A small black haired girl crouched behind debree and rubble as she stalked her pray, said pray consisted of two small boys, small but still older than her.

They had caught her eye four days ago; she had gone in to town, hearing rumors that her grandfather was in town. She had not approached the old man once confirming that he indeed was in town but had instead followed him, being careful as to not get caught.

She followed him for over an hour through the worn out dirt path running through the sense forest surroundings. He had walked the path like he was used to it and had not stopped until he reached a rundown little house, he had then proceeded to walk up to the house, knocked at the door, waited several minutes before knocking again, harder this time.

The door flung open not long after that, and a masculine orange haired woman stepped out screaming profanities, threats at whoever was knocking at her door.

The small girl had to stiffen her giggles at the woman's facial expression once she saw who it was, she had never seen someone as scared of her gramps as this woman; said woman's eyes seemed to be poking out of her eye sockets while her mouth was hanging open in shock.

She had made a quick 180 and was now bowing at the old man, inviting him into her small house. He had simply shook his head and turned around, facing where she was currently hiding herself.

"I've just come to see my grandchild" he chuckled, his face crinkling with his large smile. Damn, had he noticed her?

"Grandchild?" the orange curly haired female asked before a light suddenly seemed to be turned on in her eyes "Ah, you mean Ace? I don't know where that brat is right now, he was out hunting last I saw him" Garp's smile had disappeared as quickly as it had appeared and a small pout was soon on his lips.

"And I came all this way" he complained, crossing his arms in a sudden childlike fit of anger.

"A-ahh" the female stuttered, waving her hands in the air like a demented chicken "H-he should be back soon, it's dinner time soon" Garp's face immediately lit up and he accepted the woman's invitation to join them for dinner.

The small girl sight in relief as she saw her grandfather enter the small building, her relief soon turned to confusion "Grandchild, grandson" she whispered aloud, did gramps have another grandchild, did she have a sibling? A cousin?

she climbed further up in the tree- afraid to get noticed by Garp – and made a little nest of leaves to make the branch she was resting on more comfortable. About forty minutes later a small form appeared and walked towards the house, dragging a big black mass behind it.

"Ah, Ace!" she heard Garp yell once the figure had entered the house.

"Ace" she said, tasting the name in her mouth "weird name, isn't that a card" yes, she decides, a weird name indeed.

She watched the house another two hours before Garp's large form appeared in the door again. He said his byes to the orange haired woman now known as Dandan and Ace and walked back the way he had come, not noticing the small girl watching him from the shadows.

She jumped down the tree once Garp had disappeared from sight and approached the shady building in front of her.

She could hear voices talking inside the house, and sneaked closer to the bleached house.

"Boss! We can't take care of another kid!" a high squealed voice yelled in a panicked voice "This isn't a nursery! We're bandits! Not a daycare for Garp to drop off his grandkids!"

A mutter of agreement was heard from several other voices before another voice spoke up.

"And it's a girl this time, girl's are supposedly harder to handle than boy's" a darker voice added to strengthen the first's statement.

"Hey!" the female bandit from before yelled as a thud was heard "Watch what you say!"

"Yes boss!" a set of voices yelled.

"Ace? You going out again?" a snort was the only reply from the small boy before he walked out of the house. Not seeing the curious stare of the small girl hidden in one of the nearby bushes , nether taking notice when said girl followed him.

A/N: ok, i don't know what to call Luffy yet, Luka? Luffia? or simply Luffy?
