Alabasta, First Half of Grandline.

"Ahhh Luffy!" Nojiko moaned as she straddled Luffy.
"You are very excited…ahhhh!" Alvida moaned as Luffy played with her pussy with two hot fingers.
Luffy was in his cabin with Nojiko and Alvida naked while having sex.
Nojiko seemed excited by the speed she was bouncing on his dick.
"Luffy, you liked it!" He moaned releasing his liquid into Luffy.
"Now, it's my turn!" Alvida pulled Nojuko off of Luffy as she lay down next to her captain to exchange kisses, while Alvida used her sliding power to make Luffy enter her with ease.
"It's always good to eat you, Alvida. Have I told you that I love your slippery power? Luffy spoke with a smile as he was inside the woman.
"Of course I do, my husband." She said, before starting to move, shaking the bed.
Two hours later, Luffy emerged from the cabin satisfied and headed to the deck of the ship, which sailed through the Alabasta desert calmly while darkness painted the sky with local stars. On the deck, there was no one but Ace and Jimbei, who were still tied to the mast.
"Hey, Luffy! How long are you going to leave me tied up here? This isn't funny!" Ace immediately complained in a teasing tone.
"Ah, Ace, I had forgotten about you!" Luffy replied with a smile to his brother.
"Forgotten, you say you forgot?! I'm going to beat you up, Luffy!" Ace shouted, clearly frustrated.
"Calm down, calm down. You're free now!" Luffy, in a casual gesture, removed the seastone handcuffs from Ace.
"I swear I'll get my revenge one day, Luffy! I swear!" Ace continued, still frustrated.
"Ace, I did this so you could realize you're still too dependent on your Akuma no Mi. Look how vulnerable you were. Even Chopper could beat you in that state!" Luffy warned him, trying to teach a lesson.
"Doubt that anyone could do what you did," Ace murmured, and Luffy sighed, knowing his brother was still annoyed.
"Come with me, brother, let's talk a bit," Luffy invited, starting to walk. Ace hesitated for a moment, wanting to ask Luffy to free Jimbei, but knowing that Luffy probably wouldn't grant the request. Finally, Ace followed Luffy to the bow of the ship, where Luffy took out some rum and served it in a glass for Ace.
Meanwhile, the ship cut through the desert at night, sliding over the dunes under the starry night sky.
"Just like old times, huh, Ace?" Luffy said, as they shared a moment alone under the starry desert sky, where the stars shone brightly without any other light to outshine them.
"Luffy..." Ace began, hesitant, but took his glass of sake.
"You know, I recently discovered something about Sabo," Luffy said, turning to sit on the head of Ifrit, the front part of the Black Pearl.
Ace froze for a moment. "Sabo? What do you mean? He died a long time ago!" Ace's voice was laden with surprise and a tinge of old pain.
Luffy looked toward the horizon, his expression serious. "He didn't die..." he simply said.
"What?!" Ace's surprise was palpable. "Are you telling me that Sabo, our brother we thought had died in that damned city, is actually alive?!" The urgency in his voice grew with each word.
"Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying," Luffy confirmed, still looking at the dunes of sand passing by them.
Ace quickly climbed up beside Luffy on the head of Ifrit, the urgency clear on his face. "Tell me everything you know, Luffy!"
Luffy took a sip of his sake before beginning. "He didn't die that day. But he had some issues because of an attack by a Tenryuubito. Sabo lost his memory, but he's alive, just doesn't remember us." Luffy's words were measured but clear. "He's with the Revolutionary Army now, a high-ranking person. Probably even stronger than you."
Ace absorbed the words, the revelation stirring something within him. Luffy continued to speak, telling everything he knew, mentioning the changes in this world, but confirming the truth he knew - Sabo was alive. In the end, he even teased Ace a little.
The desert wind blew gently as the brothers shared this new reality under the starry sky, a moment of discovery, revelation, and reaffirmation of bonds that never really broke.
"Revolutionary Army... He's really there, Luffy?" Ace asked, still shocked by his brother's revelation.
"Yes. One day, we'll meet him. I'm sure his memories will come back as soon as he sees us," Luffy replied confidently, taking a sip of his sake.
Ace nodded, the emotion clear in his eyes. "I believe you, Luffy. I don't know how you got this information, but I trust you. We'll find Sabo!" he said, a tear of hope and relief streaming down his face.
Luffy, noticing his brother's emotion, changed the subject. "So, are you going to stay with me until we leave Alabasta?" he asked, curious.
"No... I'm hunting someone. I need to continue this pursuit," Ace replied, his expression hardening.
"Hmm... would this person happen to be Blackbeard, by any chance?" Luffy asked casually, taking another sip of sake.
"What?! You know him?!" Ace exclaimed, surprised by Luffy's knowledge.
"Not personally. But I've heard that a man by that name caused havoc in the Drum Kingdom. I thought maybe he was the one you were looking for," Luffy explained.
"Drum Kingdom? So he was there!?" Ace murmured to himself, piecing things together.
Luffy shook his head. "You won't find him there anymore. At this point, he must be on the other side of the Grand Line with the time he attacked the kingdom, which was weeks ago."
Ace nodded, absorbing the information. "I see..."
"You must be careful with this man, Ace. If my suspicions are correct, he possesses the power of a very powerful Akuma no Mi," Luffy warned, serious.
"Even so, I have to go after him. He killed a man on our ship, and as long as I am the commander of the second division, it's my duty to punish him!" Ace said with determination. The responsibility weighed in his words, the gravity of his role as commander clear in his eyes and the punishment of Teach.
Luffy, hearing his brother's conviction, insisted, "Don't you want my help? I have a bad feeling about this, brother." Luffy spoke seriously.
"This is my fight, Luffy. He was my subordinate. I need to handle this myself." Ace replied firmly, closing the door to any possibility of discussion.
Luffy sighed, knowing how stubborn Ace was. "Just one thing I ask you, don't rely too much on your Akuma no Mi, Ace. The Mera Mera no Mi is strong, but it doesn't make you invincible." Luffy wanted Ace to understand the importance of not underestimating his opponents, remembering past mistakes.
Ace nodded, giving a half-smile. "Don't worry about me, Luffy. I know how to take care of myself," he assured.
"I hope so. Just don't make me have to rescue you from Impel Down or Marineford if you get into trouble..." Luffy murmured, half serious, half joking, eliciting a raised eyebrow from Ace.
Luffy could tell Ace he would meet him in Jaya, but he kept it a secret; he didn't want them to meet so soon, and Luffy knew he couldn't make Ace stay with him without going against his will, Ace had his own adventures, and Luffy understood that very well.
A comfortable and thoughtful silence fell between them after that, as the ship continued to cut through the sands of the desert under the mantle of night. The silence between Luffy and Ace lasted only a moment, soon replaced by a conversation that stretched into the night. The two brothers shared more about their adventures and dreams.
The conversation flowed easily between them, filled with laughter, confessions, and some moments of serious reflection. They reminisced about their childhood days, the challenges they faced, and the lessons learned on that isolated part of Dawn Island. Ace talked about his life in the Whitebeard Pirates, his crewmates, and the search for Blackbeard. Luffy listened attentively, sometimes interrupting with curious questions or lively comments.
Luffy, in turn, shared his experiences as captain of the Straw Hats, the places he had visited, and the people he had met. He talked about his goals and how he planned to make the impossible possible. Ace listened, his pride for his brother shining in his eyes, even as he teased or provoked Luffy for his escapades.
The night passed quickly, wrapping them in its cloak of tranquility and brotherhood. Finally, the sky began to lighten, announcing the arrival of a new day. The first lights of dawn touched the sands of the desert, tinging everything with golden and pink hues. Luffy and Ace fell silent, watching the sunrise on the horizon, a moment of shared peace and beauty.
Without sleep and the deck beginning to fill with their crewmates and Jimbei still tied up, they decided to prepare a feast to celebrate Ace's presence.
"Feast!"
"Feast-Sama!"
"Food!"
Some members celebrated as always, even though it was a quite recurrent situation among the crew since the captain was a big fan of parties and always made them whenever he could.
With the help of Reiju, who was always ready to show off his culinary skills, and the other excited members contributing, the deck of the Black Pearl transformed into a festive scene with food and drink.
Ace, despite his initial intention to leave soon, couldn't resist Luffy's warm invitation and decided to stay for the banquet. He chatted and laughed with the crew members, feeling part of that large eccentric and welcoming crew, even if for a short while.
"They fell asleep again!" Kuina exclaimed in astonishment.
"It's the third time this has happened!" Reiju had to throw away her cigarette, surprised by the scene in front of her.
"Lami! Could this be some kind of disease? What if it's a contagious virus!? Quick, call a doctor!" Chopper shouted alarmed.
"I think you're exaggerating Chopper... It must be something family-related... Luffy always sleeps in front of his family..." Usopp said with a lost tone.
"Both are quite strange." Even Jimbei had to comment while tied up; he was lucky that Shirahoshi and Hachi brought food for him too.
Luffy and Ace woke up a while later as if nothing had happened, and they began to laugh and talk to each other, leaving everyone even more bewildered by the lack of awareness of those two.
As the day progressed and the sun began to tilt in the sky, Hachi steered the helm of the Black Pearl towards a nearby coast, a place where Ace could disembark and continue his journey. The ship docked smoothly on the sand, and everyone gathered on the deck to say goodbye.
Ace, now ready to leave, looked at Luffy and the other crew members. "Thanks for everything, guys. This was a moment I'll never forget. Take care of my brother, I know he causes a lot of trouble." His voice was laden with gratitude and a hint of sadness for the farewell.
Luffy approached, extending his hand for one last handshake. "Take care, brother. And remember what we talked about. We're always here for you and be careful. We'll find Sabo later together, you hear?"
Ace nodded, a determined smile on his face. "I know. And remember, Luffy, you're not invincible either. Be careful out there. Another thing, don't hurt Jimbei, that's the only thing I ask of you."
"Alright, Ace. Jimbei is already part of this crew, look how comfortable he is..." Luffy waved his hat confidently.
"I can hear everything and I never said I would join your crew, stop jumping to strange conclusions!" Jimbei shouted from the mast, and Luffy laughed at that.
With final words of encouragement and hugs, Ace jumped from the ship, leaving behind the crew. Luffy had taken his boat that he uses to move with his mera mera no mi, and Ace went ahead, leaving Alabasta.
"Your brother is a cool guy, Luffy," Zoro said, recalling how they drank together and how charismatic and likable Ace was.
"Hahaha. He is, it's a pity he doesn't listen to me, but everyone has their own adventure, and I respect that..." Luffy said with a reflective look towards where Ace was moving away from the coast.
"And are we going to Crocodile's base still, Luffy?" Vivi asked curiously.
"Yes, we're heading north, towards Crocodile's base, we're going to kick his butt and put an end to the nonsense he's been doing in the country!" Luffy announced, as everyone prepared the ship to move again.
Jimbei looked bewildered at Luffy, as he didn't know that this pirate planned to take down a Shichibukai.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Ace took down a Shichibukai, so I'll do the same!" Luffy said with a smile.
He knows that in the original work, Ace did exactly that, which is why the World Government tried to recruit him at the time, but Ace refused.
