Inside the Palace of the Land of Warriors.

"Lord Takeda, Lord Takeda, the Celestial Tribute fleet is surrounded!" A guard rushed into the palace, speaking to a man in the main hall, seemingly in his thirties.

"What?! The Celestial Tribute fleet is surrounded??" The face of Takeda, the King of the Land of Warriors, instantly changed drastically. If anything went wrong with the Celestial Tribute in their territory, the Celestial Dragons would definitely pursue accountability. By then, he would also be in big trouble.

Takeda thought for a moment and asked the guard, "How many people are surrounding the Celestial Tribute?"

"Just one person." The guard replied.

"Just one person, that's easy then. Assemble the army." Takeda immediately felt much more relieved when he heard there was only one person. Takeda immediately ordered his men to assemble the army and head to the dock.

About half an hour later, elite soldiers from the capital were assembled, approximately two thousand of them. Looking at the two thousand men, Takeda was filled with valor and immediately ordered, "Turn around and go to the dock, save the Celestial Tribute." With a single command, the two-thousand-strong army marched majestically towards the dock.

..........

"Sir, these are three Devil Fruits and the three little girls from the Kuja Pirates." The thin man said cautiously to Ye Chen, sweating profusely. He was terrified that Ye Chen would be displeased and slap him to death.

"Little Sky, let them come up." Ye Chen said to Sky Dragon. Little Sky let out a low growl, slowly lowering a claw.

The three Hancock sisters huddled together, their black eyes looking at Ye Chen and Sky Dragon beneath him with some fear. The thin man walked over and said with a smile to the three Hancock sisters, "This Lord is taking you back." The three Hancock sisters, upon seeing the thin man approach, almost instinctively dodged. A hint of embarrassment flashed across the thin man's face.

Ye Chen immediately knew that the three Hancock sisters had suffered greatly on the Celestial Tribute ship. Seeing this, Ye Chen softly said, "Granny Nyon asked me to take you home. Come on up." The three Hancock sisters' lifeless eyes immediately brightened. Hancock hesitated for a moment, then led her two younger sisters onto Sky Dragon's claw. She could see that this menacing giant beast was the young man's mount.

"Little Sky, bring them up." Sky Dragon let out a low growl, placing the three Hancock sisters and the box containing the Devil Fruits beside Ye Chen.

"Come here." Ye Chen beckoned to the three Hancock sisters. Hancock, seeing this, walked over and sat down beside Ye Chen. Ye Chen gently stroked Hancock's hair and softly said, "I'll take you home soon."

"Mm." Feeling the touch on her hair, Hancock's face flushed. It seemed that the young Hancock was completely unlike her cold and beautiful adult self. But she's cute and petite; that's not bad either, Ye Chen secretly thought.

The thin man secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the three Hancock sisters delivered to Ye Chen. He rubbed his hands together and said to Ye Chen, "Sir, you've found the people, and you've taken the items. And we still need to transport our goods. Can you please have your mount move away a bit?" Sky Dragon's presence over the Celestial Tribute ship, with its dragon's might, kept the workers below from moving the cargo. Moreover, as long as Ye Chen didn't leave, he felt uneasy.

Ye Chen narrowed his eyes. "No rush. We still have things to discuss."

"Still something?" The thin man's face was bitter, and a bad premonition rose in his heart. "What else is there? We will fully cooperate."

"Quite sensible." Ye Chen muttered to himself. He had originally wanted the Celestial Tribute people to refuse so he could get angry and directly plunder their treasures.

"Cough, cough, cough." Ye Chen cleared his throat and softly said, "You captured my people, and then made me fly all this way. Emotional distress, fuel costs, and my precious time, all total one billion Berries. Hand it over now."

"Otherwise, all of you will join that person over there." Ye Chen said fiercely.

"One billion!!!!!" The thin man gasped. Although the treasures, including the Devil Fruits, were worth one billion Berries, if he just handed them over like this, the Celestial Dragons would definitely not let them off.

"Sir, that amount is a bit too much." The thin man said with a bitter smile.

"Little Sky."

"Roar, roar, roar." Sky Dragon roared loudly, and instantly a deafening sound erupted. As Sky Dragon's roar sounded, an orange, lightning-wrapped orb condensed at Sky Dragon's mouth. Seeing this, the thin man's face changed drastically. He said hoarsely, "This is the Celestial Dragons' fleet! Don't push your luck too far!"

"Pushing my luck? What if I bully you? Prepare one billion Berries for me, or all of you will be buried." Ye Chen's face was filled with coldness. Are you kidding? You think I'll just leave with three Devil Fruits after going through all this trouble flying from Amazon Lily? It wasn't in Ye Chen's character to not make these people bleed. And what were Celestial Dragons anyway? The Celestial Dragons' name might work on others, but not on him, Ye Chen.

"How dare a thief offend the Celestial Dragons' dignity! Soldiers, kill him!" Just as the two sides were in a standoff, Takeda suddenly appeared with his army. Ye Chen smiled when he saw Takeda. But the thin man, upon seeing Takeda, felt no joy; instead, he wanted to kill him.
