How It All Started
A/N: Hello everyone. Yes, I am finally back. I was having tons of problems with my computer, and I still do but not as much, making me unable to update anything. Anyways, this story is, if you haven't guessed it yet, my view of how Ace and Sabo first met before Luffy came along and into their lives since nobody else, that I know of, has written it yet. Anyways, enjoy. :D
Disclaimer: I do not own One Piece. Otherwise both Ace and Sabo would still be alive.
Chapter 1:
Hunting Day
It has been several days since Sabo left home and the noble life and is currently living in Gray Terminal, also known as Trash Mountain. Now he's in the nearby forest, hunting for dinner. As he searched around the area, he found a decent-sized deer, minding its own business, eating the bit of vegitation in the area.
"Deer meat should last me a few days," the young noble mumbled to himself. As he readied his steel pipe, he snuck up on the animal, getting ready to strike.
But before he even got a chance to, somebody else already has beaten him to the pulp. It was a young boy which Sabo noticed was around his age and was using the exact weapon as he was. "What the hell?!" Sabo yelled, making the other turn to him, "That was MY dinner that YOU had just killed!"
The boy scoffed. "Your dinner? As if. I had my eyes on it first. And besides, this is MY forest so everything that's in it is MINE to keep, even the animals. Now your in my territory, so go back to where you came from."
"YOU CAN'T OWN THE FOREST, YOU BAKA!" Sabo yelled, really ticked off, "the forest is free territory so anyone can enter by their own free will. Besides, what makes you think that you even own this place?"
"Nobody else comes here so I don't see why not." Sabo just sighed in frustration. "You know what, this isn't even worth the fight. I'm just gonna go hunt in a different area. So see ya." He then went off. "So what? Now you're just gonna go without a fight?" the other boy called.
"Like I said: not worth the fight," Sabo called back. He then stopped his tracks. "Hey! I didn't catch your name."
"Why would you care about my name? It's not like we're friends or anything."
"How about I give you my name. Would you tell me then?"
"I guess," the other answered.
"Fine. My name is Sabo. I used to live where all the nobles live and now I live in Trash Mountain. Why I left that kind of life is none of your concern."
"Whatever," the boy said then turned to leave. "Oi," Sabo called, "you didn't tell me your name."
"The name is Ace," the boy named Ace answered, "Portgaz D. Ace and don't you forget it."
Sabo just rolled his eyes. "Well then, Portgaz," he started, "I hope to never see you again."
"Same here," Ace agreed, seeing Sabo leave after that. "What is a noble doing out here where no noble belongs?" he wondered to himself then left for home, bringing the dead deer with him.
A/N: Well that's the end of chapter one. I bet you were wondering why they were both arguing. Well, I didn't say that they were gonna get along when they first meet, but they will eventually. Anyways, my next chapter will be up in...actually, I don't know when I'll update. Maybe tomorrow, if I'm lucky, maybe the next day. It all depends.
Anyways R&R Please :D
