Whitebeard sat with Ace in the captain's room, the clock just past midnight. He had found Ace outside and asked him to join him in his room, which he did. Ace had sung a song, nothing too special, just a song Ace liked which wasn't about anything special, just a nice song. As they were talking, Ace sighed. "That island we're heading to, I've helped them before, and they never call me by my name, and I hate it." Whitebeard nodded. "I can have a talk with them." It was somewhat an island he controlled after all, having been there a few times. But they could really stand up for themselves. Ace nodded. "I would like that." He would do his best to make them stop. He didn't fully control them as they really could stand up for themselves, the reason they rarely were there. Ace stayed with him for a couple more hours, just speaking, before he left for his room. And he headed to bed himself.
They then docked two days later in the morning, and one of the men on the dock came on his boat and looked at him. "We heard you have him with you?" Whitebeard had a feeling on who he meant. "Who?" The man was about to speak when Ace came from around a corner and the man lifted his hands as he looked at Ace. "Hero!" Ace sighed. "Please don't call me hero. Almost anything but hero." The man gave a small groan. "Come on, Hero!" Ace gave a sigh and moved his hand to his nose, and Whitebeard looked at the man. "He has a name." The man frowned. "Which is Ace, the Hero!" Ace sighed. "You know what? I'm heading back to bed, too early for this." Ace then headed away and just before he rounded a corner, Trevor did. "Hey, where are you going?" Ace moved his hand up. "Back to bed." Trevor frowned. "Why-" Trevor turned his head and saw the man and gave an 'ah'. "You're here early and already annoyed Ace? So bad he's actually going back to bed? Wow. You work fast." The man blinked. "Why can't I call him by his name!" Trevor deadpanned. "Because you're not calling him by his name, but hero, which he hates." The man blinked. "But he is a hero!"
Trevor sighed. "He hates it. Please stop." The man blinked, before he looked at him, and he nodded. "I agree. Stop it." The man gaped. "But I am not doing anything wrong!" Whitebeard shook his head. "You are. He doesn't like it. I would really appreciate it if you would stop this." The man huffed and crossed his arms. "Fine! I will try. I will inform everyone of it." That sounded good. The man then left, and when he was gone, Thatch looked at Trevor. "Why does he hate it? Hero sounds cool!" Trevor sighed as he shook his head. "Because, Ace doesn't view himself as a hero. At the most, he views himself as a helper. He doesn't want to be seen as a hero, because he doesn't see himself as a hero." That made sense and had everyone nod. And he was sure no one would comment on it. When Ace got back out a few hours later with Marco, no one commented on it and none from the island called him hero, which was good. Ace seemed happy with that.
They then left a day later, before they headed on. This time, they headed north, which they never had before from here, which would be interesting. Ace did say that there were some islands here that devil fruit doesn't work, but it wasn't anything too bad. They then docked again a week later, on an island by the phenomenon where devil fruit didn't work. It was just surrounding a few islands there, but they had never been here before, but he had heard good things. But as they had been docked a few hours, Haruta and Thatch, who had been on the island, had gotten in some fight and gotten injured. Not too badly, but they did need Bay. Both had some deep wounds. As they were in the infirmary and been there for a bit, Whitebeard moved to the infirmary, some others joining him. Haruta was out of surgery, and now it was Thatch. It wasn't anything big, just some stitches and he was even awake for it. It would take some time though, as it was a deep wound and Bay wanted to make sure it was clean and was checking it. But he was sure things would go fine as Bay didn't seem worried.
As they were speaking with Haruta, glad she was fine, he heard some ruckus outside and was about to go check when the door burst open and Ace came inside, a hand on his side. "Bay! I need you!" Bay gave a huff. "Give me a sec!" Ace gave a stumble, and he was sure something was wrong with Ace and was on his way to stand up and go to Ace, when he moved over to Bay and grabbed something from the table beside her, the surgical table and moved to slide down next to the wall and saw Ace had grabbed a scalpel and moved his shirt up, where a red wound was on his abdomen, seeming to be a small stab wound of sorts, and Ace moved the scalpel to it, and it had Bay move her hand out. "No! Don't do it, Commander Ace!" Ace didn't seem to care as he moved the scalpel into his side and cut himself open with the scalpel and gave a groan as he did. And as he had, Ace breathed heavily, before he moved his other hand to the wound and dug it inside with a loud groan. By this point, Bay had asked Whiskey to take over on Thatch, while she ran to Ace, but as she was just a couple steps away, Ace moved his hand out of the wound and threw something to the ground, making him blink and Bay falter a bit. Something was inside him. Ace then breathed heavily and in pain, before he slouched over and hopefully just passed out.
Bay then got the few remaining steps to Ace and crouched down next to him, looking the wound over, before she bared out. "Tifa! Get numbing medication! Commander Curiel! Help me get him to the table!" Curiel nodded and did, and when Ace was on a table, Tifa came with a syringe and Bay injected the contents into Ace, by the wound, before she looked more closely at it. "Clean wound. Something good. Tifa! Check whatever the thing he had inside him was! And be carefull!" Tifa nodded and did, carefully lifting the thing up, frowning. "It's a syringe. Something red in it. Half full." That really wasn't good. "What is inside it?" Asked Izou, and Whitebeard had no idea. Bay gave a sigh as she worked on Ace. "My guess, poison, or something like that." That probably made the most sense. The question was who put it there. After a few minutes, Bay gave a breath. "Nothing more inside." Bay then started to close the wound, which took a few minutes, before she hummed. "There. Now, he needs to wake. Shouldn't be too long." That was good.
Bay then gave a huff. "I am also done with surprises, so if everyone could just leave so I can work, would be great." Whitebeard nodded, even though a few shook their heads, but he said they should, so they all headed out to deck. When they had been out for a bit, Trevor came from around a corner. "Anyone seen Bunny? Can't find him." Whitebeard sighed. "We were in the infirmary, when Ace came and asked for Bay, then he just cut himself open and dragged something out of himself. A syringe with something in it." Trevor blinked. "Let me guess. Something red?" Whitebeard blinked. "Yes, how did you know?" Trevor hummed. "A poison on this island. Nothing good." That did make sense. Trevor then looked at them. "Why did nobody help him when he came in?" Whitebeard blinked. "We didn't know he needed help." Trevor frowned. "Didn't you say he asked for Bay?" Whitebeard nodded, not sure if that was a hint at something.
Trevor hummed. "Life lesson; if Ace says he needs Bay, or a doctor, or help, just anything like that, something is seriously fucking wrong. If I heard that, I don't care what I am doing, I would drop everything and just go to him and see what is wrong, because something is." That did make sense as Ace never asked for help. "I should have thought of that." Trevor nodded. "Yup, you should have. This island has some issues with some bad people. Ace probably tried to fix it and got in the crossfire." Whitebeard frowned. "I thought this island was good?" That was what he had heard. Trevor sighed. "The leader says so, but he is a part of the problem." Whitebeard blinked. "Oh." Trevor nodded. "Yes, 'oh'. Don't believe everything he says." Whitebeard nodded, he wouldn't.
Things were calm for a bit after that, but when half an hour had passed, Tifa came out and seemed glad to see Trevor. "We have an issue." Whitebeard didn't like that. "What's the issue?" Tifa sighed. "Thatch is fine. But, Ace just ran off." Whitebeard blinked. "What? He is hurt!" Tifa nodded. "Tried to stop him, he wasn't having any of it and just ran off." Trevor nodded. "That actually sounds right. Probably going to find the person who did this to him." That did sort of make sense. "But he is hurt." Trevor nodded and moved towards the island. "Still, this is Ace. I'll go search for him." Whitebeard nodded and stood up. "I'll head with you." More of the commander and a few others also did, heading after Trevor.
They then headed on the island, following after Trevor. He had a feeling Trevor had an idea where to look. They then headed up a small mountain and came to a small camp, where some people were, who looked at them. "What!" Trevor hummed. "Know where Ace is? I have a feeling Ace is fighting with you." One of the women nodded and looked to her left. "Get Ace on a line." So, they knew where Ace was. Trevor nodded. "Where is he?" The woman, who seemed to be the leader, looked at Trevor. "Killing the insane doctor here." The insane doctor? That didn't sound good. Trevor nodded. "That is probably the one who put poison inside Ace." The woman nodded. "Yes. We almost had him, but he was waiting for us. An ambush. We almost lost one of us. We tried to help Ace, but he ran off towards your boat. Said something about that being closest." That made sense. Trevor looked at the woman. "Where is he?" The woman was about to answer, when someone came with a Den Den.
The woman looked at the Den Den. "Ace, whe-" The Den Den started speaking before she was finished. "Clara! Not a good time!" It was ended with some coughing. That didn't sound good. The woman, most likely Clara, gave a huff. "Your friends are here. Worried for you." The Den Den coughed some more. "Tell them to wait!" Clara hummed. "No. What's your location?" The Den Den coughed a bit before clearing its throat. "East of the harbor. Right up on the doctor's trail." Clara nodded. "Good, we'll meet up. We all want a piece of this doctor." The Den Den sighed. "Fine. The station east of the harbor. I am almost on him, he's hiding behind poison." That also didn't sound good. Clara nodded. "See you soon." They then hung up and Clara gathered everyone who wanted to go, before they headed to where Ace was.
When they got there, it seemed silent, and just as he was about to speak, a door burst open and Ace came running out, some red smoke coming from the doorway, and Ace was coughing, leaning himself on his legs as he was a bit away and Trevor headed over. "Hey, you okay?" Ace held a finger up, as if asking them to wait as he coughed, before he cleared his throat and got his breath back, and moved a hand to trevor shirt and took a lighter out, a zippo one, and lit it and then threw it at the doorway, and as soon as it touched the red smoke, it ignited and blasted. It had Ace give a breath. "Oh my god, I hate that poison." Whitebeard moved a hand. "Are you okay? You just ran away when you woke up. You should relax." Ace frowned a bit. "Why?" Whitebeard blinked. "You were just in surgery." Ace shrugged. "Meaning I am fine." He was just about to speak when Ace coughed again, it was just a couple ones, before Ace got his breath back. "I hate that poison. I killed at least 10 of him. Damn thing makes you hallucinate." That wasn't good. Trevor blinked. "And you had it inside yourself?" Ace nodded. "The way from where I was back to the boat was absolutely horrible." That he could imagine if he was hallucinating.
Clara then took a step forward. "So, the doctor is dead?" Ace nodded. "Yes. Was going to save him for you, but no, it didn't happen. Sorry." Clara shook her head. "The most important thing is that he is dead. Now, we're going for the president." Ace hummed. "I've never killed a president before." Clara hummed. "Well, now is your chance." Whitebeard blinked. "You're going to kill the president?" Clara looked at him. "Oh, you mean the man who has raped and enslaved our land? Yes, I might be thinking about that." Whitebeard blinked. "He is that bad?" Ace nodded. "Yes, he is." Whitebeard moved his hand towards Ace. "Maybe you should relax a bit?" Ace hummed. "No, I feel fine." Trevor moved his hand. "You were just in surgery, Ace." Ace shrugged. "And? Your point is?" Trevor blinked. "I don't actually know what my point is." Whitebeard looked at Ace. "I still think you should rest, Ace." Ace hummed. "No, I have a president to kill. After I kill him, I can rest." Whitebeard blinked. "I don't think that is smart. I think you should rest. You just had a syringe of poison in you and had surgery. You should rest." Ace shook his head. "Nah, I feel fine." Whitebeard didn't know what to do, Ace should relax, but he was obviously not listening to him.
Trevor looked at Ace. "Ace, are you sure? Are you good to go?" Ace nodded and looked at Trevor. "Yes, I am. After this, after he is dead, I will relax all you want." Trevor nodded. "What do you need help with?" Whitebeard blinked. Trevor was going to let Ace go? Ace nodded and made a motion to Clara, who got a map out, and Ace pointed on it. "Here, here, and here. Each has a general, working for the president. We start by taking them out, then we go for the president. Trevor, you take this one to the east. Mika, west, if you want to fight, Whitebeard, you take north. And I, I head for the president. We all hit at once, so the forces are spread and not everywhere." Trevor nodded. "Great plan." Trevor then looked at him. "What do you want, Whitebeard? Want to fight?" Ace looked at him too, and he could feel everyone was looking at him. He could probably take a captain's order to make Ace stop, but Trevor accepted this, so he nodded. "I will help." He wanted to help, if Ace said this man wasn't as good one, he would believe him.
They then got a plan to follow, and it sounded to be a good plan for everyone, using their abilities and what they could do to make this work. Hopefully, they won't lose anyone. As they were about to start, a few were unsure about this, feeling scared they would lose this, which had Clara shake her head. "No. I am not asking you to be fearless, we're not asking you to be fearless." Ace nodded. "She is right. Fight with us, and we will change the way this island works, we will make a change for the better, get a better one in charge." That had all of them raise their weapons and cheer. They all then went to their positions, and when they all were, speaking to each other on the Den Den, and when everyone was ready, they all moved, Ace waiting a bit so the forces would leave, before Ace went for the president here, the leader.
And it went by fine, a few got injured, but they didn't lose anyone as far as he knew, and as they were nearing the end of the battle, the speakers around them came to life, and he could hear Ace on them. "The president is dead! Stop fighting for someone who is no longer alive, don't make us shed more blood!" The TVs around them showed a picture of a dead man, who was most likely the president, who had a gunshot wound in the head. It had almost everyone stop fighting, a few still did, but they were quickly dealt with. Then things calmed down and they all said to meet up at the camp, which they did. When he got there, everyone was there but Ace and those who went with him, but he soon showed up and had a machete. "This belongs to the president, and will go to the one person I believe will manage to fix this island." Ace then handed the machete to Clara, who took it with a bow. "Your words make me more sure. We will do our best." Clara then lifted the machete. "The revolution has started!" Everyone cheered and he had a feeling this island was going to change for the better if Ace trusted this person.
They then went back to the boat, and when they got there, Ace looked at Trevor. "Let me guess, I need to relax?" Trevor hummed. "Unless Bay clears you." Ace seemed to be thinking for a minute, before he shook his head. "I'm not taking chances with Bay." Trevor nodded. "3 hours." Ace looked at Trevor. "1 hour." Trevor hummed. "Meet halfway; 2 hours?" Ace nodded. "Deal." He then shook Trevor's hand, before Ace headed towards his room to relax, Marco following after, who had been with him. As Ace was gone, he looked at Trevor. "Is 2 hours really enough?" Trevor hummed. "Yeah sure. If not, then he will probably relax more. He knows himself well, more than I know him when it comes to this. And if I see him not being fine, I will carry him to Bay." Whitebeard wasn't too sure about this. "Maybe he should go to Bay?" Trevor shook his head. "No, Ace said no, that means no. Let Ace relax, and then we can have Bay do a quick check. But he is fine I think." That was good to know. Trevor then hummed. "I also wonder what was in Ace's mind on the way to the boat with the poison, since it makes you hallucinate. I know his mind is a bit messed up at times, but he seems fine mentally, so couldn't have been that bad." That he hadn't thought about. But he was sure Ace was fine as he seemed fine, as Trevor said.
They then didn't see Ace for a bit, and when a bit over 2 hours had passed, Ace appeared again and Trevor mentioned heading to Bay, just to make sure the wound hadn't reopened, Ace rolled his eyes. "Fine! But it hasn't!" Trevor hummed. "Let Bay be the one to decide that." Ace rolled his eyes but went. And then reappeared after some minutes and gave a look to Trevor. "She said it was fine. Tiny bit reopened, but got a strip." Trevor nodded. "Perfect." That was good. They then stayed on the island for a few more hours, Clara coming to thank them for the help before they left, which was nice, and she made a promise that next time they appeared, things would be better, which was good. He felt he had done some good today, they had helped an island.
