Chapter 207 Reunion, the Secret Fruit is Realized.
A new world, uncharted waters.
Sabo entered the waters protected by the white-bearded man in a small speedboat.
Whitebeard, the strongest man in the world, was nervous even as a staff officer of the Revolutionary Army at the thought of meeting him.
He adjusted his top hat, and his eyes beneath the brim calmed down.
He was on a mission, ordered to make contact with Whitebeard.
Based on past events and Whitebeard's style of doing things, it's clear to everyone that he has no ambition to dominate the world.
Dragon hopes to get Whitebeard's help to temporarily maintain the balance of the sea and buy time to accumulate strength for the revolution.
……
As Sabo approached the giant, whale-like ship, he looked up and saw a half-naked figure on the bulwark.
He had the iconic Whitebeard Pirates tattoo prominently displayed on his back and was laughing heartily while holding a drink.
Sabo's steps froze abruptly, a sharp, stabbing pain gripping his heart.
……
That strangely familiar profile, that hearty, almost noisy laughter, was like a silent thunderclap, suddenly shattering Sabo's chaotic mind.
In the mist.
Three small figures clinked glasses on the trash at the waste disposal terminal, their rough wooden cups filled with stolen, cheap liquor.
"From today onwards, we're brothers!"
Whose voice is this...?
"Hey! Ace, Luffy! Even if we're separated, I will never forget you!"
This is my voice. Who am I talking to...? Why does it sound so familiar? Such a familiar name...
……
In my memory, that freckled, stubborn yet warm smiling face overlaps with the young man who turned around on the deck.
"Hey!! Are you a challenger or a customer? Want a drink?!"
tick...
tick...
Why am I crying...?
"What's wrong, Sabo?"
Kerr stretched out his hand and pressed it against Sabo's face, which was streaming with tears, his voice full of concern.
……
"You've gotten this close, hey! If you don't tell me who you are, I'm going to consider you my enemies!"
Teach stepped out and said.
Seeing Teach's fierce expression, Koala had no choice but to look up and reply, "I am Koala of the Revolutionary Army, and this is...."
Before she could finish speaking, Ace grinned and said, "Ha! I know, it's Mr. Dragon's organization!"
"I am Potter-D. Ace! The second division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates! Hello everyone!!"
Just as Luffy knew that Ace was Roger's son, Ace also knew who Luffy's father was.
They once joked that they both inherited the blood of world-class criminals and could never become naval officers.
……
Ace's attitude relieved Kelp. She glanced at Sabo's condition and nudged him lightly with her elbow.
He announced loudly, "We are here on orders to pay our respects to Lord Whitebeard. Is now a convenient time?"
……
"Oh, I see! Dad was looking for you!!"
Ace raised his hand to beckon, while Sabo on the small boat kept his head down.
"Ace..."
The name slowly escaped his lips, as if responding to a call from the depths of his soul.
boom--!
At that moment, the gates that sealed away memories shattered!
The forests of Mount Gorbo, Dadan's cabin, fighting pirates together, sharing their secrets...
All the memories lost due to the Celestial Dragons' bombardment flooded every inch of Sabo's memory like a burst dam.
Breathing has stopped.
My heart was pounding wildly.
Sabo suddenly looked up, staring intently at Ace on the deck, his eyes brimming with tears but refusing to blink.
A sense of unknown allure made Ace turn his head to look down.
The smile on his face vanished, replaced by extreme confusion and a hint of instinctive unease.
Why is this revolutionary looking at me like that?
How can pain and joy appear in the same pair of eyes at the same time...?
"What's your name?"
……
"Sa...Sa..." Sabo's voice trembled, unable to even finish saying his name. He staggered forward, almost falling.
Kera quickly helped Sabo up, and although she didn't understand the situation, she continued to explain for Sabo.
"Sabo! His name is Sabo!"
……
Ace paused slightly, a smile involuntarily creeping onto his lips: "That name sounds familiar... It's the name of one of my brothers..."
The sound stopped abruptly.
Looking at that familiar top hat and the face that gradually overlapped with his memory, Ace's voice choked up.
"Sabo...Sabo has already..."
"Don't joke with me like that..."
……
Sabo swallowed something, and with all his might, shouted out the words that only they knew.
For nobles, 18 was considered adulthood, therefore...
"Listen up, Ace!!"
"We want to set sail at 17, to live freely, freer than anyone else!!!"
After shouting those words, Sabo could no longer hold on and collapsed backward, unconscious.
……
The next second, a ball of blazing flame swept across the sea.
"Sabo!!!!"
His roar was tinged with sobs, and his tears were evaporated by the flames.

When I woke up again, it was three days later.
Sabo had just opened his eyes when he was gripped tightly by two hands behind his back, the force almost crushing him.
"You bastard!!!"
Hot tears fell onto Sabo's shoulder.
"Damn it...we all thought you were dead, Luffy...Luffy..."
"Damn it!!! Why didn't you come looking for us?!"
……
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I'm sorry... Ace... Luffy..."
Sabo was also sobbing uncontrollably, only repeating apologies and his brother's name.
……
……
"Well... although it's very inappropriate, he has just woken up from a huge mental shock, so it's best not to upset him too much."
"If he faints again, it might cause serious damage to his brain."
Marco lifted Ace up, while Koala leaned against Sabo, gently stroking his back to comfort him.
……
After a while, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
After Ace and Koala described the situation, the cause of the matter was roughly clarified.
Sabo didn't die back then, but the brain injury caused him to lose his memory. After being rescued by Dragon, he trained in the Revolutionary Army until now, when he is an officer and dedicated to the cause of the Revolutionary Army.
……
"Gurgle—la—la—"
A distinctive laugh rang out, and the white-bearded man raised a barrel of liquor: "Marco, young people aren't so fragile, anyway..."
"Let's throw a reunion banquet first!!!"

Under the moonlight, the white-bearded man leaned against the mast and smiled faintly, "Is that so... Are you worried about the Navy launching a crackdown on pirates?"
Sabo nodded: "Yes, Mr. Whitebeard."
"Even without this incident, according to the intelligence we've gathered, the World Government is secretly plotting something, trying to deal with someone."
"Perhaps you've forgotten, but the leader said you saved him in the Valley of the Gods..."
"Considering the kindness shown to him, and considering the principle of mutual dependence, he wishes to discuss this matter in detail with you."
……
"After all these years, you still speak so politely... what was it again?"
Ace had his arm around Sabo's shoulder. For the past three days, he hadn't wanted to leave Sabo for even a second, and hadn't slept at all, so that he could be there for Sabo the moment he woke up...
bang-
The bottles clinked together, and Ace grinned, "Don't worry! Dad's the strongest!"
"No matter the danger, whether it's the Navy or the World Government, Daddy will win!"
"He's going to be the Pirate King!!"
……
Sabo looked at Ace and smiled knowingly.
That's great... Ace.
Just as Mr. Dragon found me, you have also found your place.
……
Is Luffy still in Windmill Village?
Ace counted on his fingers...
"He's been at sea for almost a month now, let's go find him! He'll be so happy!!"
"good!!"
We were chatting...
A small auxiliary boat sped towards them, and a crew member on the bow shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Save...save Captain Sachi! He's dying!!!"
"Teach, he..."
"Teach stole Captain Thatch's Devil Fruit!!"
……
Everyone's expression changed.
