#wow this is stockholmy

[xamaxenta]

Gratuitous marcoace mafia au where Marco is the underboss second in command soon to take the boss seat

Marco and some of the family going to an underground fight ring to meet a competitor, maybe marco shows up personally as a threat, see why they’re intruding on his territory

Ace being one of the fighters, rookie but undefeated in his set

Competitor knows abt him, looking to use Ace in other rings win tons off betting on him

Marcos like i think you’ve forgotten whos turf youre intruding upon

Everything within these borders are his, including the people and he will do whatever he sees fit with them

Maybe kills this dude out back for their audacity intending to mail their parts back to whereever they came from

Ace stumbles across this like oh fuck you just killed that dude, please dont hurt me i promise i wont tell the cops—

Marcos like hm why are you here, throwing your life away?

Ace is like wow shut the fuck up assuming things of me i need money my brothers really sick this is the only thing im good at and it pays well as long as no one gives me trouble

Marco offering him all the money he needs to live and save his brother and Ace kinda backs up like whats the catch i dont trust you, you just killed someone

Marcos like i dont need your trust ill be betting on you next time, all the winnings goes to your brother

And he keeps his promise everything is given to Ace to support Luffy and maybe its a little stockholmy maybe its a little like Ace being very dependant on Marco, that they fall in love along the way 👀
