Whitebeard crew
The Whitebeard Pirates consist of commanders including Marco, Ace, Jozu, Thatch, Vista, Blamenco, Rakuyo, Namur, Blenheim, Curiel, Kingdew, Haruta, Atmos, Jiru, Fossa, and Izou. Former Spade Pirates members Deuce, Skull, Mihar, Kotatsu, Saber, Aggie, Finamore, Ganryu, Ducky, Ossamando, Barry, Wallace, Banshee, Kukai, Dogya, Kimel, Cornelia, Leonero, and Hubolt are also part of the crew. Tate and other nurses along with Hakuto are additional members. Whitebeard sees his crew as his sons, with Tate and the other nurses being the only girls among the crew.Thatch, Izou, Marco, and Ace are all chatting on deck. The rest of the crew are all either chatting, getting things done, or playing games with one another.
Deuce is walking around deck and notices an island nearby. The crew needs to stock up on supplies anyway, so they all agree to dock there for a while.
They arrive at the island about thirty minutes later, with Ace being the first one off the ship and eager to explore the place. The island is like nothing they've ever seen before, and it's kinda creepy to be honest. The trees are all dark and gray, the leaves a shade of darker blacks and silvers. The ground is like sand, but black and dead-looking compared to the usual tan sand of other islands. It's hard to tell if there's any wildlife at all on the island, let alone any civilization.
Thatch hops off the ship, walking over to Ace and stopping a few paces behind him, looking into the dense, dark forest that covers the island. Thatch: Sheesh...this place is creepy... He says, looking around a bit. Ace: Yea...I wonder what could possibly survive here, if anything. Ace replies, a chill running through his spine as a small, cold breeze wafts past him.
Marco turns to his phoenix form and takes off, flying over the island to scout it out and make sure it's safe.
