"Luffy... Sorry Lu he is one of my division and I responsible for him. Even he is a traitor." Ace told him.
"He is your responsibility but he is was once a Whitebeard crew and they also want some revenge for your friend." Anger were feel while Luffy try to talk sense to his brother. Ace cannot deny what he just hear from his little brother. True to be told, his brother sometime will talk into sense straight forwardly and what he said is logically true to the core. He sigh defeatedly.
"Luffy tell me what you see in this traitor." Ace hand over the picture of Marshall D. Teach.
Luffy glace at the picture his brother told him to see. Instinctly, his smile gone and he look seriously furious. He didn't like what he feel about that man. He know that man is dangerous and will harm other just like the Bluejam but even more.
"Luffy...?" ace instantly feel a killing intent flare from his little brother.
'This isn' t good... Lu...'
"I don' t like him. He feel something wrong... Like Bluejam but more..." Luffy said bluntly. Ace know to trust Luffy instinct. He curse slightly.
"Ace promise me don't go after him." Luffy said with his serious tone. Ace definitely don't like his tone.
"I won't but we are..." Ace said after considering what Luffy 's owlish eyes looking at his brother eyes to eyes like searching for some true behind his brother word. The feeling like looking into his soul making Ace really feel his little brother is somehow knew if he is lying or not. After a while, Luffy crave his usual grind.
"Ok. If your nakama is with you then you didn't break this promise." Luffy smile widely. Ace just shake his head and smile.
'That my Lu...'
"How can I die first ototuto if you haven't become King of Pirates? The three of us did promise right." Ace said while thinking about the promise that the three of them on the cliff.
"Yup. I will defeat your captain one day. Shishishi..." Luffy laugh away.
Present time...
Purru puru puru... Purru puru puru...
The sound of den den mushi ringging through from Ace backpack. He sail to the nearest island for a rest and take the call.
" Moshi... Moshi..." he answer.
" Your fire brain! Where are you?! I called you many time and you didn't answer, yoi." An angry voice echo through Ace ears. He sweetdrop.
"Aceee... (T. T)..." A sound of a man crying at the back.
"Thatch? You... You awake?! " Ace feel relieve and happy. A small tear gather at the edge of his eyes.
"They said you go after Teach. Come back Ace, please! I'm ok now. We can search togather. Please come back first" plead Thatch.
"I will hunt you where ever you are. Even I have to drag you to oyaji if I have to. You better stay where you are. We will come get you, yoi." The first Whitebeard Commander, Marco threatened Ace.
"No. Don't..." Ace said.
"WHAT!? WHY?" Thatch shouted and Marco just keep calm. He been trying to keep his anger down.
"Don't need to... I'm on my way back." Ace simply said.
"I drag you here... WHAT, YOI!? WHAT DID YOU SAID?" Marco shocked.
"I on my way back?" ace said slowly.
"Ok...? We wait you here... yoi..." Marco hung up.
"Ace coming back! Oyaji! Ace coming back!" Thatch run toward Whitebeard and yelled the news he got from Ace.
Whitebeard listen to his commander and smile. He look at Marco and Marco just shrugged his shoulder to say that even he didn't know why Ace is willing to come back by his own.
"Go prepare something for your brother. He must be hungry after the long travel." command Whitebeard to Thatch. Thatch smile widely.
"Yes, Oyaji! I make more food for him. How about we throw a feast?" Thatch suggested. Whitebeard just nod. Marco shacking his head fondly.
"Just try not to overexert yourself yoi." Marco said.
"Mother hen..." Thatch joking end up he being light punch on his head. Whitebeard just laugh away.
Few hour later...
The Striker come close to the Moby Dick. A smile plaster on Ace face for a while. He really miss his home. The thought of Marco angry form making him shudder a little. That mother hen on the Moby Dick really scary. He can imagine how Oyaji just laugh away and how Thatch will acting saddly by his action. A little laugh came out from his mouth. Shouting from above make him turn up his head. Namur lower the rope ladder so he can climb up.
After safely on the deck, he immediately being bear hug by one and only pompadour head, Thatch.
"Never do that again! You gonna give me heart attack!" Thatch said crying. Ace just sweatdrop by his action.
Marco looking at Ace without saying anything. Ace knew that Marco is angry with his action. He feel ashamed.
"Welcome back my son." Whitebeard said fondly. Ace looking toward the giant size captain of his.
"Thatch let go of me." ace tried to push Thatch away.
"No! You gonna run again. I won't let go!" Thatch hug Ace tightly. Ace rolled his eyes. Thatch really remind him of his annoying brother Luffy who really love the physical attention.
"I need to talk to Oyaji." Ace said. Thatch thinking for a while and letting Ace go slowly.
"You not gonna run are you?" He said again. Ace sigh.
"No I won't." Ace reply calmly. Marco just looking at their conversation quitely.
"Come Ace Oyaji and I need to have a talk with you." Marco said.
Ace shack his head. He facing Whitebeard with determination on his face.
"Oyaji, I know what I do is wrong and I disobey your command. But can we talk privately, please?" Ace looking at his captain for approval.
"Gurarara... Alright. We talk at my room." He agreed.
"But Oyaji yoi..." Marco not satisfied.
"Marco..." Just a word from Whitebeard makes Marco silence for a while. He looking at his captain to find answer. He knew maybe Ace have something important to share and it takes for a long time for Ace to open up with them. Marco just nod to tell his captain that he's understand.
Whitebeard lead Ace to his cabin. Ace following his captain and step by step he remember what Luffy said to him before they departed.
Flashback...
"Ace tell him." Luffy blurt it out. He confuse of what Luffy try to said after he tell the story of his journey and become on of the Whitebeard commander.
"What? What are you saying?" He wondering.
"Tell ossan about your dad." Luffy said bluntly. That shocking Ace.
"If you trust him, tell him. If he didn't want you join me." Luffy said seriously.
Luffy logic is simple.
"No I won't join your crew. If I be the captain maybe I will join." Ace said and tease along it.
"Hey, I am the captain!" Luffy pouting. Ace just laugh away.
"I tell Oyaji about it. Don't worry. If he didn't want me I just start all over again." Ace ruffle Luffy messy hair.
"Ossan won't reject you." Luffy said comfidencely and give Ace wide smile.
'You throughly my sunshine, Lu. If something happen to you i don' t know i can live like this again.'
Present time...
Ace snap out from his thought after Whitebeard let him into the captain cabin. After Whitebeard taking his seat and take some sipping from a bottle of sake he turn toward Ace waiting for an answer.
"Tell me my son, what you want to tell me." He asked calmly. Ace looking at Whitebeard with a serious look.
"Oyaji... The truth is..."
