Revolutionary Army

Kuzan, do as you are ordered. Straw Hats might not be Yonko. But, they have their own Fleet. Use whatever means you have to destroy Straw Hat Pirates."

"Marines are ready!"

Liam spoke with a serious tone as he listened to the sound coming from the Sound Shell.

"We have to get out of Water Seven. We can't get them involved in this." Nami nodded her head.

"But before that, let's meet up with our Fleet. It seems like Buggy D Clown has also joined our crew." Liam chuckled.

"Tch! Why did you even invite him? That guy is a moron." Luffy showed a disgusting expression as he spoke.

"Well, his devil fruit power is quite interesting. If only he wasn't an idiot, he could've reached the level of an Emperor with his devil fruit." Liam answered.

"Really? Doesn't he just split his body?" Nami asked with confusion.

"That's the case but it is the state before awakening. Remember when you awaken your devil fruit, you can change your surroundings. Logia Fruit users can permanently change the weather."

"Paramecia can turn the surroundings into their powers. If he can awaken, he might be able to split the surroundings. You understand what that means, right?"

Liam spoke with a serious expression.

Hearing his words, others nodded their head but Luffy was still dissatisfied with Buggy. But he didn't continue to be a baby and complain.

"Anyway, we don't necessarily need his power. We just need his influence. Although Crocodile and Bullet are strong, they have one thing that Buggy doesn't have."

"It's background. With the right moments and the right background, you can create a terrifying image in the hearts of ordinary people."

Liam shrugged his shoulders upon seeing their expressions and spoke.

Others nodded their heads while Nami couldn't help but remember her past.

She was similar to the most common people in this world. She would not believe something that she didn't think was possible and would have believed anything that she thought was possible.

She never thought there would be people who could defeat Arlong. At the same time, she always underestimated Luffy at the beginning because her understanding of power was too shallow.

That is how ignorance functions. And, how people like World Government take advantage of it.

Liam knew this very well. This was the main reason why Buggy had such a fearsome reputation despite not having any strength.

"So, are we just going to the camp of World Government without any preparation?" Robin asked. Although she had complete belief in her crew, she still hoped that there would be a better plan.

"Of course not! We can't just go there and expect to run away from the Marine's Reinforcement without having a trump card."

"Robin, why do you think Marines do not usually use their Admirals to destroy small but potential crews?" Liam asked with a big smile on his face.

"Because they need the Admirals in some other bigger job." Robin solemnly answered.

"That's exactly the reason why but you have to understand one thing. We are not going to Marineford. That is indeed their turf but they don't have complete control over Enies Lobby."

"That means as long as we can provide them without enough reason, they won't be able to send any reinforcement until we defeat their troops. In fact, they would definitely call back the Admirals." Liam spoke.

"So, what exactly is the plan?" Sanji asked.

Liam didn't answer instead looked at Luffy.

"Did you feel them?"

Luffy confusedly stared at Liam.

Only then did Liam realize that Luffy wasn't properly listening to the plan. He cleared his throat and asked.

"Did you feel the presence of strong people landing on the island?"

Hearing his words, Luffy nodded his head and said.

"Are you talking about them? There are three people that are more powerful than the Vice Admiral guy we faced but a bit weaker than the Admiral."

Liam nodded his head and spoke.

"I got the feeling that we have a relationship with them. If Marines are really going to send such powerful troops for us, there should be a person who will get notified as well."

"Who?" Everyone looked at him and asked.

"Your dad." Liam looked at Luffy and answered.

"My dad?" Luffy confusedly stared at Liam.

"Wait, Luffy's dad is Revolutionary, right? Does that mean they are here?" Robin paused for a moment and asked.

"Luffy's dad is coming?" Nami curiously asked.

"No! If he was coming then we would've sensed him a long time ago." Liam shook his head and spoke.

"Anyway, let's go and meet them. We might get a powerful surprise soon."

Liam took the crew to the shores of the Water Seven and they headed toward the north.

.....

"Are we going to alert Straw Hats or not?" A man covered in a black fur coat asked.

"We must alert them but I am not sure if we can directly just go and say that they are chased by the marines." A man with a black hat and black coat spoke.

"Anyway we have already come here in Leader's Order, we must alert them and leave. If Marines find out about our location, we will be a trouble." A girl with yellow hair and a short skirt spoke.

"Wait, I feel someone is coming toward us." The man with black fur spoke.

"Are you sure, Karasu?" The girl frowned and asked. She clenched her fist, preparing herself for the battle.

"It seems like that news isn't a rumor. They are powerful, really powerful." The man with a black hat narrowed his eyes as he turned around.

"Sabo-kun, you mean Straw Hat found us?" The girl easily deciphered the meaning behind his words and asked with wide eyes.

"I have a feeling that they have found us a long time. I felt two powerful glares when we landed. But, it disappeared in an instant so I thought it was just my illusion."

"It turns out I was wrong." Karasu spoke.

"They have no fighting intent. Do not worry, Koala." Sabo gently smiled as he loosened his fist. He stared at a far distance as he saw a group of people slowly moving towards him.

They seemed carefree especially a guy with the Straw Hat in the middle.

Sabo couldn't help but feel strange when he saw that Straw Hat. He couldn't help but get the feeling that he had seen that Straw Hat somewhere.

It's just that he can't remember it.

"Hello, Revolutionaries!" As Straw Hats reached in front of them, Liam smiled gently and greeted them.

"You know us?" Sabo narrowed his eyes and asked. Although they showed no fighting intent, he couldn't just let his guard down.

In fact, he had already asked Koala to stand behind him. And, Karasu had already activated his Devil Fruit.

"A-a-a-re you Sabo?" Luffy couldn't help but tremble at the sight of the man in front of him. He tried to keep himself calm but his shutter betrayed him.

The man in front of him looked exactly like his childhood brother. It's just that his brother was supposed to be dead.

Liam hadn't revealed anything about Sabo so he naturally didn't know that Sabo was alive.

In fact, he almost shook his head until Sabo looked surprised as he asked.

"Do I know you?"

He got the feeling that he knew the person in front of him but he couldn't get the memories of him.

"No, you look exactly like my brother. But, he should have been dead ten years ago. You can't be him." Luffy shook his head when he saw Sabo acting surprised.

In his mind, as long as his brother sees him, he would definitely recognize him. Since this man didn't recognize him, it means he wasn't his brother.

"Is that so? I don't know why but I feel like I know you, especially your hat." Sabo couldn't help but continue the conversation as he looked at Luffy's hat and face a few more times.

But, he couldn't just remember it.

"Luffy, why don't you put these in your ears for a moment?" Liam took out two earplugs and gave it to Luffy.

Luffy was still confused but he didn't even hesitate to follow Liam's advice. After putting on those earplugs, he realized that he couldn't hear anything.

"Sabo, I got some important news for you." Liam turned his head and spoke.

"News?" Sabo looked confused as he asked.

"Portgas D Ace died two days ago, killed by Blackbeard." Liam put on a solemn expression and spoke.

"What?"

Before even Sabo could react, other Straw Hats reacted in shock.

But, it didn't take those words long to trigger a strange reaction in Sabo.

"Portgas D Ace died!"

"Ace is dead."

"He died."

Sabo's mind was full of these thoughts even though he didn't know why. Just when he put more effort into remembering those forgotten memories, he felt a sting on his head.

The pain was so intense that it was killing him.

"Ahhhhhh!"

A scream came out of his mouth as his eyes turned blank and he fell on the ground unconscious.
