Chapter 456: Incident at Sabaody

Not long after, the Straw Hat crew, who saved the mermaid Camie and the starfish Pappag, successfully arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago.

"This is the Sabaody Archipelago! So many bubbles!"

Hatchan turned his head and said: "Do you know about the Yarukiman Mangroves? There are 79 trees here in total. The trees form islands, and each tree represents an island. Together, they make up the Sabaody Archipelago."

"Since it's your first time here, I have to remind you that there are many lawless zones here, which is where human traffickers and pirates hang out. It's very dangerous there, so don't run around."

"However, for pirates, the lawless zone isn't the most dangerous place."

Luffy asked curiously: "Then what is considered the most dangerous place?"

Hatchan said with a serious face: "The commercial district."

"What's dangerous about the commercial district! I think it's quite peaceful here, isn't it?"

Hatchan waved his hand: "Don't forget, this is the island closest to the Holy Land, Mary Geoise. Therefore, Celestial Dragons from above the Red Line often visit this island. If you are unfortunate enough to encounter a Celestial Dragon, don't try to be a hero."

"Because once something happens to a Celestial Dragon, a Navy Admiral will be dispatched immediately!"

Luffy said impatiently: "Oh, I know, hehehe, can we go play on the island now!!! Sabaody Archipelago, here I come!"

At the same time, the Holy Land, Mary Geoise.

"Saint Charlos, Shalria, the situation is special now. If it's not necessary, it's best not to go out."

Charlos said angrily: "Get lost! This Saint is going to Sabaody Island to find my father. He said he was going to buy me new slaves today! If you delay me, you'll be held responsible! Besides, we are the descendants of the Creator; who dares to touch us?"

There was no help for it. The Celestial Dragons wanted to leave, and their bodyguards really couldn't stop them, so they could only let the two leave.

Come to think of it, it's a coincidence. When Enel attacked Mary Geoise years ago, this family was lucky and only suffered minor injuries. One can only say that some mysterious power protected them.

Navy Headquarters, training ground.

"Six Powers Ultimate Technique: Underworld Arm!"

Boom!

Zephyr's dark fist slammed straight toward Karl's face. Karl responded with his own fist without changing his expression.

Bang~

A powerful shockwave erupted in the center of the training ground.

I don't know how much time passed before Zephyr withdrew his arm, gasping for air while shaking his hand: "Hiss~ Stop, stop! I'm old after all!"

Karl smiled faintly and condensed white Holy Light to heal Zephyr's injuries.

"Instructor Zephyr, you're being too modest. You're very spirited right now! Where are you old?"

Zephyr shook his head with self-awareness: "Whether I'm old or not, don't I know in my heart? If you hadn't cured my asthma, the situation would probably be even worse."

"Whew~ It's time to retire!"

Ain, who was on the side, walked over and said: "Instructor Zephyr, you are the Navy's Chief Instructor! If you retire, who will train the new Navy recruits?"

Karl took over Ain's words: "That's right! Instructor Zephyr, it's too early to talk about retirement."

"It doesn't matter. Ever since you, Karl, became a Navy Hero, my career as an instructor has had no regrets."

"Speaking of which, in your class, Karl and Ain were the ones with promise! One is a Navy Hero, one is a Navy Vice Admiral. In just a few years, you have become the backbone of the Navy. You have far exceeded my expectations."

Karl and Ain looked at each other and helped Zephyr to his seat. Karl said helplessly: "Instructor Zephyr, did you all agree to resign together?"

"What agreement? Oh! You mean Sengoku's matter? That's not it. Sengoku is also getting old; it's time for him to step down."

"I heard from the newspaper recently that the Navy is preparing to make a move against Bai Huzi?"

Karl nodded.

Zephyr couldn't help but feel a bit emotional.

Edward Newgate, a powerhouse who dominated an era. When he was still an Admiral, he had plenty of dealings with Newgate, but it was hard for him to get the better of Newgate, after all, Newgate's ability was too strong.

As long as he was willing, he couldn't even get close.

"Come to think of it, Bai Huzi is also old. If he really dares to come this time, I'm afraid he'll have to meet his end at Navy Headquarters."

Karl chuckled: "That's right. The three legendary pirates, Pirate King Gol D. Luo Jie, Golden Lion Shiki, and Bai Huzi Edward Newgate, they are the symbols of the old era."

"Luo Jie died the earliest, and not long ago, Golden Lion Shiki also died at my hands. Now only Bai Huzi is left."

"Once Bai Huzi dies, all the symbolic figures of the old era will be in the ground, and the Great Pirate Era started by Luo Jie should also calm down."

Hearing this, Zephyr couldn't help but close his eyes, his mind constantly recalling the scenes of him riding a warship and fighting pirates on the sea back then.

After a long while, Zephyr said faintly: "That's right! All the pirates of the old era are in the ground, and the Navy of the old era should also retire. Sengoku should think so too, and I think so too. Garp... should be soon too."

"In the future, executing justice will depend entirely on you young people!"

Seeing Zephyr so lonely, Ain couldn't help but feel uncomfortable, her eyes red. Perhaps this is the sadness of an old soldier in his twilight years.

After resting for a while, Zephyr stood up and patted Karl on the shoulder: "Karl, do you think I will live to see the day when pirates are extinct?"

Karl grinned: "Soon! Instructor Zephyr, I promise."

"Brrr-brrr-brrr!!" The Den Den Mushi at Karl's waist made a sharp sound.

At the same time, the Sabaody Archipelago.

"Run away! This city is going to be in trouble! The Sabaody Archipelago is going to be finished soon!"

"Straw Hat Luffy hit a Celestial Dragon! Right in the No. 1 GR auction house."

"What?"

"Don't just stand there, run! The Navy at Sabaody has already been dispatched, and Navy Headquarters will soon send an Admiral to lead the army here. If you don't leave now, it will be too late!"

Capone Bege led his men toward the harbor: "Is our ship coated?"

"The coating was completed yesterday."

"Mm, let's set off for Fish-Man Island now. It will be troublesome if an Admiral comes."

"Yes!"

Inside the tavern.

"Boss Bonney, let's run! The Admiral is coming soon, we won't be able to run if we don't!" ===== CHAPTER 458 =====
