    Summary

    The legends say: If you give your name to the Fae, you now belong to them.
    Outlook took a Fae child. There is no mistaking the eyes of the younger kid.
    'Uh? Who are you ?'

    In this land of Old and New, every action has consequences.
    'Now that we're brothers, I should introduce myself.'
    'Hello Ace, Luffy. My name is Sabo.'

    What makes a family? Is it your blood?
    It's in this cell that Outlook's child dies and Sabo is born. They'll never understand the wilderness underneath his skin.

    Your name? Your memories?
    Cleverly, the Commander hot on his trail leads him right into a dead-end.
    "Listen, I don't know what I did to offend you but we can talk!" Empty hands raised up, he tries to placate the guy. It seems to anger him further.
    "You don't know what you did?" A hand slams against the wall, freezing him in place.
    "Sabo."
    "How- how do you know my name?"

    Or is it the fact that no matter how far you lose yourself, they'll never let you go?
    "Hey Ace? I love you." He untangles before Ace tries to grab him. "Tell it to Luffy for me okay?"

    Summary

    Portgas roars wordlessly in frustration and grabs him by the collar of his jacket. “Stop running, Sabo!”

    He’s distantly aware that he stumbles at this, legs abruptly going numb and nearly sending him to the ground were it not for the grip Portgas has on him.

    Blue-

    Sabo-

    He can’t breathe. There’s a splitting pain in his head, but it’s overwhelmed by the warmth he feels behind his ribs, something slotting into place that he didn’t notice was loose until it wasn’t anymore.

    That’s his name. More than that, it’s his Name. His real one. The one absolutely no one should know, because how can he give it to anyone when even he doesn’t know it?

    The one in which Whitebeard Pirates meet Ace's big brother, and it goes... not as expected. To be fair, though, very few things involving Luffy ever do.

    “Well, that was certainly a way to find out,” the hologram man says. “But trust me, you’ll get through it.”

    At this point, nothing can surprise the Strawhats (and Law) anymore. But for the unsuspecting world they've been dumped into, there's no logical explanation for these strange, powerful pirates. If the Avatar has finally returned, then who's to say that these aren't spirits?

    Summary

    Luffy gasps delightedly, head wiping around to stare up at Whitebeard with wide, excited eyes. “Ace tried to kill you too?!” he shouts. Behind him, the party doesn’t necessarily stop so much as pause, focusing in on the growing spectacle before them. Oblivious, Luffy continues on. “How long?”

    Whitebeard looks down at the young pirate captain that’s practically vibrating in place. Then he looks to the blond revolutionary that is also staring up at him, gaze considering and keen. Then to his second division commander who now has his face in his hands, ears red where they poke out of his hair. Finally, he glances at the rest of his children, out of loop and confused, yet intrigued, nonetheless.

    Summary

    Ace stares upwards for a while, trying to understand what the hell he’s looking at. Gramps has never said shit about what the rest of the world’s like, but Dadan scoffs sometimes that the other Blues are weird, and the Grand Line is even weirder, so maybe this is like, some kind of normal bird for wherever the hell they are?

    Right on the heels of that muddled thought is the realization the flaming bird is getting closer, circling their battered raft and descending with each loop.

    Ace’s heartbeat speeds up. He braces his hands against the boards, heaves himself as much out of the water as he dares, and starts to shout: “Hey! Shoo! Go away, you don’t get to eat them! Go on, fly away you big buzzard!”

    There’s a startled squawk, and the bird does back off a bit. But then it just hovers midair, trailing bits of fire as its wings flap. Ace would swear the stupid thing’s head tilts to one side, studying him, probably trying to figure out if he’s a real threat or not.

    So he bares his teeth just like the jungle tigers and snarls, “You are not eating my brothers!”

    Summary

    So they’re talking about the possibility that Whitebeard loses and Ace dies and Sabo can’t. There are locusts beneath his skin and a headache throbbing against his skull and a tick-tick-tick down his spine, a countdown, a warning, and he needs to go.

    “I can carry a black bag operation in Marineford,” he blurts, off topic, and the room blows up with noise.

    ///Sabo needs his memories, Ace needs saving, and Garp needs to rethink his life choices.
