Hello everyone, here is another chapter!
This is a bit of a weird chapter, but bear with me, it will be cool, and the next one will be as well. I have had this idea for a long while and have just waited for the right moment, and finally it is here
Hope you enjoy
Read and relax
Whitebeard sat out on deck, enjoying what seemed like a good and calm day. But as it was nearing noon, there came what seemed like an enemy ship, and they then got into a battle. And it didn't seem it would be too hard of a battle, especially as Ace was joining in, even Trevor. And the enemy seemed like they understood this as they were going to lose.
Then, the enemy captain yelled for someone to 'do it now!,' which had him worried about what would happen now, when a man threw something at Ace, who caught it. He looked at it, and showed it to Trevor with a frown, and it looked like a stick, before the enemy spoke. "I will banish you to another dimension!" Then there was a blink, before Ace sat on the ground, a hand on his head. But there was no Trevor. Then the enemy just ran, which was weirder.
Whenhe took in the shape, where Ace had been, he blinked as he saw the back. Where there had been scars and brands, there was now a huge tattoo of his mark. What was this? The others who saw it were shocked too. He did look like Ace in the face, but not the rest, so he looked at the man. "Who are you?" The man pointed to himself. "...I am Ace? Portgas D Ace?" Whitebeard frowned, he did look alike from the front. "But…" started Thatch. "You have Pops' mark…" The man blinked. "I do, yes? I mean, Pops is awesome." Izou blinked. "And you called him Pops! You don't do that!" The man looked shocked. "What do you mean! I am Ace! You are messing with my mind!" This couldn't be Ace.
Marco had a frown. "Really, who are you? What happened before you got here, yoi?" The man gave an unsure sound. "This guy said something like 'I will banish you to another dimension!' or something." That was true, Marco bliked. "Wait, you're Ace? Portgas D Ace?" The man nodded. "Yes." Marco nodded, looking at him. "I think this is Ace, from another dimension." Whitebeard blinked, that might make sense. Mika moved her hand. "What about Trevor? Why is there no him?" The man, maybe Ace, frowned. "Who the hell is Trevor?" Mika looked shocked. "He's not with you? Do you know who I am?" Ace shook his head. "Sorry." Mika looked shocked. "Okay, let's say you are Ace, who is everyone out on deck right now, except me." Ace nodded, before he said everyone's name, and he got it all right, except from Nick and Quinn, but again, their Ace had made them join them, or maybe not made Quinn, but it might be because of Ace.
Marco nodded. "Makes sense, you are another Ace, from another dimension." Ace blinked. "That sounds… weird." Mika nodded. "Yes, and even though you don't know everyone, don't kill them." Ace blinked. "Wait… I don't kill..? I mean, I have injured a few, but kill? No." Mika blinked, before she hummed. "Ace not being a homicidal man? Can't see it." He couldn't either, and Ace blinked. "I'm homicidal here?" Mika nodded. "Like really bad. You kill on a daily basis. But you don't seem to have the same issues. You have no real scars on your body, suggesting trauma." Ace blinked. "What? I have scars?" Whitebeard nodded. "Yes, a lot. You've been captured by bad people. Nobles and such." Ace blinked. "Oh… I don't have any interactions with them. I almost had one… when Sabo's father came for him and he… didn't make it." Whitebeard blinked. What?
Whitebeard looked at Ace. "What? Sabo's not dead. Not here." Ace looked shocked. "He's… not?" Thatch nodded. "Really, he is not. He is so cool as well." Ace moved a hand to his chest. "I know…" Ace looked sad, and he got it, and they changed the topic, Marco talking. "You're really warm, did you know that, yoi? I can feel your warmth from here." Ace blinked. "Well, yeah. My powers. Don't feel cold either." Whitebeard blinked, before he frowned. "What? You're always cold. You hate the cold." Ace frowned. "No..? What kind of powers do I have here? Do I even have powers?" Thatch nodded. "Yeah! I don't know the name though. But you create black smoke and can teleport and everything!" Ace frowned. "I mean… I can make smoke? But I am fire." Whitebeard frowned. "What do you mean 'fire'?" Ace shrugged, before he held her hand out and it turned to flames. "I have the Mera Mera no Mi." Said Ace, before his hand changed back. Ace was fire? He had another fruit?
Thatch blinked. "Our Ace has another fruit." Ace blinked. "I can really teleport? Sounds so cool! I can travel fast though, but that's it." He got that. This was weird. Really weird. Ace then moved his hand a bit. "Am I still with Marco? That is either yes or completely weird." Marco blinked. "Yes, we are, or, our Ace, I am married to him, yoi." Ace gave a gasp. "I am married! I wanna get married! We're only engaged." Marco blinked. "Weird. So, things are different between here and there?" Ace blinked, before he nodded slowly. "Seems so? I mean, I don't know."
They nodded, before they said some questions only Ace would know, and yes, he knew all of them, that was until he asked 'when did we fight', and it had Ace frown. "Fight? We never really fought fought, although you beat me around for a couple months." Thatch frowned. "What? Why?" Ace shrugged. "Tried to kill him for two months. Failed greatly." Izou blinked. "Okay, I believe this. You're not our Ace. Our Ace won against Pops in a fight." Ace blinked, before he gasped. "I did! How!" Thatch shook his head. "No! Why did you try to kill Pops!" Ace blinked. "I don't know what you know, but I kinda believe I needed to avenge my father…" Whitebeard blinked. "But Shanks cleared that up?" Ace blinked. "Wait, I know Shanks? I don't really know that guy." Might make sense since he thought he needed to avenge his father.
Mika nodded. "What are you?" Ace blinked. "I am me? I mean, my name, pretty cool, is Firefirst Ace." Thatch nodded. "Makes sense with the fruit. But you aren't anything more?" Ace frowned. "I don't get what you want." Mika moved her hand. "Are you a mercenary? Assassin? Something else?" Ace frowned. "I am a pirate. I was a captain before I joined here." Thatch blinked. "Wait? What! What were you called!" Ace shrugged. "Spade Pirates." Mika nodded. "Makes sense. Ace would have called himself that." Ace frowned. "Wait… I am not a pirate?" Whitebeard hummed. "You are a pirate now, before us, you were, or still am, an assassin, and now, also a mercenary." Ace looked shocked, tried to talk a couple times, before he nodded. "Oh, that sounds… a lot. Assassin? I mean, yeah, I can teleport here? I sound awesome! I feel like this one here Ace is stronger than me." Thatch blinked. "Well, if you got beat around by Pops, then either Pops is super strong there, or you're super weak. I vote for weak. I don't really… feel your presence." Whitebeard blinked, before he felt the same, and he nodded.
Ace looked shocked. "I am not weak!" Mika chuckled. "Compared to our Ace, yes, yes you are. But you have their mark on your back? That's pretty cool." Ace blinked, before he gave a dumb look. "I don't here? I love this mark." Said Ace as he motioned to his back. Whitebeard nodded slowly. "You have… brands and scars." Ace blinked. "I have scars!? And brands!? Did… did you brand me? Like, with your mark?" Whitebeard blinked, before he quickly shook his head. "I have never branded anyone!" He said, almost mad it was even suggested. Ace moved his hand. "Sorry. So, I have other brands? From where?" Thatch looked unsure with that, and he got it, and didn't know what to say, when Mika spoke. "You have 5 from different places. Bad people." Ace blinked. "Oh, makes sense." It seemed he left it at that, and that was good.
They then went through the events on how this Ace ended up with their Whitebeards, and when he was ending it, Marco frowned. "You fought Jimbei?" Ace nodded. "Yes. Real hard battle. Barely won." Yes, this Ace was much weaker than theirs. Thatch hummed. "Jimbei here really likes you. But he apparently was a previous slave, and you help free those." Ace blinked. "Slaves? I free those? I am an awesome guy. Never met any slaves, or freed them." Mika blinked. "What about BBP?" Whitebeard didn't know himself what that was, and Ace shook his head. "What's that?" Mika hummed. "Blue Blooded Patricians." Ace shook his head. "Never heard about that. What is it?" Mika nodded. "Almost a noble, but worse." Ace blinked. "Oh wow, worse? They are pretty bad." They were. Mika hummed. "I wanna live there if they don't exist." Ace blinked. "Should… I be scared? This place sounds… bad." Whitebeard shook his head. "We will protect you. You are safe here." Ace let out a breath. "Good." They would keep him safe, he might be the key to getting their Ace back.
As he was on his way to talk, Dust came and landed on the railing, cawing and flapping his wings, making Mika look at him. "You don't feel Ace?" Dust nodded and cawed, and Ace frowned. "Did you just talk to a bird?" Thatch blinked. "You don't have a bird?" Ace blinked, before he pointed at himself. "I have a bird?" Thatch nodded. "Yes, you do. You have Dust." He said as he pointed at Dust, who looked at Ace, before he cawed again, before he flew to his nest, giving glares to this Ace.
They then tried to think logically on where to find the guy who did this, and Mika would make some calls, and went to do that. Then they tried to continue the day normally, but try and find this guy, and after a bit, Mika came back out. "Okay, a lead. We don't need to find this guy, we need to find a stick he has hidden here, and break it. It will reverse this." They all nodded, Ace talking "How did you figure that out?" Mika hummed. "Hanzo for the save. He knew one who went through this. Ace should also know this, so they are also searching." That was good. They then went on to search the entire ship top to bottom, trying to stay away from islands and other crews while they searched, to not lose this Ace.
It was weird to have this Ace. He was so… not Ace. He seemed rash and childish, which didn't fit with Ace at all. He was so… both calm and not at the same time. He looked more relaxed, shoulders relaxed and not seeming to have everything under control and not knowing everything that went on, his Haki mustn't be so strong. He also looked really confused at times, and their Ace never did, he always knew everything and could even think what they would think before them. This Ace didn't. He wondered how his Ace was doing in his dimension. He hoped he was fine.
After 3 days, them just finishing a third of the ship, Ace looked more and more on edge, not seeming to be the most pleased. When Thatch brought it up, asking how Ace was doing, Ace looked on edge. "I want to go home! I feel so alone! I know you're all really nice, but no one has hugged me!" Whitebeard blinked. Ace didn't really like physical touch, but this one might. He was about to speak, when Ace gave a sniffle and looked at Marco. "Can you hug me?" Marco blinked, before he nodded, and before another second passed, Ace was in Marco's arms, Marco being shocked for a second, before he hugged back. Marco clapped Ace on his back. "It's going to be okay, yoi. We'll get you back." Ace nodded. "I hope so. I miss my dimension's you." Whitebeard got that. This Ace seemed so… timid and unsure. His Ace wasn't like this. He wondered how he was doing. Ace must be annoyed, and he knew an annoyed Ace was bad. But then again, Trevor was there, so that might help. He hoped he would get them back soon.
Then, on the 6th day, Mika gave a loud swear. "Of course! Ace's room!" Marco frowned. "Only Ace has the key to that room, yoi." Thatch frowned. "No, you do too. And Pops." Marco blinked, before he shook his head. "No, he changed the locks…" Mika deadpanned, before she looked at Marco. "You moron! You actually locked yourself into his locked room!" Marco sighed. "Trevor said I should." Mika shook her head. "Moron. But let me try and pick it. But knowing Ace, it would be an unpickable one." Izou blinked. "That exist?" Mika nodded. "Yes. Let us check. Only commanders. Ace might have a few things that's… dangerous." Made sense, so they headed there, and yes, it was an unpickable one, even Izou, who was their most gifted, didn't have a chance. It was then decided they would punch down the door, so Whitebeard did just that, and would promise a new one for Ace. And would apologize for doing this.
Then they searched his room, Marco checking the closet, which he had been in before he said, and the most sensitive things would be. After a few hours, Thatch, who was now under his bed, gave a cheer. "Found it! I think." Thatch then held a red stick, and Mika nodded. "Looks right. Let's go out on deck and do it, we can't do it here, don't want Ace to see his room turned around." Made sense, and Ace looked happy as they headed to the deck, him having stayed in a spare room they had. As he didn't want to intrude on this Ace's room, which made sense. And it was good.
When they were out on deck, Mika, who now had the stick, handed it to Marco. "You do the honors." Marco nodded and took it, before he looked at him, and Whitebeard nodded back, making Marco look at Ace. "You'll be back now, yoi." Ace nodded and gave a thankful look. "Thanks." Marco then snapped the stick in half, before there was a light, like a flash, and Trevor stood there, that was good.
He was about to speak, when Trevor moved a hand out to Thatch, who was close. "Okay! You need to take a step back!" Thatch blinked, but did, and then there was another blink and Ace appared, who held his hands up. "I'm leaving to murder people." Then Ace was gone in black smoke, and they all looked at Trevor, and Thatch spoke confused. "Why did I need to take a step back?" Trevor took a breath. "Because I didn't know if he would have attacked you." Attack him? Why would Ace do that?
Thatch blinked, before he swallowed. "Why- why would he attack me?" Trevor held a hand out. "Okay, this wasn't you, but other you, I need to make that clear." Thatch nodded and Trevor continued. "Basically, you spit on Ace." Thatch blinked. "I what?!" Trevor hissed. "You spit on Ace." Thatch blinked. "What is wrong with other me?! You don't spit on Ace! You don't spit on anyone! That's wrong!" Trevor nodded. "Agree, but other you disagree. Ace so almost attacked him, barely keeping it together." Thatch shook his head. "Ace should have attacked." Trevor nodded. "I agree, but other him-" Trevor pointed at Whitebeard. "Would have been mad, I think. You seemed… more annoyed. But then again, Ace could have killed him pretty easily, as you were all so damn weak." That he could get, based on that Ace's strength. Mika was then glad to see Trevor, having missed him, which he got. Even he had missed Ace and Trevor.
Nothing happened for an hour, before there was a cloud of black smoke and Ace appeared, looking at Trevor. "Okay, I have my marks, I have Dust, are we back home? If you say no, I will freak." Trevor nodded. "99% sure we're home." Ace gave a loud breath. "Yes! We are home! Oh my God, never been as happy to see everyone as I am now." Trevor gave a laugh. "You gonna jump into their arms too?" Ace gave a shrug. "Might jump into Marco's. If we're home." Trevor nodded. "Pretty sure we're home. They had another Ace here. He was weak." Ace snorted. "They were all weak." Trevor gave a half nod. "True true." Trevor then gave a small chuckle. "You gonna jump into Marco's arms? I'm waiting." Ace turned to look at Marco, who opened his arms and Ace jumped into them, giving a laugh. "I've missed you so much." Marco gave a smile as he hugged back. "Missed you too, yoi."
When they parted, Trevor gave a chuckle, looking at Marco. "Also, other you were so rude." They all blinked, and Ace nodded. "Oh my God! Yes! So rude!" Marco frowned. "What did I do, yoi?" Ace looked at him. "You know how another me was here?" Marco nodded and Ace continued. "Did you ask him to have sex with you?" Marco frowned. "Why would I do that? That wasn't you." Ace nodded. "Correct, but other you did." Marco blinked. "I did what now?" Ace swatted Marco on the head. "It wasn't you you. But yes, he did that." Trevor shook his head. "So rude." That really was rude. Whitebeard looked at Ace. "Are you fine?" Ace nodded. "Yes, I am. A tad bit annoyed, but fine." He got that, that Ace was somewhat annoyed.
Izou moved his hand a bit. "Were we that annoying there?" Ace lifted an eyebrow, before he looked at Trevor. "Thought you said you would update them." Trevor nodded. "And I did. I said he spit on you. And the captain was annoyed almost all the time. Didn't like that guy. You are so much better." Said Trevor to him, and he nodded. He got that. Ace then nodded. "And so many people tried to hug me? Didn't get that one." Thatch moved his hand. "The one here was sad we didn't hug him. Almost begged Marco to hug him." Ace blinked. "Huh, makes sense. Weird place. But kinda nice, didn't seem as… evil." Trevor nodded. "Have to agree. No Blue Blooded Patricians, slaves were almost unheard of, and such. Kinda nice."
Ace then looked at Thatch. "I am not mad at you, okay? But other you, oh my God." Thatch nodded. "You should have punched him." Ace nodded. "I wish I had now." Whitebeard looked at Ace. "We also had to break down your door." Ace nodded. "Figured he would put it there here. We found it in the captain's room. We didn't think of that at first." Made sense. But for now, things were back to normal.
And that's the chapter, hope you enjoyed
This was a random idea I got a while back and just needed to do it, and I really hope it turned out well. The next will be how Ace had it, in the other dimension, which is more like canon world as you may have guessed. But it might be a bit late, but I am working hard on it and hope it will be out on time
Also, if you want, I can add more of the other Ace's interactions with the crew in the One Shot Series I have for this story
