Chapter Twenty-One
Hello Luffy
Rena smiled as she tied Ace's and her ship up. Ace was at the moment getting their things into a couple bags. "Hey Rena!"
Rena turned and caught a blue bag with her things in it. "So Ace you think we will find him?"
"Not sure but I do hope so."
Rena smiled looking down at him "I am hoping we see Luffy. Do you think he will be here soon. We have already been in this country for five days."
Ace looked up and laughed. "Rena you know how Luffy is? If he shows up it will most likely be the last minute."
Rena looked at him and shrugged her shoulder. And started walking off.
"Were are you going?"
"I am going to ask around and maybe shop. I will see you later." She leaned in and kissed him on the lips and took off walking.
Ace smiled 'maybe she is not longer mad at me.' He thought and took off on his own.
Zoro was watching as Nami was talking to Chopper and Usopp who were about to waste a 1000 belli, on a painted apple. He then took noticed of a man asking about Luffy. 'Great this is not good.'
He watched as the man walked right past him.
"Zoro we need to find Luffy and get out of here." Nami said.
"I know." Zoro answered. That was when he noticed the Marine. 'Shit just our Luck.'
"Zoro it is Captain Smoker, what is he doing here?" Nami said pulling them somewhere to hide.
"Hello I was wondering if you seen this man?" He heard a woman infront of them say. Zoro turned and saw a woman with red hair and wearing only a bikini and shorts, boots and a long black cape over her shoulders. She also had a sword on her hip.
"I am sorry Miss. I haven't seen this man." An elderly man said.
"It is alright, thank you for your time." She said and smiled. She turned and saw Zoro and them looking at her.
Zoro watched as she walked over to them.
"Hello." She said smiling at him. "I was wondering if you could help me."
Nami looked at her and smiled "what do you need."
"Well I was wondering if you have seen this guy? He is a pirate with a straw hat."
Nami looked to Zoro, who spoke up. "Haven't seen him." He lied and looked so natural Nami would even believe it. "But if you don't mind my asking your name and why your looking for him. You know in chance I run into him."
"Oh my name is Rena." She said smiling. "He will know who I am." She turned and walked off.
When she was gone Usopp looked to Zoro "Why did you lie to her?"
Zoro turned giving him a look of really.
Nami also looked at Usopp "Do you not read the paper. She is a marine who moved up very fast in the ranks. She is said to be very good at capturing pirates. Though I haven't read anything about her for awhile. But with her and Smoker being here can not be good. Then we have the Whitebeard pirate here we don't want to fight or mess with them." That was when they noticed her walking over to the Whitebeard pirate.
"This will not be good." Zoro said rubbing his temples. He knew a fight would break out and they would all be running sooner or later.
Each one of them was watching were Rena was heading. That was when they saw her walking over to the Whitebeard pirate, both of them were talking. Then they were shocked as they kiss each other on the lips and walk off together.
Usopp rubbed his eyes. "What is the marine and Whitebeard pirate doing together?"
Nami shook her head "I have know idea."
Smoker was walking around the city. He had a feeling that Straw Hat was in the city, even though it was a gut feeling. He needed to check it out. So far in doing so he had come upon four pirate crews.
A marine walked up to him "Captain I just heard there is a commotion going on at the restaurant."
Smoker looked to him, "Pirates?"
"Well no sir… But-"
"We are looking for Pirates." He said walking off checking out a different area.
Smoker keep walking around and wasn't till a little bit later he heard that someone had died in the restaurant. 'I better go and calm down the people.'
Rena walked out of the restroom and noticed everyone had seemed to think that Ace had died only to find out he had fallen asleep. She shook her head about to walk over when she heard him.
"You have some nerve. Eating in a public place like this. Even for a Second Division Commander of the Whitebeard pirates. Hello Portgas D. Ace." Smoker said.
The moment he said this many people started to freak out some even running out of the restaurant. 'Such great tact Smoker haven't changed a bit have you.' She thought making her way to Ace with out Smoker noticing her.
"I am wondering what is a famous, big-shot pirate doing in this country? And all by your self?"
"Smoker, Smoker, Smoker. Ace isn't by himself he is with me too." Rena said sitting next to Ace.
Smoker turned and saw the former Marine he had trained with next to Ace. "Rena how dare you betray the Marine's."
"Smoker I think you got it wrong. The Marine's found out I was a daughter of a big Pirate.. and decided to kill me for that. Ace and Pops saved my life. If it wasn't for them I be dead."
Ace turned around smiling while drinking from his cup. "To answer your question from earlier we are looking for someone. My little brother."
The restaurant was in a stand still.
"So what do you want from us?" Anne asked smiling.
"I would like you to come nice and quietly." Smoker said.
"Smoker you know that isn't happening." Rena said.
Ace looked up, "Well you see I don't plan on coming with you."
Smoker looker at them, "I am here looking for a different pirate."
Rena smiled "Well Smokey why don't you leave. And forget we were even here."
Smoker started to glare at them his arm starting to turn to Smoke. The next thing any of them knew was all of them were sent flying through some walls.
Rena was about to get up when Smoker pushed her back down into the pile of rubble taking after someone one. She got up and noticed that Ace was now running off.
She ran after him hearing the owner yell "You didn't pay."
Rena soon caught up to Ace. "So what's up?"
"It is Luffy Rena. When we get up to him, go with him and his crew. I will be taking care of Smoker."
Rena glared at him, "I can deal with Smoker."
"Yeah but I rather someone be with Luffy."
She glared at him and noticed Luffy running with his crew and Smoker about to grab Luffy. "Ace" She said pointing.
"Heat haze!" He sent a blast of fire at Smokers hand flying at Smoker.
Luffy turned about to be grab by Smoker for Ace to jump in the way defending him.
"You again" Smoker said looking at Ace.
That was when they noticed the red haired girl walking towards them. Luffy's crew was now getting ready for a fight.
Ace smirked "Just give it up Smoker. While you may have the power of smoke, mine is fire. A fight between two of us, would be pointless. It would probably go on forever."
"And that is were I come in." Rena said walking to stand next to Smoker. She held up her hand holding a fist of water. "You and Ace would be a tie Smoker. But fighting Ace, and me. You would lose."
Zoro looked at the two people "Alright the mystery man has devil fruit, and so does the marine girl."
Usopp looked back, "Who is he, anyways?! And Her too?! And why are they helping us?!"
"Is that you Ace?! Rena?!"
"You haven't changed a bit, Luffy." Ace said smiling.
Rena looked back "Hey Lu, seems you got a little bit taller." She said smiling.
"Ace?! Rena?! It is you. You both ate Devil Fruit?!"
Rena smirked "yeah by mistake I ate the water-water Fruit." She said smiling.
Ace smirked "Yep! The Flame-Flame fruit!" He noticed the Marines trying to create a perimeter around them and gave off a smile. "Anyway , now is not the time for chat. You guys get out of here. Don't worry we'll catch up. Don't worry about these guys."
"We can take care of them with ease." Rena said smiling.
Ace turned to Rena "Why don't you go with Luffy."
"And leave you to the fun fight to your self. Never."
Smoker looked at the two of them "There is one thing I don't get. Why are you helping the Straw Hat?!"
Rena smiled, about to say something. But Ace ended up speaking first. "Can't a guy help out his bungling kid brother. Rena go after Luffy."
Rena nodded and took off running.
Smoker looked at him "Kid brother interesting. So what is with you and Rena."
"She is my girl friend. We grew up together and well we separated I a pirate and her a marine. When you all tried to kill her, so I saved her." Ace looked at Smoker for flames were flickering off his body. "So why wouldn't I help them both out even you should know that Smoker."
"Oh, please. How loving. Move it." He did not know the truth about Rena but planned to get ahold of Garp to find out.
Nami was running with the crew "Hold up Luffy tell us who those two are?"
Vivi looked up "Do you know him or something?"
Luffy gave off his normal D smile and looked back at them. "Heh! Yeah. They are my Older brother and Sister!" He said while running.
By then Ace was standing in an inferno of fire and they yelled out. "Brother?! Sister?!"
Rena by then was jumping from roof to roof following them. She noticed the Crew had split from Luffy with out knowing they went down a different street. She looked and took off after Luffy knowing the trouble he got into. And he was the only one with a bounty.
It did not take long for Luffy to look around and notice his crew was no were to be seen. She had watched as he paid more mind onto Ace's little show than were he was going.
"Hello little bro." She jumped down next to him.
Luffy smiled "RENA!" He jumped and wrapped himself around her giving her a hug.
Rena smiled and quickly got freed and gave him a hug. "How have you been?" She asked smiling.
"Good what about you.. And what happen with being a Marine."
"Do you read the papers?"
"Yes…. No Makino told me what happen. But I wanted to know it first hand."
Rena looked at him. "I will tell you once we get you to your crew. Come on."
"I guess there was no point giving Luffy a head start." Ace said jumping down.
Rena rolled her eyes as they had a arm wrestle. "So do you remember the time you both tripped and fell into the gator stream."
Rena looked at Luffy "That was you and I saved you."
Luffy and Ace ended up in a stall mate.
She smiled seeing them getting caught up. Truth was they were only missing one person. She held her arm were she had gotten a tattoo earlier to represent Sabo. She walked over smiling, "Come on we should get you back to your crew."
Luffy smiled looking at them. "So you guys seem just the same. Well besides you have devil fruits now."
"Well besides being taller your just the same too." Rena said.
Ace was pulling out a Canteen.
"So what are you doing here in this country?" Luffy Asked.
"Huh? You mean you didn't get the message I sent to you at Drum island?"
"Message?"
Rena shook her head "no big dead."
"Yeah we still meet up. Don't worry. It was to let you know we be here in Alabasta for a few days on business."
"What?" Luffy said.
"Were members of the Whitebeard Pirates now. Here you go." He tossed Luffy his water.
"Whitebeard Pirates?"
Rena smiled as Ace showed off his pride his tattoo of Pops symbol.
Ace looked at Luffy "So why don't you and your friends come join. The crew is amazing."
"No can do."
"That is to bad because he is the greatest pirate I have ever met."
Rena rolled her eyes. "Come on lets get Luffy to his ship. And Ace I won the bet." Ace looked at her and kissed her on the cheek. "Come on do I have to pay."
Rena smirked "I told you he would not join."
"Fine." He handed over a few belli to her.
Luffy laughed and noticed the kiss. "Whats up with the kiss?"
Rena smiled "Were dating now."
"Wow about time."
Both the older pirates about fell over because how clueless there brother is to say that meant they were bad.
They took off walking to there ship as Luffy told them about his crew. As they talked they had people try and attack them more than once. Only for them to all be weak.
"So were is your ship Luffy?" Ace Asked looking out at the ocean.
"Over there!" Luffy was soon gone.
Rena sighed and Ace Laughed. "Well I guess we can just take our ships over there."
Rena smiled already getting to her ship. "Way ahead of you."
Luffy was laughing as he landed on his ship and noticed Ace and Rena weren't with him "Were is Ace and Rena?!"
Zoro looked at Luffy "So you were with your Siblings?"
"Yeah."
Sanji looked at him "So you left them."
Usopp looked at him "Wait a minute you didn't just leave them did you?"
"I guess they'll be okay! Rena and Ace is strong!"
Chopper looked to Luffy "So how strong are they?"
Luffy looked up "Well let me put it to you like this. When we were younger I was never able to beat Ace. Rena I could get close to.. But if she used her sword I couldn't lay a finger on her. Then when she was older I couldn't even touch her even when she didn't have her sword. And that was before they got their devil fruits. I bet I could beat them now. To this day I still never Beat Ace in a single fight! That is how strong they are!"
Nami pointed at him, "You mean there's a flesh-and-blood- person you could never beat?!"
Usopp shook his head. "I guess the older siblings of a monster is an even bigger monster."
"I guess so. I lost all the time. Ace and Rena used to beat me up all the time. But I beat I could kick there butt now." Luffy said laughing.
Zoro smirked "I like to see you try?"
That moment Ace jumped up on the ship and kicked Luffy in the back of the head. "So exactly who's butt are you going to kick." And landed on the railing of the ship.
Rena then landed on Luffy's back and walked off. "I don't know Ace but I know it is not me. Maybe he is talking about you. Because I know he can't be me."
"No I think it be you first." Ace said looking at her.
"Oh hey Ace Rena. This is my crew I told you about" Luffy said smiling.
Rena and Ace smiled and bowed "Hello. Thank you for taking care of our kid brother."
The next ten minutes was spent with everyone surprised how different the siblings all were.
That moment Sanji walked over to Rena, "My Darling Rena your beauty does not compare. I can not believe you are siblings to Luffy."
Rena giggled and felt heat coming off of Ace. "Sorry Sanji but I am spoken for."
That moment Ace walked over and pulled her away from Sanji and into his arms.
Rena smiled "Ace don't worry about me you know I only have eyes for you." She said and kissed him on the lips. Making the Strawhat pirates all gag well except for Luffy. When they broke the kiss and Rena saw the looks on their faces she started to laugh. "I bet Luffy didn't tell you about me."
"My father is Shanks and mother is Makino. I grew up in the same village as Luffy. I ended up seeing him as a younger brother. Some things happen and I ended up growing up with Luffy and Ace. So Luffy asked me to be his older sister. We are brother and Sister in all but blood."
"Hey Rena." Ace said making them noticed the billions ships.
Rena went to the edge of the ship. "I have half you can have the other."
"I was going to deal with them."
"So what. You can't leave me with nothing?"
Ace looked to her, "You can handle the next problem."
Rena sighed, "Fine."
Usopp looked at Luffy, "He is going to take them all alone. And especially in that small boats."
"Yep." Luffy.
"Your family is crazy."
Zoro nodded "I wouldn't worry about him. They don't let anyone become a Whitebeard pirate. And second commander at that. Let's see how skilled he is."
That moment they watched as Ace speed forward and was able to jump over all the ships. His ship had went under water and he landed back on his ship as it appeared out of water. And turned looking at all the ships. "FIRE-FIST!" He destroyed all the ships.
Rena was sitting with Vivi and Nami in the kitchen. "So weren't you a Marine?"
"Yeah I was. Ace and I left three years ago. He to be a pirate, and me a Marine."
Vivi looked at her. "Why did you leave?"
"I didn't leave I was betrayed by the Marines. I had gotten to the rank of Captain. Then it was found out I am the daughter of Red Haired Shanks. They had found out I also was old friends with Ace. Who been rising high in the world as a well known Pirate Captain of the spade pirates. That was when they called me to a base. I didn't know what for. But when I got there I was trapped they torotured me for info on the pirates. Which I didn't know anything. They planed to kill me to lead my father into a trap. That was when Ace, Marco and Whitebeard raided the base. They saved my life. So I could no longer be a Marine. I joined Pops crew because by then Ace was a Whitebeard pirate. And I cared for him."
Nami smirked "I bet you loved him."
Rena blushed. "Yes indeed I love Ace. So when Teach who is Blackbeard Killed some men and hurt another Commander, and me then he jumped ship. Since then Ace has been looking for him."
Vivi held her fist. "That is wrong what the Marines did. No one should be judged by what there parents do. Each person should be able to live their own life."
Rena smiled "you will make a great ruler one day."
"Why did you become a Marine when your dad and everyone else are pirates?" Nami asked smiling.
"Well you see Luffy's Gramps is a Marine a good one too. When I was little some people found out who my is dad was they kidnapped me and taken me to use me against him. And Gramps came and saved me twice. When that happen I wanted to be able to save others. But I here I am." She smiled got up. "I am going to go and see Ace."
