Character development is key. Fanfictions explore how Ace and Luffy grow under Garp's influence. Maybe Luffy becomes more disciplined in some stories, or Ace learns to be more open - hearted, all thanks to their interactions with Garp and each other.
One possible plot could be that Luffy gets into a really tough situation during his adventures, perhaps surrounded by powerful enemies on an unknown island. In desperation, he calls out to Garp for help. Garp, despite his tough exterior, races to his grandson's aid. Along the way, he might reminisce about Luffy's growth and how far he has come.
They might have an epic battle to test Luffy's growth. Shanks could see how much stronger Luffy has become and be proud. Maybe Luffy will show off his new Haki abilities.
In fanfiction, when Sabo and Luffy meet again, they might have an emotional reunion. They could share stories of their adventures since they last saw each other. Sabo might show off his new skills or powers, and Luffy would be excited to see his brother again. They could also plan new adventures together, vowing to face any challenges as a team.
In addition to Luffy and Garp, other characters could also play important roles. For example, some of Luffy's crewmates like Zoro or Nami might be present when Luffy calls Garp. They could add their own perspectives and reactions. Also, there could be some marines around Garp when he receives the call, and their reactions to Garp's decision to go to Luffy could also be part of the story.
One popular ace luffy garp fanfiction is 'The Bonds of Family'. It delves deep into the complex relationships between Ace, Luffy, and Garp. It shows how their different personalities interact and how their family bond influences their actions.
Luffy might be more confident and less like a little kid around Shanks. He has grown a lot, and Shanks would notice this. Their relationship could become more of an equal partnership in terms of respect.
Their relationship would likely deepen. They would have a stronger bond as brothers. They might understand each other's dreams and goals even better. Sabo would support Luffy's pursuit of the One Piece more actively, and Luffy would be more aware of Sabo's role in the revolutionary cause.
I don't have enough context to determine exactly who 'garp' is. It could be a newly created character by the fanfic writer, or it might be a character from a relatively unknown story that is being incorporated into the 'ace fanfic'.
