A/N hey it's Kate; this is my new fic on a Blind! Ace, this is just a started chapter and I will be uploading longer and better chapters.

Being blind wasn't the most difficult thing in Ace's life, surprisingly. No that honor went to his stupid brother, Luffy. It was strange to think that even though he was blind he was the more protective of the pair. He chocked it up to the fact the Luffy intentionally did stupid stuff and got into dangerous situations; therefore causing him to worry for the rubber brat. Ace recalled a time where he would of done anything to get Luffy off his back and to stop annoying him; but that changed when Sabo died. After his beloved brother died Ace now decided to do everything in his power to prevent another brother from dying.

Ace knew that he was an awful brother, he knew he was a useless blind piece of trash, and he knew that his father made him a monster undeserving of a family, but he also knew that no matter what he had to protect his last brother. What happened to him didn't matter, he didn't matter, but for Luffy, for Luffy he would sacrifice everything. Though being blind made that rather difficult.

It started when ace was young, no older than three. At first it was just his vision blurring around the edges making it hard to read or see anything in great detail, but over the years it progressed. When he was 6 his vision was so bad that Dandan and the other bandits took him to the doctor in Fuchsia* Village. The news wasn't good, it turns out that ace had a hereditary eye disease, and within a few years he would be totally blind. Luckily for Ace once he was totally blind the disease wouldn't affect him anymore, its only purpose was to prevent him from ever seeing again, there was no treatment.

By the time he was 8 he was totally blind. But he adapted, he learned to adjust himself to his surroundings, how to listen to movement and judge disturbances. He got so good at using his sense he didn't need a cane, he only had to occasionally use his pipe. By no means was it perfect, he still fell flat on his face a couple times and as attacked by wild beasts, but he still survived. He was alive and that was all that mattered.

Then he met Sabo, and it was like for the first time in years seeing the light, Sabo, (once he found out about Ace's blindness) didn't treat him any different. He treated Ace like an equal and rarely pitied Ace. For once in Ace's miserable life someone treated him like a human being and it made him feel warm inside even though he felt he want worthy of it.

A/N what did you think? I know it's not long but its only to get my creative juices flowing… Any ideas or things you want to see? Till next time BYE!
