Chapter Eleven

Family

Luffy was walking down to the village to visit Makino. He smiled as everyone was saying hello to him. He smiled and walked into a bar and Makino waved to him "Your normal Luffy."

Luffy laughed, "Yeah. So Makino have you heard anything from Rena, or Ace."

Makino's head dropped a bit. "Luffy, the Marine's said she turned traitor and had been planning on executing her. But a group of pirates had gone and saved her." Even Luffy could tell that Makino was upset. She handed Luffy his stack of food and drink.

She was flipping threw the newspaper and was soon smiling. "Look Luffy it's Ace's new bounty poster."

Luffy was looking at the poster and smiling. He could see Makino smiling. "Hey what you smiling about Makino?"

"Oh, just knowing that Rena is fine." She said holding up a wanted poster of her daughter. And in the background you could see Ace. "Seems that she is alright."

"Wow she teamed up with Ace… I need to get them to join my crew when I meet up with them." He said smiling.

Makino smiled and looked at Luffy. "Alright well before you leave make sure you see me. So I can give you a letter to take with you."

"A letter what for," Luffy said with his mouth full of food.

"A letter for Rena, that way you can give it to her whenever you see her." She said smiling.

She was looking at her daughters wanted poster and saw her smiling and looked like she been laughing. It seemed that Ace was looking at her fondly, 'could it be that you finally dating him Rena.' Makino smiled as she watched Luffy finish his food and asked if he could have the posters.

Luffy was walking through the village and saw the mayor walking up to him "Hello Mayor."

"Luffy what are you up to?"

"Going to get back to training."

"Training… Please say you don't still want to be a pirate."

"I am going to be a Pirate like my big brother and sister."

"Rena is not a pirate."

"No Rena is a pirate, look." He said showing him Rena's Bounty. This made the Mayor groan.

(Scene Break)

Garp was getting a list of new pirates to see that Rena was among them. He was sad she could no longer be a marine but she seemed happy and was with Ace. He sighed, and was happy to know she was safe.

(Scene Break)

Luffy was walking in the woods to get to training he would be stronger than both Ace and Rena when he runs into them. Luffy went to a giant boulder and went to punch it. He made a dent, "Not good enough." He walked away and went to do his work out. He wanted to destroy the boulder with one punch. 'I need to be stronger than both of them.'

(Scene Break)

Shanks was drinking when a man ran up to him. "Shanks look, its Rena."

Shanks took the paper to see his little girl with a huge bounty. She was smiling at them it was easy to see that men would chase after her. She had grown into a beautiful woman. Looking at the photo he noticed that Ace was in the background. And he could tell from the look that Ace was giving her that he cares a great deal about her. Seeing this photo put his heart at ease. When Whitebeard told him not to visit her. Even tough Marco came to see him did not put his mind at ease. But now he knew she was alright. He smiled and looked at the sky feeling a breeze in the air. "Rena, I will see you soon." 'I hope you're happy with Ace.' He thought to him self.

Benn looked at the bounty and smiled he was thrilled to see Rena was doing well. He shook his head as he watched Shanks bragging about his daughter to his crew. Showing them how she was going to be one of the best pirates.
