Garp's angry gaze turned towards the Admiral, about to lift himself up but for Sengoku's voice to stop him. "Don't do anything stupid Garp." Garp silently cursed the magma Admiral.

"(Y/N)!" Ace and Luffy called in shock, as Ivankov and Jimbei helped prepare him for his plan.

"Captain!" A familiar voice rang out. Your body was about to hit the ground until you were stopped by a sudden gush of wind that was somehow holding you up. You tried to catch your breath as you were slowly let down onto the ground.

'Damn. He's too fast for me to sense with Kenbunshoku Haki.' You looked down at yourself, your dress shirt was once again burnt, and parts of your arms were red.

'I'm trying to save my Buso Haki, but maybe I should've used more. He's a dick, but he's also an Admiral for a reason.' You thought with narrowed eyes as you slowly tried to pick yourself up collecting your buster sword on the ground, then realizing something wasn't on your head. You put a hand on your (h/c) hair in alarm as you tried to search for it. It was in front of you once you turned your head to the right, only to see the one holding it was none other then Jet.

Your eyes widened.

"Jet!" Jet smirked.

"Hello Captain!" He greeted you back. Your eyes slowly narrowed as you stood fully up with your shoulders tensed in anger.

'The Silver Judgement pirates?' Three warlords and a marine thought. As well as the strong marines in the plaza.

"I told you to stay away from this war! You're supposed to be in Saboady! Are the others here as well?!" You glanced behind Jet to confirm your question. Hak was behind Jet, as he fought marines while the others were scattered in fights as well. "If we weren't here, you would've been in the bottom of the ocean!" Hak answered.

You paused in thought, as you looked around at the broken and melting ice. Your lips turned to a frown. They still shouldn't be here. You opened your mouth to scold them once more, only for you to hear them announce again they are commencing with Ace's execution. Your eyes widened as you turned your body around to see the executioners having their blades ready. Then spotting Luffy get above the siege wall with the help of Jimbei.

You bit your lip as you turned towards your crew, assessing them quickly. They don't have many injuries, and their Haki seems to be alright. Not low. And they are fighting quite well. You internally nodded to yourself.

They can handle themselves.

You called Hak, for him to do a favor for you. He smirked and said no problem as he quickly finished his fight with the marine and came over as you told him your plan, him nodding along. Once they were ready, Jet called your name once again. You turned towards him curiously.

Jet raised his hand with your MARINE cap slowly.

You looked at it and slowly rose your hand only to stop, hesitating.

The crew watched in worry at the conflicting emotions across your face as you tried to decide if you should take it or not. Smoker watched with sad eyes, seeing (Y/N)'s hesitation.

'Why would she want it back anyway?' Smoker thought tightly. His words when they were kids seemed to be wrong. It seems it does matter if you're a child of a pirate...that hat that she's always cared for... the one object that connects them.

Crocodile watched silently at Silver Blood's struggle with herself, a memory tugging in his brain.

"When you first woke up, I didn't miss how you stared at this old trash."

"Treasure." She corrected. "That's my treasure."

Doflamingo watched with curious eyes on what the young conflicted once marine would do. She has no idea what to decide.

Mihawk glanced at her.

'Will you leave your beloved cap that you've called treasure for all these years? Or abandon it cause of the truth within it?' Mihawk thought to himself.

You looked at the MARINE cap, gazing into it as your hand was frozen in the air.

"We did it Smoker!" You said with a laugh as you held your cap between your hands, looking at it and then up at him. He already put it on his head when he got it from Garp. Garp laughed heartily at you as he stood in front of them proudly.

"You sure did (Y/N). Smoker. Both of you will be fine marines."

You smirked as you put your cap on your head snugly.

"I'll be better then fine! I'm going to be the strongest girl marine out there! And Smoker shall be my henchmen."

Garp laughed as Smoker scowled at you.

"Who would want to follow an arrogant leader like you idiot!"

"A Smobaka."

Smoker got tick marks as he grabbed your head and pushed it down as you cried out in surprise. Garp laughing louder as tears went down his face.

"Brat!"

You've had had this since the beginning. Since you were just a kid. A kid who no one cared about besides their dead mother. Until a bad boy with a scowl and a crazy old guy came around.

"Does this look weird?" You asked Smoker beside you as you tried out different ways to wear your hat. Smoker glanced at you right at the moment you put the hat slanted against your head.

"You look like an idiot." He said blankly as he turned back to cleaning his weapon.

"Hey!" You smacked his head hard with the hilt of your sword as Smoker cursed angrily . "That's not what I asked! You need to clean your ears Smobaka!"

Even when you advanced within the marine forces, you kept it on your head. In good condition with no sign of a nick or mark. Even in CP9, you kept it close as you slept. It helped you sleep sometimes after all. Always near you, never letting it out of your sight. Not even for a measly second.

There was a reason for that.

"You know (Y/N), you don't have to wear the cap anymore. You're an Ensign now." Smoker said as they walked as you adjusted the cap on your head with a smile. You turned your head towards him, your smile turning into a smirk.

"Is that jealousy I hear~? The hat too ugly for ya?" Smoker scowled at you as he yelled a no. You laughed and put a hand to his shoulder in apology as you said you were kidding.

"Then why? You wanna wear it like that guy Akainu?" Your face turned to a scowl of your own as you stuck your tongue out with disgust.

"Ew, no! Who wants to be like that hothead? I don't like him. You saw how he was treating some of the new recruits." Smoker frowned, silently agreeing with you but tilted his head. You rubbed the back of your neck as you looked up to the cieling as they walked.

"It's cause,"  You turned your head towards him in a smile as you touched and rubbed your cap.

"Cause—"

"For the record," Jet's low voice began as he looked at his savior. "To a lot of people in this world," he rose your cap higher towards your face as he put a reassuring hand on your shoulder, squeezing it as he gave a soft smile, "You mean something to them." He finished carefully, the crew behind him giving a careful smile of their own as your gaze was back onto your cap.

Your lips twitched, as a warmth spread within your chest.

'Idiots.' You thought fondly.

You quickly grabbed it, putting it back firmly on top of your head as you adjusted the straps. Then bringing a hand to the rim, as you rubbed it fondly, carefully.

'Good, it's not damaged.' You thought with relief, unaware of the surprised murmurs and stares around pirates and marines alike.

"She..."

"Put it back on...?!"

"Why? The effort she had to do to get it means nothing."

"Silver Blood is so strange for a pirate..."

"Straw Hat Luffy!" You tensed as you looked out, trying to see over the now awake Oars Jr.

You have to help Luffy rescue Ace now!

"Hak! Do it now! That's an order!" You yelled.

"Yes! Captain!"

'It's still my treasure.' You thought with a hand on your cap in preparation, your sword behind you to not get damaged for your plan.

.

.

.

Well...don't you have wonderful people around you? It's okay.

You're okay.

Now, GO RESCUE ACE!
