Chapter's Events:
—————————
"Uweeehn Douuun!" After being rescued and treated, Luffy was still crying like any child his age would.
"That's a bad habit, Ace!! You need to run when you're facing a real pirate!!! Why do you have such a death wish!!?" At the same time, Sabo expressed his discontent with Ace's actions.
"Haa… After this, Brewjam's crew won't leave us alone."
"They'll come after us!!" Sabo voiced his concern.
"I was so scared… I thought I was gonna die…" Luffy continued to cry loudly.
"Shut up! How long are you gonna cry!!? I hate weaklings and crybabies!! You piss me off!!" Seeing this, Ace became furious.Immediately, Luffy held his breath and shut his mouth in a comically exaggerated way.
"Thanks… Thanks… For saving… me… Uuhh…" Luffy thanked Ace in a tearful tone, which angered Ace once again.
"Why you…!!?"
"Hey!! He's just saying thanks!" This time, Sabo intervened.
"Why didn't you say anything!!? Those guys don't care about killing women and children!!!" Ace was furious with Luffy, who had nearly died because of his naivety.
"If I talked, you wouldn't be my friend…!!" Luffy replied.
"Even if I don't, it's better than dying, wouldn't it!!? Why do you want to be my friend so badly!!?"
"After what I did to you, why are you still following me around!!?" Ace asked in confusion.
"Because I have no one else!!!" Luffy's answer took Ace by surprise.
•———•———•———•———•
"Isn't that reason enough, my son?"
Rouge smiled as she noticed that the events were bringing Luffy and Ace closer after the incident.
"It's clear you still need more friends besides Sabo, isn't that right, my dear?"
"Loneliness is hard..."
Rouge bit her lip as she remembered how lonely Ace had been in the manga.
She touched her belly with an unmatched warmth.
"Luffy is right, being alone is far worse than being hurt."
Rouge's next words caught in her throat when she saw Ace's direct questions, coupled with his memories of how ordinary people viewed Roger's son as a demon's son.
Her eyes fell on the words of the ten-year-old boy, ("Do you want me to live?") Tears welled up in her eyes as she remembered Ace's final words at the moment of his death.
She wiped her tears silently and continued reading the chapter, a beautiful smile soon spreading across her face.
This chapter marked the true beginning of the bond of friendship and brotherhood between Luffy, Ace, and Sabo. The latter, Sabo, was a great source of curiosity for Rouge; she didn't know him as well as she knew Luffy, as he had appeared out of nowhere.
"I also didn't expect Dadan to be the foster mother of my child in that timeline… She must have a soft heart towards Ace."
With a gentle smile on her face, Rouge turned to the next page with growing interest.
Ace's story with the two other boys was incredibly heartwarming.
…
In Amazon Lily, the shock was still evident on Dadan's beautiful face.
Although some time had passed since she discovered the truth that 'she' and 'Dadan in the manga' were essentially the same person.
However, only a few close people knew this truth; it hadn't been widely shared, as most couldn't connect such a delicate beauty with the Dadan in the manga.
After all, the difference in years between her current appearance and the one shown in the manga was just a bit over ten years!
If someone had told her that if she hadn't met Rob, who gave her the youth-preserving potion as part of her reward for being a store goddess, she would have become like Dadan in the manga in just ten more years… she would have cursed and possibly hit them if they showed her a picture of Dadan in the manga.
But One Piece manga doesn't lie, which means she had taken a completely different path this time.
'But that doesn't mean I didn't want to be a foster mother to Ace and Luffy…' Her cheeks flushed as she thought about it, no doubt making many people envy Dadan in the manga.
Suddenly, her expression stiffened as she saw what the third boy named Sabo said in the manga.
•———•———•———•———•
"What the hell is this!!?"
Dadan's scream could be heard from outside the house.
"Ace!! Luffy!! Who's that!!? Why is there another brat here!!?"
Dadan glared at the short boy who greeted her with a smile.
"Yo! Dadan, right? I'm Sabo."
"Sabo!!? I know that name…"
"I've heard you're a no-good kid, too!!" Dadan exclaimed.
"Is that so… I heard that you were a no-good old hag, too!!"
Sabo replied with a smile, angering Dadan even more.
"That was uncalled for!!"
•———•———•———•———•
"Hahahaha!! I didn't know Sabo had such a sharp tongue."
"Jahahaha! He called her a no-good old hag! What a fitting comeback!"
...
..
"Fufu~ Why is your face turning red, Dadan?"
Shakky felt this was a golden opportunity to tease Dadan.
"Hahaha! I won't feel strange alone anymore, that feeling you get when you see your older counterpart in the manga, it's incredibly frustrating, isn't it?"
Gloriosa winked at Dadan as she said this.
"It's truly a frustrating feeling, elder sister Glora… but I sense that her nature is still quite kind," Dadan replied.
"What kind of nature are you talking about? So far, she seems like a typical bandit."
"But you might be right."
…
"No one would want to live alone…"
In the vast ocean where not a breath of wind stirred, the Calm Belt, the Moby Dick sailed quietly. Onboard, Whitebeard was holding the manga volume tightly.
Saying those words, it was unclear whether he agreed with Luffy's words or was speaking about himself.
The crew's gaze toward their father was warm; after the war arc and learning about their father's deepest desires, they had developed a clear understanding of this strong and caring father.
"Those three boys lived free lives since childhood… How do you plan to make them Marines, Garp? Even a dog that grows up free in the wild wouldn't want an owner when it matures."
"Hmm? A Celestial Dragon?"
"Really? Why would a Celestial Dragon go to Dawn Island?"
"This is strange… trouble must be brewing."
"Unfortunately, I still wanted to see Luffy, Sabo, and Ace enjoy their childhood."
At this point, the Whitebeard Pirates began to sigh in regret, for they knew what trouble the arrival of the Celestial Dragon to the trio's homeland would bring.
…
Marigoa, Domain of Gods:
"I didn't expect a third boy to appear."
Among the Celestial Dragons, Saint Mariald spoke with curiosity.
"Me neither! But this is interesting! The strange thing is, what happened to this Sabo… Why hasn't he appeared in the manga until now? Did something happen to him, I wonder."
Saint Jalmack also expressed his concern, for after all, the only explanation for Sabo's absence from previous events could be that he never got the chance to grow up in the first place.
The other Celestial Dragons looked at Saint Jalmack in shock; they hadn't thought of that at all.
"Oh! It seems that a Celestial Dragon will visit Luffy, Ace, and Sabo's homeland! Who could it be, I wonder!"
"Oh my God, one of us will get the golden opportunity to appear in the manga this time!"
"Ahh, I hope it's me or someone from my Charleston family!"
"I'm still jealous of the Rosward family that appeared earlier!"
"This time it will definitely be my family's turn."
