"Two months,yoi," muttered Marco as he stood on deck,"two months since Ace joined the crew, yoi. Already, the paperwork has tripled, yoi."

"Rough day?"

Marco knew his siblings voices; that voice did not belong to one of his siblings.

Looking up Marco found out who the voice belonged to. A smirking, silver haired, golden eyed woman crouched on the riggings.

Where had she come from?

Screw that, how was she not registering on his Observation Haki?

Blue flames flickered along his shoulders as he prepared for an attack.

"How rude," she sounded amused,"I only asked a question."

"You also snuck onto Oyaji's boat,yoi."

She waved dismissively, "Eddy won't mind. And I'm only visiting to check up on Ace."

"Gurarara, you haven't changed a bit Aoi. You ready to join my crew and become my daughter?"

Leaping onto the deck, Aoi straightened her clothes.

"You know,Eddy, I'm old enough to be your grandma and I have a prior engagement."

A very confused first mate glanced between Oyaji and the newcomer.

"What the hell, yoi?"

Whitebeard just shook his head and laughed, "Gurarara; Marco, my son, meet Takashi Aoi. She taught me how to use my Devil Frui powers."

"You flatter me Eddy. I only gave you a couple tips."

Before Marco could speak, the sound of someone running and a loud crash heralded Ace's arrival on deck.

"Mom, you're here!"

"MOM?!"
