Upon learning about Sabo's whereabouts, Ace decided to join Noir in searching for him.

Cretin, after careful consideration, chose to first consult the Revolutionary Army's leader, Monkey D. Dragon.

Noir was unaware of the details of their conversation, but ultimately, they agreed to Noir's request, granting them a meeting.

However, only Noir and Ace were allowed to approach the Revolutionary Army's base. The others had to remain behind.

Using a coated ship to evade the Marines' search, Noir and Ace were eventually brought aboard a large vessel by Cretin.

The ship was filled with Revolutionary Army soldiers. A few days later, they arrived at an island.

The island was bathed in the warm glow of spring sunshine. Its architecture had a distinct Gothic charm.

On the surface, everything seemed normal. But Cretin revealed that everyone on this island nation, even the king, was a member of the Revolutionary Army.

Noir was impressed. Dragon's audacity and methods were remarkable. Many people in the world opposed the Government, but few managed to actively rebel.

With his ideals and charisma, Dragon had transformed the Revolutionary Army into a formidable organization, a thorn in the side of the World Government.

Ace leaned against the mast, gazing at the island in the distance. Impatience etched on his face, he asked Cretin, "Is Sabo really coming here?"

Cretin gave him a weary look. He'd asked that question countless times over the past few days.

"The leader said Sabo is on his way back from a mission. He'll stop by on his return journey."

Seeing Ace's mixture of anticipation and anxiety, Noir offered words of comfort. "Don't worry, Sabo will definitely remember you."

Ace gave him a grateful look and nodded.

Soon, the Revolutionary Army ship docked. Cretin led them ashore.

They traveled by sea to the kingdom's capital, stepping into a bustling town where the citizens greeted them with reverence.

Ace, puzzled by the respectful behavior, asked, "Why do they treat you with such respect?"

Cretin smiled at the crowd, then lowered her voice. "Secretly, I'm a Revolutionary Army soldier. Publicly, I'm the kingdom's eldest princess."

What?

A trust fund kid in the Revolutionary Army?

Noir also lowered his voice. "So, you'll be the queen someday?"

Cretin sighed, a hint of exasperation in her voice. "Because of that, I'm secretly the heir apparent, and publicly, I'm the commander of the kingdom's Knight Order."

What kind of twisted logic is that?

Noir and Ace exchanged bewildered looks. "Huh?"

Cretin explained that although she was destined to inherit the throne, she had no desire to do so.

Cretin had her own beliefs. She didn't want to rule the kingdom, so she kept her dual identity as a princess and a Revolutionary hidden from her people.

Her subjects believed that the eldest princess had died years ago, unaware that she had become the commander of the Knight Order.

This young woman didn't want to be confined to a single nation. She yearned for a life of adventure, fighting for justice.
