In his Memories Lies the Unspoken Truth

(Older Luffy AU) Fogotten:Part 1

"I still don't know why slave traders can't seem to get that 'if you bitch out in a teretory of the Whitebeard Pirates You're screwed.' "Ace grumbled as he put his hands on his pockets.

"Just do your job-yoi. You're just being Lazy." Marco replied with his same bored expression while walking alongside his comrade.

"Though.. they did said that there is only one more 'slave' here." Ace said.

"I know that-yoi. Stop repeating your lines." Marco replied as he sighed.

"Who is that 'slave' anyways? I thought all the cages have been opened? so why not escape?" Ace grumbled once again, greatly being pissed off by that one person that is the reason of him having more job.

"Ace.. Are you that lazy?" Sabo asked his brother dumfounded.

Ace just avert his brother's eyes and look at the other direction, while whistling inoccently, while he sweats a bucket.

"The guards said he's a stubborn one-yoi. He also have a devil fruit." Marco replied.

Soon after their little conversation they have arrived in front of a cell, where there is a man who is in his mid twenties.
[Picture above]

"What's your name-yoi?" Marco asked the man who was sitting.

The man then lifted his head to look at the pineap-- I mean pirate.

Marco was met with just silence.

"Are you mute-yoi?" Marco asked again.

Silence again.

"Maybe he's deaf?" Ace suggested.

"Oi Ace. Don't that person look familliar?" Thacht asked.

"Dunno, he looks familliar but at the same time not."

"I know you can hear me yoi. Talk." Marco said with a tic mark.

The man just snorted in response at the annoyed faces of the two pirates.

"Oi. For the last time. What.is.your.name." Ace repeated a little annoyed. He waved his flaming hand [literally] as a warning.

"...My name's Lu.." The man replied who was now 'Lu' as he stood up and dusted his pants.

"Lu?" Ace repeated.

"Lu."

"Is your mom that lazy to just name you with two letters?" Ace snorted.

Marco and 'Lu' just face palmed.

"You did not just said that Ace.. That's the most stupidest thing I have ever heard."

"Anyways I have to go now.. thank you for wasting my time.." Lu said sarcastically as he walked pass Ace and Marco.

"Wasting your time?! You wasted our time!" Ace retorted.

"Calm down yoi." Marco tried to calm down the fiery commander.

"Plus we saved you from being a slave!"

"People would've noticed that I was gone.. and would search the oceans from me." Lu replied monotonesly as he looked at Ace in the eye.

"So what if you're a special person of some sort?!!" Ace replied his face becoming red from anger.

"Stop being such a whinny baby and get over it. I have some bussiness to attend to.." Lu said with a glare.

Lu just laughed at Ace who is now also red from embarassement.
