An Eternal Bond

Whitebeard

This sucks.

That's all that was going through my mind as I sat on the foreign pirate ship, tied up by sea prism stones. I thought that it was kind of better than being on that stingy boat.

Kind of.

But I wanted my sword back. Well, Law's sword. But my name was engraved on the handle, so my sword.

Either way, I didn't quite appreciate the fact that they were playing around with it.

"Would you mind maybe... not throwing it around?" I furrowed my brow and leaned back. Can they all just suddenly set on fire?

And they did. Blue fire, to be exact.

"Okay... wasn't expecting that." The man landed on the ship, and I swear he was just this giant blue Phoenix. He turned and saw me, causing him to run over.

"Damn, wasn't expecting to see a kid here."

"Well, I wasn't expecting the pirates I wanted to catch on fire to actually catch on fire."

He chuckled. "You're a lot calmer than I expected you to be." He unchained me and helped me up.

"Thanks. To be honest, I'm kind of used to this."

"Aren't we all?" He looked at all the passed out pirates. "I knew these guys were up to no good. But you didn't seem to know them."

I walked up to the pirates and took back my sword, attaching it to my belt. "Anyways, are you planning to kidnap me too and try to bring me to the marines?"

"Why would I do that? Aren't you a kid?"

I walked off and came back with a wanted poster. I could either jump into the ocean or follow this guy. That was the question. "Does this look familiar to you?" The man examined the paper. "Oh... What does the 'copy cat' at the bottom mean?"

"First, tell me your name. It gives me a sense of trust."

"Marco."

"Alright, thanks. Stay still for a second." I walked up to him and poked his chest, since that's all I could reach. He was pretty tall. "Now step back."

I shut my eyes and my arms were engulfed in blue flames. "That, is what copy cat means." My arms turned back to normal. "Ow, ow, ow, okay."

"Careful." He smirked. "Okay, I get it. So, where should I take you back to? Where's your home."

I was silent.

"Oh..." Marco sighed. "Alright, hop on my back. Or can you fly?"

"I can fly." I started floating and took his hand. "Where are we going?"

"A place better than this."

•••

I gasped a little bit once I saw where he was taking me. "Is that a pirate ship...?"

"Cool, right?" He signalled for me to stop floating and the two of us landed.

"Hey Marco, welco- Who's that?" A person with brown hair and a scar next to his eye walked up to Marco, immediately noticing the... extra cargo.

"Hey Thatch. This is Y/N. Do you know her?" The so-called Thatch shook his head. "Never heard of her. Why would I? She's a kid."

"Oh, I've heard that way to many times." I muttered.

"Introduce yourself." Marco instructed gently.

"I'm Y/N L/N, the copy cat. Nice to meet you." I smirked as my hand turned to aqua flames, making the whole crew turn their heads.
