Ace smiled at Luffy's surprised expression. The house had columns that reminded Luffy of the kind they had in Ancient Greece. Luffy walked up the stairs and looked at the finely trimmed rose bushes. 'This house is amazing! I wonder if its from Ancient Greece?'

"You don't need to be so surprised." Luffy shook his head,"This is the biggest house I've ever seen!" Thatch, opened the door for Ace and Luffy and lead them into the snack room. The snack room had a single crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling, several bookshelves filled with books, and a grand oak wood table in the middle. Ace sat down next to the window which had an excellent view of the rose garden. Luffy looked at the marble floor,' Should I take my shoes off? I'm so confused.' Luffy sat down next to Ace,'Why do they need such a big table?'

"S-so Luffy, did anything else happen in the mountains." Luffy shrugged,"There was the time I got eaten by a snake, or maybe that time I got chased by a wild boar. But those kinds of things happened even when you were there, so nothing really unusual." Thatch opened the door and set a piece of Pecan Pie in front of Luffy and Ace.

"Are you allergic to nuts? If so I can take it back and exchange it for Lemon meringue." Luffy looked at the pie,'Lemon meringue sounds pretty good to.'

"Can I have a slice of the Lemon meringue to?" Thatch smiled,"But of course, you can have as much as you want. Feel free to make yourself at home, Luffy-san is after all Ace's long lost brother."

"He told you already?" Thatch smiled and nodded,"Newgate-sama has permitted you to stay here as long as you wish."

"You told father?" Thatch nodded, and quickly left the room.

"Something wrong Ace?" Ace shook his head and smiled.

"Nothing really important. I was just surprised Thatch told my father I had a brother." Luffy frowned,' Ace has been acting weird lately. Maybe he really is sick or maybe he has a brain tumor!' Luffy walked over to Ace and touched his forehead to Ace's. 'At least he doesn't have a fever.'

"Ace you don't have a fever, so why are you turning red?" Luffy gasped,'Maybe he really does have a brain tumor!' Luffy hugged Ace,"Ace you can't die on me! Don't die don't worry I'll do whatever I can to help you!"

"Y-you don't have to worry Luffy, I won't die. I'm not sick. C-can you let go of me now?" Luffy sniffled,"I don't want Ace to die though." Luffy embraced Ace harder, he was practically sitting on Ace's lap now. 'Oh my god, Luffy!' Luffy snuggled into Ace's chest," I don't want you to die." Ace sighed and patted Luffy's silky hair. Ace wrapped his arms around Luffy.

"It's okay. I'm not going to die." Thatch opened the door,"Luffy-san I've brought the lemon mering-." Thatch looked at the scene with slight amusement,"I'm sorry for interrupting. I'll tell the others not to disturb you so feel free to continue." Luffy turned around,"Thanks for the pie!" Thatch nodded and walked out of the room.

"Thatch, is a weird guy." Luffy shifted his weight so he was sitting on Ace's lap like he used to do when he was a kid. Ace shifted uncomfortably beneath him and picked up his piece of pie. Luffy took the pie from his hand. "You're sick, so I'll feed you. Here say ahh~" Ace slowly opened his mouth and Luffy gently fed him the piece of pie. "Do want a piece of my lemon to?"

"Y-you're lemon?!" Luffy picked up the piece of lemon meringue and put a slice in his mouth. "It's pretty good. Do you want to try some or not?" 'Oh, that's what he meant.' Luffy slid the piece of pie into Ace's mouth. "Do you like it ? I thought it was pretty good." Luffy put another piece inside his mouth. 'It's really yummy.'

"Luffy, don't you think it's time to get off my lap?" Luffy frowned and slowly got off Ace's lap. There was a knock at the door,"I'm terribly sorry to disturb you, but the private jet is ready." Luffy opened the door and licked the meringue off his lips.

"Can I have another piece of pie." Ace pulled his brother back and put his arm around Luffy's shoulder. 'Did he put his arm around me because he's so dizzy from his brain tumor? I have to help him some how!' Thatch signaled a maid who brought over a packaged box,"I'll lead you to the jet." Thatch led them outside into the huge garden filled with various vegetables and fruits. Luffy couldn't help snatching up a strawberry and quickly putting it in his mouth. He spat out the leaves and wiped his mouth. 'That was a good strawberry.'

"We're here, please feel free to board. We have prepared a lobster meal for you to dine on during your flight. Feel free to watch any movies or play any games." Luffy walked up the stairs next to Ace. The inside of the jet had four tan chairs, a Flat screen TV, several black cases filled with the latest action games and movies. Ace sat down on one of the chairs. Luffy hugged him again,"Are you sure you're feeling all right? I'm really worried, if we need to take you to a hospital or anything, just let me know."

"L-luffy I'm really all right. It's just been really hot lately, so I turn red really fast."

"Oh, is that it? I thought you had a brain tumor! I'm so glad you're all right!" Luffy happily sat down on the chair next to his. "Do you want to play a game? What kind of game station do you have?"

"PS3 , so you can try playing Skyrim, it's a really fun game, I think you'll like it. I'll help you get through the levels, since I've already completed it twice, it should be pretty easy."

"I heard that game is really hard though."

"Nonsense, it's pretty easy once you get the hang of it. Here go ahead and put the game into the PS3," Ace said as he handed the disk to Luffy. Luffy, walked over to the PS3 and gently slid the game into the game station.

"All passengers please buckle your seat belts for take off. All passengers please buckel your seat belts for take off."

Luffy excitedly ran back to his seat and sat down buckling his seat belt. "This is the first time I've ridden in a plane! It's kinda exciting and scary at the same time!"
