A Special Kind of Quiet
“Hey, I want to show you something.” Ace looks serious, so Luffy stops trying to punch his brother and follows him. Away from the field where they’ve been sparring all day, away from the town, away from the sea that will carry Ace away, soon.
“Here." Here is a pond, surrounded by trees, and just enough space for a bit of sun and grass.
It's a great training ground.
Luffy throws a Gomu Gomu Pistol at Ace, who dodges it, frowning.
"Not here, Luff–" And Ace falls asleep mid-sentence. Again.
Luffy's attempt to take advantage of his brother's inattention fails spectacularly.
"Luffy – look, stop that – Luffy this is a secret place for us, okay?"
"We're going to fight in secret?"
"No Luffy, it's not – this is a place for quiet, alright?"
"We have to fight quietly?"
"No! No fighting, it...it's a mysterious quiet place, okay Luffy?"
"Ooooooooh." He's never seen a mysterious quiet place before.
So he sits beside Ace in the shade of the biggest tree and opens his ears to the special quiet his brother wanted to share with him.
It's...loud. The trees are making noise with the wind, and there are bird singing, and insects buzzing, and Luffy can hear beetles and it's almost as much fun as watching them.
And if Ace wants to sit together – their heads knocking every time he falls asleep, arms draped lazily over each other’s shoulders – instead of fight, that's good too.
They listen to the quiet-that-isn’t for a long time, until everything is shadows and the moon is glowing in the pond.
Luffy doesn’t remember getting to bed, but he must have because that’s where he wakes up in the morning.
After Ace leaves, he visits the clearing alone and remembers all their promises and dreams.
