Chapter 69: Admiral Kizaru will never retire
Several days later, the Goa Empire fleet, having safely returned to the Grand Line from the South Blue via the Calm Belt, had arrived at a Red Line port located beneath the Red Line in Paradise, and was waiting in line for the transportation services of the large bubble transport vehicles. The Red Line Port on the other side of the Red Line is generally referred to as the New World Red Line Port.
Within the port, there are large bubble transport vehicles specifically for transporting ships, as well as exclusive bubble transport vehicles for carrying people. There are even fast transport vehicles exclusively for the royal families and nobles of various Allied Nations. Why did Emperor Kael use the World Government's transport channels instead of entering the New World through Fish-Man Island? Because coating at Sabaody Archipelago takes time, and entering the deep sea at 10,000 meters carries risks from ocean currents and Sea Kings. After entering Fish-Man Island, another coating would be required. This would take at least 3 or 4 days.
However, using these bubble transport vehicles, it takes 1 or 2 hours to go up, then cross the Red Line via an exclusive channel, and then descend to the Red Line Port on the other side of the Red Line, all within a single day. Most importantly, it is safe, convenient, and offers comprehensive services. Even Emperor Kael's snail warship could be transported. It must be said that while World Nobles are extremely cruel to the common people, the things that serve them are truly extravagant, providing whatever they desire.
"I never thought I'd one day be able to set foot on the Red Line!" Inside the bubble transport vehicle, Aramaki and Eric could hardly believe it.
"I haven't been to Marijoa either." Kael's eyes flickered. The Goa Empire's application this time was for normal commercial transport channels, and did not include permission to enter Holy Land Marijoa. Therefore, Kael had no opportunity this time to enter Pangea Castle to see the Hall of Authority where the Reverie is held, nor was he qualified to see the magnificent palaces of the World Nobles. He was even less qualified to go to the Empty Throne Room to witness the Empty Throne and the Swords of the Twenty Kings.
However, Kael also did not wish to meet the Five Elders, God's Knights, or World Nobles, to avoid any accidents. Especially Imu, the ruler of the world, Kael was very wary of this millennia-old immortal. Now was not the time to push Him, so it was better not to meet.
"Those World Nobles in Marijoa are not good people; if they take a liking to you, they'll seize you as slaves in an instant." As the bubble transport vehicle reached the transit area at the top of the Red Line, they could only gaze from afar at the magnificent city of world power. Kael and his group boarded a transport vehicle pulled by a large fast-running turtle, quickly rushing towards the other side of the Red Line. There were no incidents along the way, with merchant fleets and Allied Nations' warships from all four seas ahead and behind them, making it a very busy route.
After more than half a day, they traversed the top of the Red Line and arrived on the New World side. Then, they descended to the New World Red Line Port via a large bubble transport vehicle.
"Your Majesty, next time the Reverie is held, could you please take me with you to attend?" Aramaki's eyes were filled with admiration for this city of world power.
"At that time, you can serve as my bodyguard and attend the Reverie with me." Kael saw Aramaki's craving for power; it seemed further education would be necessary in the future.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, I will be loyal to you for my entire life." Aramaki spoke excitedly. He revered the power held by the World Nobles, but he had also heard of some of their evil deeds and knew that World Nobles were difficult to deal with. However, Emperor Kael, the East Blue Overlord, already held power no less than that of an ordinary World Noble. Following Kael, he still had the chance to reach the pinnacle of power.
"Work hard and quickly get promoted to the rank of Duke." Kael spoke indifferently, muttering to himself, fortunately, this time they applied for a commercial channel. Otherwise, if Aramaki, who had just joined, were to be invited by a World Noble, this guy might very well be swayed. However, Aramaki's reputation is not prominent now, and he is not a rare race, so it is highly unlikely that he would attract the attention and importance of the World Nobles. Even the Five Elders would not spare a glance for this kingdom police officer, who is suspected of having the strength of an elite Vice Admiral.
Because Marineford is currently at its strongest, with 3 Logia-type Admirals suppressing the world. There is no shortage of high-level combat power. If it weren't for Fleet Admiral Sengoku's retirement to the sidelines after the Marineford War, Akainu's promotion to Fleet Admiral, and Aokiji's departure from the Marines, which left 2 Admiral positions vacant, the World Government would not have initiated the World Military Draft to recruit these strong individuals of uncertain loyalty and directly promote them to Admiral.
"I will not disappoint Your Majesty." Aramaki's eyes were filled with confidence. This trip to the West Blue was his journey of rise. He must defeat a pirate with a bounty of 500 million or more to first be promoted to the rank of Marquis. And the others admired the beautiful scenery from 10,000 meters in the sky; the fact that they had entered the New World in such a way truly felt magical.
