It was already morning on the Moby Dick. Ann had already woken up and was getting breakfast ready for the rest of the people in the crew. She was very good at cooking so quickly. She cooked at least 1000 people 3 times a day. While Thatch would sometimes help if he wakes up early in the morning. It was quite funny how she made breakfast. Ten giant pots and pans cooking at least 100 servings in one pot or pan. When she was done cooking she placed it on the bench and took a step out the room. Now it was her time to yell on the deck. But something stopped her. A big boom was heard from Whitebeards room. Ann sighed before signalling on of her vines to capture Ace before he fell into the ocean. 

The ones caught one of his legs and brought it up to Ann's face.

"Good morning, Ushi-san." Ann said with a smile, "Breakfast." 
"Good morning Ann, Why did you call me cow?"
"Cowboy, that's what you are." 
"That's Tomboy."
Ace on sighed as he tried to get out of the grip of the vines.

"Is it OK if you let me go now?" Ace asked while still hung upside down. 
"Sure," was Ann said before letting Ace face plant into the ground. 
Ace faceplanted into the ground and didn't move. Ann panicked before she found out that he was just sleeping. A sigh of relief came out of her mouth. She put Ace in a comfortable position on the head of Moby Dick and then walked up to the middle of the ship. 
"WAKE UP! BREAKFAST!" she shouted. 

From all over the ship, you can hear groans of people waking up. 

The first one to come out was Thatch. His head at a weird angle. It was facing the left side. 

"Good morning. What happened to my cannon boy?" Ann asked as she pats his shoulder on the left side. 
"Morning, I slept in a weird position. Mind helping me, Ka-san?" Thatch said in a pleading voice. 
Ann only nodded before covering Thatch's body with vines. The vines wrapped around Thatch and then unravelled. Leaving a perfectly fine Thatch. 
"Now off to breakfast," Ann said as she pointed at the Mess room. 
Thatch only nodded before walking in. 

More and more people went in one by one after they said 'Good Morning' to there mother. 
"Good morning, Afro Beard." Ann said as she waved at her child.
"Good morning, Ka-san." Teach replied, "Another nickname for me?"
Ann just nodded. Teach then walked in without another word. Inside, Ann didn't really like him but still was nice. She knew something was wrong with him. Something dangerous. When most of the people went into the room, Ann then walked up to the guest room. Where Spade Pirate Crew were sleeping. 

Surprisingly Ace was there. Ann then opened the door and walked in as if it was her property. Kind of is but still, you get the point. Ann then bowed.
"Good morning spade pirates. I'm very sorry for yesterdays matter. I and your captain have made a deal that you can leave this ship when you have either defeated me or Whitebeard. Until then you will be a Whitebeard pirate." she said. 

"Wait! I haven't agreed to that yet." Ace yelled. 
Ann then stood up and looked at Ace in the eye. 

"I was the one that made your lifeline longer. You do owe me. But your back was miscalculated." Ann explained, "Whitebeard agreed if I add that mark on each of you. After you take that bandages you will notice that Whitebeard mark has marked your skin."
Ace looked surprised for a moment before looking at the rest of the crew. They all either lifted there shirts or sleeve to reveal there mark. Ace felt betrayed. Ann then bowed again.
"I'm sorry for doing something that can not be reversed. I hope you understand." Ann said.
Ann then walked out the door. 
"I will breakfast shortly so please do stay in your rooms," Ann said as she closed the door with a bow. 

As Ann left Ace then punched the wall.
"Dammit," Ace muttered.
"What should we do captain?" the first mate answered.
"I guess we need to defeat Whitebeard." 
"Why not kill that lady?" 
Before Ace could answer a vine-covered the first mate's mouth. 
"The word kill will haunt you day and night. Don't ever say that word again." a voice said as the door opened. 

Ace looked at the door and there stood Ann with a stern face but with tears in her eyes. She then placed the food on the table that was in the middle of bunk beds. 

"Please follow the rules of the ship if you are going to be on here." Ann said, "I would even bow if that is what you want. I will go on my hands and knees if I must." 
A few people in the crew clearly didn't believe it but Ace did.
"Is that true?" one of them asked.
"Yes, no harm shall be done. I promise to go on my knees on every injury you get that is made by us. If that is what you want that is." Ann answered, "I even promise that you can leave this ship if you defeat either one of me or Whitebeard. A pirate wouldn't go back on their words. Or else that's a start of becoming a marine. I don't mind doing than once. More than 100 times if I must." 

A snicker came from one of them.
"OK, then bow to us with your hands and knees on the ground. You've hurt Captains and our skin by putting these marks on." one of the replied.
To there surprise she instantly kneeled, placed her head on the ground and hands beside her head. 
"I'm sorry for the harm done. I will treat you evenly as if the children on this ship. Just don't break the rules." Ann said.

All of there eyes widened. Her black hair covered her eyes and face. Her kimono draped around her. This was a scene that no one would see from a pirate. 

"I didn't mean it," they said as they waved there hands in front of there face.
"I never go back on my word. As I said before it's a start of a marine." Ann said before standing up and leaving the room.
Ann then bowed before closing the room leaving the Spade pirates in the room. Only silence. While Thatch and Marco were standing beside the door.

"Wasn't that too much?" Thatch asked.
"No, my words are carving in a stone," Ann replied.

"Still it's a bit too much-yoi," Marco said.

"Canon, Pineapple, please don't question my actions. You know I'm always right." Ann said.

Thatch and Marco nodded but Marco was the one that had red tick marks on his head.
"Ka-san, really pineapple?" Marco asked trying not to get mad. 

"Yep, I bet I will get confused if I placed a pineapple on a table beside you." Ann joked.
"Really?"
"More than 100 times."

Thatch then tried to change the subject.
"Well, do you have a crush on Ace?" Thatch asked.
Marco's eyebrow twitched even more. Ann sighed before replying.
"I might actually. Even if I have a crush or not, I can't go with him. No matter what."
Marco and Thatch looked at her confused.
"What do you mean by that?" they asked in union.
She only lifted her left ring finger before walking into her office. 

Marco only looked at Thatch with confused expersiion. So did Thatch. But then they shrugged and forgot about the subject. That happned more than 100 times.
