Chapter Text
When Ace opened his eyes he was met with the sight of wood. Not that from his treehouse. It was also not Dadan’s or Makino’s. What the hell!
He sat up. Where was he? Had he gotten kidnapped by some strangers without knowing? Did they have Luffy too? He needed to get up. He needed to find his brother.He could be in danger.
He quickly got out of bed. He almost fell over as he did. Why did his body feel so weird? Why did he feel so tall? Why did he have a bed? He clumsily walked over to a door which happened to lead to a small bathroom. He looked in the mirror. He had to quickly put a hand over his mouth to keep himself from screaming.
He had tuned into a pineapple man. Holy shit. What the hell has happened to him? Why was he this pineapple man? This couldn’t be real. He looked again at his reflection. His hands traveled all over his face, from his little beard hairs to his yellow pineapple hair, trying to find a fault in the mirror. But the mirror did the exact same as he did.
He had to be dreaming. No, he shouldn’t lie to himself. He knew that he couldn’t come up with this. He really was kidnapped and put in this weird grown up body or maybe a devil fruit? Anyways he needed to get out of here. But how?
What would Sabo do? Blend in and gather information. Yeah!
He walked to what looked like a closet and pulled out a purple vest and some pants. The only shoes he could find were some, very difficult to put on, sandals.
He looked around the room to find any clues about the person he was supposed to impersonate. There was a desk with paper on it. If only he could read. He found a bed, on which he may or may not have sprung on (he’d never seen a bed before).
He jumped in surprise when someone barged in “Hey birdie! Scared ya didn’t I? You were late for breakfast so I brought you some.” Birdie? Was this guy named birdie? Shit, he was supposed to do something. He slowly walked over to this white clothed man with weird ass hair. What was with the hair? First this pineapple guy and now some guy with cannon style hair. He brought his hands up, but instead of taking the tray of food he hit the cannon haired man as hard as he could.
Cannon hair gave a surprised yelp before his fist connected with his face. The man landed with a loud slam again the wall, hopefully unconscious. The tray with food fell to the ground with a loud thud.
Ace should have known better than to expect that cannon haired man was alone, because before he knew it another weird man (at least he thought so) with some pink clothes came in. He grabbed pink dress guy by the neck and slammed him against the wall, holding him up. “Who the fuck are you and what the hell do you want from me?” Ace demanded. It took a few second for him to realize that the pink man couldn’t answer, because he couldn’t breath. Ace softened his grip, but didn’t let go of him. “Marco, what the fuck?” Pink guy asked.
That wasn’t what he wanted to hear. “Answer the question pink man!” Pink man struggled in his grip but to no avail. Ace knocked the guy out when he realized that he wasn’t going to get an answer out of him. Screw him.
He walked to the door and stuck his head out of the room, looking if anyone else had heard him. When he saw that nobody was he walked out of the room, closing the door behind him and speed walked away. He walked around for a bit but found himself lost.
Where the fuck was he? It felt like this was a ship with the rocking of the waves, but that meant that he was on the ocean.
After what felt like an eternity he found some guys. He pointed to one. “You there.” The guys looked at him. “Show me the way to get the fuck out of here.” The guys stared blankly at him for a while, exchanging glances with each other. “Are you idiots deaf or something?”
One guy shakes no. “Well, then show the to get out of this dump.”
“Take that path, than a right, a left, stairs, more stairs, left and stairs.”
“Okay. Did you kidnap another boy?” The guys shock their heads negative. Most of the worries Ace had had immediately disappeared.
Ace turned and walked away, but before he walked out of sight he gave one glance back. “If you tell anyone about this than I’ll murder the shit out of you, understand?” The guys nodded.
Everyone of them was silent until they were sure that Commander Marco was gone. “Did that really just happen?” One asked.
“I think so?” The second guy said questioningly
“I think we should leave and...you know, not tell anyone. I think that commander Marco is having a really, really bad day.” All the other guys agreed.
Ace walked the path that one guy described and eventually got to the upper deck. His eyes widened in surprise. He really was on the sea. He was sailing. He quickly took notice of the many people around him. There were so many. How was he going to get away unnoticed?
One of them stood particularly out. A giant old geezer in a chair. He was probably the strongest. If he could take him out than the rest would surely follow.
He found a beautiful sword somewhere laying around and grabbed it. He weighed it in his hand and swung around with it a few times. He smiled a little to himself. He had a real sword. Luffy would be so jealous. The only people he had ever seen with a sword were the guards, Pochemy and Bluejam. Now he was actually holding one.
But a sword meant that this whole crew had to have weapons. That meant that they weren’t civilians and they weren’t marines. Ace looked around for a bit. Gotcha. A pirate flag with a mustache on it. These people were pirates. He was sure as hell going to take down this rival crew that kidnapped him and turned him into the guy Birdie.
He noticed that he had quite a few eyes on him. One guy stepped forward. “Is something wrong with my sword, commander Marco?” Commander Marco? Was that guy talking to him? He had a title? Was this pineapple mans name Birdie Marco?
“No, but I’m going to need it for a bit.”
He walked to the giant, before full out charging. He heard a few gasps around him. With the sword above his head he swung out to the giant who was seriously surprised and quickly blocked it with black skin. Shit, he had blown his element of surprise. “Marco, what exactly are you doing?” Giant man asked. Tsk. This mustache man also thinks he’s this Marco. He’ll show him.
“Fight me, you shitty old fart!” Absolute silence. Nobody said a word. The giant in front of him burst out laughing, followed by the rest of the crew. “What the fuck is so funny?”
The giant looked at him. “And who may you be?”
Giant man didn’t even know who he was. He should have known if he was going to kidnapped him, because Ace sure as hell wasn’t going to give his name away. “I’m commander Birdie Marco.” Ace said seriously.
Everyone was laughing twice as hard now. His face had gone completely red. “Shut the fuck up before I beat you all senseless!” There were people now laughing on the ground with tears in this eyes and hitting the deck. Some had even trouble breathing.
Ace charged again with a battle cry to the old man. He counted his attack again and pushed him back near the railing.
Ace realized something. He could see an island from here. If he were to jump ship he could just swim there. He would have liked to fight these guys, but after these two attacks he realized that these guys were a lot stronger than him. Cannon man and pink guy had to be one of the weaker ones here.
He grinned. “Suck dick, you shitty old fart.” He stuck up his middle finger before making a nose dive towards the sea.
A splash was heard and he knew he had landed in the water.
But why couldn’t he move?
