It was a sunny day with seagulls flying on the sky. Luffy was on the railings of the boat, bored out of his wits.

''I'm bored,'' he said. He turned to Zoro who was sleeping without any care then to his two brothers who seemed to be busy. He pouted and sighed.

Chapter Fourteen

''So, Ace,'' Sabo started as he looked at the map. ''What's going to be the name of the crew?''

''ASL?'' Ace hummed. Sabo's head turned to Ace.

''Luffy and I are not captains, Ace,'' Sabo said.

''Who cares,'' Ace shrugged. ''We're still on the same boat.''

''Yeah and a few years later Luffy wouldn't be.''

Silence spread all over the boat.

''Let's figure this out later,'' Ace said. ''Take up the helm will ya'? I feel like snoozing off.'' then he collapsed. Sabo sighed. Typical narcoleptic Ace.

The blond took the helm and navigated. There had been an island sighted not too far from them.-The four teenagers sat on a table, filled food. Luffy was already inhaling the food whilst Zoro was guarding his.

''A pirate crew needs people,'' Sabo said. ''What are you recruiting first, Ace?''

''Shipwright,'' the oldest said.

''Don't you think you need a ship first?'' Zoro asked. ''What's the use of the shipwright if he had no ship to look after?'' Ace rolled his eyes.

''We still need one in any case, genius Zoro,'' he said. ''Even if we did have a ship, who would fix it if things get awry?''

''If the ship gets a hole or something,'' the green head said. '', someone could just patch it up. What do nails, hammer and a couple of planks can't do?''

''Then, shipwrights wouldn't exist because of that! Not to mention with that alone, the ship wouldn't even last long,'' Ace said. Sabo whistled.

''You really have thought about it, Ace.'' Sabo said. Ace blushed and turned his head at the side.

''Of course,'' he said. ''I'm the captain after all.''

''It would be nice for Luffy to pick up that attitude,'' Sabo sighed. ''That way, we could worry less.'' The said boy tilted his head in confusion before shrugging and eating again.

Oshiama Isle was an island somewhere at the east of Dawn Island. Whilst the island wasn't particularly special or anything, it was known by some of the east blue dwellers to be the homeland of a family of shipwrights. That family had made countless ships for countless vicious pirates from east blue (though none of them were big shots).

''What a coincidence,'' Sabo said as the four walked on the streets of the unnamed town. ''It's like we're fated to get a shipwright.'' Hearing this, Ace perked up.

''What do you mean?'' he asked.

''I asked about this island a while ago,'' Sabo replied.

''When did you do that?''

''When you bickered with Zoro as we docked.''

''Oh.''

''Going back, this island was a homeland of a family of shipwrights,'' Sabo said.

''Great,'' Ace said. ''We'll recruit a family member then!''

''Sure thing,'' Sabo said, then finally he realized something. ''Ace, where's Zoro and Luffy?''

''Behi...'' Ace trailed off as he turned around. ''...nd us...'' The sworn brothers looked at each other in panic.

''Hey, Zoro,'' Luffy called. Zoro answered with a hum. ''Where's Ace and Sabo?'' The green head that have been closing his eyes as he walked halted on his trails. He opened his eyes and glanced around. They were at a forest devoid of human life.

''I'm pretty sure we're at the town earlier,'' he said then shrugged. ''Follow me this way, Luffy. Those idiots got lost.''

Ace and Sabo sneezed in unison. Ace rubbed his nose.

"We aren't sick, are we?" he asked.

"That would be bad," Sabo said. "We should recruit a doctor as soon as possible too."

The two future Straw Hats walked deeper inside the forest, far away from the town they have been...

''Zoro, are we there yet?''

''No.''

Whine.

''Are we there yet?''

Grunt. ''No.''

Another whine... ''Are we there yet?''

''Quit asking 'cause I don't know!''

''...''

Continuing on the path they have been travelling, they reached a clearing. In the middle of it was a house- a mansion from the looks of it. It would seem to be haunted however the two weren't even fazed by it looks. Luffy who had no remorse of things, marched up and knocked on the door.

''ANYBODY THERE? I'M HUNGRY. CAN YOU GIVE ME FOOD?'' he shouted.

''Luffy, aren't you forgetting something?!'' Zoro exclaimed as he went close to Luffy, exactly standing beside him. ''I'D LIKE SOME BOOZE!'' he shouted.

Ace stopped his tracks. Sabo raised a brow.

''What's wrong, Ace?''

''I suddenly got an urge to face palm.''

"I think you got this what we call 'Straw Hat idiocy detector'."

"Are you serious, Sabo?"

"I haven't joked for the rest of my life."

"I think you just did…"

"Sorry for busting in~" Luffy said as he kicked the door open. Due to his strength the worn out door flew out of its hinges. "Oops. Sorry."

Zoro shrugged and entered. He noted the dust adorning the whole room. "This place looks empty.''

"Aww~ so no food?"

"What do you think dumbass?"

"Che." Luffy pouted in disappointment. He, then, made a move to leave.

Suddenly, Zoro's eyes narrowed. " Though it seems that it's not inhabited." he said. "We've got a host, Luffy!'' Luffy stopped on his tracks, turned to Zoro and tilted his head.

A kid whose age is 10 went out of the shadows. He had a black hair and brown eyes. The boy looked at them with a scowl, holding a maul with his hands.

"Who the fudge are you guys?!"

Sup. Been a while. The chapter's so short too. I just suck at something original.
