It's been years since Ace's death and yet I still cry everytime...

The real tragedy of portgas D. Ace, his imposter syndrome, and how he died hating himself.

I feel like Portgas D. Ace is one of One Piece’s most tragic figures. Both for the way he died and the way he lived.

image

This child should’ve grown in a house of love, with a father that defied illness and a mother that defied fate. His birth was should’ve been something to be celebrated, yet he grew being hated for the crime of being born. 

image
image

Ace grew internalising the hate directed his way. They were right, he thought, and why wouldn’t he? No one in his life told him otherwise. With no communication between his caregivers, both absent in some way, both thinking the other will fill their shortcoming, and Ace grew hollow.

image

Sabo gave him something, a dream. To be a pirate, to be free to do what you want and be who you want.

To have my name reverberate louder and higher than anyone. To wipe the existence that gave me my existence, so that I might start anew.

image
image

Then came Luffy, who gave him nothing short of a reason to live . Someone needs it, this life of his. This thing that he never wanted nor asked for.

image

So he gave it to Luffy. it’s always been Luffy’s.   

Ace grew, but he never moved on. He still remembers what Dadan said, tired and drunk and out of her depth. He probably remembers what Deuce said as well, when they met the first time :

“—if your dad was the King of the Pirates, I’d understand why you’d worry, y’know? Because that guy’s the worst. I mean, I’d want to kill myself if that were the case.”

Deuce leanred not to mention it again, he learned how much it hurt Ace. But all the apologies in the world can’t take these words back. 

But Deuce loved him, all of them did, and the more crew members flocked to Ace like the sun, the more he thought :

This isn’t right. why are they here? Why do they follow me? 

They’re not following the real me, no one will. I’m just a fake, I’ve tricked all of them. 

This isn’t me. 

But it can be. 

I’ll just have to eclipse it. Erase it. Be bigger, and brighter, and burn it all away.

The more Ace was loved, by the spades then by the whitebeards, his desire to break the chains of his blood grew, and the more he couldn’t (the more his bounty rose and rose and rose so much for nothing) the more he hated himself, and felt like a fake.

image

Then his father opened his arms for all of him. And he found some comfort.

image

Even if everyone in the world hates him. He still has them, his father and his brother.

Then Thatch dies, and it’s his fault. Of course it is, why wouldn’t he think that? Never mind that no one knew the real Teach, not even his own father. 

Ace, so used to shouldering mistakes that are not his own, shouldered this as well.

image

His blood carries all the crimes of Roger. What’s one more? 

This was his fault too. It will always be his fault. 

image

So he has to fix it.

To Ace, his life was a never ending series of mistakes that began with his birth. That’s why he was so happy, so happy that people wanted him to live, that his family wanted him even after everything.

image

Portgas D. Ace spent the last seconds of his life consoling his baby brother, that he regrets nothing (not Sabo, not Thatch, not this war.) That he believes in him, and that he’s thankful. He was so happy that someone could love the one thing never could, and never will.

image

Himself. 

And the greatest tragedy of them all? For someone who so desperately wanted to escape, followed endlessly by the shadow of the man who ruined his life, to end up buried as another one of his father’s legacies. To die because of his first crime.

Being born.  

In twenty years. The world world will not remember the second division commander nor the captain of the spades.

They will remember Portgas D. Ace

image

The son of the pirate king.

Tomorrow, Before Yesterday Begins

Summary: Gol D. Roger expected himself to be in the afterlife after his execution. Instead, he found a seven-year-old boy wearing his most precious straw hat.

Tomorrow, Before Yesterday Begins

It was a fine day under the bright sun. He closed his eyes as he felt the warmth of its brilliant rays. The sea breeze was slowly blowing in his face. The skies were the perfect hue. It was light blue in color. He opened his eyes and stared at the seagulls flopping their wings in the horizon. People were all over the place but he did not mind them. He was just focused in the scenery. After all, it has been years since he was last here.

It was all too good for an execution.

He is going to die today.

He was never afraid of dying. Ever since he started his piracy life, he knew someday he was going to face death. A man should never gave up on his dreams even if it meant his death and he did fulfilled it. The only thing stopping him now, was his disease. He will die a year from now more or less. He was always the showy type of guy. He will surely do it with a bang.

He has been prepared for it for months now. There was no point in turning back. He always liked to live his life without any regrets. But still, he will die with one.

Gol D. Roger, the man who acquired everything. Wealth, fame and power. The man who is now known as the King of the Pirates, was facing his execution. After surrendering himself to the Marines, they decided to do it in this place.

Logue Town. It was his birthplace. The town where he was born and ironically, the place where he will face death.

Nostalgia struck the Pirate King hard. He remembered his childhood here. This place was the last island on East Blue before the Red Line. A lot of ships always docked here for supplies. Let it be merchants, cruises, marines or pirates. He always wanted to talk to people about their adventure. That was what inspired him to be a pirate. The sea just seemed to be a place where he can attain freedom. And he was glad that before he will die, he managed to succeed attaining freedom.

He walked in the plaza. A demeaning silence befell in the crowd. Even in his execution, Roger still carried an air of respect and fear among the people. A lot of people had gathered here for only one thing. To know where he put his treasure.

Among the crowds, Roger saw some familiar faces. Some of his crewmen were here to witnessed him. Most notably for him, two of his apprentices. Shanks and Buggy. He made a promise with them to not cry but it was obviously something that they cannot fulfill. Both of the boys had tears falling from their eyes like waterfalls.

When he was on the top of the platform, one of the guards talked to him.

"Have you got any last words?"

Roger turned to him and grin widely. He showed his handcuffs. "Can you please remove this? It's bothering me."

"I cannot do that!" The guard snapped.

"Why would I run away now?" Roger asked, scoffing.

He continue to walk a few meters before sitting in the center of the platform. It was taking too long.

"Hurry up and finish it." He stated.

The two guards move their spears. Ready to strike him any minute. Murmurs of people were heard. It became louder as seconds passed by. The atmosphere was tense as they stared atop of the platform with wide eyes. This was a historical moment. The death of the Pirate King in front of them. It was not something you experienced twice in your life.

And all of the sudden, the whispers broke. A man brave enough in the crowds started yelling.

"Pirate King! What did you do to your treasure!? It's somewhere in the Grand Line, isn't it? The greatest treasure in the world!"

"Shut up!" The guard barked, angrily below.

The man did not mind him and continued. "The One Piece!"

At that moment, everyone tensed up. It was the reason why most people were here today. Humans are greedy creatures. They always wanted treasures and money. If only that was the case for the treasure Roger left behind.

Laughter started erupting from Roger's mouth. That laugh. It was exactly the same laugh he expressed when he was on Laugh Tale. Too bad though, he did not have the time to tell the story of Joy Boy had left behind on the Poneglyp of the last island.

"My treasure?" Roger started grinning again.

"Shut up!" The guard shouted as he move his spear further closer to him.

"If you want it, I'll let it have for you! Go look for it. I left it all in that place."

The last thing Roger remembered, was the people's shout of excitement.

He started the new Pirate Era.

"Not fair, Ace! Again!" Luffy whined loudly.

"Tch," Ace rolled his eyes, annoyed by his younger brother's antics. "How many times do I have to explain to you that we only fight one hundred times?"

"Luffy, we need to go now. We still need to find dinner." Sabo said, erasing the scoreboard. A small grin forming in his lips.

"Why're you smiling like that, Sabo?" Luffy asked, tilting his head.

Sabo chuckled. "I beat Ace, of course."

"It won't happen again tomorrow." Ace stated, rolling his eyes. "C'mon you two. It's hard hunting when it's dark."

Luffy and his two older brothers, Ace and Sabo, just finished their training of a hundred fights a day. In the end, Luffy did not win any fights. Which was expected by now. While Sabo on the other hand, won two fights more than Ace.

They started going down a familiar path. And as usual, Ace was in the front. Sabo in the middle. And Luffy in the back. The forest of Mount Colubo. For them, this forest was home. They build their tree house from the tallest tree in here.

It has been months since they shared the sake cup that made them brothers. But for Luffy, it felt like it was just yesterday. He was glad to have them. Ace and Sabo they just kind of removed the loneliness he felt when his grandfather dropped him in the mountains.

"Shihihihi." Luffy laughed loudly. "Being brothers is awesome don't you think?"

Ace turned and looked at his younger brother. "Weirdo, why're you telling us that?"

"Yes it is, Luffy." Sabo laughed, ignoring Ace's comment.

Sabo and Ace started to have a conversation of their own. Luffy just silently followed them in the back. His eyes were glued on the trees. A lot of interesting things were seen in here. Luffy has always been a curious one. He wanted to know things that was not normally seen by him. Good thing for him, Sabo was smart and know how to answer most of his questions.

A small beetle caught the attention of the young rubbery boy. It was in one of the leaf probably five meters away from him. He stopped on his tracks and went over to the beetle. After all, it was not everyday you see an insect that was gold in color. It fascinated Luffy. He went over to the bush were the golden beetle was staying. Suddenly, the beetle started flying away. Luffy blinked a few times before he realized that the beetle was going away. He chased after it. It was an awesome beetle. He was wondering if he could keep it as a pet.

Unbeknownst to his two older brothers, Luffy was not following them anymore.

Luffy kept chasing after the golden beetle. He has never seen a beetle fly so fast. He gritted his teeth and clenched his fist. Breathing in, he ran faster. Adrenaline filled his body. He wanted that beetle and he will do everything just to get it.

After three minutes of chasing, Luffy was in the beach by then. The beetle finally stopped on a log that was probably brought by the waves. Luffy cannot helped but to grin. He will get the insect now.

Luffy's step was cautious yet fast. He needed to be careful. Beetles was easily started when you try to catch them. Opening his hands widely, he finally caught the beetle in his hands.

"Yes!" Luffy exclaimed in excitement. He started chuckling to himself.

He opened his hands but the beetle was not in there anymore. A deep frown was formed in the young boy's face.

"Huh? Where did Mr. Beetle go?" Luffy tried finding it again.

But suddenly, a loud groan startled him. It belonged to the log. He went over to see what was the source of the noise. Maybe his beetle friend was in there.

Instead of a golden beetle, Luffy found a man lying next to a log.

Roger expected to be in the afterlife after dying.

When he was younger, a lot of the older folks in town told him stories about death. One of them was the afterlife. It was the place where you will be after dying. The old men in the town would tell Roger that after he die, he will see his loved ones in that place. They were waiting for him. And then there would be a feast. There will be music, dancing, talking, and laughing. They will kiss and hug him as they celebrated his life.

He has been in a lot of places on the Grand Line. Everyone has different point of views about death. Reincarnation, nothingness, Hell or Heaven. But for Roger, the afterlife story was much more better and he was expecting that.

But things do not always go as planned.

His black eyes fluttered open. He blinked a few times trying to adjust to blinding light of the bright sun. He groaned loudly. A fierce headache ensued. He tried rubbing his head a few times. It seemed to help him even just a little.

Roger noticed a young boy sitting next to him. His black eyes were wide open as he stared at him. He has a jet black hair. His lower right eye has a scar that was probably got because of a cutting. The most notable thing Roger noticed was a straw hat. He also had one in the past but he gave it to his apprentice.

"Hi!" The boy greeted, quite loudly for Roger.

"Hello..." Roger tried to sit. It was kind of hard since his body was stiff but he manage. After all, it was only proper to sit when you were in the midst of a conversation.

"Hey, Ossan. Have you seen a beetle? It's gold in color and it fly towards you! I tried catching it but when I opened my hands, it just disappeared." The young boy ranted out with so much energy.

"No." Roger replied. "What's so special about the beetle you're talking about?"

"Because it is gold in color duh! You don't usually see a beetle like that!" The boy laughed.

A grin was forming in Roger's face. He already knew that he like this boy. The boy was full of enthusiasm. But still, he was a mystery to him.

"What's your name, lad?"

The boy blinked before grinning. He stood up and raised his hands on the air. The way he speak his next words, it was passionate and determined.

"I am Monkey D. Luffy. The man who is gonna be the next Pirate King!"

Pogtopia feels more haunted than a blown up L'Manburg...

my favorite place on the dream smp right now is abandoned pogtopia.

it is truly the one place that has been completely frozen in time. it hasn't been touched since November 16th, and you can feel the pain of that day embedded in the walls.

it feels wrong to even go back to it. you'd have see the remnants of c!wilbur. the buttons on the walls, the messy tunnel from pogtopia to manberg, the old potato farm, the pit, the spiral staircase used to even reach it. the chests and bed are still sitting at its entrance, almost completely untouched. the entire place essentially documents c!wilbur's descent into paranoia and mental decline, with c!tommy being a witness and a victim to all of it.

and yet, when people do revisit, they don't stay for long. it just feels so haunting. as if you shouldn't go back to it. you shouldn't be there, and the ambiance of the place let's you know that.
