The pirates sat and forgot, and they really believed the nine truths and one lie.

Buggy is very patient in training Sabo. As the second of the three sworn brothers, Sabo's mind is obviously more mature than Ace. In fact, he should be the eldest brother of Ace and Luffy.

Ace is too easily influenced by emotions, and likes to act recklessly and not listen to advice. Tianmu has already revealed that he will be arrested, and the Whitebeard Pirates will be buried with him.

Instead of returning to Whitebeard immediately, he chose to send people to deal with the Blackbeard Pirates, killing some scum recruited by Teach, and ended up getting himself killed.

If Sabo were in Ace's position, he would probably give up chasing Blackbeard and choose to return to Whitebeard to protect himself.

Whether there is a trap in the lantern ring that Buggy gave to Sabo, only Sabo will know after using it. "This ring is an alien object. If you get its recognition, you will gain power far beyond the devil fruit."

The first owner chosen by the ring was actually Buggy, who was inspired by the Joker's strong belief. The stronger the will and belief, the stronger the power to control the ring.

However, Bucky did not expect that this lantern ring came with a sense of good and evil when it left the factory. After Bucky put it on his hand, the lantern ring invaded the Joker's brain and read the host's thoughts.

The lantern ring didn't want to be used by a villain, so it broke away from Bucky's finger on its own and wanted to fly out to find another owner. If this alien power couldn't be used by the Joker, he certainly didn't want to give it to others.

The Lantern Ring is held firmly in the Joker's hand. With the power of the Devil Fruit, the kindness of the Lantern Ring is suppressed, allowing it to stay in his hand temporarily. The master chosen by the Joker for it is Sabo.

"The moment I put on the lantern ring, I understood that the lantern ring gives the host some abilities, such as the ability to create things in the void at will. The price is that it cannot be preserved for a long time. It is just right for young people to use their wild imagination to give the lantern ring stronger creativity." Buggy is looking forward to the day when Sabo wears the lantern ring.

The sky has exposed the ability of Sabo, the future second-generation revolutionary army commander. In the future, he will wear the red lantern ring and be called the Red Son. He will demonstrate the use of energy shields to resist damage.

Sabo picked up the lantern ring that was flashing red light. He had not yet decided to accept this power. Smart people would know that once bound to this lantern ring, it would only be separated when the host died.

The lantern ring will provide various powers, which need to be discovered by the host himself. Bucky used the lantern ring for too short a time and only understood the abilities of the void creation.

For ordinary people, wearing the Lantern Ring to gain powerful strength means that choice is more important than effort. Once Sabo puts on the Lantern Ring, he will not be interested in the Devil Fruit, even if he will not inherit Ace's Flame-Flame Fruit after his death.

As for the dragon claw hand that he was proud of, it was just a piece of cake in front of the powerful ability of the lantern ring. The limitations of the dragon claw hand were still too great, and it was not as flexible as using the lantern ring.

Seeing that Sabo was still hesitant, Buggy came up with another crazy idea, "You haven't seen Luffy and Ace for many years since you joined the Revolutionary Army. It's a good opportunity for you to meet them today. Come out and call upon your clone to transmit the surveillance view over."

Absolutely?! I seem to remember Sabo appearing in the Sky Curtain. The Joker Pirates' leaders are truly talented.

In the dark cabin, two gray-green vines suddenly emerged from the cracks in the metal wall. They grew wildly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and their tendrils entwined and intertwined like living things, eventually forming an airtight plant cocoon in the center of the cabin.

The cocoon is layered, wrapped around a huge serrated leaf with an eerie dark purple luster on the edge. It is tightly closed like the insect trap of some carnivorous plant.

Under the gaze of everyone, the leaves began to slowly crack, making a subtle sound similar to fibers tearing.

The jagged edges curled outward, revealing a curled-up human figure inside—pale skin, black eye sockets without pupils, it was none other than White Zetsu.

His naked body was as smooth as clay, with faint vein-like light blue lines visible at the joints, and his limbs were folded at unnatural angles, as if he had just been peeled from the mother's body.

The next second, White Zetsu's head lifted slightly, and the originally solid skull gradually faded in color like melted wax, and the surface skin became transparent like a cicada's wing.

Through the translucent skull, one can clearly see that what is inside is not brain tissue, but a flowing, blurry human figure... The picture switches quickly, and finally freezes on the faces of two young people.

"Luffy, Ace!" Sabo recognized the faces of the two brothers. The White Zetsu could pass information to each other, and the surveillance footage provided was the information transmitted back by the White Zetsu who had infiltrated the brothers' side at close range.

Ace in the picture is in a closed space with no windows to let in sunlight. He is only accompanied by a white light on the ceiling.

Ace was held in solitary confinement in a cell where he could not see the sunrise or sunset, which reduced the prisoner's sense of time. He could not remember how long he had been imprisoned.

Kerla has better medical knowledge than Sabo. She has learned the most basic battlefield medical treatment. "There is something wrong with Ace. It's not just that he is too thin. His mental state is sluggish. Are those needle marks on his arm?"

The surveillance angle provided by White Zetsu is very clear. When you hear the conversation on the boss's end, you can even actively zoom in and out to focus on Ace's arm.

As Kerla expected, the woman covered her mouth in shock. She saw two arms with dozens of needle holes distributed at the location of Ace's blood vessels.

Looking at this scene of injury, even a fool could guess that blood had been drawn from both of Ace's arms. The navy did not treat him as a human being, but as a consumable.

The blood vessels have shown signs of collapse, which has depleted Ace's energy in a short period of time. Even if Ace is rescued afterwards, it will take at least a year and a half for his body to return to normal, and there may be sequelae.

White Zetsu also considerately turned the surveillance camera angle, allowing Sabo to see Ace's skinny back and the unhealed needle holes, which were the holes left by the extraction of cerebrospinal fluid.

The needle used to draw cerebrospinal fluid is much larger than the needle used to draw blood. Caesar Clown did not treat the son of the Pirate King as a human being, and no one in the navy expressed any opinion except Garp.

Sabo's eyes turned red when he saw this scene. He didn't expect the navy to treat Ace like this. He thought that withholding food and water from his brother was already the limit. He didn't expect that he thought too highly of the navy.

"Has Garp allowed this to happen? Has he already disowned Ace as his grandson?" Sabo didn't call Garp "Grandpa," his dissatisfaction with the teacher was evident in his words.

Of course Sabo didn't know that this was the result of Garp's intervention. If the navy hero had beaten Caesar Kulang one day later, that crazy scientist might have really removed Ace's organs without authorization.

Caesar Clown believed that as long as Ace was still alive and did not die in prison for the time being, when the navy and the pirates went to war, he would still be able to breathe and talk on the execution platform, and his weak body would not affect the overall situation.

Ace almost lost one of his kidneys, and then died in Marineford. His body would become a trophy of the navy, and it is very likely that he would not be buried like before.

Caesar Kulang will lead the team to dismantle his body and remove all useful parts of Ace. The body of the son of the Pirate King also has extremely high research value for scientists.
