Its been three years now since that incident & Teach has finally showed up in the newspaper so I think Ace is going after him, I don't know, but he probably is. Currently I'm in Alabasta, inventing stuff here. The heat doesn't really bother me but it really bothers Sly & he's sweating up a storm, why am I in Alabasta? I have a couple reasons but we'll find that out in the future, right now I'm 23 & the scar Teach left is pretty big
I'm 6'5 in height, my hair is a tad bit longer but not to long, I've grown slightly mature & I'm much stronger then before. The tattoo I got from Whitebeard is on my lower left part of my abdomen & yeah! I stand up & wrap my scarf around me while pulling my goggles up but was quickly blinded by the son
"ARGH!! My eyes!"
"Oh shut up!" I laugh at Sly & see half of his body was in the shade with the rest was in the sun, I remember him getting a tattoo as well & it was on his chest. I light a cigarette before going back into the little & fixing something. Technically I was bored & I started building a giant mechanical scorpion... hey I was bored okay! I light the blow torch & flip my goggles down & start melting the metals so they could stick, when so I heard Sly groan "Its so hot~!"
"Why don't you use your wings to shade yourself?"
"I would but I'm to hot to do anything!" I roll my eyes & set the blow torch down & started screwing some things in, when that was done I noticed something out of place so when I move it back, it exploded & black smoke was in my face. I stood up & started coughing the black smoke & when I look up I notice it came alive
"It works!" I look at its eyes & notice it was red, it suddenly smirked at me "Shit."
(Third Person POV)
Currently Luffy, Ace & the Straw hat pirates, plus the Princess Vivi, were walking through the desert & they were already tired. Ace wasn't so hot since he was able to handle the temperature because of his devil fruit power, the others were dying
"Man this is so heavy...!" he looks over at Luffy & see's he was dragging all their stuff, he lost in rock, paper, scissors so he had to carry their stuff. That was until he noticed the shade & ran towards it, Ace chuckled at that the rest followed after him
"Is Luffy-san always like this? Even when he was young?"
"Oh yes, the one who could really calm him down was Alex!"
"Who's Alex?"
"He's our oldest brother! I think he's 23 right now, yeah definitely 23. The last time we ever saw each other was 3 years ago when he 20, he was pretty strong he kicked my butt! I don't think he'll hit Luffy's unless he gets on his nerves."
"Whats he like?"
"Alex is a gentleman, he's very polite but mostly to women."
"Is he a pervert?" the navigator asked
"No, he is not a pervert! He's very kind to them unless they are very pushy towards him, he shows respect to them, kinda like Sanji. He's also a good cook, he has a scar across his face & one going up his jawline. He always wears a scarf, cap & goggles too same with his locket."
"Locket? Whats in it?"
"A picture of his little sister."
"Aw~ That's so sweet." he nods in agreement, they made it to the shade & their stuff was taken by birds. Luffy ran after it while the others screamed for him to come back... he didn't. Ace rolls his eyes & sat down, few minutes later Luffy came back with a giant lizard chasing after him while he was riding a camel
"Hmm, there he is." Luffy, Zoro & Sanji easily defeated it. Soon enough another one showed up but Ace set it on fire, & they ate it. While Ace was eating some of it he looked out into the desert & noticed something in the distance "Does anyone else see that?" they all look over & saw whatever it was, coming towards them
"Usopp, do you think you can see what it is?" Nami asked
"Yeah, let me check!" he uses his goggles & zooms in on what it was, he was confused at first but noticed that a figure was flying towards them so he ducked as the figure crashed into the rocky wall
"What the hell?!" soon enough a scythe was flown their way & landed just above his head
"Hey! I made you, you treat me with respect." they all look over to see who he was talking to & it was a giant mechanical scorpion, & it swayed with sass towards him

"Did you just sass at me?" suddenly it smirked "Son of a bitch, sorry for my language." Ace raises an eyebrow, he knows someone who says that after they swear, so he laughs a little. He grabs his scythe & jumps in the air, the tail of it went towards him but he dodged & stabbed its tail. He landed on the ground & started spinning his scythe, bringing the scorpion with it
Sending the scorpion flying & running after it, they all stood in shock but just had a smirk on his face. Alex snapped his fingers then clenched his fist & the sand flew into his hand & started floating around it & the sand started to follow his command
"Is he Crocodile? He's controlling the sand!"
"N-No! Crocodile isn't that young!"
"Then who is that?!" he ran towards it & went under it before ripping something out then grabbing its tail & throwing it far, causing it to explode, he sighs
"It took me weeks to make that... lets go rebuild it." he grabbed its tail & started dragging it away until he heard someone yell
"Hey! Who are you?!" he turns around & notice's it was Luffy who asked, he ignored him & yelled out
"Hey Ace! Kick Teach's ass for me will you?!"
"Will do!" he lazily salutes him before walking off, Ace sits back & grins while the others look at him with their jaws dropped "What?"
"You know him?!"
"Of course, he's a friend of mine." he smirks to himself before laughing
