A/N: Okay, this was done before by someone else (who I can't actually remember right now) but I loved it so much that I had to attempt a second go so consider this a (respectful) sequel to a previous fic you probably know. ^_^'

Prompt: On being a fanboy/fangirl

Character(s): Ace, Luffy, Strawhats, Whitebeard pirates

The Strawhat pirates had crossed paths with the Whitebeard pirates for the first time since the war.

Naturally, being who they were and not suffering from a healthy fear of a Yonkou or a sensible survival instinct, they quickly boarded in order for the brothers D to have their tear and snot filled reunion.

There was laughter, food, drink, gambling, dancing and music so it was pretty much like any other day with the Strawhats when they were welcomed aboard by their very fond rivals/comrades/friends.

After a monstrous feast (where Ace only fell asleep twice) everyone retreated to the deck in order to relax and catch up on gossip. Ace had promptly winked at Luffy and wiggled a thick book at which the aspiring pirate king had scuttled off to fetch his own.

They faced each other under the amused eyes of their families and drew their weapons.

"Shanks."

"Pffft, You already got him when we were kids. I got Oyaji, that's way better"

"I got him too! Besides, he's your captain so getting his autograph is no big deal!"

"Whatever. I also have all of the autographs of Pops commanders. Can you beat that?"

Luffy grinned "Don't need to, I got them all the last time I saw you guys. Don't believe me? Look, there's Pineapple-Ossan."

Ace whirled around and snarled "Goddammit Marco! This is between me and Luffy, don't interfere!" Marco merely guffawed unrepentedly "And don't think I won't deal with the rest of you bastards too!"

Luffy grinned and Usopp snickered in the background.

"Is that all you got Ace? I've really improved my collection since the last time I saw you. Check it out I've got Crocodile and Mr.1, Iva-chan and Crab-chan, Buggy and Fish-ossan too."

Ace gaped, clearly he had been a little too slack lately "Wait, Crocodile? Didn't you defeat him in Alabasta? I got Iva-san and Jimbei so you're not that far ahead yet!"

Robin looked up from her book "Don't forget the 'Supernovas Captain."

"Yeah, thanks Robin. I got all of the Supernovas too!"

Ace peered at the signatures and wondered whether Trafalgar Law had written an insult or a come-on. "Damn, I have to admit that I don't have any of them."

"I also got Rayleigh-ossan and Shakky!" Luffy cheered completely oblivious to the enormous spit-take performed by the crew of Whitebeard.

"SILVERS RAYLEIGH! HOLY" Ace paused and took a deep breath "okay, what do you want to trade. I have every ally of Pops. How about Whitey Bay? Or Doma?"

"Nah, got them already and Lola's mama too."

"Big Mama. Wow, Luffy I don't think I'll be able to compete with you on this level much longer."

"Oi," Sanji exhaled a long stream of smoke "Luffy. Show him that one."

Luffy blinked but complied and Ace leaned over the book "Boa Hancock…..is that a den-den mushi number?"

In the end it was declared a win for Luffy but Ace jumped him for an ass-kicking anyway consoling himself with the thought that at least he had that to hold over his little brother even if his autograph collection was that much more awesome than his own.
