~End Flashback~

Luffy was shocked. "Hey Tra-guy!" He screamed. He stood up and started walking towards Law. "Why didn't you tell me that you revived Ace? We're friends!"

"We are Luffy. Well, we formed an allience, but I guess friends can work now. But I needed the right time. If I had told you before we took down Doflamingo then you wouldn't have taken him down. You would've gone in search of Ace, and not have kept our agreement. He told me about you Luffy, I know more about you than you think."

Luffy thought for a moment realizing that yes, he would've gone in search for Ace. No doubt about that. "You're right Tra-guy. I would have. But that doesn't mean I would've broken our agreement, because I never forget my promises." Luffy's voice becomes very sentimental now. "But Tra-guy...thank you...for bringing my brother back." His voice back to normal now. "Hehe because now he's on my crew!"

"Haha don't worry Ace" said Sabo looking at Ace feeling a bit off for doing something he never thought he would do. "Don't feel too bad. I broke in before you did."

"Huh?" Said Ace confused.

"Well, on our way here, to the island, I had already decided on it. I had already decided that I didn't want to lose Luffy the way I lost you. I wouldn't be able to bear it. So I joined to make sure I knew what he was doing and where he was going. I have to care about my little brother after all." He smiled. "And we're back together...finally back together. We always planned on meeting in the ocean, and here we are. After 12 long years, ASL is back together, and let me just say, just like the past, no one can beat us!" Luffy and Ace both smiled. ASL has reunited. Even though no one else knew what they were talking about besides Garp, and he was happy to see the three together again.

"Heh! I'm glad I wasn't the first." Said Ace jokingly. "Oh right! Luffy! If you don't have any plans after this, I would really love of we could go and search for he Flare-Flare Fruit. I miss my powers a bit, you know? And if someone has it then we could just kill that person, right?"

Everyone who was on Dressrosa was afraid of this. Someone has that power, and they all know that the only way to obtain an already eaten devil fruit was to kill the person that ate it.

"Ace umm..." Said Sabo not knowing how he wanted to say this. "You see...on Dressrosa, there was a battle going on and the winner got a prize."

"Oh really?! What was the prize? Berries? Treasure? What was it?!"

Luffy and Sabo looked at each other. "Actually Ace, um..." Said Sabo hesitantly. "The prize" he hold up his fist to show the fire. "was the Flare-Flare Fruit."

Ace was shocked. "So...it's already been found..." He looks down. "I see...so I'll never get my power back."

Everyone seemed to feel pretty sorry for Ace. After all, he can't be "Fire Fist Ace" without his flare flare fruit.

"There is a way..." Garp said before everyone turned to look at him.

"What? Is there really?!" Said Ace quite excitedly.

"I don't know how it's done. But Blackbeard took Whitebeard's devil fruit."

"What?!" Everyone screamed in surprise. "How?!" Said Ace more mad then upset. "You can't eat more than 1 devil fruit, or you'll die. So cow could Blackbeard have 2?! And with those 2 powers, no one can beat him."

"I don't know how he did it Ace," said Garp. "All I saw was a tarp get thrown over Whitbeard, then Blackbeard came out from under the tarp with both devil fruits. I think he can use both at the same time too. You all better be careful now. I'm not going to lose any more grandchildren you hear? Dayan punched me in the face for a good long while." He was cut off.

"You met Dadan?!" Screamed Ace, Sabo, and Luffy.

"That must means she's doing well right?" Asked Luffy. "I'm glad...it's been a long time since I've seen her."

"Yeah." Said Ace. "Too long."

"Longer for me guys." Proclaimed Sabo. "You all thought I was dead."

"Well, you never came back or tried to look for us." Said Luffy. Even though he didn't want to think about what really happened.

"I'm sure that we could find a way to figure out how to get Ace his powers back." Said Franky out of no where.

"And how do you suppose we do that?" Stated Nami. "We have no leads on this."

"I do know that Blackbeard is going after all the Devil Fruits he can." Said Luffy. "I never asked why though."

"That's so like you Luffy." Said Nami not surprised.

"Vegapunk might know something. If we can find him we might get some answers." Stated Franky.

"But Vegapunk works for the Navy." Said Garp.

"Then can you help us out Grandpa?" Said Luffy. "I want Ace to have his fire back."

"And I'm fine giving it back to my brother." Said Sabo. "And I can even get the revolutionary to help. It'll be like one big family working together for your old friends son."

The brothers were ready for anything. And Garp saw that. "...*exhales* fine...Sabo, get ahold of Dragon and I'll do what I can too."

"Thanks Grandpa!" "Thanks Old Man!" Luffy and Ace said at the same time as they jumped on Garp to give him a hug as Sabo stood back and smiled. More than anything her was happy to see them all together again. After all this time, he remembered the happiness that he felt, being with his brothers and how much he missed it.
