since that flashback came out, I just knew you'd write something and this is so great!

It was a wonderful flashback, wasn't it &hearts

I see you were likewise inspired ^^ (I am working on the beta right now)

And especially Ace's big brother complex (his freakout over not knowing what to do was just so much *hearts*)

Given his reaction when Luffy crashed Impel Down "he never does anything but make me worry about him" I'm assuming that Ace had many, many Luffy-related freak-outs over the years ^^

the language parts of my brain are going "Dadan -> Dada -> male"; but the rest of me thinks it would be awesome if the person who raised Ace & Luffy was a woman ^^
