Poor Ace. :( He's found himself in what the cardians call "the hot seat".

This is part one of his punishment after the Queen of Hearts comes onto him and the King of Hearts catches them. Part two is getting exiled into the desert, where more fun stuff happens.

The king is a butt and wanted to make sure he was thoroughly bastinadoed before sending him to walk in the desert. WAY TO BE SUPER MEAN, KING.

Once his feet heal, though, everything should turn out better for the guy. :3 There's a lot of good opportunities in the desert as well!
