I do not own One Piece but I do own this plot!
Makino was sobbing. It had been a little over a month and there was still no word on the boys. She held a den, den mushi in her hands hesitating. Sabo had said not to say anything to his brother but he didn't say anything about anyone else.
Makino nodded and quickly dialed a number. It rang a few times before someone picked up. "Who is this? You better have a good reason for calling me?"
The green haired bar maid let a sob escape. "S-Shanks, there's been a huge problem!"
The man on the other end raised his hand to silence everyone. They party went silent all eyes on him. "Makino calm down and tell me what happened?"
The name caught the teens attention who was sitting in front of the red haired man. Makino sobbed again. "I, It's Luffy! Him and his brother Sabo were taken by slavers a little over a month ago and there's been no sign of them since then! What do I do Shanks?"
Shanks and many other jumped back when the raven burst into flames. The freckled teen snatched the snail from Shanks. "What the hell do you mean Sabo and Luffy were taken? Why the hell hasn't anyone told me about this?"
Makino gasped in shock. This was bad, she had failed to do as Sabo wished. "Ace you weren't supposed to hear any of that!"
Ace was positively fuming. "Makino what's going on with Sabo and Luffy? Where the hell are my brothers?"
Makino let out another sob. "They were taken by slave traders and no one's been able to find them since! No one told you about it because Sabo made me promise that I wouldn't tell you! He didn't want you giving up your dream looking for them."
Ace cursed loudly standing up. "My dream means nothing when it comes to my brothers! I can accomplish my dream at any time! My brother will always come first!"
Ace slammed the snail closed and turned to the opening. "We're leaving now! I need to go find my brothers."
Shanks did nothing to stop the teen from leaving. Once the hot head was gone he picked the receiver back up and dialed the women. "Men I want you to get all of our allies searching ever slaver ship they find!"
Ben went to do as was told and started calling up all their allies. Someone precious to them had been taken and they would get him back!

Sabo leaned against the bars of the cell. Luffy had his head in his lap sleeping. They were both weak and covered in wounds. They weren't the best prisoners so they were very well acquainted with the red room.
Luffy opened his eyes suddenly looking up to the blond. "Hey Sabo do you think we'll ever be free again?"
Sabo clenched his fists eyes blazing in anger. He nodded confidently. "Of course! I know for a fact one day we'll be free! We can never lose hope that we'll be free."
Luffy grinned nodding. Sabo ran his hand through the matted raven locks. "Go back to sleep for a while. We'll be docking in Sabaody soon."
The raven boy nodded closing his eyes. Sabo sighed leaning his head back against the bars. Their situation was looking very grim.
Sabo looked over when he heard chuckling. It was that damn old man again. The blonde narrowed his eyes. "What is it now old man?"
The man looked at him his eyes dead. "Giving the boy false hopes like that is cruel, it's a known fact that once you get sold then it's all over! You'll never be free again!"
Sabo slammed his hand into the bars. "Just because you've lost hope doesn't mean we have! We have people looking for us! We have a vice admiral that will stop at nothing to find his grandsons!"
The old man just continued to laugh at them. Sabo grit his teeth in anger. He couldn't lose hope that one day they'd be free.
The slavers came into the room. "Get up boys your trip with us ends here! We've made it to sabaody and its time for you boys to get some new masters."
Sabo shook Luffy awake standing up. He stood protectively in front of his little brother and Luffy clung to him. They followed the slavers off the ship.
The walk to the auction house didn't take long. The leader stood in front of the auction house owner. "Hey there Disco-san I brought two good pieces today! The young boy here is a devil fruit user and the blondie is an ex noble."
The man Disco's eyes gleamed. "Oh my these are two very rare pieces we'll take them!" Sabo was pissed these men acted like they were property! They disregarded the fact that they were human.
The two brothers were lead into the cell area. Luffy looked to Sabo worried. "Sabo I'm scared, what if we get separated?"
Sabo felt fear shoot threw him, he honestly hadn't thought about what would happen if they got separated. He tightened his grip on the young boy. "I won't let them separate us Lu don't worry I will protect you!"
Luffy nodded. He has gotten timider over the past month and a half. He was quieter as well. The slavers had taken a liking to beating him as often as they could.
The two watched as person after person got taken to the stage to be sold. Soon it was just them. A man walked forward. "Both of you get up, your being sold together let's go."
"Next we have a treat! They come as a pair! The younger is a devil fruit user with rubber powers and the blonde next to him is an ex noble from the goa kingdom! Both boys can be used for all kinds of things! Labor, entertainment, and much more! Let's start the bidding at 200,000 beli!"
Luffy clung to Sabo tighter he didn't like any of this! He didn't want to be a slave! He didn't want to lose his freedom! He was scared and just wanted to be back at MT Corvo with Ace and Makino and all the others. He wanted to go home!
Sabo was disgusted as the bidding went higher until a woman stood. "1,000,000 beli!" The blonde could feel dread fill him. This woman wasn't just a normal noble she was a celestial dragon.
All bidding stopped when the woman made her bid. She was actually quite beautiful with long blonde hair. She sat next to a fat man with snot dribbling done his nose.
Disco finally snapped back into reality and pointed to her. "Sold to miss Roseline!" Sabo looked over and got pale. That man was the same one who had shot him down when he was younger.
He couldn't believe they were being sold to a celestial dragon who was related to the same dragon who had almost killed him.
The brothers were dragged off of stage and the woman stood to get her two new slaves. Roseline walked forward and grabbed Luffy's face making his look at her. She nodded happily and looked at Sabo. "Hmm you would be better if you didn't have that burn scar but I'll be sure to fix that later!"
She turned on her heels. "Follow me we're done here it's time for us to go home come along."
Sabo and Luffy were pushed forward and had no choice but to follow the woman. Luffy rubbed his cheeks from when the lady had grabbed him. Sabo could finally feel his hope slipping away. He didn't know how they would ever get free. There was beginning to be no hope.
