Heee! Wow, this is perfect! I really wanted to see Shanks and Ace having that party and discussing Luffy, and I love how you reference your own fanon for it, too. It works so well! ^__^
A nitpick: It says in the first chapter that Shanks stayed in Luffy's village for one year, not two. And Luffy was seven when Shanks left, and since I don't think much time had passed between that and Garp handing him over to Dadan, he would have spent seven years with Ace, not five - Ace is three years older, and Luffy says he also left three years before Luffy did. Which means that Luffy would have been fourteen, and that's seven years after he was seven. Yeah, I'm a complete nerd for keeping track of that. ^^;
