Birds chirped happily ,the sun was up and the sunny lulled happily along the waves of the ocean , a peaceful environment which was as usual cut short by a yell of

"HUNGRY!!!!SANJI FOOD!!!"

A rather loud yell rang out from sunny's deck causing the navigator to huff out a sigh ,'yeah sure like there could ever be a peaceful movement with that ball of energy',cursing the captain yet again she opened the door with a click and bumped a fist on the very hungry idiot .

"LUffy can't you see that we are sleeping it's only 6 in the morning!!"the navigator shouted as usual..after all it was part of her daily routine.

"Ara! navigator-san you might want to go easy on the captain. What if he fell in the ocean and drown to its depth or-"

"Robin stop with those words of yours!!!" shouted Ussop and chopper.

"fufufufu" laughing behind her hand the archeologist made her way to the kitchen where a particular blond had made sure that the morning tea and coffee for his ladies were surely ready, and the morning cola for the cyborg.

"ohayoo!! Nami-swaaan , Robin-chwaaan..." rang out the blond's voice

"Breakfast's ready my ladies, and you shitty idiots line up for the breakfast "

"Ohayo Nami-san, Robin-san, such a lovely morning it is, the mood is good so if I may see your pant-"

"Shutup you damn skeleton" a kick followed soon after on the head of the musician.

Sighing yet again at the crew's behaviour the navigator followed after the archealogist and soon the captain followed who was apparently was shoved at the side by the cook's feet.

"MEAT!!!"the shout followed and soon the galley filled with the crew though the cook's eye followed everyone (he liked to marvell at his crew's faces when they were having the food he made )and his gaze lingered on his captain a bit longer and then resumed the eyefollow routine, his curly eyebrow twitched when he couldn't find a certain mosshead yet again. Making his way outside the galley's door, he marveled at the sight of ocean for few seconds and then went on his search of a certain marimo which was definately and practically sleeping on his precious Nami-swan's Mikan orchards 'That damn bastard'. Cursing slightly he went to gave the swordsman much needed kick which was as expected stopped by the said man. Scowling Zoro opened his only eye to watch the cook in front of him glaring rather hard on him .

"What?!" the only word that made sense at the moment.

Arguing within his own mind about what to do with the oblivious marimo he sighed yet again and backed his leg and lighted up the cigarette dangling from his lips. Sensing the cook's change in demeanor the swordsman now fully awaken stands up and curiously eyed the following blond..

"What?!"Sanji shouted being fed up by being stared at..

Zoro sighed

"What do you wanna ask cook? Say it fast I don't have time for your crap!"

Startled by the sudden question, the man cleared his thought cursing his own self for being caught..He wanted to know about well..

"Well...,about Luffy, any progress?"

"Nope, that damn idiot doesn't wanna open his tongue."

"ah.."

Both stared at the ocean and sighed at the exact same time ..Suddenly remembering about the food ,both looked at each other and sighed yet again

"ofcourse , he ain't gonna open his damn mouth ,that shitty captain"

Cursing slightly,Sanji turned and went towards gallery.

Noticing that the swordsman didn't follow him his eyebrows twitched,

"Food ain't gonna be left for you damn marimo"

Growling towards cook the green haired man followed the blond..


"Ah!!! Nami, we are gonna land !!!!!!!!!"

Luffy shouted and started streching his arms to get to the island faster and before his navigator arrived, which she did

'Speak of the devil' Luffy thought as he was yet again punched in his head

"HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I TOLD YOU NOT TO DO THAT?!!"

Punching the poor boy yet again ,Nami gave the crew much needed instructions.

Anchoring the boat to the shore of the village beach , the crew one by one departed from the ship..

The land was sandy and from the land the crew could see the outline of the town at a distance, it wasn't much of a big town but surely it was a enough for the stocking of supplies and other thing.

"So whose gonna stay on watch?"

Nami rested her hands on her waist and fixed everyone with a look

"I can't , wanna go to swordsmith" Zoro said already stepping forward

"oi oi ! wait a minute you idiot, where do you think you are going huh? Whose gonna haul your marimo ass back when you get lost huh?!"

"Huh i didn't hear ya cook ? Wanna repeat that again?!"

Eye twitching as another argument of the day yet again followed ,Nami punched the two idiots again for who knows how many times a day 10?no 12?ughhhh!! It was getting frustrating!

Looking Nami getting frustrated Ussop and chopper started sweating bullets!

'she's scary!'

Sighing , Nami let go of the idiots and started dividing the money into each member's share. This time all of the members needed money and wanted to go to the island and stock up the necessary things. Glancing at the town, she felt something weird, call it a gut feeling or whatever you want

"Oi Nami! Do it fast would you? I wanna go explore!"

Luffy's voice bought her out of her musings.

"Hai,Hai!"

Shrugging the feeling she distributed the money ofcourse keeping the big share with her.

"Listen guys , the town is small so I think, Franky should stay here for the time being and he could repair Sunny's damage , in the meanwhile --"

"GUM GUM NO-"

hearing the enthusiastic yell the crew's eyes widened

"OI LUF-"

and before they could have stop the captain , he took off

"ROCKETTTTT!!!!!"

the sound echoed throughout the town.

"UGHHHHHH! That idiot!"


"10 hours ago"

(At some island )


"ugh" Ace groaned, punching yet another thug who tried to slice him despite knowing there was no chance for him to even sneak up on the fireboy , though the man was gutsy enough that was for sure.

Ace was tired of these shits. Sure he had grown stronger physically and mentally in the two past years, well with the fantastic incidents of his life in the past years surely he would have been immune to the insane surroundings.

But Ace beg to differ,he was so not immune to his hectic surrounding even though he watched his own little brother, rampaging through the impel down and then causing a havoc in the marineford and Oh! even though he just a year ago found out that his stupid other idiot brother was alive! Fucking alive, standing before him smiling that same cheeky annoying smile of his 'oh wait not same, his missing tooth grew up didn't it?'

He still remembers that day and why wouldn't he? That was the day he punched the living daylights of that bastard and that was the day he felt truly alive after the war..

It was like everything was in pieces and Ace was happy! Happy that his first friend ever was alive,happy that his family was there for him , happy that his little brother was in good hands and happy because now he knew, that he deserved to live and even though he blamed himself for the war he was happy that,

that..

his family accepted him even though he had demon's blood in his veins.

But...this happiness lasted until he remembered her. How? You ask?Well aside from the fact that he suddenly was getting nightmares in the night about that day , does he remembered that, no he wasn't fully recovered from that horrible incident.

It suddenly just happened, and he remembered that there was still an empty space in his heart that had always been reserved for her.

'You are you, stop being an idiot Ace!'

That's what she always said to him.He still remembers her sweet voice ,if it was in his hands he would have somehow turn the clock and would have stole her and kept her safe from the world's cruelty.

He felt selfish for being happy without her but she wouldn't have it another way ,that's what he always told himself.

He sighed,'No point, she wouldn't have wanted you to weep like an baby'

He kicked the last one of the thugs and wiped the sweat of his brows,

"Huh that's what ya got ya punks, idiots" sighing rather loudly,as his stomach rumbled he went toward the local bar ignoring the terrified looks and whispers around him where his brothers would be waiting for him.

As soon he reached the bar he was granted with an so not amused gaze of the first commander and the quite wiggling eyebrows of the fourth commander, 'seriously, motherhen'

Rolling his eyes at his worried brothers he made his way towards the front of the bar,ordering the drink while doing so as the other two following him and plopping down beside him.

"Not again Ace!"

"What?!they started it" Ace pouted,and look at his other brother who was now laughing at his excuse.

"seriously, yoi?!"Marco just lifted an unamused brow ,as Thatch added another round of laughter to the question .

"Fine, Alright it was my fault ok, happy"Ace grumbled and drank his drink in one go meanwhile mumbling something along the lines of stupid motherhen and an breadhair idiot.

Marco smiled slightly looking at the second commander's childish tantrum, though it didn't stayed long after he remembered the reason they came here. Sensing the sudden change in demeanor of the commander Thatch stopped his laughing fits and Ace back stiffened.

Ace had an idea what the sudden shift was about, though he didn't wanna talk about it.

"Ace,yoi?"

"yes?"

"Did, something happened?"Thatch sighed at his brothers blunt question

"N-no" and sighed again listening to his other brothers attempt to lie

"Seriously Ace how can you hide things from your brother?That's not fair, tell us what's bothering you. That's what brothers are for" Whining rather dramatically ,Thatch put his hands on his little brother's shoulder suddenly wiping his fake tears with an tissue god knows where he got from.

Ace laughed at his brother's attempt of loosening the tension, seriously Thatch was such a dramatic idiot. When Ace got the news that this idiot survived that blow he was so happy.

Afterall Ace needed an another luffy to keep him on his tracks.

He sighed and smiled happily

"Seriously what's wrong with you both, I told you I'm fi--

and suddenly a thump was heard and Marco sighed yet again and look at Thatch who still was busy wiping hi fake tears.

"Thatch yoi?"

looking up from his dramatic performance Thatch smiled nervously looking at his brothers unamused glance and sighed

"I'm just worried okay! His narcolepsy fits are getting more and more each days."

"Yeah!That's because he isn't able to sleep at night properly"

And that was the reason why they were in the town in the first place, it happened last night ,Ace was screaming for help in his sleep, he was pale and was sweating rather hard. When he told his oyaji he gave them the permission to tour the next island to clear up the mind hoping the boy would open up. It hurted Marco that the boy still couldn't open up to them as they only a year ago knew that the brat had another brother in his family group especially, who was supposed to be rather dead but was alive working as and chief commander of revolutionary's.

'What a group of brothers they are'he thought.

Glancing at the boy his eyes softened, 'how much have you gone through Ace?!'

Seriously the boy had gone through so much.

"He's a tough idiot isn't it "

Thatch's voice brought him out of his musings

"That...he is"

Smiling softly he picked up the fireboy and made his way out of the bar after paying the bill.

It was night time and they were late..

And suddenly he felt something that made him freeze, call it his instincts .He looked at his side to make sure Thatch was alright, though he seemed to be frozen ,looking straight ahead at something .

Marco followed Thatch's gaze and there stands a cloaked figure walking towards them , to them it felt like slow motion as the figure came closer and closer and brushed passed his shoulder and suddenly they can breath.

Marco let out a breath he didn't know he was holding and looked at his shoulder to find his little brother sleeping soundly.

"That was scary!!!"Thatch shrieked and looked behind as if there was someone waiting to rip him into pieces. Wiping his sweat of his brows his phoenix instincts increased

"Thatch, let's go yoi, I don't feel good"

Nodding his head rather fast Thatch made his way forward knowing that Marco's instincts are mostly never wrong.

Glancing back once again to find no one there even as going as far to unlock his observation haki , when he found no one did he let out a sigh of relief and followed after Thatch readjusting Ace on his shoulder while doing so.


A hooded figure looked beneath from the roof she perched on

"Huh, so that's where you were, Ace"

Smirking under the hooded cloak while shining in the moonlight, the hooded figure made a jump towards opposite side of where the figures were headed and made her way into the forest clearly amused of the situation.

"One found , 2 more to go"
