Chapter 1188! Stepping onto the Sabaody Archipelago
Chapter 1188! Stepping onto the Sabaody Archipelago
……
Perona stayed on the ship, but she barely had time to settle in before she had to disembark again.
Of course, it wasn't to send her away, but rather that Shen Ye and his group had already arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago.
The Sabaody Archipelago is less of an archipelago and more of a landmass formed by the roots of the world's largest mangrove tree. These enormous plant roots are exposed above the sea surface. As more people moved in and developed the area, and because it was a necessary route to Fishman Island, it gradually became an "island".
Anyway, it was quite a novel experience for Shen Ye and his companions, who were setting foot on this island for the first time. After getting off the ship, everyone kept exclaiming in amazement, including Shen Ye.
Of course, one person has to be excluded: Kalifa. As a former member of CP9, she had a lot of dealings with the Navy while working for the World Government and had even reported to the Marine Headquarters before. Therefore, she knew more about the Sabaody Archipelago than Shen Ye, since the Sabaody Archipelago was not far from the Marine Headquarters.
She was walking ahead of the group, leading the way and explaining the situation on the island.
"This island was formed from the roots of a tree called Yarchiman mangrove, so it's not a real island. Nami, stop taking pictures of your Log Pose. It's not broken because there's no magnetic field here."
"In addition, this island is divided into seventy-nine areas because it is composed of seventy-nine Yarchiman mangrove trees. Numbers one to twenty-nine are the illegal areas on the island, including the human auction and human trafficking shops. In short, do not go there easily... Of course, with Shen here, everyone can rest assured."
"There's a soap bubble park between the 30th and 39th, which is the bubble that Vivi is holding right now, but there's nothing fun there."
"Then it's number 40 to 49. That should be our first stop, since there are tourist areas and specialty shops there. Perona can buy the clothes she needs there."
"In addition, there are three other areas: 50 to 59, 90 to 69, and 70 to 79, which are the areas for coating ships and the naval bases, respectively..."
Although Kalifa was enthusiastically explaining things in front of her, none of the people following behind her were listening attentively. Everyone's attention was still on the strange sights on the island. Apart from Perona, who considered herself a lady, everyone, including Shen Ye, was playing with a bubble in their hands.
So when Kalifa was hoarse from talking and turned around to receive everyone's praise, she saw everyone throwing bubbles at each other behind her.
Seeing this, Kalifa's forehead was immediately covered with black lines. It wasn't until Perona, who noticed her unusual expression, praised her in an innocent tone that her expression softened considerably.
However, she still said irritably, "I said, can you guys be a little more mature? You're all grown up, why are you still acting like children?"
“This proves that we still have a childlike heart…” Shen Ye said, but before he could finish, Nami threw a bubble at him and hit him on the forehead. So he didn’t finish his sentence and grabbed the surrounding bubbles and threw them at Nami.
Seeing this, Kalifa sighed and rubbed her forehead, but she didn't say anything more, just leaned against a protruding tree root and watched...
Soon after, the group, having finished their playful antics, arrived at Zone 40. As Kalifa had mentioned before, this was their first stop, since they needed to buy clothes for Perona, who was wearing old clothes. The women had been adrift at sea for too long and were also missing the feeling of shopping.
Soon, the group found a commercial street specializing in all kinds of clothing. However, Shen Ye had no interest in shopping, so he didn't accompany them. Instead, he went into a small shop selling cold drinks on the street to rest.
Shen Ye ordered a cup of the restaurant's specialty ice cream, then found a seat by the window. He scooped the ice cream into his mouth with a spoon while waiting for the women to return from shopping.
However, women usually spend hours shopping. After waiting for half an hour, Shen Ye took out his Den Den Mushi and called Kalifa, saying he was going to go for a walk nearby. Then he got up and left the ice cream shop.
This was also one of the few times Shen Ye acted alone since arriving in this world.
Originally, Shen Ye planned to ride the bubble car to check out the illegal areas on the island, since an incredibly handsome person was "living" in seclusion on this island. However, an accident occurred when he passed through area 31.
A tall man suddenly rushed out from the roadside and almost crashed into his bubble car.
Shen Ye wasn't too concerned at first, and planned to scold the impetuous man a couple of times before leaving.
But when he saw the collar around the man's neck and heard what the man said, he immediately pulled the car over to the side of the road.
"I don't want to go to the new world, I don't want to go to the new world."
"Let me go, I want to go home! Will anyone help me?"
However, the man's humble and pitiful cries did not elicit sympathy from the passersby. Instead, they looked at the man with fear and hatred, or rather, at the collar that the man kept pulling at.
That was a collar given to slaves by the Celestial Dragons, the nobles of this world. Wearing this collar not only meant losing freedom, but also losing control of one's own life, because a bomb was planted inside the collar, and it would explode if there was any resistance.
At this moment, Shen Ye looked at the man with a strange expression, observing him like any other passerby. The man's fierce appearance clearly indicated that he was a pirate who had been captured and sold to the Celestial Dragons. He wouldn't sympathize with one dog just because he disliked another.
However, when he saw the man grab a girl by the neck on the roadside, his gaze changed instantly, and he immediately jumped off the bubble car.
But just as he was about to rush over to help, a hand suddenly grabbed his arm from behind, and at the same time, a childish voice came, though it sounded a little unclear:
"Trust me, it's best not to move yet, a Celestial Dragon is coming."
Upon hearing the voice, Shen Ye was stunned for a moment. Then he turned around and saw that the person holding his arm was actually a little girl with long pink hair, who looked to be only eleven or twelve years old.
At this moment, the little girl was chewing something, which is why Shen Ye heard it as something mumbled indistinct.
Then, Shen Ye's gaze shifted downwards and fell on the sandwich in the little girl's other hand.
Immediately, the little girl's identity information appeared in his mind.
The gluttonous girl, Joelle Bonney!
