Chapter 85: See You Later

Sabaody Archipelago, Island 55.

Islands 50 through 59 of the archipelago are the ship coating districts; for pirate ships aiming to Head to the New World, the vast majority will go to these islands.

Even if using Archipelago Red Mangrove resin to coat the ships to withstand deep-sea pressure, then diving about ten thousand meters beneath the Sabaody Archipelago, passing through the giant cavern at the bottom of the Red Line to reach the New World.

Or, like Golden Lion, using Devil Fruit abilities to make the ship float and fly, passing over the Red Line.

The shipwrights working at the dock were suddenly drawn by a series of exclamations.

"Look over there."

"Dragon-head, red sails, flame flag—it's the Morning Star Pirates of the Emperor Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen."

"Are they finally going to Head to the New World?"

Amidst the exclamations and near-fanatical gazes, the Donghai Dihuang docked steadily at the port.

On the deck, Saint Saint Saiwen was arranging tasks.

"Mr. Mihawk, Master Tenghu, you stay to handle the coating matters; we'll go explore the island."

"Yes, Captain."

After disembarking, Saint Saint Saiwen led Jin Ni, Xiong Xiong, Dorry, and Brogy to the other coating islands to find a suitable target for the giants to ride.

He originally thought it would be a difficult task.

After all, most giants operate in Elbaf; who in the Paradise section of the Grand Line would idly build a giant ship for giants to ride?

However, with just one glance.

Dorry lowered his voice and frantically raised his eyebrows at Saint Saint Saiwen, who sat on his shoulder.

"Heh heh heh~ Captain, do you see it?"

The Donghai Dihuang was already large enough; Xiong Xiong, nearly seven meters tall, could move freely on board, and when docked, it was larger than the dry dock itself.

But compared to that luxurious giant yacht in the distance, it was like a human standing next to a giant; the size difference was obvious at a glance.

Saint Saint Saiwen grinned, his face overflowing with uncontrollable joy.

Just as he felt sleepy, someone brought a pillow.

Who could this kind benefactor be?

"That one."

"I'll go scout for information; you guys move around freely, just remember not to get separated."

Dorry and Brogy were too large and would easily raise alarms, while Saint Saint Saiwen's speed, second only to the brother who ate the Pika Pika no Mi, was perfect for scouting.

"Captain, Xiong Xiong and I will go too."

Jin Ni, sitting on Xiong Xiong's shoulder, said softly: "The two of us can hide in the alternate space created by the Door Door Fruit to figure out the interior situation of that yacht."

"Good." Saint Saint Saiwen nodded excitedly.

"Let's go."

Zero-yuan shopping is the kind of thing that, once started, happens countless times; besides, in the pirate world, and with Saint Saint Saiwen being a famous pirate,

Is a pirate who doesn't steal even a pirate?

Regarding the ownership of this giant yacht, Saint Saint Saiwen already had a guess: either a Celestial Dragon or a noble from a World Government member nation, and a relatively wealthy one at that.

Simply because the decoration was truly too luxurious.

Unlike the Donghai Dihuang's simplicity, this giant yacht seemed to have piled up every object imaginable that could display noble status.

Huge gems of various colors shone brilliantly under the sunlight.

The carvings on the gunwales, the handles on the cabin doors, even the grates of the deck drains, were all covered in a thick, dense layer of gilded gold.

And when Saint Saint Saiwen transformed into electricity and entered the yacht's interior, what he saw and heard almost made him laugh out loud.

"Good heavens, Adam Tree."

According to the current timeline, King Harald of the Giants is striving to make Elbaf a World Government member nation.

Then the truth is about to be revealed.

This yacht was originally a giant ship built by the giants, a warship crafted from wood cut from the World Tree (Adam Tree) in Elbaf.

It was given to the Celestial Dragons by Harald.

"In other words, this Celestial Dragon is most likely of status as noble as that pig Elain last time?"

Thinking of this, Saint Saint Saiwen admitted he was somewhat tempted.

In this great sea, when it comes to getting rich quick, kidnapping Celestial Dragons and Extort the World is the way to go.

Last time, kidnapping the pig Elain not only yielded the strategic-level Devil Fruit, the Door Door Fruit, but the Xiong Xiong Fruit, a Mythical Zoan, sold for a staggering 60,000 points, allowing Saint Saint Saiwen to purchase the Lunarian bloodline in one fell swoop.

An excited heart, trembling hands.

"Anyway, we're going to Head to the New World; the World Government and the Navy have limited influence in the New World. At worst, we can apologize to the Five Elders afterward."

"The timid starve, the bold feast."

"Let's do it."

When Saint Saint Saiwen made up his mind to kidnap a Celestial Dragon again and reunited with Xiong Xiong and Jin Ni, the news he received made him sigh at the mystery of fate.

"The giant yacht belongs to Saint Elain?"

Jin Ni nodded: "Yes, Captain. We specifically bribed the coating craftsmen and nearby pirates with money; that Celestial Dragon has gone to the slave auction house right now."

"Admiral Kizaru is personally accompanying him."

"The yacht will be fully coated in two days."

After a moment of thought, Saint Saint Saiwen formed a plan.

If it is Saint Elain, then there is no need to actively kidnap; instead, we can counter-attack passively.

Given the nature of Celestial Dragons, if they see the kidnapper Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen from six months ago again, they will surely be unable to resist, and with an Admiral right there, they will 100% order the kidnapper's arrest to wash away the previous shame.

"Understood." Saint Saint Saiwen began to arrange things.

"Xiong Sang, Jin Ni, you four return to the dock first and meet with Mi Sang. Once the yacht is coated, assist Dorry and Brogy in reclaiming our yacht."

"By the way, have Mi Sang come to the Slave Auction House. We'll kidnap a pig to get a pass."

With the Celestial Dragon in hand, especially Elaine Saint from the Neron family, the World Government and the Navy would not rashly start a war.

As for whether there would be retaliation afterward?

If you have the ability, come to the grand stage of the New World.

Before the massive benefits about to be gained, the retaliation from the World Government and the Navy seems insignificant.

Saint Saint Saiwen transformed into Lei Ting, shot skyward at extreme speed, and within a few breaths, arrived at the Slave Auction House on Sabaody Archipelago's Island One.

The moment he landed, not only did Saint Saint Saiwen feign surprise, but Aokiji's pupils also contracted tightly.

Unable to dissuade Elaine Saint from abandoning his thoughts of revenge, Aokiji could only negotiate with Fleet Admiral Sengoku, sending Vice Admiral Garp, who was escorting prisoners to Impel Down, to come quickly, while also summoning Akainu from the headquarters to provide support.

Never in a million years would one expect fate to be so mysterious.

The group had just exited the Slave Auction House when they ran straight into Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen.

"Saxi burida na, Borsalino."

Aokiji stepped forward, silently blocking the bloodshot gaze of enemies meeting, but was roughly shoved aside by Elaine Saint.

"Damn commoner."

"How dare you appear before this Saint."

"Admiral of the Navy, kill him for this Saint immediately."

As a supreme Celestial Dragon, Elaine Saint could tolerate that Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen would not be pursued afterward, since that was the decision of the Five Elders.

But he could absolutely not tolerate—

A lowly kidnapper daring to appear before his very eyes so brazenly and arrogantly.

This was an affront to his dignity!

Hearing these words, Aokiji muttered that things were bad. Although he had little affection for Elaine Saint, this was during a mission, and the target under escort could not be lost.

"Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen, give me some face."
