Pirates: Vice Captain of the Nine Snakes Pirates!

Chapter 269 Big Bear: I don’t have much time left

"Hey!"

"Then do you know where the underwater prison is? Tell me quickly! I want to save Ace!" Luffy's face was full of anxiety.

Everyone in the Straw Hat Pirates also had a serious look on their faces at this moment.

Although they don't have much interaction with Ace, they all like Luffy, their brother who is loyal and righteous, and they also regard Ace as their friend.

Now that Luffy wants to go to the underwater prison to rescue Ace, they will naturally not stand idly by and will definitely help Luffy with all their strength.

"With your strength, it is impossible to enter the underwater prison. However, if you really want to go, he may be able to help you." Kuina said, pointing to the big bear beside her.

After hearing what Kuina said, Luffy immediately turned to look at Kuma.

But he shook his head and said firmly: "No! I want to do this myself! I just need to know the location of the underwater prison!"

Seeing Luffy so determined, the Straw Hat Pirates' faces changed slightly.

Nami quickly advised: "Luffy, don't be too impulsive! Your strength alone is limited, you need help."

"Yes, Luffy! We can help too!" The other members nodded in agreement.

However, Luffy still shook his head stubbornly and said, "No! This is my business, and I don't want anyone to get hurt because of me."

"You can't get in because the underwater prison is also blocked by the Gate of Justice." Big Bear still spoke softly in a gentle tone.

"The Gate of Justice?"

"How could this happen? Then how do we get to the underwater prison~~~"

The faces of the Straw Hat Pirates changed. They had caused a big disturbance on Judicial Island before, so they naturally knew about the Gate of Justice.

"I do have an idea~~~" Kuina said meaningfully.

"Really? Tell me quickly~~~" Luffy was very excited and looked at Kuina expectantly.

"Besides Big Bear, there are two other people who can help you, your father, Dragon, and your other brother, Sabo." Kuina said lightly.

"Dorag?"

The big bear's tone became surprised, and then he looked at Luffy. He now understood. No wonder Dragon paid so much attention to him. And, Sabo...

"Luffy's other brother?"

The members of the Straw Hat Pirates were also surprised that Luffy actually had a brother!

"Sabo? You mean Sabo? He's still alive? Where is he?" Luffy was even more surprised, and then extremely delighted!

He had always thought that Sabo was dead, but he didn't expect to hear the news that Sabo was alive!

"He should know the news about Sabo very well. You can ask him." Big Bear said to Luffy.

"Okay, thank you!" Luffy said excitedly.

"Okay, I have to leave too, Zoro. I hope the next time we meet will be the time we decide the winner." After saying that, Kuina walked straight to Island No. 13.

"Kuina~~~" Zoro had mixed feelings, but in an instant, his eyes became firm.

"Kuina, I won't break my promise!"

"Then I'll be waiting!"

~~~~~~

After Kuina left, the members of the Straw Hat Pirates looked at Big Bear, hoping that Big Bear could give them answers to their questions.

"I do know where Sabo is~~~" Big Bear said in a gentle voice.

Hearing this, Luffy and his friends immediately became excited and looked at Big Bear expectantly.

Big Bear did not hide anything and immediately told the news about Sabo.

Everyone in the Straw Hat Pirates was extremely surprised. They all knew the identity of Luffy's father at the beginning of the meeting at Water Seven, and now they learned that Luffy's brother was actually the chief of staff of the Revolutionary Army!

After learning about this situation, Luffy had to reconsider rescuing Ace.

After all, Sabo is also their brother, and Sabo has lost his memory now, so he also wants to go and see the situation.

Then, Luffy asked Kuma to take him to find Sabo, while the Straw Hat Pirates stayed in the Sabaody Archipelago waiting for him.

Nobita did not refuse Luffy's request. He used his ability to send Luffy directly to the Revolutionary Army headquarters.

"Do you guys want to become stronger?" Big Bear looked at the Straw Hat Pirates who were still surprised by Luffy's instant disappearance and had not yet come to their senses.

"Become stronger?"

The Straw Hat Pirates were confused for a moment, then fell silent.

Of course they wanted to become stronger, after all, this experience made them deeply aware of their own shortcomings. Facing an opponent like the Pacifist, they actually exhausted all their strength to defeat him.

If they encounter more powerful enemies in the New World in the second half of the Grand Line, how will they respond?

However, despite his inner desire to become stronger, Luffy still needs their support and help at the moment, so they cannot leave easily.

"Big Bear, we can't leave now..." Zoro said in a low voice.

"That's right, Kuma, although we all want to become stronger, Luffy needs us to stay with him right now!" The others also echoed.

The members of the Straw Hat Pirates looked at Kuma with firm and sincere eyes, indicating that they would not leave easily.

After a moment of silence, Big Bear said slowly: "I understand how you feel, but I don't have much time..."

Before he finished speaking, he turned and left, his figure getting farther and farther away.

Looking at the big bear's receding back, everyone couldn't help but feel a complex emotion in their hearts.

Nami's eyes flashed with confusion, and she asked softly: "So what should we do next?"

Sanji took a deep breath and replied in a heavy tone: "First, we have to check the condition of the Sunny and see when Uncle Rayleigh will finish the coating. Then, we will wait for Luffy to return on this island."

Everyone nodded in agreement and then walked towards the beach together.

When they arrived at the beach, at the dock of Thousand Miles of Sunshine, they saw Rayleigh coating the pirate ship.

"Oh?"

"Why are you here?" Rayleigh asked curiously.

He knew that Kizaru was going to attack just now, but after seeing Kuina there, he left. With Kuina there, Kizaru would be in trouble.

"Uncle Rayleigh, we may have to delay our trip to Fishman Island~~~" Sanji said in a deep voice.

"What's going on? What happened?" Rayleigh frowned.

"Luffy's brother Ace has been captured by the navy. The navy will execute Ace at the navy headquarters in Marineford soon, so Luffy must go to save him." Nami quickly told the story.

"Luffy's brother? You mean, Ace is Luffy's brother?" Rayleigh was very surprised.

Ace is obviously Roger's son, when did he become Luffy's brother? Everyone on the sea knows that Luffy is Garp's grandson?

"They are not biological brothers, they are sworn brothers. He also has a sworn brother who is the chief of staff of the Revolutionary Army. His name is Sabo."

“Nani???”
