Don't own Onepiece
Thank you again for reviewing because of that I decided to post a new chapter earlier than expected.
Chapter 7: Attack from the past
"What do you mean you'll show us?" Izo asked.
"My devil fruit fives me a lot of visual powers." Luffy explained.
"So you can show us your memories?" Haruta asked.
"Yeah, it'll be better than just telling you, after all we won't skip over the…important things and there won't be any exaggerations." Sabo added.
"Yeah but you better not judge, and we won't show everyone." Ace put in.
"Of course. Will you guys be able to go back to sleep?" Thatch asked.
"Urg! What time is it anyway?" Ace groaned.
"Midnight." Marco replied.
"I need some fresh air, before I do anything." Luffy complained.
"You and me both. I need to get out of here for a while." Sabo agreed.
"No way in hell am I staying in here alone." Ace grumbled and the three kids got up and started walking towards the door.
"We should warn you that your screaming woke up practically everyone on the ship." Marco warned.
"E-everyone." Sabo stuttered.
"Yep. They all know there are three kids on the ship now." Izo said.
"What should we do, can we still go outside?" Luffy asked.
"Well you can, but will you be okay?" Marco responded.
"Ca..can you…come with us?" Luffy asked holding Marco's hand with a blush tinting her checks.
"Yeah of course." Marco replied. The nine of them left the room and made their way one deck. It looked like the other commanders just finished explaining the situation and the pirates went back to bed satisfied with the answer or not caring either way.
"Thanks for taking care of that yoi."
"No prob. How are they doing what happened?" Asked King Dew.
"They had a nightmare." Namur answered and the kids came out from behind them.
"We're sorry, for being loud." Sabo apologized.
"Don't worry about it are you okay now, do you need anything?" Curiel asked.
"No thank you, we just some fresh air and we'll be fine." He answered, Luffy was using this chance to gage the reaction of the crew, she was happy to know that their was still no ill intention, heck even the crew members seemed worried about the screams.
"What are you smiling about yoi?" Marco asked Luffy.
"Nothing I just really like it here." She replied going of towards the railing to stare at the ocean, followed by her brothers. They each sat their silently breathing in the scent of freedom.
"I'm going to tell pops what happened he probably wants to know." Vista said.
"Right, I'll go to." Haruta said.
"Alright than I'm going to bed, I've already finished making the three kids something to wear for tomorrow until we arrive at the island." Izo informed.
"Alright well stay here with the kids." Namur said.
"The three commanders that remained on deck sat a small distance away from the kids, so that they could have some space but still be in view. They watched the kids stare off at the ocean with an unreadable expression. Then the silence was broken.
"Thanks for being patient." Luffy said.
"It's no problem yoi."
"We'd still like to give you a present." Sabo said.
"A present?" Namur asked.
"Yeah, Ace will you give it to them?" Luffy asked.
"I'm not doing it by my self you have to help." Ace said with a blush.
"What kind of present are you planning on giving us? We really don't need anything, and you don't have to do anything you're not comfortable with." Thatch said.
"Relax its nothing bad Ace just gets embarrassed easily." Sabo informed.
"Shut up." Ace murmured casing his siblings to laugh and the commanders to relax.
"Than we'll give it to them tomorrow, besides you're the one who gives the luck not me you really don't need my help." Luffy said.
The next day
The three kids were woken up and were given some new clothes from Izo to wear. Luffy wore a crimson red and white tank dress that went down to her knees and white flats along with her black chocker with ruby gem hanging from it, which she claimed was her treasure. She decided to leave the hat in her room. Ace wore black shorts that went to his knees, with and orange tank top and arm guard and black flats. Sabo wore blue knee length shorts with a white t-shirt.
"Thanks for the cloths Izo." Sabo thanked.
"No need to thank me, ah you all look so cute, I really am a genius." Izo replied making the three blush and smile nervously.
"Lighten up lets go join the others for breakfast." He suggested.
"Alright food!" Luffy yelled as she ran on ahead.
"Luffy wait!" Ace yelled as he and Sabo ran after her.
"Damn it!" and Izo ran after them.
"When they got on the deck the pirates that finished eating stopped what they were doing and stared at them. The three stared at them back while Luffy read their intentions. The children were tense that's for sure. Staring at each pirate intensely, not noticing Whitebeard or Marco who were also up n deck or Izo who just caught up to them. Finally Luffy relaxed a little and so did the brothers.
"Hey you three so you're finally up, breakfast is waiting for you when your ready yoi." Marco informed.
"Marco." Luffy greeted happily as she hugged his legs "will you come with us?" Luffy asked with her puppy dog eyes.
"Sure." Marco replied with a smile and Luffy grabbed his had. "Thatch and Namur are waiting for us so let's hurry."
With that the four minus Izo who already ate left to go to the mess hall. The pirates noticed them but let them be and Luffy declared them same. After breakfast they left to go sit on the deck by whitebeards thrown. They were enjoying watching the crew when suddenly the look out cried out saying someone has returned.
"Oh so their back already yoi."
"Whose back?" asked Sabo.
"Just part of the crew who went on a mission a few days ago." Whitebeard answered.
"Hey guys welcome back, how was the mission?" asked a random crew member.
"It was a success of course." Came the answer. Luffy froze on the spot not because she recognized the voice but one no two of the men's intentions, that just returned are dark, and scary. Luffy paled as she analyzed them, and her body shook, she's dealt with too many people similar to not be afraid.
"Luffy what's wrong?" Ace asked gently grabbing her shoulder.
"Two of the men who just came, can't be trusted." She answered with a trembling voice.
"What do you mean?" Marco asked with narrowed eyes.
"Just as I said their evil they're different then everyone on the ship they didn't join to have a family, they have ulterior motives." Luffy in formed as she went to seek out the comfort of her brothers.
"Pops?" Marco asked unsure of what to do,
"Let them be they haven't done anything yet, if they show any ill intent towards anyone will act then but not before." Whitebeard ordered.
"Understood yoi." The two that volunteered to report to the captain about the mission walked up, causing Luffy to back further away and grab onto whitebeards leg and hide behind it.
"Welcome back my son's, how are you?"
"We're fine the mission was successful, and no ones injured." A man reported, he seemed nice, this one Luffy was not afraid of it was the one next to him, the one with black spiky are, and dark eyes. He was tall and lean, he looked pretty weak compared to the others.
"Is that so? Then you should go and relax."
"Yes pops." When the man with dark hair spoke Ace froze and his blood went cold as his body trembled.
"Ace wants wrong?" Sabo asked and everyone present took notice of the boy. The man dark eyes widened when he finally noticed Ace.
"It's you." He said in a trembling voice.
"Ace you know him?" Marco asked narrowing his eye again.
"He he." Ace backed away and fell on his but."
"Ace!" Sabo yelled and went over to his brother. "What's wrong?"
"Stay away, stay away from me! I won't go back, I'd rather die than go through that again!" Ace yelled. After the declaration the deck was silent taking in what the 10 year old just said.
"Chrono do you know Ace?" Marco asked his tone dangerously low.
"No."
"Lair." Came the voice of a small girl, her hair shadowed her eyes making her seem dangerous.
"Luffy?"
"He's lying, he caused Ace pain that's what he just remembered. Isn't that right Ace?"
"Three years ago when I was seven he kidnapped me." Ace said just loud enough for everyone to hear his voice was small and weak much unlike him.
"Three years ago, and he joined us two years ago why?" Marco thought to himself.
"You have no proof, of that." Chrono defended.
"Sadists always seem to keep a memento." Luffy said and before anyone knew it she stole his bag.
"Hey give that back you brat, Luffy instantly looked up at him her Crimson red eyes turned into a killer glare that froze him where he stood.
"Hey what did you do I can't move."
"Nothing yet but once I find out what you did I'll make sure you experience the same pain you inflicted on my brother." She said and the pirates just let her do as she pleased, knowing they really had no right to stop her but first they needed proof he actually hurt Ace. They watched as Luffy reached into the bag and pulled out a shell making Chrono's and Ace's eyes widen.
"Ace do you mind if I play this." Luffy asked ace finally found the strength to stand up.
"We have no choice if we want to prove he's guilty, but about making him feel pain do you mind if I do it instead, after all I know what he did better." Ace answered in a monotonous voice. By now the commanders surrounded the man as they waited for Luffy to play the tone dial. After all they're finally getting some information on one of the brats lives.
"Alright." Luffy closed her eyes as if preparing herself and pushed the button.
"Finally awake?" Chrono's voice asked.
"Who are you? Where the hell am I?" Ace growled
"Who I am is none of your business, and you're on my ship." Chrono answered.
"Why am I here?" Ace continued.
"Because who you are is important." ... "That's right I know who you are Ace."
At this point everyone is staring at Chrono worried about what he did to Ace but still wanting to know.
"That's right I know you're the grandson of the Vice Admiral Garp the Fist, the marine hero."
"So what do you want with me."
"Garp took down my brother and his crew, I'm going to get my revenge using his only grandson."
"You're nothing but weak scum, if you're using a defenseless kid to get your damn revenge!" Ace hissed. "What kind of Pirates are you! Besides what do you think will happen to you once Gramps finds out about this."
'That's why he joined he wanted protection from Garp.' Marco thought but didn't voice wanting to hear what happens next.
"I don't care about that!" He said and there was a sound of some one getting punched and a splash.
"I can't wait to see the look of despair on your grandpa's face when he sees what I've done with you." He chuckled darkly. "Lets move on to something more painful shall we?" there was a sound of a door shutting and footstep, after a short period of time they heard the door again.
"These are called bullet ants. One bite feels worse than getting shot. Lets see how mush you can handle before you pass out." He said.
The pirates on desk let out a gasp at what the just heard and Ace shut his eyes trembling as he listened.
They heard the small boy gasp and whimper and the next moment their was a bloodcurdling scream, it wouldn't stop it continued with no break. You could even hear some cries every now and then as well thrashing and chains clinking together and something that pissed off the pirates that were listening. They heard laughing.
Suddenly it stopped and everyone looked at Luffy except of Ace who kept his eyes closed and Sabo who glared at the petrified pirate responsible for his brothers pain.
"That's enough I don't want to hear anymore." she said crushing the device in her hands. Her eyes were once again shadowed and her body trembled with rage. Ace was in the same position.
"Ace he's all yours." Luffy said in a dark voice. "He ain't going anywhere till I release him." She said her voice dark and threatening. The pirates watched as Ace slowly approached the man in a threatening manner his eyes still hidden from view; and flames licked his body.
"Luffy bring him to his knees." Ace demanded. Luffy nodded and glared at Chrono, looking him directly in the eyes bringing him down to his knees where he was eye level with Ace. Ace slowly brought his eyes up and everyone but the two kids were shocked to see golden eyes. "I told you before didn't I…to my protector I bring good fortune…but to my captors I bring misfortune." Ace said apathetically as he finally brought his eyes up to meet the ones that caused him so much pain and misery and before anyone was aware of what was happening the man let out a scream just was bad as the one Ace from the tone dial let out, however he was quick to pass out.
"Weak, you can dish it out but you can't take it huh? You're not worth it." Ace scoffed and walked away. "You guys deal with him." Ace said as he went over to the railing of the ship to sit down and look out at the ocean.
"Che fine he's right." Luffy said.
"Damn bastard, you saw what he did, didn't you Luffy?" Sabo asked.
"Not everything I'll wait for the day we all share, just like everyone else." Luffy said and walked away to join Ace along with Sabo.
"That was unexpected what do you want to do with him pop's, seems he only joined you to get your protection." Izo said.
"Which way is it to Marineford?" Whitebeard asked, and Marco pointed in the direction. Whitebeard nodded and picked up the unconscious form of the man and through him in said direction. The three kids saw the form fly and turned around to look at whitebeard in awe.
"Thank you." Ace said.
"No problem brat." Was the reply and Luffy laughed all the tension form the three kids gone.
"I'm now worried about the other member she said they couldn't trust, especially if he's like this one yoi." Marco mentioned.
"You're right, guess we'll have to wait and see and trust Luffy's judgments from now on.
"Alright do you have a guitar?" Ace asked.
"Yeah I'll go get it." Said a random pirate.
"Good."
"What's going on?" Thatch asked.
"I'll give you the present we talked about last night." Ace answered with a smile.
"What is this present yoi?"
"Relax it's just a little good fortune." Ace said. "It's thanks for protection us." Ace words from before rang through their heads and they were happy. The man from before brought out the guitar and gave it to Ace who gave it to Sabo and whispered something into Luffy and Sabo's ear earning a grin and a nod.
"Alright, 1,2,123." Sabo counted before he started playing, very well might I add the pirates jaws dropped and dropped again when Ace started singing.
"Renegade" (By Tim McGraw I do not Own)
Ace: Baby, I go too fast too far
Let's get it straight now
The way things are
I'm not the white knight in your fantasy
But I could be your wildest dream
Ace and Luffy: I might ride with the wind
I might follow the sun
I gotta go where I've never been
'Cause my heart beats to a different drum
It's just the way I was made
I'm a renegade
I'm a renegade
Ace: I get this feelin' that I should be gone
Somethin' keeps tellin' me to take you along
I got a Chevy with a big back seat
Climb on in
And take a change on me
Ace and Luffy: I might ride with the wind
I might follow the sun
I gotta go where I've never been
'Cause my heart beats to a different drum
It's just the way I was made
I'm a renegade
I'm a renegade
Ace: Don't even think about settlin' down
I ain't gonna hang my hat in no hometown
Ace and Luffy: I might ride with the wind
I might follow the sun
I gotta go where I've never been
'Cause my heart beats to a different drum
It's just the way I was made
Ace: I'm a renegade
Luffy: I'm a renegade
Ace: I'm a renegade
Luffy: I'm a renegade
When they finished the pirates applauded the trio and they did a bow.
"Wow I didn't know you to could sing and I didn't know you could play." Thatch said.
"Yeah well we can, and using our devil fruits we can turn it in to a weapon." Luffy said.
"And I just accompany them so it sounds better." Sabo shrugged.
"Hmm interesting we should start your training tomorrow, it seems you three have a lot of potential yoi."
