Hello everyone, here is another one shot
This is still in the modern era, just an idea I had for it
Hope you enjoy
Read and relax
Whitebeard walked beside his children and Ace, they were heading for a restaurant to speak about some business. The others joined since they were heading out to town in a bit, which would leave him and Marco to speak with Ace. They were in the city now, and the big screens were on and creating many distractions, but they were used to it so it didn't bother him too much. But as they were heading towards the restaurant, Ace's phone made a sound and when Ace looked at it, he frowned a bit, before he held a hand up, still looking at his phone. "Excuse me for a bit." Before he could question it, Ace ran off. He could see the others were curious as to why Ace had run off, but Whitebeard just said he needed to do something.
They then stood and spoke for a bit, and after about half an hour, Whitebeard saw Ace coming from around a corner, on his phone. He was about to speak, to ask why he had run off, when Ace lifted his phone and pressed a button. And as he did, the big screens around them started to show a video of a man selling young girls, and it had him blink and shocked, and then he heard a commotion to his left, and looked over to see the cops having the man who was on the screen in cuffs and people were screaming on how horrible the man was. This was amazing, how Ace managed to do this. He now got why Ace had run off, he did it to make this happen.
Ace then moved over to them. "So, what now? I just had a small meeting." Ace was amazing, he really was. He was making the world better. It didn't seem like the others understood Ace had done this, aside from Marco, which was good. He was sure everyone wouldn't accept this, what Ace was doing. He knew many were against informants and mercenaries. He would try and slowly bring it up. But for now, they had a small meeting they needed to have, and would do so over dinner. So, they headed to the restaurant they had a table at, being a bit late, but it was fine, and they sat down. The others, aside from Marco, didn't stay long as they weren't needed for this. They didn't like work the same way as they did, and just he and Marco were needed for this, and of course Ace.
But as they were eating, a cop came inside the room, and spoke to the manager, and he got a bad feeling, especially when the manager pointed to them. The cop came over, turning to look at them. "Hello, I am looking for Ace D Portgas. Is he here?" Whitebeard blinked, sure this wasn't a good thing now, and was on his way to speak. But before he could speak, Ace did, turning to look at the cop. "I'm sorry, no. You just missed him. I am Alexander Beaverhausen, can I do anything to help?" Whitebeard blinked. Ace spoke as if that really was his name, in confidence. The cop shook his head. "No, you can't. Can you have him give me a call?" Said the cop as he handed out a card to Ace, who took it with a smile. "Sure. Hope you have a good day."
The cop then left, and before he could speak, Marco did. "Alexander Beaverhausen? As in Anastasia Beaverhausen?" Ace nodded as he smiled. "Yes! You got that one? Very few do." Marco blinked. "You do realise someone will get it and you will be busted, yoi." Ace chuckled. "Nah, even if they do, I will just say I was joking. No one will mind it." Marco gave a slow nod, not looking to believe that completely. He then sent a look at Ace and Marco. "Who is this Alexander and Anastasia Beaverhausen?" Ace chuckled. "From an old show in the late 90s. Anastasia Beaverhausen is a pseudonym for one of the characters." That was risky, if a cop one day got it. "That is risky, Ace." Ace waved his hand. "Nah. It's just fun." Whitebeard still had a bad feeling about this. He knew Ace was a criminal for doing what he did, but he wasn't a bad criminal, at least in his mind. But Ace was very carefree about this.
Ace then looked at the card. "I will call in an hour." Whitebeard blinked. "You will call?" Ace nodded. "I promised to give myself the card, so I will call. Probably nothing. It is usually nothing, they just think I am a witness, and I say no, I am not. I wasn't wherever they thought I was, as I have an alibi." Whitebeard frowned. "What's your alibi?" Ace hummed. "I was with my brothers, they always help me out, if I can't use them, I have others." Whitebeard nodded, Ace was prepared. Which was good. He didn't want to see Ace winding up in prison.
They then ate their food and had fun, and spoke business, before they left after a couple hours. And as they were heading on, Ace moved to take the card out. "Let me just take this call, before it is too late." Whitebeard nodded, and Ace typed the number into his phone, before moving it to his ear, and spoke into it. But as Ace did this, he took another phone out, and started typing on that as well. He wasn't surprised Ace had multiple phones, he needed it for his work. It wasn't much he heard from Ace, mostly being yes and no's. After a few minutes, them walking as Ace spoke and typed, Ace hung up. "Let me just type this, and done." Ace then put both phones away. "Nothing special, just a follow up question to the human trafficker as someone thought they saw me. They did not. It's all fine now." That was good to hear. They then walked back to the office, where Ace left them and headed home, them being done now and had spoken about what they needed to speak about.
When Ace was gone, Marco hummed as he looked at him. "He is taking a few risks here, yoi." Whitebeard nodded, he agreed. Ace was. "I know, but he seems to have control, son." It did seem like that. He was just glad Marco didn't seem to mind Ace being an informant/mercenary. He hoped he would get to know Ace more. He seemed to be a man of many talents.
