I'M SO SORRY FOR THE LATE UPDATE. IT WAS HISTORY AND MATH EXAMS SEQUENTIAL I CAN'T. So,this chapter is full of OOC, and there's a ZoLu! I changed my mind about the staying with Luffy, but Ace will stay with Luffy for a moment in there. Enjoy!


Ace and Rose is walking hand in hand in the streets of Nanohana. Ace believes that Luffy is in the town, so he went looking for him.

"I'm hungry.." said Ace.

"You don't say." said Rose coldly. When exactly is the guy not hungry? He was just the same as his brother. Ace pouted cutely at Rose's words, making her laugh and then give him a small peck on his cheek.

"There's a restaurant. Let's go." said Rose pointing to a restaurant. Rose and Ace walked to the restaurant and Ace began to order foods.

"Are you gonna eat, Rose?" asks Ace.

"No, I'm going to buy us some new clothes. I'll be right back babe." She said and then walked out from the restaurant. Well, the true reason is that she don't want to be on the damn restaurant when Ace had his narcoleptic fit and being crushed by Smoker and all, so.. She'll be right back when Ace is fighting Smoker later saving his brother's crew. Rose walked in to a certain clothes store and choose some clothes that is easy to move in. when she's finished, she payed and walked out of the restaurant. She looked at the sky for the sign of Ace and Smoker's fight but she found nothing. She walked back to the direction of the restaurant but suddenly being grabbed and being placed on Ace's shoulder.

"Luffy is here! I want you to meet him!" Ace said while grinning and running. She just shrugged and then let Ace runs to the dock. Suddenly, Ace jumped and set himself on fire.

"KAGEROU!" he shouted and shot a fire to Smoker's direction. Not only Ace who shouted, Rose is screaming bloody murder and then used Haki that she learned from Marco to smack Ace in the head and leaped of his body.

"ARE YOU TRYING TO FUCKING KILL ME?!" she shouted and turn to look at Luffy's shocked face. "Go now! We'll meet later!" Luffy grinned and turn to run. Rose looked at Ace and pointed at Smoker in ordering manner, and she left to prepare Striker. Not long after she's arrived in the docks, an explosion is heard and Ace is running to her direction.

"Let's go meet my brother!" he said with a cheeky grin on his face.


"Just who can you beat?!" Ace said, jumping on the edge of the Going Merry with Rose.

"ACE!" said Luffy happily and jumped to hug Ace. "I'VE MISSED YOU!"

Ace laughed and return the hug."I've missed you too, you troublesome little brother!"

For a moment there, Luffy and Ace's closeness reminds her of a lot of AceLu fanfiction that she read a lot. Well, who to blame? AceLu is her favorite OTP. I mean, who doesn't love them? They're just hot, fucking hot. Even Luffy is actually handsome if he's being seen directly. More cuter and handsome than the anime or manga. She even nearly reached her pocket to take her iPhone to took a picture of them. But of course, she left them on Earth. She turned to look at the crew while Ace muttered about 'thanks for taking care of my brother' thing. Her gaze stopped at Zoro. He's. So. Freaking. Hot. Rose nearly screamed when she saw Zoro. He was her 3rd favorite character in the history. It was interrupted with the Baroque Works' billions that shows up. Ace offered himself to take care of the fleets. With a single 'Hiken', they were easily defeated.

"So, Ace, who is this girl you came with?" Luffy asks him. Ace put his arms around Rose, and told her to introduced herself. Rose smiled before talking.

"Hi guys, my name is Roxanne Blaze but you can call me Rose." all the crew's mouth formed an 'o' shape before Nami suddenly widened her eyes.

"You mean Rose, The Thorny 'Rose'? with 150 Million bounty?" she asked.

"Yes." she said smirking, feeling awesome. Everyone wow-ed, especially Sanji who is in the state of in love and making Rose laugh, making Ace glared into the man.

"But what is she doing here with you, Ace?" asks Luffy.

"Well, she's accompanying me searching the person I told you earlier and besides, she's my girlfriend." Ace said looking at Rose with a grin in his face.

"WOAH, really?" Luffy said with a hint of amazement in his eyes. "You tamed him?!" Ace smacked Luffy in the head, making Rose laughed so hard. They're currently already sitting in the deck with the crew.

"What about you, Luffy? You already like like certain someone?" asks Ace.

"Like like someone? Do you mean like Zoro?" He said innocently. Rose shaped an 'o' form and put her hand around her mouth in knowing manner. Zoro glared at Luffy, not because telling that they're together, but it's because the thing that will come from Ace.

"Huh?" asks Ace.

"You mean like you and Rose, right? Then it's true! Me and Zoro are together!" He said like it's the most obvious thing in the world. Rose is excited. Very excited. She looked at Ace who seems like taken aback from the statement.

"You're gay, Lu?" asks Ace suspiciously.

"What's a gay?" Luffy asked innocently.

"Uh.. Nevermind." says Ace before realizing something. "Wait, you were together with Zoro? Your first mate?"

"Yup!"

Ace stared at Luffy for a long time, before he turns to Zoro. He glared deathly at the man, and flame is formed in his shoulders. "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY BABY BROTHER YOU PEDOPHILE BASTARD?!"

Rose is already at laughing fit stage. This stuffs is actually happened. Ace is currently shouted something about castrating Zoro's body and all stuffs. Rose walks and put her hands on Ace's bicep and pull him back.

"Hey, if Luffy loves him, it should be okay, right? What's the matter, anyways? He will find someone in his life someday, but the guy is happened to be Zoro." Ace went silence for a minute before sighing in defeat.

"Fine. But if you hurt him, I'm going to come for you myself, you got that?" He said deathly.

"Yes, sir." says Zoro. Ace seems satisfied with the answer. Ace looked at Rose and gestured that they're leaving now.

"So, Luffy. I need to go now." He said to Luffy.

"Aaawee, this fast?" Luffy pouted cutely. Ace laughed and hugged him.

"Yes, Lu. I'm in a mission, remember?" he said ruffling Luffy's hair.

"But I want you to be with me longer.." said Luffy.

"Why don't you join Whitebeard?"

"Don't wanna." Ace laughed and then searches his vivre card in his pocket but he didn't find it. Rose sighed and then walked to Ace's bag and take out is vivre card. Ace grinned and muttered a 'thanks babe' small enough for Rose to hear.

"Here, I wanted to give this to you." he said giving his vivre card.

"Huh?"

"Always keep that with you!"

"It's a piece of paper.." Luffy said holding up the paper.

"Yup.. That paper will let us meet again.." said Ace.

"Wow.."

"Don't want it?"

"No! I do!" He said cutely. Ace laughed again.

"Having a dumb little brother, always make an older brother worry.." He said flicking his finger on Luffy's forehead and look at his brother's crew and smile politely. "Take care of him for me..". The crew gave him a nod, and Ace hugged Luffy once again and place a kiss on Luffy's forehead.

"We'll meet again later, Lu. The next time we meet, will be at the pirates' summit." He said and leaped off to the Striker with Rose. "Come to the top, Luffy! Take care, you silly little brother!"

"You too, Ace! Hey, Rose, take care of him for me!" said Luffy happily.

"Sure will do, Luffy!" said Rose and looked at Ace. "You ready?"

"Yeah, let's go." said Ace. "BYE, LU!"

"BYE, ACE!" shout Luffy waving at Ace. The Striker drove away with still waving Ace to his brother. Rose smiled and looked ahead, with only one thought in her head.

'next stop.. Banaro Island.'
