Beginning of a dream always starts with treasure hunting
Ace POV
The morning sun rises like every morning. It shines it light down on the crappy shack like usual but this time it different. This time the bright light breaks through the crack of Dandan hut only to wake a very new little brother. The light shines on tiny close eyes waking a very tiered Ace. He yawns as he sits up rubbing the sleep away from his eyes. Was all a dream? Do I have big sis? Ace looks to the side and blinks as there something hiding under his blue blanket. My blanky! Ace puffs out his tiny cheeks as he crawls over slowly to pokes his blanket. He watch it twitch for a second. Monster! Ace jumps back and watches to see if the monster moves again. Ace looks around to find any weapon but there nothing for him to use. Maybe nice monster? Ace walks back and pokes the blanket again. It twitches again and a little head with messy blond hair pop's out.
"Ahhhh! Monster!" Ace screams as tiered eyes open up to reveal bright violet eyes.
"Shut up brat! We are still trying to sleep here!" Dadan screams from below them causing Ace to cover his mouth with his hand. Opps. I wake the beast. He looks back and smiles as the monster under his blanket was none other than Aiko. Ace walks closer and squeaks as he finds himself under Aiko who has this huge grin across her face.
"I'm a monster? I will show you monster!" She starts laughing as she starts to tickle Ace all over his tummy. Ace closes his mouth as he tries to hold in his laughter. He turn and twist to try to get away only that exposes his back. Ace burst out laughing as Aiko tickles the side of his ribs.
"Ahahhah stop! Ahahah Pleas! Ai hahahah Stop!" Ace tries to say between laughter. But all fun things have to come to an end when something bang the ground below them.
"Oi! If you are going to be loud get the hell out of my hut and go outside!" Dandan orders angrily as she grumbles loud brats under her breath. Ace grins liking that idea more and more with every second.
"Yaaaa! Let's go play!" Ace quickly go to his corner where all his cloths are. He looks through his cloths to find something that might fit him since everything starting to get to small for his growing body.
"Oi! I forgot! Garp drop something off for you two brats! Finally doing his fucking job more like it!" A huge bag is thrown into their room. Ace looks at the huge bag and walks over. Hmmm….What in bag?
"Shall we see what jiji left us?" Ace looks up at a smiling Aiko and nods. Yaa! Gift! Ace grins as he watches his sis pull out new cloths. He watches as shirts, shorts, dresses, and Pj are being pull out. My new cloths? Ace smile slowly falls as new girly cloths is being pull out one after the other. Ace frown turn to a pout and his stomach hurt as Aiko reaches in deeper into the bag only to pull out a bag fill with girl brush and toothbrush. What about me? Ace rubs his eyes. Boys don't cry! Ace repeated in his head as Aiko digs deeper to the now almost empty bag with a vengeance.
"Don't cry Ace! I'm sure jiji left you with new cloths to!" Aiko cries out as she snatches a single letter that crumple at the bottom of the bag. Ace wipes his eyes harder. Mean old man! Ace bites his lip as he tries to hold his tears back but it hard when your stomach turns and your chest feels tight. Ace grabs onto Aiko as he buries his face in the two big of a shirt. Aiko opens the letter but it not like they could read it. Not fair!
"Come on Ace. Let ask mommy about the letter." Aiko soft voice calms him down a little and he pulls away looking down at the ground. Stop crying! Not baby! Be sis propeter. Ace keeps a hand on her shirt and together they climb down the ladder somehow without falling.
Dandan POV
Dandan is trying to start the fire so she can start cooking for her boys and now girl. She would never admit it but Ace is hers and somewhere deep down in her heart she does care even if she never shows it. Slowly but surely, Aiko is slowly wiggling into her heart too. They better bring back a big catch or they are only eating rice for breakfast. Dandan grumbles as she stacks wood on top off paper when little feet come into her view. What now?
"Mommy…Jiji left a not at the bottom of the bag. Can you read it to use pleas?" Aiko voice causes Danda to smile only to frown at the word mommy. As she looks up and stares at the two brats, she lets it slide. She watches as Ace hold on Aiko shirt tightens as she holds the paper up. What did that bastard do now? Her heart twitch a little as she watch Ace hold onto Aiko a little tighter.
"Fine! Give me that!" Dandan snitches the paper and opens it. Her eyebrow twitches as the writing piss her off with every word she reads.
"What does it say?" Aiko ask again and Dandan takes in a deep breath of her morning nicotine. She lets it calm her nerves before letting the smoke escape her lips.
"The bastard wrote to my granddaughter. I hope you like the new cloths I left you. I had someone at the base to buy you some since I had no idea. The bandits better be treating you nicely or else…" Dandan sighs as she glares at all the laughing he puts in it. She can just hear him now. Dame bastard should be taking care of these kids.
"Also I hope Ace is being nice to you. As for you Ace. Your cloths I hid them among the forest! A strong marine has to go out on scouting missions and find stuff. Love your jiji. Stupide bastard." Dandan crunches up the note and throws it in the fire. Marine my ass. She looks down to see Ace pouting.
"I don't want be marine. Be free!" Ace declares as he crosses his arms. On the other hand Aiko looks really angry.
"Ya! I don't want to be a marine either! I want to be free too! Too many rules and Jiji meanie!" Aiko crosses her arms and glares at the ground. Dandan grins as she looks down at her two brats. As if they would be marines…if anything Ace will become a pirate like his father and Aiko….A bandit! Dandan grin as she pokes the fire.
Aiko POV
I can't believe Jjji would do that?! I thought he was nicer! Aiko pouts as they went back up the ladder to get change. She watch Ace go to his corner and glare down at his cloths. I walk over and put a hand on his shoulder. Ace doesn't move and just continues stare at his cloths.
"Not fair." Ace voice causes Aiko heart to cry. He sounds so sad and angry.
"Why you? Not fair!" Ace says louder as he grabs his cloths and throws it across their room. Oh Ace. Aiko wipes her eyes as they start to water. She grabs him and pulls him into a hug. Ace wiggles in her arms to get away but Aiko is much stronger and just holds him until he calms down.
"Your right Ace. It not fair…You know what?! Let's go pirate hunting!" Ace looks up into her eyes and Aiko grins brighter than the sun. Pirates. For some reason it sounds like home.
"Pirate?" Ace ask and Aiko nods. Her smile grows even more if that even possible. She rushes back to her corner to change.
"Ya! Pirates are free to do whateber they want! They free and we keep all the treasure! Let's go find your treasure! You can be captain!" Aiko now in shorts and a simple red t-shirt with a flower on the front. She turns back around to see Ace change into his own too short shorts and too small t-shirt with a grin and a new determine look.
"Arrrr! My treasure! Let go!" Ace runs down the ladder almost falling off. Aiko just laughs as she follows after him. Ace stops and pats his tummy.
"Food first!" Ace points his hand up and Aiko nods.
"Ya! We need to be eat first! Mommy when breakfass!" Aiko ask just as Dandan place the food on the ground.
"Come get it and stop calling me mommy!" Aiko just lets her words fly over her head as she rushes and grabs as much meat as she can. She watch someone push Ace down to grab some meat on a stick. A new protective feeling comes over her and she grabs her locket. Somewhere deep inside her, someone telling her to protect him. She glares at the bandit and runs at the man.
"Don't hurt my brother!" She screams as she kicks him in the bawls. She nods in satisfaction as he squeals and falls to the floor with tears down his eyes. That what you get for hurting my little brother! I turn back to see all the food gone and Ace has meat in each hand with a smile. I have two too so it tied today.
"Arr! Let eat outsbe!" Ace points his meat stick up and runs out the door. I giggle as I follow right behind him.
"Brats get back here!" Dandan screams as we rush into the forest. Fat chance! I better keep an eye out and remember this time on how to get back. Don't want to get lost again. Ace stops and sits under a huge tree that blocks the morning sun. I love the way the forest smells clean and I grab seat next to him. We eat in silence and I throw my bones away.
"Arr! Where now?" Ace ask as we look around. My eyes land on a bag under a tree in front of us. That easy?
"Captain! Look first treasure!" I point at the bag and Ace cheers as he runs over to pull it out. He pulls out some new shirts that are a bit too big for him but Aiko watch Ace smile as he looks back into the bag.. Well it a start. Ace then pulls out a piece of paper.
"What it say Ai?" Ace hands me the paper and I open to see a bad drawing of…bees? On the top corner it says 2/5. I show him and Ace frowns.
"I know! Bee owwie". Ace grabs my hand and I grab his first bag of treasure as he drags me along.
"Sis ok? God scary!...But I propect you. Right?" Ace keeps walking as his huge eyes look back at me.
"Ya. You did Ace. You protected me." I watch him grin as he starts to pull me along faster. We stop at a huge pond just as a huge fish jumps out. My eyes widen as I feel Ace little hand lets go. That was a big fish! Looks yummy! I take my eyes off the pond too look at Ace who is now pulling out another bag with a grin. He opens it up and I giggle as he pulls out new underwear and shorts. He open a new paper and I don't even know what that is. On the corner there a 4/5.
"Hmm….Are those animal?" I ask and I watch Ace roll his eyes.
"No! Dump!" Huh? Ace grabs my hand again and I grab his second bag as he drags me along. We start to follow a path and I smile as we pass all the pretty flowers. As we get closer to the edge the flowers start to wilt and a rotten smell starts to go up my nose. I plug my nose and scrunch up my face as the smell gets stronger. Where is Ace taking me?
"Why is it so stinky here?" I ask as Ace pulls me through some bushes. I look down and gawk as there a huge pile of garbage surrounding this huge wall. I wonder what inside?
"Dump!" Ace says as he pulls me down.
"Wait! That yucky!" I stick out my tongue as we start walking through the pile of trash. I grab Ace as I watch someone stab someone else and rush off with a necklace. My eyes widen as I pull Acce closer to my body. This bad place!
"This place is danberus! Ace lets go leave." I turn around but Ace just pulls back.
"No! Pirate neber scared! Pirates find treasure!" Ace screams as he pulls back. I groan as I stop to look at him.
"Fine but don't let go of my hand. I don't want you to get hurt!" Ace nods as he pulls me along. We start digging along the crap for a bag. I don't know how long we dig but somehow we find the bag we are looking for. It was behind a cardboard box and broken bike. It better be worth it!
"Hey kids! What do you have there?" We turn to a scratchy voice. He a tall man with stubble and sunken eyes. He wearing a rip shirt and pant as he eyes our bags with want. He smells worse than the garbage around us. I nervously grab my locket as I bring Ace closer. I watch him hug his bag as we slowly back up.
"It our treasure! You can't have!" Ace screams and that not what you tell an ugly guy who grinning by the second.
"Treasure eh! Why not give it to me. I would know what to do with it then some snobby brat. Give it here boy!" That man grins showing his broken and yellow teeth. Yucky.
"Back off ugly!" Ace screams as we turn and run for it.
"You little shitter!" The man screams as I feel Ace slip from my hand. I turn around to see the man has Ace bag in one hand and him in the other.
"Let him go!" I scream as I run at sir ugly but only to get kick across the solar plex. My head hits something and someone voice pops up. Now little love. When you are fighting someone stronger then you, you have to run! But mama! What if they have my bro? My voice sounds small as the other voice sends a warm blanket of comfort through me. Then you find one of us. But what if no one there? The man sighs. Then as a last minute thing you grab a weapon. Hit them as hard as you can and run! Your safety always comes first! I don't know what I would do if I lose you my little love! The voice vanish as I sit up. I look around and find a pipe beside me. Perfect! I get up and grab the pipe that heavy in my hand but also feels so right. Aiko rushes and hits the man in the arm that holding Ace. He falls to the ground as the man screams in pain. She waits no time and hits his other arm which drops the bag. Aiko points the pipe at his head and glares at him. Ace grabs the new bag and hugs it as he hides behind me.
"Leave us alone!" Aiko voice sounds so strong and for reason she can't understand yet. The man pales and runs away as fast as he can because to him...He stared down a replica of the strongest man in the world but in a smaller girl form. As the man ran away from that little girl somewhere far in the grand line Marco and Newgate felt like very proud parents. Aiko watches the man run for his life and grins as she drops the pipe. She turns to her little brother and quickly look to see if he hurt. The only thing she notice is he is holding his bag closer to his body.
"Ace are you ok?" She ask as she takes a step closer.
"I want to go…you ok?" Ace ask as he looks at her head.
"Ya….let just leave." I grab Ace hand and we run as fast as we can out of the garbage death trap. As we rush through the forest the fresh forest smell relaxes me. Ahh that smells better. We stop at a clearing and drop our bags.
"Sis…I so scared! Thank you." Ace cries as he hugs me. I hug him back as I start to shake.
"Me too!" We sit down and together we cry. Our tears are a mix of our fear leaving us and relief that we are alive!
"I got a piece of memory back. My mama a guy." Ace looks up confuse.
"Mama a guy?" I node.
"Yup and I felt so safe hearing that voice!" I chirp as I get up only for Ace to stay latch to my side.
"No! You can't leave! You my sis! My sis!" Ace yells so loud that the birds fly from their homes in the trees.
"That right! I am your sis! Your little love." Ace eyes widen and nods.
"My little love." Ace grins as he pulls me over to the bag that cause us so much trouble. He opens it up and he finds everything you would need for fall and winter. So worth it!
"Wow! Now no cold!" Ace cheers as he pulls out a red jacket. I help him put it on. It a little big but by winter it will fit him. I grin as we put it back but grab the new note. Ace opens it up and it only has a big 5/5.
"Buzz. Buzz now." Ace puts out his lips but grabs my hand and drags me once again.
"Hey Ace. How do you know where everything is?" I ask as he leads me through the forest.
"I live here. Home." Ace says as he shrugs his shoulder. Ok then. I follow him as we come to a new tree and high up you see a beehive and few feet below is Ace bag hanging on a branch. Jiji nuts if he wanted Ace to climb up that! No way bro!
"Stay here. I will get it. Watch our stuff." Ace nods as I go to climb up the first branch. I get a few feet from the ground before I hear something in the distance. I look down and notice Ace trying to stuff his bags under the tree roots then start to climb up the tree. What is he doing!
"Ace what are you doing?" I scream as he climbs like a monkey. Just as he joins my side a huge black bear with a scar over his eye comes into the clearing. My eyes widen as my blood runs cold. I grab my brother and we move behind the tree to hide. I let Ace put his back against the tree as I cover him. We look out and watch the bear stand on his hind legs. He huge! The black bear swipes at the tree hitting the hive and Ace bag. I cover Ace mouth as we watch the bear swat the bees away and grab a big chunk of hive in its mouth. It continues to swat as he rushes out of the clearing. We stay silent to make sure the bear completely gone and my heart has slow down. I pull back and look at the bag that lay innocently on the ground.
"Well…Be quiet. We don't want that bear to come back." Ace nods as we slowly climb down. Good thing we did not go to high up. We land safely and walk over to the bag. We open it up to find all of Ace new shoes of all sizes.
"Well….that useful to have." I look up and Ace nods with a yawn.
"Go home. Pirate wants nap time." Ace rubs his eyes and I don't blame him. I am tiered too. We collect our bags and I let Ace lead the way. I would hold his hand but it full of Ace new treasure. We are still missing one. I wonder were number one bag is. We make it back and the dog gone and there Ace bag. I grin as I rush over and pull it out. It the lightest of all. It a green bag with black lines. I open the bag and pull out an orange cowboy hat with red beads around the top. I turn it around and there a blue happy and sad face.
"Wow! Gimmy!" Ace cheers as he puts the too big hat on. He giggles as it cover half his face.
"To big!" Ace laughs as he puts it back in the bag.
"Maybe it your special pirate hat!" I say as we walk back to the house.
"Huh?" Ace ask as he turns to me.
"You wear it on the day you become a pirate and set sail! To be free!" I put my hands up and Ace nods.
"YA! I wear when I leave. My pirate hat!" Ace grins as we walk into the hut. I grab Ace bag with the hat back stuff inside and walk up to Dandan.
"Mommy! Can you keep this bag safe! Just until Ace leaves to be pirate…Pleas!" I give my best doggy eyes I can. I look over and Ace is copying me. I watch Dandan blush and snatch the bag.
"Fine! The day I give it back is the day I am free from you brats! Also go take a bath! You reek!" Dandan grabs us and throws us into the bathroom that has a tiny barrel that smaller then me but perfect for Ace size. I watch the steam leave the water. I get out of my cloths and turn to see Ace eyes widen.
"Where your pee pee?" Ace ask and I scratch my head.
"I'm a girl. You are a boy….Don't know but I do know that it not important. That just how I am." Ace nods as he climbs into the water. I follow behind him and bring the soap with me. He squeals as he splashes water at me.
"Gararar. Ace stop!" I laugh as I splash him back. We start a water fight and end up with half the water out of our mini barrel. We clean up and by the time we leave all we want to do is sleep. We leave that bathroom and climb to our room. I smile as all of Ace bags are put in his corner but the one with his hat. We lie next to each other and fall into a slumber full of future adventure and danger.

Star and Kit-chan: ENJOY FOLLOWING THE SHINY!
It been five months since the Whitebeards pirates been blessed with little Aiko. In those five months she has woken up the crew up throughout the night that some of them would rather sleep outside in the cold or rain to get away from her crying. She has gone through formula faster than Thatch can make it. Which has question if she is a D but their captain not so how can she stomach so much food! And Marco done more diaper duty then he can take. You wonder how is Newgate helping in all this since she is his daughter. Well he has/force to learn how to change diaper. By the way which is very hard when you have huge hands but he learn and is a total prow now. He feeds her almost all her formula almost every meal. The only time he does not is when the nurse tell him to rest or captain duty is needed. And she will only nap in his arms or Marco. Through all the trouble she has cause, the crew still loves her to bites. Even through all the pooping and crying they just can't get enough of her. She is a fast learner and can already pull herself around deck so no one can take an eye off her because who knows where she will be next.
Thus today will be different. Of course it starts off normal. Marco gets her up and changes her, her dad feeds her, has her morning nap, and now she on deck enjoying the warm sun under an umbrella because Izou refuses Aiko to get burn and destroy her nice skin. Thus Aiko under an umbrella, on a soft blanket, chewing on some poor toy, with Marco by her side. Aiko on her belly and watches Marco or to her mama talk to someone. She looks around and something shiny catches her eyes. She coo as she gets on her knee and arms to follow that shiny thing. It turns out to be a Haruta sword glimmering in the sun light. She follows the glow and she finds herself where food comes from. She stops and sit up as her stomach grumbles. She claps at the sound which cause Haruta to stop to turn to that sound.
"Oh shit! How you get here little Ai?" Haruta walks over and picks up the bundle of love. Aiko squeals as she is lifted into the air.
"Shhhh. Shhhhh. Shhhhiii" Aiko tries to say Aiko word which only causes her to pale.
"No Aiko! Don't say that. Mama! Try mama!" Haruta tries to convince her sister to say but all Aiko does is repeat Shhhhiiiii over and over again. That is until her stomach grumbles again. Aiko giggles and claps her hands at the sound.
"Hungry hu? Well since I did come for snack why don't you join me." Aiko squeals as the smell of something yummy comes in the air.
"Yo Thatch! Can I have a snack? Little Ai hungry too!" Haruta ask as she walks into the kitchen. Aiko awws at all the shiny things and watching her family cook. Her smile widen when Thatch walks over with a huge grin. She reaches out for him to grab her.
"Wow! Ai I am going to drop you!" Haruta stumbles with the baby in her arms. Thatch laughs as he grabs her and lifts her in the air.
"There my little love! Come to visit me huh?" Thatch grins as he holds her in his arms. Aiko watches Haruta talk to Thatch only to eye the shiny object on the table that just in her reach. She reaches over and swats the brown handle. The object moves closer to the edge. Aiko pouts as she swats it again bringing it even closer to her. To her it another toy but to others it a butchers knife that cover in meat that Thatch was cutting for dinner. Aiko lets out a cry as she uses both her hands to try to reach for it only for new hands to grab her as the butcher knife falls to the floor.
"Aiko! No! That bad you could have hurt yourself! Now how did she get into the kitchen! I was looking for you everywhere!" Aiko can tell her mama is mad at her and starts to cry.
"I found her in the dining room. Her stomach growl so I brought her to grab a snack!" Haruta mumbles as she looks down at the ground realizing how much of a bad idea this was. Marco sighs as he rocks Aiko in his arms to calm her down.
"It dangerous to bring a baby into the kitchen. And Thatch I hope you watch your hands before you grab her yoi." Marco sighs as being here is not the right place to calm her down plus he already has a snack for Aiko ready. He walks outside back to their play area. Marco gently rocks her back and forth calming her down.
"Aiko look here. I have your favorite! Smash Avocado mix with sweat potato!" Aiko looks over and claps her hands as she watches her Mama scoop up something yummy.
"Ahhhh!" Marco says and Aiko follows. She squeals at the yummy taste.
"Sssshhiiiii! Shiiiii!" Aiko tries to say again which cause Marco to freeze.
"Aiko what are you trying to say yoi?" Marco ask as Aiko hands reach out for the food. He gives her a new spoon.
"Yaaaa!Yaaa!" Aio tries to say her mama favorite word only to come out wrong. She grins as Marco chuckles.
"I must be hearing things! Ahhhhhh yoi!" Marco says again as he finishes the food. Aiko claps her hands as she eyes the pile of shiny. She cooo as Marco cleans her face.
"Now you are all clean and time for us to have a nap! You have had quite the adventure today yoi!" Marco picks Aiko up who only scrums in his arms. She tries to reach for the pile of shiny as Marco passes it.
"Guy! Put away the weapons! How many times do I have to tell you? If Aiko outside no weapons on deck yoi!" Marco watches the pirate agree and starts grabbing them all up. Marco continues on and Aiko continue to move in his arms.
"Calm down little Ai. It nap time." Marco tells her as they reach their room.
"Ssshhhiiii! Shiiii!" Aiko says again angrily and Marco freezes. He lifts her up and looks up at her.
"Now who teaching you that! That word better not be your first because so help me someone growing over bored! Oh yes they are yoi!" Aiko squeals in the air and claps her hands. Marco sighs as he places her in her crib. She moves around until finally she falls asleep.
"Now my turn. Sleep well Aiko." Marco smiles as he too lies down for a much needs nap of his own.
Star-chn watches Kit-chan sleep on the floor.
Star-chan: That what you get for eating to much sweet! Anyway I wanted to say before I forget the One Piece own by Oda and goodnight!
