At a time when countless people on the sea were extremely shocked by the power of the navy, they were on an island on the edge of the great sea route and windless zone.
"Did you see clearly, Luffy?! These are the enemies you will face!"
Sabo wore a short black mantle on his shoulders, which was somewhat similar to Dorag's hood that never left his body, but it looked different.
Now he is undoubtedly more calm and restrained. He no longer has a silly smile on his face, and he no longer has the exaggerated body movements that he used to do in the past.
From boy to man.
Boom!
Sabo said loudly, inserting the dagger into a wooden board, which had photos of every named general in the navy from Marshal Akainu to Lieutenant General Sixteen.
Taken individually, each person above can be so powerful that even though it is just a photo, it gives people a sense of breathless oppression.
"How can you remember so many!"
"but… "
Luffy muttered and lowered the brim of his hat: "Just become stronger and beat them all away, right?"
The experience of the G10 base and major events taught Luffy what an unreasonable gap there is between the powerful and the weak in this world!
That is not a gap that can be made up by "working hard" and "working hard"!
Just like a math problem, you won't be able to answer it even if you are pressed.
If I want to lead everyone on this journey, I must become stronger!
“…”
What he said... was not unreasonable.
After a moment of silence, Sabo sighed feebly: "Indeed... But I still don't recommend that you focus on the navy, Luffy."
"I don't want you to become the next Blackbeard, a simple Avenger... because that is exactly what Soryu wants!"
"He is deliberately spreading fear and hatred, distorting our ideas, and letting us be led by his nose and perish in madness."
"So, keep your original intention in mind and don't forget your dreams and your dreams!"
Hearing this, behind Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Nami, Chopper, Usopp, Robin and others fell silent.
Their dreams really shouldn't have too much to do with the navy.
but…
Ace is Luffy's brother after all!
How could Luffy let go of his hatred after witnessing his death in front of his eyes? !
"I know that kind of thing without you having to tell me, Sabo!"
At this time, Luffy suppressed his voice and said: "So don't worry, I know what I should do..."
"When I become the Pirate King, Esta..."
"He must be happy too, right?"
It was obviously a smile on his face, but two lines of tears kept falling, wetting the soft yellow sand under his feet.
In response, Sabo stared with red eyes and nodded solemnly: "I will definitely do it!"
Then he wiped away his tears and said to the others: "Your strength was already very good in the first half, but if you want to survive in today's new world and fight those monsters, you still have a lot to do!"
"I found several suitable places for you to practice through the intelligence network within the Revolutionary Army. This is also the last thing Xiong asked me to do before leaving."
"first… "
"Nami!"
Sabo took out a map and said: "This is a small island country called Visalia Island. The scholars there are second to none in the world in meteorology!"
"If you want to lead everyone forward in the chaotic climate of the New World, learning their knowledge will be very helpful to you!"
In the original work, the bear certainly didn't send the Straw Hats away by slapping them randomly. His catchphrase is "If you want to travel, where do you want to go?" He can accurately control the landing point of being swatted away.
There is nothing random about the Straw Hats' two-year experience. Everything is the result of Xiong's careful compilation of information and careful selection.
Except Luffy…
After shooting Luffy, Xiong told Rayleigh where Luffy landed and asked Rayleigh to teach him. It was also then that Reilly learned that the true identity of Xiong, a government lackey, turned out to be a revolutionary army.
Nami nodded and took the map firmly.
She didn't ask stupid questions about whether everyone would join her, because she knew that this was her own adventure.
"Usopp, this is the Boeing Islands..."
"Chopper, this is the Kingdom of Trino..."
Sabo arranged them one by one, leaving Zoro, Sanji, and Luffy in the end.
"Originally, Xiong wanted you to learn swordsmanship from Mihawk. With that man's character, he would definitely find it interesting to cultivate opponents for himself, but now..."
"It doesn't matter!"
Sauron grinned and said with a smile: "I have decided to take a different path than everyone else and let my name resound in the kingdom of heaven!"
"So just give me a ship... It's time to let the world know how terrifying the pirate hunters in the East China Sea are!"
Sabo was silent for a moment and nodded.
"I see."
"Luffy, Sanji, you are part of the core combat force just like Zoro. I can teach you how to use Haki at most, but I can't interfere too much in the next step. Do you understand?"
After thinking for a moment, Sabo held back and did not cruelly send Sanji to the Kingdom of Kamapaka.
The name sounds normal, but that kingdom... is full of transvestites!
Therefore, it is also called Kamapaka, the “Kingdom of Ladyboys”!
That's why Xiong's original plan was to "shoot them away", because if Sanji was allowed to make his own choice, he would definitely rather die than surrender!
"I see."
Luffy nodded solemnly.
Sabo can only point out the way for them to become stronger, but the specific way to take it is their own business, and no one has any reason to interfere.
"I will stay and train. There are many dangerous beasts on this island. They are enough to be my opponents."
Compared to Zoro's method of going out to sea to find strong enemies to fight, Luffy is more suitable for the forest.
Because he grew up in the forest since he was a child, all his abilities come from nature.
Luffy knew this clearly, so he chose this beast-infested island to practice.
"I'm going to go to the food city first to see the most famous food destinations in the Grand Line."
Sanji, who didn't know he had escaped, had eyes full of anticipation, and then frowned.
"But... if we appear scattered on the sea, we will be defeated by the navy one by one, right?"
He lit his cigarette and asked: "After all, after the G10 incident, our threat level in the eyes of the navy is very different from before."
"In fact, I have already made arrangements for this matter..."
Sabo smiled mysteriously and said, "Besides, you won't be afraid even if you are accidentally imprisoned in Impel Down City. During the big incident, we got in touch with our companions in Impel Down City."
"They secretly created a safe zone in Impulse City without telling the navy. Although they are still unable to leave, there is no problem in protecting themselves... Once the time is right, we will unite, cooperate inside and outside, and rescue the old leader!"
The "old leader" in Sabo's mouth is undoubtedly Monkey D. Drag!
"In other words, even if we are caught, we still have a chance to escape?"
Sanji raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and suddenly noticed Luffy, who was looking confused, and the corner of his mouth twitched: "Hey, Luffy, that's your father, can you give me a reaction?!"
"Huh? Oh, I know!"
(°°)!
Sanji: "..."
Don't read it to me, asshole!
"Having said that, I don't want you to have too much involvement with us, if possible."
Sabo shook his head without explaining much, and then took a deep breath: "So, please stay alive, everyone!"
"Each of us has a reason to work hard to live!"
Sabo's eyes stayed on Robin for a moment before continuing.
"The miracle called freedom will eventually bloom after the darkest dawn. I have no doubt about it!"
In response, the Straw Hats nodded silently, with firm eyes and cheers.
"oh!!!"
A few hours later, Nami squeezed her cheek as she watched Zoro heading toward the unknown sea alone in a small boat.
"It feels like we forgot something?"
"Forgot something?"
Usopp blinked, not understanding, and then ignored it, holding the map: "Don't worry about that now, Nami... help me quickly, where should I start from when I want to go to the Boeing Islands?"
"Which way? Wait a minute and let me take a look..."
Nami subconsciously took the map, suddenly came to her senses and raised her head suddenly.
"Which way???"
At the same time, the rest of the Straw Hats raised their heads in unison and turned to look at the swaying boat that was about to disappear into the sea, their expressions instantly horrified.
"No, Zoro, come back quickly!!"
Bang! ! !
As soon as the words fell, a sea beast opened its bloody mouth, brought up thousands of tons of white waves, and bit the boat hard on the sea.
"That's not part of the plan!"
Sauron roared with fangs and drew his sword to resist.
"Ho ho ho!"
The painful sea beast suddenly shook its head, and together with the boat, it lifted Zoro into the sky and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Straw Hats: "..."
It’s over!
Hopeless!
