Chapter 1: Oops

Luffy watched Kaidou fall into the pit of lava beneath Onigashima. Finally, finally he had beaten the dragon, the Emperor of the Beasts. Momo's country could finally breathe a sigh of relief. The factories that polluted the water, the air and the land could finally recover. It was the right thing to do.

Luffy took a deep breath before releasing it. This new form he had found felt wonderful. Yes he was exhausted after such a long battle but it was worth it. Ace would've had so much fun. He thought absently. Ace would be so happy that Wano was free and that Tama could eat tasty food without worry. Luffy felt his heart thump faster in his chest at those thoughts. His big brother was his one failure that would forever haunt him. Never again did he want to lose those he loved. Lifting his hands up to look at them before noticing how his clothes had changed to white. Luffy finally took in everything that had changed about himself. He wondered what Ace would think about his new powers. His powers that had finally awakened. Had Shanks known he could do this? The man that inspired him greatly, had he known what his powers could do or what he could achieve with them? Laughter began to bubble up his throat at these thought. No. The answer had to be no, because even after eating the Gomu Gomu no Mi nobody had stated what it could do because according to the books it was only said to have rubber like abilities.

Luffy giggled again and again. His insides still felt like somebody was tickling him from the inside out. He felt as if he could fight for hours more. He knew that he should rest. That only thirty or so minutes ago his heart had stopped. He should be dead, but he wasn't. He wanted to see his limit for this new ability. Oh, I wish Ace or Sabo were here. I've never fought Ace and won. He thought sadly. The grin on his face hadn't vanished yet though. I don't know if I could defeat Sabo in this form. It would be fun to fight my big brother. Another infinite bout of laughter hit him. Grasping his stomach, Luffy threw his head back ant that thought and just laughed when suddenly it felt as if someone was pulling him upwards but also inwards. What the hell was this feeling? His eyes closed as his heart beat funny.

Thump. Thud. Thump. Thud.

Opening his eyes, Luffy noticed the lanterns from before were getting further away from him. What- Luffy couldn't understand why it was getting further away. The pulling sensation continued until suddenly he felt like he was falling. There was a tiny dot getting brighter and brighter.

"I can't believe I ended up like this with somebody who came to kill my father." Luffy blinked in confusion. That sounded like Yamato but he was with Momo.

"Oh? So you love your father?" That voice sounded…like Ace's.

Luffy reached out towards the voice. Ace? He thought sadly.

"When we were young, he really caused me a lot of trouble." Ace's voice sounded happy.

"Your brother is so interesting!" Yamato laughed.

"Yeah. Isn't he?!" He sounded proud.

The bright dot got larger. Their combined voices got even louder, Ace's laughter especially got louder than before. The dot suddenly exploded with color. A cliff side with two people sitting on the rocks. A single boat, familiar boat sitting in the bay below the two people. The one looking upwards laughing clutching his stomach. Ace? Luffy thought. The familiar ostentatious bright orange hat with the smile and sad pins on it.

Excitement filled Luffy. Did he pass out and was now dreaming of his big brother? It wouldn't be the first time it's happened. He did a quick look at himself and realized that he was still in his newest gear form. Fuck it. Shaking his head he suddenly grinned broadly before he released a yell "Shishishishi AAAAACE!"

Ace looked upwards. Dark brown, almost black, eyes suddenly widening. Jaw dropping in shock. No. Freaking. Way. Were Ace's only thoughts before suddenly a white puff of sunshine with stretchy limbs grabbed him and pulled Ace close. Face pressed against a giggling stretchy body. "L-Luffy!?" Luffy's laughter filled the bay area.

Yamato's jaw dropped. This is Ace's brother? Excitement filled his body. Face turning slightly red from his excitement. He had so many questions. However watching the two brothers was so much more entertaining. Especially with Ace's face reddening the more his brother held him close.

M-Angel: So how was that for a first chapter? I'm hoping this story is a bit different from the other "fit-it" stories out there.
