Hello everyone, here is another one shot
This is a possible scene from chapter 10, all the way back to the start before Ace joined the pirates and things just really took off. This is from where Ace was kidnapped by the marines and he thought if the pirates didn't show before 24 more hours had passed, he would need to do some drastic measures. Well, this is that drastic measure
Hope you enjoy
Read and relax
Sabo walked and hoped they would find someone who could help them, they had to have someone here that could contact either Shanks or Whitebeard, that was why Ace sent them here. "Oy! Sabo! Luffy!" Sabo blinked, turning to his left and seeing someone he really hadn't expected to. "Trevor? Why are you here?" The silver-haired man gave a dumb look to him, like he grew another head, moving a hand to lower his mask, obviously working. "Me? My work is traveling. Why you are here is the actual question. Like what are you doing here? Ace was due home today, so this doesn't fit." Sabo swallowed, giving a look to Luffy, who was looking at the birds and animals running and flying around, making so Sabo hoped he wouldn't hear. "I don't know, marines came to the island and Ace sent us here. ...Ace looked tired, and Dust is almost unconscious."
When he said the last part, he moved the cloth away so Trevor could see Dust, who gave a small caw as he saw Trevor, the silver-haired man moving to pet the bird. "Well, hello Dust. Tired from the work? You had hellish days." The bird nodded, before it moved to rest his head again, Trevor giving a chuckle. "Relax, Sab. If Ace was injured, Dust wouldn't be like this. He's just in some seastone chains. They both have had hellish days, actually a week, so no wonder they are tired. And you know Ace, you can't control him, he will be fine." Sabo sighed as he tried to calm down. He knew Trevor knew Ace better in some parts, and this was it, they had seen Ace in more bad situations that anyone had.
"Okay. But still… We're here, and he gave us the bag with the mark to both Shanks and Whitebeard, I think he wants us to go to them." Trevor snorted. "'Course he does; better with them than some marines. I had almost forgotten you got acquainted with the Whitebeards, and it's most likely them. Shanks is way away, it will take him at least 4 weeks to get here. Whitebeard are just a day or two away." That made sense. "I'm still worried for Ace, though." Trevor hummed. "No worries. He's fine, or will be fine. I am actually heading to the mayor here, he probably knows how to contact Whitebeard; it's his island. Also, knowing what I have heard about that crew, when you mention Ace got to some trouble, they will probably charge to get him." Sabo blinked. "You know where he is?" Trevor shrugged. "Meh, no. But, I know Ace will manage to tell where he is with Dust; marines don't really have strong seastone like that." Sabo nodded, that was good.
"Okay. Will you join us?" He had a feeling Trevor would. Trevor snorted. "Of course I am. Not only since you look like a kicked puppy, but because Ace will murder me if I left." Sabo chuckled. He liked Trevor, he always managed to brighten the mood. Trevor clapped him on his back. "Breathe and relax. Let's head to Max, the mayor, he can probably help. And Ace is fine, so don't worry." Sabo nodded, going to try and relax. Trevor then looked over at Luffy. "My kid! We're gonna go meet a real cool man here, that's the mayor!" Luffy gave an excited smile. "We are?! I've never met a mayor!" Sabo chuckled, glad to see Luffy in good spirits.
He then looked at Trevor, who took his mask off entirely. "Is it okay to take it off?" Trevor hummed, before he nodded. "Yeh, I worked a lot with Max, he has had some real bad rebels and bad people here, so he knows who I am. It's mostly for show now, honestly." That was good to know, probably one of the reasons Ace chose this place too, as he knew this Max was nice. "What about Ace? He worked here much?" Trevor gave a small shrug. "A bit, but they usually use me, as Ace is a bit more of a 'danger' than me. You know, the Ace of Spades to just speak with some rebels? Doesn't sit right." That made sense and Sabo nodded, before they headed towards the town, most likely heading to the mayor's house or office.
When they got to a building, seeming to be the mayor's office, Trevor gave a small motion to a secretary, before they just walked into a room, Sabo just following, hearing the woman by the desk moving to say something on a Den Den thing, probably to the mayor. When they got into the room, Trevor moved his arms out. "Max! You need to relax more; they weren't dangerous, just noisy." The man who sat there blinked. "Okay, that's fine." Before the man looked at him and Luffy. "Who is this? A part of the gang? Or something?" Trevor shook his head. "Nah, they're with me. Friends, their older brother has met some issues, so he sent them here to be safe. I think he would like them to be with the Whitebeards; they're acquaintances." Max blinked. "How did he send them here? I hope the issues aren't on this island." Trevor shook his head. "Nope. He has means to sort of teleport, and sent them here when their island was attacked; they're wanted by the marines. He cares for his brothers and wants them to be safe."
Max nodded. "Of course, I can call them. Is this brother someone I know." Trevor had a thoughtful look, making Sabo think Max didn't know Ace was an assassin, or Ace of Spades just a kid. "I have a feeling you will connect it when I say his name; you're a smart man. Their brother is Ace." Max blinked, before he looked shocked. "Wow, yeah. Ace of Spades has brothers? How do they know the Whitebeards?" Sabo chuckled, deciding to answer this. "We had some other issues before, and also fled while he was out, and the Whitebeards showed up and took us home, and Ace came halfway and joined us, making them sort of acquaintances, and I know Ace trusts them; we do too. They were nice to us." Max nodded. "Sounds right, they are nice. Let me get my Den Den and we can call."
Trevor chuckled. "I thought you would be more shocked by this. Most are when they find out Ace has an actual life outside work." Max chuckled. "More along the lines that he has brothers, and that he might be a bit younger than I thought, seeing those two's age." Trevor laughed. "Yeah. He's young." Max gave a curious look. "I guess 35?" Trevor snorted, before he gave a small look. "I am telling you this knowing I trust you and that you won't spill or tell. He's actually just 19." Max blinked. "That I didn't expect. I'm glad you trust me with that. I always thought he was old since he is so experienced, seeing as he's so good and terrifying." Trevor chuckled. "Yeah, but he's been doing this for over a decade, and he's a natural. I know you don't want to call him much, but he's really nice outside work." Max nodded. "I will keep it in mind. If Whitebeard trusts him- he rarely lets strangers on his boat- he must be nice. I will get my secretary to fetch a den den." Sabo smiled. "I would appreciate it. We're not really sure what to do." Max smiled. "I'm sure, with Trevor helping, things will go fine. And Whitebeard is good at helping and supporting, so your brother will be fine." That he knew. As Max got a Den Den, he called the Whitebeard, telling they were here and they needed help to get Ace, who was in some trouble. As Max was speaking, Sabo moved to look at Dust, blinking when there was no response from the bird. He had fallen unconscious.
It had Sabo feel tears come to his eyes, scared for Ace. Trevor moved over to him, taking the bird from his hands and placing him on a table, before Trevor hugged him. "No, Ace is fine. He's just tired. Okay? Don't cry." Sabo nodded, bringing a hand to his eyes to dry them, looking over to Luffy who was speaking with Whitebeard, not having noticed Sabo had tears in his eyes, which was good. He didn't want to worry Luffy more. He then heard Whitebeard set their course to them, which had him breathe out relieved. That was good. He did hear they didn't have the favor of the wind, so it might take half a day extra to get to them. It was fine, as long as they got some help to get Ace, they needed it. Sabo was just glad Trevor was here too. His presence really helped. He was as calm as usual, which was great. Sabo had always liked Trevor, he had been there for him as well, and Sabo really appreciated it.
They then stayed with Max until the pirates came, and everytime Sabo felt worried, Trevor would come and comfort him, telling him it would be fine and not be too worried, Ace was fine. Sabo still felt really relieved when the pirates came later. Dust was still unconscious, but as they were traveling, Dust woke up once, and he was set on the table with the world map and moved over to peck on an island, making Trevor say Ace was there and they should head there, which they did. Dust did quickly fall unconscious again, but he had been able to tell where Ace was, that was everything. Now they just needed to hurry to find Ace.
-x-
At times, Ace really hated people, especially noisy ones like the marines. They had apparently gotten whiff of the fact he had a devil fruit, and as if the damn spike chains wasn't enough, they had apparently come up with a new thing; molding a seastone bracelet on your wrist. As in, taking the hot melted seastone and pouring it over your wrist, making it sit perfectly against your skin and no way to get it off. It wasn't the strongest kind of seastone, but it did what it was supposed to do, and removing it would be near impossible, Ace was sure of it. And he needed to get a plan going.
He had hoped the pirates might make it, but no, didn't seem like it, so Ace needed to figure it out himself, as usual. If the marines decided to be a pain, Ace would make sure to be worse back. He just needed a way out of these stupid chains. If he could do that, he could handle the marines, and then focus on the molded bracelet. It wasn't as strong seastone as the chains, so he could easily go with that and put on a hell of a fight. He just needed to fool the marines to just let him have a bit more chain, so he could try and gather his strength. After all, a devil fruit user in seastone wasn't dangerous, especially since even if he got out of the chains, he still had the bracelet. So why would they think Ace was any danger, he was just a random kid with an infamous father. Ace had a feeling this would go just perfect, and the usual play of 'I'm weak and dying' would most likely work. He wasn't worth as much dead. So, as Ace has done many times in his life, he took a breath and fell limp in the chains, doing his best to ignore the pain and play dying until he was given more chains so he could break out of them.
It was the next day, after pretending he was dying, that he was given extra chains. There was still a guard in with him, but he was often faced the other way, making it so Ace could pick the locks, before sneaking up on the guard, choking him until he died. Now he just needed to deal with everyone else. His wrists and feet still hurt from the chains, but he could manage. He then searched around the small room, finding a few weapons he could use, which was a sword, gun, and spear, Ace taking all three, fastening the gun at his side, having it in case. He could manage without it at the start. Ace then took a deep breath, before he opened the door, using the sword to slash down the first he saw, a second man yelling out and getting everyone's attention.
Well then, Ace just needed to survive this, which would be easy. The marines weren't that strong of fighters, at least not many strong ones here anymore, since he wasn't dangerous in seastone chains. As all attention was at him, everyone charged, and Ace got himself ready. He might not have his powers with him, but Ace was still hell to deal with it, at least when he was mad and annoyed. Ace then readied his sword, before he went lose on the marines, He cut down marine after marine, not holding back. He might not have been able to rest well the last few days, but he had rested somewhat, so he could go on for a bit.
When he had cut down the marines that were close to him, he used the spear to throw at someone a bit away, before he went on slashing at the marines, slashing usually the head off, decapitating them, making blood flow on the beach. He then moved to the next marine, stabbing him with the sword as he was much taller than Ace, before Ace moved the blade downwards, slicing half his body in half, making him fall down, soon dead anyhow, before Ace moved on to the next, seeming to be a marine admiral. There was some dancing, the man actually knowing how to wield a sword, before Ace managed to cut his arm off, the one who held the sword, before Ace decapitated him, before kicking him away to make space for the next one.
As he was battling the next guy, he heard a gunshot behind him, before he felt a bullet hit his shoulder, making him groan out. As Ace cut down the one he was fighting against, he moved to grab his gun, shooting the one who had shot him, his bullet going through the man's head, making him fall down dead. And that was how it was for the next hours, Ace fighting everyone on the beach, being around 4 admirals and a handful of captains.
When he was done, he was out of breath and moved to lie down on the beach, to try and gather his breath. He still needed to deal with the seastone bracelet he had, but he would wait and see if the pirates would make it here before the trade-off began, which would be in a day, having overheard it when he was chained. He would wait half a day and see what happened. He could see a large boat in the distance, and it might be the moby dick, and it would be here in some hours, and he hoped he was right.
-x-
Whitebeard was glad they could see the island in the distance, they were soon there, just some hours away. He couldn't dock at it, but they could send a smaller boat over to it, filled with some of his best fighters. The captain couldn't join it, the boat not being big enough. But when they were closer, Thatch moved to look at the island through a telescope, to see how many they would need to fight. But when he looked at the island, it was clear something was wrong as Thatch froze, making the captain speak up. "What is it, Thatch?" The chef blinked, looking horrified as he let the telescope down, swallowing. "The shore, it's literally covered in blood." Whitebeard blinked. That didn't sound good at all.
"Oh!" Said the new traveler with them, Trevor, moving to grab the telescope. "Let me look!" As the silver-haired man looked, he gave a small gasp. "This is going to be fun. Blood everywhere, a few bodies here and there, a few heads bobbing the sea. Yeah, Imma love this." Whitebeard wasn't really sure what to think. "Aren't you worried?" Trevor shook his head as he moved the telescope down. "Nope. You can't capture Ace, that doesn't go fine for those who do. He's going to be so pissed, though. He gets annoyed easily." Whitebeard blinked. "So Ace did it?" Trevor nodded. "He did. Capturing Ace is hard, but keeping him captured is harder. Ace is fine." Whitebeard blinked, hoping Trevor was right. When they were closer, they sent a boat to the island, being only commanders and Trevor. Trevor must be an amazing fighter, as he was an assassin too, he had said.
-x-
Marco felt worried when he saw the bloodbath of an island. It was covered in blood and bodies. When they got to the island, Thatch spoke. "What happened here?" Trevor chuckled. "As I said, Ace happened. We just need to find him. Ace! Yoohoo! Where are you!" As Trevor had spoken, a body sat up a bit away. "Trevor? Why are you here?" Trevor chuckled at Ace, heading over. "I think you should say; Thank you, Trevor, for coming and getting me."
Ace rolled his eyes, moving to stand up and met Trevor halfway, the latter speaking. "So, why're you still here." Ace sighed. "Seastone bracelet." Trevor lifted an eyebrow. "Just pick it." Ace moved his hand to show it to Trevor. "No, look. They actually poured melted seastone over my wrist; it's stuck, probably even melted to my skin." Trevor gave a whistle, moving to check it out. "Wow, that's a new one. Doesn't work as well as you could still do a massacre." As Trevor looked at it, Izou took a step forward. "Is it possible to pick it?" Both assassins turned to look at the crossdresser, Trevor lifting an eyebrow. "Didn't you listen? They poured it hot over, it ain't anything you can pick; it's molded on the wrist." Trevor then moved the hand a bit up, checking the wrist. "It also seem you were right; it's melted into your skin." Ace nodded. "I thought so. I think the best would be just cut it off."
All of them blinked. "Cut it off, yoi?" Started Marco, not sure if that would be safe. "Seastone is hard to cut." Ace shook his head. "Oh, no, not the seastone, my arm. I'm just not sure to cut above or beneath my wrist." They all blinked. Ace said what? Trevor hummed. "Above, try and avoid the joint, that can make it worse, especially as you have loose joints. May I?" Izou moved his hands up. "Woah woah! No! Cut your hand off!? That's not smart!" Trevor just gave a small wave to them as Ace gave a shrug. "Sure. I can't get a good angle." Marco took a small step forward. "I'm sure bay can do something, yoi. Safer than-!" Marco cut off as he could only stare shocked as Trevor had gotten a knife out and just sliced Ace's hand off, holding Ace's capitated arm as he placed his dagger away and moved to pull the seastone part off, ripping the skin a bit, before handing the hand back to Ace. "Here you go, almost as good as new." Ace chuckled as he took the hand, placing it on the open flesh wound on his hand, like putting two puzzle pieces together. Thatch moved his arms to his head. "No! why the hell did you do that! you can't just put it back on like nothing!" Marco was just about to move and get Ace to the infirmary, when Ace shrugged, one hand holding around the wrist as the other hand suddenly started to move the fingers, before Ace moved his hand away as he moved his wrist around, as if stiff. "I'm going to feel this tomorrow."
Marco just stood shocked, losing his voice for a second, as everyone did, Thatch recovering first. "The fuck!? How the hell did you do that?! How can you just attach body parts?!" Ace shrugged. "Perks of being me." Okay, Marco was sure they wouldn't get more than that. "How did you get loose, yoi?" Ace chuckled. "Did the usual 'I'm weak and dying!' play. I'm worth more alive, and I'm just a harmless 19 year old, so no harm in letting me rest out of the chains." Trevor snorted. "Harmless my ass." Ace shrugged. "Eh, it works. Not my fault they suck. I think about 5 boats are coming here, maybe a day or two away, trade off." Trevor looked at Ace. "Oooh, how much are you worth?" Ace chuckled. "4 billion." Trevor blinked. "Damn, really? Just because Roger was your dad?" Ace nodded. "Yeah. That makes me dangerous apparently. So they need to kill me before I go rogue." Trevor laughed. "11 years too late!" Ace chuckled. "I think it's more like 15 years too late. That's when I wanted to be a pirate."
Trevor chuckled, and Ace shook his head a bit with a smile, before looking at Trevor. "Why're you here? Shouldn't you be working?" The silver-haired man snorted. "Yeah. I was supposed to see Luffy and Sabo all scared and looking like kicked puppies and just leave them alone to wail in their worry. Yeah, if I did that, I would be so dead. You are so overprotective." Ace rolled his eyes, making Trevor gasp. "Did you just roll your eyes on me?!" Ace snorted as he started to walk towards the boat. "What if I did?" Trevor gave an annoyed look. "Stop being a brat!" Ace just waved his hand at Trevor as he walked, Trevor starting to move after him, the two going into a bicker, leaving the pirates to stand shocked, Marco no idea what to think, even less how to react.
When they got to the boat, Trevor followed Ace to the infirmary, where Ace needed to be as he was injured. His legs and arms seemed the worst. When Ace woke up the next day, falling asleep quickly as he was probably tired, he sent Trevor on with Dust, the three brothers deciding to stay behind for a few days while Ace healed, which was good. He liked the three brothers, they were nice company.
