Ace smiled as he put his arm around her and said:

"Yeah, she's my girlfriend."

The Mugiwara no Kaizoku stared. Luffy was thinking 'Wow, he finally decided, out of his 100000000000 fangirls'. Sanji was thinking 'NOOO!!MELLORINE!!MELLORINE!!' Zoro was thinking 'She's not that bad but...WHY HER?' Nami was thinking the same as Zoro while Usopp and Chopper were thinking about cherries for some reason. Robin merely said:

"So you're Luffy's brother, Ace?"

"Yea..."

"Your girlfriend seems younger than Luffy, what's your name??"

"I'm...Hiina." the girl responded shyly

Luffy stared at her even more. 'She seems familiar...' he thought. Then, he remembered Makino's niece who was always in the hospital. Luffy had seen her once while Ace always vistied her when Makino went. Shanks had seen her once also. But wasn't she six years old at the time? He tilted his head and stratched it. How can that be her?? She'd be sixteen by now. Ace wouldn't date someone younger than Luffy. Or would he?

"Ace, what's the age difference between you and Hiina??" Luffy pondered

"Ummmmmmmm..." Was Ace's only response

"Cherriessssssss..." Usopp and Chopper said in unison

After a moment pause Robin asked also. This time Ace's response was:

"I plead the Fifth Amendment.No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation."

"Ummm...a language from this Earth please?" Luffy asked

Ace sighed "Okay," he took a deep breath "ME NO TALKY!"

"Cherriessssssss..." Usopp and Chopper said in unison

And the mystery continues...What IS Hiina's age? And will Usopp and Chopper stop thinking about cherries??Only I know!! BUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!BURNN!!BURNN ACE BURN!!!!!!
