Hello again.
So I was a little lengthy last time so I shall try to shorten it up a bit. ; P
And yes this WILL be a LuNa fic so please do not worry. Rabia has to get into the One Piece dimension before I can start writing anything romantic!! So, MOVE IT RABIA!!
Rabia: EXCUSE ME?! YOU SO DID NOT TELL ME TO "MOVE IT"!!
Me: Eep!! : Hides behind a random trashcan: Of course not! I was just kidding!! Heh heh… Get it?
Rabia: Hmmmm….. : crosses her arms in disapproval: Fine but next time you will be beaten.
Me: Ok! Whatever you say! (Meanie)
Anyways!
Please enjoy and please inform me if anything sounds weird because this is my first One Piece fic!!
Well, on with the show.
Disclaimer: Nope. Sorry. My fic is based off of TallLuffy's but even he does not own One Piece. Kinda sucks.

After I caught up with my brothers we walked for about a mile until we reached Malevolence's Tower. On the way I noticed that whenever we walked past any of the male species they all stopped what they were doing and looked at me. Personally I do not mind the attention but it was getting creepy. This made me wonder what the heck was wrong.
"Hey, Bill?" I asked as I walked beside him.
"Yeah?" He said as he glanced at me.
"Ummm…. Do you notice anything different about me?"
He stopped and looked me over. When his inspection was finished he said, "Nope, I don't see anything wrong with you. Why?"
Laughing hesitantly I replied, "Well, whenever we walk in past guys they turn and look at me. Not only that, but the look in their eyes really creeps me out."
At the last statement Bill looked at me and then at a group of men who were, no surprise, looking me over. He growled and sent a storm of wet leaves into their faces. From then on I had to walk in between my three brothers. John and Chuck had no clue why but I was too embarrassed to explain it to them.
We finally reached our destination when we saw Ensley. Ensley was a tall, lanky man, who was Malevolence's right hand man. HE wore this ugly tight suit that enhanced all of his features, sadly.
He climbed down the watch out tower and approached after he saw us coming. As he came closer I noticed that his expression changed from menacing to leering. Ensley came up to me with the same look that I had been getting for the past hour but this time it looked like he was going to act upon that instinct. I 'eep'ed and hid behind Bill. The answer to why the men kept leering at me was a mystery and it scared me to no end.
"Hello," He said as he stared at me. A sickening grin formed on his face. "Don't worry, I won't sound the alarm," Ensley stated in what he thought was a seductive voice.
Shivers ran up and down my spine, I decided to look away when I asked, "Why?"
That grin faded away as Ensley replied, "Because, Malevolence already knows that you are here."
Bill who was oblivious to Ensley's new interest in me just stood there dumbfounded. "Oh," he said, "Well, WE'LL WIN THIS ANYWAY BECAUSE WE FEEL SUUUUUUUUUUUUPER!"
I quietly whispered, "What the hell was that?"
Bill looked over his shoulder at me. He finally noticed how uncomfortable I was and decided to glare at Ensley.
John then said, "You watch that Franky guy too much."
With his eyes still on Ensley Bill seethed, "Shut up John."
Wanting to change the tense mood and fast I decided to give John a nickname. Silly, yes but effective. But what should I call him? Freezy? Cold? Chilly Willy? Hmmmmmm…… I like that last one.
"John!" I exclaimed, grabbing everyone's attention. "Your new nickname is Chilli!!" I said with glee and clapped my hands. A shocked look graced everyone's faces until John's face contorted.
"CHILLI!?" John yelled, "WHY!?"
A giggle escaped my lips. ""Because Chilli means cold silly!" I replied by raising my arms in the air. Bad move. Now the rest of the guards and Ensley leered at me. Thankfully John interrupted their gazes.
He just shook his head and said to Ensley, "We want to c-"
He cut John off and said, "Confront Malevolence, yeah, yeah, the whole castle knows. Just go down the hall, take a right, go up the stairs, take a left, then go through the double doors and he will be right there in the Great Hall." Ensley quickly finished and went back to looking at me.
My brothers being the clueless people that they are just nodded in response. "Uh, thanks?" Chuck said with confusion.
On we went, following Ensley's directions. We went up numerous flights of stairs and passed a room full of guards watching some horror movies. No wonder Malevolence wanted to build an army from different dimensions, his lackeys sucked.
Oh! Did I forget to mention that? The reason that Malevolence wants to cross dimensions is because he wants to build up an invincible army. And after seeing what his men do in their spare time, I really don't blame him.
Finally we got to the Great Hall. There are two doors that lead to the Great Hall, one black and one white. No decorations or indents, the doors were plain blocks of wood and metal. Quite boring. But I digress.
As we approached the doors I grabbed my brother's hands. Everyone linked their hands together as we stopped two feet in front of the door. This is it! It is now or never. Slowly we lifted our hands and pushed open the doors with our devil fruit powers.
And there he was. Malevolence looked so smug, sitting there on his throne. I wanted to smack him sooo badly but I restrained myself. His gazed at us lazily until he set his eyes upon me. Yeah, GROSS!! I really wanted to know what the heck was wrong with me because even Malevolence leered at me and I am extremely freaked out by it.
After that scaring experience Malevolence said, "Welcome, you are here to beat the crap out of me yes? I think not, even though you practiced for so long I am not one easy to defeat."
No duh. I resisted the urge to roll my eyes at his comment. No amount of training can really prepare one for battle hence why I did not approve of the training room/closet. There is no way that one can mentally or physically prepare for battle since the body reacts differently under more stressful situations. Training is essential but it will never be enough. This is why I like the trial and error approach. But enough about me, on with the story.
I knew Chuck would react to Malevolence's statement and I prayed that he wouldn't be rash about it. Sadly my prayer was not answered.
Chuck yelled, "I'm tired of waiting, I'M GONNA KICK YOUR ASS!"
Before I could stop him Chuck ran for Malevolence and disappeared into thin air. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Malevolence laughed heartily.
'Please, oh please, show up. Dang it Chuck! Where are you?' I thought as I looked around the room. Panic surged through me as I realized that Chuck wasn't coming back anytime soon. I froze at the thought.
"You think it is that simple?" Malevolence asked, "Your brother is gone! He has gone to a different dimension!"
'NO!' my mind screamed. 'Do something! Move it! Save Chuck!' I begged with myself but I still could not move.
John stepped forward and said, "No, he isn't gone, he can't be!"
I heard a growl emit from Bill as he ran up and yelled, "FALL FALL ULTIMATE FROST BITE!"
Again before I could stop him, Bill acted upon Malevolence's words. I didn't want him to go too!
'Stop!!'
Suddenly a gust of ice flew out of Bill's hands and almost hit Malevolence until he disappeared and popped up behind Bill, "You fool." Malevolence chuckled.
Bill was hit into a swirling vortex, "LIVE AND DIE IN ANOTHER DIMENSION!"
That was it. I couldn't stand there any longer. "BILL!!" I screamed at the top of my lungs.
Just like how my father ran into the fight after my mother I ran into the fight after my two brothers. All I could think of was that I had to make Malevolence pay for what he did to my family and that I wanted my life normal again.
The sight of thick and lethal green vines crossed my mind as I shouted, "SPRING SPRING MEGA VINES!"
Enormous green vines shot up from the ground. No one could tell but a thin layer of poison frosted the sides of the vines. I wanted his death to be painful. But I never got my chance for revenge. Before the vines hit him Malevolence disappeared. I knew that this was going to happen but I still ran into battle. How stupid could I get?
The vortex from before opened up next to me. Malevolence popped out of nowhere and hit me in the gut. He quickly leaned forward and whispered, "I am sorry to do this to you my dear, but we will meet again. I will make sure of that."
The last thing that I saw before I fell into the vortex was the smirk on Malevolence's face. Everything after that was black.

'Pain. I feel pain throughout my body. Ouch.'
As my senses slowly returned to me I noticed that I was laying face down in snow. Immediately I began to shiver as I lifted my eye lids. The glare of the sun on the snow blinded me for a bit and I groaned.
"Where am I?" I asked myself as I sat up. "CHUCK? BILL? JOHN? HELLO? ARE ANY OF YOU HERE?" I yelled into the distance.
Looking around I saw this beautiful winter wonderland. It looked familiar though. So I stood up and brushed off the snow that collected on my clothes and looked around again but this time looking for some civilization. Smoke could be seen rising in the distance and I began to walk towards its source.
When I walked past a bush I heard a rustle. Out of the bush came the most adorable rabbit ever!! "Aww! You are so cute!" I cooed as I knelt down in the snow. I beckoned it to come closer so I could pet it. The rabbit obeyed and hopped into my arms. So as not to scare the little fellow I slowly stood up, cuddling it all the while. As I stroked the rabbit it dug its head into my chest and sighed contently. Then I heard more rustling coming from the bushes.
But it was not another cute rabbit. Out of the bushes came a pack, heard? Group? Peck? Flock? Oh, never mind. A bunch of these monstrous rabbits stepped out and immediately looked at me. I froze for the second time that day. Then it hit me, the rabbit I was holding was probably one of their young. 'DANG IT! I am so screwed.' I thought as I watched one of the rabbits approach me.
It stood there in front of me, and then it lifted its paws towards my face. I shut my eyes at the movement and waited for pain but none came. At a snail's pace I opened my eyes. All of a sudden I felt two furry paws lifting me up and onto a furry mound. I gasped and opened my eyes. The big rabbit had picked me up and placed me onto its back. I closed my eyes again when it began to move. Throughout the ride I held on tight to the rabbit's hide.
After a half an hour we stopped. I looked up but I soon felt myself being lifted up and placed onto the ground. A little town was nestled about a mile from where we stood. Sighing I looked up and said, "Thanks! I appreciate it. Is there anything that I could do for you before I leave for the town?"
The rabbits shook their heads and bounced off. I smiled and continued to walk towards the town. Where had I seen those creatures before? Then I stopped in my tracks. I knew where I had seen those before. I had seen those rabbits in the manga One Piece. "No way," I said to myself, "No way am I in One Piece. But if I am in One Piece then that would mean that I am on Drum Island." There was only one way to prove my theory, so I kept on walking towards the town.
When I finally reached to town I walked into a tavern and sat down at the bar. Thankfully I had my katana on me or otherwise I swear all of the men in there would have jumped me. It was then that I decided to figure out why all of these men were suddenly attracted to me.
'Let's see. They all started to notice me after I ate the Spring Spring Fruit. Hmmmm….but what is it about that fruit that makes them go wi-' and that is where it occurred to me. What do animals do in the springtime, folks? That's right, they mate. 'Springtime is mating season and since fate loves me I obviously had to get that power attached to my fruit. Great, I am totally grossed out. Now, I know that all of the men around me want to get with me. Great…. Ugh I hate my life.' I smacked my head at the realization.
All of the men rushed towards me and asked if I was all right.
"Yes I am fine, thank you for your concern," I said as I pushed them away, "I do not mean to sound weird but can you tell me where I am?"
They all chimed, "Ropel town on Drum Island, Miss! Is there anything else that I can do for you?"
'No way in hell, you pervs.'
"Ah, no thank you! Well, good bye!" I quickly stated as I ran out the door. At least they confirmed my suspicions. But now I was stuck. Isn't there anyone who can help me find my siblings? Searching the area I found no one that I recognized from the manga. I had lost all hope until someone ran into me. Literally.
"Ouch!" I said, hitting the frozen ground. I felt a warm body fall on me and in a very awkward position I might add. A blush formed on my face when I realized that a young man was lying on top of me. After a long second the young man picked himself up and offered me his hand. I promptly took it and stood up in front of him.
"Sorry about that. I was running and wasn't paying attention to where I was going," the young man said as he wiped some snow off of his clothes. He looked up at me and stopped. "Are you okay?" he asked.
Something was different about this man. Not only was he handsome but he didn't look like he lusted after me like all of the other men that I have met. All I could do was blush and manage a stuttered yes. He smiled kindly at me and held out his hand. I gazed at it with confusion.
He chuckled and said, "My name is Portgas D. Ace or just Ace."
"Rabia, Rabia Haultin," I muttered as I shook his hand. For some reason I could not make eye contact. He was just so handsome and polite at that moment that he took my breath away.
Yes, I get crushes very easily but does that make me a bad person? I guess I am just romantic that way. BUT I never play with their emotions! Oh goodness no. In fact it would be a miracle if anyone that I had a crush on liked me back. Sigh…anyways. (Yes I am pathetic, so leave me alone or I'll beat you!) The sound of Ace's voice took me out of my thoughts.
"-here?" Ace said with an expectant look on his face.
Swear to goodness, I could feel my face go blank. "Um, sorry. I didn't catch that. What did you say?"
A smile graced his face which made me blush for the umpteenth time that day. "I said, 'What is a lady like you doing in Drum? Of all the places to be, why here?'" Ace asked.
I puffed up a bit at the question which I deemed to be an insult. "What do you mean? Why can't I be here? Is there a law or something that prevents me from being on Drum Island?"
Ace laughed and put his hands up to defend himself. "No, no. You took it the wrong way. I was just wondering why since you are certainly not dressed for the cold," Ace said as he gestured to my hot weather outfit.
I subconsciously shivered at the thought and wrapped my thin coat tighter around my body. Why the hell was it so cold? And why the hell did I have to be dropped in such a cold place? Stupid fate.
Suddenly I felt a wave of heat flow over me. A sigh escaped my lips and I smiled at the unexpected warmth. "Mmmm…" I said as I leaned into the warmth. Wait, where the heck did all of this warmth come from? I opened my eyes which closed at the warmth, and saw Ace smiling at me. "Was that you?" I gasped.
He just nodded and held out his arm. It took me all of one second to cling onto him and feel the heat radiating off of him. Ah… it felt soooo good. And I told him as such. Ace laughed and wrapped his cloak around me. Personally I didn't care that he was getting close to me but if he tried anything he would be on the ground and in pain.
"Why are you so warm?" I asked as I gazed up at Ace. (Yeah, he is taller than me so back off!)
"That is a secret," he said with a wink. I blushed again and turned my head away. "So what are you doing here, Miss Haultin?" Ace asked, looking down on me with a smile.
My mouth opened to answer him when I remembered what happened over the span of the last twenty four hours and I began to sniffle. 'Why? Why is my family so broken?'
I always had this desire to leave my younger siblings in an orphanage so they could forget about the past and live normal lives. Maybe if we had left them at an orphanage then they would have loving parents to take care of them, not their weak and immature older siblings. 'Why should they suffer? Only I should have to suffer. Not them, not them.'
It was then that I fully broke down and cried. I felt the cloak around me stop as I kept walking but eventually I felt large hands holding my shoulders so I didn't walk out of the barrier of warmth.
I could hear Ace's voice saying, "Miss Haultin? Miss Haultin, are you all right? Did I say something wrong?"
Tried as I might I couldn't answer him, all I could do was cry and cry hard. Ace tightened his loose grip on my shoulders so as to comfort me. Instinctively I fell into him and cried on his bare chest; hugging him while trying to figure out all of my emotions. I felt Ace deepen the embrace as I cried for good long time. When I was able to speak all I could do was choke and gasp. Seeing, or rather hearing, this Ace pulled me away from him and leaned down to wipe away some loose tears. I sniffled and gazed into his eyes. Something in those eyes seemed to comfort me and I realized what I just did.
I quickly moved away from Ace and bowed my head. "I-I am s-sorry Ace. I-I didn't mean t-to break down like that. I-it's just that, I am looking for my family and I have no idea where to start. I am so lost," and I began to cry again. I can be such a wimp sometimes, it disgusts me.
Shockingly Ace laughed, and at this I glared at him. "It's nothing to laugh over you jerk!" I yelled and then stomped away in a random direction. The warmth left me but I kept going. I was still crying but this time I was pissed. Losing my family is no laughing matter. Just when I started to think that this guy was different. Man, this always happens. I start to like a guy and then he turns out to be a jerk. I am not a good judge of character.
As I was stomping away I could hear Ace running after me and calling my name. Hmph. I had no desire to hear or look at him. So, I began to run as well. Hearing his footsteps come closer and closer I wished that I had some sort power that would make me go faster. Almost tripping over my own stupidity I thought, 'The Spring Spring Fruit! You idiot! How could you forget so easily?'
I hummed that familiar tune and turned myself into a warm spring breeze that took me to a pier. Smiling to myself I turned around to see…no one. 'Did I really go that fast? Where's Ace?' I thought as I looked back into the distance but saw no one. Shrugging my shoulders I swiveled around to go back to the pier but I hit something and almost fell over, luckily someone caught me before I hit the ground.
Actually, not so lucky. There he stood. Ace. He got to the pier faster than I did and was waiting for me to turn around. His eyes bore into mine as I laid there, shocked, in his arms.
I could feel his staggered breath on my face since he was just running and his face was inches from mine. His chest went up and down and up and down. All I could do was stare and feel awkward for being so close to a man who was panting.
Ace bowed his head in order to collect himself then he spoke. "You, you didn't let me explain," he gasped, "Why do you always jump to conclusions? It seems that no matter what I say upsets you. What's the problem? What do you have against me?" Obviously he was angry at me but I was still shocked.
'Jump to conclusions? Do I really do that?' I pondered as I looked back on our previous conversations. 'Yep, I did. I am such an ass. Why do I jump to conclusions? Why was I so defensive?'
It was my turn to bow my head. "Nothing," I whispered.
Apparently Ace didn't hear me because he leaned in closer and said, "What? I couldn't hear you."
"I said, 'Nothing.' I have no quarrel against you, Ace. I am sorry. You should leave because I can be such an ass at times. I am so sorry that you had to put up with me. I just want to find my family and go home. That's all. Please forgive me," I whispered into his ear because he was just that close.
Ace just leaned back and looked at me. I still could not bring myself to look at him so I just cringed in his arms. And then he astonished me. Ace pulled me into his arms and held me close. After a couple of minutes of hugging he pulled us up into a standing position and bent down to look into my eyes.
"You're not an ass," he said. I bowed my head again but he brought it up with the gentle touch of his fingers. "You're not. You're just hormonal."
I growled, glaring at him until I realized what he said and how I reacted. It was too much and I began to laugh. A small laugh but it grew when Ace smiled.
"Okay, Okay. Maybe you're right on that part," I giggled.
He laughed. And I adored it. It was such a robust laugh and it made me want to laugh even more.
"Ha-ha. The reason that I was laughing before was because I am looking for my younger brother and I thought that it was funny that we should meet and have the same purpose for being in this country," Ace said with a grin.
Another blush crept onto my face. "Oh."
"Yeah, 'Oh'. So do you want to travel with me and we can search for our siblings together?" Ace asked with a loopy grin.
I perked up. "Really?"
"Really."
"Oh thank you! Thank you Ace!" I exclaimed as I hugged him.
The sound of his laughter rang through the air. "Sure. No problem. Now if you would just follow me, we can get going," he said as he gestured towards one of the boats.
"Okay!" I responded and ran towards the before mentioned boat. I turned around mid run and smiled at Ace.
He really was a nice guy. A prince charming.

So how did you like it?
Yes, yes I need to get to Luffy's crew but all in good time. Personally, I cannot wait for Rabia to get on the Merry Go. She is going to cause such mischief! Hehehehe…. Luffy and Nami better watch out!
BONUS!!
Looking around I saw this beautiful winter wonderland. It looked familiar though. So I stood up and brushed off the snow that collected on my clothes and looked around again but this time looking for some civilization. Smoke could be seen rising in the distance and I began to walk towards its source.
When I walked past a bush I heard a rustle. As I turned to look at the bush a reindeer popped out. I fell to the ground in surprise.
"Rudolph?!"
"Yep, that's me."
"What the hell are you doing here?"
"Hey! Watch the language!"
"Sorry."
"Anyways, this is the island of misfit toys. I should be the one asking you 'what the hell are you doing here?'"
"Rudolph! Watch your mouth!"
"Like I give a reindeer's ass."
O.O
And that is how Rudolph blew up Christmas.
The End.

Okay, I am done now! ; P
