Chapter 14: Meeting Dragon

As the days kept passing Ace and Capone had finally found where Dragon had been hiding in Loguetown they were finally going to go meet and talk to him. When the sun started to rise Ace crawled out of bed and began to work on his martial arts like he usually did when he got up out of bed in the morning. He was looking forward to today because what he was going to talk with Dragon today was going to decide a lot of people lives and deaths.

When everyone was ready and prepared the group of Ace, Capone, Scott, and Colton all set out to the run-down building Dragon was hiding in. Sine Ace didn't know how he would respond to him and his crew he decided that they would come ready to fight. Ace was wearing his war outfit which looked like 'Hits' jacket from Dragonball Z except it was red and black with white fur on the inside. Capone was wearing his signature suit with his fedora, smoking on a cigar. Colton was just wearing black gi trunks and white sandals. As far as Scott, he was wearing a golden button up shirt like Luffys and he was also wearing black dress pants and dress shoes.

As they made their way down the street in a triangle formation with Ace in the front, Capone on his right side, Colton on the left side, and Scott directly behind him to be the support guy for whoever needed it. Everyone in the street moved out of the way as they could see how serious this group of men were. When they reached the building Ace stood outside of it for a few minutes using his observation haki trying to see who was all inside and seeing what they were saying. He could hear almost every word they were speaking on the inside but every word they spoke was only in one-word phrases. It seems that every single word they used had a meaning behind like code.

Noticing that they weren't gonna come to him he motioned for everyone to make their way to the door and to stay on alert just in case they became hostile. As he knocked on the door he could hear shuffling going on inside and a few moments later it all went silent and he started to hear someone make their way to the door. When the individual opened the door Ace saw an old lady wearing shabby clothing and smiling at them sweetly. Ace seeing the old lady he bowed to her and smiled sweetly and kindly to her and used his most respectful and nicest voice he could muster and asked her " Young madam, would it be alright if we spoke to your guess. I promise to not cause a beautiful woman such as yourself any problems or discomfort at your own home".

The old woman seeing the dazzlingly young man made her wish she was 50 years younger but unfortunately, time doesn't stop for anyone and she also had a job to do so she told Ace " Sorry handsome but I'm the only one home but if you'd like to come back later for some tea I wouldn't turn you away, I'm just doing some cleaning and since I'm not in my prime anymore its gonna take a while to get this place cleaned up".

Ace seeing the lady still being sweet didn't get mad and he also knew she had a job to do as well but he had to speak to Dragon immediately and leave as soon as possible to get his other plans done before all hell broke loose in this world. Ace then leaned down towards the old lady and said "I know Dragon is in the home madam with a few others as well but if you and him don't want to speak to me I will have to force my way inside to speak with him. I don't think either of you wants that, so if you'd please just let us inside to speak we will all talk in a civilized discussion without anyone finding out where the man running the Revolutionary Army is staying at the moment".

The woman hearing Ace had a shocked expression upon her face and told him to wait here for a moment. As the door closed he told his men to stay vigilant and waited for the lady to return. As they waited outside for a few moments the door opened back up and the madam invited them inside. Ace smiled at the woman and thanked her for allowing him inside her home.

As Ace went to the highest floor and opened the door into the back bedroom he saw the man, one of the most wanted criminals in the world governments eyes and the leader of the Revolutionary Army Monkey D. Dragon. As they looked at one another and sizing each other up along with the few members of each of their party, Ace was the first to speak up while looking at Dragon " Pleasure to meet you Dragon I'm here to ask if we could have a private discussion with one another, I promise it will be very beneficial for both of us".

Dragon stood there for a minute or so just staring at Ace and seeing if he was being genuine. As he saw Ace with the same exact expression upon his face he decided to hear the young man out and see what he had to offer. He then told Ace in a deep and serious voice to take a seat and tell him what he had to say to him that was so important.

**********************************************

Hours passed by and at the end of it if you were there that day in the room you would have seen Dragon shaking Aces hand and agreeing to his plans along with the terms as well. What was discussed between them would only be known to those that were there that day but everyone would know in the future that this was the day that Dragon and the future Emperor agreed to work together.

As Ace and his men made their way out of the building and made it their way back towards the ship no one said a word all anyone would see was Aces men with almost ashen white faces and Ace with an almost devilish smile across his face as if knowing he had won. When they made it back to the ship he ordered them to inform the crew to set sail at any moment tomorrow because they would all be leaving for the Grand Line when Ace ordered them to depart. Although strange, everyone nodded to Ace and then left to carry out his wishes. When Ace made it back to his quarters he laid down in his bed and couldn't wait to wake up to see what he thought was one of the coolest moments in the manga he read during his last life which was when Luffy made it into Loguetown and due to some unimaginable luck survived being killed and also being seen by everyone as some sort of chosen one. Unfortunately for Luffy, this wasn't the manga anymore and he wasn't the protagonist either, Ace was and he was going to take over this world along with everything in it.

Besides seeing one of his most favorite scenes in the manga what he secretly couldn't wait to see was what he considered one of the most beautiful women in this or any world and that was Nami. He knew that if he could whew her his life would already become the best in the world and he wouldn't have to worry about almost anything else besides making her happy but if he could become emperor and get other women along the way then that was an added bonus. If only tomorrow could come sooner was the last thought that went through Aces head before he fell into a deep and relaxing sleep in his bed dreaming of Nami.
