A/N: I don't know much about Ace so this chapter might not bethat good.Also I put Ace in a small boat for his means of transportation. Also sorry for not updating last week with the holidays and all plus I had writer's block too.

Chapter 9: It Figures

It was just your average, quiet day on the Merry Go… scratch that, it was just your average loud day on the Merry Go.

"Cabbage Head!" yelled Sanji.

"Perv Master S!" yelled Zoro

"Insane in the Membrane!" yelled Kanchome

"Platypus Man!" Yelled Kolulu

"Will you 4 stop arguing!" yelled Tia

"Not again…" sighed Nami

"Will you be quiet!" yelled Brago.

"Meru mei" said Ponygon (Translation: I agree with the Goth kid)

"What Goth kid? ...Oh yeah, Brago" said Chopper.

"It s up to the great peacemaker Usopp to stop their fighting!" yelled Usopp.

"Go! Usopp!" said Yuki.

"I doubt you can get them to stop" said Robin.

"I'm hungry, do we have any meat?" asked Luffy.

"And Yellowtail?" asked Zatch.

It was just your average day with on the ship until they got an unexpected visitor, Portgas D. Ace, Luffy's older brother. He was on his small boat when suddenly he heard Sanji's voice call out "Poruk!" and Zoro plus a little girl with pink hair fell off the boat as if they were knocked down by something hard. Both surfaced in the water, the little girl didn't' look too happy, nether did Zoro.

"They… will… pay!" both said in the same tone.

"Uh… hi." said Ace.

Zoro turned around with a sweat drop. "Hey Ace." said Zoro.

"Whose he?" asked the little girl.

Luffy looked over the side of the boat, and became extremely happy.

"ACE!" he yelled.

After they dragged Zoro and Kolulu out of the water, Ace boarded the ship.

"Who's he?" asked Zatch.

"This is Ace, he's my older brother!" said Luffy.

"Hey, what's with the kids?" asked Ace.

"Well it's a long story," said Luffy.

Not too long later…

"…and that's the story!" said Luffy.

"You just didn't tell the story, you just said "and that's the story"" said Ace.

"It's true." said Zoro.

"Oh yeah… well it the story of a lovely lady…" said Luffy.

"That's not it!" yelled Nami.

"Oh yeah it's the story about man named Jed…" said Luffy.

"That's not it ether!" yelled Sanji.

"Oh yeah… oh yeah, here how it goes, there once was man from Nantucket…" said Luffy but before he could finish he was met by the fist and kick from his crewmates.

"The real story is…" said Robin who began to tell Ace the story.

Not long later… "So the kids are from another dimension to fight for king?" said Ace not believing it.

"That's right." said Zoro.

"And we use these really cool books to use their powers!" said Luffy showing him his book.

Ace was surprised at what the book looked like, he read a book like that once… but he thought it was a dream.

"What happened involving a mamodo?" asked Zoro recognizing the same reaction as Smoker did.

"Well I think I had one but I thought it was a dream." said Ace.

"How can you write something off as a dream like that?" asked Brago.

As if on cue, Ace fell asleep.

"Oh no! He died!" yelled Chopper, and he along with Luffy and the mamodos but Brago began to panic.

"Uh… guys…" said Nami.

Then Ace began to snore and a bubble appeared on his nose.

"I can see where this is going…" said Usopp.

Tia began to get angry, "Why… you!" said the angry Tia.

"Please don't do that! He's my brother!" said Luffy.

"That's right!" said Zatch.

Tia was no longer angry "Okay Zatch, I won't hurt him"

Ace woke up "What was I talking about again." He asked.

"About that you might have had a mamodo." said Robin.

"Oh right…" said Ace.

(Flashback)

Ace was in his small boat he hears barking. He sees a dog, swimming with a book in mouth. The dog manages to get into the boat. The dog barks at him happily.

"Hello boy, what's that?" asked Ace.

"Woof!" barked the dog (Transition: Read this book!)

"A little boy fell down a well?" asked Ace.

"Woof! Woof!" barked the dog. (Translation: No! Read this book!)

"What's that, the ol' barn house is on fire?" asked Ace.

"Woof…" barked the dog (Translation: Well a bookkeeper's a bookkeeper)

The dog nudged the book to Ace.

"You want me to read this book?" asked Ace.

The dog nodded, "Woof" barked the dog (Translation: That's right)

Ace shrugged and began to look at the light brown book. OF course he found he couldn't read anything until he found something he could "The First Spell: Doruk?" read Ace.

Suddenly the little dog became a giant monster.

"Oh shit!" cried Ace getting so scared that he accidentally unleashed his firepowers burning the book. The dog/monster disappeared and Ace once again fell asleep writing off the whole incident as just a dream

(End of Flashback)

The Mamodos were confused at this while most of the Straw Hats thought "I knew that would happen if Ace was a book keeper"

"So… how did the book get burned?" asked Yuki.

Before Ace could answer Luffy yelled out "He ate the Mera Mera fruit and he shoot flames from his hand!"

"Yeah that's right" said Ace, he began to leave "I have to head out, nice seeing you guys!"

"Bye Ace!" said Luffy.

And so Ace left, not long later, "So it seems that we finally have found that a book was burned" said Brago.

"Well we have only met a couple" said Nami.

"And together we have only had two battles" said Zoro.

"That's true" said Robin.

"But the other Mamodos will eventually show up to battle, that's when the battle will start." said Brago.

"Um… has any one seen Zatch?" asked Luffy.

Everyone shook their heads no.

Zatch showed up soaking wet… naked carrying two yellow tails. Both Tia and Kolulu began to blush heavily.

"Put your dress on now!" yelled everyone but Luffy, Tia and Kolulu.

Next Time: Hyde and Eido are back! Eido now had a devil fruit power, will this effect his rivalry with Sanji... probably not. Also Hyde tells the Mamodos about their pasts.

A/N: Ace's mamodo was Gofure, that dog mamodo who appears in episodes 4 and 5.
