One Piece: Starting from Obtaining the Float-Float Fruit

"Looks like we're here. How do we get down?" Mihawk used his Observation Haki to sense that they seemed to have arrived above the Sabaody Archipelago.

"Take that fat pig and fly down!"

They first dressed the starving Celestial Dragon in black clothes, and then the two of them put them on as well. To keep their identities from being exposed for the time being, this was the only way to proceed.

Anya imbued the Celestial Dragon's clothes with the power of the Float-Float Fruit, and then the three of them descended directly from the sky.

After losing Anya's abilities, the luxurious ship plummeted to the ground!

Off the coast of the Sabaody Archipelago.

A large ship crashed down from the sky, attracting the attention of many naval troops stationed there!

A major general stepped out from the group of naval officers.

"Rear Admiral Doberman!" The surrounding navy saluted him.

"This ship... Quick, contact Admiral Kizaru! Tell him the criminal who kidnapped the Celestial Dragons has appeared, and he's in the Sabaody Archipelago!"

"Wh...what? Criminals who kidnapped Celestial Dragons?" The surrounding Marines asked incredulously.

"Stop talking nonsense, go and inform Admiral Kizaru! Then immediately send men to search for Stuart Anya on Sabaody Archipelago!" Doberman roared.

"Yes, Major General Doberman!"

Offshore of the Sabaody Archipelago.

Kizaru received a phone call from the military garrison on the Sabaody Archipelago.

After a brief explanation, Kizaru learned that Anya was in the Sabaody Archipelago.

"I see."

Kizaru finally felt a little better.

Unexpectedly, he actually guessed the kid's course correctly, and now he can keep his salary.

Meanwhile, Anya, with Mihawk, arrived at a bar.

On the way here, Anya hid the unconscious Celestial Dragon in the leaves of the Yarchiman mangrove tree in the sky.

"Won't that ship expose us? Why are you still doing this...?" Mihawk couldn't understand why Anya would do something that would expose them when they were all dressed in black to hide their identities.

"Mihawk, this matter is no small thing. As the main culprit, even if I use the Celestial Dragons as hostages, the World Government will not let me go. So, I'm going to turn the World Government upside down!"

I'm going to make them afraid to mess with me. I have a plan, and if all goes well... I might even get Conqueror's Haki!

As for this outfit, it was simply so that I wouldn't be recognized too quickly before meeting a man.

As he spoke, he pulled a pair of handcuffs from his pocket. He had faked a pair of sea stone handcuffs on the ship!

"Could it be that you want to?!"

"That's right, I want you to pretend to betray me, get me captured and taken to the Holy Land, and then I'll turn that place upside down." Anya was gambling; he was betting that this Celestial Dragon wouldn't let him go!

If it were an ordinary pirate captured by the Navy, he would be imprisoned in Impel Down, but this time it was different. Anya was 99% certain that he would be captured by this Celestial Dragon and taken to the Holy Land as a slave.

"You really are a madman!"

Mihawk was completely convinced; Anya was simply terrifyingly insane.

"It's not over yet. By threatening the Celestial Dragons, I'm sure I can get a lot of money, and you'll have to keep it safe."

You are different from me. You are just an accomplice. As long as you shift all the blame onto me and make the Navy give an explanation to the World Government, you can get away with it unscathed.

Of course, if the admiral who comes is not Kizaru, then this plan does not need to be carried out.

However, if it's Kizaru, you can try fighting him first. If you feel you're no match for him, then follow my plan.

Although Anya mentioned another plan, he himself still preferred to be taken to the Holy Land by force. After all, it would be easier to fight out from the inside than to fight in from the outside and then fight out again!

Moreover, he was certain that the admiral who captured him this time was nine-tenths Kizaru, because other admirals would find his abilities extremely troublesome.

Anya handed over all the Berries he had taken, including the Devil Fruit, to Mihawk.

Then Anya solemnly said, "I believe you! After I'm captured, you don't need to rescue me. You can wait for me in Water Seven. Once you get there, keep an eye on Tom. I have a promise with him. Don't worry, I will definitely come back."

Looking into Anya's eyes, Mihawk felt his throat go dry, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't.

He just had a feeling that this man in front of him might really be able to rule the sea in the future!

"I... I promise you." Mihok overcame his fears. To be honest, it didn't seem like he couldn't accept a man like that as his captain.

"Hehe, don't be so heavy-hearted. Before the main show begins, let's have some appetizers first." Anya led Mihawk to the entrance of the Knock on Bamboo Bar.

"Thump, thump, thump!"

"Please come in."

Shaki was smoking a cigarette and talking to Rayleigh about today's newspaper when someone suddenly knocked on the door.

As two men dressed in black hooded clothes walked in, Rayleigh suddenly sensed that one of them had a very strong aura, and his Observation Haki was frantically warning him!

"Who are you?" Rayleigh's glasses reflected the light as he held a wine glass in one hand and rested the other on the hilt of his sword.

"Haha, don't be nervous. We just wanted to see the legendary right hand of the Pirate King, but we didn't expect to turn into a somewhat slovenly old man." Anya took off the hood that was covering his face.

"Hey, you're kidding, right?" Rayleigh and Shakky broke out in a cold sweat as they stared at the man in front of them.

The two of them never expected that the person they were just discussing in the newspaper would actually appear here now; this was a huge problem.

"Kid, if you're looking for help, you've come to the wrong person. You have ten seconds to get out of here."

Rayleigh gradually revealed an aura of dominance around him, looking at the two with an unfriendly expression.

Under normal circumstances, Rayleigh would certainly talk to these young people of the new era about their life ideals, but times have changed.

Anya is a criminal who kidnapped a Celestial Dragon! His arrival here could affect Shakky's bar, and he might even be discovered by the Navy!

For the sake of their peaceful future life and Shakky's safety, Rayleigh naturally couldn't have any excessive contact with this young man.

"Don't be in such a hurry, Rayleigh. I'm not here to ask for your help, but rather as my friend who wants to spar with you." Anya waved her hand, signaling Rayleigh not to get excited.

Mihawk then removed the hood of his black coat, revealing his face to the two men.

"Doraemon Mihawk? I've heard of you. There are rumors that you're the world's greatest swordsman. What, you want to give this old man a go?" Rayleigh was getting angry. Were all these people from the new era so arrogant?

"Please advise me." Mihawk put his hat back on his head and said in a deep voice.

"Uncle Rayleigh, if you can beat him, we'll leave. If you can't, I need you to do something for me!" Anya seized the opportunity to make her request.

"Hey little brother, you're even better at bluffing than I am," Xia Qi commented to Anya, taking a drag of her cigarette.

Rayleigh was both angry and amused; it was truly a case of being at home when trouble comes knocking from the sky.

"I give up! Young man, since you've chosen to challenge me, I can accept your terms. But bet your lives on them!" Rayleigh drew his sword and accepted their declaration of war.

Mihawk frowned. To be honest, if it were a matter of risking his life, he would agree immediately, but with Anya involved…

"No problem!" Anya accepted the duel challenge on Mihawk's behalf!

"Anya, you..." Mihawk wasn't actually sure if he could defeat Rayleigh.

"I believe in you! Take that final step toward the world's number one spot!" Anya patted Mihawk on the shoulder.

"I understand, this is—a long-lost excitement." Mihawk smiled.
