"Hey, this is Peppa Navigator! Can Tangtang Sniper hear me?"
"Tangtang can hear you! Kerla, are you there?"
"Kirla heard it too..."
On the deck of Caruso, three naive little girls were trying out their own little telephone bugs.
Telephone bugs are a wonderful thing. When you dial the other party's phone bug, the image of two phone bugs will also call.
In this way, people know who they are talking to.
However, no one can understand the principle of these phone bugs exchanging images and information even though they are far apart.
It can be regarded as the racial talent of creatures like telephone bugs.
Just like devil fruits, many 'scientific principles' are inconsistent with common sense no matter how they are proven.
...
The Grand Line, the White Earth Island, Barudigo, the newly established headquarters of the Revolutionary Army.
"I...am alone."
"..."
The dead Fisher Tiger looked at the human aristocratic kid in front of him in silence who didn't know where the dragon picked it up from, and he had no good impression at all.
But now that the new Admiral of the Navy has ascended the throne, the morale of the navy is strong, and the entire army is out to attack criminals everywhere, accumulating experience and trying to be promoted in the upcoming military reorganization.
At this juncture, the revolutionary army cannot be too conspicuous and needs to settle down a little, especially for Tiger, whose reputation has not yet cooled down.
So Tiger, who originally wanted to show off his talents after joining the revolutionary army, was forced to stay in Barudigo and was assigned a new mission.
Teach this kid Murloc Karate.
Originally, the person who had to do this task was another male fish-man named Haku, but the latter thought that he was not as good as Tiger, and it would be better to leave such an important task as "educating new blood" to Tiger.
At first there was no communication between the two, they just kept fighting.
What surprised Tiger was that this kid who had lost his memory actually had good physical fitness and reflexes, and was also good at playing with a stick.
"Saab... A person will always go through a period of loneliness, but it is impossible to be alone forever. You must have had your own companions in the past, and even if you didn't in the past, you will have us in the future."
"I know...I know...but, if that's the case! I've forgotten my companions, and I'm worse than trash! If they find out...they will definitely be sad..."
Sabo frowned, looking a little painful, trying to remember something, but every time he tried, his head would hurt extremely.
When he woke up, he was on the Revolutionary Army ship, where a man named Monkey D. Dragon rescued him from the hands of the Celestial Dragons.
He doesn't even have any memory of the past left.
All that's left is the ring engraved with 's master freedom', the extremely heavy iron rings that bind his legs and feet, a steel water pipe of relatively good quality, and... a fighting ability that is even more powerful than that of ordinary pirates.
.
These things couldn't help him recall anything, but he could probably guess that his original dream was... to become the freest person on the sea.
Sabo once said this to Long. After hearing this, the latter pondered for a moment and remembered the Kingdom of Goa he had seen not long ago: "Maybe... this is really your dream."
Now Saab, except for this dream, is really alone.
"According to my judgment, you may have had a master back then."
Tiger stared at the several weight-bearing iron rings on Sabo's body. These were not things that a ten-year-old child would put on by himself.
And according to what Long said to this kid Sabo, it doesn't seem like there will be any elders who will teach him how to practice martial arts.
In this case, it can basically be determined that without the knowledge of his family, someone should have become his master and laid the foundation for him.
"Yeah..."
Sabo murmured twice. If he could, he would find this master in the future. He had many things to say and many questions he wanted to say.
"Do you want to take off those iron rings? I can help you. If you take them off, it will be more comfortable to fight. You will save the time to take them off later to adapt to the changed body."
"...No, I want to keep them."
"All right."
What's the point of keeping those things?
Tiger didn't say such words. Although he and this boy were already companions, they were not that familiar yet, so there was no need to say so much.
...
East China Sea, Windmill Village, Golbo Mountain.
"Don't eat that thing! You can't eat that thing!"
"Why can't you eat it? If Sabo is here, he will definitely let me eat it!"
In the forest, two boys were making a fuss, and the older child was struggling to grab a bright red chili pepper from the child's hand.
It's Ace and Luffy.
It's not poisonous, but Luffy was injured before. According to past habits, just apply a little monkey saliva on it.
But Sabo's departure made Ace become fussy in some places and insisted on taking Luffy to see a doctor. The doctor said it was not a serious injury, but he couldn't eat anything too spicy recently.
Bah.
After a lot of effort, Ace finally snatched the chili pepper from Luffy's hand and threw it into the forest.
Indeed, if Sabo were here, he might coddle Luffy and let him eat some secretly.
But Ace wouldn't do that.
"Saab is better..."
"What! Would it be better if I died if you are suitable for me?!"
Ace angrily yelled at the aggrieved Luffy, and Luffy started to act so weird and angry again.
Sabo has been away for three or four months, and the two little ones have gradually recovered from their sadness, but occasionally, situations like this happen.
Suddenly... in some cases, it will be thought that Saab is back.
This is just a little farce.
Ace wouldn't care about Luffy's unintentional actions, but Sabo's death did have a great impact on the two of them.
In addition to becoming the Pirate King that Issei dreamed of, the two little guys also inherited Sabo's will and had other goals.
"Luffy, we must become the freest people on this ocean."
"Um!"
And Sabo's 'death' had another impact on Ace.
The unruly Ace began to take on the responsibilities of two older brothers, began to learn gentleness and honesty for Luffy, and began to learn to thank and apologize to others for Luffy.
He is the stern brother, and he is the gentle brother. He alone gave Luffy two loves.
Like that man, he will always protect his brother.
Until the last moment of his life, Ace would still leave his last tenderness to him.
I have a younger brother who loves to get into trouble. My older brother always has to worry a lot.
