1. Information Dealer
Sabo had set out as soon as he heard about the execution of his older brother Ace. Before he left he grabbed a thick file from his desk detailing all of Kaido's dirty dealings including the information on who the world infamous joker was.
He arrived just as Sengoku was about to reveal Aces true heritage. Acting fast He dropped down onto the wall nearest the platform unseen. "I wouldn't do that if I were you Fleet admiral!" and to punctuate his statement he threw two daggers at the executioners standing on either side of his brother. Both struck their marks and killed the guards just as he finished speaking.
Sengoku had just been about to announce Ace's heritage when he was interrupted by someone speaking and two crashes. He looked toward the voice and almost dropped the Den Den Mushi. His eyes flared wide and his mouth dropped down. "where did you come from?" he demanded to know. By now everyone was looking at the newcomer with various expressions of confusion and shocked recognition.
Sabo smiled darkly "I came from the Revolutionaries as a representative of Monkey D. Dragon. I have been sent to make you an offer." Sengoku scowled "I have no time to listen to a Dealer so shut up and leave you have no business here information dealer." he snarled.
Sabo smirked back at him. "Oh but that's where your wrong. You see that man on the platform there is my hot headed older brother Portgas D. Ace." he then stood up at full height. "My name is Outlook Sabo! Remember that" he roared even as he shouted his name he was keeping an eye on the pirates who were still fighting their way toward the platform.
He could also sense that several marines were making their way toward him in a flanking maneuver. He then looked at Sengoku who was looking at him in dawning horror that was easy to see to everyone present and to everyone watching all over the world. Then he remembered something.
"Whitebeard my younger brother Luffy is on his way here in a stolen marine warship and about 2 to 3 hundred escaped prisoners from Impel Down. Please do me a favor and corral him. He is easy to recognize. He is wearing a straw hat. In fact that's his title Straw hat Luffy." he shouted. Whitebeard nodded shocking his men. "very well I will have my men support him when he arrives. He had better not let me down." He answered.
Sabo smirked. "Luffy is a D what do you expect from them." Once he was done speaking to Whitebeard he turned toward the men moving toward him and pulled out a wind dial and turned it on just as they appeared around the corner. The blast from the wind dial sent all of them flying back over the edge of the wall and out of sight.
He then turned back to Sengoku. "you know who I am and What I can do so I suggest a trade." Sengoku scowled even harder. "what could you possibly have that could make me release my prisoner before his execution." he asked while signaling his men to stand down temporarily. While this was going on Ace was staring at Sabo in shock. "that's not possible Sabo is dead" he shouted at the man.
He was ignored while the other two focused on each other. Sabo pulled out the thick binder that he had carried since he left his base in the new world. "I have in my hand a file on a Certain Yonko detailing all of his crimes the locations of all of his criminal operations and the true Identity of the man that scares even you sometimes." he responded with a cold smile.
He pulled out a piece of paper from the file. "have your seagull come get this. Consider this a taste of the information on the Yonko I am speaking of" Sengoku nodded then sent his seagull to get it. Sabo handed the paper over with a friendly smile. The Seagull with paper in hand than returned to Sengoku and dropped into his hands.
While this was happening the battlefield was quiet. Most everyone knew who Sabo was and what he was capable of doing if angered so no one moved or said anything not even the pirates moved. They all waited with baited breath for the Fleet Admiral to speak.
As he read the paper Sengoku's eyes widened and his skin color paled dramatically. He then gulped and looked at Sabo. "Is this real" he asked. "every word Fleet Admiral" Sabo answered grimly. Sengoku nodded "Very well we have a deal come and take your brother information dealer." he announced. he than turned to face the marines and pirates who were watching.
"This war is over! All marines stand down immediately." He roared. There was total silence for a full 20 seconds than people started to react some shouted questions (Both pirates and marines.) some cheered (Pirates) and some tried to deny that the order had just been given. (marines). Sabo smiled inwardly. Outwardly his face was expressionless and his eyes were stone cold.
He stood up and nodded at whitebeard. He than used Soru to jump to Ace's side. Once there he turned to Sengoku who had just used the key to release Ace. "here is the binder. Just remember that all it takes is one word from me and all of that information is ruined if you try to betray me." he remarked. It went without saying that the word would be the Identity of the Yonko that he had just screwed over.
He than put the binder on the floor than turned to Ace who was staring at him in shock. "Alright Ace its time to go. I know you have questions and I promise to answer them once we reach the Moby Dick." he explained as he put his hand on Aces shoulder and guided him toward the stairs. Just as they stared to descend Sengoku spoke up.
"Wait dealer before you go I must know something." Sabo turned to him but said nothing. He just raised a blonde eyebrow. "what did this man do to piss you off to such an extent that you would reveal all of this information to me?" Sengoku asked. Again there was silence it seemed that almost everyone wanted to know why such an infamous dealer would go against a Yonko.
"He double crossed and betrayed me.. He also did something that I can never forgive. If you want the answer to that than the information is in there. You will understand when you find it." he answered coldly. He then turned and resumed walking down the stairs. He still had his hand on Ace's shoulder. "Sabo" Ace started to speak but Sabo cut him off.
"Not now Later when we are on the Moby Dick and away from here with Luffy in tow." he growled as they walked past the Admirals and Vice Admirals. A few minutes later they reached the nearest pirate line and passed through.
Only then did Sabo take his hand off Ace's shoulder. Sabo said nothing as the two of them walked calmly to the ship already they were surrounded by several Whitebeard division commanders including Marco, Vista, and Haruta, the pirates were busy talking to each other and celebrating Fire Fist Aces release.
Just as they reached the Ice a large commotion drew their attention to the sky and to an unbelievable sight. "now why am I not surprised by him doing that?" Sabo wondered aloud as he watched Luffy and several hundred prisoners plummet out of the sky followed by a captured marine battleship.
Luckily the falling prison escapees and Luffy fell in the water and were quickly picked up by the waiting whitebeard fishmen. Jimbei also helped to get the hammers out of the water and onto the ice. Ace just gaped at Luffy and his group in shock.
