Garp dragged his grandson through the forest, newly discovered granddaughter sitting on his shoulder, humming slightly as she braided small flowers into his short hair.
He looked at her from the corner of his eye, studying the little girl his grandson had taking in as his sister.
The girl, B-chan, had dark pink hair striped with electric blue held together by two black ribbons in pigtails on either side of her head, right under the black cat ears located on top of her head. Her eyes were bright blue and slitted like a cats, matching the blue dress she was wearing, a hole present on the back to let the black tail she had show, swaying lightly in tune with what she was humming, kicking her white sandal clad feet a bit.
She looked to be no older than two, and yet when he had tried to separate her from Luffy, had shown the skill of someone much older than that.
She had nimbly dodge his hands, climbing up his arm to his shoulder, and had sat there, refusing to move until he gave up (after she had given him the most evil glare he had ever seen) grabbing Luffy and dragging him to the forest with her still on his shoulder, happily braiding his hair.
"Jii-chan?"
"Hmm~?"
B-chan looked at him, stopping in her braiding as she did.
"Why you take Nii-chan from Maki-Nee?"
"Because if he thinks he can get away with becoming a pirate, then clearly Makino is going to soft on him!"
"Oh…"
They walked in silence after that, even Luffy haven given up on getting Garp to let go of him.
"Here we are!"
She jumped of off Jii-chan's shoulder, running to where he had dropped Nii-chan on the ground, taking ahold of his hand as he stood up.
"What's this dump?"
She climbed on his back, making it easier for him to run around like he wanted, her having done this so many time already in the short time they had know each other that he wasn't bothered by it.
Jii-chan knocked on the door to the small cottage.
"Shut the hell up! Whatever it is you're selling I don't want any!"
"Dadan!"
The loud shouts hurt her ears, making her press them against her skull.
"Owie..."
"You okay B?"
"Mm..."
"Garp, what are you doing here?!"
She stopped listening at that point, hoping doing so would stop the hurting in her ears.
Until Jii-chan grabbed ahold of her dress, making her tighten her hold on Nii-chan, thereby making it easier for Jii-chan to lift them both.
"They're yours now."
She looked up at Jii-chan, who lifted them up a bit more.
"Hey you two, say hello."
"Yo!"
"Hi..."
"Who are they?"
"They're my grandchildren, Luffy and B-chan!"
She giggled, the looks on their faces was just to funny.
"HUH~?!"
"YOU WANT US TO TAKE CARE OF TWO MORE?!"
She squirmed in Jii-chan's grip, making Jii-chan let go of her.
Nii-chan began running around again, only stopping to say something that made the lady with the pretty orange hair yell at him, before running around again.
Then something landed on Nii-chan's face.
"Huh, what's this?"
"Smells bad..."
"Ew~! Spit! That's gross!"
They looked around, searching for the person that spit on Nii-chan.
There he was!
She jumped of Nii-chan's back, making it easier for them to move and they ran to the boy that had spit on Nii-chan.
"Hey, why'd you do that you jerk! You better apologise for that!"
"Ah, there he is!"
"Hello Ace, welcome back!"
She looked at the boy, who was sitting on a dead bear.
She could tell by the smell.
He had wavy black hair and grey eyes, with a dust of freckles present on his cheeks and over his nose. He was wearing a red tank top, brown shorts and a pair of black shoes. In his hand was an iron pipe, probably a bit taller than he himself was. He looked to be about ten and he was glaring at them.
"I'm waiting!"
He just kept glaring at Nii-chan.
"Luffy, B-chan, this here is Ace. He's three years older than you, Luffy and eight years older than you, B-chan. Anyway, you're gonna be living with him and Dadan from now on."
"What! Not so fast!"
Nii-chan growled at the boy, Ace, who just kept on glaring at them.
She narrowed her eyes, getting ready to attack him if her Master were to tell her to.
Jii-chan punched Nii-chan.
"Ow~!"
"You play nice."
"We said no!"
Jii-chan turned his head to the lady.
"You'll do it."
She would have laughed at their faces if her Master wasn't in potential danger.
"Sir, yes Sir!"
"Well time to hit the road, I'll stop by again when I have time."
"What about child support?"
"Put it on my tab."
She blinked, looking up at Jii-chan.
"Jii-chan leaving?"
He looked at her, an apologetic smile on his face.
"Yeah, I am. Sorry B-chan, but I just don't have the time to stay here for long."
Her ears drooped, sad her Jii-chan had to leave so soon.
"Okie..."
She was surprised when Jii-chan picked her up, giving her a little hug.
"Don't worry B-chan, I'll be alright. Take care of your brother for me, alright?"
She looked at his face and nodded.
"Mm!"
He grinned.
"Good girl."
He put her down, turning around and walking away.
Her ears twitched.
"Say you're sorry!... Hey, come back!"
She turned around to see Ace walking away from Nii-chan, who was looking at him angrily.
She walked up to him as he wiped the spit off his face, still looking at Ace with frown. She took his hand, making him look at her.
"Master?"
Nii-chan blinked at her way of addressing him, before seeming to get why she did it.
"No, B. He isn't an enemy."
She nodded, complying easily with her Master's command.
"Come on you brats, get inside!"
"Come on, B!"
"Nya!"
"Hey~!"
He ignored him.
"Wait for us!"
'Just ignore him.'
"Hey~!"
He turned around, annoyed, and looked at the two kids following him.
The one with the straw hat looked up at him and grinned, waving both his arms at him.
"My name's Luffy and this is B! Everything's cool now, I'm not mad about you spitting on me!"
He looked at the idiot waving at him, then at the little girl next to him, holding onto the fabric of his shorts.
Her bright pink hair and cat features was the first thing that caught his eye but then he looked at her eyes.
Bright blue, slitted eyes that were currently looking at him with far more intelligence than they should be capable of.
"It's not worth getting bent out of shape, I'd rather be friends!"
The girl narrowed her eyes at him, as if she had read his mind.
"So can we come with you?!"
He kicked a tree at them.
