XD so Zoro's special person was guessed by onepiece938! The first person to guess and got it. So congratulations! I gave a prize to he/her already. Hope you like it :D

Akrim, sorry dude, but you failed in guessing who was gonna take Nami. It's not that marine mouse guy at all. The person has nothing to do with Arlong at all, to give you a hint.

Anyways I wanna dedicate this chapter to onepiece938 again! I'm really happy he/her was the first one to guess it and get it right again. I don't seem to be able to get that out of my system.

FYI all of the fights scenes will have the moves from Tae Kwon Do! The martial arts I'm a black belt in! So if you need to know what a kick/punch/whatever else move looks like go search it up on the internet!

DISCLAIMER: If I did own One Piece there would be romance. Yet I don't, so I can't have any say in that.

LET THE CHAPTER BEGIN!


The black night made it hard to see very well. Sure the light from the shops and homes below was there, but tonight there wasn't very much. A blur though was running on the rooftops.

Ace sighed. He shouldn't be here going to checking on Nojiko. He was supposed to be out of the kingdom already traveling to New World castle. There he would be laying low and when he thought he had a chance go see Nojiko. Even though that was a problem since he was wanted in New World as well.

Life is so frustrating at the moment... for me at least, he thought to himself. He could only imagine what other people could feel when they were frustrated.

Getting distracted isn't helping me at all. C'mon Ace think! You can see Nojiko without her knowing at get out of there. That's the way. Triumph in his ideas clouded his mind so couldn't see one person looking into Nojiko's window.

Almost that is.

Ace had honestly never seen this person in his whole entire life. That was what scared him the most. Judging the way he was looking at the window the person knew Nojiko... is a strange way. Ace was already frozen in his tracks before he realized it. He continued to look at the man who was staring into the window.

The man was wearing all black as he took a half-step from the shadows-

Oh dear God no.

The man he had seen in his dreams was standing out their window.

Ace felt anger and worry that coursed through his veins. Adrenaline was pumping, getting his body ready for the strange man.

However before he had a chance to get his attention the man disappeared into the shadows.

Ace jumped down from the building he was on top of. He landed with a crack leaving a dent in the ground. He feet were a little numb, but now he didn't care at all. He walked over to the shadows slowly each step filled with energy that he didn't want to release.

The shadows he had disappeared from held this... aura. The aura was pouring from the shadows, radiating is a better way to describe. The way the man had left was unnoticed until something shifted inside of Ace.

He still felt the same, but his senses increased in the weirdest way ever. The only sense that altered (that he knew of) was his eyesight altering just a tiny bit making him see a trail filled of darkness.

Then adrenaline took over. Ace didn't see any ladder when he first jumped down, but soon he was climbing one- inhumanly fast. The roof was a bare on brick as Ace followed a path. Running and jumping he passed many building filled with things on top or bare, cold roofs.

Faster and faster he went following the trail.

The person he was traveling was going faster by the second- Ace couldn't keep up.

Like hell I'll let this guy go. I need to know who he is. Ace thought willing himself to go faster. Damn it! Move legs! Faster, faster, faster, FASTER! his mind was screaming for his legs to move faster- and they obliged. He was sprinting faster by the second wanting to catch the man with everything inside of him... and that was a whole heaping helping

After a while the buildings came to an abrupt stop. There was nothing, but a tall wall made of steel. This was the wall that separated the Old World kingdom with Grand Line- the desert sea of sand. Usually one would want to take a mode of travel like a camel. Even the sand held mysteries that the people who have searched the whole desert haven't heard off.

Though that was only the beginning of Grand Line. For underneath the desert was a civilization that outnumbered Old World castle by at least three-fold.

Ace remembered this in a split second before his body took over again. He jumped up from the roof, wind rippling his clothes as the wind howled in his ears. Ace wasn't going to make the jump and, hell, he knew it.

Ignoring everything else the wall came faster and faster until- he stood his foot out and he was falling backwards. He fell for only a couple feet before he shifted his feet so they were behind him, knees curled to his chest and- SWOOSH! air that had been behind him swirled around his feet and he pushed off from nothing. He was heading back to the wall this time however he was going to land higher than he was when he first landed on it.

A sickening crack was heard as the wall lost some of its stones and having a newfound dent in it. Ace however paid no attention this this as he shot back into the air once again. He constantly repeated this process over and over again anticipating the moment when he would reach the top.

The trail he had been following was getting a new thicker darker aura to it having his patience of finding this person was becoming unbearable to him, Ace had finally made it too the top.

There were no guards- wait two guards walking towards him in grey clad Armour, with spears on one shoulder, a sword on the hip, and a shield on their backs. Ace let a soft growl leave his mouth before he jumped off the wall his hands gripping the sides so he wouldn't be seen.

Clank-clank... clank-clank...

That sound became louder and louder as Ace knew they were getting closer. At the peak of one clank-clank it lessened a little bit as the other guard reached the same noise. Taking it as his chance to beat the guards and get back on his hunt Ace pulled himself up the momentum from his arms left him hovering above the wall for a few seconds.

All the guards had heard was a howl of wind before something had impaled them in the faces knocking them down to the ground unconscious.

After than blow Ace's palms were a little sore from hitting metal Armour though he shook it off as he soared down to the ground.

This seems to be interesting, thought, Kai, Luffy's... friend.

"What the hell are you doing here Kai?" Luffy exclaimed harsh toward his associate. His spiky black hair was all over his heads poking out in different directions, his coal eyes blank as always never showing any known emotion, his shark-like face holding an over-confident smirk (it also kinda said 'I'm an egomaniac' which is true), and his tan skin having some shine in the bright lights hanging from the ceiling. The clothes Kai was wearing was a classic black suit with a white dress shirt underneath.

"I was in the area and thought I'd stop by to see his highness." Kai replied his body language saying he was bored yet his eyes showed nothing of the sort.

"I don't need to see someone like you here at the moment. I'm busy."

"Busy as in going around and putting your fist through portraits speaking of which, Ace's" Kai had said this intended to make Luffy feels guilty, but instead he got a different reaction. Luffy's fist flew the air as it made a distinctive whooshing sound. Luffy's fist connected with Kai's lower right jaw with a sickening of the sickest cracks in history.

Luffy was panting at his outburst when he realized what he had done. He glanced up to see that Kai's jaw twisted in a sick way with the bone dislocated and in some parts you go see it without any skin covering it. Kai let out an indescribable, shrill sound. Kai, flailing his arms now, ran in the other direction eyes watering heavily.

Luffy saw Kai rush away from him gripping his jaw. This is pure madness. Luffy thought to himself before shrugging it off.

he now knew what to do.


The man in black was walking now in the deserts of Grand Line. He was tired from exerting himself by using his 'shadow travel' as he had named it over the years. (A/N I made this up so its an OC power I guess. Doesn't relate to the guy whatsoever.)

The sand crunching under his feet had filled his mind and that was all he heard and processed that sound. His mind was blank as he allowed the sound to overrun his mind.

1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, he thought over and over. 1 step, 2 steps, 1 step, 2 steps... Only his thoughts were keeping him going. He was spacing out majorly.

To disrupt his train of thought another louder crunch was rapidly approaching him. The man had barely any time to spin around and block a round kick to the head from Ace? The runaway prince!?

"What the-" he began trying to form the words when Ace landed in a crouch. He was rushing towards the man with a punch to the gut. The man in black had little, if no, time to block this punch though he wasn't unscratched. The force of the punch was something the man had never encountered before. The raw power had sent his arms going into his stomach with a distinctive crack!

Savage beast. so much raw power! he quickly thought deciding to take action while he had a chance.

The man ax kicked downwards as Ace had successfully dodged, coming around from behind he used his devil fruit powers.

"Mera mera no Mi!" Ace shouted as his body became tolerable to controlling flames. His hands immediately burst into flames as he used his signature move "Fire Fist!" The bright yellow, orange, and red mixture of fire scorched the man's black shirt. When Ace had removed his hands there was burnt black crispy skin falling in the sand some of the dead skin melted into his back leaving this mess.

The man Ace was fighting cried out in pain and rage, whipping around to send a painful punch to Ace's jawline. Ace taken aback by this flew a couple of feet back by the sheer power of one punch.

The feeling he had earlier had disappeared leaving Ace a little dazed when he was fighting this mysterious stranger. Skidding to a stop on the sand Ace looked up to meet the man's eyes.

"Who the hell are you, bastard!" Ace screamed in pure rage. He couldn't forgive this guy, not now or ever.

"Me?" the man pointed at himself sarcastically. "I'm the man who you don't need to know about." the words were calm and that drove Ace to a completely new rage.

Without wasting any words the two men rushed forward kicking, punching, blocking, and dodging with every chance they got.

Blood and bruises were the only beginning of injuries when the fighters broke apart. The man in black was burned in several places with blood gushing out from some of the cuts while Ace had taken only minor bruising to the chin, stomach, and legs.

The fire the the Logia Devil Fruit gave him wasn't as hot as it would be however only to be expected since Ace's hadn't used it in several years.

"Then answer one thing." Ace asked his stance returning to something relaxed and he straightened his back. "Why in the world were you spying?"

The mysterious stranger knew what he meant by these words he thought of a suitable answer in a second, "That information is for certain personnel only. You don't qualify."

"Then how 'bout we make a deal? If I win this fight you tell me and if I lose..."

"You're coming with me."

"Agreed."

"Let's get this started then," the stranger said as he rushed towards Ace ready to strike.


When the battle was over one man was on the ground, his whole body covered in cuts, scrapes, blood, black skin, and indescribable things that are unknown to man. The Logia Devil Fruit user had received bruises and lost some blood, but nothing compared to this man. Honestly Ace was surprised to hear his shallow rigid breathing still loud.

"I won so tell me." Ace stated wasting no time in order to get what he needed. He looked down at the man his Devil Fruit powers turning off.

"Heh..." the man huffed, "Well then... I was ordered to by one of the three lords." with that the man slipped into a unwanted sleep.

"Damn it!" Ace shouted at the unconscious man. "But why did you use 'the three lords." Ace pondered the term until he remembered something.

Once he had read in a book when he was still living in the castle that their were three people who standing together could be a formidable opponent to the Old and New World kingdoms. The three lords were men who had created cities near the shore lines or in one lord's case the middle of Grand Line.

Each lord had built a city in one of the three places having a landmark made. When time progressed and people actually wandered Grand Line they usually found one of the three cities and used it as a place to stay. Thus now the three cities have been well known.

However there were three cities. Three cities Ace would have to investigate personally.

Well the start of a journey isn't always easy.


Barely into the night the Straw hat pirate crew had been summoned by Prince Luffy most assumed this would be bad while others good. So there in the dining room was the entire crew except the captain who was opening the tall oak doors. Each head studied Luffy as he walked over to the head of the table, promptly sitting down.

A silence quickly filled the room as Luffy hesitated on what he wanted to say, "Well... to start I want to apologize to my nakama for acting like such an ass. I was trying to decipher the situation and flipped out about it. I ask for your forgiveness and that we may be able to resume the way we were before the news."

Everyone, but Luffy and Hancock sighed, then smiled. Many mumbles of complying were said as the crew gradually brightened up. When the atmosphere had reached the way it almost always was oak doors flew open too see that Sanji had cooks bringing food in.

Luffy yelled, "FOOD!". He greatly resisted the urge to stuff everything into his mouth until the servants left.

However once they did leave, Sanji still stopped Luffy from eating. "Minna, might as well serve before Luffy has the chance to." With the some giggles and laughs erupted from the crew's mouths as they took their sweet time teasing the prince and captain.

If it were possible, Luffy would be bawling his eyes out as he fought Sanji though this time he was patient until Zoro got the best of ideas.
"Hmmm... smell that, Luffy! Doesn't it smell good?" he clearly said loud enough for only the captain to hear. He was sticking a plate of pork chops, mashed potatoes and gravy, and the rest became a blur as Luffy was entranced with the food.

He was goddamn hungry and pissed off at Zoro, but was happy he restored the peace and bonds with his crew.

Akott whispers,

"Gomen! I was late 'cause school work caught me and I was stuck on the fight scene. I really wanted to post this sooner, but alas I was even more busy. So as I stated earlier the moves that were in the fight scene were the moves I usually use in Tae Kwon Do. If you are confused GO SEARCH IT! Also hope I made some of the characters little OC-ish and more like in the anime. I try my best you know."

P.S.

I need your opinion for a story. The powers of the main character are challenging to decide on. In other words I CAN NOT CHOOSE! . Oh at its for a Bleach story FYI.

So here are my ideas

Uses Sound: you should get the picture by that

Manipulates light: uses illusions to fight and temporarily blinds opponent

Harness Wind: basically just controls it to slash along with sword

Controls Leaves: kinda like Byakuya's bankai, but with leaves and better powers

That's all I have and I would adore it if you would give me so more ideas! I'll consider each one. You won't get a prize, but you'll get your own chapter dedicated to you! I know its a bad prize, but that's all I can give at the moment.

I'll stop blabbing, didn't mean to do that. Bye-bye!
