Hey guys! So this is my first major One Piece fanfic, I'm still getting the hang of writing as some of the characters, but I hope you enjoy!

This is an ASL brothers story, where they plan to possibly join crews together.

Summary: The time for the brothers to reunite is near as Luffy draws closer to the entrance of the New World.

~Sabaody Archipelago~

Zoro glanced around every now and again, wondering briefly where he was exactly. As he looked about himself he didn't notice the person approaching. As he turned to look forward once again he noticed the girl, a moment before they collided. The collision sent the girl to the ground, but the green-haired swordsman was quick enough to catch her, his feet planting to keep himself steady.

His eyes looked the girl over, feeling some muscles where his arm held her. Her long blonde hair, tied back in a ponytail, fell over her shoulder from the impact. Her blue t-shirt and plaid shorts made the girl seem smaller then she was. The one thing that caught Zoro's eye was the sword tied loosely at her side by a simple belt.

Zoro put her back on her feet and removed his arm from her waist. Once she was release she turned kind, red eyes to him. She smiled, a faint blush on her face due to the incident, as she gave him a quick glance over, her eyes pausing at his swords.

She met his gaze before speaking, "Thank you for catching me."

Zoro just nodded, not sure what to say to the girl. He watched as she bent over quickly to pick up a couple of bags that had fallen when they bumped. Zoro watched as she checked through the bags and sighed in relief before turning her attention to Zoro again.

Zoro sighed, "Anything broken?"

"Nope! Sorry for not paying attention, my mind wanders," She apologized with a little laugh.

"It was my fault also..." Zoro admitted after a moment.

The girls eyes traveled to his swords again, "Three swords..."

Zoro glanced at his swords at her muttering, "I use the three-sword style."

"Are you Roronoa Zoro?" The girl asked, her eyes showing interest and admiration when he met her gaze.

"Yes."

The girl looked deep in thought, seeming to file the information away. Zoro watched her, wondering if he had to worry about her. She blinked before blushing, realizing she may be acting weird.

"Sorry!" She apologized, "I never met such a great swordsman, I've met several, but no one as infamous."

"I see..." Zoro replied, finding it weird someone was so excited to met him, instead of scared, it was strange.

The blonde blinked again, "My captain follows repots of other crews, so I've seen your name often."

"I see...and you are?" Zoro asked, realizing he didn't have the girl's name.

The girl smiled as she laughed nervously realizing her rudeness, "I'm Silk of the Seraphim Pirates."

"Seraphim Pirates?"

"We're just a small crew, not really well known, we haven't done anything notable like you straw-hats."

"I see..."

Silk glanced Zoro over again, "Are you going to be in Sabaody long?"

"Only for however long it takes to get our ship ready to head out again," Zoro answered, not giving her a definite answer.

The girl seemed to deflate and looked calculating, "Think we could meet again later?"

Zoro watched her, calculating what the girl wanted, he felt like she was more interested then she seemed in his crew. Zoro turned from her, and began to walk off, he heard her feet shuffle behind him, figuring she had turned to face him after he began to leave.

"Hey...wait!" She called out to him in what seemed to be surprise.

Zoro paused, "See you around."

Zoro continued walking away from the girl, not turning back to her. Zoro just stared ahead, processing the new information, and figuring he should head back to the ship. Especially if there may be enemies in the area. He looked at a tree taking in the number written and sighed. He had a long way to go to get to Grove 1 it seemed, how had he traveled so far in such a short time.

~Sabaody Amusement Park~

Shouts of excitement surrounded a young man, leaning against the railing in front of a ride. His eyes hidden by a black top hat seeming to gaze at the newspaper in his hand as he turned the page. Blonde hair peaked out from underneath the hat, and blew in the small gusts of wind that traveled through the area. His long black trench coat billowed about his legs as the ends were picked up in the wind.

The man ignored everything around him, the odd stares he received due to his attire, the curious looks of children passing by, and even the love struck looks of those lucky enough to glimpse his face. The man smiled as he looked over a simple article stating the top level rookies of that generation, though it dimmed as he read the biggest headline in the paper that day.

He stared at the raven haired man in the picture, beaten and exhausted from his capture. The blonde's brows furrowed and he glared at the picture. Those who knew him would see the worry and despair in his eyes, but those that don't would see only anger.

"Sabo!" A young female voice called out, snapping the blonde from his trance.

Sabo turned to the line where he had last seen his younger crew members and finding them gone turned to look behind him. He smiled up at the kids from where they sat on the ride, he gave a small wave to the one that had called out to him as the eldest of the kids checked to see if everyone was buckled in.

As the ride started up, Sabo turned his attention back to the newspaper, frowning at the words detailing his brother's capture. Sabo rubbed the tiredness from his eyes and sighed as he felt his headache grow. He reluctantly folded up the newspaper and stored it in his bag before leaning back against the railing.

His eyes roamed over the visitors to the park, wondering how they could be so merry with the Celestial Dragons so near. Sabo shook his head, reminding himself that he had been lucky enough to get out of their work for the day. He almost laughed at remembering Ann's face as she lost their game of rock-paper-scissors.

Sabo looked up, trying to calm down his rapid emotions, and looked through the crowds in boredom. It was rare when he was by himself off of his ship, even though the younger members of the Seraphim Pirates were nearby. He was tempted to go look at things to kill some time, but didn't want to send the kids into a panic should he miscalculate the time it took for the ride to end.

As his eyes moved over the crowd they zeroed in on a familiar yellow straw hat with a red lining. Sabo jerked forward and moved a bit away from the ride, his eyes growing wide in disbelief. It didn't take long before the shocked look was replaced with a shit-eating grin and he couldn't fight the urge to call out to the owner of the hat.

"Luffy?" He called across the area, happy it wasn't too loud.

He ignored the confused looks he received from the nearby visitors as his eyes were trained only on his little brother. The young raven's head turned to look for the person who called his name. Before their eyes met or Sabo could call out to his brother again someone else pulled the raven's attention to something else. It didn't take long for the rubber-boy to disappear amidst the bustling crowd.

Sabo deflated a bit at his brother running off, but knew it would be long till he met up with Luffy. After all the kid couldn't stay out of trouble if his life depended on it, and knowing Sabaody it wouldn't take long for him to find that trouble.

~Auction House~

Short, light brown, hair was tucked behind an ear as the wind blew by. Dark green eyes observed the building in disdain and hatred. The owner of the green eyes sighed before making her way into the building. She nodded at the door greeters but did not speak as she moved swiftly past, not wanting to associate with the people.

Her eyes roamed over the slowly growing crowd of the auction house, glancing at all the nobles and various pirates in disgust. She took another deep breath before walking down the steps to find a seat.

She paused at a row, and looked down it, watching the nobles steer clear of those seated. Her eyes traveled to the young man, sitting relaxed in his seat next to a white bear. The girl weighed her options, already knowing how much trouble this guy was. Glancing back over the nobles though she sighed. She made her way down the row till she was a couple seats from the guy and sat down.

She kept her eyes trained to the front though she saw the man's eyes turn to her in interest, a smirk forming on his lips as he looked her over. Ann turned to face him and glared at him, hoping he would get the message to leave her alone. His smirk grew but he turned his attention back to the front and the girl did the same.

She crossed her arms and waited for the auction to start, listening as people arrived and chattered around her. She closed her eyes, focusing on listening to what was happening more than seeing what was going on. When the chatter died down all of a sudden her eyes snapped open. Movement to her right caught her attention and she turned, her eyes widening as she saw the imposing figures of the Celestial Dragons walk past her row.

The girl tried to melt into her seat as they continued past, and moved her gaze away from them in discomfort. She so hated Sabo for making her go on this mission, sure it was decided by luck but still, he was the captain he should have gone instead. She sighed in relief once the Celestial Dragons were far enough away and relaxed in her seat.

"What's a little girl like you doing here?" A sadistic voice came from behind the girl.

The girl turned her eyes to see a red-headed pirate standing over her, "Why is the supernova Eustass Kidd bothering with a little girl like me?"

Kidd smirked, "Just wondering why you're here...you're a member of a rather pathetic crew aren't you?"

"How would you know what I am apart of if my so called crew is so pathetic?"

Kidd chuckled, "I recognize your face from the wanted poster of some annoying revolutionary."

The girl froze as she heard that, "You think you can collect our bounties then?"

"I know I can," Kidd stated.

The girl watched him, knowing of his violent tendencies, "So you're willing to bring the marines down on us to get a couple Beri?"

"Maybe," Kidd replied.

The girl stared him straight in the eye and didn't back away from his gaze. He smirked even wider as he seemed to move closer, trying to intimidate her. She didn't move, only remained where she was, eventually the captain pulled away and turned to return to his crew.

"You got guts kid," He told her as he walked away.

The girl glared at his back, "Then names Ann, not kid."

The girl turned away from the pirate but kept on alert, she wouldn't trust the pirate to not attack her. She caught a quiet snicker from the man next to her and turned to see the man smirk at her before turning his smug look back to the front. Ann sighed but turned to face the stage as the auction began.

Silk is the only one to share Nami's back story, being orphaned and hating pirates, Ann shares Nami's temper and looks a bit, but her back story is far from Nami's.
