One Piece: And The Original - Chapter 5

“Sabo? Why are there people living in the trash?” is say while looking at Sabo with questioning eyes and tilting my head. Though I already know the answer, asking makes him think I know nothing about nobles and the situation at hand.

“Well…. its because they don’t have enough money and status to live in the city. The nobles won’t allow it. Also they call it the Grey Terminal” He says with a slightly pained look.

“But why are they living in the trash when they can live in a village, and what are the nobles doing, what is their job or purpose?” I continue, making me genuinely more interested. What do nobles even do in this world. I know they are mostly corrupt and useless, but do they have further functions making them even a bit, well, not useless.

“Nobles are scum. They do anything to make their life the best they can while making the common people suffer. That what isn’t beautiful is thrown out in the trash. All that is ugly is outside the city. They see people that they can’t use as trash as they look down on them, that is what nobles are and why these people live like they are now.”

Sabo looks angry at the mountains of trash that surrounds the city as we walk towards the trees at the edge of the grey terminal. There we see huge trees as I hear someone screaming. Why is that voice so familiar? As I look at the direction the voice is coming from I see Luffy as he is looking for Ace. As Luffy disappears again in the forest I see Ace coming from atop of a tree.

“Sabo, I stashed everything away, what took you so lo…..” He stops mid-sentence as he feels something cold, and sees red eyes appear behind Sabo.

“Sabo…what is she doing with you?” He says stiffly as he looks my way.

“What you already know each other? That makes it easier. Ace let Jess join us, she is super strong you know.” He says with pleading eyes as he looks at Ace.

“Why should we let a girl join. And is she really strong? look at those arms, they are as thin as wigs, how can she be strong?” Ace scoffs as he looks at me.

I give him a death stare back as I can’t wait to beat him up.

“I am at least stronger than you! look at you, you can’t even outrun Luffy” I scoff as I look with mocking eyes back at him.

“Haaa!! you are 5 years younger, how can you be stronger than me, you little baby”

I grit my teeth as I am about to rush at him and punch him in the face. What can I do. I was born with this body and babyface. He doesn’t have to rub it in. Even I know I’m not growing that fast, now I really want to break his nose. I take a step forward, ready to take a swing at Ace, but at that moment Luffy comes out of the bushes. “Oi, Ace I found you, so you where here” He jells with a big smile.

“F*ck” he rushes up to Luffy and tries to make hun shut up. While they bicker I reflect on my thoughts. It seems like this body of a child influences my thoughts and actions. I need to keep calm and logical.

“So this is that Luffy you talked about, he really is an idiot” Sabo says while rubbing his head. Breaking me away from my thoughts.

“Sabo we have to move ‘it’. They know where it is now, we can’t keep it here. They definitely can’t keep a secret” As he looks at us, but mostly Luffy.

“I can keep a secret!” Luffy jells.

“Sabo let’s get rid of him” He looks at Luffy with a dark expression.

“Don’t kill me!!! Don’t throw me in the water!!!” He screams while crying. My brother really is an idiot.

“Josh let’s throw him in the water” They say while pulling up their sleeves.

“Just leave him here tied up and replace your treasure. You can pick him up later, so don’t kill my brother, idiot number 2” I sigh while cursing at Ace. Garp will kill him if he kills Luffy.

“Who are you calling an idiot! You… You are the Idiot!, Idiot!” Ace jells back.

“And that proves my point” I say while I shake my head at his remark.

As we bicker we can hear voices coming closer.

“Hey boss, did you hear that…”

“Now look who is the idiot, let’s go, quickly!” I try to free Luffy from the ropes as the voices are getting closer. But the ropes are tied up to tight.

“Why couldn’t you tie him up looser you idiot” I curse at Ace while I struggle with the ropes. I can’t get I to loosen up without hurting Luffy in the process. As I look at the approaching people I look at Luffy.

“Luffy I will come back, so don’t tell them anything if you want to be friends with them” I whisper as I hide in the bushes. There are too many people, I can’t take them on alone. I look around to see no sign of Ace and Sabo. Big word but no action. I look up as I see a big guy with a sword approach Luffy. He grabs him by his shirt as he lifts him up.

“ACE, Sis, save me!!!” he cries out.

My hand touches my head. You idiot. I look at the bushes a few meters away from Luffy and the gang of I think pirates. Ace and Sabo their faces are filled with black lines as they curse inwardly.

As the guy is interrogating Luffy he asks about the treasurer we saw earlier. I know what kind of pokerface Luffy has as I hit my head. He’s dead.

Luffy his face gets filled with sweat, his eyebrows raised, eyes are looking away and his mouth is pulled in a sideway pout.

“I don’t know” he says with his terrible pokerface, making even de group of pirates amazed. A grin appears on the leaders face as he takes Luffy with him as he walks away.. It doesn’t take long for the gang of pirates have disappeared, and Luffy with them.
