"Stop hitting him! You're trying to kill him!"

As soon as he reached the top of the mountain, Sabo roared at the wind and thunder in the sky.

After speaking, Sabo quickly looked towards Rayleigh and his group in the distance.

With just one glance, Sabo saw the group of unconscious executives, and the only survivor, the Okama King, bound like an insect and constantly thrashing about...

Noticing Sabo's gaze, the Okama King raised his bruised face and forced a smile, winking his sexy eyes at Sabo.

"Don't get excited, Sabo!"

This time, I fought two monsters who were like Admiral all by myself, and I even got punched by Rayleigh.

I single-handedly held off three monsters!

"Well..."

Hearing Ivankov's words, Sabo rolled his eyes helplessly; the situation was indeed just as he had imagined.

In the few minutes he was unconscious, his companions were instantly defeated by the Dark Bird Ship...

With a frustrated sigh, Sabo and Ace rushed towards Rayleigh and the others.

As he jogged, Sabo shouted his explanation.

"Stop joking, Sister Ivankov, it's all a misunderstanding!"

Don't let a misunderstanding put us in danger!

As soon as he finished speaking, Sabo stopped in front of Rayleigh and roared at the sky.

"Uncle Long, it's all a misunderstanding. The people from the Dark Bird Ship didn't hurt me!"

Everything that just happened was a consequence of me recalling those past memories!

I've remembered my past. I'm a nobleman of the Goa Kingdom, and more importantly, I'm Ace's brother!!!

Uncle Long, Ace is my brother, my dearest friend and family. He didn't mean to hurt me!!!

At this point, Sabo didn't wait for a response from the wind and thunder in the sky. He looked solemnly at Rayleigh and then bowed deeply.

"I'm sorry, Uncle Rayleigh, it's all my fault that Saint Gawain and Uncle Dragon had a misunderstanding!"

In response, as the Provisional Chief of Staff of the Revolutionary Army, I solemnly apologize to the Dark Bird Ship on behalf of the Revolutionary Army!

Because of my problem, Saint Gawain and Uncle Dragon got into a fight, and our Revolutionary Army also caused a lot of trouble for the Dark Bird Ship.

We will compensate for this; please help me persuade those two uncles in the sky to stop..."

Sizzle sizzle!!!

Before Sabo could finish speaking, a ball of lightning suddenly appeared beside him, quickly transforming into the shape of Gawain, who then raised his hand and struck Sabo on the head.

"Hey kid, who are you calling 'uncle'? I'm only twenty-seven, I'm still young!!!"

"Why?!!"

Sabo was startled when his head was suddenly hit, and he quickly covered his head in surprise.

While rubbing his head through his hat, Sabo said in shock.

"You... you're still fighting Uncle Long, yet you manage to talk to me?"

Saint Gawain, you're amazing! I admire you so much!

So, can we stop fighting? I'll apologize...

While trying his best to put on a fawning expression, Sabo tugged at Ace beside him.

He pulled Ace aside and chuckled at Gawain.

"Uncle Gawain, I have Ace testify for me that I really did have amnesia before."

I grew up with Ace. If I hadn't lost my memory, if I had remembered Ace earlier, we wouldn't be at each other's throats like we are now!

Ace is my brother, his uncle is my uncle, his godfather is my godfather, and his future wife is my sister-in-law. We are as close as family!

So, Uncle Gawain ~~~."

Sabo raised his young face, revealing a look of utter reverence.

"So, Uncle Gawain, my Uncle Dragon is also Ace's uncle..."

"So, Uncle Gawain and Uncle Long, could you please stop fighting...?"

"You think you can just say you won't fight and then you're done, you brat?"

Looking at Sabo's seemingly harmless appearance, Gawain's lightning avatar pondered for a moment.

Seeing Sabo's expectant expression, he gently rubbed Sabo's head.

"If there's no war, we can sit down and have a drink anytime."

But regardless, the war had begun.

Even if we are still going to sit down and drink, we must first determine the winner of the war before we start drinking.

After all, if there's no winner, how are we supposed to decide who treats us?!

The moment he finished speaking, Gawain revealed a meaningful smile.

At that very moment, in the distant sky, amidst the clashing winds and thunder, Gawain was having a brief conversation with the dragon.

With a light laugh, Gawain raised his foot and used his lightning-fast foot to stomp on the dragon's swirling hurricane-like phoenix eye.

Then, Gawain laughed.

"Sabo's appearance seems to offer you a new path, a stepping stone that allows you to barely believe that I won't treat you and your crew as fish on a chopping board to feast on."

So, Dragon, do you still want to continue?

As soon as he finished speaking, hundreds of thousands of thunderbolts, brewing and poised to strike, were aimed at the dragon's hurricane from the dark clouds behind Gawain.

Upon hearing Gawain's words, Dragon first frowned, then nodded with a stern face.

But the moment Dragon nodded, Gawain's smile suddenly turned amusing.

"Oh, haha, you actually want to step onto the steps Sabo offered you?"

Unfortunately, steps are often only suitable for situations where the forces are evenly matched, to the point that excessive fighting would result in mutual damage.

So, do you think this is the current situation?

At this point, Gawain standing beside Sabo Reverse Mountain, raised his hand towards the sky where Dragon was located.

Crocodile smiled and sealed Reverse Mountain, preventing even a wisp of wind from entering or leaving.

Rayleigh, Gion, Kuma, Hancock.

"Get Monkey D. Dragon for me!"

As soon as Gawain finished speaking, Rayleigh narrowed his eyes slightly, looking somewhat hesitant.

As an older generation pirate, he always felt that fighting with superior numbers wasn't exactly honorable.

But just as Rayleigh was thinking this, Gawain smiled and patted old man Rayleigh on the shoulder.

"Grandpa Rayleigh, Garp is too fast and too good at playing dumb. We won't be able to catch him anytime soon."

But can I hand his son over to you first?

So, haha, aren't you going to collect some gifts first?

"Hey?!?"

In that instant, Rayleigh's eyes lit up, and before Gawain give another order, the old man Rayleigh charged straight into the sky.

The moment Rayleigh charged forward, Gawain's true form, aided by the lightning, truly arrived beside Sabo.

Sabo felt the large hand rubbing his head become much warmer, and he looked embarrassed. Then he quickly grabbed Gawain's arm.

"Uncle Gawain, what... what's going on?"

We genuinely want a ceasefire. This isn't a tactic; if we continue fighting, we...

"Hey, kid, you're already seventeen, so don't try to act young in front of your uncle."

As for the dragon, he'll be fine. All I want is a defeated dragon, not a dead one. The destruction of the Revolutionary Army is not in my interest; his existence is more in line with my goals!

At this point, Gawain narrowed his eyes at Yixiao and the others, and after a moment, Crocodile suddenly raised his right hand.

"Sky Sandstorm!"

Accompanied by Crocodile's voice, Crocodile controlled every grain of sand on the completely sand-transformed mountaintop, eventually enveloping Reverse Mountain in the shape of the World Cup trophy...

Immediately afterwards, a light layer of Armament Haki covered the massive sandstorm barrier.

At the same time, Ichisho also added two more gravity barriers to Crocodile's sandstorm barrier.

By the time the two of them finished doing all this, Gion and Kuma had already joined Rayleigh and Dragon's battle.

After a moment's thought, they smiled and muttered to themselves.

"The existence of the Revolutionary Army may not be a good thing for us, but it is even less of a good thing for a range of countries, including both Affiliated Nation and non- Affiliated Nation."

"In that case, I think it's necessary for me to restrain Rayleigh properly, to prevent them from fighting too fiercely and killing Dragon on the spot!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he smiled and raised his hand to Gawain in a distant gesture.

"My lord, I'm off!"

"Um."

Gawain nodded slightly at Sabo's devastated expression, smiled, and immediately charged into the battle.

But no sooner had Yixiao left than Sabo hadn't even had a chance to plead with Gawain again.

Crocodile spoke.

The irritable Sand Crocodile was quite blunt, and he said to Gawain arrogantly.

"Let me translate for Brother Yixiao."

I have to find a way to get involved in this ruthless beating of Dragon.

The ability to control the wind is extremely rare, making it one of the top Logia; I absolutely have to see it for myself.

In short, my lord, Crocodile requests permission to fight!

"Allow."

Gawain nodded again, and as Sabo's appearance crumbled, Dragon's pressure increased immeasurably...

But that wasn't all. Seeing the battle in the sky becoming increasingly clear, Gawain waved to Jinbe.

"Jinbe, tell everyone still on the ship to relax and fight the storm together."

"Okay!"

Jinbe grinned and gave a thumbs-up, revealing a "you're so ruthless" look in his eyes, before making a phone call to the Dark Bird Ship.

And then, not long after...

Rayleigh, Zephyr, Gion, Issho, Kuma, Shiryu, Hancock, Jinbe, Crocus, Shakky, Crocodile, Binz, Ain, Isuka, and even Robin joined the battle...

On the Reverse Mountain, Gawain stood beside Sabo and Ace, watching the horrific scene in the sky with amusement.

As he watched, Gawain patted the speechless Ace on the shoulder.

"Ace, the opportunity to fight a monster with a top-tier Logia is not common."

"What, don't you want to give it a try?"

"I..."

Ace hesitated greatly at this moment; he really wanted to join in.

After all, Gawain was right; that was a top-tier Logia monster!

And I really want to beat up Luffy's father for him...

Just as Ace hesitated, Sabo quickly grabbed Ace's arm.

Sabo was almost in tears at that moment.

"Ace, that's my uncle, and more importantly, my savior!"

Without Uncle Long, I would have died in Heavenly Dragon long ago... died in the sea!

In short, Uncle Long is already in a terrible situation, so please don't add fuel to the fire!

Damn it, your ability actually really added fuel to the fire...

As he spoke, Sabo looked at Gawain with a bitter expression. He had now witnessed the true nature of this big shot Gawain.

This big shot is quite easygoing, but also possesses an aura that is so approachable it can be intimidating.

As for Gawain's personality...

It's probably a bit of a perverse sense of humor...

Seeing Sabo Byakugan, Gawain chuckled and continued looking up at the sky.

Look at those who besieged Dragon; even Hancock was only a mid-tier player among them.

Keep in mind that five years later, Hancock's bounty will be 1.656 billion!

Therefore, the strength of the group besieging Dragon now, if measured by bounty...

That's probably close to 50 billion...

For a moment, Gawain couldn't help but feel that, in some ways, he was more domineering than the Fleet Admiral and the Four Emperors most of the time.

Have they ever fought such a costly war?

Are you kidding me!

On the ground nearby, Ivankov, bound like an insect, desperately rushed to Gawain's feet.

"Pancing heavily, "Ivankov said with a grin.

"Gawain, if you do this, Dragon will most likely hold a grudge against you."

Or shall we call it a day?

I've been friends with Dragon for so many years, I know him better than anyone else.

Don't be fooled by his current struggle; he's probably already decided to give in.

In short, you are the captain of the Dark Bird Ship. Our Revolutionary Army and the Dark Bird Ship are like Sabo and Ace, they are like brothers, Captain!

So, could you please not...?

Just then, a series of sharp sounds suddenly came from the sky.

It turned out that Rayleigh and Zephyr, those two old men, seized the opportunity and executed a tactical collaboration that only the older generation understood, which in one fell swoop exposed more than one weakness in Dragon.

Thus, Dragon suffered a series of defeats, while the Dark Bird pressed their advantage and pursued them.

Just eight seconds later, Gion and Issho's swords were pressed hard against the sides of Dragon's neck.

When Dragon was brought under control, Zephyr immediately grabbed him with his large Seastone hand.

Immediately afterwards, Crocodile and the others unleashed a barrage of punches.

Kuma was definitely not the one who started the fight; he even took many punches for his old friend.

But Hancock, this woman has a negative 10,000-point favorability rating against anyone who attacks Gawain.

In short, about half a minute later, when Dragon was carried and escorted to Gawain by a group of people.

A string of snakeskin print high heel prints was still clearly visible on his face...

Looking at the man before him, whose expression had shifted from somber to one of utter sullenness, he saw Dragon, who now appeared utterly dejected.

Sabo sadly patted his face.

"What is going on? This is outrageous, sigh..."

Uncle Long, I'm so sorry, it's all because of me that you've suffered..."

As he spoke, Sabo nudged Ace's arm with his elbow.

"Ace, don't just stand there, say something!"

"Ah?"

Ace was taken aback, then quickly nodded.

"Yes... I do... I do have something to say."

At this moment, Ace stammered a little, after all, the person in front of him, bound and escorted by Seastone chains, was none other than Dragon, the most dangerous criminal in the world and the leader of the Revolutionary Army!

In some ways, this identity is even more intimidating Koby Whitebeard World's Strongest Man!

But even a man like that, was he ultimately brought before Uncle Gawain?

Although Dragon was fighting against multiple opponents, in Ace's eyes, even in a one-on-one situation, Dragon didn't seem to gain any advantage over Gawain!

Besides, having so many powerful subordinates is a testament to Uncle Gawain's charisma and strength; otherwise, why wouldn't those powerful older men and women pledge allegiance to someone else?

At that moment, in Ace's eyes, Gawain's smiling figure seemed to be shrouded in a holy light...

Sabo was still waiting for Ace to plead for him.

As Ace was talking, he suddenly found himself staring blankly at Gawain.

This result greatly displeased Sabo, who quickly nudged Ace again.

"Ace, what are you standing there for? Say something for my Uncle Long!"

"Profound!!!"

Ace was taken aback, and he quickly looked at Dragon.

Faced with Dragon's deeply gloomy face, Ace was momentarily confused, unsure of what to say.

Sabo didn't tell him what to say either.

What was I originally going to say?

Perhaps he's slightly out of his mind, or maybe it's a common problem in Roger's family.

A moment later, Ace Fire Fist and roared at Dragon, right in front of Sabo's incredulous expression.

"Monkey D. Dragon, you bastard father!"

Do you know how much Luffy has missed you all these years?!

You're such a useless guy! I'm going to teach you a lesson for Luffy... Ah!

Bang!

It turned out that Sabo, with his eyes rolled back, punched Ace in the head.

Sabo's face was full of black lines; he was on the verge of a mental breakdown.

He let out a furious roar.

"This isn't the time to talk about this, Ace!!!"

You're still as brainless as you were when you were a kid!!!
