Pairing: Ace/Luffy brothership
Word Count: 300
Topic: AU/AR
Warning: Character death, though not of those mentioned in the pairing, and angst. Dark.
Luffy hadn’t been present that evening, when Shanks’ crew had floated his body out to sea. He’d stayed home that terrible day, huddled in a corner of his room while clutching the deceased captain’s straw hat to his chest, the front of his shirt soaked with tears while his eyes burned in dry agony. Ace wouldn’t stop banging on the door.
I’ll get a crew better than yours, Luffy whispered into the thatched straw. I’ll have the best nakama in the world. Find the One Piece. Become the Pirate King. I don’t know how else I can repay you. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m sorry…
Ten years later, the world learns of one man named Monkey D. Luffy, the hundred million Berri bounty rubber man who’s proclaimed himself the future pirate king. He has with him six loyal and trustworthy crewmates, nakama who’d give their lives for him in an instant, a family he loves and who loves him back in return. They’ve changed lives all over the Grand Line, worked miracles, opened peoples’ eyes.
The boy in the straw hat laughs as he hangs upside-down from the figurehead, the others cheering with him as they speed off to a new island, a new adventure.
Watch me, Shanks, Luffy whispers into the wind, grinning.
Watch me.

“He’s just found his seventh crewmember,” Makino says softly.
She and Ace watch as the younger teen smiles and giggles to himself while he rolls from wall to wall, bound, before he topples over to fall against the padded floor. For a few moments, Luffy’s eyes grow wide, then unfocused, and then he abruptly falls asleep.
With his eyes closed he looks almost normal again. Almost.
Ace tips his hat down. “Thank you, Makino-san.” His voice is hoarse.
She gives him a broken smile.
A/N: Shanks died of bloodloss. I just... didn't have the space to put that in. >>;
