It wasn't every day that something stirred on the Moby Dick before sunrise.
Even if that was just a reason to celebrate again.
There was also something to celebrate.
The youngest member, who has only recently been a member, had his 18th birthday today.
Yawning and tired, the sons of Whitebeard tried to meet the requirements of the commanding officer, the second division.
"Come on, hurry up! If you can't finish, I'll put a fire under your bum!" Growled Ace.
Marco, the phoenix, then only obscured his eyes.
"And that's just because of his flame!" He grumbled and passed the decoration on to Vista.
"What am I supposed to ...?"
"Just do it! I have to talk to Dad!", Marco turned quickly and went to the gigantic throne on which Whitebeard was sitting.
The nurses wanted to separate him from his sake again, but, as always, was unsuccessful.
"Dad? Can I speak to you for a moment?", Marco asked politely, but he restrained his patience because Ace was yelling some of his brothers in the background.
"A nice day, isn't it Marco?" With these words Edward Newgate drained his sake bowl.
"If he had started differently, then maybe. I can't imagine that this big surprise for Yuna could end in such a way that we did all the work!", The phoenix snorted.
"Gurarara. For the surprise he came up with something else.", Whitebeard said and smiled at his son.
Marco didn't understand anything anymore.
What else should Ace have prepared?
"Follow the instructions. I'll have a look at my sweetie!" Grinned Ace and disappeared into his bunk.
"I would also like to have a girlfriend!" Sighed Jozu.
"So that you can do such crazy things? No,Oneis enough!", Marco said, looking at the deck.
Tables and benches had been set up so that all the pirates had room.
There was also a summer island nearby where there would have been more space, but Whitebeard was against it.
'Guaranteed to have something to do with the surprise! Ace is guaranteed to let father in! 'thought the phoenix and joined his brothers who had taken a short break.
"Honestly, I envy Ace. I'd like a girlfriend like that too!"
"Of course. She doesn't tolerate alcohol. Even with Coke she gets drunk!", Marco grumbled.
"Could it be that you are a little jealous?" Vista grinned at the commander of the first division.
"You haven't had anything to laugh about since Yuna came on board, right?" Haruta intervened.
Marco blinded his eyes in annoyance.
"The only thing that bothers me is this effort. Was there such a big party for Dad?" He asked.
There was silence while they pondered.
"When you see it that way ...", Jozu muttered.
"Exactly!" Growled Marco. "Ace has gone back to his loved one and we're allowed to work!"
"That's because without him she gets restless and would wake up immediately.You can work out the rest for yourself. "said the commander of the twelfth division.
"I see."
Suddenly Jozu laughed out loud.
"Or is it because she once flambéed your hair during training ?! That's why you don't talk to her very well!"
With a flush of shame, Marco turned away from the group while the others curled up on the floor with laughter.
Did he have to be reminded?

Ace quietly opened the door to his bunk.
Yuna was still sleeping peacefully in her bed.
Fire fist let out a relieved breath. It was difficult for him to plan everything and he also got help from Dad, but he still had to leave her alone for a few hours.
What Yuna really didn't like at all or was afraid of it.
He smiled and examined her more closely.
She had long, straight, black hair with strands of white and purple. Her bangs were cut at an angle and covered her left eye a little. There was a small, straight scar above her right eye.
How much he loved to get lost in her violet eyes!
But suddenly Ace stopped moving when he saw Yué next to her.
He had totally forgotten Yuna's pet, a white she-wolf.
Since the right arm of the black-haired woman was on Yué's back, you could clearly see her tattoo. It was the Japanese symbol of love.
Grinning, he also stroked the head of his pet, which earned his girlfriend the nicknameWolf Girl. With 75 million berries, the 1.75 meter tall, now 18-year-old, was already a threat to so-called justice.
Just being a member of the Whitebeard gang made her an enemy.
In addition, she was very familiar with her swordHizumiand with her Persus bowMoon.
In addition to the suffering of the Navy, there was also the fact that it could control elements. Most often she used water. Much to the suffering of the individual members, because Yuna could freak out about little things and wash overboard, it worked best.
But she quickly forgot that.
But her brothers don't.
Ace had been disappointed, one or more times, and then sat in the corner pouting.
Of course, he kept forgiving her. After all, the commander of the second division also had his weaknesses.
When a pair of black eyes watched him, Ace finally turned away from his girlfriend.
"Please be quiet. Yuna should sleep a while longer!", Whispered the fire fist.
Yué cocked her head and Ace hoped she understood.
Because, with Roger, only Yuna could talk to her she-wolf, for whatever reason.
Ace quietly disappeared from the room and went on deck.

"Well, what do you think of your brothers?" Whitebeard asked his son, grinning.
The latter was speechless when he saw the deck that had been decorated."Did I miss something?" He gaped.
"It's child's play!"
"We are ready to distract Yuna!"
"Will you take care of the rest?" Marco finally asked and put on a mean grin.
"Yeah sure!" Came from Ace.
The black-haired man grabbed his striker and the duffel bag that was stuffed full.
Under the death penalty, Ace had forbidden his brothers to look inside the sack.
Grinning, they followed his threat.
Because everyone could figure out what was hidden in the sack.

Ace reached Summer Island with relief. It seemed uninhabited and peaceful. The perfect place for a romantic picnic.
Even if he wasn't the romantic, he still knew that all women liked it.
"What was that?", Vista was startled and looked up at the sky.
"Are you afraid of a bird now?" Laughed Jozu.
"No, but it flew so low," muttered the commander of the fifth division.
"It's just a hawk!" Growled Marco.
"A hawk, then?" Whitebeard thought aloud.
"Is something wrong, father?" Asked Fossa, who had just arrived.
"No, everything is okay. Gurarara."
The commander of the 15th Division looked irritated at his brothers, but they could not answer his unspoken question either.
"Morning.", Mumbled a female voice next to Edward Newgate, ensuring silence on board.
"What 'n?", Yuna asked sleepily and didn't even get what was going on.
"I wish you a good morning, daughter.", Whitebeard turned to the black-haired woman.
"Is something wrong?" She asked puzzled.
Annoyed, Marco wiped his face with his hand. Why had Yuna adjusted to Ace so?
"Okay, guys!", The phoenix gave the sign.
"Happy 18th birthday, Yuna!" shouted the sons of Whitebeard and the captain lifted the birthday boy on his lap.
"What's going on now?" The Wolf Girl burst out.
"Gurarara. Don't say you forgot your birthday," laughed Whitebeard.
"Right. Now that you say it, father.", Yuna remembered again.
"Now you're big enough to finally tolerate alcohol!" Grinned Vista.
"Hee! You know very well that I can't stand this stuff!" She grumbled.
"Then we'll help you!" Agreed the others.
"You drunkards!" Grumbled the element tamer, while her gaze stopped at something very large.
"So what is that?"
"Your birthday cake!" Beamed the cooks.
"How many floors does it have?", Yuna began to count.
"18!" Shouted the pirates in unison and the wolf girl jumped from her father's lap.
"Who should eat that? Hm, looks delicious!", She confessed.
"Well, let's toast your birthday!", Izou shouted and gave Yuna a glass of orange juice.
"But really, what kind of huge cake is that?"
"A chocolate cream cake with an extra lot of cherries!"Haruta explained.
"Really now?"
"Really now!" Grinned Izou.
"This is amazing! Can I eat it all by myself?", The eyes of the black-haired woman beamed.
It was huge, almost as big as Whitebeard. The individual floors alternated with cream and chocolate. The icing on the cake was of course the big cherry on the cake, which one would not get at easily.
"Only with our help!", Vista grinned at her question.

Ace had woken up to the blast of his sleep bladder. Yawning, he looked around and saw that it was already afternoon.
"Damn it!" Ace swore.
If he didn't hurry up soon, Yuna would never forgive him for his absence.
He took another quick look at the picnic that had been prepared - it looked really stunning - then ran quickly to his striker and drove off at breakneck speed.
As he approached the Moby Dick, he heard the usual noises of the party, that is: singing and the clink of beer mugs.
Shaking his head, Ace landed on the deck and looked around the partying people until he spotted his black-haired friend.
In a good mood, Yuna was just emptying her juice until her purple eyes met his blacks.
Ace walked towards her with a loving smile until they met in the middle of the deck.
"Where have you been?", Yuna asked with a sad look, but she was glad that he was back.
"I just had to prepare something, as I can see you started the cake without me!" Laughed Ace and got a strong, not serious, nudge from his beloved.
So she had already received her presents. He was really late.
"How can you always think about food?", The black-haired woman asked herself more than her boyfriend.
"Don't feel like that! Come with me! I'll show you something wonderful!", The fire fist smiled mysteriously and pulled Yuna by the wrist with her.
"We'll go then!" He shouted to his brothers, who knowingly dedicated themselves to the celebration.
"Are we there
