I do not own One Piece but I do own this plot!
Luffy eyes were sparkling after Whitebeard had told him a story about the pirate king. "Wow that's amazing old man! You knew and fought with the pirate king! So cool!"
Edward Newgate laughed at the boy's enthusiasm. "So brat how old are you and your brothers?" Whitebeard was curious to find out since the boy looked so young.
"I'm eight! Ace and Sabo are both older than me though their eleven and really strong! But when I turn eleven I'll be even stronger than them! Our oldest brother is Law he's thirteen and is really funny!"
Whitebeard was shocked at knowing a group of kids were sailing around the east blue with no supervision. Even if it was one of the weakest sea's around.
Luffy sighed shaking his head. "I can't believe they got lost! One minute we were all together then I smelt meat and went to find it but the others got lost on the way over."
The old yonko couldn't help but laugh as the boy accused his brothers of getting lost. "LUFFY!" "Lu where are you?" "I'll clobber you in the head when I find you idiot!"
"Well looks like we found your brothers huh brat?" Luffy grinned nodding.
"Ace! Sabo! Law! Over here!" Soon the three brothers ran out of some bushes all looking relieved and angry.
Luffy jumped down to meet his brothers grinning stupidly. Ace growled hitting him over the head. "You idiot! How could you just run off like that? I swear if you do something like that again I'll hit you even harder!" Luffy pouted holding the bump on his head.
Law sighed smacking the boy over the head glaring as well. "You had us worried! We thought one of the animals ate you or something else happened! Be more careful next time."
Luffy was still pouting when it came to Sabo's turn. He sighed shaking his head. "Lu we were all really worried just be more careful next time."
The straw hat wearing boy nodding before grinning brightly. "Oh yeah you guys have to meet the giant old man! He's a pirate!"
The three boys paled just realizing they weren't alone. The older boys looked up at Whitebeard and were instantly on guard. They knew who the man was but couldn't understand why the strongest man alive was in the weakest sea.
Law pushed his brother behind him glaring. "What's a yonko doing here in east blue?" Whitebeard chuckled eyeing the four boys amused.
"I came to see the little brat that caused the red haired brat to lose his arm. I thought it would also be a nice vacation for my sons." Suddenly Marco and Thatch came out of the bushes.
Thatch panted heavily looking annoyed and pissed. "Don't just run off like that! What if something happened to you three?"
Marco looked almost as annoyed but stayed silent. Law smirked slightly and Ace glared. "Who care's you're not in charge of us we'll do as we like weirdo." Thatch felt a vein throb before sighing deeply.
The blonde commander noticed the older man and looked confused. "What are you doing here pops, yoi?"
Whitebeard chuckled before picking up the rubber boy. "This brat came running from a pack of boars and I decided to help him find his brothers." Marco nodded in understanding.
Ace growled warningly. "Oi! Drop Lu now! I don't trust you pirates so put my brother down!" Whitebeard chuckled setting the youngest down. Ace instantly wrapped his arms around the boy protectively not at all caring if he was embarrassed.
Whitebeard silently assessed the boys before grinning widely. "Your four, how would you brat likes to join my crew? Become my sons and roam the seas freely and wildly."
Ace and Law went to object instantly but were silenced by their blonde brother. "Old man Whitebeard can you give us a little time to talk about it?" Whitebeard nodded waving the boys off.
Sabo grabbed the two oldest wrists and dragging them away from the group Luffy right behind him. Ace glared at the blonde. "What the hell Sabo why did you stop us?"
The blonde sighed shaking his head. "Are you two stupid? Think a little would ya! Look we have dangerous people after us right now so our best bet would be to go with the old guy. He's the strongest man alive! Who's stupid enough to attack someone like him?"
Law nodded now understanding why the blonde stopped them. "Not only that but we can learn how to fight from the commanders and once we're strong enough we can set sail by ourselves."
Ace grumbled crossing his arms but he couldn't deny that the two were correct. Luffy grinned happily. "I like the giant old man! We should join! But I'm still going to be king of the pirates!"
The three oldest chuckled at their younger brothers antics. They walked back to the group of pirates. Law stepped forward stoic as ever. "We've talked and decided that we would like to join your crew for the time being."
Whitebeard chuckled nodding. "Very well then welcome to your new family my sons!" Luffy cheered happily while the other three were more tense and apprehensive.
Thatch grinned before turning around. "Alright let's hurry up and get back to the Moby it's getting late and I'm starving!"
Luffy's eyes sparkled at the mention of food and he cheered rushing after the fourth division commander. "Meat!"
Law followed behind before blurting out. "I hate bread!" Ace and Sabo both laughed at their older brother's weird hatred of bread. Thatch chuckled along with them.
"Don't worry I'll make sure to not give you any bread." Law nodded satisfied that he didn't have to eat any of the disgusting bread.
It didn't take the group long to get back to the giant ship belonging to the Whitebeard pirates. The four boys stared amazed at the ship in front of them. It was huge!
Law looked at the two seriously holding them back. "Make sure neither of you get attached we're only using them until we're strong enough to fight our enemies ourselves."
They both nodded in understandings. Sabo sighed watching as Luffy was quick to get close to the blonde first division commander. "I don't think we're the ones you need to worry about Law."
The oldest understood what Sabo meant and nodded keeping his eyes on their youngest brother. "Don't let your guard down either we don't know if this is some kind of trap. They could be trying to lure us in then sell us to the slave house."
Ace growled glaring at the ship tensing as he kept his eyes on all the pirates surrounding them. Sabo looked indifferent but his guard was up, he wouldn't be caught completely off guard if someone tried anything. Law looked stoic and calm as he watched everyone around them his eyes constantly on Luffy as well.
Thatch watched the three oldest and knew they had their work cut out for them. "It's going to be hard to get them to trust us." Marco nodded watching the boys with a lazy look on his face.
Luffy was on his shoulders and looked over to his brother. He grinned brightly. "They don't like new people very much but Law and Sabo are smart so they probably have some kind of plan in mind!"
The two commander looked at the boy before returning their attention to the three grouped together. "Hey you three hurry up and let's go get something to eat or all the food will be gone!"
That snapped the boys out of their thoughts and they raced for the cafeteria eager for food. The four boys had one big adventure set out before them and the Whitebeard pirates couldn't expect how attached they'd get to the new member of their family.
