Ace POV

We all waited outside on the dock around 7am.
Naomi was persistent to stay out.

She stayed out viewing the ocean as she normally does while Marco and I sat on chairs.

The more I began to stare at Naomi, the more familiar she looks.
I don't understand why I can't seem to remember.

Naomi began walking towards us.
"We should be close. I'm gonna go change."
Before we could even say anything, she had already made her way inside.

I looked at Marco who sat beside me.
"Do you think we'll ever see her again?" Marco questioned.

I thought of question as one you don't answer to.

I didn't want Naomi to leave. I want her to join us. Join the Whitebeard pirates. Whitebeard and the others would absolutely love her.

As I looked at Marco , he seemed to be thinking as well before looking at me like he had the same idea.

"She should join the Whitebeard pirates!" We said at the same time.

"After we fight off these pirate scums, we'll ask her." I told Marco as he nodded.

Naomi came out.

She had  changed her outfit. She wore what she had on when I first saw her.

The cloak that disguises her completely.

"Naomi?" I hear Marco question.

"What is it Marco?"

"I just didn't think it was you under there..
Why are you wearing that? I can't even recognize you."

"That's the point." She spat out.

"We should be getting there by now."  She said as she walked forward where she can look out to sea.

Marco and I had gotten up the moment she came out.

I walked toward her, getting the same view she'd see.

Through the fog, an island started to appear from the distance.

"My ship!" I hear Naomi say and point off to where she sees it.

Marco and my eyes are about to pop out of our sockets once we've seen her ship.

"T-that's your s-ship?" Marco asked Naomi

It may not be as big as the Mobydick but it looks a lot more expensive.

"Yes, now can we focus?" Naomi retorted.

The island we docked at was very small.

"We can't be to loud or noticeable, this seems to be their island." She shot back.

Since we were on a quite small boat, hiding it wasn't a big problem.

"You guys can stay here." She said before beginning to walk off.

"No way, we're coming with you." I said and walked behind her followed by Marco.

"No" Naomi said without fully giving us a glare.
She seemed serious as if she was hiding something.
