" Your daughter-in-law is awake, Your Grace." Shanks said calmly as he stood guard beside the King.

" Good, my son can calm himself now."

" Come now, Sire. You would act the same if it were Lady Rouge." Shanks said jokingly. " I was the same when I Changed Makino. I was terrified with every second that she was Changing…the mere thought that I would never see her beautiful brown eyes again almost made my heart stop."

" I understand, of course. I almost wrapped Rouge in pillows when she was pregnant with Ace…he used to be so innocent and loving…then he learned to talk…I believe that's where Rouge went wrong…she taught him to talk." Roger claimed causing the red haired vampire to laugh.

" Maybe you won't make the same mistake with your next son."

" Don't jinx me, Shanks."

" Ace! If you don't stop then someone is going to wonder where we are and come looking for us!" Ai laughed as Ace traced a finger lazily down her spine, nipping her ear lightly.

" Let them, I'll set them on fire for interrupting us." Ace grinned as a small purr came from the blunette.

" You can't just set someone on fire whenever they interrupt us." Ai said curling against him.

" Why not?"

" Cause that isn't practical, goof!"

" Since when am I ever practical?"

" This is true, but we obviously can't stay in bed forever." Ai said kissing his cheek lightly.

" I did not plan on it. Occasionally we can move to the tub for more fun." Ace said causing Ai to lightly slap his chest.

" You pervert!" Ai laughed as he rolled quickly on top of her, pinning her underneath him.

" I am your pervert." Ace said cheekily dipping his head down and trailed his lips eagerly across her collarbone. Receiving a small happy moan from her he made his way down and flicked his tongue greedily over one of her nipples.

Ai lifted one of her legs and hooked it eagerly around the fire wielder's hips. She felt him grin as he slid his tongue in circles and his hand crept downwards to stroke her flower.

A small laugh escaped him as he felt her walls tighten around his teasing fingers. Happy murmurs escaped her as pleasure flooded her entire body. She may not like the fact that Ace had been with other women but he did know how to pleasure one…and he was doing a damn good job right now. His experienced fingers stroked her flower to the point of climax. " Ace!" A small eager whimper escaped her as her walls quivered around his fingers.

Ai ran her hands greedily over his perfect muscular chest, trailing her tongue hungrily over his throat. " Ace, please…" She whimpered before he thrust inside her, filling her to the brim. He thrust slowly with deep and skillful strides. Ai couldn't believe how much he filled her. How much she felt one with him.

He was her first and only. Though she didn't believe she was very good Ace was patient and helped guide her when she became nervous about what she should do about her new powers and urges. Ace was gentle when needed and…rough when she wanted. He helped her through her urges to drink blood and through her…other urges. It had only been a week since she had been attacked and Ace had Changed her and she was slowly but surely becoming used to her new abilities.

Her brother Thatch and her new friends were a big help. She had almost completely forgotten about her meeting with Aviur that almost seemed like a dream to her.

Ai lifted her legs and pulled her Groom closer to her, accepting his skillful and powerful thrusts. Ai pulled his mouth to hers eagerly as she climaxed once more. She knew that he had reached his own as well. He trailed kisses along her jaw as he filled her with his seed. " You're beautiful." She heard him whisper lovingly in her ear.

" I know." Ai chided lovingly, kissing him happily. " You know, if you keep this up, we'll have like a hundred sons by the end of the year."

Ace let out an annoyed groan at her words. " Please don't mention that to my mother."

" Oh? Why is that?" Ai asked, nuzzling him in content.

" I don't want children and she has done nothing but nag me about grandchildren since I turned thirteen." Ace said pulling her closer to him, running his finger through her soft blue hair.

" Really?" Ai said in fact disbelief. " She has never once mentioned that to me!" Her words made him laugh.

" I have a hard time believing that!" He said sarcastically as he thrust his hips lightly. " Once my mother has set her mind to something it is hard to change it. Kind of like how I said I never wanted a Bride. Next thing I knew was her telling the Old Shit Head that Whitebeard was coming to my birthday."

" Are you saying that she invited my father here so that we could be reunited?"

" Potentially." Ace said kissing her cheek. " Now that I remember that we had met when we were children it seems entirely possible."

" So, she may try to push us having children." Ai said nuzzling him.

" Yeah, nope. I don't want children. After having Luffy around for all these years, it feels like I've raised like five kids already." Ace said calmly. " But I'd rather not talk about that."

" Mhm, Luffy seems like he would have been a real handful as a child." Ai said running her fingers through his hair.

" He was! Do you know that he almost got us killed like five times!" Ace said.

" Really? I find that hard to believe. He has such an innocent puppy like attitude, how could one ever want to kill him?"

" You know, even Boa Hancock wanted to kill him for appearing in her all female pack." Ace said calmly, kissing her forehead. " I believe that was attempted number four."

" Nee-chan can be a little over dramatic." Ai confirmed.

" That's an understatement." Ace laughed. " Your family tends to over react a tad."

" A tad? Well how would react if someone you cared about was kidnapped by someone you considered an enemy?" Ai laughed.

" Enemy? Kidnapped? Lies! I call it, Extreme Courting." Ace said kissing her lightly, running his tongue lightly over her newly developed fangs.

" Mhm, of course you do."

" Come on, our Courtship was very exciting. Except with you almost dying, I'd have preferred that not to of happened."

" Me too." Ai said. " I'd prefer not to have any more near death experiences."

" I would prefer that as well." Ace said tracing her cheek lightly with his thumb. He loved the feel of her skin against his hands. It was softer then anything he had ever felt before. He didn't think it was possible but she was even more delicate than when she was human. " Ai…"

" Shhh, I'm fine thanks to you." Ai whispered nuzzling him gently. " I'm not going anywhere."

" I refuse to let those bastards hurt you." Ace growled protectively.

" I know." Ai said kissing him softly. " You need to rest, Ace." Ai curled against him as she felt her Groom tighten his arms protectively around her. " You-"

" The Order came after you because of me, Ai." Ace said worriedly. " How can I rest until-"

WAP!

" Don't be stupid, Ace." Ai said whacking him upside the head. " If you are to tired to think straight then how can you possibly help anyone?"

" They-"

" Did something horrible but if you don't rest and keep your strength up then how can you help anyone?" Ai snapped, her blue eyebrows furrowing as she sensed his reluctance. " Now, it's my job as your Bride to take care of you just like it's yours to take care of me! I'm telling you that you need to rest and that's what you'll do!"

Ace sat dumb founded at her words before he burst into laughter. " You love," he said kissed her brow lovingly. " Will never need to be worried about a man dominating your will."

" Why is that?" Ai asked only to receive a hungry kiss from her freckled Groom.

" I wish Ace would stop defiling Ai for a few days so that we could have some girl time!" Nami whined .

" Oh come now, Nami. You remember what it was like to be Newly Wed with your Groom." Robin said smiling as she glanced up from her book. " It's very hard to pull one's self away now from them but almost impossible when you are newly Changed."

" But I miss her!" Nami groaned. " And Luffy is driving me nuts because he doesn't have Ace to entertain him right now."

" And Zoro is out on a reconnaissance mission for the King. Gathering information on what the Order's next attack may be." Robin said softly. " So he isn't here to entertain Luffy."

" Sabo is busy doing research with Koala in the Library about past encounters with them as well." Name groaned. " Stupid Sanji, he's busy cooking the meals for the entire Castle so he can't keep Luffy entertained either…I almost wish Boa Hancock was here to keep him distracted."

" Come now, we don't want the Amazon Pack's Alpha here destroying things to get to her One True Mate now do we?" Robin chuckled turning a page in her book.

" Wasn't she at one point associated with the Order? Can we even trust her?"

" In fact she was, that was until she became infatuated with a certain He-Wolf." Robin said smiling. " We can't hold everyone's past discrepancies against them…" Her words caused the orange haired vampiress to flinch slightly. Both she and the dark haired woman had sketchy pasts that they both would rather forget, yet when they met their Grooms they began to feel at ease and began to heal from the inside out. " If so, then none of us would be here."

" Yeah, ok…but what do you think is going to be done about Coby?" Nami asked worriedly. " Luffy is good friends with him but he was part of the team that attacked Ai…"

" I'm not sure…the King is going to have to think long and hard about what he plans on doing next." Robin said her voice sounding critical. " From what we saw he didn't really want to hurt Ai. I believe Coby wants to help people harmed by our kind but he doesn't fully agree with the Order's beliefs."

" I know but to align yourself with people as disgusting as the Order…"

" People could say the same about us." Robin noted. " People who don't believe that Our King cares for all creatures and wants to maintain balance between Supers and Humans. Those who believe us to be nothing more than the embodiment of evil."

" You know, Robin-chan…sometimes, I wish you weren't so damn smart!" Nami scoffed causing the dark haired woman to laugh.

" You failed us Lucci." A very pale man looking man said. He was slim in stature with wavy, wild lavender hair in a layered style that is roughly shoulder-length and parted in the middle. He glared in disgust down at a teen boy with shoulder length wavy black hair was pulled into a low ponytail. The teen stood in a pit below several high surrounding benches that encircled the pit. " You had one job, Lucci! Kill the Devil's Spawn's Whore before he turned her and you failed!"

" You failed to inform me that Vice Commander Garp's grandson would be there, Chief Spandam." Lucci said spitefully glaring up at a tall, tanned, broad-chested, muscular old man. He had a beard and a scar over his left eye, he was dressed all in white with gold buttons lining his jacket. " You failed to inform me that that waste of oxygen was still in existence."

" We will address that issue at a later time." An irritated elderly woman said. She was tall and thin with gray hair tied in a bun. Her attire was less formal than the other members of the council. She wore a untucked shirt, with the sleeves rolled up and a tie around her neck, and calves-long pants. She wore earrings made of beads, and wears two bracelets on her right wrist. " How hard was it to take the girl out before the Prince could Turn her?"

" The girl was surrounded by some of the strongest Sups in the world, Vice Commander Tsuru." Lucci stated calmly. " To have gotten as far as I did-"

" AND YOU STILL FAILED!" Spandam screeched in disgust. " Really Lucci! How hard is it to kill a little girl?"

" What are we to do with you, Lucci?" Garp asked calmly.

" Do we trust him for another attempt at this?" Tsuru asked.

" Can we trust him for another attempt?" A tall, fair skinned and muscular man with a long black braided goatee and mustache asked stiffly. He had a large black afro hidden under a white top hat. He wore black-rimmed glasses and was dressed in a white and gold medieval suit. " If the girl produces the Prince an heir and continues Roger's bloodline then there's no telling what evil may befall the world."

'That's a bit of an overstatement.' Garp thought in annoyance. He had met Ace on several occasions when he would check on Luffy and he thought he was a good kid. He helped keep Luffy out of trouble as best he could and he was protective of his friends.

" Allow me another chance and I will not fail you." Lucci said. " Allow me another chance to end Roger's line once and for all."

" How do you plan on doing that?" A man that appeared to be in his mid to late fifties snapped. He had neatly trimmed shoulder length black hair lined with small flecks of gray. He was tall and built similarly to Garp, with the exception of their eyes. His black eyes held none of the Vice Commander's warmth. Instead, they were filled with hatred and disgust as they focused on the Jaguar Shifter. " How do you plan on destroying Gol D Roger's bloodline? How can we trust that you do the job correctly this time?"

" Because Commander Malikai, I will bring her here and execute her in-front of the Council." Lucci said with a murderous glint in his dark eyes. " You will be able to display her lifeless body for the entire world as an example to not mess with the Order."

" Is there something wrong, Garp?" Tsuru asked after the meeting ended. " You seem troubled?"

" All this trouble over a little girl." Garp said irritatedly. " She more then likely just wants to live her life and this-"

" Is for the good of the world. Demons like that should exterminated to keep human beings safe." Malikai's disgusted voice said. Garp turned and glared in hatred at the man behind him. Tsuru stood stock still, waiting for the tense atmosphere to die down. The two men present have hated each other for decades.

" That demon you are speaking of is your own granddaughter, Malikai. How can you say such things about your own blood?"

" That thing is a smear on my blood. My son disgraced our family by coupling with that vampire whore that whelped the Demon's Spawn's Cunt." Malikai snapped. " If you had done your job fifteen years ago and located the whore and that brat then we wouldn't be having this conversation."

" You wanted me to locate and kill your granddaughter as a helpless six month old?" Garp said in disgust. " I'm glad that I never found her."

" Snuffing out that little brat at that young of an age would have been an act of mercy. Yet now that thing will be tortured to within an inch of its pathetic life. Lucci will enjoy torturing it for a while before ending its worthless life."

Tsuru grabbed ahold of Garp's arm quickly, preventing him from throttling the Commander. Malikai smirked hatefully before turning and striding away. " Fucking disgusting." Garp snarled hatefully. " I cannot believe he ordered the attack that killed his own son."

" Not everyone is as family oriented as you are, Garp." Tsuru said comfortingly. " You realize that you could have been in a lot of trouble for what you did. Protecting that girl and her baby."

" How could I have killed a mother who only wanted to protect her child?" Garp asked. " Despite what she was, she was injured and terrified for her child. She begged me to let her baby live."

" You showed mercy to a Vampire, Garp."

" I showed mercy to a woman who loved her child." Garp said calmly. " I couldn't have lived with myself if I had killed her and that baby."

" You know she died anyway."

" But she got her child to safety." Garp said. " That woman was a Vampire by birth, Tsuru. She was injured, as well. Her blood lust should have taken her over and she could have killed me but she didn't. She only cared about her child's safety."

" You're to much of a softy." Tsuru scoffed causing the Vice Commander to burst out laughing.

" Maybe you're right, Tsuru-chan!"
