Fire And Flame

Chapter 10

Y/N picked up the note that was laying on their giant fluffy bed. They carefully opened the folded piece of paper afraid of what was written on the other side. Once you opened the note, you instantly regretted it. You couldn't even read the note because this persons handwriting was absolutely terrible. Though it was a faint memory, you remembered Marco telling you Ace had terrible handwriting and boy oh boy was he right.  After taking hours to deceiver what in the hell was written on the paper, you finally decided to receive help from the crew. It was like playing a game of charades. Instead of acting out a scenario, everyone was trying to make out what the note even said. The note got passed rounds around the ship before it finally got to Marco.

Marco studies the piece of paper along with you and the entire crew guarding around his beach chair. Marco looks up from the note after what seems an eternity. He has a total serious expression. You start getting nervous as to what he found written on the note. Marco opens his mouth slowly to speak, you and the crew biting your cheeks in anticipation as you can't take a minute longer of the pineapple heads silence.

"I'm gonna need another round of sake to even be able to find out what the hell language the kid even used to write this," Marco said closing his eye's chucking as the crew had looks of sad puppy dog eyes from his teasing.

"YOU FUCKING ASS," Y/N said, reaching for the hair he had left.

"HELP ME. THATCH PLEASE!! MY LUSCIOUS HAIR IS ABOUT TO BE RIPPED OFF!!!" Marco screams trying to swat their hand away.

"Screw you, Marco. Deal with Y/N on ya own." Thatch says turning his head pouting as he was one of the many who were excited to know what was on the note.

"THE NEXT TIME YOU COME TO ME FOR SHAMPOO TO STOP YOUR HAIR FALLING OUT, YOU BET YOUR ASS IM GONNA MAKE YOU BEG!" Marco shouted as the entire crew gasped and looked at the now furious Thatch.

In a second, Thatch and Y/N both tag-teamed the pineapple head showing no mercy.

-Timeskip-

After the assault towards Marco sufficed, you all decided to get back to business regarding the note.
Whilst you all were discussing who should have a turn with the note to try and make-out what it said, Whitebeard emerged from underneath the deck, quietly yawning.

"What are you kids up to out here?" He asked adjusting the cap on his head from the nap he had.

"Oh, hey dad. Ace left me a note on my bed and none of us know what it says, so we're trying to figure it out!" You yelled from across the deck.

Whitebeard then chuckles. Everyone turning towards him, curious as to what he knows about the matter at hand.

"Did any of you ever think to ask him?" Whitebeard said, trying to hold back a grin from his children's stupidity.

Everyone's mouths formed into an 'O' shape as a lightbulb clicked in everyone's head. Whitebeard then laughs at their expressions, taking a seat.

"The only thing is, we don't know where he is!" A crew member shouted.

'Crap! We were all busy trying to figure out what the note said that nobody knew where Ace was!' You thought.

"If it helps, Ace had mentioned there was something he needed to see for himself in town. Something that caught his attention from todays paper." Whitebeard said.

You, Marco, and Thatch hopped off the Moby Dick and made your way into town, on a hunt for a freckled face, shirtless man. 'What was so urgent he needed to see?' You thought.

As you were thinking, a sudden shake from Thatch snapped you out, revealing a new Wanted poster sent out from the Marines. Everyone in town was talking about it. Pushing past the crowd to make your way up to the front to see who this newby pirate was. You nearly choked on your breath. 300,000,000 Berry?! You look at the name of the pirate. It read 'MONKEY D LUFFY'.
