"This is the Sabaody Archipelago, is it really okay?"
Riding on a slave, a snot-nosed man who looked like he had some mental defect said with some worry at this moment.
"It's fine, it's fine, this is Orin-sama's territory. As long as we don't violate the rules here, nothing will happen~"
Beside him, Shalria, who was walking on her own, was very disdainful, feeling that this brother of hers was too cowardly.
"Y... Yeah, Father was executed by the God's Knights because he didn't follow the rules, so there was no helping it, right."
Charlos breathed a sigh of relief, then immediately recovered the arrogance and confidence of a Celestial Dragon.
"As long as we don't kill commoners randomly on this island and pay for things we buy, nothing will happen, right~"
"These pirates and whatnot... if they think they can offend World Nobles just because they are on the Sabaody Archipelago, then they should prepare to be exterminated."
Regarding internal matters of the Celestial Dragons, they might be submissive, after all, they are the bottom-tier Celestial Dragons with the least power and status,
But that doesn't mean outsiders can offend them.
Walking on the street, all the commoners passing by knelt down, including Luffy who was forced to kneel by Hatchan holding his head,
When seeing a slave being cruelly tortured to death, Luffy wanted to stand up for them but was held down.
The group came to an open space and sat down.
Chopper, as a bumpkin of the sea, didn't understand why tall and big pirates had to be afraid of those two men and women who looked very weak.
Pappag the starfish explained the existence of Celestial Dragons to them.
"If you dare to hurt a Celestial Dragon, the Navy Headquarters will send an Admiral and an army to crusade against you."
These words gave them a fright,
Because they had witnessed Aokiji's terrifying power, that was absolute, crushing strength.
"Admiral Aokiji?"
"There's also Kizaru and Akainu, it could be anyone."
Chopper didn't understand why Celestial Dragons were so special.
"They are the descendants of God. As the descendants of the twenty kings from eight hundred years ago, the creators of the World Government, they possess the greatest power in the world..."
"Oh right, including the one we met on the ship before, the true owner of the Sabaody Archipelago,[Black Gun] Orin, is said to be a mysterious Celestial Dragon as well."
"Nani?!!!"
Luffy jumped up, his expression somewhat exaggerated.
"Orin-san, is actually one of those hateful guys too?!!!"
Brook's focus was more on another aspect.
"Then doesn't that mean if that Orin-san wanted to deal with someone, he could mobilize a Navy Admiral at will?"
Hearing this, Chopper's face immediately turned terrified,
Because he remembered that the Straw Hat Pirates were going to go to war with that man, he wouldn't call Admiral Aokiji over, would he!!?
"...Theoretically that's the case, but unless it's for fun, there's absolutely no need."
The starfish, as an old hand near the Sabaody Archipelago, had rich life experience. He folded his arms and pondered.
"You guys don't even know about the existence of Celestial Dragons, one can tell you are rookies setting out to sea for the first time..."
"You simply cannot understand what the name Orin meant to the sea many years ago."
"That was a title even more terrifying than a Navy Admiral..."
...
"What Black Gun title?"
"Who is that???"
Inside a dim and lively tavern, a man with red spiky hair was gulping down alcohol. Hearing the crew member next to him, his expression sank.
"The time was too short, intelligence isn't sufficient, but what is known is that he was once a world-renowned great pirate, And is also the true owner of most industries in the Sabaody Archipelago now."
"World-renowned pirate?"
Kid curled his lips in disdain, wearing an incomparably arrogant smile on his face.
"Among those old geezers, the most powerful pirates, as far as I know, are already the Yonko of the New World, right~ Is this Black Gun one too?"
"Uh..."
The underling heard this and flipped through the intelligence in his hand.
"This... no."
"Then that settles it. Our goal is to go to the other side of the Red Line and defeat the Yonko!!!"
"No need to waste too much time on this kind of guy."
Orin has disappeared from the sea for nearly ten years, and after returning, he has never appeared in the public eye with great fanfare,
So now, stories about him are mostly legends.
Beside him, Killer, wearing a mask and drinking alcohol through a straw,
Reminded Kid at this moment,
"Kid, besides this Black Gun, there are quite a few rookies with bounties over a hundred million on the island."
"I heard there are also Celestial Dragons..."
Perhaps others would feel a bit troubled or cautious hearing this news,
But Kid wouldn't. He was extremely confident in himself.
"I know, Killer. We came to the Sabaody Archipelago to coat the ship and go to the New World, we have no time to tangle with other guys,"
"But..."
As Kid spoke, he looked at the Longarm tribe member with an idiotic face at the table opposite him, who actually dared to provoke him. Veins instantly popped out on his face.
"Meeting guys with no eyes, it's more satisfying to just kill them!!!"
[Roar of the Sea] Scratchmen Apoo!
He was also drinking with his crew at this time. After seeing Kid's look, he decisively extended an international friendly gesture,
Young Supernovas, ready to fight if something didn't look right.
Accompanied by a burst of explosive smoke and dust,
Apoo flew out backwards first, tumbling in the air and landing steadily.
"[Captain] Eustass Kid, and [Massacre Soldier] Killer, if you want to fight, wait until we get to the other side of the Red Line!!"
"Dare to stare at me, I'll kill you right now."
Kid showed no restraint, his expression incomparably cruel.
The surrounding residents all scattered and fled upon seeing this scene. These pirates with bounties over a hundred million causing trouble wasn't something they could handle,
But someone could handle it.
Just as the two sides were about to fight,
A team of guards hurriedly rushed over, but they didn't attack directly. Instead, they split into two rows, like a ceremonial guard.
The two groups of pirates looked strange at first upon seeing this scene,
But Apoo was the first to react. As if he thought of something, his pupils instantly trembled. He immediately wanted to shout for his crew to flee,
But in the next second, he found he couldn't even speak.
Not only that, he couldn't even move a muscle. The Kid Pirates were the same.
Staring at the red hedgehog head, the originally arrogant and domineering Kid now had bloodshot eyes and was grinding his teeth to the point of shattering, but he couldn't move a single bit.
"What is going on?!!!"
Then came the sound of footsteps from the end of the road. Under the salutes of the ceremonial guard,
Slowly entering the stage like a monarch,
"Ma... since I met you first, let's start with you guys~"
