    Summary

    "You want to spar at," Narumi detaches his phone from his face to check the time, "nine in the evening? Why don't you train with your beloved Captain Ashiro? Isn't she more suitable to your level?"

    Ignoring the jabs toward himself and Ashiro, Hoshina says, "Captain Ashiro is busy with her duties. You, on the other hand, have probably been playing videogames on the floor of your room all day long."

    Narumi winces slightly, not liking the fact that Hoshina seems to know him very well. They're a pebble in each other's shoes; Hoshina shouldn't be asking him to spar as if they were on friendly terms.

    Summary

    If someone had told Marco a week ago he'd be sitting in the brig of one of the Whitebeard Pirate ships, he would have kicked them out onto the ocean. Without a lifeline. But here he was, sat in that said brig, bored out of his mind.

    They were going to kill him, that much he knew already. And if they didn't, then him being stuck on this goddamn boat would bring death to him on a silver platter. He needed to get out before any of that happened.

    Now, if only they'd fucking listen and understand that, no, he isn't part of their family for sea's sake!

     

    (Or: The Whitebeards trying to adopt Marco while simultaneously trying to survive all of Marco's murder attempts, because no, they aren't his family, thank you very much.)

    (Or: My head cannon that young Marco is more angry than young Ace and running with it ten fold)

    Summary

    Ace splutters into his tankard of ale. “Two years!?

    Deuce groans. “Do not make this into a thing, I swear to god.”

    “No, no, I'm just saying,” Ace laughs, “I mean, that’s nearly as long as you’ve known me!”

    He’s not wrong. The last time Deuce had a fling was two and a half months into sailing on Ace’s crew, and he’s been in a dry spell since. Truthfully, he hasn't even been thinking about it until recently. Ace is more than enough of a handful to worry about.

    Or: Deuce is straight, so he's absolutely not going to fuck his captain in the back of a club.

    Summary

    In the past, whenever a crew he had been traveling with had decided to challenge one of the Yonko, Marco had left the island before said Yonko arrived, not wanting to be caught in the crossfire. But in the past, those Yonko had been Kaido and Big Mom.

    Whitebeard was a different story, and Marco was curious to see a Yonko’s crew in action.

    Summary

    Edward Newgate had a terrible habit of hiring fatherless, trouble-making punks in need of direction to work at his auto parts garage.

    Recently, he’s hired a 20 year old who’s currently on parol and struggling to raise his 12 year old brother on his own.

    When Marco (29) moves back to his home city, he’s hesitant to trust the new hire, who’s living rent free above Pop’s auto shop.
