Okay!

I wanted to publish something like this for a while. When I saw icefox94 publish a story similar to mine, I just had to put this out. Thanks icefox94!

I do not own One Piece, but I do own this wack reality idea.

"Zehahaha!" Blackbeard stood above Ace's bloody unmoving form. Around them, the wreckage that was once a town smoldered and crackled. The battle was over, Ace had lost, Teach had won.

"You should have taken my offer, and become one of my nakama Ace. Our crew is going to the top! Although, I can understand why you said no. If I had known Strawhat Luffy was your brother…" At this Blackbeard paused and cast an amused glance at the exhausted young man. Anyway, now you're my ticket to becoming a Shichibukai!" Ace didn't move. The fat man laughs again.

"Zehahahaha! Now that I think about it, it seems obvious that you two are related. When I met him in Jaya," Ace stiffened, but the dark captain continued, "he pissed me of just as much as you do! He had spunk! But he had a horrible sense of taste." The man makes a face recalling the pie arguement. Ace stays still, hands clenched angrily. Blackbeard notices and grins.

"Don't worry Ace, he left before I could figure out who he was. Plus, when I tried to catch him, he escaped on a Knock-Up Stream! Of all things! Zehahahaha! Now I don't need him! Your bounty will be enough."

Now, anyone who loves One Piece knows what happens after this. Ace is taken to Marineford, where he later dies in the arms of his brother, who gave so much to save him. But, when there is such an emotional part of the story the story often splits. It splits into other realities, and some of them flit into a person's mind and inspire them. Most become their own story and have nothing to do with wherever they came from, but there are other realities that are so connected to the story, that they just have to be written as…well fanfiction's of that story. This can happen to any story. This is the story of a reality, that right then peeled and branched off of the original story. Destiny and Fate planted a thought in Teach's head. This thought grew into an amazing idea. So amazing that he stopped laughing at once. He paused and said,

"Hmmmm, but if I had your brother too…" He grins at this wonderful thought, mind already whirling with possibilities.

Firefist Ace, a big brother to the end, somehow finds a reserve of strength and quick as a whip, is clutching Blackbeard's coat. His legs are trembling and already he can feel himself starting to collapse again, but he manages to maintain his composure for just a moment. In that moment, his disgusting enemy falters.

"Don't you dare touch him!" Ace whispers, glaring furiously. Blackbeard blinks…and smirks. He brushes his former commanders hands off of his coat like a bit of dust and begins to walk away/

"Nothing you can do about it former Commander." Ace's last reserve of strength finally runs out, and his world goes dark. Teach grins and calls Jesus Burgess over to come pick up the bloody boy. The muscular man runs over, jumping blackened wood beams and being careful to avoid any fragile areas. Burgess throws the commander over his shoulder and carries him to the ship. Doc Q and Stronger follow him, as well as Van Augur, the sniper. Only Laffite stays behind.

"Are we going to the Marines now?" The would be mime asks casually.

Teach smirks evilly.

"…No we still have one more stop to make."

Laffite looks interested at once.

"Oh?" He doesn't even bother to point out how dangerous it is to travel with Firefist Ace as their prisoner. He knows Blackbeard has a plan.

"Where will we be stopping, if I may ask?"

"We are going to pick up Monkey D. Luffy. He hasn't seen his brother in a long time, I'm sure he'll be thrilled." Laffite grins back in understanding, and the two walk back to the ship.

That night, the Blackbeard pirates celebrate. They drink and laugh about how Blackbeard will be a Shichibukai. And occasionally, they yell down to Ace, who is locked in a cell in the brig, about how his little brother was going to see him soon. A family reunion. Portgas D. Ace lets a single tear of frustration fall and chokes angrily.

"I'm sorry Luffy."

Short Chapter, I know.

I'll post more later. It sucks how nobody writes during the school year!

Also, I'll still be working on my other story, but whenever I think about it, my head starts to spin. So many cool ideas!

See Ya!
