Hi, I'm having some annoying problems with my computer recently, can anyone help? I can't open this website on google anymore, it's blocked, what do I do? I'm stuck using Microsoft Edge, but now that can't open it either.

It's really annoying.

Here's the chapter, though.


Chapter 10

A few days later, in the afternoon…

The three brats had been talking to Marco and Thatch, and suddenly, Sabo stood up and with a face full of confusion.

"Sabo?" Luffy asked as he extended his Haki.

"Isn't that the fishman?" Ace asked, recognizing the aura.

"Yes." Sabo said shortly.

There was a geyser of water that almost landed on the deck, and a Fishman appeared panting heavily on deck. "Chief-" Seeing the company, he cut himself off. "Boss wants you back at base!" He gasped.

"Hack!" Sabo asked in concern. "What happened? Why didn't you call?"

"Our den dens are believed to be compromised, base is under attack, Boss wants everyone back."

"Damn it." Sabo cursed. "I have to go, Ace, Lu. How bad is it?" He asked Hack as he went to collect his gear. "I'll try to be back soon!" He called at Ace and Luffy. "Damn marines." He muttered under his breath, too light for anyone to hear.

He jumped overboard with the Fishman and they left, waves forming in their wake.

"Come on, Lu, let's do some more basics." Ace stood and said it as if nothing had happened."

"Uh… What happened?"

"Sabo's work keeps him very busy." Ace clarified. "This happens all the time."

"Yep." Luffy said. "And he always comes back soon. If he doesn't, we'll go after him."

"Right. So nothing to worry about." Ace shot them a look that said to shut it, then he shot a concerned glance at Luffy.

"Your brother's a marine?" Haruta blurted out.

"What?!" Ace looked at her in a weird way.

"So is he here to spy?" Another pressed.

Aces shoulders started to flicker slightly with fire. "How dare you accuse him of being a marine!" He shouted.

"But he probably is!" Someone shouted back.

"No he isn't!" Luffy join in. "Marines are stupid!"

"Then what is he?"

"We don't see the need to inform you." Ace shot out.

"Then he must be a marine! Or a government agent!" Haruta argued. "So he can't come back!"

"Yeah!" Lots of pirates agreed.

Ace seemed to shrink slightly. "Then we'll leave." He said quietly. "Let's find our Uncle or something, Lu."

"Wait, Ace!" Marco cut in, appearing on deck just in time to hear Haruta's hasty declaration, but he was too late to stop them from leaving.

Ace shoved him aside, grabbed his briefcase and turned it into the boat he nicknamed Striker. "It's been good. Thanks for everything." With his face drawn, he boarded the ship and beckoned at Luffy, who followed him silently.

Ace summoned fire at his feet and the Striker roared to life and was gone in an instant.

"What are we going to tell Oyaji?" Thatch muttered.

"The truth." Marco marched to his Captain's room.

The entire ship was somber after what had happened. Unknowingly, the three brats had crept into everyone's hearts, had become their family. And now that they were gone, they felt the silence sorely.

"I miss them." Haruta admitted to Marco. "And I shouldn't have been so hasty."

"Everyone is at fault. Not just you, Haru."

The next morning, Sabo arrived to a completely silent ship, looking like he hadn't slept a minute the past night and had hurried back as quickly as possible. "Where's Ace and Luffy?" He demanded when he arrived not seeing or sensing either.

Most of the pirates looked away guiltily.

"They left." Jozu muttered shortly.

"Are you a marine?" Haruta asked.

"That's why they left?"

"If you are, you won't be welcome here."

"Ah." Sabo said, nodding his understanding. "That's why they left, right? Ace dragged Luffy away, probably."

"Yes."

"Ace is very stubborn, you know. He refused to tell you exactly what I chose my career to be, right? No, I am not a marine." Sabo denied. "That was my fault, I had him sworn to secrecy."

"Then what are you?" Haruta questioned.

"If I said I was a son of Roger, what would you say?" Sabo folded his arms and awaited her response.

The pirates exchanged startled glances.

"No one cares who your parents are."

"And what if they were celestial dragons?" He pursued.

"Then we'd have to look at the son." Haruta answered.

Sabo smiled. "And if you were looking at me, or Ace or Lu?"

"Get to the point."

"I'm not a marine. Like I would ever be one." Sabo snorted in disdain. "I'm part of the Revolutionary Army."

There was a pregnant pause.

Sabo had not worried about the info getting out as only the commanders were on deck. Besides, would the Marines really believe the word of notorious pirates? He found it unlikely. And besides, the marines had already gotten wind of his new position. So there was no problem there.

"What?" Thatch gasped, reacting a little late.

"Interesting."

"Chief?" Jozu questioned, thinking back to the fishman's words. "Of intelligence?"

"No… Good try, though."

"Then what?"

"Of arms? Someone else offered halfheartedly.

Sabo shook his head.

"The Revolutionary Army finally got a Chief of Staff, didn't they?" Haruta asked questioningly. Though she didn't really think he could be the second in command of the bunch of powerful, but in her opinion slightly wacko people under Dragon, Ace was abnormal. So his brother could possibly, too.

"At your service." Sabo bowed slightly, shocking many pirates.

"You're a son of the World Nobles?" Marco guessed. Why else would he asked those questions? He didn't look anything like Roger...

"Maybe."

"I am too!" Thatch waved excitedly. "Let's share stories!"

Sabo was slightly startled at him warm response. "So you aren't going to hate me?"

"We told you we'd look at the kid, right?" Haruta murmured.

"Yeah." Sabo adjusted his hat. "Sorry, I need to chase down the two idiots. Feel free to follow me."


That is all, please help, if you can...
