King of the Ocean, Queen of the Sky
Chapter III: Bandit Daycare
Today Luffy strolled down to Windmill village and visit Makino for the day, that was something he and his brothers usually did once a week, though this time around their dynamic had been upheaved by Garp in the most unexpected way.
Last year Garp showed up at Dadan's place with another kid. When Luffy initially felt an additional voice alongside Garp he thought it was Nami but he was surprised when the door opened and revealed Garp with none other than a fourteen-year-old, Trafalgar Law.
"Alright Dadan, got another one for ya' since you're doing a great job with my Grandsons."
"ARE YOU KIDDING ME GARP!? WE CANNOT TAKE IN ANOTHER BRAT!"
"Now, Now Dadan… I told my friend that I would take in his grandson and shape him into a splendid marine. Law, introduce yourself to everyone." Law looked rather uncomfortable with Garp's large hand around his arm.
"…" Law was silent as he could not believe the situation he was in. A year ago, he had witnessed his savior, Corazon, gunned down in cold blood, and a week later he had been picked up by none other than Admiral Sengoku who arrived to investigate his adopted son's reasoning for being on Minion Island.
"YO!" Luffy shouted waving at Law catching the older boy off guard.
"Oh, there you are Luffy." Garp noticed his grandson. "I'd like you to meet Law."
"Hi ya Law! Let's be pirates together!" Luffy called out carelessly which received him a bonk from his grandfather.
"You'll be a pirate over my dead body brat!"
Over the last year Law had kept mostly to himself though Luffy kept inserting himself into Law's daily routine insisting the older boy join his pirate crew. Eventually Law was pulled into Luffy's gravity forming a friendship with the younger boy, though he continued to refuse Luffy's demands of him joining his future pirate crew.
"What do you guys think Makino has for us to eat today?" Luffy asked his brothers and Law. "I hope it's meat!"
"Don't know Luffy, though I don't think you have to worry about her running out of meat." Ace replied with a grin.
"All you two ever do is eat." Sabo commented
"They're just voracious black holes when it comes to Food." Law added.
"Not true!" Luffy and Ace argued back.
"My mistake; all you do is eat, sleep and fight." Law corrected Sabo though it only seemed to irritate Ace and Luffy more.
The quartet arrived in Foosha village only to find a commotion going on just outside the market. In that moment Luffy felt a familiar presence in the village one he hadn't felt in two years.
"Hey a ship has arrived at the docks."
"Pirate?"
"No, there was only a little girl. She's with the Harbor Master right now." This gained Luffy's attention. Without warning Luffy rushed towards the docks following the voice he heard.
"Hey Luffy wait up!" Ace called out to his brother.
"What's got him so worked up?" Sabo asked
"Who knows." Law commented before the two brothers chased after Luffy with Law leisurely following them from a distance.
Sure enough, there was a little girl hanging over the side of the boat. Nobody knew who she was or where she came from, but Luffy knew. This girl was Nami. "Nami!" Luffy called out happily causing her to wake up.
"Luffy!" She called back equally happy as she embraced her friend for the first time in god knows how long thanks to all this time travel.
"Luffy you know this girl?" the mayor inquired.
"Yeah this is Nami she's my friend." Luffy replied with his trademark grin.
"It's nice to meet you all." Nami replied with a smile of her own.
"This is so cute! Our little brother has a girlfriend" Ace said as he and Sabo arrived on the scene. Once again Nami had a deep red blush on her face while Luffy looked at Ace with confusion plastered on his face.
"Yeah! This is Nami! What's so hard for you guys to get?" Luffy asked as he tilted his head and crossed his arms. "Are you guys stupid or something?"
Nami slapped her palm against her face at her captain's stupidity how the hell could he not know what a girlfriend was when they met Ace in that white world he seemed to get it.
"He means the other kind of girlfriend Luffy." Law responded arriving on the scene.
"WHAT!?" Nami looked at Law shocked to see him here. "What are you doing her!?"
Nami's question caught Law's attention since it seemed like she already knew who he was but was not expecting to see him. "I've been living here for about a year now." Law decided to play along with Nami's question. "I could ask you the same question."
"I still don't get why you guys called Nami my girlfriend?" Luffy asked his two older brothers.
"You see Luffy, when a guy and a girl like each other a lot-" BONK Sabo was cut off when Nami bonked him on the head.
"DON'T SAY IT LIKE THAT!"
"Geeze…" Law, Ace and Luffy sweated while Sabo nursed the bruise on his head. "Girls are scary."
"NO! WE'RE NOT!" She roared at them making the boys cower.
Though maybe he was playing stupid so he wouldn't draw too much attention, gotta give him credit for being smarter than he lets on. "Any way we have a lot of catching up to do Luffy, let's go somewhere more private." She told him as she grabbed his wrist and ran into town.
"Where are we going?" Luffy asked as they left the three older boys in the dust.
Both kids went to Makino's Bar and told each other what had happened to each other since they returned.
Two Years Ago
Dawn Island
Mt. Colubo behind Windmill Village
For Monkey D. Luffy, being dragged through the forest by his insane Grandfather, Monkey D. Garp, would be considered normal bonding time for them, however this time Garp was taking Luffy to Dadan and her mountain Bandits as well as Luffy's future Brother Ace and eventually Sabo.
"Come on Gramps!" Luffy shouted as Garp dragged him up the mountain. "Stop pulling my face! I said I'd go with you!"
"Doesn't matter if you agreed or not." Garp fired back. "I've decided that you and Ace are going to be strong Marines."
"I told you I refuse!" Luffy argued back. "I mean I refuse the Marine part. I'm gonna be Pirate King some day!"
"Well I refuse your refusal!" The Vice Admiral was acting no better than a petulant child. "First you eat a useless Devil Fruit and now you're spouting nonsense about being a Pirate. A few days with Dadan ought to straighten you out."
"I don't see how a Bandit will convince me to be a marine…" Luffy grumbled which received him a bump on the head from Garp.
They arrived at the house and Garp vigorously knocked on the door. "Dadan! Get yer ass out here!"
Dadan and her minions, Dorga and Magra opened the door and stood before Garp. "Geeze Garp give us a break will yeah, I know Ace's only ten but he's a real pain in the ass."
"Please take 'im!" Dogra begged.
"Wait a minute…" Dadan noticed Luffy in Garps hand. "DON'T TELL ME YOU'RE DROPPING OFF ANOTHER ONE?!"
"This is Luffy, say 'hi' Luffy."
"Yo!" Luffy waved despite his predicament
"THERE'S NO WAY IN HELL I'M TAKING CARE OF YOUR OWN GRANDSON GARP!"
"That's fine with me." Garp Laughed. "So I guess you're ok with me hauling you off to jail?"
"Now, now, Garp" Dadan's demeanor changed completely. "I think you misheard me. I said 'we'd love to take care of your grandson.'" Dogra and Magra didn't look all that happy.
"Guess I just misheard you earlier." The Vice Admiral bellowed. "Well, that settles it!"
Meanwhile Luffy was looking around when he sensed an incoming projectile. "Whoa!" Luffy ducked out of the way just as a chunk of phlegm zoomed through where his head was. "Whew, that was close."
"Oh, it's Ace." Garp said as he turned to his other Grandson. The Bandits seemed more shocked than happy.
"Ace! Hi Ace!" Luffy cried out happily. The black haired boy just looked at Luffy with an expression of displeasure and a bit of surprise that this kid knew who he was.
"I see you've met Ace." Garp said standing behind Luffy. "He's three years older than you. You two will be living together from now on, so get a long."
After an orientation day that, for Luffy, didn't really change much, Ace left the house to go to his usual spot, only this time Luffy chased after Ace the moment he left Dadan's house. He chased Ace despite the boy's best efforts to deter and ditch him until they came to a rope bridge spanning a chasm.
"OI! Ace!" Luffy called out from the other side of the gorge. Ace stopped and turned to the boy that was following him a scowl was etched across his face. "WAIT FOR ME!" Gripping his pole tightly ace strode towards Luffy. "Uh oh…" Luffy said as his future brother charged him.
Ace swung his pipe but Luffy ducked out of the way and instinctively delivered a spinning kick to Ace's head, knocking the shocked boy off the bridge.
"OH NO!" Luffy cried out as he watched Ace fall down the gorge. "HANG ON ACE!" Seeing his brother in danger Luffy dived off after him.
Later that evening Dadan and the Bandits wondered where Ace and Luffy were.
"They're still missing Dadan." Dogra said to his boss. "Don'cha think we should go and look for 'em?"
"Leave 'em. If they're dead then there's nothing left for us to do about it."
"But what about Garp?" Magra asked "He'll kill us when he finds out!"
"We'll just tell 'im it was an accident and that would be that." Dadan said as she took a sip of Sake.
"BOSS!" Dadan and her cohorts turned to see a bandit enter the house "THOSE KIDS! THEY'RE BACK!" Luffy and Ace stood at the entrance to the House. Luffy looked perfectly fine while Ace was a little more worse for wear covered in multiple bruises, scratches and patches of dry blood.
"WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO YOU BRATS!?" Dadan demanded. "AND HOW THE HELL ARE YOU STILL ALIVE!?"
"Ace fell down a giant chasm and I went to save him." Luffy said. "Then we got chased by wolves but I scared them off! Shishishishi!" Luffy was laughing at the situation while Ace grumbled and headed off for bed.
The Next day Ace woke up early but so did Luffy and much to Ace's displeasure the young boy was still following him.
Knowing Luffy wouldn't stop, Ace led the boy to a large tiger's cave and left when the Tiger came out he took off, leaving Luffy to face the beast alone. Not even a minute later Luffy was back on the hunt for Ace and when the older boy peaked from around a tree he couldn't believe his eyes. There was Luffy, again perfectly fine and riding on the tiger's head, the Tiger was now sporting three large bumps on it's noggin.
"Come on Tiger, Ace is around here somewhere." Luffy spoke to the tiger.
Ace was shocked, again this kid was following him and this time he had tamed a tiger even Ace would avoid. Without saying a word Ace took off for the Grey Terminal. Luffy arrived at the Garbage Dump shortly after Ace. From here on out Luffy let the events prior to the Porchemy Incident play out almost exactly as they did originally. If he didn't then there would be no reason for Ace or Sabo to trust him.
"What is with this kid?" One of the pirates asked. "None of our blows are working and out blades cannot cut him."
"This torture sessions turning out to be pretty boring." another pirate mumbled.
"Last Chance brat." Porchemy put on his spiked gloves. "If you don't tell us we'll just kill you."
Luffy rolled his eyes. "As if you can kill me. I'm going to be the Pirate King one day!" The Other Pirates just laughed at him but Luffy didn't care.
Porchemy towered over the suspended Luffy. "Where's Ace and the other Brat?" Luffy refused to talk."Fine." He cocked back and went to punch Luffy, but Luffy hardened his face at the last minute causing the pirate to break his knuckles on Luffy's face. "ARGH!" Porchemy yelled in pain as he clutched his broken hand.
Luffy looked up at the pirates and grinned. "Shishishishi! I told you. I won't say anything." Luffy knew Ace and Sabo were close by and he knew they could hear him.
"What the hell is this brat?" The pirates questioned.
"STOP IT!" Ace and Sabo broke through the outer wall and assaulted the Pirates with their pipes.
"That's him Porchemy! He's the one that took our money!"
"Little brats." The large pirate glared at the kids before grabbing his sword.
"Shishishi!" He everyone stopped when they heard Luffy Laugh. "I'm glad you guys showed up! Now I can kick some ass!" Luffy was no longer suspended off the ground though he was still tied up. He had managed to get down from his precarious predicament.
"What are you talking-" The Pirates were cut off as Luffy utilized his Conqurer's Haki and knocked them all out.
"Ace, Sabo! We may want to run now."
At the base of the tree storing their money, Ace, Sabo and Luffy talked.
"Thanks for saving me guys!" Luffy replied happily. "I don't know what would have happened if you didn't show up."
"I'm sure you would have been fine." Sabo grumbled. "You look like you could handle yourself fairly well."
"EITHER WAY, WHY DIDN'T YOU RAT US OUT?" Ace demanded "YOU COULD HAVE SAVED YOURSELF AND RAT US OUT!"
"If I did that you wouldn't want to be my friend." Luffy replied seriously.
"Why the hell do you want to be my friend?" Ace demanded "After all I've tried to do to you?"
"Then I'd be all alone." Partial Lie, partial truth. "Granted the people in the village and the Bandits aren't so bad but they just can't understand me the way you can."
"You want to be with me?"
"Yeah."
"Do you want me to live?"
"Of Course!"
"Fine..." Ace grumbled. "Just so you know I hate weak crybabies."
"Well it's a good thing that I'm neither of those since I'm going to be Pirate King one day!"
"You a pirate!? Get real!"
"Guys, we do have another problem." Ace and Luffy turned to Sabo. "Where am I supposed to live now?"
Luffy just grew a big smile. He knew the perfect place.
"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?" Dadan demanded as Ace and Luffy brought Sabo to the Dadan family. "WHY IS THERE ANOTHER BRAT HERE?"
"Nice to meet you Dadan, I'm Sabo." the blond boy introduced himself to Dadan.
"Sabo!? I've heard about you! They say you're a little shit!"
"Yeah, and they say you're a bitch."
"WHY YOU-"
And from that day on the three wild boys became inseparable. The harsh environment forced them to all grow stronger by the day; they fought the beasts of the Jungle and the Mountain pass, the Punks and Thieves from the Gray Terminal, and they even had several run ins with the pirates of Bluejam's Crew. They sparred every day, with Luffy winning 100 consecutive battles against his brothers. Not once did Ace or Sabo even land a hit on Luffy much to their displeasure. They infiltrated the great Goa Kingdom and raised a ruckus almost on a weekly basis. They continued this for months until one day Sabo was spotted by his former Family.
After spilling out his story on how he was born a noble and yet he despised it The three boys made a pact; They would all set sail one day and become Pirates.
"Did you guys know that if you exchange sake cups with someone you can become brothers?"
"I've heard of that!" Luffy said rather excitedly.
"When we all become Pirates we may not be on the same crew but our bond as Brothers will never die." Ace said as he poured three cups of Sake.
"STARTING TODAY WE ARE BROTHERS!" All three of them clinked cups and drank the sake.
"Blech!" Luffy made a disgusted face after taking a sip. "Oh, man that tastes bad!"
"You don't like it?" Sabo asked.
"I don't really like the taste of Alcohol." Luffy said seriously
"THEN HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO BE BROTHERS IF YOU DON'T LIKE SAKE?"
"We'll just be brothers." Luffy replied simply.
From that moment on they were brothers and they did everything together, their bond grew stronger each day as they did, whether it was hunting beasts and or mushrooms, beating up thugs, taking baths, Having Parties with the Dadan Family, Garp's brand tough love training, Eventually they 'moved out' and into a tree house the three of them built. These were days that would forever shine like gold. And they almost ended the day Sabo's father had the Bluejam Pirates track them down.
"GIVE SABO BACK!" Ace yelled as Bluejam grabbed the bond boy.
"Give him back? Try speaking the human language you piece of trash." Sabo's father said "Sabo is my flesh and blood, you had no right to take him from me! What is it that you're after? My fortune? Well its a good thing I got my son back before you could get your grubby hands on it."
"What did you say?" Ace growled before a pirate decked Ace in the head.
"ACE!" Luffy rushed to his older brother's side "Are you OK?"
"I'm fine Luffy."
"Pirate," He addressed Bluejam. "Deal with these miscreants."
"No! Stop!" Sabo cried out "Leave them Alone I'll do anything you ask!"
"Anything?" His father asked. before nodding at Bluejam to release Sabo.
"SABO NO!" Ace cried out
BA-DUM Suddenly everyone aside from Luffy, Ace, Sabo, Bluejam and Sabo's father fell unconscious.
"What the..." Bluejam wondered aloud "What was that?" KA-POW! Bluejam was caught completely off guard when Luffy landed a powerful punch against the pirate's head knocking him down.
"Pirate!" Sabo's father yelled but he too was cut off when Ace struck the man's leg with his pole. "ARGH!" He let out a pained cry as he felt his kneecap crack.
"Gomu Gomu No..." Luffy cocked his right arm. "PISTOL!" a rubbery fist soared and colided with Outlook III knocking him unconscious.
"SABO! ACE! RUN!" Luffy cried out as he led his brothers deeper into the Grey Terminal before Bluejam could get back up.
"Aw man that was close" Luffy sighed he turned to his older brother and grinned "We almost lost you Sabo."
"Yeah, but you've just put yourselves in more danger!" Sabo cried out "Why?"
"Because you'd do the same for us." Ace replied.
"Yeah well, we'd better get out of here." Luffy said "I heard some guys in the city talking about how they're gonna burn this place tonight."
"WHAT!?" Ace and Sabo were shocked "THEY'RE GONNA BURN THE GREY TERMINAL?"
"Well yeah, so we might want to warn the people living there." Luffy argued.
With a sigh Ace and Sabo agreed with Luffy. It was better for them to try and help all the people in the Grey Terminal instead of leaving them to die.
In the dead of night Goa Kingdom began its holocaust of the trash of the Grey Terminal. The Fires burned so intensely they forced people living in the outskirts of the Kingdom to evacuate for the time being. The three wild boys had tried to warn as many people as they could, but many of them shrugged it off so when the fires began, they panicked.
"WAKE UP! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!"
"THE FLAMES ARE APPROACHING FROM EVERY DIRECTION!"
"WE'RE TRAPPED!"
"HELP US!"
"WE CAN'T STOP IT!"
"RUN!"
"THE FLAMES ARE BLOCKING THE COVE!"
"THEY'RE BLOCKING TO FOREST AS WELL!"
"IS THERE NO HOPE FOR US?"
The people of the Grey Terminal screamed and panicked as they tried to flee the ferocious flames.
Meanwhile the Goa kingdom military and the Bluejam Pirates were having a blast burning down all the trash.
"BURN IT ALL MEN! WHEN WE'RE DONE HERE WE'LL BE WELCOMED INTO THE CITY LIKE HEROES!" Bluejam's voice was filled with sadistic joy he got from killing. Unfortunately, one of his crew mates called a betrayal to his attention. Turning around Bluejam was stunned to see the military closing the Kingdom gates with the Pirates still trapped in the inferno. "OI! WHAT ARE YOU PLAYING AT YOU BASTARDS? OPEN THE GATES! LET US IN! THAT WAS OUR DEAL!"
On the other side of the dump Luffy Ace and Sabo were in the process of leading as many people to safety as they could.
"FOLLOW US!" Ace cried out.
"WE'RE TRAPPED!" One of the people cried as fire surrounded them on all sides.
In that moment, a massive explosion tore through the sea of flames and trash creating a safe passageway for the people of the Grey Terminal.
"What the..." Everyone was shocked, even Luffy. He had no idea what was going on at this point.
"HEY I CAN SEE A SHIP!" someone cried out
"LET'S GO!"
"BEFORE THE FLAMES COME BACK!"
The three boys were swept up in the crowd and brought along to the ship.
"THOSE WHO WISH TO JOIN ME IN A BATTLE FOR FREEDOM GET ON BOARD!" Everyone looked up to see a man in a green cloak standing on the Ship's prow speaking to them.
"Who's that?" Sabo asked his brothers. Ace just shrugged but Luffy looked stunned.
"...No clue..." Luffy replied not entirely sure who was on that ship. He could sense the presence of several powerful individuals but he couldn't pinpoint who they were. "But they seem to be good people since they're helping us escape."
"Should we get on the ship?" Ace asked
"I don't know, but it seems like a much better option than burning to death. What do you think Luffy?"
"Nah, Let's head home."
Sabo turned around only to see Luffy running back into the inferno. "LUFFY!" Ace turned as well and gawked at their little brother's stupidity.
"WHAT IS THAT IDIOT THINKING?" Sabo was yelling to himself and Ace trying to process what on earth possessed Luffy to charge back into danger when there was a ship behind them that would take them to their salvation.
"WE'VE GOT TO SAVE HIM!" Ace yelled as he and Sabo ran after their little brother.
The brother's departure did not go unnoticed by one of the men on the dragon ship. Aboard the ship Monkey D. Dragon smiled as the three boys ran back into the inferno with his son leading the charge to safety.
"After that Gramps showed up with Law." Luffy finished his story. "He's been with us for about a year now. I kind of want him to join the crew as our ship's Doctor."
"What?!" Nami looked at Luffy rather shocked by that declaration. "What about Chopper?"
"Don' worry we'll get Chopper too!" Luffy answered with a smile. "But Law's really strong and it'll be great to have him on the crew."
"You know in all my time of knowing you you've never once gave any of us your back story." Nami rested her chin against her knuckles.
"It just never came up." Luffy said "Well, what about you?"
Nami looked away for a moment. "Compared to you all I changed was that my mom is now alive." She though back how she seemed to instinctively activate her powers to save Belle-mere.
"Really? That's great!"
"Not really, that was mostly just luck." Nami sighed. "I did it instinctively with my new powers but... I don't think I can do that again. At least not without practice."
"Here you two go." Makino said as she placed two delicious looking meals in front of the kids
"Thank you Makino" Nami said as she began to drink her orange juice.
"So, are you Luffy's girlfriend?" Makino asked causing both Nami and Luffy to spit out their drinks in shock.
"She's not my girlfriend! / I'm not his girlfriend!" They both yelled at the same time.
"Hahaha" Makino laughed. "OK, whatever you say."
"Are you sure?" Ace asked while he laughed "You two almost act like a married couple already."
"WE DO NOT!" Nami and Luffy yelled in unison.
"Sure you don't."
"Ugh…" Nami groaned. "Why does everyone assume I'm your girlfriend?"
"Does this mean we're getting a little sister now?" Sabo asked
A few hours later Luffy, Ace Sabo and Nami headed back to Dadan's house but on the way Ace and Luffy realized something important.
"Oh Crap! We need to get something to eat!" both boys screamed in unison.
"What are you talking about?" Nami asked. "We just ate."
"You see Nami, Dadan has this rule where if you don't bring your own food you don't eat. Well you do get a bowl of rice and a glass of water." Sabo replied
"Maybe I should just stay in town with Makino…"
"Nonsense! It's way more fun in the mountains with Dadan!" Ace fired back.
"I say if she wants to stay in town, we let her." Law nonchalantly countered.
"Alright then! Let's go hunting!" Luffy yelled
After a few hours of hunting all five kids returned to the house each one bringing a large water buffalo, well in Nami's case Luffy was carrying the buffalo he helped her takedown.
"Thanks of carrying that buffalo for me Luffy" Nami told her future captain.
"Hey Luffy why did you offer to carry her buffalo for her?" Ace whispered to his brother
"I did it because Nami would have tricked me into carrying it. Either way I would be carrying it."
"That's right plus you all owe me 100,000 belli each because my cloths got dirty." Nami added as she cut into their conversation.
"WHAT!?" the boys yelled as Nami smiled. "THAT'S A DIRTY TRICK!"
"Fine," Nami sighed. "Since you're a bunch of crybabies you now each owe me 120,000 Belli."
"IT WENT UP!?"
"ALRIGHT YOU BRATS WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?" Curly Dadan yelled at the three kids as they entered the base. "Wait a minute. Who are you?" She demanded as she pointed at Nami.
"Oh, hi, my name's Nami. I'm a friend of Luffy's. I would like to stay here for a while if it's OK with you."
'Damn, not another one...' With a groan Dadan agreed to let Nami stay. "Ok but I'm not feeding you unless you bring your own food."
"That's alright she's got some!" Luffy said as he dragged in the two buffalo "I helped her take this one down!"
"WHAT!?" the bandits yelled in surprise. First, they had to deal with Ace, then Luffy, then Sabo, then Law and now they had to deal with Nami as well. It was like they were born under some unlucky star that made them have to take care of these kids. "WHEN DID THIS BECOME A DAYCARE CENTER FOR FREAKS?"
While everyone was eating their meals Nami turned to Luffy and Ace. "So, when's your grandfather coming by Luffy?" She asked causing Ace and Luffy to swallow hard and Sabo to start choking on his drink.
"Gramps comes by when he's on vacation." Luffy explained. "It's not as fun as it sounds since all he does is beat us up."
"Is he coming soon?"
"Dunno." Luffy said while biting into another piece of Buffalo meat. "It's kind of random when he shows up."
"Either way we won't have to worry about him beating us up when we become Pirates." Sabo said.
"Damn right! The sooner we become pirates the sooner gramps stops 'training us'" Ace agreed.
"Speak for yourselves." Law took a bit out of his meal trying to distance himself from the tomfoolery. "I think I'll just open a med-"
"HA! Well Me Law and Nami are gonna be pirates before either of you so good luck with that!" Luffy declared interrupting Law.
"PPPPPPPFFFFFFFTTTT!" Simultaneously all the bandits sat out their drinks.
"Huh?" The boys looked at their foster mother questioningly. She had a look of Horror permanently etched into her face as she stared at the door motionlessly.
"Ehem!" A deep voice cleared his throat as if to make his presence known.
Ace, Sabo and Luffy all felt the same fear cast over them and slowly they turned around. Standing in the doorway was none other than Monkey D. Garp.
"Oh, so you brats are still going on about being Pirates eh?" He asked. The Boys all spat out their drinks in terror while Nami watched the situation unfold. "So, what's so hard to understand about you all becoming strong Marines?" KRACK Garp cracked his knuckles. BONK BONK BONK BONK BONK As fast as lightning Garp slammed his fist into Luffy's head, Ace's head, Sabo's head, Law's head and Dadan's head making all five fall over in a circle with large lumps growing out of their heads.
Garp shifted his gaze to Nami who shuddered. "Girly, was my grandson bothering you with ideas about becoming a pirate?" He asked seriously.
"Oh, Uh, no Mr. Garp…" Nami said trying to pass it off. "You see-"
"She's not a Girly! Luffy jumped in front of her and opened his big fat mouth. "She's Nami! And she's gonna be the Navigator on my Pirate Ship! And Law's goign to be the Doctor!"
'Idiot…' She mentally kicked herself.
"STOP COUNTING ME!" Law yelled at the straw hat wearing boy.
"Oh? So the number of idiots that need a new lesson has jumped to five eh?"
"Actually, my mom's in the Marines." Nami quickly cried out hoping to catching Garp's attention and not his fist.
"Eh!?" Luffy, Ace, Sabo and Garp all looked at her with wide eyes blinking several times as the information processed.
"You're mom's a Marine!?" Luffy questioned absolutely shocked that Nami's mom was a Marine; then again he really didn't know anything about Nami's mother when he thought about it. "Why was this never mentioned?"
"Because you didn't listen to my backstory!" Nami fired back.
"Wait, if your mom's a Marine then why are you here?" Ace demanded
"Oh great... Another one." Law mumbled.
"I came here mostly so I could find Mr. Garp." Nami replied causing all three boys to gawk at her.
"I thought you came her because of Luffy…" Sabo added.
"Well Luffy was an added bonus." Nami said cutely before turning to Garp. "Because, You see Mr. Garp, Pirates have attacked my home and-"
"Say no more!" Garp stood up and grabbed the collar of his floral patterened shirt. RIIIIP he tore the shirt and shorts off revealing a while double breasted suit beneath. "You can always count on the Marines to save the day!" He folded his arms across his broad chest and struck a cool pose. "We leave no Marine behind!"
'WHAT!?' Everyone was quite stunned. What Garp just did made no logical sense. 'HE'S WEARING A SUIT UNDERNEATH HIS VACATION CLOTHES!?'
"Pack up you duffel bags Boys! We're going on a field trip!" The three younger brothers just turned to Nami, slightly upset they had to go on this Navy training venture. "Yahoo! I get to show my grandsons how to hunt Pirates!" Their faces said it all.
"What?" Nami asked innocently.
"Well, this is going to be interesting." Law smirked in slight excitement.
