Chapter 1417 Ace, Sabo, and Luffy
The appearance of Sabo and Gardino undoubtedly added another layer of variables to the battle situation. These two people belong to different camps, one is a senior member of the Revolutionary Army, and the other is a senior cadre of the Joker Pirates.
"Will Dragon lead the Revolutionary Army into the war? Or is this Sabo's personal wish..."
Zhan Guo had already obtained new intelligence seized by the intelligence department in advance, which showed that the large forces of the revolutionary army had no intention of moving towards Marinford.
If all this is not a trick, and Sabo is the only one joining the battlefield, it is estimated that he will not cause much trouble.
The Joker Pirates only sent Gardino, which was the best outcome for the Navy. Like Buggy and other former crew members of Roger's Pirates, they did not want to fall into danger by saving the captain's son.
Garp on the city wall shifted his attention from his grandson to the port. The image of the grown-up Sabo became clearer and clearer.
"Fate really played a joke on these three children," Garp observed the scar at the corner of Sabo's eye, probably caused by the Celestial Dragons' artillery fire.
Sabo raised his head confidently and first looked into Grandpa Garp's eyes. His memory had been completely restored. He remembered that when he was a child, he and his two other brothers were naughty and were taught a lesson by Garp's iron fist.
Although Sabo was born into a noble family, his biological parents only treated their son as a tool and wanted Sabo to cling to the royal family and achieve wealth and glory for the family.
The nobles and royal families all have the same character. They treat the lower classes as non-human beings. For the sake of their own reputation and face, they burn down garbage dumps without caring about the lives of the poor.
Sabo doesn't like living in an aristocratic environment. He doesn't want to be a cannibal like other nobles. He has had a fair and kind heart since he was a child and is destined to become a young noble who betrays his class!
"Grandpa Garp, you have a lot more white hair over the years, and none of your grandchildren are worry-free," Sabo couldn't help but teasing himself and his other two brothers.
"Just go ahead and do what you want. Dragon is not dead yet. You can't represent the Revolutionary Army yet. Bring Luffy back."
Gardino's words prove the attitude of the Joker Pirates. Ace's life and death are not taken into consideration. Anyone can die in the battle of Marineford, but Luffy must survive.
Sabo turned around and looked at Gardino beside him. He had just met the third brother and didn't know the candle man's previous personality. Could it be that he was so unkind before?
His words were cold and he only cared about the orders given to him by Buggy. The life and death of other people were insignificant to him. The same went for Sabo, who was just a useful tool.
The jet-black speedboat rushed into the chaotic harbor, knocking the pirate ships on both sides to the ground, and entered Marinford with the flag of the Joker Pirates.
The coastal defense guns continued to roar, and the shells, trailing red light, hit the side of the black ship, but sparks flew off the thick armor plates.
The hull trembled slightly, but the two figures on the deck did not move at all. Sabo and Gardino followed the ship forward under the gunfire.
The black ship broke through the last line of fire, and the bottom of the ship made a harsh friction sound as it scraped against the rocks on the shallows. It was like a wounded giant beast that ran aground and rushed into the heart of Marinford.
The instantaneous speed of the black ship was too fast, and the defending navy had no time to stop it. They could only watch as Sabo and Gardino set foot on the land of Marinford.
Other pirate ships were not so lucky. Many pirates wanted to jump ashore, but eventually they sank into the sea with their ships amid the sound of gunfire.
Ace was kneeling on the execution platform. He was one of the people with the best vision on the battlefield. When he saw the black ship docking, a familiar yet unfamiliar face came down from the ship.
"Saab"? !
Before the sky curtain appeared, Ace always thought that Sabo died in the bombardment and regretted not spending more time with his brother. Unexpectedly, his brother came back to life one day and became a revolutionary soldier.
The moment Sabo set foot on Marinford, the salty sea breeze carrying the smell of gunpowder blew on his face, and the veins on his clenched fists bulged.
The figure on the execution platform, bound by seastone shackles, was clearly wearing prison clothes and covered in bruises, but the lines of his profile still showed the stubborn look in my memory.
That was Ace, the boy who should have been on the treetops in Windmill Village, eating fruit and talking about dreams. But now he was kneeling on the cold guillotine, and the countdown bell of his life was like a heavy hammer hitting his already broken heart.
My sight was suddenly torn apart by the chaos in the center of the square. The figure in the straw hat was rushing left and right in the navy formation, and the corners of his red vest were lifted by the artillery fire, like a flag that would never fall.
Luffy's fist smashed the steel shield, and his rubber arms drew a decisive arc in the air. Every shout penetrated the noise of the battlefield, and more and more navy gathered around Luffy.
Sabo's pupils suddenly contracted, and his reckless look was exactly the same as the fool who stole honey without protection when he was a child.
"It's not too late today, don't leave any regrets for yourself." His nails dug deep into his palms, and the taste of blood spread on the tip of his tongue.
Sabo had thought he had lost everything, stripped of his name and past in the shipwreck, but the pain of the emotional connection now felt so real.
Sabo felt like a red-hot iron was stuck in his throat, "Ace, I'm here to save you--!!!"
A hoarse cry suddenly broke through the chest, like the first eruption of a dormant volcano. The name that he had held on to tightly in the pain of recovering his memory, now carried the smell of blood and the salty taste of sea water, tearing the sky of Marinford.
He saw the people on the execution platform seemed to pause slightly, and the tears on Ace's face could no longer be stopped. He was not like a man at all. He cried like a tearful man after meeting someone again after a long separation.
The straw hat boy who was charging in the midst of swords and sabers suddenly felt his back shaken, and he heard the familiar voice in his memory.
Luffy knocked the marine next to him to the ground, turned his head to look at the shore not far away, and saw a figure in his memory being magnified in proportion in his eyes, "Sabo? It's really you"!
Hearing Luffy's loud cry, Sabo raised his hand to reply Luffy, calling Luffy's name.
Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionary Army, did not mention his own children in the Revolutionary Army, which resulted in Sabo not recovering his memory for long. If he had known earlier that Luffy was Dragon's child, Sabo would have recovered his memory long ago.
It is really a touching brotherhood. The three little ones have been playing together since they were young. They are together in happiness and in hard times. They have unforgettable and profound memories with each other.
Now the three brothers have the opportunity to be on the same battlefield, and no one wants to leave any regrets.
Ace had already lost all hope and didn't want to cause more innocent lives to die for him. The moment Sabo appeared, he injected new life into his dead heart.
Ace doesn't want to die yet. He wants to continue drinking and chatting with his brothers and continue to enjoy a carefree and happy life.
Why should Ace accept the ending imposed on him by the navy?
