Marco's POV

I was talking to Thatch when suddenly, Ace's annoying voice shouted "Something is heading this way!!" when he shouted, the others began to run around with their weapons. 

Ace and I ran to the center of the deck, it was red, flaming red but what made my eyes widen was..

It was a red phoenix

Ace hit it with his firefist but no avail, it past through the phoenix. As it close in on us, we surrounded ourselves around Pops to protect him from whatever danger that phoenix brought. 

CRASSSHHH!!!

It was loud, dust was everywhere but we still stood our guards. 

"What the hell!?" Ace shouted as he covered his eyes with his hat, the other followed quickly but not me, I jumped and transformed my arms into wings in order to avoid the dust. 

Soon, it calmed down. I dropped down beside Ace. Fists on fire as we close in on the phoenix, it was majestic as hint of yellow and orange can be seen on its red body. Fire flickered everywhere as it surprisingly didn't burn the ship. It eyes was closed and its body rise and fall slowly signalling its alive but on the verge of death. 

Then, its wings started to flap slowly. We backed up as it eyes shot open quickly and began to fly. I heard it, it was whimpering in pain and anger? I looked up to see hatred in its eyes. It began flying but it fall down soon after. 

The phoenix slowly shrunk its fire, until we saw a body. What I could make out was, its a girl with long red hair and gorgeous face. I couldn't see her eyes as it was close. 

"Zika! Crystal!" Jozu shouted as the said nurses rushed towards the fallen girl. What was running through my mind was, who is she? And what happened to her? 

??? POV

Damn it, I kill the damn bastard! How dare he killed him in front of me and blast me away just like that!! I kill him!!

But, where am I? All I know is that I landed on some ship and then the next thing I knew I was being carried to somewhere. 

And what I saw was a glimpse of a pair of blue wings, like mine.
