Day 6: Day of ASaboL
Original idea: A day of life at the Revolutionary Army base.
New Idea: Sabo chases after Ace during Ace's suicidal rush to kill Blackbeard. (Thatch didn't die, but he's been holed up in bed recovering)
(This one's the first that's actually kind of AU, I've been trying to keep my prompts kinda Canon. It's AU in the sense that both Ace and Luffy know Sabo is still alive, and that Sabo remembers them.)
This onefeelsso much longer than the other ones X.X

Sabo could not believe what Ace was doing. The blonde decided that his older brother had finally lost his goddamned mind. Sabo couldn't blame him though, he himself would have probably lost his shit if somebody from the Revolutionary Army had backstabbed one of their comrade in arms.
But Sabo had turned in a temporary resignation to Dragon-san, said that he had a couple things to do, and took off after his crazy older brother. While Ace had caught up to Luffy before he fought Crocodile. Sabo got there afterwards, a pat on the head and a congratulations had made his younger brother squirm with pride. And then he had to be introduced to his little brother's crew and the Going Merry. It amused Sabo when people asked if they were sure they were related, but it also annoyed him, Luffy and Ace looked like they could be blood related, he was the pale skinned, blue- eyed blond amongst dark eyes, black hair and tanned skin. Ace had always made jokes about Sabo being the pretty one of the three brothers.
Being the "pretty" one didn't bother him, the way Ace said it however annoyed him. His brother had a mean sense of humor. Ace had always laughed when Luffy hurt himself with his, at the time, faulty rubber powers. Sabo thought about his brothers as he followed Ace on his mad dash across the grand line.
And when he finally caught up, just before the idiot could confront Blackbeard, the slightly older man actually had the nerve to be startled by his little brother's 'sudden' arrival. "Ace, come back to Whitebeard's ship with me, Thatch isn't dead, he's getting better. You do not need to avenge him. Help me watch after Luffy, Blackbeard is baiting you! Dragon-san managed to get some information. Blackbeard is after Luffy! If you don't go back to the Moby Dick, we need to stay close to the little idiot for a while."
Ace reared back in shock, the idea that he had been played hadn't even occurred to him. He supposed that's why Sabo was the smartest one of the three brothers. Consenting to the change in plans, Ace gladly used his striker to get them closer to their little brother, making sure to use a DenDen Mushi to call back to the Moby Dick, Marco, Thatch, and Pops, letting them know he had decided to end the wild goose chase. They were relieved of course, Sabo had expected as much. The blonde however had not expected the fervent thanks he had gotten for talking some sense into their fiery brother.
It took them a while to even figure out where the straw-hatted boy had landed himself. Then they got the newspaper. Ace had nearly lost his mind! Szabo was just amused, he gladly watched Ace blow up a couple marine ships to 'vent' his anger and outrage.
"What the hell is Luffy thinking?! Taking on Enies Lobby, BY HIMSELF?! NO BACK UP!" Ace's voice was getting shriller the longer he screamed. Those poor Marines, they didn't do anything but get in Ace's way.
Smiling, Sabo just watched, batting away a couple brave Marines who had decided that any man with Fire Fist Ace had to be a dangerous man, and therefore needed to be taken out. He kept his hat covering his face as he worked through the Marines coming at him. He didn't want to be recognized as a Revolutionary Army member, it would raise a lot of eyebrows and concerns among the hierarchy of the Navy.
When Ace finally calmed down, Sabo refrained from laughing at him, Luffy was going to do whatever Luffy was going to do. It's the way the younger boy worked, it didn't matter how worked up he got others he would always dismiss their concerns with a smile and a wave. Though the blonde had wished that his little brother would keep out of trouble long enough for them to get to him.
Ace had called the Moby Dick after calming down, ranting at Marco that something needed to be done. Luffy was going to get himself killed. Although his actions were noble, it had practically been a suicide mission to retrieve Nico Robin back from the Marines. They got out of it fine though, somehow Luffy's Devils luck had kicked in and his crew made it out safely.
Sabo decided that the older, raven-haired, pirate had a brother complex, then he admitted to himself that he had one as well. Both older brothers adored Luffy. It was as obvious as the tides, both of them would do anything to protect their little brother it was the way they worked. If only Luffy would accept that.
So Sabo and Ace headed towards the Sabaody Archipelago, hoping that they got there before Luffy. The three of them needed to talk.
