Chapter 6

Eight years later…

Ace smirked when they had landed on a new island. It was such a nice, peaceful and pretty island- it kind of reminded Ace, Luffy and Sabo of Dawn Island, just without the mountain and different type of green trees and forest. It was lovely, on all of their minds when they first landed a week ago was, where the hell were they?

They weren't completely sure where they were as they got lost thanks to a storm that hit them out of nowhere- which does happens on and off during the Grandline and the brothers and their crew knew that but it seemed to completely blown them off course so now they have no idea where they are. Since Sabo, pretty much knowing nearly everything especially when it comes to navigations, had no idea where they were so they all knew they were lost and off course when Sabo had no idea.

Sabo had suggested to land on the nearest island and ask them the name of island so that they know where they are and Sabo can work out a plan on where to sail to and from there. And Luffy was happy because it means an adventure on an island that they haven't been on. Though Ace was wondering if they were in the New World or Paradise, because they were just happened to be near an area to get back to Paradise (for reasons that they don't wish to share right now) when the storm hit. Since they were going, well, at least they were trying to go back to Paradise, well, at least that was the plan. Before that dam storm happened, sigh.

If only everything would go to plan. Sigh.

When they landed on the island it was under attack from a pirate crew so Luffy, Sabo and Ace saved the village the best they could while the rest of the crew, the ASL Pirates helped the villagers to escape and treat them. The villagers were very thankful, even though they were still a nervous around the ASL Pirates because of the rumours about them plus there's what is said in the paper too.

Which are pretty much all lies- no, they're actually demons, no they're not murders or rapists, no they're not man-eaters, no they don't attack people for no reason at all or destroy things at random or without a good reason- they only destroy things by accident unless they were meant to destroy it! No they're not crew murdering either, no they don't have a hundred thousand men- they have a small crew, no they are not thieves/robbers they're pirates dam it, no they are not going to rob you of all your belongings, yes they do eat a lot of food, no they don't see themselves as gods and think that everyone and everything is beneath them, no they are not mean, rude and/or cruel they are in fact are very kind, caring, helpful and friendly. No they are not old they are quiet young actually, Sabo and Ace are seventeen and Luffy is fourteen. And yes, they can be every entertaining and funny when they want to be.

Like last year when they decided to make sure that the world knew who they were officially instead of just the rumours and small talk like they were for the year before. They wanted the world to know who they were without the world knowing who they were- or in Luffy speak- we wanted the world know to who the ASL Pirates and their mystery Captains and Crew without using or giving away their names (not Ace's, Sabo's and Luffy's names but the crew' member's names were fine to be given away.)

The ASL Pirates had taken over a marine base and had board casted a bunch of things to the world about the Marines (mostly the higher ups ones) - secret things and embarrassing from personnel files. Like one of the top Marines is scared of pushie/soft/stuff toys, one is allergic to seafood (and they're a Marine on the sea where seafood can found!), one being an drunk, another one have an fear of women, something about allergic to nuts and bees plus there was strawberries and watermelon on that list too and one being colour blinded too.

It was the funniest and fun-est things that the boys have done with the crew. The whole crew and Ace, Sabo and Luffy had called each other/the Captains by the first letter of each of their names- A for Ace, S for Sabo and L for Luffy, that way no-one (especially the Marines) knew fully who they were nor their names. It was one of first things that they had to decide to do to turn the world upside down and so that the world would know that existed and that they weren't just rumours or myths. That they were real and they were here, whether people (especially the Marines) liked it or not.

They had hoped that whoever had watched it like it had as much fun watching it as they did filming and starring in it. Seriously, it was one of their greatest moments and things that they did to piss off the Marines.

Though Sabo would love to know how the hell they were able to get away with doing that in the first place. Seriously, how were they about to do that and get away with it in the first place? Seriously? How? They were at freaking Marine Base! How did they get away with it!?

Though Ace, Sabo and Luffy right now were cutting down trees to make materials for the villagers so that they could rebuild their village, but in a different location so that they weren't so close to the sea/ocean so that pirates couldn't attack them that easily again. It was the least that the brothers and their crew could do for the villagers since they did accidently burned down/destroyed part of the village defending it.

Sabo wanted to leave- since the island was under protection from Whitebeard once they had worked out where they were and what the island was and Sabo did not want to fight the World's Strongest Man right now, they would be outnumbered, out-strength and be done in by the man and his crew in no time. Whitebeard and his crew were out league of the ASL Pirates' League, at least for now.

Give it a few more years with getting more, many more crew members, which means that they will need a bigger and better ship, sorry Seb but this little ship is not going to boat well against some of the bigger and larger ships, especially up against a ship like Whitebeard's one since Ace for good reasons (though some might say for no reason), stupid reasons but good ones, is dead set on beating Whitebeard to make a name for himself) and make sure that the new crew members are trained and are strong enough to handle the New World.

The crew is still currently training to be stronger so that they can get a better handle on the New World, since a few of them still aren't yet strong enough to fully handle what the New World has to give them. Even after training on an island isolated for a few years then taking over the Marine Base last year and doing their special broadcast (even if it was at the end of Paradise and not in the New World).

Also somewhere along the way they had managed to pick up a devil fruit which Ace, Sabo and Luffy had shared it (not realising what it was) and somehow the three of them end up sharing it's powers (which has never been heard of or seen before till now- seriously, no-one knows how or why it happened and they would love to know how it did happen and why. Maybe they deed a devil fruit researcher or something?).

But still, even after about week, the ASL Pirates and their Captains, called the Fire Brothers by the Marines, are still helping the villager rebuild and move their village. It was taking a lot of time and effort.

"How many more trees do we need S?" Ace asked Sabo as he broke a few more down using his fists and legs to either kick or punch the trees down.

"We'll take these back and see A," Sabo answered, "Hopefully this should be enough. I want to leave as soon as we can."

"I'm hungry!" Luffy complained.

"Shut up L!" Ace snapped at Luffy, "We're working! You can eat later!"

"But I'm hungry now A!" Luffy whined.

"We'll eat soon L," Sabo smiled to Luffy.

"Who are you?!" a blue shark-whale looking person thing (aka Jinbei) said coming up onto the beach and seeing the three teens, "Why are you here!? What happened to the village?! Did you attack it?!"

Sabo looked at their new and unexpected guest- he was a Fishman, like Donny, but a different type of one of course. Why did he look familiar to Sabo?

"Hi!" Luffy smiled which made the Fishman take a step back, "I'm L and these my big brothers A and S! We're here because we kind destroyed the village by accident so we're helping the village get rebuilt! Who are you?"

L? A? S?

Wait a minute… ASL!? Wait… Destroyed!? These brats are the infamous ASL Trio? Also known as the Fire Brothers and are the Captains of the ASL Pirates?! And they destroyed the village that was here!?

"L, we did not destroy the village by accident," Ace told Luffy.

"Actually we kind of did A," Sabo nervously laughed, "Because we most certainly didn't do it on purpose. Though it was mostly you and L. You two have no control sometimes I swear."

Luffy just shrugged his shoulders- that was true, out of the three he was the least experienced and had least control over his devil fruit powers so he wasn't offended in anyway or mad at Sabo for starting the facts. Ace on the other hand, he seemed to be greatly offended. Sure his control wasn't as good as Sabo's but he was more experienced and it also that doesn't means that the blonde has rub it in his face!

Ace was the main one who come up with their attacks! Sabo was just better at control it! But who needs control when you just need to kick ass? Right?

And how was he meant to know that the Pirates were going to be weak and go flying so much from his punches and attacks? How he meant to know that the buildings in the town were going to be so flammable? How was he meant to know any of this? (Because it was kind obvious? Sorry Ace but it was.)

"We didn't destroy the village!" Ace insisted, "It was just collateral damage when we fought the pirates who were attacking it. Difference."

Well, that was one way of looking at it Ace.

"But we did set some of it on fire and destroyed at least three buildings, if not more," Sabo pointed out, "Which were by accident. We didn't meant to do it."

"Not our fault that buildings were so dam flammable or that the buildings got in the way of us kicking ass," Ace shrugged.

Did Ace really just say that? Why did he sound like Luffy just then? Does Ace even know he sounded like Luffy just then?

"What were you expecting the buildings to do A?" Sabo argued with Ace, "Move? They're buildings! They can't move you idiot! I expect something like that from L not you A!"

Okay- are they really having an argument in front of an enemy? And seriously Ace, what were you expecting the buildings to do? They can't move out the way, Sabo has a very good point there.

"What's that meant to mean!?" Ace shouted and argued with Sabo.

"I mean you're talking like L!" Sabo told Ace.

Um… you kind of did and are Ace. Did you not notice that?

Jinbei aka blue fish do, had no idea what was happening right. Were these two human teens really have this kind of disagreement right in front of him? Why!?

"AM NOT!"

"ARE TOO!"

"ARE NOT!"

"ARE TOO!"

"ARE NOT!"

"ARE TOO!"

What the hell is going on? Seriously, what are they doing? Jinbei really wanted to know because he had no idea.

"Ne, blue fish dude do you poo?" Luffy asked Jinbei.

Why did the kid ask him such an unusual question? Was that really what the kid wanted know? Was that really the first question that came out of the kid's mouth and ask Jinbei? In fact, why wasn't the kid afraid of him? Lots of humans, especially and normally human kids are scared of him, why isn't this one?

Ace and Sabo hit Luffy in the head into the sand.

"DON'T ASK QUESTIONS LIKE THAT L!" the two of them yelled at their little brother at the same time.

Luffy whined about mean brothers as he spat sand out his mouth which just made Ace at his brother and Sabo finally how he knows/recognises Jinbei as Luffy stood up shaking the sand off himself like a dog shaking water off itself after getting wet.

"Shit Warlord!" Sabo said pointing at Jinbei finally working out why the guy looked familiar (took you a little bit Sabo), he was a Warlord that was in the paper in an article that Sabo had been reading the other day, "Your Jinbei!"

"Correct brats," Jinbei told them, "Now I will fight you!"

"Why?" Luffy asked a little confused. As far as Luffy knows, they didn't anything to upset or anger the blue fish man so why would they fight him?

"Because this island is under Whitebeard's protection and I will deal with this mess before he gets here on his behalf!" Jinbei told Luffy as he attacked Luffy who dodge the attack.

Wow, the blue fish dude moves fast in Luffy's opinion.

"DON'T ATTAK MY LUFFY YOU BASTARD!" Ace shouted as he punched Jinbei away from Luffy as hard as he could.

'Why Ace? Why?!' Sabo thought.

"Did Ace just say my Luffy?" Luffy asked with a slight blush over his face. Ace has been doing that a lot lately, calling Luffy his Luffy or going 'my Luffy'. The younger teen had no idea why Ace does it but he likes it, though he has no idea why.

"Yes, yes the idiot did," Sabo sighed as he shook his head then pulled out a Den-Den Mushi from his pocket, "Brodie, its S. We have a situation here. Bring the others. Captain A did something stupid, again."

"Was Captain L involved in anyway?" Brodie asked.

He knew she knew the answer to that already, but played along with it anyway.

"What makes you think that?" Sabo asked as Ace was yelling about how 'no touches my Luffy but me' and some other things in the background. You know, if anyone outside of the crew heard Ace talking like this- they would be understanding what Ace is saying right now.

Sabo sighed, normally when Ace starts a fight or they have a situation it normally Luffy in some shape or form or manner. Either that it's Luffy that has done something stupid or someone had tried to do something to Luffy and Ace reacts to it, and sometimes he might overact to it, just a little.

"No reason," Brodie laughed even though they both knew why. They both knew that she could hear Ace in the background. And this is Ace they were talking about.

"Just get yourself and the crew over here please," Sabo said.

"On it Captain S!" Brodie laughed.

Why does Sabo have a feeling that he is going to regret calling Brodie and the crew over here?
