One Piece: And The Original - Chapter 7

The look on Dadans face when she saw Sabo with us when we came back. It was priceless. We even shared a cup of sake that Ace stole from Dadan.

———————————————————————————————————————–

(flashback)

Three of them are sitting around a round block of wood. On top of that wood are 4 round red sake cups. As they are waiting Ace walks up with a bottle of sake in his hands.

“We’ll leave each leave when the time comes, we might set sail independently”

“Oh you stole that from Dadan” Luffy says as he sees Ace come up with a bottle of sake that Dadan keeps in a hidden drawer.

“Did you guys know” Ace continues, ignoring Luffy’s comment. ” We can become brothers and sisters if we exchange this cup of sake!” Ace says as he slowly fills all the cups with sake.

“Brothers and sisters!?! Really?” Luffy asks.

“When we set sail we might not be on the same ship, but we will always be siblings! Where ever we are, and what ever you do, we will always be bonded together! From now on we’ll always be brothers and sister!” Ace yells as all four of us toast before we drink the whole cup.

“YEAH!!”

After toasting we are always together, right now we where on our way to the city. Luffy, Ace and Sabo dressed as a tall man, and I as their daughter. People would give us strange looks, I don’t know if it was my eyes or the trio in their strange get up. Even though we look strange, after showing the man at the entrance something they would let us in with a smile on their faces.

After eating our fill we would leave trough the window and run away, I try to write an apology every time we do this, but Sabo picks it up each and every time. I get that he hates the nobles, but do we have to do this even to the other restaurants?

I asked Ace and Sabo this question as Luffy doesn’t understand. All that matters to him is food.

“If we only do it to the nobles they would think we have it out for them, well we do, but every now and then we should switch targets.” Ace and Sabo replied as they laughed it off. For the restaurants who have it worse off, I would leave some hunted animals at their back door with an apology and with a anonymous note to not tell anyone she left it there.

We didn’t go to the city at days it would rain, on those days we would hunt our own food and eat it with Dadan and the bandits. At times that we don’t look for food we would train and spar amongst ourselves. First Luffy against Ace. Then Ace against Sabo and last the winner against me. After our (my) little battle with Porchemy we decided who was strongest. Ace still grumbles that a girl is stronger than him, and that girl is even 5 years younger.

After every spar we would write up the wins and losses, Sabo, Ace and Luffy even decided that the winner at the end of the year gets to battle the bear king of the forest. Would the meat of the bear king taste different than a normal bear? I wonder what it tastes likes.

While I was cooking our meal for the evening I can hear Luffy, Ace and Sabo bickering who will become the greatest pirate. I could already hear Garp coming up the mountain when I started to cook, so now that I’m almost done I know the trio will have a hard time before dinner. As I open the door from the kitchen I smile at Garp who just silently came in, he looked at me and than at the three boys who are talking about their dreams.

“HOHOHO you two are still going on about that? I’m telling you, you’re gonna become marines! Why is it so hard to understand!?” Garp yells as two fists of love come down at two of the three idiots. At the same time he switches target.

“Dadan”

“Yes Garp-san” She responds as another fist comes down at Dadans head.

“Why’d you hit me too?” She cries while lying on the floor.

“Because I’m not happy at the way you’re raising the kids.” He says.

“That old guy is their grandpa Garp?” Sabo says as he looks horrified at the man who KO’ed Luffy and Ace.

“Kid, you where talking about going out to sea too, right?” Garp says while looking at Sabo with threatening eyes.

Please don’t say anything Luffy. He will die. I pray, but in vain as I see Luffy springing up.

“Not kid, he is Sabo, we shared a toast of brotherhood and swore to become pirates. All four of us have become siblings” As Luffy says that even my face paled. You damn idiot, you’re not enough so you have to drag me and Sabo with you?!?

Garp laughs as the turns to Sabo and me.
