Chapter 159 Sabo's Letter

Bahn has already left, and no one has seen him since the great war, neither his former apprentice nor Drago, as if the world has evaporated, and any news about him has suddenly disappeared in this world. Naturally, only he knows about Bahn, and now he is drifting on the sea. Ah, to put it bluntly, he is running for his life. Well, yes, he is running for his life. The Fugitive'.

And Ace, Jiger, and Luffy have returned to Mount Korpo, the home of the bandit Dadan. Dadan’s injuries have healed in sevens and eighties, and he has regained his former tough big sister demeanor. Jiger seems to have lost his soul these days, and he is in a daze all day long. Ace and Luffy are also very sluggish.

"This is Sabo's letter."

Dogula said to Ace and the others, who were a little depressed, and at the same time took out a letter from his arms.

Perhaps it was Dogula's words that aroused the interest of Ace and the others. Even Jiger, who had been sluggish, had a little light in his eyes.

"From Sabo?"

Ace snatched the letter from Dogula's hand, glanced at the date on it and said.

"He sent it before he went to sea."

Ace walked out of Dadan's room while opening the letter in his hand.

Jiger and Luffy also followed.

Ace looked at the letter in his hand and read it slowly.

"Ace, Jiger, Luffy: I don't know if you were injured in the fire? Although I am worried, I believe that you will be fine."

"I'm sorry! When you read this letter, I should already be at sea, because a lot of things happened, so I decided to go to sea before you."

"The destination is... somewhere far away from this country, where I will become stronger and become a pirate! Become a pirate who is freer than anyone else, and then the four of us will meet again!"

"On the vast and free sea, we will definitely meet again!"

"Also, Ace, who is the elder brother, me or you? Three older brothers and one younger brother. Although it is a bit strange, this family relationship is my treasure."

"I'm not worried about Jiger, he's as strong as a monster, but Luffy is weak and cries a lot, but he's our younger brother, so I'll leave it to you guys."

After reading the letter, the letter paper filled with immature fonts slowly slipped from Ace's hands, but Ace's footsteps did not stop, and he continued to walk forward like a walking dead.

Jiger, who was following him, picked up the letter and read it with tears in his eyes.

Almost at the same time, Jiger and Ace let out loud cries at the same time.

"Sabo!"

Only Luffy, still looking like a curious baby, pulled the clothes of Ace and Jiger who were crying bitterly and asked.

"What did Sabo write?"

But Ace and Jiger didn't immediately explain the content of the letter to Luffy, but pulled him up and cried together.

Jiger finally told Luffy the content of the letter, but after knowing it, Luffy cried the most out of the three. Ace and Jiger had already calmed down. Jiger was sitting on the ground, while Ace was standing on the shore. Their eyes were all on the sea. Only Luffy was still lying on the ground, holding the straw hat on his head tightly with his two small hands, trying to hide himself under it, and weeping from time to time.

"Ugh..."

Luffy's cry came again from under the straw hat, but Ace punched him hard on the back of the head.

"How long are you going to maintain this virtue?"

Ace hugged his hands, the tears on his face hadn't been wiped clean, but his eyes facing the sea were full of determination.

Jiger was right next to Luffy, and when he saw Luffy being beaten, he put his hands on Luffy's head and said, although his eyes were still a little red.

"Yeah, don't cry, Luffy, Sabo must not want to see you like this."

But at this time, only Ace said.

"All the treasures hidden in the central forest were burned, and Sabo couldn't use them in the end, so I don't care anymore..."

"There is no way, and it is useless to accumulate the preserved treasures."

Ace kept his eyes fixed on the sea, and said lightly.

And at this time, Luffy, who had been crying, said in a hoarse voice that was already crying.

"Jig...Ace...I..."

"... want! Become stronger!"

"Get stronger! Stronger! Stronger! Stronger! Stronger! Stronger! Stronger! Stronger! Stronger!"

"Stronger!"

"In this way... no matter what can be protected... no matter who, no one will leave..."

"I beg you...Ace, Jiger, you must not die...I don't want to feel lonely anymore..."

Luffy cried and said, but Jiger, who was sitting next to him, laughed when he heard his words.

"Haha, hahahaha!"

But with a smile, the already red eyes became moist again.

And Ace punched Luffy again.

"What nonsense are you talking about! Compared with me and Jiger, you should worry about yourself first, you are much weaker than us!"

"Luffy, listen to me! Neither me nor Jiger will die!"

"……Um……"

Luffy answered with sobs, and Jiger also laughed when he saw Ace standing on the bank looking like a little adult.

"We still shoulder the entrustment of Sabo, I will defeat you! I will never die!"

"Leaving a cowardly brother like you in this world, I can't die with peace of mind!"

Ace said.

Jiger also looked at Luffy and said.

"Yeah, Luffy, I promise you too, I will definitely not die."

"Uh-huh……"

Just listen to Ace continue.

"My brain is not good, so whether Sabo died in the hands of the Tianlong who was killed by Bahn or this world, I haven't figured it out yet, but it must be something opposite to freedom. Sabo died before he was free."

"But, we who drank the sworn wine with him are still alive!"

"So, Luffy, we must live without complaint or regret!"

"……Um!"

And Jiger seemed to be moved by Ace's words, and stood up, like Ace, turned his purple eyes to the magnificent sea, and said.

"One day, we will sail out to sea! Live our own lives as we please, more free than anyone else! But we will definitely be enemies with many people, even grandpa will become our enemies, either life or death!"

Jiger said this, and Ace continued.

"However, no matter what, we have to become pirates!"

"17 years old! Set sail!"

"Ok!"

Luffy nodded vigorously in agreement.
