"There you are Ace!" Marco called out when he saw the young pirate come back onboard, "Where have you been? Whitebeard just told us his precious little daughter is coming to visit tomorrow. Apparently he talked to her captain about a truce while we are here."

Ace looked at Marco in surprise, "A truce? Are we fighting with the Devil's Kiss?"

"Of course not!" Marco laughed out, "However, their captain likes to duke it out with Whitebeard. Apparently they have a history."

Ace made a face, "That's disgusting! She's his daughter's age!"
"Not that kind of history!" Marco said as he slapped Ace's head, "Whitebeard knew the girl before she was a pirate. Apparently he helped her out or something and ever since she's been a pirate."

"What did he do?"

Marco shrugged, "Who knows, Whitebeard never talks about it and neither does she. It's a secret, although a lot of people do think it was that kind of history." He said with a wink.

Ace sighed and went off to find his place to sleep, a truce. That is what she had said, tomorrow. What would happen tomorrow?

Regan woke up and got dressed. She would see her father soon and maybe even Ace. She washed her face with cold water, why did her thoughts go to him? Sure he was attractive enough but he was too different from her. He thought of being a pirate as being free, for her it was a way to run away. She sighed as she looked in the mirror, long purple dress with long sleeves and her light purple shawl. Her hair was up in the tight bun, not a strand out of place. She grabbed her white gloves and glasses putting them on as she exited the room. "Now to find Arianna." She went out to the deck where a fight had broken out.

"Now, now, Rosaleen," a blonde taunted to the tall red headed swordswoman, "is that the best you got?"

Rosaleen laughed and tossed her long red ponytail back, "You wish Arianna, the day a bimbo like you could beat me is the day pigs will fly!"

"You tomboy!" Arianna yelled as she shot at the other girl. "You can't beat me you soulless red head!"

"You air head!" Rosaleen replied as she swung at the girl who blocked it with a leg.

"You orc! If I hadn't placed metal plates in my boots you would have chopped my leg off!"

"Arianna, Rosaleen." Regan called out as she walked up between the two girls. The two cast a dirty look at the other than sheathed their weapons. "Rosaleen go whip Ivy and Rose into shape, I need to borrow Arianna."

Rosaleen nodded and went off leaving Arianna with Regan, "What?"

"Chesha wants you to accompany me to my father's ship."

Arianna perked up a bit and grinned, "I would love too! I get to see Whitebeard! It has been such a long time."

Regan sighed, she had almost forgotten Arianna held nothing but admiration for her father. "Ya ya, let's go."

Arianna grinned and tossed her long blonde hair back, "Regan, how do I look?"

Regan turned to look at the girl who was wearing tight tan pants tucked into midthigh high brown boots. She also wore a tight white button down shirt that she had tied under her breasts showing her thin tan stomach; the top of the shirt was also unbuttoned for anyone to see her cleavage. "You look improper."

"Perfect." She smirked as she strutted off making sure her walk showed her tightly toned body off.

Regan held back a groan, why Arianna had join was beyond everyone on the crew besides her captain. For someone reason the two had an understanding, despite the hatred Arianna held for women. Regan followed the girl to Whitebeard's ship and followed her up the plank. "Arianna!" A loud voice called out that she recognized to be her father. When she made it on deck the giant man called out her name. "Regan!

"Hello father." She replied as she saw that Arianna was already beside her father. "How have you been."

"I've been fine, I'm glad you agreed to see me."

"Well I figured I needed to talk to you at some point and since now seemed so convenient for you."

"Now Regan," Whitebeard said with a sigh, he knew his daughter had been hurt but he thought she had gotten over that when she had agreed to meet him. "If you are still mad at me why did you come see me?"

Regan crossed her arms and looked away from him, "My captain sent me over. She left no room for discussion."

"That Chehsa, whatever am I going to do with her." Whitebeard sighed thinking of the hellion. "I had meant for her to ask you, I didn't want to force you over here." He sighed and then offered his daughter a seat, "Come sit and join us."

Regan sat down beside her father, his opposite side taken by Arianna, "Hey Whitebeard, what have you done lately? I haven't heard anything exciting."

Whitebeard laughed at the girl, "I've been letting my new additions to the crew get comfortable. Can't have them fighting the rest of the crew in a dangerous situation."

Arianna nodded and then turned to a guy beside her, "Hey I'm thirsty, do you think you could get me a drink?" She asked as she licked her lip delicately.

"Of course!" He said as he ran off to get her a drink.

Marco laughed as he sat down beside the girl, "Still like manipulating people to get what you want?"

Arianna rolled her eyes, "Your more annoying than a woman." She said crossing her arms until the man came back with her drink. She turned to him and touched his hand, "Thank you so much handsome." She said her voice dripping with honey. The man nodded and walked off in a daze. Arianna held a smirk on her face as she took a drink, "I love men."

Regan just shook her head at her crewmate; Arianna was enjoying all of her attention. "She's attractive." A familiar voice said from behind her.

Regan turned around to see Ace sitting beside her with a grin. She narrowed her eyes, "What are you doing here?"

Ace placed a hand over his heart and gave a mock frown, "That wounds me, have you forgotten I'm part of your father's crew."

Regan blushed, how could she have forgotten? "Of course not, I was just wondering why you are beside me? I told you the truce was over."

Ace just chuckled, "I'm pretty sure you are supposed to behave while you are here. You don't want your crew to have to fight Whitebeard do you?"

"He's my father."

"He's our captain." Ace said and then grinned at her, "So why are you on another pirate ship other than your father's?"

Whitebeard overheard the comment and slapped him on the back, "Now then Regan, this is one of my new men, Ace. Ace this is my daughter Regan."

"We've met." Regan replied coldly, "I believe you saved him from Chesha, before she squashed him."

Arianna looked over and looked him over, "Oh so this is the man who challenged Chesha the other day."

Ace smirked as she gave him a one over that he returned. Unlike Regan she definitely looked like a pirate, but at the same time she looked breathtaking in her tight pants and revealing shirt. "Ya, I didn't realize what I was signing up for, but I look forward to a rematch someday."

Arianna winked at him, "I'll be sure to watch sometime. I heard you're quite hot when you fight."

Ace smirked at her, "What can I say, I am on fire."

"Let me cool you off." Regan muttered as she formed a ball of water over his head. The ball of water landed on his head that quickly started to evaporate and she just gave him an innocent expression when he glared at her. "I was worried you would burn up into a pile of ashes."

Whitebeard just laughed and patted his daughter on the shoulder, "Now then, I haven't been able to ask you, but how long have you had that devil fruit power of yours?"

"I've had it since I was six. Right after you left the village after one of your secret visits."

"How did you know about those?"

"Oh please, I may have been a child but it is obvious when a man of your size appears once in a while and stalks you and your mother while they are in town."

"Did your mother know?"

Regan couldn't believe this man, "Of course she knew! How could she not!"

Whitebeared looked at his daughter and smiled, "You are starting to act like yourself and not the little lady."

Ace looked at Regan and had to agree, apparently her proper self was a fake self that she like to wear. Arianna laughed at her crewmate, "Regan your mask is cracking."

Regan stood up and glared at them before walking away. Whitebeard sighed, he had angered the girl again, "Where are you going."

"I'm going for a walk, I'll be back later."

Ace watched her leave and turned to see Arianna motioning him to come to her with her finger. He walked over and sat between her and Marco, "So your name is Ace?"

"Yes, I am and you're Arianna." Ace replied coolly as he leaned to his side as he talked to her. "You are quite a beautiful woman, what made you a pirate?"

Arianna just laughed the question away, "I am quite beautiful." She touched his arms and made a small design into them, "You are quite muscular." She said using her honey sweet voice, "Want to have a wrestling match? I wouldn't mind being pinned by you." She said with a wink.

Marco just laughed at the girl, "Don't listen to her Ace, her nickname is Man-Slayer Arianna. She's quite the little devil, using her delightful looks to drop the guard of any man and then she slays them on the spot with one of her many weapons."

"That's enemies Marco," She snapped back as she picked her drink back up. "Honestly, I was trying to be friendly and you just went and ruined my good mood."

"Marco don't be upsetting Arianna." Whitebeard laughed out as the girl gave him a big smile, "Now Arianna, don't be trying to seduce my men of my ship."

Arianna frowned, "I would never! You're my favorite. Besides what good would they do on the Devil's Kiss? Chesha would just throw them off, she would have no use for them."

"It would be better she did that then let you suck out their souls."

Arianna turned around and went to kick him only to have Marco catch it with ease, "Your not as strong as your Captain."

"Oh really?" She asked as she shifted her leg a way to have small knives appear everywhere, "Be careful wouldn't want you to get cut."

Ace looked at her in surprise, "So you can fight?"

Arianna gave him a coy smirk, "Want to try me? I'll take off my weapons. Granted I'm not that strong and I'm not a hand to hand fighter, but I know a little."

Ace shook his head, "No I have fought enough of your crew to last me a while."

"Too bad. I think we could have some fun." She said with a wink as she brushed a strand of hair out of her face. "So what made you join with Whitebeard?"

Ace grew serious and looked away, "I was forced to join." He saw he had made Arianna uncomfortable and quickly apologized, "Sorry, so what do you do on your ship?"

"I'm the sniper." She said with a grin and pulled out one of her guns, "I'm an expert with firearms, however I know enough to be able to defend myself if I was to be disarmed."

"So you don't actually fight, you just shoot people from the background."

Arianna snorted, "Are you kidding? I like to get up close and personal with my targets. I have some secrets hidden so I can fight in close quarters. Unlike you I can hold my own against my captain."

Ace handed her a new drink and watched as she downed it, "So can you tell me about Regan?" Arianna knew more about Regan and as long as he spoiled her he could find out about Whitebeard's daughter and the unique crew she had joined.
