Character development is key. Fanfictions explore how Ace and Luffy grow under Garp's influence. Maybe Luffy becomes more disciplined in some stories, or Ace learns to be more open - hearted, all thanks to their interactions with Garp and each other.
One possible plot could be that Luffy gets into a really tough situation during his adventures, perhaps surrounded by powerful enemies on an unknown island. In desperation, he calls out to Garp for help. Garp, despite his tough exterior, races to his grandson's aid. Along the way, he might reminisce about Luffy's growth and how far he has come.
In addition to Luffy and Garp, other characters could also play important roles. For example, some of Luffy's crewmates like Zoro or Nami might be present when Luffy calls Garp. They could add their own perspectives and reactions. Also, there could be some marines around Garp when he receives the call, and their reactions to Garp's decision to go to Luffy could also be part of the story.
One popular ace luffy garp fanfiction is 'The Bonds of Family'. It delves deep into the complex relationships between Ace, Luffy, and Garp. It shows how their different personalities interact and how their family bond influences their actions.
The crew's reaction would depend on the situation. If they meet Dragon in a dangerous situation, they would be relieved to have such a powerful ally. If it's a more casual meeting, they would be eager to learn more about him. Luffy would be overjoyed, and his happiness would be contagious. The rest of the crew would gradually warm up to Dragon, and they might start sharing their own stories and dreams with him, forging a new connection within the One Piece universe.
I don't have enough context to determine exactly who 'garp' is. It could be a newly created character by the fanfic writer, or it might be a character from a relatively unknown story that is being incorporated into the 'ace fanfic'.
Zoro would be deeply affected. He has sworn to follow Luffy and his death would be a huge blow. He might feel like he failed in his duty to protect the captain. He would likely become more withdrawn at first, but then focus on getting stronger to avenge Luffy if there was someone to blame for his death.
Nami would be inconsolable at first. Luffy has always been there to protect her, and his sudden death would leave a huge void in her life. She would probably cry for days. As time passed, she would remember all the things Luffy taught her about courage and believing in oneself. Nami would start to take on some of Luffy's leadership qualities in a way. She would be more outspoken about her plans for the crew and more determined to see their dreams through. She would also keep Luffy's memory alive by telling stories of his adventures and his selfless acts to new people they meet on their journey.
