This was a request from Yaoifan124

Hope you enjoy

Read and relax

Shanks walked into a bar at an island they were docked at. It wasn't anything special, just a regular somewhat neutral island in the grand line, which did have some people living here and visiting. He had already started a fight with two different groups of people, since they acted way out of their way and was obnoxious, Benn starting to get annoyed by it and hoped they could relax at the bar, Rockstar and Yasop also coming with them, the rest of and doing their own thing. They quickly bought some drinks and settled down in a booth, people sending them looks as he was being recognized. He was looking at the people in the bar, to see if he saw anything special, when something caught his eye.

It was a young woman, maybe in her mid-twenties, looking gorgeous and amazing, and Shanks swore he had seen her before.

She had black hair, reaching to her lower back, red eyes and pale and flawless skin. But it wasn't the fact she was really beautiful that caught his eyes, well yes, it was, but what made him frown was the three men that were speaking to her, seeming to be really pushing boundaries. She was a petite woman, she might not be able to fend them off or was too scared to do anything as the men was much bigger than her. She looked confident, might be from the red district, but she was too flawless, she didn't really fit in on an island like this.

As he was about to stand up, Benn stopped him for a second, sending him a serious look. ¨Don't, let them be. Especially the woman.¨ Shanks blinked. He knew Benn didn't like morons like those men was, looking to be bad news and was even looking at the woman with sick eyes. He gave a look to Benn as he shrugged the hand off and walked over to the small group, hearing Benn give a sigh behind him. Why was Been being weird about this? He would do the same, he usually did. But he would take that later, right now he would see if everything was fine over there.

¨Hey there, pretty woman.¨ Said Shanks as he sat down on a chair on the other side of the table from the woman, pushing a guy away as he was slowly reaching for her. He saw the woman's eye twitch for a second, before a guy, the same he had pushed away, glared at him. ¨Hey! We found her first, go away, asshole.¨ Shanks threw a glare at the man, seeing him backing off as he either recognized him or felt the murderous aura. ¨And now I'm here. You are obnoxious anyway, go play somewhere else and stop bothering this beautiful woman.¨ The man gave a slow nod, backing off to another table. Shanks looked at the woman, who looked at him with a glare, before he looked at the two other people there. ¨You too, go.¨ The men nodded and did, looking at him with frightened eyes as they joined their buddy.

As they were gone, Shanks gave a grin. ¨Now, beauty, what are you do,-¨ Shanks cut off with a gasp as his hand was grasped, his middle finger to be specific, and felt immense pain as the woman cut everything off, blood, nerves and everything as his finger went white and numb, pain shooting through his arm.

But it was a thing he had felt before and looked at the woman, going to ask who she was, but the words died in his throat as he saw a familiar glare at him. ¨You will go back to Benn, sit down and be quiet while I finish up. Do you understand?¨ The voice was in a whisper, but he could hear the fury and heard the familiar tone. And as he did, Shanks felt his mind stop as he recognized the glare, hold on his finger and voice.

It was Ace.

Why he was dressed as a woman was another thing. But before he could ask or get a word out, the hold on his finger shifted and almost made him give a whimper as it hurt. ¨Do you understand?¨ Shanks gave a nod, and Ace released his finger, making Shanks cradle his hand as he got the feeling back and the pain stopped. As he was about to ask what he was doing, he moved away and headed over to the group again, voice lighter and looking to be interested in what they said, hand playing with the hair as he leaned on the table closer to the men, who really looked to be undressing him, or her, with their eyes. It made him want to go and drag him out of here, not liking this.

But before he could do anything, Benn sat down next to him. ¨Let her work.¨ Shanks blinked and looked shocked at his first mate. ¨You knew?! How?!¨ That had to be why he said to leave her alone before, but how did he know? The man gave a snort. ¨Look at her. It's almost like looking at Azuruko as a woman with black hair. A perfect replica, she could pose as his child.¨ Shanks blinked and looked at Ace again, now seeing it. The hair was the same hairstyle, the half ponytail, the eyes red, skin fair and flawless. It was a well-made disguise, he would have never guessed it wasn't a woman. And that was probably why the woman looked familiar, she looked like a girl version Azuruko.

He watched as Ace spoke to the men, before leaning in and whispering something to one, before heading upstairs, the man following soon after. Shanks was just about to go after, to hurt the man for following after Ace, but Benn stopped him. ¨Ace have control, this is probably his plan. Let him work.¨ Shanks gave a reluctant nod. He knew Ace could care for himself, but he didn't have any weapons on him now, the dress he wore was formfitting. There could be something hidden in his curves, but he wasn't sure. He was worried for Ace, for the woman he was dressed as. The man was big, and Shanks wanted to make sure everything was fine. The only thing that kept him from following, was when Benn said Ace would be really mad if he followed, as he had been before for almost ruining what ever he was doing.

But half an hour later, Ace, or the woman, came down the stairs alone.

When she passed them, she snapped her fingers at them and pointed at the exit and they followed, knowing he would explain what was happening. And they wanted that explanation too.

As soon as they were out, it being nighttime and cold, Shanks took his jacked off as he placed it on Aces bare shoulders. ¨What are you doing, Ace?! Do you realize how bad that could have ended?! They coul-,¨ He stopped when he got a glare. ¨I had everything under control until you showed up. You almost made everything worse.¨ Shanks sputtered. ¨I was worried, Ace! Why are you even dressed like that?!¨ He got a glare again. ¨It's Ann right now. And some people prefer woman, not men. This is my job, you know this.¨ Shanks sputtered again, before he gave a half glare back. ¨No, NO! This is not okay!¨ He turned to look at Benn. ¨Tell him this is not okay, Benn!¨ Benn gave a small glare at him, before he looked at Ace. ¨You look wonderful. He didn't even know who you were. Ann, you said?¨ Ace gave a nod. ¨Yes, Ann. And it is made to trick people, almost surprised it didn't fool you.¨

The man gave a snort, ¨You look like a replica of Azuruko, save for the hair color and gender.¨ Ace gave a small laugh as he started walking, Benn walking next to him, or her, or something. Shanks was confused. Why was Benn going with it?! Before he realized it, Been and Ace was almost out of view. Shanks blinked as he ran after, continuing to say that this was not fine. Stopping when both of them glared at him, before they continued to walk, leaving him confused behind.

Why did Ace have to dress as a pretty woman? What would Roger have said? Shanks shook his head and he followed after, wanting to know why a woman, why Ann, and why Benn was so okay with it, his main shock over as he felt more calm.

After a long conversation and some glares and a painful hold again, he promised to never interrupt again and let him, or her, do her work in peace, to always say her or Ann when in disguise.

But why a woman?

And that's the chapter, hope you enjoyed

We needed some humor and relaxation, and Shanks can provide that. Poor man wasn't ready for this
