As soon as the two left running into the woods Ruby made a violent stop to tracking Ace and looked all around her the organic life there, everything around her looked so free and full of something the gem can't label. her breath was taken by this unfound beauty. But this moment was violently interrupted when Luffy rammed right into ruby.

"HEY WATCH IT!" The ground then immediately sparked with flames Ruby was seeing something amazing but then the brat interrupted her moment!

"Sorry?! Why did you stop I thought we were following Ace?"

Ruby helped the human off the ground.

"Well I don't know I j-just, you know? UGGHH let's just go! She then ran ahead and they were nonstop at following the trail, they were going to find the human quick! Until the human child stopped and Ruby rammed into him this time.

" Why did you stop!"

"I heard something, it might be Ace?!"

The noise started to come closer towards them, as it came closer the ground started to vibrate with every step the mysterious foe takes. The threat shown its face with a fearsome roar.

"DEFINATLY NOT ACE" Ruby grabbed Luffy's hand and started running, the gem's mind raced of what to do; this has to be a corrupted gem but where is its gem, she needed to destroy its physical form?!

" That's is the biggest tiger I've seen here!"

"Wait you know what that thing is?!"

"Doesn't everyone?" The boy was left scratching his head, how could Ruby not know!

"Don't make me look dumb! Human right now we need a way to get past that "tiger" "

"Well ummmmm gramps always said violence solves everything?!"

" I like that idea!" The gems punched her fist together out of sheer excitement The gem head straight towards the beast; but it's paws were huge and wacked the gem straight towards a tree, Luffy tried to rev up a punch at the tiger but his fist while extending hit a tree and bounced back to hit Luffy in the face. The pair were basically screwed if the beast went on with this "fight", but it seemed like it wanted nothing to do with the idiots and went on its way the gem and human were pissed it didn't finish its job

"COME BACK HERE YOU COWARD!" both Luffy and Ruby shook there fist at the tiger with sheer anger but the beast had better things to do and vanished.

"Ugggh lets just keep tracking " the gem just went on walking, she was saddened that she didn't do what she was made to do , back on homeworld her squad always takes down corrupted gems but now she was here with a human, a really weird human.

As hours went by tracking Luffy's stomach began to growl, the boy then though of the last time he ate maybe it an hour ago, he could kill something and eat it, but he doesn't know how to light a fire he didn't want to eat meat raw he remembered how sick he got from the last time he did. Then a genius thought came Ruby lit the ground earlier maybe she could cook!

"OIII square I got to ask something?!"

" What!, I am a bit busy with this trail ,apparently the other life forms here keep messing with the tracks!"

" I am hungry do you think we can kill something and you can cook it with your fire!"

" What! You want me to do something with my fire?! Sorry can't help you there I am private ranking "

"What I've seen you set fire to the ground earlier!"

" That's because I was truly pissed off human, I can only use my fire abilities with a high concentration of emotion, only commanders can use their fire freely"

"Awwwwe I am really hungry though"

"Come on suck it up, I think we are almost there"

They continued on until they met the end of the forest, it was late at the night and the stars began to show up. at the end of the woods was a huge metal scrap heap full of people trying to piece there lives together or a bunch of violent criminals ,the gem and human weren't concerned about these people they were trying to find anything that could help them track Ace, they scoured the whole scrap heap for any clues. So far they got that there is two insanely menacing kids that mugged people and were last seen running into the woods. Ruby thinks this might be their best lead.

"Our best shot of finding the human is in the woods, Luffy I think we should separate, we have a better shot of finding with more coverage of the area!"

"What's coverage?"

" uggghhhh you look that way , I look this way" the gem and human separated paths and bolted in the woods with full intent of finding ace.

Luffy looked around the woods , then the boy heard sounds of two people talking. Luffy ran straight towards a bush and took a peek at who is talking. He found ace! And he has another friend maybe he could find Ruby and they could be a pirate crew together! The boy then heard the two kids talking how they were going to be pirate too ITS PERFECT!

Luffy popped out of the bushes with a spring full hello and "I WANT TO BE A PIRATE TOO!" The two boys looked at him with glaring eyes

Ace was indeed shocked that the brat followed him here and Sabo was as well, the child could have heard all of their conversation or heard where their pirate fund is!

Ace and the blonde then proceeded to gain up on Luffy.

XxxxxxxxxxxxxX

The gem was running around the woods looking for any clues until she heard many steps coming her way. From the gems training anything unidentifiable go find cover and wait to see if it's a danger or an ally. Ruby found cover in a tree and then waited.

"NOBODY STEALS FROM THE BLUE JAM PIRATES AND GET AWAY WITH IT, AM I RIGHT MEN"

The whole group cheered then another human within the group shouted "THOSE BRATS AINT GETTING AWAY WITH OUR TREASURE"

Again the horde of humans roared in agreement.

The gem then thought that can't be good she needed to get Luffy out of the forest, he could be collateral damage SHE IS STILL IN HIS DEBT!

Ruby looked high and low for the human and was about to go on a rampage until she heard a familiar shriek. She ran straight towards the noise to find Luffy right there right in front of her restrained to a "tree" making that annoying noise.

"LUFFY! There you are! How did you get like this?! Who did this!"

"SQUARE! Ohh ummmmmmmmm it was ace and The blond guy"

"WHAT! I WAS RIGHT ACE IS A JERK!"

"Can you untie me now?!"

"Oh ya that!" Ruby started to work on the restraints although it was incredibly hard to brake it seemed like the human was on a Quartz gem's death grip. She then started to worry because she could hear the savage humans coming closer and closer.

Luffy really wanted to get out of the ropes quick, he then recalled something that Ruby said earlier that when she is truly something something she lights things on fire. Wait she can hurry up!

"OII RUBY HURRY UP"

"WHAT" the ropes immediately started to burn with Ruby's burst of anger

" HERE I AM TRYING TO HELP YOU AND THIS IS WHAT I GET! AN UNTHANKFUL ORGANIC BRAT!" The ropes started to burn faster and faster.

"YOU HUMANS ARE THE MOST STUPID AND UNSIGNIFI-Ohhhhh?!" the ropes then falled right off the human. The gem was shocked of how clever humans are then realized that the runt tricked her.

"HEYYY! You know what we can talk later we need to get out of here now!"

"But why we still need to find Ace?!

"Who care about Ace, Luffy! Ace tried to kill you before and now they tied you up and used you for bait!THEY ARE NOT OUR ALLIES LUFFY! Savage humans are coming this way! we need to go!"

"FINE BUT I AM NOT GIVING UP ON ACE!"

"SO BE IT !" The pair were running as fast as they can but Ruby leaving luffy in the dust .

"Luffy I think we are far away from the savage humans! Luffy?"Ruby was confused as to why the human wasn't with her, he must have gotten lost, or maybe he didn't want to cooperate with her and went to the jerks, the gem didn't care where the human went, she didn't want to care but something inside her made her worry about the rock minded idiot as much as she tried to suppress it but she wanted to go back for Luffy but WHYYYY?!'

"LUFFFY WHERE ARE YOU!" Ruby was relentless for looking for her comrade , she scaled every cliff and flipped every rock and yelled at every high point but to no avail she couldn't find him. Until she saw ace and the other human They must know where he is!

" Another step closer to completing our pirate fund and escaping this hell! Right ace!"

Ace wasn't currently paying attention to the conversation that Sabo was trying to make even though he was right, his mind was on the kid BUT WHY IS The STUPID BRAT still HIS MIND WHY?!"

" ummmm hey Ace do you think that kid is still with the pirates?"

Ace then laughed at that idea ,the brat looks like he couldn't even keep a secret for a second.

"Pffttt Nah! He probably gave it away or maybe his little body guard came to save his rear"

Then Aces mocking gesture turned to a sharp cold glare when he noticed a oh too familiar face."Awe it you!"

" I don't care if you hate me! I don't care if you want me dead I need your help, is Luffy with you? Please I need to know if he is ok he wasn't with me when we were fleeing from the savage humans" that "girl" who was an even match for him was now begging on her knees

" He isn't with you?!" Ace was shocked by this, his fund isn't attacked and the kid wasn't there with the square jerk. That means that he was still with the pirates for 6 HOURS CRAP. Sabo then intervened with the conversation

"Wait ace is this the jerk that you had that fight with?!"

"Ya she is !" Ace spat it out in the rudest tone he could conjure so she could feel some fear or respect for him.

" PLEASE HELP ME! I-i- I'll do anything just help me get Luffy back!" Ruby could no longer feel any control of herself as burning tears seeped through her everything that she stood for on home world, everything she fought for, every order she followed she is willing to throw it away for this human, THIS STUPID HUMAN THAT JUST RAMMED INTO HER LIFE.

"Fine lets go"

"Huh?!"

Ace was already half way across the woods "SQUARE, SABO LETS GO , NOW WE HAVE TO SAVE THE STUPID RUNT"

The blonde grabbed his pipe and was already there with Ace, Ruby didn't know how this happened but somehow Luffy was right about these humans.

Ruby followed the two humans to the scrap yard where Luffy and herself have been earlier and from what ace told her they were stepping into one of the worst tempered pirates territory but she is a Ruby she was built for this!

The three were standing behind a sort of base for the human savages it was the group's best bet that Luffy was being held in there. And with that hope the three stormed the base with nothing holding them back! The trio was hitting every foe coming at them full force!

The blond was being pushed back trying to block enemy blows then something panged on his hat Sabo looked up then noticed the kid dangling above his head like a piƱata, beaten to a bloody pulp he needed to get him down from there! But first he needs these guys to get out of his way!

"LEAVE MY SUBORDINATE ALONE!" Ruby then rammed into the three men trying to hit Sabo making them all hit the wall with a powerful bang. The gem then noticed Luffy being held up like some sort of aristocratic decoration she was furious of how these pitiful humans treat her subordinate and they were going to pay some how!.

"BLONDIE CATCH HIM FOR ME!" the gem then jumped high to where the rope was making Luffy float and ripped it in half. The blond then scrambled to catch him when the human fell to the ground.

"Gottcha! ACE WE GOT HIM LETS GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!"

Ace then proceeded to give the leader a strong hit to the head and nodded in agreement to get out of this hell hole.

The three of them carried Luffy out of the scrap yard and ran straight towards the bandits hut at a bullets speed. The three threw Luffy to the leader of the bandits because they don't know a thing about medicine, at least with her, she can make him stop bleeding.

As Ace and Sabo were discussing of what to do now that they pissed off one of the worst pirates in the east blue Ruby walked away and collapsed to the ground out of peer shock of what she just did; Ruby was horrified with herself, she begged; she just begged for the humans to help her RUBIES NEVER BEG FOR ANYTHING! She just now reached a new low for her existence; she is now a defective worthless gem that broke the rules again! She just needs to think about what's going on and make some sense out of all this

Mean while A few hours has passed and The human came out of the room littered with stitches and tons of band aids on him and as soon as he got out of the room he was met by Ace and Sabo with the pair fully intent of getting answers out of him.

"Why did you do that!? Why didn't you give us away like that! YOU COULD HAVE GOTTEN YOURSELF KILLED!"

For Luffy that question was way to easy to answer

"BECAUSE BEING ALONE IS WORSE THEN BEING DEAD!"

" You would rather hang out with me even though I was a jerk to you?"

Luffy nodded his head viciously, but Ace was very conflicted about this, this boy would rather hang out with him a monster at any cost then be alone he couldn't ignore this dumb kid anymore, he proved that he was more then capable of being his friend.

"You can hang out with us"

"Really?!" The kid burst into tears of pure joy

" BUT I DONT LIKE CRYBABIES"

The child then immediately stopped crying and wiped all the snot off his face. All the humans were maxed out due to this event and all at once just slammed onto floor sleeping.
