Whitebeard Pirates:
-Y/N's Origin Flashback part IV-
Twenty-one months before the current storyline started, the Royal Flush Officers of the Spade Pirates were walking on a snow covered island deep in the Grand Line. Ace seemed to be impervious to the cold and was wearing shorts and a sweatshirt with a cape on the back. The cold weather however, WASN'Timpervious to Ace, the second 'Fire Fist' set foot on the island it stopped snowing.
King was wearing a long tan trench coat and had a pair of guns strapped to his waist inside of it. On his head he wore a matching tan fedora hat. Queen was wearing a long green coat and her green hood was up, her bow and quiver were strapped to her back but she still seemed to be cold. A seventeen year old Jack was wearing a black cloak with a cape and a black skull cap on his head. His trusty sword Akaikyuuketsuki was sheathed at his waist inside the cloak. Ten, being a ninja, usually wore a tight black jumpsuit and a mask that left his mouth uncovered and had two eyeholes that he could see out of but others couldn't see in. Now, he was wearing a hooded cloak to protect him against the cold.
"Why are we here again?" Ollie asked as she trekked through the snow next to Y/N. "I'm freezing my tights off."
"There's someone I want to meet no matter what," Ace answered as he led the group.
"You knew we were going on a winter island, you should've dressed warmer," Y/N pointed out. "Or maybe you should've stayed back on the ship with the others."
"And miss out on the adventure?" questioned Ollie. "Not likely. But I've got a big cup of tea with my name on it when I get back to the ship."
"So where is this guy?" Han inquired.
"If he's still the same as I remember, he's recovering from a hangover somewhere," Y/N answered.
"I checked it out earlier," Deck said. "He and his crew are camped out in the middle of the island. And actually... he did appear to be hung-over."
The Five Spade Pirates made their way to the middle of the island and reached a large snow-filled clearing. It was filled with a series of log cabins and there were groups of men huddled around numerous campfires.
A man with a sword stood up and addressed Ace. "So... I hear you want to meet me."
"No that's not what I meant," Ace replied. "My little brother was always bragging about you, the one who saved his life. He told me to thank you if we ever met."
"You're Luffy's... Oh!" 'Red Haired' Shanks exclaimed. "So he had a brother. Thanks for coming and telling me!"
"Actually, he had three brothers," Y/N informed him.
Shanks' eye lit up with recognition, "Y/N! You're a pirate now! That's great!"
"I'm more of a treasure hunter, but yeah," Y/N replied. "I'm the Jack of Spades."
"Won't you join us?" Shanks offered as he motioned to some empty seats around the campfire he'd been sitting at. "How's Luffy doing?"
"He's doing great," Y/N answered. "He's still got another two years or so before he leaves home, but he's gotten a lot stronger."
"Have you?" came a voice. Y/N turned to it and saw Benn Beckman sitting there smoking a cigarette. He'd aged a lot over the passed eight years. His once long black hair was now short and gray. His long rifle was leaning against his side.
Y/N flashed a foxy grin as he pulled opened his cloak to reveal his curved sword, "How'd you like to find out for yourself?"
"With your permission Captain, I'd like to engage a member of this rival pirate crew in a friendly spar," Beckman requested as he stood up and held his rifle next to him.
