The Unknown Pirate

Ch. 16

We climbed onto the Moby Dick, the crew stopped what they were doing and stared at us. "Hey guys, guess who's back!" Ace called, climbing up and turned around to help me up. The ship roared with greetings. "Hey who is your friend? She's a cutie," a man with pineapple like hair asked. "This is Annabelle  Newgate, whitebeard's daughter, " Ace said. "Um. . . Hi?" I said, giving a slight wave. "Ace, bring her over here to me, boy," a voice boomed over the ship. "Right this way, Annabelle," Ace said, guiding me across the semi-crowded ship. We stopped in front of an extremely tall man." Annabelle, Whitebeard; Whitebeard, Annabelle," Ace said. "You have your mother's eyes," he said, leaning down from his chair to look at me." Thank you," I said, slightly bowing." None of that bowing mess, come give your father a hug," he said, holding out his arms. My eyes water and I hugged him. "I thought I would never see you again, a pirate ship was no place for a baby, so your mother decided to take you to her home island. I was going to quit and settle down with you two but, she knew how much becoming the pirate king meant to me, so she told me to continue on. You were still a baby when you mother died, it was a terrible day that day. A good friend of mine, Shanks, saved you and took you to the inner most part of his territory and you were raised there," he said, setting me on his knee. "How did my mother die?" I asked, wiping my eyes. "Marines, she was gathering knowledge and documents about Pluton and what the World Government was planing to do. The government found out about it and issued a buster call. She wasn't able to escape but, she was able to get you out to Shanks, who gladly decided to help and took you with him," he said. "She sounded like a great person," I said. "She was, she could make the room light up with a smile, like yours," he said." What was it that you needed my help with?" I asked, getting back on topic. "Ah yes, we are almost finished with the plans for the revolutionary, we need one more thing, the match that will spark the flame of rebellion and that's where you come in," he said. "What can I do?" I asked
