Marine Headquarters!
Garp naturally recognized Sabo, and he was immediately surprised...
After all, when they were young, Luffy, Ace, and Sabo were the most mischievous and often caused their own share of headaches!
Originally, Garp thought this little guy was dead, but he didn't expect him to be alive! For a moment, Garp was genuinely happy.
"This guy, Dragon, saved Sabo and didn't say a word to me, it's true..."
Sengoku and others on the side were very curious.
"What is the relationship between your grandson and this second-in-command of the revolutionary army?"
"You know about this too?"
Garp looked at Sengoku mysteriously and smiled slightly.
"Just watch for a while; won't you figure it out?"
Sengoku suddenly had a bewildered expression, thinking that this guy was trying to be mysterious...
Revolutionary!
To say the most shocking part, it naturally happened at the headquarters of the revolutionary army!
When Sabo appeared in the image, many revolutionary army cadres led by Betty were utterly stunned.
"Eh! Sabo, you're actually in it?"
"Unexpectedly, Sabo was also interested in the Flame-Flame Fruit and actually appeared in the competition."
"In other words, Sabo, aren't you afraid of revealing your identity and alerting the Marine?"
Sabo himself wondered. It stands to reason that as a member of the revolutionary army, he was still a high-ranking cadre. He wouldn't be dispatched so casually; after all, if discovered by the Marine, it could jeopardize the secret of the Flame-Flame Fruit.
However, the next image made everyone even more astonished.
As Luffy cried bitterly, Sabo in the image remained very gentle. The commanders of the five major armies were all dumbfounded.
"Sabo, you know Luffy, the Straw Hat?"
"Could it be that in the future the leader brought his son and got acquainted with us?"
"No, even if Luffy is familiar with him, he wouldn't be so excited to see Sabo."
Betty and the others said suspiciously, but soon, they thought of a possibility! Everyone in the Revolutionary Army knew that Sabo had lost his memory and couldn't recall everything from his childhood.
But now, in the image... Everyone immediately exclaimed!
"Sabo, have you recovered your lost memory!?"
"Looking at the situation, Sabo and Straw Hat Luffy knew each other as kids!"
"Yes, it seems that the relationship is not simple, at least very close!"
"Sabo's memory finally has a clue..."
Including Sabo himself, he was stunned when he looked at the sky in the image.
No wonder I've always felt a connection with Luffy; it seems... it's truly related!
I have always cherished my lost memories and can't wait to reclaim them.
Now there is finally a clue!
Since Luffy is the son of the chief...
Sabo rushed straight towards Dragon's house.
He can't wait to learn everything about himself from Dragon's mouth!
[After Luffy and Sabo shared their memories, the two also agreed on a plan.]
[Now that Sabo is here, Luffy doesn't have to continue fighting for Ace's only relic and the Flame-Flame Fruit.]
[He can now help Franky and the others fight against Doflamingo!]
[And so...]
[Sabo assumed Luffy's identity, donned his attire, and made his way to the arena!]
[Adopting the name Lucy, he continued to strive for the Mera Mera no Mi...]
[Without delay, Luffy departed, leaving Sabo and Bartolomeo behind.]
[Bartolomeo, at this moment, couldn't contain his excitement!]
[He was an absolute Straw Hats fanatic!]
[Upon discovering Sabo's true identity, his admiration naturally extended to Sabo!]
[Everyone observed them, walking together towards the arena, with constant verbal praises.]
["Senior Sabo, I never expected you to be Senior Luffy's older brother!"]
["I'm truly honored to compete alongside his brother!"]
["I never imagined Senior Luffy had another brother aside from Senior Ace!"]
["In any case, Senior Sabo, I'll give my all in this match!"]
["I'll help you claim Ace senpai's only relic and present you the Mera Mera no Mi!"]
[Seeing Bartolomeo's almost fanatical adoration, Sabo could only smile wryly.]
[He hadn't anticipated his brother having such a devoted admirer.]
[Though the fervor was a bit overwhelming, he had to admit...]
[His die-hard fan brother seemed to be quite remarkable!]
"Thank you, Bartolomeo!"
[As soon as these words were uttered, Bartolomeo nearly fainted with excitement...]
[Senior Sabo, now that you've recalled your name, it's truly a blessing!]
[Soon, the two arrived at the edge of the arena...]
[Sabo gazed at the Devil Fruit atop and declared with determination:]
"Ace, I apologize for being late!"
"My memories returned only after your passing, and this time, I will obtain your sole relic!"
"From now on, I'll carry on your will, living in your stead!"
"I'll also protect Luffy diligently and fulfill my duties as an older brother..."
As this unfolded, Sabo's true identity was finally revealed!
Audiences worldwide now knew.
Sabo wasn't just the second-in-command of the Revolutionary Army but also Ace and Luffy's brother!
It turned out Straw Hat Luffy had more than one older brother... two, in fact!?
The revelation caused a worldwide sensation! What was the story with these three brothers?
Each possessed extraordinary talent!
Straw Hat Luffy, the most promising rising pirate at sea.
Along the way, he defeated countless powerful foes, becoming the most dazzling figure!
Ace, as an older brother, captained the second division of the Whitebeard Pirates! The world's strongest man, Whitebeard's third-in-command!
And the other brother, Sabo, whose origins should not be underestimated...
He was the cause of headaches for the World Government, the second-in-command of the Revolutionary Army!
Any one of these three brothers, randomly chosen, was enough to shock the world, whether in strength or background!
But the most terrifying part was...
These three were brothers!?
If these three united, it would undoubtedly send shockwaves throughout the world!
Such a revelation stunned the entire globe... Every viewer found it hard to believe!
Meanwhile...
As the scenes played out, Luffy, far away in Water 7, and Ace, in the Whitebeard Pirates.
Both looked to the sky, shielding their eyes once more... The two's reactions were nearly identical!
Luffy gazed at the sky, wiping away tears, "Sabo, you scoundrel, you were still alive, why didn't you show up sooner?"
"I've been mourning for so long, but... I'm glad you're alive, idiot!"
On the other side, Ace was smiling...
"Will you inherit my will, Sabo?"
"But it's fine, after your death, I'll take up your part of the living world!"
"And if... In the future, something happens to me, and I hope you become Luffy's only remaining brother."
"Truly guard him as you say..."
A hint of sadness flickered in Ace's eyes.
Despite his apparent nonchalance about the revival of the Mera Mera no Mi and the possibility of his future demise, he contemplated it deeply within.
It didn't take long for these thoughts to be pushed aside.
After all, who can predict what lies ahead?
Perhaps, after enduring the events depicted in this tableau, he would be able to evade fatal threats in the future.
I won't die...
I'll strive to survive!
After all, there's a sincere desire to lie down one day.
To reunite with Luffy and Sabo!
To share a drink again, just like in childhood... in the Marine headquarters!
"What!?"
"Sabo of the Revolutionary Army is actually Luffy's brother?"
As these words were uttered, everyone in the hall was stunned!
Sengoku, Akainu, Kizaru, Aokiji, and even the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
They all gazed at Garp with incredulous expressions...
The World Government leaders were even more furious. "You've known for a long time; why didn't you reveal it sooner?"
Garp chuckled and, scratching his head, replied, "I didn't know Sabo was alive. I only just found out. How could I have told you earlier?"
Upon hearing this, the Marine leaders were left dumbfounded.
This old man, realizing it only now... Garp's family background is indeed intricate.
Apart from this old guy serving in the Marine, the rest of his family consists of individuals highly dangerous to the World Government.
The World Government leaders couldn't help but question.
Is there something wrong with this guy's family upbringing? Why did the Marine Hero train individuals with such threatening potential?
Glancing at Garp, Sengoku became even more convinced of his suspicions. Given this guy's character, there's no way he could train good-natured individuals!
And on the side, Akainu's face grew even darker to the extreme! Straw Hat Luffy is already an incredibly threatening figure... But the more I delve into this tableau, the more I realize.
The relatives around him are simply more perilous!
