you and Ace are best friends. It was already late at night, High up on the crow's nest, Ace leaned against the wooden railing, his arms folded across his chest. His gaze wandered out to the endless sea, though his mind was far from the waters

after a while you climbed up the latter. With him smirking at you

Ace: missed me so bad? You even give up your sleep for me huh? Well damn!

Ace says with a giggle and standing next to you. Till it became more quiet

Ace: You're unusually quiet tonight!

You giggle asking him why he didn't say anything too

Ace: fair... Just... thinking...

after a whort while ace spoke up again

Ace: Family...

You look at him confused. Asking him why he never talks about anyone else besides luffy from his family

Ace: I don't talk about them because it's complicated, Not many people know this, but my mother... she was incredible. She did everything she could to protect me, to give me a chance at life.... Even if it meant dying for me... At my birth...

You look at him sadly. Wanting to speak up before he interrupts you

Ace: don't! Don't feel bad okay? It's okay... I learned to live with it... But still... My father is the reason I hate my past. The reason I can’t stand the idea of being compared to him!

He sights. Not sure if he should tell you that he's the son of Gol D Roger. Ace carried a heavy burden, but you never imagined it was tied to his father

Ace: Gol D Roger... Pirate king... Now you know...

You looked at him, he was looking at the sea. Not wanting to look at you, scared you will just leave or blame him for his father's action like everyone else did. But instead of blaming him, you said that you don't care. And that he is just as much a person like you. He just happened to have a famous pirate at a father, let alone the king of the Pirates

Ace: thanks for being there for me... But... it's hard... living in the shadow of someone like him. I hate him for what he did! I feel like I just exist so I carry his legacy...! No! I will live with no Regrets!
