"This..."
Saint Saturn of the Five Elders couldn't help but be somewhat stunned.
Initially, Saint Saturn was furious at Admiral Kizaru for neglecting his duties and allowing Vegapunk to create a storm conspiracy, using this opportunity to escape with Kuma and others...
But then...
A shocking piece of news arrived that even surprised him.
Unexpectedly, the victim of Vegapunk's conspiracy, Akihara Kagura, turned misfortune into fortune, not only mastering his own Rumble-Rumble Fruit ability but also acquiring other Devil Fruit abilities...
"Immediately track down Vegapunk!"
Saint Saturn's mind was stunned for just a second before it regained its composure. He realized Vegapunk held even more terrifying value!
"Quickly bring him back!"
Saint Saturn's voice was urgent and tense, ordering firmly, "Now, you are commanded to lead that fleet and immediately set out to capture Vegapunk. The technology that allows humans to possess multiple Devil Fruit abilities must be within the World Government's grasp!"
Too careless!
That genius scientist has surpassed their imagination...
He can even create new technology that defies the sea's rules!
No matter what, Vegapunk cannot be allowed to leave the control of the World Government. Whether it's reviving ancient technology or more new research results, they all depend on Vegapunk's mind!
Brusquely, Saint Saturn hung up the Radio Snail, seemingly having no time to chat idly with Admiral Kizaru, gathering more forces to chase the escaped Vegapunk.
"Finally over..."
Admiral Kizaru looked at the disconnected Radio Snail in his hand, then glanced at the paper filled with writings, finally satisfied, exhaling a sigh of relief.
"It's not over..."
"This is just the beginning."
Akihara Kagura turned and gazed at the distant sea, casually saying, "Let's go, we will hunt them down until we chase them into the Shampodi Archipelago..."
"Don't we need to report to Marshal Sengoku or Saint Saturn?"
Admiral Kizaru curiously glanced at Akihara Kagura, subconsciously asking, "If we go to Shampodi Archipelago, they will definitely consider it carefully..."
"How to report?"
Akihara Kagura looked at Admiral Kizaru even more curiously, "Should we tell them that we know Vegapunk and Kuma are heading to Shampodi Archipelago? If they ask how you know the destination, will you tell them you're actually Vegapunk's accomplice in escaping?"
The destination was leaked ahead of the escape?"
Admiral Kizaru stroked his chin, continuing to inquire.
"Admiral Kizaru..."
Akihara Kagura glanced at Admiral Kizaru, his eyes shining, "Shouldn't we claim that we don't know the destination, simply chasing the escape direction until we reach the Shampodi Archipelago, and then report it to Marshal Sengoku and Saint Saturn, forcing them to make quick judgments in a short time?"
"..."
Admiral Kizaru's eye twitched.
No...
Is this a proper subordinate?
Being the supervisor of someone like Akihara Kagura is truly a suffering...
Luckily.
He is also considered Akihara Kagura's subordinate.
In his heart, Admiral Kizaru mourned for the Five Elders and Marshal Sengoku for a second, immediately ordering the fleet to turn around, chasing Vegapunk and others in the escape direction.
Shampodi Archipelago.
The pirates here are gathering more and more.
For instance, Trafalgar Law, known by the nickname 'Death Surgeon', leading his Heart Pirates. This pirate is also a Super Rookie in the Worst Generation.
For instance, 'Clown' Buggy the Great Pirate, leading his Buggy Pirates to arrive at Shampodi Archipelago. His identity is super heavyweight among a group of newcomers!
However...
Never imagined that...
Clown Buggy's first act upon arrival at Shampodi Archipelago was to set up a stall in the bustling area of Shampodi No.1 Islands, openly selling Heavenly Celestial Dragon Identity Chips because he was a victor in hunting Celestial Dragons on Sky Island.
Clown Buggy exchanged his victory for his old friend Shanks on Sky Island for the sake of face, but his Celestial Dragon Chips weren't confiscated. In fact, he holds the most Celestial Dragon Chips across the seas. This was the reward bestowed by the Konoha Pirates to those courageous enough to participate in hunting Celestial Dragons.
Logically...
These Heavenly Celestial Dragon Identity Chips must not be wasted.
One could say, only here is the sole opportunity for hawking them.
Anyone wishing to obtain a Celestial Dragon Chip to attend the slave auction held by the Konoha Pirates must possess a Heavenly Celestial Dragon Identity Chip as an entry ticket.
Clown Buggy's business was good.
Many interested in attending the Celestial Dragon slave auction had no choice but to purchase Heavenly Celestial Dragon Identity Chips from Clown Buggy, earning him a substantial sum.
But...
There were also some blind fellows.
Because the majority arriving at Shampodi Archipelago were pirates.
The captain of the Kid Pirates, Eustass Kid, approached Clown Buggy's stall, grinning broadly, wanting to grab a Heavenly Celestial Dragon Identity Chip without paying money, glancing at the circus-like Clown Pirates, clearly having no intention to pay.
"Hey!"
"You haven't paid yet!"
Beast Tamer Mohji angrily admonished Eustass Kid.
Since the Clown Pirates' fame has been growing on the sea, many avoid them when they see them; they've never met anyone daring to provoke them!
Bam!
