I do not own One Piece but I do own this plot!
Also I'm giving half the credit for the plot of this story to Bileth since they helped me with some of the idea's for this story!
Ace pulled Sabo and Luffy up on the sand. The three were coughing trying to get the water out of their lungs. "Damn Sabo was that really the only plan you could come up with?"
Sabo rolled his eyes at his brother. "At least it got us out of there! We need to hurry and get back to the marines, Sengoku is not going to be happy with us we not only failed but we revealed ourselves to others."
The freckled teen cringed knowing they were going to get their asses chewed out. Luffy was still clinging to his blonde brother. None of them have ever gotten that close to dying before.
Ace noticed Luffy's mood and pulled the boys into his arms. "Don't worry Lu nothing like that will ever happen again, I'm sorry we weren't able to keep you safe."
Luffy shook his head sniffling. "I wasn't scared to die! I I was scared of being separated from you and Sabo! I don't ever want to be alone ever again!"
The two older brothers felt love rush through them sometimes their youngest brother was just too innocent for his own good.
Ace stood pulling Sabo up with him and Luffy. "We should hurry back the longer we stall the worse our punishment is going to be." The other two nodded and the group made their way back to marine HQ.
-With the Whitebeard pirates-
Marco was slightly confused about why the crew all seemed to be in such a gloomy mood. "Alright what did I miss while I was passed out, yoi?"
Izo sighed shaking his head. "You got a good look at the young boy correct?" Marco nodded he noticed the kid was too young to be a marine.
"Well the rest of our siblings had thought the boy was a normal marine, they had no idea it was only a small child so pops and Thatch both almost killed the boy and now they're feeling guilty and the others are all in a bad mood because the cheered the two on." Marco nodded now understanding the situation.
The first division commander sighed and smacked Thatch over the head. "You two need to stop with the mopping if you feel bad for what you did then we'll find the boys and apologize, yoi."
Thatch pouted rubbing his sore head. "You should have seen it Marco! The little one was so scared of us! I feel so horrible being the reason such a small kid was so scared! Ugh!"
Marco knew it was probably tearing his brother and father up knowing they had caused the boy so much suffering. Those two liked kids the most in the group and so it was understandable they were sulking.
Whitebeard sighed. "I have decided I'm going to send a few of you on a mission, I want you to find those three brats and bring them here so I can apologize for my action and ask them to join our family."
The group cheered loudly. "Marco, Thatch, Izo, and Haruta you four will go and find the boys try to bring them back within a month but don't put yourselves at risk."
The four commanders nodded. Haruta was excited it was his first mission off the Moby Dick. The commanders split up to go and pack their things they'd be leaving first thing in the morning.
-Marine HQ-
Ace, Sabo and Luffy stood in front of Sengoku with blank faces. The man was currently chewing into them for failing.
Sengoku sat back in his desk. "I'll give you boy one more chance to get Marco the phoenix, if you fail then I'll be forced to take extreme action against one of you." His eyes lingered on Luffy causing Ace and Sabo to tense up.
They both knew what the fleet admiral was insinuating if they didn't bring the phoenix back then the man was going to hurt Luffy somehow.
They turned leaving the office. Ace glared in front of him. "This is it you two we're leaving tonight! I don't care if we're not stronger than all the admiral at the moment! That man threatened Lu directly we can't stay here!"
Sabo nodded his agreement. "Your right because there's no way we could capture the phoenix they aren't stupid they won't fall for the same trick twice and besides I want Luffy nowhere near them!"
Luffy grinned brightly he didn't know why his brothers were so worried about Sengoku but he didn't care if it meant they were leaving this place!
They got to their room closing the door behind them. Sabo sighed looking over a map. "We need to go hide somewhere, stay low for a few years until we're no longer a thought to the marines."
Ace nodded in agreement. Luffy grinned looking over his brother's shoulder. "Why not go back home?"
Both brother shook their heads. That was a bad idea, Garp would look there first for them and drag them back kicking and screaming.
Sabo sighed lowly. "We should probably avoid Goa for right now Gramps will look for us there first."
Luffy made an o face when they mentioned Garp. "Shihihi! Gramps is going to be so mad when he finds out we left!"
The older two brothers paled at that. It didn't matter how strong they got. Garp would always scare the living shit out of them.
Luffy frowned suddenly. "Ne do you think the Giant old man will be looking for us too? Because we almost took one of his nakama?"
Ace groaned he hadn't thought of that. "Damn so not only will we have to deal with the marines but we'll also have to deal with those bastard!"
Sabo sighed then got a good idea. "Guy's instead of staying at one place why don't we travel all over the east blue before moving on to the other blue's that way we'll be constantly moving so it'll be hard for anyone to find us."
Ace nodded his agreement. Luffy pouted looking at the place where Goa was. "Before we do that I want to see Makino! I miss her and she doesn't even know how we've been! Please!"
Sabo had to admit he missed the woman as well. He looked over to the older raven. It was Ace's call because he was the leader in their little group. He called the ultimate shots.
Ace felt his eye twitch. He knew Sabo always said he was the leader but damn it to hell when Luffy knew how to get whatever he wanted! "Damn it Lu stop with the puppy eyes your killing me! We'll stop there just stop!"
Luffy cheered happy. Sabo chuckled sighing. 'That's right Ace may be the leader but no one can deny Luffy when he uses the eyes.'
Ace got serious again looking at both of his brothers. "Grab as little as possible we'll be leaving tonight!"
