A/N: Eiichiro Oda owns One Piece
Last time on Chapter 10...
"Shishishi, I love Grampa! He might abuse us in training, but he loves us too! He never wanted to let us be a pirate because he never wanted us to go on the bad path, but I will still achieve my dream!" Luffy explains while Ace and Sabo had their eyes and mouth wide open at Luffy's words, it felt so honest and so… filled with Happiness and affectionate that it almost made Ace and Sabo think twice of hating their Shitty Gramps… "Now then… LET'S EAT!" Luffy shouts as he runs in the forest, which made Ace and Sabo's face go terrified of the thought of Luffy being eaten and they quickly ran, following Luffy. Law and Corazon smiled and followed the three soon-to-be-brothers.
"We shouldn't have to keep secrets from each other, now, should we?" Ace and Law says with a serious face as Luffy flinches slightly. "SPILL IT." Ace and Law says at the same time which almost scared Sabo and Luffy for how the same they're face and voice are. Suddenly Law and Ace attacked Sabo. "JUST TELL US ALREADY, YOU IDIOT! I'LL KICK YOUR FACE IN!" Ace shouts as he and Law choked Sabo to death. Luffy tried ( not serious though ) to stop Ace and Law from killing Sabo.
"GUARGHH! AHHHH….! ….A… ALRIGHT...! I'LL TALK, I'LL TALK!" Sabo says as he finally gave in. After Ace and Law finally calmed down, Sabo had a grim expression. Sabo took a deep breath.

"THE SON OF A NOBLE!?" Ace shouted in surprise, but his eyes were only wide.
"WHO IS?!" Luffy shouted, trying to act that he was surprised.
"I AM..!" Sabo shouts in annoyance.
"So?" Ace, Law, and Luffy chorused, while Law looking bored as Ace and Luffy dug their pinky finger on their nose.
"YOU'RE THE ONES WHO WANTED TO KNOW!" Sabo shouts with a tick mark on his head, comical shark teeth, and angry eyes "… The truth is, both of my real parents are still out there… I'm not a real orphan… And I wasn't born on the trash heap either." Sabo pauses with a grim expression on him once again. "The man who was trying to stop me just now was my father. I'm sorry I had to lie to you…" Sabo said as he looked on the ground, guilty obvious in his face.
"I'm actually pretty shocked by this. If you were born into a noble household… Why would you end up on the trash heap?" Ace says as he turns his back on Sabo. Sabo remembered the memories he had on that place, it was nothing but being caged.
"All they care about was having an heir to protect the family status and fortune." Sabo says as he pauses with a grim tone. "They never cared about me! If I couldn't marry into a royal family, then I was worthless. They made me work day in, day out to improve my chances. My parents were always fighting because I wasn't good enough for them. There was never any place for me in that house." Sabo pauses again "This may be kind of rude to you guys, but… I was always 'alone' even though I had parents." There was a pregnant pause between the four soon-to-be brothers, then suddenly Sabo stood up. "Law… Ace… Luffy…!" Sabo looked at them in the eye "WE HAVE TO MAKE IT OUT TO SEA SOMEDAY! WE'LL LEAVE THIS COUNTRY BEHIND… AND GAIN OUR FREEDOM!" Sabo looked at them with determination in his eyes "I want to see the world in all its glory and write a book about all the things I find! If it's sailing I'm studying for, then I don't care how hard I have to work! WE'VE GOT TO GET STRONGER, AND BECOME REAL PIRATES!"
"I don't need you to tell me that! I'M GONNA BECOME A PIRATE, BEAT EVERY LAST PERSON WHO STANDS IN MY WAY… AND EARN MYSELF THE KIND OF GLORY THAT DREAMS ARE MADE OF! ONLY THEN WILL MY LIFE HAVE BEEN WORTH LIVING!" Ace shouts as he grins. "I DON'T CARE IF THE WHOLE WORLD REFUSES TO ACCEPT ME… THEY CAN HATE ME ALL THEY LIKE! I'LL BECOME A GREAT PIRATE AND PROVE I'M BETTER THAN THEM ALL! I WON'T RUN FROM ANYBODY! I'LL NEVER LOSE! I DON'T CARE IF THEY END UP TERRIFIED OF ME! I'M JUST GONNA MAKE SURE THE WHOLE WORLD KNOWS MY NAME! " Luffy giggles and whispers to Law, who was amused by all the shouting
"Go with the flow, shishishi!" Luffy says while Law smirks and nods. Luffy stepped one step forwards and also shouts. "Then i'm..."

"Huh?!" Law, Sabo, and Ace chorused as they looked at Luffy's deadpanned expression, after a few moments Sabo laughed as Ace and Law sighed.
"… Of all the things… you could come out with…" Ace says as he sighed again, Sabo laughed more.
"Ahahahaha! Man, your one crazy guy!" Sabo says while Law smirks at Sabo's words, he was sure it was true.
"You're one to keep an eye an that's for sure." Law says while Luffy grins at them.
"Shishishi!" Luffy laughs while grinning more brightly on them.
"… But isn't gonna be a problem if all four of us want to be a captain?" Sabo says while he was on his thinking mode.
"… Yeah, that could be an issue. I always thought you were gonna be my navigator, Sabo." Ace says as Law was also thinking, Luffy decided to lighten up the tensed atmosphere since they were thinking too much.
"WHAT? YOU GUYS SHOULD JUST JOIN MY SHIP!" Luffy shouts while he grins. The three shouted a 'No!' which made Luffy pout, but at least things were pretty good now.

Luffy and the other two were waiting for Ace to come, Ace said about something and Luffy was sure about it. The day where they became brothers... Luffy was grinning like a madman, he'd be their brother again! Finally after popping out in his thoughts, Ace came with a sake on his hand. "Did you know, you guys?" Ace asks as he opens a sake and had four cups on their table ( which they called, but it's actually a cut-down tree ). "Well, we can decide the details when the time comes." Ace placed down the sake "Who knows, maybe we'll all end up forming our own separate crews!" Then Law notices something.
"… That's Dadan's booze, isn't?" Law says while he sweatdrops.
"If you exchange drinks, then we can be brothers." Ace says as if Law didn't say anything. Law just shrugged it off, He was excited too. Luffy grinned widely and so bright that it can rival the sun's light, Law and Sabo smiled in excitement. "When we become pirates, we may not be able to end up in the same crew… But the bond of our brotherhood we share will never die!" Ace paused "No matter where we are, or what we do… This is one bond we can never break…!" Ace says as he pours a sake on the four cups when he was done, all four of them raised their cups" Starting today, we…" Ace grins widely "… Are brothers!" the four grinned happily.
"YEAH!" The three yells as they drink the sake.

The four bonded, bathed together, ate together, survived together, and the most important thing was…

And Luffy wasn't about to let one of them go out of his sights.
