Marco and Fire's last race ignited a lot of cheers from the crowd and even though the race ended almost an hour ago, the excitement did not die down.

The reporters are busy covering the whole event, getting interviews from the winners. Unfortunately, they can't interview most of Straw Hat's racers, namely Fire, Blue, and Lucy. It was a shame that they don't accept interviews but it does not mean the reporters will not try to get it. They will pester Straw Hats' team as much as they can but to no avail.

The Awards ceremony will commence in 30 minutes. Luffia instructed Nami to tell the organizers to give shuffle the order so Marco will get his prize and medal first.

"Why?" Nami asked.

"Because we will reveal ourselves when we get the awards! If we get our awards first, Marco will realize who Fire is. We can't have that! We wanna see his reaction first!" Luffia's determined voice echoed around their makeshift garage and the twins almost burst into laughter after hearing the youngest's reasons. Well, she got a point.

Nami adhered to the requests and even though the organizers are frowning at the sudden change, they did not question it because the word came from one of the sponsors.

When receiving the awards they have to wear their uniforms and parade their cars right in front of everyone. The top three will get the medal and prizes.

When the emcee announced that they will be giving the awards to Marco's group first, everyone is shocked but shrugged it off. Who cares which order they'd like to follow as long as they get to see the winners?

As soon as it was announced, Ann got into her car and drove to the makeshift stage where the reporters are. She was followed by the racer who placed third. Her car is just right behind Marco's as they parked right in front of the makeshift stage.

Luffia's been jumping up and down from where they are, looking at the projection where the camera's focus is Marco's.

"Calm down, will you?"

"But it's exciting! See? Marco's shocked face will be on TV! Hahaha!" Luffia answered Zoro while clapping her hands due to her excitement.

"First place award goes to Marco Newgate who won against Fire in their last lap by 3 milliseconds! An amazing race that will go down to history! Congratulations!" The emcee said. This signals Marco to come out of his car without a helmet this time and walked towards the stage to get his medal.

Ann remained in her seat until she will be called out. The smirk and excitement on her face can't be hidden while looking forward to seeing her boyfriend's shocked face.

"Now, let's also give a round of applause and congratulate Fire who put up a great fight against Marco. He almost won this time. Had it not been for little mishaps on the field, it wouldn't surprise me if he did." This is Ann's signal to come out of her car.

Everyone is expecting that a representative will be going to the stage to get the medal, but to everyone's surprise, the car door opened and the driver got out of it without a helmet on. When Fire needs to get the medal in every race she's in, it was always through a representative, but not this time.

As soon as her face is visible to everyone, flashes camera lights are vigorously around her with gasps of surprises from those who recognized her.

And Marco? His jaw was slacked open upon seeing the familiar face who walked out of the car and currently walking towards the stage.

There are no words to describe how shocked he was. Yes, because the rival is none other than his girlfriend, Ann. This is unexpected. They had a bet that if he wins, Ann will introduce Fire to him. And yes, she did. In the most unexpected way possible.

When their eyes met, she smirked at him, looking like she was enjoying the shocked look on his face. He's not the only one surprised. Everyone who does not know Fire's identity is surprised to see that the mysterious racer is a woman.

"Now, this is surprising. It looks like we should stop using he as a reference to Fire." The emcee is also shocked.

The medal was given to Ann before she took her place right next to Marco who's still wrapping his brains around this revelation. His eyes are continuously following Ann even as she took the place beside him.

"If I could paint your shocked face right now, I am pretty sure it will be worth millions."

"I can't believe it, yoi." Marco smiled, trying to regain his composure but he's still shocked at this.

"I was so sure I'd beat you this time. Such a shame."

"I still can't believe this."

"Are you that speechless?" Ann is enjoying seeing Marco sigh in disbelief. He doesn't look mad at all, he's just shocked.

"It's not every day you find out that your rival turns out to be your girlfriend, yoi."

"Hmm, yeah. Fair point." They smiled at each other, not caring about the cameras focusing on them.

Meanwhile, Luffia is laughing hysterically after seeing Marco's gaping face. She asked Koala to keep it so she can show it to Marco later on.

As much as the reporters want to do an interview right there and then, the Awards ceremony must go on. This time, it was the Motorbike race winners. There's nothing too surprising there.

When it was about the last two car racing events, everyone received another shock after Blue and Lucy got out of their cars, revealing their identities to the world.

Luffia is literally a bouncing ball while accepting her medal, smiling brightly at the cameras while flashing a peace sign using her hands. As soon as the formal event is over, Luffia ran to Marco to show the picture of him being shocked at Ann's revelation.

"Your face looks funny here. Shishishi!"

"You three got us good, I swear." He can only laugh while looking at his picture. "Why don't we take a picture together, yoi?" He suggested.

"That's a great idea!" Luffia instantly agreed before dragging Zoro with her to join them.

Ann and Sab were busy posing to Izou's camera when they were called by Luffia to join in. Kidd was dragged too. They posed in front of the camera, smiling happily.

"The reporters wanted to interview all of you." Nami said to the three couples who were busy posing to Izou's camera. "It's about damn time you face them since I'm tired of dealing with them for you." For years, Nami has to deal with the interviews since the sisters refused to accept them. But now that they revealed themselves, they are required to face them.

"Oh, okay!" Luffia was the first one to approach the reporters, dragging Zoro with her. They are holding hands and the reporters noticed that.

Q: What prompts you and your sisters to reveal your identities as Fire, Blue, and Lucy?

"We've been planning to do it sooner or later. Then, Ann told Marco that she will introduce Fire if he wins. Did you see his shocked face? It was so funny!" Luffia answered loudly.

Q: Since when did the three of you get into racing?

"We love racing since we were teens. Our dad loves racing too!"

Q: Do you have plans to continue this career in the long term?

"Not sure. Depends. This is just a hobby for the three of us."

Q: This question is for Zoro. How does it feel to win a grand slam this year?

"Pretty good. Practice and the bike that Franky and Usopp built for us contributed to the win."

Q: Are you going to be participating next year too?

"Nothing is set in stone. We'll see."

The questions were rapidly thrown at them that they can't decide which one to answer first. Good thing that Sab joined them to answer a few questions as well. Ann and Marco were interviewed together.

Q: From what we know, you are not aware that you will be facing your girlfriend in this race. What do you feel about this, Marco?

"Aside from being shocked, yoi? I guess I am proud of her. It was a great fight too."

Q: How about you, Ann?

"Seeing him so shocked is funny. And yes, it's a great competition. I would have wanted to win against him, but it's a shame I didn't." Ann's slowly getting used to being asked in interviews. Although it is still awkward for her, it's not as bad like before.

Q: Can we ask if the two of you have plans for a wedding soon?

The question shocked Ann a little. She never expected this will be asked to them like this, not in a sports event, but this just shows how big a celebrity Marco is.

Seeing her slight discomfort, Marco decided to answer the question for her.

"We haven't talked about that yet. For now, we're happy as we are, yoi." After that question, they excused themselves because for sure, there will be a lot of follow up questions after. Better cut it off as early as possible.

While everyone is busy being interviewed, Kidd is deliberately hiding from the press. He's done accepting interviews today and would like to be left alone, although the same thing can't be said for Sab who is being swarmed by reporters.

They were asking her a lot of questions more than they did with Ann and Luffia. A few of those questions are about her love life. They must have thought that she's still single. That irked Kidd. But then, he was reminded that their relationship is not open to the public unlike Marco and Ann's. Luffia and Zoro's were just too damn obvious, so everyone concluded that they're together even though none of them said anything.

Kidd took his cellphone and opened his official Instagram account. Yes, he has an Instagram account, something Killer told him to do. He posts there from time to time and mostly pictures of his bikes or anything related to his company. There's nothing in there that is about his personal life aside from those two mentioned.

Looking at Sab again, he decided to post their picture taken during Day 1 of the event.

Kidd was leaning on his bike while he has his right arm wrapped around her shoulder blades. It was a great picture. He posted it with a caption: "Winning races together."

There's no need to put anything more than that. Their gestures are enough to make sure that the public will know that they are together. He does not want them to think that Sab is still single and ready to mingle because hell, he won't allow it.

As soon as Sab escaped the interview, she noticed Kidd's stares, like a predator waiting for his prey and she can't help but shiver. His stares are sending shivers down his spine. This is a reminder of what was promised. With a smirk, she approached him.

"If stares could do something, I think I would have been naked a long time ago with how much you stare at me." She whispered at him after wrapping her arms around his neck.

"Oh, you won't. Not here at least." He answered before stealing a kiss from her. "I do love seeing you in this uniform. Although, I'd like to see this on my floor instead."

She broke into a chuckle after hearing his cheesy pick-up line.

"Don't worry. It will be tonight." Kidd licked his lips in anticipation. Only a few more hours and she's all his.

===XXX===XXX===XXX===

WGC and SHI rented a venue for their afterparty. There are more than 500 people who attended the party. Most of them are staff, employees, organizers, and friends.

The sisters are the stars of the night after revealing their identities. So many people congratulated them, making them busy to go around talking to different people.

Later into the night, the drinking party started. Many are using today's event just to get drunk. Sab's been provided with several drinks throughout the night, making her a little tipsy.

"You're not going to get drunk on me tonight." The baritone voice surprised Sab a little especially after she was spun towards the man.

"No, of course not." She ditched her glass of vodka in favor of wrapping her arms around his neck. "Here to claim your prize?"

"Shall we ditch this party?" His eyes are intoxicating her, it was so passionate that it's making her shiver in anticipation.

"Of course." As soon as Kidd heard her answer, he dragged her towards the parking lot to get the hell out of this place.

"Here." Kidd tied the jacket on Sab's waist because what they're going to use is his motorbike and her dress is not suitable when riding his motorbike.

Sab took the helmet and put it on, waiting for him to start the engine before she can get behind him. Never in her life did she imagine to be riding a motorbike with a dress on, but she finds it to be less important right now.

The ride was pretty much short considering he's speeding past the limit and thankfully, no angry police officers are chasing after them.

As soon as they arrived at his house, Kidd immediately dragged her inside and the moment the door was closed, he pinned her to the wall then kissed her hungrily. It surprised her a little, but she can't say that she's not expecting it.

His kisses are hungry as if he wants to devour her and she won't mind at all. This experience is something new to her but it does not mean that she is not anticipating it. There's eagerness in her responses to his kisses but deep down, she also feels nervous. The nervousness is easily masked by the hunger and passion she's feeling right now, especially when he picked her up so their mouths are on the same height level.

Her moans are making her blush in embarrassment but she has no time to dwell with it when she felt him moving towards the stairs, never letting her go.

Kidd kicked the door to his bedroom open and kicking it closed as well. His excitement is over the top, his heart is beating loudly but he finds it in himself not to care. All he cares about is her, responding to him with as much passion as he could provide.

His strides towards his bed are fast, almost throwing her to the bed so he could get out of his shirt. Stupid shirt with a lot of buttons!

Impatience got the better of him as he yanked his shirt open, buttons flying everywhere. He does not care if he will ruin his shirt, what he cares about is just to get naked right there and then.

While he's undressing, Sab took the initiative to get naked as well. Slowly taking off her dress until she's wearing nothing but her lingerie.

"God, you are gorgeous." Kidd whispered before kissing her senseless. She instinctively opened her mouth, inviting him in and he did - without hesitation, tasting the hotness her mouth can provide.

While their mouths are busy devouring each other's, their hands won't stay still. Kidd's hands are all over her, making her shiver and moan his name which he dearly loves. His hand impatiently went to unclasp the hook of her bra until it fell off, leaving her topless. Kidd did not waste his time to take this opportunity to feel the soft mounds presented in front of him and was rewarded by another moan.

His lips left her lips for a moment in favor of kissing her neck down to her chest area, leaving traces where it was as if marking her as his. Her moans serve as his music, turning him on more than he expected it to be.

"Oh god..." She moaned louder as soon as Kidd took one of her breasts using his mouth while the other is being fondled by his hand. She could do nothing but reach for his hair. The pleasure is getting too much especially when his mouth starts to travel downwards towards a very sensitive area.

"Kidd!" Sab yelped in surprise when he ripped the last piece of her clothing.

"Don't worry. You won't be needing these in the next few days." He smirked at her while twirling the ripped panties using his hand. Sab's eyes went wide at his declaration. "I told you, you won't be able to walk." It sounds like a warning and Sab should be horrified but instead, she felt nothing but excitement.

Seeing her naked in front of him, he can't help but lick his lips in anticipation. Since when did he feel this excited? He can't remember when was the last time he felt so excited. It was only with her that he feels so many emotions and bringing out expressions he never thought he had.

"Don't you think it's unfair I am the only one naked here?" She did not wait for him to say anything before she took his belt off and opened the button of his pants which is visibly too much of constriction for his erection.

Kidd took off his pants, leaving him with his boxer briefs on. His erection cannot be hidden and it wants to spring free from the fabric.

"You're driving me crazy." Kidd moaned when he felt her fingers slowly slipping in the hem of his boxer briefs, teasing him nonstop. He took her lips again in an almost bruising kiss while his hands traveled downwards, feeling the wetness between her thighs.

He was awarded a moan which just inspired him to continue. Rubbing inside her, he felt that she's tight as hell and this is when he knew that this is her first time. It's surprising that it is. He's expecting that she's not - not that he minded whichever, but the idea that he's her first is making him proud and undeniably happy.

After finding out that this is her first time, he slowed down his pace, making sure to please her to make this easier for her. Every moan is making his erection harder than ever. He wants her this badly.

And she felt the same. Hands traveling down to his erection, Kidd winced when he felt her hands but he loved it. This woman is sending him to heaven. She's not the type to sit still and do nothing and this is one of the qualities he loves about her.

"Are you going to cum, baby?" He seductively asks, licking on her jawline while thrusting his fingers inside her, sending unexplainable pleasures inside her.

"Uhm - " Sab can't even form a proper sentence, her body is too sensitive at the moment. Even if she wants to delay her release, she can't because Kidd never let her. "Uh-wait - Ah!" She just came but Kidd did not let her rest. His condom-clad erection is already aligned in her entrance, swiftly placing the tip in.

It stings a little because this object is bigger than his fingers.

"Relax for me, baby." He said before slowly thrusting inside her until he's fully in. "Fuck, you're so damn tight." He said. As much as he wants to move, he prevented himself from not to until she gets used to his girth.

She was panting heavily. "Oh god, move, please." She almost begged but she didn't need to. That was Kidd's intention from the very beginning. Moving into a slow rhythm at first, he makes note of her favorite spots that made her moan louder.

His rhythm became unstable when he came close to his release and so as she. It was damn satisfying but nowhere near enough for him. He discarded the condom and opened a new one making her go wide-eyed.

"W-Wait, we just - "

"Uh-huh. Don't expect one round will be enough. I told you several times, you won't be able to walk tomorrow." He smirked at her deviously, making her blush and before she knows it, she was whiled around, her face on the pillow as he enters her again.

Simply put, Kidd's room is filled with moans until around 4 AM.

===XXX===XXX===XXX===

OMAKE:

AT THE RAFTEL PALACE:

Roger can't help but feel that something is going on that he should know. As usual, he cannot point it out.

ROUGE: Honey, are you okay?

ROGER: Yeah but I can't help but feel that something is going out there.

ROUGE: *Raises and eyebrow then sigh* Let's just go to sleep.

The couple went back to bed but the feeling in Roger's guts is still there.

Sometime during the middle of the night:

Roger woke up feeling that there should be someone he needs to kill right now.

Sometime around 3 am.

Roger woke up once more, feeling that he really has someone he should kill right now.

Suddenly, he thought of her daughters. What are they doing right now? He was about to get up and call their home phone when Rouge woke up as well, slightly confuse as to why roger is about to reach out the telephone.

ROUGE: Honey, what are you doing?

ROGER: I'm going to call on our daughters if they are safe and sound. *With stubbornness in his tone*

ROUGE: Are you serious? What time is it? For goodness' sake, its not even morning yet. Call them later, okay?

Roger reluctanly went back to sleep.

The moment Roger woke up, the feeling he has grew each moment. He went to his office feeling something dreading inside him. There was a party last night... And his daughters... His daughters are there... Once again, his mind are in shambles while a murderous aura is written over his face.

Rayleigh took notice of this.

RAYLEIGH: You seem upset. Did you got yelled again?

ROGER: No. Worse.

RAYLEIGH: Worse?

ROGER: I have to kill someone. *With a very serious tone – more like murderous*

Rayleigh stammered.

RAYLEIGH: I'm sorry? I must have heard you wrong.

ROGER: *Looks straight to Rayleigh* I have to kill someone.

Rayleigh continued to blink at him, unbelieving his bestfriend is out for blood.

RAYLEIGH: W-Who are you going to kill?

Roger did not say anything but his mind has three men. He just does not know which one he should start with first.
