Family Part 3
Last time...
"What?" Izou said- breaking the silence after a few minutes of no-one saying anything or moving, or doing anything. The kid wanted them to leave him, alone, in a small rowboat, in the New World? Was he insane?!
The kid sat up again and released a bit… okay, a lot of Haki- knocking out a lot of Whitebeard's sons. The kid might not sound or show his emotions but it seems that he was annoyed, by of the action of releasing his Haki. This kid had Conqueror's Haki…? And it was strong too. Damn, this kid might be dangerous after all. But who is he?
"I said- just put me back." the kid repeated to Izou- maybe seeming a little mad but it was hard to tell with his face expression the way it was. "I'll be fine."
"Impressive Haki brat," Whitebeard said.
The kid looked at him but his face expression didn't change. It looked hurt and emotionless at the same time- like he had seen the horrors of the world and didn't want anyone to know what he thought or what he was thinking because of it. It was hard to tell what the kid was thinking because of this. What had the boy seen to make him have this kind of face? Like it was normal to look this way? Who was this kid?
"Who the fuck are you?" the kid asked.
That make the people who still standing and conscious from the Whitebeard Pirates, mouths' drop. This kid didn't know who their father was? How can he not know who their captain and father is!? How can he not know Whitebeard!?
"Edward Newgate, also known as Whitebeard," Whitebeard answered. Maybe the kid was used to being treated with disrespect which is why he is so rude? Let's see how the brat reacts to something being a little respectful to him. Because if the brat kept up this rude behaviour, well, Whitebeard was not going to be impressed or happy with him. Whitebeard wasn't liking the kid's attitude right now. "And you are?"
"Phoenix…" the kid muttered getting up and grabbing his bag as he got OUT of the boat. Why was the brat getting out of the boat now all of a sudden? The brat's name was Phoenix…?
"Spade, you dick!" a voice shouted.
Whitebeard and the few people consciousness, mostly being commanders crew members of the Whitebeard Pirates- all turned around and saw blue flames of a bird… a phoenix…? Like Marco had been. Was this the new devil fruit eater of Marco's fruit? After it wouldn't and couldn't be Marco, he died, roughly 26 years ago… Was the person going to transform out of their phoenix form…? Did the this blonde say phoenix because he had seen the devil fruit eater? Was the kid's name Spade? Who calls their kid Spade? What kind of name is that?
Suddenly they transform into human as they landed on the deck and a lot of their mouths dropped opened. How was this possible…? He was… he was dead… the guy didn't seem to have noticed them too for some reason. The devil fruit eater's attention was all on his friend who he had called Spade, so he didn't even blink twice at the Whitebeards.
"I knew you would find me Phoenix," the blonde who the guy who looked like Marco had called Spade said, the kid that Whitebeards had find. He even gave a slightly smile, if one could a small movement on the blonde with red eyes' face a smile. "I can always count on you."' 'Phoenix' as the blonde hair guy who looked Marco was called, slapped the other blonde.
"Spade you dick!" Phoenix repeated at the blonde with red eyes again. Spade said nothing as he looked down at their feet, like he was ashamed of himself for making the other blonde worry about him. "Do you have idea how worried we were about you?! You're not only our brother but our Captain too! You can't just keep disappearing like this!" The Whitebeard Pirates are all taking it as this happened before then from that comment. "You're going to yourself into trouble that I might be there to get you out of in time!"
"I'm sorry." Spade said- not sounding or looking it.
Phoenix sighed as he just shook his head then smiled. "At least you sound it this time," as he hugged Spade who said nothing. At least he sounded it this time…? But he didn't sound it at all! "Come on then," Phoenix said grabbing his arm with a happy smile. "Let's go back. The others are worried."
"I do mean it Phoenix," Spade said as Phoenix, not moving. "I do mean I am sorry. How is the family?"
Why are they ignoring and acting as the Whitebeard Pirates aren't here? And family? What? What were these kids talking about…? Who are these kids talking about?
"Other than being worried about you, everyone in the crew is fine," Phoenix answered.
Whitebeard liked these kids- not only does one of them look exactly like Marco and had his devil fruit abilities/powers but they seem to see each other as brothers and their crew as their family. It seems they would fit in with his.
"Wait a moment brats," Whitebeard said. The pirate captain saw Phoenix flinch as he turned and seemed to have noticed Whitebeard for the first time and the Whitebeard Pirates too.
"Marco…" Thatch said, rather loudly. Being the only brave enough to voice what everyone was thinking and that was that this Phoenix guy looked like their dead brother. Phoenix flinched again as he put up his arm and blue flames were dancing. He looked very freaked out and scared. It seems they freaked the kid out… but what was noticeable was that other blonde, Spade, actually looked mad. He didn't seem have an emotionless face or lifeless eyes, he looks… genuinely mad.
Spade rolled up the sleeve of his black jacket where the Whitebeard Pirates saw some tattoos of some animals- a lion, a tiger and a wolf, some others but those were standouts right now as the tattoos suddenly moved and made sounds. Freaking out the Whitebeard Pirates- as they then ran off the arm and become… well, real.
What the fuck…? What the actual fuck! What the hell kind of ability or devil fruit gives a person to use this kind of power?! How does it work?! Why weren't they aware of this sooner?! Just who the hell is this Spade kid?!
"I don't know how you know my brother's name," Spade said in a dead serious and scary voice as he stood in front of Phoenix as if he was going to protect to the taller blonde. Wait… Phoenix's name was Marco? Then why were they calling Marco, Phoenix? "But I won't let you take him. I won't let you have him. I won't let you hurt him. He's my family."
Spade was being possessive again. And the crew jokes that Marco can be possessive of his bird nature, since birds are naturally possessive creatures. But that was nothing compared to Spade and his possessiveness. Not that Marco blames Spade for his possessiveness, it's all Spade's family fault for that. For what they did to him, for what they tried to do to him and to Marco and to their friends.
It seems, they have a misunderstanding on their hands, with two devil fruit eaters and one of them seemed more dangerous than he was letting on before. Fuck… this wasn't good… the kid really looked like he was going to kill them. The kid was willing to fight to them to fight them to death to protect his own, to protect his family. Like they would do.
The last thing that Marco and the others need right now is a fight against the Whitebeard Pirates! Spade was not fighting against the Whitebeard Pirates! That was a huge NO. It was going to get him killed!
"Spade, don't!" Marco said grabbing Spade arm to stop him from moving away from Marco right now. The Phoenix devil fruit eater needs gets his Captain under control, he was the First Mate and it was his job to keep the captain under control. This would hurt the family if he didn't! The last thing they need is the Whitebeard Pirates coming after them too! They already had one Emperor chasing them! They don't need another! "They're the Whitebeard Pirates! They're out of our league right now! Let's just leave! It doesn't matter if they know my name. I don't care. We just have to get back to the family. Alive." Stressing the last part. "We have to go back to the crew Spade. Everyone is worried."
"Fine," Spade said as the animals disappeared in a weird smoke but reappeared on his arm as he let the sleeve of his jacket drop. Marco was the only the one who could talk Spade out of fighting, most of the time. Marco let out a sight of relief of being able to talk his captain down, though, he wanted to know what has gotten into Spade right now. He was not normally like this.
"Good, let's go home to the crew, yeah?" Marco smiled to Spade who managed to do a smile back which made Marco smile even more.
"I'll like that. I want to go back home to the others, to the Ink Hearts." That being their pirate crew.
Wait, these kids were apart of the Ink Heart Pirates? Their captain and most likely first mate? Just who the hell are these two? When did they meet? Why has Marco joined them? This Marco was their Marco, wasn't he? Emmet was going to need to look into who the Ink Hearts are.
Thatch hugged Marco suddenly out of no where which didn't go over all with either Marco or Spade. What was Thatch doing!?
