Portugas.Edward.Jules the bounty poster read. pried and joy filled Jules's heart. if she was gonna be a pirate again then this is what she wanted. her bounty poster to have her now new name. she wanted the world to know her relation to Ace. being a pirate meant being free and this was another stage of her freedom. the freedom to proudly say her name. to freely say that she belonged to the late fire fist, 2nd division commander of Whitebeard pirates, son of Gol.D. Rodger, Portugas.D.Ace. and now she could do it. she wasn't alone anymore. she wasn't a burden too. she wasn't holding anyone back and no one was holding her back too. she was free from her worries now. she still had her responsibility as a mother but it wasn't binding her anymore. she finally felt like a pirate now. finally felt a little bit more like her true self.

" they changed my name. the changed it. the...the whole world knows I belong to Ace now. i.......i can finally say it out loud that my name is Portugas.Edward.Jules. i can finally declare it to the world." Jules said still shocked as happy tears filled her eyes. she gently took the poster from Robin and stood up. walking to the railing she looked out at the sea with her blurry vision. she had a smile on her face as he looked down at the poster in her hands. she took a deep breath and looked straight ahead again.

" I AM PORTUGAS.EDWAED.JULES, THE DAUGHTER OF THE LATE WHITEBEARD AND FIANCE OF THE LATE PORTUGAS.D.ACE. LISTEN UP EVERYONE OUT THERE, I AM PORTUGAS.EDWARD.JULES." Jules screamed with tears flowing down her eyes. there were so many things she wanted to scream out like this but she couldn't. but one day. one day she would. just like this she would scream out all those things too. pried filled her heart as she screamed out those words. yes, she was proud. she was proud to be the daughter of the worlds strongest man, she was proud to be the fiance of a brave pirate like Ace. she was proud of who she was.

" YAHOOOO, YES, YOU HEAR THAT EVERYONE. THAT PORTUGAS.EDWARD.JULES. YOU BETTER BE READY FOR THE HAVOCK SHE IS GONNA MAKE." Luffy said coming to stand beside her by the railing. his signature huge smile plastered on his face. when he looked at Jules she saw the difference in the smile though. The smile was his usual grin but his eyes, they were filled with pride and admiration. pride and admiration for her. he was proud of her. when she realized that a warm feeling took over her heart for a moment. in that second of moment as she looked into his high dark brown eyes she felt like she was the most special person in this world.

but that was all gone in second as everyone behind her cheered and broke her train of thoughts. in response to that she gave out a huge smile. this felt nice. it reminded her of the time on mobydick when all her brothers would be proud of her and cheer for her when she did something great.or just to motivate her sometimes. " minna, lets have party to celebrate this." luffy said excitedly. " yosh, I'll start preparing for the dinner. everyone cheered and then got into the preparations of the party tonight.                                                                                                                          __________________

as the evening came the party started. brook played lively music as ussop, luffy, chopper and frankly danced around in a silly way. sanji was cooking BBQ while chatting with nami and Robin. zoro was busy drinking while also enjoying the music and lively atmosphere. honestly there wasn't a day when the mood on the sunny wasn't lively. jules too sat on the deck with everyone while keeping eye on Rose who was eating. she was too occasionally joining in the conversation between sanji, nami and Robin. Jimbe was enjoying his drink too while Rose sat on his lap munching on her food. 

" mumma, done." came the small voice of Rose catching Jules's attention. " you done? are you sure?" Jules asked just to confirm or the little devil will make up in the middle of the night asking for food. Rose nodded with a big smile. " ok now go on and have fun but its soon bed time." Jules said and Rose didn't waste a moment to run off to the dancing group. the little girl jumped around and giggled. she tried to copy the dance moves the best she could. she had already good with dancing like Franky. everyone was dancing and laughing at the cute girl.

" here, jules have some drink." nami said pushing a glass of beer in her hands. " thanks nami." Jules said and sipped her drink. the strong alcohol hit her like a bullet. it was a strong beer. the burning in the throat, the lightness in her head felt so good after a long time. after 2-3 more drinks and chatting Jules suddenly remembered something. 

" hey nami, lets have a competition. a drinking competition." Jules suggested catching everyone's attention. " hhahahaha, sure jules but let me tell you I am on equal level with that marimo over there." nami said with a  confident smirk. " oi, stop lying, I can drink way more than you can." zoro said offended. "  so sweet of you to worry about me nami but, is m sure I can at least keep up with you." Jules said in a challenging way. " oh really then lets do it. sanji set up the table." nami said and sanji immetidtly got to work. " sure, while sanji sets up the table I'll out Rose to bed, don't want to handle when I am drunk. that won't work at all." Jules said and got up.

" common little devil, its bed time." Jules said walking towards Rose and picking her up. " umm, but mumma, I wanna play." Rose said rubbing her eyes, obviously sleepy. " ha, look at you looking so sleepy and still don't want to sleep." Jule said walking to the bedroom with a protesting Rose. " no no, I wanna play.mumma please." Rose said making puppy eyes. " no means no Rose, its time to sleep. look at you cant even keep your eyes open." Jule said looking at the little girl stiiting on the bed trying hard to keep her eyes open with her hands. 

turning around Jules searched for Rose's pajamas. once she found them the little girl was already curled u on the soft bed snoring softly, some drool falling down the side of her lips. Jules chucked before changing the clothes of the now sleeping girl and then tucked her nicely in the bed. " good night my little devil, I love you." Jules kissed the forehead softly " daddy loves you too." she said and again flaced a much more firm but still gentle kiss on her forehead. looking at her one last time she walked back on the deck.

" there she is, Rose slept?" luffy asked when he saw her coming. " yep, she was tired after all the playing and dancing. didn't even have to tell her a bed time story." Jules said sitting on the chair that was placed at the table now. opposite to her sat nami. " so now lets do this." jules said with a smirk. with a screeching sound the was another chair placed by the other edge of the table and a green haired swordsman sat on the chair.

" I'll take the challenge too, since this sea witch thinks that she can win against me." zoro said gesturing to nami. Jules laughed at the name zoro called nami and the galre nami sent his way. " okay, sanji-kun, bring on the drinks." Jules said cheerfully.
