Chapter 1 ,
It was a normal day for Ace Sabo and Luffy. Having to scavenge for pipes since Luffy had broken his while trying to fight a giant tiger Grey Terminal. Also that had anything of value since they were already there.
Until 3 suspicious looking men quietly arrived at the Goa Kingdom at the port near Makinos bar. " Do you think we'd find anyone that our customers would like?" Person A asked. " Of course we can , we just need to look." Person B stated. " Alright let's just hurry so we can go back and get our cash." Person C growled impatiently. While they were talking they had also been walking to Grey Terminal was.
"Shishishishi! Ace fell on top of the pipe pile!" Luffy laughed while rolling the ground covered in trash.
"Oh shut up we're only here since you broke YOUR pipe , mines still in perfect condition!"Ace snarked back while looking at his own pipe, which was starting to bend.
"Ugh, come on stop bickering so we can find Luffy's pipe sooner. And when we do we'll have to head back to the forest to get food." Sabo said while shifting to look at other nearby pipes that luffy could use. After a good 20 minutes Sabo had grabbed a pipe that looked surprisingly good for it being thrown out
" Ok Luffy so how do you feel about this one?" Sabo asked Luffy. " Hmmmm." After what seemed like a good 2 minutes "I like it . It's not gonna be the same but oh well." Luffy said while shrugging. " FINALLY!" Ace had shouted making it seem that they were there for hours.
" Did you hear that?" Person C whispered to PA and PB. " Yea ….. you think that could be our new merchandise?" Person A asked with an evil smirk on his face, while licking his lips thinking about the money they'll get. " Well if it is then we gotta hurry an-". "Hold on there's 2 more kids." Person C had said while shushing Person B.
"Should we head over there so we can get a better view?" Person B questioned
"Good idea if we can get a better view that could mean that we can also get a better look at the new merchandise…." Person C had said while leading person A and B to where they had heard their new target.
"I'm so hungryyyyyyy!" Luffy annoyingly mentioned for the 100th time.
"Oh my god Luffy we get it you're hungry. If you hadn't broken your pipe we would have already eaten , but noooooo we had to come here for your Damm pipe!" Ace said while glaring at his younger brother.
"Oh come on ace loosen up a bit, don't act like you've never broken you pipe before." Sabo carefully mentioned while not trying to anger his barely older brother.
"Which one do you think would make us the most money?" Person B asked his suspiciously smirking partners. " I'll say this now, I bet $20 that the kid with the straw hat will make us the most money!" Person A said while silently laughing at his own bet.
"It doesn't really matter, but since we found more kids that would be fine merchandise. That just means that we'll just have more money to look forward too…'" Person C said while looking like he was scheming and think of a ruthless plan.
"Ok. Did you guys understand that plan?" Person C asked his 2 suspicious partners. "Yea . And I've gotta say that's one good plan…" Person B had said
"Did you guys hear that? It sounds like people talking?" Sabo had asked Turing to his older and younger brother.
The three men then stopped walking closer to see the other 3 boys, since they became a bit worried thinking that they might have heard their plan.
" Well duh I mean we are in Grey Terminal, what did you expect people shutting the hell up while he look for pipes?" Ace said sarcastically
"I didn't hear anything Sabo?" Luffy said while answering his older brother
"First of all shut the hell up Ace. Secondly, thank you Luffy for answering with such kindness unlike some siblings we have here." He had said while glaring at his older brother Ace.
"Oh cry me a river." Ace had annoyingly answered
The other 2 older brothers started arguing while the littlest of the 3 started walking a bit further from them. " Luffy don't walk too far off!" Sabo yelled to his younger brother while continuing to argue with Ace . "I won't!" Luffy yelled with a bit of annoyance in his voice.
"Jeez I'm not that stupid I know not to go far off." Luffy had started mumbling to himself. The three men had figured since the littlest one is separating from his 3 man group they would start their plan a little bit early.
"Ok we should get our plan in action now. " Person A had said almost sounding like a question. " Hmmmmm. Maybe." Person B had answered "Maybe we should wait a little till he's bit more further. See I think he's going to that huge pile. When he does he'll out of view to his little group." Person C had said with an almost spine shivering smirk
"We just need him to head there a bit more quickly so we can then catch him" Person C had said while throwing a little pearl necklace in the pile that luffy had originally been looking at . And the pile that Luffy had been looking at was also pretty far away from his 2 brothers.
"Oooooo this looks like it would be of good value, And it's in good condition!" Luffy had said with such excitement as he ran to the pile where the pear necklace was.
" See told you." Person C proudly said to his 2 partners who looked a bit shocked that Luffy actually went over there.
