Chapter: prolog

oke oke first of all, the whole story is totally banana and I turned everything so that it suits me xD * LacH * and yesterday I uploaded the wrong one> _> "

-------------------------------

The Thousand Sunny bobbed happily over the waves of the Grand Line. It was a peaceful day, little fleecy clouds moved across the blue sky and a few seagulls were already announcing the next island, where they will appear to moor tomorrow. Not even the cranked captain of the straw hats broke this calm, because he was busy with his own thoughts and had withdrawn to his favorite place, the lion's head. He couldn't hear this story. Even if he was otherwise so enthusiastic about stories, he certainly didn't like them at all. His childhood was wonderful, but everything has its downsides. He almost screamed angrily, but his self-control went so far and so he hit the lion's head with his fist.

Images chased around in his head that he actually wanted to forget a long time ago. Memories and that person's voice linger in his head. He rubbed his temples and filled his lungs with the fresh, salty sea air. She did well and reassured him a little. Despite everything, he had to distract himself.
Quickly distract ...

From the galley the excited screams of Usopp and Chopper could be heard. Luffy turned briefly to the door. Should he go in? Finally, he left his entire team in the dark about his behavior. They would actually understand him by now ... He shook his head and turned back to the front and looked over the slightly churned waves to the horizon.

Ace would explain everything to them, after all, he was older and more experienced. Besides, he must have had better control of his emotions than he did.Luffy sighed and let his feet dangle down. He had been in a hideous anger then. How often did he yell at his grandpa about it? He didn't know anymore, or at least it had been very often. Whereas Ace rather locked himself up and crouched in his room.
Sometimes he saw him for a few days, even when he wasn't in his room. It was just weird ... and now, when you have halfway suppressed everything? A little information and everything came back. That was a cheek.
Everything had become complicated again and Luffy didn't like that at all.

"Now tell Ace !!!"
"JAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA tell me!"
Usopp and Chopper sat cross-legged around Ace and beamed at him with enthusiasm. The rest of the gang had made themselves comfortable at the dining table and didn't take their eyes off Ace. He crouched at the table and furrowed his forehead. He had to think about it again and put everything in order. So much time had passed since then. Almost unbelievable.

"NOW DON'T BE SO IMPATIENT DAMNED !!!!" and Usopp had already been kicked. He complained loudly about it while he crawled with Chopper further away from Nami, who was already threatening the next kick with her dark expression. Torn from his thoughts, Ace grinned briefly, but he immediately turned serious again. He wasn't exactly the type to tell other people stories from his childhood and since Luffy found out about this information about an island where alchemists lived, the whole crew was on fire. Even Zorro, who normally had his swords and training in mind, was now interested in it.

The whole Straw Hat gang, with the exception of Luffy ... and him. Although ... actually he was really happy about this information. Unlike Luffy, he wanted to see this person again. Well, maybe Luffy too. Ace didn't understand that he was still angry after all these years.Earlier there was quite a argument about whether or not to dock on this island. Luffy got the short straw this time and then disappeared onto the deck. One against all, that's what it looked like this time. Exactly Luffy, who was actually enthusiastic about something like that, said no to that! Everyone had been quite amazed at his mood swings. Because his showering meant that Franky had to repair the galley door. Actually, Ace wanted to run away quickly and disappear into his cabin, but unfortunately a grim-looking Zorro blocked the hatch. It was clear that everyone was asking Ace what was wrong with his brother.
At first Ace had refused to say a word about it, but well, with so many talking on one thing, he had no choice again. With quite a reluctance, he was herded to the table where he was now holding out.

Now everyone crouched around him and stared at him. God was uncomfortable with that, but it is better to tell all of this first, then maybe he could withdraw himself and organize his thoughts. Or so he hoped.

With a heavy sigh he began: "Well, I was 8 and Luffy 5, that was before Shanks showed up. At that time the old man was still with us and took care of us." The farthest corner of the galley was now Usopp again loudly noticeable "Old man ??"
"Your grandfather you idiot ..." Sanji grumbled and silenced Usopp with a scowl. A short whimper could still be heard and then it was quiet again in the room.
"... well, go on, so we were living with him at the time and a family moved near us. Izumi Sachiko and her husband Kojima with a child. You could say daughter, but they weren't blood relatives. Nunjah and so actually began, a nice time ...
