【One Piece】Dawn in the Darkness

Chapter 392 Departure

"This is Marco."

Sabo and Qi looked at each other, then gave the Den Den Mushi to Ryu.

"Hello, Marco, this is the Revolutionary Army. Can I speak to your captain?"

"Hello, this is Whitebeard, who are you?"

A gruff voice immediately came from the Den Den Mushi. Sabo frowned in confusion. Whitebeard was right next to him?

"I am the Dragon of the Revolutionary Army."

"Gulalala! Long? You don't seem like the type to contact me out of the blue like this."

"I have some important information to share with you," Dragon began, "In case you didn't know, Lucci has been captured, just like Portgas D. Ace, and is currently in Impel Hell."

"I know this is going to be a war."

"You should know that the Navy has only set the location and time for Portgas D. Ace's execution. You plan to attack Marineford to rescue him. This way, Lucci will still be in Impel, and the Navy will only strengthen its control over Impel Prison."

"Why are you telling us this?" Marco interrupted.

"Because we have a common goal," Long continued, "I would like you to reconsider the plan you made to rescue Ace first."

"What do you think about attacking Impel Hell instead?"

"Why are you doing this?" Whitebeard asked.

"Your war with the navy will change the tide of this era, which will have an impact on our revolution. Lucci, Ace, and Luffy were the brothers of my Revolutionary Army Chief of Staff Sabo before he lost his memory." Dragon said calmly, "This is another reason why I want to rescue Lucci and Ace.

Qi and Sabo glanced at Long in confusion.

Den Den Mushi was silent for a moment before suddenly exploding with "Eh!!"

"Like Straw Hat Luffy, Lucci is also Ace's brother!?"

"Yes, that's right."

"Gulalala! Although I'm surprised, there are more reasons for you to take action, Long!" Whitebeard laughed, "But this is exactly what I want!"

They looked at each other. They didn't expect that Whitebeard would agree so easily.

"What's your plan? We're listening." Marco's laughing voice came from inside.

……

The Revolutionary Army has its own information transmission system, and information can be easily spread through their base. Everyone is working hard to provide the items needed for the rescue mission. Qi watched Sabo calmly and quickly giving instructions to his colleagues. Everyone in the Revolutionary Army base trusted him very much and had no doubts about his arrangements. Even if problems arose, Sabo still handled them calmly and quickly gave solutions.

After several hours of preparation, they soon arrived at the dock and prepared to set off. Since it was a stealth operation, there were not many people setting off. There were only four people on the small boat, namely him, Sabo, Kerla, and a fishman named Hake.

"The anchor has been raised and we can set off at any time," said Kerla.

"Come into the cabin!" Sabo said with a smile. "There's going to be a storm soon!"

As soon as Sabo finished speaking, a storm began to gather. Dark clouds instantly covered the bright moon, and the already dark sky became even darker. There was a huge thunder, deafening, and lightning flashed across the sky. The surging waves hit the side of the ship, causing it to shake violently. Their ship left the coast at an extremely fast speed. The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the speed of the ship was getting faster and faster.

"This is Mr. Long's ability." Sabo wiped the seawater off his face and explained to Qi, "This can help us save at least one day of travel time."

"What a powerful ability!" Qi said with a smile, they could make it.

……

Warships heading for Impel Hell

"Hammock, are you okay?" Luffy stuffed meat into his mouth and looked at Hancock hiding in the corner in confusion. "Why aren't you eating? This sea king ham is super delicious!"

"No... no, no, I feel so satisfied from the bottom of my heart!!"

Luffy tilted his head in confusion, he was a little worried about his friend, ever since they boarded the warship, Hancock had been acting like she did that night, looking almost sick, but she would always get back to her feet quickly.

Putting aside his confusion, Luffy continued to focus on the food in front of him, stuffing everything he could eat into his mouth to replenish his energy. He wanted to prepare to rescue his brothers because they were no longer free and he couldn't lose his brothers again.

......

Qi didn't feel that this time he landed in Sabaody was any different from the last time. The only difference was that his crew members were not around. The Sabaody Archipelago was still crowded with people coming from all directions, just like before. The battle between pirates and the navy a few days ago didn't seem to have any impact on this place.

"We still have 30 minutes until our meeting with Mr. Karasu." Kerla reminded him, "We need to go to number 16."

Qi turned his attention back to the fact that they were now docked at a mangrove forest on the 14th. Everything was going according to plan. They were waiting here for a revolutionary army that could take them into Impel.

"Sabo, can I go somewhere else?" Qi turned to look at Sabo. He didn't want to do anything unexpected, but he was indeed a little worried about Luffy and the others. He didn't know if they were the same as him, or if they had all escaped.

Sabo and Kerla glanced at each other, and from Kerla's expression it was clear that she didn't want him to leave.

Sabo was a little hesitant. After all, they had come this far and a mistake might make all their efforts go to waste. They had come to this remote mangrove forest to dock for a reason.

Before Sabo could figure out how to respond, a powerful presence appeared near them. Sabo cursed himself for not noticing this while reaching for the pipe behind him.

"Rayleigh!" Qi noticed Rayleigh under the boat, jumped off the boat and walked towards him. "Do you know what happened to Luffy and the others?"

"The Pirate King's deputy, Pluto Rayleigh?" Sabo also jumped down and stared at Rayleigh vigilantly. If he was an enemy, we would be no match for him.

"Sabo, this is Rayleigh," Qi introduced. "He used to be the Pirate King's deputy, but he said he's retired and is now a coating craftsman. He also agreed to help us coat the Thousand Sunny."

"I didn't expect you to come back so soon." Rayleigh looked at Qi and said with a smile.

"What happened to Luffy and the others?" Qi asked directly.

"They were sent away by the bear just like you, and you are the first one to come back here," said Reilly.

Qi frowned in confusion "Why would a bear do that?"

"He told me that he was here to help you, probably to help you escape."

"What I don't understand is why he wanted to separate us." Qi said, then relaxed. "But forget it, as long as they are okay."

"What are you going to do now?" Rayleigh asked.

Qi glanced at Sabo, unsure if he could reveal it.

Sabo noticed Qi's gaze, looked at Rayleigh and replied vaguely, "We have to go save people."

"Oh, okay, be careful." Rayleigh said with a smile, without asking any more questions. "Then I'll leave first!"

Looking at Rayleigh's leaving back, the revolutionary soldiers on the ship all breathed a sigh of relief.

"You really did meet a big shot," Sabo complained.

"He helped us a lot," Qi said with a smile.
