Chapitre 38: Six Styles! Life Return!
Being an Admiral candidate who came from the Naval Headquarters elite training camp is not an easy task.
'But if it's just for me, it would be a bit... too low-priced, right?' Hancock frowned slightly, her thoughts flickering.
Lakeman is a Celestial Dragon. Would a Celestial Dragon feign hospitality to a Vice Admiral for the sake of his slaves? Even if the Marine Marshal himself came, it wouldn't be a big deal!
'But...'
Hancock could think of no other explanation. Lakeman had no reason to be enthusiastic about a Marine Vice Admiral. Judging from their relationship over the past month, Lakeman had no hidden intentions toward Kizaru, and there wasn't even any physical contact.
'So, it's probably for me, huh?' Hancock thought to herself and looked at Lakeman with complicated eyes.
'With your style, which is completely unlike other Celestial Dragons, it's really possible to do such a thing.'
She had a strange misunderstanding.
Ahead, Lakeman looked at Kizaru with a strange expression.
'How can I bring a Vice Admiral with me when I go to play Celestial Dragon? And why are you suddenly passionate about me? When you eat with me, don't you look as heavy as if your whole family is dead?'
"The Vice Admiral is interested, but..." Lakeman shook his head, still planning to refuse.
"Lakeman Saint!" Kizaru spoke hurriedly and interrupted, "You also need a Vice Admiral escort when you return. In that case, why not let me take charge of it? I can be on standby at Sabaody Archipelago at any time!"
'Ah, this?' Lakeman looked at Kizaru in shock.
'Are you being a little too positive? Are you really impressed by my charm? Come on, I don't want to be a troublemaker.'
"Master, according to the regulations of the World Government, you really need a Vice Admiral to escort you when you return. Why don't you choose Kizaru as Vice Admiral?" the butler suggested quietly. "It also saves you the trouble of choosing a new one and waiting for approval."
'It seems to make sense,' Lakeman thought thoughtfully, and after a moment, he nodded. The butler was right. When he returned, he also needed a Vice Admiral to escort him. Kizaru's strength was quite good. Moreover, he understood the rules of the workplace and would not show any attitude unrelated to work.
"Then I'll trouble you, Vice Admiral," Lakeman said finally.
"It's my honor," Kizaru bowed and saluted.
Lakeman nodded lightly, stopped looking at Kizaru, and turned to walk towards the Sabaody Archipelago. He was going to the auction on the island to see if he could buy some Devil Fruits.
Sabaody Archipelago is, in actuality, a massive mangrove forest in the middle of the ocean made up of 79 separate trees known as the Yarukiman Mangrove.
The Yarukiman Mangrove trees are the largest mangroves in the world, strong enough to grow from the bottom of the ocean to the top. Each tree is called a grove and serves as an island for which people live on. People can get from one grove to another via the various bridges built around the many tree roots.
Although it is an island, it is extremely vast and divided into different districts:
1st to 29th: Mainly include human trafficking shops, human auctions, illegal zones, etc.
30th to 39th: Mainly include Soap Bubble Park, etc.
40th to 49th: Mainly tourist areas, specialty shops, etc.
50th to 59th: Mainly shipyards, coating craftsmen, etc.
60th to 69th: Mainly Marine garrison, government entrance and exit, etc.
70th to 79th: Mainly hotel streets, etc.
Except for the Marine and the 60th to 69th groves where the government is stationed, the other areas are almost all illegal zones! Fighting takes place all day long. The territory is completely divided by different forces, and the rules of the ruling forces are followed.
The location of the mangrove forest is crucial in the travels through the Grand Line due to its proximity to the only two crossing points on this side of the world. Although several paths traverse the equatorial ocean, the only two points that cross to the other side (Mary Geoise and Fish-Man Island) are in exactly the same place, with one at the top of the Red Line and the other in a massive tunnel under the Red Line in the depths of the ocean.
Because this is the only point where one can cross into the New World, the location of the Sabaody Archipelago makes it ideal for anyone who needs to prepare to cross this section of the ocean by either means.
Thus, everyone from high-ranked nobles to traversing pirates uses the Sabaody Archipelago as a rest and preparation point as they look back on their previous journeys and prepare to enter the New World.
"Let's go to Grove 3 first," Lakeman ordered, and someone opened the way in front. He was riding in a car carried by a pink elephant, scanning both sides condescendingly.
The style of this travel was immediately recognizable as that of a Celestial Dragon. So no one dared to mess with him. Pedestrians on the road, whether pirates, gangsters, civilians, or other cunning people, all stayed away, fearing they would be spotted by Lakeman.
Celestial Dragons are the most untouchable group in the world. Even if you peed in public in Marineford, you might be arrested and locked up for a few hours. But if you provoke the Celestial Dragons, you will be hunted down endlessly! The forces behind you will tie you up and hand you over as soon as possible to protect themselves.
"It's really a nice scenery," Lakeman looked at the streets he passed through and felt they were full of a mixture of Japanese food street and American bar street, with a unique style.
He did not stay, but went to a large and splendid hotel. That's the Celestial Dragons' exclusive hotel. Many Celestial Dragons play in the Sabaody Archipelago all year round and have formed a fixed gathering place. Now that Lakeman was here, he naturally had to say hello to these old guys.
Entering the hotel, Lakeman was greeted with laughter and jeers.
"Hey, you're finally here, Lakeman Saint."
"As expected, you don't wear a bubble mask like the rumors say!"
"Hahaha, do you want to buy a new slave this time?"
"Sabaody Archipelago adds new items every week, including your favorite teenage girls."
The Celestial Dragons in the hotel burst out laughing when they saw Lakeman. He was unimpressed. Celestial Dragons had this virtue. He jumped off the pink elephant, walked slowly in, and found an empty seat to sit down. As for the three Boa sisters, Kizaru, and a group of servants, the hotel staff arranged for them to go to another place.
Lakeman was left with only his butler and his own bodyguard. But even the butler and guards could only stand in the corner. This gathering place of Celestial Dragons only allowed Celestial Dragons to stay in the center.
"It's your first time here, Lakeman Saint, but you have to stay a little longer."
"Yeah, Sabaody Archipelago is much more interesting than the Holy Land."
"Maybe Lakeman Saint will like this place and won't be willing to go back."
"Hahaha, that's good. The Holy Land is so boring."
The Celestial Dragons drank precious wine, laughed, and talked. Lakeman casually picked up a glass and slowly got into it.
A week passed.
Watching shows, eating delicious food, drinking, watching animal fights, appreciating art, spending money in casinos, and manipulating gang fights…
Lakeman was taken through all kinds of normal and abnormal entertainment projects. On the surface, Lakeman seemed to be indulging in this life of extravagance.
But in fact, he was indeed addicted to it. However, his strength did not stop growing.
