Hope you enjoy
Read and relax
A 17 year old Ace opened an envelope, reading it over. He was surprised to see it was from Doflamingo Donquixote. Ace himself had never had any contact with the Donquixote brothers. But he knew Azuruko and Daisuke had. He remembers the younger of the two, Rosinante, having a truce and working with the Red Cloud, helping them out. He had been a marine spy for long, until he had gotten figured out. Had it not been for Azuruko, he would have been dead. His own brother would have killed him.
The note only said he wanted a meeting, nothing more. And it was only signed by Doflamingo, not Rosinante, meaning this would be a meeting between him and Doflamingo Donquixote. The man he had been told to be weary off by everyone. He was a man that thought he could take on everything, acting like the noble he was. He was a strong man, even harboring a devil fruit he had a great control on. Ace would accept the meeting, but he would be on his guard. He was always on guard when he was meeting someone he hadn't met with before. But he would be on extra guard against this man, he had a reputation on not being respectful or calm, always being hostile and thinking he could force everyone to do what he wanted, especially if things didn't go his way.
Ace wrote a quick reply, handing it to Dust, also telling the raven to be careful, really careful. Dust nodded and was off.

Ace stood ready, dressed in his assassin outfit, waiting for Dust to call. He had decided to take with him his gun, sword and a couple of daggers, all seastone. Had it been a meeting with Rosinante, he would have dropped bringing his sword. Taking his crossbow or bow instead. He liked that more, but it wouldn't do much on this meeting. A few seconds later, he heard Dust call and he disappeared.
When he landed, he was in a room, looking to be something like a throne room. Doflamingo was the leader of Dressrosa, the king actually. Doflamingo was sitting on his throne, the only one on the room aside from Ace. He was sitting relaxed, leaning on his arm that was propped on the armrest, legs crossed, a menacing grin on his face. He was wearing a pair of sunglasses, making it so Ace couldn't see his eyes. But he was sure Doflamingo was looking down on him. not giving him the tiniest bit of respect.
Even before he had started, the man was already on thin ice.
Ace gave a small bow, ¨Doflamingo Donquixote, pleasure to meet you.¨ He said. His usual greeting. The man laughed, sounding almost condescending, making Ace frown a bit, he really was on thin ice. When Ace was back up, back straight, the man stopped laughing, the menacing grin staying. ¨Ace of Spades, how nice of you to show up.¨ Said Doflamingo, still sitting like he thought he was above Ace. Ace would hear what he wanted, if he didn't change his posture, there was no way Ace would do anything for this man. ¨What is it you would like to speak about, Donquixote?¨ He asked, looking at the man.
¨Nothing much.¨ Started Doflamingo, grin staying and condescending attitude staying. ¨I have heard about your work and could use someone like you. I would like if we could work as acquaintances.¨ Ace frowned a bit. That entire sentence was spoken in a way that more proved the man looked and spoke down to him. The man had made his own decision. To act, even speaking in a kind of manner that would be condescending, was something everyone knew not to do. They didn't need to treat them with the utter most respect. But no respect at all, even condescending, was something they should never do. Ace looked at him in the eyes, or where he believed his eyes was, the sunglasses being in the way.
¨I am declining your request to be acquaintances, Donquixote.¨ Said Ace, making Doflamingo frown.
¨Why would you do that? You do know who I am right?¨ Said Doflamingo, the grin coming back. The man really was full of himself. Ace looked at him, ¨I know exactly who you are. And I see no reason in accepting your request.¨ Said Ace, making the man look a bit mad. Ace was about to leave, not having any reason to stay. When he was the man's grin widening and his hand, the one that he wasn't leaning on, moved. ¨I must say, that is quite foolish of you.¨ The moment Ace saw an ever so small twitch in the man's fingers,
Ace had already his gun out and fired a shot, the bullet hitting an inch over the man's hand.
Ace looked at the man, eyes piercing directly on him. He could see some shock on his face, not realizing how fast he was. Ace's brows furrowed a bit, showing some of his anger. ¨You should not take me, or any of us, so lightly. The next shot, will not miss.¨ The menacing grin on his face came back full force. He did open his hand completely, showing he wasn't going to try that again. ¨Think how strong we could be. Together, we could rule the world.¨ Ace frowned as he now put the gun away, believing he would not need it. Doflamingo knowing he was faster. ¨I have no wish to rule the world, Donquixote.¨ Said Ace. The man laughed and moved to stand, his hands being the view the entire time.
The man moved towards Ace, taking long strides. The way he was walking, made Ace believe he was heading for the door behind him. Ace still stood ready, in case the man tried anything. ¨That is a pity. I believe I could have done great with you by my side, assassin.¨ Said the man, now being at his side, still walking. Ace didn't move, not needing to look at him to see what he was doing. Dust was overlooking everything from his place on top off a curtain rod. When the man was a step behind him, Dust told him he was grinning more and was on his way to turn around, hand moving to grab him.
Ace, in one swift movement, had grabbed his sword and sliced it at the man, slashing his chest.
The shock of not thinking he might be able to see through his attack, his back being turned, gave Ace enough time to trip the man, making him land on his back. The moment he was down, blood started to pool down from the wound, trickling down on his side to the floor. It wasn't a fatal wound, but it would leave a scar. Ace moved his sword, pointing at the man, his grin gone, looking like he was expecting to be killed. ¨This is the reason I will not be working with you, Donquixote. You believe you can order me around, even going as far as trying to attack, twice.¨ Ace moved his sword a bit down, seeing the man trying to hide the small backwards movement. ¨I should kill you.¨ He said, making Doflamingo swallow.
¨But,¨ Continued Ace, sword lowering back to his side. ¨The reason I will not, is because of your brother.¨ He could see the shock on Doflamingo's face. Ace had every right to take the man out. he had tried to attack him twice, treating him with disrespect. But Rosinante was a good man, holding his brother back. ¨But,¨ Said Ace, glaring at the man. ¨If you ever try anything like this again, either to me or any of the others. You will die.¨ When Doflamingo made no movement, Ace gave a frown. ¨Do you understand, Donquixote?¨ Doflamingo gave a nod.
Ace then put the sword away and gave a last look at the man. ¨Goodbye, Donquixote. Do not think of contacting me again.¨ Said Ace and disappeared.
When he reappeared, he was back on Boreumdo. Ace gave a sigh and made his way inside the house, Dust flying beside him. When he got inside, neither Luffy or Sabo was there. Probably being with Lindsey. Ace got to his room and wrote a quick note to Daisuke, telling him about the meeting and to keep his assassin away from the man. He also mentioned that if any of them worked with Rosinante, that they should mention to the man that his brother was on thin ice. That he could easily be taken out, going as far as to attack during a meeting.
They would still work with Rosinante, but seeing as they had a truce, they would warn him on how his brother was now on thin ice, really thin ice.
Ace sent the note, watching Dust fly off. Half an hour later, he got a reply back, telling him that Daisuke agreed and would keep his assassins away. That anything they heard from Doflamingo did, was going to be given to him. so he knew where the man stood. Ace put the note away and went to change clothes before he headed to the village. Deciding to be with his brothers for a bit.
And that's the chapter. Hope you enjoyed.
