Ace of Spades

AoS Chapter 19 The Visits

Hello everyone, here's chapter 19

We'll have some brotherly love and comfort between the three brothers.

We also have a visit from the two brothers and some brotherly comfort.

We are also learning more about the Legendaries.

There is also a battle scene. And I am still bad at writing those, so bear with me.

Hope you enjoy

Read and relax

Marco made his way out on the deck. It was still a bit early, barely past seven in the morning, but he wasn't tired anymore. He hoped Ace might be awake and had contemplated peeping into his room, but decided to head out on deck and wait until he came out on his own if he weren't out yet. When he walked out of the door, he was a bit surprised to see a lot of people out on deck, many of them sitting or staring towards the main part of the deck where his father's chair was. That did spike his curiosity, so he walked through the small crowd, who he could now see where smiling. Marco heard his father's laugh before he saw him, as well as another laughing voice he could not completely place.

When he got past everyone, the first thing he saw aside from his captain was Rayleigh, who was laughing with his captain.

Marco stopped for a second. He did not expect to see the man sitting on the deck so casually and laughing. They had not seen or heard from the man in years. Before he could think more about it, a voice he had not heard in a while had his attention. "Birdy Blue Breast!" Marco turned towards the railing where Ace usually sat, to see Luffy sitting in Ace's lap, holding a scone he was eating. He could hear Ace giving a sigh, "What have I told you about nicknames, Lu." Said Ace, who was reading a book he didn't take his attention from. Luffy ignored him, sending a smile to him.

He could hear Sabo, who he now noticed beside Ace, laughing. "He's never going to stop with the nicknames you know." Said the man, looking amused at his brothers. Ace gave a sigh again. "I know, but I'll still try." The people around them laughed at that. Luffy would not stop using the nicknames, at least not in the near future. It was a character quirk they did like, even though the names were weird at times, but did fit to some extent. The kid always managed to make them smile with how childish he was. Marco had to admit he could not see how Luffy would be able to be a captain, but the world was full of surprises. And if Shanks managed to be a captain, even a Yonko, he had no doubt Luffy could manage. He would also be joined by Sabo, who he could see more as a captain type of person.

Marco shook his head as he walked towards the railing. "How's training going, yoi?" He asked, and leaned against the railing next to Ace. Luffy looked up at him with excited eyes. "It's really fun!" Said the kid, eating the rest of his scone before starting to tell how 'fun' it was. Marco was shocked when he heard about fighting gigantic animals like tigers and alligators, but it did sound like the kid actually thought it was fun. Both of them did look okay and Rayleigh did probably watch out so they didn't actually get really injured. If the man let that happen, he would have Ace to answer to and that was a thought that would keep anyone on their toes.

Everyone listened to Luffy talk with amusement in their eyes. They had a feeling the kid had a different view on how training was going than his other companions, based on the shakes of their heads every now and then. Some of the people that were listening did eventually leave to start their day, some did stay to listen to the kid's adventures, as Luffy referred to it to. It was an hour later that Dust landed beside Ace and handed him an envelope. The pirates were sure Ace would make Luffy stand up, seeing as he could potentially read the note the way he was leaning against his brother. But the moment Ace opened it, Luffy automatically leaned forward, making it so Ace could read the note behind his head. This was obviously nothing new, seeing as Luffy did not stop his talking and how Ace expected him to do it.
