Luffy, how can you become the Pirate King if you don't work hard!

Before Alabasta, she lived for the history of the Void Century. After so many voyages and adventures, after Enies Lobby, her motivation to live came from her companions, and most importantly, her captain.

Some people are so dependent that they refuse to let go.

After hugging for a while, Robin loosened her grip slightly, but her arms remained wrapped around Luffy's waist.

She raised her head, her deep eyes scrutinizing Luffy, and then revealed a meaningful smile.

"But you seem to have a very strong fragrance on you."

She leaned closer, her nose almost touching Luffy's neck, "Is that Nami's scent?"

Luffy almost choked on his own saliva.

He coughed violently, and his face turned red instantly.

Robin laughed out loud, stopped teasing him, and turned to look at another bubble next to him.

There, the tall figure of the bear stood silently.

"Mr. Xiong?!"

Two gasps of surprise came from the side.

Sabo and Kella stared in disbelief at the giant bear before them and charged at it almost simultaneously.

Don't you recognize us?

“I’m Kelra, Mr. Bear, do you remember me?”

Kerla and Sabo looked anxious.

Big Bear was a very important partner among their revolutionaries.

In their memory, Big Bear always had a gentle smile on his face.

But the bear in front of him didn't react at all; its eyes remained empty, as if the person in front of him was just air.

Sabo's expression shifted from shock to seriousness as he looked at Luffy:

"Mr. Bear, what's going on?"

"Kuma has been transformed into a human weapon by the World Government. He has lost his self-awareness and can only obey orders," Luffy said.

The atmosphere suddenly became heavy.

Kera's eyes reddened, and she bit her lip to stop herself from crying.

Sabo clenched his fist, his nails digging deep into his palm.

After a while, Sabo's gaze returned to Lu Fei.

He carefully examined the man wearing the straw hat.

Is this Mr. Dragon's son?

Sabo stared at Luffy for a while, then suddenly smiled slightly, took off his hat, and bowed politely.

"Nice to meet you. My name is Sabo, and I am the chief of staff of the Revolutionary Army."

"Sabo?"

From the moment they met, Luffy felt that the man in front of him was quite familiar.

Now even the name is the same as he remembered.

Not only do they share the same name, but they also have the same face and the same speaking style.

"Do you...do you know me?" Luffy couldn't help but ask.

Sabo blinked, somewhat confused:

“This should be our first meeting, but,”

He frowned and pressed his temple. "I feel like I know you a lot."

For some reason, looking into Luffy's wide eyes, Sabo began to have some blurry memories.

In the woods, three small figures huddled around a tree stump, holding red wine bowls and grinning foolishly.

The images were fragmented and fleeting, like shuffled puzzle pieces that couldn't form a complete picture.

But that feeling of warmth was incredibly real.

What are those things I've forgotten?

The big bear next to me suddenly moved.

Without warning, he raised his hand and placed his enormous palm on Sabo's chest.

With a snap.

With a soft sound, a semi-transparent, bear-paw-shaped shockwave was ejected from Sabo's body, seemingly containing some points of light.

In an instant, countless memories flooded Sabo's mind.

"I... I remember now."

Sabo muttered to himself.

Amidst the boundless blue sea and sky, on the edge of an unnamed cliff in the Kingdom of Goya, three small figures stand on the lawn.

"My name is Luffy, and I'm going to be the Pirate King!"

"Hahaha, you landlubber, don't make me laugh. You punched yourself in the face instead."

The little boy next to him stood up, his face freckled, brandishing a steel pipe, and then stomped hard on the grass, shouting, "I'm the one who should become the Pirate King!"

"You idiot Ace, do you want to try my fist? My new Gum-Gum Pistol move is already pretty powerful!"

The boy wearing the straw hat turned around angrily, his cheeks puffed out like a hamster's.

"You agree, Sabo!"

"Haha, this is really interesting, I'll give it a try too."

A little boy with a buzz cut and a missing tooth ran up to the two of them, stood beside them, and shouted towards the boundless sea in front of them:

"My name is Sabo. I'm going to leave this country and travel the world, writing down everything I see and hear! I want to be the freest person!"

"The freest person? Sabo, don't you know the freest person is the Pirate King?"

"I see. Then I'll become the Pirate King too, hahaha."

"Hey, this is cheating! How can one person have two dreams?" the man in the straw hat shouted.

"Are you an idiot, Luffy? Of course, the more dreams you have, the better."

"You're the idiot, you bastard Ace!"

"Ha ha ha ha!!"

Sabo stood beside him, laughing heartily.

It was incredibly easy.

Because the two people in front of him were his brothers!

The scenes from my memory continue to unfold.

A toast of brotherhood, a promise made on a tree stump, a united fight against the Bluejam Pirates...

Finally, on the day I decided to leave.

The Celestial Dragons' ships...

The scene in my memory ended there.

When he came to his senses, Sabo realized that two lines of tears had already slid down his face without warning.

He stared blankly at Luffy.

This face has changed quite a bit, but you can still see the familiar look.

He suddenly stepped forward and hugged Luffy tightly, who was still in a daze.

"Sorry, Luffy,"

Sabo's voice was trembling.

"long time no see!"

Luffy was stunned for several seconds, then slowly raised his hand and hugged Sabo back.

Sabo is really still alive!

I never expected such a pleasant surprise.

.....

At the enormous banquet, the Revolutionary Army members watched Luffy continuously stuffing food into his pockets, their faces filled with disbelief.

Is this Mr. Long's son?

Clearly, they had also learned about the new maritime emperor from the newspapers.

However, what shocked them even more was the relationship between their Chief of the General Staff, Sabo, and this maritime emperor.

Sworn brothers?!

Robin was lovingly feeding Luffy, and seeing him never stop eating, she couldn't help but tease him:

"Seriously, Nami, didn't they give you any food there?"

"Well?!"

Luffy almost choked, so he quickly picked up the huge wine glass next to him and took a swig.

Yes, there are.

It's just a nutritious liquid food.

"By the way, Robin, I've made up my mind."

Luffy quickly changed the subject, "Two years from now, we'll go to the New World again in two years!"

Sabo, standing nearby, laughed and said, "Then we should have a chance to meet Ace in the New World."

Their revolutionaries were also preparing to march from all corners of the world onto the Great Sea Route.
