Chapter 1332: Sabaody

Su Xiao took out a large bucket of fresh water. After drinking at least half a bucket in *glug, glug* gulps, he poured the remaining fresh water over his head. The cool fresh water washed away the salty and bitter seawater.

Su Xiao could clearly feel that after consuming a large amount of fresh water, the cells all over his body, which had become somewhat shriveled, regained their vitality. He even had the illusion that he had come back to life.

He let out a long breath. The series of experiences earlier could no longer be described as just thrilling. First, he was besieged by Kizaru, Garp, and Vice Admiral Tsuru, then escorted to the Red Line Continent, arrived at the first half of the Grand Line, and had a brief underwater exchange with Navy Hero Garp.

When Su Xiao exchanged blows with Garp, his body was already struggling to hold on; otherwise, he would definitely have had Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang lure Garp away and "warmly greet" Vice Admiral Tsuru and those female marines.

"Xiang Bubu, stop swimming, be careful of Sea Kings swallowing you."

After Su Xiao's shout, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang rose to the sea surface like a "lotus emerging from the water." That's right, this idiot just rose up bit by bit. Su Xiao could fully imagine Xiang Bubu's two hind legs kicking wildly in the water.

"How is that Den Den Mushi?"

Hearing Su Xiao's words, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's dog body stiffened, and its dog head slowly sank into the sea.

Su Xiao directly hauled Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang onto the life raft and untied the package behind it. As soon as the package was untied, a puddle of seawater flowed out, and Su Xiao's heart had already turned half cold.

When he was surrounded by marines in the villa, he had thrown Doflamingo's Den Den Mushi to Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang. This thing couldn't be put into the storage space, so it was safer for Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang to carry it.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang had been having too much fun swimming in the sea and had forgotten about the Den Den Mushi in the package.

Su Xiao held the large snail-shaped Den Den Mushi in his hand. The Den Den Mushi in his hand was already a soft puddle, and the two little eyes on its antennae opened slightly.

Seeing that the Den Den Mushi wasn't dead, Su Xiao was quite surprised. After hesitating for a moment, he took out a lighter and scorched the soft flesh under the Den Den Mushi.

The poor little Den Den Mushi twisted its body, trying hard to open its eyes. This little thing seemed to have some intelligence. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang immediately knew what it wanted to express, which was: "Don't roast me, I can still be saved, and I don't taste good."

Su Xiao shook the Den Den Mushi in his hand. This Den Den Mushi also seemed to know that if it couldn't work, the distance to becoming a baked snail wouldn't be far.

Su Xiao picked up the receiver on the back of the Den Den Mushi, and seawater dripped from the receiver.

*Zzz~*

As if suffering from signal interference, apart from the *zzz* sound, Su Xiao didn't hear any other sounds.

"Hello, White, what, sou..."

Doflamingo's voice came intermittently from the Den Den Mushi's mouth.

"Can you hear me?"

Su Xiao said, waiting quietly for Doflamingo's response.

"Yes, a little."

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang heard this fuzzy voice and signaled Su Xiao to hand the lighter to it.

Seeing the orange flame, the Den Den Mushi clearly became a bit more spirited.

"Hello, hello? Can you hear... me... speaking?"

The voice was clearly much clearer.

"I can hear you."

"No problem, White Night. Did you escape from the Navy's hands?"

Doflamingo's tone was somewhat incredulous.

"I have a favor to ask. After it's done, I'll help you manufacture ten Apollos for free."

"What is it?"

"Amu is still in Dressrosa. Send it to the first half of the Grand Line."

"This..."

"If you send it within five days, I'll manufacture twelve Apollos for free."

"Deal. Where exactly should I send it?"

"There's no specific location. Just send it to Sabaody Archipelago for now, and it will come find me."

"Fine."

Su Xiao didn't chat with Doflamingo. After agreeing on Amu's matter, he hung up the Den Den Mushi directly. This little Den Den Mushi was completely spirited now.

"The current location seems to be near Sabaody Archipelago."

Su Xiao took out a nautical chart and three compasses. These were obtained the last time he entered the Pirate World.

Sabaody Archipelago was right below the Red Line Continent. Su Xiao had successfully escaped after the warship had been sailing for over ten minutes, which meant he wasn't far from the Red Line Continent. There was also a key piece of information: there was a Navy branch nearby.

After identifying the orientation through the compass, Su Xiao drew a circle on the nautical chart. His location was between "Sabaody Archipelago" and "Erjima Island," closer to "Erjima Island."

The first thing Su Xiao had to do was arrive near the Red Line Continent and use the Red Line Continent as a reference to find the specific location of Sabaody Archipelago.

"Xiang Bubu, I have a good idea."

Su Xiao looked at Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang with a smile. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang subconsciously rubbed backward.

Two minutes later, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was paddling hard on the sea surface, pulling a rubber boat behind it. Su Xiao sat on the life raft, holding a compass in one hand and the nautical chart in the other.

As the saying goes, raise a dog for a thousand days, use a dog for a moment. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang unlocked a new skill: Dog Pulling Dinghy Lv. Max.

In about half an hour, the Red Line Continent, towering into the sky, appeared in front.

"Turn right, Sabaody is almost here."

"..."

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang gritted its teeth, kicked its claws, and continued to swim forward. Su Xiao promised that as long as they reached Sabaody, he would take it to the Food Street for a big meal.

After Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang pulled the dinghy for two hours and Su Xiao rowed for one hour, a lush green island came into view. This was Sabaody Archipelago.

Sabaody Archipelago was different from other islands; it was composed of a large area of intertwined Yarukiman Mangrove roots. A total of 79 Yarukiman Mangroves formed the complete Sabaody Archipelago.

The mangrove roots were intertwined, gathering the soil on the roots, so from a distance, Sabaody Archipelago looked lush and green.

"Woof."

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang barked at the distant Sabaody Archipelago. It finally didn't have to pull the dinghy. The original plan was for it to pull for two hours and Su Xiao to row for two hours, alternating like this. Who knew that Su Xiao had rowed for less than an hour before Sabaody Archipelago arrived.

Sabaody Archipelago wasn't far from the Red Line Continent. Precisely because of this, Celestial Dragons living on the Red Line Continent often came to Sabaody Archipelago to play.

The significance of this island was too special. It was known as the "Island of Failure and Starting Over." Pirates wanting to enter the New World had to pass through here.

The World Government certainly knew this. They had tried to set up checkpoints on Sabaody, but pirates were like crucian carp crossing a river; several groups of pirates arrived here every day.

After the World Government ordered the Navy to set up checkpoints here, in the following six months, as many as 50,000 marines sacrificed their lives on the island, and the number of pirates who died here was countless.

In the later stages, pirates actually united, with a dozen or even dozens of pirate crews rushing the Sabaody defense line together.

After guarding for 267 days, the Navy abandoned Sabaody Archipelago. It wasn't realistic to have a Navy Admiral stationed here permanently. Sengoku, in his younger years, had been stationed here, which nearly exhausted him. The Navy's casualties did decrease, but Sengoku's sleep time was less than three hours a day; the rest of the time, he was either fighting pirates or on the way to capture pirates.

After paying the price of 2 Vice Admirals, 5 Rear Admirals, and 80,000 marines, both the World Government and the Navy abandoned this place. Pirates wanting to reach the New World had to pass through here. It was impossible to make those dream-chasing pirates give up.

Moreover, the pirates who could reach here weren't weaklings; they were elite pirates who had been eliminated through layers of selection.

After years of development, a unique ecological balance appeared on Sabaody Archipelago. Marines, pirates, World Government personnel, Celestial Dragons, CP departments, and the Revolutionary Army would all appear on the island, but they wouldn't easily make a move. ===== CHAPTER 1333 =====
