Like A Boy

Chapter 19 Don't Touch

Youko sat on the main part of the Striker. Ace had the sails down so that the wind could carry them along. The girl was going through one of the books she had brought with her. Ace was clearly bored. Even though they were on their way to the next island, they still had the journey to get there.

"AHH~ Youko why are you always reading those books, I'm hungry!" Ace complained. It was getting annoying.

"Mo, Ace would you shut up?" the girl asked. "I'm reading because I'm bored and I am not going down there and getting you a damn fish."

"If I 'fall' in?" Ace challenged.

"I'm not saving your ass." Youko stated clearly. Ace booed but something caught his attention.

Ace quickly picked Youko up and put her in the back of the Striker. He raised the sails and instantly shot the Striker in a certain direction. Youko gripped the mast quickly as Ace sped towards what looked like a pirate ship.

"Oh my Kami-sama Ace, what the hell are you doing!" Youko called over the wind.

"They're having a party." Ace said with a smile.

"How the hell can you tell?" Youko asked. The pirate ship looked like a circus.

"I smell food." Ace said with a grin.

"Of course." Youko mumbled with a sigh.

"Captain, Mugiwara no Luffy has become even more famous." A man with white, animal like hair said to a red nosed man. The man looked at him with a grin.

"Exactly." The man said making his other commander confused. "Have you guys ever heard of witches?"

The two commanders looked at each other and then at the man. "They fatten us children before eating them. The higher Mugiwara's bounty gets, the more famous we'll be when we take him down!" Buggy said making his crew cheer. This started the party.

"But how are you going to find them?" a woman with long black hair asked.

"If you guys are looking for Luffy, I can tell you where he is."

"See this guy can tell us where he is…" buggy said before turning to Ace and Youko who were helping themselves to their food. "WHO THE FLASHY HELL ARE YOU!"

Ace stood up and bowed. "Sorry, I was attracted by the smell of food and came here." He said politely.

"I just followed." Youko said taking a bite of food.

"Sorry for interrupting your party." Ace said once again. Buggy bowed as well to be polite.

"Nah, no it's okay… WHO THE HELL ARE YOU!" buggy yelled once again putting his face into Ace's

"C-captain Buggy, that's…" Cabaji stated. Buggy looked at him. "That's Hiken no Ace, of the Whitebeard pirate crew."

"You know the old man that's ZZZZ" Ace began.

"HE FELL ASLEEP!" the crew looked at the man shocked while Youko just laughed.

"And that's the Ocean Princess, Youko!" Mohji said indicating Youko who was ignoring them and watching Ace sleep.

"Captain, this is our chance. If we take them down, we'll become famous practically overnight. We can't let this chance slip up." Cabaji said trying to convince his captain to allow them to capture the two pirates who weren't paying attention to them.

"NO." Buggy said sternly looking at his men. "Whitebeard is not the kind of man who will let the death of his nakama go unheard. If we take these two down, we will have the World's Strongest Man after us." Buggy looked at his crew sweating slightly.

"You seem to know a lot about this man." Alvida said looking at the man she had teamed up with. Buggy nodded.

"I've met him, Edward Newgate aka Whitebeard. He is a monster among monsters." Buggy said once again.

"So you do know the old man." Ace said continuing to eat.

"WHEN DID YOU WAKE UP!"

Ace stood up and started to move from foot to foot. "Oi isn't this a party, why aren't you having fun!" he asked and Youko began to laugh.

"Ah, you're right. ALRIGHT MEN, LET'S HAVE A FLASHY PARTY!" Buggy hollered at his crew and they cheered.

"Oi, you guys have a lion?" Ace asked. He then created a ring of fire. "Jump through the ring!"

"Show him what you can do Ritchie." Mohji ordered the lion. It jumped through the fire but Ace hadn't made it big enough and the lion got burned.

"Ouch."


Okay the reason this is so short was because I forgot about this little part and decided to add it in for the hell of it. After this the chapters will be around their normal length. I plan on making htem go to different islands and having all sorts of things happen depending on the island that they go to. Kinda like how Luffy and the crew do but with just the two of them. Again, I apologize for this being so short and all. I hope you liked this and the next chapter will be out asap.
