    Summary

    "Gol D. Ace you -"

    "I invoke the Gallows Law."

    Ace had missed the black vortex that flared to life on the scaffold, purple lightning blinding before a hooded figure appeared next to Sengoku on the scaffold out of nowhere. Something about his tone familiar in a way that Ace had no way of placing. Not at the moment. His words, on the other hand, made no sense. The fire logia didn't know what a Gallows Law could even be, but it was nothing good considering the way Gramps stiffened at his side, his eyes almost haunted. Even Sengoku froze and stopped his dumb monologue.

    Even the battlefield settled, voices suddenly going quiet, scents flaring with confusion as everyone froze in this moment until the newcomer repeated again.

    "I invoke the Gallows Law. Until it is either accepted or denied you are not to touch Gol D. Ace."

    The moment Figarland Shamrock invokes an ancient law to save Ace from execution, everyone assumes he has nefarious purposes in mind. The truth, on the other hand, might be more complicated than anyone expects.

    Summary

    “Careful, Spy-san. Aren’t you getting too comfortable around a big, bad, terrible pirate?” Ace shoots back, as he watches the relaxed lines of the spy’s shoulders. The blond easily falls into step with Ace.

    “We are both stuck on this ship until we make it to land,” the blond points out. “Besides, I already told you. I could take you on with my pink finger.”

    Ace sticks his tongue out. “I bet even Luffy could take you on, and he is a weak crybaby.”

    That elicits a laugh from not-Sabo, and it has Ace reeling with delight. And oh, he is a little fucked, isn’t he? Even if this stranger is not Sabo, even if it is just his face and his actions and his stupid propensity to get under Ace’s skin, Ace could never raise a weapon against him and actually intend to kill.

    It’s not Spy-san, but rather he who has gotten too comfortable.

    ...

    Ace and Sabo meet before Marineford. Along the way, they fight some bad guys, liberate a nation, and finally find their way back to each other.

    Summary

    Being born in Mary Geoise taught Sophie De Valliere a harsh truth. In this world, those who know too much are given only two outcomes: power, or annihilation.

    Raised as a member of the De Valliere family, Sophie grows up within the Holy Land, bound by silent rules, constant watchfulness, and secrets that are never meant to be spoken aloud.

    In a place like this, sincere connections are rare, and even when they exist, they are never allowed to last long enough to become something more.

    As the affairs of the God Knights begin to encroach on her life, and the attention of Figarland Shamrock becomes impossible to avoid, the fragile order Sophie has relied on slowly begins to unravel.

    The appearance of Figarland Shanks, a twin long sought after, brings forth something Sophie never thought still existed in the world.

    Hope.

    Summary

    Edward Newgate had a terrible habit of hiring fatherless, trouble-making punks in need of direction to work at his auto parts garage.

    Recently, he’s hired a 20 year old who’s currently on parol and struggling to raise his 12 year old brother on his own.

    When Marco (29) moves back to his home city, he’s hesitant to trust the new hire, who’s living rent free above Pop’s auto shop.
