[ON HOLD] Nightingale - Portgas D. Ace x Reader (One Piece)

Forward! ✊🏼

"I can't believe she got you the key?"

"This is great! She helped me out again?"

"Again?"

"Yeah, Hancock help me get into Impel Down."

"Wow!"

"Wait for us, Ace!"

"Luffy look out!" You block a soldier's attack. Luffy knocks him out.

You both fight your way through. You come up to Ivan and Kuma.

"Ivan-chan! Ah?!" Luffy sees Kuma. "That's the bear guy!"

"You know Kuma?"

"He's the one that blows us away! Be careful, Ivan-chan! If you get blown away by him..."

"I'm okay. Now, Kuma, move out of my way!"

You and Luffy stop beside Ivan. "Ivan-chan, do you know him?"

You see Domflamingo, 'we're fucked...'

"Yeah, sort of. But he's acting strange."

Domflamingo laughs, "seems like you both have memories of Kuma. But the Kuma that you both knew and this one are not the same!"

"N-Not the same? What is he talking about?"

"That can't be true! I'm absolutely sure that he's the Paw-Paw Fruit eater -- Kuma! Say something, Kuma! He's pissing me off! Although he has always been quiet."

"I told you that it's no use talking to him. It was just days ago... The Goverment scientist -- Dr. Vegapunk modified him for the last time. And he turned into a complete human weapon at last! To be precise, he's the former Bartholomew Kuma!"

"The rumours were true... The Goverment made a human weapon..."

"What?" Luffy looks at you in shock.

"Modified? Weapon? What are you talking about?!"

"In fact, he volunteered to be a guinea pig for a study to build a human weapon... Run by the Government. First, his hands. Seconds, his legs. While his mind worked, they modified his body piece by piece."

"That's fuck..." You step closer to Luffy.

"Stop lying! Kuma hates the Government! He wouldn't sacrifice his life for them. I know that he wouldn't do that!"

Doflamingo walks away, "stop yelling. I don't know what kind of deal he had with the Government. Only a few days ago, he still had personality." He sits on the pile of dead bodies, "but now. He doesn't even remember that he was born human. So he is no better than dead. He is a monster who fights as the Government tells him. He is Pacifista PX-0!"

Kuma charges up the laser.

"So you better forget about the past!"

"Luffy get back!" You grab onto him, hold him tight. The blast sends you, Luffy and Ivan back.

"(Y/N)! Are you okay?"

You let go of him, "I'm okay Luffy." You rub your head, "what about you?"

"I'm okay."

"We need to get to Ace. We have to be careful of Domflamingo. He took control of Jozu earlier. He... He made Jozu cut down our brothers. Jozu would never hurt our brothers!"

"I'll be careful..."

"Kuma! What's happened to you over these past several years?!"

"Now I remember him saying... At the time."

"What did he say?"

"We'll never meet again... Farewell..."

"He knew his time was up..."

"What's wrong, Kuma?! It's me! Ivankov!" Kuma disappears, "wh-where'd he go?!"

The three of you look around for him. You hear the others behind you. Kuma was standing behind them.

"Watch out, you guys! Heads up!" Luffy cries out to them.

It was too late, "Pad Cannon." He swings his arm, paws shoot them. Sends them all flying back.

Ivan runs at Kuma, "Kuma, you bastard! Face... Spectrum!"

Kuma scans over the dozens of Ivan.

You try to look back at Doflamingo. Watch yours and Luffy's backs. "Luffy we need to get going."

"Right."

You hear Ivan yelling and look back. "You guys, go ahead and back Straw boy and Spade girl up!"

"Spade? Ivan could of called me Ace's girl?" 'I do have a spade on my hand, I guess...' You look see Doflamingo gone. 'Where did he go? He's gone.'

"Roger!" They take off running.

One stops next to Luffy, "okay. Let's go Straw Hate and Spade Girl!"

"Thanks, Ivan-chan!"

"Be careful Ivan!"

You and Luffy lead the lead to Ace. Soldiers block you, "stop here!"

Two run ahead of you and Luffy, "don't get in their way!" They cut down the soldiers, "keep going, Straw Hat and Spade Girl!"

"Ace's Girl would be nicer!"

"Ace's Girl!"

"Hehe, that's better ~"

"Thanks!" - "Thank you!" You both keep running.

Luffy looks up to Ace, "Ace!"

"We'll save Ace, Luffy!" As you look ahead you see a familiar shadow. "Fuck..."

"What?"

"It's Mihawk..." 'Dad warned me Uncle Mihawk would be here. I'm going to lose, but I need to try.'

"I'm sorry, 'Red-Haired'. I will not hold back my power."

"That's... 'Hawk-Eye!'"

"It sure is..."

"Now, I wonder if fate... Will end the life of the children of the next generation here. Or, if it will save them from this Black Sword."

"I don't have time to face such a strong guy!"

"Luffy let me take Mihawk. You have the key, get to Ace quickly."

"But -"

"Ace and I share a type of power. If you free Ace, I'll get my power back."

"Okay! Second Gear!" He runs ahead and jumps over Mihawk.

Mihawk looks straight at you, dead in the eyes. "You're not going?"

You stand on guard, "Luffy will be fine. But I can't have you stopping him."

"You know you can't win."

"I have to try."

"You will die."
