Hello everyone, here is another one shot, this is an outtake
This is based on if Ace was a female and how her hair would have been a no zone and as to why. This is just a random idea I had
I hope everyone enjoys it
Read and relax
Thatch moved his hand towards Ann's hair, the woman moving her hand to stop Thatch's. "Nope, you're not touching my hair. Why do you want to touch it?" Thatch blinked. "I- you have a twig in it." Ann nodded, before she moved her hand through her hair, getting the small twig out herself. When it was out, Ann shook her head a bit so her hair fell down on her back and shoulders in a natural way. The captain wondered why Ann was so against Thatch touching her hair, but he didn't want to ask it when so many were around.
So when evening came two days later and he made his way out on deck, he saw Ann was out and headed over, starting some chatter up, before he decided to ask what he was wondering about. "Earlier, two days ago, why were you so against Thatch taking the twig out? He just wanted to help." Ann sighed. "I just don't like people touching my hair." The captain nodded, having a feeling he wouldn't get more than that. He then continued with some chatter for a small while, before Ann got a request she needed to leave for.

Whitebeard saw Trevor moving his hand to his head. "Oy, Bunny. You have a twig in your hair." Ann nodded and moved her hand to where Trevor pointed, but didn't quite catch it. "No, to your left." Said Trevor, and the captain wondered why Trevor didn't just take the twig out himself, he was close enough. It took some seconds, but Ann soon got it out, giving a thanks to Trevor. It was a bit later Ann got a request and left for it, and as Ann was gone, and many headed inside as dinner was starting, and as most were gone, just a few commanders and others out, he looked at Trevor. "Why didn't you take the twig out yourself?" Thatch nodded. "Yeah! I once wanted to help get a twig out of her hair, and she was very much against it." Trevor blinked. "Oh, you don't know."
Whitebeard frowned. So there was a reason. "Know what?" Trevor sighed. "Of course you wouldn't know, she wouldn't have said it." Trevor took a breath. "Don't tell her I said this, but when she was 14, a very bad man got his hands on her, and he strung her up by her hair in seastone chains. She had to wait for her entire scalp to give away so she could escape, which took almost 2 days, a day and half I believe. Her hair is a huge, huge, no no zone." Whitebeard nodded, that made sense. He felt bad for the woman, that she had gone through that. It sounded painful. He wouldn't bring it up with her again. He could also see the ones out understanding this was a bad memory for Ann, especially Marco, who had already seen a lot of Ann having issues, by being with her during nights and nightmares.

Marco sat down by their table, enjoying dinner, Shanks a few tables away, being a loudmouth as usual. As they were just chatting about things, Benn came inside the room and he headed towards them, heading to be behind Ann, and started to move a hand out to her hair, which Marco was about to speak up about, to tell him no, not sure if Ann knew he was there. But before he could, Ann leaned her head forward a bit, making so Benn could access her hair better, before he started to sort her hair out, before he started on a braid. Marco had no idea the man could even braid. He made an astonishing braid, and when he was done, he moved a hand to Ann's shoulder. "Try and keep it in. It looks nice." Ann nodded. "Will try." Benn nodded and moved to sit down himself next to Ann, taking some food himself, speaking with the woman. Marco wondered how Benn was able to do that. None of them had been allowed close to her hair. But here Benn was, just touching it and making a braid, meaning he even needed to pull on it a bit.
When evening came, many heading in early as they started to get hungover from drinking so much during the day, Shanks also leaving, and as most were gone, Ann also being gone for work, it opened for Marco to ask Trevor something. "Trevor, earlier, Benn touched Ann's hair, he even made a braid. I thought none was allowed close to it, yoi." Trevor chuckled. "It's Benn! He has been there long for Ann and different than many others have been. He is one of the very few who are allowed to touch it." He nodded, same with Pops, who spoke. "So, a few can touch it?" Trevor nodded. "I can, if I give a clear warning and go slow, I can at very rare times, touch it. And that trust took a lot of time to get. Her hair is a huge no no. I think there are only about 5 who can touch it." Marco nodded. That made sense. He would be sure to keep his distance to Ann's hair. He didn't want to step wrong again. He still remembers when he had pushed Ann against a wall, and he had paid with it by getting a broken jaw and nose. Ann had a lot of trauma, and he got why. He would give Ann the time she needed to open about it.

Marco laid in bed with Ann, the two of them just relaxing, Ann lying on her stomach and head on her pillow, relaxing, while Marco was reading a book. As they were just relaxing, Ann spoke. "Marco?" Marco hummed, making Ann continue. "Could you… stroke my hair a bit." Marco blinked. Ann was asking what? "Are you sure, yoi?" Ann nodded, eyes still closed. "Yes. I am." Marco nodded and slowly brought a hand to her hair, carefully stroking it, combing his hand through her long hair. Ann had tensed a bit up, but soon relaxed with a breath, and Marco felt warm inside. He was allowed to touch her hair. This was huge, at least Marco felt it was. Very few were allowed to do this, to touch her hair. Ann was opening up. It would be a long road, but they were getting there.'
And that's the one shot, hope you enjoyed
I know it was short, but I hope it was good and made sense
