"Kenny.. You better not run.." Smoker who just got released from the hands of Ken stormed after the Straw-Hats. He felt humiliated. Not because he couldn't catch him but he felt that Kenny was purposefully making fun of him by letting him go. This hurt his ego.

Ken didn't even bother to look back at Smoker who was running after him. He had already had his two brothers on his shoulders and was running at super fast speed possible for him with the help of Body Flicker jutsu and also jumping in distant strides. Usopp was also running but he was using Sonido from time to time to get away.

In almost a couple of minutes, the infamous group vanished from the sights of Smoker.

"Punisher, White-eye Ace and Straw-hat Luffy are brothers. Send this information to the headquarters." Smoker said as he returned to the marines who had been running after Smoker.

"What?"

"One previous supernova and the current supernovas are brothers?"

"This is bad. Are the Straw Hats going to join the Whitebeard Pirates?"

"If they do, the whole demography of the New World might change."

This discussion was rampant among the marines as they got to know such a terrifying secret. They were praying that these monsters wouldn't join the Whitebeard. They were already so dangerous, especially White-eye Ace.

It was said that White-eye Ace could see your weak points with his white eyes and knew perfect ways to go after those points. Attacking those weak points would make the body immovable. And along with that weird power, came his power of Devil Fruit.

The Mera Mera no Mi.

A Devil fruit that was at the same level as the Admirals. Though having a powerful logia fruit wasn't necessary to become an admiral, it couldn't be denied that this gave the current admirals an edge over their enemies.

Meanwhile, Ken and others had finally reached a secluded position away from the eyes of everyone.

"Ken, how dare you hit me and then run from those cowardly marines."

"We are not here to cause a ruckus. We have already attracted too much attention."

You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.

"You are the one who caused an uproar on arrival. Why did you hit me?" Ace was still angry and wanted to know why he received such kind of greetings.

"Don't you know why you received such greetings? You went against the command of your own Captain. Haven't you?" Ken asked.

"Would someone tell me what is going on?" Luffy got frustrated and shouted. He felt left out from the conversation while Usopp was trying to figure out what kind of monster this person was.

"Luffy... I joined the Whitebeard Pirates."

"What are Whitebeard Pirates?"

"Whitebeard is a great man and I consider him as my father. He asked me to join his group so I joined. Do you want to come in?"

"Eh... You joined another pirate. That's unique of you Ace. But no thank you. I will be the Pirate King of course, I wouldn't join another pirate."

"Hahaha.. I expected that from you."

"Ken.. You knew about this?" Luffy asked as he didn't know that Ace had joined The Whitebeard Pirates.

"I didn't. But that tattoo on his back was enough for me to know. I didn't hit you because you joined the Whitebeard Pirates. I hit you because you are after Teach."

Ace got silent when Ken spoke. Whitebeard did say not to go after Teach as he felt that it wasn't worth it, but Ace was quite close to Thatch and he just couldn't let this go. And for that reason he had been after Teach for some time to take revenge in the name of Whitebeard.

He went against the orders of his Captain and now he was in the open sea.

"How do you know about Teach?"

"You went to Drum. You think I am dumb as to not understand why you were in Drum island or do you think I am as ignorant as this idiot."

"Don't praise me so much.. I am blushing!!" - Luffy

"He isn't praising you.. Ahoo!" - Usopp

"He killed a friend of mine. I just can't let him get away."

"Of course. But do you even know why he killed Commander just for a Devil Fruit?"

"Do you think I care?" Ace was incensed now as the memories of his friend were coming back to him. Ace still had that anger in him which could never be doused until he had done what he had set out to do.

"Of course you don't because you are an idiot."

Ace's anger came out in the form of flames burning over his back. He was angry because Ken had attacked his sore spot. Ken would always go after him when he seemed to be angry. This was the only thing Ace didn't like about Ken.

"Wow! Ace, you ate a Devil Fruit?" Luffy could easily tell that Ace had eaten some kind of Devil Fruit.

"Hai.. Mera Mera no Mi. Logia type." Usopp and Luffy were surprised, only Ken gave him a deadpan look. Ken wasn't surprised by his Devil fruit but he was still angry at Ace for leaving the crew. After coming to this world he was trying to avoid the marineford war but this idiot was still after him.

"What do you know about Teach?" Ace asked as he was curious of what his brother knew. His brother had always been an all knowing guy so he wanted to see what Ken had known.

"The Devil fruit which he ate is Yami Yami no mi. A logia type fruit which is unique."

"How do you know this?"

"Didn't you ask the villagers in Drum Kingdom about how he attacked..."

"......For god's sake Ace, you are a ninja and you went after an enemy without knowing anything at all?"

"Uh.. Nani, he is a ninja too?" -Usopp

"Yeah. We brothers became ninjas long ago. Those eyes of his are called Byakugan which can see through the chakra points of one person." - Luffy.
