Freedom Fighters Pirates Chapter 22: Omake- Naomi and Marco- the 2nd Meeting, an one piece fanfic

and we are back with another omake chapter!

i hope everyone enjoys it! but first, the reviews! because i am not doing to do two chapters in one chapter ever again! the AN were way too long last time. anyway. i will answer reviews then we go with the story XD! so you skip the AN if you want guys. i'll write them for fun and stuff anyway, so you don't have to read if you don't want too.

now, how many reviews...

...

HOLY HELL! HOW THE HELL DID I MANAGE TO GET THIS MANY REVIEWS FOR ONE CHAPTER?!

Naomi: what the hell is freaking about?

Marco: i have no idea.

28 (if i counted that right)... there are 28 reviews since i posted the last chapter... 28 reviews from the 7th of Feb. i know it's been like 11 days and all... and know a few people posted twice or three times but still... 28 reviews...

Marco: they're not all of the latest chapter, there seems to be one from like chapter 8 i think it was and like four from chapter 20 or something, which was the last/first omake.

Naomi: still, that's a lot of reviews...

I LOVE IT! *doing a happy dance and hugging my laptop*

Marco: i thought she was freaking out?

Naomi: i think she's doing both, freaking out and loving that she has like, an army of reviews to answer.

Marco: kerennie is weird

Naomi: i second that. let's just do the reviews already!

okay! let's start then!

Roton-

here is the next chapter, it's an omake! the next main story chapter will be come up once i get it back from being beta read.

Naomi: next review

Nekohime-chan-

i know, i cry every time i write Macey's past. it's so sad and there's still more to cover! i don't know how the Marines and World Government can be so cruel. Macey is good at that, cheering up. it will partly explained why in the next main chapter. and i know right? the boys did do a good job of hugging her, Sabo is winning himself brownies points. but feel free to hug Macey anyway, she's a touchy feely person. she likes hugs, like Luffy!

Shao did notice the closeness of Blue and Jack, i don't think he'll inform the marines. sure, he's friends with Garp and stuff, but that doesn't mean he will tell the man anything. he might say to Jack though/talk to him about it. there is a lot of things about Blue that we don't know yet. yes, Red is his family and has a colour for a nickname, there is a story behind that and which will be covered at one sense/point or another.

love triangle moment when they're older? hmm... maybe. yes, Sabo and Macey are similar to Marco and Macey and yet, different at the same time.

Naomi: i will make the first bold move and i can't wait! when it happens though, i can't tell you for sure. yes, love does seem to be in the air and bahahahaaha! i remember that line from fairy tail! here is the next omake chapter! and no, Macey hasn't cut her hair cut short, yet. it's going to happen soon though.

Marco: next review

Whitestardevil-

Marco*glaring at you*

you might want to be careful. Marco is not happy.

Naomi: damn straight i am no damsel in distress!

how do these two ever hook up? well, you'll have to wait for the omakes and read and find out, now won't you?

Marco: it was a very violent reaction to helping just a little!

it's one of my fav scenes too. i loved writing it so much. and ew, i know right? Norman is so old and Naomi is going to take of the problem called Norman this chapter. i hope everyone likes his short lived life in this story. here is an update! and i'm glad you like that i was about to write a multi-chappie story of Macey x Sabo when they're older for you. i am having fun writing it. next chapter for it will be up soon.

Naomi: next review

Kawaii kitsune-

i know, Macey does have a sad past. the Marines are stupid. i know it's cruel and sad at the same time- why did Naomi die? well, that will be explained soon, i swear. and yes, the ASL trio do do a good job at comforting her, don't they? (most Sabo)

Naomi: i like this Sabo kid!

Marco: please don't encourage them!

and thank you. i'm blushing now caused you called me your official #1 fav writer and Macey your #1 fav OC, thank you. i love my fans! your guys are the best! keep reviewing!

Marco: next review

Lili-

Yes, Ace is getting a cousin and she's coming in too! Red finally made his appearance last chapter and will in again soon! yes, the crew has some sorta name, i will relieve them soon. and thank you, i know the feeling that some YOAI couples and stories do make people blush like a virgin and Blue and Jack might do that later now, but for now. they're keeping everyone G, PG at the most. for now. who is top and who is bottom? um... well, yeah, Blue is totally the seme aka top and Jack is totally the uke aka bottom. Macey and Sabo are too young to be thinking about romance (for now- evil laughter- mahahahaaha!)

yes, i saw the episode with Robin and Luffy comparing Marco to a pineapple. i laughed so much i thought i was going to piss myself. anyway, i don't mind the long review. i like reviews. the chapter here is an omake!

Naomi *being held back by Marco*: was that you brat?! i'm going to kick your ass!

i suggesting running for now.

Naomi*growling*: next review

Luna-

i know right? fangirl all you want. l love it! and i know i am fangirling over my fans fangirling. BLACK is the best right? XD i like the name Macey too! and thank you for sharing the meaning with everyone. Gift of God huh? well, Macey is a gift of and from god, isn't see? i love her.

who was the guy that saved Macey? well, we have already meant him but i will relieve who he is officially in all due time. here is omake part 2! and there's more parts to come!

Marco: next review

Waddles8893-

thank, i will keep the work the best i can! and yes, Macey as War Lord, if she accepts the deal. do we actually see her accepting it? maybe later on, but i don't see it happening right now. and i know right? the Marines and World Government are so hypocritical.

i won't be discontinuing or putting this into hiatus (though, i'm completely sure what hiatus means, you mean hold right?) i am more likely to put the other two on hiatus then this.

Naomi: next review

Himeka-

don't die from the fangirl attack, okay? but yes, BLACK just got real. it's cute seeing Blue make all of the moves since Jack is too shy too. and yes, Shao noticed. are they that obvious? um... i don't know... i think outside of the crew, Shao seems to be the only one who knows in all honesty. but yes, it is like Blue and Jack are the parents and Lavi is their kid. and if that's the case, Blue is the father and Jack is the mother, sorry Jack- but we all know Blue is the dom/seme/top of your relationship.

and yes, Sabo- don't worry. Macey will notice your feelings for her one day. just be patience. the Naomi and Marco scene was great, right? and yes, Macey knows many secrets. but she wont be sharing them with anyone, other than maybe her dad and Sabo. even if Macey got West in trouble with her father, she ain't getting him out it.

i thank you anonymous for getting Himeka into running my stories. but i'm no god or saint or angel, but thanks anyway! love you all.

Marco: next review

Anonymous-

thank you. i like answering the reviews. i find it fun and i think you guys like, right? *smiling happily* and i knw right? the last chapter was the longest thing i have EEEEEEEEVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRR written, ever. and i know, bluexjack, so cute! and it was a sweet maceyxsabo moment, though, i don't think either of them realised it. lols.

and i know right? damn marines. i am still working the Sabo x OC x Ace fanfic. resource for it is taking longer than i thought it would. and yes, i am going to call the OC Yuki, cause i think the name and i want to make it a little different to others so far. your welcome. just be patience for it please. i will work on it more once i finish the other one.

yes, Sabo is going go to join the FFP. Cora-san and Law make an appearance and with another character, aka Red. and those two do deserve than what Mingo gave them, so i'm going to give them better! and it's Mingo is going to end up suffering this time. and i know right? Ace, Sbao and Marco are amazing! and FUCK YOU TEACH AND AKAINU! Ace did deserve better than what he got.

and thank you. i like finding out i'm people's favourite. it's makes me happy. and i know right? Macey's past is so sad! i make myself cry when i write it. and i know right? the Marines and World Government are assholes. they can't care about anything or anyone but themselves (other than Garp and a handful of good marines). why did Naomi blow herself up? there is an story behind and Macey knows and it will be relieved, later on. it's really sad, because Macey has missed out and hasn't told some key details. but like i said before, it will be relieved later on. so be patience please.

Naomi: next review

Super Shiba-

i know right? the marines are so cruel. i don't think Mace is bent on revenge, Kaitlyn kind of is and kind of isn't at the same time. yes, Sabo is joining the FFP. and yes, Mace trusts Sabo. it's sweet right? Ace and Luffy's reaction? well, we'll just have to wait and find out. there is going to be a lot of complaining and whining and fighting. Yes, Red is Blue's cousin, though they see each other as brothers. there is a story behind there, and why do they have colours for names? there's an story behind that too. just wait for it.

Marco: next review

Meatlover-

yes, BLACK! we all love BLACK. yes, we have a few colour names XD. ruining the moment? no, not when Macey cheered. when Macey went and tackled Blue then was hugging Lavi. that's what i meant. and Red, well, he's a FFP by name but he's kind of a freelancer by traded, he likes doing resource and stuff and he joined earlier, there's a story behind it all. and i will relieve it soon, i swear.

i don't care about the marines either, hopefully Jack will get over it and forget about them and just follow his heart. and don't ask me how a father can that to a kid, let alone his own kid. i actually based Jack off my friend and some of his history. he's owned when i told him, but i changed the name and looks and other things. but the rest of the history is pretty much his, like falling in live with another guy who was a little girly and who he run away, just at an older age.

anyway, they keep freeing innocent person. because there are more people who needs the FFP help. and yes, the moment that Lavi stepped on the boat, he become Macey's younger brother and he is neve going to escape it. (i actually feel a little sorry for him now). yes, now Macey has 4 younger brothers and 1 younger sister, yes, Kaitlyn is younger than Macey. and lots of older brothers. her family is getting bigger and is only going to get bigger!

Naomi: next review

Crazyfan432-

everyone feels for Mace i think. i know i do and i'm writing her. how is able to jump back quickly with advice, there's kind of reason behind that, that will be relieved soon. i swear, it's in the next main story chapter.

i'm glad you like BLACK and like YOAI. cause i do too. Mace and Sabo won't find romance at this young age but they will have some moments. yes, Blue is the seme and Jack is the uke. or are they? XD

and with Naomi and Marco... well... let's leave it at that. things are going to interesting for the two of them. and Macey is both of her parents, there are moments when she just like her dad and moments when she is just like her mum, but overall, she's like both of her parents. so yes, the Marines should watch out.

Marco: next review

Pikapika-

thank you. i laugh every time i read Naomi hitting Marco too. it was very much overkill, wasn't it? if it wasn't anyone else... yeah, your right, they might not have survived. is very much like her parents, it is scary sometimes. here's another omake!

Naomi: next review

Yukino Makina23-

i know. it's rare to see an Sabo x OC fic. i like it. Blue is finally making a move, though he hasn't had a lot contact with Jack since the FFP saved Jack. but it does show how much like they and care for each other.

Naomi: our daughter is so much like us, isn't she Marco?

Marco: yep, i'm still trying to work out if that's a good thing or not though...

Macey: i won't punch you, for now.

Naomi: Roger? yeah, i met him. he's cool. Ace is lucky to have a dad like Roger, i do feel for Roger and Rouge, not being to raise Ace. it's sad and really mad. and your right, my daughter should never doubt our love for her! we would, i do give my life/our lives for her.

Macey is forgiving and understanding, she's a good character. i have fun writing her. and i know right? it's so hard to find, next to impossible, to find Roger's execution date. i'll make something up.

Marco: next review

ASL Fan-

thank you. it was cute when Sabo pouted when Macey walked away. BLACK is as official as official can be. i like YAOI too. don't worry, your not the only one. i just always like other couplings too. i think a lot of people aren't sure if Marco's hairstyle is a pineapple or a banana peel. i think more pineapple more then banana peel, but that's my person opinion mostly but he is still one of my fav characters of all time. i have never written a story with yandere characters (i think, are any of my characters yandere?) so... um... i might give it shot when i have time and after i do a lot of research into how write and do yandere characters. not sure when it will come up or anything but i will get to get to it, when i have time.

don't ask how sane i am for doing what i am doing. that's probably why the chapters are acting a long time to write. because i am working on three stories at once, so please be patience with me everyone. i will be continuing of them, they're just going to be slow progress, sorry guys. but i will work on FFP more than the others because i am having the most fun writing FFP.

anyway, here is the second omake! i hope you all love it! i wonder what will happen this chapter? *grinning*

Naomi: next review

Guest 1-

oh thank you. like i said last time, i wasn't sure if was you or not. knowing that it wasn't you who wrote the editor one makes me feel less like an idiot for saying something about it. thank you for understanding.

i noticed that a few people have said that they didn't notice the name thing with Macey and Ace. i'm a little surprised by that since my 12 year old brother had pointed it out to me. but oh well, don't matter. i believe we're all wishing West good luck in the main story, but here in the omake, they're good friends, so he's safe, till the main story. and Blue and Jack will get together, one day, when his job being undercover is finished. when will that be you ask? um... i'm going to hide...

Marco: new review

DBZ-

sorry, Kaitlyn doesn't claims victims this chapter or the next chapter in the main story, but the one after that, i am organising something. Yes, it is surprising that Kaitlyn who some would claim to be a 'sociopathic killer' has more emotions then some of the Marines and the so called 'self-proclaimed gods'.

i think that a lot of people have questions for Macey and not many people are going to ask, unless something comes up and they find the right moment. and yes, Cora-san appears! he and Law won't see Macey till after she and the others take care of the Arlong and his crew. things are going to be getting in the main story of FFP with the next lots of chapters. new characters, some marines jack-asses, Zoro, meeting Usopp and Sanji, a member of the FFP is leaving for some time for reasons that will be relieved later one when it happens, the problem of Arlong, saving Nami, plus Law and Cora-san, Red and the problem to soon be known as Doflamingo and some other stuff. whole, that's at least 5 chapter worth information i just told you guys about.

so much planning and organising to do, so little time... i better get back to it! plus the omake chapters and more... so much to do...

Naomi: next review

AceAyane-

i'm glad you noticed the easter eggs! and i have even more reviews this time!

Marco: next review

Gerlibfriend-

thank you. i thought the chapter was good too. maybe minus the like 7, 000- 8, 000 words AN. i did better this time!

and this has been beta read, again. i hate no time or patience to end it off. i will go over it again later and fix up mistakes when i have free time. anyway, for now everyone...

Marco and Naomi: we hope you all enjoy the chapter!

Freedom Fighter Pirate Omake

Chapter 2: Naomi and Marco- We meet again…

Many years ago… Marco- 17, Naomi- 19

Marco sat there on the ground- shocked, confused, kind of embarrassed, kind of mad and angry and guilty and… well, just a mixture of emotions really but most of all, he was trying to work out what the hell happened. But seriously man, just what the fuck? What the fuck just happened?! That is not how your meant to react to someone helping you! You don't just fucking break their fucking nose! Why the hell did she hit him and break his nose?! And why can't Marco help but still feel something, he wasn't sure what though, for her still?!

Even after she fucking broke his nose! He still can't help but find her… fucking hot. Because god damn, her breaking Marco's nose was kind cool and kind of hot. It just showed how strong, dangerous and independent Naomi was and Marco couldn't help but find that damn hot and attractive. Fuck his stupid fucking hormones and what appears to be a stupid crush right now…

Because Marco can't help but feel like he has done something wrong to get her to punch him, break his nose and get called an asshole and bastard by her, like that. But that the fucking hell did Marco do wrong!?

"What… what just happened?" Marco finally asked Pops- since he couldn't understand what the hell happened. His brain and mind just couldn't wrap itself around the idea that had just happened or for what reasons.

"I believe we have a feisty young lady who will looking for us later on my son," Whitebeard laughed. "Guararara."

Marco couldn't help but agree with that. She had been asking about him (Whitebeard)before she left, so they'll probably running into each other again at some point or another. And despite the fact Marco is mad about her breaking his nose, he couldn't wait to see her again.

"I like her," Whitebeard grinned to Marco, he truly did like the young lady. Plus, Marco seems to like her as well, quite a bit the captain might add. "And I think you do too. Next time we see her, I'm asking her to join us!"

Marco couldn't help but blush at Pops' commented about him liking her. God damn it, how did Pops know that?! And why on earth would he ask her to join their crew?! Pops can't just keep asking every single person he likes to join the crew! Even though Marco has the strangest feeling that she would find in perfectly with the crew…

Later on…

"Why did she have to break my nose?" Marco complained as Eva, their Head Doctor and Nurse, was looking at Marco and making sure that everything was fine with it. Because, just because Marco has healing powers/abilities of a phoenix thanks to his devil fruit. That doesn't mean that the injury is fully healed or fine.

St. Claire Eva- forty-two years old (though she looks like she is her late twenties still), a hundred and seventy-nine centimetres tall, light brown hair that was up in an granny bun, wearing a pink nurses outfit, black flats and long cheetah spots/pattern socks.

"I still can't believe a girl broke your nose, pff…" Melody, Eva's daughter, assistant and apprentice snickered as her mother was checking Marco over. "I so want to meet her! What was her name?"

St. Claire Melody- sixteen years old (her mother and her look more like sisters then mother and daughter), a hundred and seventy-one centimetres tall, long dark brown hair with blonde highlights that is either down or tied back in a ponytail, wearing a pink nurses outfit, black flats, black three-quarter leggings and cheetah spots/pattern socks. Though, when she isn't wearing her nurses outfit she is seen wearing long black jeans, dark brown laced boots, a grey, black and white shirt and a dark red jacket plus a pink head band to keep her hair out of her eyes, as well as she sometimes wears glasses.

Marco blushed while he glared at Melody. Damn his so-called sister. Why should he tell her anything about Naomi!? Oh right, he had to tell Eva how his nose got broken and Melody is he assistant, plus a nurse and doctor in training.

"Everything is fine Marco," Eva smiled as she stood up again. "Your nose has healed perfectly and it's still straight. Your good to go."

"Mmmmuuuuuummmmm!" Melody whined as Marco got up. "Marco can't go yet! He has to tell me… I mean us about this girl that broke his nose! Aren't you interesting in knowing about who it was that broke his nose? I mean, it's really hard to broke anything of Marco's because of his healing ability! She had to a get a good punch or something in to be able to break it and for it to take some time to finish healing properly too!"

Plus, they were all sure that if they run into this girl again, that Pops will most likely ask her to join the crew. After all, what kind of girl is brave enough or strong enough to broke a guy's nose?

"It almost sounds like your jealous of Marco's new friend Melody," Eva smiled and teased her daughter. Yes, Eva is well aware that her daughter Melody doesn't have a crush or likes Marco like that. But Eva could dream and hope that Melody and Marco could one day maybe get together, couldn't she?

"Mother!" Melody shouted as she sounded really annoyed by the comment. "I'm not jealous of Marco's new friend! I just to know who she is because she has to be strong and cool if she was able to break this idiot's nose!"

Marco kept his best poker face on, though he was annoyed that Melody had called him an idiot. Why was Melody so annoying?

"Come on Marc!" Melody said almost begging him now. "You have to tell me about her! Please!"

"Her name was Aschgate D. Naomi," Marco answered as he got up. "And that's all your getting from me. Now, if you need me. I have work to do. Thank you, Eva." Then he left the room to go back his own.

Melody wasn't going to give up- she was going to get more information out of him, even if she has to annoy it out of him. Melody grinned, this going to be fun. If Marco didn't want to give the information up freely then she was going to annoy it out of him! Marco was going to give up more information to Melody on this Naomi chick other than her name. one way or another way, she was getting more information out Marco. Whether he likes it or not.

Six month later, Mid-September... Marco- 17 almost 18 (18 on 5th October), Naomi- 19 (20 on 24th December)

Naomi sighed, she never did end up finding Edward Newgate. So now she is just following rumours that are going around about the man and his crew. Plus looking around for other devil fruit eaters as well. She can't just focus all of her research or attention on one person or research subject. It will be a bias study and research if she did that. And she also doesn't have to worry about Norman and his crew again.

Damn fucking asshole. Norman only got what he deserved, fucking asshole prick. He's lucky he got off easy. She had enough of him about three months ago and sunk his fucking ship after he kidnapped her while she was in the middle of some research and then the man tried to fucking rape her. He ended getting shot in the balls, with a dragger in his neck, nearly every single fucking bone broken and, his skull caved in it (okay, maybe he didn't get off easy after all). Naomi gave the crew two options, join their captain in death or get the fuck off the ship before she sunk it.

A lot of crew ran away before she sunk the ship and others stayed and joined their captain in death. Hey, their choice, she gave them the option to get away and live but nnnnnnoooooo, some of them decided that they had to 'avenge' their Captain's death and attacked her. Well, their own fucking fault that they're now fucking dead. Seriously, the man got what he deserved got in the end. Who knows how many women he has raped, killed and hurt. Plus, his crew as well.

Now…

Naomi put the map on the table that she was at in a tavern as she waited for her meal. Where to go from here…? Actually, on second thought… where the hell is here? Naomi has no idea where she is. Not after that big ass storm yesterday that washed her and little boat up here.

Yes, she could ask someone, but she wanted to try to work out it herself before she asked anyone in all honesty. It was more fun that way, plus, she wasn't a bad navigator. So she had an idea on where she was. It was just working out where exactly she is, that she is having more problems with. The island doesn't have a marine base so it's not marine controlled- so hopefully she won't run into those assholes. So that crossed out at least four islands.

Naomi crossed some islands off her list.

The island seemed friendly enough, so it might be controlled by a powerful pirate crew or at least pirate friendly with strong people here who can handle any trouble or pirate friendly with the pirates in general so the pirates don't really bother the island or it's people. And the stars seemed to be in an southern position before that storm hit and the wind was going in a slightly west position/way… so that takes off the north and east islands around here…

Naomi crossed some more islands off her list.

Now that makes her list of twenty down to ten. Okay, that was still a lot of islands that she could be on… okay think Naomi, what is special about this island? It has a forest but no mountains, so that crossed off four more islands. From ten to six now. The odds of working out where she is are starting to look better now.

'I wonder what his name was…?' Naomi thought as she was looking at the map as she was trying to work out where she, but was getting distracted thinking about a certain blonde who could turn into a phoenix. 'The blonde hair kid… No! He's an asshole! Don't think about him! But he was kind of cute and he's has the devil fruit powers of the phoenix. I would be the first on in the family to study the fruit and its eater in almost nine hundred and seventy odd years and properly too… that's true… No! don't get distracted! Even if the guy was a cute asshole! If you end up studying and doing research on his fruit, it's not like you can sleep with him! Researchers aren't allowed to sleep with their research subjects remember? True… but still, he was kind of cute. If only he was a little bit taller, then he would totally be my type. Minus the trying to save and help me thing. I don't need anyone's help nor do I need to be rescued by people. I can handle myself perfectly fine.'

Naomi sighed, damn it. She must be going crazy, she's fighting with herself over the blonde guy from about six months ago. It has not helped that she has going to run into that damn cute blonde again and again. Every island that she has been too where Edward Newgate was meant to be or has been rumoured to be, he has been there! Why the hell does he keep showing up?! Naomi just doesn't understand it!

Not like it really matters. Naomi has done her best to avoid him like the plague whenever she sees him and so far, it seems that he hasn't seen her back. Though, he might have and he might be ignoring her and trying his best to avoid her too. After all, she broke his nose and most guys- be them civilians, marines or pirates, normally get scared and run away after something like that. So would he even want to see her anyway?

And why the hell does she even care if he wants to see her or not!? Why does she even want to know to his name?! Why does she kind of wish he was here right now…?

ARGH! Naomi just doesn't what is going on right now! Why was she even thinking if he was a bit taller that he would be her type!? She doesn't even have a type! She isn't interested in finding love or being in love or crushing on someone or anything like that right! Naomi is only interested in finishing off her family research so that her children don't have to worry about finishing it! That her brothers and cousins are helping with too and…

God damn it! Naomi lost her train of thought!

"Aschgate D. Naomi?" a voice said as Naomi tsked, looking up from her map, list and little internal debut with herself, to the person who was speaking to her.

"Yeah? What do you want?" Naomi asked. She was hungry and wanted her food… plus, she can't get a certain cute blonde guy out of her head and it was really starting to annoy her.

Melody couldn't help but look at the pretty tall older teen sitting by herself and looking over a map. Was she lost or something? And why does she look kind of familiar even though Melody is pretty sure she has never seen or met her before… but why does she seem familiar?

Maybe Melody should go over and talk to her or something? Maybe if they talk, Melody will know how seems to know this chick because it driving Melody mad feeling like she knows this chick, even though she has no idea who she is!

After all, after constantly annoying Marco for months (stupid dumb damn flaming oversized pigeon, oh that's good. She needs to remember that one)- she finally managed to get him to tell her about this chick who broke his nose. Melody couldn't help but feel happy for Marco when he spoke to Melody about Naomi. Melody has no idea if Marco even knows or realises it, but he has kind of fallen pretty hard for someone he doesn't know and who he has only officially met once. Plus, she kind of broke his nose too.

Now, most guys would be turned off by that or would get scared off. Because, what kind of guy wants to dates or be with someone stronger than them, right? But Marco seemed to like it, he liked that she was strong, stubborn (probably more so than him) and so strong-willed. And in all honesty, that was the type of person who would be best suited for Marco. Well, at least that's what Melody thinks anyway. Marco needs someone who is just as stubborn and headstrong as himself. Plus, strong so that Marco doesn't feel like he has worry, though he still will because that's how the damn mama bird was.

Yes, there's a difference between stubborn and strong-willed. Stubborn is stubborn and strong-willed is strong-willed.

Melody stopped herself from walking over to the person she swears she knows without knowing who they are, when she saw Marines walking in, looking like they were looking for someone. What were Marines doing here? Who are they looking for? They're not here for Melody to try to get to Pops are they!? They better not be here for Pops or any of the Whitebeard Pirates or Melody was going to kick their ass! (The best she could, since she is a nurse and doctor, not really a fighter. But she knows enough to at least be able to defend herself!)

Melody froze when she saw the Marines heading over to Naomi's table. What the hell do the Marines want with her?

Naomi! That's who it was! That's how Melody knows her without knowing her! She looks just like how Marco described her to be.

Though, unknown to Melody but a certain guy had followed her as he had been worried about her and wanted to make sure that she didn't get in trouble.

"Mel?" the guy went as he sat next her which made her jump as she had not been expecting it. "What you doing?"

"West you asshole!" Melody almost shouted, more, just loudly said as she looked away from the Marines and Naomi to glare at the guy.

West- a hundred and eighty-eight centimetres tall with thick brown hair and emerald green eyes. Wearing black pants, sandals and light blue shirt.

"What?" West asked, having no idea what he did to get her to call him an asshole.

"Don't scare me like that!" Melody told West and she hit him which made him laugh. Melody got annoyed, blushed slightly and hit West more. Melody, West and Marco have always been on more friendlier than some of the others in the crew since the three of them are close in age and had joined around the same time. So, West knew about Naomi and Marco's little crush on her. And about Melody's mother Eva wanting Melody to get with Marco, even though Melody doesn't seem him as anything other than her friend. Eva only jokes or says something about Melody marrying Marco, she doesn't say or joke about it with anyone else.

Jozu was okay, Melody didn't mind him and Vista was cool too. They were just older than Melody, West and Marco. Plus, West and Marco don't see Melody as anything less or more than herself. So of the others… let's just say Marco and West have broken a few noses for them hitting her and making her uncomfortable. Yes, Melody has flirted with a few one of them, like Vista or Jozu, but those two know the difference between flirting for good and being silly to flirting and wanting to sleep with someone.

Melody did not and does not want to sleep with anyone in the crew, they were like brothers, family to her. And you do not sleep with family.

It's the same with West. Melody sees him like a brother, she would never sleep with him. Plus, West and Marco are her best friends and she does not want to best friends.

"Marines," West said as he noticed them as grabbed Melody's hand quickly. "We need to go. Right now."

"But West!" Melody said as she looked back over to them and noticed Naomi standing up and look really annoyed. "It's her!"

"Her…? Her who?" West said having no idea what or who Melody was talking about it. "Melody, you don't get it. there's a whole fucking platoon of Marines out there, let along the fifty that are in here. Plus, there's a war ship, a fucking ass huge one too I must tell you, in the West dock. We need to get back to the ship and the other in the East dock, right now."

Melody looked back over at Naomi as she just stood in place, even though West was trying to drag her away. "You don't get it West." Melody told him without looking at him which would force him to look over to what she was looking at. "She's here and I think the Marines are after her."

She…? After her…? What the hell was Melody was going on about? What was she even looking at anyway?

West looked over to the Marines, since Melody was looking that way and his mouth dropped opened. What the hell fuck was he not only looking at and witnessing but why the hell does that chick fighting the fucking marines look kind of familiar? Though, West has no idea who the hell she is or why and how she looks familiar to him. So… who is she…?

The marines have been following Aschgate D. Naomi for roughly three months now. A young lady whose older brother was Marine Major Aschgate D. Nicholai or Nix for short, and also a Devil Fruit Researcher like him. But unlike her brother, who studies devil fruits and their eaters in the marines and the girl studies devil fruits and their eaters, who are all pirates. Which means, if they can the information from her, then they can find what pirates have eaten what fruit and what some of their weaknesses are other than sea-stone and swimming in sea/ocean.

But they had yet to have any luck in actually catching her. She keeps moving and oddly enough, her movements seem to be following Whitebeard, one of the Strongest Pirates in the sea as there is. Does that mean that she is interested in studying his fruit devil? Because if she is, the Marines can use that to their advantages and might be able to finally take the man down before he becomes more of a threat than he already is.

They find Naomi after she taken out Norman Harris- Captain of the Harris Lane Pirates. Sinking his ship and rumours going away from things that the survivors of the Harris Lane Pirates, that she had killed him and many of the crew as well.

Then they lost her from that storm and had come to this island to find out where they were when one of young cadets had spotted someone matching Naomi's description walking into a tavern, so he come back and reported it to his superiors. They thought it was worth checking out, since the kid had said he has seen the girl himself. and they were glad that they had come to check it out, because, sitting at a table by herself looking at map right now, was the very person they were looking for and she seemed distracted.

Well, at least it looked like Aschgate D. Naomi, but the Marines better be at least a little careful. If they get the wrong person… the Fleet Admiral will have their heads.

"Aschgate D. Naomi?" one of the Marines asked the girl as he walked up to the table where she was sitting. The person tsked, looking up from their map and they looked a little annoyed.

"Yeah? What do you want?" the golden hair teen answered as she seemed to be eyeing them.

The Marines had expected her to panic or try or something. Why was she just sitting there looking at them? didn't she realise she was out numbered here? There are fifty of them, plus the others outside and in the warship. There was no way she could escape them this now.

"Marines," she growled lightly then spat. "What the hell do you want?" not looking happy or impressed with their presence at all.

"We would like you to come with us, girl," the Marine Captain said to Naomi. "Peacefully and willing, of course, you have no choice in the matter so you can fight back if you want too. But I do not recommend it."

"Call me girl again and I will break your neck," she told the Marine Captain without hesitating. "I do not like being called that. I am not a girl, I am nineteen, twenty in a few three months. And if you think you can make me go anywhere with you, you are as illusional as you are as respectful. Never going to happen."

"Listen here girl," the Marine Captain went again which made a few others just shake their heads at him. "You are coming with us, like it or not. You are outnumbered. Do you really think you can beat us all?!"

The nineteen year looked really irrigated and pissed which made a few marines back right off as she glared death at the Marine Captain. God damn it… they should have let the Vice Admiral handle this not the captain…

"If you want to live," Naomi told the marine captain. "I suggest you not back the off right now as I am hungry and do want to deal with you bullshit right now. Do not get between me and my food. I am warning you right now. For another thing, if you think I can't beat you or anyone in this room, you are fucking dreaming. And last but not least, call me girl again and I will no longer be being nice to you. You have been warned. Now, what the hell is taking my food so long?" seeming uninterested and not caring about the Marine Captain or the marines at all. which only pissed the marine captain off.

"Listen here you good for shaken idiot gir-" the Marine Captain never finished his sentence as the teen took him out. breaking his neck with one swing of her metal staff. And that's when the marines all attacked her.

"Aschgate D. Naomi?" a voice said as Naomi tsked, looking up from her map, list and little internal debut with herself, to the person who was speaking to her.

"Yeah? What do you want?" Naomi asked. She was hungry and wanted her food… plus, she can't get a certain cute blonde guy out of her head and it was really starting to annoy her.

Naomi just watched the marines, carefully. It seems that they seemed to think or had expected her to panic or try or something. Why would she try anything? There was no point right now. She was hungry and just wanted to eat something and they were getting in the way. So she was just going to sit here and stare at them. Did they not think that she didn't realise she realise she was out numbered here? There are fifty of them, plus the others outside and in the warship, but just because there is so many of them doesn't mean she can't escape, it just means she needs to think and outsmart them. as long as she doesn't like her temper get the best of her, like she sometimes does with disrespectful idiots and which one of these looks like.

"Marines," Naomi growled lightly then spat in disgust. She doesn't like Marines very much and can't really understand why her older brother joined them. other than he did it to research the marines who have eaten devil fruits, other than that, she doesn't understand why he joined them. "What the hell do you want?" Naomi was not looking happy or impressed with their presence being here at all. why the hell are they even here anyway? For her? She swears to god if they are, there is going to hell to pay. She is busy and has no time for them. That's why her brother joined the marines after all, so that someone in their family could research their devil fruits while another travelled the world looking at pirates who are devil fruit eaters, who is Naomi and another one, that being Nic, Nix's and Naomi's younger brother, could collected and be their liaison back home and then take care of any others who have eaten devil fruits. And their cousins just go to wherever Nic tells them to go.

"Call me girl again and I will break your neck," Naomi told the Marine Captain without hesitating what so ever. She was not going anywhere with any bloody Marines. "I do not like being called that. I am not a girl, I am nineteen, twenty in a few three months. And if you think you can make me go anywhere with you, you are as illusional as you are as respectful. Never going to happen." Naomi hoped the guy gets the picture and backs off. But knowing the Marines, he wouldn't which means this going to end in a fight.

"Listen here girl," the Marine Captain went again which made a few others just shake their heads at him and Naomi was pissed beyond belief. What did he just call her? Did he call her girl again, even though she warned him to not? Does he have a death wish?! "You are coming with us, like it or not. You are outnumbered. Do you really think you can beat us all?!"

Oh, this should be fun.

Marco sighed as he noticed the small one-man boat not all that far away from theirs. Damn it, it was Naomi's boat. Marco knew it anywhere. over the past six months- she has turned up wherever they have been. Marco knew that was because she was looking for Pops, their captain but since she has no idea who he was. She didn't know that he was in the crew and so whenever they saw each other- that being whenever Marco saw Naomi or Naomi saw Marco, they both end up pretending that they don't see the other and kind of run the other way. They've been avoiding each other as much as they can.

But Marco knows he can't keep doing that. At one point or another, he is going to have to face her since she is looking for Pops, and is a devil fruit researcher, so she might want or need to look at him and his devil fruit…

"Marco!" Colin shouted.

Colin was an year older than Marco with dark blue hair and light green eyes, his wavy hair just going everywhere. Wearing blacks pants and a white shirt. Marco had finally grown taller, much taller (to his full height) and was he same height as Colin now – a hundred and eighty-nine centimetres.

"What up Col?" Marco asked, sighing slightly. Damn it, he needs to talk to Pops about what to do about Naomi and how they should handle the situation with her. She was not going to be impressed when she finds out that Marco has been with the man she has been looking for.

"West was following Melody and…" Colin started as Marco put his hand up to Colin's mouth. Marco was looking annoyed, probably because he is always telling West to not follow Melody since she can handle herself and he looks like a creep when he does it.

"What I have said about him following Mel?" Marco said in an annoyed voice.

"Not too," Colin answered- already knowing this. "I know, I know. I should have stopped him but since there the Marines around town I thought it wouldn't hurt."

Marines? What?

"What Marines?" Marco asked- trying to not freak out. People keep telling Marco he's too emotional, that he lets his emotions control him too much, so now he's trying his hardest to be well, not let his emotions get the better of them.

"Not sure who they are," Colin answered truthfully- he has no idea who they are. "But they into the tavern that Melody was in and…"

"LET GO ME YOU ASSHOLES!"

Colin and Marco turned to each other than looked over where Marco couldn't help but stare- the Marines had somehow overpowered Naomi and they seemed to have chained her up with sea-stone, as one of them was carrying her over his shoulder. Observably they were heading back to wherever their ship was.

What the hell did the Marines want with Naomi…?

"AS SOON AS I GET OUT THIS SEA-STONE I'M KICKING YOUR ASSES!" Naomi screamed at them as they just ignored. Naomi looked like she was struggling the best she could, but she was failing to get out of the sea-stone.

Marco wasn't sure if she was devil fruit eater or not till now, there was no way that Naomi was a devil fruit eater. She wouldn't have this energy (he thinks), if she was one. Then why did chain/tie her up in the stuff…? Oh right, sea-stone is meant to be as hard as diamond or something, so it's next to impossible to break. Marco has a feeling that if Naomi was chained/tied up in rope or normal chains, she would be able to break it. but with sea-stone, well, that was much harder and tougher to break.

But that still makes Marco come back to this original thought, what the hell did the marines want with Naomi?

Marco was in two minds about this- he really wanted to help and there was no way she can say that she DOESN'T need help right now but at the same time, he kind of didn't want to help her, you know, just in case she tries to break his nose for helping again. but it doesn't look like she has this situation handled, at all.

Damn it…

"Marco?!" Colin shouted as the blonde was moving to go save the girl that the Marines had. What the hell was Marco doing!? He's going to get himself killed! But Colin can't just leave Marco to do this fit himself! it's a fucking army of Marines almost!

Fuck… they're going to die. Colin just knows it. Colin just hopes that West and Melody have gone to the others and told Pops what was going on. Seriously! Who is this chick and does Marco wan to save her… wait, is this the infamous Naomi that Melody has telling everyone about? The chick who had managed to break Marco nose?

Fuck, Marco and Colin were going to die on of three ways. One- by the Marines. Two- by Pops when he finds out what they're done/what they're doing, because Colin isn't going to let Marco do this by himself. Or three- they were going to die by Naomi's hand.

Fucking thanks Marco.

Marco had a feeling if he didn't help he was going to regret it, though, at the same time. He has a feeling that if he does help- he might end up regretting it too… but not as much as he would regret not helping Naomi.

Marco was going to Naomi, even if meant getting another broken nose. Marco just hopes it doesn't lead to another broken nose.

*hiding* sorry guys that i left the story at a cliffhanger that... i was tired and wasn't sure how much more i was going to write and well, it just felt right to end the story there. with Marco deciding fuck this shit, i'll her (again)! but this, it's a proper save! anyway, keep your eye for omake part 3! coming to you soon! or whenever the hell i write it! *dodging random object thrown*
