Ok I don't own One Piece ok? It belongs to Oda, (sadly)

Luffy awoke to the smell of bacon filling his nostrils, he threw back the covers of his bed and ran out of his new room. See, Luffy and his last remaining brother, Ace, had moved away from their small town in Fuchsia and moved to the Grand Line a week ago. Some of Ace's friends were here and they helped the two find a house. Luffy had a boyfriend named Zoro and a friend named Nami that lived in the Grand Line, but Luffy didn't know where. In any case, Luffy ran down the steps and into the kitchen where Ace was setting the food on the table. Upon his arrival, Ace looked up and grinned that 'D' grin at him.

" Mornin' Lu, you excited for our first day?" Ace asked eagerly as he sat down.

" Uh Huh!" Luffy replied before walking over to his brother and giving him a hug. It had been like this after he had died. Luffy always gave Ace hugs.

" So, Zoro and Nami live here right?" Ace asked smugly. Luffy nodded since his mouth was full of food.

" I wonder what part of the Grand Line they live in?" Ace wondered aloud.

Luffy laughed as he grabbed his hat off the table and followed his brother out the door.

" Ne Ne Ace?" Luffy called.

" Yeah Lu?" Ace replied.

" Since it's our first day, can we take the Striker to school?" Luffy asked looking up at him with big pleading eyes. Ace, able to resist them, replied;

" Sure, it is our first day here after all." Luffy cheered and jumped on his brothers back.

" MUSH!" Luffy commandeered . Ace laughed and hooked his brother's legs under him as he headed to the yellow motorcycle with red flames on the side.

Ace plopped himself down on the seat and put on his orange cowboy hat.

" You ready Luf?" He asked knowingly.

" Uh huh!" Luffy chirped wrapping his arms around Ace's torso. Ace revved before speeding off. Luffy laughed and cheered and grinned all the way there.

They caused quite the commotion when the two brothers arrived at the school. Ace slammed on the breaks and parked right next to the curb perfectly.

" Haha! That was fun!" Luffy giggled. Ace grinned and ruffled the boy's hair.

" Now let's go find your friends." Ace chuckled as he got down from the motorcycle.

" Ace, Ace, pick me up!" Luffy demanded with a stern face. Ace burst out laughing, but complied and picked his brother up and set him on the ground.

The two walked into the gates getting many ignored stares. Luffy was looking around for his friends, but he couldn't see them. But his eyes did catch on a blonde haired pineapple. He tugged on Ace's arm making the man look down at him.

" It's Marco and Thatch!" Luffy exclaimed pointing at the two men, who hadn't noticed them yet. Ace's eyes widened as tears welled up in them. He raced forward and gave a strangled yell of their names, making the men turn around to see Ace barreling towards them at full speed. The two men cried out happily and ran for him. They all crashed into each other but somehow managed a group hug.

" It's been awhile Ace!" Thatch laughed clapping him on the shoulder. Ace nodded and grinned.

" Yo, Luffy get your ass over here!" Ace called to the boy behind him, who trotted over to the trio with a happy smile.

" So, this is the brother you've been telling us about yoi!" Marco concluded. Ace nodded enthusiastically and put an arm around the boy's shoulders. Luffy grinned at the two teens and yelled;

" I'm gonna be King of the Pirates!" Marco and Thatch blanched while Ace just busted out laughing. The local gangs around the world had started calling themselves pirates. No one knew when it started but it stuck. The King of the Pirates was a man who had traveled the entire world, with his 'pirate crew'. The last one was killed in a fight.

" What the hell gave you that idea?!" Thatch coughed.

" Shanks did!" Luffy clarified.

" Shanks? As in Red Haired Shanks yoi?"

Luffy nodded and asked;

"Do you know Shanks?!"

Thatch laughed and answered;

" yeah, and Marco hates him!"

Luffy cocked his head sideways and asked;

" Wait, are you the Pineapple he was talking about?" Thatch and Ace burst out laughing so hard they were crying. Marco felt a tick mark appear on his forehead.

" yes, and my name is Marco yoi.' he corrected as the bell rang. Ace ruffled Luffy's hair and looked at his friends.

" Well, we better get going then, what are your first classes?" Ace asked as the four walked into the crowded school.

" Well," Thatch said," I have Science first so I'm dead." he looked at Marco and Ace with mischievous glint in his eyes.

" oh no Thatchy I'm not helping you!" Ace teased holding his hands up in front of him. While Thatch was throwing himself at Marco and Ace, Luffy was looking around in awe at the giant campus, it looked like a vacation home more than a school, Ace got here on a scholarship, and Luffy because of his athletic abilities.

" Luffy!" A girl's voice yelled. Luffy spun around to see an orange haired girl running towards him with tears of joy running down her face. Luffy grinned, and his entire being seemed to glow as he cried her name for everyone to hear.

" NAMI!"

Look I know it's short and I,m sorry. But please just bare with me.
