Normal POV

The Whitebeard Pirates have docked on an island, to restock as usual. Marco was in charge of dispatching the other divisions, until his eyes landed on a pair of red eyes, that belonged to something that's so majestic, 

A Phoenix. 

But not just a normal phoenix, it was red mixed with orange and yellow, Marco's words of commands stopped as his eyes grew wider. "Marco? What's wro-Whoa..." Ace's jaws dropped as his eyes too landed on the majestic bird. 

"Is that your brother, Marco?" Ace asked but winced in pain after receiving a punch from Marco. "I don't have a brother nor a sister-yoi!" he glared at Ace but soon continued his duty, and taking a couple of glances towards the bird that flew towards a hill, as he muttered, 

"I'm wandering who that was-yoi..." 

Later

Marco and Ace was discussing on who's going to scout but they decided that they both should go, after hearing Izo scolding them. "Do you think there would be cute girls that wanted me?" both commander's head snapped back to see Thatch, "Thatch! What're you doing here?" Ace shouted, as Thatch laughed, "I just wanted to join you guys, hey! Let's go ask a bartender or something" he said with a grin, resulting a sigh from Marco. 

As they were drinking in the tavern, words began creeping to their ears, 

"Did you heard?" 

"That woman, 'Phoenix Empress' is here!" 

"Are you kidding? She's a lone killer! She might kill us all!" 

"But she had a beauty of a goddess..."

The customers began to sigh as they looked down at her wanted poster, Marco looked down to see the latest posters, there was some he knew, but his interest was picked when he saw the 'Phoenix Empress's' poster. "Luna? That's a pretty name-yoi" Marco muttered as Ace and Thatch nodded, "Phoenix? Don't you think it was that same phoenix we saw?" Ace asked as Marco shrugged his shoulder, 

"Its possible-yoi" he said as he felt a slight smile tugged on his lips. 

Someplace Else

The red phoenix flew towards its owner as it flew around, circling a red haired woman as she chuckled at her pet's behavior, "What is it, Flame?" Flame, the phoenix continued circling her until he stopped mid-air, "Its the Whitebeard Pirates" he spoke, as the woman smirked, "Its been such a long time, I need to send father's regards too".

Flame smiled before sitting on her shoulder, his fire dies out as he became a normal red bird, as the woman sprints towards the town, and to her reserved motel, the smirk on her face never falter.

'This is going to be interesting...' the woman thought as she continued sprinting.
