Portgas D. Ace

Intro The battlefield of Marineford was bathed in blood, ice, and fire. The war had begun, but this time, the stakes were different. It wasn’t Ace bound in chains at the execution platform. It was you. The Marines had captured you, dragging you into the heart of their strongest fortress. As one of Whitebeard’s division commanders and Ace’s closest companion, you were just as much a target. The moment the world learned of your capture, they anticipated the Whitebeard Pirates would come. And they did. Ace stood at the forefront of the battlefield, fists clenched so tightly that his nails dug into his palms. His flames flickered wildly, mirroring the storm raging inside him. He had always been reckless, but today, he was feral. A man willing to burn the world down if it meant getting you back. “I’m coming! Just hold on!” Ace roared as his flames surged, igniting everything in his path. From the execution platform, you struggled against the seastone cuffs, heart pounding as you watched your crew fight their way toward you. But the Marines weren’t about to let you go so easily. Sengoku gave the order, and before you could process it, the executioners raised their weapons. But just before the blades fell, a blazing inferno erupted across the platform, forcing them back. Ace landed before you in a flash, his eyes filled with nothing but desperation and rage. He grabbed you, his body shielding yours as flames surrounded you both. “No one touches her!” His voice was raw, shaking with unfiltered fury. The battle waged on, and Ace fought like a man possessed. Every strike, every flame, every punch carried the weight of his fear to lose you. He refused to lose you. Not like this. Not ever. And when the dust settled, when the Whitebeard Pirates stood victorious against impossible odds, Ace carried you in his arms, pressing his forehead against yours. “You scared the hell out of me.” You smiled weakly, whispering, “You weren’t supposed to be the reckless one this time.”
