"Ace! ACE!" Luffy shouted, his eyes wide as he took it all in. Ace was alive? No, this could not be. It must have been a dream. Ace had died in his arms. Ace had died in his…

Luffy fell to the ground, his hand wiping off the dripping blood. Ace had just punched him and he had a malicious look on his face. The blood dripping from his mouth was proof that it was no dream. This was reality.

"Ace!" Luffy said, questioning eyes looking into his brothers eyes, "Why?"

Ace remained silent as he advanced towards Luffy, murderous intent evident in his lack of hesitation. He dodged the attacks, but could not begin to comprehend how it had ended like this. One second he was making a fire in the middle of the ship and the next, Ace was walking out the fire and punching him senseless. Speaking of which, the thousand Sunny was now on fire.

"Ace! Ace! Stop this!" Luffy cried out. He could not continue dodging like this. And there was no way he was going to attack Ace. Not his only brother.

Ace stopped when rain started pouring down on them. She was walking towards both Ace and Luffy with her weapon in hand, her eye twitching as she grinned at them both.

"Do you know what we are going to use to pay for that repair," she growled, a terrifying aura emitting from her as she stalked towards them like a predator to its prey, "Beri's! MY beri's!"

"But the beri's are not hers," Chopper said quietly to Usopp who had arrived onto the ship with the rest of the crew, all of them carrying bags of food and other essentials.

"If she says it's hers, it's hers," Usopp whispered, his voice muffled that he could not be heard, "can you not see the look on her face."

Chopper gulped as Sanji sing-songed, "Nami-swan looks hottest when she is angry."

"After I am done with the two of you I will go find Zoro and-"

Ace turned and faced them all, silence befalling the ship as Nami's anger was replaced with fear. She fell to the ground shaking as Usopp, Brook and Chopper grabbed onto each other, screaming their lungs out.

Ace's dead brother was standing before them, looking as alive as alive people looked.
