I do not own One Piece but I do own this plot!
Ace could believe his luck, of course his little brother could never do anything he asked. All he wanted was for the boy to not run off on his own but of course he looked away for only a second and his brother was gone.
Ace looked up sharply when he heard someone muttering to themselves. He cursed diving into the bushes next to him. He peaked his head out wanting to know what he was dealing with.
The freckled boy felt dread pool in the pit of his stomach. Of course of all people it would have to be Whitebeards first division commander. Ace cursed his horrible luck sometimes. He needed to find Luffy and fast before this overgrown pineapple took his brother.
Ace waited holding his breath as the blonde passed by his bush. He watched him intently waiting for the blonde to get far enough away from him so he could sneak away.

Sabo followed behind Thatch almost annoyed. The cook just didn't know how to stay quiet. It's like he's never heard of the word before. Sabo couldn't believe how unlucky he was.
He sighed deeply glancing around at his surroundings. He knew it would probably be easy to lose the cook. He grew up in a similar terrain to this islands so he could disappear in seconds. But he need to make sure they got far enough away from the boat, he needed it to get off this island.
Thatch cut through some tree's, this humidity was going to ruin his hair and he was not happy about it in the least. The cook didn't even notice when the little blonde he was supposed to be watching slipped away into the tree's.
Thatch only realized something wrong when he didn't hear the kid's footsteps behind him. He turned and his eyes widened comically before he screamed. "Oh my god Marco's going to kill me!"
The cook couldn't believe his luck, how could he a commander lose a child in the jungle? He looked around worriedly. "Sabo! Hey come where are you? Seriously Marco's going to kill me if you disappear on me?" There was nothing but silence and Thatch felt like hitting his head on a tree.
"What's wrong mister? Are you lost? Are you hungry? I bet your hungry!" Thatch looked over once again shocked. Standing in front of him was a young kid with a straw hat.
Thatch didn't know whether he should scream in frustration of jump for joy, he'd lost one kid but he'd found the other. If this one was here, then the freckled hot head should be close by somewhere.
Thatch smiled weakly at the boy. "I lost my friend but no I'm not lost and I'm not hungry either but thank you for worrying about me."
Luffy nodded smiling brightly. He was happy when the people around him were happy. The young raven looked around curiously he knew his brother was probably going to be really mad at him for running off on his own but he hadn't meant to, he got distracted by something shiny off in the distance and next thing he knew he was here.
Luffy turned about to head back off into the jungle to hopefully find his brother but was stopped. "Ah wait!"
The young raven stopped looking back at the cook confused. Thatch laughed nervously he didn't know how to make the kid stay and if he tipped him off about who he was the kid would most likely fight him. "Um do you think maybe you could try and help me find my friend?"
Thatch waited for the kid to deny him but that never happened. Luffy smiled brightly nodding excitedly and determined. "Yosh! I'll help you find your friend! Leave it to me! Shihihihi." Luffy marched off into the jungle with Thatch following behind him.

Ace was up in a tree looking down at two people. 'Why does that little rubber brained idiot always have to attract trouble wherever he goes?'
Ace was watching Luffy walk through the jungle with an older man who was most likely with the flaming turkey. Ace groaned rubbing a hand down his face, taking care of Luffy was definitely a two-person job, he couldn't wait till he got Sabo back and they could split Luffy duty between themselves.
Now Ace had to somehow figure out how to get Luffy away from the pompadour haired man. He knew he couldn't just reveal himself, he'd be caught too quickly and that would be bad for both him and Luffy.
Ace sighed running a hand through his hair. Luffy was simple minded so it should be easy to get him away from the odd man. Ace grinned taking out a knife he had on him. He looked up and reflected the light right at Luffy.

Luffy was swinging a stick around as he marched through the jungle. The weird pom-pom guy was trudging behind him mumbling to himself. Luffy stopped when something shined in his eyes.
Luffy grunted shielding his eyes. He looked down seeing something shining on the ground. Luffy lunged at it but it moved right before he could get it. The light kept moving and Luffy took off running after it not even noticing that he was leaving Thatch behind.
Said man had been mumbling to himself and looking at his feet. He stopped when he ran face first into a tree. Thatch groaned rubbing his sore nose, he looked up and his eyes widened. "What the hell! Where did the kid go he was just here!"
Thatch groaned holding his head in his hands. "Man Marco's going to kill me for this!"
"You got that right, yoi." Thatch screamed jumping. He turned around and blinked confused. Marco had Sabo but there was a rope around the boy's wrist connected to Marco's.
Sabo was completely annoyed he had almost gotten away but Marco just happened to show up last minute and caught him.
Thatch shrugged off his confusion. "Anyways Marco the other two kid are on this island! I just had the straw hat brat but he disappeared! Like one minute he was there the next he was gone!"
Sabo's eyes lit up excitedly. "Ace and Luffy are here? What are we waiting for we need to go find them! Oh and you can't ever take your eyes off Luffy or disaster soon follows, that's why taking care of Luffy is a two-person job."
Sabo was extremely happy to know he was really close to his brothers. Marco sighed pinching the bridge of his nose. "Alright fine let's go find them before they take off again, yoi."
