I do not own one piece
Out in the distance a marine ship with the figure head of a dog was sailing towards the Moby Dick. A man with a dog hat stood at the head of the ship grinning. "Wait for me Ace, Sabo, Luffy! Grandpa's coming to visit!"
On the Moby everyone was walking around doing something until the lookout called down. "Ship sited it's a marine ship!" Marco looked up "who's stupid enough to attack us, yoi?" He looked out to the ship and sighed annoyed.
Ace and Sabo decided to step up and ask the blonde what was going on. "What's up Marco? Whose attack us?" Marco shook his head "it's nothing like that it's just Garp he sometimes come's to drink with pops nothing serious, yoi."
Both boys turned deathly pale. Ace screamed "Luffy! Shitty gramps alert!" Luffy jumped out from nowhere looking just as pale. "Grampa's here?" Both ravens were screaming running in circles. Sabo was holding his knees shaking his head "this cannot be happening! We have to hide!"
Ace and Luffy nodded "we need to hide!" Thatch looked at the three alarmed "what's wrong with you three? It's only Garp he won't hurt you!" Ace looked at Thatch darkly "then you don't know the shitty old geezer!" Sabo nodded "we need to protect Lu! The crazy old bat will try and take him!"
They were broken from their rantings when a loud voice shouted "oi Newgate I'm coming aboard!" Whitebeard looked up from his pale sons seeing the old marine hero board his ship. Ace and Sabo instantly hid Luffy behind them.
Garp grinned seeing two of his grandsons. "Ace! Sabo! Where is Luffy?" The two glared at him and Ace stepped forward "he's not here shitty gramps!" Garo clobbered Ace over the head sending the boy to the ground with a giant bump.
Luffy decided to jump out of hiding and scream "don't hurt Ace!" Garp cracked his knuckles "you three disobeyed my direct orders! I told you no grandsons of mine are becoming pirates now let's go! You're becoming good marines!" Luffy screamed and decided to wrap his arms around Marco who was glaring daggers at the old marine.
"Mama Marco! I don't wanna become a marine!" Marco ignored the new nickname in favor of glaring harder at Garp. "Don't worry Luffy you won't be, yoi!" Garp stood tall seeing the defiant look in the phoenixs eyes. "These three are my grandsons! You have no authority over them!"
Thatch stepped up hand on his sword. "Ace and Sabo are both eighteen so you can't tell them how to live their life! As for Luffy well we're pirates so what do we care about the Law?" Garp glared at the two commanders. Ace and Sabo stood next to them seeming slightly more confident.
Garp grabbed Luffy's legs "well Luffy is only 15 and he's my biological grandson so I'll take him if I damn well please!" Garp pulled on Luffy's stretched legs and Marco held on tighter to his upper half. "You are taking Luffy anywhere, yoi!" Garp snorted "watch me pirate!"
Whitebeard having heard enough stood up slamming his bisento on the ground stopping everyone. He narrowed his eyes at Garp. "Garp you should know if you try taking one of my sons against his will then I will retaliate! These three boys are happy where they are why take them from that?"
Luffy nodded eagerly now able to stand on his own. "Yeah gramps I don't wanna leave pops ship! It's fun here and I'll miss Thatch and Mama Marco too much! All the others too please don't try and force me to leave! I won't change my mind ever!"
Garp sighed looking at his three grandsons he shook his head "I'll leave it alone for today but it's not over! I won't have my grandsons becoming pirates! Now let's drink Newgate!" Whitebeard laughed nodding to the old marine. The two went inside away from prying eyes.
Everything was silent before Whitebeard broke it "what's bothering you Garp?" The old man looked up at the pirate captain. "Have any of them told you about their pasts?" Whitebeard nodded "Sabo is a son of a noble. Ace hasn't told me but me and Marco both figured it out as for Luffy since he is your grandson I'd assume that means Dragon had a son."
Garp nodded "you realize what kind of burdens your bringing onto your ship don't you?" Whitebeard grinned "you should know that I believe we are all children of the seas blood has nothing to do with the person! And Garp you should also know with backgrounds like that those three are the safest here on my ship." Garo nodded agreeing.
"I'm not denying that! I just wanted them to grow up safe in the marines where I could protect them!" Whitebeard nodded in understanding "but you also know the marines isn't the best place for those boys. Sengoku may be understanding but many others are not." Garp nodded he sighed standing up "know this Newgate you may think Ace trusts you but until he tells you who his father is then he does not trust in you!"
Whitebeard nodded in understanding shooing the old marine off he leaned back in his bed thinking. 'I sure have picked up three interesting brats! A son of Roger, a son of Dragon the revolutionary, and a son of two of the most powerful nobles they sure have big names.' Whitebeard laughed to himself downing the rest of his sake.
The old pirate captain was interrupted by a knock on the door. Ace walked in looking slightly conflicted. Whitebeard looked him over curiously "what's wrong my son?" Ace looked down "Sabo told you about his past so I thought maybe since everything is getting serious I should let you know about mine as well."
Whitebeard waited for Ace to continue he looked up hatred shining in his eyes. "What would you say if Roger had a kid?" Whitebeard grinned "Gurarara that's what you're so worried about brat? Well then I would say it doesn't matter! We are all children of the sea! I don't care about what blood runs through your veins that doesn't make you who you are!"
Ace felt the tears dripping down his cheeks and he protested. "But Roger was your enemy! Why would you want his son on your ship?" Whitebeard shook his head "we were rival pirates but that doesn't mean we weren't friends. I respected Roger and I still do to this day! But Ace you should know you are MY son now not Rogers or Garps! Nothing will ever change that."
Ace fell to his knees in tears "pops! Thank you! For accepting someone like me into your family!" Ace cried until there were no more tears left to shed. Whitebeard grinned down at one of his younger sons "you should run along now I'm sure Luffy and Sabo are worried about their older brother!" Ace nodded turning and leaving the room feeling like a weight had been lifted off his shoulders.
