Chapter 1: Ace and Tattoo
When Ace turned to 14 years old. He decided to have a tattoo. A cool tattoo. He had though so many option of a tattoo. He though so many options like a dragon tattoo, a skull, a snake but at last he though simple was the best. So he decided to make a tattoo with his name on it.
The next morning Ace decided to go to the tattoo shop. On his way, he though he heard a strange noise coming from the bushes near him. Proving his suspicion he turned to the spot and finding his suspicion correct as he notice a straw hat peeked out from the bushes.
Ace sighed. His little brother was suck when it came to hide and seek. Deciding what to do, he finally walked toward the bushes, poked the straw hat and pulled Luffy out ignoring his yelp.
"Luffy, didn't I tell you to stay home." Ace scolded his idiotic little brother as he narrowed his eyes angrily at him.
"But, it is boring when you are not around." The little brother of him sulked and pouted.
Ace sighed in respond, he twitched a bit when he saw the pleading look Luffy gave him. His little brother was like a kid sometimes but he knew it was what made him the way he was "Alright then, you can come with me"
Luffy face brightened hearing the reply of his big brother. He opened his mouth to say something but got interrupted by Ace
"But you have to promise not to cause trouble" said Ace with a little doubt because the word Luffy and trouble couldn't be separated with each other.
"Aye. Sir" Luffy answered with a bright smile not noticing the worried look on Ace face that directed to him.
At the tattoo shop Ace asked the tattoo maker to tattoo his left arm with his own name. The tattoo maker was a man around middle age with a long moustache in his face.
"What's your name sir?" the tattoo maker asked Ace politely before Ace could answer that question Luffy had already shouted loudly
"ACE" the tattoo maker and Ace simultaneously looked at Luffy who was sitting in the chair near them smiling widely. He kept looking around and muttering "cool" every time he looked at things he considered interesting. His eyes sparkled with excitement and he couldn't stop grinning. The other customers precisely woman who was in there squealed and muttered how cute or adorable he was and some of them even tried to hug him
Ace rolled his eyes, mumbling about how woman couldn't stand cute things. While the tattoo maker eyed Luffy enviously.
The tattoo maker then started to work. He would sometimes made conversation with Ace during his work or occasionally shouted to Luffy to not touch his work tools.
Halfway, Ace yawned. He felt sleepy. His eyes began to feel heavier. His eyes scanned the room and he found Luffy who was busy making an airplane from the newspaper.
"Luffy" Ace called his little brother.
Hearing his name Luffy looked up at Ace. He tilted his head then smiled while holding a paper plane in his both hands
Ace couldn't hold his smile his brother was so damn cute. He muttered in his mind.
"Can you watch him work, so he didn't spell my names wrong?"Ace pointed at the tattoo maker who ignored him and continued his work.
Luffy grinned and nodded enthusiasm. Feeling a bit relieved Ace soon drifted to sleep.
A few minutes later the tattoo maker got a little confused about how Ace name spelled "is it Ice, Ase, or Ace" the tattoo maker wondered confusedly
He glanced at his customer who was now sleeping with a loud snore. He couldn't ask him so what would he do now. The tattoo maker felt confused but then remembered about his customer request to his brother." Ah, I can ask his brother" the tattoo maker though happily. He searched for Luffy and found him curled up like a cat in the corner.
"Hey kid, how did you spell your brother's name, A-S-E or A-C-E?" The tattoo maker kindly asked.
Luffy glanced at him a bit. His eyes felt sleepy. He couldn't hear the word clearly. "Hmm?" He mumbled softly then he looked at the tattoo maker with a confused face.
"I asked about your brother name, is it Ase or Ace?" The man repeated his question.
Luffy mind stopped to work he was tired and he just wanted to sleep. He figured the man asked him to choice about something. But he didn't hear it clearly. Too tired to ask again. Luffy answered lazily "Mmm, both?" He answered half heartily soon drifted back to sleep.
What did he mean by that? The tattoo maker raised his eyebrow at the confusing answer. He wanted to ask his customer little brother once again but he found him already asleep.
"Both. Ase and Ace?" the tattoo maker thought hard trying to figured out what Luffy means by "both"
"Ah I know" he suddenly smiled as his face brightened.
So that was how his name was spelled. What a weird name though. Without thinking the tattoo maker continued his work.
After one hour he finished his job. He wanted to tell his customer that the tattoo had already done but seeing he slept soundly he decided to wait a little. He left a note saying he would go out a bit and would come back soon.
A few minutes later. Luffy woke up. He rubbed his sleeping eyes. He saw Ace still sleeping but he didn't find the tattoo maker anywhere. Luffy looked at the note in the table and read it aloud. After that he looked at Ace. He wanted to see his new cool tattoo. Luffy grinned but after he saw the tattoo in Ace's left arm his jaw dropped.
"Holly fucking shit. Ace was going to kill me". Luffy shouted in his mind. The tattoo in Ace arm wasn't spelled A-C-E but instead it spelled A-S-C-E. Luffy face became pale. He was running around panicked but he accidentally tripped and fell over Ace making him awake.
"LUFFY, WHAT THE HELL YOU ARE DOING? Ace shouted angrily at the fact his little nap got interrupted. He shoved his idiotic brother from him then He looked around and realized that the tattoo maker was gone. So, it was only him and Luffy here. He found a note near him and read it. He grinned a bit after knowing his new tattoo was finished.
"So, my tattoo had done already." Ace smirked. He stood in front of mirror to see his new tattoo.
Seeing that, Luffy gulped hard as he slowly walked towards the door intending to run away but unluckily the door was unlocked and most likely the key was in the tattoo maker hand.
Because of this now Luffy had to think a good reason or he would likely got killed by Ace. If he said to Ace he felt asleep then Ace would be angrily because Luffy didn't keep his promise. So he had to think a better reason.
While Luffy mind went panicked Ace was busy looking at his tattoo. He frowned at his reflection then his expression changed as his face darkened. He looked at his new tattoo not believing what he had just said.
He turned around to Luffy glaring at him. "Luffy, didn't I tell you to watch the tattoo maker?" Ace asked with intimidated aura
Hearing the scary tone in his brother voice Luffy gulped as he went silent but suddenly he though a brilliant idea.
Looking up at his angry brother, Luffy put his best innocent face then He made a puppy eyes that he knew Ace couldn't resist when he wanted something. He tilted his head and smiling widely as if there was nothing wrong "Eh isn't Ace name spelled A-S-C-E ?" Luffy asked pretended to be confused of his brother's reaction to his new tattoo.
Ace went silent as he stared at his brother for a while then he sighed. He cursed and mumbled about a stupid and naïve little brother and a stupid tattoo maker.
When the tattoo maker came back he didn't expect he would be welcomed by a scary death glare and an angry Ace who yelled at him to fix his tattoo for free. The tattoo maker tried hard to defend himself by explaining the detail of what happened. He explained that he asked his customer's little brother but he got confused of his answer and when he wanted to ask once again Luffy had already asleep.
Luffy titled his head cutely once again looking confused. "When was that happen?" he asked with an innocent face that made the tattoo maker got flustered and panicked.
Ace stared at both of them. He looked at Luffy then the tattoo maker and then to Luffy again. He crossed his arms and made a face like he was judging about something.
The tattoo maker opened his mouth once again tried to defend himself but stopped as soon as he sensed the dangerous aura surrounded him. He saw the deathly glare that Ace directed to him. The tattoo maker shuddered in fear.
"Maybe I can give you a 100% discount then" The tattoo maker laughed weakly. Ace nodded slightly still felling a bit pissed. Behind him, Luffy smirked full of victory
