"I MEAN I DONT GET IT! I SAID I AM A GEM RIGHT?!BUT NOOOOOO HE SAID I AM A GIRL A FREAKING GIRL?! I DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT THAT IS! WH-what is it by the way?!" ruby looked over to Sabo
"Ummm well a girl- a girl is like us boys but different? honestly I don't know I think your going to have to ask one"
"Where can I find one?" Just before Sabo can answer Ruby spotted her favorite idiot in the distance in a blink of an eye ruby dashed over "HI LUFFY!"
"Hi Ruby! Check out what I can do!" Before Ruby and Sabo can say anything the boy took a breath of air but instead of stopping he kept on going, and going, and going breathing in the air until his whole body inflated to a ball!
Ruby's mouth just dropped straight to the floor in pure shock while Sabo was just amazed
"Does that hurt? Organic life isn't supposed to do that right?" the gem fearfully poked Luffy
"Ruby, its his devil fruit ability its not supposed to hurt right?" Sabo joined in the poking
Luffy wanted them to stop poking but he would deflated and not be cool anymore so the boy tried his best to fight the urge to laugh but he couldn't resist any longer and laughter bursted right out of him making all the air inside spewed out resulting him flying through out the air until he crashed face first in the tree.
Sabo and Ruby sped right over to the poor kid
"Human are you hurt at all!"
"Nope! I am fine Ruby I am a rubber man remember! Oh But isn't my move cool!"
Ruby gave a swift hit on the head "DONT SCARE ME LIKE THAT IDIOT! It was impressive but don't launch yourself to hit a tree next time"
Luffy reluctantly agreed "okaayy"
Sabo thought about Luffy's claim and what he actually saw "it is pretty cool that you can turn to a balloon; but I am pretty sure that move cant deflect everything."
"how do you know!"
"well I mean like not right now bu-"
" what do you mean right now!"
Sabo took a deep breath "Luffy your short."
"I am not!"
"Well ya you'll get taller and then-"
Ace just got out of the hut "What are you guys gawking about!"
"Oh ace your up! It's-"
"I could do a super cool move that can deflect anything!" Luffy interrupted
"Really? Show me!" Ace barked
"Ok!" And in a blink of an eye Luffy inflated
Ace rubbed his eyes in disbelief in what he was seeing "Deflect anything?!Bull! SQUARES ABILITY IS MORE USEFUL THEN TURNING TO A STUPID BALL" He proceeded to punt the rubber boy for the heck of it
Luffy wanted to say something but all the air would go out and he would crash into a tree again and he said to Ruby he wouldn't!
So the poor boy kept bouncing until he fell into a river and unexpectedly a giant crocodile ate him.
"CRAP!" Ace, Sabo, and Ruby charged straight at the crocodile and beat the ever loving crap out of the beast until it coughed up their idiot
"YOU HUMANS ARE STUPID!" Ruby gave Luffy another fist to the head
"OWWW!"
The gem angrily marched away from the group leaving a trail of fire "LET ME KNOW WHEN WE HUNT! I WANT TO KILL SOMETHING!" she could literally explode but humans weren't fireproof so she'll have to do it somewhere else
Xxxx
The three managed to find Ruby an hour later just laying on a heavily scorched up log
" Ruby aren't you going to join us for hunting!"
"FINE!" she sprung up from the burnt log and left with the group
The four of them manage to catch trail of bear
"When we find this earth creature I am going to beat the life out of it!"
"Pfft no I am! Then I'll be captain!" Ace proudly puffed out his chest
"What makes you say that?!" Sabo ran up from behind to join in the conversation
"Well it's simple who ever takes down the bear is the strongest and deserves to be the leader"
"Then I am going to be the one taking it down" jumped in Luffy
"the whole reasoning behind this is stupid! There is more then just strength to indicate a suitable leader"
"if the reasoning is stupid why were you challenging me!"
"I WAS NOT!"
"YES YOU WERE!"
"ALL I WANT TO DO IS BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF A BEAR! HOW DOES THAT INDICATE ME WANTING LEADERSHIP!"
Before they could even start fighting with each other the ground started to shake and the four children knew there prey is right in front of them
"FIRST ONE WHO KILLS THE BEAR IS CAPTAIN!" Ace then charged at the bear
Sabo just accepted it "I AM GONNA KILL IT FIRST!" The blond gave a hard kick to one of the beast legs
Luffy jumped in hitting the bear on the head "NU-UH I AM GOING TO BE CAPTAIN!"
"THIS DISPUTE OVER LEADERSHIP IS IDIOTIC!" Ruby took a big chomp on one of the hind legs and was promptly kicked by the bear
"ITS NOT! ITS A DISPUTE BETWEEN MEN" the three boys shouted
"YOUR A GIRL SO YOU WOULDNT UNDERSTAND" taunted Ace
"I STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT IS!" Ruby charged at the beast again but was swiftly wacked onto a tree by its ginormous paws.
The beast was just about ready to topple over, all it needed now was a final hit. Ace, Sabo, Luffy, and Ruby raced towards the bear. Luffy deciding it was a perfect time to showcase his power he stopped running in and dropped his pipe and got into a stance. He readied his fist and threw his fist for a punch straight at the bear but instead of hitting it like he imagined it just bounce off and hit a tree; instead of his fist stopping at the tree it ricocheted off it and hit Ruby from back of the head, Luffy's fist continued on its journey and hit Sabo square in the face which gave it more momentum and the traveling fist made its final stop hitting Ace when he was about to make the final blow on the bear. The poor beast took this opportunity and fled the scene.
Ace was peeved like you wouldn't believe! The brat just wrecked his chances of being captain by using his stupid powers! "WHY THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT!"
"I just thought it would be really cool to show my powers?!"
"THOSE FRICKING POWERS ARE USELESS!"
Luffy stomped his foot to the ground "THEY ARE NOT!"
"WELL IF THEY ARE SO USEFUL WHY DID YOU HIT ME IN THE FACE!"
"IT WAS AN ACCIDENT I DIDN'T MEAN TO"
"ACCIDENT MY REAR END!"
"I SWEAR IT WAS THOUGH!"
"CRY BABY!"
" JERK!"
"SCREW YOU!"
Luffy didn't know how to fire back with that insult he'd have to wing it "TAKES ONE TO KNOW ONE!"
"YOU CAN HUNT ON YOUR OWN THEN" Ace coldly turned away from Luffy
"I WILL!" Luffy turned from Ace and angrily puffed out air
For the next few days the boys completely ignored each other. This annoyed Ruby severely because if she went to talk to Ace, Luffy would give a type of look that would be described as a jealous glare and when abo came over to hang out with her and Luffy Ace yells out from a distance "traitor!". She cant stand it anymore she needs a way to get their squad together again
Maybe she could reason with Luffy to be a squad again? "LUFFY!"
" what?!"
"Our group needs to be a complete squadron again! We can't stay separated like this!"
"No! I'm not forgiving ace!" Luffy shut his mouth before he could say anymore
"Oh I-i see well forgive me human, I just sorta mi-"
"I MISS ACE TOO! I WAS STUPID!"
"Eh"
"I just wanted to show him I wasn't a wimp and that my powers were cool! But I am not apologizing because he was mean too!" Luffy started to frown really bad
"hey! Don't look sad uhhh -uh Let's just do some stupid human things" Ruby searched through her memory of what Luffy always laughed at. There was that one time when Ace tripped in mud and when Sabo was caught in his own trap? It seems humans laugh at the failure of intended plans of others?! Maybe she could fake the result of failure?
Ruby walked over to a near by puddle and took a deep breath " HEY LUFFY LOOK AT ME!"
"Huh? WHAT"
The gem slowly made step forward towards the puddle " I AM GONG TO CROSS THIS PUDDLE! I HOPE I DON'T FAAAALLL" As flamboyantly as Ruby could she fell face first in the muddy pool of water
"RUBY THAT WAS HILARIOUS BUT I DON'T FEEl LIKE LAUGHING RIGHT NOW! LET ME BE DEPRESSED"
Later that night Ruby stood guard over the sleeping human down stairs due to Ace not letting Luffy in. The thought of her group separated was eating her from the inside out. She tried so many things just to get those thoughts out of her head but they weren't going! Maybe Luffy can help? No that would make Luffy really sad. Maybe Ace? Not him certainty!
Sabo is the only option left then!
Ruby as quietly as she could made her way to the attic stepping over human after human until she made it to where Ace and Sabo were sleeping.
She needed a way to get Sabo to activate? How did Luffy and Ace do it? She remembered them gently shaking each other and saying their names, is that how they do it?
"Human, human?" Ruby nudged Sabo as gentle as a ruby soldier could
The boy unconsciously pulled the gems hand away "N-not now zebra"
Ruby tried again but it wasn't working; she was starting to loose her patience "Saboooooo" but Sabo was still ignoring her. Ruby was done doing things the human way!
Ruby grabbed his shoulder and did a hard push making Sabo rolling over crashing onto a wall
"GA-ah Ruby? Why did you wake me up?" The boy pinched his nose to prevent blood from flowing right out
"I need your help!"
Sabo just wanted to yell at Ruby for making him have a bloody nose but everyone was sleeping right now and he didn't want to get yelled at; the blonde decided he would get back to sleep faster if he helped Ruby out "Okay-okay-okay then let's talk out side I don't want to wake anyone up"
Ruby understood and the pair quietly made their way outside
"-And that's why I need your help"
This picked up Sabo's attention "Wait! Luffy feels sorry about punching Ace!"
"Ya and he won't apologize unless Ace does!"
"the funny thing is that Ace feels sorry about yelling at Luffy but he won't apologize unless Luffy apologizes"
"WHA-" the gem was quickly muteded by Sabo
"Shhhhhhhhh not so loud" the blonde cautiously let go of Ruby's mouth
"what are we going to do?" Ruby whispered as quietly as she could
"Those idiots wont apologize to each other anytime soon? I know! We'll make plan that will make them say sorry to one another!"
"That's brilliant Sabo!"
The pair thought long and hard with concept after concept through out the night until Sabo passed out.
Sabo bursted awake "I GOT AN IDEA!"
"GAH WHAT!"
Sabo quickly got a pen and paper and started scribbling down his plan and immediately stuffed the paper in his pocket.
"Ruby I have a plan but I can't let you in on it or else it wouldn't work, but when it is in action please,please, pleeeaasssee don't kill me!"
"Why would I want to kill you?"
"Believe me you will want to! But the plan is worth it"
Ruby didn't know why she would want to end Sabo's life but he does have a plan and she doesn't; she just has to trust the human that it's a good one
Days has passed and Sabo hasn't acted his plan at all! Ruby was growing afraid that Sabo wasn't going to do it at all! The gem was tensing up with more and more insecurities arising; she can't take it!
Ruby ran outside and plopped down to the forest floor; there she felt peace of just looking at the earth all around her and not all the tension with the humans. She felt she could breath again.
"Hi Ruby!"
"Oh hi Sabo! I thought you were hanging out with Ace"
"Oh? Ya I got lost, I was hoping that you might have saw him-!"the blond suddenly slapped something sticky on Rubys head and bolted
Ruby quickly investigated her hair to find the thing was cold, squishy, as well. She tried peeling it off but it really was painfull!
Sabo just put something on her head that she can't get off! Her body then began to heat up in the rising anger
"SABOOOOOO WHAT DID YOU PUT ON MY HEAD!" Her head began to heat what ever was on her head, but she didn't care she needed to be on hot pursuit of the traitor!
The blond sped right over to the bandits house where Luffy was sitting on the front yard
"SABO!" Ruby bursted straight out of the woods
Luffy picked up on an aroma in the air " Food!" the boy began to follow the gem
Sabo then lead the group in the woods to where Ace was impatiently waiting for him
"ACE! RUBY HAS GONE WILD AGAIN CANT TALK MUST RUN! Sabo ran again when Ruby bursted through the bushes, completely engulfed in rage
"What!" Ace grabbed his pipe and sped right on the pursuit to save his friend
Sabo tripped on the ground and Ruby closed in on him
"Ruby before you murder me look behind you!"
The gem turned her head to see Ace run in and Luffy immediately following. In a flash the gems anger turned to pure joy
"YOU LITTLE JERK DAHAHA!" Ruby pulled Sabo in a suffocating hug but then quickly dropping him to stop Luffy and Ace fighting like cat and dog
"What are you doing here!"
"I came for the meat and I am not letting you have any you-!" Luffy was suddenly interrupted by Ruby
"ENOUGH OUT OF BOTH OF YOU!" the Gem hit both of the idiots on the head
"The hell was that for!" Ace rubbed his head trying to make it go away
"That was for being an idiot! Both of you apologize to one another now! I am tired of living with a split squadron!" Ruby folded her arms and stomped her foot to the ground
"NO!" Both boys fired
Sabo decided this was going no where "Luffy; Ace regrets yelling at you earlier!"
"What?" Luffy was shocked
"TRAITOR I TOLD YOU TO SHUT UP ABOUT THAT!"
"And Luffy regrets letting the bear escape" Ruby added
"HEEEEY!" Luffy felt betrayal
"NOW BOTH OF YOU APOLOGIZE!" Sabo and Ruby wacked the pair on the heads
"Ace I am sorry about hitting you. I just wanted to show I was cool"
"I guess ..I am sorry too."
Sabo and Ruby took a breath of fresh air; all that tension is now gone.
Luffy ran over to Ruby"Hey Ruby can I have that steak on your head!" Luffy's mouth drooled
"Wait that's what's on my head!"
"Ya sorry about that Ruby." Sabo nervously laughed
"Honestly I don't care as long as it's out of my hair!" Ruby could have beat the crap out of Sabo but she didn't want anymore strife so for now she let go of her anger
"YOSH!" Luffy climbed up ruby's hair and peeled off the steak "awwwe it has hair on it" the boy with all his will chucked the meat into the woods remembering what Makino taught him what he was supposed to eat and not eat " SORRY MEAT FORGIVE ME! IT JUST WASN'T MEANT TO BE" Luffy fell over in Ruby's afro and screamed in grief and disappointment
Sabo and Ace just looked to Luffy in shock of how passionate he could be over meat.
"What!" Luffy gave them a death glare
Sabo snapped out of it "O-oh right sorry. Anyways we can't let our group just split up over stupid arguments like earlier! our bond is much stronger then that"
The group collectively agreed that this shouldn't happen anymore.
Luffy thought hard about a solution "Maybe we can stick onto each other with glue or rope?"
"Luffy that would hurt" Sabo huffed out
"Oh right "
"We should all wear a uniform! That's how the diamonds create unity between common gems!"
"NO WE ARE NOT MARINES!" Ace gave a fist to Ruby's head "I have a better idea! meet me at the stump tomorrow morning"
"Well what's the idea!"
"Just trust me ok!"
"Ruby we literally have nothing to do tomorrow and we got nothing to lose the worst that can happen is that we fall in a river or eaten by a bear; which we do about every day!"
"fine!"
The very next morning the trio patiently waited for Ace to come out of the hut
Sabo was really bored " what do you think his plan is?"
"Well a Ruby manager always keeps soldiers in check? Maybe he is getting Garp?"
"NO WAY IN HELL!"
"Ruby! Ace does not have a death wish"
Ace ran straight out of the hut with a bottle and cups in his hands "hey guys!"
"Oh hi human! What is with the containers?"
"This is sake! I stole it from Dandan"
Even Sabo was left scratching his head "What's the deal with the sake Ace?"
"Well I heard that those who drank sake together become brothers and you guys did say our bond was stronger then a friendship! this way our bond would never be broken no matter what we do or where we go" Ace laid out the sake cups on the stump and began pouring
"Wait what are brothers?"
Ace closed the bottle and looked at the gem in disbelief "Seriously Ruby how could you not know?!"
" I just don't!"
Sabo decided to clear the confusion up with Ruby "Well brothers are like a friendship but waaaaay stronger! They always have eachothers backs no matter what and be there for eachother and no matter what their bond can't be broken!"
Ruby was in awe of this! Such a thing exists!
"Well come on guys bottoms up" Ace grabbed the cup and quickly drank the sake
Sabo and Luffy immidiatly followed drinking the sake dispite the bitterness
All that remained was Ruby
"Come on Ruby drink it already!"
"Oh I am sorry human it's just... I never drank any fluid before" Ruby still gazed at the cup nervously
"Ruby doesn't our bond mean anything to you?!" luffy stomped his foot impatciently
"ARRGGG YES IT DOES" without a second thought Ruby drank the alcohol and was left with a shiver down her spine
"See it wasn't that bad" Sabo patted Ruby on the back
Then all of a sudden Ruby combusted with blue flames
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH HOT HOT HOT HOOTTT" Ruby ran all around trying to stop the sparatic flame coming out of her from rolling on the forest floor to blowing on herself like a birthday candle nothing was working
"RUBY CANT YOU STOP YOUR FIRE LIKE BEFORE?! WHAT ARE YOU PISSED AT"
"I AM NOT PISSED AT ANYTHING I JUST BURSTED! I CANT CONTROL IT!"
"JUMP IN THE RIVER STUPID!" Ace yelled out
"RIGHT" the gem leapt in the river and the stream almost instantly started boiling
Ace, Sabo, and Luffy ran towards the river where Ruby crawled out with smoke steaming out of her
"Are you ok!"
"That was horrible! I will never drink anything like that again!"
"But we are brothers now so it isn't that bad right!" Luffy added
"you have a point there !" the gem quietly laughted. That burst of energy took so much out of her but Ruby was happy that this new bond would be stronger then the last
Sabo noticed something was off with Ruby's gem "Ummm Ruby is it normal for your gem to glow like that?"
"Huh what?" She looked over to her gem "WHAT THE! MAKE IT STOP! MAKE IT STOP!" She tried shaking her hand to make the glowing go away but it just stayed!
"WHAT DO I DO?!" Ruby began freak out
"I DONT KNOW" if Ruby was freaking out about her gem glowing like that, that means it should be something that all of the group should be concerned about! Sabo didn't know how to help their new brother
"Maybe we should hit it to make it stop!" Luffy suggested
"NO WAY! DO YOU WANT TO KILL ME!" Ruby tried taking deep breaths to keep cool but none of it was working!
The gem began to tear up "I DON'T WANT TO DIE YET I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS ABOUT HUMANITY! ILL NEVER KNOW WHAT A GIRL IS OR WHAT EVER WEIRD HUMAN STUFF IS OUT THERE!"
"WE WONT LET THAT HAPPEN RUBY" Sabo yelled out
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT! I AM GOING TO FREAKING BLOW UP OR WORSE"
"I DON'T KNOW BUT WE'LL FIGURE IT OUT TOGETHER! We are brothers now! Your problem is our problem too"
the gem wiped away her stupid tears "really?"
Ace walk over and gave Ruby a wack on the head "Ya you idiot!"
They were right! They would face this weird gem glow thing together!
After Ruby's great realization something burst right out of Ruby's gem and struck a nearby tree, her gem immidiatly stopped glowing
"What the?!" Ruby and her new brothers went to the tree the object hit
"What is it?" Luffy tried to peak over
"It's a pipe?" Ruby pulled the strange object out of the tree. It had a red tint to it much like her and little gems studded around the connectors. She just summoned a weopon! She always thought that high level and rare gems could only do this? But she just did? How? She has so many questions now! She needs to sit down.
