Here's chapter 2 :)
I don't own One Piece or any of the amazing characters
Luffy couldn't believe what he was hearing. It couldn't be Ace right? But no one else could make him feel so at ease with just a mere touch like Ace did. Besides his crew of course. He started to slowly move his head to the right trying to find out who's the arm belonged to only to be confronted by the face of his big brother.
"Hey Lu. Long time no see huh", grinned the freckled fire user hoping his little brother wouldn't freak too much.
Luffy couldn't believe it. It really was Ace. His big brother was right here with him. He couldn't stop the smile that was starting to show on his face. But wait how was this even possible? Taking another look at Ace at first glance he may seem solid but if you look closer you could tell he wasn't. Why was he here?
"I'm guessing you're wondering why I'm here right? " when he saw the shocked but happy rubber boy nod his head Ace had decided to sit down next to his brother while still keeping his arm around his shoulders. Looking out at the beautiful scenery that the sea was offering Ace looked at Luffy from the corner of his eye and said, "I'm here because a certain idiot little brother of mine keep thinking its his fault for my death."
Luffy's whole body went rigid when he heard the word 'death' come into the conversation. He turned his attention away from Ace, shame starting to take place in his heart. He was starting to remember why he had separated himself from his friends, not wanting to worry them with his problems. Because he started to remember memories that he thought wouldn't bother him anymore.
Ace noticed this right away and knew it was his fault that his little brother felt this way. But he was going to make it better because that's what older siblings do. Its part of the job description. Besides he wouldn't forgive himself knowing that Luffy was going to spend the rest of his life thinking what if and forever blame himself for Ace's death.
Ace turned his body so that he was facing Luffy completely. "Lu look at me," Luffy shook his head refusing to look at him. Ace tried again," Come on Lu just look at me," Ace pleaded only to be refused once again. Portgas D Ace always had a short temper, when it involved a certain monkey, and that wasn't going to change even in death.
"Dammit Luffy look at me!", startled by hearing the sheer anger and desperation in his brothers voice Luffy turned around and looked at Ace. Ace sighed tiredly and rubbed his forehead," You just love making things difficult don't you Lu."
