Chapter 3 - Whatever It Takes

A/N: So I already had this chapter earlier but I didn't have the time to post it as I went to the Handshake Event of MNL48 (An AKB48 sister group). Seriously, I haven't get over with that, I'm still giddy and excited. Like when they started performing, Sayaka (one of my oshimen) and my eyes met and she smiled at me. Oh my gosh! I'm melting and I can hear my heart go 'boom' and the song they were performing were Aitakatta, it added to the effect. And when they we're exiting the stage she high five my outstretched hand not once but multiple times while smiling with that very sweet smile of her. Then during the handshake, she really have a firm shake too bad I'm so nervous that I can't hold her hands that firmly and all I can do was smile widely like the idiot I am and told her good luck to the General Election. Have I mention that her smile are so sweet. I understand now the feeling of those people who's always saying that they will never wash their hand ever again after they got hold of their idol. I can still smell her perfume on my hand. Pfftt. I'm starting to sound like a pervert, sorry. I'm just happy. I even met my oshimen in Aidoru Sozai, Yanachii and got a photo opportunity with her. She's so sweet as well. The only regret I have though, is that I didn't got a chance to have a handshake opportunity with the Duran twins because when I got there the cue was cut off and time for the 2nd batch to prepare.

Fangirling aside. Here's the new chapter. I really want to thank Royiah for offering to proofread this fic. they really went their way to fix my bad grammar and spelling mistakes. They even made some suggestion to fill those plot holes that I tend to put due to my impulsiveness. They even fixed chapter 1 and chapter 2. Also credits to her for the brilliant chapter titles. Thank you very much!

Sorry for this long author's note. I really tried not to get talkative here but I'm just happy because SAYAKAAAAAA! Yahhhhh

Now Without Further Ado!

Sabo shouldn't be here. Sabo. Shouldn't. Be. Here. He was supposed to watch Luffy while Ace looked for a way to save their little brother. Ace blinked for a moment to make sure that he was not hallucinating but when he opened his eyes he could still see his brother being restrained was the last straw. He could feel his flames bubbling inside him as he screamed. Nobody would ever have the right to hold his brother or they will answer to his fire fist.

Rushing toward the tall man that was holding his brother. Ace growls, his body temperature rising as his flames curled around him. "Let go of my brother!" Dodging, the man let go of Sabo, Ace's burning fist flying past him.

"How dare you touch him!" Ace continued to jump at and punch the man, his fire burning the deck of the ship as the mans' fellow crewmates ran away from his fire. Other's putting out the mini fires ondeck. He could hear his brother calls for him, but Ace didn't respond as he continued to attack with his fire.

"Ace that's enough! We have to get away from here." Sabo screamed, snapping Ace from his attack, he was panting hard, his eyes still wide glaring at the crew of the Moby Dick. Right. They needed to get to Luffy and rush him to the underground doctor that they had spoken to. They shouldn't have wasting their time here, not when Luffy is injured unable to help himself. Ace breathes deeply trying to calm down as his thoughts wander to his baby brother.

"You're right. We shouldn't waste our time here." Ace said, releasing his fire. Before they could run a loud booming voice echoed throughout the deck. "What's happening here?"
