Chapter 163 Shocked Warring States

After leaving the Seven Waters City, Ling Tian and Roger rode the wind and headed towards the Sabaody Archipelago at a very fast speed. Along the way, the sea breeze blew across their faces, bringing a hint of salty air.

Soon after, the mysterious and legendary Chabao Archipelago appeared in their sight.

From afar, the Chagos Archipelago is covered with lush vegetation, white clouds float leisurely above the islands, and the sun shines on the sea, reflecting sparkling waves.

As the distance got closer, the outline of the island became clearer, and the ships moored at the pier and the bustling crowd gradually came into view.

They came here for two reasons. First, Roger wanted to meet his former partner Rayleigh. Although the years passed, the deep friendship was always buried deep in Roger's heart. He longed to reunite with his old friend and share each other's experiences and stories. Second, Ling Tian hoped to win over Rayleigh to join their camp. Rayleigh, as the former vice captain of the Pirate King's ship, had unfathomable strength. With his help, future operations would be smoother.

"Wow, the Sabaody Archipelago is still the same as before." Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar scene in front of him, and the Sabaody Archipelago that has hardly changed in his memory, Roger couldn't help but sigh.

His eyes revealed a complex emotion of nostalgia and emotion. The memories of his past on this land came to his mind. Those passionate adventures, fierce battles and happy times spent with his companions seemed like they were just yesterday.

"After all, this place is close to the headquarters of the navy, and no one dares to act wildly here." Ling Tian heard Roger's words, looked at the island ahead, and spoke slowly.

The geographical location of the Chabaoti Archipelago is extremely special. It is the island closest to the naval headquarters, and its powerful naval force forms an invisible deterrent.

Under the close surveillance of the navy and the powerful suppression of military forces, ordinary pirates and lawless elements dare not cause trouble here easily, for fear of attracting the encirclement and pursuit of the navy.

Even those conceited and powerful supernovas generally would not choose to cause trouble here.

As the Chabaoti Archipelago is so close to the Navy Headquarters, it is always under the strict surveillance of the Navy. It is like an invisible net covering the area. Any rash action may lead to a catastrophic disaster.

Here, naval patrols frequently travel through the streets and alleys, soldiers on the watchtowers remain on high alert at all times, and powerful military forces are ready to deal with any situation that may arise.

Although those supernovas were all arrogant, ambitious and eager to make a name for themselves in this ocean, they also knew clearly that causing trouble in the Sabaody Archipelago would undoubtedly be courting death and a blatant provocation to the authority of the Navy, which would inevitably lead to the Navy's full-scale encirclement and brutal suppression.

Of course, Luffy in the original work is an exception.

Luffy is a fearless person who does whatever he wants. He is also very loyal and will do anything for his friends. In the Sabaody Archipelago, when his friends were threatened, he didn't care whether it was close to the Navy Headquarters or surrounded by dangers. He would step forward without hesitation and make a scene.

The moment he stepped onto this land, Roger took a deep breath, feeling the long-lost atmosphere, his eyes flashing with excitement. Ling Tian was observing his surroundings vigilantly, paying attention to the movements and people around him.

There were people coming and going on the streets, including vendors selling various goods, pirates looking for adventure partners, and naval soldiers maintaining order.

"Let's go, let's go find Rayleigh first." Ling Tian looked at the bustling street in front of him with no fluctuations in his eyes, showing no interest at all.

He crossed his arms over his chest, raised his feet and prepared to walk forward.

"Don't be so disappointing, let's play here for a while first." Hearing Ling Tian's words, Roger showed an unwilling expression on his face and couldn't help but speak.

After all, he had just been resurrected and returned to this familiar yet strange world. All new things were very attractive to him, and he was inevitably more interested in these things that were full of the breath of life.

At this moment, he was like a child, his mind full of thoughts of playing.

"You haven't forgotten what we came to the Sabaody Archipelago for, have you?" Ling Tian stopped and turned around after hearing Roger's words, and spoke with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

Looking at Roger's excited face, he couldn't help but complain in his heart, why is this guy's personality the same as Luffy, both so carefree and do whatever they want.

But now is not the time to have fun, they have important things to do.

Hearing Ling Tian's words, Roger was stunned at first, then the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and he immediately realized the purpose of their coming here.

They wanted to find Rayleigh and then discuss how to save Ace. This was not something that could be delayed for fun.

Thinking of this, Roger's expression became serious. He nodded and said, "Sorry, I was confused. Let's go find Rayleigh."

Having said that, Roger stopped arguing and obediently followed Ling Tian, ​​walking quickly towards Island No. 13.

Island No. 13 is where Rayleigh often hangs out and is also the island where Xia Qi's bar is located.

At this moment, without any warning, something strange happened. People who were walking and talking normally suddenly showed fear on their faces, and then they all bowed their heads and knelt down in fear. The street was instantly filled with a tense and oppressive atmosphere.

"Is it the Celestial Dragons?" Roger frowned when he saw everyone kneeling down, and couldn't help but ask. There was a flash of disgust and disdain in his eyes. He always sneered at the Celestial Dragons' tyrannical behavior.

"It should be correct," Ling Tian replied solemnly. In this land, apart from the Tianlong people, there is really no other existence that has such a grand show and face that can make everyone present kneel down in fear.

Their power and status are demonstrated in this disgusting way.

Just as Ling Tian and Roger were talking, a figure suddenly appeared in front of them. It was a man wearing a transparent oxygen mask that covered his entire head and wearing exaggerated white clothes.

He walked with an arrogant stride, followed by a group of people who looked like bodyguards. He glanced coldly at the people kneeling around him, as if these people were nothing but ants in his eyes.

"Why, why don't you kneel down?" Just as this Tianlong man was enjoying the respectful treatment of everyone kneeling with a smug look on his face, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Ling Tian and Roger who were standing upright.

An expression of anger and surprise immediately emerged on his face, which was mostly covered by the oxygen mask. His eyes widened, and while yelling hysterically, he quickly pulled out a gorgeous golden pistol from his waist and pointed it directly at Ling Tian and Roger.

"Let's go, there's nothing to see." Looking at the arrogant behavior of the Tianlong man, a trace of disdain flashed across Ling Tian's face, and he spoke directly to Roger in a calm expression.

There was no fear in his eyes, as if the Tianlong man pointing a gun at them was just an insignificant clown. After saying that, Ling Tian took a step forward without hesitation, ready to leave this place of trouble.

Seeing this, Roger shrugged and followed without a care. He also ignored the celestial dragons who took advantage of their status to bully others.

"You actually ignored me? Go to hell!" Seeing Ling Tian and Roger ignoring him, the celestial dragon's anger was instantly ignited to the extreme. He immediately pulled the trigger with a ferocious face.

With a gunshot, the golden bullet whizzed out and shot straight at Ling Tian and Roger.

However, even though the Tianlong man pulled the trigger, Ling Tian and Roger ignored him.

The golden bullet that was shot out at a high speed suddenly stopped as if it hit an invisible wall ten centimeters away from Ling Tian and the others, and then fell to the ground with a "clang".

A dull roar was heard. Ling Tian glanced back, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and then a powerful shock wave suddenly erupted from Ling Tian's body, like a surging torrent, rushing towards the arrogant Tianlong at an astonishing speed.

The shock wave carried tremendous power and hit the defenseless Tianlong in an instant. The Tianlong flew backwards as if hit by a heavy hammer, then fell heavily to the ground and fainted instantly.

Those who had their heads down subconsciously looked up after hearing the noise. When they saw the fallen Celestial Dragons, they were so shocked that their eyes widened and they couldn't believe their eyes.

Their eyes were filled with shock and fear. In their cognition, the Celestial Dragons were superior and inviolable. They had never dreamed that someone would dare to treat the Celestial Dragons like this. This was simply unprecedented.

However, Ling Tian and Roger ignored the reactions of the people around them, as if they had just done something insignificant. They looked calm and walked away with firm steps, and their figures soon disappeared around the corner of the street.

At this moment, the CP0 members who were guarding the Celestial Dragons nearby saw this scene, and cold sweat kept coming out of their foreheads, with beads of sweat sliding down their cheeks.

You know, as the guards of the Tianlong people, their duty is to ensure the safety of the Tianlong people, but now the Tianlong people are attacked under their noses. It is conceivable that they will face extremely serious consequences when they return.

However, even though they knew clearly that they might be severely punished when they returned, they still called the Navy Headquarters without hesitation.

On the other end of the phone, Admiral Sengoku was handling affairs. When he heard CP0's report, he was stunned and his hand holding the phone froze in mid-air.

He had been the Admiral of the Navy for so long, but this was the first time he heard of the Celestial Dragons being attacked. For a moment, he even wondered if he had heard it wrongly.

It took a long time for Zhan Guo to come back to his senses from the shocking news he had just heard. His expression instantly became extremely serious, his eyes revealed solemnity and worry, and then he began to make arrangements for the response.

Because this time the CP0 group used the word "attack" in their report, which means that the seriousness of the matter is beyond imagination.

The attack on the Celestial Dragons was a major event that could shake the entire world and must be treated with caution. After careful consideration, Sengoku planned to arrange for two generals, Kizaru and Aokiji, to go to the Sabaody Archipelago to deal with the matter.

Soon, Kizaru and Aokiji hurried to Sengoku's office one after another.

As soon as he came in, Aokiji looked lazy, stretched, yawned and said, "What's the matter, Marshal Sengoku? What big thing happened again? Why did you have to call me here? I'm still resting."

As he spoke, he found a chair, sat down casually, and crossed his legs.

Kizaru also looked reluctant. He was enjoying a wonderful vacation, and it was a paid vacation, so it was so comfortable.

However, he was forcibly deducted by a Den Den Mushi of Sengoku, and Sengoku also sternly told Kizaru that if he did not come back immediately, his salary for this month would be deducted.

This scared Kizaru greatly. He couldn't bear to give up the generous salary, so he had to end his vacation immediately and returned to the Marine Headquarters without stopping.

"CP0 called me just now and said that the Celestial Dragons were attacked in the Sabaody Archipelago, and asked us to immediately send an admiral to capture the guy who attacked the Celestial Dragons." Looking at the two guys in front of him, Aokiji who was acting careless and Kizaru who looked depressed, Sengoku covered his head and spoke with a headache.

To be honest, if Akainu was not busy dealing with other extremely important matters at the moment and could not spare the time, Sengoku even wanted to send all three admirals out.

After all, this incident involves an attack on the Celestial Dragons. If it is not handled properly, the consequences will be disastrous.

"How terrible! I didn't expect someone would dare to attack the Celestial Dragons." Hearing what Sengoku said, Kizaru sat on a chair beside him, crossed his legs, and seemingly nonchalantly cut his nails with a small file while speaking in a sarcastic tone.

Although he had that signature playful smile on his face, his eyes also flashed with a hint of solemnity. After all, the identity of the Celestial Dragons was special, and the impact of this incident was bound to be far-reaching.

When Aokiji heard what Sengoku said, his lazy expression instantly disappeared and he couldn't help but frown. He crossed his arms and fell into deep thought.

Over the years, although the pirates on the sea have become more and more rampant, no one has dared to attack the Celestial Dragons directly. He really didn't expect that someone would be so bold as to beat up the Celestial Dragons.

"So this time I plan to send you to the Sabaody Archipelago. This mission is of vital importance. It concerns the reputation of the navy and its relationship with the World Government. I hope you can do your best to bring those who attacked the Celestial Dragons to justice." Sengoku leaned on the desk with both hands, his eyes sharp as he looked closely at Kizaru and Aokiji and spoke.

When Kizaru and Aokiji heard what Sengoku said, the laziness on their faces faded a little.

Kizaru stopped trimming his nails, stood up, stretched, and said with a smile: "Oh, since the marshal has said so, we can only leave." Aokiji also slowly stood up from the chair, put his hands in his coat pockets, nodded and said: "Okay, I know, we will leave now."

Although they still looked lazy on the surface, they knew the seriousness of the matter in their hearts.

Afterwards, without any delay, the two of them left Sengoku's office with firm steps and quickly headed towards the Sabaody Archipelago.
