The Terrifying Three Brothers (Part 2)
On the screen, puzzled comments immediately appeared: {Hey! Who exactly is that mysterious person who appeared in front of Straw Hat Luffy? What could possibly make him so excited?}
{Since Straw Hat Luffy so readily entrusted his adoptive brother's heirloom— the Flame-Flame Fruit —to that mysterious person, what kind of magic does that person possess?!}
What's the meaning of these three wine glasses? Could it be that this mysterious person is connected to alcohol?
{Holy crap! Just announce it already! God from Beyond the Domain, stop keeping me in suspense! I'm dying of curiosity!}

East Blue, Goa Kingdom, Foosha Village, Makino's Bar.
"Three wine glasses? Could it be..." Makino covered her mouth, her face full of excitement.
Mount Colubo, Bandit's House.
Three wine glasses? Could it be... Sabo?
"It should be... it should be! Otherwise, Luffy wouldn't be so excited."
"I wouldn't feel comfortable handing over Ace's Flame-Flame Fruit to him either."
"That's... that's great! Sabo, he's not dead, that's wonderful!"
"Yeah! Hey! Boss, what's wrong? Why don't you seem happy?"
The subordinates looked at Dadan, whose face was grim, and asked...
Upon hearing this, Dadan gritted her teeth and said, "What am I happy about! That damned bastard, he's been missing for so many years and hasn't even let us know he's safe. It's infuriating! Waaah, thank goodness! Sabo is still alive."
She couldn't keep up the act any longer, and tears streamed down her face like a burst dam.
After a while, she stopped crying and said to her subordinates, "Go! Go get our belongings. I want to send a barrage of messages to Luffy, Sabo, and Ace."
"Yes, boss!"
The Grand Line, a certain sea area, a certain ship.
"Sa... Sabo- kun, it's... it's you!" Koala exclaimed in surprise.
"I understand!" Sabo said with a calm smile. "I was originally planning to give Luffy and Ace a little surprise, but it seems that's all for now! This God from Beyond the Domain, sometimes, really knows how to ruin things! Oh! By the way!"
At this point, a hint of embarrassment crept into his voice as he turned to Koala and asked, "Um... Koala, how many Beli do you have left? Can you lend me some? I want to send a comment to Luffy and Ace."
"Ah! Oh! Let me see." Koala paused, then opened her wallet and began counting.
Marine Headquarters, Marineford, Dog-Head Warship.
"Those... those three wine glasses aren't... Ace, it seems Sabo is still alive!" Garp said excitedly to Ace beside him.
"I already knew that!" Ace said with a calm smile.
"Ah?!"
The Grand Line, somewhere in the sea, the Thousand Sunny.
"Those three wine glasses are... no, impossible, he... he can't possibly still be alive, but besides him, there can't be anyone else, hahaha." Luffy cried first, then laughed, and then shouted to Nami, who was staring at him with a blank expression, "Nami, lend me some Beli, I want to send a comment."
"Ah?!"
On the other side, as the wine and glass disappeared from the video footage, the camera shifted back to the Corrida Colosseum not long ago.
After the mysterious man took off his hat, he revealed his true appearance: he had wavy blond hair and a burn scar on his left eye.
"Long time no see!" he said, his voice trembling with emotion. "It's me! Luffy."
"Who am I?" Luffy said nonchalantly. "Listen carefully! The Flame-Flame Fruit is Ace's legacy. If you want it, you're an enemy."
At this point, he didn't forget to correct him, "Also, you just called me Luffy, my name is Lucy, look at this beard!" As he spoke, he reached out and tugged at his beard.
To everyone's surprise, the man wasn't angry at all. Instead, he smiled and said, "You were just disguised! I'm not so bad as to not recognize my own brother!"
"Brother?" Luffy frowned, angrily saying, "You need to understand, the only people who can call me brother Ace, who is already dead, and those who died even earlier... those who died..."
As he finished speaking, he seemed to remember something, and tears involuntarily streamed down his face, his eyes widening as big as a bull's.
He was immediately sent flying backward, crashing into a pillar, shouting, "Sa... Sabo."
But the next second, he got up from the ground, exclaiming in surprise, "No, this isn't real."
"We even drank together after we stole Dadan's wine before!" Sabo said with a laugh.
Upon hearing this, Luffy burst into tears and cried out, "Sabo!"
Immediately afterward, his arms stretched out and he hugged Sabo tightly, wailing, "What happened? Where did you go? I thought you were dead!"
Upon hearing this, Sabo struggled to pull his head out of Luffy's embrace and said, "Thank you! Luffy, I'm so glad you're still alive!"
"But... Sabo, Ace... he was killed right before my eyes!" Luffy in anguish.
"Yes! Ace may be dead, but you're still here. Thank goodness you survived." Sabo held back his tears, letting Luffy's tears fall onto his face, and said, "I almost lost two brothers before I even had a chance to do anything!"
"If you die too, then I'll be all alone!"
"Thank you so much for surviving, Luffy. Can I eat Ace's Flame-Flame Fruit?" Sabo asked.
At this point, Sabo's character introduction appeared. "Sibling of the Straw Hat Luffy Pirates, Chief of Staff the Revolutionary Army — Sabo."
"Yes!" Luffy nodded emphatically and said, "That would be best, that's the right way."
