I do not own one piece.

Ace and Sabo both stood in front of Whitebeards throne along with Thatch. They were both unusually serious. Whitebeard looked down at them. "My sons I am sending you with fourth division commander Thatch to go deal with some brats on one of my islands. They have been causing chaos on that island and need to be dealt with accordingly."

Ace and Sabo both nodded in understand. Sabo stepped forward "when do we leave pops?" Thatch spoke up. "We're leaving in a few hours so go get your things and say your goodbyes." They both nodded deciding to break it to Luffy first.

They found him relatively easy. He was with Marco trying to distract the commander from his pacing nervously. Luffy looked up hearing footsteps and grinned. "Ace! Sabo! Mama Marco won't stop pacing for some reason and he won't tell me why!"

Luffy pouted but became tense seeing both his brothers acting weird. "What's wrong with both of you?" Sabo sighed "Lu pops is sending us off on a mission and we leave today." Luffy grinned cheering "yay where are we going?"

Ace shook his head "no Luffy you're not coming with us! This mission is for me and Sabo your stay here with Marco and the others." Luffy glared shaking his head stubbornly. "No way! That's not fair I want to go too!" Sabo placed a hand on his shoulder looking sad.

"You can't come Lu it's too dangerous and this is our mission. Just like when you get yours we can't interfere with it you can't get in the way of ours it's not fair." Luffy frowned not liking that he was being left behind. He nodded sadly walking over to Marco and pouting.

Ace frowned before turning his back on their little brother. "Don't worry Lu we'll come back soon!" They headed for their rooms to pack their things. Ace looked over at Sabo. "So did you mean what you said? About not getting in the way of Luffy's missions?"

Sabo laughed shaking his head "there's no way Luffy is going anywhere without us knowing. Like I'd agree to something like that! Plus I never promised anything." Ace grinned "good for a second there I was worried you had hit your head or something."

Luffy watched his brothers retreating forms along with Thatch sadly. He looked up when a hand was placed on his head. Marco smiled at the boy. "Don't worry they'll be just fine and will be back in no time, yoi."

Luffy looked down still sad. "This is the first time we've been away from each other is a long time. The only other time was when Sabo's jerk of a dad took him from us." Marco nodded in understanding.

Everyone walked away letting the two have some space. "I know how it feels, you just can't help but worry about them right, yoi?" Luffy nodded "it's not because I think their weak it's just because their my brothers and I…have a bad feeling about this."

Marco sighed turning Luffy to him. He kneeled to his level and wiped away the unknown tears that were falling. "What's wrong Lu, yoi?" Luffy was shocked he touched his cheeks and shook his head frustrated. "I don't know! That's the problem! I know all three of them are super strong and I know nothing bad will happen to them but I just feel sad!"

The first division commander pulled the younger teen into a hug. "Don't worry about anything Luffy! We'll call them every day to make sure nothing bad has happened! So you just go back to being our energetic little brother, yoi!"

Luffy nodded wiping his tears before grinning widely. "Your right! Mama Marco I can't be sad like this! Ace and Sabo will get mad at me for thinking anything bad could happen to them!" Marco nodded ruffling the boy's hair. "Come on let's go get something to eat, yoi." Luffy cheered rushing off to the kitchens.

A day later Ace, Sabo, and Thatch had finally made it to the island. To say they were shocked would be an understatement. The place was in chaos with people screaming and crying. Gun shots could be heard from all over.

The mayor saw the three pirates and ran to them desperately. "Please help our village! The pirates just started attacking! The plan to destroy the whole village!" Sabo nodded reassuringly "don't worry about a thing sir me and my brothers will take care of it."

The group walked forward glares on their face. They came to where the fighting was going on and everything stopped. A man walked forward he sneered. "Who the hell are you three?"

Thatch stepped forward "fourth division commander of the Whitebeard pirates Thatch and these two are the second division commanders Ace and Sabo. We're here to get rid of you lot from causing any more damage to pops territory!"

Ace hand lit on fire. The other two each pull out their weapons and soon the three pirates clashed with the group of weaker pirates. It took almost a whole day before Sabo had finished of the last pirate. The three sighed tiredly. Ace cracked his knuckles. "Damn that was a lot more work than I thought it would be!"

The other two couldn't help but agree. Sabo could see their ship at the docks. "So should we go see if they have anything interesting on their ship?" Thatch nodded "sure why not we could find something valuable."

The three made their way to the ship and started to look through the stuff curiously. Both brothers were brought out of their searching when Thatch called them over. "Hey you two come here and check out what I found!"

They made their way over to the cook and looked at the item questioningly. Sabo looked shocked "is that a devil fruit?" It was a purple grayish looking fruit that had the same shape as the mera mera no mi.

Thatch nodded grinning. "Yep! It's cool isn't it?" Ace was grinning to and nodded "you should eat it Thatch! I bet you'd get something cool!" Thatch laughed shaking his head "I want to find out which one it is first! There's no way I would want to get some stupid power like turning into a giraffe or something! No thank you."

Sabo looked thoughtfully at the fruit. "Well once you find out if you decide you want to sell it or just give it away I'll take it." They both looked at him shocked. Ace looked confused as well. "Why would you want a devil fruit Sabo?"

The blonde shrugged "well you and Luffy both have one so I wouldn't want to mess with the flow of things. Like how Lu bought you a hat so you could fit it." Sabo shrugged again. "Plus what if it's a really cool power! I bet I'd be cooler than you Ace"

The freckled teen rolled his eyes. "There's nothing cooler than being made of fire!" Thatch laughed but nodded. "Alright Sabo if I decide I don't want it you can have it." Sabo grinned happily "thanks Thatch!"

The cook waved it off standing up. "We should hurry up and report to Marco before he gets gray hair." The other two laughed picking up the gold to give to the towns people and made their way off the ship all excited to get home and show off the thing Thatch had found.
