AN: SWEET. Thank you Athena6119. I figured it had something to do with his hair and plants. But now I know for sure. :P
Oh and to all those that care Since I have no clue what will happened at mermaid island. I�m just going to make up a short back story. Feel free to read without the fear of spoilers. Hmmm actually there might be some spoilers for Enies Lobby line in the anime. But its not really spoilers ax the scans are out for the manga.

00000

They had missed them.

They had fuckin missed them.

This was perfect�great just great.

Ace sighed as they left Mermaid island.

He couldn�t believe that the two of them on their devil fruit powered rides couldn�t catch up to that beat up old boat.

He really wasn�t sure what to do now. Did he have time to go looking for his brother with Black beard running around?

Granted he hadn�t even heard a hint of where the guy might be�but he should be looking more.

Ace glanced sideways at Smoker.

Well�he really couldn�t leave the man yet. After all if whatever Smoker had was dangerous enough that the government strung HIM up then it would definitely get his brother in trouble. Luffy was good enough at doing that on his own. He didn�t need help.

So doing this�he was helping his brother.

Never mind that the thought of leaving Smoker behind left a sour taste in his mouth.

Ace sighed again as he adjusted the skiff slightly.

The man wasn�t much of a talker thus the trip was quiet. It wasn�t uncomfortable strangely enough. One would think being interrupted twice during foreplay would make them a little antsy around each other.

The exact opposite seemed to be the truth. Ace felt�well he wasn�t sure what he felt.

It was definitely different than before. Ace was a nice guy, but he wasn�t very trusting. There were few men, even on his own ship that he would trust to watch his back.

It was stupid but�well�Ace trusted the Ex-marine to do just that.

The man could have turned on him with that Tashigi woman showed up. Could have done a number of things.

But he didn�t.

That had to mean something right?

�Oi Smoker!�

Ace called out. Smoker titled his head in response and moved the bike closer to Ace�s skiff.

�hm?�

�If I remember right there should be a small island on the way to the next island. It�s to small for the log pose to pick up but it should be a good place to catch some grub and Z�s.�

Smoker nodded as he speed up a little.

Ace agreed with his silent plea. While their DF powered rides were faster than a ship, it also was rather draining. They were using their own energy to go rather than the winds. It wasn�t like they could just relax and enjoy the ride.

The comfortable silence fell once again and lasted until the tiny island came into view.

�Ah just like I remember it.�

Ace said loudly so that Smoker could hear.

They landed, Ace jumping off his skiff and allowing himself to fall backwards onto the sand.

�God I�m tired!�

He exclaimed, spread eagled on the ground. He closed his eyes to enjoy the last rays of the sun. It would be setting soon and night would fall.

A shadow fell over him, blocking the sun. Ace opened one eye grinning up at Smoker.

�I�ll go catch something to eat. You start a fire.�

Lazily Ace gave Smoker a mock salute.

�Ai ai, sir.�

Smoker raised an eyebrow at the teasing.

�Brat.�

He muttered, making sure to kick sand on the kid as he walked by.

�Oi hey!�

Ace laughed sitting up and brushing the sand off. Finally he stood up and went in search of some fire wood. Most of the stuff on the island was wet. For a normal traveler this would be a problem, but not for Fire Fist Ace. He could catch anything on fire.

So after a brief wood search he had the fire burning bright and hot.

He played with the fire, sticking his hands in it, making it hotter or colder so that the flame would change colors. He created shapes within the fire, some people, some animals. Anything really to amuse himself until Smoker came back.

Thud.

Oh speak of the devil.

�Ew what did you do to it?�

Ace said giving the slaughtered animal a once over. Well at least the meat would be tenderized.

Slipping the knife at his hip out of it hostler Ace started to skin the animal. He was good at this. After all he didn�t always have money (not that that mattered when he went for food) and he didn�t always land on civilized islands. So the knowledge of how to hunt, skin and butcher an animal was an important one.

Ten minutes later Ace and Smoker were munching on some fruit and meat in silence. It wasn�t a great meal. After all Ace was no cook. But it wasn�t bad and it filled their stomachs.

�Ahhh!�

Ace suddenly exclaimed as he finished. Patting his stomach happily he fell back onto the soft sand again.

�I�m full.�

Smoker nodded finishing up his portion as well. Turning his head to look at the setting sun.

�It�ll be cold tonight.�

He commented softly. Ace raised an eyebrow. Then looked at Smoker more carefully. The guy was sitting pretty close to the fire. His Jacket pulled together more than usual. He was also shivering a little bit if Ace didn�t miss his guess.

OH he�s cold. I didn�t notice.

He felt like smacking his forehead. It had been so long since he had to worry about others that he forgotten to think about the temperature.

�Don�t worry Smoker. I�ll keep ya warm.�

Ace winked at him, then grinned widely at the very slight flush that graced the older mans cheeks.

Sitting up Ace stopped teasing.

�Seriously.�

With that Ace scooted over so that he was right beside Smoker. He laid his head on the large mans shoulder and wrapped his arms around him.

Smoker tensed up, but after a few moments relaxed.

�You are warm.�

He commented under his breath. Ace grinned.

�Comes with the fruit.�

Ace chuckled softly to himself as he remembered Arabasta. Luffy and crew had learned of his heater properties not long after the first sun set. It had been slightly unnerving to wake up with Luffy sprawled over him and his brothers crew with the expectation of Chopper sleeping in a circle around him.

�Tell me if you need more heat. It�s no problem.�

Ace snuggled as with a sigh Smoker moved his arm so it was draped around him.

Ace smiled. He always did like to snuggle and cuddle. However when one night stands were the norm it was rare that he got the chance. People that went into sex simply for the sex had no interest in him after the fact�unless of course they wanted more sex.

That was alright with him. Snuggling wasn�t something you did with everyone, just like his kiss, it was something a little more special.

So why the hell am I doing this with Smoker?

Ace closed his eyes. He really didn�t know. He didn�t know why he kissed him like he did. When everything was against them ever being able to be together after that one time. Smoker at the time had been a marine. A hard ass that probably wouldn�t give Ace an inch if he got the chance to capture him. Even now they really didn�t have much to go on. Ace seriously doubted the man would join Whitebeards crew�even if Whitebeard would allow it.

So what would happen after they found his brother?

Ace didn�t really know. He didn�t want to think about it.

He was happy enough right now, in the arms of a stiff and grumpy ex-Marine.

Ace let one of his hands slip off of Smokers shoulder let it brush across his chest then lower across his well sculpted stomach.

Ace still marveled at the power in those muscles. Smoker was thick and solid, gritty and unrefined. So dissimilar from his own slimmer form.

Both of them were monsters in strength and ability but Ace still found it amazing how they differed.

He could hear Smokers breath catch, hear his heart pump a little faster.

�All alone on this little island.�

Ace whispered softy as he played with Smokers belt.

Pausing a moment Ace looked around them.

�We are alone right?�

He didn�t think he could survive another interruption. His head would implode or something he was sure.

�Hai. I think so.�

Smiling Ace shifted, lifting one leg so he could straddle Smoker.

�Good.�

He kissed him.

Closing his eyes, Ace brought his hands up to caress the sides of Smokers face. He hummed in satisfaction as he felt Smokers lips go from stone, hard and unyielding to more like puddy in his hands.

Opening his mouth he slipped his tongue out for a taste.

Smoker tasted like he smelled, of smoke and cigars. Kind of sweet and bitter at the same time. Lowering his hands, Ace slipped Smokers jacket off of him.

Between Ace and the campfire, the ex-marine didn�t need to worry about the cold.

Smoker groaned struggling a moment with his jacket before bringing his hands up to crush Ace to him.

Suddenly without warning Smoker moved, reversing their positions and throwing the kid to the ground. Grabbing Ace�s hands in the process, he forced them above Ace�s head.

Breaking the kiss Ace smiled as he shifted a bit to get comfortable.

Smoker didn�t give Ace long before he lowered his head and attacked the black and blue mark he had left on the boys neck two days before.

It seemed like forever since the hotel room.

Ace moaned at the suddenly feeling. The wound throbbed painfully, as Smoker hadn�t been nice when he had bitten into him back then. The heat of Smokers mouth and the sharp pain felt strange and wonderful. It wasn�t enough pain to be painful really, just enough to be sharp and aching.

Ace lifted his hips, grinding them together.

�ACE! GUMU GUMU NOO ROCKET!�

Ace�s eyes bulged as a frightening familiar voice screamed across the beach. Ace just managed to exchange an unbelieving shocked and utterly pitifully look with Smoker before the man was literally full body slammed off of him.

Smoker didn�t have time to shift so Luffy actually hit him. The Ex-marine grunted in pain as he rolled across the beach unable to stop due to the powerful blow.

Luffy jumped up and down, then went into a fighting stance as he stood between Smoker and his brother.

�I won�t let you eat my brother!�

Luffy said in a completely serious voice. Ace groaned and flopped back into the sand. His brother had absolutely no idea what he had just interrupted.

Ace knew his brother had innocent and clueless buts seriously he was 17 now and surely he had picked up something from his Namaka and the bars they went to.

�Ace are you ok!�

Luffy turned to look at him, his eyes on the dark purple bruises that adorned his neck and chest.

�Fine fine.�

Ace said as he focused to turn into fire and make the marks disappear. He had to hide the surprise when it didn�t work.

It always worked. Going into fire healed whatever damage his flesh had. He�d been shot, stabbed, punched and kicked without any lasting damage. However for some reason the bruises wouldn�t heal.

Hmmm think about this later. Need to get Luffy away.

Ace�s cock was screaming at him. He really REALLY needed to get Smoker back on top of him.

�Luffy�What are you doing here?�

Luffy frowned glancing back at Smoker who was now getting up. The guy looked pissed, even Luffy could tell that. But what he didn�t understand was why his brother sounded angry.

�We�stopped here to rest. Sanji got hurt pretty bad, so did Zoro.�

Ace frowned then for the first time noticed that Luffy looked like hell. He was covered in bandages. Almost head to toe.

What the hell had happened on Mermaid island?

Ace grudgingly felt his older brother duty begin to overcome the get �get Luffy away so he could get laid� feelings.

Ace closed his eyes and told himself that Luffy didn�t understand. Even though he was seventeen years old now and a pirate the little brat still didn�t understand sex at all.

�You fucking brat!�

Oh that was Smoker. Ace turned to give the man an apologetic look before facing his brother who was once again looking ready to fight.

�Oi calm down Smoker. Luffy, we�ve been looking for you.�

Luffy tilted him head. It was then he seemed to notice the fire, what was left of their dinner and the skiff and bike parked side by side.

�Both of you�together?�

Ace nodded.

�Stuff happened, Smokers no longer a marine. Where are you docked at?�

�Um?�

Luffy looked around.

�Dunno.�

He then paused and looked at Smoker.

�You�re not a marine anymore?�

Luffy crossed his arms his head cocked in that, �I�m thinking look�.

�Wanna be our Namaka then?�

Ace choked, and Smoker sounded like he might be dieing.

Trust Luffy to say something so unexpected and off the wall.

�Luffy!�

Ace snapped.

�Ship. Remember?�

�OH ya. Hey ACE wait until see our new SHIP! Its amazing!�

Ace raised an eyebrow. His brother had gotten a new ship? What happened to the old one? The Going Merry while not the greatest or the biggest had been a solid vessel. Even if it was a little beat up.

�New ship?�

Luffy nodded.

�What happened to the Going Merry?�

Luffy�s smile was suddenly gone. Ace remembered the feeling of jumping into ice water.

The first shock, the darkness of the water and the overwhelming feeling of cold. He remember how even when he got out how cold he felt.

He could no longer feel cold but that look forced his body to remember.

Ace swallowed hard, not liking that look one bit. Frowning he stood up. Walking over to his brother he placed a hand on his slim shoulder.

�Luffy?�

�She was dieing. We let her sleep. The Thousand Sunny will pick up after her though.�

Ace�s frown deepened.

THAT did not sound like his little brother. What the hell has been going on?

�I�m interested to hear the story.�

Ace looked over at his shoulder. Smoker was looking frustrated but he gave Ace a sharp nod at his questioning look.

�Shall we Luffy?�

�Oh sure�errr��

Luffy looked around.

�that way I think.�

With that the odd three walked down the beach.

Zoro groaned in pain as he for the 236^th time swung his weights. It hurt like a bitch! The deep cuts burned and protested each movement. Slowly the pristine white bandages wrapped around his body turned red with blood and sweat.

Stupid fuckin merman and his fucking jelly fish thing whip! The fucking tentacles hurt!

The Swordsman had been unable to dodge all of the whips as the Merman had two jelly fishes, one in each hand, and each jelly fish had a dozen or more tentacles.

The ugly red marks crisscrossed over his back, shoulders, arms, legs and even two across his face. The ones on his were strange looking, looking like a deep red X right in the middle of his face.

He hoped they didn�t scar. They were sure deep enough, the strangely delicate looking sea creatures tearing through his flesh as easily as any blade.

Then there was the poison.

God it had hurt.

He had defeated the merman, cutting him literally into several pieces. However if it hadn�t been for Chopper he would have died himself.

�AHH ZORO!�

Chopper screamed out as he came on deck and saw the swordsman.

�NO! Put that down! No training means no TRAINING!�

Zoro grunted but ignored him. He had to train. He had to be better. It was inexcusable that he had been cut up so badly by fuckin jelly fish.

Sanji (although in no position to joke now) would never let him forget it.

�Don�t you have other patients to take care of?�

Zoro asked annoyed.

Sanji while the worst off wasn�t the only one hurt. Nami had gotten beat up, Robin had burns on her hands from some sort of acid spitting thing, Usopp had managed to avoid getting hurt to badly. Maybe because he had kept his distance. Which for once wasn�t because of his courage (are rather lack of). A sharp shooter was more dangerous from afar after all.

Franky had gotten injured too. But that bastard didn�t need a doctor he needed a mechanic. He was done below last Zoro had seen, fixing himself and the Thousand Sunny up.

The ship herself had done a fabulous job.

Zoro couldn�t help but be more and more impressed with Franky�s abilities the more he saw.

�NO TRAINING!�

Chopper suddenly screaming turning to his large man form. He wasn�t quite strong enough to pick up the weights but he was a doctor and like most doctors he was rather intelligent. Instead of going for the weights Chopper grabbed Zoro�s swords.

�Rumble.�

Chopper bit the sphere even as Zoro dropped the weights a deadly look in his eyes.

�Jumper point!�

And he jumped over the enraged mans head. From the top of the crows nest Chopper yelled down. Zoro growled as he actually missed the more timid acting doctor. Chopper had been learning to be more independent and that he had to go the extra mile to make sure the crew healed.

�You can have your swords after you heal! But if I see you lift that weight ONE MORE TIME. I�ll give them to Nami as payment for your debt!�

Zoro�s mouth dropped open.

�YOU LITTLE SHIT!�

�I mean it!�

Chopper squeaked as Zoro started climbing the mast to go after him. Chopper easily jumped to the other side of the ship.

�I�m the doctor! No training!�

Zoro glared�then winced as his face screamed at the movement. Chopper hadn�t been able to dress the marks on his face like the rest of him. So all he had were some stitches and some sort of cream on them.

�Alright. FINE!�

Zoro turned and went to the front of the ship. He would find a place to lay down and sleep.

As he walked, he noticed something. His captain, on deck leaning over the side looking at something. Zoro couldn�t see what it was at this angle but he really didn�t care. Probably a shiny rock or something.

�Luffy?�

He asked wondering what the stretchy boy was doing back so soon.

�Oi Zoro!�

Luffy turned and gave him a delighted smile.

�I found us another Namaka!�

Zoro�s eyebrow twitched. Stupid fuckin captain and his impulsive ways.

Zoro suddenly paused�who the hell was out here on this tiny island for Luffy to find anyway?

�Who the hell told you I�d be your Namaka!�

Zoro suddenly went for his swords. As a very familiar (although no less dangerous) man jumped up onto the deck. Zoro cursed as he remembered Chopper had them.

He eyed the Marine especially the sea stone Jutte on his back. It might not be sharp but the weapon was deadly nevertheless in Smokers hands.

However the Marine didn�t draw the weapon. He just glared at Luffy who smiled back at him.

�Oh come on. Be our Namaka!�

�NO!�

�Please.�

�Absolutely not!�

�Pllllllllaaaa leaassssssssssssssseeeeeeeeeeeeee.�

Luffy whined looking down right pitiful.

Suddenly Zoro jerked as another set of boots thumped onto the deck.

�Give um a kiss Luffy. He might change his mind.�

Luffy didn�t hesitate as he neck stretched toward the Marine his lips comically pouty in what Zoro could only call as the ultimate kiddy kiss. He even smacked his lips for sound effects.

Smoker grabbed the boys head holding it back while giving Ace a betrayed and heated look.

Zoro raised an eyebrow as he looked between the two. At the betrayed how could you look of Smoker, to the�very obvious bite marks on Ace�s neck and chest.

�Ooo-kay. What the hell? No wait�I don�t think I wanna know.�

Ace touched the most obvious mark on his neck and grinned widely.

�Nice ship.�

Ace then frowned slightly seeing Zoro�s sad state.

�What happened to you?�

�Jelly Fish.�

Was Zoro�s answer. Ace raised one eyebrow really high, but Zoro had already turned from him, refusing to elaborate.

�Luffy stop that!�

Zoro yelled finally having enough of Kissy Luffy. He then helped the Marine remove any possibility that he would be kissed by the younger of the D. by tickling Luffy under his arms. Ace smiled knowing that that was Luffy�s most vulnerable spot.

�AHAHAHA Zoro stop it hahaha.�

Luffy�s head snapped back to him almost hitting Zoro in the process.

�Don�t kiss Marines. They got Cooties.�

Zoro said in his most serious voice. Luffy didn�t look convinced but he didn�t try to kiss the man again.

Smoker just looked pissed.

�But he�s not a marine anymore!�

�What?�

Zoro snapped his head jerking to the pair standing on their ship.

�I got fired.�

Smoker said simply.

�and I helped!�

Ace said helpfully. Zoro rolled his eyes. Ya he could imagine.

�I�ll hire you!�

Luffy said gleefully.

�Luffy.�

Ace said softly causing the younger brother to pout. However somehow that one word got Luffy to drop the subject for now.

Zoro looked at Ace in amazement. One word, he had shut Luffy up with one soft spoken word.

�and here I didn�t believe in miracles.�

Ace snickered, hell ever Smoker looked almost amused.

�alright�I guess we got some things to talk about.�

Zoro said as he glanced between the two men.

�I�m assuming this isn�t just a casual visit?�

Smoker nodded.

�I need to speak with this woman.�

Smoker said as he reached into his coat and pulled out the wanted poster.

Zoro froze. What the hell would Smoker want with Robin.

The only thing he could think of was because of the polygraphs. No way in hell was Zoro letting any of them get involved in that kind of shit again. They had just barely survived Cp9 and Enies Lobby.

But�

Zoro glanced at Ace. He was smiling and talking to Luffy.

Ace wouldn�t put his brother into danger. He was fairly sure. So maybe�it wouldn�t hurt to see what the man wanted.

�Alright�she�s downstairs.
