12 year old Alexandra finds herself in a bit of a situation. Having had the unfortunate luck of getting caught in the crossfire between the Marines and the Whitebeard pirates, Alex is suddenly trapped on a Yonko's ship after her reluctant stowaway p...
A huge shadow loomed in the darkness, arms pinned to the massive rock wall with shackles. His head hung low, long greying hair hung over his mismatched eyes, wrinkles worn into his skin. Several missing fingers on one hand, an injury sustained at least 80 years ago, however those limbs weren't the only things missing. His leg was nothing more than a burnt stump, this particular wound was new, a punishment for not speaking up.
From the far side of the room a human sized door opened, two people walked in, one was a woman with dark brown hair, braids woven into her ponytail. She was dressed in a suit and a Marine coat. The other was a man, black hair puffed out into what could only be described as an afro, from his chin hung a braid, round glasses sat on his sharp nose. He too wore a suit, with a heavy white admiral's coat.
The figure didn't look up, nor gave any impression that he'd even noticed their entrance. There was the sound of two chairs scraping across the stone floor as the two people sat down, the shuffle of papers echoed around the giant cell.
"Valric, are you willing to speak of what you know now?" The man asked, but Valric did not answer, this seemed to irritate the woman "Father! You can not remain silent forever!"
Still no response, the woman pushed herself off the chair, marching towards the Giant, with each step she grew in size until she was face to face with the old man. Grabbing his chin she forced his head up, when Valric's hair fell from his eyes, the brown and blue irises held nothing but mocking, his mouth pulled up into a grin.
In a rage the woman dropped her hand from his chin "Where is she, where did you tell her to go?!"
Valric continued to smile, not wavering as he continued to stare her down. The way he acted, there was no signs that he'd been tortured, he acted just as defiant as the day he'd been captured.
"WHERE IS THE GIRL GOING?!" The giant woman roared, the old man didn't bat an eye.
"Freya I think you need to calm yourself" The man said calmly from the table, Freya growled a bit but backed off, he was her superior officer after all.
The man finally got to his feet, walking over to stand at Freya's heeled boot, he was holding a piece of paper which he turned to show Valric. "Maybe this will convince you to speak up"
The mocking smile dropped immediately as he got a look at the picture, the bounty poster had someone all too familiar printed on it. Although after a moment a small smile appeared, it did not last long however.

"Your Granddaughter, she was sighted in Logue town... the girl managed to evade capture."
"Sengoku-sama! How could she have escaped! That girl is nothing-" Sengoku cut her off before she could continue her rant "I was the one that failed the capture. Whitebeard got in the way."
"WHITEBEARD?!" Both Freya and Valric shouted in unison.
"That's right, surely you must have heard of the encounter, Freya? Moreover she was seen jumping onto his ship during their escape" Sengoku asked with a raised eyebrow, Freya stammered slightly "Sir, I did not know that my daughter was involved in that event. He'll kill the girl for sure once he finds out."
"LET ME OUT!" Valric started to pull on his shackles, making a loud clanking noise as he struggled, this was the most energy he'd used since he'd arrived. Nothing else had stirred him up as much.
"Despite bearing his child you know nothing about Whitebeard. Despite his time with the Rocks pirates, Edward Newgate has never been one to harm children." Sengoku ignored Valric fighting against his chains, instead explaining everything in a bland tone. "Whitebeard is known for taking in orphans, a strange habit for a pirate but he's done it many times. Which means that he will most likely take in that girl too. With or without knowing that she is his daughter"
"Alex would never be willing to do such a foolish thing!" Valric spat through his clenched teeth.
"She had little choice, Whitebeard had collapsed the area around his ship and the girl had no other place to escape to."
"So you're telling me the child who has the key to the ancient weapon Uranus is now in the possession of a Yonko of the sea!" Freya shouted.
"Yes, the five elder stars are furious..."

A nice and short epilogue.
Just a little taster of the sakes...
Anyway, thank you all so much for reading this far. I hope you continue to enjoy A will of a Giant.
Now to answer a few common questions:
1) When is Whitebeard going to learn Alex is his Bio kid: Short answer a very long while from now.
2) What are the characters Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity:
Alex is a Lesbian, Marco is gay, Thatch is bisexual, Whitebeard is the most Aroace dude alive, Haruta is Ace and Non binary, Izo is pan and gender non conforming. Those are the main ones anyway.
3) Why is Alex so small? The reason is quite sad actually. Whilst Freya was pregnant she overused her devil fruit powers, meaning she kept shrinking and growing, meaning all the extra nutrients that were meant to be used for growing baby Alex were used up as energy to use her power. Meaning Alex never grew properly and was badly malnourished.
