Sailing: I was falsely accused of watching Nami bathe, but I'm blind.

everything's ready.

Kai boarded the smuggling ship, which reeked of contraband and the air of criminals, and quietly sailed toward the soap bubble islands, which were both the end of paradise and the entrance to hell.

After several days at sea, the smuggling ship finally arrived at the island, revealing its peculiar sight.

This is not a single island at all! Rather, it is a vast archipelago formed on the sea surface by the root systems of dozens of enormous, unimaginably massive, towering mangrove trees! The roots of these mangroves are extremely thick, forming a stable foundation like land, while the trunks soar into the clouds, blocking out the sun!

Even more remarkably, these enormous mangroves constantly secrete a special resin from their roots. This resin forms huge, soap-bubbles in the air! These colorful bubbles float lightly in the air, some even large enough to support houses and vehicles! The entire archipelago is like a dream world built on top of giant bubbles!

The air was filled with a rich, forest-like fragrance of trees and the fresh, salty scent of the sea.

Sunlight filters through the massive tree canopy and floating bubbles, casting dappled shadows.

Various unique vehicles powered by bubbles travel through the canal (which is actually a natural waterway between mangrove roots).

All of this filled Kai with an unprecedented sense of wonder and awe!

However, beneath this seemingly dreamlike and beautiful scene, Kai's Observation Haki received an unprecedented, extremely complex and chaotic flow of information!

Countless different atmospheres intertwine and collide here!

There was an atmosphere of curiosity and excitement among tourists and businesspeople from all over the world;

There was an air of familiarity, numbness, and helplessness in the local residents;

It possessed the aura of a bounty hunter, filled with vigilance and a thirst for killing;

There was a nauseating aura of greed and despair emanating from the slave traders and human auction houses;

There was the disciplined yet highly tense atmosphere of a naval patrol;

There was an aura of surveillance belonging to higher-level government agents (the CP department?) lurking in the shadows;

Even more... dozens of exceptionally powerful, unruly, ambitious, and destructive young pirates! Like unexploded volcanoes, they are scattered throughout the archipelago, wary of one another, yet seemingly waiting for something! (The Supernovas!)

Furthermore, in certain specific areas of the archipelago, Kai could even faintly sense... an extremely arrogant, dismissive, and unsettling aura of privilege that seemed to place all beings above everyone else! (A Celestial Dragon!)

Light and darkness, beauty and evil, hope and despair, order and chaos... all of these things intertwine, collide, and coexist on this small archipelago in an extremely bizarre and extreme way!

Kai took a deep breath, feeling the overwhelming, chaotic torrent of information rushing towards him.

He knew that he had stepped into a true "lawless zone," a battlefield full of opportunities but also rife with deadly traps!

He calmed his mind and adjusted his aura to the most inconspicuous state, quietly blending into the bustling, turbulent crowd of the Sabaody Archipelago like a drop of water merging into the ocean.

His journey to Sabaody, and... the storm that could change his life, is about to begin!

The moment Kai set foot on the Sabaody Archipelago, he felt as if he were in a huge and noisy vortex of energy.

Countless different auras, emotions, and thoughts intertwine and collide here, forming an unprecedented, complex, and chaotic torrent of information that constantly impacts his "mental network."

But he was not overwhelmed by this torrent.

After years of secluded training on a deserted island and countless life-or-death battles, his Observation Haki has become more refined and resilient, like a rock in a raging torrent, enabling him to maintain clear perception and accurate judgment even in complex and chaotic environments.

He moved like a ghost through the streets formed by the roots of giant mangrove trees, with soap bubbles floating around him slowly rising and bursting.

As he familiarized himself with the geography of this peculiar archipelago, he carefully spread his senses like a spider web, exploring the true nature hidden beneath this seemingly dreamlike land.

Soon, his attention was drawn to several exceptionally powerful auras, filled with unruliness and boundless ambition!

These auras, like lighthouses in the night, stood out prominently in the complex and chaotic energy field.

They are scattered across different areas of the archipelago, and seem to maintain a subtle wariness and distance from one another.

Kai could clearly discern the characteristics of this unique world, composed of giant mangroves and dreamlike bubbles, upon first stepping onto the Sabaody Archipelago:

One of them was filled with a violent, destructive force, like an out-of-control magnetic field, and a kind of... cruel tyranny! The owner of that aura seemed to make no attempt to hide his power and ambition, which attracted people, but at the same time, he was also impacted by the ubiquitous, complex and chaotic flow of information here.

He seemed to carry with him a destructive desire to tear everything in his path to shreds.

This must be the story of a country bumpkin who has just entered a bustling city (although he has been to many places, none of which have made him as familiar as Sabaody with the supernova with the highest bounty and the most brutal behavior, "Captain" Eustace Extreme), cautiously exploring and adapting to the rhythm and rules of this place.

Soon, his radar-like Observation Haki detected several exceptionally powerful auras, as conspicuous as lighthouses in the night—Kid!

The other one appeared unusually calm and eerie, as precise and cold as a scalpel.

These auras were filled with youthful vigor, untamed ambition, and a powerful force that could stir up the wind and clouds. The owner of that aura seemed to be able to control some kind of special energy field (Kayi could feel the space around him slightly distorted), and an undeniable power!

He could clearly distinguish the different characteristics of these auras:

It exudes a dangerous feeling of... playing with life and death, and disregarding the rules.

This is probably Trafalgar Law, the so-called "Surgeon of Death, deep in some lawless zone of the archipelago, filled with rage, destruction, and a kind of... twisted metal."

There was also an aura, full of mockery, cynicism, and a kind of destructive desire with a strong magnetic pull! The owner of that aura was like a raging beast, ready at any moment to unleash... an elusive, "magical" sense of change... (Basil Hawkins?)

Everything before him was torn to shreds! Kai guessed that this was likely the one known for his ferocity and destructive power, as swift as a whirlwind and as violent as lightning… (X Drake?)

A supernova like music – “Captain” Eustace Kidd!

The other, however, is hidden in a noisy, disruptive soundscape... (Skulachman Ap?)

……

The area was relatively secluded, with a calm yet eerie atmosphere, as precise and cold as a scalpel.

The energy fluctuations silently discerned and memorized these powerful auras.

He knew that these people were the ones who had recently risen to fame on the Grand Line in a very peculiar way, seemingly able to cut, combine, and even... exchange space at will within a certain range? (Kay's understanding of these Supernovas, whom the Navy called the "Worst Generation," and who each possessed a power exceeding 100 million bounties, was still very vague).

The owner of this aura gave him a feeling of being elusive and extremely dangerous.

Each of these bounties possesses the formidable strength and ambition to establish themselves in the New World!

And among these powerful auras, the one that should be Trafalgar Law, known as the "Surgeon of Death," is none other than Trafalgar Law.

There were a few other auras, and one of them made Kai's heart skip a beat again!

That aura... was not as extreme as the previous two, but it was equally powerful and unique.

Some are as unpredictable as phantoms (Capone is familiar with them, yet they seem somewhat unfamiliar).

What is familiar is the pure, sun-like free will contained within it (Becki?), and some are like music, full of destructive rhythm (Sculachman Ap? and that... almost naive optimism and unstoppable drive).

What was unfamiliar was that this aura was more powerful and refined than he remembered, even... faintly carrying a chilling quality. Some possessed a monk-like tranquility yet concealed a murderous intent (Urki?)...

These are undoubtedly the ones who stirred up huge waves in the first half of the Grand Line, and now they have gathered here, ready to conquer like a king!

Monkey D. Luffy!

He was indeed here! Moreover, his strength surpassed that of the "Supernovas" of the new world! They were like dormant tigers, temporarily concealing their fangs but seemingly showing astonishing growth! They had actually reached a level where they could rival these established supernovas, but the ambition and power about to erupt, challenging the old era and creating a new one, even seemed to be surpassing them!

Kai's brow furrowed deeply.

He could feel it, and it was clearly audible!

In an area relatively close to the port, Kai once again sensed that... a feeling that made him uneasy. These powerful, diverse, and unruly supernovas had gathered in Sabaody, an island already rife with undercurrents. The atmosphere of tension and impending conflict in the air had become even more unsettling!

It was still so familiar, filled with sunshine, freedom, and a kind of... innocence that was even more intense!

It's like a giant powder keg, already overflowing with explosives, needing only a tiny spark to ignite it.

But compared to when it was in Water Seven, this aura seems to have become more concentrated and powerful, which could trigger a massive, earth-shattering explosion!

Kai realized that an unprecedented storm, and even one that subtly contained a kind of... domineering aura, like that of a king, capable of influencing the will of others, might be quietly brewing above this seemingly beautiful bubble island.

And he himself, and the purpose of his trip, were all... (Although still very faint, Kai's perception was already able to detect a trace).

Monkey D. will inevitably be drawn into it.

He must be more careful and cautious.

After gaining a preliminary understanding of the overall atmosphere and potential threats of the Sabaody Archipelago, Kai began to tackle the most basic problem—finding Luffy! The Straw Hat crew was also among them! They seemed to be resupplying and finding a relatively safe foothold in some area, and learning more about the "survival rules" here.

He soon discovered that the Sabaody Archipelago was a place to rest and prepare for his upcoming journey to the New World.

Sensing the convergence of so many powerful auras in this area, which, though called the "lawless zone," was not entirely without order.

The entire archipelago is composed of seventy-nine enormous mangrove trees, each of which and its surrounding area are numbered. A strong premonition arose in Kai's heart—a huge storm was likely to break out.

These regions, based on their functions and control, are about to brew and erupt on this seemingly dreamlike bubble island! These unruly supernovas, unlike the well-prepared Navy and the potentially powerful Celestial Dragons, present a completely different picture and "rules".

Approaching the Navy's G-1 branch (responsible for monitoring... their clash will inevitably have earth-shattering consequences!)

The Sabaody Archipelago, indeed, is a naval base renowned for its beauty. Some areas (with smaller numbering) are relatively "safe" for (Wang Hao Zhao), and the naval patrols are more like a "powder keg"! He himself is already at the center of this powder keg, with frequent but relatively few open violent conflicts.

But prices are also highest here, and the area is under close naval surveillance.

After gaining a general understanding of the overall atmosphere and distribution of powerful individuals in the Sabaody Archipelago, it became clear that Ka was not an ideal hiding place for someone as sensitive about his identity as Kai.

The areas with higher numbers, especially those closer to the so-called "lawless zones" where people begin to understand the "rules" more deeply—those unwritten, survival rules determined by power and reality—present a completely different picture.

There are almost no naval personnel to be seen here, on the streets.

He discovered that although the Sabaody Archipelago appeared chaotic, it was not entirely without order.

The entire archipelago is naturally divided into dozens of areas by the massive root system of the Yarchiman mangroves, numbered from one to seventy-nine, which are even more chaotic, with various black market transactions, underground casinos, and even human auctions openly taking place.

The number that controls these areas.

Among them, the areas with the earlier numbers (numbers 1 to 29) are the so-called "lawless zones".

It is often the strongholds of powerful gangs, human trafficking groups, and pirate crews that use this place as their base.

This is a gathering place for all sorts of criminals, including pirates, bounty hunters, human traffickers, and information brokers. Violence is the most common means of solving problems, and the law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak, is on full display.

Bars, casinos, brothels, and black market trading points abound, and violent conflicts and bloody battles are almost inevitable.
