Hello fellow readers! Welcome to my first story I am here to present my lack of creativity and English skills on a website that allow people to read the... interesting imaginations of authors. And most of those people don't want to admit it.

WARNING: Don't expect characters to be written right.

In that case, kick back, relax and enjoy, cause here we go.

Blue. Blue is the first thing that could see as my eyes open.

Wait. No, now there's white. Clouds?

The sky. Is that what it's called? Yeah that's the sky.

I sit up slowly and stare at the world around me. Multiple words popping in my mind and giving me a mild headache.

Sun, sky, clouds, sea, sand. I turn around and even more information enters my brain.

Trees, grass, flowers, leaves. I close my eyes in attempt to slow down my brain and one word kept echoing.

Darkness.

After a few long seconds I open my eyes and found myself looking at the line where the sky meets the sea with the sun rising above it. Whilst being entranced by the sight, a sudden loud rumbling sound rang in my ears. I jump up and look around me in a state of panic but only to look down and realise that it was my stomach rumbling.

Sighing in relief that there is no danger around, I walk around to search for some food.

High and low I search but there is nothing. Maybe they are hiding from me. Have I seen that tree before? Damn I must be going in circles. Then a lightbulb went off in my head. I tilt my head so I could look at the sky and began climbing the tree that towers over me. On the way up I hit my head off a branch above me and it hurt like hell. I cry out as I clutched my head in pain but then I could see something. Something fabric.

There is a thickly wrapped bandage around my head. I wonder why that's there? What happened?

I continue to climb to the top where now I could practically see the whole island. I scan the area for anything that's consumable. I note that there was a ship and I could vaguely see a group gathering in the middle. That's when I could see it.

Black smoke in the distance not to far away. Black smoke means people which mean they have food right?

I grin to myself at the thought of eating and decided my destination. Without a care, I jump across the trees whilst descending towards where the black smoke is rising. I found myself progressively running faster and faster suddenly feeling desperate to get there until I stop.

A few feet in front of me a single person chowing down on a mountain of food in front of a campfire. Meat. I observed the person to make sure they were friendly. It's a man and he is wearing black boots, black knee-length shorts with an eyelet-studded orange belt, and a blue pouch belted around his left leg. He is wearing a red beaded necklace and an orange hat with two blue smileys, one frowning and one smiling, and a string of red beads sitting above the rim. He is shirtless as well and I could his abs very well and a strange mark on his back.

I take a step closer, but as I did the sound of a stick snapping could be heard and causing the person to whip their head in my direction glaring, mouth filled with glorious food. After a split second of tense eye contact, the other person quickly swallows the food in one gulp and softens their expression.

"Luffy? Hey wasn't expecting to bump into you so soon," the man says turning towards me. Luffy? I glance behind me checking this person wasn't talking to anyone else. Feeling my stomach growl angrily, my gaze turns to the food being left uneaten.

Third Person's P.O.V

To say that Ace isn't confused would be a lie. He has a goal to track down that traitor Blackbeard but he stops for a quick break. He also has the word that the Strawhat Pirates were somewhere in the area so he knew he might bump into his kid brother.

"Luffy? Hey wasn't expecting to bump into you so soon," Ace says, but then he noticed Luffy's attention was only on his food. Ace put his guard up knowing what Luffy was thinking about and was preparing to defend his food. "Lu-"

"Are you going to eat that? Cause if you aren't I'll have it," Luffy asks. Ace looks a bit dumbfounded for a moment and tries to process what Luffy is saying.

First of all, Luffy asking for the food instead of attempting to take it is a weird sign. Ace thought that maybe his crew had kicked some more manners into him. Second he can get his own food cause this food was Ace's effort.

"You can hunt for your own food," Ace states while turning to continue eating. Luffy pouts before pacing over to Ace and taking a seat.

"But all the food is hiding from me and I don't know where I am," Luffy whines. Giving Luffy a side look Ace offers a chuck of meat larger than his arm to him. A silent approval was given and Luffy accepts graciously.

After a surprisingly calm eating session, they both lay on their backs with their hands on their bloating stomachs. The only sound around them is the wind rustling the leaves of the enormous trees.

"So why is there a bandage around your head?" Ace says nonchalantly placing his arms behind his head. Luffy raises a hand to feel the fabric messily wrapped around his head and thought so hard his face starts turning red.

"Hey don't think so hard otherwise your head will explode," Ace teases, expecting a whiney reaction but nothing. Ace glances over at his kid brother to seeing him look very dazed and confused.

When did I even hurt my head? How did I get even here? Why is everything a blur? I can't remember. What's my name again? Do I have friends? Family? Anyone?

Am I alone? That's the thought that scared Luffy the most.

"You're being awfully quiet. Something up?" Ace questions, but only silence as a reply. He continues to be in his own world. "Oi Luffy?" Ace shifts closer and waves a hand in front of his face and successfully snapping Luffy out of his trace. That's when Ace notices something was off. Luffy always had some sort of clueless face on but this was different. Much different. He had a face that was confused and dare he say frightened.

"Luffy tell me what's wrong," Ace said softly as to not scare him more. Ace vows that whatever the problem he will try and fix it because only a few things really scare Luffy this much which is what is concerning him. Luffy looks in every direction before his eyes locks with Ace's grey ones. But the next sentence that spews from Luffy's mouth made Ace's heart stop.

"Who's Luffy?"

And that concludes the first ever chapter! From here on out I haven't got a clue of what to write but I know some of you would want more so I'll at least try.

For this story to work I made it a slight AU where Ace takes a lot longer to catch Blackbeard. This is based right before Sabaody.

Anyway hope you enjoyed reading this story and if you would be so kind and Favourite and Follow and if you have anything to say the Reviews are there just for you.

Thank you
