Hey guys sorry I've haven't updated my I had a big test to do in school last week and couldn't really work on my stories but I have a lot of breathing room now so please enjoy the next chapter.
It was that time of the year. The time Ace and Luffy dreaded.
"Why are you guys so gloomy?"
Lu and I were sitting in the corner, not sobbing but depressed that our gramps was coming. Gramps was like a hurricane you could take shelter from it would always find you no matter what.
"If you knew Sabo you wouldn't be asking that question to me but Lu the most."
Sabo turned to Luffy.
"What is Ace talking about Luffy."
Luffy shuddered at the idea of Garp or Gramps as we called him. Ace started to get protective of the idea of Garp throwing Lu into a ravine or a crocodile pit, then he got mad. Who throw a kid into a pit of crocodiles!?
Lu started to cling to Sabo and Him, but he didn't cry but started to sniffle.
"You guys would come and get me right?"
Of course I knew what he meant but Sabo made a questioning face at me for more explanation. I huffed and told him the little bit of how they had meet up to the point Lu had meet Sabo too, also mentioning the way Garp throws Lu into danger to make him tough.
Don't get him wrong Lu needed to toughen up and this Mountain was the ultimate test of survival but it was a bit excessive at times. Sabo nodded at Ace getting the point if he was mad Sabo didn't show it.
Sabo only smiled at Luffy.
"If your Gramps is coming I better introduce myself and help you survive him Luffy!"
Luffy smiled and hugged Sabo, while I shook my head. It's his funeral…*Sigh* Why did he always get dragged into these messes?
Dadan and the rest of the bandits were preparing for Garp's arrival...and what does this mean? It means that Dadan was always telling them not to tell Grap what they have been doing to them, in terms of working them at least(Chores) Which they never did.
It was the end of the week and Garp was late, he was supposed to be here yesterday. Ace grumbled.
"Why can't the Marines ever be on time?" .
"WAS WHAT THAT MY LOVING GRANDSON!"
Ace was hit on the head really hard, enough to make a good size lump. Luffy and Sabo started to panic, shaking Ace, who was lifting his hand up saying he thought the birds flying around his head were pretty.
"Ace stay with us!"
"NOO AAACCEE! HOW CAN YOU DO THAT TO ACE GRANDPA!"
"IF HE CAN'T TAKE A HIT THEN HE CAN'T BE A MARINE!"
Sabo was baffled as he continued to shake Ace until he rocketed up from his spot then proceeded to kick Garp right in the face. Ace was seething to say the least.
"BAKA! ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME!"
Grap only laughed at Ace's misfortune.
"You brat, if you known I was coming then you should've been prepared!"
It took everything that Sabo had to keep Ace from, Himself, getting the short end of the stick. Sabo furthered pulled Ace back as Ace was hurling swears at Garp. Garp with his aloof attitude shook the insult right off.
Ace calmed down enough to remember why he was here with Sabo in the first place, Ace looked around for Luffy when he noticed that Lu was laughing on the ground having the best time of his life. Ace raised a fist only for Sabo to hold him back for the second time.
"No Ace! We came to help Luffy, remember?!"
Ace smiled.
"I'll help him alright when my fist goes upside his head!"
Lu was no longer laughing but shaking in fear of Ace. If there was one thing scarier than Lu's Gramps is Ace when he is angry.
Luffy started to snot and cry as he ran away from Ace. Ace broke free from Sabo then proceeded to chase after Luffy, Sabo's eyes widen before he went after Ace.(What is this a scooby-doo chase scene XD)
After a few minutes of Luffy running he got lost...in a part of the forest that he didn't recognize. Luffy's mouth puckered and he start to sniffle.
"AACCEE! SSABBOOO!"
Luffy was starting to hear things and normally he wasn't scared but he was somewhere he didn't know. Luffy started to think of what Ace and Sabo would do, a lightbulb appeared over Luffy, he looked up at it before checking it to see if he could eat it, he couldn't.
Luffy remembered Ace telling him about where Marco was nested and decide to look for the birdie.
"MMAARCCCO! ARE YOU HERE!"
Luffy kept calling but didn't get a respond so he started to-. Luffy felt a swish of air then found himself bathed in a light blue glow. He looked up to see the bird and hugged him while starting to cry.
"I w-w-was so scared! I was running from A-ace and Sabo and-and we got separated and I was alone and-."
Marco was looking at the boy in his chest recognizing that this boy was Ace's brother who he had meet before. He lifted the boy onto his back with the help of the boy and flew into the sky. Luffy let out a scream of excitement and started to whoop.
Marco looked down to try to find the tree house that the boys built. Once he found it he landed on the flagpole, finding no one in. Marco let the boy down on the wood hopping down himself. Marco wrapped himself around the boy who need the comfort before finding the boy asleep a few moments later.
He remained awake just in case anyone came, whether it be anyone who saw him or Ace. It has been hours at the most before he heard any sound other than the boys snores, which was footsteps.
The small shadows he saw where Ace's and his brother. Then he heard "LU!" "LUFFY!" Ace and the boy came up to him as they started to check the boy for wounds. They breathed a sigh of relief. Ace looked angry then the look turned to worry.
"I'm glad your ok Lu…."
Ace and Sabo collapsed next to Marco as they had been searching all afternoon for Puffy after they had lost him.
Ace and Sabo fell asleep too as they nestled into Marco's feathers.
Next morning
Ace woke up with Macro and his brothers be his side, Ace was looking at his family of misfits but his nonetheless. He smiled, going back to sleep.
