Chapter 5

Grey Terminal

The next few months pass by in a blur. Everyday Ace would take off somewhere followed by Harry and Luffy. The twins would get a little closer each day but in the end, Ace would manage to lose them and they would come back to Dadan's and help Luna with the chores. Or at least Harry would. Luffy would often break something. Finally, after so long, the twins were able to reach the end of the forest. Harry's eyes widen in surprise as he saw piles and piles of trash. Almost the size of small mountains.

As the two explored they discovered that people lived there as well. It was like a small town. However, the people there seems to be a 'fend for yourself' group as Harry witnessed a rather gruesome fight over a pearl necklace that a guy had found amongst the trash. As they looked around Luffy kept calling out Ace's name. Not surprisingly there was no response. Finally after some time stumbling around and paying no mind to the locals, Harry spotted Ace heading into a different part of the forest. A sack over his shoulder.

The twins quickly resumed their pursuit, spotting Ace here and there as he weaved around the tree roots. Finally, they saw him at the top of a tree with another boy there as well. Harry couldn't see much of the other kid besides the pipe he was wielding and his top hat with goggles around the band over blond hair. As they approached the tree they heard the other boy asked: "So how much do you think a ship is going to cost?" Ace smirked. "Probably ten million. Maybe more."

"Did you say ship?" Luffy suddenly asked them. The two started to freak out and Harry saw the other boy close what look liked a trap door as they spotted the brothers. "You guy are going to be pirates? And you already got hidden treasure? That's awesome, Harry and I are going to be pirates as well," Luffy continued not noticing the look of pure rage on Ace's face.

He and the other boy quickly climbed down the tree and grabbed the twins, tieing them up to a tree. "So these are those twins you were telling me about?" the other boy asked Ace. Ace nodded, his anger had cooled into natural interest. "I don't know what's more surprising, the fact that you told your friend about us or the fact that you even have a friend," Harry said. That resulted in Ace hitting Harry over the head with his pipe. "I mostly told him about how annoying the two of you are," Ace clarified.

"So hey how about you be friends with us too?" Luffy asked. "No way that's happening. You don't even know my name," the other boy countered. "What is your name anyway?" Harry couldn't help but ask. "It's Sa- A secret!" he caught himself. "So now what do we do?" he asked Ace. "They know our secret. We can't trust them to keep their mouth shut. We'll have to kill them." Ace finally decided. "Okay then," the other boy agreed.

At that Luffy proceeded to freak out. "WHAT NO WAY I DON'T WANT TO DIE!" Ace ran over to cover Luffy's mouth with his hand. The other boy readied his pipe so that Harry didn't try anything. "So how do we kill them?" he asked. "I don't know I've never killed anyone before," Ace said. As the two tried to figure out what to do over Luffy's yelling Harry tried to set the ropes on fire with his magic.

The good news was that he was able to set the ropes on fire so he and Luffy could escape. The bad news was that he overdid it on the fire so now the whole tree is ablaze. Luckily the four boys were able to get away from it in time. As they watched the flames Ace grabbed Harry by the front of his shirt. "The hell do you think you're doing setting the forest on fire?" he asked. Harry punched Ace in the face, sending the other boy to the ground. "You lot wouldn't stop yelling. I couldn't focus my magic that well," Harry countered.

Ace got back up to try and fight Harry back but was stopped by the kid in the top hat. Luffy had also wrapped his arms around Harry two or three times to hold him back from doing anything else. "Please stop fighting you guys we are supposed to be friends here," Luffy said. Then a new voice came across the forest. "Hey what's up with this tree here."

The four kid's blood ran cold and they quickly hid in some nearby bushes. Peeking out from the leaves Harry saw about four guys. Two of them seem really beaten up given the bandages on them. One of them, who Harry guessed was the leader as he was the biggest in the group and carrying a sword, went up to watch the blazing tree.

"Damn it, I didn't realize those guys worked for Bluejam," Ace muttered. "You mean the money you stole was from those guys?" Sabo asked. "The one with the sword that's Porchemy right?" Ace nodded. Harry didn't pay much attention to the conversation as he felt for Luffy's hand to make sure he stayed close by but couldn't find it. Turning around Harry saw his twin missing. "Luffy? Luffy where are you?" he asked trying to keep his voice as low as possible.

Ace and Sabo turned around to ask what was going on only to hear Luffy screaming from the other side of the bushes. Turning around they found him somehow already in Porchemy's clutches. All three went bug-eyed wondering how Luffy got himself caught like that. Harry quickly tried to rush to his brother's aid, only to be held down by Ace and Sabo. "Stay down! You want to get caught too?" Sabo asked him. "Luffy's my brother I've got to go help him," Harry argued.

"Let me go! Put me down!" Luffy demanded from Porchemy's hand. "Harry, Ace, Help!" Porchemy's eyes narrowed at the mention of Ace and the three boys ceased their scuffle in the bushes and they listened to what would happen next. " You called for Ace right? Is he a friend of yours?" Porchemy asked Luffy. "Yea he is," Luffy said at once and then blinked and added, "But he did try to kill me and my brother just now."

"Damn! Your brother has a really big mouth," Sabo said to Harry. Harry just sighed. Sabo wasn't wrong. Porchemy then smiled and said "Well your friend just recently stole some money from us. You wouldn't happen to know what he did with it would you?" Ace, Sabo, and Harry all froze in anticipation of Luffy's next words.

Luffy looked to the side and pursed his lips. "I don't know what you're talking about," he said. Harry cringed at how obvious Luffy was being. Even Porchemy was shocked at what a terrible liar Luffy was. Then his face morphed into a twisted smile. "Alright then, it can't be helped if you forgot."

Harry allowed some hope to fill his body. Does this mean they'll let him go? However, that hope was soon crushed as Porchemy started to carry Luffy away. "Come with us. We'll see if we can't jog your memory," he said. "Hey, where are you taking me? Let me go!" Luffy cried as the group left the forest.

Harry continued to struggle against Ace and Sabo but the two were stronger than he originally thought. They finally let him go as soon as Bluejam's men were out of sight. Harry slowly got up from the ground. His little body shaking with both fear and rage. "How could you do that?" he softly asked them. Ace just scoffed. "I wouldn't worry too much. You know how big Luffy's mouth is? He'll blab before they do anything to him," he said confidently. "You don't know that!" Harry shouted and the flames on the tree that were starting to die down flared back up again.

"Woah hey calm down! You really don't want to set the forest on fire do you?" Sabo asked stepping in front of Harry. Harry stepped away from Sabo, threw one last glare at Ace, and took off running. "Hey, where are you going?" Sabo asked. "To save Luffy," Harry replied not looking back. "Don't bother. He'll tell Porchemy where our treasure is and let him go," Ace assured.

Harry stopped and turned to face the other two. "If that was the case do you think Luffy would have said something already?" he asked them. When Sabo and Ace didn't respond Harry turned back and headed off to Grey Terminal. Ace shook his head and mutter "Whatever. Come on Sabo, we got to move our treasure while we still can." Sabo nodded and the two proceed to work as the embers of the tree finally gave out.

All right finally got this chapter done. Hope it was worth the wait for you guys.

Matt: You didn't annoy me. I was almost done with the chapter when you sent that last review so that was just good timing. Also, just a side note, Luna won't exactly be part of the ASHL group as she'll be sticking with the bandits. I honestly do like the ideas you had with Draco. But I've got something else in mind for our favorite Slytherin. Hope it doesn't disappoint when we eventually get to him.

As always, reviews are awesome. Follow the story if you haven't already. Favorite it once it's done and I'll see you in the next chapter.
