Last time in Chapter 3...

Luffy always looks after the hut, when he has the time he looks after the Foosha village. Why? Because a long time ago when he was the Pirate King, Arrogant marines came and destroyed the whole island, leaving the nobles to escape and took the places where Luffy cherished and protected the most, after that Luffy heard the news and came, Luffy saw Makino dead in the Partys Bar, on the ground. Each of them dead and when he came to the hut all of them were dead. The marines said that pirates came and lost everything he had... 'This time I won't lose everyone, I won't let anyone kill the people I love... I won't let them do it... I came here to protect them, and I won't let them do whatever they please... This time, this time I'm going to protect them and won't let them die...' Luffy's memories of everyone dying flashes at his eyes, a single tear came out which didn't come unnoticed to Ace who was looking at him.

Ace and Sabo ran as fast as they could, sweats forming on their face as they tighten their grip on their pipe, it's been evening and they had to save Luffy.

FLASHBACK

"I wonder how much it takes to buy a pirate ship..." Sabo asks Ace who looked at their pirate fund and looks at Sabo back.

"Dunno, ten million or a hundred million beli? We've still got a long way to go." Ace responds as pauses for a second. "Shut it quick. Or someone might see it..." suddenly Luffy came behind the tree.

"A pirate ship!? Are you guys gonna be pirates!? So am I!" Luffy says, as always, gleefully. Sabo and Ace look at Luffy with a stunned and horrified face, the two jumped and quickly roped Luffy at the tree. "Ace, you come out here every day?" Luffy asks at Ace, grinning.

"Shut it" Ace coldly says as he crosses his arms.

"Is this that Luffy guy you told me?" Sabo asks Ace as Luffy turns to Sabo with his eyebrow raised.

"What did he told you about me?" Luffy asks as Sabo looks at Luffy.

"He said you were weird, and you don't sleep." Sabo responds while Ace glares at Sabo who look confused giving him 'what-did-I-do' look, Luffy made a blank face yet his eyes wide, which took the attention of the two but Luffy quickly grinned and looked at them.

"Let's kill him." Ace says casually while and Sabo looks at him

"Yeah, let's do it." Sabo says as he nods. Luffy only sighed at their naiveness

"Do you know what happens when you kill?" Luffy says while the two looked at Luffy, before Luffy could've talked, Ace glares at Luffy.

"Shut up! What do you know about us anyway!? We're not the same at you!" Ace yells in anger while Sabo tried calming him down.

"We might be different in many ways, but we have some similarities." Luffy says painfully while the two was confused but then they heard in the bush a voice.

"I heard voices from the forest! Sounds like kids..." An unknown person shouts and Sabo and Ace tensed.

"Crap! Someone's coming!" Sabo whispers as Ace looked behind him with a panicked face.

"Quick, undo the rope! If we don't get out of here, they're gonna find out treasure!" Ace whispers and they immediately hid behind the bush, it showed a big man and two men on his side.

"Those kids are pretty famous around here. It was definitely Ace that stole your money!" The big man says while the man that Ace robbed was behind him, ace stiffened.
