Call Your Name (Ace x Reader)

Chapter 41 - We're At War

!THIS BOOK WILL END AT CHAPTER 50!

The world around you just paused. This cannot be real. This is just a lie. There's no way Ace was going to be executed. They can't be stupid, right?  They're practically declaring war on Whitebeard.

The vivre card... That's right. The vivre card.

You dropped the newspaper and ran to your room. You were out of breath at the time you opened the door.

You looked around, trying to find that piece of paper that was in your nightstand. But once you found it, you felt more tears on your cheeks.

The vivre card from Ace was smaller. Much smaller than it was when he gave it to you. And it was still burning.
You fell on your knees and just looked at the vivre card. This can't be happening. This can't...

He was supposed to come back!  He needs to know he's going to become a father!  He needed to know.

You walked back to the deck with the vivre card in your hand. Everyone was shocked by the news. They all know how strong Ace truly is, so they were naturally shocked by hearing that Teach beat him and turned him to the Marines.

"It's true... This is Ace's vivre card." You said as you showed Marco the piece of paper.

"And it's still burning... Damn. Wake pops up! We can't lose any time!" Marco yelled.

"I'll go!" A guy said before running towards pops ship.

"These damn marines! They think that they got us all figured out and now they're challenging us!" Jozu said as he trew the newspaper on the floor.

You grabbed Marco's newspaper and read the entire article. It said that Teach became a Shichibukai for turning Ace to the Marines and so the Marines decided to execute Ace in about one week or so.

"This is horrible..." You said as you flipped the page.

"That sick Teach! He doesn't know who he's playing with!" Haruta exclaimed.

"Wait until pops hears about this... This isn't going to be pretty." Marco said.

Right after he said that, Whitebeard walked out of his room. He sat down on his chair and looked at everybody. He saw the grim looks on their faces and norrowed his eyes.

"Pops, this bad!"

"What is going on?" He asked. You gave the newspaper back to Marco. He then walked towards Whitebeard and gave him the newspaper.

Once Whitebeard read the article he trew the newspaper on the ground.

"That Teach... He's a hundred years too early to challenge me out of all people!" Whitebeard said under his breath. "Sons. Get ready. It seems we're at war."

"So what are we gonna do pops?"

Whitebeard sighed and looked at the sky. A storm was coming soon.

"There's no doubt that the marines know exactly where we are this moment." Whitebeard said. "They're tracking us, studying us. They want to see our next move." He continued.

"That's-"

"Everybody prepare for battle for now. We're going to get this ship coated, once we're under water, they will not be able to track us anymore."

Your eyes widen at the word battle. Marco noticed your expression and stood up.

"That's fine with us, but (Name) cannot fight." Marco said. Your eyes widen at Marco's words. No way!  He can't do this to you!
