As the pirates watch the dragons play the pigs as they beat them up, throwing them and catching only to throw them again. Everyone suddenly heard Silver speak.

Silver's voice might not be that loud. Everyone still heard him despite the commotion they were watching. The dragons stopped and just floated up in the air with the pigs in their hands all beaten up with snot and tears on them.

The pirates stopped cheering and looked at Silver. Seeing Silver looking up and hearing the name, Monkey D. Dragon and Sabo, they also all looked up.

Ace who didn't join the beating of the pigs since arriving and went to Shanks and drank with him and the others perked up when he heard the name 'Sabo'.

Looking up as the sun hanging up above block his view preventing him seeing who Silver is looking at put up his arms above his forehead, blocking the blinding light coming from the sun.

When he finally got a clearer view, he saw two figures floating up and descended slowly. When the two figures finally reach the ground, everyone can finally see their faces.

One is wearing a long black jacket with a buckle on the left sleeve, with a blue shirt and vest, a frilled cravat, and a simple belt holding a pair of loosen light-blue pants with black boots. He also wears a pair of brown gloves and the same top hat with goggles over the band and holding a pole in hand.

The other one is wearing in a long green cloak, underneath which he wears the garb of a revolutionary. He has spiky black hair with a widow's peak and a tattoo on the left side of his face; He also has stubble on his chin.

When Ace saw the first one, he rubbed his eyes roughly until they hurt. Opening them up again and staring at the familiar face who is also looking at him with a smile plastered on his face, Ace remembered what Luffy told him, 'Silver said Sabo is alive!'.

When Luffy told him what Silver said. Ace wanted to ask Silver about it, but Silver was busy and didn't have the time. Ace went around the Empire, asking if anyone saw or knows Sabo, but only to get a reply. "I don't know" from everyone on the Empire.

Now seeing a familiar face staring at him with a smile on his face, Ace couldn't help but tear up. Standing up and looking right into the eyes of the figure, Ace said, "Sabo?" with an unbelieving tone.

"Ace, it's been years, " said Sabo who also teared up.

Confirming that the figure is truly Sabo, Ace shouted, "Sabo!" with tears running down on his face and run at his fastest speed towards Sabo and hugged him tight. Tackling Sabo down on the ground.

Ace cried, seeing his sworn brother who he thought dead for years. He was happy and glad. Sabo also cried and laughed, feeling happy for finally seeing his sworn brother.

Ace let go of him and got up, extending his hand for Sabo to grab which he did and helped him up. Sabo said, "It's great seeing you again, Ace" as he patted Ace's shoulder with smile on his face.

"Sabo, H-how, where were you all these years?" inqiured Ace.

"We will talk later. First, let's help Dragon-san" said Sabo.

"Help? On what?" asked Ace.

"You will know" said Sabo as he readied himself in battle mode.

Ace seeing Sabo with a determine look also readied himself. Sworn brothers, finally met again after years passed and standing right beside each other, ready to fight an incoming battle.

-----------------------------—

When Dragon and Sabo descended, Dragon sent Sabo near Ace because he knew about them for Silver told him before when they met years ago.

Dragon descended near Silver and said, "Thank you for giving me this opportunnity" as he nodded his head at Silver.

"Don't mind it. It's just a small matter. Now go take your revenge," replied Silver.

Dragon nodded and averted his gaze from Silver and looked into the palace. Activating his Armament Haki and coving himself from head to toe. Dragon shouted, "IM! Come out!" as he also activated all of his skills and prowess.

Dragon's voice reverberated throughout the place, his voice was loud and angry for everyone to hear.

Most looked at him and silently gulped.

Few knew about 'IM' and those who knew can't be counted by one's fingers.

Shanks frowned, Whitebeard stared, Lin Lin expressionless, Silver smiled, and Jack chugged down his Rum with a *Hic*.

The others:….

With Dragons' resounding angry voice that reverberated throughout the place, a figure slowly walked into the palace balcony, which is almost destroyed and stood there.

The figure that stood at the palace balcony possessed a humanoid figure with sharp almond eyes with light-colored irises that have thin circles surrounding the pupils. He wears a crown that has four sharp, tall spikes on the top and an extremely long robe that flows upon the ground a great distance behind him.

This figure is known as IM: No one knew what kind of power he possesses. No one from the outside ever saw him except for some. IM is the top of the world government; He is the one who controls everything to his wishes.

He is the one who sits at the Empty Throne and commanding the five Elders before. No one knows how he truly looks like. No one knows how old he is. No one knows his real identity. He is someone that almost no one on the world have ever heard and knew of.

He is IM, the shadow who controls everything from the darkness.

"Monkey D. Dragon. We meet again" mockingly said IM as he stared at Dragon.

Dragon smiled.

Using everything he got. He leaped up towards IM with a fist covered with his fruit ability and Haki and punched forward.

Dragon shouted.

"I will spare nothing!

I will give everything!

Even if I die!

I will kill you!

I will take revenge for my wife!"

*BOOOOMMMMM*
