"You've done enough for others in your life. From now on, I hope you can live for yourself, do what you want to do. Being selfish occasionally won't earn you any blame!"
Roland shook his head.
Again, a long moment of silence.
"I know what to do!"
Kuma smiled.
"Mr. Rollin, you are truly like a saint!"
"To be called a saint by a saint, that is truly an honor!"
Roland also smiled.
...
That afternoon.
A piece of news spread across the four seas with the combined efforts of various newspapers.
Shichibukai Tyrant Bartholomew Kuma announced his withdrawal from the Shichibukai!
As soon as the news broke, the sea, which had been calm for a short while, became turbulent once again.
Among them.
The Revolutionary Army was naturally the most excited about this news.
Baltigo, White Soil Island.
The Revolutionary Army's main base amidst the vast yellow sands.
"Wooooah!"
The excited shouts of the revolutionary soldiers echoed through the sky.
"This is great! This is really great!"
"Mr. Bear is free! Free from the Government's restraints!"
"I knew it, how could Mr. Bear, who hates the Government so much, keep working for them!"
"Kuma must have joined the Shichibukai for some secret mission!"
"Now that the mission is complete, there's no need to continue!"
"The backbone of our Revolutionary Army... is coming back!"
The cheers and shouts of those who didn't know the truth rose and fell, ceaselessly.
Revolutionary Army High-Level Conference Room.
"Dragon, this... will Mr. Bear come back?"
East Army Commander Belo Betty looked nervously at Dragon, the revolutionary leader, who was at the head of the table.
"Ah, definitely!"
Dragon, the Revolutionary Army leader, nodded firmly and solemnly, he had full confidence in Kuma.
"The wind of destiny has finally blown!!!"
...
...
East Blue.
Goa Kingdom.
Gray Terminal.
Approximately ten years ago.
This place was burned down due to the arrival of the Celestial Dragon, creating the Goa Kingdom's reputation as a beautiful town.
Ten years later, it has once again become the kingdom's garbage dump.
Various types of garbage are piled up, and a large number of bottom-level scavengers roam freely.
At this moment.
Somewhere in the garbage dump.
"Sabo, Sabo, look quickly, it's news about Kuma! Kuma has left the Shichibukai, this is great! This is really great!"
Koala, the revolutionary girl, cried tears of joy.
"Yes, this is truly great!"
Sabo, the young Revolutionary Army Chief of Staff, held a pipe he had scavenged from the garbage dump, tapping it around.
"Let's not waste any more time here. After we visit Koushirou, let's hurry back. Maybe we'll run into Kuma!"
Koala said excitedly and anxiously.
"Wait... just a little longer..."
Sabo said softly.
"Honestly, Sabo, what's wrong with you? You've been really strange these past two days. You said you had a headache in town, but you're completely at ease in this garbage dump..."
Koala put her hands on her hips, her face full of confusion.
"Just a little longer, there's one more place... just one last place... I remember it now..."
Sabo said, quickening his pace and running wildly in a certain direction.
"Wait for me~"
About fifteen minutes later.
Koala chased Sabo to a secret base on Colubo Mountain.
Sabo, the young Revolutionary Army Chief of Staff, stared blankly at the treehouse in front of him, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably.
"Sabo, why... are you crying!!!"
Koala's beautiful eyes widened in shock.
"Huh, what's wrong with me? I don't know why I'm crying? I just feel a sense of familiarity!"
Sabo wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, but they just kept flowing.
Just then.
Whoosh!
The sound of rushing wind rang out.
"Gum-Gum — Pistol!!!"
A boy's loud shout suddenly exploded.
A bullet-like fist shot through the forest.
Sabo raised his hand, easily catching the stretchable fist just as he had ten years ago.
"Damn it, you can actually block my attack, you've got some skill. Who are you? Why are you at my secret base!"
Nika, the boy wearing a Straw Hat, appeared in front of Sabo, on high alert.
"My name is Sabo. Is this your secret base alone?"
Sabo asked.
"Of course... Huh? Wait, who did you say you are? Sabo? Is it Sabo? Is it really Sabo?"
Coming to his senses belatedly, Luffy couldn't help but unleash a soul-stirring triple question.
Looking at Sabo's familiar face, Straw Hat Luffy's eyes instantly turned red.
He, who was usually face-blind, would absolutely never mistake his brother's face.
"Sabo! My brother! You really came back!"
Koala: "???"
Huh?
Huh, huh, huh!
This Straw Hat Boy is... Sabo's younger brother?
What a coincidence!
Coincidence?
No!
This is an effect triggered by the flapping of a butterfly's wings.
A series of chain reactions triggered by Roland's transmigration.
Regarding Kuina's resurrection, not only Zoro was shocked, but Dragon was also very surprised.
That's why Sabo and Koala came to the East Blue to investigate information about Roland.
It was precisely because of this that Sabo, by a strange twist of fate, came to Goa Kingdom.
He found this place by relying on scattered memories hidden in his mind.
Ultimately facilitating this reunion of brothers after many years!!!
