Hello everyone, here is another chapter
I know it's been over 2 years since the last update, but for some reason, there have been some comments and messages for this story, so I wanted to give it another try and see how it goes. This is just a short chapter, and I really hope for some feedback on this
Hope you enjoy
Read and relax
Ace stood in her room and combed her hair with a brush. She might not like to have long hair or have it out, but she didn't want tangles in it, that just hurt. The only reason it was so long, was since Luffy liked it. If not, she would have cut it short long ago. But since Luffy liked it, she would keep it long, for him. Shanks also liked it, but he didn't matter as much. Oh how she detested that annual day out with Shanks, how he always tried to make her look more feminine. She hated it with a passion. But, that was usually the only day she looked like a girl, if one didn't count the days she was out with Luffy. He always liked it when she wore feminine clothing, and she wanted to make Luffy happy. One of the few days she didn't bind her chest. She had been doing this for years, and wasn't going to stop yet. She liked how she looked with the hat and bound chest, she looked stronger, better, like a man.
She remembers how this started, how she had started with the hat, putting her hair up and hiding how long it was, so it looked like she had short hair. She still didn't have boobs then, so she was easily seen as a boy, and she remembers how everyone treated her differently, with more respect. People thought men were stronger than females. And she loved that, and she kept it up. But then, she got breast, of course she was one of those who got big breasts. She knew so many women who would have loved that, but she didn't. And she gave up to look like a boy for a while, until she read about biding her chest, she never knew that was possible. So she had tried, and again, she looked like a boy again, and the respect came back, same with people thinking she was strong. She didn't do it much at the start, seeing how Luffy didn't like it, but when she set out, she did it every day. Her crew found out one day, that she was a she, not a he, and they all questioned why. Well, everyone but Deuce. She always liked Deuce. She liked all of her crew, but she liked Decue the most. It was wrong to have favorites, or she thinks it is, but she had a favorite.
Then she had met that man, who made her life a living hell. Until then, she was sort of okay with her female side. She preferred to be a man, but she was okay with it. But that man changed it all, made her life a living hell, until her crew got her out. Ace shuddered at the thought and decided not to think about him or that time for now.
Then she had met Shanks, and he was nice, and seemed to like her. Well, after she had stopped trying to murder him too. But then, he had found out she was a she. And Ace had been sure he would change, but he didn't for some reason. She never got that. He still treated her with respect. Or, he changed a bit. He started to make her be a female. To have her hair down, to have her wear dresses, and things like that. He had thankfully never made her wear make up, which was something. But still, she hated it. And those braids, those stupid braids. She hated them with a passion, and he was good at making it happen. One time even tying her down to make one, or have Benn made one on her. Benn was good with that for some reason. And after Shanks had found out, he made the annual day out a thing, and it had been for the last years. But it was only one day, so it was bearable. But then, she had ran into the Whitebeards. Or ran into and ran into, she wanted it to happen, the reason he had fought Jinbei, and she had tried, with all her might, to take the captains head, but it hadn't been possible, but she had managed to hide her being a female for long. Until they had found out by accident, and as usual, they changed.
She got her own room, they acted nice around her, they wanted her to be a she, and she didn't want to be that. She wanted to be a he, a man. It was so much simpler. She couldn't be used the same way as a man. People acted way better when they thought she was a he. They didn't coddle her, they didn't think her to be weak, and treated her with respect. It was different when they thought her to be a she. But Shanks had explained why they had changed that first time, but after it, things just changed. She needed a check up with Bay, she needed to try and keep her binds less tight, and just small things. And that last week, with the storm. Thatch had been nice to her, but still. But then again, she knew he was a womanizer, so it might be because of that. She just didn't know.
She sighed as she remembered what Shanks had said, which she had almost forgotten, that since she was here, that yearly day out, might turn to two days out a year, once every half year. But she wouldn't know until next time he showed up. It hopefully would stay once every year, if not, it wasn't that long until their next day out. Just a couple months. She really hoped it wouldn't come to that, that she needed to deal with Shanks twice a year, she hoped not. She really did hate that day out. But if she needed to deal with it, she needed to deal with it. If not, Shanks would force her, and that was worse, better to just go with it that rare time, or maybe times now.
And that's the chapter, hope you enjoyed
I know this was short, but I wanted to give it another shot after some comments and messages. I'm not sure if I will continue it or not, but we'll see how this chapter is received
Also, should Shanks show up again in a couple months?
