Luffy skipped in front of his brother and the mountain bandit happily, humming softly.
He was gonna see Sabo again..! He was so excited..!
Luffy gasped as he spotted the cliff that was on the side of the harbor, running to it quickly, giggling loudly.
"Oi Luffy! Don't run ahead..!" Luffy heard a low growl come from his older brother Ace, which he ignored, sitting then staring at the open ocean, before his eyes traveled to the large crowd at the docks.
Wow..! So many nobles in one place..!
A bitter taste formed on his tongue as he remembered the fire. Bluejam told the two of them how evil the nobles were, even though the pirate captain wanted to be one himself. Luffy continued to stare at the crowd, blinking once.
Even though it sounded crazy, he didn't blame Bluejam. Sure, you were free outside of the walls of the kingdom's capital, able to do as you wished-- well, to an extent.
Though he had to admit, the food in the capital was delicious!! Not to mention the awful stench of Grey Terminal the raven-haired boy got used to wasn't there, and the streets were so clean- even though the people in the city stunk more than the trash surrounding it's walls.
He remembered Sabo telling him and Ace how awful being a noble was, at least for him. Listening to the young noble, Luffy thought the Dadan Family sounded more like a real family than all the nobles did. Though Luffy had started to grow trust in the bandits after they saved him from the fire-
"Hey stupid! Are you listening?"
Luffy was snapped out of his thoughts, his head being to hurt when he realized how much he was thinking. The rubber boy turned to his brother Ace, his innocent smile spreading across his cheeks.
"Oops, sorry Ace what did you say?"
Ace let out a growl of annoyance as he hit Luffy harshly on the head, making the younger boy whimper in pain.
"The reason for the damn fire is right before our eyes Luffy! Geez did you forget why we were here?!" Ace pointed towards a giant boat, glaring at the man with a bubble looking thing on his head.
Sabo..?- No oops.
Luffy followed his brother's finger, blinking at the large ship in awe-
Wait..-
He saw the ship yes, but- what was that boat doing out there..?!
"Holy crap guys, it's Sabo!" Dogra yelped as he stared through his binoculars he found at Grey Terminal.
Luffy gasped as Ace turned towards Dogra, eyes showing complete shock. "Wait Sab--?!"
A loud explosion rang through air as Ace and Luffy's eyes flashed toward the fishing boat, eyes filled with horror.
They shot at him..!
Luffy felt another hard knock on his head, his large eyes staring at Ace.
"LUFFY DON'T JUST STAND THERE!! MAKE YOUR DEVIL FRUIT POWERS USEFUL FOR ONCE AND HELP SABO!!"
Luffy blinked at Ace before nodding, standing up, then stretching his arm out behind his small frame.
"Gum-Gum.. PISTOL!"
He aimed as best he could at Sabo's burning ship, hoping to grab his other brother and not make his arm fall into the ocean. When his small hand reached the half destroyed boat, he smiled as he felt himself grab a hold of Sabo, then pull his brother towards him.
"YOU FILTHY COMMONER! DON'T GET IN MY WAY!!"
Luffy looked towards the Celestial Dragon in fear as he pointed his large cannon-like gun as him, shooting at the 7 year-old. The smaller sized, but still large, cannonball struck Luffy's small chest, throwing the boy against a tree- a large dent in the side of the tree, losing consciousness .
"LUFFY!!" Ace shouted in horror.
Sabo hit the ground, Luffy's small arm retracted to his damaged body. The blonde-haired kid stared at his little brother, gasping.
"LUFFY!"
The two older brothers ran towards their baby brother, shaking his weak frame. Ace shook Luffy harshly by the shoulders, growling. "Oi Luffy! Wake up!!"
Sabo bit his lip as he stared at Luffy. The young noble jumped as he felt Dogra put his hand on Sabo's shoulder, blinking at him in worry before looking at Ace.
"Hurry! We need to bring him back to the Boss!"
Ace and Sabo nodded as the blonde-haired child picked up him younger brother and started racing towards the wooden house, biting his lip.
This was his fault! He couldn't even comprehend what happened because it was so quick..!
Sabo shook the guilt from his mind.
Not now Sabo! You have to make sure Luffy will be okay first!!
