Which Side?

Just as Sabo was hesitating, a message that made him wary came from the factory in the distance.

"Hey! How long are you two going to slack off? We've got a message from over there, and we need the family to get there right now. Stop slacking off here!"

"Over there? Which over there? Is it the entertainment center or..."

"Stop talking nonsense! If it were the entertainment center, would we even get a chance?"

Only after the sound disappeared did Sabo jump down from the tree, his clothes covered in green leaves.

"An entertainment complex? Doflamingo has another ally? It seems the darkness behind this kingdom is far greater than I anticipated..."

At that moment, like a cat that had caught the scent of a mouse, Sabo's lips curled up slightly.

Bahru bahru bah...

"Moshi Moshi, Koala, tell Hacky that I seem to have discovered Doflamingo's arms supply chain. I will contact you as soon as we reach a safe zone."

"Sabo? Sabo!!!"

Click!

Before she could finish speaking, the crisp sound of the phone being hung up echoed through the receiver, instantly making Koala blush.

"Why did you hang up? You didn't even tell me where you were going! That bastard who just does whatever he wants!!!"

"Hey, hey, hey, if you're angry at Sabo, why are you pulling my face? He's still your karate master, show some respect for your teacher!"

Somewhere within the Lulucia Kingdom, Koala, who had grown into a beautiful young woman wearing a top hat similar to Sabo's, finally realized what was happening.

"Sorry, I'm used to slapping that guy's face, I forgot for a moment, Hacky."

"You guys... Where did Sabo go again? He's the chief of staff of the Revolutionary Army. If Mr. Dragon finds out, he'll definitely give you a scolding."

The fishman Hacky, dressed in karate attire, shook his head helplessly, quite speechless at the chief of staff who was usually somewhat unreliable but often made sudden discoveries.

"Who knows! They said they suddenly discovered an arms supply chain, and then just disappeared. Honestly..."

"What if we encounter danger? Who knows who's behind Doflamingo? What if they're those dangerous elements roaming the seas?!"

With a puff of her cheeks, Koala spoke angrily, while Hacky chuckled instead.

"It's alright. Sabo's strength is among the top in the Revolutionary Army. Even if he encounters danger, he can save his life."

"If he were to encounter something that could threaten his life, it would probably be one of the very few in this vast ocean. He's always been lucky, hasn't he?"

Hacky looked serious. As the Chief of the General Staff of the Revolutionary Army, who was determined to overthrow the World Government and support true justice, how could his strength be lacking!

"Ugh, that idiot Sabo, I'll give him a good beating when he gets back. It looks like we'll have to handle the investigation within the Lulucia Kingdom ourselves."

After a sigh, Koala quickly got to work, gazing into the distance as he sketched the Donquixote Family's massive transport factory, his expression resolute.

"If Donquixote Doflamingo were to distribute these weapons, who knows how many civilians would be dragged into the war..."

"Therefore, we still need to find the location of the arsenal as soon as possible and use the production lines of these weapons for the revolution to liberate those people oppressed by the Heavenly Tribute."

The two exchanged a glance and then went their separate ways.

Meanwhile, inside several Donquixote fleets sailing into the distance, Sabo, who had infiltrated the fleet, was hiding on one of the ships, listening intently.

"This time, the fleet dispatched by the family is at least twice as large as the last one. Is that outrageous?"

"That's why the young master instructed us that this mission cannot afford the slightest mistake. Don't forget where we're going; it's the territory of the Four Emperors. If any problems arise, the young master will punish us first!"

Sabo's heart skipped a beat. He froze on the spot, his face turning ashen.

"The Four Emperors Four Emperors? Which one could it be? Whitebeard? Impossible. He controls the largest territory in the New World; he wouldn't care about arms deals..."

"Big Mom is the same. With Red-Haired Shanks newly joined, besides the elusive Uchiha Huayue, there's only that Azure Dragon, Kaido of the Beasts!"

Sabo, who had figured everything out in an instant, was surprised to find that the Den Den Mushi Den Den Mushi his hand had lost signal as he took it out to contact his companions.

"Is it too far? Now we have no choice but to risk infiltrating Wano Country and find out the location of the weapons factory. The Strongest Creature on Land, Sea, and Air..."

With a wild grin spreading across his face, Sabo quietly lowered his voice and hid inside the large ship bound for Wano Country.

Wano Country, at the edge of the beach.

A short girl, her clothes patched up, mingled among a group of hungry villagers from the Amiasa Village.

Glug glug!

"My stomach is growling! No, no, going hungry is a disgrace to a samurai! I must endure it, I must endure it!"

"What... what is that?"

Just then, someone in the group noticed something and pointed to the beach in the distance.

On the beach, boats shattered by the waves appeared before everyone.

Besides the wreckage, there were also broken boxes containing meat, wine, and fruit, like lambs falling into the eyes of hungry wolves.

"Food, it's food!"

In that instant, the villagers of Amiasa Village, who were originally starving, completely transformed into hungry wolves and rushed over like madmen.

They showed no regard for whether the pirates who had fainted on the beach were still alive.

"It's food! It's food!"

The petite girl couldn't squeeze in at all and could only watch helplessly as the food in front of her was snatched up. Only after everyone had left did she find a bright red apple in the corner.

"It really is an apple, an uncontaminated apple. It's so delicious, so delicious, just like Anko..."

Meanwhile, Ace, who was tied to a tree stump and woke up from the noise, looked around and saw that he was tied up in the village. There was a little girl in front of him carefully eating an apple. He smiled and asked her.

"Are apples delicious?"

"It's delicious! Hey..."

The next moment, the little girl turned her head to look, and the villagers of Amiasa Village also turned around and smelled the burning smell.

Sparks flew as the ropes binding him were burned to ashes. Upon seeing the pirate awaken, the villagers of Amiasa Village instantly became alert.

"You... you... what do you want to do? We're not giving your food back!"

Looking around, he saw that most of the villagers were pale and thin, and Ace smiled knowingly, realizing something.

"Wait for me a moment..."

It wasn't until Ace flew away that the villagers of Amiasa Village realized what had happened.

"What do we do? He's a pirate, a pirate like Kaido! We'd better run!"

"Run? Where can we run to? I've had enough of this kind of life. I'd rather have a good meal and then die. At least I won't have to suffer the torment of hunger!"
