Transported (A ONE PIECE Fanfiction)

Chapter 11

I was hanging out in Justin's room. I have nothing else to do right now so maybe I can annoy my brother by my mere presence in here. He was currently playing GTA V on his console and grinning like a madman.

"Ace was blaming himself again?" Justin asked still playing. "I heard him crying in your room last night."

I sighed in defeat. I cannot really hide things from him. "How can we help him, Jus?"

"Only time will tell." He paused his game and turned to me. "We shouldn't have pushed him but yeah, we didn't anticipated that reaction from him. It's the second time now..."

"I didn't realize until last night that he and Robin experienced the same thing..." I mumbled coherently.

"Stop blaming yourself, Tal. Ace will be fine. I believe he will. Not now but one day."

I lay down on his blue bed sheets and stared at the ceiling. Justin continued playing silently. After a while, I was getting bored. I get my phone out of my pocket and started to scroll down on Instagram. And most of the posts of my friends were one thing.

"Hey, Jus. Do you want to go to an amusement park?"

Justin just stared at me while pausing his game again. "Once again, who are you and what did you do to my sister?"

I snorted. "Very funny and original, lil' bro."

"Okay, why do you want to be in an amusement park right now?" Justin scowled. "It's about Ace again?"

I gently laughed. "Why does it always has to be Ace..."

"It's not that I'm calling Ace a problem or anything." Justin cleared his throat. "You're trying to lighten his mood aren't you?"

"Yeah. I want him to experience the outside world. He's always staying in our house."

Justin ran his fingers in his hair before grinning. "I'll go tell Ace. We're gonna have so much fun!"

The amusement park has always been full of people on weekends. Families came here as a mean of fun and relaxation. I have a lot of good memories here since our family used to go here a lot.

Justin and I offered our parents to come with us but they said they're busy and maybe next time. They gave us our money and said to have fun. I was disappointed but I didn't show it.

"So what first?" Ace asked as he surveyed his surroundings. He had a smile on his face. He was still wearing his orange cowboy hat. He wore a simple gray t-shirt and blue jeans.

"Oh, I know!" Justin gave us a wide grin before pointing in the distance. "Let's ride the Viking!"

That moment, I did a face palm and shook my head. "Again, Justin... Just because Ace is a pirate, doesn't mean we have to introduce him to pirate-y stuffs."

He huffed. "C'mon! It'll be fun!"

"It seems interesting though." Ace laughed. "Let's go."

"Anyway, Ace. I'm warning you. The line before getting into the ride is hell." I explained.

"Don't worry, I'll be patient."

Justin and I shared a look and then look at Ace with our face forming a frown.

"Okay now you two stop that." Ace scowled.

"We'll believe it when we see it." I teased.

Justin nodded in agreement.

After a few screams here and there at the Viking, we have survived our first ride.

"That was fun!" Ace yelled, grinning.
