Sabo took a deep breath, choked with sobs, and smiled: "Yes. We agreed to become the freest people on the sea together!"

"Even if we can't see each other for a long time in the future, we are still the best..." After Ace said this, he paused and smiled casually, "Forget it. We are still best friends!"

He stretched out his fist towards Sabo and bumped into it. Luffy shouted, "There's me too!" He also stretched out his fist.

The fists of the three teenagers were pressed together. Tulip smiled and said, "Were you thinking about this just now?"

Ace was surprised to see Tulip hand a small wine bottle to him.

"Auntie..." He took the bottle.

Tulip took out three more small wine glasses and said proudly: "I always find you staring at my wine in a daze recently. I know what you are thinking."

She teased Ace, "After all, he is as delicate as a girl. Auntie, I know best what girls are thinking."

Rarely, Ace was not angry and gratefully opened the wine bottle and filled three wine glasses.

Sabo and Luffy watched Ace pour the wine. Ace looked at them and smiled: "Do you know? As long as you drink the 'bond wine', you will become brothers. I am Ace, the son of the 'devil'.

Are you willing to be brothers with me?"

Ace said, choked up for a while, tears appeared in his eyes, but he still smiled and raised one of the wine glasses, the wine sloshing around.

"..." Sabo smiled, picked up another wine glass, and suddenly said, "I, Sabo! I..."

He looked at his other hand, "I originally wanted to be a pirate, but I just wanted to be free on my own, because I only felt that I was not free... Now I don't understand, will poor people do it?"

Freedom, but I, the son of a noble, am not free either... Why is this? There must be more people like me, but they may eventually become like my parents, like those who know that this is a burning hell.

The same goes for the indifferent nobles... not to mention the ordinary people and poor people who don't even have the freedom to choose... I don't know what to do, so... I want to get on Uncle Dorag's boat...

…”

Sabo took a deep breath and finally figured out his thoughts. He raised his glass, looked at Ace and Luffy, grinned and said, "I want to do my part for the freedom of all mankind!!!"

The young man's voice echoed in the night sky filled with flames.

Ace was deeply touched, lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then murmured: "My father is the Pirate King..."

What the red-haired guy said echoed in his mind, about the wonderful and heroic half-life of the man named Roger. Originally, in Ace's heart, it was just a symbol called the devil formed from the hatred spoken by others.

, vaguely outlines a specific image.

"But I want to surpass him!" Ace raised his eyes, held up his wine glass, and said firmly, "I won't stop being a pirate just because of him. Whether I want to be a pirate or not is my decision, and it has nothing to do with him! -

I want to surpass him! Then, I want to prove that he is nothing great! He has been dead for a long time, don’t try to influence my life anymore! I... want to be the freest person and never regret it

Live!!!”

Tulip looked at the three teenagers and smiled softly.

In Luffy's eyes, Sabo and Ace both looked towards him.

He raised the glass with one hand, pressed the straw hat on his head with the other hand, and said with a smile: "I am very simple, I want to become the Pirate King!!!"

The three teenagers looked at each other, smiled, and raised their glasses together!

Ding……

"From today on, we are 'brothers'!"

The wine was sloshing gently, and in the blazing fire and under the night sky, the three young men smiled brightly.

…

Countless refugees who escaped from the sea of ​​​​fire rushed onto the boat. When the revolutionary army's boat was about to leave the shore, Dolag suddenly said: "Bear, Eva, wait a minute."

On the deck, both Eva and Big Bear stopped and looked back towards the shore. In the empty passages filled with fire on the left and right, a figure of a young man holding a broken water pipe walked quickly towards this side, waving his hands high.

He shouted, begging them to wait for him.

"Uncle! Take me away!!"

Sabo flew towards the ship and shouted with tears in his eyes, "Take me away!!!!"

Dolag smiled slightly and clenched his fists at the side of the boat.

…

The dragon boat of the Revolutionary Army slowly left the coast. Sabo looked back at the sea of ​​fire, the garbage mountain, Mount Colbo, the windmill village, and the Kingdom of Goa...

Goodbye, Goya!

Goodbye, Ace! Luffy! And Aunt Tulip...

One day, we will meet again!

Sabo had tears in his eyes, but his smile was bright. We will definitely see you again, one day, somewhere in the sea!

…

"do not Cry."

Ace turned around and said to Luffy angrily.

Luffy sobbed, "I'm not crying..."

As he walked, Ace said: "Saab has taken the first step on the road to his dream, and we can't fall behind! Cheer up!"

He smiled slightly, looked at Luffy, held down the latter's straw hat, "...brother."

Tulip pointedly said from the side: "Luffy's father should teach Sabo for me... His skills are indeed more suitable for Sabo! If you two lose to Sabo in the future..."

Ace and Luffy both froze.

Ace said hurriedly: "No way! I'm the eldest brother, how could I lose to that guy?"

"Hey, are you the biggest?" Luffy was surprised, "Sabo is so gentle, I thought he was the biggest..."

"What does tenderness have to do with age?!" Ace said angrily, "And am I not good?"

The two brothers were noisy all the way, and the wind blew away. Tulip waved her hand and looked at the sea of ​​fire and the shadow of the boat gradually receding on the sea in the distance, and smiled slightly.

…………………………

The sea of ​​fire burns the mountain, like falling into hell...

A big book with such a cover lies quietly on a broad white cloud.

Baiyun was flying high in the sky at high speed. He was actually wearing a childlike peaked cap and had a human-like facial features, but his face looked lazy and listless. He muttered: "How far is it?"
