I Will Protect You As Cora-San Did For Us

Chapter 48: Sabo appears! The boy from the gray terminal.

They went down to the place.

Miyuki: Look around. (This place are full of junks. The inhabitants here seems... It must be outlaws. Ji-sama did told me that across this mountain there is a kingdom and a place where the outlaws live. This is horrible! Even for a criminal to live shouldn't they at least send them to a decent place.)

Luffy: Shouts. "Ace!"

Miyuki: (This must be gray terminal. Where all crime and disease happened. Why did ace-san came here?)

She remembered dadan's word.

Miyuki: (Even if it's for stealing. Something is not right. If ace-san did some theft here why would dadan-san and her bandits seems to lack on money? Ace-san seems to be hiding something.)

Luffy fall down from on top of the pile of junk.

Miyuki: Go to him. "Luffy! Oh my goodness! Are you alright?"

Luffy: "Oh yeah, i'm okay! What's that?" Look at thing next to him.

Miyuki: Frown. "That's a human skull luffy."

Luffy: "Human skull? Cool!"

They climb to a higher place going here and there searching for ace.

Luffy: Stick his head inside a hole. "He's not here..."

He tried to pull his head out but got stuck. After a few struggle he managed to get out but was slammed into a barrel.

Miyuki: "Good gracious! Luffy could you please be more careful. This is not our place! We don't know what kind of place is this yet."

Luffy: Get up. "But miyuki it's fun! Oi! Where'd you go? Ace!"

Miyuki: Facepalm. "For the love of... Never mind. I should've guessed he won't listen. That's why it's my job to look after him aren't i ji-sama." Follow luffy.

Luffy: Look around. "Ace!"

While walking around they heard a commotion going on.

"Thief!"

Suddenly a man bumped into luffy.

"Get outta my way, kid!"

Luffy: Look up at him.

"Hurry up! If you don't move soon..." Pulled out his knife.

Miyuki: Stand in front luffy. "Back off if you know what's good for you! If you hurt my brother i'll make you pay for it!"

Then they heard an angry voices behind the man.

"He ran this way!"

The man quickly ran away and leave them alone.

Miyuki: Sigh in relief. "Good thing nothing happens."

After half an hour searching they finally saw ace running back into the forest.

Luffy: Grin. "There he is!"

Miyuki: (He's carrying something. It seems suspicous...)

They followed ace back into the woods.

As they got nearer they heard people talking on top of tree.

Miyuki: (I can sense another presence besides ace-san. It must be his acquittance. They were talking about pirate ships. Are they intending to sail out to the sea?)

Luffy: "Pirate ships?!" He said it loudly.

Both of them were surprised to hear his voice.

Luffy: "Are you guys gonna be pirates?! So am i! Oi!"
