!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!

"There's no way I'm letting her fight." Marco said as he crossed his arms.

Whitebeard narrowed his brows, and looked at you. "Why is that?" He asked.

"I'm sorry (Name). I know I promised... She's pregnant!  She can't fight." Marco said as he pointed at you.

"What?!" The crew was schoked at the news.

"Is it true, (Name)?" Whitebeard asked you. You just nod. Whitbeard sighed and stood up. He walked towards you and held his hand towards you. You grabbed it and stood up.

"Sons, this motivates us even more to bring Ace back. After all, he needs to find out he is going to become a father." Whitebeard started to laugh.

"Yeah!" The men yelled and you gaved them a smile.

"Still, (Name) can't fight. It's too dangerous for her and the baby." Marco said as he shook his head.

"I'm coming too." You replied to him.

"(Name), this isn't about you!  This is about the baby!" Marco yelled at you.

"I know... But it pains me to know that the baby's father is in danger. I cannot live without Ace, you understand me? Plus, if that was me out there being executed, Ace wouldn't even waste a second thinking about it! He would come from the other side of the oceanis it was necessary, just to save me!"

Everyone went silent at your remark. But they knew that, just as Marco said, this isn't about you anymore. The baby wasn't as strong as you were. One punch in the stomach would cause miscarriage at this early in the pregnancy.

And then... The biggest problem was your father. They seen the newspapers, they know who he is. Hell, everybody knows by now!

"Alright, you go out there, you get hurt and then your father decides it time to have a family meeting. Then what?" Marco yelled back at you.

"Then I'm going to fight him!" You yelled at him.

"Are you out of your mind?! Are you deaf? Just listen to yourself! (Name), you're pregnant for God's sake!"

You turned around and walked towards your room.

"Oh you're not going anywhere! I'm not done!" Marco said as he grabbed your hand, stopping you from walking forward.

"If I don't go... I'll regret it forever." You said in a low voice. Marco let go of your hand and you started to walk once again back to your room.

"Marco, we all understand what you're saying and that's what we think it's for the best aswell. But, consider what (Name) is feeling right now. She will come to the battle even if we like it or not. There's no way we can stop her at this point."

"But pops-"

"If you want, you can be the one who will protect her."

Marco finally gave up and nod. This won't make you really happy. He knows that you'll start to think of him as your bodyguard, and he didn't wanted that but... This was for your both own good.

——————————————————

Next chapter will focus on Ace. I'm probably gonna write from his pvo but we'll see.
