One Piece – I Am A Different Luffy!

Chapter 422 – Finally Reuniting with Sabo!

[Chapter Size: 2000 Words.]

Third Person POV

New Word.

...

...

Everyone in Dressrosa had their heads lifted as the enormous islands approached the kingdom. It quickly made the common people step back, witnessing a scene they had never seen before; not even Fujitora's meteors could compare to islands approaching the kingdom.

Bepo swiftly began directing the islands like Little Garden, Amazon Lily, and Shiki's islands around Dressrosa, while Skypiea would remain 10,000 feet away.

Everyone could only keep their eyes on the islands descending from the sky. "So that's what Luffy went to do... that's truly astonishing..." Sapo commented from a corner of the city as his companions watched with their mouths agape.

Rebecca, with her family, watched the grand spectacle, while her grandfather was speechless, and her aunt equally surprised. Only she and her father already knew something like this would happen. They too, since Luffy had warned them, but they never imagined such a scenario would truly unfold.

Most of the Straw Hats just observed with calm eyes, as Luffy had made it very clear that this would happen, but the sight of islands flying across the sky and descending was still incredible to some.

Jinbei turned his gaze away from the islands while all of Luffy's guests at the port watched in shock, as he went to receive them, per Luffy's request, to organize their arrival.

"What is this?!" Cavendish, trapped on the ship, looked on in astonishment, watching the scene from a distance.

"Looks like we'll all be reunited again," Usopp commented, watching Bepo do his job from afar.

"Attention, command! We're observing Dressrosa from a distance... islands falling from the sky!!" Near those waters, a group of marine ships was gathered, watching the scene as they relayed the information back to command.

On those ships were several ranks, even vice-admirals, called to these waters after the navy's disastrous operation to capture one of the Straw Hats. Now they had to wait for major reinforcements to arrive to negotiate with the Yonko, who had made Dressrosa their current headquarters.

"What did you say?!" Akainu slammed the table in anger while on a call with the World Government at the same time. Hearing about Amazon Lily frustrated him, still remembering the episode when he went after the island and was made a fool by his enemies, a humiliating experience for him when he found out the island had been removed.

"So, as we suspected... they removed Amazon Lily using the Fuwa Fuwa no Mi. We shouldn't be surprised by this. The disappearance of Little Garden was also caused by that fruit... and we were still investigating why the island suddenly vanished..." the voice of the elders was heard.

"..." Akainu couldn't say anything other than remain frustrated and command his marines to succeed in this mission, which was more of a negotiation than an actual confrontation. After all, the navy was in a critical position, with one admiral injured and two captured by the enemy, even if one was retired.

Meanwhile, the islands continued descending, lifting the sea as they struck the waters, beginning to stabilize after some small tsunamis caused by their additional weight in the ocean. Gran Tesoro seemed small as, on all its sides, the islands started to stabilize.

"Well... we're finally back..." Luffy said with a smile in the Kuja Palace. He had asked the people of Skypiea to keep the island in the sky, as there was no point in having a sky island on the ground. But that didn't stop his people from coming to the location, either traveling by bubbles or using Geppo, as some of his people had been training for a year and months since Luffy had arrived to stop Enel back then.

"Shall we go there, Luffy?" Hancock asked in a loving tone, approaching his side.

"I wanted to wait for the Black Pearl to arrive first. After all, the ship is our home, but since it's still out of sight... it's better we head there now. Can you take our children on a ship? I'll be taking care of a few things before joining you," Luffy requested, and Hancock nodded.

He then leaped into the air, not failing to notice someone watching him—his lover Margareth with a snake coiled around her neck. Clearly, he hadn't paid much attention to her or Laki, from the Shandians, in the past few days, but he would resolve that later.

All Luffy could think about now was seeing his beloved brother after so many years, while he continued moving forward, ignoring everyone else as he headed toward one side of the city, already tracking him with his Haki.

"..." Sabo simply smiled as he looked up at the sky, seeing someone advancing toward him at high speed.

Landing in front of him, Koala and Hack became slightly alert. As a shadow approached them, Sabo walked forward with a smile.

"Sabo..." Luffy's voice emerged from the smoke, rushing toward him.

"Luffy!" Sabo said, also moving toward Luffy.

Both walked toward each other, closing the distance with a joyful smile on their faces until they finally met in a warm embrace, while Koala and Hack watched the sudden reunion unfold.

Luffy truly missed Sabo as he hugged him tightly. Maybe not as exaggerated as the original Luffy in their reunion at the coliseum, but certainly with the same feeling of having reunited with a long-lost brother, whom for many years he thought was dead.

They parted slightly after a moment, still beaming with smiles. "Look at you, you've grown," Luffy said, punching him lightly on the chest in a friendly manner.

"I've grown? Look at you, Luffy. To think that the brat who caused the most trouble in the Goa Kingdom is now in a position to move entire kingdoms into these waters, even standing above kings. An emperor of the sea... you're not even 20 years old yet, you monster," Sabo said, laughing.

"Says the man who works with my father, the second in command of the force trying to destroy the World Government," Luffy retorted.

They stared at each other for a moment, saying nothing more before bursting into laughter at their comments. Luffy was genuinely thrilled to see him, and Sabo felt the same.

"Well, how about we go somewhere to talk?" Luffy suggested, as they were still in the middle of the city. Sabo nodded, glancing at his two companions behind him.

"I'll go with him; I'll be back soon," he said, and both nodded in agreement, watching the chief's son and Sabo take off toward the sky of Dressrosa.

Luffy wanted to leave, knowing that some of his crew would soon be looking for him, and he wanted some privacy with his brother for the moment.

They ended up leaving Dressrosa, heading to one of the islands Bepo had just landed. One of the islands inhabited by dinosaurs that seemed to be fighting among themselves, while others watched and roared as if they were in the middle of a championship.

"What is this?" Sabo looked astonished, seeing dinosaurs attacking each other almost like humans, even more surprised when they began using Haki to clash.

"Ah, these are our training materials," Luffy said with a laugh in the air, while Sabo remained confused but followed him nonetheless.

They landed in a corner of the island facing the open sea, as it was the opposite side of Dressrosa. "This place reminds me a lot of that cliff in Goa..." Sabo murmured with admiration, as it was the spot where they had declared themselves brothers and shared their dreams.

"Yeah... Come on, let's enjoy a drink of sake," Luffy said, pulling out a bottle from his system and offering it to Sabo, sitting down beside him. Sabo accepted, ready to share a drink with Luffy after so long.

"You know, we intercepted some Navy communicators. They've sent a powerful group. A ship with great forces is approaching, and there's already some force gathering near these waters," Sabo warned him.

"A powerful group... I bet there's only one admiral available. Or is Akainu coming here too? But I don't think that's the case," Luffy looked at Sabo with narrowed eyes. "That man is coming, isn't he?" He smiled.

"Yes, Grandpa is coming," Sabo murmured, a bit embarrassed. He used to call Garp 'Grandpa' too, back when they lived in the Bandit Mountains, so it was easy to feel a little uncomfortable for still keeping that habit.

"Well, that sounds interesting. Lucy is already on her way here anyway. All that's missing is Ace," Luffy commented. "Have you been in contact with him?"

"Yes, Luffy, but things aren't going well for his group. I wanted to help them, but there's so much happening on this side, and Dragon can't send many troops at a time like this. You know the government is preparing to gather all the affiliated kingdoms..." he said.

"I know that, although none of my territories will participate... And I plan to help Ace as soon as my war in Wano ends," Luffy said.

"So, you're confident you can defeat two Yonkous?" Sabo smiled.

"Not just confident. I know I will win once and for all. I'll take Wano, then head to Egghead and dock in Elbaf to get the last Poneglyph... Because it's very likely from there I'll head to the end of this sea and claim the One Piece for myself..." Luffy spoke firmly, while Sabo looked at him with a certain admiration.

"Well, if you plan to do it, it's going to happen. In the end, you've definitely surpassed all of us," he murmured, gazing at Luffy with admiration.

"Almost all. Lucy might still surprise everyone," Luffy commented, wanting his sister to be as strong as him.

"I miss her too... I really want to see her," Sabo murmured, looking at the horizon.

"She'll probably cry a lot when she sees you..." Luffy smiled. "Anyway, brother, I have a gift for you," he suddenly said, as Sabo looked at him, surprised.

"I know it's still a bit early, but even so, I already want to give this to you." Luffy wasted no time as he took out an Akuma no Mi and tossed it to Sabo.

"This is..." Sabo was confused, not recognizing the fruit but surprised to receive it from Luffy so suddenly after their reunion.

"This is the fruit of Ramuh, the Eikon of Thunder. It's the only fruit in its category that no one has eaten," Luffy explained.

"Hey, like those beasts you guys can transform into? Is this fruit one of them?" Sabo murmured, surprised, knowing how valuable it was, a mythical Zoan, staring at it intently.

"Yes. It will grant you the power of the Eikon of Thunder. It will help you on your journey too, brother. Ace already has his fire fruit, Lucy has a God's fruit, I already have two fruits, so you're the only one left," Luffy said, teasing.

Sabo, though confused by the mention of Lucy's fruit, didn't ask about it. He just stared at the fruit in his hands, making a decision.

"Alright then." Sabo didn't think twice. This was a way to further increase his strength, and he trusted Luffy with his life. If Luffy said this fruit was for him, Sabo wouldn't hesitate to accept it.

In the end, Luffy nodded and simply smiled, watching as Sabo ate piece by piece, grimacing in disgust as if he wanted to vomit.

"Congratulations, brother. Now you're an Eikon like us," Luffy said with an even bigger smile. "Anyway, there's one thing you didn't know... you're going to go crazy during your first full transformation..."

"I'm going to go crazy?" Sabo looked at Luffy, surprised.

"Yes, but I have a method to prevent that, one I used on my entire crew. You just need to transform into your beast. I think this island can be used for that if you want to do it now..." Luffy suggested.

Still confused, Sabo asked, "And what method is that, Luffy?" He sensed something wasn't right, while Luffy opened a mischievous smile.

"Well... I plan to beat you up," Luffy said.
