Chapter 3 :Ship wreck- Siblings base

It had been just over two weeks since the accident,Rades wounds where healing at an impressive speed and , although her leg was still bandaged, she was playing with her brother like usual. Aces hand had almost healed leaving a long scar across his palm as a reminder of his promise.

Luffy lept into the room where Ace and Rade were laying on their stomachs faceing each other on Aces bed, they had their hands locked in an arm wresiling battle,"Hey, hey guys, hey, Ace ,Rade" he pouunced across the room grinning as he did so.

Ace pushed Rades hand agianst the bed winning the battle, he smerked at her and she pouted in mock annoyence, "What is it Luffy" Rade asked cheerfully, Luffy stood by the bed bounccing slightly in exitement, "Found...cool...ship...beach..." Luffy panted, out of breath from running back to the cottage.

Grabbing both Rade and Ace by the arms he dragged them out of the cottage and into the forest, onto a thin track and towards the beach "where are we going Luffy" Ace inquired as they where nearing the beach, "I found this really cool ship wreck there was no crew or anything" Luffy answered still leading them towards the beach.

Once they reached the beach Luffy led them to a small bay that was concielled by trees, the bay was once used as a base for pireates who viseted the island, but now it had been forgotten as piarets no longer came to the island much and the trees had growen over the entrance.

Once past the trees they saw the bay in its full glory, it was a beautiful place, the sun shon through an opening in the trees above causing the water to glisten, the light danced of the surface of the cobolt blue water reflected onto the sourounding sand and plants making the whole area look like an image from a dream. On the far side of the bay, a large ship sat, as they approched the ship they could see its sails where torn and the top deck had been partly distroyed, there where holdes in the sides which looked like they were caused by a cannon, they climbed on to a part of the deck that looked stable.

"This is cool huh?" Luffy smiled proud of his discovery, "for once your right about somthing Luffy, this is pretty awsome" Ace nodded congradulating luffy of his descovery. Luffys face spred into a bigger smile and his eyes sparkled with a sort of mischevious glee that let Ace know he had an idea "what are you thinking Luffy" ace prompted, " We could fix the deck, this could be our base, just for the three of us, and if we ever feel sad we can come here" Luffy cherped, Rade smiled, along with Ace, they both nodded, it was a good idea, a scerect place for them, "cool, we start today!" Luffy cheered, "no, Luffy its already starting to get dark we'll start tomorrow" Ace sighed, Rade giggled following Ace and Luffy, who was mumbling somthing along the lines of 'boring Ace', back home.

It took the three childern a month to finsh repairing the ship, they had replaced the deck and fernished it with a table and some chairs, they had taken down the sails leaving just the mast, on the mast they had carved their names and their age along with a small message ;

ACE 11

LUFFY 8

RADE 6

WE WILL RULE THE SEAS TOGHTER.

Ace finshed carving message looking at Luffy and Rade who nodded in approveal.

"Rade!, Luffy! we have to set out to sea someday, we can get out of this country and live freely as pirates! I'll become a great pirate and show them what i can do, i'll become the most notorious pirate in the world" Ace announced, "You might become notorious, but ill be the king, even if you are the pirate kings son" Luffy sang in protest, "what, Ace is Rodgers son?" Rade qustioned slightly confused by what luffy had said. Ace sighed "yeah, its ment to be a secret,and i despise my father, so i took my mothers name" Ace answered the qustion hesitently, "i wouldnt blame you if you hated me now" he said face droppin slightly, "why would i hate you Acey?" Rade asked confused, "because i have the blood of a devil" he stated sadness in his voice, "so do i Acey" Rade ancwered cheerfuly , "What!" Aces face was now concerned, "yeah, my father Silvers. D .Rayleigh, He was Rodgers first mate, he sent me here because the marines where searching for me, my full name is Silvers. D .Rade" she said unfased by the look of shock on Aces face.

"Your the dark kings daughter, i thought that was just a myth" Ace said, "yep"rade cherped, "COOL!" Luffy said a impressed. "its not cool Luffy if anyone else finds out who she is she will be executed, Rade you can't say your name to people, the marines are looking for you" Ace stated,Rade nodded "what should i call myself then?" she asked still smiling, "how about Psycho!" Luffy sugested, "I like it, it kind of matches your personality" Ace teased, "I like it" Rade smiled Nodding her head in agrement, "Psycho It is then" Luffy announced. "so Psycho, you ready to live up to your name" Ace teased throwing his arm around her sholders, she grinned deviously up to Ace, "you bet i am Acey!"
