Chapter 7 - Memories
"How about a drink for such a fine lady?" The man that was sitting next to you said as he placed a glass of something in front of you.
This was the third? Yeah, the third guy who gave you a drink today.
Ace was literally starting shake in anger? Jealousy? He didn't know what this feeling was. But one thing was sure. He hated it.
"Thank you." You smiled politely to the guy.
The guy kept flirting with you and he didn't even notice Ace sitting next to you.
"No but really now, you really are a beautiful woman."
Ace stood up.
You looked at him.
"Ace?"
"P-P-Portgas D A-Ace?!" The man that was sitting next to you started to back away.
"Huh?"
"You k-know him?"
"Ummm, I'm under his decision."
"YOU'RE PART OF-"
Before he could finish the sentence, Ace hit the table with his feet.
"Don't you dare to finish that sentence."
"H-hai!"
Pff coward.
Ace grabbed your hand and dragged you outside the bar.
"What's wrong with you?" You asked as you freed your hand from him.
"N-nothing! Let's go!"
You furrowed your brows.
What's up with him?
Ace started to walk a little fast and it was getting a little bit harder to catch him.
"Oi Ace! Why are you in such a hurry? You've started to act like this ever since those guys started to flirt with me. If I would know better, I'd say that you're jealo-"
"Shut up! You know nothing!"
Your eyes widen. So, your theory was in fact true.
"Oh? So that's how it is." You said while smirking.
"What's with that smirk?" Ace asked as he turned towards you.
You smiled at him and then placed your hand around his neck.
"W-wha-"
"Sooo, Portgas over here is jealous of some dudes that were flirting with me? That's so cute!" You cooed.
"I don't know what you're talking about! Let's go!"
You laughed as he started to walk away. You followed him towards the boat.
"Urgh! I can't believe we have to set sail again!" You said as you jumped in the boat.
"Oh it's not that bad!"
"Says the one who snores in his sleep and eats all our supplies."
Hmmm... Does he like me? Wait WHAT?! What's with that question (name)! You're crazy? Maybee. He is your commander! Nothing more!
The two of you decided to leabe not short after that conversation.
Two hours passed quite easily.
"Say, Ace, where is your home?" You asked.
Ace looked in your eyes.
"In East Blue on a island called Dawn Island."
"East Blue? But since you said you grew up without parents who did actually take care of you? I mean, you didn't raised yourself, did you?"
Ace started to laugh at your words.
"Maybe this will shock you but... Do you know Garp?"
You looked at him for a few seconds.
That name sounded very familiar.
"Ah! The Marine Hero? What about him?"
"He is practically, in two words, my adoptive grandfather."
It took a few minutes for you to process that.
"What the hell! Ace! Next thing I hear is that you have siblings!"
Ace rubbed the back of his neck and laughed.
"Well you see..."
Your eyes widen.
"No way! You have siblings?! Dude! And let me guess! One of them is freaking Jesus!"
Ace laughed.
"Not even close."
"What?! Who's more powerful than Jesus?!"
"Ehh, you wouldn't know him. His name is Monkey D Luffy."
You were silent for a moment.
"What's with the D?"
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"You have a D in your name, Teach has,your brother has. What's this D?"
"You haven't heard of the will of D?"
"Will of D? What's that?"
"No one knows."
You furrowed your brows.
"And how is that suppose to help me?!"
"Oh and Luffy isn't my only brother."
"Two brothers? Okay bring it on! Let me guess, it's Satan this time."
"Huh? No, his name is Sabo. But..."
"But?"
"He died long time ago."
"Oh..."
You actually felt sorry for Ace.
"Me, Luffy and Sabo had lots of fun together as kids. We would always cause trouble. We were such wild kids back then..." Ace said as he remembered his adventures.
"I'm surprised actually." You confessed.
"How so?"
"I never imaged you being a big brother."
Ace laughed.
"To be honest, at the start, Luffy was very annoying. I didn't liked him that much."
"But he was your brother so slowly and slowly had to accept him, right?"
"Not even close." Ace grinned. "You couldn't have been more wrong about that."
"Huh?"
"Luffy isn't my real brother but our bond is more real than the blood we have. Me, Sabo and Luffy exchanged a cup of sake and became brothers. But until that happened it was a long ride. Luffy was brought by Garp at Dadan who was the one that actually raised us."
"Wait! You said Garp did!"
"Well he adopted me and Luffy. But Luffy really is his grandchild. Uhh, grandpa told me once that my real father was the one who told him to take care of me."
Ace tried to avoid to say his father's name.
"You mean Gold Roger? Come on! Don't be like that. I'm sure he loved you. That's why he told Garp to take care of you."
"Shut up! I don't want to hear anything about him! So anyways, our first meeting wasn't a pleasant one. By that I mean, I spit on him and he got angry." Ace laughed as he rubbed his neck.
"Whaaat?! Ace being rude?! No way! But but you-"
"I was different back then. But anyways, later Luffy said he wasn't mad at me anymore and he started to follow me around. I found it very annoying and I would always try to make him lose my track. But in the end, he found me and Sabo putting our money that we gathered that day, in a tree. He caused a lot of trouble. We wanted to kill him but we didn't have the guts to do it since it would've been our first kill."
You laughed. His childhood really seemed very interesting.
"After that, the pirates that I took the money from, showed up and all three of us hid somewhere in a bush. Somehow Luffy got caught. Up to this day, I still don't know how the heck Luffy got from sitting next to me to standing next to that guy. It's still a mystery. But anyways, he got caught by those pirates, and me and Sabo decided to move the money."
You furrowed your brows and then hit Ace in the head.
"Ow! What the hell!"
"That's because you didn't helped Luffy right away! What a horrible person you are!"
"Let me finish, damn it! Later that day, I got a terrible feeling and just at that moment Sabo came running towards me. He said that Luffy still hasn't said a thing about where our money was."
"Wait, so he was being tortured?!" You gasped.
"Yes."
You decided to hit him once again.
"Owww!"
"You really deserve a good slap Ace! How could you!"
"Damn it! Let me finish the freaking story! So anyways, me and Sabo ran at the hiding of those pirates and saved Luffy plus we beat the crap out of them."
"Hmmmm, okay I forgive you."
"How about you? What's your story?"
"Me?" You asked as you raised your eyesbrows.
"No! I was talking to the ocean." Ace said sarcastically.
"Well there is nothing much about it. Well, besides my father being a huge douche bag, I guess nothing."
"Oh? Who is your father?"
"I haven't told you already? Wow, sorry about that. My father is none other than-
Hello, hello! How are you guys doing!
Awesome plot twist right? Oh wait. You didn't got to see it since I decided to end this chapter with a cliff hanger.
