i grew attached to the ASL pirates from 'young and built to fall' and knowing their luck, they'd end up here.
they don't know what they're doing here. one minute samson's yelling about avoiding a reef and the next they're back in the east blue. which is impossible given that they had just crossed reverse mountain nine months ago, eleven months after they had dropped off those crazy brothers they had called captains.
johnson looks over at their navigator and the man is staring at the spinning pin of his log pose.
'whats the verdict.'
samson grumbles as he digs through his bag for a compass, one that hasn't been touched in ages, 'id say, its some weird grandline mystery.'
'did anyone talk to someone weird at the last island, maybe a devil fruit user,' johnson addresses the crew.
they all murmur in denial, they had only gone to restock at their last stop, and there was very little time in between to talk to the locals.
'captain, you don't think that they're..'
jack's question swirls in his head. johnson doesnt know which would be better, if these kids actually are their namesake or if its just a coincidence. he really doesn't know, even if the crew misses the crazy bastards.
but the one thing that doesn't add up is how small the brats are, they looked about 10 years younger than they remember. and not to mention, there's three of them.
samson nudges the captain out of his thoughts, this really is some weird grand line magic.
'alright, strange question but y'alls name wouldnt be ace and luffy? cause if not this is just some crazy coincidence.'
ace crouched and snarled at the pirates, 'whats it to you.'
samson groaned, 'oh my seas, it is them.'
