'Ace!'

'Gomen Luffy. I would have loved to live and see you accomplish your dream, but I know you'll become Pirate King cause you are my otouto(1)! And...Luffy pass on this message, Pops, everybody Thank You... For loving someone like me, who is good for nothing and who has such bad blood in his veins. Thank You!'

'ACE!'

Luffy woke up with a whispered gasp. Sweat rolled down his face and onto his open chest as images of the dream came flashing in his mind. His breath came out quick and short. A soft whimper escaped his lips and a tear fell down his cheek which he quickly wiped away. He wouldn't let himself break down again, not from a nightmare. 'Just a nightmare' he thought to himself. 'Another one about Ace, they just won't stop..' Luffy got up and headed to the kitchen.

Trafalgar Law who was sleeping in the same room looked at Luffy, and thought 'Another nightmare, eh? Every night he has one. Wonder when his crew will notice.'

When Sanji woke up later on to start making the breakfast, he was surprised to see Luffy there sleeping with an empty cup of water next to him. "Oi, Luffy! What are you doing down here?"

Waking up Luffy saw Sanji staring at him curiously, "Ah, I don't know. OOH Are you making breakfast? Yeah MEAT! I'm hungry Sanji!" Walking away with a chuckle Sanji started to make breakfast.
