Journey to One Piece

24. Revolutionary Army

"The people are safe!! Hurray, we did it. We have completed the A grade mission!!" Luffy jumped in joy as he was excited. All the past days of handwork paid off. Ace and Sabo too smiled along with others who were present. They didn't understand what this mission was but they were grateful that they were saved.

"You guys, after the fire burns out, break the wall and then go out. I don't think we will have to help you in this too, right?" Ace asked as he put his iconic 'young master' arrogant expression.

"Hai Hai... Don't worry Mr. Ace. We will be able to go out." One person said with fear as he was one of those who was punched by Ace before. Now he wanted to make it up to him by flattery.

"Tch.. Let's leave." Sabo said as he jumped on the wall. Luffy looked dejected a bit.

"I thought there would be a banquet. I am hungry." Luffy said.

"Bastard you just ate a few hours ago and you want a banquet?" Ace was angry.

"What do you know? There are so many people there. We could have fun while eating meat."

Ace and Luffy had started fighting as they hopped away from The Gray Terminal. Ken was still overlooking everything. Before he had met Naguri before and gave away some of the money for him to complete his ship. After all, Naguri helped him a bit with his Haki training. He deserved that.

Sabo was particularly sad seeing the Gray Terminal like this. He wanted to change the world but didn't know how. He desperately needed to do something. They returned back to Dadan's place.

At night Sabo sneaked away. Ken, who was sleeping, opened his eyes. His Kenbunshoku had warned him that Sabo was leaving. Ken followed him only to see that Sabo was standing at the cliff looking at the distant sea.

Ken came from behind and said

"Thinking to committing suicide? You won't die with your current body."

"Hahaha.. Of course not. I was just thinking how to change the world?" Sabo didn't seem to be surprised that Ken followed him. His ninja sense was high enough now to know and Ken didn't hide himself anyway.

"Do I really have to push him in that direction?" Ken thought. After much deliberation, Ken said

"There is a special group of people named the revolutionary army. They want to subvert the world and bring a new era to this world. If you want to change the world, then maybe you can join them?"

"Revolutionary? I heard about them. Aren't they the most cruel terrorists in the world?"

"Don't believe everything you read in your home. Go to the sea and then decide for yourself."

"You want me to join them? Why?" Sabo said as he easily chose to believe the words of Ken.

"I have very little knowledge about them. But I feel like this group might be able to save you from yourself. The pain which you are feeling may be able to help you."

"You know my pain?" Sabo asked. He really was in pain after seeing what his own family had done just in the name of power. They were the kinds of people who could sell their soul just for more power. He wanted to change that.

"It was apparent in your face.They will be here soon as they have some work here. You can take this chance and go with them." Sabo was surprised that Ken knew of this too. The marines were searching for them for such a long time and this guy just easily exposed them

Ken was more mysterious than he looked.

"Maybe his devil fruit isn't as simple as he explained." Sabo thought.

There was silence for quite a few minutes as Sabo looked at the dark sea ahead and stars above.

"Will we be brothers if I leave now for them?"

"We will be brothers forever. Haven't we promised that?" Ken laughed.

"Then how shall I find them?" Sabo asked.

"They will be here to take away the people who are supposed to be dead in the fire. Your ninja practice is high enough. Go to them and say you want to join their army." Ken said.

"Okay." After waiting a few more minutes they returned.

The next day they were back at the Gray Terminal to see if their mission was fine. And when they saw a huge hole in a makeshift round wall, they rejoiced. The people who were supposed to be in the Gray Terminal just vanished.

Sabo then took the courage and spoke of his decision to join the revolutionary army. Ace and Luffy were dumbfounded and then Luffy started crying as he felt Sabo didn't consider them as brothers.

Sabo had to calm him down and explain to him why he took that decision. After much reluctance Luffy accepted the words of Sabo.

"I will go and see how good this Revolutionary Army is?" Ace declared only to be punched by Ken.

"Your meagre skills will bring you death if you confront them."

"They are that powerful?"

"Even Ace can't beat them? They must be very good." Luffy really considered Ace as powerful as he could never beat him. Even with his ninjutsu. His special eyes were a real menace for Luffy. The 4 brothers went to the pirate cove and looked over from the cliff. There they could see a huge ship docked and from far Ace used his eyes to see if the people from the Gray Terminal were there.

He heaved in relief to see everyone was fine. He could also see some people moving in the ship. Though there were no chakra in this world, Ace could tell from his eyes that some of the people here were really powerful.

"Yosh!! Brothers I am leaving early to change the world. I hope to see you soon." Sabo said as he hugged Luffy as he started crying. Ace too had tears in his eyes when he hugged Sabo. They were doing this for their dreams.

Ken hugged Sabo and whispered in his ears.

"The man who controls the Revolutionary Army is the father of Luffy. You can talk about it with him when the time is right. Don't tell Luffy this. He still isn't ready to hear this." Sabo had his eyes wide open when he got this new information. After the event at Gray Terminal it seemed like Ken seemed to know everything.

If it was any other person, they would have termed Ken as idiot and delusional but only they know that whatever Ken said was the truth. Ken was their brother so this guy would never betray them.
