A/N: I don't own One Piece

"Where to next" Ace asked as he walked away from a pool of magma, "there's not much left to do on this island".

"There's a small island near here that we can go to" Sabo told them.

"Then let's go" Luffy yelled as he ran towards the boat they were sailing on.

The past four years had been extremely hard on the three boys. They had trained extremely hard with their Devil Fruit powers as well as their Haki and their Rokushiki. They had become powerful enough that they believed that could sail the Blues and remain relativity unharmed, the only problem with that was if they fell into the water they would die. They had also become proficient with their chosen weapons and had already sailed part of the East Blue. The problem that was recurring was that Ace was being insulted by pirates and he soon unleashed his Magu Magu no Mi powers turning everything nearby to Magma.

They quickly set out for the next island to hopefully have a better adventure and hopefully have Ace not turn something into lava. The next island was called Goat Island and was supposed to be uninhabited and would prove to be a place that the boys could take a break and hopefully not get noticed by the Marines. Sabo being the smartest of the three boys knew that if they spent much more time in the East Blue that they would be noticed by the Marines and hunted down for the Devil Fruits they possess. With him and Ace only being fifteen and Luffy being twelve he knew that the three would be an easy target for the World Government to come after.

So, he decided that after they explored Goat Island he would explain to his brother that they had to leave the East Blue for a while and travel to the other blues. They had already decided to travel them anyway but he didn't think that they would have to travel to the other blues so quickly. He looked forwards to it anyway.

Luffy had been enjoying his adventure so far, except for Ace's anger everything had been fun and he had even got to test himself a couple times against pirate captains. He still had problems with controlling his Devil Fruit, his problem was very similar to Ace's if he got angry he was likely to turn the area around him into ice. He knew that the control would only come with time and that for now he just needed to make sure his powers didn't hurt anyone that was his friend or on his crew.

Ace was angry, he was also strangely terrified of his Devil Fruit powers. He had recently realised that he has a problem with his temper flaring and how his powers react to it. The only ones that could calm him for now were Luffy and Sabo, he was shocked the first time that Luffy used his ice to stop the flowing of Ace's magma. He didn't think that the young boy had the power to stop his magma and that broke him out of his anger, he realised how much he could have hurt his brothers if he continued to let his power loose. That was when he heard Sabo yelled about the island that they were arriving at.

"So, this is Goat Island" Luffy asked unimpressed, "doesn't look like much".

"This will be our last island in the East Blue" Sabo informed them, "we've bought to much attention to ourselves".

"Where will we go next" Ace asked as he looked at the smartest of the three.

"We'll go to the South Blue" Luffy announced, "it will be so much fun".

"Are you sure" Sabo asked as he looked at Ace, he knew more about Ace's pat then Luffy and knew that Ace was really from the South Blue.

"It's fine Sabo" Ace stated, "after we finish with this island we will head to the South Blue.

"Alright" Luffy yelled as he jumped off their small boat, "let's explore".

The three boys walked around the island soon finding the centre, on to notice a small camp that seemed to have recently been built recently. Luffy being Luffy quickly walked over to the camp and food recently cook meat and started to eat it as quickly as he could find it with Ace and Sabo doing the same behind him. They heard a startled gasp as a man entered the clearing and noticed three young boys eating their meat.

"I'm going to kill you boys" the man growled, "do you realise whose food you just ate".

"No, we just found it" Luffy replied with a grin, "thanks for the food".

"You brat" the man yelled, "this is the Mountain Bandit Higuma's camp".

"He's the one that Shanks scared off" Luffy yelled excitedly, "he knocked him out with a look and threw then onto a boat to be set off".

"You're that brat" the man yelled, "the one that insulted Higuma".

"Damn right I am bastard" Luffy yelled back, "I'm going to beat you up now".

Luffy charged the man at a speed that the bandit couldn't react to and kicked him in the gut sending him flying through the woods and hitting a tree, instantly knocking him out. The grunt he let out on contact with the tree must have alerted some more of the bandits as soon there was screaming and the rest of the bandits entered the area. The lead bandit was definitely the one from before as he stunk of alcohol and had the same look.

"You're the man that mocked Shanks" Luffy screamed as ice covered half his face, "you'll pay for that".

"Ace, we have to move" Sabo whispered into his ear, "we know how Luffy gets".

"Agreed" Ace replied, "let's go".

Ace and Sabo took to the trees as the ground beneath them froze over, they watched as the bandits looked at their brother in fear. Luffy used a Soru and quickly appeared in front of the first man and kicked him back and out of the clearing. The bandits overcame their shock and charged at the boy stabbing their swords through his body. They smirked as their swords slid through Luffy's torso only to watch in shock as the straw hatted boy smiled at them and their swords froze in their hands. They pulled back as their blades broke a part and looked at the young boy in fear.

"That's enough" Ace yelled as he jumped down from the tree with the ice melting under his feet, "calm down Luffy".

Sabo appeared next to the youngest boy and put a hand on his shoulder and made the boy look him in the eyes.

"Stop this" Sabo told him, "they're done".

"Fine" Luffy muttered, "their leaders not here".

"Let's go" Sabo stated, "we need to leave as soon as we can".

"Okay" Luffy yelled with a smile, "to the South Blue".
