Macey: What!?

Macey: run.
Reviews at the end then! bye! *running off with Macey chasing after me*
Chapter 9
Macey stopped as she soon as she heard Don shout her name as it brought her back to reality, clearing her mind of the Celestial Dragon's words. Macey looked around her and went a little pale, shit, she let her Haki get out control! She could have hurt someone! Are Don and Marc okay!? What about Sabo, Ace and Luffy?!
Macey looked at the three younger boys who seemed… okay… oh thank god! Though Ace and Luffy seemed to be in a better condition than Sabo.
"Are you guys okay?" Macey asked as she ran over to them.
"I think so…" Sabo nodded slowly, damn, whatever the hell that was. It almost got the better of him! What the hell was that!?
"Are you sure Sabo?" Luffy asked, a little worried.
"Yeah Lu, I am," the blonde nodded as he got up. "Are you guys alright?"
"Yep!" the little raven nodded.
"What the hell was that?!" the older raven yelled at the blonde girl. "What the hell did you do!? How the hell did you do that!?"
Macey looked away from Ace, she was a little embarrassed that she let what the Celestial Dragon say get to her like that. Damn it, she could have hurt someone really badly if she let her Haki get out of control like that!
Macey can't let that happen again!
The three boys just stared at her. So far, the girl hasn't lied to them and has been up front with information when they have wanted it or has explained things when they have asked; they just hoped that she didn't stop now. Macey wouldn't start lying to them now or stop explaining things to them now, would she…?
"It's called Haki," Macey explained as she walked over to check on Marc and Don with the three younger boys following her. "It's something that every living thing is born with. There are three types of Haki. Observation Haki and Armament Haki. Observation Haki is pretty much where someone can sense the presence of other beings and predict their movements. Like how I could dodge the enemy's moves, because I could sense/tell they were coming because of my Observation Haki. Armament Haki is where someone can envelop a part of their body and can stop inanimate objects like swords for example, with a force akin to invisible armour. It can be used for defensive and offensive properties; it also allows someone to inflict harm upon Devil Fruiters users and eaters. Everyone can use theses if they want too and train themselves too, though not everyone does nor do they even try. It's quite dormant in most people really."
"That must be how Shitty Gramps can hit and harm Lu even though he's made rubber," Sabo commented. "This Armament Haki thing."
"Probably," Macey nodded in agreement, even though she didn't really know who Sabo was talking about. "Then there's the rarest form of Haki, Conqueror Haki, it enables someone to intimidate or render beings of weak or weaker determination unconscious. It's something that only a select few are born with and something that someone can't train to have because you have to be born with it to start with. Something like one in a million are born with it. And those who have are said to be have the quality and are born with it are destined to be kings. To stand above the rest was what someone told me one time though I can't remember who said it. I am one of those people. What you guys felt… what I lost control of from the damn ranting of the asshole world noble… it was my Conqueror's Haki. Sorry, I never should have lost control like that. I should know better than that. Conqueror's Haki can hurt people if the user isn't careful. Sorry."
"It's fine," the blonde boy smiled. "It was an accident."
"I wonder if that's what I have…?" the older raven muttered.
What…? Ace thinks he might be born with Conqueror Haki? Well, Macey did sense a wave of Conqueror Haki the night of the fire… it could have been Ace…
"Hey Ace!" the little raven hair boy said to the older. "It must be what Shanks and you have! Shanks made a big sea king run away and you made Bluejam's crew faint!"
"What!?" Sabo shouted, not knowing any of this, especially the part of Ace making Bluejam's crew faint.
Shanks…? Who the hell is Shanks…?
"Can you teach me!?" Ace asked Macey- almost begging her. "How use and control this Haki thing!?"
Macey was a little surprised that he asked her to teach him how to use it. Not that Macey had a problem with it. She was more than happy to teach Ace, hell, she was more than happy to teach anyone that was happy to learn about Haki from her. As long they as they understood that she is was learning about it herself. She's not an expert at it, she has just had a lot of practise and was kind of a natural at it. Both of her parents being expert Haki users kind of does that for someone, plus her mum taught her most of it and there is a little that Macey has learned on her own and/or has read as well. Plus, there were Haki researchers from Isila as well.
"Sure," Macey nodded, she had no problems with teaching Ace about Haki since he really seemed to learn about it. "Though I'm not sure how much I can teach you since I'm still learning most of it myself. But I can teach you the basics and what I know about it. Okay?"
Ace nodded his head in agreement. He was fine with that as long as he could learn how to use it and how to control it!
"Me too! Me too!" Luffy begged.
"Don't forget about me!" Sabo put in, "Either of you!"
Sabo wasn't going to let it go that Ace never told him about the whole mess with Bluejam.
"Sure, I can teach whoever wants to learn," Macey smiled as she tied up the Celestial Dragon and his people then took over the ship and sailed it back to the docks. "But first, we have to settle our thing with the Celestial Dragon then Ace can tell me about how he unlocked/first used his Conqueror Haki then we start leaning about Haki. Okay?"
"Okay Macey!" the three boys agreed.
Ace loved it, the girl didn't lie and even though she kept secrets, but if you asked her about it she was more than happy to answer any questions you have. Ace has never met someone like her, it was great! Plus, she didn't seem to care or mind if you had your own secrets, in fact, she was more than happy for you to have them a long as it didn't put the crew in danger.
Ace knew his secret could put them in danger if the wrong people knew it. But so far, the only people that knew it were Sabo, Luffy, Shitty Gramps and Dadan and her mountain bandits. Ace wasn't sure if he would tell it to Macey, he didn't want her to hate him or change her mind about helping them or teaching them. But if things keep going like they are… if she doesn't lie to them… if she kept trusting them and if she kept earning their trust like this… if Luffy and Sabo think she is worthy and if Macey is willing to overlook that man's blood and not tell anyone… then maybe, just maybe, Ace will tell her. But not right now, Ace wasn't ready for any of that yet. But maybe one day.
Present time…
Kaitlyn kept to the shadows as best as she could. She had learned a lot, over the past three years.
One- a lot of people seem to have in their head that blood matters when it doesn't.
Two- working with people normally ends up with someone dead- whether it yourself, them or the people they decide to get involved like the Hippocrates (aka the Marines and Government Dictators). Kaitlyn has yet to be dead so it's always the other people who end up dead.
Three- people seemed to freak out when they see blood, either it's yours or someone else's so it was always better to wear something to keep the blood strains and your face hidden, like right now. Kaitlyn was wearing a cloak to keep her face hidden and her blood strained appearance and clothes hidden so that no one freaks out and draws undue attention to her.
Four- old draggers are only good weapons for so long and making sure you take care of your new weapon is always a good idea.
Five- being able to control and manipulate blood to an exact is fun. After all, Kaitlyn can only really control and manipulate her own blood not someone else's. Though it always good when Kaitlyn is able to infect someone with her blood, then she is able to control and manipulate him or her then.
And six- the whole world, no matter what town or place you go, seems to run on the theory of either kill or be killed. Survival of the fittest, and Kaitlyn will be of the fittest. She wasn't going to dead. Not yet. Not till she is able to do two things- one, her best want, to be accepted for her own person, not what her parents are. And two, her dream, her dream of making the 'real evil' of the world pay.
What is the 'real evil' of the world? Easy- the World Government; the Marines, the Nobles, the World Nobles, Government Officials, people who make others believe that they shouldn't been or say that people shouldn't have been born, and any one that she sees as her enemy.
Now all Kaitlyn needs to do is find a way to the next island without being discovered or noticed. After all, when you're an eight-year-old kid worth 125, 000,000 belli. It's hard to not be noticed, especially with the epithet as Bloody Nightmare Kaitlyn- known for killing all kinds of Hippocrates (Marines, Nobles and a few World Government Officials).
Macey smiled as she watched Ace, Sabo and Luffy dress the Celestial Dragon up in different clothes and had him tied up to a pole in the middle of the street. Don, Sin and Marc were keeping the Nobles, the Royals and everyone else away. While Jack and Max had tied up the bodyguards and Macey had fun helping Ace, Sabo and Luffy dress them up too.
The Celestial Dragon's bodyguards were all dressed in girly outfits- some dresses, some skirts, some boots and some heels and other things. Luffy had done the makeup so they kind of looked like clowns and Macey helped with the make-up too, they just looked weird, not like clowns which were funny, they looked like… no-one was sure what they were meant to be… they kind looked like a cross between an animal like a cat or rabbit or dog and a fruit… it was really weird, kind of funny, okay really funny to look at.
For the Celestial Dragon, well, Macey decided it would be good to just let the boys have their own way with the poor unconscious man. The man is totally going to regret coming here now and Macey loved it.
Macey admired the boys' handy work once they were finished.
The Celestial Dragon was wearing an oversize and very ugly blue dress, black heels, wearing a long curly orange hair wig and clown like make-up, the man even had a red nose- it was great! Macey and the Freedom Fighters loved it! They have never seen anything like it!
And the weird outfit that the Celestial Dragon was wearing before?
Well, it was now somewhere in the ocean.
Macey clapped her hands together as she and the other admired the boys' work, "Well, boys and Freedom Fighters. Now that we're done here. Let's go!"
"Right Macey!" the three boys nodded.
"Right Captain!" the crew cheered.
A few days in the future…
Kaitlyn ate the food off the plate that the nice older girl had given her. The older girl had heard her rumbling stomach before she had seen Kaitlyn herself. The teenager waitress had meant to throw all of the leftover food out, even though it was still good but instead of throwing it out, especially after hearing the rumbling stomach of younger girl, she gave her the food to eat instead.
It wasn't the first time that a stranger had taken pity on her and given her free food. Normally Kaitlyn would be a little mistrusting of it but she hadn't really eaten almost a month now so Kaitlyn was too hungry to care right now.
"I'm Kay," the waitress smiled, "And you are?"
"Kaitlyn…" the girl said very quietly.
"Nice to meet you Kaitlyn," the older girl smiled. "You're not from around here, are you?"
Kaitlyn slowly nodded her head for yes, that was right, Kaitlyn wasn't from here.
"I'm not either," Kay laughed. "But I've been here for about, um… five months now? Close enough to five months. Are you by yourself?"
Kaitlyn said nothing as she was trying to work out either or not to answer the question. So far the waitress, Kay, she hasn't done anything to hurt Kaitlyn…
"You don't have to answer," Kay smiled as she heard the drunk idiots back in the inn getting really loud, "Anyway, I have to get back to work. If you're still here tomorrow, come on by. I'll feed you again, even though it's only leftovers but it's better nothing, right? Okay?"
Kaitlyn slowly nodded her head for yes and to agree with the older girl. Free food sounded good to her.
"Then see you tomorrow my friend," Kay smiled as she went back inside.
Friend… that was something that Kaitlyn hasn't had in a very long time…
Somewhere in the New World on the Moby Dick, still two weeks in the future…
Marco couldn't stop smiling or laughing about the article that Mace and the Freedom Fighters were in. Even though he knew what Macey and her crew did was, well, pretty crazy and insane. The blonde man still couldn't help but feel a little proud of what she did. Of standing up against one of the worst people of the world and put that person in their place. Marco couldn't help but feel proud, worried and a little scared of what could, what will happen to her now. Maybe Izo and the others are right, maybe Marco is an doting father. Not that he would admit that out loud to them.
Marco just hoped that Macey knew what she was getting herself and her crew into and that it doesn't they didn't go in over their heads. That they had to be careful and lay low again until the heat from this dies down. The last thing that Marco wants is for Macey and her crew to get caught then have to talk not only himself but also Pops and the crew out having to go save her.
Marco was sure that Macey wouldn't get in over her head. She was her parents' daughter after all, hopefully. And also hopefully, West will see how she is going and get back here in one piece. Hopefully.
Though right now, all Marco really wants to do is fly off, join West and physically made sure that Macey is okay himself then drag her and her own crew here to join him, Pops and the others and not have to worry about them. But Marco won't do that, because if he was going to, he would have done it the day that Naomi left because he would have dragged her back to ship to stay and join to them properly, to stay with them, and Macey would have been here with them, instead of back in the West Blue.
But as Naomi told Marco- destiny has her own plans for them and their path just happens to be on different ones right now. But one day, if they are lucky, they will be put together on the same path again.
Even though Marco couldn't have that with Naomi anymore. He sure as hell hoped that he would be able to have with Macey. He really hoped that their paths crossed and if he was lucky, one day soon.
Macey: when does Kaitlyn join us!?
Soon. *rubbing my face and back and legs where i got hit when Macey caught me* damn you hit hard.
Macey: I might have use Haki.
You what!?
Macey: reviews!
why you little... fine!
to the guest reviewer Sarah (guest): yikes 0_0! um... how do i repsonse to this...? what part of the last chapter was yikes? the part of Kaitlyn's past? the part where Macey lsot control of her Haki? what?
Macey: maybe the chapter as a whole with everything in it...?
maybe. okay! next!
Dray-Bones-Zeros- my favourite reveiwer and fan for this stroy. i love you.
Macey: kerennie! do the acutally review please! you cna fangirl over your fans later!
sorry. your right!
anyway, i hope this chapter explains some of the things you have written. but i will cover it anyway! yes, Macey has Conqueror's Haki. no, she can't fully control but she can control the worst of it. i think it would take time to learn to control Haki like this when your kid and doing most of it by yourself. yes, she knows the other two forms of Haki. she's going to be teaching to Ace, Sabo and Luffy and the others.
Macey: which should be interesting i think!
yeah, it should be. yes, Luffy isn't that effect by it. he can feel it- just doesn't show it and can tell that something is going on with people collasping around him. he just has no idea what is. Ace is more than curious about it as you have seen this chapter. Ace would love to know how to control and use it. and a battle of the wills did kind of happen and if it went on for too long much longer, Ace's will would might have lost. Macey does know how to use hers and Ace doesn't, yet.
Macey: can Ace and i have a battle of the wills once he learns how to control it?
maybe. we'll see.
hopefully Macey (i) was able to explain Haki well enough. Marco isn't ready jsut yet to drag Macey to teh Whitebeard Ship. he does have to try and trsut her to not be too stupid. he doesn't want to be the bad guy and make her hate him before they even get a chance to get to know each other. though she is going to cause him a lot of stress in the future.
though Marco might have to reconsider it for the future. if he can find her, Macey and her crew are going to travelling around the Blues. quiet a lot. especially once i bring in Law, Cora-san and Doflamingo. it is going too be fun and very interesting!
yes people! i going to save Cora-san! don't question anything about how or why, i think we all know why- he is a great character whose death was sad and i would like to stop it! i think Law would find Macey and her crew interesting and like them. but will leave when they go to the North Blue so he can start his own crew. and Doflamingo... well, he won't be becoming a Warlord, have the Op-Op fruit stolen and so more will happen thanks to Macey and her crew. he is not going to be happy with them, though, when he finds out who Macey really is- things will get even more interesting as he will want her and her crew (alive) for his own selfish reasons.
but anyway, no more spoilers.
i lost track of where i was up to in the review... oh well, hopeful i have cover the rest of it!
please be keep reviewing, faving and following people! 8 reviews, 17 favs and 23 follows! it's slowly going up! keep it up!
till next time!
