The infamous Strawhat, man worth more beri than most rookies could dream of, who has defeated countless enemies thought above his caliber —— was currently tangled against a pole, his rubber limbs twisted in rather impressive knots. "Acceeee help meeeee... "
THE DAY had started rather pleasingly even being on board of his brothers ship and waken up in a mess of limbs because the doctor and Lu had decided to cuddle closer to the fire user during the night. Everything were the same —- The cook and Roronoa were fighting all over the place, Nami talked with Robin about some ‘cute’ clothes ( the firecracker frowned and rolled his eyes dramatically at that ), Chopper were currently admiring the cyborg together with the longnose while Brook was playing a soft melody on his violin with swift and fully drawn movements. All in all a pretty normal day for the straw hat pirates.
BUT SOMETHING was off — Or better someone was missing and Ace tried to figure out where his baby brother had bounced off to when he heard his voice wailing desperately across the deck. Finally making out the teens location, the raven had to blink a few times before he started laughing loudly, clutching his stomach with a breathless noise in between his carefree sounds of joy. That was probably the best sight that has ever greeted him even though he also felt pity for Luffy — It seemed to be uncomfortable even for the rubber pirate.
WALKING over laughing while wiping away tears, the commander couldn’t help but shoot Lu a gaze out of silvery hues filled with pure tenderness — The teen never failed to make him laugh, even in his most darkest moments. His laugh turned into a fond chuckle as he finally reached the younger male and started untangling the knots carefully.
❝ LET ME guess.. You tried to steal from the kitchen again? No worries, Lu.. Ace is here to rescue his baby brother. Tell me if it should hurt, ‘kay? I’ll try to be careful… Impressive knots though. ❞
INSTANTLY embracing the younger raven, Ace pressed his cheek against the dark locks of the smaller one and ignored everyone and everything around them. Only the fear, the slight pain he had seen in those dark brown orbs were important for the freckled man Guilt flickered through his expressive silvery hues. He had promised the younger D he’d live and nearly failed, he had broken his trust by making him believe he had died Closing his eyes he tried to find his balance again but it was a lost game and he let it happen, felt wetness on his freckled cheeks.
❝ I’M SO sorry, Lu… I don’t deserve to be your older brother anymore. I’ve failed you.. I’ve failed Sabo.. I’ve failed Gramps.. I’ve failed Pops.. I couldn’t keep my promise nearly and saw how my father died and weren’t able to do anything… You deserve someone who’s not cursed by the blood of a demon. Gol D Ace.. I should have died. ❞
HE WHISPERED, voice a mere shadow and so taunted by self hate that even Ace couldn’t tell if he had said all of these things. Strengthening his grip on the smaller frame of the Captain he pressed a kiss on Luffys head and took a few calming breathes, aware that the younger one would punch him if he’d continue saying such things.
Silently dropping down besides his sleeping brother, aware of the curious glances some of the strawhats shot him, Ace just stopped caring and blinked a few times. It was a wonder that his narcolepsy hadn't kicked in yet but he felt restless again, lost even and it left some visible effects on him. He was pale and seemed disturbed but no one commented on it. Ignoring the others with a sigh he laid down and just cradled Luffys smaller frame against his chest, smiled into the spiky but soft hair.
He was still sound asleep, but responding to his loved ones hardly needed consciousness, for it was simply nature to him — as easy as breathing.
Never could he forget the lessons Rayleigh took great pains to teach — how essential it was to be on guard at all times — but the warmth wrapping around him was nice, familiar, and he wasn’t worried. Instead he shifts closer to the source and slips into deeper slumber, an action as old as his bonds with his brothers, and a smile reflects on his own face — filled with love and trust like no other.
It wasn't often that Luffy was willing to share his food, but this was really good ice cream that Sanji just made, and he wanted Ace to taste some too. Unfortunately, despite his quick feet in battle he manages to trip over himself in his haste and the ice cream slips from his hand, and ends up all over the fire user. "...Opps. Shishishi. Anyways, taste it! It's good." Can't let good ice cream go to waste, after all.
❝ LU ! For Pete’s sake! Watch out where y’going!
❞
HEAVING OUT a sigh as he kept staring at the ice cream on his chest and stomach, he could swore he felt the stickiness already and frowned. Drawing his brows together in discomfort, grey orbs filled with disgust even, the pirate let a finger run through the melting liquid. It was just like he had predicted and feared It was sticky and felt unpleasant and stingy. Humming he shot Luffy a scolding glare and licked over his finger unconsciously, mildly curious for the taste.
❝ THAT IS fucking delicious! Did Sanji made that? I wanna have some! ❞
FORGETTING THAT he could burn away the sticky sweet smelling liquid on his tanned skin, the raven ran into the direction of the kitchen followed by his brother and demanded loudly for more. The firecracker let a grin flash across his freckled features as he stumbled into the room, Luffy hot on his heels. Stopping abruptly and causing the rubber teen to run into him, he bowed down after finding his balance again and tried to be really polite.
❝ CAN WE GET more of that Ice cream? Lu managed to drop it all on me .. ❞
It was practically inevitable, at Ace’s impressive display he couldn’t help but get distracted ( a leisure he was long used to taking, for this was his brother beside him and he knew he was safe ) With rapid attention he watched, as people just fell without Ace doing a thing.
Slip into admiration was easy ( no matter how many years past, his older brother was still so cool) but for once Luffy wanted to impress Ace. With that determination strong he winds up for a gatling gun, speaking loudly over the Marine’s shouts of rage, “That was cool, but I can do better! I’ll knock out a bunch of them at once, just watch me!” And he’s already stretching his arms backwards and just about to release his attack but—
“…But first you should do that thing again. How did your fist turn black?? How come all those people just fell asleep??? I want to see it again!!” He just couldn’t resist it, it wasn’t often he got to see Ace use a mystery power besides, there were lots of Marines left. Surely he’ll get his chance to be cool for Ace too. ( and if that sounded like an excuse to justify his brimming curiosity, he didn’t pay any mind ) “Right after I’ll show you I can defeat a lot of them! I’ll defeat more than you! …I just wanna see it once more first.”
SHOOTING the marines a confident glare, eyes stony and cold, he kept walking forwards and grinned grimly. A chuckle slipped through his lips as he heard Luffys claims and couldn’t help but turn his head to survey him shortly. Noticing the shine in those dark brown eyes of the younger D, he knew he wouldn’t let the topic slide and pester him until he’d tell him more about the fighting tactics the freckled pirate had used moments before.
❝ THIS IS my secret fighting technique, Lu. Not many can master it. ❞
HE VAGUELY answered and hissed in pain as the bullet moved in the wound. The raven knew he wouldn’t be able to keep fighting only with Haki, aware of the draining side effect of it. Looking around, he found a knife laying on the ground and gritted his teeth, thousand thoughts flooding his mind. Sighing in defeat after realizing that there was no other way to get away from here, he retrieved the silver weapon with a scowl on his face. Shifting his orbs over to the other pirate who was still throwing punches like he had never done something else, he cursed under his breath. He hated himself for even asking this of his younger brother, but he had to.
❝ I CAN tell you more when we’re out of here. I need to get out that bullet. Can you cover me for a second? They are too many marines. I can’t fight them only with my secret skills and you can’t fight them all alone and carry me away later, Lu. They are way too many…

THIS BLOG is shipping exclusive && shipping selective. I need a lot of chemistry to possibly see my muse getting romantically involved with someone else. I am a passionate person when it comes to my ships and I need the same passion for it in return.
Morever all of my ships who could be a problem for someone else are tagged with the shipping name / an easy to blacktag name! This is something important for me since I am cool with whatever you ship and write as long as you tag it accordingly so we have the chance to use xkit for some magic and can still follow you / each other! This is only for comfort NOT MEANT as an insult or an attack against anyone!
Triggers are all tagged with the trigger tw and a warning tag. If you have some triggers you need to see tagged & I don't tag them because I am not aware of their possible problem for you, please just shoot me a message and I'll tag it ASAP! This is also why I tag nearly everything I am not sure about with ask to tag / !!!
English is not my native tongue so please ignore my typos and don’t persuade me about them. It can happen that I misuse a word from time to time or have some grammar errors and I am really sorry about each of them, should they occur at all. I may talk and write a lot in English but it still isn't my mother language so some certain aspects are hard for me. I'm giving my best to LEARN MORE AND MORE and make sure my writing gets better and better!
You can always come & talk to me even though we’re not mutuals! Role playing is mutuals exclusive! But please, do not bombard me with too many messages or asks when I don't answer quickly enough for your taste. I have a rather busy private life.
I don’t like bashing/vague posting/hate on my dashboard. Please keep vague posts at a bearable minimum and don't bash a character only because you dislike it openly untagged. There are so called anti tags for each one!
I won't answer to non mutuals meme asks or write starters for non mutuals. This is simply for my comfort && my decision to do so.
Highly Selective with follow backs due to some bad experiences. I am NOT sorry for being like this and I won't answer anyone pestering me to follow them. (clean and safe dashboard)
OC-Selective && Really picky when it comes to writing with some. (I need an about page, muse page and a rules page)& I am EXTREMLY PICKY with canon related muses.
I am not sending out safe words but you can be sure THAT I’VE read all your rules. Reading rules is really important for me && So I’m always doing this before role playing with someone.
If I follow you it does not mean that I want to interact ( depends on the fandom! ) because it could also mean I simply enjoy your portrayal & writing and I won’t force anything. So please, don't feel pressured into following back or trying to write with me!
Used art is sourced.
NO SMUT WITH MINORS - Please, don’t lie about your age. It’s a crime to role play with you when you’re not old enough!

NAME DROPS.
IRUKAS. I won't follow you back / not likely follow you back if you're close to Nuu / Worship her. That's not because I wanna forbid anyone from talking to them, but I chose to keep my distance if you do.Do as you please, Pal. I don't wanna see / hear of them in any form. I've made my own experiences with them and it were nothing I'd wish anyone. Seeing their URL triggers me & brings back bad memories. I won't explain why in detail tbh. If you wanna know why - My IM is open.
HE HADnever 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.

About me & other things.
Sup, hun bun! The nam's Hobbit! Please use she/her ; they/them pronouns if you talk about me / to me. I am 22 years old, from Germany and currently on a permanent semi-hiatus due to work ( long shifts ).
Well you're surely itching to ask me, why I chose Ace of all muses to be my muse tbh! The answer is simple:
Ace is a character with many shades, facets and different ways to interpreter certain aspects about him. He's hot headed but can be also deadly calm, he is loud but also quiet, he is rude but also sensitive. He can be brave where others aren't and be a coward at the worst possible times.
What can I add tbh? I am a book worm, a writer, an artist, a safe heaven. Harry Potter; LotR; Hobbit - I live for those books and the amazing stories who're always able to show me different worlds, make me forget my own boring life for a while.
I swear I couldn't love you more than I do right now, and yet I know I will tomorrow.
