A/N: Well. Here's another weird fanfiction. Yes, the first chapter is short. Future chapters will be longer.

Summary:

After training for 2 years as a shinobi in Konohagakure, Ace re-enters the world of pirates. This time, there will be no regrets.

I don't own One Piece.

Chapter 1

"Good luck!"

"You can do it, dattebayo!"

Cheers and goodbyes rang through the air, as a 22-year-old Portgas D. Ace stepped through the strange, spiraling black portal.

I'm coming back, Luffy, everyone.

Ace stepped out into a small alleyway, and was immediately hit with a cold breeze.

It's hard to breathe here. How high up am I?

Looking around. he doubted you could even call this an alleyway. There wasn't even a speck of dirt in sigh, and on both sides were pristine marble walls that practically screamed rich.

This reminds me an awful lot of Goa Kingdom...

Walking out into the streets, he saw trees and fountains decorating a fairly normal town. Well, it would be a fairly normal town if not very house was a fucking mansion and the streets weren't unsettlingly clean.

"Look, Daddy! It's a lower lifeform!"

Ace sighed. His Haki had already told him that a snotty-looking brat along with a snotty-looking old man were walking towards him.

Well, not exactly walking. The pathway was moving.

What the hell...

Ace turned around, his gaze meeting the very angry-looking snot-nosed Celestial Dragon who had stepped off the... moving walkway.

"Y-you... how dare a commoner like you... s-step into the Domain of the Gods!" He blubbered, immediately pulling out and firing a fancy handgun.

Slow.

The World Noble stared at the place where blood was supposed to be dripping out from. The bullet stilled as it was held in front of the 22-year-old's face.

"Where is the blood, you ask?" Ace smirked, "The answer to that..."

The same bullet that was fired at the ex-Logia pierced the Celestial Dragon's neck. His body went limp, falling to the floor, as blood sprayed the unnaturally clean floor.

Huh. It was too clean anyways.

"DADDY!"

Ace couldn't help but smile at the corpse of the disgusting World Noble. His head lay, eyes and mouth open, at an unnatural angle in the thick pool of blood. He deserved it.

At the scream of the child whose father he had just killed, and the gunshot, the guards had come running. Not anymore though, since they all, along with the kid, were now on the floor, foaming at the mouth.

What is this place anyways? "The Domain of the Gods?"

Suddenly, everything blurred.

Shit.

Ace collapsed on the ground, snoring away.

Ace opened his eyes to see iron bars.

And a very familiar and angry old geezer.

"Oh shi-"

A/N: Cool.

Damn this is really short.
