'No…' I thought desperately as I felt warm blood paint my body, 'Please this can't be real, you can't leave me.'

"Ace?" my voice was strained as tears began to leak down my distorted face. "Ace you promised me you'd never die. You can't die now… Not yet… I haven't told you yet."

As you were giving your final words each line tore at my heart.

"I'm sorry you didn't get to save me…"

'I'm sorry too… I wasn't strong enough to save your life, I'm the reason why you died'

"If I didn't have a little brother that needed to be taken care of… I would've given up then."

'Ace I've always needed you! I still do!'

"Nobody wanted me. It couldn't be helped"

'Stop spitting such obvious lies!'

"There's one thing I left undone."

'There's one thing I've also left undone' "I wasn't able to see your dream through to the end."

'I wasn't able to say it in time'

"I know you can do it."

'Brother please stop'

"You're my little brother"

'I want you as more'

"Just like I swore back then… I have no regrets!"

'Stop lying'

"I'm no lying"

'Yes you are you can't hide it'

"What I really wanted… Wasn't fame."

'I know.'

"All I wanted was to know… whether or not I should've been born."

'I've always known the answer'

"I've always been a hopeless person… I was demon spawn… the son of the devil!"

'No, you were a gift from god'

"Thank you for loving me!"

'Please don't go…'

You never heard my words, nor my pleads for you to live. You never heard my silent confessions and now I'm alone without your love. Why did you have to protect me? Your pathetic little brother, who couldn't even tell you four simple words.

'Ace, I love you. I don't ever want you to leave. You were never the son of the devil, you were my guardian angel and because of that your wings are clipped. I'm sorry I was such a coward… Maybe if I had spoken before all this things would have been different.'

Your body fell limp to the side and I felt my mind shut down, the pain was too much I could barely live without you.

"Thank you for loving me!" your voice rang through my head again. I doubt you knew this but I've always loved you. I hated when you were gone and it was painful to see you cry.

'Please don't leave me' I cried as I was trapped in my thoughts, 'You're the last thing I need taken from me. I lost my crew, my nakama, and now I lose my brother, my love.'

"Ace" Tears continued to grace my skin as my broken body destroyed my surroundings, "Ace why?" I asked the heavens looking for your answer, "Why die for me?!" Angry fists destroyed the soft grassy grounds, "Why damn it why?!"

Clutching my face, digging the stubby nails into my skin I could practically hear your loving voice, "Because I love you."

Sobbing in agony I collapse to the ground much like you did when you took your last glimpse at my tear stain face, "I love you! I always loved you!" I roared hoping that some way you could hear my pitiful cries, "Ace you were never meant to be alone. You had a huge loving family and two brothers… Sabo, please keep Ace Company and remind him that he's never alone now."

Luffy, I know. Thank you for your love.

Goodbye…

I loved you till the end.
