He asked curiously.

Ace was silent for a moment but then he asked:

"Have you heard from Bunny-chan lately?"

"Bunny ??", Luffy repeated and looked at his brother in surprise."I haven't seen her since I left Windmill Village, but how do you come up with it now?" He asked.

"Oh, I just had to think about her a while ago. It's been so long since I last saw her. I really miss the little one!" Said Ace, patting his black curly hair thoughtfully.

It had been over three years since he left his home village in East Blue to become a pirate and sail the Grand Line. He had been looking forward to this adventure all his life, but saying goodbye had not been easy for him either. Luffy didn't seem very sad that his older brother wanted to leave the family, since he was determined to emulate him as soon as possible, and besides, Ace had never seen his little brother really sad. His lightheartedness even struck him as a little abnormal at times ...

But his little sister, Bunny D. Kate, had been heartbroken when he told her about his plan.At sixteen, she was a year younger than Luffy and four years younger than himself. It stung his heart every time he thought of the tears in her big blue eyes when he last saw her Time had waved goodbye.

"Was she so sad when you left?" He asked Luffy and tried to shoo this image from his mind.

"Sorry ?? Pah, rather angry. She kicked my butt.", Luffy growled and pulled an insulted pout.

Ace couldn't help grinning at the introduction. The relationship between Luffy and Bunny had always looked like that. The two were just too alike and always quarreled over every little thing. Although they were two completely stubborn heads, he knew full well that they were really very fond of each other.

"I would have preferred she would have cried after me, but after all you are her favorite brother. She adored you!"Luffy grumbled.

"Oh stop it. Admit it: You miss her as much as I do!", Ace replied and gave Luffy a little headbutt.

"Ouch .... mmh .... yes ...", he mumbled and rubbed his head.

"What is she doing now ???"

Backstage: So, there I am again * wink * Naaaa, did you miss me ??

I promised you a One Piece story and this is the first part. I hope you enjoy it so far and even those of you who are not OP fans can do something with the story. I am of course always happy to answer any questions. ^^

This is actually just an introduction to the actual story, which then mainly revolves around Bunny D. Kate and her adventures. But so that you don't have to go without your beloved OP characters for so long, I've included this (a little longer) prologue.

So, you have to wait a little longer for the story to start correctly, because I'll be in the exam stress until the end of the month and will probably only get back to writing afterwards.But write me nice commies so I know how the story goes down.

See you

Your bunny ^^
