The Great Voyage Begins with the Celestial Dragons

Among the pirates who travel from the four seas to the Grand Line, they are considered to be among the more outstanding ones.

Not to mention, this is not even the full display of his strength.

"It's best to be careful; the Grand Line isn't that simple."

Kerla sighed softly, her gaze, turned away from Sabo, carrying a hint of apology and bitterness.

Sabo... forgive me...

You're a good person, but for the sake of my hometown, there are some things I have to do...

What are you thinking about?

Hearing no sound from behind for a long time, Sabo couldn't help but ask curiously.

In his eyes, Kerla was a cheerful and lively person.

"Ah, it's nothing, I just suddenly thought of things from the past." Kera forced a smile.

"About the past... I heard from my teacher that you used to be..."

Sabo thought of Kerla's past and hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.

“There’s nothing wrong with talking about it. I used to be a slave of the Celestial Dragons. I was freed because the fish-man Tiger climbed the Red Line and entered the Holy Land with his bare hands. It was also because of him that I was able to return to my hometown.”

Kerla smiled, seemingly not referring to her past.

However, deep within her eyes, pain still lingered.

Clearly, she has never forgotten those painful years.

Moreover, while the facts seemed to match her account, there were still many details that she dared not mention.

Back when she was in Tiger's Sun Pirates, she witnessed the destruction of the Sun Pirates and the terror of those two women.

Tiger was already powerful enough, but that woman toyed with him like a cat playing with a mouse, easily killing him with a final blow.

This is CP0, directly under the Celestial Dragons, an existence that no one else can ever defeat...

Thinking about this, Kerla then thought about what had happened after she returned to her hometown.

Just when she thought it was all over, a woman named Hancock, who was also a Celestial Dragon slave and took pride in it, approached her.

It was then that she realized she had never truly escaped.

It's just that it has a slightly greater freedom now that it has a different owner.

Apart from that, everything else has never changed.

The Celestial Dragons can't possibly resist, and there's no need for them to...

"Kerr, don't worry, the teacher and I will definitely get justice for you!"

Having a general understanding of Kella's public past, Sabo confidently gave his assurance.

He was well aware of the shadows in Kella's heart and did not want this matter to affect her future.

"Thank you, Sabo. But I've moved on, and I'm fine as I am now."

Kerla wore a bright smile, and to outsiders, there was absolutely no sign of a problem.

This was her disguise, and also a skill she learned during that period.

If she hadn't been observant and learned how to please others, she would have died long ago in that terrifying hell.

"Haha, never mind all that, a new adventure is about to begin."

As Sabo gazed at the approaching sea, his anticipation deepened.

"Yes, a new adventure."

Kerla murmured softly, feeling almost swallowed by fear.

Long before she joined the Revolutionary Army, her Vivre Card had already been made, but it was taken by Hancock and its whereabouts are unknown.

Not long ago, after she joined Sabo's Plum Blossom Pirates, a pattern of a dragon's hoof print was embroidered on her bed in her room on the ship.

It seems that from the moment she was chosen, everything in the future was arranged.

She lacked the courage to resist, and even the thought of resisting.

In situations where victory is impossible, being able to live a little longer is already a blessing.

Since that's the case, I might as well tone down my expression and play this game well with those adults.

I just wonder which esteemed person is visiting this time...

boom!!!

With a loud crash as the ship plunged into the sea, the Plum Blossom Pirate Ship landed steadily on the Grand Line.

"Brothers, a new adventure on the Grand Line, here we come!"

Sabo raised his arms and let out a loud shout.

"Oh!"

Immediately following, the rest of the crew also cheered.

They were part of the revolutionary army, but each of them had an adventurous spirit.

For this reason, he was assigned to follow Sabo.

Now that they have officially left the four seas and arrived in this sea area that the revolutionary army has not yet set foot in, everyone feels extremely excited.

But this excitement came quickly and disappeared just as fast.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Suddenly, the sound of shells hitting the water came from all around.

The Plum Blossom Pirates' ship had barely entered the Grand Line when bounty hunters from all around, like sharks smelling blood, began to swarm towards them.

"Hahaha, brothers, the first battle of the Grand Line!"

As Sabo's battle-ready shout fell, filled with boundless fighting spirit.

"war!"

The Plum Blossom Pirates displayed amazing discipline, instantly taking their positions and performing their duties.

Even Kella seemed to have put aside all his thoughts, standing on the lookout tower, reporting on the enemy situation while giving battle commands.

Chapter 318 A Predestined Coincidence

boom!!!

Countless bounty hunter ships were destroyed, and the bounty hunters on board were killed by Sabo.

“Sabo, 3 kilometers southeast, 2 kilometers southwest, and 4 kilometers south, another bounty hunter ship has appeared.”

From the lookout tower, Kera mechanically reported the enemy's location once again.

We've seen countless reports like this before.

Even the pirate ships, despite being built with considerable effort and resources by the Revolutionary Army, have become somewhat damaged due to the continuous warfare.

"Hoo hoo, this is never going to end."

Sabo wiped the sweat from his face, looking visibly tired.

He wasn't made of iron, nor was he one of those monsters. After being surrounded by dozens of bounty hunters, he inevitably became exhausted.

He was always the one who charged the fastest each time, so his energy expenditure was naturally much greater.

"Sabo, I suggest we avoid direct confrontation for now."

Kella's emotionless voice came from above: "This is the best solution at the moment."

Sabo found it hard to accept that his first battle on the Grand Line would end in such a humiliating defeat.

But when he saw the tired expressions on the faces of the others, he couldn't help but sigh softly.

If we don't run now, we'll probably be dragged to our deaths here.

"I understand. Lay down the sails and retreat! Head towards the nearest Twin Capes!"

After Sabo issued the order, the rest of the crew visibly relaxed.

If it were just ten or so battles of this intensity, they believed they would have no problem.

But now, every 10 minutes, 3-4 bounty hunter teams arrive, leaving no gap whatsoever.

In this situation, running away is the only option.

It's no wonder this place is called the graveyard of pirates.

The Plum Blossom Pirates turned their ship around and began to quickly leave the area.

The sea is vast and boundless. Even though thousands of bounty hunter groups gather in this sea, finding someone in the vast ocean is not an easy task.

In particular, Sabo's ship is extremely fast, allowing him to shake off the other bounty hunters in a short time, thus avoiding the trouble of being constantly tracked.

Once they reach a secluded spot, all they need to do is take down the pirate flag, and no one will know they are pirates.

This is also the method that most clever pirates who come to the Grand Line choose to avoid unnecessary conflicts.

But most pirates are single-minded and few would do that.

As long as you dare to fly the pirate flag and don't have enough strength to instill fear in the bounty hunters, you will inevitably be unable to leave this sea area.

After coming down from Upside Down Mountain, the journey to Twin Capes is not far.

At the speed of the Plum Blossom Pirates, they quickly arrived at the place known as the first island of the Grand Line.

This place was once the starting point for pirates to enter the Grand Line.

The pirates will choose a route to the Sabaody Archipelago here and begin their adventure.

However, in recent years, this place has become a supply station for bounty hunters. They exchange information and replenish supplies here, which has led to the gradual development of this small and barren land.

"It's hard to imagine that an island is full of bounty hunters."

Sabo and Kella, their bodies concealed by hoods, strolled through the market at Twin Capes.

Seeing the bounty hunters hawking their wares around them, especially the people selling pirates, made them feel a little uncomfortable.
