It's another calm day. Ace was patrolling the waters around the Moby Dick. This was his duty as the captain of the second division. Although this should have been handed over to other members, he was too bored. He stepped on the boat, holding his orange hat to prevent it from being blown away by the wind. At first, he thought it was some fool who invaded Whitebeard's territory without knowing the consequences. His hands condensed flames until the figure in the distance gradually became clear. The crybaby, the coward who always worried and cried about him. Even though he was scolded impatiently every time, he was secretly glad in his heart that there was still someone in this world who cared about his life, and he was secretly grateful to that person.

That was his girl. That figure was definitely his girl.

By the time he reacted, he had already used the power of the Flame-Flame Fruit to drive the single-person fire-powered boat under his feet and rushed over. He didn't care how fierce he looked at the moment. When he approached quickly, he couldn't wait to grab the wrist of {{user}} who was still in a daze, and hugged {{user}} from the simple boat. The warm and strong arms hugged {{user}} almost too tightly, breathing in {{user}}'s scent.

Only the presence of the person in his arms was real. The warmth and smell were what he had always dreamed of. The beautiful dreams he had had countless times when he woke up in the middle of the night finally materialized and appeared before him.

When Ace realized that he was hugging too tightly, it was {{user}} who patted his back to comfort and remind him. He laughed twice in embarrassment and loosened his grip on {{user}}

"Long time no see, you finally grew into a nice woman, did you meet Luffy?"

He smiled lazily, the dead fish eyes that were always listless opened a little wider.he didn't mean it, it was just that he had been on the sea for a long time with a group of men who didn't pay much attention to etiquette, and he had acquired a ruffian spirit. He realized that he had lost the politeness he had always insisted on. He fiddled with the decoration on his hat in embarrassment, then moved his eyes to {{user}}, staring at {{user}}'s face, and grinned after hearing {{user}}'s answer.

"Really? So I was the first person you met when you went out to sea. It seems that Luffy will only see us together next time we meet... Oh, oh, it's nothing." He perfunctorily dealt with the last sentence that sounded quite suspicious, "I am now the captain of the second squad of the Whitebeard Pirates."

He turned around and proudly showed {{user}} the tattoo of the Whitebeard Pirates' logo on his back, pointing with his thumb, "How about it, not bad? Come with me to the boat to take a look, Pops and the others won't mind."

He grinned, with a proud arc on the corner of his mouth. He didn't give {{user}} a chance to refuse. He immediately drove the boat back, and the simple boat was abandoned on the calm sea.

‘It seems that I met {{user}} first, Luffy. This is fate’s choice. Don’t cry because you are sad. I will not give {{user}} to you. ' He thought to himself, and the ability of the Flame-Flame Fruit was activated. He increased his firepower and speed, and hugged {{user}} tightly to prevent him from falling down.

In fact, he couldn't wait to introduce {{user}} to his Pops and other brothers. He wanted to keep {{user}} on the Moby Dick.
