Day 3

He knew the absolute chaos very well when he stepped into the dining hall as calm as ever. Luffy was blatantly trying (and succeeding) in stealing everyone's food, whereas the crew's counter-attacks were somewhat futile.

"Welcome to Party Island." An unfamiliar woman with striking blue hair snapped Ace out of his memories of childhood.

"Hi… who are you?" He asked politely with a sheepish grin.

Filling up her glass rather matter-of-factly, she spoke with a slight drawl, "My sister dragged me along as well, I'm Nojiko."

"Ace." Extending his hand, Nojiko shook it with a curious expression. (who would have thought – a civilised infamous pirate?)

The lunch finished with an undignified shriek from Franky when Luffy knocked over Brook's steaming hot tea onto his speedo.

"ARGHHHHHHHHHH!"

"Sorry Franky-san!"

"It's Luffy's fault…" Usopp interjected helpfully.

Chopper tilted his head in all innocence, "Franky, did you wet your pants?"

"OH THE HUMILIATION!" The human cyborg dashed to the nearest bathroom, leaving a trail of tea behind him.

"Shishishishi!"

Nami rubbed her temples and reached for her bread, only to find that it had disappeared into Luffy's bottomless pit stomach.

"LUFFY! WHERE'S MY BREAD?!"

Patting his belly, Luffy let out a content sigh, "It was nice~"

"NAMI-SWAN I'LL MAKE SOME MORE FOR YOU!" Sanji bashed Luffy's head onto the table (not that it hurt), swooning over his precious navigator.

"Luffy, why's your brother sleeping?" Chopper looked at a slumped Ace worriedly, preparing for a medical emergency.

"He has narcolepsy." Nami explained patiently, watching Luffy prod his brother's eyelids with fascination.

-Skip to an hour later-

Tiptoeing around, Usopp hushed the crowd behind him, deliberately puffing himself up before knocking on the door. It creaked open slowly, a bleary Ace poked his head out. He immediately spotted that his little brother was not with them, and gazed at them expectantly.

"Yes?"

"Did Luffy steal your food during lunch?" Usopp said a little shakily – still intimidated by Luffy's brother. Even Zoro was there, Luffy must have stolen a great deal of his food to disrupt his daily nap.

Shrugging, Ace replied, "I've had loads of practice back then, usually Luffy's the one who ends up with no food." All of them looked at him with admiration as though he had managed an amazing feat.

"When you get raised by bandits… you tend to be more vicious with your food…"

"Wait… Bandits?" Chopper asked tentatively, his eyes wide.

Brook interrupted the conversation, letting out his signature laugh. "Do you like pranks, Ace-san?"

Raising an eyebrow, Ace answered with an air of confidence, "Like? They're my speciality." He caught sight of the prized meat in Usopp's hand, Ace's grin grew bigger. "What do you have in mind?"

"This better be good…" Zoro grumbled, nevertheless following the group.

"Franky, did you change your trunks?" Robin enquired quietly.

"…Uh yeah!" His face turned beet red the moment the raven-haired reminded him of the incident.

-Half an hour later, during tea-break-

"WHERE'S MY MEAT!"

"What's wrong Luffy?" Ace munched on his biscuit, feigning disinterest.

Wailing, Luffy ran around in circles in response. Sanji cleaned the dishes nonchalantly, telling him once again, "A giant snail ate it."

"You have to eat vegetables before your meat will appear." Nami smiled devilishly, making an amused Nojiko hide her laughter at her sister's manipulative ways. Ace shot her a glance, forgetting that Nojiko had no idea about the prank.

She stared at him knowingly, as Ace breathed a sigh of relief.

Halting in his steps, Luffy's mouth watered at the thought of meat, his eyes watery. Nami had considered pulling out at that look but held herself for the sake of her stolen bread.

It was time for payback time.

Swallowing his bread thoughtfully, Ace suggested, "There's a spell for you to say."

"Really?" The simpleton looked at his brother hopefully.

"Here." Sanji placed a plate full of greens in front of a doubtful Luffy.

"It looks like Zoro…" Luffy pouted, as Sanji guffawed, Zoro preparing to beat up the cook before being stopped by Ace.

"Patience – but it is similar to your hair." Ace noted, with Zoro gritting his teeth in all his self-control.

Usopp cleared his throat, before reciting from a piece of paper. "You have to say, 'I love vegetables!' every time you take one bite!" The whole crew looked so triumphant it was a wonder how Luffy suspected nothing.

Unsurprisingly, Luffy grabbed a piece of cabbage, a look of pure disgust present on his face. Ever so agonizingly slow, he popped it into his mouth.

"EWWW! It tastes horrible!" He stuck out his tongue at the taste, much too accustomed to the texture of meat.

"If you don't eat it, the giant snail will eat all your meat." Nami motivated him, crossing her arms, satisfied.

"I love vegetables." Luffy muttered in a dead voice, momentarily perked up by the word 'meat'.

Choking on the taste, Luffy strived on. "I love vegetables." The celery caused him to splutter, with Chopper handing him a glass of water kindly. Robin patted his back with a small smile. Brook offered him tea instead, while Franky plopped a large bottle of cola on the table. Ace, approving of the love they showered on his litter brother, leaned back to enjoy the prank.

"I LOVE VEGETABLES!" The meat-lover hollered, tears of joy flowing down his face as he took his last bite.

"Well done Luffy." Ace hugged his brother for attempting such a difficult task.

In the end, it turned out to be more of a marathon than a 'get-back-at-Luffy' prank, where the whole crew only thought of Luffy finishing more greens than he had in his whole life.

Funnily enough, the mere thought of the giant snail flew out of the captain's mind when Sanji rewarded him with a giant piece of steak.

"Aren't you going to beat the crap out of that snail?" asked Ace impishly.

"What snail?" Luffy said distractedly.

"For some reason, I actually feel happy for Luffy." Franky sniffed emotionally.

As for Ace, he was proud – Luffy's nakama looked out for him just as much.

A/N I hate celery as well. The taste is… *shivers* so I can totally understand Luffy.

What do you think I should make Ace go through in the next chapter? Tell me:) Sabo/Marco/Shanks/Garp visiting?
