gurarara!"
Shanks's eyes sharpened, "my daughter won't date anyone until I'm dead and buried!" I mean if you don't count the blow job I gave Marco an hour ago, and the fact that I love him. You could say I'm single? Though, I will not be saying that out loud.
Ever.
Whitebeard busted into a fit of laughter from the statement while my dad continued to shout. "Dad, Pops, I have a favor to ask you." Both men quieted down from my stern tone. Something is on my mind, something that I think would help me through this tough time. If only a little. "Can I get another tattoo on my abdomen?"
Both scrunched their brows, I have never asked either one of them if I was aloud to get a tattoo. But they will learn why when I tell them what the tattoo means.

Marco pov
Ace pulled at my arm until I was off the ship. I wanted to wait and stay for Red, but the freckled brunette wouldn't take no for an answer. "She can get into your pants later! You need to see the club house!" He insisted.
"Ace, I don't need her in my pants, yoi! I miss her!" I yelled. The second commander stopped in his tracks, he turned to me with a small grin. "She'll be ok." After the statement, he continued to drag me.
It was nice seeing Ace smile again, he hasn't done it in so long. Luffy and Sabo followed behind me. Showing the same fondness to the comfortable atmosphere. We stayed at the clubhouse for an hour, I wasn't surprised that the three men did so much at such a young age. After the club house, we caught up with Kid and Nako. All five of the brothers went on a rampage in the Gray Terminal.
Next, here we are. In front of the bar Red and them grew up in. I have heard many stories about the place. I can almost see the siblings running around here like there is no tomorrow. To think one of those siblings has no tomorrow. Red… A thought came to mind. "Ace, yoi?" The second commander turned to look at me with a brow raised.
"Did you get your memories back?" I asked. When we first found Red, Ace and some others were at a bar. They don't remember most of the night, but Ace's memories were messed up because of it. At first, the crew thought Dagger, who we thought was the bar tender at the time. Was getting rid of the fact they saw his face, because of his clear similarities to my redheaded lover. But, when Dagger took Red away, other memories came back to Ace. Other memories that involved the redhead and his childhood with her.
Ace doesn't know how or why, but he had forgotten them. That is why he was so shocked when Red said her mother was Makino. The freckled brunette thought he would remember that. Sabo and Luffy remembered it, but for some reason he didn't. Ace shook his head, "only a few, but not all." I nodded before opening the doors to the bar.
Two women were waiting in the front, one was Makino, the other was one I have never seen before. But… Ace had. The brunette straightened his back as his eyes grew wide from nervousness. "Dadan!" He chirped in a high-pitched voice. Oh, I have heard of her. Red has told me about the woman and her mountain bandit crew. "Ace." The woman snorted back.
She had orange curly hair, tanned skin, big lips, a broad chin, and three cigarettes in her mouth. I don't think that is healthy? I walked forward to greet Makino, "Hello mis-"
"Call me Makino." The mother insisted. She has asked me to call her that before, but it always feels weird when doing so. I gave the woman a small smile before I felt a large hand grip my shoulder. It was the curly haired woman who now had four cigarettes in her mouth. When did she get another one? "We need to talk."
Her cold voice and deadly tone made me shiver. That is when I remembered words said to me over a month ago. 'After Shanks comes the scariest one… her mother Makino.' But the mother doesn't seem all that bad… was that a joke?
Makino waved her hand in the air, "now, now, Dadan, we are going to talk to him once Shanks and the rest get here." Wait… what? The wooden front doors clicked together. displaying the father and grandfather of my girlfriend. Garp and Shanks held sinister looks when they saw me. Oh shit.
"Come on Marco, why don't we go upstairs? Nako, Kid! Hurry up, Ace, Sabo, Luffy, you guys too!" Shanks shouted. Oh yeah, let's get the whole gang together to beat the crap out of me. This is going to be great. Swell. Dandy.
I trudged up the packed staircase until we made it into one of the rooms. It looked like a playroom for the four siblings. Around the walls were pictures of their childhood, to bad I couldn't look at it. "So Marco, you know why you're here." I swallowed from Garp's tone. I felt like the stupid fucker that goes into the basement. So many people have warned me not to go into the dark hell called a relationship, but here I am. Perched at the basement door ready to be killed.
My frame was placed between Ace and Sabo, that isn't too bad. Shanks and Makino were in front of me and the rest glared at me from the sides. Killer and Law were also here, adding to my losing chances. "Yes, I do, yoi." I spoke up. I can't show fear, knowing this family, they feed off of it.
"Ace, you know Marco well, what is your opinion?" The father asked. For once in your life Ace, don't be a pain in my ass, I beg you. The freckled brunette looked at me and gave me an assuring smile. My shoulders relaxed from the look… well they did but-
"He is not suited."
What the hell do you mean I'm not suited!? My blue orbs sharpened at the freckled idiot next to me. "There have been many situations in which Marco has taken advantage of Red." What! When! What the hell?
Ace propped up his chin, "he even proposed to her without asking you. Here are the pictures." His hand tossed pictures on the table. My brain almost blew up when I saw the pictures from the Davy Back Battle. "That was for the Davy Back Battle, yoi! What are you talking about!?"
"Silence, everyone will get a chance for you to talk." Makino redirected, playing the judge in the case. The case of my death. Ace nodded with his point made and leaned against the wall of the room. I saw him shudder from the glare I placed on him. My blue eyes leaking out malevolence towards the... idiotic, big mouthed, freckled bastard I call my brother.
The speaking went counterclockwise, meaning it was now time for Law to speak. I don't know what the surgeon of death thinks about me, but I don't put too much faith in it. Law cleared his throat before speaking, "I vote a yes. He is suited." Thank the gods.
"Why is that Law?" Makino asked. She has gotten to know the surgeon well, he is the reason her daughter is alive. "Marco is the reason Red made it this far. He cares for her and helps her when she does something stupid, which happens a lot. My vote is a yes."
More turns were made. Ace, Dadan, Garp, Shanks and Kid said no while Law, Nako, Luffy, Sabo, and Killer said yes. The last vote was Makino, when I tried to talk, she shushed me. "I have already made my decision, there is no need."
A lump formed in my throat. I tried to swallow it as she looked at me with scanning eyes. A genuine smile fell onto her lips, "I approve of you, I know how well you take care of my daughter...she told me herself."
Makino looked at her daughter in her frail state. It has been a day since her and Yamato's fight, but even so, Red was healing nicely. Only weak from lack of food. "Are you ok my dear?" The mother caressed her daughter's cheek to sooth her.
"I'm fine mom, now where was I? Oh, I love this pirate crew! It reminds me of dad's!" Red said with a small grin. The happiness in her daughter's voice made Makino shed a tear. She missed her lovely children, her pride and joys. "I can tell you like that first commander the most." The mother whispered.
Small splotches of crimson bubbled in the redhead's face, "ho-ow do you know?" She asked in a low voice.
"Whitebeard, Benn, and Yasopp told me. Is it true? Are you guys serious?"
Red shrunk a little from her mother's gaze, "yes… I love him."
"Does he make you happy?"
"Always."
"My daughter is a great judge of character, looks like she picked you. You better keep her safe." I nodded to the mother, looks like I got the trust of the best one.
Shanks gripped his wife with pleading eyes, "Makino~ I won't let that stupid pineapple take my baby girl!" He cried. Makino waved for me to go as she talked to the others. Leaving the room, my hands tucked behind my head as I walked around the upstairs. My feet stopped me at a cracked door.
Curiosity got the better of me. I walked in the room, a small bed was in the corner and a desk was on the right. Decorating the walls were pictures taken from years ago, but, above the desk didn't have pictures. It had bounty posters.
I walked closer to get a better look. One was Shanks's from a long time ago, his bounty only half of what it is now. Next to it was Rayleigh's- "what is that, yoi?" There was a tattered paper sticking out from under the two. My hands picked them up with a gentle touch, revealing an unexpected bounty. Gol D. Roger's.
Why would Dagger have his poster? Notes were on Roger's poster.
'May fifth, 19 years ago.'
'December 31st, around 60 years ago.'
'January first, 20 years ago.'
'August 3, 40 years ago'
'March 6th, 125 years ago.'
'May 2, 78 years ago.'
'October 5th, 55 years ago.'
'June 10th.'
'October 6, 23 years ago'
'October 6, 23 years ago'
What is so important about these? Are- wait… January 1st is Ace's birthday. December 31st is Roger's… was he looking into Ace? But there are other dates… The August one sounds familiar. It's Teach's.
I rubbed my chin as I continued to ponder on the notes the genius brother made. What do they have in common? The D! Was he looking into that? Why? This man never ceases to amaze me… might as well look through it.
=_-_YKRT_-_=
Red pov.
I hissed through my teeth from the water stinging my new inked skin. I was trying to take a bath on the Moby Dick, even with my sore flesh. "Why are you trying to bathe Red? Aren't you still tired?" Yamato asked with a brow raised.
On the Moby Dick, there are two large bathrooms. One for the guys and one for the girls. It's great being on this crew since they're only two girls including me. Yamato and Kiku are also here, along with Thatch. "I'm ok, I don't want to be dirty." My ass hit the small bench lined around the walls of the bath with a sigh.
My hair was sticking to my body and hot breaths came out of me in puffs. A waterproof bandage covered my new tattoo to block everyone from seeing it. Yamato looked down at me. The woman is around eight feet tall while Kiku is seven. I'm the short one out of the group. Which also includes Thatch. Since she has become close to Kiku and Yamato, she is indulging in the 'make me feel short' club.
Kiku had a long talk with the cheery commander about why she would want to date Izo. It ended in laughs and giggles. Because that's what Thatch does.
Yamato's brow started to wiggle, "you don't want to be dirty for your commander." Her taunting voice made my cheeks pinken. "Wh-y do you say commander like that?"
All I got was an amused grin as a response, along with a few chuckles from Kiku. My head snapped in the samurai's direction, "what?" I snorted. She clasped her hand over her mouth and continued to laugh at me for an unknown reason. Why do I have a feeling these two are about to make my life hell? Thatch took a seat in front of me, "you are very pretty Red." She said with a smile.
I smiled too, "thank you, so are you-" my voice was cut off by louder laughter, this time from Yamato. "Red, what size are you?" Without a warning, Thatch's hand grabbed my breast. I would have yelled, but her touch doesn't affect me. Hancock used to do it all the time as well, I don't see the big deal. "I don't know what size I am." I answered in an emotionless tone. My eyes sharpened from the laughter all three of the women were now giving off.
"Tell me why you're laughing!" I shouted, directed to Yamato. The three women took a second but gained their oxygen back. "So if someone else touches you, you won't care, but if they say his name-"
"Who's name?" I cut off. I don't understand what is going on, I need to pay attention more.
Yamato scooted closer to me until all I could see was her large grin. "Marco's name of course. All I have to do is talk about him and you'll get so flustered." Her statement made me bite my lip. I hoped the pain would keep me from blushing, but it didn't. My rosy cheeks made Yamato grin more, "this is adorable, I have never seen you blush."
An embarrassed snort left me, "I- he- shut up!" At this point, I don't even know why I try to talk anymore. No matter how much I try, I can never stop stuttering when it comes to my pineapple head. "You get cuter!" Kiku squealed. She pulled me onto her lap and wrapped her arms around me. Her mounds pressed against my bare back. I showed them my back yesterday, it turns out both had already seen it after me and Yamato had a match for the first time. Neither pried on what happened, they only comforted me. "Kiku… it's not a big deal." I said with a sigh.
Yamato shook her head, "it's a very big deal, I never thought you would end up with someone. Much less the commander. I thought Boa would get to you at some point."
"Hey! Stop saying commander like that!" I shouted, pressing my knees against Kiku's. The woman I was sitting on leaned closer to my ear until I could feel her puffs of air. "Your commander." A shiver went down my spine and my horns twitched. My tail shook on my thigh, as if anxious for something. "W-hat i-s wrong with you- Thatch! Stop groping me!" The cheery woman only grinned as she continued to play with my mounds.
"I wonder how you two make it in public without touching each other. It seems like he has a major effect on you~ have you done it yet." Yamato said in a hum. She gave me a side glance, but my eyes flickered away. "There is no way I'm telling them about what happened this morning." I hissed through my teeth.
Thatch laughed, "you know you said that out loud right?" My mortified face made all three of the women laugh. Kiku clapped her hands together in excitement, "so… tell us!"
No, no! There is no way I can talk about that without steam shooting out of my ears. My crimson orbs flicked around, I was surrounded. Kiku was behind me, a wall was on my right, Thatch was in front, and Yamato was on my left. I swear they planned this from the start. "Tell us… or. We can keep making fun of you about the commander until he has to come here to 'take care' of you." Yamato snickered.
My frame froze, "you're the devil!" I yelled.
Yamato shook her head, "I'm afraid that would be you, Dem Dem."
A snort came from me, "it's not a big deal…"
"Tell us!" Thatch cheered. Great, I even have her attention. She is going to tell Izo and Ace and I'm going to crawl in a hole and die. Perfect. "How about we guess, and you nod if it's correct?" Kiku proposed.
I didn't even get to nod before Yamato started to guess. "Blowjob?" My eyes almost popped out of my head, how did she already guess it?! That's unnatural! "So I'm right? From your face I can tell I am. I'm so proud of you Red!" The faded haired woman wrapped her arms around me and brought me to her chest. Why the hell is she so proud?! I swear I have the weirdest friends!
Muffles of curses came from me as Thatch started to frown, "I'm happy for you, but now I owe Izo 30 bucks." My head poked out. "Yo-u guys bet on us!?"
Thatch nodded, as if it didn't make a vein pop out of my head. "Izo said that when you get better, you won't last a week without doing something sexual. I had more faith in you and said after. Ace and Sabo said a day."
Wow, so much damn faith in me… wait… Izo was right though! Ugh! I hate when that happens! Which is a lot, ugh! "I would have said the hour she wakes up." Yamato and Kiku said in unison.
"Shut up you two! I can keep myself under control!"
"You want to put money where your mouth is?"
Like the idiot I am, I nodded, starting the hell known as my day. Yamato, Kiku, and Thatch all placed bets on when I would crack today. The bet is that I have to last the whole day without kissing, or doing anything sexual with Marco. "C-an I hug him?" I asked in a low and desperate tone.
The four of us were now changed and in Izo's room, since the man is controlling my outfits. He was by my knee fixing the dress he is making me wear. It wasn't only me, Kiku made her and Yamato a dress as well. None of the women have told me why I am wearing this monstrosity. But there is something more important needed to be talked about.
Izo's sharp eyes met with my desperate ones, "aw, you have it bad for him~ don't you." I gave an embarrassed nod. Izo pulled a smile and tapped his slim finger on my pointed nose, "nope." He said, popping the 'p' and dragging out the 'n'. I puffed out my cheeks, "Thatch! Seduce him!" I yelled, pointing at the pretty man.
A crack sound came from Izo because of the command, "I will not be seduced! Unlike you, I have more willpower!" A falling object caught Izo's attention. Next thing he knows, his sleeve is being tugged on. Thatch's small hand pulled at the fabric until the pretty man turned around. Her nose was red from falling on her face. The dress's thin straps on her shoulders were slipping off. Her eyes shimmered with tears from the slight stinging on her nose. She waved her hand in front of her face and looked at Izo, "It's too big, and I fell!" She whined
"Kiss it better Izo, it hurts." She said, pointing to her irritated nose. Izo stared at her, adored by her cuteness. Dammit, why is she so cute? "Fine." He said with a sigh before tapping his lips on her nose. She grinned and grabbed the man into a hug, "you're so nice Izo!"
"I'm only nice to you Thatch." He reasoned.
Thatch let go of her boyfriend and shook her head, "no, your nice to everyone! Right Red?" The cheery commander beamed at me. "I don't know." One of my hands placed on my hips while my eyes glared at Izo's. "Are you?"
Izo pursed his lips, knowing what I'm trying to do. "N-" The pretty man stopped himself when he saw the blissful expression on Thatch's face. Jeez, I'm going to get my first gray hair from these two. Not to mention Ace. "Fine Red, you can hug him. But nothing else!"
Me and Thatch cheered together, "we should do this more often!" Thatch smiled. I nodded with a chuckle. My eyes trailed to Izo, who was rolling his with an exhausted expression. "Evil."
