Lily POV

I sit on the cliff, Hikari was sitting by me, we were looking at Sabo. Sabo was avoiding our gaze, Luffy pats his stomach with a happy grin, I sweat drop. Sometimes I can't believe that I'm related to him.

"Since I ate all that delicious Ramen, I'm in a good mood! But a little sleepy..." Luffy says, I could tell that something was on Hikari's mind, "Don't go to sleep now! Before we do anything else, I think that you need to tell us just what it is you're hiding from us!" He snaps.

That definitely got Luffy awake, "Eh? Sabo's hiding something?" He asks, "What's wrong? I don't see what the problem is. I'm not hiding anything!" Sabo exclaims. He was shifting nervously, and couldn't seem to bring himself to look at any of us.

"Really?" Luffy asks innocently, "It's obvious that you're hiding something! Spit it out, Sabo! Do you think its okay to keep secrets between us?" Ace yells out angrily, both of the boys were standing in front of him.

"Spit it out, Sabo!" They say together, Hikari and I sigh together.

-Time Skip-

Okay, I wasn't expecting Sabo to be the son of a Noble, "Ehhhhhhh?! A Noble's son?!" Luffy exclaims. "Who?" They both ask in confusion, Hikari and I face palm, "Me of course!" Sabo yells, I sigh.

Ace and Luffy blink, and start to pick their noses in unison, I roll my eyes. They act more blood related then Luffy and I, "So?" They say in unison, "You're the ones who were asking!" Sabo yells.

Sabo sighs, before sliding down the tree until he was sitting on the ground. "The truth is," He starts softly, "My parents are still alive. I'm not an orphan of the Gray Terminal... and the man we saw today... he's my father." He finishes.

"Why should it matter who your father is?" I say, Sabo stares at me, I get up, and cover Luffy's ears. "To be fair, our father is the most wanted man in the world, but please don't tell Luffy." I say.

-Small Time Skip-

Sabo jumps up, "ACE! LUFFY! LILY! HIKARI! We definitely have to set sail and leave this place someday! I wanna leave and see the world! Everything that it has to offer! And then write a book about my adventures! I don't mind having to study navigation. I'll get stronger and I'll become a pirate!" He exclaims with a smile, and punches the air with his fists.

Ace laughs, "I know," He tells us as he walked to the edge of the cliff, and gazes up at the sky, "You don't need to tell me. I'll be a pirate and I'll fight and fight and fight until I become the most famous! That will be proof that I lived!" He then holds up his pipe, "I don't care if the world doesn't accept me, no matter how much they hate me, I'll become a great pirate and stand above everyone else! I won't run from anyone, or lose to anyone! I'll make sure the world knows my name!" He exclaims.

I grin for the first time since Mom died, while Luffy was giggling, "I see... Right!" He runs foreward to stand by Ace, and raise his fists in the air, and takes a deep breath, "I'M GOING TO BE KING OF THE PIRATES!" He exclaims.

Ace and Sabo both stare at him, as Luffy bursts out laughing, "You're talking nonsense again." Ace says with a sigh. I laugh, everyone looks at me, "That's the first time I heard you laugh in awhile Big sis!" Luffy exclaims.

Sabo bursts out laughing, "You're so funny, Luffy! I can't wait to see what happens in the future with you!" He cries out.
