Recap:

"HEY!" 

"WHAT?!" Both you and Luffy scream at the new voice, wondering who was intruding on your rather important argument. And of course, there were now surrounding men armed with guns and swords, waiting to pounce on the three of you.

"Oh...." you and Luffy both say in unison.

"Stop right there Fire Fist Ace! Water Bearer Y/n!" A large man with two swords strapped to his back and gold rings steps forward, and you can only guess he's the leader. "You have nowhere to run now. Your heads are mine!"

"Eh? What about me??" Luffy asks pointing to himself. "Huh?" the man replies with a smug look. "Ah I remember you now. Straw Hat Luffy." he says everyone surrounding the three of you now tensing up even more. 

"H-He's worth 30 million berries!" 

"T-Talk about luck!" The man stutters, before the smug look returns. "A-Anyways! This is where it ends for you three! Now th-"

"Anyways, let's find your ship." Ace says as the three of you casually walk past the man, "Yeah, maybe Mist can tell me where the ship is," you add not really worried about the men who were said to "take your heads"

Immediately the man leading this band of men turned around and shouted with fury, "GET THEM!" And so the "battle" began. One man charged at Luffy, going to stab him with his sword, but Luffy easily dodged to the left only to find three more men behind him where he easily dodged.

A group of men surrounded Ace with their pistols pointed at him, but Ace was swift to drop to his feet, as he kicked out their feet from under them, and jumping on another while slamming his heel into another.

Two men charged at you, and despite their large buff size, they were rather clumsy as you easily dodged the two, pulling out one of your katana, and smacking the hilt in the back of their neck, as they hit the ground. 

"Hold that bastard down!!" In an instant more than half of the group of men gathered around Luffy, trying to pin the male down. For a brief second you were worried Luffy would be in a pinch, but of course it faded away once you saw Luffy's arm stretch and grab on to the line of clothing drying above, easily knocking all the men off of him.

"What the hell?!" One man exclaims. "He has Devil Fruit powers?!" Instantly the men below with pistols fired them at Luffy, only to watch in horror and fear when they see the bullets bounce back in their direction.

"Don't scare me like that you jerks!" Luffy shouts, having been caught off guard by everyone firing their guns in unison. You let out a small yelp as the bullets also came at you and Ace, but the two of you were able to dodge with ease. Luffy hops down, staring at the men that were knocked out thanks to the three of you.

Finally, the leader of this operation pulled out his large, thick sword from his back, swinging it continuously at Luffy, who was able to jump and dodge the blade. Finally Ace intervened, grabbing the sword by the blade, unfazed by the man's strength.

Luffy took this as a signal to prepare his attack, as he stretched his arms back. "Gum Gum..." Meanwhile Ace heated up the blade of the sword, making the man cry out in pain as he removed his hands from his weapon. 

"BAZOOKA!" Luffy's hands hit him directly in the chest, sending him flying and causing the other men to panic. With that settled, you put away your katana, and join the two brothers in walking away from the now speechless bounty hunters. 

"D-Don't let them scare you!!" one man yells finally, "The ranking of Number Agent is riding on this!!" You raise an eyebrow hearing this. 

"Ooh I see the ocean!" Luffy says, running forward. "Do you see your ship?" Ace asks before the three of you turn to see the large crowd of bounty agents was still present. You sigh softly again, figuring you should at least try to get some information out of them.

"I heard you say Number Agent? Doesn't that mean you're a part of Baro-"

"Heeey!! Guys!! We're over here!" Luffy suddenly shouts, cutting you off. He waves in the distance at the Going Merry. 

"Luffy, Y/n, go on ahead-" Before Ace could even finish Luffy had grabbed your wrist and hopped down to the lower ground, making you yelp in surprise. Meanwhile, in the distance, Nami was using the goggles to scout for Luffy when she finally saw the male waving.

"Oh! There they are!" she says before shouting to the rest of the crew on the deck, "You guys! I found Luffy and Y/n!"

"Really?" Mist asks. "Yeah." Nami replies, "That stupid face is definitely his, and he's holding onto Y/n's hand." Nami's eyes widen in panic when she sees Luffy's hand start to stretch in direction of the ship. The last thing she sees is you flailing your arms around, clearly shouting at the male before it's too late as the two of you come rushing at the ship.

"We're back!!" Luffy laughs as you both crash onto the deck, falling onto Sanji and Chopper in the process. 

"S-Sanji-san! Tony-kun!" Vivi stutters in worry seeing the two of them now on the deck along with you and Luffy. You're the first up as you shake Luffy around furiously. "What is with you today?! Not letting me walk or run on my own! Holding my hand! And now sending me flying onto the Going Merry! Cut it out man!!" 

Meanwhile both Zoro and Mist were just face palming at the sight. "Not again..." Zoro grumbled.

"This is definitely starting to become the norm around the ship." Mist sighs, prying you off of Luffy who was still a bit dizzy from the intense shaking. "Take it easy on the man... his brain's probably made of rubber."

You sigh softly, closing your eyes and taking a deep breath. Calm...Calm... 

"Ah sorry about that Sanji, Y/n, Chopper!" Luffy laughs once he can finally see straight again only for Sanji to grab him and proceed to shake him again. "You idiot! I swear I'm going to gut you one of these days!!"

"Do you have any idea how much trouble you two caused?!" Nami scolds. "Well, I guess it wasn't Y/n's fault but still!! At least try to act like a captain!" 

Luffy frowns slightly at this. "Sorry. Oh! That's right, Ace!" he says getting up and rushing to the edge of the deck, checking to see if he was coming back yet.

"Your brother was with you?" Vivi asks, the rest of the crew including you, gathering around where Luffy was and looking out in the distance for the said sibling. "Is it really okay to leave him there like that?"

"Yeah, he'll be okay!" Luffy replies, turning around and keeping one hand on his hat. "He's strong!"

"He's strong?" Chopper repeats, a bit curious on how Luffy defined 'strong' being that he was too. "Yeah! He didn't eat the Mera Mera fruit back then, but I still never beat him in a single fight! He's really strong!" He says proudly. 

"Really?! There was a flesh and blood person you couldn't beat?!" Nami exclaims in surprise. You hum softly, also intrigued by this. "Wow... He does sound pretty strong." you add, making Luffy pout slightly for some reason. 

"I may have lost all the time back then, but now I'd win if we tried!" Luffy says confidently. In that time, Ace had jumped onto the railing, smirking as he heard this.

"Who can win what now, Luffy?" he asks startling the younger brother as Luffy backed away, seeing Ace as he crouched on the railing of the ship, that same confident smirk from before.

"Oh Ace! This is the rest of my crew!" He says happily despite the fact he had stumbled onto the floor. 

"Ah I see~" Ace then bows to the rest of the crew. "Thank you for taking care of my little brother!" 

"Eh? Oh no problem?" Everyone replies in unison, bowing back. Of course those words carried a bit of a fib to them. Ace just laughs seeing this, a bright closed eye smile on his expression. "He may be a bit too much to handle, but take good care of him."

"You two probably have a bunch of catching up to do." Sanji says, pulling out a cigarette, per usual. "Why don't you come in? I'll make some tea."

"Nah, no worries." Ace replies, before thrusting out his pointer finger in the direction of Sanji's cigarette, surprising the blonde once he realizes it's been lit." Meanwhile, the rest of the crew was trying to process the fact this man was Luffy's brother.

"Wow.... This is so weird..." Mist says, staring at Ace in awe.

"This is really Luffy's brother?" Usopp asks, looking around the crew to make sure this was really true. "I would've expected him to be just as reckless as Luffy..." Nami continues.

"He's a nice guy who cares for his brother!" Zoro exclaims.

"Brothers are such a wonderful thing!" Chopper cries with teary eyes. 

"The sea sure is full of surprises huh?" Sanji mutters. Vivi chuckles nervously hearing all of their reactions. "N-Now, come on everyone!" 

"Well Luffy is already far from normal," you shrug, having been the first to adjust to this little surprise. "See? Aren't they all great?" Luffy grins. Suddenly, there are several ships, all with the words "Baroque Works" painted onto them.

"Those are the Billions ships!" Vivi gasps. Aboard the ships were the men from before, along with several more, each armed and ready to fight. "We won't let you get away Fire Fist Ac, Straw Hat Luffy and Water Bearer Y/n!"

"Jeez that wasn't a mouthful..." you sweat drop before shouting back, "Yes yes that's very great that you want to fight and all but we're kind of in the middle of something right now! You mind coming back another day?"

"Huh?! Don't mess around with us pirate!" The man spat back, clearly irked about being taken lightly. You sigh softly, shaking your head. "I was trying to be nice...."

Mist sweat drops at this, patting you lightly on the back. "Y/n, what're you gonna do? They're pirates and bounty hunters. Since when do they ever listen?" 

"You guys realize we're pirates too right?" Nami quirks an eyebrow, her arms crossed over her chest. "Of course we know that." You reply, "Just... Those type of pirates and bounty hunters, ya know?"

"We'll show you what the Baroque Works Billions can really do!!" At this Ace himself can't help but sigh. "Luffy, I'll deal with them." He hops off the railing, where there is a small yellow boat below. 

"Let's see what the second division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates can really do," Zoro replies, crossing his arms over his chest as the rest of the crew gathered at the starboard, watching as Ace used his flames as the fuel for moving him forward in his boat at the Billions ships. 

"Here comes Fire Fist Ace!"

"Just try to get past our five ships!" 

Ace smirks as he jumps off the boat, letting it sink in the water below, and in midair his whole body turns into flames. "S-Shoot him down!!" one man stutters, before the boat appears on the other side of the five ships, above water as Ace managed to fly over all five ships and land safely back on the boat, his right fist becoming covered in flames.

The crew looked in both awe and shock, before Ace fired his flames. "Fire fist!" The large ball of flames easily passed through the ships, burning them in half and sinking down in the water below. Everyone at the Going Merry was staring in shock at the strength of Ace, including you.

Luffy's eyes lit up like a child's, amazed seeing his brother's strength. All that resided on the surface of the ocean were loose and now burnt pieces of wood, along with scattered splinters of masts. Some steam was present on the ocean surface, but nothing else remained. 

"Yahoo! Ace is one of us now!" Usopp cheers, holding his cup in the air. "Cheers!" he shouts in unison with Chopper and Luffy, the three of them hitting their cups with one another's.

"Oi oi who said I was joining you?" Ace replies, sitting on a barrel while the three of them were on the deck. You were sitting beside Luffy (Even though it took him a good five minutes to get you to)

The three took a drink from their mugs, only for Usopp to frown when he heard the male wasn't joining the crew. "Then... To delicious drinks!" he declares.

"Cheers!" Chopper and Luffy say in unison making Nami laugh, "Don't worry about those guys. They're always looking for an excuse to drink."

You can't help but sigh at this, watching as they continued to drink for ridiculous reasons. "Hey, Y/n, can I talk to you for a second?" you look behind you and see Mist, with a rather worried expression on his face. You nod slowly, standing up as the two of you walk  back into the boy's dorm to receive some privacy.

"What's wrong Mist?" you ask crossing your arms over your chest. "Is it the being human thing? Sorry, I know it sucks now but-"

"No no it's not that!" The pinkette interrupts, his face starting to turn red much to your surprise as he flails his arms around in a panicky motion. "It's.. Um... well, I like being human for once..." he admits sheepishly, rubbing the back of his head.

"Usually I would avoid doing it, you know that... But for some reason..." Mist looks up and out the window where Nami and Vivi were standing, talking and laughing in their dancer outfits. "For some reason," he continues. "I don't mind this time around."

You raise an eyebrow as you follow his gaze, seeing that he was looking at a certain princess. Instantly a small smirk fell on your expression, "Ah I see... So, tell me, what have you come to ask me~? Hm~?"

"Um... Do you wanna go on a date with me?" he finally says breaking the silence.
