and we are back with another omake chapter. sorry this didn't come out sooner guys. I've been and am sick at the moment so everything is working much slowly with my body. plus, since it was my birthday last week, i got busy and distracted doing things with the family.
Naomi: on with the reviews!
Marco: here are the reviews.
Naomi and Marco are taking over... i don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing. anyway, just before we start the reviews! thanks for the birthday wishes everyone! and sorry that this chapter is a little. i got busy and distracted. and got the chapter beta'd too. thanks gerbilfriend for betaing this chapter! anyway, on with the reviews! and P.S. i did have a great day. the only thing that could have made it better was if my grandfather wasn't in Sydney for a school reunion and if my grandmother and great grandmother were alive. and if i wasn't sick and still wasn't sick with a damn stupid cold that feels like it is killing me. it is so hard to concentrate when your head feels like it is going to blow up or has a million jackhammers trying to destroy it.
Naomi: or that you are being stabbing with a millions of knives in the head and so on and so on. we get it kerennie. just on with the reviews.
meanies *sulking in corner* fine! on with the reviews!
Anonymous-
thanks for the birthday wishes. yes, an update. your welcome. thank for the pats on the back, it's really reassuring. i will keep up the good work as bestly as i can!
Marco: bestly isn't word.
shut up! i said it anyway! thank you! i don't support my characters abusing me either. nor does AceAyane who has been abused by her characters and mine before. Ayane (aka AceAyane)'s characters have also abused me as well. i don't seem to be safe anywhere. only Jack and Blue seem to be protect me from being abused! *looks around for them* and neither of them seem to be here today. damn it.
Marco: it funny when we abuse kerennie, isn't it?
Naomi: i guess so.
*me depressed in corner*
Naomi: anyway, none of us like the marines spouting lies! BLACK is adorable as hell. that is the end of the discussion.
Marco: i think a lot of people support BLACK. i wish i had some kind of teleporting device so i could just teleport to Macey as well. it would be very convenient. it would make my life so much easier and stress free.
West: so would just making Macey and her crew come join us.
Naomi: my daughter is a free spirit. you can't just cage her!
Marco: don't worry Naomi. we won't. i'm sure you would come and haunt us to our graves if we ever tried or did that kind of thing.
Whitebeard: and as Marco has said before. i don't think that would protect Macey at all. it would only put her in more danger.
Naomi: damn straight!
anyway. yes. you got a high five from Ace. i am an Ace fan too. and i love Sabo and Luffy too. the three of them are just the best. yes Marco, as a guy you shouldn't make girls cry. i think that was everyone's first thought when Marco said those things.
Marco: i'm sorry okay?! i didn't mean too!
yeah, Naomi forcing Marco out wasn't the exactly the world's greatest idea he was stressed and just wanted to get his paperwork done and he did say those things without thinking. he still probably shouldn't said those things, and he shouldn't have made Naomi cry. he looks fully like the bad guy for doing it. and yeah, he shouldn't have add poor Jozu into that at all since Naomi and Jozu are friends. yes, Marco is the First Mate.
Marco: i said i was sorry! can we just stop it and drop it?!
hey, at least you and Naomi made up. right Marco? *grinning at him* i bet you two had fun with that, right?
Marco *blushing*: shut up!
Naomi: it was very enjoyable. i believe we will be doing it again more often
Marco *blushing like mad and now speechless with me laughing in the ground for a few moments*
yes *getting serious and getting back into author/review mode* Naomi is the reason (at least for my FFP story anyway) for Marco saying and using yoi. yes, the guys are pretty much scared of Naomi. yes, Whitebeard pretty much gave Marco his birthday gift. Naomi's friendship with the Whitebeard Pirates is so cute and nice. i almost don't want her to die at all.
Naomi: just almost?
well, its already been written in. so yeah. your gonna die. sorry Naomi.
Naomi *shrugs shoulders*: all good.
if people like. i can write an omake chapter or two or can do something where Naomi stays instead of leaves. it would make everything a hell of a lot different and interesting to say the least.
Naomi: i like the idea.
Marco: me too.
Whitebeard: me three.
well if the fans like the idea. i will think about and maybe write something then. but only if the fans want to see/read it. anyway, i think a lot of people aren't looking forward to Naomi's death. don't worry. i will give warning the chapter or two before hand that way people can get anything they need to help comfort them through the chapter. and it wasn't a marine guy that it did. we all remember CP guy that killed Professor Clove with Robin's backstory and stuff? yeah, well, spoiler alert. it was him and he dies too. yay for him dying! boo for Naomi dying! anyway, here's the update. thank you for loving my stories and hopefully the next update won't be too far away.
Naomi: next review guys!
Himeka-
thanks for the birthday wishes! everyone behaviour the best they could for my birthday. no-one ended up hitting me.
Naomi: of course we all have strong personalities. we need them to survive this world! and yes, Macey and Sabo are so adorable together! aren't they?
Marco: no. they are not. and they are too young to worry about that kind of thing!
Naomi: oh someone is being a grumpy bird *hugging and giving Marco a kiss* they remind me of us.
Marco *looks at Naomi funny*: we met we were 17 and 19. not 10 and 12.
Naomi: true, but the two year age gap reminds me of us *smiles and shrugs her shoulders* i wonder when Sabo will realise the feelings he has for Macey is love and i wonder how Macey will react about it? i wonder if she will feel the same or not?
Marco: they're too young!
anyway, let's change subjects!
West: good idea. yeah... i think i was the kitchen the whole time during that whole thing. and yeah well, Macey is a lot like Naomi. Naomi did like us getting in the middle of her fights, so i'm not dumb to do that with Macey. i'm sure Macey would break something like Naomi use to when we got in the middle one of her fights.
yeah... i can't remember if West was sleeping or in the kitchen at the time but pretty much what West said. and yes, Macey was thinking of food the entire time Sabo started talking. she was listening to him, she was just hungry. and as Macey said, at the end of the chapter. she always saw Ace, Luffy and Sabo as Freedom Fighters, at least they are official Captains of their own crews anyway. they are her family anyway, whether they like it or not as well.
did Marco really think that Naomi didn't like him in a romantic way? *looks at Marco*
Marco *looks away and blushes*: maybe...
Whitebeard: is amazing that we all could that they liked each other but they weren't able to tell that the other liked them and has the same feelings for them as they do for them.
Naomi *shrugs shoulders*: guess so. anyway, thanks! we are cute aren't we? *covers Marco's mouth so he can't deny it* and yes, i think a few people were turning into tomatoes just reading the end of it.
why wouldn't Marco enjoy the talk with Whitebeard about it? well, i think Marco is worried abuot things that he really shouldn't need to worry about it and is just being a worrywart. i agree, the whole crew and Whitebeard would be cheering and saying FINALLY! if they said anything to them about it. anyway, here is the update!
Marco: next review! right now! *wanting to change the subject*
okay, okay. here is the next review!
Hikahika-
thanks you for the birthday wishes. i did have a great birthday last week. yes, hurray for Sabo! he finally joins!
Naomi: about damn time if you ask me.
Marco: no-one did.
yes, it was probably the most hilarious reaction ever seen by people. yes, the only other person to react like that would be Luffy, where his stomach is concerned. for Macey, she literally just wake up and was hungry. so... her first thought was on breakfast.
Naomi: my daughter better be on your adorable list!
West: ... that sounded like something Marco would yell/say to someone...
Jozu: it does, doesn't it?
Marco: are all Aschgate scary when they are angry?
Naomi: pretty much, yeah.
West: oh dear god. are we going to survive Naomi's brothers visiting us then?
only god knows *gets lots of glares and looks* what?
Naomi: that's right! you better call me lady!
moving on. yes, Marco shouldn't be making people cry, cause it is mean.
Marco: it's not my fault!
Naomi and me: yes it is.
Jozu: we do get along. just when Naomi gets mad, she doesn't discriminate who she is mad at and so she takes it out on pretty much around her. though, Marco is a good human shield since Naomi calms down quicker with him around. when he isn't the one making her angry at least.
Marco: hey!
West: it's true though.
very true. anyway, yeah. even if she did sorta drag Marco he shouldn't have said such cruel things to her. especially since Naomi does care, a lot. she kind of wears her heart on her sleeve. so she easily gets hurt and takes offence to things when she doesn't know the people that well. or when told something from someone she does like and care about, like Marco, she takes it to heart. that's why she was mad at Jozu and Pops and the others too. since if Marco thought and says those things to her, then the others thought and feel it right?
Whitebeard: even though it was just Marco overreacting.
yeah. he overreacted in a very bad way.
Marco: i'm sorry okay?! i didn't actually mean anything i said to Naomi and i apologised to her and we made up?! okay?! everything is fine now!
oh yeah, you make up alright
Marco: kerennie!
okay. okay. moving on. Marco does need cake. doesn't he? yes, i had cake for a birthday too! dessert distressing! always good for oneself. yes, yoi. this is where and why he gets the habit. thank Naomi for it guys! well, at least this is my reasoning for him saying it at least anyway.
Naomi: there once i think, in the first or maybe in the second omake where Marco says yoi. but other than that, yes. he hasn't really said yoi in the omakes.
Marco: i also haven't really said it during the main FFP storyline either.
um... that's me forgetting there. my bad. i think i need to go add it at some point or another *shrugs* not like it matters too much as long i remember to add it now. and don't worry, none of my characters hurt me on my birthday, though, Macey was very happy to make up for it the next day *rubbing arm* anyway. here is the next update!
Naomi: next review time!
Shirayuji-
Marco: don't worry. i think a few people didn't notice there were updates. especially when one of the chapters went up but then didn't update and say that it was up or whatever the hell happened.
Naomi: yeah, that was kind of weird. wasn't it?
yes. my birthday has come and gone! thank you for the birthday wishes and for saying happy birthday!
Jozu: yes, Marco made Naomi cry. Marco is heartless, isn't he?
Marco *blushing*: shut up! it was an accident!
yes, Jozu and Whitebeard do get along with Naomi. it's just, well, for Naomi at the time... *gets mouth covered by Naomi*
Naomi: i will answer this is. i do get along with Pops and Jozu but at the time, well, my heart was kind of broken and since Marco is the First Mate. i thought that maybe, well, kind of speaking on behalf of the crew. so i kind of took out my angry on Jozu and Pops without meaning too. it was kind of accident. Sorry Jozu and Pops.
Whitebeard: it's alright my dear. all is forgiven.
Jozu: it was all Marco's fault. so no harm no foul. like Pops said, all if forgiven.
*me thinking*- it wasn't just Marco's fault...
Naomi *smiling*: thanks guys!
*sighs and removes Naomi's hands from mouth* whatever. but yes, poor Naomi then turned into Lucky Naomi. didn't it? they did make up and yes, they did make up in an not so innocent way.
Naomi: what?! gods, no! i'm not going anywhere any time soon. i spend something like 6 years? 7 years? or maybe 8 years or something like that with the Whitebeards before i leave them and end having Macey. so it's still a little while yet.
yeah, Izou and Thatch still need to appear guys. Naomi isn't leaving the Whitebeard for a little bit yet. we won't go over single day or every single year or anything like that. but we will go over some important times and stuff.
Naomi: i don't know if i am meant to take that as a compliment or insult.
compliment Naomi. it's a compliment.
Marco: yeah, if the marines think i am going of let them lay a single finger on Naomi...
i think we are seeing the start of GBFBD mode right now... bahahahahaha! *rolling and laughing*
Naomi: but yes, the omakes will becoming to end, i think there is roughly eight? or nine or ten planned?
of the Naomi and Marco stuff. yeah, i think i have ten roughly planned, with ten being the one where Naomi dies and stuff. but if could end up as being more or less. nothing is set in stone yet. just me trying to do rough outlines. but there will be other omakes/side-stories. just not of Naomi and Marco like this lot is. there will be some omakes of some new character's past and maybe even how they join the crews. meaning the Spades, Straw-Hats and Freedom Fighters of course.
Naomi: don't worry. i will make sure that kerennie gives warning about the end of the omakes and my death that way people can grab ice-cream or yoghurt or chocolate or whatever they need to eat to help with the whole situation.
maybe if people are lucky there might be an ghost omake where we will have Roger, Rouge and Naomi randomly appear and talk about how proud they are of their kids or something. who knows.
Naomi: aren't you planning on... *covers Naomi's mouth*
nothing is set in stone. so don't day a thing about that please Naomi.
Naomi *nods head and sighs*: okay, okay. i won't say a thing.
anyway, does cheesecake count as ice-cream cake? cause we had cheesecake for my birthday. i love cheesecake.
Marco: okay. next review.
that's all the reviews.
Marco: oh, it was short this time.
seems so. anyway, this chapter has been beta'd and edited by myself and the lovely gerbilfriend. it is also only the first part of the visit with Naomi's brothers. there is a part 2 but still working out if there will more than two parts or not. anyway, i hope you enjoy the chapter!
Freedom Fighter Pirate Omake
Chapter 5: Naomi and Marco- Brothers' Visits Part 1
2 years later... Marco- 20, Naomi- 22
"What do you mean you're coming here!?" everyone heard Naomi shout suddenly and they looked towards communication room where they all knew that Naomi was. She has taken or made a personal call of some kind. "No! No! Just no! Aschgate D. Skai Nicholas you are not to come here! I don't care what Nix said! He IS NOT bringing you here… shut up! I never said that to him! Oh, my god I am going to kill Nix! …. Oh no, if Nix wants to get you involved Nic then I am calling and getting him involved with our talk right now."
Jozu looked at Pops with eyebrow raised. What the hell was going on? Jozu didn't think he had Naomi do that much yelling at someone in a while now. Mostly since she joined the crew and started doing research on his, Pops' and Marco's devil fruits.
Jozu, Kingdew, Vista and some others were with Pops. They were meant to having a meeting about finding a new head chef but Naomi's yelling was kind of distracting.
"Don't look at me son," Pops told his son. Whitebeard had no idea what was going on- he recognised the names Nic and Nix and knew that they were important to Naomi. They were… they were Naomi's brothers if Whitebeard remembers correctly, an older brother and a younger brother. "I have no idea what's going on."
"Should we go ask?" Kingdew asked- not wanting to be the one who did but thought that maybe they should ask Naomi what was going on.
Though, it might not be safe to do that right now he thought… Naomi kind of sounded mad and when she was mad, it didn't end well if she ended up directing that at you.
"I think that is a good idea," Whitebeard nodded in agreement. What was making his… temporary? Yeah, let's go with that, what is temporary daughter so upset? Though, Whitebeard would love to and wants to try to make it permanent daughter, though, daughter-in-law would be more correct than daughter.
"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN YOUR GOING TO BE HERE THIS AFTERNOON!? HE ALREADY GOT YOU?!" they all heard Naomi yelled out, sounding, well, pissed. "GET NIX ON THE SNAIL RIGHT NOW!"
And Naomi was pissed. That was never a good sign. There was only one thing and one person who could talk and be with Naomi when she was like this. Though the two of them have feelings for each other but neither of them won't confirm or deny that they are together as a couple. But the Whitebeards would all bet that they were. How could they not be together? They were now sharing a room as well- Naomi moving into Marco's room to her protect 'study' and 'research' and so that she was closer to Marco so she could 'study' his devil fruit more.
Study Marco's devil fruit the commanders' asses. They were sleeping together. Everyone knew it, so why were the two of them denying it?
"I'll go get Marco," Jozu commented- not wanting to go into communication nor wanting to send anyone else in there with a pissed off sounding Naomi. It never ended well for whoever was involved and it could get anyone, who wasn't Marco, killed. After all, he was a phoenix and it was hard to kill him. If Naomi ends up hurting him, it would heal but if it's anyone else, it would take a long time to heal.
Plus, since Marco and Naomi were denying that they were together as a couple (which all of the Whitebeard Pirates know they were) but whenever Naomi was upset or mad, they sent in Marco and he managed to calm her right now. So, how weren't they together? Weren't lovers good at calming each other or the other down?
Well, Pops knew for a fact that Marco and Naomi were together as a couple, the two of them told him. Saying that he was only one who really needed to know and they didn't want to tell the others. So, they asked him to keep it a secret from the rest of the crew, especially Melody, which somehow, Whitebeard has managed to do. Though, it wouldn't surprise him if Melody knew. Naomi and Mel don't have many secrets between them since they had become best friends and pretty much knew the other like the back of their own hand.
"That sounds like a good idea," Pops agreed. Even Whitebeard would rather avoid Naomi when she was in a pissed off mood.
"NO NIC! PUT NIX ON RIGHT NOW!"
Whatever the hell was going on… it was not going to end well for anyone involved… they needed Marco and they needed him right now.
Marco sighed as he stretched at his desk. He was almost finished the paperwork. Naomi's ideas to help with splitting the crew into divisions were great. It worked, well; at least Marco and Whitebeard both thought it would work. Marco has spent the past two years working out details and they have been doing a trial of the idea. And so far, it has worked.
Marco was the First Division Commander. West and Naomi were the temporary doing the Second Division Commanders together. Jozu was the Third Division Commander. Melody was the Temporary Fourth Division Commander. Vista was the Fifth Division Commander. With Kingdew and some of the others helping out where and when needed.
The Division Commanders and their numbers might have to change but how it is like for now, Marco knew it was good and fine.
Marco and the others wanted Naomi to take on the role of Second Division Commander but as she liked to remind them, she was not an official or permanent member of the crew. It was only temporary while she was doing her research.
Marco and the others all want Naomi to stay, but at the same time. It's not Marco wanted to force Naomi to stay. If Naomi wanted to leave, Marco wouldn't stop her. It would be the same like her trying to convince him to go with her. Naomi said she wouldn't force or make Marco go with her when (if) she leaves. So why would he force or make her stay? That wouldn't be fair or right.
Besides, isn't the saying, if you love someone you should set them free? Or something like that anyway.
Someone knocked on the door and Marco sighed. He only needs two minutes to finish this paperwork, this better be important. Couldn't whomever this was, for whatever reason they are here. Couldn't they and it wait just a few more minutes?
Knock, knock, knock. The person went again.
Apparently not. Marco sighed and then yelled over his shoulder. "Come in-yoi! The door's open!" Marco sighed as he kept working on the report. He just wanted to finish this, it would be the last report for a few days, hopefully. So, then Marco could maybe then spend some time with Naomi. Only if she wasn't too busy with her research. Hopefully she won't be.
"Marco?" Jozu said standing in the doorway. "Something is going on in the communication room where Naomi is. She sounds… well, pissed doesn't even begin to cover it."
Marco sighed again. He should have known that this had something to do with Naomi. The main reason that people interrupted him is when it has something to do with Naomi. Why was Naomi pissed off this time? Wait… communication room…? Why was Naomi in the communication room and why was she pissed off?
"And why is Naomi 'pissed doesn't even begin to cover it' this time-yoi?" Marco asked as he was still finishing the report. He just wanted to finish this report.
"The names Nic and Nix were said a few times," Jozu answered with a sigh. "Then she was yelling something about afternoon and here. You're better off asking and speaking to Naomi herself about it. And please do it before someone else is dumb too."
Marco sighed again as looked back at the report then at Jozu. "Tell everyone to avoid Naomi if I am not out there by the time she has finished her chat. It should only take a few more minutes to finish this report. It's the last one. I swear- yoi."
Jozu nodded his head. "Of course. I will let everyone know."
"Thank you-yoi," Marco nodded. "Hopefully I will be finished before Naomi is."
Five minutes later…
The Whitebeards were doing their best to stay away from the communication rooms. Naomi was still in there, still yelling at her two brothers and it was getting closer to noon. So if Naomi's brothers were coming, which they might be by the sounds of this yelling and pissed off sounding Naomi, it will and should be interesting to say the least.
What would the two brothers look like? Do they look like Naomi or do they look different? Are they tall like Naomi? Do they share any personality tacts with Naomi? How alike or how unalike are the brothers to their sister?
"Is Naomi still in the communication room-yoi?" Marco asked looking around with for Naomi. Then heard her yelling in the communication room. Okay, that answered that. "Never mind. Pops? What is going on-yoi?"
"Do not know son," Whitebeard answered with a slight sigh. "At least, not the whole story. Only know what I have over heard young Naomi shouting. Something about her brothers. They're in trouble, with her and they're in a lot of trouble by the sounds of it. They are apparently going to be here this afternoon. Sometime after lunch or maybe by lunch time."
The all heard Naomi hang up, very loudly. Marco is pretty sure that the table in the communication room is broken from the sheer force of the receiver being slammed down like that. God damn, Marco can already sense that Naomi is in a bad mood. His phoenix was kind of, well, scared because of it.
Damn it. This was most likely not going to end well if Marco and the others don't handle this correctly, it would be another incident Marco realised.
"Naomi? What's wrong-yoi?" Marco asked as she slammed the door closed and was walking over to the left side of the ship. Marco did not want to get hit again, but he would if it meant to get Naomi out of this bad mood.
"My brothers are idiotic assholes," Naomi answered as she lightly growled about it. "And I am going to kill them."
"No, you won't-yoi," Marco told Naomi. He knew her better than she knew herself sometime. "Your just mad that they wanted to surprise you and you don't really like surprises. That is all-yoi. You will be happy and excited once you see them."
Naomi went to say something then sighed as she realised that Marco was right. Naomi has been known to change personalities like the wind changes directions. The Whitebeards were used to it, especially Marco who was used to being on the receiving end of the punches or kicks when Naomi ended up losing her temper. Normally protecting the idiot was who upset Naomi at the time.
"Gurarara," Whitebeard laughed as he watched Naomi and Marco. Marco was the only one who seemed to be able to calm Naomi down. "Well aren't you two cute."
Marco blushed and Naomi laughed it off.
"Thanks Pops!" Naomi laughed. "But it's not like we're together."
"Then why is it that Marco is the only one who can calm you down?" Fossa asked.
Naomi shrugged her shoulders. "Because he is calm and it's easier to be calm when the other person is? Plus, Marco isn't scared of me."
That was a flat-out lie. What the hell was Naomi talking about? Marco loved Naomi and he wasn't terrified of her, yes, but he was definitely scared of her. Just because he doesn't like to show it, doesn't mean that he isn't. Marco mostly liked to look to tough since he is the First Mate and needed the respect of the crew. Which Marco has without a doubt since he is the only one who doesn't 'seem' afraid of Naomi when she was mad. Besides her mercurial temperament meant that she was never actually aiming to kill.
"Makes perfect sense my dear," Whitebeard smiled.
"But Pops," Vista said looking at Whitebeard. "Your calm and she pretty much bites your head off when she's a foul mood. Wouldn't you be able to calm her down since your calm?"
"Whitebeard isn't as cute as Marco," Naomi grinned.
The crew were used to Naomi teasing Marco like this, and they were used to reactions of Marco. Sometimes he had a straight face with a light blush or he could have heavy blushing or he might be not blushing at all. It depends on Marco's mood or what had been said or done. Naomi smiled and wrapped her arms around Marco's shoulder as she grinned.
"No-one is as cute as my Marco," Naomi smiled as she hugged him.
Marco was trying to keep a straight face but Whitebeard and some of the others could see a slight tint of red on his face. That is cute, how they were trying to hide their relationship but were almost open about it at the same time.
"Pops!" Colin shouted from the crow-nest. "There's a ship to the East and it's coming towards us!"
"That must be my brothers," Naomi sighed.
"Pops!" Colin shouted, sounding a little worried. "There seem to be marines on the ship!"
"It is a Marine ship Cole?" Whitebeard shouted back.
"No Pops!" Cole answered as he looked and saw the name of the ship on the side of it. "It says the Rainbow Ryder? What the hell kind of name is that for a ship?"
Naomi laughed as Whitebeard Pirates all looked confused but Marco and Whitebeard himself, plus Melody who just came out from the infirmary.
"Rainbow Ryder?" Melody repeated then looked at Naomi. "Didn't you say that's the name of your older brother's personal ship or something Naomi?"
"Yep!" Naomi nodded. "That's them now."
The Whitebeards all backed away from Naomi, she still seemed to be mad. Just not as mad as she was before.
"Naomi-yoi," Marco said in a stern and strict voice.
"They're still a little bit away though," West told Naomi as he walked past her. "Probably roughly half hour, give or take."
Hopefully Naomi will calm enough by then that she won't want to kill her brothers for trying to surprise her. West smiled lightly at Naomi who just glared at him and it sent shivers down everyone's spines. Or maybe not.
Forty-five minutes later…
Nic sighed as the Rainbow Ryder pulled up to the Moby Dick. Nix had said that out of the two of them that Naomi was less likely to kill Nic since they were so close. Being closer in age, Nic and Naomi only had a three-year age gap verses Nix and Naomi with a ten year gap. Nic looked around for Naomi but could only really see a lot of men.
So, those are the people that Nome has been travelling with? They seem interesting, Nic wonders how many of them there are and which ones are the devil fruit eaters?
"Is Nome here?" Nic asked.
Vista looked at the tall young man- 190 centimetres tall with dirty blonde hair and green-blue eyes. Wearing long black jeans, a black shirt with many different colours in it and on, choral greyish black boots and wearing a dark coloured under long sleeve shirt under his shirt. His light blue jacket was in his room on the Rainbow Ryder.
"Nome? Who's that?" Vista asked- not being sure who Nome is? And who was this guy? "And who the hell are you?"
"Nome!" Nic shouted as he looked around for his older sister. "I'm sorry! Nix and I are sorry we didn't tell you we were coming! We wanted to surprise you! Nome! Naomi!"
Nome? Naomi was Nome?
"Nici!" Naomi shouted as she came out of nowhere and tackled him to the ground. They could all hear the wind leave this Nici person as Naomi pretty much flattened him to the ground, well, into the deck of the ship but that's not the point. The point is, it sounded like it hurt.
Nici…?
They all a loud gulp and could see Naomi holding a dragger to this Nici guy's neck and they weren't sure what they should do right now. Nici just sighed and looked up at Naomi in the face. He didn't seem scared at all, in fact, he seemed annoyed.
"Naomi, really?" Nic sighed as he looked up at his older sister. Was she seriously holding a dragger to her own brother's throat? "Look, I get that your mad and everything. You don't like surprises; I told Nix this was not a good idea. But come on sis, we haven't seen each other for a long while. This is the first time we have met since forever."
"I left when you were 10 and I was 13," Naomi told her brother. "It's been ten years. Not forever, don't get your facts mixed up Nicholas. Now, where is Nicolai?"
"Naomi come on now!" a blondish brown hair man around 180 centimetres tall with green eyes and wearing a white shirt and dark blue jeans sighed. "I know you don't like surprises and all, but holding a dragger to our baby brother's throat? Really?"
"I don't want to hear this from you!" Naomi shouted as she threw the dragger at her other brother and he caught it without a problem, just inches from his face right between his fingers like it was nothing. He looked annoyed more than impressed, as some of the others whistled. They were impressed that the new guy caught that knife with such ease. "Nicolai."
Marco sighed as he grabbed the back of Naomi's shirt and pulled her off her younger brother. "I thought we agreed you would not use your weapons-yoi?"
"I didn't agree to anything," Naomi told Marco as she crossed her arms and looked away from Marco, like a five year throwing a tantrum. "You just made a suggestion."
"I don't know if I should scold you or not," Nix sighed as he looked at Marco funny. Who was this guy and Naomi being nice to him? And since when did she actually listen to anyone? Suggestion or other wises?
"You boys must Naomi's brothers," Whitebeard said. Speaking up for the first time. "Edward Newgate, but most call me the crew call me Pops. You boys must be Nic and Nix, yes? Which is which? If you don't mind me asking?"
"Nici is one giant I was sitting on," Naomi told Pops with a grin. "The idiot who joined the marines is the other one."
"Other one?" Nix said taking great offence to Naomi saying that about her older brother.
"Giant one?!" Nic said as he sat up and pointed at some of the crew. "I am not a giant! They are! Well, they have to be giant or half-giants. There's no way those guys are the humans!"
"Nicholas! Don't be rude!" Naomi said as she managed to get herself out of Marco's hand and pointed her finger in his face. "I'm sorry Pops. Guys. Nici dosen't always think before he speaks."
"Pops?" Nix and Nic said looking at each other than at Naomi then up at Pops aka Whitebeard. What was that about?
"Are they here yet?" Melody asked coming out in her nurse's outfit.
"Damn, that's hot," a whistling voice said and whistled from Nix's ship.
Who the hell said that?!
"Ralph," Nix sighed as he put his hand on his hip, shook his head and then turned round. "Ralph! Laffitte! Come up on decks you brats!"
"Don't call us brats Vice-Captain!" Laffitte complained as Ralph used his devil to the two of them up onto the deck.
"Why hello there my lady," Ralph smirked and bowed to Melody. Then took her hand and gave it a kiss. "What's your name beautiful?"
"Oh my, aren't you a gentleman," Melody laughed lightly.
"Well of course my lady," Ralph smiled to her. "How else should I act around one as beautiful as yourself?"
"I think I am going to be sick," Laffitte said making a fake gag sound.
"Shut it Laff," Ralph told him in a rather annoyed voice.
"It's Laffitte," Laffitte told Ralph a little annoyed that Ralph had called him by his childhood nickname.
"Nix," Naomi said in an annoyed and stern voice. "Who are the kids?"
"Like you can talk," Nix told Naomi. He made a rather good point, the two young men seemed to be in ether their teens or early twenties. so roughly the same age as Naomi, Marco and some of the others. "Your barely an adult little sister."
"Oh, another beautiful lady, how could I miss you?" Ralph smiled as he took Naomi's hand and kissed it. Naomi was not sure what to make of the situation as Marco seemed to a little jealous and torn between ripping the kid's head off or letting Naomi handle it, since Naomi would probably rip Marco's head off if he intervened. "Hello, and what's your name?"
"Ralph, don't hit on my sister!" Nix shouted at the young man.
"Ralph…" Laffitte sighed as he shook his head.
"Zip it Laff," Ralph told Laffitte.
"And how do you two know each other?" Whitebeard asked the two young men. "And who are you two?"
"I'm Ralph and this kid is my cousin Laff, though he prefers his whole name of Laffitte," Ralph answered without a care in the world. "We're Marines under the Vice-Captain's care."
"We're acquaintances," Laffitte answered. "And it's Laffitte, Ralph, not Laff."
What…?
"Their two kids I'm looking after for Garp," Nix sighed and told Naomi. Leaving out the small detail that he was studying their devil fruits since they were both devil fruit eaters. "I dragged them along with me."
"Why?" Marco asked with a sigh. Feeling a headache coming on already.
"No reason, just cause I can," Nix shrugged and gave as his answer. Why was Naomi really expecting any other answer from her brother?
Why does that answer make Marco think of a certain someone? Marco looked at Naomi. Oh right, that's who.
"So Nome," Nic said changing the subject. "Surprise?"
"Don't make me kill you," Naomi told Nic looking rather annoyed. "I hate surprises and you know it, so why the hell did you and Nix rise your lives?"
"What? Can't brothers randomly decide that they want to see their sister, even if it might cost them their lives?" Nix asked Naomi.
"Only if they're idiots," Naomi sighed as she shook her head at the,. "Which, despite the fact I tell you two you are, your both not. So what is this about?"
"I wanted to the meet the phoenix devil fruit eater, not sure about Nix," Nic answered as he gave Naomi a hug who hugged him back. "You know what the devil fruit means to the family. Though, seeing you again is just as good Nome. I missed you."
"Missed you too Nici," Naomi smiled.
"I heard you might have a might a boyfriend, so I wanted to meet the guy and beat him into sub… I mean, I wanted to see you again." Nix laughed. "And like Nic, I am very interested in meeting this phoenix devil fruit user. I mean, you buckling yourself to study a certain devil fruit? Never heard of. So you know…"
"And your still an short ass big brother," Naomi sighed but gave Nix a hug. "Asshole."
"Whatever you say little researcher girl," Nix shrugged.
"Girl?" Naomi said with several veins sticking out. All of the Whitebeards took steps away from Naomi and Nix. One would think that Naomi's older brother Nix would know not to call her girl. Unless… he's the reason she acts and reactions like that whenever people call her girl. "Who are you calling girl you ass?!"
"And Nix is the reason why Naomi hates being girl," Nic told the Whitebeards. "Our big brother might have gone overboard teasing Naomi about being a girl when we were younger and growing up."
That explained so much, the watching crew thought collectively.
Whitebeard could see the similarities and the differences between the three Aschgate D. siblings. They all had familiar shaped faces, the same shaped nose and eyes and the same hair type, though slightly different hair and eye colours. They also seemed to have similar wild and unpredictable yet nice and friendly personalities.
These two young men… well, one young man and a man in his early thirties plus his two apprentices (yes, Whitebeard is going to be calling Ralph and Laffitte Nix's apprentices, because well, they just seemed like it to Whitebeard). They would fit into this crew quite nicely if Whitebeard does say so himself.
"So, Nome?" Nix said getting his sister's attention again, not sure if that was good thing or not yet. "Where's your room so Nici and I can stay in there too."
"What?" Kingdew said without meaning too.
"Nic, Nix and I use to share a room at home when we grew up," Naomi explained quickly. "We lived in a smallish house. There was only one room for us kids to use and share."
"We always share," Nic smiled.
"So it just makes sense that we would be all in the same room again," Nix added.
"We haven't shared a room in almost ten years, aren't we too old for this?" Naomi asked her two brothers.
"No," the two of them answered at the same time.
Naomi sighed as she shook her head at her two brothers. If people thought she was stubborn, they have seen nothing yet. Her two brothers are just as stubborn as she is, if not more so.
"Fine," Naomi told them. "Marco? Show them to our room would ya? I'm going to the gallery to get something to eat."
Our room? Marco? What?
"You know I was joking about the whole boyfriend thing, right?" Nix said to his sister as she was leaving.
"We're not dating," Naomi told Nix. "You wanted to meet the phoenix devil fruit eater, now you have and can. Marco is the phoenix devil fruit eater."
Wait… what…?
"You're not sleeping together, are you? You know the rules Naomi," Nic commented as Naomi just walked off. Naomi said nothing as she kept walking. "Right?! Naomi! Oi! Naomi!" Taking off after his sister to get an answer then whined her name. "Naomi!"
"Is Marco getting cock blocked?" one of the Whitebeards whispered to the other.
"I think so…" the pirate answered this brother.
No-one was sure if this was a good thing or not… wait, no, it wasn't a good thing. Wait, what they are going to do with the other two?
"So, are there are other pretty ladies on this ship?" Ralph asked Melody as she had all of his attention being the only female left now.
"We have a small group of nurses," Melody smiled.
"Lead the way my angel! I would love to meet them all!" Ralph smiled and walked off as Laffitte sighed and looked at Nix who was staring at Marco.
"I'll go keep an eye on him," Laffitte told Nix.
"You go do that Laffitte," Nix nodded but kept his attention on Marco. Once Laffitte had left, Nix spoke to Marco. "So? What are your intensions with my sister? How old are you? Are you younger or older than my sister? Just how tall are you? What are you interested in? You're the phoenix devil fruit eater right?"
Marco sighed as he shook his head. God damn it this is going to be a long visit… wait… how long are Naomi's brothers and co staying with them?
Later…
Whitebeard pretty much laughed as he watched Nix, Naomi's older brother follow Marco around trying to get him to answer every single of his questions. They vary from simple things to more personal things like- just what is your eye colour? From which Blue are you from? What's your family name? Is it possible that we know them? Is my sister your first girlfriend or have you had others? Have you and her been check to make sure that everything is right? You haven't had a kid or anything, right? Do you plan on marrying Naomi? Do you plan on having kids? Are you joining the Aschgate family? Do plan to come with us on Isila? How much or what do you know about our research? And many other and more questions.
Whitebeard found the questioning quite amusing. Nic, the younger brother, just followed Naomi around like a lost little puppy. It was kind of cute watching him following around his sister. Whitebeard could imagine it back when they were younger and it would have been an adorable sight.
Ralph seemed to be hitting on every single of the nurses. Eva didn't seem to mind as long they were still doing their jobs, if they weren't. Well, Ralph got his ear pulled on and the nurse got scolded. While Laffitte just seemed to follow Ralph around, like a big brother followed his little brother around. Not wanting to lose him or lose sight of him, just in case he decided he was going to do something stupid. Though, from what Ralph said earlier, he is supposed to be the older one and Laffitte the younger one. Whitebeard wondered what the actual age difference is between the two and why Ralph called Laffitte his kid cousin while Laffitte just calls him an 'acquaintance'.
Nix sighed as he sat down near Whitebeard, seeming to have given up trying to question Marco. Since the blonde First Mate only answered certain questions and refused to answer other questions or if he did answer, only gave no's or as little information as he could.
"Your shorter than your younger siblings," Whitebeard commented to Nix as he looked up.
"Yeah, I am," Nix laughed then shrugged. "It's a genetic default and cure in the family."
"Oh?" Whitebeard questioned as he gave Mix his full attention. Maybe they can find out more about Naomi and her childhood from her older brother. Naomi doesn't answer or say much about her past after all.
The main things that know about her is that- she's from an island called Isila in the West Blue. She has two brothers- one older called Nix and one younger called Nic. They had several cousins. Her father died when she and Nic were both quiet young. Nic seems to be her favourite brother. Nix taught her to fight. She is a devil fruit researcher. She comes and goes as she likes, but she always seems to come back to them over the past two years. They know her height, her age, her hair and eye colour, they know she likes Marco's sense of fashion since she copied it and she likes the crew. Why else would she keep coming back when she leaves for short periods of time to check something out?
Out of the crew Naomi is closet with Marco, Melody, Jozu, Colin and West. Naomi apologised to Colin and showed him some fighting moves. The two of them then kind of made up and have become friends. Naomi is always there when poor Melody gets her heart broken, which happens more times than the Whitebeards like to count. But that's okay, the crew like scaring the hell out of the guy after he does it. Naomi is good with maps and reading the weather. She knows Haki has been teaching many of the crew about it. Her and Marco are pretty much on par on each other in fighting strength when Naomi doesn't use with sea-stone weapons.
Naomi had a strange and yet wonderful musical talent. Naomi is almost as obsessed with the piano as she is with her research and well, Marco. Naomi seems to be happiest when she doing her research, playing the piano or is with Marco.
"Yeah," Nix smiled as he watched Naomi show Nic some her research notes on the deck and some of the Whitebeards tried to look, but they got death glared by Naomi and backed right off. "The oldest is always the shortest in he family. If our parents had another kid after Nic and if it ended up being a girl, it wouldn't surprise me if she was taller than me then ended up being taller than Naomi. Since she would be the oldest girl. So, the younger girl would be taller than her."
"I see," Whitebeard nodded.
Another knife came flying at Nix which he caught with ease once again then he threw it back to Naomi who caught it without watching.
"I believe that was a hint to stop calling my sister a girl," Nix laughed- not seeming to care or fazed that his sister had thrown a knife at his head, again.
"And yet, you're still brave enough too," Whitebeard laughed with him.
"Cause I am," Nix grinned like the cat who the canary. "She's my kid sister, I have fun teasing her. It's a big brother's job to tease his younger sister. Like it's a little sister's and little brother's job to worry and annoy their big brother."
Whitebeard raised his eyebrow up at Nix. Oh?
"You worry about your younger siblings?" Whitebeard lightly smiled, happy to hear that. It was good to meet his daughter's other family.
"Course, with dad dead it's up to me to worry about them," Nix lightly smiled as he watched his two younger siblings. "And mum's not doing so great either." Nix sighed. "That's pretty much the main point of this visit. Is to let Naomi know, the only problem is. I don't know how Nome is going to react to the news. Her and mum have never really been close. She's closer to Nici, and me but I mean, it's not like she doesn't care about mum either. When dad died, I took time off as a marine to help with their training and to help raise them. I did six months and mum did six months. I think the problem is, mum and Naomi just stand on different sides when it comes to responsibilities and research of our family."
Whitebeard looked at Nix as he sighed again and looked up at the sky. "Oh? Is that so?"
"Yeah," Nix sighed. Seeming to be thinking about the best way to explain it. "How do I explain it? We're pretty much taught from a young age that you're a researcher first and anything else second. Be it mother, father, sister, brother, cousin, aunt, uncle and so on." Whitebeard nodded his head. "Naomi though she understands that perfectly fine in her head, her heart doesn't agree with it. Naomi is more the type to think and lead with her heart than that heads of hers sometimes."
"Oh? Is that so?"
"Yes, that is so. I have never known Naomi to stay anywhere longer than a month or two. It depends on how research she has to do with the devil fruit or the eater. Normally a month is the average time needed and spent with a devil fruit eater. And yet, she has been with you guys for two years. I have never known Naomi to stay in one place or with a single group of people that long."
Whitebeard looked over at Naomi as she dragged Marco to seat down with her and Nic as they were talking about the research notes. Naomi didn't seem to have a problem with Marco being around when she was talking about her notes or showing them. Naomi sat his lap and wrapped his arms around her as she was talking to her brother who didn't seem to notice or if he did, he didn't say anything about it.
Was that true? Whitebeard wasn't completely sure, as Naomi didn't really speak of her time with other pirate crews or with other groups or individuals.
"Is that so?" Whitebeard commented as he looked back at Nix.
"Yeah. At first, to tell you the truth I thought that maybe she being held hostage or against her will or something," Nix laughed and told Whitebeard out straight. Nix seems to be a serious person, like Naomi. "But just being here and watching Naomi with your crew. She seems to almost belong and fit in naturally. It's kind of scary, but I'm happy for her. I'm happy to see that Naomi has been able to make friends like this like I have in the marines."
"Oh?"
"I know Naomi's opinions on the marines. Don't you worry. Nome has never liked them. Could never understand why I joined. Other than to research their devil fruit eaters. And before you ask, no. I will not share any information I have on them with you."
"I wouldn't ask you. That would be the same as asking Naomi to share her information and research with us. And that I would not do that."
Nix sat there, a little in shock. Was he serious?
"Why?"
"Why what?"
"Why wouldn't you ask me or Naomi?"
"Because it's none of mine or anyone else's business. It's your family research. Your family has been doing it for over 900 years, close to 1000 years. It wouldn't be fair or right for me, who has nothing to do with it and wouldn't if I never ate my own devil fruit. To ask you questions about it, or to ask you to share information about it. It wouldn't be right or fair. The main thing Naomi and I talk about is my own devil fruit and she has had fun doing so."
Nix laughed slightly as he smiled. "Garp-san said a very similar to thing to me when I joined the marines. Sengoku said something like that to me too."
"The two kids with you are devil fruit eaters, aren't they?"
"Ralph and Laffitte? Yeah, they are." Nix saw no point in lying about it since Whitebeard has seemed to have worked it out. What would be the point in lying about it? "Both had their fruits before they joined. It's my job to research their fruits and help them learn how to control and use their fruits. Though, the two of them have pretty much already mastered both those things without my help. But, I enjoy their company. They're both good kids. They remind me of my kid siblings. Though, Ralph can be a handful and poor Laffitte just ends up getting caught in trouble because of Ralph. The two of them are close, despite Laffitte's protests. They're each other's best friends."
"So?" Whitebeard smiled. "What can you can tell me about the Aschgate family that doesn't involve your devil fruit research?"
"You mean our family as a whole?"
"Yes. Naomi doesn't talk much about them."
"Well, I guess blonde hair runs in the family and most of them have blue coloured eyes but me. I have dad's green colour while Nic has green eyes but with blue tint in them. All the Aschgates I know and have meet are 180 centimetres or slightly taller. Naomi and Nic are the tallest at 188 and 190 centimetres tall. Most of us become devil fruit researchers. Most of us like to travel. We're all pretty close. We're stronger than the average person. We're all taught Haki at a young age since the Jason Family are Haki Researchers. Mum use to joke when we younger that Markus and Naomi would get married. He's one of the Jason and one of the few people who Naomi always got along with when she was younger. Naomi is one of the friendliest people I know but she's head-strong, stubborn as a bull and always has to prove that she is the smartest person in the room so sometimes she comes across as rude, being a smartass and sometimes a little stuck-up. But she's not, she doesn't always think before she acts. Kind of like how Nic doesn't always think before thinks or asks something or says something. We're all hand-to-hand combat and weapon experts. And I think Naomi is really the only of us that has thought ahead to her future."
"Oh?" Whitebeard commented finding that end comment interesting. "And what do you mean by that? That Naomi is really the only of us that has thought ahead in her future?"
"Well," Nix said as he sat up straight. "She's the one who has really pushed that we finish collecting the information on devil fruits. Saying we should finish the family research so our children don't have to it."
"But wouldn't that make you..." Whitebeard said, hearing it before but not sure what to say. "If you finish the research. Wouldn't that take away part of your identity? Take away part of who you are? Wouldn't that mean that future Aschgates wouldn't be devil fruit researchers?"
"I guess," Nix shrugged, not seeming to care or know how to answer. Nix didn't appear to agree but he also didn't seem to disagree with Whitebeard's comment either. "But Naomi argued and reminded us that there will be the need for devil fruit researchers. Who else will keep track of who the eaters are? Who else will know what we know about them? Just, instead of all travelling and collecting information. We can do our own thing and can do own our research if we want. We could then study and be an expert in a singular fruit instead of all them if we wanted or something."
That was an interesting plan.
"Though, if you ask our mother. Our research is incomplete without knowing the effects of devil fruit eaters and their children."
What…? Whitebeard did not understand that at all. What did Nix mean by that?
"Pardon?" Whitebeard said as he looked at Nix again. "What do you mean by that?"
"It means what it means," Nix sighed as he got up and stretched. Not seeming to want to go into more detail than that. "Ask Nome about it. She's the one who said that it's impossible and cruel to try and do that kind of research. It's pretty much the reason why mum and Naomi aren't close. Mum and Naomi have been fighting about it since Naomi was what, five I think? I was too busy joining the marines at the time so I'm not completely sure."
Well, it seems that Whitebeard has something to talk to Naomi about.
"Mum is sick?" Naomi asked Nic. Marco sighed- Naomi was using her voice that no-one could really read. And from what Marco knows about Naomi's and her mother's relationship. It has been rocky since she was five. They have some, very different opinions on certain matters and it affects all their interactions. Naomi hadn't talked what the differences were really but Marco knows that they must be very important to Naomi for her to still be mad about them after 17 years old and for her and her mother's relationship to still be rocky. "And what does this have to with me?"
"Nome, come on," Nic sighed. "I know you and mum don't always see to eye, especially when comes to the family research…"
"Zip it Nic," Naomi half snapped at her brother. "I told mum that the research on and into that thing is inhuman and impossible. It's not able to happen! Not now and not ever! I won't let her turn innocent people into her own personal experiments! We're all better off if she's dead!"
"Naomi," Marco said in a stern voice.
"What!?" Naomi fully snapped at Marco.
The Whitebeards around them all backed right off. It sounded like Naomi was mad and no-one wanted to be in the way of a mad Naomi.
"I don't know what you are talking about or why," Marco sighed as he let go of her and getting her off his lap. "But it's a private conservation-yoi. Take it to the room please." Marco smiled lightly and Naomi sighed as nodded her head.
"Your right, sorry Marco," Naomi smiled lightly as got up and started speaking in another language all together. Then pointed at Nix and said something to him.
"It seems like that is my queue to leave," Nix sighed as Naomi and Nic were talking in language that Whitebeard has never heard before. What are they talking about? "I hope we can talk again tomorrow Whitebeard-san."
"Please my boy, call Pops," Whitebeard smiled.
Nix looked at Whitebeard funny. Call him Pops?
"Pops!" Naomi frowned slightly. "Be back for dinner. Later! Nix! Comlya!"
"Ninna le dela!" Nix told Naomi.
"Veena meal era," Nic said to Naomi.
"What the hell are they saying?" Melody asked walking over to Marco as Nic, Nix and Naomi walked to Marco's room to talk privately.
"I have no idea," Marco answered with a sigh. "I have never heard a language like that-yoi. Pops?"
Whitebeard shook his head. "I am not familiar with it either my son."
"Oh, the Vice Captain is talking that weird speak again," Ralph commented with two of the nurses on his arms.
"He seems to be," Laffitte nodded in agreement.
"You two know it?" Vista asked the young men.
"Nope," Ralph answered with a shrugged of the shoulders. "But heard him speak it a few times."
"No idea what language it is nor do either of us speak it," Laffitte told the Whitebeard Pirates. "I wonder what they are saying?"
Marco sighed as he looked over at Pops. "I believe it not really of our business Pops. If it's important Naomi will tell us-yoi."
"You mean she would tell you," Vista commented.
Marco shrugged his shoulders. That may or may not be true.
"I will ask her about it later in private, if we should know about it I will tell you all," Whitebeard agreed with Marco. If it was important then Naomi would say something to someone. Most likely she would say something to Marco more than to anyone else, but still. Whitebeard wanted to know if he and the crew needed to worry about this. "For now, we should just let Naomi spend time with her brothers and think about this news on her mother."
"What news?" the Whitebeard Pirates asked.
"It's nothing that you guys need to worry about-yoi," Marco told them. "When Naomi has made her mind up about it, she will tell us. So no asking her about it. Got it-yoi?"
The Whitebeards all whispered to each other till they could feel a murderous and deadly aura rising. Okay, maybe over the past two years Naomi might have taught Marco how to be scarier than he normally is but at least it's gets everyone's attention and they listen to him more often now.
"Right Marco!" they all nodded and promised. None of them wanted to get on the bad side of Marco or worse, Naomi.
"I just hope that things are going to be good with the brothers here and not bad," Whitebeard commented. "Marco?"
"I have no idea Pops," Marco sighed as he was thinking about it. "I think it should be okay… hopefully-yoi. If Naomi and her brothers don't bump heads too much. I think Nic and Naomi should be fine. They're close, almost like best friends- like cats and fish. It's Nix and Naomi I am worried about. They're more like cats and dogs from what I understand from my conversations with Naomi. But if Nix is on his best behaviour. I think everything should be okay-yoi."
At least, Marco hopes everything is going to be okay. This is going to be an long and interesting time to say the least…. Wait… just how long are the Aschgate brothers and these two marine brats staying with them for again?
"Which reminds me," Whitebeard voiced out loud. "How long are these brats staying with us for?"
"No idea," the two marine brats answered.
"Naomi never said-yoi," Marco sighed as he shook his head.
Looks like they have something else to ask Naomi later on in private if Naomi decides to say or tell them anything anyway. Hopefully she will, after all, Naomi might not be an official member of the crew but she's still a Whitebeard Pirate. She's still family, a friend and the love of Marco's life. Not that he would admit that out loud to anyone but Naomi herself.
