The Red Haired Devil

Chapter 4

Luffy ran at Ace to attack, spinning his arm like crazy, "Gum Gum Pistol!" he yelled sending out his punch which ricocheted and hit himself in the face.

"I told you... What the hell are you trying to do?!" Ace yelled kicking Luffy in the face.

"It's over," Sabo said drawing on the board.

"My turn!" Kairi said. "I'm going against you, Ace!" They both grinned and attacked. Ace threw a punch at Kairi's face and she ducked and went to kick his feet. He jumped and she did a front flip and jumped into the air in front of him. She acted like she was going to punch him and then slammed her knee into his stomach. They dropped to the ground and Kairi landed in a crouched position. "I win!" Sabo and Ace were up next, which Ace won. Luffy and Sabo were then next.

Sabo ran at Luffy and Luffy just stood there.

"Are you sure?! I won't hold back!" Sabo yelled and Luffy chuckled.

"Gum Gum..."

"Again?" He grabbed his fingers and stretched them out.

"Shield!"

"He just extended his fingers." Sabo came to a stop in front of him. "This...," he pulled them back away from Luffy's face, "is funny."

"S-Stop!" He let them go causing Luffy to fly back and roll up a tree. Ace sighed.

"I've already told many times... Is your fruit useful for anything?" he asked.

"Crap! It won't work! Just a little more...," Luffy complained. "Again!"

"No, we can only fight one hundred times a day. Wait until tomorrow," Sabo tallied up the matches.

"Hey, when I'm ten, I'll kick your ass!" Luffy yelled.

"By then, we'll be thirteen and Kairi will be almost twelve. We'd better go look for some food."

They went to lake that had crocodiles all in it and they stood in a tree above it.

"Well, we'll eat crocodile," Ace said and Kairi grinned.

"Sounds good to me," she replied looking down at the crocodiles.

"Crocodile meat is delicious," Luffy said excitedly watching the crocodiles.

"Luffy, make sure not to get eaten, the last time we had to save you," Sabo said.

"Just watch, you'll only be a hindrance," Ace said biting his thumb.

"Crocodile meat!" he yelled jumping in and Kairi face palmed.

"I told you to watch!"

"He never listens," she mumbled as they jumped in after him.

Kairi growled as she looked down at the dress she was forced to wear. Luffy, Sabo, and Ace hid under a cloak while she was next to them dressed up like a noble. She wore her hair braided and since she was wearing a dress, it was hard to recognize who she was. They began walking into the city but was stopped.

"Hey, stop, what's that?" the guard asked.

"Crocodile leather for sale," Sabo answered.

"Crocodile?" They uncovered the crocodile to prove it is what they say. "G-Go ahead." They covered it back up and went in. Kairi kept her head down just to make sure no one would notice her. They began walking past a bunch of hooligans.

"It seems like you're carrying something valuable there," someone said as they all walked forward laughing. "Answer, you bastard!"

"Shut up, you criminal," Ace replied and Kairi grinned.
