Sabo was taken aback that his main secret got exposed so easily but then he remembered what Ken spoke of the powers that were unique to their own world. He had given a rough explanation at that time but today he got to see the power for the first time.
Kenbunshou Haki.
Sabo sighed and then said
"I can't tell you how I can walk on water nor many things that I do that might be unique to you but I can tell you that I came here to truly change the world for the better. I am willing to lend you my power. But if I see any kind of foul play I will leave. I have seen my own father being responsible for the fire in the Gray Terminal, I want to make sure that such incidents never happen again." Sabo was trying to be the man here. He wanted to negotiate. Sabo was still in the bubble that his powers could rival that of the people present.
Ignorance was bliss!!
Dragon looked at Sabo for sometime while Ivankov was just giggling by the side after seeing the courage of the kid.
"OH!! So you want to change the world? Hahaha.. What an interesting kid. Fine I won't ask you why you could walk on water and you can join. But if I find your words don't make up to your actions, I will throw you to the sea and then I will see how many days you could walk on water." Dragon said.
Ivankov got the signal from Dragon and proceeded to take Sabo away. Before Sabo left, he looked at Dragon and said
"I am the brother of Luffy and I hope you will not play tricks on me. And I am not a KID..."
Dragon instantly shuddered when he heard that. He turned his head and looked at Sabo with glint in his eyes. Ivankov had never seen such reactions ever from Dragon before. 'He' could see that Dragon's face had all kinds of emotions written on it, but this was only for a second before he turned back to normal.
"Tch.." Dragon didn't speak more and just looked at the night sea like always. Ivankov didn't delay more and just took Sabo away but 'he' was thinking of what Sabo said so 'he' asked
"Who is Luffy?"
"Ask him on your own. You will know." Sabo said while giving a mischievous smile. The process was much easier than Sabo expected, probably because they thought him as a kid which was true in one sense. But he had lived a life of blood and death so only he knew how mature he was. Though he had his own secrets, it was good that these people didn't inquire more on this.

Actually, Dragon and Ivankov were not particularly interested in the technique of walking on water. Though it was unique, the sea was big and there were countless unique things in this world. If Sabo could speak of this on his own, then it would be better.
They were more surprised by the fact that Sabo came from a noble family. That was unique and this could give them a lot of leverage in the future. And in this way, the life of Sabo in the revolutionary army started.
Meanwhile, Ken, Ace and Luffy were back at Dadan's place. Ken knew that the upcoming days would be boring and uneventful. It would be a long stretch of years for him. And from the start itself he had decided that he had decided that he would join the Straw Hats so even if he could go to the sea at the age of 17 he needed for Luffy to reach his age.
Ace would join Whitebeard and he didn't want to join a crew which was big from the start itself and he wasn't sure he could stop himself from confronting Teach when he saw him. So it was better to stay away from the life of Ace.
He could make his own crew but Ken in his past life was a person who had less social skills. It was too boring and too much hard work to search for a good crew. It was better to join Luffy's who had the best crew.
He could also steal Luffy's crew but that would be a violation of the fact that Luffy was his brother. No matter what, that would be a betrayal of some kind and he wasn't ruthless enough to back stab his own brother. The guilt would eat Ken up so it was better that he followed Luffy and made some better decisions and changed the course as much as possible.
Months went by like this. The three practiced like crazy. In order for Ken to practice, he had 'hired' the rulers of the forest to be his gym partner. Ace and Luffy were angry about this because they wanted to kill the tiger and the bear to eat their meat but Ken basically bullied these two animals into being the 'dumbells' and other equipment for Ken.
They were envious too seeing such power of Ken but they also had their own merits. Makino and the Chief of the Village had once visited them and gave away some delicious food and some clothes for the three brothers. Ken just looked at Makino with apprehensive eyes.
After time skip Makino had a baby and it was a mystery who the father was. Many thought it to be Shanks but that too was questionable.
"Oda, you have hidden so many things!!"
Luffy, Ken and Ace had a good time with Makino and even Garp came to look into his grandsons. Of course Luffy was being dumb and he straight out got punched by Garp. Luffy for the first time tried dodging the fist of Garp but in no way he could avoid it. It was as if the fist of Garp could follow him everywhere.
Garp was actually surprised that Luffy had the speed to even dodge but he was happy in his heart that Luffy and Ace were becoming powerful. They would join the marines with Ken. Oh boy! He was there for one rude 'awakening'.
Thus years pass by and *cough*. There was a time skip!!!
