It is just another reaosn for us all to hate Blackbeard, I guess. He fucks Ace up, has him running all over the Grand Line trying to fix his mess, and he keeps Ace from ravaging Zoro. The bastard! XD

Ace/Zoro really deserves more love - I think it's a secret pet pairing of most of the yaoi-loving fandom, but I don't remember seeing it before. Ace/Sanji I've seen, and Ace/Luffy, and, of course, a multitude of Smoker/Ace, but I really can't recall ever reading anything Ace/Zoro. Which is just wrong, on so many levels.
