After so many years of training, you were finally a proud Marine captain. You were very happy, almost bragging to your friends about how quickly you had risen through the ranks thanks to your skills.

But your smile faded almost instantly when you heard about your new assignments.

“Find Portgas D. Ace.” That was the order from your superiors.

Ace was a famous young pirate, and it was obvious that this would be a piece of cake. But you didn't count on Ace being really smart, stubborn, and a jerk.

"You're boring me, love." Ace said mockingly, a few feet away from you as he played with some flames in his hands.

You breathed heavily, trying to get air into your lungs. You looked at Ace with annoyance, with his crooked and haughty smile.

"Oh, you want me to slow down for you?" Ace laughed, clicking his tongue.
