Chapter 1: D. Brothers

LUFFY

Life sucks. Really. Everyone thinks that as long as you have money, everything is fine because you can buy so many things any human- or supernatural beings alike- would want to buy. Things like jewelries, clothes, pleasures, palaces and many things which practically scream WEALTH.

Well, as for people who have that – people like royalties, it's either they wanted more and more of it to a point of waging wars to gain territories and spreading their influences. OR they might be bored of having those things right beside them every single day of their lives. One word and TADAH! It is right in front of their eyes. And that is exactly how Luffy felt.

Being an heir to a huge empire, (like a frigging huge empire) has its own ups and downs. Even being a seven year old, he knows. Sure, great clothes, gold everywhere in his room, one word from him and everyone can be done, and of course his FAVORITE, there are lots and lots and lots of meat.

The downs, (sigh), the manners he have to try (try, which he really fails, most of the time) to display in front of other royalties who only talk about money and how to spend every berries they have. And it is freaking boring! Where is the fun in taking in anything you want by just saying one command? That will just make him useless! Really, useless! He does not have to do anything for himself or by himself because maids, servants and butlers will do it for him.

"What's with the long face, huh?" A nudge in his gut woke Luffy from his… depression?

He looked at the person who dared to nudge him in the knowing he is an Imperial Prince. There's only a very few people who dares to do that and one of them is the other Imperial Prince, Ace, his brother.

"It is sooo boring… Can't we, you know, go to some adventures?" he whined to his brother but his eyes shined like a diamond in a mention of an adventure.

"So, why not go? Oh, I know! Jii-jii won't let you!" Ace answered with enthusiastic voice like it is very amusing to see his brother whine like a kid.

"He won't listen. Before I say something, he just keeps on rambling and the next thing I know is his 'fist of love' flying straight in my face! " he pouted. It never escaped the older male how his brother paled at the mention of 'fist of love'. Ace paled a little too.

"W-Well, it can't be helped."

"Not if I do!" With that, the little boy ran around the huge palace grinning and is currently pulling pranks to the guards and butlers together with his brother.

Years later:

ACE

Boring! Boring! Boring!

BOOORRIINNGGG…..

Urgh! Ace hate these classes! I've been taking these classes since I could remember! Being a supernatural being, you live for so many years. At least 20 times the lifespan of a normal human being. It only means we can live for centuries especially those who are born in a royal family.

Having a royal blood makes your power greater than the others. The greater the power, the longer one will live. Take Jii-jii as an example. He have been the emperor of D. Empire for more than 7 centuries already. More than 7 freaking centuries! As far as what Ace knew, Jii-jii became an emperor at the age of 400 years old which makes him more than 1000 years old already! Though he looked like in his 60's if we base it in human standards.

Supernatural beings age very slow. Look at him. He looks like 18 year teenage prince but in reality, he is more than 200 years old already.

"Ace Ouji-sama, please refrain from daydreaming." Kalifa, the home tutor said. "Luffy Ouji-sama, please wake up!" Luffy's snot bubble burst which caused him to wake up.

"Huh? Meat? (Growling stomach)" Kalifa frowned at that.

"Luffy Ouji-sama, your next meal is-" She was cut off by an approaching Makino.

"Luffy! Ace! Snacks is here!" We immediately sat up from our desk and ran like there's no tomorrow and before the snacks is served properly, Luffy started digging and I did as well.

"Makino! How many times do I have to remind you not to call the Imperial princes casually?" Makino only smiled at her and simply waved her off.

"Yes, of course, Kalifa-san." Both Luffy and I simply snickered at her. She is too uptight and her classes are boring like hell. She noticed this and slightly felt embarrassed. Without saying anything, she went out of the room.

After the door is closed behind, then we began to laugh senselessly. Makino only giggled at that. She is like our mother. Luffy and I are actually not real brothers but we are cousins. Luffy's father, which is supposed to be the crowned prince and future emperor of the D. Empire, is married to my aunt which is my father's younger sister. My mother, Portgas D. Rouge is of nobility from the Empire. My father is a world class criminal and his records are being buried to the darkest parts of history. Which is why I took my mother's name. They said that she is the most beautiful fire fairy in the entire world. According to Jii-jii, my father is a Cheshire cat which specializes in fire. I inherited both their traits which includes usage of fire though being a Cheshire cat cannot be seen clearly in me. Luffy on the other hand is a very unique mixture. According to Jii-jii, his father is an elf. That is to be expected because the Monkey D's are the oldest royal elven bloodline in the whole world. They also happen to be the strongest elven bloodline.

My aunt Reina, Luffy's mother is a Cheshire cat. That explains Luffy's devious and laid back attitude. Unlike me, you can see a Cheshire cat traits in Luffy as well as his elven side. Though you will rarely see his elven side because seeing it would mean death.

We haven't met our parents. Our only parent is Jii-jii and he can hardly be called a parent because of his odd ways of raising us. It is a good thing that Makino is there.

"You should be a good boys and listen to her sometimes." Makino said.

"Vvhat her lettons are bowing…. [But her lessons are boring…]" Luffy answered with a mouth full of food. Like I am one to talk.

"Wayth.. Wayth… Swhe's so string… [Right… Right… She's so strict.]" Makino only sighed at this as she watched us eat with enthusiasm and vigor.

Somewhere in New World…

We have to do just that. D. Empire… Shirohige… They are a big pain in the asses… Maybe we have to make our moves more subtle. We don't want to anger the two biggest empires in the entire World.

R&R...
