Luffy stumbled upon Ace and a blonde boy atop a towering tree. Their voices carried through the air, discussing dreams of setting sail and conquering the seas. With unwavering determination, Luffy declared his own dream of becoming the King of the Pirates, shocking Ace and his companion into silence.

"Ace, who is this kid?" the blonde boy asked, bewildered.

"He's nobody," Ace snapped, glaring at Luffy. "Just ignore him."

But the blonde boy, Sabo, recognized Luffy and approached him with curiosity. Before he could say more, Ace intervened, dragging Luffy away and scolding him for intruding.

However, as they continued to argue, Sabo couldn't help but notice Luffy's innocence and determination. He introduced himself to Luffy, though he knew it wasn't the right time.

Later, when Luffy stumbled upon Ace and Sabo hiding stolen cash, they tied him up, fearing he would betray their secret. Luffy's cries for help only worsened the situation, leaving him bruised and battered.

Despite their distrust, Ace and Sabo were surprised to find Luffy hadn't revealed their hiding spot when the authorities arrived. They began to see Luffy in a new light, realizing his loyalty.

That night, as they all slept in Dadan's house, Luffy found himself sandwiched between Ace and Sabo, holding onto their hands and spreading his legs across theirs in a display of innocent affection. Sabo, waking up briefly, couldn't help but smile at Luffy's adorable face, while Ace, secretly admiring Luffy's resilience, pretended not to care.

The next morning, Dadan discovered the addition of Sabo to their household, adding to her frustration with the trio's lack of responsibility and constant escapades. Despite Dadan's scolding, the boys continued to defy expectations, building a treehouse named ASL and embarking on their adventures.

In a touching moment, Luffy retrieved his flower crown and placed it atop Sabo's head, declaring him to be kinder than Ace. When Luffy surprised them both with a kiss on Sabo's cheek, Ace couldn't help but react, questioning Luffy's motives. With a playful retort, Luffy crossed his arms, prompting Ace to realize that perhaps he cared more than he let on.

As Sabo basked in the unexpected affection, the bond between the three boys grew stronger, setting the stage for the legendary adventures that awaited them.
