I'm really tempted to do letter J because I'm gonna be gone and without internet for four or five days. So no updates then but when I get back I'll upload all the chapters I've made and wasn't able to load.

FOA: I don't own one Piece.

Ace: Yep, she also doesn't own anything connected to One Pie-

FOA: Ace? Ace? *poke* he's sleeping. So.... Shhhh.

Inside

Portgas D. Ace was one of the few people his little brother Luffy ever really let in; yes the bouncy teen made many friends. Some of which became his nakama but his little brother only let a choice few into the inner workings that was what made Luffy, Luffy. Ace can count on one hand how many people his little brother had let completely in without any of his defenses up. Him and Shanks where the only ones that his little brother had ever truly let himself be seen, and Shanks only earned that privilege after saving him from the sea king.

Ace was sure that some of Luffy's nakama where close, they could almost see his brother for his true self. It took time to see Luffy for who he was that and Luffy being willing to open up to them. The people he thought that were closest to seeing his little brother for who he truly was would have to be Zoro, Chopper, and Robin.

All of them have different reasons Zoro because he was the first to join his brother and he had been there to see all of the stress and pain Luffy had gone though from trying to get stronger for his nakama, Chopper most likely for the reason that the small doctor was like a child still that wasn't quite able to comprehend why people would do such terrible things to others but he still had a certain depth to him that allowed him to understand things far beyond his years and Luffy probably recognized that trait in himself as well, and finally Robin; she was possibly the one of all of them who was closest to seeing Luffy truly because of her childhood and life, how she had to watch and understand a person to live, that trait she had adapted allowed her to uncover the truth about people.

So imagine Ace's surprise when he sees the one and only Eustass 'Captain' Kidd and his first mate Killer on the Thousand Sunny with Luffy and his crew laughing and acting like they belonged there. Ace could only blink rub his eyes stare then blink again. "Ne, Ace?" The leader of the second division of the Whitebeard Pirates toppled over with his brother onto the deck of the Thousand Sunny because of said brother's enthusiastic hug.

"Captain-san maybe you should get off Ace-san and explain to Kidd-san and Killer-san who Ace-san is before Kidd-san kills him." Ace turned with a bit of difficulty because of Luffy who was sitting on his stomach to look at the red head who was glaring daggers at him.

"Ah, yeah I guess I should huh? Alright Kidd, Killer this is Ace he's my aniki!" Ace smiled slightly when Kidd's glare transformed from his killing glare to a look of befuddlement, he could almost swear he heard a chuckle come from Killer who was looking at his captain.

Ace stared with a smile on his face throughout the day as his little brother dragged his…… Boyfriend with him to play with Usopp and Chopper, bug Zoro to wakefulness, beg Sanji for food, listen to Brook play Bink's Sake and other more traditional music, see Franky about his newest updates on the ship, talk to Nami, and Listen to Robin tell a story. Killer followed at his own pace usually just sitting and watching while talking to Robin. Ace would occasionally hear Luffy make a comment that seemed childish but held a deeper meaning to those who could see the truth and was surprised to see Kidd answer the deeper part of the comment. Was Kidd able to see the truth? And if he could then how long had he been able to? Luffy quickly shot off to the kitchen when Sanji announced that dinner was ready and that his sweet Nami-chwan and Robin-swan got to eat all they wanted before anyone else was allowed to touch anything.

When Kidd got up to follow Luffy Ace stopped him with a look that brought Kidd to him. "I probably don't have to tell you this Kidd, but if you're just using Luffy or if you hurt my little brother I will hunt you down and I will kill you. Got it?"

All this was said with a gentle smile adorning Ace's face. "Yeah, I've gotten the same speech from all of them-" Kidd's arm swept towards the Straw-Hats who were laughing at something Luffy had done. "-and Shanks."

"You've met Shanks?"

"Yeah, about a month ago, don't know how he found out but he did and he gave me the 'Don't you dare hurt Luffy or I'll track you down and kill you' speech. He even added an extra threat about how'd he soak me in sake then feed me to a hoard of sea kings."

"Hmm, just wanted to make sure you knew."

Kidd stared at Ace for a moment before going off to find Luffy. The pyromaniac heard a laugh come from his little brother and saw that the red head was standing next to Luffy by then with an arm wrapped around the laughing teen. Yes, it seemed that Luffy was letting Kidd inside; Ace could only hope that Kidd wouldn't abuse that privilege.
