Leading a double life is never easy. With friends in the slums and a family of nobility, Luffy hides his lineage to keep up the guise that he's a resident of Low Town, hoping to one day find a boy from his past and repay him for what he did all those years ago. But Whitebeard, the largest underground power around, is searching for him. And Sabo, his brother, wants to know why.

Sabo is a famous novelist working on the latest instalment in his series of books called One Piece. However, when he kills off one of his characters - Portgas D. Ace - he is surprised to find said character came to life in his living room. And the headache ensues. [A/U. Vague pairings.]

Ace is tired. There's spilt milk in the kitchen, he has Writer's Block, and his little brother chooses now to come knocking on his door. About that? Ace doesn't have a little brother. So just who is this kid?
