Modern day. Siblings Luffy, Ace and Robin decide to host Thanksgiving for their closest friends, lovers, and family members. God this is going to be hell. Also features some weird couples.
I'm back! But I won t post anything except this this week cause the holiday season is a upon us and I want my full fan base at attention when I post Zeke and My Captain, My Nakama. Expect a lot next week though!
I'm going to try and have a new chapter every day this Thanksgiving break so it's like in real time. Meaning the actual Thanksgiving feast won t be till that very day and each chapter till then will be a hilarious and hectic day heading towards that super fun day. Hope you all enjoy it.
Some of the ages are changed and some characters are related to each other when they aren't in the manga.
Chapter 1 - The Guest List
Part 1 Friday before Thanksgiving week
Brothers Luffy and Ace weakly walked into their apartment that they shared with their sister. Ace was the first to collapse, face first. Sadly, he didn't make it to the couch, and hit the floor.
*WHAM!*
Ace: "........ow...."
Luffy, however, landed on the couch and breathed heavily, "I... hate... the boss..."
Ace sprang up as if he wasn't hurt, "Fuck yeah!!! We work in a damn factory and he makes us run suicides and sprint around the damn building! Just cause that douche bag made a comment about the boss's daughter as he left!!!"
Luffy: "Yeah, so we pick up the punishment cause he couldn't catch that douche hole."
Ace: "DAMN IIIITTTTTTTTTTT!!!!" Ace picked up a chair and flung it across the room of their apartment on the 6th floor of the city known as Raftle.
"Will you boys please calm down! God, what did that man do to you now?" A young slender woman walked into the living room from hers. She was 28 but still the older of the trio.
Ace, the 22 year old and second oldest, looked crazy at her, a fake smile of seeing her on his face, "Oh, Robin, was I bothering you? I'm sorry, I was just... LETING OUT MY ANGER AT YOUR DOUCHE BAG BOYFRIEND FUCKING UP OUR LAST DAY AT WORK!!!!!!!!!" The 19 year old Luffy agreed, "Yeah, it's not the boss we ever have a problem with, your boyfriend, (high pitch sarcastic voice) Mister "Assistant Manager", (regular voice) is a dick."
Robin hated that her beloved brothers hated her boyfriend, but she still stayed with him because she believed she loved him, and he the same. She shook her head, "I don't think he did anything on purpose. He really is a nice and gentle guy." she assured them, but they didn't buy it.
Ace: "He's a douche."
Luffy: "He called the boss's daughter a whore and left. Grade A-1 douchyness there."
Robin tried to brush it off as she went into the kitchen, "Well... she kind of.... was."
Ace and Luffy were shocked, the woman the 'douche' called a whore, was also married now, and Robin's best friend.
Ace: "What? You seriously just agreed with that prick!?!? What the hell!? He got you brained washed with his dick or something!??"
That was a little too far and Robin slightly snaped, "You shut up! She's my best friend! I can say what I want about her! Yes what he said is out of line now that she's married and has a kid, but she kind of was! She did date and sleep with BOTH of you at one point! Don't let your hated of MY boyfriend blind you of that!!!!"
Luffy and Ace were speechless.
Ace approached her, she was crying a little now, "Robin, I'm sorry. But... you deserve SO MUCH more than that.... ASShole." She tore away from her younger brother, "Whatever, he's good to me. I can't help it if he's a jerk to everybody but." She walked towards the door, Luffy and Ace now noticed she was in a beautiful black dress, "We're going out together. I'll be back around 11:00. ...Or, maybe, I'll be staying at his place, see ya later little brothers."
She went out the door and Ace and Luffy just stayed were they were.

Part 2 ~A Conversation on the phone~ Sunday
"A break?... Just say what it really is."
"Ok... I'm sorry, but... I don't want us to be together anymore."
"....Why, what the hell did I do now? Am I really that bad?"
"No, it's not you... It's just..."
"Don't give me that crap. It's the age difference isn't it? I told you that doesn't matter to me, or any of my friends."
"....But... But.... (begins to sob) But it matters to MY friends! *sniff* And my family! They don't understand! They all see me as a despite whore. *sniff* Some have even gained the balls to tell me they don't approve!.... *sniff* And it bothers me (greater sobs), and.... and if it bothers me *sniff* *sob*, then that means I probably don't care enough about you... (deep crying)"
"Boa! Don't say that! Fuck them! If they can't s-"
"No, it's pointless now... good-bye Luffy."
*HANG UP*

Part 3 Monday of Thanksgiving week
Luffy sat on the couch in a slump of depression.
All Ace and Robin could do was stare at him in pity as they tried to come up with a plan to cheer him up.
Ace: "...... I got nothing."
Robin: "Big frickin surprise there."
Ace: "HEY!... Don't belittle me.... It hurts my feelings."
Robin: "You know he invited her to the Thanksgiving dinner we're hosting this year back in August."
Ace: "Damn, I know, this has go to suck for him."
Robin: "*sigh* I think he really did love her a lot."
Suddenly, Ace got up from the kitchen table and walked over to Luffy, who was on the couch watch a Bleach marathon on TV.
Luffy: "..... This show sucks."
Ace stood next to the couch and looked at Luffy with a 'happy' look, "So.... 19 and she was 24....... Nice catch bro."
*WHAM*
Fist. Directly in the face.
Ace: "Ok... I deserved that, but seriously, you need to get just a liiiiittle bit happy."
Luffy was unphased from watching the show he wasn't really watching.
Then another 'bright idea' popped into Ace's head, "You know what! We can't waste time! In 4 days we got Thanksgiving dinner and were hosting it! So let's get down to the basics! First, the Guest List!!"
Robin shook her head, talking about Thanksgiving would more likely REMIND Luffy of his girlfriend, Boa Hancock. (I know Boa is technically her last name, I'm using it as her first, hopefully you guys won t care that much) But Ace looked so excited and proud of his idea, like a kid (a very dumb kid), that she just went along with it.
Robin shrugged as she went down the list in her mind, "Well, we know BOTH of our Grandfathers are coming. We KNOW that. *depressed sigh* We know how that's gonna be." Ace got excited, and Luffy seemed to enjoy that thought of his grandpa coming.
Their parents had died in a car crash when Luffy was only 2 so he and Ace pretty much grew up without them, only Robin really knew them enough. Their grandfathers helped raise them, even though both the old men hated each other.
Ace: "Alright who else?"
Robin: "I'm sure the 'guys' are coming"
Now both Ace and Luffy were smiling, "Hell yeah!" Ace shouted.
Luffy: "That's Sanji, Chopper, Brook, Usopp, Franky-"
Ace: "Hey, doesn't Franky have a girl he bringin?"
Luffy: "Yeah, I'm not sure who she is though. They've been dating for 3 months now, but no one knows who she is yet. It's all been so secretive."
Ace: "Oh well. I guess we'll just find out when they get here Thursday."
Luffy: "Let's not forget Zoro, Nami, and their DAUGHTER."
Ace: "Yeah, and cause they're coming the boss wants to come so he can spend time with his grand-daughter."
Robin: "That'll be fun."
Ace: "You know if Zoro gets wind ever that you're boyfriend called her a whore, he's dead."
This made Robin a little depressed, "Yes, I know. Wait, he works with you guys, he doesn't know yet?"
Ace: "He wasn't there Friday. Nami wanted to take him shopping for EARLY Christmas presents for their kid. And of course, the boss let him go cause he'll do anything his 'little angel' wants."
Robin nodded, "Well, I'm sure your boss's drinking buddy is coming?"
Ace: "Yeah, Zoro's Uncle too."
Luffy: "I invited Jimbei too!"
Robin and Ace looked at him, he seemed for the moment to not be depressed anymore.
Ace: "That's super cool. Me and Jimbei been friends for a while and he and the boss have been friends forever. He knows gramps too."
Robin: "I suspect your girlfriend is coming?"
Ace: "Yeah..." Ace looked at Luffy, he seemed unphased, at the moment.
Luffy then sprang up as he just remembered something, "Oooo! Bon-chan is coming! Remember!? He called us and said he'd be out Wednesday!"
Ace and Robin looked a little scared.
Ace: "Wont he have a parole officer?"
Luffy: "Oh yeah.... We should invite him too!!"
Ace rolled his eyes, but since the 42 year old transvestite, and 'ALLEGED' molester, was a long time family friend and never done anything to them but help raise and teach them, none of them would ever turn away if he decided to come.
Ace: "Fine, I guess his parole officer too. Lord that will be fun."
Ace has had a past with dealing with police of any kind, so he went over to the fridge and opened up a can of beer (he's a stress drinker, very bad).
Luffy: "So that's everybody huh?"
Ace: "Think so."
Robin: "Um... I think there is one more."
Luffy and Ace looked at her blankly.
Ace: "Who?"
Luffy: "Yeah?"
They looked at Robin, who had her back turned to them and was piddling with her fingers, "I... um.... invited... Lucci..."
Luffy's depression returned, and Ace almost gagged on his beer, "WHAT THE FUCK!!!?!?!?!"
Luffy: (depressed) "Man... I don't want that asshole in my house on Thanksgiving. Insult to fucking injury.... Boa.... *depressed sigh*"
Robin looked at them, Luffy had his knees up and face in a pillow, Ace stood at her with a soulless expression, took another can of beer out and drank it in one gulp, and still looking at her with nothingness, smashed the can on his forehead.
Ace: "Why... Why Robin? You invite that douche bag boyfriend of yours!?!?!??!"
Robin became angry again, "Because I love him you jackass!"
Ace had to stand his ground this time, "BUT he's a DOUCHE!"
Robin: "I can't help what he does to other people! He's great to me and he LOVES me too! We've been together for almost a year! This will be our first Thanksgiving together!"
Ace: "But. He's. A. DO-UCHE."
Robin: "You know what!?... FUCK YOU ACE!"
Ace was silent, stunned... and very terrified.
Robin: (beginning to cry) "He makes me happy! So fuck you!"
Luffy got up and put his hand on Robin's shoulder, "Whatever Robin, he come, we shouldn't be this way to each other. We're siblings." His voice was quite and kind, Robin looked up at him. "I know, even though for different reasons, you didn't like Boa at all, but you stood by me any ways. I'm gonna do that too with you." Luffy gave Robin a big assuring hug. "(under his breath and quickly) Even though he is a gigantic douche bag."
Robin wiped away her tear, thanked Luffy for his words and left to go do some things.
Soon after, the phone rang.
Ace and Luffy, like ridiculous children, ran and fought for answering it. Ace won. (cheated)
Ace: "Yello?...... Boss! Waz up?.... Staff basketball game? Tomorrow? For what? Just cause?"
Ace and Luffy looked at each other.
Ace: "Wait.... Is Lucci going to be there?"
Luffy could distinctly hear a "HELL YES!" on the other end. They both smiled, "We'll be there."
