I do not own One Piece but I do own this plot!
Ace decided to break the silent stare off. "Who the hell are you two?" Barsalino and Aokiji blinked at the boy's crud way of speaking.
Aokiji stood deciding to take the lead. "I'm a marine admiral Aokiji I'll be one of the marines training you three brats."
Sabo turned his eyes to the Italian looking guy. "I'm Barsalino also a marine admiral and I'll be helping with the training. All the admiral have a logia type devil fruit as well."
Luffy grinned eyes sparkling. "I have a devil fruit too! I'm a rubber man now! But I'm not very good at controlling it. But I'll get better and my punch will be as strong as a pistol!"
The two admirals stared at the little energetic kid surprised. He was very different from many of the marines. He was overly happy and talkative. Nothing like a marine.
Aokiji chuckled shaking his head. "This boy is going to through the marines into chaos!"
Ace and Sabo both smirked at the two marines. Sabo decided to enlighten the marines to what they got themselves into. "Luffy is a trouble magnet! No matter where you take him trouble seems to just find him, he's also a bottomless pit, and not the brightest crayon in the box."
Ace looked at them smugly crossing his arms. "You lot picked up something very troublesome you should know that."
Sengoku sighed pinching the bridge of his nose "If he's anything like his grandfather then I have an idea of how troublesome he'll be in the future. Haah seems like we picked up another Garp."
The old man laughed munching on some rice crackers. "I love you too Senny! We know you enjoy my company."
Sengoku glared at him before sighing knowing it was no use trying to argue with the man. "Whatever everyone you've met now get out of my office! Boys your training starts tomorrow at eight in the morning do not be late!"
The two admiral made their way out of the room. Luffy looked at his brothers confused. "When is it eight?" They both shrugged leaving the office.
Garp watched the boys leave and turned to his old friend. "Sengoku do you think this will work? Will it keep those three boys safe?"
Sengoku laced his fingers in front of him and sighed. "I don't know Garp but it should keep them safe until their strong enough to protect themselves. As long as their marines and don't cause too much trouble there should be no reason for anyone to look into them."
Garp nodded sighing deeply. "I hate having to force them into something they don't want but it's to keep them safe."
The raven nodded. "It will also be a great asset to the marines for the time being. Once those boys get trained up they'll be destroying pirates left and right. I'm thinking of making them a special marine unit so that way they don't have to work with others. They would only have to take orders from me and the world government."

Sabo stood glaring at his two brothers. They were glaring right back. "You two are going to take a bath whether you like it or not! I refuse to sleep next to you filthy things! You smell and are gross."
Luffy stuck his tongue out at the blonde. "No way! I don't want to take a bath it makes me feel tired and I hate it!"
Ace nodded. "Plus we look fine just the way we are I don't want to look like some clean posh bastard!"
Sabo shot them both an irritated glare. Luffy gulped sweating nervously. Ace looked away also looking nervous. "You two ARE going to bath whether I have to drag you in kicking and screaming or if you go willing it's up to you."
Both boys grumbled in anger as they followed the grinning blonde into the bathroom. Sabo smiled happy with himself and started getting the tub ready.
It filled with water quickly and the boys stripped jumping into the water. Luffy leaned against Sabo looking tired and feeling weak. The blonde shook his head before lathering up the raven's hair.
Ace floated on his back in the water glaring at the ceiling. Sabo pulled him over putting shampoo in his hair and rubbing it in. Ace relaxed into his brother's touch actually enjoying the feeling.
Sabo grinned seeing both the ravens loosening up and enjoying the water. "Close your eyes you two or you might get soap in your eye." He rinsed their hair out and the three laid back in the warm water.
Luffy looked at his brothers hesitantly. "Ne, Ace, Sabo are you sure this is what we should be doing? I mean this isn't our dream, I wanna be pirate king! Ace wants to be recognized and be better than his dad. Sabo wants to write about his adventures. Shouldn't we be fighting for our dreams and not going along with this marine stuff?"
Both brothers looked at their youngest brother in shock. Sabo sighed wrapping his arms tighter around the raven. "Lu as it is right now we're not strong enough to protect each other, we plan on staying with the marines long enough to get strong then we'll ditch this place."
Ace nodded his agreement. "We want to make sure we're the strongest one's here before we leave. We need to make sure we can protect you from anything that wants to harm you! So if we have to play marine until then well that's what we'll do."
Luffy grinned nodding. "Alright! I understand! We're only here for a little while right?"
Both brother nodded. Sabo decided they had been in long enough and stood pulling Ace and Luffy up with him. "Come on let's get dressed and go to bed we have a long day ahead of us tomorrow."
His brothers gave no argument. They all got dried off and piled onto the two beds getting into their usual sleeping arrangement with Luffy in the middle, Ace on the outside, and Sabo against the wall. The three brothers were soon out like a light.
-(Break)-
The brothers were once again startled awake by the door slamming open. Ace and Sabo stood in front of Luffy protectively even thought they were half awake.
Garp stood at the door grinning. Aokiji and Barsalino were right behind him looking almost just as tired as the boys. Ace groaned flopping back on the bed not wanting to move.
Sabo sighed moving to get dressed and ready for the training. The three boys stood out in a field the two admirals in front of them. Garp stood off to the side to watch the training.
Aokiji stepped towards Luffy. "Littlest brat you're with me from now on until you learn to control your powers. I'll teach you how to utilize your devil fruit to its fullest, then you can join your brothers and we'll train all three of you together."
Ace and Sabo both didn't like that idea at all. They didn't want to be separated from their baby brother in enemy territory. Aokiji noticed the hostile air around the two.
He held his hands up to try and pacify them. "Hold on don't get upset yet, how about I make sure we're always in view, will that be better for you two?"
Ace stilled didn't like the idea but he agreed along with Sabo. They both rather be able to see there brother then not be able to. Luffy grinned at the two. "Shihihi! Ace and Sabo are weird!"
Barsalino chuckled. "Those two are so scary~ well then boys we'll be working on building up your endurance so you two will spare against each other for the first hour, then do endurance training, then you both will be sparing with me for another hour before more endurance training, you'll finish up with sparing with each other."
Ace and Sabo looked at each other in dread. Their training regime would be deathly. They both knew they were going to be hurting at the end of the day. Luffy snickered at his older brother dismay.
Aokiji tapped him on the head. "Come on kid we're going to be working on your aim. Every one you miss you'll have to run around the outskirt of the field and dodge my attacks."
Luffy groaned which caused Ace and Sabo to smirk in his direction. The two split off onto separate end of the field. Luffy looked at the target determined to hit it and not have to run.
The young raven swung his fist around wildly and through it at the target. He missed by a long shot managing to hit Garp in the face. Garp screamed. "Luffy you little brat!"
Luffy snickered quietly to himself. Aokiji stood. "That's one miss, get going straw hat." Luffy took off running Aokiji close behind. He formed a small ice pebble and attacked the boy. Luffy rolled to the side to dodge looking panicked as the small rock managed to indent itself into the ground.
He jumped up running again and yelped when he felt the pebble hit him in the arm. His arm now had a small bruise on it. Luffy jumped forward avoiding another pebble.
Luffy managed to get back to the starting point with only being hit four times. Each time left a small bruise when the pebble had hit. The raven rubbed his arms frowning at the bruises.
Aokiji watched the boy go to hit the target but stopped him. "Wait, you have no form and you're just wildly swinging your arms, you're not trying to hit the actual target."
Luffy looked back at him confused. The ice logia stood and got into a fighting stance. "Try getting into your stance, keep your feet even with your shoulder and raise your fist up slightly then turn your body towards the target."
The young raven moved into the correct stance. He looked at the target and pulled his fist back before letting it fly forward. He came within inches of the target.
Luffy looked at the man excited. "Did you see that? I almost hit it that time! I got so close!" Luffy was ecstatic about almost hitting the target.
Aokiji nodded. "Your problem is you lose focus easily and lose your stance when you go to fight, if you can keep up the form you should be able to hit targets easier."
Luffy nodded before turning and taking off to run the circle. Aokiji through the pebbles at him and noticed the boy got hit four times out of eight just like last time he ran.
-(Break)-
Sabo let his eyes drift over to Luffy and was surprised to see the young boy get so close to hitting the target. "Oi Sabo! You're not supposed to take your eyes off your opponent!"
The blonde jerked back avoiding Ace's fist. The raven quickly shot forward hitting the blonde in the stomach. Sabo grumbled rubbing his sore stomach and glaring at the smug raven.
Sabo glared and shot at Ace while he was off guard. He punched the boy in the chest and kicked his legs out from under him. Sabo smirked looking down at him. "You should never let your guard down around an opponent."
Ace smirked and kicked Sabo's leg out from under him making him fall to the ground. Ace climbed on top of him pinning him. Sabo grunted then flipped them over. Ace got his leg under the blonde and kicked him back away from him.
Barsalino watched the two kids spar and had to admit they were really good. They lacked strength and coordination but they could easily take on some of the lower ranked marines around here.
The two were almost on par with each other but Ace was slightly stronger and better than Sabo. Barsalino chuckled at the strength the two kid possessed.
After the hour was up for sparing Ace and Sabo were both panting and covered in bruises. Barsalino nodded. "Alright now you'll each run ten laps around the clearing, three hundred push up and two hundred sit up, then ten more laps around the clearing."
Ace and Sabo both groaned in despair. They took off running around the clearing. Sabo panted. "This is tough, we're only ten freaking years old! We're not some kind of monsters!"
Ace nodded his agreement sweat dripping off both of their faces. "This is definitely a tough training regime but I can't deny that this will help us get stronger."
Sabo groaned and pushed himself to keep running. Ace and him stayed neck and neck the whole ten laps. They fell into a heap after finishing the laps. Both were breathing heavily and sweating buckets.
They looked over to see Luffy wasn't much better than them. Ace and Sabo felt a flare of anger at seeing the bruises covering the boy's body. "Oi you two aren't done yet, three hundred push up each come on we don't have all day you know."
They groaned from pain and quickly got into position. Ace glared at the ground. "These two are freaking demons!" Sweat was steadily dripping off their body. They both took their shirts off when it got too hot.
All three boys were dripping in sweat after their training was done. They laid in a heap not able to move, covered in bruises and cuts. Ace groaned pushing himself up. "This was hell!"
The two admirals chuckled turning and leaving the clearing. "You all should eat then go rest, we'll meet here tomorrow for the same training don't be late."
The boys moaned from pain all three dreading the next day to come. Sabo sighed thinking. 'I don't think we can survive any more of these training sessions!'
