53: Chapter 53: Recognizing Sabo! The three brothers drank and talked happily"I remember!I remember everything!Ace and Luffy are my sworn brothers!" Sabo fell to the ground with tears streaming down his face.
Beside Sabo, his fellow Revolutionary Army members looked at each other, undecided.
"Don't worry, even if Sabo really recognizes us, we will fully respect his choice and decision and will not take Sabo away." Luffy walked forward and said calmly.
The revolutionary army finally breathed a sigh of relief.If they had lost the second-in-command of the revolutionary army when they came to see one person, they would have no way to report to the emperor!
"Sabo, are you feeling better?We're sorry that we chose this method to stimulate your memory recovery, but there won't be a better way in a short period of time.We can't wait until we regret it and realize that we still have relatives." Luffy patted Sabo's shoulder.
Sabo stood up, shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Luffy, Ace, it's been so many years and I'm finally remembering the past!"
Ace hurriedly said, "That's not true, Sabo!I thought you had already.If anyone wants to apologize, I should be the one to do it!I've caused you so much trouble!"
Everyone came to a guest room.Except for the three brothers, everyone else was tactful and left the space for the three brothers who had reunited after a long separation.
Ace: "Sabo, how have you been getting through all these years?"
"I have been learning from Mr.Long since I encountered the shipwreck.I have grown up in the Revolutionary Army for many years.Ace, I am now the chief of staff of the Revolutionary Army.My title is no less important than yours as the captain of the second division of the Whitebeard Pirates!" Sabo calmed down after his excitement and said cheerfully.
"I see.What about Luffy?I heard that you founded an organization called the Straw Hat Adventure Group.Are you not going to be a pirate anymore?" Ace also asked Luffy at this time.
"Ah, the Straw Hat Adventure Group I founded are not pirates, although I don't care what others think.I go to sea just for adventure, to eliminate the evil pirates, and then change the world!" Luffy replied.
"Change the world?Then you should join the Revolutionary Army!Luffy, join us!Work with me, and one day Mary Geoise will raise our flag!" Sabo became excited.
Luffy waved his hand and said, "I will not join any organizational structure.The nature of my adventure group is also different from that of the Revolutionary Army.We will talk about this later."
Sabo thought for a moment, "Is that so?Then I won't force you to do anything!"
"Ace, how do you feel after fighting with me?" Luffy asked.
"You are so strong!Luffy, my chest still hurts!" said Ace.
"This is the price you pay for not paying attention to physical skills and Haki training on a daily basis.I think whether in the Whitebeard Pirates or the Revolutionary Army, there must be systematic training methods for Haki.I can feel that Sabo has a certain level of Haki cultivation, but you.it's really hard to describe!" Luffy said helplessly.
"You didn't even practice the physical skills that Grandpa Garp taught you when you were a child, otherwise you wouldn't have been defeated so badly.With your current strength, even if you use the power of your fruit, you are still the weakest in my team." Luffy sighed.
Ace laughed, "After eating the Flame-Flame Fruit, I'm hard to beat on the Grand Line.Even in the New World, there are only a handful of people who can keep me.But who would have thought that you, as a younger brother, would actually be ahead of us, the older brothers."
Sabo's eyes widened in surprise."Did you eat the natural Flame-Flame Fruit?You're truly blessed.No wonder you don't have any foundation in physical skills!"
"Ahaha, speaking of which, how should I practice this Haki?Isn't it a bit late for me to start practicing it now?" Ace touched his head awkwardly, his fist barely covered with a layer of red and black armed color Haki.
"It's never too late to become stronger as long as you work hard!" said Sabo.
Indeed, while Ace had some basic Haki in the White Pirates, it was completely unremarkable.Currently, Ace's strength was at best roughly equivalent to Smoker, whom he encountered two years later in Punk Hazard.This was evident from the previous battle.Even his already awakened Conqueror Haki had barely improved, remaining limited to indiscriminately clearing out minions.
Luffy: "Ace, aren't you going to chase Blackbeard?With your current level, if you encounter Blackbeard's [Dark Dark Fruit] that can restrain his fruit ability, you will be slaughtered.So, I have to help you raise the level of your Haki and Taijutsu first!"
"Ace is going to chase Blackbeard?" Sabo was shocked.
"Yeah, that's right." Ace then repeated his experience in the Whitebeard Pirates to Sabo.
"I see.So now Ace and Blackbeard are mortal enemies, but Ace still can't beat Blackbeard, right?" Sabo quickly understood the current situation.
"Uh, yes."
"So, you said you want to help Ace improve himself and defeat Blackbeard, but how?" Sabo asked.
"My devil fruit ability can help others speed up their training.As long as you accept it, Ace, I can help you!" Luffy said quickly.
"It actually has such a magical ability, why not try it right away!" Sabo's eyes lit up.
Luffy: "Okay!Sabo, come too!"
"Ding—I increased Ace and Sabo's Taijutsu and Dual-Color Haki training speed by 100 times for one year.Transformation Points -2000, with 5000 Transformation Points remaining."

"Alright, now we've helped you in every way we can, Ace.No matter when you meet Blackbeard next time, remember to prioritize your own safety.Even if you get caught, we and Grandpa Garp are still here for you.Don't be stubborn!" Luffy warned Ace."And the same goes for Sabo.Don't be stubborn.Even if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up.Just be good in the Revolutionary Army!"
"Of course!" Sabo replied.
So, after Ace gained a lot from his trip to Alabasta, he continued on his journey.
"By the way, Luffy, the original purpose of our meeting was to talk about the current situation in Alabasta, right?" Sabo asked.
"Yes, Sabo, I'm going to tell you this next!" Luffy smiled mysteriously.
