I Will Always Protect You

(Y/N): Your Name | (H/T): Hair Texture

"Of course, I did the laundry," I mumbled going up the ladder and hanging clothes, "He didn't even offer to help!! I'm always doing the chores by myself!" I shouted out loud hearing a faint shut up from Magra, he reminds me of a rooster sometimes.

"LET ME GO!" I heard a little boy scream, "I'm going to be King of the Pirates!"

"NO, YOU ARE NOT," I heard a familiar voice going up the hill and smiled knowing it was Grandpa Garp.

"Grandpa!" I yelled going down the ladder and running towards him giving him a big hug.

"(Y/N)! How is my favorite grandchild doing?" He said picking me up and giving me a bigger hug back.

"Good," I giggled but then stopped and pouted, "Until Ace made me do the laundry by myself!"

"Let's both give him our 'Fist of Love' then," He laughed and I joined in with him. Sometimes I feel as if grandpa is the only one on my side.

"Grandpa, who is that?" The little boy from a couple of seconds ago asked.

"This is Monkey D. (Y/N) and she's eight," Grandpa put me down and I walked towards the boy.

"It's a pleasure to meet you," I brought out my hand so he can shake it but he just picked his nose instead.

"I am Monkey D. Luffy and I am going to be King of the Pirates!" He shouted confidently.

"Monkey? Grandpa is he..." I looked at Luffy and quickly shifted my eyes to grandpa for confirmation.

"Yes, he is your little brother," Looking at him I can see the similarities we share. Black hair, wide eyes, and of course our smiles. But his hair was different, mine was (H/T) while Luffy's hair was shaggy and straight.

"How old is he? AND WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME BEFORE!!" I was furious that I was living my life while never knowing I had a younger brother.

"Seven and there's a reason I didn't tell you!" he nervously scratched the back of his head while I gave him an annoyed look.

Grandpa went inside the house to have a chat with Dadan, our caretaker. Dadan is a tall, big middle-aged woman with long curly orange hair. She is the boss of a mountain bandit family,  the Dadan Family. If anything she didn't look like a woman but at least she doesn't know I think so.

Grandpa had told her that she had to watch over another child, but she refused. However, grandpa threatened to take her to jail for all the crimes he decided to look away from. This leads us to an additional member of our mountain bandit family.

While grandpa and Dadan were chatting Luffy decided to go out and explore the jungle around us. I decided to watch from a distance to make sure he don't accidentally get swallowed up by a beast.

"What is this place?" Luffy ran around excitedly, he was pretty adorable but I couldn't help but sigh. 'Hopefully he isn't like Ace.' 

I heard Dadan, Magra, and Dogra arguing with grandpa behind me about how they can't control Ace anymore and about them not wanting to take in another child. Seems like they didn't mind me since I actually did the chores.

While all this was happening Luffy was still in his own little world picking his nose and attempting to catch dragonflies. Until he encountered Ace sitting on top of a dead alligator who threw a spitball at Luffy's face. This then started another small argument but between Ace and Luffy this time.

"Oh, Ace!" Grandpa said happy to see his other grandchild. "Luffy, this is Ace. He's three years older than you," But Luffy kept glaring at Ace and Ace did the same. Grandpa hit Luffy at the back of his head making Luffy rub his bump right after. "Be nice," He sternly told him and gave Ace a look as well. He knows how Ace gets around new people.
