I am so sorry about the late update. I had Comic con then finals and now its summer! So I should have much more time to write. I also decided to write another one piece fanifc, but I'm not sure if it will be a one shot or not. Also if anyone watches Young Justice I think it's a good fic? But it is really new. Anyways next chapter will be the Ace/Sabo/ Luffy reunion. (But it is going to be kind of one sided.)

.

Sabo smiled lightly at Ace's rantings. His brother was chattering in the shotgun seat like a little kid. He was talking about everything that happened in the last few years since they were separated. From what Sabo managed to catch he was found by the Whitebeards. They had been nice and despite Ace's initial hesitation they were good people.

"So what are we going to do about that important mission you blew off?" Ace asked.

Sabo shrugged undecidedly. "I don't know, do you think Whitebeard will go for it?"

Ace thought for a second, "I guess it was my job to decide that for him but I will go with you on this one. Whatever you think."

"Well it can't be said that the Outlaws and the Rebels get along." Sabo said truthfully. "But I'm sure that can be forgotten in place of their hatred of the government." His knuckles tightened on the steering wheel thinking about it. He truly did hate the government.

"I think our best chance would be to team up, it's the only way to take them down."

Ace nodded slowly. "And you're certain they're not going to turn on each other?"

Sabo shook his head, "The need to defeat the enemy will bond them, at least for the time being."

"Well then, now all we have to do is go tell Whitebeard."

"Tell him the plan or your little vacation?" Sabo asked raising an eyebrow.

Ace shuddered thinking about it. "Hell no!" He said firmly. "I am just going to disappear for a while and then return without a word. This happens more than you would think."

"You're the secound mate, should you really be saying that?" Sabo asked curiously.

Ace shrugged, "They knew what they were getting into when they gave me the job." He explained. Sabo grinned at this, same old brother as before. It almost felt like nothing had changed.

"There are some things I need to tell you as well." Sabo said.

"Like why you joined the Revolutionaries?" Ace questioned.

Sabo nodded. "After I woke up I had absolutely nothing to go on. So I decided that the best way to figure it out was join the Rebel. Sure enough I learned a lot of stuff, like for instance why we were targeted."

"Are you going to share?" Ace said eagerly perking up.

"Remember that whole conversation we had with Luffy about who his parents were?"

Ace nodded not knowing what that had to do with it. "He said he didn't know."

Sabo nodded, "Well it is actually a big deal. His dad just happens to be my boss, Monkey D. Dragon." He paused so Ace could process the information.

Ace froze for a moment as thoughts bounced around in his head. Luffy was just like him, the son of a monster. Ace never wanted Luffy to go through what he had to, he had thought he wouldn't have to. If one thing was clear he was tired of children suffering because of their parents actions.

"We can't tell him." Ace said firmly.

Sabo nodded understandingly. "We won't." He promised. "But unfortunately that's not the worst of it. We were attacked that night by enemies of dragon. I don't know how they found out but they did."

Ace frowned, "Why was the government there?"

Sabo winced. "That was the other bad news. The Vice General in charge is Monkey D. Garp, Luffy's grandfather and your guardian."

Ace cussed surprised. "What the hell? Aren't I suppose to know if I had a secret Guardian out there? And also why the hell was Luffy in foster care if he had family."

"I can't answer why or how Garp became your guardian." Sabo said, "Nor the one about putting Luffy in the system. But I do know that they had caught word of the terrorist attack. They had come that night to relocate him somewhere safer to protect him from another attack like that. Unfortunately it gets worse."

"Worse than that?"

Sabo nodded, "No matter what Garps intentions are Dragon has many enemies, one being the government itself."

"Meaning?" Ace asked clearly wanting Sabo to spell it out for him.

"Meaning Luffy is probably with the government right now and they are using him as a hostage for if dragon tried anything."

"Shit." Ace said worry pooling in his stomach.

Sabo nodded slowly understanding the feeling.

"Does Dragon know?"

He shook his head, "I don't think Dragon even knows he has a son."

"This is going to get awkward." Ace said with a small laugh. He was trying to drown his worry away but it wasn't working.

"You can say that again." Sabo said his tone serious.

"Do you think Ace burnt anything down yet?" Thatch asked curiously. At the moment he was lying on the absent teens bed throwing a ball at the ceiling and catching it as it fell back down.

"How would I know?" said Marco annoyed as he continued writing. He had a terms paper due tomorrow and the other teen wasn't helping.

"I don't think he did." Came a new voice full of concern. "But then again he does love to light stuff on fire." There in the open window sat a blond haired boy with a top hat.

Both Marco and Thatch jumped up to face the intruder.

"Who are you?"

Sabo frowned at them as he slid off the ledge and into the room. He had told Ace that his friends wouldn't take it well if someone broke in. But Ace had insisted it would be funny, plus he had to go find Whitebeard and the two were a little short on time.

"Ace's friend." Sabo said uncertain how much he should give away.

"Yeah right." Marco said stepping intimidatingly closer to the kid.

"What's his favorite color?"

"Orange." Sabo said without a pause. If they were going to drill him they should at least make it challenging.

"His Birthday?"

"January first." Honestly Sabo could of gotten that off of Ace's file. They were going to have to try harder.

"What's his password?" Marco asked gesturing to the old laptop sitting on his desk.

Sabo frowned thinking for a moment. "He doesn't have one," He said firmly. "There's no way Ace would remember it."

The two boys stared intently at him for a few minutes before the brown haired one laughed and went back to throwing the rubber ball.

"He checks out." He told the blond one who still seemed tense.

Marco sighed but went back to his desk leaning up against it. "What's your story?" he asked after a few awkward seconds.

(Ten minutes later)

"Well the old mans convinced, let's go." Ace said bursting into his dorm room that was unsurprisingly full of people. Sabo sat on his desk drinking coffee Marco had offered, Thatch was still lazily throwing the ball and Marco was ignoring them both to finish his homework.

"That was quick." Sabo said getting up to leave.

Ace nodded throwing clothes into a duffle bag, ignoring his two best friends questioning looks.

"Where are you going?" Thatch asked as he rolled aside so Ace could grab his pajamas.

"Away." He replied simply as he zipped up the duffle.

"When will you be back?" Marco asked without even glancing up.

Ace shrugged clearly ending the conversation.

"Cover for me." He told his friends as he followed Sabo out the door.

"Kay." Marco called back without pausing his typing.

Thatch glanced after him feeling a small ping in his chest. He wasn't sure why but he felt like saying goodbye just in case. It shouldn't be a big deal, after all Ace did this all the time sometimes for weeks on end he just vanished. But this time, something told Thatch this was going to be different. He turned to see Marco staring at the door as well.

"He will be back right?" He asked quietly.

Marco only laughed, "I'm not sure, but don't worry we will see him again soon. Whatever trouble he is getting himself into is probably huge. Eventually we will have to go bail him out. After all, what are best friends for?"

"They seem nice." Sabo said as the two of them got in the car.

Ace nodded in agreement. "They are so annoying." He said affectionately. His tone and words didn't quite match up but Sabo got the general idea. Ace loved those guys.

"So whats the plan?"

"We are going to go stalk Garp." Sabo said with a grin. Finally after all these years they would be together again.

Sorry about the shitty writing in this chapter, I just really wanted to get it done. I rushed so much it must be full of mistakes. Next chapter will be the half reunion yay! I also promise to put way more effort into the next chapter. Also I wanted to say before I forget that there is a reason I decided to make Luffy fourteen. I am not going to share it yet but basically it goes along with the idea that the real story starts when he turns 17. So naturally this orgin story should end before then. It is sort of like a prequel with no sequel. Anyways please read and review! Thank you all so much for sticking with the story.
