I'm So Ashamed of Being Born a Noble!!

Chapter's Events:

—————————

"Ace!! Luffy!!"

"Run!! Hurry!!!"

Sabo arrived at the large gate separating the burning Gray Terminal from the inner city.

"Look! There's still a child who hasn't evacuated!!"

"Get him out of there!!!"

Sabo's arrival caught the guards' attention, and they quickly moved him out of the way.

"Unghh…"

Sabo collapsed next to a man dressed in a green cloak that covered his entire body except for his face.

At that moment, Sabo was crying bitterly, attracting the mysterious man's attention.

"… What's troubling you, boy?"

Dragon looked curiously at the pathetic child crying before him, wondering what had brought him to this state.

"Old man…!! pant … The ones behind… this fire… are the royals… and the nobles…!! pant… you've got to believe me…!"

Sabo, feeling as though he had grasped his last lifeline, poured out everything he had been hiding deep in his heart.

"… There's something in this district that smells worse than the trash heap ever did…!!!"

"The people here are rotten to their core!!!"

"If I stay here…!! Haa… I'll never be free…!!!" Sabo's tears continued to flow as he cried out,

"… I'm so ashamed to have been born a noble…!!!"

Dragon was shocked, not expecting to hear such words from a child in such a situation.

("… See what you've driven this innocent boy to say…!!! Damn you, Kingdom of Goa!!")

"Oh, I understand… I too was born in this country…!!"

"But even now, I don't have the power to change this land's ways…!!!" Dragon felt deep sympathy for the boy from the bottom of his heart.

"Old man… do you really believe me?" Sabo asked.

"Yes… I won't forget your words."

…

"Run!! Luffy!!!"

Back at the Gray Terminal, Ace and Luffy were running from the flames that were chasing them.

…

"Dragon…!! Preparations are complete!!!" At that moment, Dragon received the news he had been waiting for.

"... Good." Dragon's response was firm and resolute.

•———•———•———•———•

Dragon watched the scene unfold, feeling a deep sensation coursing through his body.

After realizing what had just happened, he remained silent for a long time.

The same went for the other members of the Revolutionary Army, from Garp to Inazuma, who were left speechless.

It wasn't just the Revolutionary Army who were shocked; regular readers were also left in greater disbelief than anyone.

…

"I'm so ashamed to have been born a noble!!… For a child to say such words, just how corrupt is the Kingdom of Goa!?"

"The Kingdom of Goa needs to be cleansed of these scum today, not tomorrow!"

"The royal family and nobles must be executed one by one; only then will I feel at peace!"

"They all know about the inferno, and they're all happy with it… It's no wonder Sabo feels that living there is unbearable!"

"Of all the people in that place, only Sabo, a mere 10-year-old child, is the natural one… It's unbelievable."

"Now that the Revolutionary Army, led by Dragon-san, has arrived, they'll surely take care of the situation, right?"

Readers in the Kingdom of Sorbet were utterly stunned by Sabo's tearful words to Dragon, which moved them deeply.

Most found it hard to believe… They felt exactly what Dragon felt—disgust at the toxicity of the Kingdom of Goa that pushed a young child to such a level of maturity.

…

"I, too, will never forget these words for as long as I live,"

The scene of Sabo's crying and his repeated plea, "Do you really believe me?" was forever engraved in Dragon's eyes at that moment.

In the manga, Dragon's answer was, "Yes… I will not forget your words." And just like that, his answer was the same now.

"Your counterpart has already emerged… As expected, the place where I was born, I didn't expect it to have become this filthy."

"As Sabo said, their stench is worse than a trash heap… and much thicker."

Garp felt a wave of intense anger at that moment, unable to believe he was witnessing such a scene in the land where he had been raised.

"The king who's supposed to protect his subjects is the one killing them… This world needs more than just one Revolutionary Army to cleanse it of its deep-rooted corruption."

"It seems every person there has a little Tenryubito inside them, waiting for the right moment to grow," Crocodile remarked with disgust.

"No, as long as evil exists, so too does good. As long as the world continues to produce people like Sabo, nothing will remain the same," Dragon replied calmly.

"I don't know why, but I have this feeling… This Sabo will be a member of our Revolutionary Army,"

Dragon's gaze returned to Sabo's tear-streaked face.

"No, the boy clearly wants to be a pirate. With a nature like Luffy's and Ace's, there's no way you'll convince him otherwise. Buwahaha!" Garp laughed before adding,

"Someone told your counterpart that the preparations are complete… Maybe you still have a chance to beat me in this bet…"

…

In the Kingdom of Goa, nobles sitting inside the art store felt embarrassed, and no longer comfortable even in their luxurious chairs.

Even the aristocrats, who used private rooms, wiped the sweat from their foreheads at that moment.

Sabo's tearful words to Dragon made them instinctively sniff themselves, wondering if they too were emitting a foul odor.

Sabo's heartfelt words were like hot knives stabbing directly into their hearts, even the old man from earlier felt deeply ashamed.

'Are we really this terrible?'

This was the collective thought shared by all the nobles who had heard Sabo's words.

Some nobles scoffed internally, dismissing it as just the words of a child.

But others felt lost, beginning to question and reevaluate themselves.

A few felt as though something dormant within them had suddenly awakened.

These nobles, at that precise moment, began seeing the world from a different perspective than they ever had before.

…

"Just as Sabo said, the nobles' stench is far worse than that of the trash."

"I agree with him too!"

"If the nobles smell this foul, I wonder what the king of Goa smells like? I bet it's on another level of filth!"

"Oh my God, thank goodness I wasn't born a noble. Poor Sabo… he's stuck with those wretched parents."

The readers' comments and words caused the nobles to leave the art store one by one, feeling more humiliated than ever before.

Today was the day when the moral value of being noble versus being common was shattered worldwide. Today, nobles were ashamed of calling themselves nobles!

This was the true moment when the traditional hierarchy of the kingdoms, passed down for centuries, began to collapse… and the reason was Sabo's words through the One Piece manga!

…

In Baterilla, Rouge covered her mouth in shock at that moment.

She didn't expect to see such a strong child in such a state of vulnerability.

Wiping away a tear forming at the corner of her eye, Rouge whispered, "I'm starting to hate this world in the manga…"

…

"If Sabo knew the random man he met on the street and said all that to was Luffy's father, how would he feel!?"

Roger smiled as he watched the scene unfold.

"Of course, he'd be utterly shocked," Gaban responded.

"But fate sure plays strange tricks," Rayleigh added.

"If this is how the Revolutionary Army and Sabo are brought together, then surely this boy's future lies with the Revolutionary Army, doesn't it?"

"A noble who hates nobles… wanting to be free… I see him becoming a great asset to your team, Dragon."
