[Series at the beginning of the chapter·Heart Pirates 31·"You are a person with special abilities, but you can't go into the water even if you transform! 】 [Rosinante is recovering from his injuries, and baby5 is observing the submarine made by Wolf, wondering if her weapon fruit can be transformed into this... Law's voice came from behind, and baby5 suddenly realized it. She turned her head and saw Law pushing the door and leaving. There was snow outside. Baby5 put on her cotton coat and hurriedly chased after him with another cotton coat...]——

"I am ashamed of being born a noble!"

The noble boy's sincere words shocked Drago deeply.

Has the Goa Kingdom become so rotten that even a child would say something like this?

"I understand, because I was also born in this country..." Dorag said to himself while holding Sabo, "But I don't have enough power to change this country..."

"Sabo!"

Sabo was wiping his tears. When he heard Luffy's voice, he turned his head and saw Aunt Tulip, Ace and Luffy waving at him.

Dragon helped Sabo to his feet.

"Hey, what wind brings you here?" The voice of the woman approaching from behind made Dorag's face stiffen. He turned around, lifted the hood of his cloak, and said helplessly, "Tulip..."

After Tulip was picked up from Nine Snake Island, she would always make sarcastic remarks to him no matter whether she was in a good mood or a bad mood.

Dorag knew that he was in the wrong in front of her in this life, so he just let her stab him.

Tulip and Dorag looked at each other silently, and suddenly smiled at each other.

Tulip lifted Luffy in front of Dragon and said with a smile: "Here, your son. Your old man hid him here! Hehe... Luffy, this is daddy, Monkey D. Dragon."

Ace and Sabo were surprised when they heard this. Especially Sabo, he felt a little embarrassed. He just showed his true feelings and thought it was just an uncle passing by. He didn't expect it to be Luffy's father! "Hello uncle, I'm Ace." Ace bowed to Dragon as politely as he could, "I'm Luffy's friend and Aunt Tulip's student."

"Ah, and me, my name is Sabo." Sabo also said quickly, "Same as Ace."

"Yeah." Dragon was taciturn but not cold. He nodded to Ace and Sabo, then looked at Luffy who was held by Tulip.

The latter seemed a little confused, not knowing how to get along with a creature called Dad, especially when this Dad was not as proactive and enthusiastic as Mom...

"Nice hat." Dragon smiled slightly and reached out to rub the straw hat on Luffy's head.

With just this simple sentence, Luffy's eyes gradually brightened, and he suddenly felt a blood connection with the man in front of him who didn't look much like him.

"Hehe!" He pulled the brim of his straw hat and laughed.

Tulip was a little puzzled. After all, she had been with her son many times on the island near the Navy Headquarters, but she had never met these two people before? How could they become so familiar with each other just by saying one sentence? Ace looked up at the family of three, stunned.

"Dragu! Get ready!"

At this moment, a tall figure wearing a cloak suddenly came over here. Tulip looked at the person and said, "It's Eva."

Dragon put Luffy down and said in a deep voice: "I know..."

Everyone walked towards the high walls of the Goa Kingdom. The huge fire outside almost turned half of the sky outside the city red. Endless thick smoke billowed up, creating a horrifying scene.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…

Two cloaked men, a tall woman in a floral dress, and three young men easily jumped to the top of the city wall.

"You came up like this?" Ace was surprised and looked back at the place where he was standing in the city. It must be several dozen meters high, right? Noticing the solemn silence around him, Ace looked back and was stunned.

Bear, bear, bear, bear…

Filling the entire field of vision was an endless sea of ​​fire, burning the entire mountain of garbage. Unimaginable smoke, stench, blood... mixed with faint cries, roars, and screams in the sea of ​​fire...

"This is simply... hell..."

Sabo muttered to himself, he was so shocked to see such a scene that he could hardly breathe.

Luffy was stunned and swallowed hard.

"..." Ace's eyes were gloomy.

Tulip had a blank expression on her face. It was hard to say how much she, a former pirate queen, cared about the lives of these street ghosts. But the tragic and ruthless scene before her made her feel uncomfortable.

Dorag raised his palms to the sky.

Boom, boom, boom…

There seemed to be a faint rumble of thunder in the night sky illuminated by the fire. Ace and Sabo were a little surprised. Luffy felt a slight chill on his face. He reached out and touched it. It was water. He asked curiously, "Is it raining?"

Eva looked up at the black night sky and sighed, "There is too much hot air here. Even if you are Dorag, you can't send down heavy rain to put out this fire in a short time."

"I'm going down to help!"

Sabo couldn't stand the shrill sounds coming from the sea of ​​fire anymore, so he jumped into the sea of ​​fire in front of him.

"Hey! Sabo!" Ace stretched out his hand and shouted, gritting his teeth and jumping down.

Luffy also jumped, and was held by the scruff of the neck by Tulip and led in the air above the city wall.

"Mom, what are you doing!" Luffy kicked and struggled.

Tulip nodded to Dorag, and the two embraced with one hand, tenderly for a moment.

"I hope you are well. You have received what you asked for." Tulip held Luffy in one hand and gently kissed the tattoo on Dragon's face. Then, smiling, she leaned back and fell off the city wall, into the vast burning mountain of garbage.

Eva looked sideways from time to time. Even today, she still found it hard to imagine the relationship between the mysterious man Dorag and Tulip. But after seeing it with her own eyes today, she couldn't help but believe it - the man's son was even brought out!

“…”

Dragon waited for a moment, and the Weather Fruit accumulated power, eventually drawing a huge amount of hot air, forming a long dragon of surging wind that flowed along his fingers and roared towards the sea of ​​fire in front of him...

……………………

After rushing into the sea of ​​fire, Sabo endured the scorching hot air and the unpleasant choking smoke, and went around saving people.

Ace doesn't care about the lives of those people, but he is willing to help Sabo.

Luffy acted first and thought later, moving on instinct.

Tulip used her Observation Haki to search for people, and the strong wind created by her Haki dispersed the fire waves. She assisted the three enthusiastic young men, and soon everyone was covered in dust and looked very embarrassed.

But there were panicked figures around, miserable cries, and even at this time, there were still people fighting each other, and blood was poured into the sea of ​​fire, making a hissing sound...

The air is filled with a foul smell...

"here……"

Sabo carried an old man on his back to a place with less fire and more people. He was so tired that he knelt on the ground, looked up at the dark night sky reflected by the sea of ​​fire, and muttered to himself: "Is this hell?"

“……”Tulip tore off the burnt corner of her skirt.

Luffy and Ace were so tired that they were out of breath. Looking at the painful and powerless Sabo, they didn't know what to say.

Boom!!!

Suddenly, a huge shock wave passed through the sea of ​​fire, blasting out a clean "corridor" in this hellish place. The sea of ​​fire was split like sea water, and the foul smoke was blown away. The people who survived the garbage mountain were in disbelief and surprise: "Where did this road come from?" "A road without fire appeared!" "Hey! I saw a ship! This road leads to the coast!" "Great, the ship was not burned by the fire!" "Although I don't know what happened, this is really great!"...

On the huge safe passage created by the storm, many people living in the garbage mountain ran towards the ship on the coast at the end of the passage.

On the dragon head's big boat, Eva smiled and said, "It's rare to see your son, why don't you stay a little longer?"

"..."Drager did not answer this question, but walked to the side of the boat and raised his fist to the refugees rushing in. Suddenly, this usually calm and silent man widened his eyes and shouted loudly:

"Anyone willing to fight for freedom with me - get on this boat!!!!!"

…

The roar at the end of the passage was so deafening that it could be heard even from this side.

“…”

Sabo, who fell to his knees powerlessly, looked over there blankly. He recognized the voice as that of the uncle who was willing to listen to his crying, Luffy's father.

Ace behind him suddenly said, "Hey, why are you still kneeling?"

Sabo was a little confused. He looked back and saw Ace folding his arms, staring at the silhouette of the ship at the end of the crowd. He said calmly, "Didn't you hear what Uncle Dorag said?"

"..." Sabo's eyes became hot and he said in a trembling voice, "But, Ace...we agreed to go out to sea and become pirates together..."

Ace smiled, "Do you want to stare at the pirate flag in the future and regret it for the rest of your life, or do you want to get on that ship now?"

Sabo lowered his head and tried desperately to wipe away his tears, but he couldn't wipe them all away.

Luffy was stunned watching and felt a little overwhelmed.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Ace sat down on the ground, looking at the night sky with blazing flames, and said to himself: "It's okay, I changed my mind too - although I still want to be a pirate - Sabo. Do what you want to do. The original intention of us wanting to be pirates was to avoid regrets and to be free! Isn't that right?"

Sabo took a deep breath, choked a little, and smiled: "Yes. We agreed to become the freest people on the sea together!"

"Even if we can't see each other for a long time in the future, we are still best..." Ace paused and smiled, "Forget it. We are still best friends!"

He thrust his fist towards Sabo and bumped his fist with Sabo. Luffy shouted, "There's me too!" and thrust his fist forward as well.

The three boys put their fists together. Tulip smiled and said, "Is that what you were thinking about?"

Ace was surprised to see Tulip handing him a small wine bottle.

"Auntie..." He took the bottle.

Tulip took out three more small wine glasses and said proudly, "Recently I've always seen you staring at my wine in a daze, so I know what you're thinking about."

She teased Ace, "After all, he is a delicate kid like a girl. I know best what girls are thinking."

Rarely, Ace was not angry. He gratefully opened the bottle and filled the three glasses.

Sabo and Luffy watched Ace pour the wine. Ace looked at them and smiled, "Do you know? Once you drink the 'brotherhood wine', you will become brothers. I am Ace, the son of the 'devil'. Are you willing to be brothers with me?"

Ace choked up a bit as he spoke, tears welling up in his eyes, but he still smiled, raised one of the glasses, and swayed the wine slightly.

"..." Sabo smiled, picked up another wine glass, and suddenly said, "I, Sabo! I..."

He looked at his other hand. "I originally wanted to be a pirate just to get my own freedom, because I only felt my own lack of freedom... But now I don't understand. Poor people are not free, but I, the son of a noble, am not free either... Why is that? There must be more people like me, but they may eventually become like my parents, like those nobles who are indifferent even though they know this burning hell... Not to mention those ordinary people, the poor who don't even have a choice about whether they are free or not... I don't know what to do, so... um, that's right! I really want to get on Uncle Dragon's ship..."

Sabo took a deep breath and finally figured out his thoughts a little. He raised his glass, looked at Ace and Luffy, grinned and said: "I want to do my part for the freedom of all mankind!!!"

The boy's voice echoed in the night sky where fire was spreading on both sides.

Ace was deeply touched. He lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then murmured, "My father is the Pirate King..."

His mind was reverberating with the words of the red-haired guy, those wonderful and heroic half-life of the man named Roger. Originally, in Ace's mind, it was just a symbol called the devil formed by the hatred of others, but now it has a concrete image.

"But I want to surpass him!" Ace raised his eyes, raised his glass, and said firmly, "I won't stop being a pirate because of him. Whether to be a pirate is my own decision. It has nothing to do with him! - I want to surpass him! Then, I want to prove that he is nothing great! He has been dead for a long time, don't think about controlling my life anymore! I want to be the freest person and live without regrets forever!!!"

Tulip looked at the three teenagers and smiled softly.

In Luffy's eyes, Sabo and Ace both looked at him.

He held up the cup with one hand and pressed the straw hat on his head with the other hand, grinning and saying, "I'm very simple, I want to be the Pirate King!!!"

The three young men smiled at each other and clinked their glasses!

bite……

"From today on, we are 'brothers'!"

The wine swayed slightly. In the raging fire and under the night sky, the three young men smiled brightly.

…

Countless refugees who escaped from the sea of ​​fire rushed onto the ship. When the revolutionary army's ship was about to leave the shore, Dorag suddenly said, "Bear, Eva, wait a minute."

On the deck, Eva and Big Bear stopped and looked back at the shore. In the empty passage with raging fire on both sides, they saw a young man holding a broken water pipe walking towards them quickly, waving his hands vigorously and shouting loudly, begging them to wait for him.

"Uncle! Take me away!!"

With tears in his eyes, Sabo ran towards the ship and shouted with all his might, "Take me away--!!!"

Dorag smiled slightly by the boat and clenched his fists.

…

The revolutionary army's dragon boat slowly left the coast. Sabo looked back at the sea of ​​fire, the garbage mountain, Mount Korpo, the windmill village, and everything here...

Farewell, Goa Kingdom!

Goodbye, Ace! Luffy! And Aunt Tulip...

One day, we will meet again! Sabo had tears in his eyes, but a bright smile. We will definitely meet again, one day, somewhere in the sea!

…

"Stop crying."

Ace turned around and said to Luffy unhappily.

Luffy sobbed, "I'm not crying..."

Ace said as they walked: "Sabo has already taken a step forward on the road to his dream, we can't fall behind! Cheer up!"

He smiled slightly, looked at Luffy, and held down the latter's straw hat, "...Brother."

Tulip said meaningfully, "Luffy's father should teach Sabo for me... His skills are indeed more suitable for Sabo! If you two lose to Sabo in the future..."

Ace and Luffy both froze.

Ace said hurriedly: "No way! I'm the eldest brother, how could I lose to that guy."

"Hey, are you the biggest?" Luffy was surprised. "Sabo is so gentle, I thought he was the biggest..."

"What does gentleness have to do with age?!" Ace said angrily, "And am I not good enough?"

The two brothers quarreled all the way, and the wind blew them away. Tulip waved and looked at the sea of ​​fire and the shadow of the ship gradually disappearing on the distant sea, and smiled brightly.

…………………………

The sea of ​​fire burned the mountain, like falling into hell...

A big book with a cover like this lies quietly on a broad white cloud.

The white cloud was speeding through the sky. It was wearing a childish cap and had a human-like face, but it looked lazy and listless. It muttered, "How far is it? I'm so hungry. I want to eat thunder and lightning..."

Finally finished, I am very satisfied and have no regrets. This is probably the best I can write.
