Pirates: Start by rejecting the redhead's invitation

A few years ago, it took Ace and Luffy a long time to get over the shadow of Sabo's death.

It's because Saab said that he would go to sea at the age of seventeen.

Therefore, Ace and Luffy decided to go to sea to pursue their dreams when they were seventeen years old.

On the coast near the windmill village.

A dark-haired boy wearing a straw hat with an excited face watched Ace go away, and he did not leave until Ace was nowhere to be seen.

The villagers who came to see Ace off have almost left.

Maginot, the proprietress of the only tavern in Windmill Village, was still with the straw hat boy and said warmly: "Luffy, Ace has left. Come back quickly."

"Well!" Luffy clenched his fists and grinned, "There are still three years left. Before I go to sea, I will definitely become stronger. Ace, sooner or later I will definitely defeat you!"

"I'm really motivated." Maginot said with a smile.

Luffy said excitedly: "Of course, Ace is very strong. If I don't work hard, I won't be able to catch up with him."

Suddenly thinking of something, Luffy's eyes became more determined: "Sabo, Ace has already gone to sea, and I will be next. Don't worry, we will definitely take your share to conquer this sea. One Piece,

I’m determined!”

Not far away, on a medium-sized light rail sailing ship.

Sabo sneezed suddenly.

Rubbing his nose, Sabo said with a puzzled look on his face: "What's going on...it seems like someone is thinking about me."

Kerra muttered: "Don't come here anymore. Who will miss you as you are? Come down from the observation deck quickly, don't catch a cold from the sea breeze."

"Oh." Sabo just responded, and an island appeared in his sight in the distance, "I saw the island!"

Sabo jumped down from the observation deck and quickly came to the bow of the ship. He looked at the islands that were getting closer and closer. Somehow, he felt an inexplicable feeling of familiarity.

"I seem to have been to this place before."

"What are you talking about?" Kerra walked to Sabo's side, looked at the island with him, and continued, "When we get to the shore, do you want to go to the island for a walk? I can accompany you.

"

"No need." Sabo said calmly, "I'm not here for fun."

"I know... Although I have never seen that girl, Lin Mo deliberately scattered her ashes here, probably because he wanted to return to his roots. This may be the hometown of Lin Mo and his sister. Don't you want to visit her hometown?

You don’t have to worry about the mission. Aren’t we divided into two teams when we came out this time? Crow and the others have already gone on the mission first, and we can’t go a day later..."

"Kirra." Sabo cut off Kerra's words, turned to look at her, and said with a smile, "I know what I'm doing, don't worry."

"You guy..." Kerla sighed helplessly, "Forget it, whatever you want..."

After the ship docked.

Sabo took a bouquet of white lilacs and jumped off the boat easily.

Kerra stood by the guardrail of the ship, looked at Sabo and asked, "Do you really don't need me to accompany you?"

Sabo waved to her and said with a smile, "No need."

Then, he walked a short distance along the coast.

By coincidence, Luffy, Maginot and the others had already left before Sabo arrived.

Saab didn't go too far and stopped less than a hundred meters away from the medium-sized light rail sailboat he was riding on.

Looking at the endless sea, after a moment of silence, Sabo threw the bouquet in his hand into the sea.

"Mumu, I'm sorry, I'm late." Sabo said solemnly, "I will never have the chance to repay what I owe you in this life, but I promise you that as long as it is within my power, I will spare no effort.

Go help your brother."

Just as he was speaking.

A middle-aged man carrying a fish basket passed behind him.

"Young man, you look unfamiliar, are you a foreigner?" The middle-aged man glanced at Saab and greeted him warmly, "Are you here for fun? It's very close to Windmill Village. If you want to stay,

, I can recommend several more affordable B&Bs to you.”

"No, thank you." Sabo looked back at the middle-aged man and politely rejected him, "I will leave in a moment."

"Oh, that's it." The middle-aged man said nothing more and was about to leave.

Sabo thought for a moment and couldn't help calling him again: "Uncle, wait a moment."

The middle-aged man stopped, looked at him, and asked strangely: "What's wrong, young man?"

Sabo hesitated and continued to ask: "Are you from Windmill Village?"

The middle-aged man nodded and responded: "Yes, I am from Windmill Village. Is there any problem?"

Sabo smiled and said: "Nothing, I want to ask you about someone. Do you know Lin Mumu?"

"Lin Mumu?" The middle-aged man looked confused, "I have never heard of this name... I know almost all the people in the surrounding villages, and I have never heard of this name."

When the middle-aged man said this, Sabo was stunned. Without thinking much, he immediately asked: "What about Lin Mo? Do you know him?"

"Lin Mo?" The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Of course I know that kid. When he was ten years old, he encountered a shipwreck and was washed up by the sea. At that time, it was me and a few friends.

We discovered him, and then he left our village after staying for a while, and never came back since then. Wow, that kid has grown up now, and has become more capable, and he has actually become a criminal with a 1.5 billion bounty on his head.

,Hahaha."

The middle-aged man laughed and stated what he knew, but Sabo felt that something was wrong the more he listened.

"Did you encounter a shipwreck when you were ten years old?" Sabo stared at the middle-aged man and continued to ask, "Are you sure he was the only one who washed ashore at that time?"

"Are you sure?" the middle-aged man asked strangely, "What's wrong? Is that guy Lin Mo having any issues with you?"

"No." Sabo shook his head and said, "Lin Mumu is Lin Mo's sister. When he was in the village, did he ever mention that he had a sister?"

"This... really doesn't happen." The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "The boy seemed to have been stimulated by something. He had been silent and ignored anyone since he woke up. He didn't answer any questions we asked, except for talking to the people in the tavern.

The lady boss of Maginot said a few more words, and no one else in the village, including me, had more than three conversations with him before he left."

Originally, Saab wanted to leave after paying homage to Lin Mumu, but now he changed his mind.

"Uncle, can you tell me the direction of the pub?" Sabo asked politely.

The middle-aged uncle pointed to the direction of Maginot's Tavern: "Go in that direction. If you walk faster, you can get there in ten minutes."

"Okay, thank you." After nodding, Saab immediately returned to the medium-sized light rail sailboat and said to Kerla, who was still staring at him by the guardrail: "Kerla, please wait for me, there is something I want to do.

Go make sure."
