"No way, Granny Nyon?" the captain of the Kuja Pirates said.
Traditionally, the captain of the Kuja Pirates was the empress of the Amazon Lily, but since the empress position was currently vacant, she temporarily held the role.
And the Amazon Lily was managed by Granny Nyon, with both civilian and military authority.
"You saw that dragon just now, its strength is estimated to be on par with an Admiral. Would someone who can tame it be weak?" Granny Nyon shook her head.
"Admiral!!!!"
The captain of the Kuja Pirates trembled. Although she understood that Slifer the Sky Dragon was extraordinary, she hadn't expected its strength to reach such a realm. Admirals represented the highest combat power of the Marines; there were only three publicly known Admirals.
Moreover, an Admiral also represented the high-end combat power of this world, each capable of rivaling a nation.
At this moment, the captain of the Kuja Pirates suddenly understood why Granny Nyon didn't drive away Ye Chen back then.
It wasn't that she didn't drive him away, it was that she dared not.
After all, angering an Admiral would not be a good thing for the Amazon Lily.
Granny Nyon looked at the black dot that had disappeared in the distance and sighed, "I wonder where that person came from, whose mount is at the Admiral level."
The captain of the Kuja Pirates also looked helpless.
Granny Nyon said to the captain of the Kuja Pirates, "Let's go. Prepare the Devil Fruits and await his return."
Granny Nyon had no worries about Ye Chen's success.
Although the Heavenly Gold belonged to the Celestial Dragons, their overall strength was not deep; they simply remained unchallenged by the World Government.
With a powerful helper like Slifer the Sky Dragon, it would be a very simple matter for Ye Chen to retrieve Hancock.
So all they needed to do was wait for Ye Chen to return.
Under the azure sky, a red streak of light flew at an extremely high speed.
And this red streak of light was Slifer the Sky Dragon.
Ye Chen sat on the Sky Dragon's head, holding the newspaper that Granny Nyon had directly given him.
Inside, besides the whereabouts of the Heavenly Gold, there was also a map from the Amazon Lily to the Heavenly Gold's current location.
"Land of Wano."
It was a small country in the first half of the Grand Line, and it was also Ye Chen's destination this time.
The World Government's affiliated countries had to pay tribute to the World Nobles, the Celestial Dragons, every year. The Heavenly Gold was the fleet responsible for escorting these tributes. Each time it arrived at a country, the Heavenly Gold would stay in that country for three days.
And now, the Heavenly Gold had been in the Land of Wano for two days, meaning it would leave the Land of Wano in one more day.
Once the Heavenly Gold left the Land of Wano and entered the vast ocean, it would be difficult to find them. To reach the Land of Wano before the Heavenly Gold left, Ye Chen had the Sky Dragon exert its full power.
Slifer the Sky Dragon, as the ruler of the skies and one of the Three Egyptian God Cards from the Yu-Gi-Oh! world, had extraordinary speed. Ye Chen sat on the Sky Dragon's head, only seeing the scenery flash by like a movie.
Its speed had already broken the sound barrier.
Traveling at such a speed, Ye Chen's small body would certainly not be able to withstand it. However, the Sky Dragon's divine power enveloped Ye Chen's head with a protective shield, so Ye Chen felt no pressure from the flight.
"Boss, a red meteor." On a pirate ship in the vast sea, a pirate pointed to the sky and said to their captain.
The captain looked up, saw no red meteor, and punched the pirate on the head, sternly saying, "What meteor are you talking about in broad daylight? And a red one? Are you dreaming?"
"But... it's true."
"Shut up, or you won't get any dinner tonight."
"Yes." The pirate immediately shut up when he heard about no dinner. Going without dinner was quite a torment.
Due to the Sky Dragon's full-speed flight, it caused quite a few interesting incidents, and even made it into the newspapers.
...
"System, how do I get more random exchange chances?" Still some distance from the Land of Wano, Ye Chen, with nothing to do, asked the system.
"Activated by special energy," the system replied.
Ye Chen was stunned when he heard this. What the hell was special energy?
And the system didn't elaborate, only saying "special energy." At least give me a general idea.
"What kind of special energy?"
"Similar to Devil Fruits."
This time, the system's answer was quite straightforward: Devil Fruits, how simple. Something like "special energy" was too vague.
Having tasted the sweetness once, Ye Chen was now eager to activate another random exchange. A deal like trading a nest of birds for a dragon, how good was that?
However, Ye Chen also understood that obtaining Slifer the Sky Dragon was pure dumb luck.
But what if it happened again next time?
After all, who knew about luck?
Having resolved the random exchange chances issue, Ye Chen felt much more relaxed. He now had a clear goal for what was to come: collect more Devil Fruits.
However, collecting Devil Fruits relying solely on the Sky Dragon would definitely not be enough. This world was full of hidden masters and endless powerhouses, such as the Yonko, Marine Admirals, and the Five Elders. Relying only on the Sky Dragon would definitely not suffice.
Moreover, with his current small physique, even a small Marine could probably knock him out.
So he still needed to strengthen his own power.
As time continuously flowed, the Sky Dragon's speed suddenly slowed down.
Not long after, the Sky Dragon stopped and turned its head, letting out a few low growls at Ye Chen.
"Are we there?" Ye Chen slowly stood up, looking down.
Below stood a cluster of buildings, and among the many buildings, a towering structure was exceptionally prominent. At the top of the towering structure, a flag fluttered in the wind.
Martial. A large character for "Martial" was displayed on it.
The Land of Wano had arrived.
