Hey, long time no see. I'm on vacation in Australia, so I won't update much, sorry... But here is another Chapter, I hope you like it :)

I will live a life without regrets
It was not his fault for being born with such dirty blood. It was not his fault! That was what he told himself. He didn't care for his father, he would not care, but at the same time, if didn't want anyone to talk bad about him. If they did, he would beat them up, he did not know why, but it was something he needed to do.
After some incidents, he was transferred to another house, a house of bandits. He did not care, whom he lived with, as long as they would leave him alone. Time went by and he met another boy, who shared his dream of becoming a pirate, who was free to do whatever he wanted.
Three years came and went and then suddenly one day, another one arrived, an annoying one, but as time passed and things happened, he was now a part of his life. They became brothers, all three of them and neither of them had ever felt such a strong bond in their entire life. They shared everything and they held no secrets for one another.
Then they lost one, the older one. The younger one cried, but he did not, there was no need to feel sorry for himself, it was more important to take care of the young one. Seven years passed, where he had trained and cared for his little brother, but now was time to leave that was the promise made between the three of them.
He left, gathered a crew and went to the dangerous sea known as Grand Line. He sought two people, the pirate with red hair and the strongest with white hair. First he found the red-haired. Then he found the white-haired, but nothing went down as planned. He now stood without a crew, on the ship of his enemy, but you cannot live with good people without learning to love and care for them. He proudly received the mark on his back and climbed the ranks of the ship.
A few more years and then it happened. One of their own killed a crew mate and fleet the ship. He went out to find him. He met his brother and gave him the paper of his life. He found the traitor and lost. He walked the stairs of death and knelt at execution platform, ready to receive his punishment, but of course they had to come. Why? All they did was getting themselves killed.
They couldn't save him, but his brother could. He arrived at the platform with the help of the people around him and freed him, but not long went on before it was all in vain, because what is an older brother if he cannot protect his younger brother? Nothing, that's right. As he stepped in to take the blow, he felt his life was complete. This was the ultimate death, the one where you are not defeated, but welcome death to save another.
I only have one regret, Luffy, that I couldn't see you fulfil your dream. And as Ace felt his last strength flow out of him, he smiled, because he had lived a life in which he had fulfilled his own dream.
