Ashes Don't Lie (Asce)

Flames don’t fade — they just take new shape,

I was born from chaos they tried to erase.

Port-gus D. Ace, the cursed child of fate,

But I made the world feel the heat I create.

Fire in my veins, pain in my grin,

They feared my name ‘fore I learned to sin.

Burned by blood, reborn through war,

Even hell bowed down — I’m the fire’s core.

---

They said I’m Roger’s shame — I said I’m proof,

That kings can fall, but their fire is truth.

They spat on my name, so I set ‘em ablaze,

Carved my purpose in infernal ways.

I was the kid the world tried to erase,

But I stood my ground, flame in place.

From Dawn Island’s dirt to the Moby’s deck,

I earned my life with blood and respect.

Whitebeard called me son — that’s gospel, bitch,

I’d torch the seas for that fatherly wish.

We ate, we bled, we drank in hell,

But we laughed louder than the graves could tell.

Fire Fist Ace — pride untamed,

I’ll roast the heavens before I’m tamed.

Every Marine that thought I’d fold,

Just fueled the flames that never grow cold.

---

Ashes don’t lie — they chant my name,

From Dawn to Mah-reen-ford, I lit that flame.

You can kill the flesh, but the fire won’t die,

'Cause I left my soul in the smoke and sky.

Call me wrath, call me sin,

But I burned bright for the ones within.

Ashes don’t lie — they scream, they yearn,

Tell Loofy I smiled when it was my turn.

---

Impel Down tried to cage my flame,

But I broke those bars, made hell my game.

Even death couldn’t dim my spark,

Every scar I wear lights up the dark.

Teach betrayed — the world went red,

A brother’s knife straight to my dread.

He sold my soul for that filthy crown,

But I’d rise again just to burn him down.

At Mah-reen-ford's stage, I saw Pops roar,

Whole ocean shook like never before.

Loofy fought gods just to reach my chain,

That kid carried my will through pain.

Ah-kai-nu came with magma’s hate,

But I faced that flame and sealed my fate.

One last breath, no tears, no scream,

Just “Thank you,” Loofy — chase that dream.

Ashes don’t lie — they chant my name,

From Dawn to Mah-reen-ford, I lit that flame.

You can kill the flesh, but the fire won’t die,

'Cause I left my soul in the smoke and sky.

Call me wrath, call me sin,

But I burned bright for the ones within.

Ashes don’t lie — they scream, they burn,

Tell Loofy I smiled when it was my turn.

---

[Whispered:] The sea remembers. The fire returns.

My will’s in the waves, my flame still burns.

Freedom ain’t living — it’s dying unchained,

And I’d choose that death again, unrestrained.

---

Raise a glass for the ones who fell,

Whose hearts still burn where legends dwell.

I wasn’t perfect — I was free,

And that’s the fire that defines me.

Port-gus D. — the spark, the song,

I lived too fast, but I burned too strong.

No regrets, no silence, no disguise —

Just a brother’s promise that never dies.

(Ahh-hahahaha… the fire still flies.)
