Ace looked at Haruno and sighed, then he started to explain what happened after Haruno killed Bluejam: "After Haru killed Bluejam, he basically fainted. He didn"t move after using his hair and burning Jam alive. Then we tried to follow a path to leave the place. But the fire was there... We didn"t have a way to leave, then Dadan gave Haruno"s body to me and said to follow her, then she rushed toward the fire. Obviously, I followed her all the way, and only she became this way... Completely burned... After we left the grey terminal, Dadan couldn"t walk anymore and fell in the ground, I carried her to the river on the Midway forest." Ace paused and looked at Dadan, who was sleeping and sighed.Then he continued: "I found a tree that we could use as a hidden place because the guards were killing every survivor if the grey terminal, steals medicine and food to treat her... After all this, I carried her all the way back, and Haruno was sleeping all the time." He looked at Haruno and approached him to punch his head because he was sleeping all the time after they left the grey terminal, now that they were back, he wants to eat something that Haruno cooked. But he stopped when he saw that he was waking up on his own. Haruno looked around himself and using his [Telekinesis] to float, he then said: "Okay, okay, now I"m going to cook something... Burtosy, behave when I"m not here. Go play with uncle Luffy or something like that."
Haruno left walking... Or should i say floating? Well, he headed toward the kitchen and the little crocodile looked at where Luffy was and rushed toward him. Luffy was confused to see a little crocodile, but he remembered that Haruno showed him to them and said that his name was Burtosy... Luffy grabbed Burtosy and smiled, then he left the house to play with him. Leaving some confused bandits behind himself. Then Ace said: "I don"t believe that happened in the grey terminal... Does Sabo is worried about us?" Outside the house, Luffy was playing with Burtosy and the white dog Pochi that lived there, then Luffy looked at Pochi while touching Burtosy"s head and said: "How Sabo is doing...? But, is good that Haru and Ace returned and Dadan is recovering quick!" Pochi barked, Luffy obviously couldn"t understand what he said, but if Haruno was there, he would hear a man voice saying: "Yes it is good. I hope that she recovers well."
Inside the house, Dadan looked at the ceiling and asked in a low voice to Ace: "Ace, at that moment... Why didn"t run?" Ace looked at the ground and said slowly: "Some Times, I lose the control. I always have a fear that if that i run, i will leave something important behind me... At that moment... Luffy was behind me. I really don"t know but i think that"s it." Dadan sighed and remembered some things that Garp said to her about Roger... That he never runs even when fighting with a whole army. Dadan looked at Ace and for some seconds was lost in her thoughts. Then Haruno appeared floating around and a delicious scent could be sniffed there. A special soup that Haruno made to Dadan and Ace to recover quickly, even himself will drink it. Luff outside the house stopped playing with Burtosy and grabbed two bugs to make them fight with each other and see who would win.
Why didn"t Luffy rushed inside the house to drink and ate the soup that Haruno made? Because Haruno himself used his Ak.u.ma no Mi and blocked the scent to leave the house and attract Luffy. Luffy saw the two bugs fighting and smiled, then he said: "Okay, who"s going to win...?" he heard footsteps behind himself and looked behind, then he saw Dogra walking toward him and with a happy expression he shouted: "Dogra!" Dogra was with a stunned expression, Luffy ignored it and asked: "You were searching for Dadan, Ace, and Haru right? They came back!" Dogra"s expression changed to a scared and he said: "ah? That"s good!" then he walked toward the house, opened the door and Luffy sniffed the delicious scent and rushed toward the door, Dogra walked toward Dadan and with a trembling voice, he said: "G-guys... I have to tell you something... S-Sabo i-is... Dead."
Everyone looked at him and he continued slowly: "He Died, a Tenryubiito killed him. He was in a ship that was near the Tenryubiito"s ship and... They shot him... Making his ship burn on fire and killing him." Ace looked at him with an angry expression and shouted while jumping in him to attack him: "Stop lying a.s.shole! Don"t play with it!" Haruno looked at this scene and remembered that it happened in the anime and he shouted: "Stip it Ace!" Dorga, who was in the ground, looked at Ace and said: "I would never play with something like this! I almost didn"t believe what i saw! I thought that it was a nightmare!" Ace was angry and shouted: "Shut up! Sabor returned to his n.o.ble house! How would he be in the sea!?" this time Luffy supported Ace shouting: "That"s right! He returned!" Haruno felt that something inside his heart was hurting him, he didn"t know what was happening with him... He ignored that Ace and Dogra were fighting and tried to calm down himself... Why? I know that he is still alive and safe... It"s like in the anime! Anime... This isn"t the anime anymore... This is my new world. This is my life. My new life... My feelings are killing me! I don"t know what to do! What is this heavy thing in my heart? Is it... Regret? Sadness? Self Blame? I don"t know what is this! Someone... Help me! I need to know what is this feeling. What is my life.
