The Daughter of the King (English)

Chapter 06 - And there were only two left - part 2

Hey guys, 

before you start reading I just wanted to let you know that the story might be not uploded in the next few weeks.

I'll be moving at the beginning of next month. You heard that right: This little Kitzune is now a big Kitsune (that sounds so weird 😅) and ready to live on her own!

This means that I will first have to set up my apartment, find a good network provider and generally get to grips with living alone.

But I can promise you: As soon as I upload again, you will not only get the actual chapter but also the ones that would have been uploaded. In short: Depending on how long it takes me, you could get a month's worth of chapters in one fell swoop! (It's only four chapters, but still).

I would like to thank you for your brief attention and hope you enjoy the story.

"Here I come, Ace!" Luffy shouted and ran towards the black-haired boy. He stood away from her with his arms crossed as she rotated her arm and shouted, "Gomu Gomu no Pistol!" Her arm shot at him with full force, no longer snaking like it had been at the beginning of their training. Ace took a step to the side at the last second. He was surprised at how far she had come in controlling her devil power. A wide grin graced her face as her arm flew wide. But that changed when her arm tightened again and hit her face amidst her scream. The impact caused her to fall backwards and her straw hat flew off her head. Ace laughed at the sight of his little sister. It seemed as if she was floating in the air while, unintentionally, rotating several times on her own axis. "What the hell was that? Do you call that a fight?" he asked her in a good mood. She lay on the floor, dazed. "No matter how much power you put into it, it's no use if you can't even hit me. I told you rubber is useless for fighting." Luffy sat up, her brown eyes sparkling with anger as she yelled at him, "Shut up! Stop saying that!" "What?! Are you telling me I'm wrong?!" Ace snapped, his hot temper seeming to come to the fore once again, "You're just an anchor who's immune to bullets!" Luffy was now standing directly in front of Ace, her forehead pressed against his. "Don't make fun of the Gomu Gomu no Mi! One day I'll bet you! Despite everything, I'm already working on a technique that's even more powerful than a pistol!" 

"Luffy, good job! Your arm has stretched further than yesterday!" a familiar voice came from the side of the two arguing. Ace turned to the person and pointed his finger at him before saying, "Sabo! You're way too nice with Luffy!" Luffy also turned to him, a broad smile adorning her face. She threw her arms up in the air, her eyes closed as she shouted happily, "I've really gotten stronger! Stronger than I was yesterday! Hey, Sabo!" She happened to say the last sentence with Ace. They looked at the spot where their blonde brother was standing and saw... 

...a large stone. Both of their faces blushed as they realized that they had only imagined Sabo. Luffy pressed her lips together, lowered her head and took a few steps away from Ace. He followed her with his eyes. She sighed in disappointment and said, "Sabo was such a nice older brother." Ace looked at her in horror before his temper flared up again. "What's that supposed to mean?! Would you have preferred it if I had died?!" Now Luffy got angry. "I didn't say that!" How did Ace come up with such a stupid idea?! Of course she would prefer it if Sabo was still with them! "But that's what you meant to say!" Ace shouted at her before headbutting her. Luffy screamed briefly and held her head. Could it perhaps be that the ability to hurt her despite her rubber powers was hereditary in the Monkey D. family? "Sabo never hit me!" "What was that?!" "What wrong with you?! Would you mind being a little nicer?!" "Absolutely not!"
