If I run (One Piece, Fire Fist Ace Fan Fiction)

Episode 5- Pops

Water rushed around Raven like a dark cold blanket. She couldn't move, her body relaxed involuntarily as silence fell around her. That was one of the many reasons she love the water, in all it's crazy splendor. No matter what was happening before, here in this moment Raven was at peace. Here in the darkness her mind was blank for once in her life, and nothing else mattered. She loved the serene feeling but just as darkness started to envelope her, she felt arms wrap around her waist. Michael started to  pull her up, but then the current caught them pulling them down. Until they hit the ocean floor hard, she turned and saw Michael flouting helpless next to her. He had hit his head rather hard on a rock a cut just barely showing in the faint luminescence of the sea. She panicked all calm the ocean had once had gone, as she watched his hair turn white. She tried desperately to move but she couldn't. 

Then just as she could feel the ocean start to take her breath from her, something odd happened something she wasn't quite sure was real. Just as she sat at the edge of unconsciousness, an impossible woman appeared. She was beyond beautiful her dark hair floated around her like a halo, moving like the waves it seemed to be made of. She wore a loosely fitting kimono that seem to melt into the ocean around her, the fish almost seemed to swim across the fabric. Her skin was a white as the sand, her lips as red as blood, and her eyes were green as kelp. She cupped her hands and lifted both Raven and Michael closer to her face.
"Welcome home my dear child." She said the sound echoed in the ocean. Raven looked up at her confused, but the woman only smiled softly. Then blew on both of them with non existent breath, at the same time a current lifted them and carried them away. The woman smiled then in a rush of darkness vanished back into the ocean before Raven eyes. Her eyes closing against her will and the darkness took over.

The Moby Dick hadn't expected ruff weather, yet where prepared for it. The ship barley rocked as the storm ragged around it, fires still lit as the crew stood watch. When the weather subsided and the sun came out, the crew went back to celebrating and laughing. Just as the party commenced Fire Fist appeared out of no where and attacked pops. Pops sent him flying over board in one swift almost lazy move. White Beard and the crew laughed and some even looked over the railing.
"Someone should probably save him." A random crew member said, "I got him," Thatch said jumping over board and pulling Ace out of the water. Marco looked over the side after him, and threw a rope ladder down to help Thatch back up. 

As he glanced around the water waiting he saw something, as it floated closer he saw two people floating unconscious on pieces of a broken ship.
"Thatch!" Marco yelled, Thatch turned Ace still in his arms. "On it!" He yelled helping Ace on the ladder. Ace had a ruff time climbing up on his own, but only partly because of the water. He half watched as Thatch swam towards the two people. More of the crew came to help him get them up. It was Raven and Michael, Michael's hair was pure white but neither were conscious as they were pulled on board. White Beard watched as the crew gathered.
"Who are they?" Someone asked, "Where'd they come from?" Thatch moved Ravens hair out for her face just as her chest began to move. "Their at least still alive." Thatch said, "Nice swords." One guy said he picked them up and handed one to the guy next to him. They both began to examine them.
"Why won't it come out of the sheath?" The guy said trying to get one out of it's sheath. White beard stood and as he did the two swords moved. Or the roses did, most of the watchers jumped back as the roses quickly made their way up the two men's arms.
"What's going on?" Marco asked stepping back. Ace watched from the railing, confused and mildly concerned but still soaked and irritated. The roses wrapped tightly around the mens arms and their eyes turned red, they spoke at the same time with a voice that wasn't their own.
"Death shall come quickly."
Then they started attacking people. Most tried to fight back but were to slow. "Whats going on?" Thatch shouted as Marco jumped in the still sheathed swords surprising him by not going right through him like they should have. Ace jumped in to help and sent one of the guys flying across the deck landing not far from Raven. She woke coughing up a little water.
"What?" Raven mumbled trying to take in all that was around her. Then she saw the guy with Michael's sword. She looked around Michael was still out his hair white, the guy got back up and ran at Ace.
"I have to stop them," Raven said trying move. "Woo there, don't worry we've got this." Thatch said moving to help her. She pushed away, Thatch didn't stop her as she stood stumbling. "Y-you don't understand... the swords, Michael..." She turned and after a little trouble regained her balance she moving through the crowd.
The crowd of pirates moved to the side trying to avoid the fight, the two guys with the swords were now only fighting Ace ignoring Marco. The crew watched stunned as Raven gained speed and  jumped over Marco landing between Ace and his attackers. She caught Ace's flaming fist in one hand and stopped the two swords with her other arm.
"Wha-?" Ace started to say, "My turn," Raven said, pushed them all back almost too easily. The sword guys stumbled backwards as she turned Ace, they were now barely an inch away for each other.
"I need to barrow this," Raven said taking Aces knife from his hip. She turned ran at the guys they swung at her she jumped. Landing all to lightly on the swords, she was still barefoot.
"Too slow," Raven said as she cut both roses with one swipe then using as if using the swords as a spring board jumped several yards in the air. Landing several feet away with her back to Ace. The two guys dropped the swords, both falling on the deck after them.
"How?" Ace asked as she turned and held out his knife to him, after he took the knife she turned looking worried and ran back to Michael picking up the swords on her way. Kneeling at Michael's side and placing the swords in Michael's hands.
"Wai-" Thatch started to say, but stopped when he saw Michael's hair turned black. "He'll live, we'll at least for now." Raven sighed, as Michael sat up confused. She sighed again and stood turning to see what she'd figure would happen. The entire crew minus Ace stood all around the two of them, their swords and guns pointed waiting for an order.
"What I do this time?" Michael asked, holding his hands up. Raven however just glared at them. "Not your fault this time," Raven told him, "Where are we?" Michael asked as Raven looked up to see White beard watching them from his chair.
"Exactly where we want to be," Raven said as she stood, "How'd we get here?" Michael asked, an image of the woman in the ocean flashed through Raven's mind. "I don't care, we're here." Raven said taking a step froward. Those who were holding the weapon's took an involuntary step back. She didn't pay any attention to them just kept walking forward one step at a time. All of them seem off put by her but didn't try to stop her only stepped aside still pointing weapons at her. She stopped before White beard, and smirked.
"Who are you?" White beard asked, his voice booming around them. "Raven," she said standing almost too stiffly as she looked up at him.
"And you were looking for me?" White beard asked, "I was told if I ever needed help to find you," Raven explained, "And who told you this?" He asked as Raven put her hand in her pocket, pulled out something gold and threw it with force at his face. He caught it and when he opened his palm a gold campus laid in it, looking almost like a grain of rice in his large palm. He opened it to find a picture in the lid of a younger him, Shanks, and Gold D.
"Where?" White beard breathed, his voice barely above a whisper. "My mother," Raven said each syllable carefully so he wouldn't mistake it for anything else. White beard stood, "Come," he said taking his weapon as he started to walk away. Michael started to follow but stopped when Raven gave him a look. So he sat back down in huff. Glaring at those who were still pointing weapons at him.
