Chapter 38: Sabo

The "uncertain terminus" is also called "garbage mountain".

At the northern end of the garbage mountain, there is a small town.

But a thick wall separates the garbage mountain from the town.

The city gate, known as the "Gate", is the only entrance and exit point to the town.

In the Kingdom of Goa, a large amount of garbage is dumped in the garbage mountains twice a day.

People who live in garbage mountains dig out food or items they need from the garbage.

They also come to the town from time to time to sell recycled items, but they never beg to live in the town.

Because really no one likes to live that uncomfortable life.

Passing through the gate, there is an avenue where passers-by can see it at a glance.

It leads to the "border town" that still has a slight stench.

The border town is a gathering place for outlaws and gangsters in the town.

Further inside, there is the clean and tidy Center Street, and in the center of the Center Street, a tall fence rises.

Inside the wall, there is the "high town" inhabited by the royal family and nobles.

The Kingdom of Goa, known as "the cleanest country in the East China Sea", is spotlessly clean.

Because of the complete elimination of what is not needed, this country can be described as a successful example of a [segregated society].

The gates of the garbage hill and the border town are guarded by several royal armies every day.

Today is no exception.

"Listen!

After evening, the garbage hunting unit will haunt the town, so watch out for your little life! ”

The soldier on duty looked at the long queue and said impatiently.

............

"Catch them!"

In a hotel in the town, there was a sudden commotion.

The sound of "thunderbolt" kept ringing.

"Catch them!" A middle-aged uncle with an apron and a Mediterranean hairstyle stood on the street with a shovel and shouted.

The pedestrians on the street stopped one after another, and watched curiously as the three figures rode away.

"Thank you for your hospitality!!" Luffy and the three of them, who ran away, shouted loudly, and then ran out of the city with a grin.

"But... Damn Dead Imp!! Don't come back next time!! The hotelier, who was exhausted, stamped his feet in frustration and shouted out of breath.

The security manager, who was always a step late, just ran to the boss's side at this time, shaking his body of fat, and yelled at the boss angrily: "Don't you know that they are habitual offenders? Why let them in! ...”

The poor boss was not only eaten the overlord meal, but also criticized and educated by the sheriff.

"Hahahahaha......"

Luffy and the three of them laughed and exchanged words all the way, running towards the gate, no matter how many pedestrians they scared along the way.

And directly in front of Luffy's direction, there happened to be a slightly bloated aristocratic man dressed in gorgeous clothes.

Luffy's laughter kept coming, and the aristocratic man's ears moved, and he always felt that the sound was slightly familiar.

Luffy and the three of them passed by the nobleman's side, and the nobleman's originally calm face changed instantly.

"Saab? Are you Saab?" The aristocratic man shouted, "Stop!!" You're still alive!! Come home with me!! ”

Listening to the aristocratic man's shout, the speed of the three did not slow down at all, but Sabo's face changed from the original joy to a little heavy.

"Hello? Saab! Someone called you! Hearing the incessant shouting behind him, Ace asked curiously.

Sabo's face was not very good, and he replied perfunctorily to Ace: "Probably admit a mistake, let's go." ”

Luffy, who knew the cause and effect, chose to be silent at this time.

The owner of the hotel returned to the hotel and complained to the waitress: "Twenty-six bowls of ramen and a piece of glass were lost." ”

The waitress was surprised: "I really didn't expect to break the window and escape......

It's the fourth floor! ”

The trio trotted all the way back to the secret base from the town.

After a moment's respite.

Ace stood up and said to Sabo, "Sabo, why did that person know you just now?" Are you hiding something?"

Sabo said a little depressedly, "What!! What can I hide?"

Of course, Ace didn't believe it, and continued to ask: "Impossible! Say it! Saab! ”

"That's it, Sabo, what secrets are there between us?" Luffy said as he spoke.

Sabo froze for a moment, then slowly recalled, "Actually...... I have parents, I am not an orphan, and I didn't grow up in a garbage mountain.

The one who stopped me today was actually my dad."

The more Saab spoke, the more negative he became, and finally he simply lowered his head.

"I'm sorry I lied to you!"

"Just admit your mistake, I forgive you!" Luffy grinned.

Ace turned around and muttered loudly, "What, this surprises me too much...

Since you are the son of a nobleman, why did you run into the garbage mountain?"

Listening to Ace's words, Sabo fell into painful memories again, and did not speak for a long time.

Seeing this, Luffy hurriedly interjected, "Okay, okay." Ace, who hasn't had something they don't want to say.

But Sabo, you're really weak! ”

Sabo looked up, blinked confusedly, and looked at Luffy.

"Ace, it's okay if I told Sabo about you..."

Ace's grip on the steel pipe tightened for a moment, then relaxed.

"It's okay..."

"Sabo, since you have told you about your background, then as a brother, I will be honest.

Portkas S. D. Ace, One Piece Gore Son of D. Roger.

Monchi. D. Luffy, the grandson of the naval hero Monchi D. Karp, and the son of the revolutionary leader Monchi D. Dragon. ”

“............”

The scene fell silent in an instant.

Sabo's mouth was wide open, and his jaw was about to fall to the ground in surprise.

Luffy waved his hand helplessly and glanced back at Ace, but he didn't expect Ace's expression to be exactly the same as Sabo.

"Luffy! You're actually the son of the revolutionary Dragon?"

Ace was shocked and said, even if he didn't care much about the news, he knew that Long was the most troublesome criminal in the world government!

Sabo was still stunned, not knowing what to say.

Luffy smiled and patted Sabo on the shoulder.

"That's why I said, Sabo, you're weak.

Leave the group!

You're just a kid of an ordinary aristocratic family.

Hahahahaha......ha

As Luffy spoke, he suddenly burst out laughing to himself, regardless of Sabo and Ace looking at him like fools.

"You, you're all so good..."

Sabo was indeed taken aback by Luffy's words.

But being interrupted by Luffy like this, the mood is a lot better.

On the contrary, it was Ace, because the past in his heart was brought up, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad.

"Alright, Ace." Luffy patted Ace on the shoulder again, both comforting and serious, and said to Saboas: "Everything about my father's generation has nothing to do with us, since we were born in this world, then this is our world."

There's one thing I haven't told Ace that the old ministry of One Piece once approached me and wanted you to inherit Roger's will, but I refused!

We are not anyone's heirs!

We are ourselves!

We fight only for ourselves!

I hope that one day our three brothers can surpass any of our predecessors and become legends in the world!

Become an existence that can make the world tremble by stomping your feet! ”
