34 Larch and Sabo

Sabo: It seems that you are still sharp, Larch-kun. Nothing gets past you.

Larch: Well i don't see your crew anywhere and i don't you are the type of person to leave them for whatever reason, except for love. So who is she? Don't forget that you being my brother, i will help you whatever you need.

Sabo: Her name is Bella. She is a world noble, but she is bad treated by the other world nobles as she is completely different from them. I met her when i was travelling through the east blue, she didn't had anyone escorting her, as she was all alone. The moment i laid my eyes on her i fell in love with her.

Larch had known Sabo for a few years now and he knew that Sabo wasn't a man that would cry or beg so lightly, even Sabo asked Larch to spare his parents when they attacked them while they were young, he didn't shed a single tear or knelt to Larch. He simply asked him, but this time Larch was seeing tiny tears forming in Sabo' eyes, as he stopped talking.

Larch: You must be really in love with her.

Sabo: I am. Continuing my story, after i saw her i tried to approached her and i got to talk with her and we bonded, the next few days we spent together walking through cities, she made me even abandon my dream of becoming a pirate and be by her side. Those moments, brother, i think that wasn't more happy in my life. We had so much in common, she didn't like what the world nobles ideals had, in fact she tried to help the kingdoms and the people that were in difficult spot.

As Sabo finished speaking a deep bloodthirsty aura came out of him, as it was spreading through Pluton, a barrier appeared blocking the aura from spreading crazily.

Sabo: Sorry. The next subject it's a though one to speak off.

Larch: Don't worry. Continue.

Sabo: SHE WAS TAKEN AWAY! A guy wearing glasses and a marine uniform appeared and took her away, i tried to fight him but i was destroyed. I even tried to use my devil fruit, but i couldn't do anything to him. So i disbanded my crew and rushed to the New World, it was then that i got caught in this fog and then Moria sneakily stole my shadow as i learn from the other victims of him that i couldn't get sunlight. Knowing this i tried to get it back, but every time i was outnumbered by Moria and his crew. As i was planning my plan of action against him, i saw Kuina walking in the forest, so i approached her and the rest they will tell you.

Larch: So i assume that you now have recovered your shadow?

Sabo: Yes, he used my shadow to create a special zombie known as Oars. So when that giant in your crew defeated him and sent it to the ocean, my shadow immediately returned to me.

Larch: You do realize that her being a world noble, you don't have the requirements to be her husband with the way the world is now.

Sabo: Yes i know that is why i wanted to ask you, brother, to help me. I know that the time of our childhood our strength didn't 'increase' much compared with the strength i gained the time i spent in the sea alone and with my crew. But i know that in that time you cared more about giving us a solid foundation allowing us to gain that power in the sea. So i wanted to be under your wing again, if it would be possible. I am not asking you to help against the world government or the marine, but i am just asking you to help gain strength again.

Larch: Sabo like i said earlier you are my brother and knowing your situation i will help any way i can with or without my crew. Now let's go inside the ship it's warmer inside and i guess you could use some rest.

Sabo: Aye brother.

The next day. On the deck of Pluton everyone was there, Larch, Kuina, Nojiko, Mars, Beth, Law, Sabo, Daisy, in Kuina arms, and Crocodile and Robin which all this time were in the jail of the ship rotting away.

Larch: Now everyone, i have gathered all of you to discuss our next course of action. Sabo will join our crew temporarily and we will release Crocodile and Robin as we no longer have any need for them.

As Larch finished speaking, he flicked his fingers as Crocodile and Robin were sent to a boat in the sea, that Larch had prepared previously beforehand.

Larch: As for us i was thinking of going off the radar from some time now. Nojiko 'recovered' her powers and i need time to learn how to control mine and another reason is that Daisy is still a baby and she will need to have some special cares.

Law: Captain where will we be staying in?

Larch: I have a place in my mind. But you don't have to worry about that, you should worry whenever you come out alive of this training or not.

As Larch said a dark smile appeared in his face, scaring his crew and Sabo, except for Daisy which was sleeping soundly in Kuina arms.

Sabo: "Ah this feeling. I kinda missed this. You just wait, i will take you back in no time."

Mars: "I will train my mind, as that situation doesn't happen again. If it wasn't for my sister i, probably, won't be standing here."

Beth: "Captain said that i could have the fruit i took from that lion guy. That it would suit me better than other fruit, but that it would be my decision to consume it or not. I will do it. I need to gain power to protect myself and Mars."

Kuina: "I couldn't do anything against Moria, Sabo did everything while i practically stood in the side and watched him fight with Moria. Larch-kun said that devil fruit is not the only of power, but i know that he has others powers beside swordsmanship and haki. NO! That is no reason to justify my weakness. I will strengthen myself with what i can, if he says that he recommends for me not to consume the fruit, then i will not. I will gain power another way."

Nojiko: "I gained my powers back. This months have been terrible, the only way for me to help the others and Larch-kun was by using Pluton. I hated that. I will be stronger, so strong that nothing will get again in my path of protecting them."

Law: "I need power to face and defeat Doflamingo, although it was short, but the time i spent with this guy, Larch, was useful as my mastery over my fruit progressed tremendously, but i need more strength if i want to avenge Corazon. And i think that i am beginning to become attached to this guys."

Larch: "In that fight against Letea, in her octopus form, i almost lost the control over my demon powers. Ace' execution is in 2 years and i am not even close to the strength i require to intervene in such events."
