Ace always knew his life and destiny was the sea, vast and without ends for him to explore with freedom.

He never once thought of settling down, because he had been born a pirate, a child of the Sea as his Pops referred to those free souls. Plus he was determined to bring Blackbeard to justice for his disloyalty towards the Whitebeard pirates, so he had better things to do and think of.

Or so he thought.

Imagine his surprise, stumbling against you, looking like you were on the run while wearing a wedding attire.

He hadn't meant to, but his mind unconsciously went to that place for the first time in his life, a place that looked and offered another type of comfort he hadn't experienced, a more intimate one that was only shared between couples.

And he didn't knew if it was his brain pulling tricks on him, but the way his imagination was painting it, it didn't looked bad at all.
