Ace's perspective
I was trying to cook, and was failing miserably. I heard the door open and I saw her. She had short, black hair and freckles. She had gray eyes and had antlers combing out of her head. She had a round face and a round expression.
She laughed when she saw the mess. I smiled and started to laugh too. She cleaned up my face and we cleaned the mess up. "So... what's your name?" She asked.
"Oh. It's Ace!"
"My name is Echo."
I nodded and she taught me how to cook. I still messed up some, like flour exploding in my face, things like that. I eventually got it and she made some soup. I had made an entire fish.
She was proud. We brought the food outside and put it on the table. We had made other things too, we just had to do two trips. I carried the food while she carried bottles of sake.
That night was glorious. We drank and ate. Me and Echo ate the most though. I was surprised that she ate so much. She was very skinny. I could tell she had the D initial.
Whitebeard called Echo over. She asked me to come with her, that she was nervous still. I agreed. Pops is intimidating to newcomers.
"Well, Echo, we can get you back to the Red-Haired pirates in about 2 weeks or so. I'll try and see if I can get a message to him." Echo nodded and asked if he saw any of her crew mates were also on the ship.
Whitebeard shook his head. She thanked him and walked off, black, silken wings sprouted from her back. I stared at her. She was very pretty...and humble...
Whitebeard poked me with one finger. "Ace, I see you staring at her. Don't try and hide it!" He chuckled.
"I-no-wait—no sir! I don't! Wait-" I was stumbling over my words. WhiteBeard laughed. "Yeah, sure you don't."
I followed her, curious about her devil power. She was sitting on the ships head piece, which was a whale. She was sitting cross legged. She heard me walking towards her and turned around. Both of her eyes were snake eyes.
It was distorting to look at. A bright yellow eye with a black slit in the middle. I must've been staring, because she smirked. I snapped out of it and sat down next to her.
We started to talk, sharing stories and jokes. I learned that she had been left on Shanks ship and he raised her, and that she called Shanks 'Ma'. That one was the best story.
"I also met this one boy, a long time ago, when I was around 7. His name was Luffy." My eyes lit up. "Luffy is my brother!" She looked over at me and stared, seeing if I have any resemblance, which I did.
She laughed. " I knew that face looked familiar!" It soon was late at night. She rested her head on my shoulder and fell asleep. I laid her down and let her put her head on my chest. I soon fell asleep, both of us sleeping on the ships head piece.
Third person
Ace and Echo fell asleep in the head piece, under the stars. Whitebeard saw this and laughed a little. I knew he liked her, Whitebeards thoughts said.
He carefully picked them both up and carried them to their beds.
