One Piece: Starting from Obtaining the Float-Float Fruit

Sabaody Archipelago, Mangrove No. 13.

A duel that will shake the world is about to take place here.

Anya looked at the two facing off and knew that this battle would not last long at all, as Rayleigh's stamina would definitely not be able to keep up with Mihawk.

If Mihawk brings out enough strength, he will definitely win this duel.

After all, Rayleigh was just a remnant of the old era! They clearly possessed the power to overturn the world, yet they were content with mediocrity and fate.

As we all know, the power system in One Piece is very subjective; a person's strength will drop significantly when they lack willpower.

Even as people age, their appearance can change due to differences in their temperament.

Anya remembers that Oda once drew a picture of the Straw Hat crew's future.

In a good future, Luffy and Garp look very alike; in a bad future, Luffy loses his dream and becomes a decrepit old man.

Zoro also has a future where he defeats Mihawk and runs away, turning into a bald old man who even complains of back pain.

However, even after Zoro becomes the world's greatest swordsman, he hasn't changed much from when he was young!

So Anya wanted to see just how much strength Rayleigh still had left after losing his fighting spirit!

The two men were locked in a standoff. Mihawk lightly stroked the hilt of his sword with one hand, deciding that he would not hold back in his first move!

After all, he was carrying the lives of both himself and Anya on his shoulders!

When Rayleigh saw his actions, he became slightly more serious. He could sense that this junior's strength might have already subtly surpassed his own.

"Your first move is Iaijutsu? Come on."

Rayleigh also got into position; this move was something he had learned from Roger!

"They're here!"

Mihawk's pupils contracted, and he immediately leaned forward.

"Gods, beware!"

Their swords clashed instantly, but did not make contact!

Instantly, the powerful Conqueror's Haki shook the entire Mangrove Area 13 to its core.

Such commotion attracted the attention of all stationed navies, world government organizations, and even underground groups.

As Kizaru approached the shore, he also sensed these two astonishing auras.

"Wow! Looks like there are two ridiculously powerful monsters on this island!"

After a cannon shot rang out, Kizaru stepped on the cannonball and flew inside.

The moment Kizaru landed on the island, Anya, Mihawk, and Rayleigh all sensed his powerful aura.

However, this did not affect the fight between Rayleigh and Mihawk, but both of them clearly held back some of their strength.

While Anya was watching the duel with his hands in his pockets, a blinding light suddenly appeared beside him.

"Damn it, Rayleigh, Dracule Mihawk, Stuart Anya, you're all monsters!" Kizaru's voice, in his signature tone, rang out beside Anya.

"Yo, nice to meet you, Admiral Kizaru of the Marine Headquarters!" Anya greeted him.

Wearing brown sunglasses, Kizaru looked Anya up and down.

Why would this guy show up in a place like Sabaody Archipelago? Is he looking for Rayleigh's help?

This is troublesome. Kizaru doesn't think he can gain any advantage under the attack of these three.

Moreover, a battle of their caliber could very well destroy the entire Sabaody Archipelago.

The Sabaody Archipelago is an extremely important place, not only because of various underground transactions, but also because it is one of the Celestial Dragons' favorite places to visit, and it is the closest island to Fish-Man Island.

In short, Kizaru believes he might not be able to capture Anya on this island; it would be too restrictive.

And the Celestial Dragons are being held hostage... wait, where did the Celestial Dragons go? Kizaru looked around but couldn't find any trace of the Celestial Dragons.

Could it be that this kid killed him?

"You young man, you do know how to respect your elders. Nice to meet you, Stuart Anya. My name is Borsalino."

After introducing himself, Kizaru immediately spoke up: "Young man Anya, could you please hand over the Celestial Dragons to me? At least let me have an explanation."

"Well, well, if I wanted to talk to someone in the World Government, I would naturally want to extort some money from the Celestial Dragons since I dared to capture them."

"Of course, if you want to attack me immediately, then I will use my Devil Fruit power to kill that Celestial Dragon instantly."

Upon hearing this, Kizaru immediately felt a sense of unease; there really were people in this world who were not afraid of death.

If we set a precedent by capturing a Celestial Dragon and extorting money from him, countless others will follow suit.

"You'd better think this through, Anya. If you hand over the Celestial Dragons to me now, I won't lay a hand on you for Mihawk and Rayleigh's sake."

"If you dare to extort money from the World Government, then I will arrest you at all costs!" Kizaru had said both good and bad things; now it was up to Anya to decide.

Anya naturally understood this principle, so he had already planned ahead. He definitely wanted money. Besides, he had already kidnapped the Sky Man, so why would he leave empty-handed?

Moreover, Kizaru's statement may not be true.

"Sorry, but I don't think I can't escape. So, let's negotiate!"

Upon hearing this, Kizaru's sunglasses seemed to darken even more.

He took a Den Den Mushi out of his pocket and handed it to Anya.

"This Den Den Mushi can contact the Five Elders, the highest authority in the World Government. I advise you not to do this. This is my final advice to you."

However, Anya clearly didn't take his advice to heart and dialed the Den Den Mushi directly.

"Brew, brew, brew."

"Kachcha! Kizaru? Have you completed your mission?" Satan's voice came through the phone.

"Moshi moshi, this is Stuart Anya, please reply."

The Five Elders were all taken aback when they heard the voice coming from the Den Den Mushi. Why was Anya's voice coming from Kizaru's Den Den Mushi?

Could it be that Kizaru was defeated? That's impossible! The Five Elders all know how strong Kizaru is. Let alone Anya, even if Shiki himself came, he might not be able to defeat Kizaru!

"Listen up, the Celestial Dragon is in my hands now. If you want him to be safe and sound, prepare 300 billion Berries and five Devil Fruits for me, and deliver them to the Sabaody Archipelago within three hours."

Otherwise, I will kill this Celestial Dragon live on video via Den Den Mushi, in front of everyone!

Upon hearing Anya's words, the Five Elders were so angry that their heads almost flew off their chests.

"Arrogant! Kid, do you know what you're doing?! Do you want to die?"

"I've already kidnapped a Celestial Dragon, and you're asking me if I want to die? Since I dared to do it, I'm not afraid! I advise you to send the money over right now, or it'll be gone!"

The call was disconnected the instant Anya finished speaking.

Satan, who was originally about to curse, suddenly had nowhere to vent his anger!

"Anya! You deserve to die!" Satan Saint kicked the table over.

The other five elders were also quite angry at this moment.

Now they need to consider a serious question: should they give Anya the money or not?
