(just saying, this is 20 years ago. Meaning, Gol D. Roger is still alive, the One Piece hasn't been found, Ace isn't born & all that other shit)
Third Person POV
"Who can shot further? Izo or Curiel?" the Commander of the 4th Division murmured to murmured to the Commander of the 12th Division
"Well, Izo is a sharpshooter & he uses pistols. Unlike Curiel, he uses bazookas so I'm pretty damn sure Curiel can shoot further."
"Wanna bet?" he raised an eyebrow before smirking
"Your on." Thatch called the two over & told them their little wager, the two look at each other before smirking "I vote for Curiel while Thatch votes for you, Izo."
"What's the prize?"
"… the loser has to do all of the winners chores for an entire month!"
"Deal." Marco seemed to have heard their conversation so he looked over from where he was & saw them aiming at a boat
"That's a pretty far distance, first one to hit it, wins." Marco takes a closer look at the boat & noticed that there was something, or someone in it
He squints his eyes at it before grabbing a telescope & taking a closer look, there was indeed someone on that little boat & two of the Commanders were ready to shoot at it. Out of a fit of panic, he got up from where he was & sprinted over to them
"Ready, & fi--"
"Wait!!" they stopped aiming & looked at Marco with a confused look
"What's the matter, Marco?"
"Take a closer look at that boat-yoi." he said as he handed Thatch the telescope, he took it & once he looked at the boat he sweat dropped
"Oh…" Marco rolled his eyes & flew over to the boat, his eyes widened when he saw what was laying in it unconscious
"A… child?" Marco moved his (Leo's) bangs away from his closed eyes & stared at the kid "Why are you in the middle of the ocean kid?" he carefully picked the child up & flew back to the ship
"So what is it Marco?"
"Its a child." Izo & Curiel look at the boy in Marco's arms with widened eyes before glaring at Haruta & Thatch
"We could've killed him!" they yelled
"Well how were we suppose to know that he was on that boat?!"
"You could've checked!"
"This boy is lucky I have a keen eye or else he would've lost his life all because of a stupid bet-yoi." before anything else could happen, the captain of the crew had appeared
"What is this fuss about, my sons?"
"Thatch & Haruta almost made Izo & Curiel kill this child." the 52 year old man looked at the two Commanders & shook his head
"I expected more from you two."
"Yes pops."
"Marco, take him to the infirmary & see what's wrong with the boy." he nodded
"Yes pops."
(With Life & Death)
"See, told you this was a good idea." Death nodded her head slowly in a sarcastic manner
"Yeah, put him on a boat where he almost died again if it weren't for that guy with a pineapple like head to see him before he was blown to bits."
