I almost had to get off the computer making this hope you enjoy~
"Let me go! We have to stop her! Lucy can't be there! Damn it Dadan, LISTEN!" a teen yelled at a hut. He was tied up a tree a few yards away from it. He was about to continue yelling, but the ropes broke off. He stood up, dusted himself off and turned around only to be greeted by a head full of raven hair. "I'm sorry, Ace-nii," her muffled voice said. "It's all my fault. . . . I'm so sorry," she sad, hugging him tighter and started crying.
Ace looked at her shocked for a moment then just sighed and started pettinf her head. "Hey, Ace?" a male voice said. Ace looked up and paled when he saw who spoke. "S-Sabo. Is that really you?" he asked. "No. . . it can't be. Your suppose to be dead! What the hell happened!" he yelled. Lucy hugged him harder and started to shake as soon as he raised his voice. Ace stopped looking at Sabo and picked Lucy up.
They stayed like that: Lucy crying in Ace's shoulder, Ace glaring at Sabo while trying to sooth Lucy, and Sabo looking at them worriedly. She stop crying and fell asleep, her arms still around his neck. "It's a long story and we have to leave. I have to tell Dadan what happened, so you might as well listen," Sabo sighed and walked away to go inside the house. Ace followed him inside making sure Lucy was still asleep though.
"Hey Dogura is Dadan here?" Sabo asked. "She's over their drinking, Sabo," he said walking to Dadan but stopped. "S-Sabo! Your here! But I saw you get shot!" he yelled getting everyone's (except Lucy's and Dadan's) attention. "Boss! Boss! Sabo's alive!" Magra said getting her to look up. She walked up to him and hit him upside the head. "Don't play jokes like that, damn brat!" she yelled. "Guys, shut up! Lucy's asleep!" Ace yelled getting everyone to do so.
He went upstairs to their room, so he could change her clothes and put her under her blanket. He came back down and saw Sabo sitting with Dadan waiting on him. Sabo saw him and told him to sit down so he could start. So he sat down making a sort of triangle with how all three were sitting.
"So what happened?" Ace asked. "Well Dogura's right but then he's wrong about one thing. I didn't get hit but my boat did and I had to dive under the Celestial Dragon's boat to make it look like I died. After a few seconds I swam to the forest so I could dry my clothes and get something to eat," he lied. "But what happened to Lucy," Dadan asked. "When I came back I saw her where the crowd was but everyone was dead. Even the people from the boat, and she was just singing all covered in their blood," he said grimly making everyone who heard pale. "Wait- did she kill that Celestial guy?' she asked. "Yeah, why?" Sabo said. "Because If anything happen to them they send an admiral to get the person." she said making them pale. "Congratulations, your sister is a wanted criminal," she said with sarcasm and lighted a cigarette. "They can't do that! She's only seven!" Ace yelled.
"Well I can't do anything. It's not the military that's after her: it's the world now. Until you can become like your father, there's nothing you can do, both of you." she said shocking both of them. "Promise me you will protect her," she said looking at them seriously. "Of course we would! She's our little sister," Sabo said. "You have to promise me. She's in the same situation like you Ace plus murdering a Celestial Dragon! She's gonna have a bigger bounty than Nico Robin all because of what she did and her father," she said biting hard on the cigarette. 'Just like me?' Ace thought, biting his lip.
"Who's her father?" he asked. "That isn't my place to tell, but never mind that! You never answered my question, will you or will you not!" she said getting mad. Ace and Sabo looked at each other before nodding. "We promise," they said together making Dadan sigh. "Now go get that brat that started this and leave before something else happens," she said and they nodded.
They ran upstairs and packed all of their stuff. "Luce. It's time to wake up," Ace whispered. She stirred a little before looking at him with bleary eyes. "Ace-nii? I'm still tired," she yawned. "We're about to leave so who do you want to say good-bye to?" he asked. Ace picked her up and carried her over his shoulder. She put her nose in the nook of his neck and mumbled something before falling asleep again. With a small smile, Ace nodded his head at Sabo signaling that he was ready. Sabo smiled back and grabbed all of there stuff. "I'll get a boat and the money, you two can wait by the shore," Sabo said as they walked downstairs.
"I guess this is goodbye," Sabo said to Dadan. The two were standing in front of the door getting ready to leave. but stopped. "Take care of the brat for me," she said. "Sorry for everything and thanks," Ace said smiling. Lucy lifted up her head and yawned. "'M sorry fer everthin' but we gotta go, 'anks fer takin' care of us," she said still not awake. Dadan turned around and took out her handkerchief out of her shirt and started to cry. 'Damn brats! Get out of here!" she wailed.
