"I want a telescope!" Luffy declared

We're back on Dawn Island now, Shinji was coming back from Marineford & was more than happy to see them after a few months from them, when she told them about her coming back they were overjoyed! Now they're at the Gray Terminal to add a few more things to their tree house to surprise her even more

… & that brings us too…

"Dumbass, you think something like that's just gonna fall out of the sky?"

"In that case, I'd rather find a cannon."

"If a cannon fell out of the sky, that'd be awesome!" the three started laughing, unaware of the pirates lurking in the forest "Its no use Ace! I can't find a telescope!"

"Luffy, why are you looking for a telescope? Go find some unstable wood instead!" Sabo was looking around while carrying some wood over his shoulder when he miraculously came across, a telescope, so with a laugh he picked it up

"Its a telescope! Luffy will sure be happy!" that was when he was approached by pirates, the Bluejam pirates to be exact

"Hey kiddo. I never would have guessed that one of the infamous three troublemakers was a noble!"

"Bluejam! How did you know that?!"

"Hey, don't hurt him, now." a few of the pirates started approaching him & attempted to grab him, but he easily dodged it

"You wanna fight? Bastard!" soon enough a barrel came rolling down a hill & hit one of the pirates in the face, immediately Luffy & Ace jumped out of the barrel. The three started fighting against the Bluejam pirates & were winning & were about to go against Bluejam himself until he pulled a gun out & shot at them, so they had to run & take cover

"Alright, kids. Stay where you are!"

"We're not scared of that gun! Our sister Shinji sometimes threatens us with the ones she finds!" that's when they got grabbed "Damn! Let me go!"

"Damn you!"

"Move! Or I'll send you flying!"

"Let me go, you bastards!" Ace & Sabo froze when the guards came, & with them was... Outlook III, Sabo's father

"Master, he doesn't have a single scratch on him." Sabo froze as he started at his father with shock

"Father..." Luffy & Ace looked at Sabo with wide eyes as the pirate slowly approached his father with Sabo in his arms

'My father would go this far, just to get me back?!'

"I see, it must be because of these two? They led Sabo down the path of evil?"

"Give Sabo back!"

"You've got some nerve! Sabo is my son, lying to Sabo & convincing him to run away from home! Just a measly pair of kids like you! Are you attempting to steal my fortune?!"

"What was that you bastard?!" Ace was suddenly lifted up & slammed into the ground, his blood landed on Outlook's face

"Hey now, pirate! Be careful how you handle these children! You got some of this inferior filths blood on my face!" he complained as he used a handkerchief to wipe it off

"Ace!" Sabo stares up at his father in fear & goes to say something but was cut short

'N-No… not now! We don't need her to be worried!'
