His Royal Highness

Sea of Secrets

A tall and handsome man sat at our table and introduced himself as Ace, a Pirate from Th White Beards. I had never heard of them before in my entire life but I believed him, I could tell he knew I was a powerful person.
"My name is Aria." I said, he smiled and kissed my hand.
"Your Majesty." he said with a smirk, i was taken aback.
"You know?" Satoru said.
"Yes, I was just in your Kingdom at the celebrations." he said, I sighed.
"At least I don't have to keep that up." I said, Violet pinched me.
"OUCH!" I yelled, she glared at me.
"Sorry." I said, Satoru tried not to laugh with Ace, I glared at them and they straightened up.
"I do apologize for eavesdropping but it seems you all have never heard of Haki, am I correct?" Ace asked.
"Yes, Our Kingdom seems to have stayed far away from conflicts with other nations and people and stayed to ourselves. Now thinking about it... it was a horrible choice, who knows what type of advances this world has that we don't know about." I said.
"The world is vast and very beautiful, may I ask where you are going?" he said.
"We are looking for a power that Delta felt while out here, she was made not to be afraid of anything but her master, and yet this power scared her away from an Island she was heading to." I said, Ace was thinking and I could tell he knew something.

He sat there processing everything I had told him and how I wanted to get more allies for my kingdom, he seemed interested and yet not at the same time. Even tho I have only seen one pirate I think that they all may not give a damn about anything but what they want, I kinda liked that.
"It was definitely Haki... but to say who... I don't know." he said.
"When told about the Island and its location the navigator of this ship said it's the base of The King of The Pirates." I said, Ace's eyes widened.
"Do you know who that is?" I said as I shot up from my seat, Satoru grabbed my wrist and pulled me back down into my seat.
"Calm down." he said, I took a deep breath.
"My apologies." I said.
"It's fine, yes I do know him... he's my brother." he said, my eyes widened.
"Do you think he would help me?" I asked Ace.
"He would if he deemed it worth his time." he said.
"I know it is... but I've done some things in the name of good that would be considered evil." I said.
"The Pinnacle of this World I would think they are both good and evil, wouldn't you say?" Ace said with a smile.

It was like he knew what to say to me without saying it, this island was months away from us maybe longer I needed to learn The Sea's Secrets. I got up and walked over to the window looking out into the vast sea, I felt homesick but this Journey was needed for my growth.
"Don't think bout it too much missy Luffy will help you for sure I know it, since I'll be accompanying you." he said with a smile, I looked at him.
"Don't you have a crew to get back to?" I asked him.
"I do, but I think it's time I visit my little brother." he said looking out the window with me.
"I'd like you to teach me all you know about The Sea." I said, he looked down at me.
"Why's that?" he asked me, I looked up at him and smiled, his eyes widened.
"As the Pinnacle of this World I would think I should learn everything there is to know about it, wouldn't you say?" he smiled and nodded.
"At your service, Milady." he said with a bow, I chuckled.
"I think I like pirates Sato." I said as I sat down.
"He's just one of many more we will encounter, we should not base them all off Ace." he said, I sighed.
"Let me live!" I yelled at him, he pinched my cheeks.
"You wanna act like a child I'll pinch your cheeks like one!" he said, I was taken aback that I couldn't focus on trying to get him to stop.
"OUCH! LET GO!" I yelled, he let go and Violet iced my cheeks.
"God or not you're still the same old bratty duke's daughter." Satoru said.
"You damn brute..." I said as Violet continued to ice my cheeks.

We went on deck to get some fresh air it smelled so fresh, the sea, the breeze, and even the smell of people on the ship was soothing. I went to the side of the ship and looked out, my white hair blowing in the wind.
"You stand out." Ace said, I looked at him.
"My hair you mean, yeah I know." I said as I held some in my hand.
"I figured you were a god when I saw the white hair, I've seen it before on a poster of someone I know." he said, and suddenly Akio appeared.
"Devil Fruits?" he said, Ace looked at me.
"So, you know of them?" he asked him.
"Yes, as a demon we know of all the supernatural." he said.
"Then I guess you know mine?" he asked him, I looked at Ace.
"You?" I said in confusion.
"You ate the Mera Mera no Mi." Akio said, Ace smiled as his hand caught on fire.
"Wow." I said in amazement that I touched the fire.
"Wait..." Ace said as he was about to pull away when he noticed that I was not affected.
"It's so warm." I said I felt a connection once I made contact with the fruit power.
"This power, it's not awake." I said, Ace tilted his head.
"What do you mean?" he asked me, but I didn't know what I was saying I just knew.
"First off, what are you doing here?" I asked Akio
"I have information for you." he said, I nodded and continued to touch Ace's flame
