Sabo was due to wake up soon, and many members of the revolutionaries were in the room. In fact, I would believe everyone was there if not for Dragon ordering some members to keep watch on deck.
I hadnt met anyone besides Dragon, Koala and Hack but the latter two were nowhere to be found.
My attention snapped to Sabo, just as his unharmed eye opened.
Ivankov, whose name rang in my mind, jumped forward and shouted. "He's awake!"
Sabo let out a scream, and a lady, who i recongize, but didn't know the name of spoke.
"Dont suprise him." She said, a glass of red wine in her hand.
Ivankov stepped back, crossing his arms. "I wasnt gonna do that! Boy, how rude!"
Sabo breathed heavily, before finnaly coming to his senses. "Where am I?"
"Your on board our ship." The lady said, as Sabo sat up.
A man came over, holding Sabo's neckerchief up. "It says Sabo on your possessions. Is that your name?"
I knew then, that Dragon never told anyone about who I was. I grit my teeth.
"Sabo..." He looked down in thought. "I don't know."
Ivankov leaned forward, his expression serious. "You dont know? Whats your name then?"
Sabo put his hand over his eye, with a pained expression. "No idea."
Ivankov opened his mouth but before he said anything, I stepped forward from where I was in the back of the room.
"His name is Sabo, I can comfirm this."
Everyone looked at me, and I continued. "It seems he remembers nothing, not even his own name. So he probably also forgot who I am."
Dragon turned back to Sabo, who had a conflicting expression. "I first met him at Highland of the Goa Kingdom," he informed. "I am sure he is one of the nobles from there."
The man from earlier spoke. "Then, lets take him home... in search of-"
I jumped in again, cutting him off. "He is a noble, however, he ran away from his parents when he was 7."
Sabo clutched his blanket. "I don't want to go back!" He yelled.
"Why?" Someone asked, and everone looked between me and Sabo.
"I dont know!" He answered. "But... thats the last thing i want..."
I flinched, knowing that he didnt remember anything, but it still scared me. What if thats what he really wanted?
Ivankov threw his hands in the air. "But we cant have you on the ship forever! We have things to do!"
At this point in the conversation, seemed to forget about me as Sabo shouted. "Then bring me somewhere else!"
Everyone looked at each other as if the thought was absurd. "Youre just a kid! dont be ridiculous!" Ivankov said.
"Im begging you!" His eye teared up, and silence rang over the room.
Ivok shifted towards Dragon, and whispered in a hushed voice. "What should we do, Dragon?"
Dragon said nothing, staring at at Sabo with a hard expression.
"He will train to become a revolutionary." He turned and walked out of the room before anyone could say anything. His order was final.
I grit my teeth in frustration, there was nothing i could do to stop this. Sabo remembered nothing, what could i do?
"Then I am staying as well." I announced, gaining the attention of everyone again. Sabo stared at me with a confused gaze.
"Dont you want to return-"
"If Sabo isnt going back, I'm not either." I said as if it was final. "Besides, everyone back on Dawn thinks we are dead anyways."
Ivankov sighed, defeated. "Fine, since these two boys seem to know each other, you two will be sharing a bunk." he told us, and I said nothing as Sabo nodded slowly.
We were then led to a room that wad two bunk beds. I wondered who else we would be sharing a room with. For now, it was just me and Sabo.
"So, you really knew me?" He asked tentatively, sitting on the bottom bunk. Which probably meant I would take the top...
"Yes, I did. Only for a short tine, but I consider you and the other two brothers."
"Brothers?"
"By bond."
Sabo seemed to think about it before asking, "Can-can you tell me about the others?"
"Of course." I sat beside him. "First there's Luffy, he's the youngest. He's a little hard headed and reckless, but that's also like Ace. Luffy smiles alot, he wears a straw hat, and has a scar under his left eye, and always talks about his dream."
"Whats his dream?"
"To be pirate king."
Sabo said nothing about it, choosing to continue. "...what about Ace?"
"He and Luffy are alot alike in the behavioral aspects, but they have very different personalities. Ace scowls a lot, though you and Luffy always seemed to know how to make the him smile." I was no longer looking at Sabo, as I continued.
"He has black hair, like Luffy, and freckles on his cheeks. Another thing about Ace is that he never runs from a fight, no matter what and is really stubborn. He cares greatly for the both of you, even if he denies it."
"And you?" He asked.
I was suprised by the question, my eyes turning to him."Me?"
"You said you're my brother as well."
"Yeah..." I thought about what to say next. "My name is Issac R Lucas, though Luffy likes to call me Luca. I guess I'm pretty blunt, and I like to speak my mind. I try to be honest and do what I think is right." I puased. "I'm not really good at talking to people out of a serious setting, like making friends and stuff."
Sabo smiled slightly. "You seem fine now."
"Because I know you."
"I don't know you..."
I paused. "You know me, you just don't remember."
Sabo blinked, suprised. "I guess that is true..."
"You're smart, and the level headed one of the group. Though just like the other two, you can be reckless and stuborn. You're kind of like the middle ground. Whenever Luffy or Ace would fight you were the one to break it up." I paused. "You are also the person we go too for advise. Though Ace and Luffy are too stuborn to admit that."
Sabo listened intently, his hands on his knees as he leaned forward.
"I-
The door opened then, and we both turned our heads to look. There stood two boys, who I estimated were roughly 16 or 17 years old.
The first had brown hair, going down to his nape. He wore a blue head band, pushing his bangs away from his eyes. He wore dark blue overalls and a white button up shirt under it. He was probably just under 6 feet, while his companion was a full head shorter than him.
The other had dirty blonde hair, his wavy bangs were all swept to on side covering his ear. You could just barely see his right eye through the hair. The hair on the other sife went just barely past his ear, it had a streak of baby pink through it.
He wore a lavender sweater-like shirt, only it had mid length sleaves. His pants were starkly white, and I wondered how he kept them so clean.
The two entered, and the first one spoke. "So you're our new roomates, huh?" His voice was deeper than I had initially expected, and he scowled at us.
"Uh, yeah?" I answered.
The second boy came forward with a small, shy smile. "Excuse him, he's just not good with new people. My name is Pike." He nudged his friend his his elbow.
"Tch, my name's Oliver. Don't forget it."
Pike rolled his eyes, before smiling at us again. "And you two are?"
Sabo seemed to snap out of whatever train of thought he was in. "O-oh I'm Sabo... nice to meet you." A gave a small, timid smile.
"I'm Lucas." I gave a polite smile. "I hope we can can along."
Oliver huffed, and went over to his bunk. Clmbing to the top.
I hid a grimace, that meant I would have to be closer to him.
Pike smile dampened a bit. "It's nice to meet you too Lucas, Sabo. Though it seems like we should all sleep. It's a long day tomorrow."
Before I could ask what he meant, he went to his bunk. "I will turn off the light, you should get in bed." He said.
I did as told, sparing a small "Goodnight" to Sabo and climbing to the top. I settled under the covers just as the light went off.
Surprisingly, I fell asleep right as I closed my eyes.
-
A week.
All it took was 7 days for his entire life to change.
He had always been distant from his siblings, for as long as he could remember. But now, they barely even looked at him.
He ignored it.
His father started to bring him to meetings, the ones he had with the goverment, the ones he had with others in the country.
He's heir to the throne after all.
At least that's what his father would say. When someone question Lucas's presence.
He wasn't the oldest sibling, nor the youngest. But it was tradition in the Amulet Family that the current king chose his heir.
It was strange, to know you would be king of such a rich and powerful country. A country no one knew about.
Except the goverment.
Except those damn Celestial Dragons.
Father hated them both. He said the system was tainted, and those world nobles didn't deserve the power they had.
His father had a leverage on them.
And that leverage was him.
And whatever dark secret that lay in the darkest parts of of the country.
He ignored it.
Until he came into his life.
Changing him again.
For better or for worse.
