This was a request from Firephoenixac.

Hope you enjoy

Read and relax.

Ace landed on Dawn and instantly walked into the bandit's hideout, to meet with Luffy and Sabo. Ace had been doing solo assignments for a few months now and was starting to get known around the world, his powers also starting be recognized and rumors have started. Ace knew people at Dawn knew he had some kind of weird power, they didn't know it came from a devil fruit, since he rarely used it when others could see. He wanted to keep the assassin a secret, so no one would tell that he visited often, or worse, that Sabo and Luffy lived here.

As Ace walked into the hideout, he was met with an empty living room, aside from Dadan, who was sitting in a chair and staring at him, seeming to have been waiting for him.

Ace closed the door behind him and looked at the woman. ¨Hi, Dadan. Where is Luffy and Sabo?¨ Asked Ace in a normal voice, although he had a feeling they were not inside and Dadan wanted to say or discuss something. Dadan gave him an emotionless look, almost making Ace a bit nervous. Dadan was a woman who usually was mad or glad, not emotionless. ¨Luffy and Sabo are out with Nick.¨ Said Dadan in a cold voice. Ace gave a nod as he walked closer and could see a hard and cold gaze on him from the woman. When he was about to sit down, Dadan stopped him. ¨You can stand.¨

Ace looked at her, seeing the cold hard stare at him. He had a feeling what this was about and wasn't really surprised if he was right. Ace gave a nod as he faced the woman, standing. ¨Did you want to speak about anything?¨ Asked Ace. He was going to face this, he knew this would come. It was a miracle it had taken this long. Dadan gave a nod. ¨We got a newspaper from the Grand Line last week. They mention something about a new assassin that is ruthless and managing to break into anything.¨ An even colder stare was directed at him.

¨An assassin that have black eyes, black hair, a black raven, black clothes and black smoke. And I thought to myself, 'doesn't that sound familiar.'¨

Dadan leaned forwards in her chair, ¨Where are you when you aren't here, Ace?¨ Ace gave a sigh and looked at Dadan. ¨I am at Amegakure, with Azuruko, as you know.¨ He could see Dadan on her way to speak, but Ace cut her off. ¨But, I am not there all the time either.¨ Dadan gave a nod, looking at him with hard and cold eyes, an underlying of sadness in her eyes. ¨So is it true, is it you?¨ Ace gave a nod, he was going to face this. ¨It is true. I am the assassin. I am the Ace of spades.¨ Dadan nodded.

¨Then I want you to leave. You are no longer welcomed to stay here. Luffy and Sabo may, but you should take them with you.¨

Ace didn't show any emotions as he nodded. He knew Dadan would most likely say that when she found out. She didn't like assassins, she had had a run in with them in her past, losing people to them. It still didn't hurt any less, but he would keep his face. ¨I understand. I will not be bothering you anymore. I will take Luffy and Sabo with me.¨ Dadan nodded. ¨Luffy and Sabo can visit, but you cannot. You can drop them off and pick them up, but that is that.¨ Ace nodded, that was at least a bit good. Luffy and Sabo liked the woman, especially Luffy.

Ace had thought about what to do if this happened. He had been able to speak to Azuruko about it. Luffy and Sabo couldn't stay at Amegakure with him, it was too dangerous, but Azuruko had helped him look for other places. He had said the people on an island called Boreumdo was good people and wouldn't care about who they were, neither that Ace was an assassin. And that a house was for sale there, Ace would buy that house for him and Luffy. Ace took a small step back, giving a nod to Dadan. ¨I will make some arrangements and will get Luffy and Sabo tomorrow. Thank you for taking care off us up til now.¨ Dadan gave a nod. ¨I wish it didn't end like this. But you know it has too. Take care of the brats.¨ Ace gave a nod as he turned around, ¨I will.¨

Then Ace went out the door, not looking back at the woman who had been there for him and his brothers for years.

When Ace got out, he wrote a quick note to Azuruko, saying he would need that house on Boreumdo, and gave the note to Dust who flew off. Ace took a deep breath as he closed his eyes for a second. He knew this was how it would go, it didn't make the pain any less, but he was prepared for it.

Half an hour later Sabo, Luffy and Nick came from the wood. Luffy gave an excited yell of his name as he hugged him. Ace could see Nick looking at him with sad eyes, knowing what just transpired. Ace gave a pat to Luffy's head, making him look at him. ¨I'm getting my own house on an island.¨ He said with a smile. Luffy looked excited at that. ¨Can we come too?!¨ Ace gave a nod, making Luffy really happy. ¨We'll leave tomorrow, be sure to pack everything.¨ Luffy nodded his head excited as he ran inside to start packing. Ace smiled after him, glad to see him this glad to come with him.

Ace turned around when he hear Sabo sigh. He was looking at Ace with a sad look. ¨Ace…¨ Ace shook his head. ¨I knew it would come to this, Sabo. It's okay. You and Luffy can visit Dadan when you wish.¨ Ace could see Sabo biting his teeth together when he only mentioned him and Luffy, not himself. When he opened the mouth to speak again, Ace shook his head. ¨It's fine Sabo. I'll come tomorrow at 12, be sure to be ready. I'll pick you up at the docks.¨ Sabo gave a sigh as he nodded and headed inside. When he was inside, Ace turned around to Nick, who gave a sigh. ¨I hoped it wouldn't end like this, Ace.¨ Ace shook his head, ¨It's fine Nick. I was glad it lasted as long.¨ Nick gave a nod. ¨I am too.¨ Ace gave Nick a quick hug, before giving his goodbyes and Ace left.

When Ace returned the next day, Luffy and Sabo was ready to leave, fully packed. The bandits had come to see them off, giving goodbyes and hugs to the three brothers, Luffy giving a hug to each and every one, wanting to say a proper goodbye. Everyone was there,

Everyone but Dadan.

Ace pretended it didn't hurt that she didn't even come to say goodbye. Not to him, but to Luffy and Sabo. When Luffy asked about it, everyone had given him a sad look. Ace had just said she was busy and Luffy seemed to accept that, although he still looked towards the hideout in the mountains. Ace had a feeling Luffy might know why they were suddenly leaving, but he hoped Luffy didn't. They gave a last goodbye to everyone, before Ace put his hand on Luffy and Sabo, then they were gone, leaving to the new house on Boreumdo.

As they left, brown eyes watched from a top of a cliff, smoke in mouth. A sigh was heard as Dadan turned around and headed back to her home. She really had hoped it could have ended differently, but Ace was an assassin. Dadan hated assassins. She had had a feeling for a year, that Ace might be one. He was living with Azuruko who was an assassin, but she hoped that was only to train. Assassins where bad people, they had taken everything from Dadan once. She was not going to be around Ace, not as long as he was one.

She knew it was harsh, but as long as Ace was an assassin, he had no home at her place.

And that's the chapter, hope you enjoyed

I know it was a bit mean for Dadan to just throw Ace out. But assassins aren't liked, especially by bandits, who have run ins with them and sometimes even are targeted by them. Dadan have her own history with them, not with Ace, but with assassins.
