I Got Ya!

Shanks, Ace, and Sabo

A man with red hair sat a bar. An arm was propped up on the table and his hand held his head in place.He lifts his arm from his head to swish the liquor in his cup around before taking a gulp of it. It was rare for such royalty to be in a common place but the people inside the bar seemed to be totally okay with it seeing as the man would often pay visits every other day.

Outside the bar a young man with loose curly hair and freckles could be seen. Another stood next to him, he had blonde hair and wore a little frown on his face.

"How the hell do you loose a seventeen year old boy in half a day?" The freckled boy answer. The blonde shrugged and let out a sigh. "Usually he'd turn up by now..." He leaned on the pipe he had. The other tips his hat down to get the sunlight out of his face. He narrows his eyes and presses his lips into a thin line.

"So...." He said side glancing at the other. "Who's gonna tell him..?" The blonde stiffened at the words and shot the other a glare. "You of course. He's your and Luffy's father. You're not dragging me down this time Ace." The other- Ace- groaned. "C'mon Sabo." The blonde, Sabo, let his pipe rest on his shoulder before walking over to the other. He stopped in front of Ace and looked him seriously in the eye. He brings up his pipe and slams it down, almost hitting the other on the shoulder of it. It was enough to make Ace flinch though.

"Be happy I love you and your knuckleheaded brother." He said and uses his pipe to tip Ace's hat up. He got on his tip toes and gave Ace a kiss on the jaw. "I'll go in there with you. Knowing Shanks he won't get too mad. If he's in a good mood."

"Riigght." Ace drawled out. He stepped forward and opened the door to the bar. Sabo rested his pipe on his shoulder while walking behind Ace, greeting people as they advanced forward. Once the two reached the man Ace tapped his shoulder. The red haired man stretched his neck before looking over his shoulder at the two and giving a heart filled smile. "Ah, Ace, Sabo. What can I do you two for? Something the matter?" He asks noticing the look on their faces.

"Luffy." He answered simply to the other. The older man raises an eyebrow. "What about 'im" he asks, scratching his chin. A woman comes out from the back of the bar with a few more bottles with a new bottle of sake. She places on them on the bar table and smiles at the two boys. "Hello, Ace, Sabo. Nice day is it?" She said in greeting. "Evening, Makino." Ace greeted. "Good evening Ms. Makino." Sabo said.

Ace then turned his head back to the older man. "He's been missing..." He told him. The man shrugs. "He's always miss-"

"Its been a day and a half." Sabo interjected, hating how slow Ace was taking this. Ace gave the other a side glance before going back to the red head. He had downed about half a bottle of liquor before coming to a halt at the blonde's words. "A day and a half?"

"We've check everywhere Shanks." Sabo mumbled, seeing a serious look in the man, Shanks, eyes. The man finished his bottle and stood up. "Thank you Makino." He says and pays her the right amount. She nods and accepts it. Shanks walks out the bar with Ace and Sabo not too far behind

Luffy

"It was nice for the navy to give us a boat." Luffy said happily. The soldiers were so kind to give them a boat as their thank you. Luffy hopped on happily, grinning like an idiot. Zoro shook his head with a smile on his face as he drops the bags of food in the boat.

"I guess we're ready now. We don't have a map so it's gonna take us awhile." Luffy looked back at him with a smile still on his face. "We'll just keep going from island to island. We'll find a map on the next island." Zoro untied the rope of the boat and sat it inside.

"LUFFY-SAN!! ZORO-SAN!!" A voice called to them when they began to set off. Both turn to see Koby and the soldiers on the docks. They all gave a salute.
