【One Piece】Dawn in the Darkness

Chapter 390 Big Event

"So I have three brothers?" Sabo repeated, crossing his arms as he looked at the guy eating across from him. "And the four of us are not related by blood?"

"Almost, but Lucci and Luffy are brothers, related by blood." Qi said, putting down the meat in his hand.

Sabo crossed his arms in thought. Just now Qi told him some stories about his brother.

Based on Qi's story, he raised several important points. Luffy and Lucci are brothers. He and another boy named Ace met Lucci in the forest when they were about 6.7 or 2 years old. They became friends. Two years later, they met Luffy, and then the four of them became brothers after drinking sake. They lived with bandits before moving into the tree house. They spent most of their time in the forest or exploring the garbage dump. They all dreamed of becoming pirates and longed for freedom.

"You know, the only thing that makes sense in this story is that you are a noble," Kerla said after taking a bite of the apple.

"Why?" Sabo looked at Kerla in confusion.

“You never lose the exquisite costumes and accents,” Kerla said with a laugh.

"I hate my parents." Sabo sighed deeply and stroked his blond hair with his fingers. He still remembered why he didn't want to go back. "I remember it was because of them that I didn't want to return to Dawn Island..."

"So there's a reason why you became a revolutionary." Kerla said with a smile, "It seems you've been a rebel since you were a child. It's shocking."

"Do you believe me now?" Qi asked with a smile.

"That sounds weird." Sabo sighed, but he did believe it, the story didn't seem like a lie, his description was too real, but he still didn't know why he was in the water and was rescued by a dragon, Qi's explanation was that he was created a long time ago, so he didn't know what happened to them afterwards.

"But why would Mr. Long appear on Dawn Island?" Sabo was silent for a long time, and finally asked with a frown. He had seen the location of the island. It was a remote island in the East China Sea. The Revolutionary Army generally would not carry out activities on such islands.

"Maybe to visit his two sons." Qi shrugged casually.

Sabo blinked, unable to believe his ears. He looked up at Qi again in shock, his expression exaggerated. "You...you just said that Long has two sons!?"

"Yes, Luffy and Lucci's father is Dragon." Qi said again, "But they probably haven't met."

Sabo opened his mouth wide, and suddenly remembered that a few months ago, Dragon helped a pirate in Rogue Town. It was on the platform where the Pirate King was executed. There was a young pirate who was about to be killed by another pirate. At that time, he was accompanying Dragon on a mission in the East China Sea. He saw with his own eyes that just when the blade was about to hit the pirate's neck, a lightning struck the platform. He was sure that it was caused by Dragon. He also helped the pirate crew escape from the pursuit of the navy. Now everything made sense, why would Dragon help that pirate.

Dragon saved him, but it's such a coincidence that he and his sons are sworn brothers. Although it may not be a coincidence, the fact that Straw Hat Luffy and Lucci are Dragon's sons does make the whole thing more meaningful.

"But..." Sabo leaned back in his seat, looking into the distance, his expression becoming serious. He said to Qi seriously, "I don't want to disappoint you, but the doctor has told me many times that the possibility of me recovering my memory is very slim."

"Oh, it's okay." Qi smiled. "It's not just you. Lucci has also lost his memory. They will accept it. Luffy and the others will just be glad that you are still alive. That's enough."

Sabo couldn't help but laugh when he heard these words "I really want to meet them."

"Luffy should be in Shampoo Land now. Come with me, maybe we can see him." Qi said with a smile, then took out the life paper from his pocket. "Fortunately, I made a life paper for Luffy in Shampoo Land, otherwise, with his personality, it would be difficult for me to find him."

"Maybe, we can." Sabo said uncertainly. He could rest for a while. Maybe they could travel to the Sabaody Archipelago for a week and meet the brother he mentioned. He just didn't know if Long would let him go for that long.

"Oh, I still have to report to Long." Sabo remembered what Long had said in the Den Den Mushi before, and turned to Qi and said, "You can rest here for a while. Maybe Mr. Long can help you arrange a boat to Shampoo Land."

"OK, thanks."

After watching Sabo leave, Qi put away the life paper in his hand. There was nothing abnormal about Luffy's life paper, so he should be fine. However, he didn't know what the situation was with Luffy and Ace, and Luffy's fruit ability was still unusable.

But Sabo is still alive, which is indeed a surprise.

"Where's Sabo?"

Qi turned his head to look at Kerla who was walking towards him hurriedly. She seemed to be Sabo's partner. She had left in the middle of his conversation with Sabo just now.

Noticing that she was clutching a newspaper tightly in her hand and seemed to be trembling with every step, Qi stood up puzzledly and asked, "What's wrong?"

"You just said that one of Sabo's sworn brothers is Ace the Fire Fist?"

"That's right." Qi frowned and looked at the excited Kerla "What happened?"

Kerla didn't answer, but handed him the newspaper. Qi took it and looked at the newspaper in his hand. He immediately noticed that there was a photo of Ace grinning on the front cover of the newspaper...

Big News: Whitebeard's Captain Portgas D. Ace will be executed in Marineford in a week.

……

Sabo walked into the office and closed the wooden door behind him. The room was simple and spacious, with no special furniture.

There is a balcony in the office that allows fresh air to circulate in the room. Like his room, there is a desk and bookshelf. Except for the desk piled with messy documents and reports being processed, the rest of the room is kept very clean.

Long was sitting behind his desk, his hands under his chin, staring at Sabo with a pair of fierce black eyes. Long's expression remained stoic throughout, and it had remained the same since they met. Sabo had never seen Long lose his composure, but even so, he could easily see the weariness in his boss's eyes.

"Mr. Long, it has been confirmed that the intruder is a member of Straw Hat Luffy's crew. He is also a clone created by the Whitebeard Pirate Lucci using his fruit power." Sabo hesitated for a moment, and finally continued to report, "He claimed that Straw Hat Luffy and the Whitebeard Pirate Lucci are... your sons."

"Yeah, I understand." Long said calmly.

Sabo looked up at Long. After he finished his report, Long's face showed no special emotions. Even when it came to his son, he did not show any abnormality.

"He said that me and the Straw Hats..."

A loud noise behind him interrupted Sabo's words. The wooden door behind him was pushed open eagerly. Sabo stared at Qi, who looked anxious, and Kerla, who was trying to stop him. He thought Qi was a calm person...
