In the East Blue on Dawn Island you could see a boy racing through the forest at the moment while taking down giant animals left and right. Now this boy who was a mere fifteen years old at the moment was called Monkey D. Luffy.

"I'm gonna be King of the Pirates!" He shouted as his fist stretched out as he took down another animal, this time a giant tiger.

He took down a couple more animals before he left the area and started making his way towards a house that had a sign on it that read Dadan's country. There were a couple people outside that waved to Luffy as he passed by and in response Luffy waved back while having a huge grin on his face. Then a big woman came out of the house with an angry look on her face.

"Hey Dadan!" Luffy shouted as he waved at her.

"Where's the food you brat?" Dadan shouted as she looked at Luffy.

"Shishishi I forgot it." He laughed.

"You realize with no food then that means there's no meat for us to cook right?" Magra asked as he walked out and blinked.

"Wait where'd he go?" Magra asked as he saw that Luffy wasn't there any more.

"The brat took off right when you mentioned no meat." Dadan grumbled even though she had a hint of a smile on her face.

Luffy was wondering through the forest as he was looking for the animals he took down earlier.

"Crap where's those stupid animals I took down, especially that tiger!" Luffy mumbled to himself as he drooled thinking about the meat.

"Oh come on out tiger!" Luffy yelled out as his stomach started grumbling.

Luffy started day dreaming as he thought about all the different types of meat he could eat, so he didn't notice that he was nearing the edge of the forest and started walking onto the beach.

"Wait when did I get here?" Luffy mumbled as he snapped out of his day dream. Luffy looked out into the ocean and saw the sun setting as it started to get dark. He was about to turn around and leave when something else caught his eye as he saw something heading towards Dawn Island. It appeared to be a Marine ship as he saw the sails that wore the marine emblem.

"Is that Grandpa?" Luffy froze as he thought about what his Grandpa had in store for him this time. Especially since his big brother Ace had left a year ago and his Grandpa hadn't come near the island since.

Luffy snapped out of his musings and decided that it would be best to go and find some meat and eat. Incase that was his Grandpa wanting do do another training session while he had an empty stomach. He did give one last hesitant glance to the ship as he couldn't help but feel something was off, until he shook it off as hunger and ran back into the forest.

On the ship that was currently out on the sea there was an important discussion going on.

"So are you sure Fire Fist Ace has a brother?" A marine named Casper asked.

"Yes that's what we've heard and we found some letters that indicated that he was talking to someone in the East Blue." The Vice Admiral called Richey replied.

"So how can you be sure that he's talking to a brother?" Abby, another marine popped out a question.

"Because he put take care baby brother in his letters." Richey said, while looking a bit annoyed.

"Are you sure that's not a code for anything?" Another marine called Ryan asked as he walked into the room.

"You're late again," Richey looked highly annoyed now. "And no we're pretty sure it's not."

"I'm not the only one who's late, Owen and Sally are late again too." Ryan replied as he sat down into a chair.

"Yeah they're probably too busy making out." Casper smirked as he fist bumped Ryan.

"Who's too busy making out?" Two people asked as they rushed into the room.

Ryan and Casper were about to reply when suddenly Richey gave everybody a glare as he spoke up.

"Now that we're all here we can get down to business."

"What business?" Owen asked as he buttoned his shirt up all the way to cover up some hickeys that were on his neckline.

"You would know if you were here earlier." Richey gave him an annoyed glare "Anyway tomorrow we plan to dock on the island and find out any information we can get about Fire Fist's brother."

"How are we going to do that, sir?" Sally asked as she looked at him confused.

"You're going to ask the town's people about anyone suspicious and find out about anyone who's younger than Fire Fist."

"What should we do if we find that person, sir?" Ryan asked as his eyes took a serious edge to them.

"You would take them in of course." Richey replied in a calm tone. "You will bring seastone cuffs with you incase he's a devil fruit user. As well as use them whether he says he'll come willing or unwilling, since we don't want him to runaway after all. So are we clear?"

"Sir yes, sir!" All the marines shouted as they saluted him.

Meanwhile back with Luffy who was just finishing up his lovely meal of tigers meat.

"Hey Dadan is there any more news about Ace?" Luffy asked while accidentally spitting out food all over the place.

"Yeah brat a pigeon just arrived today while you were gone." Dadan replied.

"Really what did he say? Did he go on any cool adventures? Did he make any new nakama? Did he talk about a different types of meat? Has he decided to come back and make me his Captain yet?" Luffy kept rambling on with different questions.

"Shut up brat I can only answer one at a time!" Dadan shouted as she started to get annoyed. "Besides why don't you read the letter yourself."

She took something out of her pocket and handed it to Luffy.

Luffy looked really excited as he took the note with one hand as he started reading the letter out loud.

Hi Luffy I know it's been awhile since we've talked. I hope you've been doing well and haven't been eaten again. Anyway right now I'm off with my crew trying to defeat one of the strongest man in the seas. He's pretty strong but just you wait I'm going to beat him and be known throughout the whole world. I look forward to you starting off on your journey two years from now and running into you. But for now we can communicate with the carrier pigeon, just write a note and stick it on the birds leg. If you need help ask Makino not the old hag. Anyway I look forward to your note and to one day meeting again, from - Ace.

Luffy looked at the date and saw that this note was written about four months ago. He was about to ask something when Dadan suddenly stood up.

"Why that brat when I see him again he's dead" Dadan yelled as it looked like she had fire surrounding her.

"Why?" Luffy asked just as he finished off his meat.

"He called me an old hag!" Dadan shouted.

"Yeah I thought you already read it?" Luffy asked as he looked confused.

"No of course I didn't read it! Do you think I would look at somebody else's message?" Dadan asked as she glared at Luffy.

"Yes." Luffy bluntly stated.

"Why you!" Dadan stated furiously as she punched Luffy over the head. Even though it did no good since he was made out of rubber after all.

"Hey why'd you do that!" Luffy shouted as he bounced back to his original position.

"You know why brat!" Dadan shouted just as Magra walked towards them with a pigeon in his arms.

"Hey Luffy here's the pigeon that Ace sent." Magra said even though he backed away a little bit as he saw Dadan was in a bad mood. "Do you guys need me to come back later?"

"No!" They both shouted back.

"Ok." Magra stated nervously as they both glared at each other. "Here you go then." He walked towards Luffy and handed him the pigeon along with a piece of paper and a quill with ink.

"Thanks." Luffy grinned as he started writing back.

"Hey brat you better tell Ace that he's getting a beating when he comes back for calling me a hag." Dadan grunted as she walked away.

"Um I guess I'll just go now too" Magra said as he turned around. "Oh one last thing. Luffy, you know how to send the letter right?"

"Shishishi of course." Luffy grinned as he looked towards Magra.

"Ok." Magra stated as he walked away with a small smile on his face.

Luffy continued to write for a little bit until he finished. He rolled the little piece of paper up and tied it around the birds leg and then sent the bird off. Then he smiled as he thought about all the adventures he would go on in two years as he turned around and went back to Dadan's country for the night. Even though he couldn't shake off this foreboding feeling he had in his stomach.

Authors Note Time ;). Also I don't own One Piece.

Yeah I started another story *sweat drop*. Anyway I actually planned to do this one before any of my others but it somehow got pushed onto the back burner until I remembered I told the author I would do the challenge soon about three weeks ago. I'm so sorry please forgive me.

Now this fic was a challenge/prompt from Oh My Cabbage and if you have time I suggest going to check out her stories since they're amazing ;). Also yes Ace and the other Whitebeard pirates will be coming in next chapter, so I hope you guys can look forward to that.

Now no flames but I don't mind constructive criticism. I also answer everybody's reviews through PM but if you're a guest I'll answer them next chapter. Also yes the marines are OCs because I couldn't find any good excuse for any of the marines that we've seen so far in the series to show up and take Luffy. I was actually thinking about Akainu but then I was like no he would probably just kill Luffy. So yep it sort of went that way with the other marines I looked at as well. Or their personality didn't fit with taking an innocent child like Smoker or some of the other marines.

Also this isn't my main story so it doesn't have a specific update day so it'll only get updated after I have another chapter done whether that's a day from now, a week, or a month. But don't worry I definitely plan on continuing this fic and it might get a main update day during the summer when I have more time to write.

Please try to review as I love hearing everybody's opinion. Anyway thanks for reading and until next time ;).
