Hello everyone, here's another one shot. This is a missing scene
In chapter 15 The Break, we have Fossa and Ace talk together about flammable liquid and Ace gave a tip to Fossa and said he could help the man with it. This is that.
This means some bonding between the two. We can never get enough bonding
This was sort of a request from some people, who wanted to see Ace interact with the crew more. This was Yaoifan124 and a guest
Hope you enjoy
Read and relax
Ace sat by the railing at his usual spot, reading a book and enjoying the nice weather. As he was about to turn the page, he heard someone say his name and Ace looked up to see Fossa there. Ace lowered his book and looked at the fifteenth commander. ¨Fossa, did you need anything?¨ The man gave a nod, ¨I managed to get a hold of the substance you mentioned and wondered if you has the time to show how to apply it?¨
Ace gave a nod and stood up, ¨I can do that now.¨ Fossa gave a nod, ¨I have it ready in my room.¨ Ace nodded, starting to head towards the commander's quarters, Fossa following. ¨That's good. I just need to stop by my room and grab some things.¨ Fossa gave a nod and walked beside Ace to the commander's room, having regular conversation. When they got it Aces room, Ace looked at the other commander. ¨I'll come after I grabbed the things. Open the windows you have and make sure you have the open space we need.¨ Fossa nodded and headed into his room and Ace into his.
When Ace got into his room, he placed his chair in front of the closet and stood on it, leaning to reach the top of the closet and grabbed a small box hidden and stepped down from the chair. Ace would usually left some of the things here, but he wasn't sure what he might need or not, it all depended on how concentrated the liquid Fossa had gotten. Instead of using time to think what he would need to take out, he just took the entire box with him, he didn't have the really dangerous things here. They were left at the Red cloud so no one could accidentally or consciously take the different liquids he also had, mostly poison.
As Ace walked out of his room and to the fifteenth commander's one, he knocked quickly before entering,placing the box on an empty spot, before looking at the bottle he knew where the liquid and quickly read on the bottle to see how concentrated it was. As he read, Fossa spoke up. ¨Bay said that if I dared to buy completely concentrated, that she would castrate me. She said that was concentrated enough.¨
Ace gave a laugh as he nodded. It was a really thinned out one, being 30% Chlorine trifluorid. ¨I get that. If you managed to get the concentrated one, I would have thinned it out to this. This substance is really dangerous. I wouldn't even let you kept the bottle if it were concentrated and placed it a secured place.¨ Fossa looked shocked, ¨It's really that dangerous?¨
Ace nodded, ¨Concentrated Chlorine trifluorid is one of the most dangerous substances if used carelessly. What makes it so dangerous is that the substance itself isn't flammable, but it makes everything else flammable, even non-flammable substances. It can be acid like and the fumes are like acid that would have burned your lungs from the inside.¨ Fossa blinked, before giving a nod. ¨But that concentration is safe to work with?¨ Ace gave a mix of a nod and shake, ¨It's not as bad, but still dangerous. But you're already used to flammable liquid, so it will go fine. Just don't let it get to you.¨
Fossa nodded and went over to the sword he had placed on the table. ¨I've cleaned the sword so it's ready.¨ Ace nodded and reached into his box and took a cloth and bottle out. ¨This is nikkor fluorine, it is what is best used as a coat on the sword to manage the corrosive substance and make sure the sword doesn't get damaged. You need to reapply it every other week, to make sure it does its job.¨ Fossa nodded and took the cloth and bottle. ¨How thick layer?¨ Ace shook his head. ¨Not thick. Just a quick brush over, not so you can see it's wet. Then you need to do the same with the chlorine trifluorid one.¨
Fossa nodded and started to do it, listening to Ace when he said something and made sure not to spill any.
When he finished with the coatings and had put the liquid on the sword, Ace gave a nod and handed him a cloth. ¨It's wetted in a special liquid to make sure you get it off your hands.¨ Fossa nodded and cleaned his hands, before handing it to Ace, who cleaned his own and the bottle to be sure. When he had, he gave the cloth back to Fossa, ¨You can keep it, it can be used a few times. You can also keep the bottle of nikkor fluoride, I have more.¨
Fossa nodded. ¨Thank you. Why do you have more? I didn't think you used this kind of things.¨
Ace gave a small laugh, ¨I don't use flammable liquids or any of that kind. But I use poison. I use it mainly on darts and arrows, but I sometimes coat daggers or swords.¨ Fossa gave a nod, looking at the box he had. ¨That's why you had an entire box. What kinds of poisons?¨ Ace thought for a second. ¨I use most. Everything from basic snake poison, mercury and lead, to ricin, amatoxin, sarin and cyanide. I don't keep the more dangerous around, those are held at a safe place.¨
Fossa nodded, ¨I didn't know assassins used poison a lot.¨ Ace laughed, ¨We rarely do. We usually like to do the deed ourself. But some don't get to get the relief to be killed by hand and some are to hard to take out without being noticed. Poison is a good way and it can cause much pain and suffering for hours, days and weeks, making many not realise they even were targeted. Sometimes that's good too.¨ Fossa nodded, seeming to understand it.
Ace motioned to Fossas sword. ¨Also, be sure to remember what I said at the start. Chlorine trifluorid makes things flammable. If you ignite it, which is easier than your regular liquid, give it a flick to the enemy, so liquid gets on them. This will make them catch fire and when they uses their hand to put it out, they will only make more surface burn.¨ Fossa let out a laugh, ¨I need to remember that. That sounds amazing.¨ Ace nodded, ¨It is.¨
Ace had seen that before. People getting a few small drops on them and panicking, trying to stop the flames with their hands, only to make it worse until they are fully aflame and they slowly burn to death. A perfect way to let some people die. Even better was when people tried to help, only to get mixed in it too and slowly burn to death themselves.
Ace gave a smile to the fifteenth commander. ¨You should try it out before going to battle, to feel the effect and the differences from what you usually use. Also, don't be near anyone at the beginning, just to be sure.¨ Fossa nodded and gave a smile of his own. ¨I will. Thank you for this.¨ Ace waved his hand, ¨It was nothing, I'm glad to help. And it's always nice to spend time with everyone, so I get to know you better.¨
Fossa gave a nod and a smile, Ace giving one back. It was nice to get to know the crew better, there were many to get to know and Ace would try to get to know everyone.
And that's the chapter, hope you enjoyed
I know it might not have been the best, but I tried my best. And if you have a specific commander you would like to see Ace get to know better, please tell who and I'll see what I can do
And also, the Shanks chapter is on its way, I promise. I just have been busy and have had some issues with it, which made me rewrite it and I'm sorta stuck again. But it's will be up when finished.
Don't be afraid to leave requests.
