Ace woke up and quickly got dressed. He wore his standard shorts, boots, and hat; however, he decided to not wear his shirt. Instead, he chose to show off the new tattoo that adorned his back. When he left the room he found Marco waiting for him, "Maro."

"Going on a date? Please tell me it's not with the little man-slayer."

Ace chuckled and shook his head, "No, I'm meeting up with Regan. I'm surprised Whitebeard didn't tell you."

Marco paused and thought, "No, but that does make since, he seemed a little off last night. Must be hard knowing your daughter is grown up and dating a notorious pirate."

Ace smirked and gave the guy a fist bump, "Thanks again for keeping on me about joining the crew, I wouldn't have been able to see it if it wasn't for you. Now for the first time I have a family."

Marco just clapped him on the back and gave an embarrassed smile, "It was nothing now go before you make the lady mad."

Ace grinned, "Ya see you later, Marco!" He went off and headed towards the Devil's Kiss. When he arrived he saw Typhoon Regan in all of her glory. Her long hair was down with a black bandana over it and then she had low cut purple shirt with a short black jacket over top of it. He looked down and saw the short skirt and the high boots that made her long legs seem so much longer. When she turned and saw him she gave him a small cute smile. "Regan…I…wow…"

Regan giggled shyly and looked down, "I guess that means the new look is okay."

"New look?"

Regan nodded and looked up at him, "I am a pirate. Not to mention I'm dating a pirate, my father's a pirate. I thought about it a lot and I was only hurting everyone clinging to the past. My mom would want me to be me, not the perfect daughter."

"So no more glasses?"

Regan chuckled and shook her head, "I still need them once in a while, I need to see things at a distance and without my glasses it's top blurry. So don't go running off on me or I'll be lost."

Ace grinned and offered his hand, "Well let's get started on our date."

Regan grinned and placed her hand in his and followed him through the small town, "So where are we going?"

Ace grinned and stopped in front of a restaurant, "Just wait here, I'll be right back."

Regan nodded and leaned against the building when she noticed a few men coming towards her. When they stopped in front of her she stood straight up and put her hands on her hips, "Can I help you?"

One of the men grinned showing off his lack of teeth, "Well I think you can. See we were looking for someone to keep us company through the night and we think you are just the person we were looking for."

Regan raised an eyebrow and crossed her arms across her chest, "Oh really now. Who do you think I am?"

Another man smirked and looked her over, "No anyone the government takes care of or else you wouldn't be here and dressed like that I think you want the attention, a girl like you shouldn't dress like a pirate, men might think you are one."

The third man went up to touch her only to freeze when a man cleared his voice from behind them, "Typhoon Regan, 15 million beli bounty. She also happens to be my date."

The man turned around and froze, "Fire Fist Ace?"

The first man stepped forward and held up his hands, "I'm sorry I didn't realize she was with you, our mistake."

Regan rolled her eyes and walked past them pressing on a spot on their body and they collapsed unconscious as she walked forward. "So what did you get?"

Ace grinned and pulled her along, "It's a secret." He let go of her when they reached a small clump of trees next to the beach, "I thought we could have a picnic." He laid down a blanket then set a basket of food and drinks down, "Care to join me?"

Regan grinned and sat down next to him. She helped herself to a bite when Ace leaned over and ate it, "Hey! I thought that was for me."

Ace grinned and put an arm around her and brought her closer to him, "I'm sorry how about I make it up to you." He grabbed a strawberry and put it in his mouth before leaning over and kissing her slipping it into hers. "There now we are even."

Regan gasped but ate the strawberry, "I can't believe you just did that!"

"We can do it again, if you'd like." He said as he gave her a wink. He smirked when he saw a blush forming, "You look nice all relaxed. You used to hide yourself…although, you can go back to that when you are away from me."

"What is that supposed to mean?"

"I don't want anyone seeing this side of you."

Regan felt her heart beat skip, "Well I guess I can do that as long as you stop going on date with other women."

Ace grinned and kissed her, "Deal after all you are the reason I feel that I have a purpose in life."

Regan smiled and then gasped, "That's right I figured out what I want to do with my life!"

Ace looked at her and frowned, "I'm not enough?"

Regan gave him a look and relaxed when he smirked, "I want to help children like us. Make a safe hold for pirate families to stay. Think about how much nicer our lives would have been if we had been protected as children."

"Not all pirates are nice like the ones we know."

"That's why I'd stay and protect them, besides Rosaleen is on board and that means we have a warlord on our side."

Ace looked down at her and smiled, "I well help too, not only for me but my brother Luffy. He's father is Monkey D. Dragon. He also knows how hard it can be."

Regan kissed his cheek and smiled, "But I'm sure he grew up just fine with an older brother like you."

Ace grinned and kissed her then, "Thanks Regan, if you do make this place, I wouldn't mind having children someday."

Regan looked at him and smiled, "Would they take Portgas or Gol for their name?"

Ace smirked and pulled her close to him, "If they are yours I'll give the name Gol, after all they would already be after a child born from two famous pirates with two of the strongest pirates ever as grandfathers. I think the name Gol would be perfect to make the world squirm."

Regan grinned happily and leaned back into him, "It would be a good lesson to them. Teach them to leave us alone."

Ace kissed her head as he looked down at her, "I'm glad I found you."

Regan pulled away then turned and straddled his legs and grabbed his face and kissed him. When she pulled away she gave a smirk, "I am too."

Ace laughed and pulled her into her arms and laid back pulling her with him, "Oh I love you, I don't know how it is possible to happen so fast, but it is."

Regan gave a small laugh and rolled onto his chest and looked into his eyes, "That's easy, you stole my heart and being a pirate myself, I stole yours."
