Ace stirred. He felt a pair of eyes looking down on him. I'm not alone. This feeling…. It's not familiar. He laid down and didn't move. He felt a hand softly caressing his face. This made him opened his eyes and jerked his head from the hand. He saw a man wearing a chef suit looking at him with hands raised in the air. The man chuckled.
"Eh? Sorry for that kid. It's just that, you're too adorable hehe."
The fuck? Who is this perverted psychopath?! Where the fuck am I? My crew... Did they escaped? Fuck! I need to find them!
Ace jumped at the man and draw his knife into its neck. The man started to wriggle under him. He felt a slight pain in his neck. The knife created a small cut in his skin. He cussed.
"Look, I meant no harm. I just wanted to see if you're awake since you've been already out for two days already." Ace didn't removed the knife on the man's neck. Instead he pushed the edge of the knife on the man's neck drawing a blood. The man shouted.
"Ah! You're in the Moby Dick! Whitebeard wants you to be our brother that's why you're here! Fuck! Let me go already bro!"
Marco was busy giving order to his brothers. He was planning to visit the new kid that Whitebeard brought two days ago. He was surprised to see that it was Fire-Fist Ace. The crew wandered why Whitebeard is bringing him in the Moby Dick. Whitebeard laughed and told them that the kid will be their new brother.
He gave his last order to Jozu when they heard a cry, followed by loud splash.
"Thatch fell overboard!" Marco didn't bother to looked overboard knowing it was Thatch. He proceeded to the kid's room when he saw a boy holding a knife, and covered in flames emerged from the room. He was struck with amazement and awe.
Wow. This kid is beautiful. Marco thought.
Ace's eyes roamed around. Damn I need to find my crew and get out of here! He felt another pair of eyes looking at him. He looked at the man. This is no ordinary man and I feel like this man is strong. Engaging an attack is either futile or lethal.
Marco looked at his eyes. He saw a lifeless eyes. For others it will send shivers down their spine but for Marco, it send nothing but doubts, questions and pity. He then remembered.
"You're awake. I guess you're the one who send Thatch swimming early in the morning yoi." Marco expected a response or even a question but the kid just looked at him.
Hmm... he's not talking?
"Your crew is here. I can take you to them if you like yoi." He turned his back on the kid. He knew this is a very bad move because the kid might stabbed him in the back.
Ace doubted the man but sheathed his knife and followed him. While walking, all eyes are on him. He didn't mind it because all he cares is seeing his crew. They've arrived in a poor lighted room with metal bars on one side. He heard a clanging sound of chains. Realizing where they were, Ace run towards the metal bar hoping to see just even one of his crew.
"Ace?" Ace lit his fist on fire. It made it clearly to see. He saw his whole crew shivering and huddling together. His first mate run towards him and held his flaming fist. Ace felt a cold hand holding his hand.
"Ace! How are you?! Did they treated you well?" Ace nodded and spread his fire on the room. The crew saw the face of their Captain. They cried their Captain's name. Watching the scene of the Captain meeting their crew, Marco smiled and leaned on the wall.
They loved their Captain so much huh. Too bad, they're going to find another one. Speaking of, I haven't heard his voice. Is he mute?
Marco took the keys out of his pocket and throw it in Ace's direction. Ace glanced at him before he took the key and opened the prison door. By the time the door opened, the first mate hugged him tightly. Ace hugged him back. His other crew wrapped their arms around them.
"Cap! We've missed you so much!" Ace nodded and hugged his crew tightly before he let them go. He looked at his crew and notice most of them scathed and wounded. His first mate suffered more injuries than the rest of the crew. He touched one of the first mates crew. Gentle as he was, the first mate slightly tensed. He stopped. The first mate saw the fist of Ace began to clenched.
"It's alright Cap. We got beaten up trying to save you. But it's ok. We know you suffered more than us."
Marco stepped in the conversation. "Sorry for the interruption. Your ship is ready. You may leave now." Ace glared at the man. He draw his knife and walked towards the door. He signaled his crew to follow.
They've reached the deck. The crew of the Moby Dick were currently scattered in the deck, but still watching them exit the ship. The first mate called Ace.
"Cap, it's our ship." He then pointed their ships direction. Ace nodded. As usual, he lit his finger on fire and write his orders in the air.
'Let the whole crew go first'
"No problem." The first mate guide the others to their ship. As the last crew got on the ship, Marco appeared.
"You forgot something yoi. You can't leave this ship. Not without Whitebeard's order." The first mate draw his sword and pointed it at Marco's direction. He glared at the man.
"We will leave this ship with our Captain." The only response that he received is a sighed. He thought they will let them go, but a chef pushed him overboard. Luckily, he fell on some of his crew members. Jozu held Ace is his arms. Ace struggled. Vista pulled the ladder. Marco set their ship on sail. The crew of Ace wailed.
"Captain!"
"Ace!"
Ace hit the back of his head on Jozu's face. Not expecting the attack, Jozu let Ace go. Ace flee and stood up in the railing of the deck. He jumped. His crew called his name. But their hopes were crashed. Marco turned into a Phoenix and caught Ace. He dropped Ace in the Moby Dick's deck. Ace stumbled in the hard wooden floor. Still, Ace got up.
I can't stay here. My crew needs me! He run towards the railing again and was about to jump when he saw his ship were no where to be found. The Moby Dick sailed quickly making him lose his crew. Again, he caught by Vista in his arms. Vista pinned Ace into ground but he back off when the kid set himself on fire.
"Damn! That was a close one. Marco! Mind calling Pops?!" Marco entered the scene.
"No need. He's coming out yoi."
