As time passed.
The relationship between the few of them became closer and more familiar.
Ron and Guina would sometimes stop practicing their swordsmanship and follow Ace and the other two up the mountain to have fun.
Diving.
Capture the Horned Beetle.
He was going to compete with a monkey who knew how to box.
Luffy couldn't even defeat one of them, but Ron single-handedly defeated the entire group of monkeys, earning the respect of Ace and the other two.
The old bear, giant tiger, and other ferocious beasts on the mountain had also been defeated and tamed by Ron during this period of time.
Sometimes, he would even bring Luffy and the other two to ride on the giant tiger and travel through the mountains, laughing and laughing.
To Luffy and the other two.
The strong, calm, and mature Ron had become the goal they yearned for.
……
On this day.
It started to rain heavily on the mountain.
The five of them hurriedly looked for a place to hide from the rain and finally found a tree hole.
The five of them sat side by side and looked at the rain in front of them.
Someone laughed first.
Then, the five of them laughed together.
Ron, who had been tensed up in order to become stronger, also felt a rare sense of complete relaxation.
After completely integrating into the body of this age.
He seemed to be getting closer to this world.
"Hahaha, Ron, Guina, I've decided.”
Luffy smiled happily and said," When I become the Pirate King, I want you to be my companions like Ace and Sabot!”
"I don't want to."
Guina rejected him directly.
"Why?"
Luffy looked at him in confusion.
"My goal is to become the world's number one sword hero, not a pirate.”
Guina said firmly.
"Oh, forget it then. What about you, Ron? Will you become my companion?"
Luffy looked at Ron.
Ace, Sabot, and Guina also looked at him.
Ron, who was looking at the rain outside, turned his head and smiled at the four of them."I don't know how to either."
" Ron," Sabot asked curiously," you're so strong, but you're still training so hard. Are you the same as Guina, aiming to be the strongest in the world?"”
"No, I want to enjoy life better.”
“…………”
The four of them were dumbfounded.
"Think about it. If you're not strong enough, can you eat delicious food, drink good wine, go wherever you want, and do whatever you want?”
said Ron solemnly to the four of them.
"Therefore, my goal is to become a traveler with absolute strength and to enjoy life!”
"This…is there any difference between them and pirates?”
"Of course!" " I'm not interested in that big secret treasure," Ron said without hesitation." I don't intend to rob other people's things, nor do I intend to dominate the sea or dominate a region. How can I be considered a pirate?"”
“…………。”
Ace, Sabot, and Guina were speechless.
So this is the reason why you're cultivating so hard.
What a…unique idea.
Luffy scratched his head." So you're saying that being a traveler is freer than being One Piece?" Then I don't want to be the Pirate King anymore. I want to be a traveler too!”
"Luffy, when you can hit me, you can talk about becoming a traveler.”
Ron raised his finger and flicked his forehead with a smile.
Luffy rubbed his forehead and grinned at him.
Ace looked at him dotingly."
"Stupid Luffy."
For a moment, everyone laughed.
………………
The happy and harmonious days did not last long.
What Sabot had been worried about happened.
His father, the noble Altruk III, issued a search warrant and posted it everywhere in the Goa Kingdom to find him.
In the middle of the night, he looked at the missing person warrant in his hand and looked at Ace and Luffy who were still sleeping soundly. He secretly made up his mind and made a decision.
On this day.
After the training.
Sabot called out to Ron and spoke to him privately.
Two days later, Sabot disappeared from Gorbo Mountain without saying goodbye.
While Ace and Luffy were frantically searching for him.
Ron arrived at the bandit's house.
In the bandit house, Darden was smoking a cigarette as he looked at the missing person notice in his hand.
"Big Sister, there's a little brat outside who says he's looking for you.”
"Huh? Little brat?"
Darden stood up." I'll go take a look.”
She walked out of the house.
A black-haired boy with a long saber on his back stood in front of the house. He was clearly facing a group of fierce and tall bandits, but his expression was so calm that it was surprising.
"Which family are you from?"
Da Dan walked up to him and said. "Why are you looking for me?"
"Before Sabot left, he asked me to find an opportunity to give you this letter.”
The black-haired boy's words caused Darden's expression to change slightly.
She took a letter from him and did not open it immediately. Instead, she looked at him and said,"I heard that the three of them are training with a boy about their age. That boy should be you, right?”
Ron said nothing.
"Did Sabot say anything else to you?”
Ron looked at the missing person warrant in her hand and looked at the old woman who looked fierce but was actually kind at heart."He said that he wanted to go back and end things with that family. If everything goes well, he will be back soon.”
Dadan loosened his grip on the missing person warrant.
"Then why didn't he tell us face to face?”
"I asked him the same question. He said that if he told you face to face, he might not be able to make up his mind in the end.”
said Ron quietly.
"That…stupid brat!"
Da Dan wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes. "It's just going home. Is there a need to be so pretentious? Why are you making others worry?"
Ron said nothing.
But he knew how much Sabot hated that family.
Choosing to go back and end everything alone, how much courage did it take?
"Then, I'll take my leave first."
Ron nodded at her and turned to leave.
"Thank you for helping Sabot and saving Luffy and the others.”
Darden's voice sounded behind him, causing him to pause in his footsteps.
