Then. He dropped you. You grumbled as the three laughed walking out of the cave. You followed after them. Trudging through the river before getting into the jungle. You followed the three into the jungle struggling to keep up.

"So Princess, what's your name?"

"My name is (Y/N). I'm not a princess far from it." You huffed.

"Uh huh. Sure, we're gonna call you princess."

"And what is your name huh? Freckles? Blondie and little boy?"

"I'm not little!"

"I'm Ace and these are my brothers Luffy and Sabo."

"I'm just gonna call you freckles, blondie and little boy."

They groaned. As they took you to Dadan's hut. You smiled as they lead you inside. Luffy bounced around showing you the rooms and a place where you would stay. Which was a bunch of blankets on the floor. But. It felt like a home.

"Oh no! I'm not taking care of another one of you-"

You turned to Dadan as she dropped the wood in her hands. She grew a large smile before approaching you and pushing aside the boys.

"Oh! It's a girl!" She grinned.

She embraced you while you struggled to breathe. Gasping she pulled back cupping your face.

"You're as cold as death. Let's get you into a hot bath."

The boys watched as Dadan treated you differently than them. Coddling you like some small kitten. Ace huffed.

"Whatever as long as she's out of our hair. We can trust Dadan to take care of her." Ace said.

"But Ace I wanted to play with her. She looks like a lot of fun." Luffy whined.

"Luffy have you gone mad? Girls have cooties, they will infect you and you'll. Fall in love."

Ace shuddered he looked to Sabo who was spacing off. Looking in the direction Dadan took you. He snapped his fingers earning the blonde's attention.

"Earth to Sabo. Forget about her. She's just some noble remember. She'll want to go home in a few days anyway." Ace said.

"Y-yeah. Yeah."

The three grabbed their poles and walked off into the jungle once more.

You escaped Dadan's loving rath in an old clothes Ace used to wear. Where you ran off into the jungle. Grabbing some sticks and a vine. You had a plan to impress the boys.

"Now. No one make a sound." Ace whispered.

They nodded, Ace started to creep out of the bush while his brothers followed. There before them was a spotted purple hog. If you kill it while It's asleep the meat is so much tastier. Which it was. As Ace raised his pole, and his brothers followed his lead. There was a twang before a handmade arrow struck the hog in it's head. Killing it instantly.

"What the-"

You jumped down from the tree earning the brothers attention. You pulled your makeshift bow onto your back with a few arrows. Luffy grinned wide.

"THAT WAS SO COOL!" Luffy cried.

You giggled as the younger brother praised you. Bombarding you with how you knew how to do that.

"Luffy!"

He turned to Ace with his arms crossed. The boy gasped before getting back to his brothers side. Following the same stance as his brother. But still gleaming with excitement and amazement.

"Your a noble. You shouldn't learn to lift a finger to anything." Ace said.

"We're not all the same. I mean Sabo's a noble and he can run around with you guys." You said.

"You didn't let me finish. Your a noble, but now. You've proved your skill. You. You gotta teach us how to use one."

You laughed, "Sure."

The following morning you woke from Dadan's string grip. Then made targets for the brothers. Then finished making two bows and some arrows before they found you.

"See! I told you I could find her." Luffy grinned.

"Luffy she marked a path for us." Sabo chuckled.

You giggled as the two elders teased the younger. Rolling your eyes you cut the vine with your teeth and finished the last arrow.

"Alright let's get started!"

You helped the boys with their posture and hand placement. Practicing the pull and release. Before supplying them with an arrow. Luffy, made it the ground before him. Ace missed the target. And Sabo struggled to hold the arrow. You giggled helping him hold it steady in his hands. Before releasing it and hit the side of the target.

"You'll get the hang of it."

This went on for about an hour before they gave up. Saying a hand weapon is better.

"So. (Y/N) why are you here?" Sabo asked.

All four of you lied on the grass looking at the sky.

"Some stupid noble wedding, and I'm supposed to attend. And after the ceremony I'm supposed to be engaged to some prick." You huffed, "If they find me now, I just hope you know it was fun while it lasted."

"Well, we'll protect you." Sabo said.

"Yeah!" Luffy cried.

"It would be fun to fight a noble again." Ace hummed.

"Oh (Y/N)! It's time for a bath!" Dadan called.

You grumbled scrambling up, "You guys didn't see me."

Then bolted off into the jungle, the three sat up while Sabo rested on his palm.

"You know. She's kinda cute." He sighed.

He turned to Ace and Luffy clinging onto each other for dear life. Fear filled their eyes looking at Sabo as it looked like he committed a crime.

"Who are you?" Ace gasped.

"Ace he's got cooties." Luffy cried.

Sabo chuckled, "You're dumb."
