3rd pov

Ace sat on the deck of the boat, although he knew that it always pissed off his grandfather he didn't really care, the breeze was nice and the sun kissed his skin making it shine. I think anyone could agreed that he was good looking— he ran a hand through this tangled black locks.

" I'm hungry- "

He jumped up to his feet and made his way towards the kitchen. Unaware of what's to come-

————-

Whitebeards crew made their way around the ship. They had to be smart about this they couldn't just go head first towards enemy ship, that's suicide especially not when Ace is on guard, that boy was hell on earth.

" Marco my boy "

He turn to look down at him, same Facial expression as usual- nothing really worry him he could be in the face of danger and he'd still have a calm demeanor- it scared him sometimes.

" yea pops? "

He turned to look at him with determined eyes.

" I need you to turn into a Phoenix and be our eyes for this mission son we can't have any slip ups. Too risky and I'd hate for something I happen to my children."

Marco nodded. His " brothers " meant everything to pops- they were his whole world, he'd remember once when Davy had slipped on the deck and almost fell overboard, he swore he could see pops life flash before his eyes, he'd never seen the man so angry scared and relief all at once.

Marco waisted no time to activate his Devil fruit, he sorted through the sky's in disguise, he had a gut feeling that this was going to end bloody- but he persevered. Anything for pops!

" Ace! Dearly! Come for another meal??? "

The old lady said as she served a plate of spaghetti and steak. She had a charming personality and overall was very motherly towards Ace.

He could feel his mouth water as he franticly nodded.

She chuckled and served him in his usual large plate. With veggies on the side and some water.

" THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! "

He shouted as he stuffed food in his mouth, she chuckled and wiping his face with a napkin

" now now Ace no talking while your mouth is full, we don't want Captain Garp to scol you again. "

He rolled his eyes at the mentioning his grandfather he loved the guy- but he could be a real pain in the ass sometimes ESPECIALLY ABOUT DATING and girls- gross.

Outside the ship men where cleaning around the deck.

" uhhhh hey- "

His partner turned to look at him.

" yeah?? What is it "

He gulped-

" I don't want to be that person- but I think we're under attack- "

His partner laughed.

" the hell!? Do you mean! "

" uhhh turn around- "

He was meet with a punch to the face by one of white beards sons.

" ALRIGHT! YOU GOVERNMENT RAIDED ASSES! WERE IS PORTGAS D. ACE!?!? "

Before anyone could talk they started invading the ship, men vs men unfortunately for Ace his crew wasn't very- well trained nor experienced in combat, if anything they would be considered rookies at best they can't even sweep the deck correctly.

" SOUND THE ALARM WORN CAPTAIN ACE OF THIS QUICK- AHGGGGGGG "

The crew mate was cut of to a blow to the head he was thrown across the wall where Ace had been eating, Whitebeards crew scattered around the boat was huge- so finding him would turn out to be a bit of a challenge.

Ace looked at the whole in the wall- ....well then....

The frail old lady hid behind the counter as Ace stood up and walked over to his subordinate, immediately he identified him as Billy- stubborn as hell and clumsy as fuck but had a heart of pure gold.

He picked him up by the collar of his uniform and asked.

" billy....what the hell is the meaning of this...."

The time of his voice sharp and demanding like a captain should.

Billy barely conscience grab a wholes of his captain clinging on to him as if his very life depended on it.

" W-Whitebeard....w-we are under.....attacked-"

He collapsed in Ace's arms. He glared down at the ground, although he was furious at first when he was given to be the captain of a bunch of weakling- he had actually grown to love them all....those night at the campfire in the middle of the ocean singing to old treacherous waters- getting to know each and every one of them, their ambitions, their goals, their dreams. This wasn't just an invasion it was an attack. A personal one at that.

The laid him down in the foot far away from all the chaos going on outside his eyes burning with rage, he turned to give Nancy the sweet old cook a gentle look.

" please watch over billy I have to deal with a bunch of savages outside. It won't take long I promise. "

She nodded immediately calling for the nurses.

Ace made his way outside the light immediately hitting him. As if he had stolen the spotlight everyone turned to look at him. His subordinates cheering in joy and laughter of relief seeing his face.

He removed his long coat that he used as a cape and toasted it on to a near by men who was down, Rick....he was bleeding very heavily but he was sure that he be ok and if not...at least it covered his face from what is about to happen....

Whitebeards crew stood in absolute horror- they were supposed to find him not the other way around.
Marco himself was taken back by all this- most of the time his plans work out but this was different- they were dealing with something else.

More silence rang in the air when Ace took off his long white coat. His Haki was extremely heavy- not only did it make it bad to breath but hard to stand-

" w-what- the hell- my lungs- feel like they're burning...."

This- is not good.....
