One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

"All naval personnel assemble. Proceed to the inner bay and set sail for the Sabaody Archipelago!"

Among the assembled naval personnel, Drake's face was extremely grim.

"Something happened to Luo Xia? What happened? I saw him happily going out to sea with Lark and Luo earlier today, saying they were going to Chambord for a vacation. I hope he's alright. Anyway, let's contact Lark first and ask her to inquire about Lark."

Mary Geoise.

The ancient and magnificent Pangu City stands amidst a garden landscape of blooming flowers and shady trees.

A wide and winding avenue leads directly into the depths of Pangu City, connecting solemn and sacred buildings.

At this moment, in this sacred place at the pinnacle of world power, an atmosphere of panic, unseen for many years, is rapidly spreading and permeating.

On the clean and spacious long street, rows and rows of soldiers appeared, dressed in armor and fully armed.

The Celestial Dragons, who were strolling and enjoying themselves with their slaves on the long street, were persuaded by CP members to return home.

Those nobles and residents who had been granted the right to reside in the holy land were brutally driven back to their respective homes.

The person in charge of these tasks was a burly old man with a mohawk-like hairstyle.

"I never expected that after so many years, such a world-shaking event could happen right under our noses in Chambord. This will certainly keep the Five Elders busy."

The Commander-in-Chief of the Three Armies, Steel Bone Kong, crossed his thick arms and looked at the chaotic Pangu City with some emotion.

Just then, a soldier ran up from not far away and saluted him.

"Report to the Commander-in-Chief! All information regarding the attackers has been investigated and is available for your review."

The soldier handed over a piece of paper with both hands. Kong nodded, took it, and looked at it.

His brow furrowed briefly, then relaxed.

"So that's how it is. No wonder you're so bold as to defy the world and openly attack and kill a world noble."

"So they're Avengers from the past..."

"Ah, Baterila Island..."

The Hall of Power.

Five old men, each with a different posture, listened to Spandam's trembling report in the empty hall, their expressions growing increasingly grim.

An immense, terrifying pressure emanated from the hall, overwhelming Spandam and causing him to break out in a sweat.

"Oh!"

Wearing a black suit, with white curly hair, a bushy white beard, a flat cap, and a scar on his left cheek, the scientific defense god, Jaigolusia Satan Saint, swung his cane and smashed the expensive crystal table in front of him to pieces.

The loud noise startled Spandam, causing him to shudder and collapse to the ground.

"What audacity! What cruel methods! For so many years, no one has dared to challenge our authority like this!"

An angry roar echoed in the empty hall, and Saint Satan's face turned red with rage.

"Daflons the Steel Raider, vice-captain of the Avengers Pirates, bounty of 210 million Berries, Zoan-type Bear-Bear Fruit user in Iron-Eating Beast form."

The bald man in a white Taoist robe, wearing round-framed glasses and holding a samurai sword, the financial martial god Izanbaron V. Nassjuro, looked at the documents in his hand, couldn't help but twitch his lips, and threw the documents onto the sofa.

"A trash pirate with a bounty of a mere 200 million Berries has caused such a serious bloodshed."

"And why was the attacker this Dafilons, and not his more ruthless brother, the so-called Bloodthirsty Aristotle?"

"I don't know. The CP needs to go and investigate this as soon as possible."

The blond man in the dark red suit crossed his arms and took out a Den Den Mushi from his pocket. "Let's contact Sengoku first and have him send out warships and an admiral to blockade the Sabaody Archipelago. Regardless of whether the attackers were Daffylons or not, since the Roswald family got into trouble in Sabaody, we need to clean up that place."

The one who spoke these words was Shepard X. Pitt Saint, one of the Five Elders present, who held the highest authority in the world, and was known as the God of Agriculture.

Wearing a dark green suit, sporting a mustache shaped like the number eight, and a bald head with a map-like birthmark on his forehead, the Legal Warrior Topman Vochuli Saint tapped the armrest of his chair and said:

"Before the Navy blocks Sabaody, have CP0 arrest everyone who might be involved. Whether they're Navy personnel, pirates, nobles, slave traders, or civilians, arrest them all and interrogate them one by one! I need to know if there's a conspiracy involved, or if the Will of Light is at work!"

Just as the group's murderous intent was rising and they were discussing the death of the Roswald family with great intensity, a tall, elderly man wearing a black cloak and a Western sword hanging at his waist suddenly walked into the entrance of the Hall of Power.

“Saint Vochuli is right. I also suspect that there may be a trace of the ‘D’ clan here.”

The old man wore sunglasses, and his curved, upturned hair and upturned beard formed a crescent-shaped head, giving him a very distinctive look.

He held the hilt of his rapier with one hand, glanced at Spandam slumped on the ground, and then looked at the Five Elders in front of him.

"Let me make the trip and see how this incident differs from the one back then."

Chapter 142 Panic Erupts, the Great Escape from Sabaody

Mangrove Zone No. 13.

At the top of the hill, Rayleigh, carrying large and small bags on his back, looked at the woman behind him with a wry smile, still picking up some scattered items in that small bar.

"Shakky, stop taking it. We need to get out of this storm's eye quickly. If we stay any longer, those admirals from Marine Headquarters will surround Sabaody. The death of three Celestial Dragons in Sabaody, especially at once, is undoubtedly the most insane event to have occurred on this sea in decades."

Xia Qi, with short hair and a tank top, ignored everyone and continued picking and choosing, as if she wanted to take all the tables, chairs, and rags in the bar with her.

"Let's go, let's go! If we don't leave now, we won't be able to escape. I already sense that a deadly danger is approaching."

Rayleigh squinted and looked in a certain direction of the mangrove forest.

"Hmph! You make it sound so easy. This little place is something I've worked hard to build up. You, a drunkard, can't possibly understand how deep my feelings are for it."

Xia Qi picked up the large bag on the bar counter, then grabbed a broom from behind the bar door, and used her foot to close the wooden door, locking it with the old, rusty lock.

"Don't say that. I did my part too, okay? In Chambord, coating is a very sought-after job."

Lei used his long knife as a club, hoisted the pack on his back, and followed the slope to the inland beach next to the bar.

"Wait here for a moment, I'll go and bring the boat up."

He put down his backpack, took off his shirt, and plunged into the sea.

Xia Qi looked back at the small bar on the hillside, sighed with emotion, and took out a pack of cigarettes from her pocket.

A slender cigarette was held between her two red lips, and Xia Qi gently exhaled a wisp of smoke.

"Are all the pirate supernovas this bold now? They even kill Celestial Dragons without hesitation. Sigh, it's a pity I won't have the chance to meet a 'hero' like him."

As my thoughts drifted, clusters of bubbles rapidly rose to the surface of the inland sea.

A huge shadow rapidly expanded from beneath the sea surface.

The next instant, a huge dome tens of meters in diameter arched up from the sea surface, and a luxurious ship with a coated surface, completely enveloped in shimmering soap bubbles, burst out of the sea, parting the splashing waves.

This is a huge three-masted sailing ship, with its sails furled, revealing a deep red color.

A red wooden ram protrudes from the bow, below which are two lifelike mermaids, their outstretched hands supporting the ram.

Between the waists of the two mermaids was a dark cannon barrel protruding from the hull.

Seeing this rare and luxurious three-masted sailing ship, Xia Qi's eyes widened, and she even forgot to smoke the cigarette that was dangling from her red lips.

How did this ship get here?

"Haha, of course this ship follows me after Roger left. Otherwise, why do you think I came to Chambord to learn coating technology? Don't just stand there, hurry up and get on the ship, we still need to go to Mangrove Area One."

Rayleigh was soaking wet, but a long-lost bright smile appeared on his face.

He touched the mast of the sailboat, his eyes filled with deep reminiscence.

He peeled off the coated bubble with his right hand.

"Boom~"

With a soft pop, the soap bubble that had enveloped the entire ship burst.

Then, Ridley gripped the familiar, rough cable on the mast and pulled hard.

"Whoosh!"

The massive, deep red sails instantly straightened, revealing themselves to the sea breeze of Chapodi.

"GOLD ROGER!"

The most famous and legendary ship on this sea, the Oro Jackson of the Roger Pirates!

It is also known as the Golden Jackson!

It was made entirely of the wood of Adam the Tree, and the shipwright was Tom the Fishman, a boatman from Water Seven.

Seeing the sails of the Oro Jackson billowing again, Rayleigh's eyes welled up with tears, and he suddenly drew his long sword from his waist and raised it.

"Set sail! The Roger Pirates!"

Xia Qi looked at the suddenly spirited old man, smiled and shook her head, picked up the package, and jumped onto the deck.

"You're so old now, don't dwell on the passion of your youth, or you'll develop high blood pressure."

"Haha, you really know how to spoil the mood, Xiaqi."

Rayleigh subtly wiped away the moisture from the corner of his eyes, sheathed his long sword, walked to the helm at the bow of the ship, and began to steer.

"I'll leave the sail handling to you, Xiaqi."

Xia Qi nodded, grabbed the mooring rope hanging from the mast, and looked at the old man's back. "Why are we going to Mangrove District One? Are you trying to take those slaves away?"

Rayleigh nodded.

"Sabaody is about to face a major purge. Those poor slaves who stay here will only meet with misfortune. Since we're already planning to abandon this retirement home, why not take these poor souls with us? It's just a side job, it won't take long. What do you think?"

"Whatever." Xia Qi took a drag of her cigarette and smiled. "After all, you're the captain now."

"Haha, you're surprisingly gentle today, Xia Qi."

Mangrove Zone No. 1, Famous Goods Auction House.

"You idiots, what are you still doing here? Get the ship out here right now! Forget about those damn slaves, this godforsaken place is about to be destroyed!"

Berkeley, the auctioneer whose face was still bruised, was yelling at the auction guards who were still pulling at the slaves.

“But, President Berkeley, these slaves are the private property of the Don Quixote family. If we don’t keep them safe, we will face retaliation from the Don Quixote family.”
