Nami POV

We heard shouts from behind the wall, we was hiding behind. I heard my captain calling from behind; of course she would cause trouble. And guess what she does, she doesn't only get herself in trouble but she made the marines hide us. Great, just great.

I ran with the others running behind me. Luka caught up, she looked at me, fear was shown in her eyes. FEAR! Something I never thought would ever be in her eyes. What could this small town cause my captain fear? Can't be the marines since we fight them all the time, what could cause it?

"Nami, we had to set sail" came from Luka. Did I just hear her, Luka; give a reasonable order for the first time? First there was fear in her eyes and now she's finally acting like captain, has hell frozen over?

All of us were on the ship, ready to leave. Luka was jumpy, trying to make things faster. What exactly caused this?

*crash*

All of my thoughts were interrupted when a half-naked man jumped on the ship, right behind Luka. He wrapped his hands around Luka, she slowly turned her head.

"Who are you?" Vivi said, she was by my side watching the action taking place.

"Hello, I'm Ace, please to meet you" the said Ace greeted politely.

"He-llo Ace" Luka said with a little bit of fear behind it.

"What are you doing to Luka-Chan~" said the love stuck cook.

The man, Ace, turned his head around and set his deadly glare at Sanji, who just stared back. "I'm here to pick my sister up."

"SISTER!?" we all said in unison.

"You can't take our captain" said the calm Zoro.

Somehow Luka gotten out of his arms and stood in front of Zoro and Sanji. I had no clue how she done that, Ace looked like he wouldn't let lose his grip at all. Maybe she slim out of his hold, can rubber do that?

"Ace, I'm not going back home" she declared.

Ace looked a bit sadden at that statement, "Luka, I came here to get you. I'm not leaving till you're with me." He relaxed on the bench, laying his head back. Her brother was just as stubborn as she is. I thought he was polite, different from Luka.

"Guess you're joining the crew!"

"Can't, I join Whitebeard's crew" he stated proudly. He turned his back and showed us his tattoo, the same one we seen in the marketplace earlier that day.

Normal POV

Ace lay back on the bench but something caught his eye. The something was on Luka, not a item she should even have, a ring. "Luka, where did you get that ring?"

She jumped in front of him and looked down at the ring, her promise ring. "Shanks gave it to me. Nami said it had to do with engagement."

"SHANKS!" Ace shouted. 'How could my sweet sister ever be that pirate's wife? He's gonna pay for it, corrupting her mind. Damn Shanks!'

Somewhere in the South Blue

A red-haired pirate, Shanks, sneezed at a comment.

Back to the ship

"Luka-Chan~" moped Sanji. He was sitting in the corner crying about his Luka-Chan. He couldn't believe his ears when Luka told them about the ring. Sanji just thought it was a accessory, it matched her so much, that he didn't ask about who she gotten it from. Chopper, the new crew-mate, looked around like everyone was crazy, not understanding the subject.

Vivi stared at the hat-wearing pirate. "Luka you're engage? I'm so happy for you"

While the crew was cerebrating/moping, a brother was setting anything in his path on fire. "Luka, you can stay for right now. I'm looking for two people, both on the death list." Yep, Shanks been added to Ace's death list.

"Bye Ace!" she called back. She was happy he wasn't taking her away. Maybe the promise ring was magic and kept unwanted things to happen, since Ace did leave when she showed him the ring.

But Luka couldn't think anymore when a hand from behind grabbed her. They pulled her into the dragon's den, girls' room. "Luka, you have to tell all about it" said Vivi.

"About what?"

"About your ring, your engagement to Shanks."

"Oh, you mean that. Shanks gave it to me when we last left. He made me promise to became his pirate queen, which was weird since he already made a promise with his hat. Now all I have to do is eat horse meat with him!"

"Horse meat?" asked Nami. She was also sitting by Vivi, across from Luka.

Vive hopes went down with Luka's summary of hr engagement. "Luka, do you really know what engagement means?"

"Yeah, Nami said it's about a ring and love" Luka replied.

Vivi was glad that Luka knew that much. But the rest of the night didn't go to well for the three girls. It took them hours till Luka finally seem to get a little grip on the subject. "So it's when you get a mystery feeling to someone and you kiss them."

With that said, the two girls (Nami and Vivi) felled back on their bed and went to sleep. Luka just stared at them confused but she was happy she finally knew about why she acted upon Shanks when he gave her that ring.

Kinda short, I didn't really have Ace do much or had a long talk with Vivi. I really didn't have any other purpose for Ace, other than to swear to kill Shanks and get the other Straw-hats know about Luka's ring. Vivi's talk wasn't long since I didn't know what else to say about 'love'. But Luka finally knows about that weird something to Shanks and marriage, after like 10 (I don't know) chapters. Next chapter is after taking down Mr.0, where the girls have a day trip, not ending well for Luka. Need some suggestions on the next place I should write about Shanks and Luka getting together (like after finding One Piece or sometime before). Please leave suggestions and reviews
