Interesting Situation
Chapter 4 Interest: Killing You
Alyc stayed in her own little section of the ship that she was on, not wanting to get in the way of the pirates and making herself unknown. The method worked for every person was too busy with getting the injured treated and organizing what was happening to realize that they girl was even there. Alyc watched them all, already knowing that everything was going to be fine, that the marines had given up and accepted their defeat.
The girl's black eyes scanned the waters behind her, seeing the life of every animal that inhabited it; their life beginning and ending. She ignored the pirates around her that rushed by as they were not part of her world; they were just outside her bubble. To prevent herself from being completely in the way, Alyc had positioned herself on the railing of one of the escape ships, knowing that that was for the best.
She could hear the conversation of the man she had helped rescue for he was getting pounded with questions and was apologizing for the fact that he was the cause of this. Luffy was laughing but Ace hit him in the head and began to lecture the boy on his stupidity and for not listening to him. Alyc looked in their direction before turning back to the sea which interested her at the moment for it was the first time she had freely sailed on it.
"Isolating yourself already gaki?"
Alyc turned towards Whitebeard who stood next to her, bandages covered his body and Alyc nodded towards him before looking back at the sea. The man sat on the deck next to her but Alyc continued to watch the sea as if it was last thing in the world she would ever see.
"I should thank you for saving one of my sons." Whitebeard said and Alyc turned to him.
"Don't." she said and Whitebeard smiled a bit. "I did it because I was selfish and wanted to know what happened if I sided with the pirates."
"You still saved Ace and that brother of his." Whitebeard said and Alyc shrugged.
"Then my interest on the subject is over and I have nothing to do with it anymore." Alyc responded and a light chuckle came from the man.
"You are an interesting brat aren't you?" the man asked and Alyc turned back to the ocean. "What are you going to do know?"
"Whatever I want." Alyc said and the man turned to the ocean as well. "I quit being a marine because I lost interest in it."
"Does everything you do have to interest you?" Whitebeard asked and Alyc turned to him with a serious face.
"Of course." She said and the man laughed aloud.
A small group came towards the two of them and Alyc looked at from Ace to Marco and then to Luffy, wondering what they wanted. The group smiled at the girl who looked at them questionably. Ace walked up to her and slapped a hand across her back, a little too hard but Alyc didn't care.
"I guess I owe you for saving my brother." Ace said laughing slightly and Luffy did too.
"Actually she saved you." Marco said and Ace looked at him questionably.
"You would have jumped in front of the attack and taken the full blow of it." Alyc said and Ace looked at her shocked. "You would have died from your internal organs being burned."
"Damn now I'm glad that didn't happen." Ace said, "Sounds painful."
"Kishishishi, Ace is stupid." Luffy said and Ace got him in an arm lock and gave him a noogie making the men around the brothers laugh.
"You still owe her though Ace." Marco said and the man let go of his brother and began to think.
"I know." Ace said walking up to the girl and making everyone curious.
Ace grabbed the color of Alyc's hood and forced her closer, kissing her on front of everybody. Marco face palmed while the others laughed before Ace let go and gave the girl a triumphant chuckle. Whitebeard sighed at the man's antics but noticed that Alyc had stayed quiet but even the old man could tell that the girl was not pleased.
Before everyone had noticed anything, Alyc had Ace half way over the railing and was attempting to push him overboard. Luffy continued to laugh at this while Ace tried not to get dunked into the ocean though the girl had a firm grip on his head.
"I regret saving you now." The girl said and Ace apologized.
"I can't swim so stop." The black haired man said but Alyc didn't stop.
"I know, why do you think I'm doing this." Alyc said in a serious tone.
"What, you should feel glad that I kissed you." The man said and his friends sighed.
"Die." The girl said and Ace began to flail again and tried to save himself for his friends weren't going save him.
"Reap what you sow I guess." Marco said and the group laughed while Ace begged for their help.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE WENT WITH THEM!" Sengoku asked the marine soldier who flinched at the man's voice.
"W-we spotted her being led to the ship by Marco the Phoenix." The soldier said as Sengoku sat at his desk and rubbed his temples together. "Her hood was down so it is possible that she could have been kidnapped."
"No," Sengoku said and the man raised an eyebrow at what was said. "Alyc saved Portgas D. Ace and Monkey D. Luffy, they probably took her with them because she saved them and was going to be our target."
"Then, what are we going to do?" the man asked and Sengoku sighed.
The man had not wanted to do this, he had though that this day would never come and was almost certain when the girl had joined the marines. He was not like Garp and couldn't simply laugh something like this off the way that man did. But this time he had to make a decision that Sengoku had to make even if it was the last he wanted to.
"Gather the five stars, we need to make wanted posters immediately." The man said and the marine saluted him before rushing off and doing so. "Why did it come to this?"
"You have no choice Sengoku." Garp said once again entering the office of his old friend. "If you didn't give Alyc-chan a bounty, people would think that you are favoriting her because she's your granddaughter."
"I know; how did you handle putting a bounty on both your grandsons?" Sengoku asked and Garp smiled.
"I was more angry at them than anything but I know that their decision was one that they would live with." Garp said and Sengoku nodded. "They have the right to choose their own path though I wish that they had chosen the path of a marine instead."
"Ah, but that is something that cannot be changed." Sengoku said as he looked out the window where Alyc would always be after escaping from the marines for doing something stupid. "Just have to pray that she doesn't do anything stupid enough to get herself killed."
"I should kill you for that girl." Ace said after Alyc had finally released him and he was back on the ship. "Now that I think about it…"
"You think?" Alyc asked and Ace glared at her.
"Well, we don't even know your name and a lot about you so spill." Ace said and Alyc sighed knowing that they would find out eventually.
"My name is Alyc and I was a captain rank in the marines." The girl said and the pirates nodded. "I'm also Fleet Admiral Sengoku's granddaughter."
