Selling Pokémon from Pirates

Chapter 121 Unexpected Visitor

Luffy, who was standing at the window edge, looked surprised and rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

"Is...is it Saab? Is it really Saab?"

He stepped on the window sill and cautiously stepped into the room.

It was as if he was afraid that everything in front of him was a dream and that if he was not careful, he would destroy this beautiful picture.

But as the distance between Luffy and Sabo got closer and closer, his eyes suddenly became moist.

"Yes, it's really...Saab!"

Even though many years had passed, Luffy still recognized Sabo's identity at a glance and was convinced of it!

"Great! So you're not dead yet!"

Luffy took a big step forward, reaching out to wake Sabo up and let him take a look at him.

But the moment he got closer.

Lying on the bed, Sabo's expression suddenly became extremely painful, and his facial features were ferocious, as if he was fighting a nightmare.

It seemed that I heard Luffy's voice, or felt Luffy's breath...

At this moment, Sabo, who had been unconscious for a long time, suddenly moved his fingers.

Then he suddenly spoke, as if talking in his sleep, and murmured softly:

"Luffy...Luffy..."

The extremely small voice, at this moment, seemed to span a long river of time and space, spreading from three hours ago to today, and penetrated into Luffy's mind.

Excitement, doubt, disbelief...

Various complex emotions appeared on Luffy's face one by one.

But in the end, Luffy just grew a long mouth, and then showed a calm expression.

"It's me! Sabo."

Luffy took a step forward again, approaching Sabo's bedside.

Seemingly realizing that Sabo's condition was not good at this time, he unexpectedly changed his usual publicity and stood there quietly, waiting for Sabo to wake up.

At the same time, in Sabo's dream.

A large number of memory images burst out of his brain like a flood, instantly spreading throughout his mind and swallowing him up.

But somewhere in the dark, there was another voice that was familiar yet unfamiliar to him, holding him tightly like a chain.

"ah!!!"

The sudden influx of memories gave Sabo a splitting headache.

In reality, he was unconscious and suddenly let out a scream.

But at the same time, his eyes were trembling slightly, forcing himself to wake up.

"What happened!?"

Peng!

Bang….

Just two seconds after Sabo screamed...

The bedroom door was pushed open with great force, and immediately a metal washbasin fell to the ground, spilling warm water all over the floor.

Tap tap tap tap...

Rapid footsteps appeared.

Clar, who heard Sabo's scream, rushed into the room quickly, with an anxious and worried look on his face.

As soon as he entered the room, Krall immediately noticed something unusual in the room.

Seeing Luffy appearing inexplicably, even though he was just a young boy, she immediately pulled out the gun on her waist and pointed it at Luffy.

"You...who are you!?"

"What are you going to do to Sabo!?"

"Forehead……"

Because of his rubber fruit ability, Luffy is absolutely immune to the lead bullets of this era.

Facing the deep black muzzle, he said bluntly without changing his expression:

"I am Luffy, I am..."

"Saab's younger brother."

Although Luffy's tone was very calm.

But no one knew how excited he felt after saying these words!

Saab!!!

It’s really Saab!!!

Great! Saab is not dead yet!

Although he didn't know what happened to Sabo, Luffy could still see Krall's concern for Sabo.

An infectious smile appeared on his face.

"Saab's...brother!?"

Krall, on the other hand, was suddenly startled after hearing Luffy's words, showing an astonished expression.

At the same time, the muzzle of the Yousen's gun tilted downwards unconsciously, no longer pointing at Luffy.

Krall asked in an uncertain tone:

"You...are you really Sabo's brother?"

"Why are you here?"

She looked at Luffy in confusion.

"I..." Luffy began to answer: "Of course I came to the city to find something to eat!"

"By the way! I also have a piece of bread here, just right for Sabo!"

Luffy smiled and raised the bread in his hand and shook it.

Seeing Sabo again, he was so excited that he was even willing to share the delicious food.

But the confused Krall missed the bread and instantly grasped the key point of Luffy's words.

"Coming to town?"

She quickly asked:

"You said you came to the city, which means you are a resident of this island!?"

"Were you born on this island?"

"Ah? I'm not very clear about this either."

Luffy scratched his head and replied:

"But me, Ace and Sabo, the three of us live here."

"If it hadn't been for that day..."

Luffy's words stopped abruptly, and then he continued to laugh and said:

"Fortunately, fortunately Sabo is still alive..."

"correct!"

Luffy raised his head and looked at Krall: "Has Sabo been in the palace all these years?!"

"of course not!"

Putting away his musket, Krall shook his head slightly.

The slender legs wrapped in long boots stepped in front of Sabo, and the armrest helped him wipe the sweat from his forehead.

"No wonder Sabo suddenly passed out. I think he must have recalled the past..."

Krall's eyes flashed with complicated expressions, looking at Sabo, and explained to Luffy:

"Luffy...right?"

"You and Sabo haven't seen each other for many years, right?"

"Yes, it has been seven or eight years since Sabo died." Luffy looked nostalgic.

"Seven or eight years..."

After thinking about the time Sabo had mentioned before about joining the Revolutionary Army, Claire pursed her lips and murmured, then nodded slightly.

The time is absolutely right.

That is to say...

The boy in front of me is really Sabo's younger brother!

And Sabo was originally from the Kingdom of Goa!

This can explain why Sabo fell into a coma as soon as he came to the Kingdom of Goa.

It was probably because he was moved by the scene and reminded him of something.

"I really don't know whether I should thank fate or the dimensional merchant." Krall suddenly smiled and muttered softly.

If it hadn't been for the mission from the dimensional merchant, Sabo might never have set foot in the Kingdom of Goa again.

But……

There are so many rotten countries in the East China Sea, why is it the Kingdom of Goa!?

From this point of view, maybe Kojiro-sama and the others have known about Sabo's life experience for a long time, so he specially issued this mission to them.

Mr. Kojiro and the others are really good people!

Krall once again imagined a "helpful" character for the dimensional merchant in his mind, and then raised his head.

But just when she wanted to say something to Luffy.

Suddenly, Sabo, who had been unconscious, clenched his fists and shouted:

"Luffy!!!"

Whoosh!

The closed eyes suddenly opened, and a powerful aura like a sleeping lion suddenly emitted, surprising Luffy and Krall in the room.

"What is this place!?"

But when he saw the unfamiliar ceiling in front of him, Sabo didn't feel weak at all after falling into a coma.

As soon as his thoughts passed by, he propped up the bed with one hand and sat up vigilantly.

Immediately afterwards, another memory entered his mind.

This is the memory he has recovered and is making final repairs.

"Luffy! Ace!" Sabo murmured.

Not yet able to distinguish between dreams and reality, he looked at his hands in confusion.

The scene in the dream seemed to reappear again.

But just when he thought the world would be broken again like before...

A voice that made him extremely excited suddenly sounded beside him.

"I'm here, Sabo!"

Luffy's eyes were moist, but he didn't shed a single tear.

When we meet again, there is no need for tears.

"Luffy... Luffy!?"

The three-fold superposition of memory, dreams, and reality made Sabo's spirit become trance-like again.

But everything is no longer important.

Because Luffy met Sabo.

And Sabo also thought of Luffy.

…

…

An hour later, in the main hall of the palace.

Claire, Nami, and Karina stared in shock at Luffy, who opened his mouth half as tall as a human and kept stuffing food into his body.

The eyes of the three beauties showed curiosity...

How on earth did he eat food larger than his own body!?

Does Sabo’s brother have a fourth-dimensional stomach?

Strange questions popped up in the minds of the three women.

Compared to Luffy's exaggerated eating style...

Sabo, who was also devouring food beside him, seemed much normal at this time.

The two brothers seemed to have not seen anything to eat in hundreds of years, and they looked at the food on the table in a whirlwind.

If it weren't for the sufficient food reserves in the Goa Palace and the large number of chefs in the palace, the two brothers might not be able to satisfy their stomachs.

…

“Wuhu~so full, so full!”

After three rounds of drinking, Luffy patted his belly, which was stretched into a ball, with a satisfied smile on his face.

Saab on the side, although his body shape has not changed much, still has a lazy and content look on his face.

A gentle smile appeared on his face, he looked at Luffy and said:

"I really didn't expect that so much time has passed so quickly..."

"The little kid I once was has grown so big!"

"You're not the same!" Luffy immediately retorted with a pout.

But immediately, he smiled and muttered again:

"Ace, the same thing."

The memories of the three brothers once again appeared in Luffy's mind, making him smile from the bottom of his heart unconsciously.

Just don't know why.

After eating and drinking, Luffy had an inexplicable feeling that he had forgotten something important.

No matter how much he recalled, he could not remember what he had forgotten.

All I know is that the food in the palace is delicious, even better than the food cooked by Maginot!

If possible, he would like to eat more.

And this time.

Seeing that the two brothers seemed to have finished reminiscing over a meal, Claire spoke up and informed Sabo of the recent events in the Kingdom of Goa.

After listening to Claire's report, Sabo breathed a long sigh of relief and then smiled:

"We really almost had a big problem!"

"Thank you for being here, Claire."

If his coma affected the actions of the revolutionary army, he would really regret it to death.

"As long as you know!"

Hearing Sabo's words, Claire suddenly narrowed her eyes, seeming to enjoy Sabo's praise very much, and continued to smile:

"Also..."

"The leader has saved a large amount of funds and is just waiting for you to trade with the dimensional merchants."

"A deal..."

Sabo was startled, then smiled.

"I'm really curious. I don't know what kind of Pokémon I can get."

"Pokémon?"

At this moment, Luffy blinked suddenly.

He suddenly remembered that he had forgotten something.

he looks like……

Did you forget about the croaking frog who was still stealing bread!!?

"..."

Luffy's expression suddenly paused, and he pinched his cheek in embarrassment.

It should, maybe, maybe...

You'll find your way here, right?

…

…

at the same time.

On the streets of the central town.

"Kool Leopard, use random grab!"

Crowe in this newspaper pointed forward and shouted to Ku Bao beside him.

"Ku~" Kubao nodded.

The next second, the muscles of its limbs suddenly tightened, and it stepped heavily on the ground.

Peng!

Following a loud sound, a purple figure suddenly jumped into the air, forming a half-moon shape.

At this time, Ku Bao's eyes were full of fighting spirit.

A cold light suddenly flashed on the sharp claws, and it was swung at the croaking frog holding a large bag of bread below.

"Hey~ (Stop chasing me! Stop chasing me! I just stole a bag of bread, why are you chasing me for so long!?)"

The big eyes of the two buling bulings of Guaguapao Frog kept flashing, watching the Kubao's attack coming, and they reacted instantly.

Whoosh!

The croaking frog that used Lightning Flash in front of him suddenly turned into a blue lightning and moved quickly on the street, easily dodging the cool leopard's attack.

Taking advantage of Cool Leopard's sharp claws digging into the cracks in the marble floor, Quacka Bubble Frog suddenly turned around and took a deep breath.

"Huh~"

Skill - Smokescreen!

A thick black smoke suddenly spewed out from the small body of the croaking bubble frog, and instantly filled the entire street, like a black curtain, hiding its entire figure.

"It's this trick again!"

Crowe and Kubao had unhappy looks on their faces at the same time, and then they jumped up to the rooftops on both sides in perfect agreement.

Passing through the thick smoke screen, he just happened to spot the croaking frog disappearing around the corner of the street.

But just as he was about to continue the pursuit...

In his sight, a figure that shocked him appeared at the city gate in the distance.

!!!

Crowe looked startled, and instantly gave up chasing the figure of the croaking frog, and instead focused his gaze on the man in front of him with three cigars in his mouth.

Although the other person was not wearing navy uniforms, Crowe still recognized the person's identity at a glance.

"Colonel Smoker, the commander-in-chief of Rogue Town!?"

"Why is he here!?"

"Could it be that... the navy is about to launch an operation against the Kingdom of Goa!?"

Thinking of this, Crowe's pupils suddenly tightened.

He quickly reached into his pocket and took out his cell phone Rotom.

Although he had only joined the revolutionary army for a short time, Sabo and the others never regarded him as an outsider.

In addition, Crowe's strategic ability is also extraordinary...

While studying how to attack and defend the Kingdom of Goa, Crowe learned a lot of intelligence information specific to the revolutionary army.

This includes naval deployment in the East China Sea.

Know yourself and the enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger.

Before attacking the Kingdom of Goa, Crowe and the others had already fully explored the naval power in the East China Sea.

But it was precisely because of this that Cloro was so frightened at this time.

Thinking of the power of the natural devil fruit in the information, he immediately used his cell phone Rotom to send a message to Nami:

[Oops, Miss Nami! Inform Krall and the others that a navy has entered the central town! 】

[Location: Block 32 of the central town, currently only Navy Captain Smoker is seen.]

[The other party is a natural fruit ability user. Kubao and I are unable to deal with it and need emergency support!!!]

Didi!

As Rotom's eyes flashed on the phone, Crowe breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that at least he had passed on the information.

The rest is up to Nami-san and Klar to decide.

As for now...

"Kubao, are you interested in challenging a real strong person!?"

Crowe suddenly turned his head, looked at Ku Bao on the opposite eaves and said:

"That's the kind of strong man who might make us despair..."

"?"

Kubao turned his head and looked at Crowe doubtfully.

Immediately, its elegant face suddenly showed a strong fighting spirit.

"Ku~!!! (Strong ones? I fight the strong ones!!! Stop talking nonsense and fuck him!!!)"
