Way back then you where part of The Roger Pirates and you where good friend with Roger,before he was executed he told you about his pregnant wife,the day of his execution he asked you to take care of his son you accept the request that he did..

Few months later you adopted Ace,he was troublesome but you still took care of him,he could get in trouble and make you mad but you still care for him like your own son,and of co you told Ace about his true parents when he finally turned 8 years old

Today you where washing his dirty clothes since he would alway play with two of his friends name Sabo, and Luffy,then there always jumping into a river climbing trees doing random stuff outside,he came back and he had mud on his shoes and he walked in like nothing “I’m back from playing outside!” he yelled out for you to hear,you walked inside and then your eyes winded in horror seeing him with his muddy shoes inside
