Summary
Luffy reaches up and cups Ace’s face in his hand. Ace lets out a choked sound, reaching up and pressing it closer. This isn’t- this isn’t how it was supposed to go. Luffy wasn’t supposed to-
Luffy lets out one last breath. His hand slips from Ace’s face. His head falls back limply, a small smile on his face.
And something in Ace shatters.
-
A smile spreads across Luffy’s face, and it’s almost unnatural with how wide it is. Ace has seen Luffy smile a million times, but- none have looked like this.
And- against Ace’s wildest hopes-
Luffy’s eyes shoot open.

Summary
They take a step into the forest, and it’s like coming home. Ace takes a deep breath in, the scent of the trees surrounding them still familiar even after six years away. Luffy giggles and slips his hand into Ace’s. He mirrors the motion with Sabo, swinging their arms back and forth, and for a moment Ace is ten again, with his brothers as his whole world.
Ace glances over at Sabo- his brother is looking around the forest like he’s a little kid again, and Ace feels his smile soften. Sabo meets his eyes for a split-second, and there’s a suspicious shine to his eyes that Ace elects to not tease him about, just this once. “Welcome home,” Ace says instead. Luffy laughs brightly. Sabo blinks one, two, three times, and smiles, heartbreakingly sincere.
“I’m home,” Sabo says.
“We’ve gotta go to the treehouse!” Luffy exclaims immediately after, and starts pulling them forward. Ace and Sabo share a look, laugh, and indulge him.

(Or: After it all, Ace, Sabo, and Luffy return home.)

Summary
“What was he like when you were younger?” Jinbe asks, looking strangely intent as he stares at Ace. Ace stares back at him for a moment, before leaning his head back against the cell wall and smiling. Memories of him, Luffy, and Sabo running through the forest flash before his eyes, and nostalgia fills him. The months that the three of them spent together are Ace’s most treasured memories.
He grins, shaking his head and chuckling as he says, “Well, I guess if I’m going to talk about him as a kid, I should talk about my twin first.”
(Or: Ace calls Sabo his twin while in Impel Down and consequences happen.)

Summary
Trafalgar D. Water Law, twelve years old, woke up on the deck of an unfamiliar ship. Beside him lay the sleeping form of a big, mysterious man with striking red hair, a lot of scars on his body, and a huge metal arm.
Law didn’t know where he was. Clearly, he wasn’t on the Donquixote Pirates ship, the Numancia Flamingo, where he should belong. The beating of his heart quickened as Law tried to assess his situation. He might have been kidnapped.
