Shanks POV
What happen to him afterwards? It's after they left Luka.
I and my crew are partying about my engagement to Luka. It was the best party I had ever had, it would have been better is she was here. Luka would be clinging to me; I would be teasing and melting underneath her grip. It would have been fun but I'm stuck with sweating guys instead.
Right now the ones clinging onto me is Yasopp and Lucky. We are dancing on the table, sake in our mouths and sticks in our noses.
Later during that party, Ben came up to me with important news. "Captain, when you asked her to be your bride, are you sure she knew what that was?"
"Fuck, I didn't think about it" I admitted. "Why didn't you teach her about it? I know you were the one who told her to kiss me."
I hit my head on the table. Damn, I didn't really think about her not knowing that. I would have thought someone would have told her when she was young, but then again she lived with her marine grandfather who barley came home. He wouldn't tell Luka that, and I don't think she would have listened either. My true love didn't understand the meaning of my words.
Why God, why do you do this to me? I begged the gods. But a faint voice in the back of my head answered instead, "Because that's why you love her."
I did love her, she was unlike a girl in many ways but she was angel. Her sweet figure, face, voice, touch, and smell were so wonderful. I loved the way she sings her dorky song, her dance, her dream, and the way she never judges a person before seeing them face-up.
"I could barely get her to understand that. It would of taken weeks to get half way of the concept" Ben said. I knew he was right, I seen the way she thinks. I just hope that Nami would keep up her side of the deal and explain to my angel about the meaning of my words.
Until the next time I see my sweet angel, I can tell her exactly what she means to me; instead of putting it in petty words or others' quotes.
Four weeks later on Alabasta (Nanohana)
Ace POV
I'm walking through Nanohana looking for two people: Blackbeard and my stubborn sister. I had gotten a call from the Mayor some time ago concerning my sister and her vogue out to sea.
Let me just said they are still repairing the burned hole on the ship's floor. Of course I burned it, why wouldn't I when I hear that my sister actually took off. I thought I told her to still put on the island, like a good little sister. But no, she's causing trouble and now I had to find her to take her ass home. This time I'm buying some locks to keep her in place. She causes to much trouble, it stresses me out.
Marketplaces was the best place to start, there lots of gossiped running through the venders. And here comes one now, an old man with a purple hat on. "Oh! Anchan, I haven't seen you around these parts. Is this your first time in Arbasta? What do you think? Have a look!" he said while holding up a golden apple. I was about to walk by him since he was more concern about his apples than any good information.
But he stopped me, "Wait a minute! I have something to tell you in private. I found this incredible treasure when exploring some ancient ruins! If you take one bite of this mysterious golden apple, you can live for a thousand years!"
I wasn't about to get fool by this old man. I could almost laugh in his face but I kept a polite face. "Sorry, but I've no interest in living for a thousand years. It's enough if I can live through today" I said truthful. I knew as soon as I got Luka, she would push her angry out on me.
When I left, I could hear the old man talking to new bakas, who actually believed his story. One of them was hairy and the other had a long nose, weird how I always end up finding weird sets of people. I guess there are some people out here as dumb as Luka. She would have brought them all not even caring if she lived for a thousand years, she only cared about food.
I went up to a old person, I don't really know their gender bur I'm guessing a man. "Have you seen this girl before?" I asked while I pulled out Luka's wanted poster.
"Eh? Monkey D. Luka?" he said.
"There's a chance she might be in this town. I've been looking around here for a little while now" I admitted. I been here since last week after I left a note for Luka on the winter Island. I hope she gotten it, well if she did than she wouldn't want to see me. She knows why I'm here but I wasn't thinking when I gave that guard my message.
"I've never seen him. Oh yes, if you're looking for someone, maybe you should try the restaurant down the way. The master there is well connected around the town."
"Thank you" I told him. "A restaurant, huh? I was getting hungry, anyway" I mostly said the last part to myself. I should have tried that place first, Luka always thinking about food. I headed away from the vender-man; and headed to the restaurant, Spice bean. When I left, I could hear some people talking about me, most likely noticing my tattoo on my back, my pride and joy.
Shanks finally notice the big problem about confessing. Ace comes in all brotherly mode. Yeah this is going to be fun. Side note: Vivi (Sanji and Chopper) doesn't know about Luka being engaged. Ace is the one who going to let everyone know. Please leave a review and suggestion.
