"Where am I? Is this a dream?" You look up at the golden sky while you were wondering on the soft clouds. The warmth of the sun is beaming upon you. "This couldn't possibly be Heaven, could it?" You question yourself as you grasp your silky white dress that sets above your knees. This also gathered your attention. When did you get the time to change? How did you teleport up into the sky? Where's the rest of your crew? Then it occurred to you that you should call out for someone.
"Hello! Is anyone here?! If you can hear me... Answer me! Anyone?" It still remained silent, then suddenly you heard snoring, faintly, in the distance. Both of your feet instantly took off when you heard the noise and you could see a man laying on the floor, sleeping peacefully on the cotton textured clouds. The sleeping man had white wings sprouting out of his back and they sparkled ever so proudly.
He didn't seem familiar to you, so you rolled him onto his back slowly, not wanting to damage his wings. Then all so suddenly, your heart is in your mouth. Your jaws dropped open at the sight of this man and your eyeballs were one centimetre away from popping out of your head. His raven, wavy hair. The way his smirk was plastered onto his face even when sleeping. Those freckles... There's no doubt about it... It's Ace!
"Holy crap! Ace!!!" You instantly drop to your knees, excitement flowed throughout your body and turned to tears of happiness which were flowing out on his muscular chest. Your wailing seemed to wake him up. "Am I seeing a angel right now?" You cup both your hands on the sides of his face, trying to figure out if this was real or not.
"Woah, Y/N? What are you doing here? I'd never expect to see you here!" Ace chuckles while rubbing your hand. "Why did God think that you of all people... deserves a place in heaven?" He jokes once more before wiping away your tears.
"I don't care! The only thing that matters is that you're here! Oh, H-How I wish L-L-Luffy a-a-and Sabo could witness this moment!" You stutter, snort and sob at him. "Ace! Ace!!!" You scream into the crooks of his neck hysterically while he smiles and waits for you to calm down for a few minutes.
"We'll see my brothers in a few decades... Until then, I wish for them to live their lives with no regrets." Ace smiles as he pats your back. "I'm their guardian angel now, so I know they'll be fine with me watching over them" His enthusiasm made you smile. Knowing that Ace is happy with watching over his brothers made you feel warm and safe on the inside. If this really is heaven, then it's just as the Bible says. It's filled with angels. Ace is evidence of that.
"I just... never would've thought that you would leave us so early. Your death completely shook the world, you know? Those aspiring to be like you are trying their best, fighting in the name of your justice. It's amazing how much influence you have... You're still a very powerful man" Your words made his eyes teary.
"Ohh, come on now!" He blushes, brushing of your words but it was no use. He completely bursts out into tears, embracing your figure and completely wetting your shoulder. "You know the saying y/n... Legends die young" he mumbles quietly then let's out a soft smile.
"You're sure right!" You agreed with him, nodding your head. Both of you took in the view you were gifted with as you listened to the sound of birds humming. His hand was set on top of yours as you lay on his lap. It was a sight that you never would've imagine happening but Ace is a close friend to you. You once had formed an alliance with The Whitebeard pirates which paved the way for many other pirate crews. Whitebeard treated you as if you were one of his daughters, loving you endlessly and always protecting you, no matter the cost. Everyone had grown accustomed to you and you was loved by all members in the crew. Ace always picked you as a sparring partner because he loved a challenging opponent. It sure brought back memories from the past.
"So what brings you here y/n? What formidable enemy killed you?" He asks bluntly while playing with your thumbs.
"Tch, I don't wanna talk about it" You pout not wanting to remember your last battle.
"Too bad, I'll get the answer out of you, one way or another!" Ace says playfully while his hands were slowly coming down to tickle your sides.
"You're not gonna break me" You slowly inch away from him.
"Are you sure about that?" Ace responds as his hands came down fast to your sides and tickles you without showing any mercy. This is what you missed. Non stop laughter and happiness is all that you wanted.
"Okay, okay, I give!" You sigh "So, what happened was..." You explain what happened until you ended up falling asleep.
"Even in death, You're still someone that I have to protect." Ace places a kiss on your forehead as he peacefully watched you fall fast asleep.
