Summary
Ace had never wanted to be a marine. He thought they were boring and corrupt and way too uptight. They valued order and submission over freedom and were relentless in their attempts at cleansing those they deemed 'undesirable' from the world. And since Ace was one of those they considered as such, he hated them even more.
And then life somehow got worse and he was told—with no chance to protest—that he was going to join the Marines once he came of age and he would spend his life there. No amount of protesting or arguing could sway his grandfather and while Ace could have probably just told him to go to hell and done what he wanted anyway, he couldn't because the man at the head of it all knew all about Ace's inherited crimes and had told them that should Ace refuse, he would tell the entire world who Ace was and exactly where they could find him.
Or, Ace is a marine and he hates it but he doesn't have a choice. Or does he?

Summary
“You’re recruiting this moron who tries to kill you several times a day and isn’t even smart enough to know that I can kill him with a thought?” Law scoffed. “Your standards are slipping.”
“We kept you, didn’t we?” Whitebeard laughed, not bothering to hide his amusement anymore. “Didn’t you stab Marco when he came back to collect you and Rosinante?”
“That doesn’t count. He’s a phoenix and I was fourteen,” Law replied. “This is a half naked arsonist with a knife and a cowboy hat.” -

Summary
Family is a messy word for people who were chewed up and spat out by a world where money and power is more important than love and warmth. This fact is true even for the most dangerous child alive, a girl born with the power to copy the very power that many seek: Devil Fruits. With the word 'justice' on their backs, marines hunted her down, burning everything in the way, unaware that she would find home in a world far away from the laws that sought to control; in a world of pirates.
