A.N. The last chapter! I hope. Today all day I did nothing but write this story, I think I mentioned this in last chapter, but now I just feel like complaining even though there is nothing to complain about…

A week later…

I stared into space and my mind was empty, the door suddenly opened and a raven haired ball of energy flew in. "Smokey!"

I jumped up; fuck he called me just like Ace did. "Get off me brat, you know I hate when you do that."

Luffy got of me and sat on my desk he started to swing his legs and hum. "Guess what."

"I don't want to."

The younger male pouted. "You're no fun."

"I'm not supposed to be fun, I'm supposed to be a policeman."

"Fine, we can skip guessing. I'm finally getting my department! And you're going to be part of it~"

I groaned; why?! Luffy was famous for always solving cases, but not many knew how reckless he was while doing so, of course he was a good leader and would never put his men in danger, but that didn't mean wasn't constantly in it. "What department did you get?"

"Homicide or something."

I felt my eyes widen. "How many people will you get?"

Luffy looked at his hands and started bending fingers. "Seven. If we can count Nami and Robin it's nine and with me it's ten."

I rubbed my forehead. "That's a lot, where are you going to get that much men?"

The raven head grinned. "There will be done several transfers from other departments – like Zoro and you."

I nodded. "So when do I start working?"

Luffy laughed. "That's the spirit! Next week, but tonight all of us are gathering with our other half's to get to know each other better."

"And other half is what for?"

Luffy laughed again. "I wanna meet Sanji, beside people show other side of themselves when they're with their lovers."

"You said something smart."

The man on my table pouted. "Why everyone get surprised when I do?!"

I laughed; Luffy somehow always manages to lift my mood up, maybe it won't be so bad to work with him? "So where do we meet?"

"My place, Zoro said that he and Sanji will come early and cook, so my place, at seven."

Luffy jumped off my desk. "You still live in the same apartment?"

"Yea I do, so see you at seven?"

I nodded; better to know with what kind of crazy people I'm going to work from now on. "Sure."

Luffy grinned and ran out of my cabinet; how such a young man could become a Major? It's a mystery to me.

Five minutes to seven I knocked on Luffy's apartment door when Zoro opened the door I raised an eyebrow. "They let you open the door, or you just were looking for bathroom?"

A pissed expression appeared on Zoro's face and I snickered. "If you want to I can close the door and ask someone else to open the door for you."

I patted the green haired man's shoulder. "Nah, you will be fine."

Zoro stepped away and I came in, I extended a bottle of whiskey to him. "I believe you're managing the alcohol here?"

Zoro took the bottle and nodded. "I'm going to see how Sanji's doing."

Zoro walked out of the corridor and I followed him, we walked into Luffy's living room, it looked exactly the same as it did two years ago – big grey sofa, a table in the middle of the room and three armchairs around the other sides of table there was a new TV on the wall, but it wasn't turned on. At one of the armchairs Law sat and Luffy was sitting in his lap; it looks that even after two years of long stance relationship those two are still together. "It's been a long time Law."

Trafalgar looked up and smiled with one of those creepy smiles of his; I have no idea why Luffy's dating him. "Hello Smoker."

I sat at other armchair and looked around the room. "So no one else is here yet?"

Luffy smiled. "Well the three of us live here now 'cause Law sold his apartment when he left and my brother moved in here when I moved out and sold his."

I raised an eyebrow. "Brother? I thought Sabo lives with Nami?"

Luffy shook his head. "No my other brother! He worked in Whitebeard's gun dealing department and yesterday came back from his undercover mission. He will also be transferred into my department from next week onwards, until then he has to do loads of paperwork."

I nodded; there is always something new to learn about this guy. "So when will I meet that mysterious brother of yours?"

Luffy shrugged. "He's sleeping now, he will come when he wakes up."

There was knock on the door and then the sound of door opening, footsteps could be heard and four people came in – Nami with her husband Sabo, he's Luffy's older brother, apparently, not the only one. After Nami followed Robin with her husband Franky, I knew these two pairs 'cause I have worked with both Nami and Robin before. The four sat on the sofa and the room filed with voices, but when one sleepy voice that I was too familiar with spoke I didn't hear or saw anything.

Ace stood in the doorway to the corridor and was yawning. "What's the commotion all about?"

He looked around the room and noticed me, his body language immediately changed and he stiffened; fuck, why is he here, why there's a gang member in a room filled with cops? Luffy and Sabo's face lit up. "Ace! You're finally up! To those who don't know – this is Portgas D Ace, my older brother, he was part of Whitebeard's forces, but now due to my promotion he's going to be part of our department." Luffy explained to everyone.

Wait, so he's the brother that was undercover? Does that mean that when he was taking down those thugs two weeks ago he really tried to help that woman? Did he cut our relationship 'cause of the risks? I need explanations, this all week I was thinking if there would have been any way we could have worked out, four out of those seven nights I couldn't fall asleep. I stood up and walked to Ace who was still standing there frozen; I guess he knew nothing about me and him being part of the same department, huh? I pushed him out of the living room to the corridor. "I need some explanations brat."

While walking out I heard Nami asking Luffy how do I know Ace and Luffy responding that he didn't knew that we're familiar with each other. Ace looked at me with a mix of emotions on his face and opened his mouth to ask me something, but I shushed him by covering his mouth with mine; oh I longed these lips this week. Ace returned the kiss and I felt relived; at least it doesn't look like he's going to reject me, but I still need answers.

I pulled from him panting. "Which one is your room? I need answers."

Ace showed me the door that were at his left and I opened the door and dragged him inside. The room had a big bed in the middle and the only other piece of furniture was a wardrobe in the corner of the room. I sat on the bed and Ace sat right in front of me. "Speak."

"For a long time 'New World' had been selling guns to other gangs and mafias, it basically was the center of gun dealing, so Whitebeard's department made a plan for undercover mission. I decided to go there as a volunteer, when I met you I was already near the top – I could reach almost all information we needed. What I told you then is the truth, I didn't know you're a cop and if I have stayed it could have blown my whole cover. When I walked to your house that evening I was planning to say that for several weeks we won't be able to meet and after that would have come to you and told everything."

I sighed. "What about your tattoo? Those thugs back then started chasing you after you had showed it to them, right? What's so special about it?"

Ace took his shirt off and turned around, now I could make out all features of the tattoo – it was a purple bones crossed like a cross and there was a skull that had white mustached that looked a lot like deputy chief's mustache. "I did that as teenager, while being in underworld it kind of became my signature, there weren't many thugs who didn't know fire-fist – second in command of 'New world' and with a purple tattoo."

"Your mission is now finished, right?"

Ace nodded. "Yes, with my information two days ago we captured 'New world' selling guns to Don Krieg's gang, so now both of those groups are in jail."

I nodded and stood up; everything fell back in places now. "Are you willing to try one more time?"

Ace grinned happily. "I thought you will never ask."

He stood up and I walked out to the corridor; I will meet my new colleagues some other time, now I have something I'm interested more in. We quickly put on our shoes and walked out of Luffy's apartment.

When Smoker and Ace entered Ace room…

Zoro looked at the closed door with a confused expression 'What just happened?' The green haired man went to the living room and saw many confused face's, he turned to Luffy. "Hey Luf, since when Smoker and Ace know each other?"

Luffy shrugged. "Don't ask me."

Nami looked at Zoro with a questioning look. "What did you saw?"

"Them making out in the corridor."

Several mouths hanged open. "What?!"

Sabo, Nami and Luffy were the most surprised ones, Law and Robin just shared a knowing look, they had an idea when Smoker dragged Ace out of the room. Franky just looked around confused – he didn't know Ace at all and only met Smoker several times, so he didn't understand what everyone were so surprised about 'They kind of looked nice together.'

A.N. Oh man, finally finished, still one more story to go… But I will do it! Well it's the end if you kind of hope that there will be more, so yea, Bye! [l.l]/
