One Piece: I only realized murder was illegal after leaving the Holy Land.

He carefully observed the two people's appearances. Hmm, he had never seen them before!

After all, when Vikingum descended to Earth, Doflamingo was only a little over two years old, not even three. Apart from when Vikingum, as an uncle, visited him at birth, the two had hardly met.

Doflamingo had no recollection of Vikingum, and then noticed that Vikingum wasn't dressed like a typical Celestial Dragon, so he didn't take Vikingum seriously at all.

"Who do you think you are!? How dare you insult this saint!? Men, tie him up, I'm going to blow his head off!!!" Doflamingo shouted.

However, he soon discovered that none of the navy men he usually bossed around obeyed his orders.

“You little brat, you really don’t know your place. Jabba, go slap him twice and teach him a lesson.” Vikingham grinned, revealing a wicked smile.

Logically speaking, Vikingham is Jabba's junior, so using such a commanding tone is inappropriate.

But who told Jabba to now call Vikingham "Master"?

Moreover, he had never openly slapped a Celestial Dragon before, so as soon as Vikingum said that, Jabba immediately stepped forward, squatted down, and slapped Doflamingo twice across the face, knocking him to the ground and knocking his cigarette away.

As for Doflamingo, he's just a kid?

Just kidding, I, Jabba, never said I wouldn't hit kids!

After Doflamingo was knocked down by two big slaps, he covered his swollen cheeks and was momentarily at a loss.

Who am I? Where am I? I was actually attacked?

I am a Celestial Dragon!

Just then, a servant of the Donquixote Family reacted and quickly ran over to help the bewildered Doflamingo up, whispering, "Saint Doflamingo, this is your uncle, Saint Jeigolsia Vikingum. He is Lord Homingo's cousin and the young master of the Jeigolsia Family..."

No sooner had the servant finished speaking than Vikingum appeared before Doflamingo, looking down at the boy and saying, "Kid, go back and find out what my reputation is on Mary Geoise. In all my life, I've never seen anyone dare to block my ship. Even your father wouldn't dare to be disrespectful in front of me. Consider this a lesson. If you mess with me again, I'll throw you into the sea to feed the fish!"

After saying this, Vikingum looked at the servants of the Don Quixote family.

Upon meeting that gaze, the servants immediately knelt down, not daring to breathe.

“A bunch of useless trash, now take this brat and get back to Mary Geoise,” Vikingham sneered.

Then, Vikingham and Jabba walked right past Doflamingo, who was still in a daze, and headed out of the naval port.

Doflamingo instinctively followed the figures of the two men, a strange feeling creeping into his heart.

“That’s my uncle? Why have I never seen him in Mary Geoise?” Doflamingo asked his servant.

At the same time, he had already decided that once he returned to Mary Geoise, he would kill all those bastards, since they had seen him being slapped in such a humiliating way.

“Saint Viking Gum left Mary Geoise three years ago, and it seems he’s now a pirate… That’s just a rumor on Mary Geoise, and I don’t know the specifics,” the servant quickly replied.

"Pirates?" Doflamingo was even more surprised.

Although he was young, he knew very well what kind of person he was. Even in Mary Geoise, among the Celestial Dragons of his age, he was one of the worst beasts. Calling him a demon was no exaggeration.

But he not only didn't see anything wrong with it, he was even proud of it.

Shouldn't the Celestial Dragons be like this?

But at this moment, he was thoroughly bullied by his cousin. While feeling resentful, he also thought his cousin was quite handsome! So arrogant, perfectly matching his understanding of Celestial Dragons!

Compared to this, my usual behavior of beating servants is really low-class. A real man should beat up Celestial Dragons!

It's decided, I'm going to give that crybaby Rosinante a good beating when I get back!

Chapter 71: The Executive Vice-Captain of the Roger Pirates?

Sabaody Archipelago, a port in a lawless zone.

We were supposed to meet in three days, but it's only the second day and everyone's already together.

Not only was the farewell party for Shaki successfully completed, but the Oro Jackson coating has also been finished.

On the mast, Bulmarin spotted Viking Gum and Jabba approaching from afar and immediately shouted, "They're here! Lord Viking is back with his servant Jabba!"

"Oh!? The master is back?" Roger excitedly sat up on the deck and said, "Quick, quick, what are you all standing there for? Come with me down the ship and let's welcome the Viking master!"

Before long, Vikingham and Jabba approached the port.

Then I saw something outrageous.

The Roger Pirates, dressed in the various designer luxury clothes that Lincoln had personally delivered to the ship the day before, stood properly on both sides of the Oro Jackson's ship ladder, like a welcoming team.

Before Vikingham could even ask what was going on, Roger spoke first: "Welcome back to the great Viking Lord to his loyal Oro Jackson!"

Then Rayleigh, Donchino, Dorringer, and the rest of the members all shouted in unison.

This whole sequence of actions left Viking Gum both amused and exasperated. He waved his hand and said, "No need for formalities."

“Hey, this kid’s really putting on an act,” Spencer laughed.

"Hahaha, isn't this just playing along with your performance? You guys are really something, why are you doing all this?" Vikingham laughed loudly.

Roger, standing to the side, stroked his silk captain's coat and said with a smug look, "Our Roger Pirates have never been so extravagant in our lives! Everyone is happy to receive your gift. I hereby declare that from now on, you are the vice-captain of our Roger Pirates, just like Rayleigh!"

Good grief, you can become the executive vice-captain of Roger's pirate crew just by spending some money, right?

Of course, Vikingham knew that this was meaningless, after all, even Captain Roger was not taken seriously by everyone!

Roger and his crew were genuinely happy. As a group of top-tier pirates, they weren't short of money, given their strength; robbing others made them money quickly.

But the key point is that they really hadn't received any decent gifts. Vikingham's casual gesture, which he considered quite ordinary, was something that everyone remembered fondly.

It's not that we can't afford it, but gifts from friends and partners are more special and make everyone very happy.

After a period of merriment, everyone got down to business.

The original plan was to stay here for three days, but now it's obviously unnecessary. Now that the ship's coating is finished, getting to Fishman Island as soon as possible is the priority.

At the same time, Vikingum also shared the intelligence he had obtained in Mary Geoise with everyone.

On one hand, the Navy will no longer turn a blind eye to the Roger Pirates. On the other hand, their pursuit of the Wald Pirates to Lindland Island may lead them into a collision with the Whitebeard Pirates and the Flying Pirates, who are about to engage in a major battle there.

"To be honest, we've been living too comfortably for the past two or three years. While comfort is a good thing, allowing us to focus wholeheartedly on finding the Poneglyphs and getting down to business, lately I've been feeling uncomfortably itchy all over, as if my body can't move around properly!" Roger said with some excitement after hearing this information.

"Yeah, you're right. We haven't made any big moves in a long time, and our bounties haven't been touched either. Whitebeard and his crew are now worth hundreds of millions more than us. It feels like we've lost. This won't do. We have to go to the New World and show off our skills!" Dorring said, hugging Shanks.

"Your bounty is only a little over 70 million, right? And you're already comparing yourself to Whitebeard?" Nozton laughed heartily.

"Tch, if it weren't for the fact that I haven't caused any trouble in the past three years, my bounty would definitely be over a hundred million!" Dorring said without hesitation.

Rayleigh leaned against the mast, chuckled, and said, "Looks like everyone's got a lot of energy. So, Captain, what do you say?"

Roger grinned, revealing a bright smile, and said, "What else can I say? All of you, perk up! We're heading to Fishman Island right now. After we finish our business there, we'll wreak havoc in Lindland. Shiki and Newgate, they've had their moment in the spotlight these past few years. It's our turn to be arrogant!!!"

Seeing this, Navigator Jabba laughed and said, "Then what are we waiting for? Raise the sails and weigh anchor, let's set off now!"

Everyone cheered and immediately got to work. Vikingham, as usual, ran to the back of the deck and, together with Norzton, pushed the winch to retrieve the anchor.

Soon after, the Oro Jackson slowly sailed away from the harbor. About a hundred meters later, the bubbles were fully inflated, and the entire ship slowly sank into the sea.

Speaking of which, although Vikingham keeps a mermaid girl at home, he has never actually been to Fishman Island.

Not only him, but apart from the Don Quixote family and other oddballs, the Celestial Dragons of Mary Geoise rarely went to Fish-Man Island, mainly because it was too dangerous.

The deep sea doesn't care whether you're a Celestial Dragon or whether you have the blood of the twenty kings flowing through your veins.

If something happens in the deep sea, there's a very high chance you'll die.

Therefore, the vast majority of Celestial Dragons would not go to Fishman Island on their own initiative. Mary Geoise is so convenient, with ports in any sea area. Why would they want to go to Fishman Island and make trouble for themselves?

As for the Roger Pirates, they had been to Fishman Island many times, and they often passed through there when entering and leaving the New World.

Jabba was a top-notch navigator on the high seas, and he knew every route he hadn't sailed before, let alone routes he had traveled many times.

A boatload of people entered the sea, steadily heading towards Fishman Island.

Although Fishman Island is located in the deep sea, it is actually only 10,000 meters below the surface. It is not far from the Sabaody Archipelago to Fishman Island; you can reach it in half an hour by taking advantage of the ocean currents.

Jabba was observing the deep-sea route, while Roger sat under the mast, holding a Den Den Mushi and communicating with someone.

“That’s right, we’ve entered the sea now. We just caught the ocean current, and we’ll reach the Sea Forest in half an hour at the latest. You can wait for us there,” Roger said in a strong voice.

Over the past three years, the Roger Pirates have sailed around the world, and some new members have joined the crew. Vikingum can no longer be considered the last crew member to join the ship, and some newcomers even call him senior.

Of course, he should be called the executive vice-captain now.

However, overall, no important figures he remembered joined the crew; they were all combatants, and even the members of Roger's pirate crew were different from those in his original memory.

It can only be said that he did have a significant impact on Roger's pirate crew.

But now, a new important crew member is about to join the crew, namely Sambel, the younger brother of Babel, the Catfish Warrior, a high-ranking officer of the Flying Pirates!

Back in the West Blue, Babel had mentioned this matter, and Roger had also obtained Sambel's contact information from him. Although they hadn't managed to get to Fishman Island in recent years, the two of them would occasionally contact each other through Den Den Mushi.

Furthermore, Sambell had interacted with Roger's crew quite a bit during his previous trips to and from Fishman Island, so they weren't exactly strangers. Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken the initiative to ask to join Roger's crew and even asked Babel to pass on his message.

"Then I'll wait for you where these two Poneglyphs are located. This area is also within the Sea Forest's boundaries," Sambell's magnetic voice came through the Den Den Mushi.

As expected, Vikingham was right. At this time, the Sea Forest possessed two Poneglyphs, one of which was the most mysterious Road Poneglyph.

I wonder who took this thing and where it ended up?

Chapter 72 Jabba: Don't get me wrong, I'm going to investigate whether old mermaids can have children!

As Vikingham had imagined, the deep-sea area where Fishman Island was located was not entirely pitch black.

The Sun Tree Eve grows from the seabed all the way to the surface, bringing sunlight and air into the deep sea and creating the unique natural environment of Fishman Island.

The Oro Jackson steadily moved forward amidst the ocean currents.

On the deck, Vikingham could see the Fishman Island, which was enveloped by huge bubbles, gradually becoming clearer.

Moreover, he could also see an enormous figure in the far distance of the deep sea, occasionally circling around Fishman Island.

Without a doubt, that was a colossal sea king!

Sea creatures are not uncommon on the high seas; anyone who sails frequently is bound to encounter one or two at sea.

They not only live within the Grand Line, but their traces can be found everywhere in the seas and the Calm Belt.

However, super-large sea kings are very rare. Vikingum has been with Roger's pirate crew for the past few years and has never actually seen a super-large sea king.

Generally speaking, these sea monsters only live in the calm zone and the deep sea.

How enormous are they? Simply put, they are the size of an island, and certainly not comparable to the tiny islands like Dressrosa.

According to the classification of Sea Kings in this world, only those with a body length exceeding five thousand meters can be considered super-large Sea Kings, and five thousand meters is merely the entry level for this category.

Just saying 5,000 meters might not give you a clear sense of scale, so let's compare it in terms of size. Godzilla, in the King of the Monsters movie, is only 108 meters tall and has a tail that is 167 meters long, which is about the same.

It was already quite imposing, and this enormous Gotham, putting aside all its abilities, just in terms of physique, would be roughly the size of a super-large Sea King's shoe sole in the world of One Piece.

This shows just how terrifying the sense of oppression can be when a colossal sea monster is actually sighted!

Without a powerful expert in charge, a single colossal sea king would be enough to destroy a country or an island in a very short time!

These colossal sea kings are certainly numerous in the deep sea, yet the royal family of Fishman Island was able to give birth to a ruler of sea kings, namely Poseidon, demonstrating the sheer magnitude of Poseidon's power.

Even if you scattered the top-tier powerhouses capable of fighting colossal sea kings across the ocean to various islands, how many islands could you possibly protect? Would fifty be considered a lot? The rest, Poseidon could destroy if he so desired—he truly possesses the power to destroy the world!

"What are you looking at? So engrossed? Are you looking at those phantoms? To be honest, when we first dived into the deep sea and saw those guys, we were all quite startled. The ocean is truly terrifying, capable of nurturing such enormous life forms. We call them super-large sea kings." Roger walked up to Vikingum and, following his gaze, casually remarked.

"Did you hear anything? Like they were talking or something?" Vikingum asked after glancing at Roger.

Roger scratched his head in confusion, then even closed his eyes to listen, but unfortunately, after a moment he shook his head and said, "No, you mean they can talk?"

“Maybe,” Vikingham chuckled. “After all, they are Poseidon’s warriors.”

Clearly, this is completely different from the original story. In the original story, Roger heard the voices of many sea kings here, and at that time, Princess Shirahoshi, though not yet born, already showed signs, such as the prophecy being visible.

Now things are different. With Vikingum joining them, Roger's crew's exploration of the final island and the Void Century has been accelerated considerably.

Neptune hadn't even ascended to the throne as the King of Fish-Man Island yet. At that time, the King of Fish-Man Island was still an old fish-man in his eighties, let alone Princess Shirahoshi.

"The warrior of Poseidon...you're right. Just thinking about how the Sea King can wield such immense power is terrifying," Roger said with a sigh.

"If such a colossal sea king were to become your opponent, how confident would you be?" Vikingham asked.

"You're underestimating us," Roger said, curling his lip. "They may be strong and terrifying, but against powerhouses like us, they're no threat at all. Do you believe I can take them all down with a single strike?"

Let alone Roger, even Vikingum is confident that he can instantly kill a Sea King of this level using his abilities.

However, he still felt that even a skilled admiral would be unable to deal with this kind of sea king.

It's still terrifying!

Just as the two of them were chatting about this kind of thing, Jabba suddenly spoke up: "Get ready, we're going to break into the Sea Forest!"
