5 Chapter 5

[Three month time skip again]

(Clash) Right the now the Sage, Ace, Sabo, and Luffy are currently in the forest sparring against each other. Ace is sparring against Sage while Sabo and Luffy are sparring. So far they have set a rule, where you can only challenge 100 times against each other. So far the score has been in Sage's favor with him winning every single one. Then there's Ace who only loses to Sage and sometimes Sabo. After Ace there's Sabo then theres Luffy who hasn't won a single one yet.

Ace: \"Damn how come I can never land a hit on you even when you close your eyes. Can you see threw your eyelids or something.\" Luffy: \"Nii-chan you can see threw you eyelids sugoi/cool , but how do you sleep if you can do that\"( eyes that turned into stars) Sabo: \"Haha we all know what you mean Ace none of us can land a hit on Sage even when we try working together.\" Sage: \"I've already told you guys how I can do it, but you guys choose not to believe me.\" Ace: \"Uh-huh, so your telling me that you can dodge attacks with your eyes close because you meditate. I don't believe you.\"

Luffy: \"Come on nii-chan tell us, how do you do it plz\" (ask with puppy eyes) Sabo: \"Yeah come on Sage tell us the truth. After all were all brothers, so we can't have secrets among us.\" Sage: \"I've already told you guys, that's how I was able to do it. Well usually I wouldn't be able to dodge with my eyes closed, but after I fought Porchemy I felt my senses becoming stronger and I wanted to take full advantage of it, so I closed my eyes like I would when I meditate and from there I felt my senses becoming much stronger.\"

Sage:( Has his hand on his chin rubbing it like if he has a beard) \"Maybe it's when I closed my eyes I did feel like my other senses becoming stronger.\" (Light bulb goes off in his head) \"Maybe all you guys have to do is close you eyes.\" Ace: \"Huh why would we close our eyes, if we do that we won't be able to dodge the attacks sent at us. We're not like you Sage.\" Sabo: \"Hmmm I think I get what you mean Sage, so your saying that we shouldn't use our eyes to see the attack, but use our other senses like our hearing and smell right.\" Sage: \"Yeah yeah that's what I totally what I meant.\" ' Hehe I just thought that if they close their eyes and then try to dodge the attacks that they might get it like that, but the way Sabo said sounds like it's the right way to go' Ace: \"Yeah lets do lets try and see if it'll work.\"

Sage: \"Yeah let's try it, but let's do it tomorrow it's already time for us to go back.\" Luffy: \"ahhh I want meat.\" Ace: \"Yeah I guess so, let's go come on you guys let's go hunt a deer or something.\" Sabo: \"Alright then let's go.\"

[ Skip to when they arrive back at the bandits home]

Dandan: \"Oi you brats where have you be---.\" ( Sage, Ace, Sabo, and Luffy walk in carrying a huge deer that they throw on top of Dandan) Sage: \"That's tonight's dinner cook it for us.\" Luffy: \"I can't wait to eat deer meat\" ( drool coming out of his mouth)

[Skip to when Garp is about to arrive]

Sabo: \"When I go sailing the first thing am gonna do is find myself the best cook in the world, so he can make me delicious food for me to eat.\" Ace: \"Yeah well your gonna have to get the second best, cause i'm gonna be the one to get the world's best cook to join my pirate crew.\" Luffy: \"What no am gonna be the pirate king.\" Sage: \"Haha Luffy they weren't even talking about becoming the pirate king and what do you mean am gonna be the one to have have the world's best cook on my ship.\"

Sage notices that Dandan and the other pirates have stopped eating and are looking behind him for some reason. Sage: 'Why is Dandan's mouth and the others bandits mouths on the floor like if they saw a ghost or something.' Garp: \"Oi what did I tell you squirts about saying that your gonna be pirates.\"

Sage was laughing at Luffy and Ace at their poor misfortune for saying that their gonna be pirates in front of gramps Luffy: \"Oi his name is Sabo and he's not a squirt he our brother, we became brothers over a cup of sake.\" Ace, Sage, and Sabo both cursed Luffy for having such a big mouth. Garp: \"Oh so now the number of brats I can warm up with has gone from three to four.\" Sage: \"Crap come on you guys let's run for it. If we stay here were gonna end up dying.\" Luffy Ace and Sabo all agreed and ran out the door.

Ace: \"Baka why would you go back come you guys let's go save him.\" Sage: \"How can my little brother be so dumb, sometimes I wonder how we are even related. Ace you go to the left of gramps, Sabo you go to his right.\" Sabo:\" Alright what are you gonna do.\" Sage: \"I'm gonna go right at him, so you guys support by annoying him, but try and get Luffy and then run away as fast as possible.\" Sabo: \"Alright then let's do it. Ace: Yeah come on let's go.\"

Ace and Sabo run to the sides of Garp while Sage runs right at him. Garp: \"Oh so you squirts think you can fight back. Alright then Sage come at me let's see how much you have improved since I've last seen you.\" Sage: \"Alright then gramps your in for a treat.\" Garp: \"Enough talk come at me\"

Sage rushes at Garp and starts to throw a flurry of blows that Garp blocks easily. Garp: \"Its seems that you have gotten much stronger since I last saw you, but still it's not enough.\" Garp throws a fist at Sage, but to his surprise Sage actually manages to dodge it and catches him off guard because of it. Sage: \"Ace Sabo now hit him at the same time.\"

Ace and Sabo both rush Garp with pipes in hand. Ace comes at him from the right side while Sabo coms at him from the left. Sage throws a fist at Garps stomach because Garp's to tall for him to reach without having to jump up.

[I was surprised that when I searched up how tall Garp was that 287 cm/ 9'5. Like damn I know people in one piece are super tall, but I thought that Garp was one of the more small people. Nope it's just that's he small when compared to other tall people]

Sage manages to land a hit on Garp, but that manages to bring Garp out of his shock. Garp grabs both of Ace's and Sabo's wrist and throws them both into tree's. Luffy tried to get some shots in sneakily, but he ends up missing bad and hits Ace mid air. Garp then grabs Luffy's elongated arm and throws him into a tree as well.

Garp: \"Sage you really managed to surprise me, how did you learn haki. I know I haven't ever told you about it, so how did you learn it.\" Sage: \"Haki? What's that, is it some type of food or something\" ( he ask seriously) Garp: \"Bahahaha you don't even know what haki is, but you managed to still learn it all on your own. hahaha just what I would expect from my grandon.\" Sage: \"Oi gramps what's haki, hurry up and tell me is it some type of delicious food or something.\" Garp: \"Bahaha you've done well to become stronger, but still it isn't enough for you to think that you can dodge my attacks.\"

Garp then grabs Sage's shoulders and throws him into a tree right next to his brothers. Before Sage even knew what happened he got picked up and thrown into a tree. He didn't even have a chance to react. Sage then joined his brothers in being unconscious.

Garp: ' Too think that he managed to learn how to observation haki all by himself. He really is my grandson. He will grow up to be a wonderful marine.' Garp then picks up the four unconscious kids and puts them in their room so that they can sleep in peace.

Sabo: \"Oi Sage wake up.\" Sage: \"Hmm five more mins.\" Ace: \"Oi wake up.\" Sage: \"Uhh what do you guys want am trying to sleep here.\" Sabo: \"We need to get out of here Sage, if we stay here that old man is gonna kill us tomorrow.\" Ace: \"Yeah, so I say we run off.\" Luffy: \"Yeah, and we've already agreed that since were all brothers that we gotta go together.\" Sage: \"Alright then fine, but where are we gonna stay.\" Ace: \"We'll figure that our later, come on lets go before they wake up again.\"

[They leave the bandits home, but leave behind a letter of what their doing AKA running away. Anyway's end of the chapter]
