Chapter Three

Meeting her other brothers

Anne was extremely happy to be back. A month after she ate the fruit Garp came and took her away to train. He said she needed to know how to use the devil fruit. That lasted for over a year she was now nine years old and really missed Ace. During that time Anne decided that she would never be a marine. The way her Gramps went on about how she was going to be one. No way would that happen. She wanted to be free and not chained down by rules.

Anne went with Garp to Dadan's place only to find out that Ace was some were off in the forest. Garp went inside to get a drink and wait for Ace to get back. She went ahead and took off to find Ace, she knew he be somewhere near town.

Anne was just reached the edge of the trash heap and started to look around. That was when she saw a boy with a top hat. 'Never seen you around.' She thought and started to follow him.

She followed him back into the forest only to see Ace up ahead and yelling at him. "SABO HURRY UP!"

She smiled and ran past Sabo who saw a blur and tacked Ace giving him a Hug. "What the…" Ace said and looked down seeing his sister. "ANNE!" He smiled giving her a hug.

She smiled looking at him "Miss me?"

"What do you think?"

Anne smiled at him.

"So Ace, who is the girl?"

"Sabo, this is my twin sister Anne, I told you about her. Anne, this is Sabo, he lives in the trash heap and is a friend."

Anne smiled and walked over and shook his hand. "Nice to meet you. So Ace what have you been up to?"

"Getting money to buy a pirate ship."

Anne smirked, "sounds great I wanna help out."

She looked at Sabo smiling she did not understand why she started to be upset as Ace talked about Sabo. She was happy he had friend. She but she started to wonder were that left her. Ace was her best friend, brother, her twin…. But she been gone for a year how much had he changed she was wondering.

..

Ace was thrilled to see his sister more that thrilled. Though he was worried about her it been a month and she seemed down at some points. He didn't know what to do; she was always the one to cheer him up. And he did not know what was wrong. So decided to take her with him. Sabo and Ace decided to take a break from gathering money. She was following both of them and they stopped at a lake.

"What are we doing here?"

"Swimming, come on." Sabo said with Ace as they ran towards the water jumping in.

Anne sat down wrapping her arms around her leg. She lowered her head when she saw this fat boy standing next to her at a dock and pushing her in. She could not swim no matter what she did.

Anne looked up breathing heavy while hearing Sabo and Ace yelling at her.

"Come join us Anne."

"ACE YOU BAKA!" She yelled and lost control of her power and the tempter all around her dropped and the ground became ice.

"I CAN'T SWIM ANY MORE!"

Sabo saw the problem and saw Ace pale.

'How could I forget?' He been so worried about why she was upset he forgot she could not swim for a bit.

Sabo got out of the water walking forward. "That's so cool Anne. Hey do you think you could freeze the water enough to ice skate on it?"

Anne looked up she looked so upset a moment ago and smiled. "I can try."

Ace got out of the water running over and giving his sister a hug. Then looked to Sabo "you never saw." Sabo chuckled and soon they were all having fun. Ace and Sabo were swimming while Anne was learning to Ice skate.

During the next months they would gather money. Anne enjoyed hanging out with the two of them. After the swimming incident Anne and Sabo became close friend. It was just the three of them they did not need anyone else.

Anne and Ace were not ten years old and just gotten back to Dadan's he was carrying a buffalo while she war dragging back a bear that was frozen with her. When they got back they saw Garp heading up the hill. She glared towards him. Last time he came to visit he took here away from her brother. Ace went ahead and was sitting on top of the bear and while she sat on top of the frozen tiger.

Ace watched Anne lower her head as they watched Dadan and listening to her calling them monsters. Anne lifted her head glaring at Dadan. She never knew the woman acutely cared about her. She started laughing as the boy Gramps called Luffy was spit on by Ace. The look on his face was priceless. Luffy was then glaring at her. She smirked at him.

"Anne, Ace, this is your younger brother Luffy take care of him."

"No thanks." She said only to get hit by Gramps fist of love. She rubbed her head.

Later when her and Ace were eating, on there plates was a lot of meat and rice. Luffy only has a bowel of rice and a glass of water. She listened to him complaining to Dadan. Then her telling him how he had to get his own food if he wants more. Anne at this point finished eating looking to Ace they nodded and left. They planned to meet up with Sabo.

She laughed at seeing Luffy following them. "Looks like the brat is following us."

"HEY, I NOT MAD AT YOU FOR SPITTING ON ME! LET'S BE FRIENDS!"

She looked back at him while Ace glared at him. "Weird kid." She watched as Ace kicked the tree and it went down the hill towards them. Both of them keep walking "Did you really need to do that?"

"Yes, I don't like him. He is a snot nose brat."

Days went by and Ace would do things to lose Luffy, "You know some day he will find us." She said after freezing the crocodiles to keep them from eating Luffy. She looked at him with a straight face while he stared at her. She turned and followed Ace. Anne had started to keep an eye on the little boy. She found him funny and didn't want him to die.

This went on for three months. Anne told Sabo about the kid making him laugh. "Wow I feel bad for you both."

"I don't really care." She said smiling. Ace was off in getting some treasure. "Luffy is annoying but he is funny. And I am getting more a laugh at how Ace and Luffy are behaving. Anyway I will be in the city. Time to get some loot. See yeah." She said jumping down and taking off running towards the city.

Sabo waited there for ten minutes to see Ace walking up. "Hey Sabo, sorry I am late."

"Anne told me, she went to the city."

Ace handed over his loot and soon they were putting it up and talking about buying a pirate ship when Luffy appeared.

Anne walked back humming a song while she had a bunch of cash and some necklaces. She reached there and saw the boys running off. She ran after them "What you doing?" They both screamed and looked at her.

"Don't scare us like that Anne. Hurry and help us carry the loot."

"Why?"

"Some men are looking for it and about found it." Yelled Ace. She went and started helping them. While helping put the last bit away, they told her what happen with Luffy. She stopped moving. "Did you really let them take him?"

"Yes, we can't do anything." The boys said.

Anne tossed them her stash she was carrying. "Meet me there." The boys groaned and quickly putting the treasure away before taking after her. They soon joined her while she looked angry she could here Luffy yelling to be let go. She started moving and Ace and Sabo groaned.

Luffy watched as the man put on gloves with spikes. He swung at Luffy hitting him, this time it hurt. He screamed out in pain and started crying. "Tell me were it is or I will kill you." The room's temperature was dropping fast and soon they could all see their breath.

"What is going on? Why is it so cold it is summer outside?" One of the men yelled.

Luffy while crying whispered, "Anne."

Polchemi glared at the men, "who cares we need to find out were the treasure went." He raised his fist to attack when he heard yelling.

Ace, Sabo and Anne hit him with poles. Sabo stole one of the men's swords and cut Luffy free.

Anne went to check on Luffy who was looking at them with tears in his eyes. "Hey Luffy, it is ok. No need to worry let the big kids deal with the bad men." Luffy looked down. She smiled, "don't worry someday these men will like dealing with a bug."

Sabo looked to Ace, "Ace, we got Luffy lets go."

Anne turned and walked to stand next to Ace as her twin stated he never run from a fight. Ace glanced at his sister and saw that the tips of her fingers were now ice and parts of her body were frost. He knew if he didn't know her power he would over look it.

"Run now mister." She said smiling at him sweetly. The way she said it one would think they were good friends but the look on the kids face said differently.

The man looked down at them "Hey don't you think your giving into your urges a little too much? Just hand over the money nice and easy, ya little dirt bag."

Ace glared at him "We will use the money better than you." Ace ran to attack but when Polchemi swung his sword he cut Ace's pole in half. Sabo was running to help the twins but was blocked. He started to fight a man who was going after him and Luffy. Polchemi goes ahead and swings his sword at Ace and Anne pushes Ace out of the way taking the hit.

"ANNE!" Ace, Luffy and Sabo yell when they see the sword hitting her. Sabo knocked the one man out and was running forward with Ace ready to kill the man but stopped.

Polchemi went to pull the sword out but couldn't. Anne had put her hand on his sword and was freezing the sword and it reached his hand. Polchemi looked at his hand and soon felt the numbing pain and he tried to let go of the sword but his hand was frozen. He pulled back but couldn't. Polchemi looked down at Anne.

"I told you to run." She said glaring at him. "No one hurts my brother." Ace saw that her body looked like Ice in most spots. He saw the spot she was stabbed was now a chunk missing but just cracked ice. Anne let go of the sword and had her own sword of ice spear appear in her hand. When Polchemi looked at his arm it was frozen up to his shoulder. Sabo, Luffy and Ace watched as the part that Polchemi hit her was healing it's self. She was now back to normal.

Ace and Sabo walked next to her they would not let her stand alone.

Polchemi glared at them "as I ever lose to a bunch of kids if I ever do I will give up being a pirate."

Sabo smirked "Then you wont' be a pirate." He said and all three of them attacked. They smiled grabbed Luffy and ran as if there pants were on fire to get out of there.

When they reached the woods they sat Luffy down who was crying. Sabo looked to Ace and Anne. "Man... that's really one bad habit you have there, Ace! Saying I', not gonna run to a Real Pirate like that! WHY DO YOU WANNA DIE SO MUCH!... And Anne why did you not just grab Ace and run? DO YOU WANT TO DIE? Really I don't care you have the ice powers that are great…. But…. Dam now BlueJam's men won't forgive us. They will be after us from now on." He grabbed his hat pulling down on it.

Anne listened to Ace and Luffy and watched them argue. She was taken back at the point Luffy saying he was alone. He had no one, and he hates being alone. She looked to Ace knowing it be worse for them if they didn't have each other.

"So if we are with you, then it doesn't hurt. And if we are gone... It'd be a problem for you Huh?" Ace said looking at Luffy. Anne was watching Luffy.

"So, you want us-" Anne started.

"To Live…?" Ace finished saying.

"Oh course." Luffy said looking serious.

Soon Ace was arguing with Luffy again. Anne shook her head and Sabo was now worried where he live. "Come live with us Sabo." She said smiling.
