In this chapter, the Whitebeard Pirates will meet Sabo and a Strawhat pirate will accidentally reveal that the Strawhats went back in time! As always, please tell me what you think about my story! No flames please.
Thanks to all those people who reviewed, favourited, and followed. You guys are a great help with the ideas you give to me sometimes, even with your questions!
Story Start!
"This is Sabo, my brother!" "Pops, look, this my brother, we thought he was dead but he's not". Ace and Luffy had been dragging Sabo around introducing him to all the people on the Moby Dick that they came across.
Everyone were nodding and saying, "Nice to meet you, Ace's big brother." To which Ace would angrily reply, "He's the same age as me!"
When the trio had come across Whitebeard, who despite his nurses and Chopper's protests, was sitting in his chair and drinking some of his favourite rum, Ace had immediately dragged them over to him and this is where we continue with our not so regularly scheduled story.
"Gurarara, nice to meet Ace's brother. Tell me, are you the older one?"
Sabo rubbed the back of his head and said sheepishly said, "It felt like that at times but Ace is actually a couple months older than me."
"Sabo was always the nicer one when we were younger! He was so smart and funny and kind and strong and he always broke up the fights Ace and I had!" Luffy began chattering to Whitebeard about Sabo and Ace when they were younger. Ace and Sabo just stared at the happily chattering Luffy.
Two thoughts occurred to Sabo as he stared at Ace who had joined Luffy but instead of talking about the older brothers, he was waxing poetic about Luffy:
1) His brothers had major brother complexes. He also...maybe...probably...okay, totally did, too.
2) Didn't he need to talk to Luffy about knowing things he most definitely shouldn't?
Now, which issue should he address first? The brother complex(es)? Or the knowing-things-he-shouldn't-know?
Hmm... Let's go with the easier option!
Knowing-things-he-shouldn't-know, it is!
"Hey, Luffy! I wanna talk to you!" Luffy bounced over to him. "What's up, Sabo?"
"I wanted to know, but how did you know bout me being with Dragon, and, well, everything?"
Usopp looked over at them, "Oh, you didn't know? That's because we went back in time!"
"WHAT?! WENT BACK IN TIME? " was the general reaction from everyone except Whitebeard (who raised an eyebrow and looked at his son's little brother questioningly) and the Strawhats who of course, knew that, they had, in fact, gone back in time. Nami hit Usopp on the head and when the dust cleared Usopp was lying on the floor, with some painful looking bumps on his head.
"Usopp, we weren't going to tell them that yet!" Nami yelled at him. "I'm sorry, Nami."
"Luffy, what did you mean you went back in time?" Ace asked looking at his little brother with an eyebrow raised.
"Oh, time girl let us go back in time to save you Ace." Even though Luffy was smiling, it was clearly fake as he was trembling and his eyes were filled with tears.
Ace and Sabo looked at him, before Ace realised why this look was so familiar. This was the same look Luffy had when they thought Sabo had died. So that meant... Ace had broken his promise. He had died.
"Oh Luffy." Sabo had reached the same conclusion as Ace.
The two older brothers, opened their arms. Luffy leaped at them, hugging them both tightly.
"A-A-Ace broke his p-p-promise." Sabo glanced at Ace; that was between the two D's. Ace, though he saw Sabo's look, just said quietly, "Later." and the two of them concentrated on comforting Luffy, who was still crying and mumbling something.
Sabo hmmed in question, the rubberman pulled away slightly and said, "I was alone. My nakama was spread out everywhere."
This caused the rest of the Strawhats to pull Luffy (and, by association, Ace and Sabo) into a hug.
After many quiet reassurances, during which the Whitebeard Pirates politely turned away, Luffy, Ace and Sabo who had started tearing up a little earlier, were totally reassured and they turned towards the rest of the pirates.
"What do you want to know?" Luffy asked. All of their answers was simple, "Everything."
End! Okay, how'd you like that? Was it good? Was it as good as the other chapter? Better? Worse? Tell me! Give me suggestions, ask me questions, I'll PM you or if you're a guest, answer in the next chapter! Bye bye! Reactions to the once past and future will be coming. This fic is getting kinda sad. It's not supposed to be sad. Oh well.
This story might as well be incomplete, the way I update it. Yes, I know this chapter is short.
