Transported (A ONE PIECE Fanfiction)

Chapter 2

Justin was grinning at me when I saw him downstairs. He looked happy today and I do not know why. He never grins at me whenever he comes home.

"You fine now, Tala?" Justin asked.

"Justin," I called. "I... I like you to meet someone."

He blinked curiously. "Who?"

"You'll see. Let's go to my room."

And he obliged. We went upstairs where my room was located. I do not know if this was the right choice. Letting my younger brother meet Ace. Well, I cannot hide Ace in our house. Justin was just eleven years old. I hoped he can keep a secret.

I opened the door of my room. It revealed Ace who was still sitting in my chair. He still looks the same after I left him a minute ago. But you can tell that he still have lot of questions. He was brooding by the looks of it. His face was stoic but when he saw my younger brother, he became curious.

"And who is he?" Ace asked.

"I should be the one asking that. You're the one in our house." Justin replied back with a scowl.

"Justin!" I scolded him. He really has no manners at all. I introduced them to each other to clear this up. "Ace, this is my younger brother Justin. Justin, this is Portgas D. Ace. As you already know, he's a One Piece character."

Ace raised his eyebrows as he looked at Justin. Justin, on the other hand, was shock. He looked at me and then to Ace and then to me again. He probably thinks that I am an idiot. I do not blame him. I probably thinks that I am too.

"Tala, you're not supposed to let a stranger inside our house especially now that you're sick. I left you for just seven hours and this happens?!" Justin said aghast.

"I'm telling you the truth! This is Ace!" I tried arguing to him.

Justin then turned to Ace. "Mister? Can I ask who the hell are you and what are you doing in our house?"

"Justin! Mind your manners!"

"Your sister already told you." Ace was taking this situation far more better than I expected.

"You're both crazy..." Justin muttered. "Tala, what do you think Mom and Dad's reaction 'bout this?"

"Ugh, Justin! Why can't you just believe me!?" I questioned annoyed.

"'Cause you're crazy!" Justin replied with a yell. He then turned to Ace. "If you're really Ace, who's your brothers?"

"Luffy... And Sabo." Ace answered. I did not even expected him to answer like that.

"What's your Devil Fruit?"

"The Mera-Mera no mi."

"How much is your bounty?"

"550 million beri."

Justin then turned at me with an angry scowl. "Pretty good actor you've got there, Tala."

"Justin! For the last time, he's the real deal!" I yelled at him annoyed.

"This is stupid! Portgas D. Ace is not real and he's de -"

I managed to stopped the mouth of Justin before he could say the word. I put my hand in his mouth and did not let him go. His saliva was in my hand now which was disgusting but I did not mind it at the moment. It will be over now if Ace would know that he died.

"What did you say?" Ace inquired.

Damn, why do Ace need to asked something like that? I let Justin go and I rubbed his saliva off. After that, I quickly said a lie to the pirate.
