Chapter 422 – Finally Reuniting with Sabo!

    [Chapter Size: 2000 Words.]

    Third Person POV

    New Word.

    ...

    ...

    Everyone in Dressrosa had their heads lifted as the enormous islands approached the kingdom. It quickly made the common people step back, witnessing a scene they had never seen before; not even Fujitora''s meteors could compare to islands approaching the kingdom.

    Bepo swiftly began directing the islands like Little Garden, Amazon Lily, and Shiki''s islands around Dressrosa, while Skypiea would remain 10,000 feet away.

    Everyone could only keep their eyes on the islands descending from the sky. "So that''s what Luffy went to do... that''s truly astonishing..." Sapo commented from a corner of the city as his companions watched with their mouths agape.

    Rebecca, with her family, watched the grand spectacle, while her grandfather was speechless, and her aunt equally surprised. Only she and her father already knew something like this would happen. They too, since Luffy had warned them, but they never imagined such a scenario would truly unfold.

    Most of the Straw Hats just observed with calm eyes, as Luffy had made it very clear that this would happen, but the sight of islands flying across the sky and descending was still incredible to some.

    Jinbei turned his gaze away from the islands while all of Luffy''s guests at the port watched in shock, as he went to receive them, per Luffy''s request, to organize their arrival.

    "What is this?!" Cavendish, trapped on the ship, looked on in astonishment, watching the scene from a distance.

    "Looks like we''ll all be reunited again," Usopp commented, watching Bepo do his job from afar.

    "Attention, command! We''re observing Dressrosa from a distance... islands falling from the sky!!" Near those waters, a group of marine ships was gathered, watching the scene as they relayed the information back to command.

    On those ships were several ranks, even vice-admirals, called to these waters after the navy''s disastrous operation to capture one of the Straw Hats. Now they had to wait for major reinforcements to arrive to negotiate with the Yonko, who had made Dressrosa their current headquarters.

    "What did you say?!" Akainu slammed the table in anger while on a call with the World Government at the same time. Hearing about Amazon Lily frustrated him, still remembering the episode when he went after the island and was made a fool by his enemies, a humiliating experience for him when he found out the island had been removed.

    "So, as we suspected... they removed Amazon Lily using the Fuwa Fuwa no Mi. We shouldn''t be surprised by this. The disappearance of Little Garden was also caused by that fruit... and we were still investigating why the island suddenly vanished..." the voice of the elders was heard.

    "..." Akainu couldn''t say anything other than remain frustrated and command his marines to succeed in this mission, which was more of a negotiation than an actual confrontation. After all, the navy was in a critical position, with one admiral injured and two captured by the enemy, even if one was retired.

    Meanwhile, the islands continued descending, lifting the sea as they struck the waters, beginning to stabilize after some small tsunamis caused by their additional weight in the ocean. Gran Tesoro seemed small as, on all its sides, the islands started to stabilize.

    "Well... we''re finally back..." Luffy said with a smile in the Kuja Palace. He had asked the people of Skypiea to keep the island in the sky, as there was no point in having a sky island on the ground. But that didn''t stop his people from coming to the location, either traveling by bubbles or using Geppo, as some of his people had been training for a year and months since Luffy had arrived to stop Enel back then.

    "Shall we go there, Luffy?" Hancock asked in a loving tone, approaching his side.

    "I wanted to wait for the Black Pearl to arrive first. After all, the ship is our home, but since it''s still out of sight... it''s better we head there now. Can you take our children on a ship? I''ll be taking care of a few things before joining you," Luffy requested, and Hancock nodded.

    He then leaped into the air, not failing to notice someone watching him—his lover Margareth with a snake coiled around her neck. Clearly, he hadn''t paid much attention to her or Laki, from the Shandians, in the past few days, but he would resolve that later.

    All Luffy could think about now was seeing his beloved brother after so many years, while he continued moving forward, ignoring everyone else as he headed toward one side of the city, already tracking him with his Haki.

    "..." Sabo simply smiled as he looked up at the sky, seeing someone advancing toward him at high speed.

    Landing in front of him, Koala and Hack became slightly alert. As a shadow approached them, Sabo walked forward with a smile.

    "Sabo..." Luffy''s voice emerged from the smoke, rushing toward him.

    "Luffy!" Sabo said, also moving toward Luffy.

    Both walked toward each other, closing the distance with a joyful smile on their faces until they finally met in a warm embrace, while Koala and Hack watched the sudden reunion unfold.

    Sabo, though confused by the mention of Lucy''s fruit, didn''t ask about it. He just stared at the fruit in his hands, making a decision.

    "Alright then." Sabo didn''t think twice. This was a way to further increase his strength, and he trusted Luffy with his life. If Luffy said this fruit was for him, Sabo wouldn''t hesitate to accept it.

    In the end, Luffy nodded and simply smiled, watching as Sabo ate piece by piece, grimacing in disgust as if he wanted to vomit.

    "Congratulations, brother. Now you''re an Eikon like us," Luffy said with an even bigger smile. "Anyway, there''s one thing you didn''t know... you''re going to go crazy during your first full transformation..."

    "I''m going to go crazy?" Sabo looked at Luffy, surprised.

    "Yes, but I have a method to prevent that, one I used on my entire crew. You just need to transform into your beast. I think this island can be used for that if you want to do it now..." Luffy suggested.

    Still confused, Sabo asked, "And what method is that, Luffy?" He sensed something wasn''t right, while Luffy opened a mischievous smile.

    "Well... I plan to beat you up," Luffy said.
