Sabo Makes His Move

"Sakazuki!"

"Watch your attitude!"

The white-haired Five Elder in a dark blue suit, whose long, straight hair and beard were both white, rebuked him.

"That's right!"

"Remember your place."

The Five Elder in a black suit, with curly white hair, a bushy white beard, a flat cap, and a scar on his left cheek, roared as well.

"Otherwise, if Roya grows beyond our control,

"we'll have an even harder time explaining ourselves!"

followed the Eternal Pose and arrived at an island.

The island was small and covered in forest. It might not have been deserted, but few people lived there.

Still,

it made a good hiding place for the Revolutionary Army.

After all, the Revolutionary Army
