Taoist priest, who is so popular in One Piece

"Chopper, I remember that before Luffy and the others left, they were going to defeat Moria and help Brook get back his shadow."

Looking at the large group of people who suddenly appeared on the deck, Usopp, who had just walked out of the room, asked with some confusion.

In response to Usopp's question, Chopper shook his head and said nothing, because he had no idea what was going on.

Just then, a figure stood up, as if trying to break the deadlock.

"Hey!"

Lola looked at the other men except Luffy and Bai Ye and shouted loudly: "Please marry me!!!"

...

Of course, this sentence seemed to make the atmosphere on the scene even more tense.

And the answers everyone gave to Laura were naturally surprisingly consistent.

This also made the members of the Tumbling Pirates exclaim again: "The Captain has failed to propose again and again, this time it's..."

The seriously injured old man stretched out his fingers, pointed at a few people, and began to count:

“1（熊）、2（萨博）、3（山治）、4（索隆）、5（乌索普）、6（弗兰奇）、7...（布鲁克）。”

"I was rejected by six men!!! This is the first time!"

Brooke:? ? ?

After a brief farce, everyone was brought to the banquet hall on the fifth floor of the Merry.

This is also the first time that this place has welcomed so many guests, which makes Luffy very excited.

Just let Sanji prepare the food for the banquet while making pasta.

During this time, Nami and others also listened to several people explain the ins and outs of the matter.

"Doctor Hogback... is he that kind of person?"

After learning that Hobgobak created zombies for Moriah, Chopper had a feeling of being idolized.

"Sanji actually gave up the transparent fruit? Hahahaha, it's really a difficult decision."

Usopp showed an expression of great admiration towards Sanji.

As a partner, Usopp knows how deep Sanji's obsession is when it comes to lust.

"Aww! A duel between samurai spanning hundreds of years, it's awesome! Su~per~"

"Merry thinks it's great too!"

Franky and Merry listened to Brook's account of the battle between Zoro and Ryuma.

The former was even moved to tears.

Come to think of it, this guy has clearly completely transformed himself into a robot, yet he still has his tear gland system. He is truly an emotional man.

"I never thought that one of the Shichibukai who works with the Navy to maintain peace in the sea would be a cadre of the Revolutionary Army."

Robin said with some emotion: "And the chief of staff of the Revolutionary Army is still so young."

"It's just the trust of the leader and everyone else." Sabo said calmly, "It's Miss Robin who has always been the target of the Revolutionary Army. One of the reasons I came here this time is for Miss Robin."

"Haha, interesting." Robin remained noncommittal in response to Sabo's remarks.

"Hey, Bai Ye, what exactly is that so-called revolutionary army? Is it very powerful?"

On the other side, looking at Sabo who was talking to Robin, Nami asked Bai Ye.

"The Revolutionary Army?" Upon hearing this question, Bai Ye said, "They are a group of people whose goal is to overthrow the rule of the World Government. They are certainly powerful, but if you really compare them with the World Government or the Navy, they are a bit inferior."

"Is that so? But why do Luffy's brothers seem to be more reliable than Luffy?"

Nami looked at Sabo, who behaved well and looked more like a noble, and couldn't help but subconsciously complain about Luffy.

In response to Nami's complaint, Bai Ye nodded seriously, agreeing with his point of view.

It took Sanji a little longer to prepare the food for the party, but he finally got everything done.

Sabo looked at the pasta in front of him and became unusually nervous.

"Don't worry about the taste." At this moment, Sanji seemed to see what he was thinking and said, "As for the effect."

Sanji paused, as if he had thought of something bad, his face looked a little grim, but he continued: "Although it may be a little embarrassing, the effect will definitely be fine."

"Well, I'll start then."

After hearing what Sanji said, Sabo no longer hesitated and started eating the plate of pasta in front of him.

But after taking the first bite, Sabo suddenly realized something was wrong.

Everything around me seemed to be changing.

Sanji beside him and Robin opposite him were both moving quickly towards him, and everything disappeared almost in the blink of an eye.

Then, I seemed to be in a pure white space, and the light in front of me was so bright that I couldn't open my eyes.

"Hey Sabo! What are you doing?!"

A voice suddenly sounded in Sabo's ears. He opened his eyes subconsciously, but found that everything in front of him was so familiar and strange.

This is an open space in the woods. In front of it is a chopped wooden stake with three small bowls placed on it.

"Hey! Sabo! Can you hear me?"

At this moment, an angry face suddenly appeared in front of Sabo.

【A child?】

Looking at the little child who was pouting in front of him, with several Band-Aids on his face and a scar under his left eye.

Sabo subconsciously called out, "Luffy?"

After hearing this, Luffy retracted his stretched neck and said:

"Really? What happened to Sabo all of a sudden? Ace stole a bottle from Dadan on purpose."

Ace?

Sabo subconsciously looked to the other side and saw another child.

An orange vest, black hair, and freckles on her cheeks.

[Another child? Yeah, I think I am one too. 】

He was walking towards them with a bottle of wine in his hands.

boom!

Ace put him on the tree stump and said, "Don't talk about Sabo, Luffy. Normally, you are the most unreliable one."

"Ah! I didn't!!!"

"Hahaha, you still won't admit it?"

"That's too abominable, Ace!!!"

...

"Well, you know what?"

Ace ended his argument with Luffy, pulled out the cork from the bottle, and poured wine into the small bowl on the stump while saying:

"After drinking the sworn brotherhood wine, we are brothers."

"Brother! Really?" Luffy showed an expectant smile on his face.

【brother?】

Sabo still had doubts in his heart, but even he didn't notice that the corners of his mouth were rising.

"Well," Ace's voice continued:

"When we become pirates, we may not become partners."

"Then let's maintain the bond between us with brotherhood."

Ace picked up the wine bowl in front of him and looked at Luffy and Sabo beside him:

"From now on, no matter where you are, no matter what you do."

"This bond will never be severed!"

Luffy raised the wine bowl excitedly, and Sabo noticed that a wine bowl also appeared in his hand.

The three of them looked at each other and raised their glasses high.

Ace also said the last words:

"From today on we are——"

“Brothers!!!”

bang~

The three wine bowls collided in the air, the transparent wine flew into the sky, and the sunlight pierced Sabo's eyes through the wine drops.

He couldn't help but close his eyes, but for some reason, tears burst out like a flood.

"what!!!"

Sabo fell to his knees, covering his face and roaring in pain.

【It turns out that I have always had two brothers. 】

"Sabo?! Why are you crying!!!"

This is Luffy's voice.

"Bai Ye, what's going on? What happened to Sabo?!"

"It's okay Luffy, crying means it worked."

"Is that so? I thought it was Sanji's pasta that was so awful."

"Asshole, how dare you think that!!!"

"But, Bai Ye, Sabo..."

Suddenly, Luffy's voice stopped.

It turned out that just now, Sabo suddenly stood up and hugged him tightly.

"Sabo..." Luffy was a little confused.

"The bond between brothers can never be severed."

At this moment, Sabo's suppressed but excited sobbing sound rang in Luffy's ears:

"Long time no see, Luffy."

After saying this, Sabo finally couldn't help but burst into tears:

"I've made you worry about me all these years. It's really—"

"I'm so sorry, brother!!!"

"Saab..."

Hearing Sabo's crying and feeling the tears dripping on his body, Luffy instead smiled with relief.

He stretched out his arms and hugged his brother tightly, who finally recognized him.

Said happily:

"It's great that you didn't die, Sabo."

At this moment, a leisurely and beautiful music sounded.

In the concert hall on the other side of the banquet hall, Brooke was playing the violin gracefully.

Tears were also flowing in his two empty eye sockets.

Music has no language, yet it contains everything.

At this moment, everyone in the hall tacitly stopped talking.

I don't want to disturb the beautiful scene in front of me.

-

After a while~

"My brother has been taken care of by you all before, I am really grateful!"

Sabo said after bowing seriously to everyone in the Straw Hat Pirates.

"Hmm, why do I feel this scene is somewhat familiar?"

Chopper said, tilting his head.

"Have you forgotten, Chopper? Luffy's other brother Ace also said something similar in Alabasta."

Usopp reminded from the side.

Sanji: "Should we say we are brothers? We do the same thing."

Zoro: "It's because they all know how unreliable their brother is."

"What? Sabo, how can you say the same thing as Ace?" Luffy on the side picked his nose in dissatisfaction, "Bai Ye clearly said that I am very reliable."

Bai Ye: "I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!"

"By the way, Luffy, I have news to tell you about Ace."

Facing Luffy's dissatisfaction, Sabo showed a serious expression and said:

"According to the intelligence obtained by Mr. Bear, Ace was captured by Blackbeard Teach a few days ago and handed over to the Navy."

"And they also made an important decision at this time."

"According to the time, the official announcement should be today."

-

On an island in the Grand Line, there is a very luxurious palace.

In a room in the palace, a short old woman was sitting on the sofa.

Next to her, there was a blue-purple snake that didn't look very smart.

"It's strange. Newsbirds usually don't come to the doldrums."

The old woman picked up the newspaper that had just been delivered and said with some confusion.

But when she opened the newspaper and saw the headline on the front page, she stood up in an instant.

"Is that so? No wonder the World Government wants to recruit the Seven Warlords of the Sea."

"We need to let Snake Princess know about this as soon as possible."

"This time, war is definitely going to break out!"

The old woman rushed out of the room as she spoke.

-

"Fufufufufu~"

Inside the palace of Dressrosa, a figure was laughing wildly.

"Those bastards actually made such a decision? It's really——"

“It’s so delightful!!!”

Doflamingo opened his arms wantonly:

"This world should be destroyed as soon as possible, hahahahahaha!"

-

"Shanks, have you made your decision?"

On the Redforth, Ben Beckman looked at Shanks who had a gloomy face and asked.

"Ah."

After a long while, Shanks put the newspaper aside, nodded and said:

"Now is not the time for the world to fall into chaos. The sea still needs to maintain balance for a while."

"Hehehe, so, are we finally going to go to war with the Four Emperors this time?"

On the other side, Laki Lu laughed and said while eating the big ham in his hand.

Judging from his expression, it seems that going to war with the Four Emperors is something worth celebrating.

"That's right. Before that moment comes, the pattern of the new world must not be broken."

"In this situation, that madman will definitely choose to take action."

Shanks stood up and looked at the many companions in front of him who were fighting for life and death.

"Everyone, get ready to set sail. Next up, it's going to be a tough battle!!!"

"Oh!!!"

-

A rare low-pressure atmosphere appeared above the Moby Dick.

Last time it was Teach who killed Thatch.

And this time, it's about Ace.

"Dad, this is a provocation from the navy, but also... a trap."

Marco, the captain of the First Division, said this to Whitebeard.

"Marco, what are you talking about?"

Hearing this, Diamond Joz spoke directly with an angry expression on his face:

"Is this a trap? Should we not save Ace?"

"Jozi calm down, that's not what Marco meant."

On the other side, Flower Sword Vista stopped Joz's impulsive behavior.

Marco seemed not to have heard Joz's words. He looked directly at the old man with white beard and spoke slowly:

"This is a trap set by the Navy against the Whitebeard Pirates."

"so..."

"Let me go save Ace alone!"

"Even if it costs me my life, I will bring Ace back!"
