Ever since he was born, Portgas D Ace had always questioned if it was a blessing for him to be born. He always wanted to find the answer to that question, but found it hard to actually start on a answer. One day, when he was ten, he sat on the cliff at Mt Corvo, old man Garp sitting next to him. It was then when Ace had asked the very same question to Garp.

"Hey old man....do you think that it was good that I was born?" Ace asked, staring out to the ocean. Garp stared at the young boy with slight disbelief at such a question. "Thats something that you have to find out yourself."

(A/N:I know, not exactly word by word but fuck it)

As his life went on, Ace eventually became a notorious pirate of the seas. He wanted to make his name known & feared throughout the seven seas, so he went off to take Whitebeards head, only to be utterly defeated.

That was when he met her. A woman, unlike anyone that he has ever seen.

Although, he acted like a asshole towards her, mainly because she was Whitebeards right hand man..or well, woman. She was a inhumane creature with the feelings & emotions of a female human. One might say, that she was a gift from the gods to Ace.

"Marco...what do you think..if I ever end up with Itami, do you think we'll stay together?" Ace asked. Marco shrugged, "That is something that you both decide, yoi. After all, actions change the future, you need to make it work, yoi." Ace stared at the setting sun, his hat sitting next to him, "I can't let her down then. I'll do everything I can to be the very best for her."

Soon, Ace & Itami had fallen deeply in love with each other. Ace had actually stopped thinking about his life long question..probably because he had thought he found the answer. But soon, disaster struck when Teach had committed the felony of murdering his own cree mate. Ace had set out to deal with Teach..only for him to be defeated, and to be handed to the Marines for execution. Ace thought that it was the end for him, and that he never found his life ling answer.

But they came. She came. His family came to rescue him! And rescue him they did. Ace felt relieved when he realized that he got to have more days than one with the love of his life. Eventually, their love for each other was so strong, that Ace had asked her to marry him, which then lead for them to have two beautiful children, one strong boy, and a intelligent girl.

"Happy birthday, Dad!" Creed exclaimed happily. I grin at my son, "Thank you, Creed." I laughed, as I got handed my present from both him & Alice. "I-We hope you like it, Dad." Alice blurted.

When I opened the box, I found that there was two photos in a single frame. One photo was of me holding Creed when he was a baby. The other photo was when Alice was a toddler, and when Creed was 6. I smiled at the two memories, and tried my hardest to not shed a tear. "You guys were so little back then..." I stared up at my son & daughter, both of them all grown up, "Now look at you, you're both pretty much adults now. Its freaky." Creed smiled, his emerald eyes twinkling, "Soon, I'll be a pirate! Both of us will be! And then we'll travel, and gather a crew, and make our name imprinted onto history!" Creed declared. I laughed, "Well until that day, I wait for you both to show up as the head news line of the paper."

"Come on now, its my present now." Itami said. I nod at my wife, "Of course." She gave her present, and kissed my cheek, "Happy birthday." She whispered.

I flipped the box open, and my eyes went wide as soon as I saw my old things from when I was a pirate on the old mans ship. Mine & Itami's wanted posters, photographs, daggers, my hat, my old belt, my elbow guard...everything was in here. Even wedding photos. Itami smiled at me, then winked. "B-but how?! I thought we lost all of it at the war..." I murmured. "Well...when you love someone very much, you tend to take some of the things that they owned.." I put my hat on my head, and Itami giggled, "Wow! Thats a fashion sense that I haven't seen for a while!" Creed's eyes dazzled, "Ooooh can I try it on?" I took my hat off, "Sure."

Creed stared at it for a little bit, before he put it on. "So? How do I look?" He asked. "You look just like your Father...only younger.." Itami gasped. I stood up, putting a arm around my son, "You look like a handsome devil." I state. Then we all burst out laughing.

Itami searched the house for Ace, until she finally went outside, and found him sitting on the cliff, wearing his hat, with no shirt on. He was holding his wanted poster, and her wanted poster. She suddenly felt nostalgic, seeing him like that. Ace still had his Whitebeard pirates tattoo, and it all suddenly made him look like he was 20 again, instead of 39.

"You look like you're you when you were younger." Itami said, sitting down next to him. He chuckled, "I am still young." She sighed, leaning her head against his bicep, "Ace, being halfway to 78 years of age isn't young." Ace pouts, "Now you're making me sound old.." Itami sweatdrops, "Oh shush." Ace sighs, staring up at the starry night, "Man...17...I was 17 when I first set sail.." he looked at Itami, tucking a piece of hair behind hear ear, "And here you are, you're 40 & you don't look a day over 20." Itami playfully punched his arm, "Oh shut up you."

Ace chuckled, as he stared at Itami. They both suddenly felt young again as Ace cupped her face, and leaned in for a kiss. It almost felt like their first kiss all over again; soft, passionate, and loving. "Itami..." he murmured to her. "Yes?" She asked, looking at him with bright emerald eyes. He brushed her cheek with his thumb,

"Thank you for loving me."
