Hello everyone, here is another one shot
This is if Trevor and Mika never showed and Ace is out when the first no no words is said and how that would have gone
Hope you enjoy
Read and relax
Whitebeard sent a dirty look at the man who was pestering Ace to get a drink with him, and Ace shook his head as he moved to grab a drink. "No, I am fine here. Maybe another time." Whitebeard gave a nod, agreeing hoping the man would leave. The man gave a groan. "Come on! Come on, Pretty B-" Ace's hand clenched, both stopping the man from continuing and making the glass he held shatter in his hand, making a mix of beer and glass fall to the table, with a mix of blood, Ace's eyes locked on the wall in front of him, teeth clenched too. Whitebeard had no idea what just happened, but something made Ace react, he was about to speak, when the man did, backing away. "I obviously did something wrong. I am sorry." Yes, he certainly did something wrong, but he didn't know what, but had a feeling it was something about that last word, the pretty something. He was about to speak, when Ace just turned around and left in a haste, blood dripping to the floor as he walked away. He could see everyone was worried and Marco stood up and followed after fast, and he hoped he would reach Ace.
Izou looked at him worriedly. "What just happened?" Whitebeard shook his head. "I don't know. But nothing good." He was sure of that, that that wasn't anything good. Thatch looked towards the door where Marco and Ace had gone. "I hope he is fine." Whitebeard nodded and hoped for the same, he wanted to go after as well, but Marco should go first and he could come later. They then sat worried, and he saw Izou on his way to head after, but he stopped him. "No, let Marco get a bit of time, then I will head after." That sounded to be the best plan right now. Izou nodded and sat down. "Okay." They then sat and tried to make the time pass. But after about 5 minutes, Marco came back in with a sigh and sat down. "I can't find him, yoi. Not on the boat or in his room." Whitebeard felt worried with that, worried for Ace. "Are you sure, son?" Marco nodded. "Yeah, I checked." That really wasn't good. Izou blinked. "Well, we can't just sit here! He is hurt!" That was true, and he looked at Marco, who seemed to have the same idea as him as he nodded. He then stood up. "We'll call Shanks, this doesn't feel right." It didn't. Marco nodded and they headed towards the boat, and everyone followed. Thatch did say they were worried too, but they all shouldn't call, so he said that just he and Marco should call, and then update them. He got that they were worried.
When they got to the boat, he let Lance go and fetch the Den Den while they sat in the meeting room, before he got the Den Den and he called, Shanks answering after a bit. "Yello! You've reached Shanks!" Shanks was always so happy-go-lucky and carefree. "It's Whitebeard and Marco." The Den Den nodded. "Okay. Why are you calling so late?" It was a bit late, almost midnight. Whitebeard sighed. "Something happened, we're not sure what happened, but some guy said something and Ace reacted… badly." The Den Den blinked. "Oh wait, hold on." The Den Den moved its head as Shanks yelled. "Benn!" He faintly heard a yes. "Didn't Ace just come?!" Whitebeard blinked. Ace was there? He heard a faint yes again and he looked at the Den Den. "Yeah, he's here. What happened?" Whitebeard sighed. "Some guy started a name, pretty something, I do-" "Oh no, not Pretty Boy?" Said Shanks cutting him off. Whitebeard nodded. "Yes, that's it I think. Why did that make him react?" The Den Den hummed. "How can I explain this… Basically, there are words he can't handle, Pretty Boy is among them. Lemme get Benn, he knows this better."
Shanks then got up and after a few seconds, Benn came on. "Hi, let's see, words Ace can't handle. As Shanks said, Pretty Boy, and then there is Acey, Doll, Pet, Eye-candy, precious, Hellion, sweetheart, ravishing, tasteful, and the usual demon, devil, monster, and such. A few needs to be directed at him though, like you're a demon or monster, or Eye-candy, or ravishing. And dearie and darling, as in 'my darling' or 'my dearie'. There are a few more, but I am sure you would never use them." Whitebeard nodded as he frowned. "Like what?" Benn sighed. "Like 'fucktoy' and other really degrading things, you would never use that." That was true. He nodded. "Okay. Is Ace fine? He hurt his hand." Benn nodded. "I know, I bandaged it. He's fine, let him be here a bit and calm down, and he'll come back. Don't mention it really, he hates that he reacts." Whitebeard got that, but that was awful to see. "Thank you, Benn." The Den Den shook its head. "No problem. Ace will probably be back in an hour or three." Whitebeard nodded, that was good. "Have a good evening." Benn nodded. "Yeah, same. Ace might stay the night though, forgot it was night. In a place where the sun doesn't set. He will be back by tomorrow morning." That sounded good. He was glad Ace was okay. They then bid goodbye and he hoped Ace really was fine.
They then went back out and he informed everyone Ace was fine, and that there were words he couldn't hear, and mentioned those words, and everyone seemed to get it and he was sure everyone would never use them to Ace, or maybe at all for that manner. When the next day came, Ace was out by breakfast, and while a few sent him looks, no one mentioned it, and that was good. Marco did stay close to Ace, which was good. He was sure things would be fine, they now knew about it.
And that's the one shot, hope you enjoyed
This is just how it would have gone if Mika and Trevor never were there
