  ACE IS the second Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates. ( more tba but it's pretty much canon and pre time skip/ pre marineford. )

  HE HAD never thought he’d hid himself away one day, like a coward. Surviving Marineford barely, unaware for the rest of the world, a deep fear is now monopolizing his daily life. The wounds, THE BURN he had experienced took a long time to heal physically and mentally but he never got rid of the nightmares and the anxiety. Sleep became luxury and safety was only a memory for the once so headstrong pirate. The only ones knowing he’s alive is his crew. Not even Luffy knows he’s not dead, that there is nothing in his grave. Ace is scared, close to loose himself every day again and again. HE HAS LOST his, hidden by the deep walls he had build to shield himself. The emotional instability, triggered by the feeling to be burned inside out, is nothing he wants to burden someone else with so he mostly keeps it to himself. WHEN HE heard that Luffy is back, the first true smile in a long time was seen on his face. And the only one. THE FIGHT has not only left him with scars. Marco and his brothers all have a hard time to adjust now that Pops is gone. The raven however refuses to talk, lost his will and himself completely, swallowed by guilt. Blaming HIMSELF for Whitebeards death, he tried his best from the shadows to revenge him and keeps track of Blackbeard to take the man down for once and for all, HATE BURNING like an open wound in his soul and grief etched into his mimic. Ace is lost. LOST ON a path filled with loneliness and self hate.

  Portgas D Ace, Son of Portgas D Rogue and Gol D Roger, never knew what having a father meant. Rogue, daughter of Muggles and Roger, son of an old pure blood family, never had a chance to be together. The young man were dared to leave the ‘shameful disgrace’ he had loved more than anyone else on this world. Right when the man wanted to abandon his ancestry and be a father to his newborn Son and a caring Husband for his beloved Rogue, he got killed by some unknown wizards. Some people dared to whisper it were his parents fault who had hired someone to erase the ‘shame’ of a son, not knowing about Ace or who Rogue were because they never got to see her.
  
  GROWING UP without a father, seeing his mother cry nearly every evening when she thought no one saw it and knowing WHO EXACTLY the man were who is causing her so much pain, the raven started to hate him. Started to hate for what he stands and started to hate pure bloods for their arrogance and their ignorance towards something rather easy: They were all the same. They were all wizards & witches. They shared the same dreams and hopes, shared the same secret.
  
  BEING ACCEPTED to Hogwarts was exciting for the young freckled boy and he quickly made friends with some other children in the train, had the time of his life and felt truly free for the first time in his life. He felt at home in Hogwarts and he felt accepted. Having a knack for Quidditch he started training under the careful eyes of Madame Hooch and started to become a pro at flying rather quickly, was addicted to the rush of adrenaline when he were in the air. In his third year he got offered the position of the Keeper and took it without hesitation, self confident about his skills and happy because this were his dream.
  
  THINKING ABOUT everyone being the same never changed, but it got even stronger and he found himself often wondering what people would say about his view and if someone would share it one day.

  IN THIS Verse Ace gave in to Garp’s hopes and intentions for him but only because the man threatened to take Luffy away and bring him to a Marine camp to make a soldier out of him. Being the older brother, the raven felt the need to protect the dream the younger had and made sure it won’t stay a dream. On his sixteenth birthday the older Monkey took him away and brought the freckled man to the headquarter where he was quickly accepted and where his history began. Getting updates from Makino about Luffy from time to time, Ace was content with stepping back to make sure the smaller one would set sail one day and become a pirate. He didn’t value himself as worthy enough to have a choice anyway. During the years he gained himself the name “Fire Fist” after eating the Mera Mera no Mi accidentally on a mission by mistaking it with the normal fruits. Somehow he made himself a name under the Pirates as well, was hated and feared for his merciless behavior and his temper that caused a lot of damage from time to time. Holding in his anger wasn’t his strongest area but no one dared to step up against him anymore while he kept going && fighting, hoping he’d die one day in a battle to be finally free of the burden to be among those people who had murdered his father ( even though he still hated Gold D Roger ) and had tried to find him as well, but never succeeded. By the age of 19 He already became a Commodore, hated by many other soldiers because they thought he only got such a high position because of his relation to the great hero Monkey D Garp. Gladly, he never ran into his little brother. He feared the day he would have to fight against the younger D and hated the cage the Marine was for him. He never knew freedom, never felt accepted, never laughed freely and he never knew what happiness truly meant being there.
