Not many people knew this but Monkey D. Luffy and Portgas D. Ace were in fact brothers. Not true brothers through blood for Portgas D. Ace was the son of the late pirate king Gol D. Roger and Luffy was the son of the revolutionary leader Monkey D. Dragon. But they were brothers which is why Portgas D. Ace was now raving mad at his little brother for having broken into Impel Down to save him for in his mind he was the one who was supposed to protect and save, not Luffy, never Luffy. Luffy should never have to put his life on the line for him. His rage was also fueled by the fact that while his little brother broke into Impel Down and came out alive and with the additional help of some of the most dangerous and 'evil' pirates to sail the Grand Line, his little brothers break in was ill founded for he had been moved to Loguetown for his execution. So you can see why he was angry.
The thoughts that went through the commander of the second division of the White Beard Pirates ranged a bit following his different emotions to this eye-opener of the situation at hand. The very first thing to drift through the ensnared mans head was the very wonderful thought –well at least to him- was to beat his idiot little brothers head in for trying something so dangerous and reckless. With this thought was anger and burning rage at his brother's actions. Because he was the older brother, he was supposed to protect Luffy. He was supposed to help his little brother out of the messes he made for himself not the other way around.
The second thought that went through the captured fire users mind was that Luffy his little brother had broken into the prison that no one had ever broken out of for him and that his little brother was now coming to Loguetown to save him from being killed. That it was his fault that Luffy had gone into that hellhole and that it was his fault that Luffy was coming to Loguetown where a certain marine captain named Smoker that had made it his goal to catch his little brother resided in. With that revelation guilt ran unchecked through him for it was his fault that Luffy was doing all these stupid things. It was his fault if Luffy got hurt or worse got himself killed.
But those thoughts were quickly dissipated because Luffy was ok and not dead, and he was standing in front of him with that same childish grin he always bore and his nakama flanking him. "Hey Ace! Why are you here? You could have beaten these guys easily!" He returned his brothers grin because his little brother was here and he was unhurt. He was elated his little brother was ok. His little brother was here. His little brother was here for him……His little brother was staring at him now. He faintly heard one of his brother's nakama comment on the fact that he had sea stone cuffs on and that he was probably completely drained.
But he only faintly heard it because he had looked into his little brothers eyes and was now captivated. Different emotions flicked through his brothers ever expressive eyes the first one he could identify was worry, most likely caused by the condition he was in and the fact that he had spent so much time incarcerated. The next one he was able to pin was guilt. Why was Luffy feeling guilty? He had saved him, so why was his brother feeling this way? This was his fault so why was Luffy taking blame? When his eyes traveled to his brother's fisted hand he saw the biblicard that he had given to him. Ah, now he understood, the card was almost completely gone. "It's not your fault Lu." At his words his brother's eyes flashed show casing confusion before they mellowed to an acceptance. But the guilt wasn't completely gone yet and Luffy wasn't at fault, he needed to show him that. "Really Lu, it's not your fault." His brother's smile was gone and so was his nakama when he looked around he saw them talking a ways away form them.
"But it is Ace. I should have come sooner."
"No Lu, you had no way of knowing."
"Bu-"
"No Luffy. It's not your fault."
His brothers eyes were staring at him now, they held a look that many probably would never dream could or would show in them. It was a calculating gaze that was looking him over and searching in his own eyes for any traces of a lie. As his nakama started to drift back he nodded before smiling once more. "Alright Ace, but let's go! I'm hungry!" His little brother was alright now. He smiled as Chopper looked him over while Luffy sat next to him eating the meat he had pulled out of his pocket. Yes, everything was alright now Luffy was safe, he was ok.
