Sabaody Archipelago, also known as the "Soap Bubble Archipelago".
Giant trees were everywhere, and the sky was full of bubbles bigger than humans.
The most famous was the Yarukiman Mangrove, known as the "World's Largest Mangrove".
All the bubbles originated from it.
Not only that, but because this was a necessary stop on the way to the New World, every day a great number of pirates, merchants, and bounty hunters gathered here.
They moved through the Sabaody Archipelago, coming and going, making the place incredibly prosperous!
"Hancock, you two go report to Marine Headquarters first. My crew and I will be looking around here for the next two days."
Ye Jia disembarked and turned to the Empress.
"Husband, I won't be by your side these two days, so please take good care of yourself."
Couples who had just fallen in love were always reluctant to let go, and the Empress was no exception... But due to the urgent summons from the Marines, she had to head to Marine Headquarters early.
After the Empress left, Ye Jia and the others disembarked, all curiously observing this unique bubble island.
"Wow! Brother Ye, look, the sky is full of bubbles!"
Geyamani innocently looked up at the sky, her expression utterly adorable.
"Let's go, this is Sabaody Archipelago, there's fun everywhere!"
Ye Jia and his group walked inside.
Along the way, they saw bubble cars, bubble Ferris wheels, houses built on bubbles, and various equipment utilizing bubbles... The entire city was built upon bubble culture.
Not only Geyamani, but even Si Qingluo, who was seeing such a wondrous sight for the first time, became childish, playing with the bubbles and frolicking by the roadside.
"Hmm?"
Soon, Ye Jia made an incredible discovery.
Not far from Ye Jia and the others, several unusually distinctive figures appeared.
The aura emanating from these people alone was extraordinarily unique.
"Supernovas..."
Ye Jia observed them with interest.
"Magician" Basil Hawkins.
"Gangster" Capone Bege.
"Red Flag" X Drake.
"Mad Monk" Urouge.
"Glutton" Jewelry Bonney.
"Sea Roar" Scratchmen Apoo.
Six of the eleven Supernovas were gathered here.
"A World Noble is coming!"
"A World Noble!"
"Quick, kneel!"
Suddenly, the residents of Sabaody Archipelago cried out in alarm, and people on both sides of the street dropped to their knees.
"World Nobles?"
Urouge, carrying a large, thick pillar-like object, looked at the World Nobles helplessly and said, "They're parading through an illegal zone so brazenly, it's really too much... We can only kneel for them to pass."
On the other side, Ye Jia also saw them.
"World Nobles... they really are everywhere."
Across the street, a guy with a transparent bubble on his head, wearing typical World Noble attire, looking ugly and despicable, was riding on the back of a slave. Behind him followed a group of women whose necks were bound with chains, swaggering towards them.
The World Noble, Saint Charlos.
How could Ye Jia not recognize this guy?
A typical scumbag among the World Nobles, a guy that people would hate so much they'd want to skin and pull out his tendons.
Later, at the auction, he was punched by a masked Luffy, which led to a long series of events and Kizaru's arrival...
"Damn World Noble..."
Ye Jia turned his head and saw Qiuli's face filled with rage, her eyes dark, her killing intent flickering. Her hands rested on the sword at her waist, a posture as if she would draw her sword at any moment and cut the World Noble in half.
"Qiuli, do you want to kill the World Noble? Now's a good chance."
Ye Jia's mouth curved into a smirk.
Ever since the incident with Saint Rosward last time, he hadn't had a good impression of the World Nobles.
Donquixote Doflamingo was one, Saint Rosward was one, and the Saint Charlos in front of him was also one!
Scum indeed shared similarities. The necessity of the World Nobles' existence in this world was almost zero!
"No need, you just became a Seven Warlord of the Sea, and we're about to participate in the Battle of Marineford. Offending a World Noble now would only add trouble... Besides, I don't want to rely on you to help me get revenge. I want to become stronger and personally defeat the World Nobles who harmed my parents!"
Qiuli said through gritted teeth.
"That's right... We still have to participate in the Battle of Marineford. It seems we'll have to let him be arrogant for a little longer."
Ye Jia nodded.
The Battle of Marineford was about to begin. If they acted now, they would be stripped of their Seven Warlord of the Sea status, which would be a huge loss.
Dealing with Donquixote Doflamingo and Blackbeard, the Marines wouldn't bother them, but if they killed a World Noble, the Marines would definitely spare no effort to hunt them down... Now was not the time to show their cards.
"Si Qingluo, Geyamani, come back!"
Ye Jia waved, signaling for Si Qingluo and Geyamani, who were playing around in front, to return.
Without his reminder, Si Qingluo and Geyamani had already heard the residents shouting the World Nobles' name and were frantically running towards them.
What kind of people were the World Nobles? They had heard too many rumors along the way. They were the world's nobles, and also the world's biggest trash. Their only option upon seeing them was to quickly retreat and leave!
Bang!
Suddenly, a gunshot rang out.
A bullet directly hit Geyamani's thigh. Geyamani cried out in pain and fell to the ground.
Not far behind Geyamani, Saint Charlos, who was riding on his slave, put away his smoking pistol and said displeasedly, "You little brat, didn't I tell you to stop? How dare you ignore my etiquette... Don't think that just because I took a liking to you, you can do whatever you want!"
"Little Mani!"
"Damn it!"
"That scum!"
Si Qingluo, Qiuli, and Kaltz's faces changed dramatically, and they rushed towards Geyamani.
"Waaahhh..."
Seeing Geyamani's thigh covered in fresh blood, she cried hysterically from the pain.
"Another unlucky one."
Capone Bege said coldly, Take his cigar.
"It's even more chaotic than the rumors..."
Urouge shook his head.
"Hahaha..."
At this moment, a loud laugh came, and everyone looked over, surprised to see it was Ye Jia.
