[It seemed impossible for him, too. And he'd even gone as far as to accuse Ace of being a fake, a phony, someone playing a bad joke and for it to be just some sort of prank done on his expense.

But it had turned out to be his brother, and for the short time he was around--Luffy had spent every moment he could at the Firey man's side. Until he disappeared one day from Zeta-12 after running ahead during the mission.]

Yeah. I trust Ban a lot. He's a really great guy, so I don't think he'd lie about stuff like that. [He nods, a solid movement with his head. He's convinced he's right, and nothing will say otherwise. A hand draws across Sabo's back, and he doesn't care that they're pretty much sitting on the floor of a clothing shop. Stares be damned.]

Until then, we just gotta' do a good job and wait for him.
