Chapter 138: Arc 11: The Fourth Brother, Sabo

After rescuing Luffy from Porchemy and with the threat of Blue Jam hovering over theirs heads, Sabo made the decision to hide out at Dadan's place for the time being.

The next morning, Dogra and Pochi gaped at the pair looked down at the three boys sprawled on the ground asleep.

"Why are they wounded?" Dogra wondered. "They're all bandaged."

"This is..." Magra spotted Sabo. "Boss! We have a problem!" he shouted.

"It's still early." Dadan held back a yawn. "What's wrong? What's going on here?" she was presented by the sight of the three sleeping boys. "Ace, Luffy, who is that?" she barked.

"Who is who?" Luffy muttered, sitting up and went back to sleep.

"It's still early." Ace drawled. "You're too loud." and fell back to sleep.

"How come there is one more kid?" Dadan asked. "Who the hell are you?"

"Are you talking about me?" Sabo yawned. "I'm Sabo. You must be Dadan."

"Sabo?" Dadan echoed. "I've heard of your name before."

"Oh yeah?" Sabo beamed. "That makes it easier. Thank you for taking care of me from today."

"'Taking care'?" Dadan blinked. "Don't tell me you're gonna stay here..."

"But I heard that you're a good old bag because you can't refuse a request." Sabo cut in before Dadan could reject.

"Ace, Luffy, Sabo." Dadan relented. "I've giving you a place to stay. You gotta get to work already."

"Dadan-kaa, don't I have to take care of their injuries first?" Sasha piped in, her medical kit already in hand.

"Sasha, do your thing." Dadan nodded.

"Yes." Sasha quipped and opened her medical box to reveal clean bandage rolls, several bottles of herbal paste, several medical plasters and two small pouches. "Sit down." she glared at the three injured boys, going into full medic mode and the bandits made themselves scarce. "Aniki, strip." her glare intensified at her brother.

Luffy gulped and obeyed, peeling his shirt off.

"She is good." Sabo gaped appreciatively as the two older boys watched Sasha work on Luffy's injuries; swathing a good amount of her herbal paste over the wounds he had gotten from Porchemy the previous day and reapplying the bandages over the wounds.

"Aniki, open your mouth." Sasha instructed, opening one of her pouches to reveal greenish brown pills in it. "Swallow." she popped a pill into Luffy's mouth.

"What's this?" Luffy winced, choking on the terrible tasting medicine.

"That will help you heal faster." Sasha replied. "Aniki, didn't your Devil Fruit taste worse?"

"I wasn't thinking..." Luffy blinked.

"Of course you weren't thinking." Sasha fired back. "Trust Shanks to just leave a Devil Fruit out in the open and in front of a 7-year-old who eats anything. Next." she turned to Ace and Sabo.

"Ace, you're more injured than I am." Sabo pushed Ace forward.

Huffing, the freckled boy silently took off his shirt.

After giving Ace a look-over, Sasha took out two bottles of herbal paste, one for the wounds he recently acquired and the other for the older injuries that had not closed properly. "Here." she handed Ace a chalky white pill from her other pouch.

"What's this?" Ace looked at the tablet.

"Painkiller." Sasha replied.

"I'm the least injured." Sabo pointed out.

"And it's still my job as medic to take care of any wounds." Sasha retaliated.

Sighing in resignation, Sabo stripped off his clothes.

"Ace, aniki, out now." Sasha hissed, once Sabo removed his white shirt to reveal the telltale mark of a whip lash.

"But..." Luffy blinked.

"Out!" Sasha snapped. "And shut the door. This is personal. How did this happen?" she asked her patient once the door closed.

"Can you... keep it a secret?" Sabo requested.

"Doctor-patient confidentiality, Sabo-san." Sasha reminded. "I take my Healer's Oath very seriously."

Sabo shut his eyes and recounted his past.

"I see..." Sasha started after Sabo had finished his recollection and she gave him a hug. "Can I call you Sabo-nii from now on?"

"See ya!" now recovered, the three boys shot out of the house.

"Oh yeah." Sabo stopped. "I forgot to tell them. Hey Dadan, while we're gone, the Blue Jam clan might come by, so be careful."

"The Blue Jam clan might come by?" Dogra echoed. "Why?"

"Because we beat some of his crew up." Sabo replied. "Bye!"
