Like A Phoenix (Marco X OC)

Part 1: Regards

Marco's POV

Its been weeks since our arrival, and today, Pops has started saying weird stuff, "Marco, my son, do we have a vacant room?" I nodded as I looked back to the list on my hand, "Please make sure that room's doors and windows are fixed" my eyes widen a bit as I turned around, this is getting weirder by the minutes, I tilted my head slightly and asked, "Why do you kept asking things like that-yoi?" my question was only answered by Pops laugh. 

"You will know it sooner or later, my son" I sigh, Pops really do love giving me more headaches. As I turned around and began scouting the entire ship, and the other 2 ships, if they have done with the loading, something flew around us caught my eyes, its as if it wanted to follow us. What a silly bird, this is your home. I smiled at the weird red phoenix's behavior. 

I shouted to set sail, and we're off. Some of the kids from the town, who wasn't afraid of us, waved at us and smiling brightly as their tiny figures disappeared in the horizon. 

I looked around, everything was normal, even the day was normal, no pirates what's so ever, except that woman 'Phoenix Empress' Luna whom I never seen before face to face. I admit, she's a beauty, the way her whip hits the marines around her as that red phoenix similar to the ones me and Ace saw clawed a marines's face, and she was sending daggers towards the marine who took her picture. 

I looked down, she had a pretty high bounty, and whenever I show this poster to Pops, he kept saying things like 'That brat's all grown up?' or 'She took her mother's side, I see'. I kept wandering who the woman is, and why is Pops so familiar with her. 

Out of nowhere, I looked up to see Pops snickered. But I pay no mind, that until, something red shocked me, I was about to scold Ace but then my eyes caught him sleeping beside Jozu and Izo, who looked at Ace and the bright flame in front of me with shock. 

The flames, it suddenly formed wings, and as it dies down, smaller and smaller, there was a feminine figure with its head down. It lifted its head as my eyes saw a pair of red orbs that literally made my heart skipped a beat. 

Normal POV

The Whitebeard Pirates was alarmed by the figure on the deck as it lifted its head, and took a step forward. The fire gathered behind the figure, forming wings. A feminine yet husky voice spoke up, "Its an honor meeting you, Whitebeard" the woman bowed down as her crimson red hair swayed along. Whitebeard chuckled, "And what can I do for you, brat?" 

With a cold yet teasing smirk, she said, "Just sending my father's regards and news", Whitebeard's smile turned into a frown after she had spoke up.
