章節 21: Sabaody Archipelago

Sabaody Archipelago

A pirate ship with a jolly roger of a skull with the mark Z on the eyepatch could be spotted traveling towards this Island.

This pirate ship belonged to Z Pirates! they were looking judging the Island which looked to be a massive mangrove forest.

Mark knew very well that this was the time when the rookies gathered on this island and the world would finally know of the Worst Generation. Mark and his pirate group walked around the streets when something interesting caught the attention of Mark.

A Celestial Dragon could be spotted sitting on top of another human being who as crawling on all four. When the Celestial Dragon was passing the streets people started to kneel, it wasn't because the celestial Dragons were respected but it was because they were feared.

Of course, Mark and his crew didn't kneel down but they were a bit far away so the Celestial Dragon wouldn't really care.

"Here he comes!" Mumbled Mark while looking towards the other side of the street where a green haired man could be seeing walked towards the Celestial Dragon without kneeling! The man had three swords on him.

"That's Roronoa Zoro! From the Strawhat Pirates!" Said Capone Bege in a slow tone to Mark and the crew. Of course, Mark knew who he was but he was still surprised that Capone Bege knew him.

When Capone saw Mark looking at him weirdly he continued.

"They are a bunch of madmen who keep offending the World Government!" Capone took a breath.

"Is the World Government stronger than the people who we offended?"

Yuri interrupted, as she was really curious about how things worked.

Capone Bege just sighed without continuing.

The whole scene ended with one of the rookies Jewelry Bonnie interrupting and saving Zoro from making a mistake. As things kept moving forward.

Mark suddenly wanted to try something more fun, so he told his crew to do whatever while he walked towards the opposite direction of them.

"What is he up to now?" Said Satyr Jr while looking at the disappearing figure in the distance.

"Doesn't matter let's just go to a restaurant." Said Capone Bege while the two men beside him said: "Yes father!"

Satyr Jr and Yuri walked in another direction.

Outside of groove 1, there was an auction house who sold human slaves and Fishman slaves

Mark could be seen trying to unlock the neck-ring cuffs on the human slave outside of the human slave house. Guards were rushing towards the outside.

"Run! What are you doing kid, your gonna get captured!" Screamed the slave hysterically.

But too late the guards surrounded Mark. And he just raised his hands in the air as if he had given up. The guards put a neck-ring on Mark and escorted him into the auction hall.

They threw him into a huge cell which held a couple of prisoners. But the one who stood out the most was a giant.

Mark wasn't really interested in the giant but the one who sat next to him, all mysteriously.

The cell was completely silent. Until a mermaid was escorted into the cell by some rough looking guards and a ring announcer.

When the guards were about to kick the little mermaid.

Bang!

Two sounds of head knocking on the ground could be heard as the guards fell back over!

The giant turned his head towards the mysteriously old man.

Hey, old man.. stop playing innocent already, that was you, right? That Haoshoku Haki?" The giant didn't seem to be disturbed by what just transpired.

But Mark was shocked to the core!! Haoshoku Haki! He didn't have that! He was always wondering why.

Mark turned towards the old man who took out a bottle of alcohol and sipped on it while talking to the giant.

"How did you do that?" Mark asked in a nervous quiet voice, he was bit excited on the thought of knowing how to do it.

"Oh!" Said the mysterious old man while looking towards Mark with a faded smile.

This old man was actually the former first right hand of the Pirate King!

Dark King Silvers Rayleigh!

Mark couldn't keep his curiosity in check. He really wanted to learn Haoshoku Haki.

"Why do you have such a wicked and evil aura around you little kid?" Said silvers Rayleigh with a serious look.

The giant also turned serious when he looked at Mark.

Mark just shrugged. As if he cared what kind of aura he had.

Suddenly chaos could be heard from inside the auction hall.

Mark already knew what transpired. In the cannon, straw hat pirates, the heart pirates and the kid pirates should all be inside of the auction hall right now

Rayleigh took off his neck-ring and also the neck-ring of the giant, but he didn't help Mark.

"I suppose you can take off yours?" Asked Rayleigh with a smile on his face as kept walking towards the auction hall without turning around.

Mark destroyed the neck ring immediately and walked towards the auction hall.
