3 months later in Long Ring Long Land.

???: Hey have you guys heard?

???: Heard about what?

???: It seems that there is someone new super strong pirates.

???: What do you mean?

???: Here in the journal. One of them is Sabo the captain of the Diamond Pirates he uses a staff and he ate the blood blood no mi which is the fruit of blood he as an bounty of 100.000.000 Belly, then we have Portgas D. Ace who is the captain of Spade Pirates he uses a spear and he as the Mera Mera no mi which is the fruit of fire he also has an bounty of 100.000.000 Belly.

???: So that is it? I already knew about them.

???: But you haven't heard about this one. This one begun his journey by defeating Arlong, after that he faced Vice-Admiral Strawberry and at the same time he changed the mindset of the World Noble Shalria, then he saved Alabasta Kingdom by defeating the Shichibukai Crocodile.

???: So those achievements aren't that great. It says that he face Strawberry but he probably throw a rock at him then ran.

???: But there is a catch that when he face Strawberry he broke Strawberry sword in a single clash. While he still doesn't have a Devil Fruit he uses a sword and from the looks of it he is very good with it, then we have his crew where it's nothing especial if not for the 'giant' they possess. It's said as well that he possesses a boat that can fly which was the last time someone saw his crew. His bounty is of 200.000.000.

???: So what i bet that is just luck if he faces either Sabo or ace he will just lose.

As they were talking a group of people passed through them.

???: It seems some guys have brain to know that our captain could totally defeat that pretty boy. He doesn't even have a Devil Fruit.

???: Ahahaha. Believe me that if he were here i wouldn't want to face him and recommend neither of you to challenge him.

???: But Captain Ace.

Ace: If you truly knew him. You would knew his terror. And his crew most be as scary as him, after all I and Sabo wanted to join his crew in the beginning but he didn't want to.

Bang

Bang

???: Sis i told you that i am sorry.

???: I told you before to not kid around.

Boom

???: There! If you had done things this way it will be more faster.

As Ace and his crew were walking they encountered that in front of them stood a 'giant' and a woman that were facing a couple of thugs that seem to be wanting to do shabby things to the woman.

Ace: Aren't them?

Feeling gazes the woman turned towards them.

???: What are you looking at? Oh captain.

???: Sis i don't think he is captain.

???: Hmmm. I think so to. Who are you?

As she spoke the both of them released a huge pressure on Ace and his crew making all of them expect for Ace to kneel. But Ace didn't mind as he spoke normally.

Ace: I know you guys i saw your bounties. You are from brother crew aren't you. I am Larch twin brother, Portgas D. Ace, our surname is different as i took of our mother while he took of our father. I guess you must be Mars and Beth right?

Mars: You are right. I am Mars and this is my sister Beth. Captian did mentioned about you from his past..

While the 'giant', Mars respond Ace the woman was still quiet observing Ace.

Mars: Come on sis present yourself.

Beth: What prove that you have that you are captain brother?

Ace: Huh prove? Hmmmm..... I know my technique with the spear was taught by him.

As he said he took the spear behind his back, then he showed his technique to them, releasing an aura.

Mars: Well it seems that captain taught you but your technique is very crude. It seems you still haven't found your essence. It should be more this way.

As Mars spoke he brought his arms up with his golden gauntlets. As he did an tyrannic aura was released making an crater were he stood.

Beth: Never mind he seems to be captain brother. Hello i am Beth the cook.

Mars: Oh yeah i am the mechanic. Would you like to come with us to meet him. We were on our way right now.

Ace: Okay but can you help me awake my crew.

Mars/Beth: Yes.

As they were walking, they shared their stories about the past. When Ace told them about the bounties. They didn't even react.

Mars: So that is the bounty captain has. That will be until they saw him now, his strength has increased by leaps and bounds.

Beth: I think so to.

Ace: He improved so much in little time.

???: Yeah how could he improve to much and how?

The guy that spoke was one of the Ace crew, the one before that was speaking with him about the bounty and that Ace could defeat Larch, he sensed something bad coming his way turning towards Mars and Beth, both were looking at him with murderous eyes. Ace seeing this knew that something must have happened.

Ace: What happened?

Mars: One of our family got hurt pretty badly.

Ace: WHAT? Then he must have found a way to cure her. What is he going to do?

Beth: He is getting a medic, but as doesn't trust anyone he is going to bet on someone.

Ace: Who?

While talking they arrived at a location crowed with persons where in a stage wasannouncing the an event that was about to happen.

Host: Welcome everyone to the match between Sword Demon Pirates vs Heart Pirates.

Ace: Isn't that your name of the crew?

Mars: Yes it is the bet captain is making is in the other team. It's their captain Trafalgar D. Water Law the user of the Devil Fruit ope ope no mi.
