Hi guys! Here is the next chapter!

I had a lot of fun writing this one, and I hope you will enjoy it

Read and relax

Marco moved his hands on Ace's upper body, removing his shirt before Ace removed his vest, hands feeling each other's bodies, before they got to work on their pants, until they were just in their boxers, and they moved to the bed, in a deep and heated kiss. Just as he was about to remove Ace's boxers, the ship suddenly shook, before he could hear people yelling they were under attack by an enemy boat. And Marco closed his eyes. Why now? Before he could try and tell Ace they needed to continue later, Ace, who was straddling him, stood up and gave a growl, before he just stalked out of the room, not having anything else on than just his boxers, and Ace sounded furious, and he could even see some smoke oozing from his body as he forcefully opened the door and marched out. Well, the enemy would certainly regret this.

-x-

Whitebeard looked at the enemy boat, which had hidden behind a sort of mirage, maybe a devil fruit. And they had just fired a cannon at them, which thankfully barely missed anything vital, but made the entire ship shake. As he yelled for everyone to get ready, to get ready to fight, everyone preparing to fire back, he noticed something black in his side vision and turned to see a clearly furious Ace, and a basically naked Ace, save from a pair of boxers, smoke oozing from his body as he looked utterly furious.

"Wha-" Started Thatch, but Trevor was soon behind Thatch and moved his hand to cover Thatch's mouth. "If you value your life, shut up." Thatch just nodded, and everyone seemed to get the hint that something was up and to be quiet. And then Ace looked at the enemy boat, before he was gone in black smoke, and appeared on the boat. So, they all turned to look at the enemy, who all seemed shocked to see Ace just appear on their deck, a few laughing and calling him a naked kid, before Ace went to work, first taking the one who spoke out. Ace moved to him and punched him in the chin, sending him a bit up, before Ace grabbed his leg, which was easy to grab as he was airborne, before Ace used all his powers to slam him into the deck, crushing him on impact.

The enemy stood shocked, before Ace was done with that man and then looked at the rest, and while most understood this wasn't just a strong person, but a pissed off strong person, most tried to run away, but Ace was faster, and made his way through everyone, no one being safe from his wrath, no one outrunning him, Ace plowing through everyone. Not just killing them or incapacitating them, but doing a very brutal job of it. Ace seemed beyond furious. Why was he so mad? Body parts and organs were literally flying around.

"Were you about to do the nasty?" Asked Trevor, looking to his left, where Marco stood, seeming to be a bit disgruntled as he had his vest half on and his pants loose. Marco nodded, seeming confused before he saw Ace annihilating the enemy very brutally. "What is going on, yoi?" Trevor hummed. "Ace was ready to get nasty. He got interrupted. You might think the worst thing in the world is an annoyed Ace. But no, it is not. It is a sexually frustrated Ace. I have nightmares about that." Thatch blinked, looking at the enemy who had no chance. "So, this is a sexually frustrated Ace? He is just plowing through them and killing them all wi- oh my God!" Thatch cut off as Ace had gotten to the captain, who was hiding by the helm, and Ace kicked him down, before he grabbed the helm, which was a standard wheel, and Ace placed his head between two of the handles, before he moved his leg up to another handle and stomped on it, killing him instantly by the handle going through this skull.

Trevor nodded. "Yup. If you are generally scared of Ace, prepare to be utterly terrified." Izou swallowed. "So this is normal?" Trevor hummed. "Well yeah, he doesn't like to be interrupted." That was very clear, Ace was really mad. And even though he wasn't using his powers, smoke was oozing from him, which he knew was a clear sign Ace was really mad, Trevor had said so, and now here he was witnessing it.

When the entire enemy crew were all brutally murdered a bit later, Ace stood still and took a deep breath, before he disappeared and appeared on the boat by his mark, and by now, he had a lot of blood on himself here and there. Thatch gave a small sound. "You need a shower." Ace hummed, looking at his hand which was bloodied. "Don't you know blood is a natural lube?" They all blinked, Izou speaking. "That's really unsanitary." Ace rolled his eyes. "I am joking. Like I would ever use blood as lube. That is wrong." Izou blinked. "Oh, okay." Ace nodded. "So, can I go back to what I was doing please?" Trevor nodded. "Be my guest. Have fun." Ace nodded before he left towards his room, grabbing Marco as he went and dragged him after himself.

As they were gone, Trevor chuckled. "Use blood as lube, that's dark." They all blinked, Thatch speaking. "Why is it dark? Blood is sticky as well. You can't use it as lube, and that's not counting the illnesses you can get." Trevor blinked. "You are all so precious and innocent at times. Many predators who go after victims, decide to do it anal, rather than vaginally. And why that is, is since it's easier to tear and have rifts, making blood, which acts as a lube. I have heard about, what to say, first time rapists, who decides to rape a woman and goes for the usual way, but the vagina is more robust and very dry when not aroused, which they aren't when raped, and therefore can actually cause the rapist a lot of pain and even damage to themselves. That's why many use the date rape drug, as it causes arousal, even, when they don't want to be aroused."

They all blinked, Thatch speaking. "Is that really true?" Trevor nodded. "Yeah, unfortunately." Izou blinked. "Wait, so does that mean Ace meant…" Trevor nodded. "Yeah. He basically said he would never rape anyone." Izou nodded. "Oh. That is kind of a dark way to say it." Trevor hummed. "Dark humor is gold." Well, the assassins used dark humor a lot when they spoke, even a lot they didn't catch onto. Which might be for the better at times.

And now they all knew to never interrupt Ace and Marco if they ever thought they were trying to be intimate.

Whitebeard walked out on deck late at night, as he couldn't sleep, and there had just been a small storm. It hadn't been too bad, but it had rained a lot. As he was out, he saw Ace was standing close to the railing and he had a bottle in his hand, a solemn look as he looked at the horizon, the rain having let a bit up, but it was still raining somewhat. Probably the reason Ace was out. He must have either had a bad night or a bad assignment. As he got up to the railing, he sat down as he was feeling a bit tired on his feet. And he could just change the clothes later. As he was sitting, he sent a comforting look at Ace. "Hi, son." The only response he got was a small movement by the hand that didn't hold the bottle, which was half empty.

At first, Whitebeard didn't want to speak, before he decided what he would try to say. "I know you don't like to open up. And I also know you have many reasons not to open up to others. You are extremely strong and independent, because you always had to be, I get it. And I am just a worried father, worried for my child. And that worry will never go away, because no matter how independent and strong you get, you'll always be my son and I will love you and support you. But I do wonder, are you too independent for a hu-"

Whitebeard didn't get to finish the last word, before Ace had moved and hugged him, or gave the best he could of a hug. Whitebeard blinked, actually not expecting it. At least not that fast. He then moved a hand to be behind Ace, wanting to do his best to comfort Ace. After some seconds, Ace not moving away, Whitebeard gave a small breath. "Never should you feel ashamed for needing a hug or comfort. And never will I judge you for needing comfort. And I hope you will always know that, son." Ace did nod, which was good. He knew this wouldn't just fix itself like this, but this was a start.

He stayed out with Ace for a while, before Ace said he would head to bed and went away, the bottle now almost empty. It was sad to see Ace drinking his emotions away, but there wasn't a quick fix here unfortunately. But he felt this was a start. He then went back to his room and changed his clothes, as they were wet from the rain and from sitting on the wet deck. Had Bay seen him out, she would have had a fit. Bay would soon come by anyhow, as she wanted to do her checks in the night, so no one would get suspicious.

-x-

Whitebeard watched as the weather got bad really quick a week later, the water growing more and more dangerous as waves came. There had been sunshine just half an hour prior, and now they were in the middle of a huge storm. It was almost like being in a hurricane as the water was now wild and the wind was blowing from every direction. And they were not prepared for it. Their sails were down, and they had issues getting them up because of the harsh winds. If this continued, their masts might break, they might get sent to shallow ground or to a reef, if the harsh water and wind itself didn't do the job before that happened.

This was really bad, and he could see the Moby was already having issues, the Moby couldn't handle this kind of stress, it would capsize, it was only a matter of time before it happened. They had now lost one mast, which was bad. And seeing the rough waters, they would all drown, they had no chance. The only one who might survive was Namur. But he couldn't lose hope, not now, he needed to try and save them. They couldn't die like this.

As he was trying to find a way out, he noticed Ace walking over to the railing, which was odd as everyone was avoiding the railing, in fear of a wave sending them over and to their death. Ace then moved his hands to the railing, before he closed his eyes, seeming to try and concentrate. Then Ace took a deep breath, and when he had, he seemed to really concentrate, and smoke came from his shape and slowly started to envelope the deck and cover the entire Moby. What was Ace doing?

As the smoke was all around them, everyone looking at it or Ace, Ace took one more deep breath, before he moved his right hand up and then seemed to concentrate before he moved it down back to the railing, and as soon as the hand hit the railing, everything went black, but he wasn't unconscious, but it felt like he was falling, he hadn't felt this much. Before he lost his balance as he was on solid ground again, and then looked up as he felt the sun on his skin, and he blinked, before he got it. Ace just teleported them to safety, all of them and the entire Moby to a safe place. He didn't know that was even possible.

He looked around and saw most had fallen over, a few having thrown up, all looking confused, before they got what had happened, and he could see everyone on their way to cheer, when he heard a thud, and they all looked over to the railing and he felt worried when Ace had fallen over and had hit the deck hard.

Trevor was the first one to move and went over to Ace and moved a hand to his neck, before he gave a relieved breath. "Just unconscious. Probably used up his powers. I can't believe he even managed this." Trevor then lifted Ace up, and Thatch spoke. "He's never done something like this?" Trevor shook his head. "No. Nothing even close to something like this large or with so many people at once." Whitebeard blinked. "Will he be fine?" Trevor sighed. "I hope so. I am taking him to the infirmary." Then Trevor got around a corner. He felt worried for Ace, as the Moby was extremely large and they were a huge crew, scattered around. No wonder Ace passed out.

They then started to fix what needed immediate fixing, and when everything was under control later, he headed to the infirmary, where a few had gotten some treatment for bruises and such, the worst being a broken arm, but it was a non complicated break. The only one who had a bed in the infirmary was Ace, who was still unconscious, Marco and Trevor beside his bed, Marco holding Ace's hand. Dust had also been found unconscious. Dust had probably found the place they teleported to, and made sure to be above the boat, so he could fall somewhere safe, and was put safely in a chair next to Ace, a blanket around himself.

He then found a chair and sat down, and then he chatted with Trevor and Marco, Bay coming by a few times. After a few hours, Bay came by, did some checks, before she looked at Trevor. "Has Commander Ace ever strained himself like this?" Trevor shook his head. "No. Not like this. He usually slowly drains his powers over a course of time. Never has he teleported anything this size with that many components. Used that large amount of his powers at once. The worst he has used is his arrows, and that usually makes him blind fast. Why?"

Bay sighed. "He is… very stable." Whitebeard blinked. Wasn't that good? Based on the look Marco and Trevor had, he felt it wasn't. Whitebeard looked at Bay. "What does that mean, daughter?" Bay sighed. "His pulse and blood pressure is very stable. When I do this-" Bay moved a hand to where Ace's feet were and did a thing, but nothing happened, making bay continue. "There is no reaction, a visible one or on his vitals. I've seen coma patients with more reactions than this."

Whitebeard blinked. "What do you mean?" Trevor sighed. "She means there is a chance Ace won't wake up. He should react to these things. But he isn't." Whitebeard blinked. Ace couldn't not wake up. Not after what he just did. Trevor sighed, before he looked at Tifa. "Could you run and grab a Den Den? I need to call Daisuke, maybe he or Moira knows what to do." That he hoped they did, he couldn't lose Ace like this. Tifa nodded and did.

When Tifa came back with the Den Den, Trevor called and it was answered after a bit by Daisuke. "Yes?" Trevor sighed. "It's me. Ace just teleported the entire Mody and the crew in one go." The Den Den blinked. "How? That should be impossible for him, Trevor. How is he?" Trevor sighed. "That's just it. He is… unconscious and too stable. No reaction to anything." The Den Den sighed and closed its eyes, before it nodded. "I see. Is the doctor there?" Bay nodded. "I am here." The Den Den nodded. "Good. Now, do exactly as I say." Bay nodded, and then the Den Den started naming many different drugs, what to mix beforehand, and what not to mix, and how and where to administer it.

When he had, Bay nodded. "Will that save him?" The Den Den sighed. "Hopefully, he just exhausted his powers. What I just said, should help his body restart and get his powers back so he can heal, as this most likely really took a toll on his whole body. So, instead of him being out for days or weeks, he might just be out for a few hours." Trevor nodded. "Okay, let us hope." The Den Den nodded. "Yes. Call me if anything happens." Trevor nodded before he hung up, and Bay got everything to prepare, before she administered it like she had been told. And now, they just needed to wait.

The next hours were calm. and then night came, and Whitebeard decided to stay in the infirmary a bit more, to see if Ace maybe woke up. Same did Marco and Trevor. After a while, Whitebeard felt himself waking up when he heard a sound, no idea he had even fallen asleep, and what woke him up was Trevor's voice. "For fucks sake!" Whitebeard opened his eyes and wasn't sure what he expected, but what he didn't expect, was to see an empty bed. Ace was gone. Whitebeard looked at Trevor. "Where is Ace?" Trevor moved his hand. "I don't know. I fell asleep, and woke up, and now the bed is empty." Marco had also woken up and looked shocked as well.

Whitebeard was on his way to stand up when he heard a door open and close, and turned to see Ace coming from the door to the showers in the infirmary, a towel in his hand that was drying his wet hair. Trevor gave an upset breath as he moved his hand. "Bunny! You can't just leave after being in a small coma!" Ace shrugged and moved the towel away. "Who says I can't?" As the towel was away, he could see Ace's eyes, which were completely gray. Trevor made a small sound. "And you're blind." Ace nodded. "Yeah. Not that surprised I am blind to be honest." Trevor blinked. "Well… maybe. I didn't know you could teleport something this large with that many components." Ace shrugged. "I didn't either to be honest. But I needed to try." Trevor nodded. "Well, yeah. You did. How do you feel?" Ace hummed and moved to sit down on the bed. "I feel okay. I can't see, but I'm okay." Trevor nodded. "Good, but Bay is still checking you." Ace sighed, but did say fine.

They then got Bay, who was amazed to see Ace up, and asked some questions, before she moved a flashlight out, and Ace frowned when she turned the small flashlight on. "Are you, seriously, going to flash my non-working eyes with a flashlight?" Bay nodded. "Yes, yes I am." Ace gave a small chuckle, but let Bay do her job. When she was finished, she said Ace was fine, but blind. When she asked how long Ace would be blind, Ace hummed. "I don't know. I've never done that before. Hopefully not too long." Made sense and they nodded before Ace was told he was free to go. Which was good.

Then the day went on normally. Everyone was glad to see Ace up. And a few tried to help him along as he was blind, but as usual, Ace didn't seem to have any issues as he moved by. And it was good to see. Dust was also up and about again, but didn't stay long before he flew away, probably to take requests and hand them to Daisuke or something, while Ace recovered. When they went to the galley to eat dinner, they all did help Ace a small bit to get the layout of the table, before Ace got what he wanted on his plate and got a cup. Before Ace started to tell a story about another time he was blind.

Ace spoke and continued the story, and when Ace put his cup down as he made some motions with his hands, Trevor carefully but swiftly pushed the cup a bit to the side. When Ace moved to grab it again, he seemed somewhat shocked to not find it where it was supposed to be, but found it and took it a sip, before he continued. When he placed the cup down again, Trevor once again moved it a bit, and this happened for the next 3 times, before Ace tried to grab his cup, but it wasn't where he had left it, so Ace sighed. "Okay, who's moving my cup!" So Ace figured it out.

Trevor gave a small hum, which was odd as he expected Trevor to laugh, when Trevor spoke. "Yeah, Thatch. Why are you moving his cup?" Thatch, who was sitting next to Izou, who was next to Trevor, froze in his place as he grew white as a sheet in horror, before he tried to form a sentence, but just kept stuttering and sputtering. Yes, Thatch was the famous prankster, but he didn't target Ace at all, still scared to do that.

As Thatch tried desperately to say he didn't do it and to place the blame where it belonged, Trevor moved his hand carefully towards Ace's cup, which Ace had put down again as he looked towards Thatch, probably another reason Thatch had issues speaking. But as his hand was just about to touch the cup, Ace did in one swift movement, grab a knife and stabbed Trevor's hand, pinning it to the table as it went straight through, shocking them all, and Trevor moved his other hand to the injured one. "Bunny! Why!" Ace shrugged and took his cup. "Because you tried to put the blame on someone innocent."

Trevor moved a hand to the knife and pulled it out, before he cradled his hand. "You didn't need to stab my hand!" Ace rolled his gray eyes. "And you didn't need to continue to move my cup. It's not that bad. Just head to Bay and have her stitch you up." Trevor gave a breath. "You're mean today." Ace gave a glare towards Trevor. "And I wonder why." Trevor chuckled. "Okay, fine. I deserved it." Trevor then headed towards the infirmary and they all just sat shocked. Thatch then found his voice. "You knew it wasn't me?" Ace hummed as he took a sip of the cup. "I wasn't a hundred percent sure on who, but the moment Trevor spoke, I knew. And I knew it wasn't you, you are too scared to do that, at least multiple times, on purpose." Thatch blinked. "Y-yeah."

The meal then continued on, Ace grabbing a few things with some help, and just grabbed things he could eat with his fingers. As Ace was eating some sliced sausage he had on his plate, and was soon done with as there were just a few pieces left, he blinked when a hand put more sausage on his plate, and turned to see Marco having a sly smile. When Ace then ate one more, Marco put one more on there. When Ace had eaten them all, just taking the last one, Marco put one more sausage there. And as Ace went to grab some of the filled pasta he also had, he blinked when he felt he had more sausage and took that one, which Marco quickly and quietly replaced, while he was having a conversation with Ace.

When Ace moved his hand to the plate again, and found one more sliced sausage, and he took it and ate it, Marco replaced it. And as Ace had eaten it, and moved his hand down again, Ace spoke as he cut Marco's sentence off. "If there is another piece here now, because I ate the last one, I will-" And Ace's hand reached the plate, where yes, another piece was, Ace moved a hand to his face as he laughed. "Who is giving me food?!" No one answered at first, before Izou spoke. "No one is." Ace blinked. "No, someone is! I have eaten the last piece 4 times! Okay, fine, fine. I'll just eat my pasta then."

And then Ace went to the other side of the plate, before he started to eat his pasta, and Marco moved a hand to Ace's plate, and carefully removed the filled pasta while Ace ate a piece, before it was all gone, and when it was, Ace laughed as he felt around on his plate. "Stop it!" He said as he laughed. And as Ace was feeling around his plate, Marco carefully took a piece of the sausage he had removed and placed it where the pasta had been. And when Ace's hand went back over there, Ace blinked, before he laughed more. "And now there is more sausage! I want pasta!" Everyone was trying very hard not to laugh with Ace, as Ace was laughing as he was confused.

When Marco tried to add in one more piece of sausage, Ace managed to grab his hand. "Aha! I got you!" That made Marco laugh. "Oh no, I've been caught, yoi." Ace nodded. "You have! And face your punishment!" Said Ace with a laugh, before he dragged Marco, who was on the other side of the table, towards himself, shocking Marco a bit, before Ace also leaned forward. "Which is the kiss of doom!" Then Ace kissed Marco. That was a very cute display of affection, which was very rare to see from Ace and Marco. When they parted, Mika hummed. "Ace, did you forget you are in the galley with everyone?" Ace nodded and looked a bit embarrassed. "Yep." That made everyone laugh, even Ace.

Then they continued the meal, and Ace got to eat in peace now, Marco changing their plates as Marco now had all of Ace's pasta, and they all had smiles. When they had eaten, they went outside to relax in the good weather. Ace and Marco by the railing speaking to each other, and Trevor came out after a bit with a bandage around his hand, but seemed to be in a good mood. As Trevor came out, Mika said what had happened after he left.

And that made Trevor blink as he looked towards Ace. "What! Why do I get stabbed when I mess with you, but Marco gets kissed?!" Ace hummed. "Since you kept inconveniencing me by moving my cup. Marco gave me food. And he didn't try to blame someone." Trevor gave a huff. "Well… fine! I wish I could have seen that. It sounds so cute." Thatch hummed. "One of the cutest things I have ever seen." Trevor groaned. "I wanted to see it! Bunny! You never show affection in public!" Ace hummed. "Yeah, I forgot I was in public." Trevor blinked. "That's even cuter! You two need to be more affectionate! While with us! Because it is so cute!" Whitebeard did agree a bit, but also knew that was out of character for the two.

Ace hummed. "Then you shouldn't have messed with me and gotten stabbed." Trevor sighed. "Fine, you win. But I deserve to see a kiss!" Ace rolled his gray eyes. "I will not just-" Ace didn't get to finish as Marco moved over and dipped Ace as one did at the end of a dance. Marco hummed. "Why not give in, yoi." Ace gave a laugh. "Why should we give Trevor what he wants?" Marco hummed. "You know what, you're right, yoi." And then he stood up with Ace and let go and went back to his relaxed stance. Trevor blinked. "Oh come on! Kiss!" Ace shook his head. "Nope." Trevor hummed. "Oh, you wanna play this way? Two can play this game." Trevor then started to clap his hands, and with each clap, he yelled "Kiss!" And he could see the others out on deck got the hint and started to clap or stomp their leg on the deck as they also started to chant "Kiss!" Even Whitebeard joined in.

Marco hummed and looked at Ace. "I think we lost, yoi." Ace gave a sigh. "Yeah, I guess. But this time-" Said Ace as he moved to grab Marco and this time Ace dipped him. "I am on top." Marco blinked, before he smiled and gave a chuckle. "Not complaining, yoi." Then the two kissed, which made everyone cheer. When the two parted, both had a smile as they went back to relaxing against the railing, although they still held hands.

Everything was good for now.
