One Piece: The Celestial Dragons' Self-Cultivation

Page 104

Satan rested his hands on his cane and squinted.

He delivered the most crucial decision in a deep voice:

“As long as he doesn’t take the initiative to stand on the world stage and challenge our authority, then non-existence is the most severe punishment for him.”

After much discussion, the five old men finally decided that—

Pretend you didn't see it.

At least until Christopher caused a major incident, the World Government treated him as if he didn't exist.

It has to be said, this is very much like the Five Elders.

Pitt had no objection to this, but he was clearly not in a good mood.

He snorted coldly, his tone clearly irritated:

"Christopher's problem can be put on hold, but those two audacious guys... must be dealt with."

The people Pitt was referring to were, of course, Lafayette and Enel, who were responsible for intercepting the navy's support for Mary Geoise.

Christopher couldn't be wanted, so the two of them became the unlucky ones.

Without looking up, Vochuli placed his hand on the drafted bounty poster:

"Capable of holding off Borsalino and Kuzan for half the night..."

"This level of skill has already surpassed the level of a newcomer."

"They must use a sufficient amount of money to declare their danger to the world."

Maz added:

"The CP should also investigate where they came from."

"Such strength has never appeared before."

Satan took a sip of the red wine in his glass and said calmly:

"So be it."

He tossed out two photos with bounty figures attached, clearly stating—

Unidentified male: Bounty of 948 million.

Unidentified male: Bounty of 948 million.

The former is Lafayette, and the latter is Enel.

Satan made a final summary:

"Proclaim these two faces and the amount to the world."

Although Enel and Lafayette were newcomers, they managed to stop a Marine Admiral and the infamous Monster Vice Admiral on their very first appearance.

They certainly cannot be treated as ordinary newcomers.

According to Kuzan and Borsalino, the reason they arrived in Mary Geoise only after the battle was because they encountered two extremely powerful individuals on the way.

The two sides fought so fiercely that the sky darkened, the sun and moon were obscured, flesh and blood were mangled, and arms and legs flew everywhere!

In short, the more exaggerated the better, it's definitely not because they don't want to support Mary Geoise.

Enel, Lafayette: Am I a super strong person? ???

The reason why Enel, who looks like a brute, has a higher bounty is because he spends most of his time facing Kuzan, who has already been promoted to admiral.

Thus, after being certified by both a Marine Admiral and a Monster Vice Admiral, Enel and Lafayette's bounties jumped directly to the level of Yonko Commander-in-Chief.

In addition, none of the four people who fought that day possessed Conqueror's Haki, and Borsalino and Kuzan did not take it seriously.

This led to Morgans' newsbirds directly taking photos of the two.

Morgans has always loved big news; if there isn't any, he'll create it.

So he deliberately selected a few photos of Enel and Lafayette launching attacks, while Borsalino and Kuzan were passively defending, and posted them.

At first glance, it seems as if the admiral was even at a disadvantage.

There's a very interesting phenomenon about the strong in this world.

Generally speaking, one will not easily get injured until their physical strength or domineering aura has been depleted to a certain extent.

Even if they look badly beaten, they can get up and immediately rejoin the battle without affecting their combat effectiveness.

Mandy and Kerr's injuries were significantly less severe than Christopher's, and they have now fully recovered.

However, Mandy seemed to be spurred on by Rayleigh, and trained even harder.

Consequently, the Koala, Hancock, and Kalifa sisters, who frequently participated in training at the manor, also began to train intensely.

Blake was very satisfied with this.

There might be a chance to send the maid squad to deal with Im's Knights.

Blake wanted to see if the World Government's eight hundred years of history could match his will to draw cards.

However, after a period of silence, Blake also plans to go to sea again.

His previous explanation to the Five Elders was not just a casual remark; he genuinely intended to take a trip on the high seas.

In two years, Kuina will face the greatest calamity of her life—the Great Staircase.

It's such a shame that such a talented future swordsman became Zoro's motivation to become stronger.

Blake felt it was necessary to save her life!

He even felt it was necessary to save the lives of all the beautiful women in the original story.

In addition, the Op-Op Fruit is about to be born.

Blake was still thinking about whether he could take this opportunity to stir up trouble again.

Chapter 137 A New Plan Delivered to Our Doorstep

"Lord Black Saint! You've finally arrived!"

"It is the greatest honor for Honggang and its subordinates to be able to welcome you here!"

As soon as Blake led his group to Red Harbor, a figure slid down to his knees before him; it was Osvid, the Red Harbor garrison commander.

Since this guy had permission from the Celestial Dragons to leave Red Harbor, the Five Elders ultimately didn't punish him too harshly.

Therefore, Osvid and his men who had gone out that day became the few survivors among the Red Harbor garrison.

Even Admiral Iron Wall was defeated, but this guy is actually not seriously injured.

"Perhaps this is what they mean by 'fools are lucky'."

Blake thought to himself, and casually kicked Osvid, who was about to pounce on his legs:

"Stop talking nonsense, is my ship ready?"

Osvid almost pressed his head to the ground, his smile etched wrinkles on his face, and his voice trembled slightly with excitement, carrying an almost fanatical fawning.

It was as if personally arranging Blake's trip was the pinnacle of his life's work.

In reality, while Oswald held Black in high esteem and even harbored a desire to curry favor with him, he wouldn't have been so despicable.

What truly led him to this point was what happened in Mary Geoise that day.

The garrison that remained at Red Harbor that day was almost completely wiped out, and even the admiral was killed in action.

Oswald felt that if he hadn't been sent on a publicly funded trip...

Most of the ships that weren't sent out for testing didn't survive.

Thinking about it that way, this guy even felt that Blake had saved his life.

Blake naturally understood Osvid's thoughts as well.

He didn't care about the other person's thoughts, and simply nodded slightly in response to the overly eager greeting.

Blake led the way, followed closely by the ever-growing army of beautiful women.

Oswald cautiously followed half a step behind Blake, continuing his fawning:

"Lord Black Saint, just hearing of your impending arrival makes the sea breeze in the harbor taste even sweeter!"

Robin behind him pursed her lips, somewhat unable to bear listening, but didn't say anything more.

Although the people around Blake are sometimes a bit disrespectful, they know how to behave appropriately in different situations.

Especially in front of outsiders, they are usually not too conspicuous.

Blake climbed the gangway, stood on the deck, and said to Osvid:

"You did a great job this time, I'm very satisfied."

This statement successfully thwarted Osvid's further attempts to curry favor.

Stella stepped forward at the opportune moment, her face bearing her warm smile that could melt ice and snow:

"Your Highness, everyone is ready."

Her gaze swept over Perona and Robin, who were ready to have fun as soon as they boarded the ship, her eyes carrying a gentle warning.

The long-standing suppression immediately quieted the two of them down.

Kalifa, Alpha, and Hiyori, these girls who hadn't been to sea much, looked around curiously.

Mandy subtly adjusted her position to shield them from the somewhat noisy sea breeze.

Scarlett bowed slightly and asked softly with an innate elegance:

"Your Highness, the sea breeze is getting colder. Would you like me to prepare a cloak for you?"

Not far away, Hancock held her head high, seemingly disdainful of everything around her, with Marigold following behind her like a lackey.

But her peripheral vision never left Blake's figure.

Seeing Scarlett's actions, Hancock gritted her teeth, feeling an urge to rush up and replace her.

He was still secretly annoyed, feeling that he should have thought of it sooner.

Blake gently brushed through Scarlett's pink hair:

"She's becoming more and more sensible."

"But no need, I'm not that fragile."

Once the slaves had loaded the necessary supplies onto the ship, Blake ordered the ship to set sail.

Oswald and the Red Harbor garrison knelt down together:

"Respectfully seeing off Lord Black Saint!"

The Temple slowly sailed away; Black's destination was the Grand Line.

Last time I came back from the West Sea, I took the Sky Island route above.

This time, Blake decided to randomly choose one of the seven paths to go to Upside Down.

The first stop on the journey from Mary Geoise to Paradise is the Sabaody Archipelago.

As usual, Blake chose to take a trip around area 16.

Just then, he suddenly felt a gaze fixed on him.

Black subtly activated his Observation Haki and immediately discovered the source of the gaze.

"Ah...this..."

Upon seeing this person, Blake immediately understood the other party's purpose.

The person secretly watching him was none other than Shakky, who lived in seclusion with Rayleigh in the Sabaody Archipelago.

After so many days, Shakky has accepted the fact that Rayleigh cannot come back.

But she noticed a detail.

There was no news about Raleigh in any newspaper, as if the events of that day had nothing to do with him.

Xia Qi, being an intelligence dealer, immediately sensed something was amiss.

Logically speaking, given Rayleigh's strength, he shouldn't have disappeared without a trace, no matter what accident occurred.
