''Ace!'' he heard her scream after him.

She screamed his name over and over again followed by a rant in Spanish, which he assumed wasn't supposed to be kind... Her beautiful voice, screaming with fierce in the always so seductive Spanigh language... As he rowed his longboat further away from the island, the sound of her screaming became less and less audible.

For a moment he stopped rowing, trying to catch the last sound of that beautiful voice. The voice of that beautiful woman... He watched the island, now a little spot far away... For some reason he couldn't explain, Ace thought about how he had been stranded on this very island himself. He had been rowing in a longboat as well... Maybe this was the same thing?

Getting further and further away from Isuka the women he left behind...

Was this really the right decision? Leaving Isuka, again! Stirrings. Feelings. Love. Ace huffed and reached for his compass, maybe that would help him... That's when he realised his compass wasn't there, Deuce had it...

There was no other option, he had to leave her and go to Deuce. The Captain continued, the island with Isuka on it slowly disappearing from view...

Just don't say it will be alright

You're not holding yourself in your arms tonight

Don't say it will all be fine

In only a moment you'll say goobye

''Ace...'' Isuka's voice was now reduced to a hoarse timid whisper...

All the screaming had made her lose her voice. She had lost her voice, just as she had lost Ace... She couldn't believe it! He had left her again, that bastard! She had told him she loved him...

Now, he knew her weakness... She love him... He'd probably known all along, that she loved him... It's was painfully obvious and trying to love him was obviously painful! He had left her!

For a minute, she had thought he had meant it... That he loved her...

''I love you!'' ''As do I. Always have, always will.'' that surely sounded like he loved her or was he talking about himself?!

Leaning in to kiss her like that... She would've done anything for that kiss! Not that it would've helped, he hadn't fallen for her lies...

Isuka got out of the water she was currently standing in as she tried to ran after him. She walked onto the beach and walked into direction of the shade of a little palmtree. She dropped down and rested her back against the tree. She tried to hold back the tears. Every time Portgas D. Ace left her, she would feel absolutely miserable!

She looked at the water, the little waves rolled onto the beach. She felt like as if the sot waves resembled her tears, soft and barely noticeable... She just simply stared at the little waves.

Shell Town - SiX Months Later-

"I knew you were strong, i want you to join me." Said Ace. His confidence oozed with every word he spoke.

"Tsk yeah right, like I'll ever join you. Get lost, I got something to prove here" Deuce's intense gaze wouldn't go unnoticed by the young captain, yet he remained determined.

"I heard they weren't going to let you go. They're going to execute you!" Exclaimed the rookie Captain.

"Let them, I doubt that damn shitty brat will have enough guts to do it."

"Tell you what, I'm breaking you out of here!"

"Nobody asked you to do anything..."

"Well well well, how is our prisoner." A small boy who was the son of the marine commander went inside the prison yard and ate some food right at the face of the prisoner. "You really didn't think I'll let you go did you?" Lines of rifleman stood in a line pointing their guns at the prisoner.

His grip tightened trying to break his cuffs.

Helmeppo

Useless brat

"Okay get ready! Aim! Fire!" The line of soldiers shot at the helpless prisoner, yet they missed the rookie captain.

Ace absorbed all of the bullets, and with a smile on his face, he then launched fire back to the marine soldiers.

"Idiots!" Screamed the enlightened captain and uncuffed the prisoner. The prisoner smiled under his mask and rubbed his wrist. He stood up standing beside the young captain as a powerful foe emerged amongst the fallen marines.

"Who the hell do you think you are! I am Axe Hand Morgan! My law is absolute! Power is absolute! Justice will prevail!"

The young captain drew back both of his arms and launched them at the marine captain. "Fire Fist!"

Despite the amazing launch of the attack, the Marine Captain blocked the attack by raising his solid metal axe for an arm.

"Absolute justice will prevail! I am Captain Axe Hand Morgan you fool!"

Axe Hand Morgan

Marine Captain

"I'm Portgas D. Ace captain of the Spade pirates! And this is my first mate... uh what's your name again?" Ace looked puzzled at his new crew member.

Portgas D. Ace

Captain Spade Pirates

0 beri

Deuce thought to correct the Rookie captain yet he went with his gut, 'first mate huh? Yeah I'll take that.' "My name is Masked Deuce, first mate of the Spade pirates." With the announcement of his name, Deuce drew his sword, then he launched at Morgan, his blade connecting with the axe arm and the right arm connected right at the jaw.

Morgan let out a loud groan loosing footing. Deuce's attack was immediately followed by Ace's Firefist, effectively knocking the Marine Captain out of consciousness. Helmeppo ran away immediately yelling something about getting revenge while the rest of the Marine's drop their weapon raising their arm in surrender.

"Wow you're strong, I knew it!" Ace said with a smile.

"You're not so bad yourself...Captain." Said Deuce while he tied his hair back. Oblivious to the duo, an exciting, tragic, and wonderful adventure awaits them.

Meanwhile in the New World

"Where are my sons!" Yelled the ghastly woman behind the giant curtain. Her giant frame caused tremble amongst those present.

"They are on their way Mama!" Replied one of the people who are witnessing Mama's anger.

"Where are they!" Big Mom raised her hands and literally pulled the soul right out of the body of the poor person.

Big Mom

Yonkou

"Mama! We are here, you can stop worrying now. What did you need from us?" Asked the 4th son of BigMom, Charlotte Oven. His presence immediately became apparent as soon as he came inside the room.

Charlotte Oven

4th Son

700 Million Beri

"Shut it, It is I that Mama needs." Said the man right behind Oven. He also emitted the same amount of pressure as the fourth son.

"Why are you such a nuisance Daifuku?" Asked his brother.

Charlotte Daifuku

3rd Son

760 Million Beri

"My sons, finally you have arrived." Big Mom retreated back to her bed while retaining her gaze to the other person present for the meeting. "My son, you will not say anything to Mama?" The man remained aloof, retaining his gaze at the window. His arms are crossed as his swords clang to his side. "Very well then Mama would like you three to take Fishman Island from the wretched Whitebeard."

"Right away, but do you know what we're up against." Asked Oven.

"No need brother, that's why we have brother...hey where did he go?" Said Daifuku. The two brothers looked for their third brother yet he was already on his way out of the room.
