Chapter 4
It can Happen

They woke early the next morning and Ace had her again. "Ace," Zari panted as she took hold of his shoulders. "Ace I'd love to do the horizontal tango with you again but your captain did send you out on a mission. Teach must pay for his crime against your crew, captain and your friend!" Zari said seriously yet softly.

"You're right," Ace said seriously and then kissed her forehead. They both got dressed. Zari picked up Ace's hat, placed his hat on his head, and then kissed him. Ace smiled and adjusted his hat as Zari placed her swords under her sash. Then they were off in search of Teach.

A few months passed and Zari became moody, oddly hungry, and sick sporadically throughout the day and night. Ace was concerned and did a lot of holding her hair and back rubs. He had an idea what was occurring.

"Ace, you must know what's going on." Zari said taking his hand in hers. She put his hand on her bulged stomach, and they felt the baby move.

"So you're now a punching bag - explains a lot." Ace said looking up at her.

"Meaning?" Zari responded starting to feel a little anger rise. However she fought back the urge to snap at him.

"That if I was being beaten up from the inside I would be sick too." Ace said and that made Zari smile.

"I'm glad you're a little more refined than your brother," Zari said with a sigh. "This little one is half of you and half of me put together. I’m curious how a child of someone with a devil's fruit will turn out." Zari said happily.

"We'll see," Ace said softly and then kissed her gently. "Well that explains your swinging moods."

They walked towards the village on the Banaro Island where they heard Teach was heading towards a few days back. "Zari - if he's here I want you to escape with the villagers." Ace said with complete seriousness. Zari became a little sad and concerned, but she agreed to do as he asked. Ace slipped his arm around her shoulders and embraced her. "Don't worry I'll be okay. I'll find you when this is over." He whispered in her ear and then kissed her passionately.

Shortly after that, Zari saw Teach and his crew go into a building and she pointed it out to Ace. He scowled seriously at the building. "Zari, go now - get away from here. I'll wait until they come out to fight them." Ace said as he looked into her eyes. Zari looked at him with concern in her eyes.

"You be sure to come back to me." Zari said gently taking hold of his hand. Ace knew that she was scared for him. He squeezed her hand and then kissed her passionately. "I love you, Ace."

"I'll come back, okay. Just get somewhere safe as fast as you can." He said handing her his bag and then kissed her forehead. She watched him jumped onto the closest roof. Zari released a heavy sigh, and it took all that was in her to walk away.

Ace placed himself on the roof of the building across from where Teach was in. He didn't have to wait long until Teach and his crew exited the building. Ace confronted Blackbeard on his crimes against one of his nakama and Whitebeard. Blackbeard tries to get Ace to join his nakama, and Ace told him not a chance.
So Zari's feed up with a sham of a relationship with a certain swordsman. She needs some time away from the Mugiwara crew to clear her head and ends up travelling with an old flame. How will the tides treat her and her new lover? Onegai R&R
