Reunion
As the distant ships drew closer, Xia Qiu was overjoyed and stood on the shore, eagerly anticipating their arrival.
"Why is your club president so happy?"
Seeing this, Luo asked with some curiosity.
"Because there is a very important person there."
Heckle said with a smile, "That's the person the president values most."
"Oh?"
Ace became interested and looked curiously into the distance.
The ship slowly approached and docked at the shore. As soon as it stopped, a figure jumped off the ship and ran towards them.
"Little Qiu." A gentle female voice rang out.
"Robin."
Xia Qiu immediately rushed over, stood in front of Robin, and lowered her head.
Robin then grabbed Xia Qiu's mouth and pressed his head against Xia Qiu lips.
Xia Qiu then extended her arms and legs, encircling Robin's body.
They hadn't seen each other for three and a half years, and they both missed each other terribly.
Robin was the first person he communicated with, and they spent two years together, including a year and a half of that time together.
After separating from her, Xia Qiu missed her more and more, and there was no one around her as smart as her anymore.
"You two have a really good relationship."
A voice rang out from the ship, and three figures jumped down. The people on the other ship also disembarked to greet them.
The leader was holding an iron pipe and had a smile on his face.
"Hey, Little Qiu, long time no see."
Koala, with her hands behind her back and wearing high-heeled leather boots, walked towards this side.
The tall Hack slowly followed and walked towards them.
"You...?"
Upon seeing Sabo at the head of the group, Ace couldn't help but walk up to him and stare at him. He felt that the person opposite him was very familiar, especially the hat on his head, which was exactly the same as Sabo's.
But Sabo is dead; he can't possibly be alive here.
It really does look like it.
"You're Ace, right?"
Sabo smiled and extended his hand to Ace, saying, "Hello, my name is Sabo."
"Sabo?"
Ace was stunned for a moment, then suddenly stepped forward, grabbed his arms, and asked, "You said your name is Sabo?"
"Yes."
Sabo looked at the other person, puzzled.
"Is it really you, Sabo? It's me Ace."
Ace looked at Sabo, his eyes slightly red.
"Ace?"
Sabo tilted his head and looked at Ace, saying, "We know each other, right? I've seen your portrait, and it looks familiar."
"What is your full name?" Ace asked quickly.
"Full name? I don't know either." Sabo scratched his head.
Koala said, "He was saved by Mr. Dragon. He had lost his memory when he was saved. All he had was a piece of paper with Sabo's name on it."
"Save them?"
Ace asked expectantly, "Where?"
"Where? It seems to be..." Koala frowned slightly, Hack, who was not far away, said, "Near the Goa Kingdom."
"The Goa Kingdom".
Upon hearing this name, Ace suddenly burst into tears, his mouth agape as he sobbed, "It really was you."
"You..."
Sabo looked at Ace with a puzzled expression.
"Sabo".
Ace hugged Sabo tightly and burst into tears, "You're alive, that's wonderful, that's wonderful."
Do you know each other?
"Koala asked softly."
"I've always felt that Ace is familiar to me."
Sabo felt Ace's embrace and heard his tears filled with joy and longing, his eyes grew redder and redder until tears slowly streamed down his face.
"What happened?"
Sabo didn't know why he was crying; he only felt an overwhelming sense of longing and joy, and slowly something began to surface in his mind.
"Thank goodness, Sabo, you're still alive! You don't know, I always thought you were dead," Ace said, crying.
"Ace."
Sabo repeated the name, and coupled with the intense emotions conveyed by Ace, he suddenly froze on the spot.
"Ace."
Sabo repeated it again, and then said, "I... I think I remember some of it."
Do you remember?
Ace slowly straightened up and looked at Sabo.
Sabo looked at Ace's tearful face, all his memories flooded back.
"It's you, Ace."
Sabo burst into tears and hugged Ace tightly. He could imagine how heartbroken Ace would be if he left.
They missed the two of them terribly.
Sabo remembered the past, but unlike in the original story, he did not regain his memories after Ace's death and never saw Ace again.
The two hugged each other and cried very sadly.
Seeing this, Nami sighed and said, "So Ace had a brother, really..."
"What an enviable friendship," said Mr. 2 Bon Clay, moved by the sentiment.
But at that moment, Sabo 'Hack eyes lit up, "Hachi!"
"Hack".
Hachi quickly went over and looked at Hack, saying, "Hack- senpai, you're here."
"Long time no see."
Hack burst out laughing.
"Do you know each other?" Vivi asked curiously.
Hachi said, "Senior Hack was once a member of our Sun Pirates, and he grew up in Fish-Man District. I met him when we were kids. However, when Arlong and I joined the Sun Pirates, Senior Hack left the Sun Pirates and I heard that he joined the Revolutionary Army."
"Are you Hachi?"
Koala overheard their conversation and looked at Hachi.
"Who are you?"
Hachi looked at Koala with a surprised expression and frowned. "She looks familiar."
"Koala, it's me, Koala."
Koala said happily, "The Sun Pirates once saved me when I was only ten years old. You also often stopped Arlong from bullying me."
"Koala, it's you."
Hachi stared wide-eyed at Koala and said, "That little girl has grown so much."
"I'm so happy."
Koala's eyes reddened as she looked at the man who had saved her, but she couldn't help but burst into tears the next moment, "But Mr. Fisher Tiger... because of me..."
"He died after he took you back."
Hachi recalled the scene and felt extremely pained. Then he said, "Even Arlong was killed."
Hachi couldn't help but cry, and Koala immediately stepped forward, hugged Hachi, and said, "Don't be sad, we're still alive."
Hachi hugged Koala tightly, tilting his head back to try and hold back his tears.
What's going on?
Nami's mouth dropped open when she saw this, and she exclaimed, "How come I know everyone here?"
Is this a family reunion event?
Luo couldn't help but complain.
Hearing Robin and the president, Sabo and Ace, Hakukoro and Hachi's conversation, one has to say, what a small world this is.
They didn't separate until much later.
Ace looked at Sabo and asked with a smile, "Where are you now?"
"Don't you know?"
Sabo asked curiously.
Ace said, "The president didn't tell us where you came from."
"Yes, our identities are indeed somewhat special," Sabo said with a smile.
From a distance, Hachi looked at Koala and asked, "Hack, aren't you with the Revolutionary Army anymore? How come you're together?"
Hack said, "I am still in the Revolutionary Army."
"Revolutionary Army?"
Hachi looked at Koala, Koala smiled and said, "I'm also in the Revolutionary Army."
"That's right, I was saved by Mr. Dragon of the Revolutionary Army," Sabo said with a smile. "Now I'm the Chief of Staff of the Revolutionary Army."
How were things going for you in the Revolutionary Army?
Xia Qiu looked at Robin and asked.
"Very nice."
Robin said with a smile, "I've found my value."
"That's good."
Xia Qiu nodded. Being able to see the people she cared about happy was enough.
But in the distance, Vivi, Nami, and Law stared wide-eyed. "The Revolutionary Army? We're going to cooperate with the Revolutionary Army?"
