Chapter 12

Hidden Power

As it turns out, the job Bluejam offered the trio was hauling boxed to specific areas of Grey Terminal. Luffy and Ace were carrying two boxes each. Harry tried carrying more with his magic but was able to do no more than about three or four before he lost focus. And even then it was only for a short while.

After a while, Luffy started to complain. "I'm getting tired. Hauling stuff is no fun if Sabo's not around." Harry turned to his twin.

"Look I hate this as much as you but we've got to be patient right now and let this play out. I'm sure one of these days he'll come back to us." Ace nodded.

"And besides you heard what Bluejam said. We got to let him live his own life."

Luffy stared at the two for a moment. "Yea I suppose your right."

Eventually, the sun started to set and Bluejam dismissed them for the day after giving Ace the promised pay. The three went back to the treehouse, no one saying a word. Their minds still on Sabo.

The next day was more or less the same. At sunset, Bluejam told them what was in the crates. Explosives. And they were going to use these to set Grey Terminal on fire. Immediately the boys put up a fuss but the other pirates held on to them to keep them quiet. Ace pleaded with him not to go through with it but Bluejam just laughed it off. "Since when did you care about other people. You boys are stuck here so it really doesn't make a difference anyway. But that's not important right now. You see there's something I've been wanting to ask you. I've heard you've got treasure around here somewhere that correct?"

The boys refused to tell him where it was, so Bluejam's men tied them up in their hideout. Luffy tried worming his way out of the ropes while Harry and Ace managed to find something sharp and started cutting. But before they knew it the fire was already spreading. Fortunately, they were able to escape the hideout and started to look for a way out of the fire. Harry was really impressed by how Luffy was acting. He would freak out but then flip and act like he was okay.

Suddenly a word popped up in Harry's head. He didn't know where it came from but it kept repeating itself over and over again. Hoping it was some kind of spell, he walked forward until he was in front of both Ace and Luffy. Both watched their brother with confusion and Ace asked: "What are you doing?" Harry didn't answer. He just took a deep breath and raised his arms up. As he brought them down he cried out "Aguamenti". What seemed like a small tidal wave shot out of Harry's hands and put some of the fire out.

Luffy and Ace looked in amazement and cheered out. "Alright, we're gonna get out of here!" Luffy shouted in his excitement.

"Can you do it again?" Ace asked.

"I can try," Harry replied before bringing his arms up and shouting the spell again. More water was summoned from nowhere and soon Harry was able to make a path.

The three quickly ran. Trying to get to safety. But with everything on fire, the boys didn't recognize anything and quickly got lost. After a while of conjuring water, Harry quickly fell on his knees in exhaustion. "Hey, are you going to be okay Harry?" Luffy asked, kneeling beside his twin. Harry shook his head. "It's no good. I'm wiped out," he said.

"Just take it easy alright," Ace told him. "We're going to get out of here."

"Who said you could leave?" an unfortunately familiar voice called out. The three looked to see Bluejam and his men approaching them from the flames.

"What are you still doing here?" Ace asked. "I thought you escaped before the fire got too thick." Bluejam just smirked.

"No point to it all it's hopeless now. There's a sort of irony to it." He then started laughing. "I hit rock bottom and all I can do is laugh." The rest of the crew are laughing as well.

Harry just scoffed. "What does that have to do with us?" he asked. Bluejam walked closer to the boys. "You still haven't told us where your treasure is," he said.

"Is that really a problem right now? We're about to die here!" Ace shouted. He quickly fell silent when the pirates all pulled their guns out. Relenting, Ace found a piece of wood that hadn't burned yet and with a rock, drew a map with an X for the treasure. Handing it to Bluejam he asked, "You gonna leave us alone now?"

In response, Bluejam's men grabbed the brothers. Ace struggled in Blujam's grip. "Hey what are you doing?" he asked.

Blujam shoved a gun into Ace's face. "I'm gonna make my comeback, and get my revenge on those damn nobles. Starting with that so-called 'brother' of yours."

Harry and Luffy struggled against the pirates, trying to get to Ace. The glare on Harry's face was something fierce. "You leave Sabo out of this!" he demanded.

"Yea, he isn't like that," Ace agreed.

"Right, Sabo just wants to be free," Luffy chimed in. He then bit down on the arm of the pirate holding him, causing said pirate to let go of Luffy.

Luffy quickly stood up at the ready with his pipe. The pirate pulled out his sword and swung it down on Luffy. Luffy tried to block it with his pipe but the sword just sliced right through it and left a deep gash that went across his face. Then the pirate raised his sword upon the injured child. "I'm gonna kill you," he declared.

Ace started thrashing about against the pirate that held him. Demanding them to let him go. Harry just stood in horror. Unable to do anything as his twin was about to die before his eyes. In his dread-filled haze, he could barely make out Ace's words. But then he felt it. What seemed to be a shockwave came from out of nowhere.

For a moment everything froze. No one moved a muscle. Even the fire went away for a moment. Then the moment was over. The fire came back. And all the pirates save for Bluejam fell one by one. The moment Harry was freed he raced to Luffy's side. Ace quickly joined him. "Are you alright?" Harry asked Luffy. Luffy nodded through his tears. Suddenly Ace was picked up by the back of his shirt.

"What did you do?" Bluejam shouted as he slammed Ace into the ground and stomped on him. Harry quickly rushed to help but Bluejam just kicked him out of the way.

"You creepy little brat!" Bluejam bellowed as he turned and pointed a gun at Ace. His mouth-foaming as he lost the last of his sanity. "You trying to make a fool out of me?" Both Harry and Luffy got up on to their knees calling out to Ace, begging Bluejam not to shoot him.

The gun went off but to the brothers' relief the bullet missed Ace by an inch or two. Everyone looked to see that Dadan of all people holding Bluejam by the arm and holding it away from Ace.

(In Wakandan accent) As you can see I am not dead. (Normal voice) Yea no real excuse this time except life being life, two jobs being two jobs, and moving and adjusting to my new apartment. I will be working on the new chapter as soon as I am able/properly motivated too. As alway please leave a review. Alert it to be notified of the next chapter. Favorite once it's done and I will see you all in the next chapter.

A note to Supernatural fans: I am planning on starting a new series (yea I know I'm working on a big enough project that I rarely update on as is but once again the plot bunnies won't leave me alone). I'm gonna call it the Wayward Father series. Basically it follows the Supernatural plot starting with the second season with just one difference. John doesn't die! I'll go into more detail when I start the fic up but it will be John following his sons through the rest of the show. If you guys are into something like that please keep an eye out for Carry On My Wayward Father and let me know what you think once I post the first chapter.
