Chapter 32: Sabaody Archipelago
"Clatter..."
"Hoo hoo…"
On the endless sea, it was a scorching summer just now, but it suddenly turned into a cold and windy winter the next moment.
Snowflakes began to fall in the sky, and the temperature suddenly dropped to below zero, making the refreshing sea breeze turn into bitingly cold winds.
This is the weather on the Grand Line, unpredictable and difficult for ordinary people to adapt to.
A large-scale ship is slowly advancing on the sea.
On the mast of the ship, a flag with mildly frowning narrowed eye sockets, and upward-curving horns is hung on it, its flamboyant and wanton appearance shows the identity of the ship.
"Captain, Vice-captain, the Sabaody Archipelago can be seen ahead!"
On the deck of the pirate ship, Kaishu and Kaido are wearing thin clothes while lying comfortably on sun loungers.
The so-called cold climate is just a joke to them.
At this time, on the observation platform on the mast, a crew who was holding a telescope shouted loudly.
In front of them, visible to the naked eye, a beautiful group of islands full of various bubbles appeared.
After days of sailing, the Beasts Pirates finally arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago.
They came here, of course, for the branches of the Treasure Tree Adam.
Tom is already preparing other materials for shipbuilding. When they bring 'Treasure Tree Adam' back, he can start building the pirate ship that truly belongs to the beasts Pirates.
In just a short while, the sky cleared up again.
The weather in this sea area really feels like a joke.
...
Sabaody Archipelago is located in front of the Red Line and in the middle of the Grand Line. It is near the Marineford where the Marine headquarters is located.
The world's largest mangrove, Yarukiman Mangrove has roots that are always exposed to water.
Moreover, its extremely long roots can reach all the way to the bottom of the sea.
The whole archipelago which is composed of 79 islands is actually a massive mangrove forest growing out from the middle of the ocean with each tree of the forest serving as an island on which people live.
The division of the island is also very clear, it's based on the numbers on the tree:
No. 1 to 29 are illegal areas where pirates and bounty hunters run amok;
No. 30 to 39 are amusement parks with bubble-based attractions;
No. 40 to 49 are tourist areas, filled with shops and souvenir stands;
No. 50 to 59 are shipyards area with coating mechanics;
No. 60 to 69 are the local headquarters for the Marines;
No. 70 to 79 is a hotel town.
The biggest feature here is the special natural resin secreted by the roots of the 'Yarukiman Mangroves' due to respiration.
The resin expands to form bubbles that fly into the sky, forming an extremely beautiful scene.
King and Bullet leaned on the railing of the ship while looking at the Sabaody Archipelago, with their eyes full of surprise.
"What a sight! It doesn't look like a place that contains evil!"
After getting off the boat, Kaishu squinted his eyes, while looking at the scenery around him with a sigh.
"Well, I heard that this is a sin island that combines entertainment and crime!" King explained.
Bullet asked curiously: "King, how did you know that?"
"I've just heard of it!" King shrugged.
Looking at the scenery around them as they strolled, the surrounding area appeared quite beautiful.
Not long after, the four of them came to a thick tree trunk with the mark of "23" on it.
"It's Area 23, I remember it seems to be an illegal area for human trafficking!"
Looking at the conspicuous mark, Kaido said in a strange tone.
"Will someone come to kidnap us and sell us as slaves later?!"
King and Bullet looked around curiously, there was no fear in their eyes, but a little 'expectation'.
"Oh, is it so?"
Kaishu suddenly replied playfully, as if he felt something.
"Isn't it here?"
As if responding to Kaishu's words, there was a rush of footsteps.
A group of strong men carrying guns and holding sharp weapons surrounded them.
The leader was a strong man who was more than 6 meters tall and exuded a vicious aura while he spoke arrogantly: "Hahaha, how lucky! I was able to meet the little brat from the Lunarians tribe."
The strong man looked at King with greedy eyes!!
"Hahaha, Boss, these two men are also good. I heard that Celestial Dragons like such tall and mighty mounts the most."
A group of human traffickers surrounded Kaishu and Kaido with excited eyes as they laughed unscrupulously with arrogance.
In this sea, there is never a shortage of greedy people who take risks for money!
"Idiot brother, is this what you mean when you said that no one would dare to mess with you?"
Seeing Kaido's ugly face, Kaishu teased in a strange way.
He didn't take the arrogant words of these traffickers to heart.
After all, he doesn't need to care what this group of soon-dead people says.
"These damn fools will pay for their stupidity."
Kaido looked at the traffickers with cold eyes. His tall body exuded a strong murderous aura, which could not help but make people feel fearful.
"Huh? Kill us, it seems that you still don't understand the situation!"
The leader of the human trafficker sneered with an extremely fierce expression while pointing the weapon in his hand toward Kaido.
"I'm 'Big Sword' Unil, who can even defeat pirates with a bounty of 80 million Belly. You guys should obediently become my money bag!"
Unil rushed forward with a smirk and tried to subdue Kaido and the others.
"Who the hell doesn't understand the situation?!"
Kaido's huge body rushed out, like a raging beast, and with a terrifying momentum, he punched Unil hard.
"You ignorant ants!"
Facing the huge fist that contains an incomparably violent aura, Unil's face changes drastically in an instant.
"Clang—"
"Boom!!"
The fists and knives met, and the violent air waves scattered, causing the ground several meters around to crack rapidly, forming something similar to the shape of a spider's web.
The sharp long knife only lasted for a second before it broke with a 'click'.
Kaido's huge fist hit Unil's body without any reduction in strength, blowing him away like a cannonball, with blood spitting out of his mouth as he smashed several big trees before falling to the ground.
"Boom!"
Unil's deformed body lay motionless on the ground. Obviously, he was not breathing.
"Ah! How is it possible?"
"Boss can defeat even pirates with a bounty of 80 million Belly!"
"He was killed by a single punch!"
"How can this be?"
The group of human traffickers opened their mouths wide, while sweating profusely, as they watched this scene in shock, some of them who had known Unil's strength before even felt more desperate.
"A bounty of 80 million Belly? Don't compare me with that trash!"
Kaido's eyes were cold, as he looked at this group of desperate human traffickers, his whole body exuded an aura that was more terrifying than beasts, making people in front of him tremble in fear.
"King, Bullet, they are handed over to you."
"Yes!" Both agreed.
King and Bullet rushed towards the traffickers without the slightest hesitation.
"Die, Thunder Punch!"
"Iron Dragon Fist!"
"Bang bang bang!!!"
"Ahhhh..."
"Damn, brat, I killed... ah..."
"No..."
"They are all monsters!!"
Without any accidents, accompanied by bursts of scalp-numbing screams, dozens of deformed corpses soon lay on the ground.
