Day 7: Day of ASLuffy

Original idea: A day on the thousand sunny. New idea: Ace and Sabo catch up to Luffy.

This is continued from my "Day 6″ prompt, look at it here this!

AN: I watched "Episode of Sabo" before typing this up, and I'm more than willing to admit that I cried like a small child. I was listening to "The Phoenix" by Fall Out Boys on repeat for a while, while writing this.

Here's where Canon changes, Camie, Pappagu, and Hatchi are all chilling out at Fishman Island or they met before and helped Hatchi out or something because fucking with them makes my rewrite of Canon events too confusing and I need to rewatch the Sabaody
Arc because the first draft of this was insane. If you wanna see that I might post it for you guys later.

The Strawhats had just finished dealing with Duval, and his renamed Riders, the day before when the two brothers arrived in the middle of the night. They stayed quiet, trying to keep from waking anyone up as they snuck aboard.

Luffy was pleasantly surprised when both of his older brothers showed up on his ship the day before Thousand Sunny reached the Sabaody Archipelago. He expected them to be protective; the two of them had always been super protective of him when they were
younger. He however had not been expecting the sheer nervousness that they were both radiating.

Luffy hadn't been expecting to see either of his brothers for a while, and so the sudden arrival while it made him more than happy, it also worried him immensely. Why were his brothers acting so damn shifty? He would confront them.

Pulling Ace and Sabo with him, Luffy entered the training room atop the main mast. "Ok you two, what's wrong? Last time I saw you guys, Ace was hunting someone and Sabo was chasing after in an attempt you stop him. Why are you two on my ship now? Not
that I mind, but I would like to know. Unless the two of you have finally decided to join my crew?~" Luffy said the last part teasingly automatically getting twin shouts of "NO!"

So Luffy leaned back and waited, foot bouncing slightly as he tried to act mature. Sabo sighed and shook his head, before rubbing at his temples slightly. "Sometimes I wish you were a little less wise. You remember the man that Ace was after? Teach? He
attacked one of the division commanders, stabbed him in the back and left him for dead over a devil fruit. Luckily Thatch survived, but he'd currently being forced into bed rest so he can recover fully."

Ace cut in, glaring at the floor as his hands clenched into tight fists. "Teach, he goes by Blackbeard now, the bastard, he was baiting me. But he's probably going to be coming after you so that he can be accepted as a Shichibukai..."

Luffy's hands smacked his knees a few times as he thought before shrugging uncaringly. "If that's so just stay here for a couple days. We can hang out and when the bastard comes after me we'll take him down, together, as brothers."

Nodding, the three of them climbed down the mast and met back up with the crew deciding that they should all hand out on Sabaody together. Safety in numbers right?

There's no huge fight scene, imagine that Law, Kid, and Luffy had to fight the marines but Luffy just got caught up in someone else's shitty luck.

And then Bartholomew Kuma showed up. Sabo was sincerely surprised, why was Kuma here? Walking over to the large man Sabo gave a half smile and nodded respectfully, a note was exchanged and Kuma engaged him in a flurry of punches. Jumping to his brothers,
Sabo dragged Luffy, Ace and the others away while Kuma sat down, refusing to give chase for now. He was getting the time he needed to go over the note and give everyone the news that was on it.

A couple minutes later and Sabo knew why Kuma had bothered to show his face to the second in command. A goddamned admiral was on Sabaody, Sabo didn't have a clue why, besides maybe one of those disgusting World Nobles had been prissy recently and demanded
a military escort.

All Sabo knew was that was Kuma was going to be coming "after them" soon. And he'd send them to where they'd get the most training. So he informed Luffy and the crew, act natural, and react badly to the oncoming attack.

That's when Kuma came after them, first to be sent flying was Zoro, Who is still seriously injured from Thriller Bark, "I see you survived". Then Brook, who went with a bad skull joke, "I'll protect you even if it costs me my life! Oh but I'm already
dead so I supp-".

Sanji was knocked away before Ussop was sent away. Sanji was transported almost immediately afterwards. Ignoring Luffy's protest of "you can't win don't fight!". Franky and Nami were the next to go. Nami's shriek of "Someone help me!" Tugged at Luffy's
heart.

Chopper was next, he had eaten to rumble balls to make it convincing, but he had lost himself in the rage of watching his comrades be 'erased'. Luffy begs followed, "please stop!" Robin's scream of Luffy ripped at Luffy's rubber heart.

Than Kuma gave Luffy a sad smile, "You and I will never meet again, Farewell Strawhat." And poofed him along with his two brothers. Rayleigh would be sent along later, seeing as he owed a debt to the hat that rested atop the rubber boy's head.

They would all meet again in two years, the promised time, on Sabaody. There they would take their adventure into the New World, when they would be strong enough to fight against the others in the New World.
