"Come on Sabo tell us! That guy knew you! Why?!" Ace crossed his arms boosting the tension around the group

Ruby was biting her thumb; their daily breaking and entering of high town was incredibly thrown off by some guy calling out Sabo's name "Guys if Sabo keeps a secret its probably for a good reason?!"

"We're brothers Ruby! We don't keep secrets from each other"

"YAA! Luffy piped in.

"-Wait we don't?" Ruby took a deep breath "Sabo it is apparent that you broke the rules of brother hood? Speak of the secret and we won't beat you as hard?" Ruby really needed a guidebook for being a brother; she didn't want to mess up the rules.

"Fine Ill spill! I am not an orphan from the Grey Terminal! That guy back there was my father and… he's a noble" Sabo took a deep breath "I am a noble"

"So what of it?!" Ace and Luffy just started to pick their nose; while Ruby on the other hand was strangely quite

The gem's eyes widened " WHAAAAAAAAAT! BE RIGHT BACK" Ruby dashed all the way to the tree house scrambling to find the dictionary. Pulling every book out of every shelf she finally found it!

The gem with book at hand jumped out of the tree house falling face first. Ruby dusted herself off and ran straight back to her brothers.

Luffy was starting to grow bored "When do you think square would be back"

"It'll would probably be awhile" Sabo heard yelling from the woods, he looked over and saw Ruby running straight towards him and she doesn't look like she was stopping "Guys move out the way!"
"Why?!"

Before Sabo can say anything Ruby crashed into Ace and Luffy.

Ruby jumped out of the pile and grabbed the dictionary that was flung out of her hand. She searched through every page finding the right word "GOT IT" the gem took a deep breath " I AM SHOCKED AND SPEECHLESS! I AM ASTOUNDED! THIS IS JARRING! Ok I am done now"

"Do you hate me now?"

"Hate you? No! I was just waaaaaaayyy surprised that you were a noble! You act nothing like the nobles I've protected!"

"Oh-Wait you protected nobles!"

"Ya Rubies are made to protect cargo, gems of high authority, take on gem's that gone rogue; we're sort of used for anything that requires strength!" The gem puffed up her chest proudly

Ace glared at her "So basically you were a marine?"

Ruby scratched her head "What's a marine"

"A bunch of-"

Sabo slides in interrupting "ITS WHAT GARP IS! People who like being told what to do because they think its right!"

"Oh so.. I am a marine?"

Luffy bursted in "FAR FROM IT SQUARE! YOU'RE GOING TO BE A PIRATE LIKE US!"

"But I don't even know what that is!"

"Being a pirate means being free and doing what you want when you want! Nobody tells you what to do!" Luffy folded his arms

"I am still confused"

"Luffy just let Ruby do what she wants. Its her choice on what ever she wants to be"

"But she was going to be my first maaaaaaatteee"

The gems ears perked up "wait first mate?" Ruby quickly searched for a definition in her dictionary and her eyes grew big at the definition "Y-You want me to be second in command! You really trust me that much!" flames were coming below the gems feet.

Ruby tackled Luffy and pulled him in for a death grip hug "ILL DO IT! ILL FOLLOW YOU TO HELL AND BACK CAPTAIN!"

"Told you she wanted to be a pirate shishishi! Umm Square your burning me"

"-Oh! Sorry I got a little excited" Ruby immediately let go of Luffy and patted off the left over flame on Luffy's shirt

Ace rolled his eyes

Sabo was still looking concerned "You guys are going to have to go to high town without me since my dad is probably searching for me"

Ace gave Sabo a good hit to the head "No way Sabo if your not going to high town we aren't going!"

"Ya!" Luffy and Ruby cheered

"Heck Ill even take extra precaution to make sure this 'dad' doesn't find you!" Ruby punched her fist together

"Is this the Runt you're looking for?" The gruff women tightly gripped on to the missing poster, her orange-stripped skin shined through the moonlight

"Yes and he around-"

"PHA! I don't care what the circumstances are! Us Quartz love a good hunt especially a challenging one! As long as you nobles keep your secret about what the gem race is here to do I will hunt this kid to hell and back " The Quartz soldier walked away with a huge grin on her face.
