Cell: Scenario #2 – Room (MarcoxAce)

It wasn't the first time. Well the note was a little different. And the fact that it came from a marine. It was fairly subtle too.

To whatever unfortunate person is associated with Portgas D. Ace,

Come pick him up. He's supposedly sitting in a cell in my brig. It would be bad for him if I were to remember he was there.

- Commodore Smoker

He assumed this Commodore Smoker had Ace write the address for the bird to deliver since it was a pretty tricky route to reach Whitebeard's fleet ship. He could tell Ace's writing apart. It wasn't messy, big, childish, or chicken scratch like many others were. It was…just Ace's, smiley face included.

Marco looked at the letter he had taken and read the message. Scratching his head he huffed in laughter showing Jozu who smirked at it. Sitting down he reached for the deck of cards when a voice called out.

"Marco! Go get him now." Whitebeard said having read the letter beforehand. There was hint of amusement to hint deep and loud voice.

"Fine Pops. I'll go get the little retard."

"You can take an extra day. Get him to pay you back for your work." Whitebeard said as the crew chuckled at Marco's predicament.

Two days and a night later…

Marco had found it suspiciously easy to sneak aboard the Commodore's ship. He honestly has expected at least some resistance. The tall commander was now standing in front of Ace's cell, the fire user leaning against the wall with a shit-faced grin on his face.

"Hi Marco." He said, not bothering to stand up due to the seastone chains around his ankles. Marco expertly picked the lock, opening the door and stepping inside.

"I don't get it how these things happen to you yet no one seems to kill you."

"Must be my charm."

"It's something all right." He said grabbing the chain and pulling the skewered end out of the wall.

Grabbing the chains he pulled them (and Ace) close to him, pulling the younger one up and on his shoulder.

"Why don't you just unlock them and leave these chains here?"

"They I wouldn't have anything to tie you up with."

"Whoa, hold it. If you wanted a quickie, then let's do it in the cell, and then you can unlock me and we can split up." Ace negotiated as Marco walked out of the cell and back to his own skiff.

"If you want a cell you can wait till we get back to the ship."

"Oh…kinky."
