Surprisingly, Ace, Sabo, and Luffy were all full. "Hey Luffy." Said Ace. Luffy looked at his brother. Ace look kind of bothered. "I know that when we were kids Sabo and I always told you that we would never join your crew. After all, we were just dumb 10 year olds kids who didn't want to be taking orders from their younger brother." Ace giggled then then his face went back to a blank expression looking at the ground. "But now, after this experience 2 years ago," Ace looked up at Luffy. "I realized that I never want this happen to you, and Sabo now that I know he's alive. I know what I said 2 years ago. But please, Luffy...let me join your crew!" Luffy, Sabo, and everyone else looked surprised. Even Garp. "I know when you asked me this before I turned you down immediately because I was looking for Blackbeard, and Whitebeard saved me so I could never leave him," Sabo looked down because he's leaving the person who saved him to take care of Luffy. Just like what Ace is doing now. "But Luffy...2 years ago was too painful. Now, I get to see you fulfil your dream just like I always wanted. And, since Whitebeard is dead, I have no one to go back to. I don't know where to find the crew either, or even what they're doing. I wish we could be carefree like the good old days. And we can! Please Luffy...let me join you and help you become King of the Pirates!"
Luffy looked at Ace sternly. "...Sure." Ace looked surprised yet grateful at the same time. "On one condition."
"Sure! Anything! I'll do anything!" Ace was finally happy that he could be with his brother once again. After all, he never thought he would see him again.
"You have to tell us...how you came back to life."
Ace's happy smiling face dropped. He looked around at the crew, at Garp who looked like he really wanted to know, then Law just stood there looking at him. "...Fine...I'll tell you...how I'm still here."
~Flashback~
"WAI-WAIT! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Screamed a mans voice.
"Relax. You'll be fine. I'm not going to do anything to you yet." Said Law trying to calm him down but getting irritated.
"BUT WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY YOU'LL BE CUTTING ME UP?!"
"After you die in 1 week, I need your organs."
The man stopped screaming. "But why?! What are you going to do?!
"There is someone I need to save. Even I, a surgeon couldn't help you. I have been a long time time for you. I needed someone your age. But don't worry, I won't do anything until you die. Your organs are fine, but your brain is the problem. That can't be cured. But don't worry, your organs won't be wasted."
"Wha-what will you be doing with them?"
"A few weeks ago...someone I really need to talk to died, more like killed. And since his organs were burned, his organs are the only thing I need to replace."
"Burned?" The man said confused. "Ho-how did they get burned?" The man thought for a little bit then remembered over a month ago when the Second Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates died by Akainu's fist. Was he really thinking of reviving Ace?! No! That couldn't be right! That dangerous man, also being Gol D. Roger's son...that can't be right! "Yo-you can't be thinking of real reviving Ace can you?!"
Law wasn't too surprised that the man knew who he was talking about. After all, it was all over the news. "Please, I really don't think he was such a bad guy."
"I-I don't care! He's still a filthy pirate!" The man was getting really mad at Law. He didn't want his organs being put into a pirate! Especially to revive him!
Law was getting irritated with this man. "Look, if it makes you feel any better I'll kill Ace after I'm done with him. Is that okay? Don't worry. He won't be able to defeat me. I won't be beaten that easily. There's something I still have to do. A certain man I need to get rid of. But in order to get rid of him I need Ace to tell me about a certain pirate who's name is always in that papers. I've met him before and seen him fight. He's quite strong and would be very helpful. But once I'm done with Ace I'll kill him. Are you okay with that?"
The man thought for a while. "...Yes...as long as that filthy evil pirate dies right after you talk to him."
Law smiled with the shadow of his hat covering his eyes. "Good. I'll see you again in one week. Whether you are alive or not. Once you die, your organs are mine."
