Ace was a happy boy, he lived with his mom and twin brother Sabo. Every month his father would come back to balteria from his travels as a pirate to spend time with them. His father was the best father ever in his eyes. He would play with them and take care of mom as the queen she is. The only bad side was when he left. He hated to see his father leave, but at the end of the day he knew he would come back...
He always comes back right?
One day he didn't..
He waited and waited but he never came back.
"Mom is having a Baby?!"
Ace and Sabo were so excited for it they could barely keep quiet about it "She is! Your two are gonna be big brothers!"
Big brothers...them.
"Ace protect your Mom and brothers for me" his father said to him one day. He promised his dad to do it. He was the big brother after all. What type of big brother would he be if he didn't protect his family?
"Mom you're sure you don't want to come with us?" Their mom hasn't left the house for months now. They started to get worried about it. "Don't worry my child i am fine. You and your brother should go and be kids" be kids she says, but how can they, when their mother was suffering?
"Ace can you go for this month's supplies?"
She asked him again...and he did.
"Mom i made some money for us"
"Mom Ace is lying he stole again!"
"SHUT UP SABO!!!" Their mom would laugh at their antics once again before punishing Ace for stealing. But why couldn't she see he was doing this for them?! They were going low on money and their father hadn't come back for them...so Ace needed to do something..he promised.
"It has been 6 months. And dad hasn't come why?!!!!" Ace was starting to think that maybe his father abandoned them. But deep inside he wanted to believe everything was a big cruel joke ¿right?.
-GOLD ROGER IS EXECUTED FOR HIS CRIMES-
It was all over the news. Her mother couldn't stop looking towards the sea after that. He was mad at his father. Why did he give himself up?! Why did he leave them?!
"Why? Why did he leave us?!!!!" Ace screamed at his mother for the first and last time. Her mother hugged Ace tight for an hour straight until she opened her mouth "Ace heard me out closely. Your dad loves us and you should never question his love no matter who says the contrary. You see your father was sick.." Ace eyes went wide open. Sabo was behind the door listing the whole thing when he revealed himself from the shock. "You're joking right?..." Sabo started saying. "I am not. Your father knew really well that he didn't have much left so he tried coming as many times as he could but -...not even a man like your dad can escape dead. He told me from den den mushi he was given himself up because his time was ending and he didn't want to leave this world quietly. Your father was never a man that leaves without leaving his mark on the world does he?" They cried like they never did.
Their whole world was falling apart
"No! Please have mercy she's my wife?!"
The marines were all over Baltiria because of the rumor of the Pirate king having a child. So they were forcing women to abort their kids or they killed the kid after being born. This event was known as the big Baltiria slaughter. Fortunately for Ace and his family here mother has been staying in the house for months now. Nobody knew about her pregnancy and she didn't have to hide it in the house. Things would be going smoothly if they didn't need money right now. After some discussions with his brother he ended up supporting his let's steal idea and keep this a secret from mom.
10 months through his pregnancy and her mom was still keeping their baby brother inside without caring about her self. All because she didn't want her baby to be killed...al because he cared about him too much.
20 months through and their mother was now on a hospital bed giving birth to their baby brother. They fell asleep before they could receive the news of their brother's birth.
When the brothers woke up they saw a man. A big scary man with something or maybe someone in his arms "Ace and Sabo right? I am Garp. Their father put them on my care before he died. You can say i am an old friend of his..." They didn't need this friend of his dad right now, they wanted their mom! "Sir. Garp what are you doing here with the baby?!!! We still need to put his vaccines on!!! " A nurse came running up towards us "Lady do you know if we can see our mom?" Sabo asked and the nurse went pale as snow "You haven't told them yet?" Told them what? "Kids i am sorry to say this but your mom passed away giving birth to your new brother" if they thought their world couldn't have shattered itself more, they were wrong...
So wrong.
