The Whitebeard pirates were a Yonko crew. A force to be reckoned with on all accounts, the captain was known as the strongest man alive. But he also owned a dog, named Stefan. In whom he loved very deeply. But would also most likely not allow another pet. For 'Stefans safety'.
The old white dog probably get beaten by a bird. But he was still Whitebeard's puppy.
So when Ace ran on deck with a tennessee rex cat, showing him off to a few pirates, you could say Whitebeard was not impressed. Even when Marco took the cat from him, considering the fact Ace was not holding it correctly.
Marco was skeptical, they hadn't docked on an island in nearly two weeks, how would a cat survive in the crazy New World weather? Not to mention it looked clean. Any of the crew would notice if it was inside the actual ship, so it being on deck for weeks, clean and healthy-looking? He was on guard to say the least.
Which was when Ace spoke up.
"MARCCOOO! CAN WE KEEP IT CAN WE KEEP IT???" Ace said excitedly, seemingly just as bubbly as always. Though Marco knew the second division commander could not take care of a cat.
"No. I'll make sure it's healthy and then I'll drop it off at an island, we'll see if we can find it a home. Otherwise it can be a stray."
"WHAT?? A STRAY?? THE KITTY DOESN'T DESERVE THAT!"
"I said we'll try to find it a home." Marco said with a sigh, then added. "But if the cat lived this long in the New World then it'll be fine." He then looked at the cats genitals to determine the gender.
Ace was still whining, now Thatch running over with a gourmet salmon dish. "Come on Marco! Let the little one stay for a bit!"
Marco looked unamused, but grabbed the plate to place it on the ground, holding the cat by the scruff before slowly letting go when it dug in.
"It has to stay, at least until we dock at the next island. Haruta's pretty good with animals, maybe he'll look after it."
Ace whined, hugging onto Thatch with what was very much fake tears of agony.
"Whyyy can't I look after itttttt..."
"You'll burn it?" Thatch said, or rather said it in a more questioning way, he hadn't actually seen Ace with animals that often.
"I CAN CONTROL IT!" Ace suddenly piped up again, seemingly getting another burst of energy.
Which seemed to make the cat hiss and try bolting off from the group. But Vista, being the huge man he was- immediately grabbed the cat when it climbed up his leg, as if the animal didn't know he was a human being.
"Thanks, Vista." Marco said, glancing at the plate of food Thatch had made, the cat ate a decent chunk.
Vista nodded, then slowly pet it. He did have a soft spot for fuzz balls..Especially cute orange babies. When the cat purred into his hand? He took it as a sign to keep going.
"why does it like you!?? It kept hissing when I was holding it!!" Ace whined, yet again.
"You were holding it like a bag." Marco said, unamused.
"Am I not meant to do th-?" His words got cut off when large footsteps, comically large ones came in view.
"Pops!" Thatch said happily, picking up the finished meal the cat had eaten.
Whitebeard looked between all his sons, then focused on the tennessee rex cat. He wasn't a cat person himself, but it was staring at him with those same puppy eyes- just a cat.
"If it hits Stefan it goes overboard." Whitebeard started, then decided to revise. "Actually, no. Whoever the son is that let the cat hit Stefan will go overboard. Not the cat."
The cat meowed at that.
Marco nodded, looking at the cat a little too skeptically now. He was curious about the cat, how it survived this long without food, did it steal? How? Most of the crew ate in the mess haul. How is it clean? That got him even more confused.
He knew cats cleaned themselves periodically, but it should have some stuck dirt on it, or something. To know it was perfectly clean and healthy was odd. Maybe there was something else? Zoan type, perhaps?
