Summary
When he leaves Dawn Island, he has a red-orange mark on one arm, and an ash-gray mark on the other. Sabo’s color faded the day he died. Luffy misses it more than everything else he left behind put together—the treehouse, Makino’s bar, the funny gibbons he grew up with, everything. It’s strange that it’s been gray longer than it had a chance to be blue.

Summary
According to the history annals of the Republic, the Je'daii civil war between the Sith and Jedi factions was won by the Jedi, defeating the Brotherhood of Darkness and reclaiming the name Je'daii. The Ruusan Reformation disbanded all Je'daii military forces, bringing them under the purview of the Republic, and tasking them with the large job of Galactic Peacekeeping.
According to the history annals of the Je'daii Order, the Sith won the civil war. The Ruusan Reformation is just one of many ways they have of keeping those who subscribe to the Jedi way of things unable to restart the war. The others are... less pleasant.
Of course, that just means that the Jedi are even more determined to break free. They've had 1,000 years to come up with a plan. They're ready to break their chains.

Summary
Damian grumbles low under his breath as he makes his way towards the manor’s parlor, his pre-written speech full of complains and the like regarding his family already memorized as he pushes the parlor’s door open and greets the odd Shakepearean worthy scene before his eyes.
It’s far from their typical Thursday, Damian will give them that, but then there’s only one explanation left.
“Oh, no.” Damian sighs from the door, dropping his shoulders in both exasperation and exhaustion. “Who died this time?”
(Or the one where Damian Wayne crosses the country after a failed kidnapping to get back to his family and they all believe he's dead again. He's well aware that his skills and stuborness are not appreciated enough.)
