The girl said and in an instant, Ace and Sabo disappeared, so is the girl.
" The voice said.
"Eh?! Where did Ace go?!" Izo asked, noticing that Ace suddenly disappeared.
"S-Sabo?!" Koala called out, noticing that his partner was also missing.
"I think we don't need to worry if they were the ones missing" Robin stated.
"Hm? Why not?", Nami asked in confusion.
Robin just smiled, "I think that person was talking about their reunion."

"Damn it, warn me first before doing that. It always makes me dizzy." Ace said, rubbing his head as he sat up on the ground.
However, he frozed when he saw the Blond who was sitting in front of him, holding his head, probably because of dizziness.
The girl mumbled but it was clearly heard by all, then they all wondered what's happening since they can't see the three.
The center of confusion was actually quite busy staring at each other. A seconds have passed and Ace realized what's happening.
"Are you really Sabo?" He asked seriously, frowning as he stared at the Blond. Clearly he could see the familiarities. Those very same Eyes was obviously the same from when he was a child.
Sabo's eyes watered unconsciously as he stared at Ace, a lump forming in his throat.
"Damn it, Answer!" Ace yelled, causing Sabo to flinched.
"I....I am." Sabo answered weakly, his voice cracking so suddenly as he wasn't able to control his emotion completely.
Ace stared at his 'brother' and glared, "Prove it." He stated coldly.
Sabo cough and forcefully calm himself, a shaky breath escaping from his lips.
"That....That day....we stole a bottle of sake from Dadan and...shared a toast..to...to become brothers." As this rate, Sabo was completely crying as he covered his face.
Hearing that, Ace's eyes watered and tears started falling out of his eyes.
Without a single word, Ace quickly stood up and grab Sabo by the collar. In an instant, a hard fist collided in Sabo's face, causing the blond to fall back into the ground.
"To hell we are! I thought you died, damn it!" Ace yelled in anger, once again grabbing Sabo's shirt and shaking him continuously. "Where the hell have you been?! I even cried for you, you bastard! Are you toying with me?! How come you're a revolutionary?!" Ace questions, and Sabo pushed his face away, his hands trying to free himself.
"I....I'll tell you!" Sabo said weakly, having a hard time breathing. This was clearly familiar, and Ace was sure this kind of scene happened once.
It was clearly when they find out Sabo was a Noble and he wouldn't speak, that Ace did the same and it ended up similar to this.
Letting go, Ace raised his eyebrow and stared at Sabo, waiting impatiently for his answer.
"Well, that incident....caused me to forget everything." Sabo admitted in guilt, looking down at the purple and black chess like ground.
Ace furrowed his eyebrow, "Forgot? What the hell does that mean?!"
The girl, who seemed to forgot everything she says could be heard throughout the place, mocked Ace casually who turned towards her with a glare.
"Don't butt in, ! We're having a reunion here, can't you see?!" Ace yelled with teary eyes, causing the cloaked girl to roll her eyes but stayed silent others wise.
Sabo blink his eyes and glance at the two in confusion, "You two....know each other?" He asked, causing Ace to snapped at him again.

"Don't think you could asked me questions. I'm the one asking you here! Answer mine first!" Ace yelled, then, he resumed in shaking Sabo back and forth.
"S-Stop it! I....I can't b-breathe..." Sabo said, starting to feel dizzy.
Ace pause and a frown started to appear on his face. "So? Where were you?" He asked.
Sabo cough and breath in, stabilizing himself first before looking straight into Ace's eyes with sadness.
"The day that I decided to set sail... After the incident, I really almost die." Sabo started, "However, Dragon-san found me and bring me back with him. When I woke up I just..... couldn't remember anything except that I don't want to go back home... probably because of my noble status."
Ace fell silent and stared deeply into Sabo's eyes, like some inner war was going on inside his mind. The girl in a cloak was patient, and waited for Ace to have a time processing what his brother have said.
After a while, Ace finally spoke. "When did you remember?"
Hearing the question, Sabo flinched and guiltiness could be seen in his eyes. "I....It was.....when I saw that...after you died.....the newspapers about you death...was delivered to us and everyone talked about it....then I just... remember."
With that, Ace showed a smile and, without a word, embraced his brother tightly.
Sabo's eyes widen, not understanding what's happening but managed to hug back, a little more tightly, seemingly afraid that Ace would disappear in a minute.
After a while, the separated and a sense of dizziness once again caused the two of them to rubbed their heads.
"Ughhh! I told you to warn me before doing that!" Ace said casually, not realizing where he was.
Everyone gape at how casual Ace is towards the cloaked figure, and it doesn't seemed like he has any fears at all.
Now everyone wondered whether he know something.
"Ace!!!"
"Sabo!!!"
The Whitebeard Pirates called out to the two brothers, while Sabo, who didn't expect to be transported immediately, click his tongue in irritation before burying his face more into Ace's shoulder.
"Eh? Sabo, are you crying?" Koala asked with a smile, tilting her head.
Sabo pause, and buried his face more to hide his red puffy eyes. "Shut up! I never cry!" He hissed at his partner, who just laugh at him.
"Eh? So we could actually walked around and go to other groups?" Ace asked, seeing that the revolutionaries was now near the Whitebeard Pirates.
" The girl said, clearly bored.
Ace, who knew the girl in cloak was actually letting him consumed some time, grinned and drag Sabo to Whitebeard.
"Oyaji! Oyaji!" Ace called out excitedly, letting go of Sabo who already calmed himself down.
Whitebeard narrowed his eyes at his son, "What is it, my son?"
Grinning, Ace pulled Sabo in front of Whitebeard, who flinched at the sudden action.
Ace grinned and pointed at Sabo, "Oyaji, this is my brother, Sabo."
Sabo, being the polite out of the three, smiled and bowed in front of Whitebeard, his hand holding his top hat.
"A pleasure to meet you, sir. My name is Sabo. Thank you for taking care of my brother, he's a pain in the ass sometimes."
*Bam!*
"Ouch! Why'd you hit me?" Sabo asked, rubbing his head as he turned towards Ace who gave a him a blank look.
"What do you mean pain in the ass?! I'm your older brother! Who do you think you're talking about?!" Ace asked, doing hand gesture.

Sabo sigh and crossed his arms, "The last time I checked, you an I both have the same age. How exactly are you older?"
Hearing that, Ace smirked. "Because it's SL, get it?"
"You...." Sabo started, then realized what Ace is talking about. He rolled his eyes, "I get it, now shut up." He said, letting his brother win this argument in fear of ruining their reunion.
"Wait, I thought that kid Luffy was your brother yoi?" Marco asked.
"The two of you don't look similar to each other. Right, I've never seen this Luffy kid before." Thatch said, which is because he died much more earlier than Ace.
Sabo smiled a little, "Is that so? I really am more handsome than Ac-
*Bam!*
"Quit hitting me! What's your problem?!" Sabo asked his brother.
"Don't get ahead of yourself! What do you think you were about to say?!" Ace asked and Sabojust rolled his eyes.
"I was about to revealed the truth." He merely said, causing Ace to choke at the arrogance of his brother. Indeed, Sabo has grown up, damn it!
"Well, the three of them probably grew up together yoi. Since Luffy wasn't also your blood related brother, and your case was probably the same yoi?" Marco asked, turning his attention to Sabo who smiled.
"Yes." Sabo answered.
Just then, Whitebeard grinned. "Gurararara! In that case, you are also my son!"
Sabo blinked before a smile crept into his face, he glance at Dragon and saw that his Boss has no qualms about it
With a smile, Sabo thanked Whitebeard before he was dragged at Ace to sit down.
The figure said, annoyance clearly laced in her voice.
"Finally." Zoro said.
Everyone gulped in fear and stayed silent, watching how the Vice-Captain of Straw Hat clicked his tongue with a blank face before extending his arms.
In his hand was a glass ball, the same as everyone. However, inside there's a Gold Orb.
"Here." Zoro said, and the figure grin, her hand rising and like an obedient puppy, the ball of glass flew almost instantly towards the cloaked figure. "So how does this work?" Zoro asked seriously, gazing at the golden orb inside the ball.
The girl in cloaked smile,
As she finished her words, before anyone could react, a huge mirror suddenly appeared above, wide enough for everyone to see themselves.
The cloaked girl said before turning her gaze to everyone.
Then, as though sensing something, the half showed face of the Cloaked girl have a dark grin on her face.
She said, glancing at the direction of the royalties before turning towards the Marines.
Hearing that cold threat, everyone carved those words and warnings in their mind, in fear of angering the ruler of the territory they were in.
She muttered before flicking her fingers.
"You really annoys me." Crocodile muttered boredly, his body now free from the invisible force.
Everyone else who was bound by the force was now free, and out of fear of being bound again, because it felt like something cold was slowly eating away their strength and power, they stayed cautious and silent.
Seeing that everyone else obeyed and was now sitting on the ground, The girl in cloak grinned and clap her hands in delight.
Like the ball of glass were mere bubbles, The mysterious girl stick her hands into it and those white hands easily went in without hardships. With a smile, the cloaked figure took out the orb and held it.
Unlike Robin who tried touching it once, only for it to break into pieces immediately, the girl had no problems holding it. Not even cracks appeared and the orb was perfectly fine.
Watching as the golden orb floated and entered the Memory Mirror, everyone saw the solid piece of glass suddenly created ripples the same appearance to water.
Like in a movie theatre, the whole place became dimmer, just dark enough for people to see each other.
It was black at first, and everyone stared at the mirror in anticipation. Just then, an Angry yell was heard by the whole room, even the further one who was at the back could hear it clearly like it is being said beside them.
young kid with raven haired and freckled who was thrown to the ground with a punch.
"E-Eh?! Is that...." Haruta voiced out before glancing at Ace, who stared at the mirror with wide eyes.
"It's Ace yoi." Marco commented, before noticing the looked in the child Ace was very different from the current Ace. It looks as though the younger one was...filled with wild looks, a cold face to be exact.
"Why were you punched yoi?" Marco asked and Ace, who clearly remembered this day, sigh.
"A usual argument. It always happen." Ace answered.
Seeing his son being punched like that at young age for the starting point of this 'saving mission', Whitebeard was obviously not happy as he stared at mirror with a small frown.
On the other hand, Shanks stared at the scene in astonishment. "That's quite a hit there." He commented with a smile, causing some Whitebeard Pirates who heard him to direct a cold glare at the red hair.
Feeling the glares, Shanks crew snicker and their Captain, who was the main target of those glares, smiled like nothing was happening, even laughing at it.
"I-Is he okay?!" Chopper asked, looking worriedly because a clear bruised was seen in Ace's face.
"It does seemed so.", Sanji said, trying to find something in his pocket.
The kid, who was now identified as Ace, quickly sat up, covering his lips with the back of his mouth.
"Ace!"
A
"It's Mugiwara-ya." Law muttered as he sat on the ground with his crew, eyes gazing at the mirror in curiosity.
"I-Is that?! ....Wahhh! L-L-Luffy-senpai!!!" Bartolomeo said, stars twinkling around him while others look at him like he was crazy.
"Luffy looks way more cuter in there!" Chopper said, his eyes staring at the younger version of his Captain.
"What're you doing, Gramps?!"
Everyone knows who he is talking about, since almost everyone, except some people who doesn't really know, glance at Garp.
On the mirror, Garp appeared. His legs were bend as he was crouching, to have the same level as the two kids.
"What do you mean, you're going out to sea?!" Garp asked loudly, anger evident in his voice as he looked sternly at Ace. "I'll never let you!" He yelled.
Ace snorted and look away, "Tsk. You're not my father, so quit acting all big and mighty!" He snapped before looking back at Garp. "Why should I listen to you, old Gramps?"
The exchange between the two worried the Whitebeard Pirates, since no one clearly had an idea how Garp treated his grandsons at young age.
"Call me Grandpa!" Garp yelled.
Sabo chuckled at that, "Seriously, this looks was very nostalgic to see." He stated, causing Ace to pout.
"I still look the same." He muttered.
On the other hand, Garp sigh since he clearly remember this day.
"You clearly know how to annoy your Grandfather." Thatch said, chuckling.
Haruta smiled, "Ace seemed to be hard headed."
With that statement, everyone agree.
Luffy was now standing beside Ace, who was looking at him curiously.
"I'm gonna get much stronger and set out to the sea together with Ace!" He declared proudly.
Listening to his words, The Straw Hats face palmed at their Captain's braveness, or was it stupidness?
"He's dead." Sanji muttered, lighting himself a cigarette.
Brook, on the other hand, stared at the mirror and his mouth agape, "L-Luffy-san's grandfather is an Admiral?!" He asked, clearly knowing who Garp is.
Nami glance at him and sigh, "I forgot you weren't there when we met him. We're at water 7 when we found out about it." She answered.
"Yohohoho. An interesting family indeed. My eyes was gonna popped out." Brook exclaimed before pausing, "Oh, I forgot. I don't-
"You're a skeleton so you don't have eyes." Chopper interrupt him, causing Brook to fall straight into the ground.
"E-Eh?! Brook, are you alright?!" Chopper asked, the others roll their eyes at the two.
"Chopper-san, you can't just steal my lines like that." Brook said.
An irk mark appeared in Nami's head as she glared at the two. "Just shut up and watched silently!"
"Yes ma'am.",
"Oww!!!" Luffy said with comical tears, holding the large bump in his head.
"H-He actually hit Luffy with Haki!" Nami exclaimed, covering her eyes.
The others glance at Garp, who just snorted at the scene.
"Stupid Gramps." Ace muttered unamused, but a small smirked was plastered on his face.
damn
Garp pause, "What did you say, Damn?!" He questioned in anger before glaring at Ace.
"Ace, how dare you?!"
Luffy's cries of pain and Ace's laughter was heard after that as the mirror suddenly went black.
"Wow. Ace, you sure are brave." Vista commented, not expecting Ace to stood his grounds in front of Garp.
"What can I say? I'm really brave." Ace joked, wiggling His eyebrows with a wide grin.
Sabo laugh at him, "You're brave, alright." He muttered before he whispered..."All of us were."
Of course, Ace heard him and a wide smile appeared on the Ravennette's face.
"Look! The mirrior is starting to show another part of the memory."
