So I've created a new story, it's a modern mafia A/B/O idea. It's a MarcoxAce with multiple other ships. It can be a bit dark at times though, so I high recommend looking at the warnings I've listed to see if it's suitable to read. Ace is an Omega, and Marco is an Alpha :)

Anyway hope you all had a Happy New Year! Hopefully 2021 will be a lot better than 2020 :)


(Toy AU)

It was a relief to rejoin Luffy. Ace still wasn't eating or sleeping properly, so Sabo really hoped that their livelier brother could help distract Ace enough to get him into the proper swing of things. Luffy was already partying on the kinda creepy ship. He didn't like seeing his brother's face on someone's ship, it was freaking him out.

It was like Bartolomew was going to kidnap Luffy or something.

Speaking of the weird green guy, he was sitting with Ace, telling him all about Luffy's adventures. Luffy was sat against his side, gulping down food, and even surprisingly, pointing out what food Ace should try next, even passing him the plates.

Ace was so enthralled with the stories that he was eating without realising it.

It was a good sign, though Sabo would need to keep an eye on him. He didn't want Ace to be sick. That would waste all that time and effort.

It took hour for Bartolomew to finish, and Ace looked delighted.

"You've gotten so much stronger, Luffy!" Ace grinned, ruffling Luffy's hair.

"Yeah!" Luffy beamed. "I could beat you now too!"

"Your haki's a lot stronger than mine, so I actually think you could," Ace admitted, grimacing. "I'm supposed to be the strong older brother, and yet my little brothers are both stronger than me."

"Shishishishi, we got more training time. I bet you'll catch up once you start training again," Luffy said.

Sabo smirked. "Luffy, Ace is forgetting that he's only eighteen right now. We're now the older brothers."

Ace flushed. "Stop telling him that!"

Luffy beamed. "That means we protect you!"

Ace squawked when Luffy's arms wrapped round him multiple times, pinning him in place. Ace tried to turn to fire to escape, but Luffy's arms immediately turned dark with haki, keeping their now baby brother pinned. Sabo chuckled, reaching over to ruffle Ace's hair, who pouted.

"You better get used to it, Ace. We get to smother you in attention," Sabo teased.

"You both suck!"

There was a bit of squirming, but Luffy kept his hold on Ace, grinning widely as he snuggled their baby brother's side. Ace gave up after a while, groaning in despair, and finally enjoyed the hug.

Ace fell asleep not even ten minutes later.

Sabo finished taking his note of how much Ace ate. About half the amount he should have normally been able to handle at his age. That was better than before though, so hopefully his appetite was now worked up.

.::.

"I have looked through all my resources and finally I have begun to discover the awesomeness that is Ace-sama!" Bartolomeo gushed.

"Wait, when did I become a master?" Ace blinked.

He had slept for a few hours, and he hadn't tossed or turned even once. Ace had been calm and relaxed, even when Luffy handed him over so he could go party some more. Sabo had let Ace rest against him while he had worked on some reports, which were sat aside once more. He wanted to give Ace his full attention, considering how much time Sabo had lost with him.

Sabo kept his arm around Ace's shoulders, enjoying the heat his now baby brother gave off, and the idea of Ace being the baby brother made him want to cackle. He'd probably get punched for it, but worth it.

Having his arm around Ace also served to keep him close, Ace who looked baffled and unsure what to do with this strange unconditional love Bartolomeo kept showing them, all because they were Luffy's brothers.

"You're amazing! You were the Captain of the Spade Pirates, you had so many big fights like against the marine 'Nailing Isuka' and then Vice Admiral Draw! You even got asked to join the Warlords at seventeen years old," Bartolomew squealed, delighted. "You even fought 'Knight of the Sea' Jinbei!"

"How did you find out about all that so quickly?" Ace complained, but his cheeks were red. "Honestly, those fights weren't that big of a deal-"

"You fought Jinbei?!" Luffy cried.

"Wait, you know Jinbei?" Ace blinked.

"I met him during Marineford. He's awesome!" Luffy grinned. "I'm gonna recruit him, but anyway, you nearly became a Warlord?"

"I refused it obviously," Ace pointed out.

"They never tried to recruit me," Luffy pouted.

"Considering you're a bigger troublemaker than I am and your crew is about as crazy as you I can see why they didn't," Ace chuckled. "Besides, it was probably Gramps trying to turn me into a Marine-"

"Or they thought you were strong and wanted that strength backing them up," Sabo cut in, tugging Ace's hair, earning a grimace. "Face it, you're just as much of a troublemaker as Luffy is after all."

"I am not," Ace huffed. "I kept Luffy in check... Somewhat..."

Sabo snorted, but conceded. "I must have been a hard job."

"Tell me about it! The amount of times I had to fish him out of animal's stomachs was unbelievable. Now you're making him out to be the big brother despite my attempts at keeping him alive."

"Sorry, sorry," Sabo laughed. "But it's true-"

"No! No it's not. I may be eighteen years old in body, but in spirit I'm the same age as you."

"It's too late, Ace. We've both already got the idea in our heads," Sabo smirked. "Luffy! Is Ace your big brother or baby brother?"

"He used to be my big brother, but now I'm older! Shishishishi!"

"No! Luffy, don't listen to him! I'm the better big brother!"

"You're the best little brother," Luffy laughed.

Ace groaned. "Sabo, you're the worst."

"Good to know I can still torment you, even after all these years," Sabo grinned, petting Ace's hair.

After all, what kind of big brother would he be if he couldn't torment his baby brothers? He had a duty of care, protection and tormenting, and Sabo aimed the get all of those perfect, now that he had a chance to do so once again.
