Chapter Text
Having a baby wasn’t as hard as they thought it would be, Ace was a happy baby, yes he cried but not a lot, still the commanders would appreciate not being woke up at three in the morning but they wouldn’t change the baby.
Pops drank less alcohol since they took the baby, “I don’t want him to grow up without a father,” he explained.
Everyone was happier with him, his laugh make everyone smile, his smile make everyone’s heart warm and some even stopped smoking because it would be bad for the baby.
Having a baby wasn’t as hard as they thought... oh they said those words too soon.
“Come on, Ace, here comes the train,” Thatch was trying to make a seven months old Ace eat some well mashed vegetables. It was just half of a cup but he didn’t like carrots and was avoiding to eat them. “Come on, little one, you have to eat this,” Thatch said opening his mouth wide open in hope the baby would mimic him. He did not.
He tried again, this time Ace tried to babble something and he took the chance to make him eat, carefully of course. Oh, bad move, terrible move.
The moment the food touched his tongue everyone, every single pirate, on the galley fell a strong wave that knocked out some of them. Conqueror haki.
Ace. A seven months old baby. Has conqueror haki.
Oh they were fucked up. There was no way to teach a baby how to control that.
He looked at the other commanders on the table and the captain, then he looked around the galley, everyone was shocked by what just happened.
“Well,” Thatch said after the shock passed, “no more carrots for you.” This make Ace giggle. “Don’t be so happy, I still have spinach.”
Whitebeard of course, laughed at this. “Marco, watch over him.” He say standing up. “I have to prepare something else.”
