Bowhead Whale (Balaena mysticetus)
Family: Right Whale Family (Balaenidae)
IUCN Conservation Status: Least Concern
Named for its extremely large, bow-shaped head (which can be used to smash through thin sea ice when surfacing to breathe), the Bowhead Whale can grow to be 15-18 meters (50-60ft) long, may weigh over 54,500 kg (120,000lbs) and is believed to have the potential to live for over 200 years (quite possibly the longest lifespan of any mammal.) Native to arctic and sub-arctic oceans, it feeds on plankton and other small invertebrates which it filters from the water using the comb-like baleen plates in its mouth; its extremely long baleen plates (around 4 meters/13ft in length, longer than those of any other whale) and enormous head (which makes up around 1/3rd of its total body length and features the largest mouth of any animal, opening to be around 3.7 meters/12ft high and 2.4 meters/8ft wide) make it one of the most efficient filter-feeders on earth, allowing an adult Bowhead Whale to consume around 2 tonnes of prey each day. In comparison to other whales Bowhead Whales are not particularly social and typically live alone or in small groups of 3-6 individuals, although during migration they may gather in larger numbers, and as they are not particularly aggressive towards other members of their species it is not unusual for several unassociated individuals to gather together in particularly plankton-rich areas when feeding. Bowhead Whales migrate south to relatively warm subarctic waters during the arctic winter to avoid becoming trapped beneath sea-ice that is too thick for them to break through, and while they may mate at any time of year they typically give birth while migrating back to the arctic in the spring, producing a single calf every 3-4 years after a gestation period of 13-14 months (with calves already being around 4 meters/13ft long and weighing over 900kg/2000lbs at birth.) The enormous size of this species means that it has only one natural predator (the Orca), but historically humans have hunted Bowheads extensively for their meat, bones, blubber and baleen. Commercial whaling once brought Bowhead Whales to the brink of extinction, but throughout the 1970s the practice of hunting this species was near-universally outlawed (with the only exceptions being made for two indigenous communities in Siberia and Alaska who hunt members of this species for subsistence on such a small scale that they do not have a significant negative impact on the species’ overall population.) As of the time of writing this, the IUCN believes that the numbers of several local populations of Bowhead Whales have stabilized and begun to recover from the damage done by commercial whaling, with the species’ overall global population numbers actively increasing.

Ace's first Christmas as a Whitebeard pirate
Hangovers
December 23rd
When Ace woke up the next morning, his head felt heavy and he still felt drowsy. And he was thirsty. Sitting up, he groaned lightly, his body aching a little. Was he getting sick? No, he'd never been sick before. Maybe he was just feeling the effects of being over-stimulated all month. After all, he wasn't used to all of this and it was a lot to take in.
"Got you an aspirin and some water."
Ace turned his head and saw Deuce sitting in his chair - no not Ace's chair, but the masked man's chair - with a medicine book. How did he get here? Last thing he remembered was drinking eggnog with Thatch and having a good time.
"What happened?"
"You got drunk on eggnog. Don't worry, you didn't embarrass yourself. Now take your medicine and drink some water. Alcohol dehydrates your body and therefore it's better to get some water." The masked man explained. "We both brought you here to sleep it off." He continued, placing the book down.
Quickly Ace swallowed the pills and drank the water, feeling better when doing so. It was so nice that he could rely on Deuce to have his back, even when he was drunk, and now he could count Thatch as one to have his back too.
"Good morning, Ace. Hope your hangover isn't too bad." Thatch placed a plate full of good hangover food. Bacon, eggs, french toast, banana, yogurt, grilled chicken and two different juices. "After dinner, we'll be setting the tables for tomorrow, so I hope you'll be back on your feet by then." Thatch gently patted Ace's shoulder and left him.
After breakfast, Ace did take it easy, following all of Deuce's good advice and after lunch, he was completely fresh again. Probably because of his high metabolism, combined with his devil's fruit. So, when dinner was over with, he was ready to help move the tables and set the mess hall up for the next day's celebrations. Tables and chairs were moved around, decorations placed on the tables and the walls. Now they were ready for Christmas to come.
