good brother

When Angel and Sabo looked at each other affectionately, all the players were ready.

"The fruit of the wings is in the treasure chest on the back of a certain fighting fish! Whoever gets it is the champion!"

"Then now, the decisive battle—start!"

"it is good!"

Bartolomeo smiled and planned to rush out.

"Let me take care of those two people! Then give the wing fruit to senior!"

"and many more."

Sabo stopped him lightly, but his eyes were still fixed on "Ash".

"Go and protect that girl over there."

Said Sabo, holding the water pipe, approached "Ash" step by step.

"This Ashe must be handled by me personally."

"Senior?"

Bartolomeo looked at Sabo's back suspiciously, and finally ran obediently to Rebecca's side and released the barrier.

And the top cadre of Doflamingo's side——Diamanti, is preparing to find the betta fish with the winged fruit at this time.

It happened that the fighting fish jumped up from the pool below.

"lucky."

Diamanti smiled and used his fruit ability to form a sharp sword, but just when he was about to cut off the fish head.

"Ding!"

The sound of crisp metal collisions suddenly came to mind, Diamanti stepped back a few steps, watched the fighting fish dive into the water, and frowned at "Ash" in front of him wearing a large cloak, and his hands behind his back. Small dagger.

"Don't get in the way."

"Pardon me for refusing."

Angel chuckled.

"I will not give that fruit to outsiders."

"Oh?"

Diamanti sneered, just when both of them were about to attack again...

"Ding!"

Another clash of metal, this time a dagger and a water pipe.

Angel did not expect that Sabo would attack so aggressively, let alone that he would see Sabo's red eyes under the mask.

"……Who are you!"

Sabo was already trembling with anger at this time, and Angor slowly backed away from the force on the water pipe.

"You can't be him! Because he's dead!"

He roared angrily, his red eyes fixed on the familiar eyebrows under the hood of the other party.

"He took his last breath before my eyes! His life was stuck before my eyes! So you can't be him!"

"No one can impersonate him! I can't forgive anyone for the slightest blasphemy against him!"

"Who are you! What is your purpose!"

Angel was dumbfounded listening to Sabo's roar, and smiled helplessly after a while.

"Ha, it does seem like something you would say."

The familiar expression and familiar voice made Sabo almost instinctively stunned for a moment, and Angel also took advantage of his momentary slack to flick the water pipe and dodged aside.

Impossible, impossible...

Sabo took a deep breath to calm himself down.

It can't be Angel's...

Angor is dead!What are you waiting for, Saab!

"Ah, I thought it would be such a touching reunion, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this."

Angor sighed with emotion.

"But that's right. You saw my death with your own eyes but didn't see me come back to life. It's only natural that you don't believe me."

"If it were Lu Fei, maybe he would believe it. After all, he didn't see me die."

As he spoke, Angel looked up at Sabo who was standing not far away, and smiled slightly.

"Then, how should I convince you to trust me?"

Step by step, Angel walked towards Sabo slowly.

"You burned the fish yourself when you first ran away from home?"

『“Yo~ Sabo, are you preparing lunch?”』

"I stole Dadan's wine when I was a child, and we became brothers?"

『Here, what you want.』』

"Or the bonvoyage when you were about to go to sea?"

""I wish you an early realization of your dreams, Sabo."』

Step by step, Angel had already stood in front of Sabo.

He slowly stretched out his hand, smiling and wiping away the tears flowing from under the mask.

"Trust me?"

"...There is no reason to doubt..."

Everything, everything is their secret, something that will never be known to outsiders.

Sabo tried desperately to hold back his crying, but he couldn't.

These were the tears he had endured for two years. Now, with Angel beside him, it was impossible for him to continue to be brave no matter what.

"The past two years have been hard work."

Angor looked at Sabo's tears and patted Sabo's shoulder apologetically and distressedly.

"... Angel..."

Even if they don't know why Angel came back to life, that's not important anymore.

Angel was still alive, still standing in front of him, still smiling at him, that was enough.

that's enough.

The corners of the mouth covered by the beard were slightly raised, and Sabo finally showed a relaxed and happy smile.

"Okay, okay, stop smirking."

Angor saw that Sabo had recovered, so he withdrew his hand and pointed to Diamanti who was about to grab the fruit on the other side.

"Let's have a good chat after the game is over."

"Ok!"
