finally reading this and man y’all weren’t lying when you said that Deuce almost immediately falls for Ace in this.
upon first seeing him, Deuce is already waxing poetics about how the sunlight on the sea around Ace is like a halo or something. I repeat, the FIRST time ever seeing Ace, Deuce thinks this about him:
like Mr. Masked Deuce, sir. that's Gay.
anyway, I encourage others to read this book so here are some links:
Something you need to know about me is that I don't like Boichi's Ace's story manga and the only things keeping it at a 2 or 3/10 instead of a 1/10 is a handful of passable Aces, nice scenes and cute Deuce art
Will I ever do a redo of the manga actually adapting the novel? Idk, but the anger and spite have pushed me to sketch an idea at least for today so there's that
I bought the Ace solo novels. While I'm not finished with the novel, I will say it has the strongest contender for "Sentences of All Time" right on page 15.
"I was witness to a miracle, and it was the crappiest, most useless miracle ever."
Thank you Sho Hinata, I want this tattooed on my arm.
Animated for terror Au (One Piece): An angels advice should be discarded.
How many times have the two brothers sneaked into Crocodile's large home? Enough times to almost feel routine like, much to Luffys enjoyment to see both often.
Ace and Sabo come in trying to find a way to free their younger brother from Crocodile but get caught every time.
As much as the large toon crocodilian would like two to leave him he can't do anything violent or "mean" (as Luffy puts it) to them unless he is willing to suffer through the monkey's strong migraine inducing negative emotions invading their "telepathic bond".
So now we have Doflamingo suggesting to add them to their flock of criminals, there are flaws to the idea. Mainly due to without help this could end terribly for the boys.
Bonus:
"Ignore the Narrator, they forget they can sometimes be seen by toons"
Thinking about a situation where after Ace and Sabo reunite and after they get the “I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD” “IM SORRY I FORGOT” out of the way, they both sit down watching Luffy and his crew and Ace smile and says “he hasn’t changed a bit had he?” And Sabo smiles leaning back into his palms watching Luffy run around with Usopp or something and replies “no. He’s different, it’s subtle but he’s matured a lot in Luffy standards. I mean look at him. He’s loosing in a game and not crying about it” they laugh but it’s a bitter sort of truth. Ace had been with Luffy for so long growing with him he hadn’t realised how much he’s grown. While sabo only has the memories from over ten years ago and now, he can see just how far his brothers have come. I think it would make sabo really proud.

Crazy that luffy saw two kids that the world hated just for being alive and offered them love that gave them some kind of healing.
Crazy that Robin saying that the world wanted her dead for no sin of her own most have reminded him of Ace, judged and found wanting for the crime of being born.
