Summary
“Look, if you don’t believe me, recently I got a particularly interesting one! Special price sir just for you!” The man insisted with a grin, reaching behind him to pull out some sort of cage covered by a cloth. Most of the animals being sold seemed to be a bit dirty, but not horribly abused or anything, most happily sitting on leashes or in decently spacious cages, food and water at their disposal. This cage however seemed far too small for any sort of animals comfort. Newgate was immediately on edge. He had a bad feeling about this.
The cloth covering the small cage was removed with a dramatic tug, and Newgate’s bad feeling was immediately proven right.
Inside the cage, lay a small bird. It was a stunning bright blue, beautiful yellow highlights coating its little body. But more importantly, the bird was on fire. No, not on fire, it was fire.
It was a fucking phoenix. A very scared looking, very tiny phoenix.

.Newgate got himself a kid. Turns out Roger did too.

Summary
Everything felt heavy, he was exhausted, for the first time in a long time he actually hurt. Pops had talked about seastone before, how it took away a person's power like the sea itself did. He had never felt it, but he’d fallen into the ocean once or twice, he had always been brought up pretty quickly though, never enough to fully feel the effects of losing his ability. Now though, it had been five hours without the phoenix, and he was learning what pain was again.
His back had a slash through it, still lazily oozing blood and he was sure his body looked more purple and blue than it did its usual tan. He really did want to cry.
Maybe if he had been alone he would have. He would have let himself wail and cry for his Pops to come get him. But he wasn’t alone. Tucked beneath his arms, nestled between his shackled hands, two shaking forms clung on to him. He was not a baby, he was a pirate, he would not cry. He needed to protect them.
.
.
.Marco, Shanks and Buggy get themselves kidnapped. Marco is a big kid now though, he's determined to protect his friends.
