The Great Voyage Begins with the Celestial Dragons

In his heart, Luther was a person he respected like a father, and besides Luther, it was also these aunts who had taught him.

He dared not say much; he couldn't fight back, and he couldn't win an argument. In the end, he would be the one who suffered.

Olvia didn't make things difficult for Ace and instead got down to business:

"It's nothing major, it's about your promotion to Skyblade."

"Did the teacher promise me I'd be promoted to Skyblade?" Ace's eyes lit up.

Everyone knows that Tianren is Luther's strongest fighting force, and each of them has the strength to stand at the top of the sea.

Becoming a member of the Skyblade has always been his goal.

"Your strength is sufficient, but according to His Highness, your temperament still needs some tempering..."

Olvia was only halfway through her sentence when a smile suddenly appeared on her lips, even though she was far away in the Kingdom of Jaya.

At 17 years old, Ace, with his training and guidance since childhood, already possessed the strength of a near-Admiral without a Devil Fruit. At such a young age, with this level of strength, becoming an Admiral was only a matter of time.

And, just as she had predicted, Ace's breathing quickened upon hearing this:

"Auntie, don't you know my personality? I've been scolded by my teacher and you countless times."

“Of course I know, but I don’t know if you can handle that,” Olvia said with a smile.

"That matter?"

Ace was slightly taken aback, and for a moment he couldn't figure out what it was about.

Olvia didn't give him time to think and spoke directly:

"Sabo has set sail, and His Highness intends to entrust that matter entirely to you."

"Give me complete authority...?"

Upon hearing the news that Sabo had set sail, Ace immediately realized what was happening.

Immediately afterwards, his expression became somewhat complicated.

These were some agreements he made with Luther as he grew up.

Roger, his foolish father, was indirectly responsible for his mother's death.

Although Roger died before he was born, he had no intention of letting Roger's accomplices, the World Government officials who ordered the search for his mother, or Garp who knew about it but did not help.

Luther taught him strength, strategy, and how to stand atop the sea...

The only thing they didn't teach him was how to give up his hatred.

On the contrary, as time went by, this feeling grew stronger, making him want to do something for his deceased mother.

Ace took a deep breath, and a slow smile crept onto his lips:

"I understand. Please help me convey to the teacher that I thank him for his tolerance of my willful student."

"I will pass it on."

After Olvia casually sent those words, she immediately hung up the Den Den Mushi communication.

After hanging up the call, Ace clenched his fists slightly, his face showing a mixture of excitement and anticipation.

"Ace, should we change course?"

Kuina took the Den Den Mushi from Ace and asked calmly.

After they grew up, they were basically active on the sea in pairs.

Ace, as the captain, has been partnered with her for three years. He is responsible for selecting the target, and she is responsible for striking and defeating it; this is the routine most of the time.

Under Luther's arrangement, this group joined the Navy. Luther provided the ship, Ace and Kuina provided the strength, and Olvia provided the intelligence. They easily gained a lot of merits.

With such achievements and strength as a foundation, Sengoku tacitly granted the two the military ranks of lieutenant general and major general.

Under Luther's management, only the doves in the Navy were not very happy with him; the rest of them would give him some face.

"Ah, I have to go back to the East China Sea. You remember you're from the East China Sea too, right?"

Ace chuckled and scratched his head, a hint of apology on his face.

He still deeply admired Kuina, his companion who was devoted to the sword.

He felt somewhat apologetic for having to trouble the other party with his personal matters.

"I was just thinking of going home to visit my family."

Kuina simply nodded slightly and turned to walk into the ship's interior.

Seeing Kuina's retreating figure, Ace suddenly grinned, a fleeting look of gratitude in his eyes.

Whether it was Yamato back then or Kuina now, they are both his best partners!

"Let's set off for the East China Sea!"

With a shout from Ace, the Portgas changed direction and slowly headed towards the calm zone in the East China Sea.

......

Donghai, Windmill Village.

Luffy, drooling, gazed at the azure sea with a dreamy smile.

At 14, he wore the straw hat given to him by Shanks, his eyes filled with boundless anticipation for the future.

At this moment, his mind was filled with the scene of parting with Sabo not long ago.

After Shanks left, Garp introduced him to Sabo, a man who was supposedly taken in as an apprentice by his father.

Under his tireless persuasion, the other party's heart was filled with longing for pirates.

Furthermore, the two of them had become sworn brothers a few years ago, vowing to go to sea together and be the freest men.

Now that Saab has set sail ahead of him, he is even more excited about his own future.

What kind of voyage will Sabo experience? What kind of journey of freedom will he embark on? It's truly something to look forward to...

Chapter 300 The Development of the Revolutionary Army

East Sea, Kingdom of Rhomo.

Sunlight streamed through the blue sky onto the sea, creating a shimmering effect. Various ships in the harbor swayed gently in the sea breeze, forming a harmonious scene.

The small sailboat, slowly moored in the harbor, exuded a tranquil atmosphere. The wooden surface of the boat gleamed slightly, bearing witness to its voyage through the turbulent seas. The ropes were neatly coiled, and the sails were folded up in perfect order, all testifying to the crew's experience and caution.

The blond-haired boy, Sabo, jumped off the ship, a look of weariness and relief on his face. His eyes revealed a resolute determination, clearly indicating he had weathered quite a storm. His blond hair shimmered in the sunlight, blending seamlessly with the sea and sky, radiating a sense of freedom and vitality.

Although he knew that sailing alone was a very dangerous thing, he never expected that he would almost lose his life at sea.

If he hadn't been quite strong, he would have been devoured by the king of the near seas as soon as he set sail.

As he entered the bustling port, Sabo's eyes darted around, taking in the lively scene.

People moved among various goods and ships, chatting and laughing. It was a vibrant and energetic place, where everyone was pursuing their own goals and dreams.

Finally, his gaze settled on a tall, hooded man.

Sabo walked over with a smile and gave the other person a warm hug:

"Teacher, I have passed your test."

The man before him was his teacher and Luffy's father, Monkey D. Dragon.

"Are you still determined to become a pirate?"

Dorag sighed, looking at the boy in front of him with a slight headache.

Sabo was born into a noble family in the Kingdom of Goa, but he was an outcast who hated the life of a nobleman. After escaping his family, he joined the bandits in the mountains of Windmill Town.

In addition, he possesses remarkable talent, which is why Dragon took him on as his apprentice.

In essence, Dragon would prefer Sabo to join the Revolutionary Army.

A noble birth, a commoner's experience, and a position in the revolutionary army.

Dragon believed that these insights would give Sabo a different perspective, and that Sabo would understand the Revolutionary Army's aims better than anyone else.

However, there was one thing he hadn't considered.

He originally hoped that Sabo could influence Luffy and prevent his naive son from being too innocent.

Unexpectedly, it was Sabo who was influenced and became determined to become a pirate.

"Teacher, I'm sorry, I know what you're hoping for, but Luffy and I made a promise to fight together for the goal of becoming the Pirate King."

Sabo scratched his head sheepishly, a sheepish smile on his face.

He knew he had let his teacher down, but becoming the Pirate King was a promise he made to Luffy, and he would definitely keep it.

"Sigh, whatever. It's fine if you have your own ideas."

Dorrag shook his head and didn't insist.

Forced relationships are never sweet; it's better to let Sabo become a pirate.

Because of the Tianhe Chamber of Commerce, he doesn't lack manpower right now, so he might as well let Sabo do what he wants to do. Who knows, it might be a brilliant move in the future.

"But that's perfect, now that you know how dangerous the sea is, I'll arrange some companions for you this time."

Upon hearing Dragon's words, Sabo's mouth opened slightly, as if he wanted to refuse.

But after thinking about it, he ultimately didn't say no, and just nodded silently.

Having already failed his teacher's guidance, he didn't want to refuse his teacher's kindness again.

"Teacher, how is the revolutionary army doing now?"

Sabo didn't want to talk much about his own problems and instead asked another question.

He only knew that Dragon was the leader of the Revolutionary Army, but he knew nothing about the inner workings of the Revolutionary Army.

He never asked, and Dorag never brought it up on his own initiative.

"The revolutionary army is doing very well now, you don't need to worry about them."

Dorag shook his head with amusement, seeing the curiosity in Sabo's eyes, and made no attempt to hide it.

What if, after some discussion, Sabo decides to stay?
