Chapter 1124 Shampoo Islands
Chapter 1124 Shampoo Islands
"This..." Feeling Zhou Ning's mysterious temperament and indescribable sense of oppression, Doyle was speechless for a moment.
If someone else in front of him said this, Doyle would definitely think that the other person was a lunatic, would probably spit at him, and then leave without looking back.
But now, Doyle actually believed it so firmly that the worst that could happen was that he would die in the Sabaody Archipelago.
"I believe you." Doyle nodded vigorously.
……
Marine Headquarters, Marineford.
Rear Admiral Yuchimura of the Navy Headquarters hurried to the Marshal's office and met the Navy Marshal - Sengoku.
Marshal Zhan Guo is 75 years old this year. He wears a pair of frog glasses, his long beard is tied into a pigtail shape on his chin, and he wears a military cap with a seagull symbolizing "navy" on it. Under the cap is a big afro.
"Lord Zhan Guo, our escort fleet responsible for escorting Tenshang Jin was intercepted, and the Celestial Dragons on the ship were also... killed." Yuchimura reported with a grim expression.
"Puff!" Zhan Guo, who was drinking tea with his old friend Garp, spit out the tea in one gulp. He couldn't help but frowned and stood up.
"Who did it? How many enemies are here?"
Even Garp stopped eating his senbei and looked at Yukimura in confusion. Who am I? Where am I? What do I hear?
Yuchimura said bitterly:
"The enemy was just one man, whose origins are unknown. About five hours ago, he single-handedly defeated our entire fleet. Our shells had no effect on him. I couldn't even launch a counterattack against him. I could only watch as Rozward Saint was killed."
Zhan Guo's face darkened. He certainly wasn't saddened by the death of a Celestial Dragon, but the pressure from the World Government and the Five Elders was making him irritable. He looked at Yukimura and asked:
"Where's the clue?"
Yukimura lowered his head. "No. I only remember the enemy's appearance: he was wearing a black windbreaker and a black hat, and he was very handsome. He killed Rozward Saint with a single glance. Oh, and he also hijacked the slave ship that Rozward Saint was on."
"Before coming here, I have already contacted the garrisons on several nearby islands. If any suspicious vessel lands near an island or passes through a nearby waterway, please notify us immediately."
Zhan Guo's expression eased a little, and he nodded slightly and said:
"The aftermath was handled quite well. I'll have Vice Admiral Dalmeria follow up on this matter with you. I also need to inform the Five Elders of this matter. The death of a powerful Celestial Dragon involves too many things."
Yuchimura nodded respectfully and said:
"clear."
"Besides." Zhan Guo hesitated for a moment, then said, "Forget it, I'll let Kizaru be responsible for following up on this matter! Based on your description, I always feel that this enemy should not be that simple."
After sending Yukimura away, Sengoku took out a purple Den Den Mushi from the drawer. This was the Den Den Mushi that could contact Topman Vochuli, the God of Law and War among the Five Elder Stars.
……
This doldrums was not far from the Sabaody Archipelago. About seven hours later, Zhou Ning's sight came into view of the layers of large trees and dense bubbles in the air of the Sabaody Archipelago.
Near the headquarters of the Navy, there is the world's largest mangrove tree, the "Archiman mangrove". Because its roots are always exposed above the water, the Chagos Archipelago is formed.
The entire island is made up of 79 trees, each of which has towns and facilities. People call this archipelago of 79 islands the "Chabaoti Archipelago".
The ship docked at the port, and Doyle got off the ship nervously. Together with a few people, he carried a box of berries to Island No. 17, ready to exchange the berries for gold.
To ensure Doyle's safety, Zhou Ning handed him a blank Advent Card and said with a smile:
"This card contains a portion of my power. When in danger, simply crush it. Then silently recite the following prayer:
"The absolute supreme ruler of the Starry Sky Church, the immortal legend of Darkland;"
"A seeker of destiny, a disseminator of knowledge, a symbol of desire."
"Then, don't worry about who your opponent is. You will definitely win."
Although he didn't know the specific effect, Doyle had a blind trust in Zhou Ning. He repeated Zhou Ning's name in confusion and hurried into the port carrying boxes of Berry.
Adjusting his top hat, Zhou Ning strolled into the port and onto the street.
The island's surface is entirely formed by tree roots. Its most distinctive feature is the unique natural resin secreted by the roots of the Argiman mangroves as they breathe. This resin expands with the air, forming bubbles that then soar into the sky. However, since the bubbles are only suited to the Argiman mangroves' climate, if they leave the Shambaudet Islands' climate, the resin will not be able to fully exert its power and will explode.
Bubble cars, bubble Ferris wheels, houses built on bubbles...bubble culture permeates every corner of the Sabaody Archipelago.
It was probably summer and the weather was quite hot. What caught Zhou Ning's eyes were bubbles flying in the sky and people in various states.
Zhou Ning slowed down his pace and stared at the lively scene. The situation in the Apocalypse World had been extremely tense recently, and he hadn't felt this relaxed for a long time.
The area where Zhou Ning landed was Island No. 44, which is the entrance for civilians to enter the Bubble Islands.
As the only way to the New World, it is home to many pirates, merchants and bounty hunters.
Unlike the Apocalypse World, the people in this world wore brightly colored clothing. Even nobles could wear colorful clothes. They worked in groups of three or five, using various tools to cut down tall, bright red trees. Some drove bubble cars through the streets...
There are many vendors on both sides of the street, selling some local specialties. Based on the knowledge Zhou Ning has mastered, he can also identify several special ingredients that even have the effect of slightly increasing attributes.
Zhou Ning is not short of money now, so he buys whatever he can along the way without hiding his actions at all.
.
His main purpose for this trip was the human auction house on Island 1. Besides selling slaves, it also sold rare items like Devil Fruits and precious weapons. Besides his collecting habit, it was also because it was the most likely place to encounter Celestial Dragons. They were always there every month.
In the original work, Luffy offended the Celestial Dragons for the first time here. As the saying goes, the Celestial Dragons are indecisive when faced with a problem. In order to attract as much attention as possible from the World Government, Zhou Ningke couldn't believe that as the world's leading power, the other party would react so slowly.
One Celestial Dragon has already died. If another one dies, there will be even more fun. Maybe all three admirals of the Marine Headquarters will come.
Zhou Ning walked slowly through the streets and alleys of the Chagos Archipelago, traveling between the islands via the bubble boats and floating bridges distributed between the islands. This place gave Zhou Ning the feeling that it was a bit like Venice on Earth, except that the scene was more fantastic and magnificent.
Ahead was Island 1 of the Sabaody Archipelago, which was much more prosperous than Island 44. Zhou Ning was about to enter the nearby human auction house when he suddenly raised his eyebrows. He felt someone calling for his divine descent.
"The absolute supreme ruler of the Starry Sky Church, the immortal legend of Darkland;"
"A seeker of destiny, a disseminator of knowledge, a symbol of desire."
So Doyle and the others must be in trouble?
Zhou Ning stopped and touched the prayer light with his spirit. He was curious about who the victim was.
