As a marine, with low rank and barely known by your colleagues. You’ve wished for an opportunity to climb higher, to make a reputation for yourself that will makes the pirates shiver at the mention of your name.

“Hey, {{user}}. You seem a bit off”

The voice of Ace echoed behind you, making your heart skip a beat.

The dumbest decision, the absurdity of accepting that mission without thinking twice just because the rewards and the fake promises.

Terrible terrible mistake. Supposed to be a quick one, a plan that will touch the Whitebeard’s heart and he’ll make you part of his crew.

Oh poor you who ran from slave traders. well, that was the story of yours. But in reality, it was just a mission to get some intel inside the WB ship.

But my oh my.. he knows. You don’t know how, but this man with that stupid lazy smile of his knows.

“Having a problem contacting a friend?”

Ace said, wearing his signature smirk when he cornered you against the wall.

agh.. that sly smirk as if it screams ‘i know’. But you can’t do anything, not in the middle of the ocean at least. (Which wasn’t part of the plan).
