Chapter 152: Are You Here to Kidnap Me?

Above the Red Line.

The Donghai Dihuang soars at an altitude of ten thousand meters.

On the open-air banquet deck, Saint Saint Saiwen is making action arrangements for the Morning Star Pirates' officers.

"You've knocked out the two little moles, right?"

Yuzhi Xiliu wears a wicked smile at the corner of his mouth.

"Captain, I specifically used the special drug from Impel Down; before we reach Marineford, the two little moles will sleep very soundly."

"Well done." Saint Saint Saiwen gives a thumbs-up.

"Jin Ni, from this current distance, is there any problem opening the door to Mary Geoise?"

"Don't worry, Captain."

Jin Ni pats her chest to guarantee it,

"I underwent military training in Elbaf for half a year; I just can't open a door directly from Elbaf to Skypiea, but this place to Mary Geoise is merely ten thousand meters; I guarantee the door will open with precision within a millimeter."

Saint Saint Saiwen nods in satisfaction.

"I'm going down to catch a hundred pigs; Jin Ni, be ready to open the door for support at any moment."

"Yes, Captain."

Saint Saint Saiwen leaps down from ten thousand meters in the sky; when he appears again, his height has changed from three meters to 1.8 meters, and his signature white hair has turned black.

Even his appearance has changed completely.

This is precisely the ability of the Age-Age Fruit awakened, transforming into his form before crossing into the One Piece world.

Now, the self becomes the former self; with such conviction, one must surely believe it without doubt.

As for whether infiltrating Mary Geoise is difficult?

That is a question for Sabo, the second-in-command of the Revolutionary Army; Sabo is merely hiding behind a wall eavesdropping, and not even six people, including Imu and the Five Elders, managed to discover him.

It is not that their Observation Haki is lousy, but rather they do not believe anyone would dare to trespass the holy land of Mary Geoise.

Mary Geoise is under martial law now.

But the martial law guards against the white-haired Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen, and has nothing to do with the black-haired Saint Saint Saiwen.

Saint Saint Saiwen infiltrates Mary Geoise; just as he sneaks into a mansion, he runs face-to-face into a Celestial Dragon wearing a glass dome; they look at each other.

Confirming the look in the eyes, they have met the right person.

While his face is covered in shock, Saint Saint Saiwen's heart is filled with countless emotions: the number of pigs belonging to the nineteen Celestial Dragon families in Mary Geoise is endless.

But meeting Saint Elaine right after entering, one must admit that fate is truly mysterious beyond measure.

It should be the third time.

Saint Elaine completely gives up struggling; at such a close distance, with all his guards nowhere nearby, even if the guards were here, it would be too late.

"Are you here to kidnap me?"

"Hurry up and do it."

"Is kidnapping just me enough?"

"If kidnapping just me isn't enough, inside the mansion next door, the brats of the Rosward family have called many people for a silver party."

"There are at least several dozen descendants of the Gods inside; as long as you don't kill me, I will take you there right now."

Having the experience of being kidnapped twice, Saint Elaine has long understood one truth: cooperating fully with the kidnapper means no beating, nothing more than paying a bit more ransom afterwards.

Anyway, it is the World Government's money being spent; he, Saint Elaine, does not feel the slightest pain.

"Lead the way." Saint Saint Saiwen looks slightly surprised.

"How do you know I want to kidnap you?"

Saint Saint Saiwen does not believe Saint Elaine possesses telepathy or extremely terrifying Observation Haki to discern his intentions with just one glance.

There must be some other reason.

"The look in your eyes, your look is different."

Saint Elaine chats as if with a friend, showing none of the hysteria from the previous two kidnappings.

"You know, I come from a... better background; the look in their eyes towards me is only fear and envy, while your look at me is as excited as seeing treasure."

"To be honest with you, I have encountered this kind of look in you twice before, and was kidnapped by that person twice."

"As long as you don't kill me."

"Don't say taking you to kidnap the other descendants of the Gods; taking you to the treasury of the Holy Land is no problem either."

The higher one's birth, the more they cherish their life, especially the Celestial Dragons; this is because the higher the wealth and status they possess, the deeper their fear of loss.

After all, once dead, there is nothing left.

Being alive means continuing to squander inexhaustible wealth and enjoy supreme power.

For the sake of life, Saint Elaine is willing to trade the news of the Holy Land's treasury to exchange for the opportunity to live.

"First, go catch those having the silver party."

With Saint Elaine's assistance, Saint Saint Saiwen easily catches a hundred Celestial Dragon pigs and throws them all into the alternate space created by Jin Ni's Door-Door Fruit ability.

Then, following Saint Elaine, he heads towards the so-called treasury of the Holy Land Mary Geoise.

"The Holy Land treasury has three in total."

"My clearance only knows the first one; the Five Elders know the second one; only our family's Laozu Sect knows where the third treasury is."

People like Saint Elaine who know the secrets of the Holy Land are a pity; due to innate class opposition, it is impossible to invite such a person onto the ship.

If he could be planted inside the Holy Land Mary Geoise to gather intelligence, that would be quite good.

When arriving before a golden and brilliant palace, Saint Elaine stops, slaps the two guards at the door twice with a slap-slap sound.

"Things without any sense of judgment."

"Hurry up and open the door for this Saint."

"Yes, my lord Saint Elaine."

Perhaps due to those two slaps, the guards dared not stop Saint Saint Saiwen from following Saint Elaine into the interior of the treasury.

Once the treasury doors closed again, Saint Elaine waved his hand as if visiting his own warehouse.

"Take whatever you like."

Saint Elaine reasoned: what could this kidnapper, hands empty, possibly take? Afterwards, he could just mumble a few excuses, claiming it was all bestowed upon the guards.

Even the Five Elders could find no fault.

The existence of the first treasury was originally prepared for the Celestial Dragons within the Holy Land; otherwise, where would they get Devil Fruits to feed the slaves?

Yet they saw Saint Saint Saiwen wave lightly.

The Devil Fruits, famous blades, gold and silver treasures, firearms... everything placed on the shelves vanished completely.

Seeing this, Saint Elaine instantly froze, the unbearable memories of his kidnapping experience suddenly assaulting his mind.

"It's you?!"

When Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen originally received the ransom from Admiral Yellow, the ransom vanished just like this; it was said he possessed spatial abilities.

"Saxi burida na, Saint Elaine."

Holy Land Mary Geoise, Pangea Castle.

Inside the spacious, bright palace, the Four Five Elders took their positions in turn; Saint Saturn cleared his throat lightly.

"Ahem~"

"With a Mythical Zoan Nine-Tailed Fox form user present, we have made all necessary preparations; Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen this time cannot escape even with wings."

"However, we must strictly guard the Holy Land to prevent Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen from infiltrating and kidnapping hostages."

As the self-proclaimed number two decision-maker of the World Government, Saint Saturn this time exhausted his lifetime's wisdom, not only successfully substituting Buggy with a fake.

He also locked the real Buggy away in Impel Down's Level Six, the Infinite Hell, completely cutting off all of Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen's retreat.

The person, the person cannot be saved.

The life, the life remains.

"He absolutely will not think the real Buggy is neither in Marineford nor in the Holy Land."

Saint Vortigern spoke up to remind: "Pay attention to that Door-Door Fruit user, Jin Ni."

Saint Saturn revealed a smile of total control.

"Rest assured, according to the message previously sent back by Fukusei, Jin Ni and Master Tenghu are often reprimanded by Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen for inadequate development of their fruit abilities."

"Jin Ni would absolutely not open a teleportation portal, over such a long distance, to the Holy Land Mary Geoise."

"We know the situation of the Morning Star Pirates completely, while the other side knows nothing of our arrangements; what does Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen have to win with?"

"Everyone relax, the advantage is with me!"

Shortly after, hearing that Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen and his group had arrived in Marineford, Saint Saturn breathed a sigh of relief.

The World Government and the Marines had set up layers of killing formations; the only variable was: Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen did not keep the appointment to go to Marineford as scheduled.

If he did not keep the appointment, not only would Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen become a joke on the high seas, but the World Government and the Marines would also become a laughingstock.

Fortunately, Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen is Heavy on Emotion.

However, news suddenly arrived one after another: one hundred and one Celestial Dragons in the Holy Land Mary Geoise had gone missing, and Treasury Number One of the Holy Land had been stolen.

Striking the Four Five Elders into a state of helplessness.

"How is it possible there was not a single sound?" Saint Vortigern blew his whiskers and glared: "Has Mary Geoise been infiltrated to this extent?"

"Or does Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen and the others possess mobility far beyond our imagination?"

"Perhaps we should just give up."

"Sue for peace with Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen?"

Saint Saturn hurriedly raised his hand to interrupt the words.

"Do not panic."

"Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen does not know Buggy is fake; even if we exchange hostages for Buggy, what then?"

"The advantage is still with me!"

"The current plan is to quickly inform Saint Nasu Shourou of the situation here, so that Saint Nasu Shourou has confidence and does not lose his composure."

The other Three Five Elders nodded in agreement.

"Seconded."

"Seconded."

"Seconded."
