CHAPTER 26
Whitebeard sighed. He really afraid thing like this will happen. The other commanders look at him with hope. Marco and Thatch in front of him waiting for his order. Both determine to find Ace and drag him back to the kingdom.
"Oyaji..." Thatch pleaded.
"The Blue Moon Festival will be held at Akagami Kingdom this year and it is three week away from now. Marco, Thatch, Izo and Namur I want the four of you to go there and help with the festival. I will come to the festival before it start with the other commanders." Whitebeard said making both of them unsatisfied.
"but Oyaji... Ace... " Izo protested.
"Oyaji yoi..." Marco pleaded.
"My son, I cannot break my promise to Roger even if it to ally with Ace to fight back. But you are different. You my son and I always be with you." Whitebeard said. Marco look at Whitebeard while thinking his word. A smile carve on Marco face. He understand the message Whitebeard give to him.
"I hope you all can help them prepare the Blue Moon Festival well." Whitebeard give back Ace letter to Marco while letting the wolf drawing been seen toward Marco. Marco look at the drawing and smile. He know what Whitebeard tell him.
"But oyaji... Ace..." Thatch still unsatisfied.
"Get prepare now. The sooner we get there, the sooner we can help them yoi." Marco said.
Izo cocked her eyebrow. Namur blink while Thatch look at Marco with surprise. Izo stare at Marco. There a hint Marco send to them. Izo sighed while Namur look at Marco.
"Very well then, meet you at the front an hour later." Izo said and drag Thatch along to get prepare.
"I go tell them to prepare the carriage. Meet you there after." Namur said earning a nod from Marco.
"Marco, be safe. I'm always watching your back. Bring him back safely." Whitebeard said.
"Thanks oyaji. I will yoi." Marco replied fondly.
"Okashira! Okashira! Captain! Captain!" Lucky Roux and Yasopp run toward the throne room in hurried.
Shanks, Makino, Ben, Kid, Killer and Sab still talking stop when they hear the two commander running toward them. Karasu, Heat and Whitey also wonder when the two commander panting after stopping in front of Shanks.
"What happen?" Benn asked.
"The guy... The guy Sabo encountered been spotted." Lucky Roux said making them alarm.
"Where is he?" Sab said angrily while her eyes changing into slit making other shiver to see her eyes. That's one dangerous eyes they have seen.
"The problem is that guy known as Doflamingo was defeated and been held by our soldier at the East territory. Luckily Rockstar is there to watch him if he awake and get havoc. They found him been chain up and beaten up." Yasopp answered.
"Who's taking him there?" Kid asked.
"A guy with strawhat accompanied by two guy. One with black spot hat and the other one a taller guy with a makeup on his face wearing a red hood with black feather. They never introduce themselves and just told the soldiers to bring him back to this kingdom for our own judgement." Yasopp added.
"Where are they now?" Sab asked.
"They already gone. The soldiers try to surrounded them but they said they frozen up and some of them unconscious when the Strawhat guy look at them. They just see the three of them leave them there without looking back." Lucky Roux interrupted.
"The submit..." Shanks said. A smile plaster on his face. A fond and pride one.
"Is that the guy you trust with your hat and arm?" Benn looked at his captain making other turn toward him.
"Yes. I heard he make chaos all over the three kingdom." Shanks said.
"He is the Strawhat Pirate leader, isn't he?" Sab stated. Shanks nod making Sab smile. She planning something making Karasu change into his human form looking at Sab with annoy.
"I know that smile of you Sabbie." Karasu stated.
"What? That's one of the plan." Sab said making Karasu face-palm. Killer sweat drop.
"You still want to carry on that plan of yours? I heard from Koala about that crazy plan of your." Killer said.
"Worth to try." Sab said with a smile making Karasu sighed.
"But how can he have the Submit?" Sirius said also change into human form surprising Kid.
"Sirius..." Kid snarled. Sirius back off. Sab smacked Kid at his back head making Kid growl with annoyed. The other sweat drop.
"What Wolfy said is true. How can a guy have the submit? Isn't the Queen Wolf the only one have that kind of power? Who is he actually?" Sab stated making the other also think about it. Sab look at Karasu.
Shanks smile. Benn notice it. He knew Shanks know something about it but didn't tell the other about it. Maybe he has a reason not telling anyone about it.
"Sab, I been thinking and I apologise on behalf of my kingdom. We cannot be ally with you. My people are my family and I don't want to harm them. But if they insist to come with you I will not stop them. Every decision we made is on our own responsibility." Shanks said. Sab look at Shanks with understanding.
"I'm understand my king. Thanks for being honest to me." Sab said and bow with respect.
"The Blue Moon Festival coming up. You can help us prepare it. Most of the commanders from both Kingdom will come to the event. Even the King itself." Benn added making Sab smile. She understand the message Benn try to give her.
"I'm will be honour to participate." Sab replied. A smile plaster on her face. Karasu groaned. Shanks glare at his first mate while Benn smirking. Kid and Killer look at each other not knowing about the situation. Makino, Sirius and Whitey just as lost as Kid as.
A ring from den den mushi distracting them. Sab excuse herself to take the call because she knew the one that call her is her twin, Ann. She walk toward the garden in the nick of time and sit under the tree to answer the call.
"What?!!!" Sab shouted making Ann cringed and putting the den den mushi far away from her ear.
"What in the world you doing that?" Sab still at shocked.
"Calm down Sab. It's not I'm gonna left the kingdom forever. Just after we defeat Akainu, I will stay there even if Marco didn't want to see my face. At least I don't want him to get kill." Ann explained.
"Where are you now?" Sab asked.
"I'm at Alabasta. I want to negotiate with Vivi and her father about what we plan earlier. And I just have a crazy idea to get a tattoo... Maybe..." Ann answered with hesitation.
"Tattoo?" Sab asked curiously.
"Well, It kind of cool when I saw the other have tattoo on their body..." Ann said shyly.
"Oh, our Ace want a tattoo to show to Marco." Sab teased making Ann blushed.
"Hey! Not... Not like that..." Ann denied making Sab laughed.
"Fine. Can you wait for me? I want to get one too. I go with Blacky. There something I want to add for our plan." Sab said.
"Getting a tattoo to annoyed Kid?" Ann teased back.
"Yup. Pissing him off is the best." Sab replied making Ann sweat drop.
"Where do you intend to put the tattoo?" Ann asked.
"Well, at the back of cause. Same place where you want to put it." Sab stated. Ann rolled her eyes.
"You one psycho sister I have. Kid gonna be crazy guy for being a mate with you. Pity on him." Ann said earning a laugh from Sab.
"Alright then, tell me your location we meet there. Don't go off without me." Sab said and Ann tell Sab about her location. After that, she hang up.
Sab searching for Karasu and found him sitting on the balcony of her room looking at the blue sky. She approached him making Karasu turned toward her with a smile.
"Princess..." He greet making Sab pouted.
"Blacky can you fly me toward Alabasta?" Sab asked.
"What for?" Karasu asked back.
"I need to meet Ann there." Sab answered.
"Annie?" Karasu wondered.
"Yup and I need to go to that one place before we go to Alabasta." Sab said. Karasu nod.
"Do we need to tell them about it?" Karasu asked again.
"I send someone to tell them later." Sab replied. She already have her backpack and her weapon pipe on her back.
"I pack for both of us. Let's go now." Sab said.
"Very well then. As you wish Kraliçe." Karasu bowed and turned himself into a crow. Big enough for Sab to sit on him. Some crow already flying around them. Sab sit on him with a pride on her face. That the only secret both of them knew. Not even Sirius and Whitey know about Karasu ability to turned into a black crow. Both of them flew without other notice them leaving the Palace. They headed toward direction Sab asked him to before planning to fly to Alabasta.
~To be continue...
AN: Karasu has the ability to turned into a crow. He know it when he was a kid and didn't use the ability until he meet Sab. Even his brother Heat and his family, Whitey and Arisa didn't know about his little secret. Sab, Ann and Lu know his ability and they keep the secret among themselves.
