Chapter Text
"What if Gol D. Roger had a child?"
It was the same question that was asked many times, and the answer was still expected.
"Then I hope they drown in a vat of acid." a man said icily "The offspring of the devil can bring nothing but trouble to this world."
However, this time, it was different. This time, the Spade Pirates overheard. They saw that their Captain's eyes dimmed just a little.
And that was enough.
"Hey, Aggy." the first mate of Spade Pirates leaned against the wall casually "Did you hear what I heard?"
"Yes, Deuce." Aggy grinned "It appears that they wish Roger's child was dead."
"A death wish, as it is." Deuce twirled his Captain's hat around his finger "Go back to the ship, Ace. We'll catch up to you later."
"Yes, see you there." Ace waved
As soon as he was certain Ace was gone, Deuce turned to the offenders
"For the crime of wishing our Captain was dead, we sentence you to an assbeating." Deuce announced
And the Spade Pirates attacked.

They slowly nailed the offenders to the ground, one limb at the time. Once this was done, they stepped back to admire their handiwork.
"What you you think will happen?" Aggy asked
"Eh, they'll probably starve to death or die of thirst." Deuce dismissed "They wished death upon another, and our Captain at that. I'd say that this is karma."
"Yeah, they had this coming." Aggy nodded
The rest of the Spade Pirates agreed with this sentiment wholeheartedly, and so they left, returning to the ship.
They found their Captain leaning against the railing, head buried in his knees.
"Don't beat yourself up over what they said." Deuce whispered "What do you know, anyway?"
"You are you." Aggy added "You are our Captain, and no blood relations could change that."
"Thanks, guys." Ace looked up, grinning "Now, what's for lunch?"
Everyone laughed at that.
"It should be ready soon." Deuce chuckled
They may come across obstacles they had to overcome, but as long as their Captain was alive and happy, Spade Pirates would overcome all of them together, bloodlines and heritages be damned.
