Disclaimer: If I owned One Piece, do you think I would have let Ace die?
The classic moment…the one instant that moves the world from one era to another… is about to occur.
It shifts the universe… tilts the axis… transforms lives…the moment that can be changed by one out-of-place action.
We all know the story of the Paramount War. Whitebeard and his allies against the Marines. Interrupted by "Strawhat" Monkey D. Luffy, little brother and savior of the condemned. Portgaz D. Ace is freed, and heading home- until silly little brother tries to recover something that has become insignificant. And like always…big brother must protect him. So it continues… Ace is gone, Luffy is taken away, Shanks arrives to stop the war.
But…
Suppose a woman long ago, before the Great Pirate Age, bore not one child, but two, a daughter and a son? Suppose the daughter followed the set path and birthed a son that was taken in by his father's rival? But maybe…just maybe, the uncle to that child kept an eye on his nephew even as he began his pirate career? What if maybe the two met and the nephew had no idea of their connection? If the nephew saved his uncle just because the uncle was a man nice enough to move him out of the street when his narcolepsy kicked in? And what if that connection echoed through the years and disrupted what would have been the beginning of a new era?
Then perhaps the nephew could be saved, and perhaps… the uncle might be as well.
This, dear readers, is the story of the nephew, Portgaz D. Ace, and his uncle, Grim D. Haru.
AN: What do you guys think? Any good? I've already got an idea of where the story might go, but suggestions help too.
