Luffy, Sabo, and Ace were outside in the park eating steamed buns while sitting on an empty black bench. After going to five different malls, with Nami leading the way, and carrying over twenty bags, each, back to Nami's condo, they deserved a rest. Luffy was still a bouncing ball of energy even though he was carrying one hundred pound bags and walking over five miles, Ace was sleeping with his head thrown back and drool escaping the corner of his mouth as he snored, and Sabo was nodding off while slapping Luffy's hand from time to time when he tried to steal his steamed bun.
Luffy got up after finishing the rest of his buns (and Ace's) and started to run around the empty playground and swinging upside down on the monkey bars.
"How does he still have energy?" Sabo murmured to himself.
He felt a droplet of water hit his nose and glared at Ace, thinking his drool got on him, but then another droplet hit his eyelids. It wasn't long before a whole bunch of water poured down onto his and Ace's face and made them run to the nearest place for shelter, which was a superstore.
Luffy let out a relieved sigh. "Thought we were going to die out there!"
The three were trying to catch their breaths and have their minds catch up to their physical state. When they settled, they started to wander around the store and gasping at the size of the interior. There were rows of aisles with different things on the shelves ranging from food to furniture to clothing.
Luffy's nose twitched and drool started to escape his mouth. He started running toward the aroma of food and Ace and Sabo had to sprint just to keep up. Luffy stopped in front of a cart where there was a man making fried rice and giving out free samples. Luffy instantly jumped to the table, pushing customers aside, and ate all the samples.
"Luffy!" Ace and Sabo scolded. They smacked the back of their younger brother's head and dragged him to the side.
"What are you doing?!" Sabo scolded.
"I'm hungry~" Luffy whined.
"That doesn't mean you push everyone aside and take everything!" Sabo snapped. "Right Ace?"
"Yeah!" Ace scolded. "At least save some for your brother!"
Sabo swatted the older's head and then pinched the bridge of his nose. How was it that he was the only one with manners and a mind that wasn't clouded by food?
"Let's go somewhere else before we get kicked out for running over and tackling the customers," Sabo sighed.
Ace took four free samples and Luffy took six more free samples before they were forcefully dragged away by Sabo to another aisle. They were in the toys area and Luffy was basically playing with everything.
Luffy disappeared for a second and then popped back with three paintball-like guns. He pointed it at his two older brothers and gave a mischievous grin. "Sabo~ Ace~"
"What the-?!" Ace gasped. He tried to dodge the paintball that was speeding towards him by running down the aisle and trying to dive to the next section, however, the 'bullet' still got him on the back.
"Luf-!" Sabo scolded. Before he could finish, a paintball hit his chest.
Both older guys expected excruciating pain and bruises that would stay for weeks, but they felt nothing but a tiny tap. Ace walked back over to Sabo and they looked at Luffy in confusion.
"Got you!" Luffy laughed. The other two swatted his head. Ace started shaking Luffy by the collar and Sabo snatched the guns out of his hands.
"What are these?" Sabo asked.
"I don't know," Luffy shrugged. "I think they're called Color Guns!"
"You stained the back of my shirt, Luffy!" Ace snapped. He turned around and his white shirt was stained with a neon blue splat.
"Shihihi~ Sorry~" the younger chimed.
Sabo had to pry Ace off of Luffy before the older could get his hands around his neck. In the process, Ace grabbed one of the guns and shot Luffy's forehead. There was a large neon orange splat that stained a bit of his black hair, his upper eyelids, and half of his eyebrows.
Ace tried holding back his laugh but then just bursted. He was holding his stomach and pointing at his younger brother's face.
Luffy's cheeks were flushed with anger and embarrassment. He quickly snatched one of the guns from Sabo's hands and shot another 'bullet' at Ace, staining his cheek neon blue.
The two began to shoot each other but they both kept missing. Sabo tried stopping them by stepping in and trying to hold the guns. However, just as he stepped in, a 'bullet' from both sides hit his cheeks. His left eye twitched as he heard the other two laughing at him and in a flash, he shot both of his brothers before running to a different aisle.
"Person with the most splats loses!" Sabo shouted.
"And what does the winner get?" Ace asked nonchalantly. He didn't really care for an all-out war if there wasn't a worthy reward.
"… The losers have to do the winner's blackmail jobs that Nami assigns," Sabo said.
"Shihihi! And the loser has to serve the other two winners to the Baratie for a week!" Luffy shouted.
Sabo and Ace shivered and both thought there was no way they were going to allow Luffy to win.
"Che! I'm gonna make you do all of Nami's blackmail!" Ace shouted.
"Deal?" Luffy asked.
"Deal!" the other two shouted.
5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
"THIS IS WAR!" all three shouted simultaneously.
They all disappeared to the far corners of the store, laughing and hiding from employees and each other.
Sabo hid at the book section, knowing perfectly well that the other two weren't going to be near this aisle. After five minutes of waiting, he 'stealthily' started to walk to the food aisles by hiding behind (and freaking out) some customers and picking up random items and pretending to be a customer.
When he got there, he hid behind a cutout of a mermaid holding chocolates. He spotted Luffy who was holding his gun in one hand and in the other, he was taking samples from six different carts. He was skipping happily as he chewed the different cooked meats and his guard was down. Perfect.
Sabo aimed the gun at the boy but couldn't decide if he should go for another splat on his head, a splat on his chest, or a splat on his arm. He shrugged and closed his eyes before pulling the trigger.
There was three loud splats and then a whimper. Sabo opened his eyes and a neon green and orange splat stained the younger's wrist. Luffy was whimpering at the sight of the dropped food and then he glared around trying to find Ace and Sabo.
Ace was hiding behind the partly condensed, open refrigerator door and was laughing. He quickly wrote "Got you!" on the condensed glass before he scurried away.
Luffy spotted Sabo hiding behind the cutout and shot his shoulder before the older could run away.
Luffy started to run after Ace and Sabo ran after Luffy. The three of them stopped at the electronics section. They were surrounded by plasma screen TVs, laptops, tablets, gaming devices, and so on.
"This is our 17 inch laptop. We just got it into stores and the resolution is phenomenal! The pictures on the screen look 3D and it looks like it's going to pop out at you!" an employee said. The employee was trying to sell a $1000 laptop to a couple. "Like SPLA-!"
Suddenly a neon orange, blue, and green splat hit the screen scaring the employee but impressing the couple. The employee turned around to only see Ace, Sabo, and Luffy running after each other and shooting without aim. The 'bullet' hit the new TVs and other expensive electronics.
The three continued running as they continued to pull the trigger rhythmically. Eventually, they all split from each other and hid behind the electronics.
"You might as well come out Luffy 'cuz you're gonna lose!" Ace taunted behind a counter holding TVs.
"Shut up baka Ace!" Luffy spat.
Sabo was hiding behind a 50 inch TV and loading more 'bullets' into his gun. He then aimed it at his two brothers who were still bickering. "Both of you should give up!" He then pulled the trigger and a green splat appeared on their cheeks.
"Sabo! That's not fair!" Luffy complained. He unconsciously stood up from his hiding spot earning him multiple splats on his body.
Five minutes past after Luffy got shot and he and Sabo couldn't find Ace. The other raven head completely disappeared but before Luffy and Sabo decided to leave, Ace's freckled cheeks and nose popped up on all the TV screens, scaring the two of them.
"Muhahaha!" he shouted. His voice boomed through the speakers on every TV. "I'm going to win this and there's nothing you can do about it since you can't find me!"
Although Sabo and Luffy were on the opposite sides of each other, their eyes were twitching in anger at the taunts.
Sabo turned at a corner and found Ace looking at a camera and speaking through a microphone. His gun was leaning against a small counter and his ass was in the air as he looked into the camera. Suddenly a lost and confused Luffy appeared on the the opposite of Sabo and when he spotted the blond, he pointed and was ready to shoot.
"Shoot him!" Sabo mouthed while pointing at Ace's ass.
He was flailing his arms everywhere and repeatedly mouthing shoot him. Luffy just responded by flailing his arms everywhere and mouthing about how Sabo hit his cheek earlier. In a customer' or employee's prospective from afar, the two looked like high, headless chickens silently squawking at each other. In the end, the boy finally agreed with the blond and gave his trademark smile.
Both of them aimed their guns at Ace and then pulled the trigger until they used up almost two-thirds of their 'bullets'. Ace turned around and was greeted by a neon blue and green splat in his face. He was steaming with anger. The colors were dripping off his eyelids, making it look like smeared colorful mascara after somebody cried, his butt was stained green, and his shirt was barely white.
He jumped up and ran after Luffy and Sabo followed just to make sure Ace didn't somehow get his hands on a real weapon. They ran everywhere with Luffy giggling as he tried to stay out of Ace's reach.
They ran inside the mini aquarium and the clean, Windex wiped tanks were stained with colors within seconds, fish in the different sized tanks fled to the back of the plastic decorations, and almost every customer fled the scene.
Luffy finally stopped when his path was blocked by a huge fish tank that contained a whole bunch of tropical saltwater fish.
"Sabo~ Help me!" Luffy plead. "Ace is going to murder me!"
Sabo smiled and shrugged sheepishly. "I don't know~ We do have a deal after all."
Ace smirked and started shooting the younger who was trying to dodge as much as he can. Luffy was pouting and yelling at Ace to stop, but Ace was showing absolutely no mercy. In the end, Luffy tried climbing over the tank to get away, however, the tank's water began to swish back and forth and started to lean back.
Sabo and Ace immediately pulled the boy off of the dangerous glass that was waiting to break but as Luffy was dragged back down, so was the tank. The whole tank flipped over and the water soaked all three of them. Fishes were flopping all over the now wet floors and the salt water created swirly messes of colors on the floor and their clothing.
It was obvious what happened next. They got kicked out of the superstore. Thanks to Sabo's persuasion, they didn't have to pay for any damages since nothing actually broke and the fishes were saved.
"I swear… that is like the sixth store we have gotten kicked out of," Sabo huffed as he squeezed the excess water out of his shirt.
They all started to head home, dripping wet, and walking silently. If it didn't rain earlier, everyone on the streets would've stared at them in curiosity. It finally stopped raining just before the three were kicked out and the sun started to peek out of the dark clouds.
"So… who won?" Luffy asked.
"No one," Ace said. He pointed at all three of their clothing. "The water pretty much washed away all the colors."
"What?!" Luffy exclaimed. "I obviously won!"
"You were being shot by Ace… mercilessly, last time I checked," Sabo said.
"So?!" Luffy shouted. He pointed at the end of Ace's shirt. "He still has color on his shirt! He loses!"
"And you have colors stained in your hair and pants!" Ace snapped pointing at the younger. "That's more than me!"
The two started bickering again and started wiping their stained parts on each other. Sabo watched them and let out a frustrated groan. He was thinking about confronting them and getting them to calm down, but he didn't want to get involved with the mess they were creating.
The two were so distracted that they went from fooling around on the sidewalks to the streets. A car was speeding down the road and was about to hit the two raven heads but luckily Sabo pushed them back on the sidewalk.
Sabo let out a relieved sigh but when he turned to check on his two brothers, he couldn't help but burst into laughter. The two of them were sitting in a puddle of mud and their clothing was completely stained brown.
Sabo continued to laugh but stopped when he felt the murderous intent. He started to run as the two got up. The two raven heads started to chase the blond down the road while screaming and shouting.
Even though Sabo probably should've been worried about getting caught, he could only think about one thing.
It was obvious who won.
Omake
"Sabo… do you love me?" Luffy asked.
"U-u-um, yeah! Of course!" Sabo stuttered with his cheeks turning red.
"Then… WHY WON'T YOU HUG ME?!" Luffy shouted. He leaped from where he stood and tried to hug Sabo, but Sabo quickly dodged and started to run.
Ace smirked and laugh to himself as he watched Luffy whining with arms open and trying to get Sabo in them. The boy kept shouting after the blond and cooing how he wanted a hug from his big brother.
Eventually Luffy tackled the blond and they both fell down on grass. Luffy's muddy body was latching onto a horrified Sabo and he was rolling on Sabo. Luffy also rubbed his dirtied cheek on Sabo's face and hair. Grass and dirt stained the blond's shirt and face.
Luffy got off and gave one of his largest grins at the half unconscious, sputtering blond on the ground.
Ace was in hysterics when he saw his brother on the floor slightly stuttering and blending in with the dirt. However, he stopped when Luffy looked at him with a mischievous grin and his eyes twinkled. After five seconds, Ace was running all over the city trying to keep out of Luffy's reach.
In the end, let's just say every resident in the city got the wrong idea since Luffy kept repeatedly shouting, "WHY DON'T YOU LOVE ME?!"
Review! I don't care if it's like 5 words so R-E-V-I-E-W
