Hello everyone, here is the next chapter
This is another small interlude
Hope you enjoy
Read and relax
Ace moved away from the sword, but it still hit his shoulder, grazing him. It was a seastone sword, so it made a wound, but it wasn't a bad wound. The battle then rounded up as they won, a few getting some serious damage and was led to the infirmary. But as everything calmed down, Jozu frowned at him. "Ace, you're bleeding." Ace blinked, before he remembered the wound, shrugging as he looked at it, knowing it wasn't too deep. "It's no biggie." Jozu nodded. "I know, and the infirmary is probably full, but let me look at it. Take your sweater off." Ace blinked, before he felt his insides grow cold. Take his sweater off? He couldn't do that. Ace shook his head. "No no, it's nothing. I'll just look at it in my room." He tried to say and play it off as nothing. Jozu shook his head. "No, don't be a brat, let me look." Ace didn't know what to do or day, he couldn't take his sweater off. There were so many out, and just a few knew about his scars. He didn't know what to or say to get away. And he was just about to run away with his powers, just shoot away as a flame, when Marco took a step towards him. "It's okay. I can handle it, yoi." Jozu frowned. "But it's just a minor wound." Marco nodded. "Which is why I want to handle it. I have what I need in my room. What will you dress it with? Your sweater, yoi?" Jozu nodded. "True, you handle this." Marco nodded and moved a hand behind his good shoulder, moving towards his room.
When they got there and Marco closed the door behind them, Ace moved a hand to his chest. "Oh God, I was so worried I needed to take my sweater off." Marco nodded, moving over to his desk. "I noticed, and I think you don't want them to find out like this. Now, let me see that wound, yoi." Ace nodded and took his sweater off, looking at the wound himself. It wasn't a deep wound, so he didn't want to head to Bay. Marco then got some bandages out and quickly cleaned it before he dressed it. "By the way," Said Marco. "Have Bay seen this, yoi?" Ace shook his head, and it had Marco hum. "How? She has everyone new in for a check up, yoi." Ace nodded. "I kind of know that, but she never asked me. So I just never went." Marco nodded. "I think you should go to her, and have a check up. Always good to know what healthy you are, yoi." Ace nodded, he got that. "I should probably. Do you think she will care about…" Marco shook his head. "No. Or a bit, she will probably check and see if you have any permanent damage, other than the scars. She's probably seen this before, yoi." Ace nodded, that made him feel a bit better. "I shall try and head there during the next week." Marco nodded. "Good good. You should do it as fast as you can. She will be understanding, yoi." Ace nodded, that was good to know. He hadn't been much around Bay, as she was always in the infirmary, when she was not with Pops or out prowling the deck for Pops.
And that's the chapter, hope you enjoyed
