Movement in the world Pt1. Ace (1/7)

Ace had turned 17; he could finally begin his journey.

He wanted to leave earlier, but because of a promise made to his teacher and because of an old agreement with Sabo, Ace had managed to remain calm.

He had grown a lot in these years.

Ace had a slender, muscular body with black hair and freckles on his cheeks. He wore black Bermuda shorts supported by an orange belt with a red "A" imprinted on the buckle. He also wore an orange hat with two smiley faces, one sad and the other smiling. The word "ASCE" with the S crossed out in honor of Sabo was present on the left arm. He also carried a knife on his left side and wore black boots. Since childhood, he had always worn an orange elbow protector. He wore an open yellow shirt, thus showing his trained physique.

He had not only grown physically, but he had also matured and was no longer the arrogant child of the past. All these years Ace had continued to take lessons from Makino to improve his behavior. Now he was a boy with a dazzling smile on his face, very different from his grim expression when he was a child.

Ace was near a small boat and was ready to go.

He said goodbye to everyone present and he put a backpack on his shoulder.

"In these years I will train hard, I will become stronger than you and the teacher!" Luffy who was nearby said to his brother.

"Hahaha you're going to have to work hard then," said Ace.

"Speaking of the master, did you warn him of your departure?" Luffy asked.

Ace smiled and said, "Not yet, I will warn him on the trip. I don't want him to find any excuse for not letting me go."

Ace was worried that Asdrerd still felt guilty about Sabo, and as a result, he was afraid Asdrerd would not let him leave.

"It would definitely be something Asdrerd would do!" Luffy laughed as he imagined the scene.

"Ok! I go now! The next time we meet, will be at sea." Turning around he saluted and jumped on his boat. Once he left, he continued to say goodbye until he stopped seeing the island.

Tens of minutes passed and Ace was thinking about his goals.

He wanted to find companions to trust and become stronger than the pirate king. Then he wanted to find information about Shanks and then find him and thank him for taking care of his little brother.

Not knowing where to start, he decided to stop at the first island he would see.

Once his thoughts were in order, he sat down and took a snail out of his backpack. Now that he was gone, he could warn Asdrerd without concern.

After almost a minute, Ace heard the other side of the call answer.

"Master, I'm Ace!" he said immediately, without waiting to hear Asdrerd's voice.

"Ace? Who are you?" A girl's voice came from the Den Den Mushi.

"Hm? Emh ... there is no Asdrerd?" Surprised to hear another voice, he immediately asked about Asdrerd.

He knew of Asdrerd's secret identity, he had to be careful not to reveal anything. He didn't think something had happened to Asdrerd. He knew his strength well.

"..." After a few seconds of silence, the girl called Asdrerd.

"Asdrerd there is someone named Ace who wants to talk to you!"

"..."

"He finishes a painting and arrives," said the girl.

A few minutes of complete silence passed.

Mysha found nothing strange in this, but Ace found it boring to watch the snail and do nothing, so he started talking.

"If I can ask, who are you?" He asked respectfully. He had learned from Makino how to deal with girls. He always had to treat them with respect.

"I'm Mysha; I've been traveling with Asdrerd for over two years." Since Asdrerd had agreed to speak with this boy, Mysha understood that they knew each other and therefore decided to reveal something.

It was also the perfect opportunity to find out more about Asdrerd.

"How did you meet Asdrerd?" She churches.

"He is my teacher. We have known each other since childhood." Ace like Mysha didn't know what to reveal, so he only revealed the basic information.

Hearing that he knew Asdrerd from childhood, Mysha asked, "So do you know his secret?"

"..." Ace didn't know what to say. He certainly could not reveal the Color Criminal. Maybe the girl meant something else with the secret...

"From this silence, I assume yes! Don't worry, I know it too." Understanding the reason for the silence, Mysha lowered her guard completely.

However, Ace was still suspicious.

"What is your relationship with the master?" He wanted to understand if he could trust this girl. Maybe he had stolen Asdrerd's Den Den Mushi and just wanted information.

"NO! It's not as you're thinking! I'm just part of his crew." Mysha said to the Den Den Mushi, denying her thought. She was thinking about Asdrerd's proposal on her island and the wedding dress she bought at Water 7.

"? Asdrerd has a crew? I would not have ever expected! I have never heard of this crew. What's its name?" He had never read anything about Asdrerd's crew, this matter seemed strange to him. He decided to try to understand the girl's intentions.

"Mmmm. We still don't have a name and not even a flag. We have just finished building our ship."

Mysha was now sure of it. This boy knew Asdrerd well.

Feeling that the girl could not give the crew's name, Ace began to become more suspicious.

"How many are you?"

Even though she understood that it was a knowledge of Asdrerd, Mysha certainly could not reveal Xott. She ignored Number 6 has as always.

"Two. Asdrerd and me!"

"So ... you've been with Asdrerd since he left the island," said Ace.

"Yes ... but it's not what you think. -s- "

While Mysha was speaking, Asdrerd picked up the Den Den Mushi.

"Hey, Ace!"

"Master!" Hearing Asdrerd's voice, Ace lowered his guard and stopped thinking about Mysha.

"Yes, I am." Asdrerd knew that Ace wanted to tell him something about his departure. It was time.

"I read your feats. Soon my name will also be as famous as yours. With me around, it will not be so easy to end up on the front page." Ace joked about Asdrerd's exploits.

"I'd like to stop ending up in the newspaper ..."

"Hahaha, anyway... I wanted to inform you that I started my journey."

"I understand."

A strong wind began to blow on Ace's side. It was not a sudden thing. Ace was unable to notice because he was focused on the girl who had answered his call.

Shortly after while Ace wanted to ask about Asdrerd's crew, a strong wind started to blow and the water stirred.

* 𝐁𝐋𝐎𝐏 *

While Ace was trying to keep his balance the Den Den Mushi had fallen into the sea.

This was the beginning of Ace's journey.

He ended up on Sixis, a deserted island. On this island, Ace would have eaten his fruit and known Masked Deuce, thus founding the pirates of spades.

Asdrerd didn't know this story since he wasn't a huge fan of the One Piece story. He just remembered the important events and some characters.

Despite this, Asdrerd was not worried. Even if he didn't know what would happen, he was sure that nothing serious could happen.
