Alabasta Kingdom, Atla Mountains. At the entrance of a wooden villa on a bustling street. "Ace!...Luffy!... So that's it, I remember everything now..." As various memory fragments kept surfacing in his mind, Sabo lay on the ground, looking up at the blue sky with white clouds drifting by.
Tears welled up in his eyes, and his expression was a mix of crying and laughing, showing a complex range of emotions. Mr. Sephiroth walked out of the villa leisurely, stood beside Sabo, and said with a mischievous smile:
"See, the treatment method I told you about, no injections, no medicine, fast results! I didn't lie to you, did I!
If you lose your memory again next time, you can still come to me, I'll give you a 20% discount!" Sabo: "..." To be fair, although Mr. Sephiroth's physical therapy was extremely effective and could be said to have immediate results, he felt that this guy had a bit of a retaliatory element to it... After all, he had just suspected that Mr.
Sephiroth was one of the masterminds behind the Alabasta Kingdom. "Cough!...Mr. Sephiroth, I appreciate your kindness! I definitely won't come to you for treatment next time." Sabo's face was dark as he raised his hand and patted the size 48 shoe print on his face. "Tsk tsk tsk! How heartless! Alright, since your amnesia is cured, get lost!" Mr.
Sephiroth waved his hand impatiently and turned to walk towards the wooden villa which had a large hole knocked through the wall. "Nana, the villa wall is broken, go find a construction team to fix it. Money is not an issue, but I require them to fix it within two days." "Oh! Okay, I'll go now." Upon hearing this, Vivi nodded.
She quickly ran out of the villa and headed towards the construction site in the distance. ...... Atla Mountains. At a bustling construction site, workers were sweating profusely as they built the factory buildings. Vivi, wearing a pink nurse uniform, scanned the construction site.
Soon, she found a middle-aged man in the crowd wearing a gray construction suit, with peculiar curly hair, holding a shovel and shoveling sand. Immediately, she quickly walked over and asked in a low voice:
"Igaram, last time I asked you to investigate the identity of the woman who brought the money, did you find out?"
"I found out, that woman is the manager of the Rain Dinners casino, her name seems to be Amonet." "Rain Dinners casino? Isn't that the property of the Shichibukai Crocodile?" Upon hearing this, Vivi couldn't help but frown and murmured in a low voice:
"Why would that woman deliver a large cart of money to Mr. Sephiroth.
Although I only caught a glimpse at the time, I estimate there was almost a hundred billion Berries..." Igaram put down the shovel in his hand, clapped his dusty hands, and then crossed his arms, saying:
"The latest news I received is that the woman seems to have resigned, she hasn't returned to the Rain Dinners casino after delivering the money. Hmm!? I also heard another piece of news.
Some time ago, Mr. Sephiroth seemed to have gone to the Rain Dinners casino to cause trouble, and in just a few minutes, he won three hundred million Berries, and then he was invited to the VIP room by Crocodile... Judging by Mr. Sephiroth's gambling skills, Princess Vivi, do you think that hundred billion Berries might actually be what he won in the VIP room...?" "What?
Won three hundred million Berries in just a few minutes? His gambling skills are actually that amazing!" Princess Vivi said in surprise. "Yes! Many people in the casino saw it, Mr. Sephiroth won so much that the dealer didn't dare to continue dealing."
Vivi rested her chin on her hand and said thoughtfully:
"So, it's possible that this massive sum of a hundred billion Berries is indeed the wealth he won from gambling. According to what you said, the Shichibukai Crocodile should not have conspired with Mr. Sephiroth..." "Princess, have you investigated any news?" Igaram tentatively said. "Yes, I have!
Here's the polished version with improved flow and natural phrasing while preserving all content:

The Revolutionary Army's Chief of Staff, Sabo, had just visited Sephiroth. Their discussion ended abruptly when Sephiroth kicked him straight through the villa wall, sending him crashing into the street. From their heated exchange, it was clear they had history.
"The Revolutionary Army?!" Igaram's voice sharpened with alarm. "I never expected Sephiroth to have ties to that dangerous group."
To the world, the Revolutionary Army was a threat—Dragon's forces championed freedom and democracy while toppling governments, leaving chaos in their wake.
Vivi's eyes widened as realization struck. She clapped her hands together.
"That's it! If we assume Alabasta's turmoil was a joint scheme between the Umbrella Corporation and the Revolutionary Army, everything falls into place!" Her voice quickened with excitement. "The Revolutionary Army sows dissent, turning the people against the crown, while Umbrella swoops in to manipulate Father. All we need is proof to expose the truth!"
Igaram frowned. "Princess, we've investigated enough. Let King Cobra handle the rest. Pushing further could be deadly."
"You can't catch a tiger cub without entering its den!" Vivi shot back. "I'll find the evidence and make that scoundrel pay!"
Igaram scratched his head. "Uh… which scoundrel?"
"Sephiroth, obviously!" She said it like the answer was written in the stars.
"Princess, I beg you—drop this. Sephiroth is dangerous in every possible way."
"Never!" Vivi's chin lifted defiantly. "I've already earned his trust. He's giving me access to sensitive documents. The clues are there—I just need time!"
Vivi patted her chest, which was already starting to develop, her confidence unwavering. As Igaram studied the determined princess before him, a dark thought crept in—rumors of Sephiroth's… unconventional appetites. The unease in his gut sharpened into dread.
