VirtualReality!AU. When Celestial introduces One Piece's new Special Events, Sabo starts to suspect that something's amiss. He needs answers, but what he finds is more disturbing than he'd imagined. He has to let the people know, but he may come to regret ever publishing what he's found because when you Play with Dragons... you might get Burned. (No Major Pairings, Slow Build)

Sabo survives the encounter with Saint Jalmack and is fished out of the water by some mountain bandits. Years later, a different Sabo sets sail with his younger brother Monkey D. Luffy to form the Straw Hat Pirates, bringing along his rifle Bonnie Anne. See how the story you know goes differently when Luffy has his brother on board.

Leading a double life is never easy. With friends in the slums and a family of nobility, Luffy hides his lineage to keep up the guise that he's a resident of Low Town, hoping to one day find a boy from his past and repay him for what he did all those years ago. But Whitebeard, the largest underground power around, is searching for him. And Sabo, his brother, wants to know why.
