I had a thought earlier this afternoon when I was out, about who are the best dancers of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Izou and Marco were at the top (This phoenix likes when Marco dances cause birds do mating dances).

Ace is in middle but I can see him moving to high middle.

Thatch is at the bottom with two left feet. While Thatch has amazing footwork when he's fighting but as soon as he's dancing with someone he suddenly has two left feet.

Top - Izou, Marco, Whitey, Tate, Vista, Haurta, Rayuyo,

Middle - Ace, Whitebeard in his youth/healthy, Fossa, Blenheim, Kingdew, Speedy Jiru

Bottom - Thatch, Joza, Namur, Blamenco, Curiel, Atmos,

I only did the commanders with Whitey and Tate. I did think about putting Oden, Toki and the some of the spade pirates on it but decided not.

Curiel was so lanky back then compared to his current physique

I think Marco was 17 around this time and Jozu was 14

Ace's first Christmas as a Whitebeard Pirate

Decorating the Christmas tree

December 21st

Ace helped Izo with boxes and boxes of tree decorations and brought it to the Christmas tree outside. Almost everyone was outside, some waiting impatiently for the boxes so they could help decorate the tree, others just to chill, even if it was cold. It'd snowed that night, but thanks to Ace, there was no snow on deck or on the tree, as he'd warmed up the air around. It'd taken a lot of concentration, so he didn't burn the tree and he was so proud of his success.

"So, what now?" Ace asked Izo.

"Marco and Blenheim put on the lights first, it'd become their tradition and it's one of those rare moments when you see Marco's inner child, so we're keeping that tradition. Then we can start decorating the tree and anyone can decorate as much or as little as they want to. Once we've finished, Oyaji decides who should put the top decoration. It can be an angel, a star or a heart, depending on what the person decides upon. Afterwards we lit up the tree and had some Christmas snacks and drinks." Izo explained. While he was talking, Marco and Blenheim were already working on the lights.

Ace watched and could see what Izo meant. Marco was having fun and was rather playful. He'd never seen the blond like this, but it was nice. When the lights were on, Ace helped decorate the tree, laughing, teasing and being playful with everyone while doing so. Ace was actually surprised that there wasn't a certain way they had to decorate the tree, they could do just as they pleased. It made the tree unique and like it belonged to the entire family.

As they were done, Ace wondered who Oyaji would allow to put the topper for the tree. Part of him hoped for him, but he was happy when it was Deuce. The masked man chose the star and with Marco's help, put it on top. Seeing the happiness in his friend's eyes was worth the tiny disappointment. Ace chose the tree and Deuce full-ended with the star.

The only flying Mk1 Bristol Blenheim in the world

The Blenheim was first flown: April 135, it was introduced in 1937 and retired from the RAF in 1944. At the start of WW2, the RAF had 1089 Blenheim bombers in service, more than any other aircraft however, this is now the only flying example left in the world and serves as a lasting memorial to those who crewed them.
