Red And Blue Flames (one piece fanfic) [Portgas D. Ace love story]

Chapter 8

---3rd person---

Aki stood at Whitebeard's side, while he pointed his bisento (that's the name of the weapon he uses) forward.

"Yeah!!" yelled the pirates as they ran forwards towards the plaza. 

"That was quite an entrance." smirked Aki but before Whitebeard could answer, 2 cannon balls were sent his way, however that just made Aki angry.

She quickly took a few steps forward before jumping in the air and kicking both the cannon's right back at the marines before they had a chance to hit Whitebeard.

"I think they seem to be forgetting that I'm your right hand man." smirked Aki. 

"So it would seem." grinned Whitebeard. 

But the two just stood there, observing for a moment. 

"Pop's." she started. "The marines are all retreating. Something is defiantly up."

"Mn. I can see that." he agreed. 

They watched as one of the huge Vice Admirals jumped down and started attacking.

"John Giant." said Aki as he approached them, holding up his giant sword about to slash Aki and Whitebeard. "Shall I take him out?"

"No." said Whitebeard. "You’re pregnant, remember?"

She could help but let a chuckle escape her lips as Whitebeard brought up his bisento, defending the attack.

"You're in the way." said Whitebeard before pushing him back, sending the Vice Admiral off balance as he brought up both hands, grabbing the air in front of him as he pulled it down, causing the entire battle field and parts of the sea to tilt to the side.

Everyone began falling over, trying to gain their balance but Aki stood there, firmly grounded like the old man. 

"Don't you think you're over doing it?" Aki asked. 

"This is a war. There is no over doing anything." was his firm reply.

She smiled and looked back up to him.

He's.. he's so close yet he's so far. She thought. I can see him so clearly yet I can't run to him. All I want is to be back in his arms. I just want to take him away from this place. But I can't. 

"Aki," said Whitebeard snapping her out of her thoughts and causing her to look at him. "Didn't I tell you to take care of Straw Hat?"

She widened her eyes slightly and scanned the battle field for him, only thing is, she couldn't see him.

"Oh shit." she cursed. 

"Jinbei seems to be doing your job for you." he said with a slight chuckle.

Aki then turned and saw Jinbei pulling Luffy out of a whole in the ice that had been created by Whitebeard’s attack. 

"But," started Aki as she turned back to Whitebeard. "Are you sure you don't want me here? I mean I am-"

"Do you think I am so weak as to need you to protect me?" he asked.

"No! I was just.. well normally a right hand man wouldn't leave their captain’s side..." 

"Gurarara," laughed Whitebeard. "Who do you think needs more protecting, me or Ace’s little brother?"

Aki stared at him for a moment and then she looked back at Ace as a smile formed on her lips.

"Then," she started as John Giant was about to slash them once more, "I'll take out this one and be done with it!" she smirked before she leaped into the air, reaching around where John's chest was as she brought back her fist, blue flames encircling it. "Get out of the way!" she yelled as she sent her punch at him with full force. He went flying back so far and so fast.
