At the Dawn Island resort where the beach wedding venue is currently held celebrating the union of Ace and Yamato’s wedding… The sun is already peeking through the horizon giving a beautiful coastal sight..
The venue started to fill with a lot of people, mainly Ace and Yamato's family and friends, which is a lot even though they decided to do their wedding as an intimate one.. And by now the said newlyweds we're already having a drink contest while being encouraged by their friends around…
Meanwhile
Monkey D. Luffy doesn't really care what the wedding is, as long as she could eat a lot of food which is why she's happily munching down the entire food on her plate..
Maybe Ace and Yamato could do this every day so she could eat a lot of food without being scolded for eating too much, not that she realized the amount of food she inhales everyday…
“Slow it down brat, no one is taking your food…” Dadan sighed with resignation watching the youngest and only omega daughter of Monkey Family…
The only good thing Garp made through Dragon…
Ace just married Yamato this morning, which left Sabo and Luffy to be single, while the blond wasn't interested in getting married yet but exploring his passion and Luffy whose life only revolves around doing martial arts, and also involved friends, food and food.. And not that they would immediately allow the youngest Monkey to date around since Luffy is known for being specifically unromantic..
Which is a good thing…
Dadan may not voice it a loud but she wouldn't want Luffy to fall down at the hands of any undeserving brute alpha just because she's omega, and she wouldn't want to deal with Garp’s wrath, that old military coot are too much protective to his one and only precious granddaughter, she already had enough of dealing with Ace and Sabo’s fierce protectiveness… Jesus, give her a break.
But it is all fortunate that Luffy wasn't interested in any alpha’s around, she is at the right age now but Garp still treats her as a 6 years old girl.. ‘God that man is annoying as hell’ Dadan thought..
But the fact is she took care of those three like her children, raising them until they grew up as fine men and woman.. Her only wish for them was to find their better match ( and Ace successfully did ) or their soulmate so they would grow old having their significant other on their side.. Especially Luffy..
Dadan couldn't wait to see who's the man destined for her, because it would take a lot of time and effort for the female Monkey to acknowledge what romance is..
“Can't Ace-nii marry Yamato everyday so there's always a feast…” Luffy chirped with a mouthful of food on her mouth which made Dadan choke and Sabo chuckled..
This brat is really unpredictable…
“At least swallow your food first!”
“No Lu, that's just today because it's Ace and Yamato's wedding party…” Sabo coaxed ruffling the youngest hair which made Luffy shrug but nonetheless continued her meal..
The party continued until night Luffy and Dadan had gone out to get to the mansion since she accidentally dirtied her clothes and now she's forced to dress something like this, she frowns looking at her reflection where she currently wears a long white sundress that peek her back.
Ever since she was a child she loved to wear shorts since it's very comfortable and she could easily move, ignoring how her classmates back then mistook her as a boy since her hair was also cut short which she doesn't care at all…
Not really..
Nami would sometimes dress her up and today Dadan said to behave since she doesn't know the other guests around, especially Ace’s friends, so she needs to look presentable and Dadan swear Luffy would forget what she said anyway, she only prays that Luffy won't get in trouble..
When Luffy heads back to the venue party, her eyes immediately zeroed towards the bar place, curiously she sat on the stool bar.
What was the thing Zoro always drinks again? Wh..whiskey?
“I want Zoro drink, Whiskey…” she announced and the loud music of the venue echoed throughout the beach..
Truthfully she never drank in her entire life although she tried once when she turned 18, juice is still better and she sees Ace earlier drinking a lot with Yamato, it wouldn't hurt to drink one right?
Once Luffy accepted the glass of whiskey she immediately gulped it down and boy it was a terrible taste, oh god!..
Why does Zoro like to drink this one!…
That decided her to taste every liquor tonight!.. She's not hungry since she already ate a lot earlier and Sabo-nii doesn't want her to have a stomach ache so she'll settle for this one just tonight..
👒
Marco shook his head watching his friend with amusement… Both Alpha's don't have any slightest intention to back down which causes the other to encourage and encourage until there's a lot of empty glass on the table..
He sighed and quietly slipped away not without nodding with Izou, a silent understanding that he'll take a stroll around.. He made his way through the venue peeking curiously around and stopping by at a pastry stand.. He decided to take a slice of lemon cake before continuing his detour that landed him in the bar area…
Marco's eyes captured the scene before him.. A girl with a straw hat that hangs on her back sat on the stool bar and on her front lay a lot of empty glasses.. Before he could think his feet were already walking down to approach..
His hand reached out before the girl landed her head on the table which may cause harm… Marco stood there frozen, this girl was drunk.. Visibly drunk.. And fuck, was she sleeping on his hand already?
Did she just fall asleep?
He put down the slice of cake on the table and gently cupped the girl’s forehead and tilted up her face..
“Miss–” his lips parted when he fully saw her face..
And just like that his heart trembled and the side of his alpha nature was howling in bliss..
She remained asleep while being cradled by his firm hands, his fingers undecidedly ruffle the strand of her hair, soft-short and messy, while her face.. Goodness someone saved him, his heart couldn't contain such a sight of her pretty cute face even if she had a scar underneath her eyes..
He hadn't even noticed that his hands were trembling as he continued to hold her.. His heart was racing nonstop, the loud music of the party simply ceased as his eyes were only focused on this unknown woman.. His soulmate.. Everything else was forgotten except to this omega in front of him..
“Huh, did I fall asleep…” shit.. Marco swallows the lump on his throat as she finally opens her eyes while he stands there frozen..
“Who’re you–”
Luffy stares blankly at the man in front… “Huh.” She only realized that he's holding her forehead and the side of her face…
“Pineapple head..”
“....”
“Pineapple head?” Marco's expression turned blank… ‘this is her first perspective towards him?’ ‘pineapple head??’
“You're a funny guy shishishi…” her boyish laughter rang in his ears, she wiggled around and Marco finally let go of her even though he didn't want to, he cleared his throat..
“You're awake..” he murmured.
“Ohh~ is that for me..” Luffy’s eyes shine seeing the lemon cake on the table..
Marco blinked as if hypnotized, he nodded…
“Thanks pineapple head, you're a good guy huh..” And proceed to eat the slice cake..
“The name's Marco, not pineapple head yoi…”
“Pineapple head..”
“Call me Marco..”
“Pineapple head..”
Marco groans… “For the 3rd time it's Marco..” he said softly… Luffy just shrugged and jumped down from the stool bar..
“I'm hungry…” she murmured.
Marco only realized that she's so short compared to him, the young woman could only reach his chest.. She's so tiny.. and cute..
“Hey–” a viola she's gone…
Marco whipped his head but she's nowhere to be found.. That's fast! He hasn't gotten her name yet!.
He sighed with frustration and pinched the bridge of his nose… He just lost the opportunity to know his soulmate.. How unlucky…
