"fire-bug" = old tongue

chapter 26

I yawned watching the first years getting sorted, I looked over to each of my crew, then my sister and latly Yuki still sat away from her house mates, i hate that for feasts I have to sit with my house. I can just about feel the crews feeling our sitting apart from each other, it wount be till the end of the year for our bond to settle to what it was in our last life so I can only feel what they feel ecos the bond is not solid not yet.

"Gol d. Ace" my head snapped over to mcgonagall as she called that name, it's him the fire-bug is alive, by the gods my brother is alive. I narrowed my eyes as I watched the eleven year old sat on the stool, oh I will have words with him tomorrow the fool. I watched as he was sorted into the red house so looked to my second locking eyes with him '~do not tell him i'm alive~' I sent just as Gol d. Sabo was called so watched as the reborn blond was sorted into the blue house so sent the same message to Robin who nodded. I nearly laughed out right as Morgan Helmeppo was called and join the yellow table and had to bite my lip as Morgan Coby was sorted with his twin in this life.

oh this is going to be good, I let a dark smirk work it's way onto my face as I moved to the common room most of my house mates moved out of my way as they saw my smirk.

-coby's p.o.v-

I looked around the common room as our head of house left after giving her welcome speech, I sat next to my friend of my old life but my older twin in this life "hello Coby", I looked up as the room went quite, my eyes widened seeing the three of them stood in front of us "Nami-san, Usopp-san, chopper-san" I asked getting a smile from the only girl "hey guys" my brother said. Nami grinned at him before looking around "so your brothers in this life" Usopp asked, we nodded "yes are the rest of your crew around have you found them" i asked, it will be cruel if they are the only ones reborn.

Chopper grinned "we're second years, Robin, Franky and Brook ravens third years, Zoro and Sanji lions third years and Luffy is forth year snake" he replied. I grinned at that the whole crew together "the captain's mate is in our year and a lion but doesn't have her memories" Nami told us, my eyes widen hearing that I only ever met Luffy's mate a few times it was after she was killed that I give up trying to change things on the marines side before moving to join Luffy and the others. I got there on the eve of the fifth war and placed myself at the kings feet asking for forgiveness for taking to long to see how bad the marines have gotten and not seeing the plan to kill off his mate.

I was forgiven and was given a place at his side, I stood by him for years, stood with him as he lost his crew before giving my life so he could live just a little longer.

-Sabo's p.o.v-

I looked around the room before spotting someone I think I know "Robin-san" I asked making the whole room go silent, what is that about, she turned to me along with two of her brothers "hello Sabo" she said giving me a small smile. I looked to the other two "the rest of your crew" I asked getting a smirk from Franky "Nami, Usopp, Chopper second year badger, Zoro and Sanji third year lions, the three of us third years" he replied. I narrowed my eyes "Luffy" I asked, they shrugged "no idea where he is" Franky said, I saw most of the house given them funny looks but shrugged it off.

-Ace's p.o.v-

I looked around the house before seeing green hair, it can't be "Zoro" I asked thinking of my little brother's first-mate, I moved over to him watching the house full silent even saw the narrowing of the boy wonders eyes. Zoro and Sanji looked over to me and grinned "yo Ace" Zoro said, I looked to my brothers second and cook "your crew" I asked, they looked between each other "around, three in yellow, three in blue" Sanji replied. I couldn't help but grin wait 6 Sabo said there were nine members of the crew "my brother" I asked, that got a shrug "no idea" Zoro replied with a grin, they are up to something I can tell.

-luffy's p.o.v-

I walked into the hall to see the crew, Rose, the girls, Minions and the four first years sitting at the red table today all talking, Yuki sat down near the teachers, I moved up behind my once brothers. those on the other side of the table smiled at me, I grinned at the now Morgan brothers before lashing out grabbing the Gol twins by the scruff of their robes.

they yelled as the hall went still all watching as I lifted them from the bench "if it isn't dragon-Chan's second and the pirate prince" I said, they went still before both tilted their heads as best they could "brother" they asked, I dropped them with a grin.

they turned to me both grinning Ace's eyes widen as he had to look up at me, he eyed the green on my robes before looking to my second narrowing his eyes "captains orders" Zoro said. I grinned down at my brother before tilting my head "Ace has Roger been reborn" I asked thinking him using the first kings last name, he nodded "yep both dad and mum" he replied, I smirked "tell me do the other reborns know" I asked, they shook their heads.

I fished my phones out before calling Phoenix placing it on load speaker "hello" Phoenix said, I grinned looking to Ace who paled "it's lu your on load" I told the bird "oh shouldn't you be in class" he asked. I snorted looking to my watch "still breakfast, so still in the hall, who's with you" I asked hearing voices in the back ground "pops, Shanks, Dragon, Grap, Hawk-eye" he replied, the crew chuckled as the firsties paled all shaking their heads.

I smirked at them as they all but got on their knees in begging "good" I said, "why you phoning" Shanks asked, I take it I was just put on speaker "I have before me Grap's two boys, Dragon-Chan's second and the pirate prince" I replied. I heard the intake of breath "Ace" Marco whispered "yes, Ace, Sabo, Coby and Helmeppo" I replied, that got the phone stolen by the sounds of it "we'll be there this weekend hound" hawk said before the phone was put down.

I grinned at my brothers before holding out my phone out, Sabo sighed before taking it placing in a number "hello" a voice asked, I gave a soft smile at that voice "hello uncle Rayleigh, you on speaker with non reborns listening" he told the voice before the phone was passed back over "oh and why is that" Rayleigh asked. I looked to my crew then around the hall "hello master Rayleigh" I said that got a start from him in the form of a choke "Luffy" he breathed before a new voice asked "as in my boys brother". I looked to Ace raising a brow getting a nodded "hello Gol D. Roger, first King" I said, there was a laugh on the other end "Hello Luffy, I do not know what to call you or what you've let out about you last life" he said. I grinned "you can just call me hound or shadow, now I got some old friends of you sons coming to the school on the week end, I know of one would like to met my mentor again, whitebeard, Grap and Shanks will be turning up" I told him. I heard him hum before he laughed "fine lord of shadows, we'll see you this weekend" he told me before the line went dead, I grinned at my brothers putting the phone away before looking to my crew "it seems we are having the king as a guest this weekend" i told them watching them all grin.

we sat at the yellow table today, I eyed the firsties not bothering to hide my grin as all four of them sat fidgeting looking to the door dreading the others that are turning up today, their old commanding officers. I sat with my back to the main doors just watching them, Zoro and Sanji sat ever side of me both smirking at the squirming firsties.

My eyes widen before I jumped away from where I sat landing near where Dumbles gives speeches. I stood straight locking eyes with the form of my once mentor, Zoro and Sanji have jumped away as I did, I looked to the doors to see the old king and a women who only stood as tall as his shoulder with strawberry-blond hair that must be Portgas D Rouge Ace's mother. Reyleigh stood from where he crouched after failing to land a hit on me, he grinned looking over to me, I eyed his blond hair "never took you as a blond old man" I said to my mentor. he snorted looking to my crew before looking around the hall, I saw the moment he saw Yuki "don't she has no memory" I barked at him he lowered his eyes giving a small bow "as you wish" he said.

I looked to the door feeling the others making their way towards to hall "the others will be here soon" I said looking to Roger how grinned "so who's coming" he asked. I tilted my head feeling out who's in the group "whitebeard, Marco, Shanks, Ben, Mihawk, Grap, oh Smoker" I replied just as the group turned up behind the king. I watched the all eye each other before snorting looking around the hall seeing everyone watching "right reborns outside, minions, baby sister and girls you can come if you like" I said moving towards the door.

I sat up in the tree the others sat under just watching them all talk old souls and new souls, I saw Roger look up before standing moving away from the group so jumped down to follow waving the others off as they moved.

we stopped a bit away form the other, I leaned against the tree on the bank of the lake as the old king moved down to the shore picking up a stone to skim "how long have you remembered you old life" I asked, he looked side ways at me "when I met Rouge about 20 years ago, i was 16 she 14, you" he asked back. I looked out over the lake "I've remembered since birth, why didn't you get in touch with the others" I asked, he let out a sigh before turning to look at me "I've heard tales of the king who took my place, Reyleigh tried to talk me into getting in touch with them, he kept an eye on the others for me without giving away who he is. I did not reveal myself for I thought I'd be put in position of leading, I would never be able to replace the one they names pirate-god, I do not want to lead. I knew when the boys where born that I might be brought back, that there might be other old souls here when their letters came didn't think it would be their brother their sake swore brother. the very king of hell here you will watch over my boys wont you" he asked switching to English, I nodded looking over to my crew laughing with the firsties and those that have been adopted into the group "they are family to me, the demon hound looks after his pack" I told the older king before moving back over to the group.
