Ace of Spades

AoS Chapter 12 The Pirates

Hello everyone, here's chapter 12

And I just wanted to say Ace do not have Narcolepsy, if anything, he has insomnia

And both Sabo and Luffy will be a bit in this chapter at the start, then they will be gone for a bit, since they are training and all. But they will visit the pirates later, and they will show off what they can do.

This chapter is about Ace's first days with the pirates. Him doing assignment and such, I will do more action later, this is more of a family and hurt/comfort chapter

But without further ado, enjoy

Please read and relax

Ace hugged Luffy, he could not believe he was not going to see his brothers for a while, it was going to be weird. He was used to being around them almost all of the time, unless he was at a long assignment. "Be good, okay? And listen to Rayleigh." Said Ace as he let go of Luffy. Luffy nodded and looked at Ace, "Of course we will!" He said, and smiled a big smile. "Me and Sabo will get really strong and be great pirates!" Ace laughed a bit, and ruffled Luffy's hair, "I know you will." Said Ace, and watched as Luffy walked inside a house where they would stay for now. Ace went over to Sabo, who shook his head as Ace hugged him,

"We're not going away forever you know." He said to Ace, as he hugged back.

Ace laughed a bit, "I know, it's just going to be weird with you gone." Ace said, and let go off his brother, looking at him, "I'm going to miss you, you know." Sabo laughed a bit, "We'll miss you too." He said, giving a reassuring smile to Ace, "And we will be fine." Ace nodded, he knew they would be fine, they were strong, and Rayleigh was with them. "I know, but be careful and take care of yourself." Sabo laughed, "Don't worry, I will." Sabo looked at Ace with a calm and brotherly look, "And you take care of yourself," He started, "The Whitebeards are good people, and you can rely and confide in them." Ace sighed and looked at Sabo,

"I know, and I'll try, okay?" Said Ace, looking at Sabo, who nodded.

Ace knew Sabo was worried about him, and knew he didn't go to people for help if he could avoid it. Ace had never been good at relying on others, telling them of his troubles. The only one he had really relied on, was Azuruko. Sabo knew Ace often missed the man, especially after a hard mission or when something went wrong.

Sabo only hoped Ace would open up to the pirates. He knew it would take some time, but that Ace one day would trust them enough to rely and confide in them, especially the captain. He was a good man, and could be good for Ace, as well as the first commander.

Ace gave a last pat on Sabo's shoulder, before he also went inside the house. Ace turned around, and looked at Rayleigh, "You know he is right?" Said the man, looking at Ace. Ace sighed as he nodded. He knew Sabo was right, and from the past experiences, he knew the pirates would not judge him and would be there for him. But Ace was not used to that, and was not good at relying on others. He was used to being by himself.

Ace looked at Rayleigh, "I will still send money to you and them, I have no use for all of it." Rayleigh nodded, "That is fine, we will use what we need, and save the rest for when they set out." Ace nodded. He did not have use for all the money he made, and would send half of it to them. The rest of what he made, he would split in two, and give one fourth of it to Lindsey on Boreumdo, and keep the rest. Now that he had joined the pirate crew, he would just give the money to them.

Ace shook Rayleigh's hand, "I'll see you later then, Rayleigh." Said Ace, and the man nodded, "We will, and I will take good care of them." Ace nodded, sending a thankful smile at the man. He knew Rayleigh would take care of them and teach them what they needed. He watched as Rayleigh went inside the house. And when the door closed behind the man, Ace disappeared.
