and we are back with an omake. sorry this took a little bit, i was trying to work out where i wanted to go with it then worked it out. so next omake, we have a small time skip and Naomi making a very bold move! and after that we have more skips. i was thinking of ending the Omakes at when Naomi left the Whitebeards but then decided, fuck that, it will end with Naomi's death instead. then everyone can find out Naomi and how Macey grew up a little then find out how about Naomi's death and her last thoughts and things as well. and i will ask you guys to remember some names that will appear in the omakes, because they will make reappears in future/later FFP main story chapters as well.
anyway, to the reviews!
Meatlover-
Thank you. It was a great update, wasn't it? the food reasons? Well, why turn down free food? Plus, because Naomi was kind of kidnapped before she could actually eat.
And I know right? Yanderes kind of scare me too. And I do find it insulting that people mostly say that girls are mostly yanderes! That is…. um… now that I think about it… my sister is kind of Yandere… not my point, the point is that that when Yanderes are used for examples and stuff, and in animes as well, they mostly portrayed as being females. Can anyone find or tell me an anime where there is a MALE yandere? I would it love it if someone could find one. Anyway, my point is… what was my point again…?
I can't remember my point anymore… other than most Yanderes are portrayed as being females and I would for someone to find me a male one… and Yanderes are kind of scary…
Okay, moving on because my brain died in the middle of a rant. I am most likely not going to going to write to a Yandere Ace and Sabo based fanfic, though, I might make it that they have Yandere moments just for you guys. Brothers? That's the name of the fanfic you know? I think I might actually know and have downloaded that one…
Give me 2 secs…
Okay… breed, breaking, broken promises, brother on board, brothers! I actually have that fanfic downloaded! Lols.
It is a reader x Ace x Sabo fanfic and it's not finished… I only have like 8 chapters of it… I need to see if another chapter has come out with that… last time I looked at it was in July of last year… I will read it and look. And I will check out he author later too.
Yes, holy smokes there's gonna be a Sabo and Macey moment coming up. I can't remember the reason of the details but there is going to be a moment. This is what happens when the weather is all of the place so I ended up all over the place.
If you look back through some of the chapters in the AN I think Luffy comes up with a few nick different nicknames for couplings. I just can't remember which chapter for the life of me right now. But Luffy gets final say in the coupling names so, yeah. He is innocent and its cute as hell. I wouldn't worry about the FF crew too much, they'll be fine…
I think…
Marco: what do you mean you think?
Um… i… um… next review!
Marco: this isn't over!
Whitestardevil-
Yes, update. You think Naomi was scary last omake chapter? You have seen nothing yet. I believe some Whitebeard Pirates are going to be scared for life soon. And Marco… *pulling front of shirt little* well, um… he's allowed to be hot and scary right?
Naomi: of course
Marco: what?
Nothing *laughing nervously- totally wasn't a fangirl moment or anything* anyway, yes, Garp and Macey were fighting again. well, more like arguing again but arguing is a form of fighting right? So they were fighting again. but yes, they both do need to cool down their tempers.
Mystery shadow person. Can I like that character name? yeah, I think I can.
MSP (mystery shadow person): just get on it
Speak of the devil and he sole appear!
MSP: what? *looking rather irritated at my words- black lighting appearing in his hand*
Nothing! I meant nothing by it!
MSP: you better have not, I am sick and tired of being called that.
*looks to fans and whispers* don't ask, it will be explained during the main story at some point or another. *then in loud voice* but yes! it's a good thing that Macey didn't accept the offer of War Lord! Not that I think she ever would. Because MSP aka Mystery Shadow Person, would probably go after Macey and take her and her crew down if she did or does. So yes, being a Shichibukiai isn't s safeguard at all, it's close enough to a death wish. Unless of course you have your reasons for being one and stuff.
Sin: what? Why do you love me for thinking of Sabo first? He does make the captain happy and smile!
Your welcome! I like adding in sweet moments too, they're cute and sweet and they do brighten up the day, don't they?
Please don't get me started on OCs. Which by the way, I will be stop accepting soon. There are a lot of them. but yes, a lot of the ocs in this story were mentioned in my other story. They are finally coming into play. And there still a lot more OCs to come! Some good and some bad and some will be just old evil.
Doflamingo and Macey… this should be interesting in all honesty. You find it annoying that people want to use the Aschgate knowledge and all and that they should do the hard work themselves? Not just steal it?
Naomi: finally! someone who understands how I feel!
Yeah, they SHOULD do the work themselves but… you know, there are people out there that use others in whatever way they can and don't like doing the work themselves, so… of course people will go for the easy way and that's going after the Aschgate's. I don't think that will be stopping any time soon.
Marco: if that damn pink feathered bastard tries to hurt or touch my daughter I will END him.
MSP: not if I end him first.
Ohhh! Plot twist! AceAyane, I love this character.
Anyway, yes poor Naomi. Will what happened be added to the omakes? Well, at first it wasn't going to be then I decided why not. So yes, the end/last Naomi and Marco Omake will be the one when Naomi dies and you all get to know/see Naomi's side and what happens.
Saki Saion 23-
I know right? Macey shouldn't hit me! *gets hit by Naomi, Marco and MSP* god damn it! why does everyone keep hitting me!?
Naomi, Marco and MSP: because you deserve it.
They hate me… *whining and hitting my head against the wall* ow… that was a bad idea…
MSP: idiot
Marco: moron
Naomi: baka
*deciding to ignore the three of them as it wasn't worth the time or energy to yell at them for call me names* Sorry about the mispronouncement… I wrote the wrong thing… my bad.
I think we are hoping that Marco survives this encounter with Naomi, especially since she is already pissed off. So I hope everyone enjoys this encounter as I don't think it's what some were expecting or thinking that was going to happen. (though we all know that Marco will survive it, otherwise how else is Macey going to be born?)
Oh and BTW, I most likely won't be updating next week at all. I'm going to be busy with somethings coming up and are hoping to write and relax between it all. so… you've all been warned.
Blue's appearance reminds you of Nagisa from Assassination Classroom? I guess it does now that I think about… they're both guys who with blue hair and who look like girls… and they're both nice aren't they? And smart too. You can't forget smart, Blue is very smart. Probably the closest to Macey in smarts/IQ in the crew, then would be Jack and then probably Sin. You have to be smart to be a doctor and shipwright after, Sin just might in a different smart group…
Okay, now I am getting distracted. On with the review damn it kerennie!
Yeah… I can't really say that being an Shichibukai is a ticket to being protected either, the marines are just assholes and I know right? If they find out about Ace, who they will have to fight through hell water against Macey if they even think about hurting him since she sees him like family. It's not really being safeguarded… it didn't stop the Marines from waging war with a Yonko. And that is true, those who despise the marines and the like would never join them no matter what too, unless…
Okay, I'm leaving that unsaid for certain reasons that I do not feel like saying/sharing.
Yeah… Shao did give up the peaceful route dind't he? Then again… I agree, is it really going to be peaceful with Macey and the FFP? ….. mostly likely not. And yes, he went with Garp, who did kind of sadly force him aboard… wonder why Garp kept his vice admiral position for so long? Well, because one- he's Garp and two- like it or not, the marines know they need him. They did GIVE him the credit for capturing Roger after all though the guy turned himself in. they need to keep their HERO so that others will be inspired to be marines.
Doflamingo does equal trouble doesn't he? And the FFP already do have a bunch of troublemakers on board. So trouble plus troublemakers equals… oh god, I think everyone might die… the trouble o'metre just broke. I hope they'll be able to avoid it…
MSP? Evil or good? Well, let's find out as the story goes okay? I do agree, I can understand his resentment towards the marines and government (for whatever reasons he has them for) and we are all hoping that he better not hurt or worse, kill poor Macey. And MSP would have to deal with the whitebeards pirates and that might not end well for him. And yes West is there so he could report it if necessary. So much for the 'ultimate safeguard'… wait, I would think the 'ultimate safeguard' would be Marco and the Whitebeards… Garp could have gotten them killed, could have he?
Waddles8893-
I don't think Blue would really look much different he got gender-bended… other than many he would have boobs? I mean, he already looks like a girl after all. but Jack, poor, poor, poor, poor sweet Jack… pppfff… *trying to not laugh or roll on the ground laughing* it would be… ppfff… interesting with a girl Jack… pfff…
Jack: shut up!
Blue: I think a girl would be cute, Jacky would have long hair, half white and have black. I bet it would be cute *hugging Jack from behind*
Jack *blushing*: shut up Blue! Don't encourage kerennie or the fans!
Blue and Jack are cute aren't they? I think a lot of us were fangirling over the two of them. especially with Jack's last sentence. I know I was fangirling over the moment (and added it in just for you guys)
Macey: Jack loves Blue~ Jack love Blue~
Jack: I am never going to hear the end of this… am i?
Macey: nope! Jack loves Blue~ Jack loves Blue~
Blue *chuckling lightly as he kisses Jack- hotly*: love you too
*nose bleed again* damn boys! I am trying to do the reviews! Can you hold trying to do each other right now!?
Jack *blushing*: …
Blue: sorry, my bad.
Man stupid hot guys making out while I am trying to rely to the reviews, I don't know.
Blue: I said sorry!
Jack *till blushing and still speechless*
Macey: just ignore her, she gets grumpy when she is trying to write and nothing happens.
Blue: writers block?
Macey: more like writers 'I want to write but I want to do others too but I need to write and don't know where to go from here' kind of thing.
Blue: oh, that makes sense
Jack: it does?
Yes, the females in this story, more specially Naomi and Macey do have so many overprotective people by their sides don't they?
Macey: I think she is ignoring us…
Blue: seems so… I know what will get her attention her again *smirking*
Macey: you making out with Jack again?
Blue: yep!
Yes, they do have overprotective and Nix (who is Naomi's older brother who we all get to know/meet in an omake chapter). Be careful Marco! Nix and Naomi's other brother Nic, whose her younger brother, are both kind of protective of Naomi! Marco and you guys have all been warned. Ppppffff…. Baahahahahahaaha! *rolling and laughing*
Nix: why are you laughing!?
Because Waddles8893 has a point, if you have phoenix then take out the phoe from it you get Nix! Bahahaaha! I never thought of that till now!
Nix: my name is Nicholai! I do not see how this is funny!
I'm not even going to try and explain how this funny *sighing* anyway…
Nix: don't ignore you bitch!
Blue *making out with Jack in background and Macey has fallen sleep because she was bored*
Anyway… yes, Marco apologised to Macey. It was a sweet father-daughter moment wasn't it? and it is true that Marco didn't know that Macey had actually survived the assault on Isila, so it isn't 100% his fault. And yes, he already felt guilty enough and yes, he was depressed about it too. So it was so nice and good of Macey to forgive her father. It should hopefully be a load off his mind.
Sabo is so adorable, especially when he is worrying over Macey. I think Macey and Sabo are a lot of people's otp for this story. And yes, the younger members of the crew are just so adorable, aren't they? I almost wish they were real too XD!
Then again… to me they are almost are real… no, I'm not crazy or saying that to look enough. But I do kind of write their story and stuff so to them, it's almost like they are live, since I am writing them.
Another cliffhanger? What cliffhanger? *grinning evilly* I don't know what you're talking about. But I better finish up with these reviews so I can get back to writing. I need to finish the next 'are we dating or our families' chapter then do the next FB chapter, then the next omake chapter for that, then do the next omake chapter for this plus finish the main story chapter as well.
BTW guys- the next 'Are we dating or our families?' chapter isn't the last!
Guest1-
Oh, thank you. The omakes are hilarious, aren't they? And I think we all pity Marco and pray that he will safe, Naomi as well. I think we all can't help but to tease those two. Though, we might lose lives doing so…
Shadow guy or MSP (mysterious Shadow Person as I like to call to him), is he bad or good? Well, I get it's depends on your point of view I guess. Can't say much else without giving away too much away. But yes, so much for the 'ticket to protecting her crew and the ASL trio'. Garp could have taken them killed- though he has no about MSP, just remember that. So how is meant to know? But yes, it would have most likely gotten them killed, literally, then Macey wouldn't have been able to meet her dad and the whitebeard crew. Which would actually suck and…
Wait, stop. I am about to go into 'relieve future storyline' mode. Can't do that, I need to stop doing that!
And as for the OCs. Yes, they do have too many harsh and sad childhoods. Not all of them are Marines doing, but I agree, what are the marines doing? What justice is there really? Other than Corazon who is helping Law and Garp who is currently occupied but has no idea about some of the others that are going, I mean, he knows they're going on and all but he doesn't know that they are going on as we speak kind of thing… did hat make sense? I hope so. But yes, Garp's not exactly helping anyone right now is he? And he is a doing a perfectly good job in calling Macey girl, or brat. Yeah, Garp doesn't really have any right to insult Macey after what the Marine have done, does he?
Anonymous-
Gotta be the longest review I have ever written? Maybe, I don't know. I just know that it was longest chapter I have ever written, because, damn, that was fucking long. And BTW, do not expect long chapters like that very time or I will die.
And thank you. I like answering reviews, I find them fun.
And I know right? It is almost like the Marines turned into Pirates and Pirates into the good guys. I wouldn't be surprised if Whitebeard has helped more people than the marines ever did. Since the Marines haven't and aren't even stopping slavery and turn a blind eye to things, especially when the World Governments and Celestial Dragons are involved.
When the omakes end? Well, the Marco and Naomi ones will mostly end with Naomi's death. from there, there will be more omakes for different characters and different things.
Yes, another Macey and Garp argument. I was worried about the crew and the Free Flyer if it broke if those two decided to fight, again. Oh my god, your right! Garp and Macey were almost like I refuse your refusal! Bahahaaha! That's hilarious, I didn't notice that till now! And you have heard the line from Luffy when he refuses Sanji's refusal to join his crew XD. Like, Luffy logic- blowing minds since 1999 with the anime.
There are too many people (especially poor kids) suffering out there. and what the hell are the marines doing to help? Nothing! Corazon doesn't count since he is helping Law and Garp is too busy eating rice crackers and arguing with people, and kids, like Macey and his grand-sons. Aw well, your right, if they fight they fight. Not much anyone can do about it.
Am the only the one who wants Garp to randomly pay Marco, Whitebeard and the Whitebeard Pirates a visit?
And yes, all we can ask is for the crew to stay safe, especially the devil fruit eaters on board since they would drown… then again, we have Don would save them. and Sin would throw a sissy fit if anything happened to the ship…
Sin *death glaring me*
Help me! *looking to fans*
Macey: why?
Sin is going to kill me!
Sin: she knows why!
Macey: why?
Plans for the future… Sin doesn't like them…
Sin: and why would I like the idea of the ship that I BUILT from scratch being injured or destroyed!
Macey: Sin, you know that the ship isn't a person… right?
Sin: shut up!
Anyway…
Sin: oh we are not done yet!
One- when did Macey wake up? two- where the hell are Jack and Blue… on second thought, don't answer that second one. I have a feeling I know where they are and what they are…
Macey: each other?
Macey!
Macey: what?
Sigh *sighing* she's hopeless, I swear… anyway…
Macey: what did I do?
Sin: I have no idea
Anyway! yes, Ace has a cousin. That is cool isn't it? will she mention Roger? Just wait to find out! but I do agree, Ace is absolutely terrifying when Roger is mentioned and I know right? A normal person would have run away if a suspicious person suddenly appears out of nowhere and saying they know something and all that. I don't think Rosa is normal… then again, what is 'normal'? I think we would say and answer that question differently, since normal for me might be not be normal for you and visa-versa.
Himeka-
Yes, I am back.
Melody playing cupid? Maybe, maybe not. Read and find out! should you feel sorry for them or not? Hmm… keep reading and find out XD!
Yes, some rules are meant to be broken and Marco is an exception to the rule to Naomi. And if Naomi never crossed that line, then we wouldn't have Macey now would we? Naomi breaking rules, good or bad? Hm… I think good.
Macey has guts for calling Garp an 'moronic audacious ideologically unsound presumptuous asshole'? do I need to remind you that this is Macey and does crazy and insane things at times? It has nothing to do with guts. It's more like Macey seems to know to no-fear. And I think we were all laughing at Macey for calling Garp that too. I think we can all understand Macey's feelings. Not many of us like the marines. And yes, last chapter did beat chapter 21.
Oh my god… lols, your right. Everyone with sad pasts are destined to be with the FFP, lols.
Sanae6700-
Yes, Marco and Naomi are both tsunderes in denial aren't they? They do like each other. And yes, it was Happy that says that line from Fairy Tail, isn't it?
Why does everyone want to kill or hit me? Why?!
Oh my god, your right… it does sound like ransom note! Oh god!
Bahaahahaahaha! Macey going GBFBD mode, her own style and way! I love it! that's hilarious! And Shao, poor, poor, poor, Shao. He does have to with for a while now, doesn't he? But I can see why he did it. Garp would have thrown a hissy fit if he didn't.
Garp: oh! Rice cracks!
Macey: that actually worked… *pulls out pen and paper* need to make note of that.
And I know right? If it wasn't for the Marines then Macey wouldn't be sad! Hopefully Sabo does cheer her up, he has done had a good job of that lately, hasn't he? Sabo's a total sweetheart! Have to love him. Is Sabo going to tell Macey first that he is going to join the FFP? Well, wait to read to find out. and yes, even if Sabo doesn't join the Revolutionary Army he will still be helping people, I can see some Slave Auction and Auction Houses being destroyed and raided in the future, can you XD? And don't worry. Sabo won't be going anywhere. Not as long as I have a say with in it. yes, Sabo would get strong trying with Dragon and the Revolutionary Army and all, but well… he's place is with Macey and the Freedom Fighters and we all know it.
Yes, it's a lot of OCs right off the bat and there are more to come. Is Crystal's mum her biological mum? Well, um, yes. there is a backstory to Crystal that will be covered soon, I swear. What kind of parent makes her child eat some weird candy and abandons her like that? Well, one that could care less about said child. Poor Crystal. It is inhuman, isn't it?
Oh Britta, poor sweet Britta, who will soon become Macey's sister like it or not. The poor dear. We have a backstory to cover with her too. She did kill some from a gang and the guy did deserve it. he killed her family.
And yes, all of the OCs, ASL and original storyline characters do have seriously messed up childhoods. Its all sad. And yes, Luffy is as cheerful as ever which does make him cute and Ace and Sabo are here so it's cuteness all around, isn't it? XD. Gotta love the ASL trio.
Marco is such a doting and overprotective parent and he did get away with calling her girl, lucky him! Yes, it is a relief isn't it? and yes, it is very true that Macey didn't punch Luffy and/or Ace because they didn't it insultingly and because they are adorable and because Macey wanted younger siblings. And thanks for loving the Fire Brothers update too.
Faye-
Thank you! Someone else that can tell Macey to not hit me! I do need my creative mind!
Macey: creative mind? What creative mind?
*depressed in corner* that's mean! *whining* Macey's mean!
Macey *rolls eyes*: whatever, just get on with the reviews.
Meanie… *muttering and crossing arms at Macey who just rolls her eyes again* anyway, I think we all would be concerned for and with Marco now, but we all can't help but laugh as we imagine what Naomi will do to him this chapter. Well, you can find out this chapter! I hope you enjoy and like it! I don't think it's what anyone was expecting!
Macey is stubborn? Really? I never noticed… okay, yes I did but that's not the point. I would beg to not cut it too short too, but there's always tomorrow. Macey can always talk to her father the next day, or night. And I know right, it is great that she'll listen to others and hear them out but it is a little sad that she won't mostly listen to whatever it the person says. Or does listen to it but decides to ignore it. I worry and fear for the sanity of her crew too, and Garp too I guess.
Ace learning manners from Macey… it will be… interesting to say the least XD. And I know right? Luffy is so cute and he does get final say in couple names, only because he's cute little shit who wouldn't change his mind once it's made up… why do I feel like I just described a male Macey…
Yes, so many OCs are entering. And I know right? If this is the longest chapter than what does that make chapter 21? Like 1, 150 odd words shorter…
And I know right? No-one better hurt or worse, kill Macey and the FFP. I think we would be sad if that happened and Marco would be on a murderous rampage.
Doflamingo, did he and Naomi meet? Maybe, maybe not. He is a devil evil fruit eater as you said so they might have, or it might have Nix or Nic he met. You never know. And I know right? Doflamingo better not hurt Macey or the others, damn him! He is a sadistic flamingo isn't he? And don't worry about the insults, I kind of suck at them too… where did I get the idea for Macey's insult for Garp then?
Er… I kind of steal it from a meme I have… don't judge me! I read it and thought, 'oh my god, that sounds likes something Macey would say' and well, yeah. I used it.
Sabo and Macey, I believe we all await another moment they share. Which they might not realise is romantic till their older. And I know right? Poor Macey is suffering, poor thing. And yes, Sabo seems to always end up comforting her, doesn't he? It's so cute and sweet.
Nekohime-chan-
Thanks. And yes, Ace protests to hugs and I think we're all happy that Sabo took the chance to hug Macey more. don't worry about double reviewing because you pushed enter by accident. it happens. And I know right? I jus adore the ASL and Macey too! I'm not exactly fond of the marines or Noman either.
Macey and Naomi are amazing aren't they? And thank you. It was a sweet father-daughter moment wasn't it? and I know right? Poor Macey, the Marines are the definition of evil aren't they? They did corrupt Macey's poor innocent mind. I'm sure that Sabo can cheer her up since her a doting father Marco can't. and I know right? Poor Marco doesn't even know his daughter is crying and that she is pain right now. So we can't blame or shouldn't blame him, that's right. How is meant to be there for Macey when he can't and she kind of doesn't say anything either?
I wish Sabo good luck with his brothers too. I think Sabo will spill the beans about joining the Freedom Fighters soon. And don't get me start on Garp and what little sanity he has at times, that damn crazy old man, but at least he has stopped calling Macey girl, kind of.
Yes, so many OCs are coming out to play, and there are more to come! Don't ask me what kind of mother freaking leave their kid alone, the bad kind. Considering we haven't covered much of Crystal's past, it's sad. But in short, her mother is cruel and is not a very nice people, I just hope that Macey and others find little Crys (pronounced as Kris/Chris) soon.
Rosa… yeah, normally people wouldn't follow someone would be highly suspicious so willingly… and he is actually on the FFP side so it's very good indeed. And I hope we hear and see from Rosa again soon. I think everyone wants her and Ace to meet and we all think Rosa shouldn't bring up or talk about Roger to Ace. And yes, Rouge will be a very safe topic. Rosa is sorta like Sabo, just Sabo was neglected by both of his parents. Rosa lost her mother and her father neglected her.
Yes, Doflamingo is an early villain here. We are going to have so much fun with the Doflamingo in this storyline. I hope you all look forward to it. and he better stay away from Macey, the FFP, ASL trio and Law and Cora-san. Don't worry Law and Cora-san, your in safe hands with Red who is taking you to Macey and FFP.
Macey: yay! More hugs!
Hug! *hugging everyone*
Ace: why?! *whining*
Luffy: yay! Hugs!
Sabo *hugs Macey mostly and says nothing*
I really can't wait for older Macey and Sabo, we can some such fun with them. especially with cute and sweet awkwardness and awkward moments.
Shirayuji-
Thank you. Yes, the Marines don't seem think do that? Can anyone actually stand Akainu? I mean, if we don't involve or include Ace's death by his hand. I can't stand or like the man- he's dirty cheat and a manipulator, his form of justice is messed up, he has killed his own men and fellow marines, he has killed innocent people and the guy us a fucking ass over all. now that I think it… does he even have any good points? Because I can't find or think of any…
I believe we are all wishing Lavi good luck with Macey and his future in the FFP. He might need it. but then again, neither him or Jack would be able to stand being marines for even a minute, let alone hour. Probably why Blue is the undercover and is doing the mission solo style- no-one else would able to survive doing it for too long. How Blue can do it beyond the crew. Then again, I haven't covered Blue's and Red's backstories yet…
I'll need to do that sooner or later… *shrug shoulders* we'll get there when we get there. maybe I will make it an omake? Who knows?
Yeah… Macey and Garp fighting is never a good thing…. I think… it doesn't sound good at least anyway. I would be more worried about the state of the ship and the crew if the two did end up fighting on the ship. It will not end well if it happens. So yeah, it's not the brightest idea that would or could happened, is it?
Sabo is so cute, isn't he? And I know right? It is funny and cute how Sabo is more worried about Macey then brothers argument… then again those two fighting isn't rare or anything, so… yeah… I can see why Sabo is more worried about Macey then Ace and Luffy. But yes, it's a shame he still hasn't officially said that he is joining the Freedom Fighters. I think a lot of people are looking forward to seeing Sabo officially join the crew. And yes, ten points for Sin who chose Sabo as Macey's personal comforter, and guess what? That's not going to change any time soon XD!
Yes, poor Macey. Our poor baby. And it was a sweet father-daughter moment, wasn't it? don't worry, there are more to come. Yes, even Macey needs someone to lean and that is most likely going to end up being Sabo looking at how things are going. Isn't a personal comforter like a shoulder to lean on after all?
I say nothing about cliffhangers, as I like them. Mawhahaahaha! *laughing evilly* I do actually have a pretty good evil laugh in real live too. Makes me laugh, makes my 12 and 14 turning 15 year old brothers look at me funny. While my younger sister and other younger brother just shake their heads at me. Mum says it's good and dad asks if I got it from cartoon villain because it reminds of them. Mum says it reminds her of the evil laughter from comedy villains.
I just like it as it sounds kind of like a Disney villain evil laugh to me. I guess everyone is entitled to their opinion. But the only one I listen to is mine and mum's, because my mother is scary when you don't listen to her. Where do you think I get Naomi's scariness from? The muse for it is my mother. Good thing she doesn't read fanfics or I could get in trouble. *shivers at thought*
Littleotaku4019-
Thank you. This is a great story, isn't it? and yes, oh no Garp is really pushing his luck. Does he realise (or remember) what the marines did to Macey? Who knows, the man is insanity as membrane sometimes. I swear. And yes, it could be a safe car for Macey and her crew for now (or maybe not with Mystery Shadow Person around) but once the marines, especially some of the higher up ones, realise who and what Macey is, then yes, they will most likely try to manipulate her or something. It's not mostly pride that made Macey turn down the deal/offer. It is small part of the reason why, but the main reason is that Macey is thinker and she knows that if the Marines find out and work out who is she then they will try to use her- like they tried with her mother and uncles. Macey's not an idiot, if there's a chance of someone wanting or trying to use her for her knowledge and stuff as an Aschgate… it would put her crew at risk and that is the last thing she wants. So it's best to avoid all things like that, at least, that's the way Macey sees and thinks of it.
So don't worry, it's just your opinion. Macey isn't dumb enough to put herself in a position where she could or would be used if her real identity is discovered. Yes, so many OCs are coming and sorry, all I know and seem to do are cliffhangers. Keeps everything fun and interesting right!? XD! I believe we're all looking forward to new and the next chapters.
DBZ-
So, how you do like everyone's reaction to young Crystal so far? I like their reactions, they're all want I expected. And don't worry, the Freedom Fighters will be making a quick move to Crys, don't worry about that. How would Cora-san feel about the FFPs? Guilty? Probably. How will Law take the crew as a whole?... I have no idea at this point in time! But I do agree, Kaitlyn and Law will most likely bump heads.
There are so many reasons why you shouldn't get involved in gang, (we're talking about Britta here right?) but there is a story there, that we will cover.
I do agree, Luffy's version of getting rid of the paper would have been more dramatic. Hey, if Macey had the devil fruit I have decided on for her, she would have burn the papers instead of just throwing them overboard into the ocean. And by the way Macey, you shouldn't litter and throw trash into the ocean, it's not good for the environment you know. But yes, everyone has their own reason for why they take up the position. Hawkeyes is for fun and for looking for people worthy to fight with him. Jinbei's is to help his people and protect the former slaves in the crew. Kuma's I think was meant to be a spy for Dragon and co. Crocodiles was for revenge. Hancock's is to protect her island and her people in an kind of odd and weird way. And they're the only people and reasons I can think of right now…
Kaitlyn is definitely capable of keeping her composure which would only improve, looking bored but dying of laughter on the inside is a great skill. She does deserve a medal for that since the were either laughing or were confused.
Mystery man, he be will popping up again. and yes, he has appeared in one or many two of other stories… I know it is definitely one. I can't remember if he makes an appearance in the other one I am thinking of or not…
Yes, the sisters appear. I was wondering and thinking of when to bring them in and I thought where I have done it was the perfect time and place. I hope you agree. How long till they come across the FFP? Well, soon-ish, that's all I will say. Trying to decide if it's before or after their fight/encounter with Arlong, which will be interesting to say the least for what I have planned.
Yes, Ace's cousin is here. And he will have mixed feelings about her. Happy that he meets and get to know someone who is from his mother's side and who kind of knew her, but he will be upset when she asks him what happened to her. There are so many questions that the two could ask other, about not only each other but about their families and stuff as well.
Yes, Doflamingo would be making his move after Vergo give him any information on Macey that is available. Blue most likely won't be able to find and destroy it all before it gets to Doflamingo. But one thing I can say, is that he will not know who Macey's father is unless he works it out himself. which he could, he is a very smart man. But there is no paperwork or records (official or unofficial) on who Mace's father is. and yes, Blue would be able to warn the crew that Doflamingo is after them when he finds out.
It was very nice to have Macey talk to her dad, it was a very cute father-daughter moment. And I know right? Sin did do the right thing in thinking of brining and getting Sabo to Macey during her breakdown. There are others who could work or help- like Shao or West, but not to the same extent as what Sabo and his presence can.
AceAyane-
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to tell part of the secret of our shadow person! And that's right, they don't who it is and how it'll happen and how it will work out, only you and I do. So *evil laughter* mawhahahha!
I love the chapter and the reviews too! They're always so interesting and fun and funny right?! I can't wait to see the fans reaction to our shadowy friend either. It is going to be interesting! And fun! And probably funny too. Can't forget thoses. And thanks for helping for the beta reading for the main story too. Love ya! Right Macey? Ace? Sabo? Luffy? FFP?Original text
Everyone: right! Love ya AceAyane!
anyway, on with the omake chapter!
Freedom Fighter Pirate Omake
Chapter 3: Naomi and Marco- Please don't hit me again…
Mid-September Marco- 17 turning 18, Naomi- 19 turning 20
A littler while earlier
Naomi dusted herself off as Marines- young, old, middle-aged- pretty much all of them that had come into the pub- a small squad of fifty marines… hey, don't judge or say a thing. A group of fifty was small to Naomi, she has travelled with pirate crews and group with much longer number, smaller numbers as well… okay, maybe fifty is more like a medium size group. But that's not the point, the point is- she handled it.
"Assholes," was all she said as she packed up her stuff and people were just staring at Naomi as she had grown a second head or something. And a few of them looking at her as if she was insane or something, not that she blames them. Not many people would do that to the Marines nor could they call them names like bastards or assholes nor would anyone really fight against and win against the Marines. But Naomi has been taught and trained to handle these kind of situations and others have not, so, yeah.
"Can I get my food to go please?" Naomi asked the waitress who seemed to holding onto Naomi's food. She had a feeling that there were more Marines nearby and she didn't want to bother the poor people or staff or owner here any longer than she had too. If the Marines wanted her then they come at her, just, not with so many innocent people around. They have nothing to do with this and Naomi doesn't anyone getting hurt because of her or because of this. That wasn't fair to them.
Anyone who she hurts if a different matter altogether of course. Like that cute idiot blonde who has the phoenix devil fruit, whose nose she broke. Stupid cute idiot for getting in the middle of her fight. Doesn't he realise he is going to get himself hurt, seriously injured and/or killed doing that type of thing? Naomi could have killed or hurt him! Thinking he was with that Norman and his crew!
And what the hell was he thinking when he got involved in her fight anyway?! what if she didn't hurt him? What if someone else did!? What if Norman or one of his crew had sea-stone weapons on them or something!? He could have gotten hurt or injured or killed! The kid just can't go around getting involved in other people's fights! Forget that she had the whole thing handled and sorted! He shouldn't be butting his nose into other person's business! It's that kind of thing that gets you killed, injured or worse! Even with devil fruit that can heal like his phoenix one! One wrong move… if he is at the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong people… he could have actually and physically die!
Devil fruits aren't all powerful! They're not indestructible like someone think they are! They have weaknesses you know!
The young girl who had Naomi's food nodded her head quickly as she raced back to the kitchen and put the food into a container for Naomi to take away.
All Naomi could do was curse the damn Marines. This place shouldn't have that many Marines! It's meant to be a neutral territory! Or under pirate control! It doesn't have a marine base here! And Naomi had been looking forward to sitting down at the tavern as she went through her map to find out where she is, but no, the fucking Marines had to make an appearance and ruin her plans to relax while worked out she was! Do the Marines have idea how stressful and annoying they are?! Or how stressful and annoying they are making this situation for Naomi!?
They're lucky she didn't kill them all! She only broke one person's neck, only one of them! Will the person survive it? who cares? He was being pompous jackass, the man had no manners what so ever! She told him to stop calling her girl, but did he listen? NO! so he only got what he deserved! And if he ends up dying or is dead, well it's his OWN fault! And to make things worse, there wasn't a piano in sight! Naomi was in a annoyed, pissed off and stressed off mode right now and there was no piano that she could play in sight!
What…? She likes playing the piano to relax. It's a good way to relax, well, at least Naomi thinks it is. she always finds it relaxing to play, especially when she is in a bad mood, like she is right now. Okay, fuck this shit. Naomi is going back to her ship, once she gets her food. Where's the food? She's hungry!
Food is another good way to get Naomi out of a bad mood too. Naomi loves food, but then again, she's D. And from Naomi's understanding all D.'s seemed to have a thing with food. Herself and her family are a good example of that. So was Roger. There was also some guy that Naomi had about from her brother Nicholai in the Marines, a Monkey D. Garp she thinks he's name was. He was into food too. So all D.'s that she knows or has heard of, are all into food.
"Your food Miss," the young waitress said to Naomi. The young waitress was shaking a little. probably scared of Naomi, not that Naomi blamed her.
Naomi smiled sweetly as she took the food and hand over 100, 000 belli. She had kind ordered a lot of food and had broken a few things when she took the Marines out. Plus, she kind of felt bad about scaring the staff and owner. Then Naomi put 5, 000 Belli into the girl's pocket. That was for her, just for the girl. Since, though she was scared of Naomi, was still brave enough to talk to her and be polite.
"Keep the change," Naomi smiled taking the food then smiled when the girl noticed the money in her pocket. "And that's for you. A tip for having to deal with scary little old me. Bye." Naomi smiled and waved as she headed for the door.
"Wait!" a female voice shouted.
Naomi stopped and looked behind her to see a girl a few years (Naomi is guess three or four years) younger than her- about a hundred and seventy-one centimetres tall, long dark brown hair with blonde highlights that was down and out, 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. She also had glasses on the top of her head. Who was she? And who was the guy with her?
He seemed be around Naomi's height so a hundred and eighty-eight centimetres tall with thick brown hair and emerald green eyes and he was wearing black pants, sandals and light blue shirt. Who are these two? Naomi doesn't recognise them.
"Your Naomi, right?" the girl said getting up and coming over to her.
Did she not just hear the Marines talking to Naomi?
"Mel…" the guy said coming after her.
"Shut up West! I'm not talking to you!" the girl turned and glared at her friend a bit. Which Naomi couldn't help but chuckle at. Naomi didn't think that the glare was all that scary but the guy, West, didn't seem to like it so he shut up pretty quickly. Then she was all smiles as she acted like she didn't just glare at her friend which did make Naomi laugh. She liked this girl! "St. Claire Melody, but you can call me Melody or Mel." As she put her hand out for Naomi to shake.
"Aschgate D. Naomi," Naomi smiled at the girl and shook her hand. Naomi liked her. "But you can call me Naomi. What can I do for you?"
"Well, I heard you were looking for us!" the brunette teen smiled.
Looking for them…? what…? Wait! Did that mean…!
"You're with Edward Newgate's crew?" Naomi asked- a little excitedly and happily. That was the only crew or people that she was currently really looking for. So this Melody chick had to be with him!
"Right!" Melody smiled. "I'm a nurse in training on Pops' ship."
Pops…? Who was that…?
"Oh, that's what we call our Captain," she smiled and explained to Naomi, since most people wouldn't know who she was talking. "He sees us more like a family than a crew really, so we're both! A family and a crew all in one. It's great!"
That actually sounds nice… kind of unusual, not weird, just unusual. But still, it sounded nice to be a part of something like that. It almost sounded like he was giving them a place to be belong and be, without caring about what anyone else thinks. Because Naomi is pretty sure that they have been teased and picked on a bit because of it.
"That sounds interesting," Naomi couldn't help but smile.
"You don't think it's weird? Most people do," Melody commented.
"Please," Naomi couldn't help but laugh and wave it off. "You think that people think that's weird? Try being a devil fruit researcher- where people either say what I am researcher is either fake or a myth. Or people try to use you for your knowledge on the topic. Though, not as bad as people trying and thinking they can trick you into calling something that isn't a devil fruit, a devil fruit. Though it's not as bad as when you get invited to hang out with a crew so you can study their devil fruit or the eater of a fruit, then they try to steal your research or try to force you into telling them everything you know about the fruit. Or other fruits and their eaters." That was just plain old annoying, well, at least it was to Naomi.
Naomi was still a bit of a bad mood because of the Marines, but she was a slightly better mood now talking to Melody and West, though mostly Melody.
"That sounds annoying," Melody commented.
"It is," Naomi sighed. It truly was annoying, especially after they make deals and the other party decide they don't want to keep with it. Naomi has been to break bones when that happens- because it was just annoying and rude. "Would I be able to meet your captain and maybe talk to him later? I have a few things I need to do right now."
"Of course! We're at the West Docks," Melody smiled and nodded. "I'll let Pops know. I'm sure he will be more than happy to talk to you and help you out however he can!"
The West Docks? That's where Naomi was too!
"Cool! I'm at the West Dock as well," Naomi smiled. "Just stand near wherever you ship is and I will meet you there. Say in, three and half hours?"
"Sure!" Melody nodded. "You can join us dinner too if you like. I don't know how long your talk with Pops will take or be. And I bet depending on how it is and how it goes, Pops will insist for you to stay with us for at least dinner."
Food…
The best and ultimate biding item, well, at least it is with Naomi. Other than devil fruits and devil fruit eaters of course.
"Oh you so have a deal there!" Naomi grinned. "But just to warn you to warn your chef, I eat a lot." If anything goes by how much food Naomi seems to be carrying and has on her now is any hint to that.
"Oh, if you're going to the West Docks now I'll show you which one our ship is now then!" Melody smiled as she ran back to where she had been sitting and grabbed her bag. Melody had already eaten her food and she isn't much of a drinker.
"Sure, I don't mind," Naomi smiled as she waited for Melody.
"Mel…" West said trying to get her attention but all he got was said person sticking her tongue out at him and ignore him as she walked off with Naomi.
"So what is your crew name?" Naomi asked as her and Melody walked out the door.
"Whitebeard Pirates!" Melody grinned. "I have no idea why, but that's what we call yourselves and what others calls Pops."
That is what the bartender from the island that Roger had dropped Naomi at had called Edward Newgate when she first asked about the man and how to find him, six months ago. They had called him Whitebeard.
"Cool, interesting name," Naomi smiled as they walked together. "Named after the Captain then I take it?"
"Yep!" Melody laughed and smiled.
"Aschgate D. Naomi?" a voice said as Melody and Naomi had left the tavern and walked towards the West Dock.
Who the hell wants her attention now!?
"Yes?!" Naomi answered really annoyed then kind of paled. Like HOLY MOTHER OF THE FUCKING SEA GODS! Just how many Marines are there!? It's like a whole fucking Warship if not more! Seriously man, just like what the fuck!?
Naomi doesn't think she can win a fight against this many Marines… if it was Pirates, maybe, she would be able to find a way. But with Marines? It was kind of a different story, especially when she had a pirate with her right now. Naomi cannot let Melody get caught or in trouble because of her or because the Marines want her. Naomi does not like bringing other people into her problems or troubles. "Melody, leave right now."
"But Naomi…" Melody started as the Marines just rushed at them.
Fuck! Fuck! Just fuck!
Five minutes later…
"Let her go!" Naomi shouted as she as kicked and broken another Marine's knee. This was why Naomi worked alone, so she doesn't have to worry about others. Naomi works alone for this very reason! She can't stand people to get hurt or involved in her work or problems. Naomi can't let Melody- even if she barely knows the younger girl, get hurt because her! "Let her go!"
Naomi activated her Conqueror's Haki and it knocked several of the marines and as Naomi ran over to Melody to make sure she was okay. Fuck… this is not a fight that Naomi can win… there are too many Marines for her to fight, especially consisting she fought fifty of them barely ten minutes ago and just used up nearly all of her Haki between them, these guys and her using her Conqueror's Haki to help free/save Melody. Naomi can tell she is running out of energy.
"Run, now," Naomi told Melody as she pushed the girl towards to the West Docks behind them more. "I'll meet up with you later."
"But Naomi…" Melody said noticing that Naomi looked tried.
"No point in both of us getting caught," Naomi smiled as Melody just stared at her. The older girl was protecting her? "Go Melody."
Melody slowly nodded her head and ran for it. She wasn't going to let the Marines take Naomi away! But Melody wasn't strength enough to find them herself… she needed Pops and the others! She needed to get back to the ship before it was too late! She had to get back to them before the Marines took Naomi away! They were close to the ship!
Melody just prays she makes it in time…
A few minutes later…
Naomi struggled against the sea-stone chains that one of the Marines had managed to wrap around her. Fuck Naomi's head hurt… the chain had some kind of ball at the end of it and had hit her in the head before. Fuck… low on energy, fucking headache, being kidnapped by the fucking Marines and being carried like a sack of fucking potatoes over someone's shoulder…
Well, just because Naomi is low on energy and has a headache doesn't mind she is going to be quiet or take this insult by the marines laying or sitting down. They want to kidnap her? Fine, she will make sure that the whole island that that's what they're doing then.
Fucking assholes.
Naomi hates to admit it… but… she needs help… from anyone… she doesn't care from who right now, she just needs help… though, if the help happens to come from a certain cute blonde if he was here then Naomi won't complain and she promises whatever sea gods are listening to her prays right now that she will apologise to him if he randomly appeared again and saved her.
"LET GO ME YOU ASSHOLES!" Naomi yelled at them but they just ignored her.
Naomi isn't going to be picky about who saves or who comes to save her right now, even if apologising goes against her pride. She just needs help, though she hates to admit it, she really is in trouble and really needs someone's help…
If these were normal chains, Naomi might be able to do something about them but they're fucking sea-stone. It is one of the fucking hardest substances on the fucking planet and in all of the Blues and on both sides of the Grandline. There was no way in hell that Naomi was going to be able to break it!
Naomi is going to kick their asses if she can manage to get out of this! Can someone just help her already! Please!
"AS SOON AS I GET OUT THIS SEA-STONE I'M KICKING YOUR ASSES!" Naomi screamed at the Marines again, and they just ignored her again. Naomi was struggling the best she could, but she was failing to get out of the sea-stone.
"Let her go!" a familiar voice shouted as Naomi felt herself fall as someone had tackled and taken out the guy that had been carrying her.
What…? Who…?
"Phoenix…" Naomi said as she managed to look at who was helping her. No way… it was cute blonde guy who she had met with the Phoenix Devil Fruit Powers… had he gotten taller in these past six months?
"Marco!" another person shouted as he kicked several Marines in the face, stomach and gut then knocked them out with either a well-placed kick or punch or hit to the neck.
Marco… was that his name…? Naomi stared at the blonde who was guessing was Marco, the damn cute and now taller blonde… holy mother fuck and heaven forbid… Marco was just Naomi's type… why does he have to be a devil fruit eater?! It was a clear researcher rule that they do not sleep or get involved with any of their research subjects! But fuck… Naomi so wants to break that rule right now…
"Get Naomi out of the sea-stone chain Col!" Marco shouted at the other guy as he was fighting against the Marines. "Now!"
The guy Col sighed as ran over to Naomi and stared to pick the lock on the sea-stone as well had a snail on the ground next to him.
"Jozu here," the snail said.
"Come down eight or ten ships from the Moby right now!" Col shouted at the snail. "Marco started a fight with the marines and it's just him, me and some girl called Naomi here to fight them! and I'm going to pick the lock on Naomi's chains! We'll explain when you guys get here just hurry!"
"On our way Col," Jozi said as Naomi could hear a female voice talking to Jozu and coming through the snail suddenly.
"Jozu! You need to help me! There's this person getting kidnapped by the Marines! She's the one who broke Marco's nose six months ago!"
What…?
Naomi looked over at Marco. That female voice sounded like Melody and she was talking to the guy who Col was talking to and Col was with Marco… did that mean that Melody was with Marco too…? But Melody was a part of the crew that Naomi has been looking for… did that mean… did that mean… was Marco apart of Edward Newgate's, aka Whitebeard, was Marco a part of that crew too…? Which means she has been avoiding the crew that she has been looking for…? Since she has been avoiding Marco.
Wait a minute… Naomi can worry about that later. She has something else that decides her attention right now.
Naomi looked annoyed as she head-butted Col as hard as she could. The asshole called her a girl! She's not a girl! When will people stop calling her and treating her like a child?! She's an adult and a respected researcher! At least, she's respected where she is from- Isila. But that's not the point right now. The point is this Col guy was being disrespectful! He shouldn't be calling her girl!
"Don't call me girl you asshole! My name is Naomi and I am a devil fruit researcher! Plus I'm almost twenty! I'm not a girl! I will kick your ass if I hear you call me that again!"
Colin so hated Marco right now. They were starting a fight with the Marines outnumbered and outpowered most likely too, why he called Jozu for help. The ship wasn't that far away so the others should get here soon. Hell, Pops could just shake the air and ground around them even too for all Colin cared. They just need help to fight the fucking Marines!
But what Colin was really annoyed with was this chick Naomi. She was fucking ungrateful! And fuck she has a fucking hard head! That head-butt hurt!
"Don't call me girl you asshole! My name is Naomi and I am a devil fruit research!" Naomi yelled at him like he had insulted her or something. All he did was call her girl! "Plus I'm almost twenty! I'm not a girl! I will kick your ass if I hear you call me that again!"
So she was a year older than Colin. Who fucking cares? Head butting him over the small comment of 'girl' is fucking overkill! It fucking hurt! And Colin swears that his forehead is now bleeding because of it!
"You're lucky I can't punch and break your nose," the Naomi chick told Colin making his shiver. Why does he have a feeling that if she managed to punch him that she would end up doing worse than just a broken nose to him?
What hell has Marco gotten Colin into?
Marco didn't bother looking back at Col after he told him to get Naomi out of the chains, he had other things to worry about. Like the Marines right here in front of him. Col is probably going to want to struggle or kill Marco later. Oh well, Marco can deal with it when it comes to that later. Right now, he had to keep these Marines away from Colin so he can set Naomi free and the fight will look more like going their way. And hopefully Colin was able to call Jozu and get him and some of the others to come over here and help too.
Marco kicked another Marine in the gut and flipped another into some of his fellow marines.
Come on! How long does it take to unlock a lock on some chains and get them off someone!? Seriously!
Marco heard a crack and Naomi shouting about something. God damn it… she didn't just kill Colin did she? Because Marco does not want to explain that to anyone! Marco looked behind him quickly as did a spin around round house kick. Oh thank god Col was still alive, he just might end up having a headache and… Col's forehead is bleeding… Marco is never going to hear the end of this from Colin, he just knows it.
Maybe Marco should have warned Colin that Naomi has a little bit of a temper and from Marco's understanding she doesn't like being called girl…
Oh well, too late. Not much Marco or Colin can do about it now. Col just might talk to Marco for a few days.
Marco turned his attention back to the marines. Marco better hurry up this up and Colin better hurry up too. Because Marco is probably going to need help…
A shiver went up Marco's spine which could only one thing.
"DUCK!" Marco shouted as he pretty much turned his back to the marines and jumped on top of Naomi and Col as they felt the air around them, the ground and the very sky itself shake. It seems that Pops heard about Marco and Col fighting the marines.
Colin was on the ground still trying to the pick the lock as the Marines fell down, looking horrified and terrified as they were trying to work out what was happening. While Marco was right on top of Naomi, kind of really close to her face which made him blush and look away from her and he hadn't noticed where one of his hands was…
"Hi… again…" Marco said.
"Hi yourself," Naomi said in a voice Marco wasn't sure what to make of. She didn't sound mad… but at the same time, she didn't sound happy. "I don't think we introduced ourselves to each other the first time we met. Aschgate D. Naomi but most people either call me Naomi or Aschgate."
"Fennec Marco," Marco answered. "But most people call me Marco, Marco the Phoenix or Phoenix."
"It's… nice to meet you Marco," Naomi smiled and said happily.
Marco felt his heart stop. She was smiling… she was actually smiling! Marco had actually made the gir… the people who death glared him pretty much every time she saw him to actually smile! So does that mean that she won't broke his nose this time? She's not going to try to punch him again right? She wasn't going to break his nose again, right? Or break any other broke or body part of his, right? Please don't let her hit him again…
"Can you stop feeling me up?" Naomi said in the voice that Marco couldn't read.
What…? Stop… what?!
Marco looked down and blushed even harder when he noticed where his hand was. Right on her breast… fuck, now there was a completely and utterly different reason for her to kill or break any bone in his body now… fuck… Marco was dead, she was going to kill him!
"Bold move birdie," Colin smirked at Marco as he finally got the chain unlocked and the world stopped shaking.
Marco sat up as quickly as he could, completely and utterly embarrassed and ashamed of himself. And of course moved his hand away from Naomi's breast as quickly as he could too.
"I… I'm sorry! I didn't mean for that happen!" Marco tried hoping to try to explain himself. "It was an accident I swear!"
Colin was snickering as Whitebeard come over and he stood in front of them and pointed his weapon of choice at the marines. And said Marines looked like they were shitting themselves, Pops was always good at scaring the hell of people, especially the Marines.
"Attack my children will ya?" Whitebeard said making a few of the marines shake when they realised who he was. He was Edward Newgate, aka Whitebeard, rival of Gold Roger! Holy shit what have they gotten themselves into?! This is going to get them killed! They need to run and leave, now! "Leave now before I kill you all!" he didn't need to repeat or say it again as the Marines high-tailed it out of there.
Jozu ran over with Melody, West come over hugging Melody quickly. Asking her if she was okay and all she did was ignore him to help Colin who had a bleeding forehead. What? She was nurse and doctor in training, she can worry about West later. Right now, Colin needed his forehead cleaned a bandage put on there… but what the hell what to get and give Colin a bleeding forehead anyway?
"We meet again Miss Aschgate," Pops smiled at Naomi who was kind of speechless as she looked up at the man. They could see it written on her face. Damn he's huge. Whitebeard and the others were used to that.
"Your Edward Newgate?" Naomi slowly said, like holy mother of all things sane and good that man was FREAKING huge. And Naomi had thought that Roger was tall! He has nothing in height compared to Whitebeard. Then she looked at Marco who was still on top of her, which she kind of like but she kind wanted to get the sea-stone chains off too, so he kind of needed to get off her. "You can get off me now you know."
Some of the others whistled, laughed and were teasing Marco while Whitebeard just laughed it off and Marco quickly got off Naomi and apologised, again.
Naomi got the sea-stone off herself without any problems now that the lock was gone. Once Melody was done with Col and his bleeding forehead, which he was refusing to say how he got, Melody hugged and kind of went first into Naomi's boobs which made a lot of the guys whistle again. they thought it was 'hot'.
"Naomi! I'm glad you're okay!" Melody smiled as she hugged the older teen.
"Me too Melody," Naomi smiled then glared at the guys who all went silent under Naomi's glare. Like damn fuck she was scary. "I'm glad you're okay too."
Marco was impressed, he needs to learn to glare as good as that.
"Pops!" Melody smiled as she dragged Naomi to him. "This is Naomi! The one who broke Marco's nose!"
Marco groaned as he face palmed himself. he never should have told Melody about how he got his broken nose or who the person was. And Pops already that Naomi was the one who broke his nose! He was there when it happened! And all he did was laugh about it and say that he liked Naomi and wants her to join the crew! Other than that, he did nothing about it!
"That girl seriously broke Marco's nose?" one of the crew said.
Naomi twitched and death glare the man who pissed himself and everyone around him ran away from him as quickly as they could, not wanting to be in the way. "What was that?"
Marco sighed, he was going to have to step him, wasn't he? Great. Please, please, please, for the love of all things sand and good! Do not punch him again!
"Miss Aschgate," Marco started which made her look at him and he flinched. Shit, she was going to punch him. Wasn't she?
"Naomi," she told him in a serious voice.
"Miss Naomi…" Marco tried to start again only to stop as she took a step towards him. Marco couldn't help but gulp and close his eyes, as he expected her to punch him again.
"Naomi!" she said in a more childish voice.
What…?
Marco opened up his eyes to see Naomi in front of him with her cheeks puffed like a child when angry. Her arms were cross as well as she just stared him in the eyes. Acting a little childish and Marco wasn't sure what to make of it. she was trying to kill him or trying to break his nose again… she… she looked a like mad and annoyed child right now… what…?
"N-a-o-m-i," she repeated. "No Miss or anything. Just call me Naomi."
What…?
"Right…" Marco nodded. "Okay, sorry. Naomi…" Marco wasn't going to die or get a broken bone then?
Naomi smiled again and Marco was still unsure what to make of it. what was going on right now?
"He has a bleeding forehead because called me a girl and I head-butted him," Naomi told Melody as everything was perfectly fine and normal. Which is was NOT! What the hell is going on right now!? Marco thought she was going to try to kill him again or something!
"HAHAHAHAHAHA!" Melody laughed. She couldn't help it- first Naomi broke Marco's nose by punching him then she gave Colin a bleeding forehead by headbutting him. It was just too funny to Melody.
Naomi looked back at Marco again and sighed. Oh god… what now?
"Look," Naomi said facing Marco and looking away from him, blushing slightly. Naomi was blushing? Why the hell was she blushing?! This makes no sense to Marco right now what so ever!
Naomi promised and agreed with herself if Marco saved her (aka if a certain cute blonde with phoenix powers saved her), that she would shallow her pride and apologise. She might as well get this over and done with. "I guess… I guess I owe you a thank you and an apologise." Naomi told Marco.
What…? Just… what?
"Thank you for helping me and for saving me," Naomi said. Was this for this real? Or was Marco imaging it? "And… I'm sorry I overreacted to you trying to save me six months ago and breaking your nose. I just don't like people stealing my fights." Was this for real…? "But don't do it again and I will just break your nose again and I won't be apologising!"
Whitebeard couldn't help but laugh at the whole thing. Naomi thanked Marco for saving her this time, she had thanked and apologised to Marco for saving her six month ago and apologised for breaking his nose, then threated to do it if Marco go into a middle one of her fights again and said she wasn't going to apologising. Whitebeard loved this girl! She was perfect! She would fit into his crew perfectly!
"Now Whitebeard-san," Naomi smiled as she faced him- acting a little girly and all innocent, everything that this girl is not. Which only it even more funny to him. "Can I ask you a question?"
"Go ahead brat," he smiled.
Brat? Brat! Brat!? Naomi could hear the humour behind the word, so he wasn't trying to be disrespectful. She thinks… But it's not like he was trying to be respectful either… Naomi wasn't sure what to make of that word or this man… other than one thing… she kind of liked him, and the word. She way preferred to be called brat then girl.
"I heard and now have seen that you are a devil fruit eater," Naomi slowly said as she seemed to be making up her mind on either to attack the old man or not. She decided not to. Only because he hadn't called her girl but brat instead. but she was still trying to work out if he was really being disrespectful or not when he had called her it. "And I'm devil fruit researcher… do you mind if I hang out with you guys for a bit to research your fruit and powers? And anyone else in the crew who is a devil fruit eater?" like a cute blonde called Marco.
"Like Marco, Jozu and myself?" Whitebeard smiled. "I see no problems with that, as long as you don't share your findings with anyone you shouldn't and as long as you don't mind sharing your results and information with us."
"I would never share my information with anyone but my family," Naomi told Whitebeard. "I am happy to talk to each of my research subjects about their results, but no-one else. For example, I will not share Marco's findings and results with you and vice-versa. The only people beside myself who will see this information as a whole with be my family. Mostly my brothers Nix and Nic… scratch that, mostly one of them my brothers, my younger brother Nic. The other brother, my older brother Nix, is doing his own research elsewhere with a different research and subject group. As long as you understand that and that I will not share any other information I have collected on devil fruits and/or their eaters. I think we will work and get along perfectly just fine."
"Of course," Whitebeard nodded. "You are perfectly fine to travel and stay with us. Melody? Why don't you and Jozu help Naomi move her ship and things to the ship? And Melody, why do you find Naomi a bed with the nurses as well please?"
"Oh wow no," Naomi said looking at Whitebeard. "I need an actual room to be able to put my things in and to keep my research notes in. you know, one with a lock so I can make sure that people don't try to look at my notes." Not like they would be able to the reads anyway… "And don't ask me to trust you, I don't trust anyone. Especially Pirates, no offence meant. I have had people betray and lie to me too many times to just trust you or anyone just like that. And I have to have the room to myself too."
Marco was thinking over what room that they could put Naomi in that had a lock that she would have to herself, but there weren't really any rooms…
"Give me fifteen minutes and I'll fine Naomi a room," Marco told Pops as took off running to the ship. He was sure there was a spare room on the ship somewhere with a lock where she could be by herself and have it to herself.
"Okay then, while Marco looks for a room for Naomi," Whitebeard smiled then noticed that Naomi seemed to be disappointed for some reason. But why? Whitebeard watched Naomi as she watched Marco run off to the ship. Was that it? was she disappointed to see Marco to leave? "Melody, Jozu and Colin can help Naomi move her things and bring her ship to ours. I'm sure we can find a place for it."
"Come on Naomi!" Melody smiled as she took Naomi's hand and dragged her. "Let's go! It will be so good to have another girl on the ship! And one who isn't a nurse! Maybe you can show me how to fight!"
Naomi smiled and laughed a little at how happy Melody was about having her stay with them. "Sure," Naomi smiled.
"She knows how to fight?" someone commented and that earned them a place with their back on the ground with Namoi right above them with her fist right in their face.
"Yes, she knows how to 'fight'," Naomi told the guy who was shitting himself. "Wanna go?!"
"No…" he squeaked.
"I bet you're a better fighter than most of the guys in the crew," Jozu said to Naomi. Not trying to butter her up or anything, just making a statement of fact from what he has heard about her and was judging by what had just seen with her. Plus, she seemed very fit and was very nimble, flexible and fast. There was no way she wasn't a good fighter. Nothing about this chick said 'damsel' to Jozu. In fact, it more said warrior to him.
"Thanks," Naomi smiled as he got off the terrified man. "But if that's true, your crew in a world of trouble if one little girl can kick most of their asses."
"I wouldn't call you a little girl," Jozu commented. "More like a female warrior." Thinking that saying warrior princess might not end well for him.
Half of the crew expected Naomi to try and hit or punch or break something of Jozu's for calling her girl but she just shrugged it off and did nothing… wait what?
"What? Like a warrior princess or someone from Amazon Lily?" Naomi laughed and waved it off. "Nope. I'm just your normal, typical and everyday devil fruit researcher."
There was nothing normal, typical or everyday about Naomi- devil researcher or not.
"She's normal?"
"She's typical?"
"She's everyday?"
"She does know she's the ONLY devil fruit researcher we're met, right?"
"She knows she's the only devil fruit researcher we're ever heard of, right?"
Naomi's eye twitched in annoyance as she death glared the guys talking who were making the comments and they were all cowering and hiding Pops. Damn she was one scary person!
"Why didn't you hurt Jozu for calling you girl!?" Colin shouted at Naomi. Not understanding why she had head-butted him for calling it but did nothing to Jozu. Sure, the guy was kind of big and shit, but Colin had a feeling that wouldn't have stopped Naomi. So why didn't she try to hurt him!? Just because he's a devil fruit eater!?
Naomi grabbed his shirt and pulled him a little to be at her eye sight. "Listen here Minster 'I am just taller than you'." Was she seriously calling Colin that? "Shut up before I head-butt you again. When he said it he wasn't being disrespectful. When you said it, you were. So any more stupid questions?"
What…?
"There's a difference?" Colin had dumbly commented and said. Of course he said what he was thinking out loud, of FUCKING course he did!
"Yes of course," Naomi said, almost spitting in his face. "Anything else?"
"No…" Colin shook.
"Good," Naomi said as she let go of him. "Now, where we were?" talking to Jozu and Melody again like that never happened.
Terrifying, that's the only word that Colin can think of when thinking of Naomi or describing her. The fucking chick was fucking insane and fucking terrifying! And Pops wants her to sail with them!? is he fucking insane!? She'll kill everyone before the week is up!
"Pops, please tell me your kidding about her travelling with us," Colin pretty much begged. He wasn't going to survive with her travelling with them!
"Of course, son," Whitebeard said. "I don't want to her to travel with us."
Oh fucking thank god!
"I want her to join us," Whitebeard smiled.
NNNNNNNOOOOOOOO! Colin and everyone else was going to die! It was official, Whitebeard was trying to kill his crew. Why!?
"Now go help them with Naomi's things Colin," Whitebeard told him.
Colin hated his life. He hated his captain. He hated Melody who has pretty much become Naomi's best friend. He hated Marco. He hated Jozu. He hated the crew for not speaking up and not protesting to Pops and just accepting to have Naomi travel with them, though Colin and them all knew that there was no point in trying to change Pops' mind. Once it was made up, it was made up and nothing anyone said or did could get him to change it.
"Hey Melody?" Naomi smiled. "Can we go shopping before we leave?"
"Sure, why?" Melody nodded with a smile.
Naomi smirking herself as she looked over to the Whitebeard ship and could see Marco moving around. What? Naomi has good sight and she needs it in her job.
"I want some different and new clothes," Naomi smiled to herself. She didn't have to explain herself to anyone. "Something in a different colour."
"Really?" Melody smiled and asked. "What? Like in pink or red or yellow or something?"
"I was more thinking something in purple." Naomi smiled as Jozu just raised his eye-brows up at Naomi. Something in purple? Really now? And why was that?
"Why purple?" Melody asked confused.
"It's my new favourite colour," Naomi answered and that was all she was going to say on the topic. She was totally not going to say it was because she was liked Marco and she wanted to get his attention and she was going to break like, the number one as a researcher- which is, don't sleep with your research subjects. But Naomi can't help, she has never liked anyone as much as she liked Marco before. So to Naomi, Marco was worth breaking that rule with and for. The other researchers and her brothers and cousins will probably be pissed and might kill her over it, but it was so going to be worth. Naomi just knows it.
To Naomi, Marco was just so worth it. Even if it seems she has to or might have to give her up official status as a researcher because of it. It doesn't mean she can't do the research or be a researcher unofficially. It just might mean that instead of her name being on research notes, that she is just as a resource. Naomi doesn't know how or why she knows this relationship is going to be worth it, but she just does. She knows that Marco is going to be, no that Marco will be worth it. but… whether he agrees with it or not, is completely a different matter.
There was no way she was going to admit out loud right now that she liked Marco, like, a fucking lot. God damn the cute fucking blonde! What was he doing to her!? And they aren't even together or sleeping together! Yet, they weren't yet. But if Naomi has it her way. They will be together or at least they will sleep together!
"You sure there's no another reason?" Jozu asked realising what was going on. Naomi was crushing on Marco, wasn't she?
Naomi had a crush, a fucking big one, on Marco. And guess what? Marco just happens to have a crush, a fucking big one, on her right back. So that means that they can be and get together, right?
"What?" Melody asked not sure why Jozu said and asked that.
"Do I need another reason why?" Naomi asked Jozu as if she was daring him to say something. But was also giving him the warning look of- say something else and just see what happens. I'll broke you. I dare you to over-step the mark.
"No, of course not," Jozu said. "What was I thinking?"
Melody looked between Jozu and Naomi, what the hell was going on here? Was Jozu trying to say that Naomi liked Marco? And if that's true, well, Marco likes Naomi so… that means they can be together and end up together, right?
anyway, i hope you all liked the chapter! the next omake chapter is Marco's birthday! and, i kind of had an ideas for a new storya nd wanted your what you thought of it. i love the idea in all honesty and right now since i am having trouble with writing WTA chapters and thinking of doing it. it's a very interesting idea. anyway, the idea is pretty much an AU. about what if there is a fifth Yonko and nine warlords and other surprises. it could and would make the world of one piece more interesting i think. i mean 5 instead 4 Yonkos? it would make things interesting right? and am the only one that noticed that there is pretty much 2 War Lords to 1 Emperor? well, close enough to it anyway. that way i said and made it 5 Emperors and 9 Warlords. there seems to 1 less than double.
anyway, i think it would make things interesting- especially when it changes a lot of people's destinies/futures. i will share more on the idea once i have it worked out. i have roughly 50%? give or take- of it worked it, once i have it close to 100% worked out and have written at least three chapters, i might share it so you guys can have a look.
anyway, before Macey complains! lets do the thingy!
Marco: 58 favs
Naomi: 77 followers
Whitebeard: 117 reviews
anyway, till next chapter my friends and fans!
