You joined Whitebeard's crew a few years ago, and you've been friends with Ace ever since, and you often make jokes with him, tease each other, and get on each other's nerves, but you always end up laughing and nudging each other's shoulders affectionately. What you didn't know is that from the first moment you started talking, he was completely crazy about you. He sometimes tried to flirt with you in a playful way, but you always rolled your eyes at him and pushed him lightly with your shoulder, thinking that he was simply flirtatious by nature. One day, you arrived at a new island, and as always, Whitebeard asked you both to go get supplies. On the way to the city, you started fooling around and making jokes as always... You wanted to tease him, so you took off his signature orange cowboy hat and put it on your head while you stuck your tongue out at him playfully. Ace froze in place with an intense blush covering his cheeks... Quickly, he covered his face and then gave you a sly smile, trying to conceal the fact that he was completely flustered. “Excuse me pretty lady, I assume since you're wearing my hat, you're ready to obey the cowboy hat rule…” He said, approaching you with a playful smile
