this has been sitting in my drafts.


'no grandson of mine be a marine!'

'im a girl!'

'no granddaughter of mine will be a marine!'


ace stared defiantly at his grandfather.

'keep making that face and it'll freeze that way. whats your problem, brat?'

'im a boy now!'

garp looked up from his reading, 'so?'

'just letting you know, shitty old man.'

'call me grandpa, you brat of a grandson!'


'sabo, this is gramps.'

luffy jumped in place no longer able to control her energy.

'gramps, look its sabo, the one ive been telling you about!!'

ace wanted to be surprised at luffy's words but he was well aware of the girl's inability to keep things to herself.

sabo fidgeted, eyes glancing everywhere but the (former) marine hero.

ace nudged him, 'don't worry, gramps... wont hurt you. at least not in a mean way.'

'his fist of love hurts!,' luffy whined.

'what was that brat!'

luffy ran behind sabo for cover, 'nothing!'

'nice to meet you, shitty old man,' sabo beamed, taking the man's gaze off luffy.

'my grandchildren keep multiplying,' garp sighed.
