I'm The Girl Who Can Control Everything!

We Really Need To Hurry! Who The Hell Is That?!

My eyes peer up at his gorgeous blue eyes. Did he just call me 'mama'?'

"Why do you want to know why I'm here? Is it your business?" Marco says so casually as he holds me to his body after giving me such a hot kiss.

"It's not, I guess." I blush softly, turning my head to pout. His fingers tilt my chin back to kiss me again. My eyes shoot open before I give in again.

"MARCO! I have...oh my!" I hear Thatch's voice as he turns the corner to see me and Marco kissing. Marco pulls back from my lips and smiles as he turns to face his brother.

"Look, it's Siren." Marco says with a grin.

"And a baby?" Thatch says as he comes in closer to look at Kimiko.

"She isn't mine." I say while blushing.

"I knew that." Marco says softly while Thatch looked like he was trying to mix and match people who could have been the father.

"Then why did you...?" Marco covers my lips with a finger and giggles.

"Wait, hold on, you have to help me?" I say as I cover Kimiko and grab Marco's hand.

"I'm traveling with someone, and this is her sister, but she got captured at the entrance." I speak fast and softly.

"Yeah, we couldn't go through the front either. Dewey has been stationed there since this morning." Marco says as he holds my hand.

"Ugh, figures!" I sighed.

"Don't worry, we will help. Especially since big and ugly is at the front gate." Marco says.

"Do you know where they took her?" I ask softly, and he shakes his head.

"We can ask around. I can check in with Vista." He says as he pulls out a small transponder nail.

"Vista, have you found Oden yet?" Marco covers his mouth to hope I don't hear the name, but I do.

"Who?" My voice rises more than it should, and Marco covers my mouth with his other hand.

"No, he ran off some time ago. He's probably already reached the other side of the island by now. Did you find out what happened at the base?" Vista's voice talks through the transponder snail. Vista must not have heard my voice before Marco covered my mouth.

"Oh, we found them alright." Marco chuckles softly, and Thatch flips over Kimiko's face again while Marco talked.

"Okay? Are we still meeting at the same place?" Vista asks.

"Yeah, we will meet you there." Marco says before clicking the transponder snail shut. His eyes met mine, and I melted. I had missed those eyes forever, and now my tummy was fluttering like a little girl.

"Come on, we got a new family member." Marco says while he moves his hand from my mouth.

"Tell us who you are with?" Thatch chimes in making sure everyone remembers that he's here.

"Her name is Nishia." I correct.

"Is she pretty?" Thatch says with a smirk towards, and my eye roll was massive.

"I guess you can find out when we save her. Also, Dewey is my uncle." I whispered the last part softly.

"Ugh, really?" Thatch whines as he genuinely looks happy to see me. I was excited to see them again. When you think the world is bigger than it is, you still meet people that you cherish in the most dire of circumstances. My heart was still racing from the kiss, and he kissed me twice.

"She's pretty Thatch, but don't get any ideas." I sternly point my finger in his direction. Thatch brings up his hands in denial, but I know when he wants a lady, he will try to impress her in any way he can.

"That ain't up for you to decide, hag." Thatch spits, and my hand slapped his cheek.

"Ow! Marco, she hit me!" Thatch screams for Marco.

"You called her a hag. She could have done worse." Marco says as he looks back at us.

"Don't hit people while holding a baby, Siren." Marco gives me the sweetest smile that makes me blush.

"She okay.. Aren't you Kimiko?" I say as I let my finger wiggle in front of her face. Kimiko coos and grabs my finger and giggles while waving my finger in her hand. I continued to follow Marco and Thatch through the city with no complications. Marco and Thatch are bigger than me, so it makes it easier to hide me.

A bar with a large sign in yellow reads:

The Lucky Bog

"It's a bar." Thatch says as he opens the batwing door while letting me slip in first. The first sight that brings me more joy as Pop's drinks a goblet full of liquor. The raging roars of laughter and singing make it feel like home.

Thatch walks pasted me as he could tell I was having a moment. A hand touches my back in a loving caress.

"We all missed you." Marco says behind he moves my silver hair and whispers in my ear.

"I missed you." He moved from behind me to walk towards everyone. My heart felt like it stopped for a second. Every part of my body was vibrating. Why did I want to settle down? Why does spending my time with them for so little feel gigantic? I knew I needed to get Nishia, but I couldn't do it myself. Certainly not with a baby on my chest. The tingles in my limps were gonna make me shake if I didn't move. Kimiko's chirp at my unsure expression.

"Sorry... I need to be stronger, too." I tap on Kimiko's head and walk down into the sunken bar.

"Is that my girl?" Pop's voice rings out as he pushes my hood down. His thumb caresses my cheek.

"You've been through a lot." Pop says as crew members hand me a beer.

"I can't. I have someone I need to save." I say as I pass the mug off to another. I look up to Pops and smile.

"I've come to ask a favor." I declared as I stood my ground in front of the huge man. His smile grows as he crosses his arms.

"What kind of favor?" He questioned me.

"I need help saving a friend, who got captured." I shout back to him as I untied Kimiko from me.

"Watch her for me?" I ask with a raised eyebrow, hoping he would. It wasn't like he really needed to watch Kimiko necessarily. She was already fed and changed. Pop's laugh makes the whole room go silent as Whitey Bay grabs Kimiko from me. Her snowy blue hair gorgeously flows down her back and helps her with her white skin tone.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of her." Her calm voice soothes my worries as she combs Kimiko's hair.

"Marco, Jozu, and Thatch. Go with her." Pop's voice rings out as I turn to look back up to him and nod.

"Wait, Pops, we are still on the look for Oden! We kinda need everyone with us.." A man yells as Pop's drinks his liquor before side eyeing the guy.

"Oden can take care of himself. He'll turn up." Pop's laugh and rest back in a chair. Jozu's hand lands on the top of my head as he messes up the top of my hair.

"Jozu..." I whine as I move his hand to fix my straight silver hair.

"Come on, tell us about your friend." Jozu smiles as Marco and Thatch join us.

"Fine, as long as you tell me who Oden is." I press my hair into Jozu before his skin turns to diamond and jams my finger.
