Mmhm. He has one with our initials on his wrist, and I was considering the same. Maybe something else down the line, too, but I don't want to get ahead of myself.
[Shit. Ace is bordering on scared at this point. Luffy's love and approval mean so much to him, and he knows that he shouldn't be that nervous but he is anyway.] I am, I'm sorry. Damn.
[Ace pauses for a second, just breathing.] So Smoker and I are together. and we've been that way for a while now.
( Ace is with a sea cop??? Luffy is a little surprised, but he doesn't miss a beat. )
If he makes you happy I don't care.
( He was fighting against them at Marineford, but ... A lot has changed in the borders of this city. This is incredibly apparent. Though Smoker grilled him a bit, well ... He trusts Ace's judgment. )
But if he tries to arrest you or me or Sabo I'll drop him.
[Ace is almost shocked into silence. Luffy is so good to him, and only wants his happiness. And that means a lot to Ace.]
Thanks, Luffy. We're really happy. We've got a nice house and dogs and he feeds me all the time. [Priorities. Ace has them.] But listen. If he pulls shit like that you're gonna have to get in line. Because I'll kick his ass first.
It sounds like you have everything taken care of!! But ... I should expect that from you. Im not worried.
( Ace being alive and well and happy means the world to him; while he is not on the ... best of terms with Smoker, Luffy does know enough to respect his dear brother's choices. )
Yeah. I'm good. I won't do anything to make my brothers have to worry. And I can stand up for myself if things go sour. But it's been since April and he treats me good so I think everything will work out. [He's so relieved, honestly. Luffy is fine with this, even though he has every reason not to be, and that gives Ace a lot of good feelings. It's just easier for everyone involved if they're not battling.
Although, he doesn't expect them to get along well. But civil is good, and he was worried that Luffy would be upset like Sabo was.]
