CHAPTER .VIII

Leaving for Blackbeard.

The twin devil fruits.

*ACE'S P.O.V*

"Sakura, Ace are you two ready to leave yet? We prepared all your things yoi. As for you Sakura, Izou prepared your things." Marco explained.

Izou being a cross dresser actually had girls clothes to lend Sakura. "Ok thank you Marco-nii (1). I guess we can leave now. My clothes had been my only problem." Sakura said taking the bag Izou had arranged for her.

I walked to the edge of the ship and waited for Sakura. "Are you ready?" I asked not looking at her. "Well yeah so how do we get off anyways?" she asked standing next to me.

"AHHHH! ACE! What the hell are you doing?" the girl I was holing asked screaming in my poor ear. I could hear in the back some of my brother whistle, but I didn't care as I jumped off the boat to land on my Striker.

When I landed I put Sakura down and went down to work on undoing the rope holing the Striker. "Acceee~…" I heard from the back. The voice was cold and sounded deadly. 'Oh shit…' I thought before turning around. "Portgas D. Ace, if you ever do that again without warning me beforehand I will pulverize you." The pink haired said scaring the shit out me for sure, but I couldn't forget I am fire and so I can't be 'pulverized'.

"Oh, sorry… but why are you mad other than the fact that I did that without warning?" at the question the rage on her face vanished and a shy blush covered her cheeks.

"Well you know…. Because well… the boat was high and stuff… and you like just jumped." The way she was talking made it sound as if she was forcing herself to say it. It was just hilarious watching her.

"C'mon take a place and let's go." I said seeing her sitting on the top of the mat. "Ace, how does this thing work? Is it even safe?" she looked at me unsure. "Of course! I explored the some of the 'New World' for Teach. Now we're going to the first part of the 'Grand Line'."

"So what's the next island we're heading to?" Sakura asked as I we started heading to the next island. "Foodvalten." I answered. The island was around 2 to 3 days ahead and it was a Whitebeard pirates territory it was absolutely safe.

7 days later…

"Hey Ace did you hear? Tenryuubito (2) are apparently visiting Sabaody Archipelago. But first we have to wait for our coating to be finish to leave right?" I heard Sakura say still reading her news paper.

"They are? So you'll need to be careful." I said not looking at her and preparing myself for a question. "Be careful? We aren't staying at Sabaody so why be careful?" she asked.

"Well actually Sakura I have other plans for you." I said not wanting to cross her look. "What do you mean? Aren't we both going to search for Teach?" I kept walking as she asked the second question.

"Well I was thinking, I heard that my brother was spotted at Water 7, 5 days ago and I was hoping you could stay at Sabaody to wait for him. As for your treasure I'll get back for you, so don't worry." I explained. I didn't want Sakura to fight Teach, if she had lost once I didn't want her to get hurt again. Anyways Marco would kill me if I ever let something like this happen.

"I see so you continue searching for Teach while I would stay at Sabaody waiting for your brother. His name is Monkey D. Luffy right?" she said. Her voice was calm and so I guessed she wasn't mad after all.

"Yeah that's his name. But how did you know?" I was confused because only my crew knew I had an actual brother.

"Well revolutionaries have more information than others, so it shouldn't be surprising that I know more than others. And well about me staying at Sabaody, I actually don't mind because I kind of want to meet your brother anyways." I smiled softly at the last part; she would soon regret it because Luffy isn't a little ball of energy every time he meets someone.

I chuckled before saying, "Sure but take attention so you don't accidently join his crew." And then I heard a childish "Hai~~ (3)"

4 days later…

*SAKURA'S P.O.V*

When we finally arrived at Saboady, I introduced Shakky to Ace. It was of the best laugh I had in my life that day.

-Flash Back-

"So Ace, this is Shakuyaku or Shakky for short. I also wanted to present to you Rayleigh whom we call Ray-san for short, but he seems not to be here… again." I said presenting Ace to one of my saviors of 6 years ago; unfortunately Ray-san wasn't here so he couldn't meet Ace.

"Wait, Rayleigh? As in Silvers Rayleigh? The 'Dark King' and the first mate of Gol D. Roger?" He exclaimed obviously surprised.

"Of course who else do you think I'm talking about? And don't you mean Gold Roger?" I said, but could it be that the Pirate King also a D.?

"No Sakura. It's Gol D. Roger his name he is not mistaken." I heard Shakky say. "Though it is rare to see someone who knows about that." She said going behind the counter. I hated when she was relaxed like that. It meant that she knew something we didn't…

But still, I couldn't believe the Pirate King was a D. as well… now that was really intriguing.

-End Flash Back-

Then we can't forget when I went in Shakky's to change. I had stayed on this island for at least 2 years so many of my things could be found here.

-Flash Back-

I walked to a room in the back door. On the door we could read –Shakky's room-. As I walked in I saw two simple beds, a closet and a desk completely covered by papers.

It took me a few seconds to choose what to wear. And so I took a red cropped tank top. It showed my two tattoos. The butterfly on back and the pair of angel wings on my shoulder-blades.

Then I chose grey capris that had many pockets. And finally I took out my flip flops. And then exactly when I had started changing my shirt somebody came in.

"Sakura are you done…" I turned around to find Ace staring at me. With his eyes wide open that I thought would pop out of their sockets at any second now and his face red from all the blushing, "changing…"

As he finished the last word a bit of blood was coming out of his nose at this point. 'Nose bleeds. What an idiot.' I heard in my head before a "Sorry!" brought me back to my senses. I just shrugged before continuing on changing myself.

Going back to the bar in the front finally changed I saw a laughing Shakky and a Ace face red holding what appeared to a bleeding nose. That was when I started laughing as well.

-End Flash Back-

And finally Ace had asked me about my devil fruit, saying that the man who asked him to take of me had admitted that we were both devil fruit users. Now was this had taken a long explanation.

-Flash Back-

"Hey Sakura, I've been wondering. What's does your devil fruit do anyways?" Ace had asked me. "Well you see my devil fruit is called the Tenshi Tenshi no mi (4) which means I have the qualities of an angel." I said thinking about how I would explain it.

"This is a fruit really unique though it has a twin. Mine being an angel the other is the devil." I said took a pause then continued. "What about this fruit is special is that isn't a logia, a zoan or even a paramecia type. It's a mix of all three of them." I said showing him my hand full of light.

"As legend says it, an angel lives in the sky and so the element is light. Even though Kizaru posses the Pika Pika no mi (5) my devil fruit isn't about light only and so isn't the same devil fruit."

"Then my paramecia type is that of healing and for combat I can summon a light bow however it's special in its own way. It will never break unless it is consumed by darkness." I explained showing him my bow.

"Finally, zoan. Angels are obviously a myth and so it is a mythical zoan type. But considering I have yet to perfect the transformation I can only take the wings of an animal which I have also yet to discover." I finished showing him one of my feathery wings.

-End Flash Back-

"Sakura are you ready? Ace is leaving now. Come wish him luck." I heard Shakky from outside the door.

(1) nii – big brother

(5) pika pika no mi – light light no mi

A/N: Sorry~~~… I'm late again. But you can't blame me! I have work and now since a few weeks they have been taking our Sundays for 'reunions' as they call them. Even though last week I had a free Sunday I went with a few of my friends to an amusement park to relax a bit with all the work I do. Sometimes I wonder if I can call this a 'summer vacation'…

Well I wasn't really listening to any music while writing this (in fact I was watching the 2012 London Olympics with my parents). This chapter took me so much time to write… considering I had a few researches to do on it and that I totally had to re-write the chapter because I lost my rough pages.

Next chapter: Eleven supernovas. Another Tenryuubito.

Finally… I HATE FASTING! I was so fucking happy to eat! And yeah I have one big imagination when I look at that devil fruit I invented there… yup many flash backs.
