Traveler in the Pirate World

Long turned his head stiffly, ignoring Lily's strange look, and pointed to another taller and more muscular man outside the door and introduced him: "This is Bartholomew Xiong, one of my partners."

This guy is much taller than Ivankov, who is more than four meters tall. He wears a black and white spotted bear ear hat and is as burly as a giant bear. Is that why he is called a bear? Lily couldn't help thinking so.

However, looking at their giant bodies, Lily still called out to Dadan considerately: "Aunt Dadan, how about we have a party outside today?"

"Okay, Lily has the final say." Dadan agreed generously.

After arranging everyone to sit down, Lily lit a bonfire and started to cook a whole pig on the spot. The aroma filled the air immediately.

"I've always heard that Lily's cooking skills are very good, but this is the first time I've tasted it." Long Yi took a look at the steak in the bowl and said with a smile.

"Hehe, it's hard to imagine that food can be so delicious. This is simply art, girl!" Ivankov praised without any concealment.

"Well, it's delicious indeed!" Unlike his rough appearance, Xiong's voice was unusually gentle, which made Lily couldn't help but look up at him.

After the revelry, Dadan and the other bandits were completely drunk, lying on the grass and snoring. Ivankov also stopped his speech on transvestite, and sat side by side with Long and Xiong, looking at Lily and the other three who were still sober.

"So, Uncle Long didn't come here just to see Luffy and me, right?" Lily said, looking up at Long.

Long nodded without denying, "Yes, this time I came here not only to see you and Luffy, but also to find this little brother for something." As he said that, he turned and looked at Sabo.

There are many reasons why Dragon left the team and came here. One is to visit Luffy and the others, and let Ivankov and the others meet Lily and the other little ones.

The second reason was for Sabo. Long saw a lot in this noble boy who was born in this sick country. This boy had the courage to resist the world and a kind heart.

The third reason is to see the Celestial Dragons, whom the Revolutionary Army has always regarded as enemies, and to see the end of this farce in the Goa Kingdom.

"Me?" Sabo pointed at himself, confused, "What's the matter?"

"I would like to invite you to join the revolutionary army!" Long said frankly.

"Revolutionary Army, what is that? No way, I made an agreement with Luffy and the others to become pirates together." Sabo refused without hesitation.

Long ignored Sabo's refusal and stood up, inviting Sabo: "Can you talk to me alone? Just like a walk after dinner."

Sabo looked at Lily and Luffy beside him, and finally nodded, then walked towards the jungle path with Dragon.

That night, after Sabo came back, he didn't sleep all night. He stared in the direction of the waste terminal and remained in a daze until dawn.

He was not very focused during training and actually lost to Luffy, which was a rare occurrence. However, Luffy was not happy about it. Such a victory was not worth his happiness.

In his mind, the indifference of the nobles in Gaocheng District, the countless fires at the Waste Terminal, and the good times with Lily, Luffy, and Ace appeared alternately.

"Lily, what do you think we should do?" Sabo asked Lily, who was sitting beside him at the window, looking out at the sea.

"Don't you already have the answer?" Lily looked at him calmly, her smile as gentle as ever.

"But...but we agreed that I would become a pirate." Sabo grabbed his knees with both fists and said with trembling body. This made him feel like he was being betrayed.

Lily gently stroked his lowered head, her voice as gentle as the spring breeze, "Just do what you want to do. Compared to the agreement, we hope you can do what you want to do."

"But...but! I don't want to part with you so soon..." Sabo choked, his eyes blurred with tears, and he fell down uncontrollably, splashing tears on the wooden board.

He had thought countless times about escaping from that cold home and that indifferent country, but after experiencing what happened before, Sabo suddenly realized that he wanted to do something, but he didn't know what to do.

“I want to change this world. I want to make it fairer and more harmonious. I don’t want to see the endless repetition of such indifference to life. I want to do something for this world.

Maybe I will fail, but if I am with like-minded partners, I will not hesitate even if I fail or am labeled a sinner.

What's more, I don't think I will fail, because I believe that even if I don't succeed, someone who comes after me will definitely succeed. What do you think, juniors?"

Long's words were like the rising sun in the east, igniting the light of moving forward. At that moment, all the confusion disappeared. In fact, he already had the answer at that time.

"You're so shameless crying in front of Lily!" Ace's unromantic and mocking voice suddenly came.

"What do you care?" Sabo wiped his tears quickly like a cat with its fur standing on end, and roared at Ace, "I don't know who was the one who cried in front of Dadan?"

Hearing this, Ai Si's face immediately turned red, and then he stiffened his neck and shouted in anger: "I didn't, you are talking nonsense, I think you want to get beaten today!"

"Come on!" Sabo jumped, landed under the tree, and shouted to Ace.

"Come on, I'm not afraid of you!" Ace was not willing to be outdone.

Watching the two people wrestling with each other, Lily couldn't help but chuckle, and the sound drifted away with the rustling of the wind through the treetops.

After a long time, the two men fell to the ground with bruised faces and noses, gasping for breath.

"This is a lesson for you for breaking our agreement." Ace struggled to get up, stood on top of Sabo, and said unhappily, "After that, do what you want to do. We'll see you on the sea later."

Sabo was slightly stunned when he heard this, and finally grinned happily, "Thank you, Ace!"

"Where is Sabo going?" Luffy's voice sounded in their ears, making the two of them secretly think that something was wrong.

"Sabo, are you leaving?" Even the slow-witted Luffy noticed something and burst into tears.

After crying for a long time, Ace couldn't stand it anymore and punched him on the head, "Why are you crying? It's not like we won't see each other again. Men of the sea are never afraid of separation!"

……

That night, Sabo followed Long and was slapped away by the man called Bear, along with himself. Lily was surprised that the Meatball Fruit could be used in this way, but it was a pity that this fruit was not very compatible with her.

Before leaving, Lily gave Sabo a long sword called Kusanagi Sword, a weapon that had been upgraded by the system. It had extremely high strength and sharpness, and was almost impossible to be damaged by ordinary physical attacks. It also had the ability to perfectly transmit the user's power.

At the same time, she also gave Long the shadow mask that was useless to her. Although it was not the first time that Long saw Lily take out such a perverted item, he still couldn't help but marvel at it.

Such as the old man's Qing Ring and the silk gloves on his hands, which are immune to cold and heat, difficult to be hurt by swords, can absorb and store impact force, release it all at once, and enhance the wearer's physical recovery and self-healing abilities.

The most terrifying thing is that these weapons cannot be used by anyone except them. This is the result of his many practices.

Of course, Long could not have imagined that the props in the system space had designated attributes, and except for Lily, non-designated objects had no authority to use the items.

Long didn't plan to ask any more questions about this. Even if Lily had many secrets, she was still like his daughter.

In the next one or two months, Lily, Luffy and the others were a little uncomfortable with Sabo's absence.

Lily always prepares an extra set of tableware, Luffy always calls Sabo's name when he goes out, and when Ace is training, he always says "It's your turn, Sabo!"
