Was randomly wandering around the other day when I had an awesome plot bunnies strike me. Thus far I only have a single scene but maybe I will come up with the rest of the story someday. Or maybe someone will adopt it. That works too.
The premise is that something happens causing the ASL brothers to flee Dawn Island. I have read a couple variations on this theme. However, in this one they decide the best way to hide is a variant of their dine and dash disguise. A long coat with Ace the head and arms, Luffy the torso, and Sabo the legs. They practice learning to fight that way and get pretty good.
A few years down the line there is some sort of misunderstanding and Marco confronts them thinking they did whatever. At some point he kicks them hard with his talons in what he thinks is the stomach. Que a baffled moment where Marco thinks he didn't hit the guy hard enough to dismember him before Tiny Ace and Sabo crawl out of the coat and put themselves between Marco and Luffy.
Man, this is one of the times I wish I could draw. This scene would make an awesome comic.
