Marco's POV

The vivre card began to change, and it will take a while for Moby Dick to change course. So, Pops deployed me and Ace on the search for the red haired girl. 

We soon reached an island, the villagers greeted us well and lucky us, they did saw Luna alongside Yumiko and Leo...This is not good. 

"Are you sure this is where she is?" Ace said as he leans closer to the little bottle on my palm, "The vivre card never fail us before-yoi" I said as we continue to walk, "Secure this place, don't let pirates invade!" those word shook us making us jump on a building and hid there. 

"Marines?" Ace whispered as we saw a couple of marines surrounded the village, only them not their admirals. "Where did Admiral Leo go?" a marine asked, "He said he wanted to settle some things on top of some hill, better not go.." the other marines nodded and began patrolling. 

I looked at Ace and we both nodded before sprinting towards the only hill in this island. 

Then

CRRASSHH!!!!!!!!

Both me and Ace hid on top of tree as we saw something that made our jaws literally dropped. Luna was there, but was dueling with a half beaten Yumiko and exhausted Leo. She was using a black and red scythe with a gun while Yumiko used 2 rifles, and Leo using 2 swords. 

They didn't seem to saw us, and I looked beside me to see Ace already passed out. I sigh, as I looked back at the fight. 

Then, I saw Leo's swords heading towards Luna's back. I couldn't stand down, I got up and transformed into a phoenix as I rushed kicking the swords, startling the trio instantly. 

Luna's POV

They're still amateurs, I began to block Yumiko's bullets and attacking Leo. Then, she cornered me. I could hear Leo's swords clashing and heading towards my back, damn it! 

I was about to turn but I couldn't look away from Yumiko, she will kill me instantly that way!

Then, I heard it. The swords behind me were kicked and we were startled by it. 

We jumped away and the sight literally makes my blood boiled. "Marco?!" I shouted as the said half phoenix landed and glared at me. "What the hell?!" Leo and Yumiko shouted as they withdraw their weapons, but not me. "You can't even accept a little request, can you?!" I shouted as I sprint towards him with my scythe. This guy!

Normal POV

Marco easily dodged the attack given by Luna, but she didn't back down in fact she got up and began to counter attack. 

"This is why you run away?! To fight a crazy bitch and an admiral-yoi!!" Marco shouted, making Luna's eyes widen but soon it turn into a glare. She didn't fade however she took out her gun and began shooting him, not aware the 2 amazed figures behind them who soon followed by Ace. 

"We searched every island for you!" Luna's head snapped back to see Ace, "And I'm sorry for what happened!" he shouted again, earning a smirk from Luna. 

They soon stopped, "Why the hell did you search for me? I thought I wasn't needed" Marco shook his head, "Pops saw something special and he insists you come and join us-yoi" "So, now I'm just someone who's special? I'll be forgotten once they knew what I'm capable of" Marco and Ace then shook their heads. 

"That's not it, there's another reason why I'm desperate to search for you-yoi" now all eyes on Marco, "You're the one that desperate to search for me?" now Luna had her arms crossed on her chest. "How cute" Luna and Yumiko said in unison. "You have fallen for Luna, haven't you?" Yumiko said with a slight smirk. Marco glared at Yumiko but looked back at Luna, "Is it true?" Marco suddenly engulfed Luna in a hug, she struggled but soon she stopped.

"I've noticed this since the first time I had my eyes on you-yoi" he said, "Oh? And what is it?" she said trying to push him away but no avail. 

"I..."
