CHAPTER 27
"Very well then. I will proceed to surveillance around the area. Where you both want to go to next?" Dragon asked.
"Well, Dragon san I'm going to Alabasta for a little trip but is it alright for me using your symbol as a tattoo? I kind of like it." Sab replied.
"Suit yourself. You are my Chief of Staff and second command of the Revolutionary Army pack here. Although you generally are our leader as you are our Queen after all." Dragon said.
"Revolutionary Army is your pack before I'm become your queen. So they are your command. I better be the second. It is good that way. Enemy won't know who lead them." Sab explained earning a smile on Dragon face.
"Wise decision my queen." Dragon said.
Karasu just had his jaws drop down animatedly. His mind still try to process what he seen in front of them. Sab talking leisurely with Revolutionary pack Dragon. The other commanders didn't interrupt their conversation. A guy with a long curly light brown hair reaching at the tip of his shoulder and wearing bowler hat with a teal of feather walking toward his comrade. Sab saw him and greet him with a big smile.
"Bunny Joe!" Sab shouted and ignoring Dragon making Karasu sweat drop.
"Chief! It's been a long time. Who's with you?" Bunny Joe asked.
"Oh, that Karasu my bestie. Bunny Joe can you help me?" Sab introduced him to Karasu and asking him for a little favour.
"What is it Chief?" Bunny Joe asked.
"Give this letter to Koala and Hack." Sab give the letter to Bunny Joe. Bunny Joe just nod and told her that she give it later after he grab some lunch. Sab agreed and greeting Ivankov in the process.
"Sabo, you know she gonna burst out if she read it." Ivankov sweat drop.
"Yup I know but at least I'm honest this time." Sab replied making Karasu rolled his eyes.
"Yup, pretty honest..." Karasu said making Sab glare at him with annoyed.
"Well then, we need to get going. We have other things to do. See you all soon." Sab said and both she and Karasu walk out into the forest nearby before Karasu turn into crow and flew them away from there.
Koala and Hack working in the backyard trimming the camellia flower plants. Most of the bud start coming out and when the Blue Moon Festival come, the flowers will start to bloom. They decide to use the flowers as decoration. Bunny Joe walk leisurely toward the backyard without noticing Killer and Kid trail him from behind. They become suspicious when Bunny Joe just walk in without even asking to come in.
Bunny Joe tiptoe toward the backyard without Koala and Hack noticing him. A smile plaster on his face. When he come closer toward Koala back, Killer jump in and catch him from behind making Koala, Hack and Bunny Joe surprise.
"Who are you?!" Killer pointed his claw toward Bunny Joe throat.
"Killer let him go!" Koala demanded earning a stare from Kid.
"Don't worry his our friend." Hack interrupted.
"Friend? Acting suspicious like that? Are you sure?" Kid glared at Bunny Joe.
"Yes he is. Killer let him go now." Koala said.
"Fine." Killer let Bunny Joe go. He glare at him still not trusting him.
"What in the world you doing here? Where your not suppose to?" Koala said with annoyed.
"Here, a letter from the chief. Just want to deliver this to both of you. Chief told me to give it to you personally. I take my leave now." Bunny Joe give the letter to Koala and turn himself into a black wolf and run toward the forest nearby. Killer and Kid surprise to see the black wolf making them look toward Koala demand her explanation.
"His from Revolutionary pack." Kid stated.
"Yes. I know both of you suspicious with them but they are nice. It just that what they believe isn't the same as we think." Koala said while Hack agree with her.
"How do you know?" Kid asked.
"Both of us are one of the Revolutionary pack." Hack answered making Killer widen his eyes and look toward Koala. Koala rolled her eyes.
"We join them before we move in with you Killer. They have what we need to help others in needs." Koala stated making both Kid and Killer thinks.
"Your not mad are you?" Koala asked with hesitation.
"No. But be careful will you. Sometime I think Sab have influence you too much. Her recklessness really making me worry sometime." Killer replied. A smile plaster on Koala face. Hack also feel relief.
"So what why do your chief send a personal letter to you?" Killer asked.
"I don't know. I read out." Koala replied and read the letter out loud.
Dear Koala Hack,
If you read this letter, know that I am far from this kingdom right now.
I'm sorry for not telling the truth about myself.
I'm guess that if Kid and Killer also reading this letter, tell them I'm sorry for suddenly missing without a trace.
I'll be back soon with Blacky before the Blue Moon Festival that is.
Tell Makino I'm sorry because I can't help her to prepare for the festival. Something coming up and it is urgent.
I hope Kid not grumpy after he read this letter. I can imagine his face pouting right now.
See you all soon.
Your Chief Of Staff,
Sabo.
P.s : Don't kill Bunny Joe. He doesn't know anything about it.
Rage. That what they can tell by looking at Koala now. She really fuming angrily at the letter in her hand. Hack, Kid and Killer sweat drop after Koala cursing out with anger.
"SHE'S OUR CHIEF!? I CAN BELIEVE SHE WITH US ALL ALONG! SHE'S GONNA PAY FOR IT AFTER SHE'S COME BACK!" Koala said and stomp into the house angrily.
"There's won't be dinner tonight I guess. Let's dine out. I get her after she cool down." Hack said while Kid and Killer agreed.
'Second in Command eh?' Kid thought while trailing behind Killer and Hack into the house.
Ann and Sab walk into the tattoo shop at the Alabasta Market. Karasu follow them from behind and sigh when both twin chatting excitedly to have their tattoo on their back. He know the two of them are not ordinary girl he meet. Both of them really have their own crazy antics. No girls will talk about tattooing their body with excitement. Yet this two girls plus a royal kind didn't mind at all.
"You know if your father see both of your tattoo he will be mad." Karasu interrupted.
"Nah, dad won't mad at us but mum will. But if we tell her why she gonna find it romantic." Ann said making Sab laughed.
"And that time dad will go rage out and try to kill them." Sab said making Karasu sweat drop.
"Pity on your mate. I hope they survive." Karasu said earning a giggle from the twin.
After getting their tattoo, they heading toward the royal Palace. Luckily they meet Koza on their way toward the Palace entrance.
"Koza!" Ann shouted making the guy turned around. He surprise to see them here.
"Your alive?" Koza widen his eyes.
"Well, lead us to Vivi will you? We need a matter to discuss." Sab said making Koza smile.
"Very well follow me." Koza bring him into the Palace and taking them to see Vivi and her father Cobra.
They walk into the dining room where Vivi and her father eating lunch. Koza interrupt them and making Vivi jump up hugging the twin with relief. Cobra also feel relief when he see the Raftel princess are safe.
"Vivi don't hug too tight. Our back still hurt." Ann said try loosen out from Vivi hug.
"Both of you hurt? I don't know. I'm so sorry. Let's our doctor check the wounds." Vivi panicking while Cobra feel alert.
"They didn't hurt princess just both of them get tattoo on their back while ago." Karasu replied.
"YOU DID WHAT?!" Vivi yelled making Cobra, Koza, Karasu, Ann and Sab cringed.
"Seriously, you just come here to get a tattoo?" Koza commented.
"Nope, we have other things in mind. But your people tattoo artist is the best here." Ann said making Cobra raise his eyebrow with wonder.
"They don't want to get at other kingdom tattoo shop because both of them incognito." Karasu reply earning a glare from the both twin.
"What? It is the truth." Karasu added.
"Incognito? Care to share? And who are you? " Cobra asked.
"Pardon me. I'm Karasu their bodyguard." Karasu replied while pointing toward the twin.
"We don't need any bodyguard." Ann and Sab said in unison.
"He is our friend. I told you many time already Blacky." Sab added with a pouted.
"So, care to share their incognito for?" Cobra amused with them.
"Fire Fist Ace and Blue Gentleman... Ring any bell?" Karasu smirked. Vivi widen her eyes looking at the twin while Koza and Cobra drop out their jaws.
"SERIOUSLY?! What the heck are both of you doing exactly?" Cobra shouted out.
"We will tell you later. Can we crash here for a week? We have a lot of thing to tell you and we got some plan to get our kingdom back. We also need to let our back heal first before heading back." Sab answered. Cobra look at the two Princess in front of him. He sighed.
"Very well, Vivi can you arrange their accommodation here? Let them rest first. We can talk later. Koza can you restock our food? You know how much they eat." Cobra ordered.
"I go with him. At least that I can do to help here." Karasu offered.
"Thanks Blacky. Both of you be careful. We didn't know there will be Akainu spies among them. We lucky we introduced ourself as traveller from the Whitebeard Kingdom and Akagami Kingdom. Called me Sabbie for now. And she is Annie. That way we won't be too suspicious." Sab explained.
"Well there isn't many traveller from the other kingdom. I am honour to have the three of you as our guests." Cobra played along making Sab and Ann smile.
"We been honour to get to be the royal guests here." Sab and Ann Bow down respectively. They smile widely.
"Come I show you to your room." Vivi smile also play along with their drama. The three of them heading toward the guest room while Karasu going with Koza to get some food for restock.
Somewhere in Akagami Kingdom...
"MEAT!" Luffy running toward the tavern without care of an angry shouted from Law and a frozen up Corazon behind him.
"Cora-san, you can talk! Just drop the habit already." Law said with annoyed.
"Sorry Law. Old habit die hard. Come let's go get Lucy before she havoc the place." Corazon said sheepishly. Law face-palm.

The guy turned toward Benn making Benn blinking with wonder. He recognised the guy. What make him wonder is how is he end up here.
