Today's Blue Sea
Baldo, this is one of the headquarters of the Revolutionary Army.
It is said to be one of them because the Revolutionary Army has many headquarters.
Unfortunately, the World Government has intensified its pursuit of the Revolutionary Army since four years ago, making life very difficult, so they have no choice but to be cautious.
Today, the entire island of Baldo is bustling with activity.
Sabo and Dragon stood together on the desolate shore outside the buildings on Baldo Island.
This island is called the Isle of White Soil because it is just a barren wasteland with nothing on it.
With no plants and no resources, virtually no one would come here, which is why it was chosen as a base for the Revolutionary Army.
"Mr. Dragon, is it really the Sirius Pirates?"
Sabo gazed silently at the sky, a hint of disbelief still lingering in his voice, "It's truly unbelievable that they've vanished without a trace for four years."
It might be a sting call from the government! They're pretending to Sirius Pirates, just trying to find out their whereabouts.
"Some people's voices, once you've heard them just once, you should know that they are absolutely impossible to imitate."
Dragon had a smile on his face.
Sabo seemed to understand, but not quite.
Perhaps this is what friendship is.
It's really hard to imagine that the Revolutionary Army could become friends with a group of pirates.
The two didn't have to wait long before a black dot suddenly appeared in the sky.
Dragon's expression instantly brightened, and his eyes seemed to sparkle.
"They're here!"
The moment he finished speaking, the black dot approached like Inazuma, and in the blink of an eye, it was already hovering in the sky.
The transition from high-speed forward movement to a state of complete cessation took only a moment, and the power it carried seemed to vanish without a trace.
"Sirius!"
Although the ship has changed somewhat since four years ago, Sabo still recognized the mark painted on both sides of its body at a glance!
The Twin Wolves heads roaring to the left and right are undoubtedly the mark of the Sirius Pirates, and this ship is the Sirius!
The Sirius Pirates are really back!
The large ship, hundreds of meters long, slowly descended and landed on the shore of Baldo.
"Long time no see, Dragon."
Then, accompanied by laughter, a group of people flew over from the ship.
Wait, fly?
Sabo stared in astonishment. They hadn't used Geppo; these people had genuinely flown over!
It's as if they've ignored gravity.
Sirius and his companions landed in front of Dragon and his companion.
He opened his arms wide. "Won't you give me a long-awaited hug?"
"Forget it,"
Dragon chuckled, then glanced at Yamato standing next to Sirius. "Save the hugs for Yamato."
Yamato chuckled.
Dragon extended his hand to Sirius. "Welcome back."
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
Sirius took his hand.
Later, a banquet was held in the dining hall of the Baldo Revolutionary Army's office building to welcome Sirius and his gang.
"All supplies have to be transported from outside, so the quantities are not plentiful. Please bear with us."
Dragon laughed and said, "But I'm quite confident in the taste."
"Fantastic!"
Sirius took a deep breath, the rich aroma filling his nostrils instantly. At that moment, he was even a little moved. "This is the smell! How nostalgic, the smell of the Blue Sea."
"Mmm!"
Yamato nodded repeatedly, his mouth watering. "It's been so long since I've had food from the Blue Sea!"
"Haven't had food from the Blue Sea in a long time?"
Sabo was completely stunned.
What does this mean? Does it mean they haven't been in the Blue Sea for the past few years?
"Sirius," Dragon noticed Yamato's words and asked curiously, "Where have you been for the past four years? The Sky Island?"
What kind of place would it be possible to leave no trace of them?
Dragon racked his brains, and in the end, all he could think of were those floating islands far away from the Blue Sea Sky Island.
But if they were on Sky Island, how could they have had no contact for four years?
"Sky Island? No, no, no,"
Sirius, who was wolfing down his food, waved his hand repeatedly, pointing his right index finger towards the sky, "It's even higher."
"Higher places?"
Dragon paused for a moment.
"We've gone into space!"
Yamato chuckled and said, "I was chased all the way into space by that guy Imu, and then my adventure in space began."
"Cosmic Adventure?"
Dragon and Sabo were instantly dumbfounded and speechless.
This was completely beyond their imagination.
While everyone else was still on the Blue Sea, roaming freely across its waters, this group of people had actually left this world to venture into the vast universe?
"The universe is really interesting!" Yamato chuckled. "We've found lots of interesting things in the universe!"
"For example, your flight just now was one, wasn't it?" Sabo couldn't help but ask.
"Oh, that one."
Sirius raised his hand and patted his chest. "It's just anti-gravity technology, nothing special."
No, no, this sounds like something truly remarkable, doesn't it?
Dragon and Sabo looked at each other in bewilderment.
Could it be that these people really obtained some amazing things in the universe?
A sudden surge of anticipation rose in Dragon's heart. "Then, Sirius— "
"I've come back this time to put an end to all of this!"
Sirius laughed and said, "So, Dragon, my friend, tell me, what happened on the sea during the four years we were away? What does Blue Sea look like now!"
"I see."
Dragon nodded heavily.
Next, Sirius and the others learned from Dragon about the changes in the sea over the past four years.
While it's described as a change, there haven't actually been any major changes.
After the Sirius Pirates left, the Red-Haired Pirates immediately took their place, becoming what people called the new Pirate Emperor.
The power structure of the four Pirate Emperor remains stable.
However, the Charlotte Family abandoned Whole Cake Island, and the Beasts Pirates did not occupy any more kingdoms. Without exception, the four Pirate Emperor began to roam the New World.
It was as if they were hiding from something.
The biggest change in the New World is the emergence of two outstanding rising stars.
Fire Fist Ace and Captain Kid, two genuine powerhouses, have been advancing with unstoppable momentum since setting sail, eventually storming into the New World and becoming supernovas admired by the world.
"Kid and Ace?"
Sirius smiled. "So that guy has already set sail?"
"Not just them, Luffy has already reached the Grand Line," Dragon said.
That's right, it's already the year 1520 of the Sea Calendar.
The year it all began.
Let everything end this year.
