YOU WIPED YOUR TEARS DRY. it was no use crying if ace was still there, kneeling on the scaffold. no tears are worth spilling until victory is in your hands.
"kurose." you called out his name as he nodded and jumped on the finger head with you.
he stood in front of, as you both unsheathed your swords. a crash appeared in the sky, whitebeard has used his devil fruit abilities.
coating your swords with haki, you and kurose made a synchronized attack. you made an x slash while kurose did an upward slash.
this attack reached the headquarters, battleships were destroyed by the accumulated force of the attack.
mihawk eyed the slash that went through he marine building. he knew where it came from. you were here.
"what!? where did that came from??" echoes of shouts and yells emerged from the crowd. "the headquarters!!" not only was a massive quake occurred due to whitebeard's devil fruit but a sword slash came from an unknown source.
"gurarara! hard headed children will always be hard headed until they grow up!"
marco smirked slightly. "heeey! care to add five more members to your fleet?!" theo yelled out, holding his naginata.
"urgent report!! veritas [name], along with only four crew members, is here, fleet admiral sengoku!!"
...
it was three years ago, when you saw ace's face printed on a bounty poster. fire fist ace, the captain of the spade pirates was what the government called him. you stared at his face through the paper. he had his mother's freckles, but his face was strikingly akin to his father. he has a asce tattoo on his upper left bicep with the s crossed out. he just entered the grandline yet the government was already decided to invite him as a shichibukai.
he carried a different name, portgas d. ace. you were quite confused but didn't show it. you knew this rookie from the moment he was born, but didn't tell a soul. shanks called you, saying he met him, commenting about his familiar features. you stayed quiet, staying oblivious. you know shanks already had his suspicions.
you concluded that he also took his father's habit of being half-naked most of the time, as he wore an open-front shirt in that very photo.
you hated yourself for keeping a promise that you haven't fulfilled. you hated that you can only look at ace through his poster, not in person, not in close proximity. in the depths of your mind, rouge probably hated you for not taking care of ace.
