Author: Okay, so I suddenly had the urge to write an Ace x OC story. I'm planning on making it a multichapter thing with nice long chapters like this one. I hope you guys will like it, so please tell me if I should keep on going and how long I should make it. I would appreciate it
Ace's POV
"Luffy! You know you can't swim! " I shouted. That idiot followed me again. Now he would glomp all over me.
"But Ace!" He whined. Oh shit, now he's going to make the face. "Dadan told me to play with you!"
"Dadan can kiss my ass. Go back, do your homework." I said. Dadan made Luffy wear ridiculous red swimming trunks. They were really tight and looked just like Luffy's underwear. It was kinda painful just looking at them.
I turned my back toward him and started swimming towards the big lone boulder where you could fish the best. Suddenly Luffy launched himself toward me and wrapped his rubbery arms around my neck, causing me to nearly fall over.
"Lu…ffy…ca…n't … bre…the!" I gasped. He then loosed his grip. I grabbed his legs so he wouldn't fall off and started making my way towards the boulder.
His first whiny face now turned into the face. I really should teach myself to become immune to it. He has me wrapped around his rubbery little thumb.
"How d'ya like my new swimming shorts Ace? They match my hat!" He said excitedly. Of course he even wore the hat whilst swimming. He even wears it while bathing.
"They're way too tight Lu. And too red. You're twelve already, kids who are seven wear those kinds." I said tauntingly.
"No they're not! Dadan told me you wore these kinds too!" Luffy said.
Dadan told him?!? That bitch. I only wore them once. Once for God's sakes!
I ignored what he just said. Luffy realized it was true and he fell over laughing.
"Hey Luffy, you know how rubber bounces?" I asked.
"Yeah?"
"Want to see how high you can bounce?" I threatened him.
Luffy gulped and violently shook his head. His face was full of fear. I started laughing so much, I cried. Luffy was mad now and he was slamming his tiny little fists into my stomach. It just made me laugh more.
Suddenly the line was pulling a lot. Did I catch the local Sea King? Quickly I grabbed the pole and started reeling it in. It wasn't hard at all. I looked down and saw a girl with lots of long black hair.
"A mermaid?" Luffy and me said in unison. She was really light and I got her on the rock. She looked around my age. The girl wasn't moving. Oh wait a minute! She's wasn't breathing either but she wasn't cold. Quickly I started doing compressions to get the water out.
She coughed it all up on me. The girl opened her eyes. They were acidic green.
"Oww…" she moaned. I then noticed all the cuts on her body.
"Nii-chan, do you think we need to bring her to Dadan?"
I picked her up. She weighed nearly nothing.
"Lu, I'm gonna bring her to shore first, I'll come back for you."
I could easily feel all her bones. Maybe she came from a shipwreck. She's also really pretty I realized. Her eyes had thick, dark lashes, and they were shaped like a cat's. Her nose was like a small slope, and her lips were big and puffy. And she wasn't a mermaid. She had pretty long, skinny legs.
"Where am I?" she said so softly I barely heard it.
"Fuchsia Village in East Blue." I responded. "What's your name? I'm Ace."
"Quinn…" She muttered and then she closed her eyes again.
I put her down on the sandy beach and I then made my way back to Luffy who was waving impatiently. On purpose I slowed down just to annoy him.
"Nii-chan!" He said in his whiniest voice.
"Gosh, my legs are getting tired, maybe I should just go back and bring the girl to Dadan." I said with a smirk.
"Nooo!!! Don't leave me here!! I wanna meet the mermaid too!" He panicked
I climbed onto the rock and took Luffy on my back. As soon as he was on, he knocked my head.
"Hey you monkey, maybe I'll drop you here." I grumbled even though it didn't hurt a bit.
"You wouldn't do that!" Luffy said with a laugh. I took his leg and dangled him so he just wouldn't touch the water.
"Watch me." I said. And then I threw him over, onto the beach.
"Nii-chan!" Luffy said angrily as he bounced against a palm tree. The coconuts then proceeded to fall on his head. I laughed at Luffy, as he was there, lying in a crumpled heap with three goose eggs on his head.
Immediately he stood up and started shouting at me. I picked up Quinn and started walking to the house. Luffy followed with an angry expression and his arms crossed. He would be fine as soon as I made lunch for both of us.
Quinn was still unconscious as we entered the house. Dadan wasn't there. On the kitchen table was a note.
Luffy, Ace,
My sister broke her leg, so I'm going to tend her. I'll be back in around a month. The gang is with me.
Dadan.
Guess I was going to have to fix her up myself. Luffy grabbed the note and read it.
"Hooray! No training for a month!" Luffy cheered. He went from angry to happy in a matter of seconds.
"Go do your homework. I'm gonna fix her up and then I'll make lunch okay? Don't go bothering Makino." I told him.
"Do I have to?" Luffy pouted.
"Yes." I said firmly, and I walked to the bathroom. I grabbed the medical kit and then looked back at Quinn. She was still unconscious. She was also kinda dirty, so I moved her into the shower and started rinsing her skin. All the water was reddish brown. Her clothes were bloody too, but I don't think she would want me to fix her there.
I took a cotton ball and wet it with some disinfectant. It was just like treating Luffy. It was easy because she wasn't moving. Within a matter of minutes, everything that wasn't clothed was done. Hesitatingly, I lifted up her shirt so I could see her stomach. She's really skinny too, I can just count her ribs. She was totally flat anyways, so I just took of the shirt. Nothing interesting there. I resumed disinfecting everything and then bandaging it. I ripped off the skirt, as it was in tatters. Somehow, her panties remained a pristine red. A little black bow was in front, and some lacing was around the edges.
I laughed at that. I've never seen a girl's panties before, but I don't think all girls wore red ones with bows. Thankfully Dadan hadn't tried yet to buy that kind of stuff for me. I would have to burn them.
Just as I was finished, Quinn woke up. Immediately she jolted up.
"Why am I only in my panties?!?" She screamed. "Pervert!"
Quinn covered herself with her arms and ran out, only pausing to throw my toothbrush, a really cool one with my name on it, in the toilet.
"Hey!" I said angrily. After fishing out my toothbrush, I quickly I ran after her and caught her arm.
"I had to treat your wounds okay? You were all bloody and your clothes were tattered and bloody, so I figured you were wounded there too."
She just looked at me angrily. What's the big deal? I'm only wearing my swimming trunks.
"Can I then at least borrow some clothes?" She had to look up to talk to me as she was way shorter than me.
"I'm not sure if mine will fit you…" I said awkwardly as I led her to the room Luffy and I shared. It's really messy, and underwear was strayed across the room like sprinkles. Whatever. I took went to my closet and took out my only shirt left, my really cool one with the flames.
Quinn snatched it from my hand and put it on. It was like a dress on her.
"You hungry?" I asked her.
"No." She said coldly.
"But you're as skinny as a skeleton." I said.
"My problem." Quinn hissed. Her stomach then let out a huge growl. I had to do my best to choke off my laughter, as she didn't seem in a mood for fun.
"Suit yourself." I said as I left her alone in the room.
Quinn's POV
He closed the door. That Ace made me fume! How could he just undress me with the lame excuse he had to treat my wounds? I looked at my arms and legs. I was surprised to see bandages covering almost every part of my body. The pristine white was dotted with bright red.
Oops. Guess he was actually treating me. My stomach grumbled again. Stupid stomach. I'm not going to eat with that Ace. I'll grab something when he's not looking. The shirt he gave me was pretty cool. There were lots of flames on it, and it was really comfy. And big. Ace towered at least one head over me. To see his face I had to look almost completely up. His freckles were pretty cute, as he looked my age and yet he still had the childish feature. My stomach grumbled loudly again, and the agonizing scent of good food drifted into the room. I decided to go anyway, since I really was hungry. Ace can laugh all he wants.
With my head high, I walked to what I hoped was the kitchen. Even though I was kinda embarrassed I was wearing Ace's shirt. His parents would get the wrong idea. But then I heard two people laughing. There are two people? Not his mom or dad I hope. Hesitatingly I walked into the kitchen with a blush. A small, scrawny kid looked up at me. He was wearing a straw hat and these super tight red swimming shorts.
"Hey, are you the mermaid?" He said with a huge grin.
I was too stunned to react. A mermaid?
"Luffy, she obviously has legs, I'm guessing she's not a mermaid." Ace said sarcastically.
"How boring…" Luffy said with a pout and he turned back to his food, which he started shoving into his mouth with an incredible speed.
"I knew you couldn't resist my awesome cooking." Ace said with a smirk.
My stomach grumbled yet again to confirm it.
I then noticed there was only one chair left, the one parallel to Ace. I sat down, and Ace stood up. He returned shortly with a plate full of potatoes and beef.
"Thank you." I said as pleasantly as I could.
Ace just raised his eyebrow and went back to eating himself. Just as he sat down, he suddenly fell asleep. His face went flat into the food, yet Luffy didn't take any notice. Did he just die? I stared at the unmoving guy, when Luffy's arms stretched to take some of my potatoes.
"Hey! Give me that back!" I shouted as I grabbed the stretching arm. His skin was… rubbery. I twisted his arm, and he yelped and let my potato go.
"Don't try that again brat!" I threatened him.
He slunk into the chair and muttered a sorry. Then he resumed to steal the food off of what I assumed to be his big brother's plate. Ace then suddenly sat up again, only to shout when he saw his food disappearing into Luffy's mouth. He immediately tackled Luffy to the floor, and took back the beef.
"You monkey, don't steal food or there's no dinner for you!" He shouted.
I looked at the abnormal scene with a smile.
"Is he your little brother?" I asked.
"Yep, this brat my kid brother."
"I'm not a brat!" Luffy shouted.
"Then don't act like one!" Ace bit back.
"I'm Monkey D. Luffy!" He said happily to me. "And that ugly asshole is my lame older brother Portgas D. Ace."
I gasped. Monkey?
"Whadya dust say?"Ace grumbled with his mouth full. He tackled Luffy again. "Who taught you to say asshole kid? And who's ugly and lame huh?" Ace said angrily.
"I heard Dadan mutter it when Grandpa visited." Luffy said whilst trying to squirm away from his older brother. "And your super ugly and super lame Ace!"
Luffy stuck his tongue out and Ace just proceeded to smirk devilishly.
"Let me be super lame then and not give you any dinner and make you give your bed to Quinn here."
"Why do I have to give my bed to the mermaid?" Luffy said unhappily.
"Because your ugly older brother doesn't want a brat who's disrespectful to the great Ace-sama sleeping on a bed." Ace grinned.
"Ace-sama huh?" I said with a grin.
"But where do I sleep then nii-chan?" Luffy whined.
"Not my problem." Ace said as he stood up. He then proceeded to shove his food in his mouth at a lightning speed, finishing the plate in a matter of seconds. He then returned with another plate, full to the brim. Luffy was doing the same and I was just staring at the insane amount of food they were putting away.
"Dwo you nwot wike the food?" Luffy struggled to say with his mouth full of food. I snapped out of my trance and resumed eating. Ace had again fallen asleep in his food, and Luffy proceeded to cram all the food in his mouth. The food was really good, better than I expected from a guy of around fifteen.
Ace woke up again and shouted at Luffy. He shouted some more when he found out Luffy had already eaten all the food.
"You gonna eat that?" Ace said as he sat down.
"I'm full." I said, and I pushed the plate towards him.
"But you barely ate anything!" Luffy exclaimed.
"I got full watching you guys put away food that could last a family of six for a month." I stated. "You guys have stomachs like a whirlpool, they suck everything in."
"You think?" Ace said with a surprised face.
I just stared at him like he was a complete idiot.
Luffy scraped his chair back. "I'm gonna take a shower."
"Be careful, I didn't clean up the medical stuff yet, and the showers still kinda bloody." Ace said.
Luffy just walked away. Thirty seconds later we heard Luffy shout.
"The shower's all bloody and all the medical supplies are there. And there some bloody clothes!"
"Is he really that thick?" I asked.
"Sure is." Ace said. He left the table too. "I'm gonna clean it up."
He too walked away, leaving me sitting at the table alone. I was still kinda hungry, so I looked in the fridge. The fridge was crammed with an almost impossible amount of meat. I then looked in the cabinets, where I found some cake. I took a slice and ate it as fast as I could. I checked the shirt for crumbs and my mouth too.
Then I wandered around the house. I guess I'll be staying here for a while. I then remembered what happened before Ace carried me to shore. Shit. I then heard Luffy and Ace talking. I opened the door a crack and looked in. Ace was disinfecting a small cut on Luffy's finger.
"Luffy, why did you grab the broken piece of glass? You knew it would be sharp right?" Ace said with a sigh. This was different side of him. You could easily see the they loved each other a lot. Were they really brothers?
"Quinn?" Ace asked.
Crap, he spotted me.
"Umm… Ace, can I sleep here for the night?" I quickly asked.
"Weren't you already staying here?" He asked back.
"I didn't really know." I said with a blush on my face.
"Oh yeah, where'd you come from? We kind of fished you up on the beach." Ace asked.
"I don't remember anything before you carried me to shore." I muttered. I wasn't going to tell him.
No?" Ace said with a surprised look on his face.
"Well, then you can stay here for as long as you'd like!" Luffy said with a big grin.
"Really? Thank you so much!" I gratefully said. Guiltily I thought about the lie, but it was for their own good.
"But she's not gonna sleep in my bed right?" Luffy asked worriedly.
We'll put the mattresses together so we can all sleep." Ace said. "If Quinn is okay with that."
"Yeah sure."
I'm going to have to make sure I'll sleep with Luffy next to me. I can't say no because that would be rude and it's really nice of them to take me in.
"I'll get the beds ready." I offered. I shouldn't be a burden to them.
Ace nodded and then proceeded with treating Luffy's cut.
Thankfully I remembered where the bedroom was. The room itself was a big mess. Their underwear and clothes were everywhere. There even was a pair of boxers hanging from the lamp. It had… fried chicken on it. That's kinda creepy.
I ignored the underwear and put the two mattresses together. First they were on each side of the room. I took the sheets and spread them out. One smelled really good. But not like perfume or anything. Just good.
I went back to the bathroom so I could wash my face before I went to bed. The door was open so I walked in. Big mistake. Ace just stepped out of his trunks and was directly facing me. Luffy was stark naked and brushing his teeth.
Ace and I started blushing and Luffy just looked at me and kept on brushing his teeth. I was frozen in the spot. Then I moved again, and Ace pulled his trunks up and nonchalantly went into the shower.
"Sorry…" I muttered. "I just wanted to wash my face."
I closed the door and left. Ace shirtless hadn't really bothered me, but that was just too much information. I walked into the kitchen and washed my face there. In the water I saw my reflection.
My cheek had a bruise and my forehead had a pretty nasty cut that had completely soaked the bandage. I would have to ask Ace to change my other bandages too as they were also almost completely red.
Luffy left the bathroom stark naked. He didn't blush or anything either when I came in. I hope it won't get awkward with Ace and me. I have no idea how long I'm staying here. And since I don't have any clothes I can't really go out. I hope Ace and Luffy won't go out.
Ace then also came out of the bathroom, but he only had a towel hanging from his hips. Water droplets were sliding down his torso.
"S-sorry about the barging in…" I stuttered at the sight.
"It's ok. Would you like me to change the bandages before we sleep?" He offered.
Ace is actually a pretty nice guy I realized.
"I would like that." I said with a weak smile. My eyelids are really heavy and I can barely stay awake.
"I'll be ready in five." Ace said as he entered the bedroom.
It was really hard to keep my eyes from closing. Every time I blinked my eyes didn't want to open again. I hope I don't fall asleep while Ace is changing my bandages. That would be just too embarrassing.
Ace then came from the bedroom wearing only some boxers.
"You don't like shirts much do you?" I asked sleepily.
"Not really." Ace admitted.
He opened the door for me and let me enter first. Ace pulled out a crate where I could sit on. Slowly he unwrapped all the bandages on my legs. I tried to be still but all the wounds stung. They were all pretty deep and didn't look too good.
"I'm going to have to disinfect them again. It's going to hurt a lot." He said. He then handed me a towel. I questioningly looked at them.
"To bite on. So you won't wake Luffy."
Hesitatingly I placed it in my mouth. Ace then put some nasty smelling stuff on a cotton ball and gently dabbed it on the wounds. Thank God I had the towel. I would have broken all the windows.
After a few minutes of agony my legs were done.
"You're pretty good at bandaging people. You get hurt a lot?"
"Yeah, my grandpa likes to train us. Nearly every day I need to take out the kit and get started again. He wants us to be Marines." Ace said with disgust.
"Where is he?" I asked.
"Off catching pirates. He left us here with Dadan to take care of us. But Dadan and he know I'm not becoming a Marine. I'm going to become a pirate eventually. But he refuses to acknowledge it."
"That's pretty crappy." I said.
"I'm going to start on your arms now." He stated.
I put the towel back in my mouth, as the ugly wounds got uncovered. After some more agonizing minutes, Ace hesitated.
"You're going to have to take off my shirt. I can't reach the wounds on your back or on your stomach."
I turned my back to him and then I took it off.
Ace's POV
It was kind of embarrassing seeing her nearly naked when she's conscious. You could easily spot her spine vertebrae. All the bandages were nearly completely red. I hope she doesn't need any stitches. I wasn't too good at those. I worked neatly, cutting off the bandages and pulling them off as gently as I could.
Quinn winced every time though. I hoped the wounds would heal fast. Again I had to disinfect everything. Her back was the worst, with nasty gashes covering it almost entirely. I had to use several cotton balls, as all of them got soaked with blood. The bleeding wasn't as bad anymore though, so that was good.
"Quinn, I'm going to have to do your stomach now." I gently said. Even though she barely had boobs, she still didn't like showing them. I had to do my best to not stare. She was looking the other way, but her face was red. As quickly as possible I changed the bandages and disinfected the wounds. Nearly all the bandages were gone now. Next morning I had to get new ones and some clothes for her, as I only owned a couple of shirts.
Now I had to put the bandages around her boobs.
"Tell me if it's too tight." I said. It was pretty hard to not touch them while wrapping the bandage around. She gasped, so I guess I did it too tight.
"Sorry!" I muttered quickly. After about a minute my job was done.
"I'm finished." I said as I turned around. "I'll see you in the bedroom okay?"
Quickly I left. How many more days would I have to change the bandages? And it was awkward enough that she barged in just as I was going to take a shower. I thought sleeping in the same bed wasn't going to be bad either, but what else was I supposed to do. The couch is like sleeping on stone.
Tiredly I collapsed on the mattresses. Luffy was sound asleep. Quinn shuffled in quietly and lay down next to me. Her back was facing me. She must still be embarrassed. Even though she's super flat. Her boobs are barely as big as peas. "What are you thinking about?" Quinn quietly whispered. She turned to face me.
"About what kind of clothes I'm going to have to buy for you tomorrow." I quickly lied. I could hardly say your boobs.
"Don't get me anything pink." She answered.
"Ok."
We didn't talk any more after that and slowly we fell asleep.
I woke up in the morning with Luffy gone. Quinn was holding me, and one of her legs was wrapped around my butt. Her face was right below my neck. She smelled really good too, despite all her wounds. But it's not like I got the urge to start kissing her like I had with one other girl. That romance didn't end so well when she heard I beat up some thugs half to death.
"Mmm…" Quinn moaned as she stretched herself. She somehow got even closer.
"Good morning sleeping beauty." I taunted her.
"Huh?" She replied groggily. "Why's my leg around your butt?"
"That's what I wondered. You can keep it there." I said. I turned around so I was lying on my back and Quinn was on op of me. Even though I didn't like her like that, this was too good of an opportunity to pass up.
"You're not very comfortable…" She yawned. "Too many muscles."
Her head again dropped to my chest and she fell asleep again. Looks like Quinn isn't much of a morning person. I tried to extract myself from Quinn, with no success. I had to be careful because her wounds would open and take longer to heal. Which would mean more awkwardness.
Guess I just have to wake her up. First I blew in her ear. Nothing. I burped in her ear. Nothing. I poked her. Nothing.
"What the hell is wrong with you?!?" I shouted exasperatedly.
She just snuggled closer.
I stood up. Quinn just hung on. I tried getting her arms from around my neck but she didn't budge a bit. This is worse than Luffy's glomping sessions. I walked over to the kitchen and got a pan and a wooden spoon. No matter how loud I hit the pan, she didn't budge. The poor spoon broke in half and I gave up. Why can't I just take my stupid morning shower?
Suddenly I got a good idea. I filled the pan with the freezing cold water, and I splashed it all over Quinn and me. Finally she opened her damn eyes. She yawned and went back to sleep. Angrily I pried her eyes open.
"Wake up!" I growled.
"Huh?" She said with a confused look. "Why so angry?"
"Because, for the past hour I've been trying to pry you from me! I tried everything and you wouldn't budge!"
"Oh…" she simply said with a sleep-drunk expression
"Please get off of me and go sleep in the bed!" I angrily said, barely keeping my temper in control.
Slowly she slid off of me and staggered drunkenly to the bedroom, only to miss the door and walk into the wall. She rubbed her forehead and then continued into the bedroom.
I went to the bathroom with a sigh. I had tons of things to do, and this morning challenge didn't help in the least. Sadly I fished my toothbrush from the sink and washed it six times. Then I took the shortest shower ever.
After just ten minutes of preparing myself I ran in the village and bought more food, a new wooden spoon and lastly, clothes for Quinn. But how would I do that? Everybody knew I did chores for Dadan, but there wasn't a teenage girl where I lived.
I didn't know what to do so I went over to Makino. The bar wasn't open and she was just washing some glasses.
"Good morning Ace, what brings you here?" she asked pleasantly.
Quickly I started with my story. "Makino, now I have to buy clothes for her. And underwear. And I can't do that. Rumors will start again and you know we can't use much more negative attention because Garp will move Luffy somewhere else."
"Well Ace, you're in luck. I still have all my clothes from when I was in my teens. You can have them. There's underwear too, so don't worry about that." Makino said with a smile.
Quickly I bowed and thanked her as she gave me the stuff after a while. Juggling all the stuff I bought, I went home again.
"I'm back!" I shouted loudly.
"Nii-chan.." Luffy said as he hung down my leg. "I'm so hungry. Two hours without food…" His tongue was hanging from his mouth. He always did the starving boy act pretty well.
"I'm going to put this stuff away and then I'll start okay? Take this to Quinn for me." I told him, handing him the bag Makino prepared.
Immediately he shot up and ran to the bedroom. In ten minutes I was starting on a breakfast consisting of sausages, bacon and toast. Luffy kept on trying to take the scalding hot meat from the several frying pans. No doubt I would also be treating burns today.
A miracle also happened. Quinn came out of her bed and started showering and getting dressed. I can't believe she actually got out. I'm so getting another mattress after breakfast. No way I could stand through having her skinny little body hanging from my neck for an hour again.
Makino's clothes looked pretty good on her. She was wearing some green shorts with a white shirt and a black blazer. Green suited her.
"Can I help with anything?" She asked.
"Could you set the table please?"
After a few minutes we were actually eating quietly for once. Except for Luffy and me eating frantically, Luffy didn't try to steal any food, and Quinn looked like she wasn't really awake yet. After everything was finished, Quinn helped me clean off the table and I forced Luffy to work on his homework.
"I'm gonna buy another mattress." I stated as I walked out of the door.
Slowly the day passed with nothing uneventful. Days passed like that. Quinn's wounds healed and nobody even thought about her leaving. Dadan returned and took her in because of Garp insisting for some kind of reason. Even though as Quinn turned out to have just as big of an appetite and a monstrous strength like us.
And so Ace left to the path of piracy, with only the promise of meeting up with Luffy and joining his crew then. Quinn left shortly after Ace, and promising him the same thing. And Luffy then also left, leaving Garp with two of his grandsons turned to piracy, and an extra granddaughter who wasn't much better.
