A/N. Ok, here's episode 2. Hope you guys like it! Time for review replies!
To Starbell Fairy: Hey, that is actually a really good question. Um...Well, truth be told, I wanted to reverse they ages, so Luffy was 20 and Ace was 17, but then things got kinda out of control and my brain or rather imagination usurped control. So the ages decreased to 14 for Luffy and 12 for Ace, then 12 for Luffy and nine for Ace, and then ten for Luffy and seven for Ace. And I just stopped before made one four and the other a baby. So yeah...You can thank my out of control imagination for that one. Anyway, thanks for the review and hope you enjoy this chapter.
To Kenshin El: Thanks, I thought really hard about that power. Anyway, thanks for the review and hoe you enjoy the story!
To Naomi-nami16: Yep! I can just imagine little Ace clinging to his sister. As for the ideas, yes. I have a bunch flying through my head. Now if I could just reign them all in and keep them under control. Not likely though. Thanks for the review, please enjoy!
To Aoi Usa: Yep! Happy Happy cute cute~ ACE! I need to stop, I'm sorry. But anyway, thanks for the review and hope you enjoy the others!
To Thrill-Pair-All-The-Way: Thank you! Yay! Ace and Luffy, really it's Luffy and Ace. You gotta how Sabo's going to react to this when he finds out though. Please enjoy!
To Kitsumi-sama: Thanks! And the idea of a sibling role reversal was given to me by weirn018, everything else, including the Devil Fruit power, was my own imagination. But I can't take complete credit, I'd like to, but I can't. As for all the fem!Luffy fanfics, your welcome, really I just like writing them, and it makes me happy when others read them. And thank you for the compliment. Hope you enjoy the rest.
To Shiary: Good question! Believe or not, while I was typing this, I completely forgot about Coby. And since I didn't want to go back, and re-edit the whole entire chapter, mainly because of mass laziness, I decided that Coby will already be apart of the Marines. Hehe...He already knows the siblings as well, as Garp introduced them, in hopes that Coby could convince them to be Marines instead of Pirates, as you can see, he failed miserably. And I just came up with all of that too. So anyway, thanks for the review and hope you enjoy the fanfic!
To Vampire Revan: Thanks! Hey Marco, and I can see that. Thanks Buggy, but you do know you're next on the list of bad guys who lose their dignity by getting his butt kicked by the big sister right? Vampire Revan, please be prepared to place Anti-Red-Nosed Freaks shield up, I'm about to anger a clown. HAHAHA! Anyway glad you enjoyed it! Thanks, and hope you enjoy this one as well.
To LikeTheSky: Thanks, and I'm glad you find it interesting, I'll try to keep it that way. Hope you enjoy the rest!
To weirn018: Thanks! And I'm glad you gave me the idea. I hope you like the rest too!
To TheBlackSeaReaper: Thanks, and I'll try. As for Whitebeard and Teach, the two are still around. I plan to introduce Whitebeard during the Sabaody Archepalago incident with Bartholomew Kuma.
To everybody: THANKS FOR READING EVERYBODY!
Episode Summary: Luffy, Ace, and Zoro meet Nami, a navigator, and a good one too. Luffy wants her for their crew, but first they have to burn, kick, and generally beat down Buggy the Clown. Sounds like fun right?

Episode 2: Playing With & Humiliating Clowns!
Orange Town-
Zoro was again, beginning to wonder if it was such a brilliant idea to follow a couple kids neither older then 15 even. Somehow, and without a lot of effort on his part, Zoro lost track of them. Oh no, he wasn't lost, but he still had lost the children. (Insert memory of Zoro's many succesful attempts at getting lost).
"Where the HELL are they?" he called, from the forest, outside of the town.
Inside the town-
Ace was beginning to wonder if it was a good idea to have recruited that man. He was a great swordsman, but they hadn't even taken one step, and they'd already lost him. Currently they were being served a delicious meal by the nice lady they had run into, and consequently saved from a bunch of thugs. How was actually quite comical, and accidental at that. Luffy had been giving Ace a piggy back ride while looking for Zoro via the air. She wasn't paying attention when she landed, and as a result, wound up saving lady, by using the men that were chasing her as a landing pad. They had landed safely, and had helped the nice lady, but the men were not so fortunate.
"I don't believe I ever gave you two my name. It's Nami." She introduced herself. If Ace was to be honest, she was rather pretty, but she was still a strange lady, at least in Ace's opinion. Luffy smiled as she introduced herself and Ace.
"I'm Luffy, this is my little brother Ace! Nice to meet you!" Ace sighed as he gave a hesitant wave. His sister was really too friendly, but Luffy was good at judging people, as she was 99% of the time, correct in her assessements. Of course, there was the rare person who proved her wrong, but usually she was spot on. "Miss Nami, why were they chasing you?" Luffy asked. Nami thought for a moment before bringing out a piece of paper. She rolled it out in front of them,
"This is a map of the Grand Line. With it, I can steal a lot of money from the pirates there! I'll be rich!" The woman was lying, Luffy could tell. You see, unlike what most people think, children are actually quite bright, they can be immature, but they are very bright. They can tell when you're lying, and are often better lie detectors then the actual, and flawed, machine. And Luffy was the perfect example. Even the most praticed liar couldn't fool her, as her brain was wired differently from others, and it was that same wiring that gave her her gift for her near perfect judgement of another's character. Luffy knew that Nami was lying, but Luffy let it go. She would discuss it with Ace later, but for now, Luffy would let it slide. Instead, Luffy found something that could efficiently take her mind off of it for awhile,
"If you have the map, you must be a great navigator Miss Nami." The woman infront of them nodded her agreement, looking quite prowd of her skills.
"The best you'll find in the East Blue!" she stated, a proud grin on her face. Luffy nodded as her whole expression brightened,
"Really? Oh! Miss Nami please join our crew!" Luffy stated as she all but jumped out of her seat and nealy tackled Nami out of the chair. Ace stayed seated, and watched silently as Luffy began to bug and insist that Nami join their crew. Nami was about to answer when the whole house shook.
With Zoro-
Zoro had found his way in to town, but now he was beginning to wonder something else. He still hadn't Luffy and Ace, and was now sitting in a cage. He was wondering how he'd gotten in to this mess. A short recap in his head had come up short. He had found his way back into town after some miscellaneous wandering, and come across a man with a big red nose. The man himself, looked like an idiot, with a horrid fashion sense no less. And he was wearing make-up. Now he was in a cage, really he was at a loss.
The clown man, Buggy appearently, was blowing up the town with a weapon he called the Buggyball. Appearently it was five times stronger then a regular cannonball. The end result was a bunch of good sized holes in the various buildings in the town, and the town itself being deserted.
"Flashy brilliant!" The man called out in anger as his men, once again, returned with no map. Appearently some girl had stolen a map of something that the man had, and was now currently MIA with it. This seemed to displease the man greatly, and caused him to nearly kill several of his own men. "WHERE IS MY MAP?" The clown man called out again. The man was about to go on another tyrade, this time, with the cannon pointed in Zoro's direction, when he was impromptly used as a landing pad by a ten year old Luffy. It just so happened, that said child had been the woman who had stolen the map with her. Luffy and Ace seemed to be joined by the hip, as he never seemed to see the two seperated. He'd probably ask about that later, but for now he'd do as Luffy does when people lie to her and she can tell. Leave it be, and maybe bring it up later.
"What was that about flashy-Hey Zoro! There you are! How'd you beat us here?" Ace blanched at the man in the cage as he answered the question for him,
"Luffy, I don't think he beat us here willingly. Besides, he's doing a great impersonation of a caged bird right now." Ace said as he began, once again, questioning his sister's choice in friends and the swordsman's strength. Zoro growled out warningly at the boy, before proceeding to grumble about ungrateful and ignorant little brats and how disrespectful they were to their elders. He finally sighed as he noticed Ace was standing at the gate to the cage and inspecting it. "So how bad do you want out?" Zoro just laughed as Ace grinned at him. Despite their constant behavior to each other, Ace actually thought of Zoro as a sort of big brother, the same could be said of his sister naturally.
"Just get me out of here, before your sister bites off more then she can chew!" Ace looked behind himself, noticing that Luffy was preparing to fight three of the clown man's crew all by herself. He had no idea where that Nami-Lady went, but it didn't matter at the moment. Ace hurrie and burnt threw the lock, thoroughly melting it and setting Zoro free.
Zoro immediately drew his swords and proceeded to block a sword strike from a man with a funky hairstyle on a unicycle. Luffy took the chance to jump over Zoro, using the opposing swordsman's head as a steppingstone, and made a heel-first dive for Buggy's head. A man with riding a lion attempted to stop Luffy's attack, only to be met by a fiery Ace.
As the battles progressed, Buggy got distracted when he heard the chinking of metal. He turned around, only to spot Nami, carrying a large sack of treasure, Buggy's treasure to be specific. Buggy became angry, forgetting about Luffy and lunging for the thief.
"You give that back! It's mine!" He almost got the woman when Luffy, who was just watching, noticed that Buggy's leg and lower torso, were left behind, still infront of her. Luffy looked between the two for a second, before delivering not just one or two, but three cheap shots.
"Luffy's Mega Triple Punt of Pain!" Luffy called out as she delivered a devistating combo to Buggy's lower region. The end result was that Buggy probably wouldn't be able to walk properly for the rest of his life as Luffy caused the bottom half of his body to fly into the sky and disappear. The remaining members of Buggy's crew all began to quack in fear as they realized just how demonic the little girl was, or at least seemed to be.
Outside of Orange Island-
Luffy and the crew, including their newest member, Nami, were sailing away from the recently repopulated town. Luffy and Ace had convinced Nami to leave some money behind for the townspeople to rebuild. Nami had agreed, although reluctantly, thanks to the combined efforts of Luffy's and Ace's puppy dog face. As Luffy and Ace bonded with Nami, Luffy began to plot their next destination. They'd need a sharpshooter after all.
On an island in the East Blue-
A 14 year old boy with a long nose stood at the edge of a cliff. He was gently fingering a gun as he waited slowly for the time to tick by. He stood up as he counted down from five, walking away with three other boys in tow.
5-4-3-2-1-He yelled out suddenly as he and his younger friends broke into a sudden run,
"THE PIRATES ARE COMING! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!"
