One Piece: The Eldest Brother

Opening my eyes, a huge headache ȧssault my head, I felt a little bit dizzy as I saw Dadan's big face complaining to a kid with blond hair wearing a black hat. Dogra, Magra, Luffy and even Ace were present.

My clothes were change as I now wore a white long sleeves shirt with a black pants.

With my headache I didn't well heard what they said but I think that it was mostly the kid who was trying to convince her to let him stay here with a big smile on his face. It went like this...

"No way ! I already have three brats under my roof, there's no way that I will take a fourth one !" Dadan said

" But I've heard that you were always helping others in need even though you're an old hag." the blond kid said with his wide smile.

And I think that he succed because I saw Dadan going to say something but she in the end just sighed and let it go of whatever they were talking about but she still shouted.

"Ace, Luffy, Sabo, don't you dare take advantage of my hospitality. Tomorrow you will work to death !" to their smiling face it was clear that they wouldn't do a single work tomorrow.

As my headache was fading away I then tried to stand up as they all looked at me stand up.

When I tried to take a first step I completely fell down, I tried again and again but to no avail. I think I could see them giggling like idiots while I was struggling to stand up.

It was like my body wasn't replying to my thought quickly enough or like a boat without a sail, and so I would have to take a paddle and struggle with it. It would take a long time but I would still be able to make the boat move forward.

Anyway I had completely lost my sense of balance and I knew the reason, I tried to moved it but it didn't moved, I looked behind but I didn't see it and I tried touched it but didn't felt it. I really felt like crying all of a sudden.

I sighed when I confirmed it.

Even though it wasn't the first time that my tail was pulled, I really didn't like this feeling, it was as if I was missing an arm or a leg, I've lived my entire life with it and I didn't like to be separated from it as it was so much useful.

For example I could lied down on a big three reading a book while I used my tail to feed me an apple.

Or I can used it to swing from a branch to another.

I can even used it to throw a hidden weapon on my opponent.

I really didn't want to lose it. I think that apart from the unwanted transformation, it is still really useful.

Luckily it would always regrow up after a certain amount of time but unfortunately it was always when the full moon was near.

Grandpa and I had even tried to pulled it off before a night of full moon however the pain I had felt was even worse than dying a thousand time ' I think'. A memory that I would be happy to forget for the rest of my life.

Since that night I never even dare to think of pulling it off from me.

According to grandpa it was only when I was completely transformed that I didn't feel the pain, so it was only in a night of full moon that grandpa would pulled it off.

I had always felt sorry and guilty to burden this much grandpa. Just because of me he would always returned once in a month , so to somewhat repent myself I have always listen to the best of my capability grandpa.

Anyway as I was getting used to my "new" body, Luffy jumped on me, making the two of us falling.

"Oy Luff-..." I was about to said something when I saw him crying loudly like a baby.

He was on my ċhėst so every tears that were falling down were staining my T-shirt instead.

"I...I thought that...that something had happened to you...Waaahhh..." he cried even louder.

Seeing him cry like that I felt like crying too but I restrained myself as I had to act like the big brother I was.

I smile and said jokingly.

"Baka...! the guy who will kill me isn't born yet" and I rubbed his head gently.

*Few minutes later*

I was on the side as I had somewhat stabilized myself.

Suddenly Dadan came to me and said " Oy kid, your grandpa told me to tell you to prepare yourself as next month he will take you with him."

"What !?" I replied stunned by what I she said.

"But he told me that I would live here till I was seventeen and then I could set off."

"I don't know, he just told me that and then he at last fuċkėd off from here." She said happily and in a relief.

" Is that so ?" I said while pondering.

Luffy then shouted after hearing this.

" What ! Niichan is leaving next month ?!!"

" Then we have to hurry..." He said while pulling on my sleeves and dragging me to the door.

" ???" I had a questioning expression on my face as I looked at him.

"HiHi, niichan come we only have one month to played together, I've even made new friends, Hihihihi..." he said that with his big wide smile that was impossible to refuse.

I then looked at Ace and Sabo to see if they were agreeing with it but unexpectedly, I didn't saw a single hint of rejection on their face but more like they were expecting me to come with them.

When I saw that I sighed and just smile while saying " Why not ?" and then I followed them to wherever they were going to.

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

Meanwhile at the seaport a certain ship was setting off.

Garp who was on the prow looking at the sea while muttering.

" This kid is really..." He grinned quietly before he even finished his sentence.

He was rubbing his fist when he said that.

On the deck behind him some navy soldier were chatting about some rumors that had inexplicably reach them.

"Did you heard ?, the rumors said that the vice admiral Garp fought a ferocious beast near Gray Terminal."

"They even said that the beast has fought on equal foot with the vice admiral."

"What are you talking about, the vice admiral is not someone that a trifling beast in East Blue can fight against, idiot!"

"But that's what I heard, the rumors even said that at one point the beast was sent flying to Gray Terminal and as there were a lot of people, they saw it, it was half man half beast !"

"Another rumors said that when the people saw this half man half beast, they were so shocked that they fell to the ground like flies."

"However this rumors can't really be trusted because the inhabitant of beyond the wall said that it was every person in Gray Terminal that fell to the ground so..."

As they were continuing to chat, Garp who had heard all of it sighed and said " Haaah this sprog..."

However he then shouted " Oyy you all, instead of blabbering, go to the kitchen to ask them when do we eat, my stomach is rumbling."

They then continued their journey to the navy's headquarter.
