25. Monkey D. Dragon

After the hug Sabo just looked at Ken with big eyes and then he calmed down slowly. The head of the revolutionary army was the father of Luffy. And Ace thought he had a bad father !!!

But it didn't matter.

This was his calling. He had read about them before in the newspapers. He had been warned too about it by his father about this group. At that time it didn't matter to him. But now when Ken had talked about it, it seemed to Sabo that he wanted to do this for a long time.

Plus from the looks of it, this army was hiding in the dark and was proficient in espionage and spy work in addition to having a huge amount of power in their hands. He had Danzo's character so he was perfect in this role.

After saying goodbye he jumped down the cliff on the sea surface and made a run for it.He was running straight to the ship which was taking in the people who had survived the 'burnt incident' of the Gray Terminal.

Ken just looked at Sabo and had a little tears in his eyes. All these days they had been living and having fun together. In his past life he was a great fan of many One Piece characters. But seeing them up close and interacting with them made him feel that these people were really a part of the family.

A family that was not bound by blood.

Luffy had tears flowing from his eyes. Ace had a sombre look on his face and he was a little angry with Ken. They had just sent Sabo away. They could have easily grown up here and become strong but no!!

"Did he really need to go?" Ace asked.

"If he doesn't go now, it might be late in the future. Their headquarters are very secretive and nobody can find them. This is one of the few places that I know that they might show up and we all know Sabo had been thinking about this for sometime now. He wanted to change the world. It was better that he makes his own force and the Revolutionary Army is the best chance." Ken said.

"I am here to join the army. I lived in Gray terminal too."

"What a lie!! But the good thing is he seems to be interested in you. Come with me." The man was of course Emporio Ivankov who had come with Dragon to take away the people who were 'rejected' by the Goa Kingdom. Sabo didn't reject and just followed 'him'.

Ivankov took Sabo to the person who Ken had hinted.

Monkey D. Dragon.

Sabo finally got to see the person. The most vicious criminal known to the world. He had seen the name once in wanted posters. He looked as menacing as he seemed in the posters. His face was as serious as Sabo had imagined.

"Do I need to be serious like him to lead the people to light?" Sabo thought.

Dragon just looked at the far kingdom as the ship sailed and he didn't seem to be affected that Sabo and Ivankov had come by his side. After a few seconds he asked

"Where are you truly from kid?"

"I am a born noble but I hated my life living as one. So I escaped from home and lived in Gray Terminal. And now since you took people from here, I joined you. Fearing you will not take me, I hid" Sabo lied. He didn't know how to speak the truth so he needed to make up a false story, though it wasn't exactly false.

"I see some degree of truth in your words. But you weren't exactly affected by the fire. Were you? I saw you running on water."Thê source of this content n/o/v/(el)bi((n))
