Luffy was right when he said that Ace lied about having no regrets. Ace had so many regrets. His spirit was restless. He wasn’t ready to die.
When Sabo lay comatose he dreamed for three days. He remembered the life he’d forgotten. And he remembered a life that he’d never gotten to be a part of. When he woke up, Koala noticed right away that something was wrong. But it would take some time before she understood that it wasn’t only Sabo who was there with her now.
Sabo promised that he wouldn’t leave the Revolutionary army, but what will become of the three of them now that Ace is awake and alive in his heart, and more importantly, his body?
