"Then I'll be heading off." Akainu said as he walked towards ship in a distance. The ship would be lifted up and be heading towards Marie Geoise.

It was one of those important meeting which comes only in a few months where only Marine Fleet Admiral ,Admiral and Vice Admirals would attend.

Emilia now at the age of 16 boasted a rank of Rear Admiral, just a rank short of Vice Admiral.

Emilia watched her Admiral walk away as her hands were near her head saluting. As soon as he was put of sight, she eased up and then turned her head around.

Since most of marine leaders were away, Emilia was in charge of Akainu's crew since she is the highest ranking officer. However that wasn't the only team she would be leading this time.

It was a joint team between Admiral Akainu and Vice Admiral Garp's crew. Emilia thought maybe Rear Admiral Bogard who served Garp would stay however his presence was requested on another team.

Also since Emilia was already familiar with Garps crew,the higher ups made these teams join.

Despite her young age, Emilia's competence was recognized and would already have some of her own missions.

Let's do this... Emilia thought as she turned around and walked towards ship occupied with all familiar faces.

Emilia brought her hands towards her lips and cleared her voice and this alone made everyone walk towards her and waited for their leader to say her words.

Right now she will be leading these people.

...

"Hey kiddo"

Emilia felt a pat on her head making her turn towards the voice.

"You're a big shot now aren't ya?" Zack teased however a smile, dare she say proud smile, was there.

"I..." Emilia huffed as she crossed her arms. "I guess I have grown alot..."

"I feels as if it was just yesterday when you showed up in front of me all tensed up ahahaha."

The man laughed and then there was a comfortable silence which followed.

"Emilia" Zack said.

Emilia turned to look towards him upon hearing his voice tremble slightly.

"Yea?"

Zack smiled as he brought his hands behind his neck. "Claire might hate me for saying this since she wanted to be the one to tell you."

Emilia curiously stared at him waiting for his next word. Whatever it was, the man in front of her was nervous.

"But uhmm.... Claire is pregnant."

Emilia stood still for a second before everything within her busted with happiness and excitement. "I am so excite-"

Few soldiers on their ship turned their heads in shock at their captain. Realizing how her voice had turned quite sharp and loud in excitement made her clear her throat, her face slightly flushed.

Zack laughed at her reaction.

"Congratulations Zack." Emilia smiled. "I'm so happy for you." If they weren't in public Emilia would have definitely hugged him.

"Haha." The man laughed. "Thank you."

"Did you decide on the name?" Emilia asked in a calm tone but inside she wasnt to jump around in excitement.

"Don't tell me you are doing to fuse your and Claire's name into one and name the Child after that?" Emilia teased.

"Well I did think of that...." Zack frowned before he placed his hands on Emilia's head and smiled. "If it's a girl, her name will be Estelle and if it's a boy,his name will be Ezekiel."
