After a moment, Vladimir slowly released her, saying teasingly, "You're too inexperienced to catch me!"
At this moment, the ropes that had bound him had been released due to the Empress's confused consciousness.
Taking this opportunity, Vladimir ran out of the cabin in a few steps, then with a dragon's roar, he transformed into a pitch-black Sea Dragon, and escaped into the sea.
At the same time, a burst of laughter came.
"Goodbye, Empress, little girl. Your mouth is quite sweet, hahahaha!"
The laughter was quite unrestrained, finally awakening the stunned Empress.
Her cheeks were scarlet red, and she was filled with shame and anger. Then, she covered her lips, grinding her teeth.
"Empress!"
The surrounding female pirates shouted with concern, saying, "Empress, your complexion is not right. Did the Guardian God use poison?"
"The Guardian God is a Sea Dragon, maybe he really has poison. What should we do?"
"Quick, prepare an antidote!"
A group of women suddenly became busy.
The Empress looked at her flustered subordinates, her mood extremely complex. She opened her mouth, but couldn't explain.
"I'm not poisoned!" Her eyes flashed, revealing a firm look, saying, grinding her teeth, "I absolutely can't let him run away! I'll chase him to the ends of the earth, and I'll settle the score with that stupid dragon!"
...
Putting aside the Empress's feelings, Vladimir left the Kuja pirate ship, leisurely cruising towards the New World.
Meeting the Empress in the vast sea was just a small interlude. For him, this kind of thing wasn't worth paying special attention to.
However, the move that the other party had used to lock him up before leaving was quite skillful. Relying on brute force alone, it was basically impossible to break free.
Of course, even without relying on that method of teasing the other party, Vladimir could have directly transformed into Shadow Demon and easily escape, but doing so would inevitably expose problems.
"It seems I have to be careful. Devil Fruit abilities are strange and varied. Some aren't strong in combat, but they excel at being bizarre."
Thinking this, Vladimir suddenly frowned. In his perception, a large ship was cruising towards him from behind.
"They're actually still chasing after me. Do they have that much time?"
Vladimir looked back, and he could already see a bit of the ship's shadow. He immediately felt speechless.
"I should speed up."
Shaking his head, Vladimir plunged into the sea, suddenly unleashing his speed.
Half a day later, Vladimir had arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago, leaving the Kuja Pirates eighteen streets behind.
He wasn't in a hurry to enter the New World, preparing to take a look at this mixed place and see if there was any information about Devil Fruits.
It was now twilight, and the sun was about to sink below the sea.
Vladimir landed in Area 1, transforming into his original form and walking on the island.
As the end of the first half of the Grand Line, the Sabaody Archipelago never lacked people. All that Vladimir saw along the way were pirates.
Suddenly, in a plaza in front, many people were looking up at the sky, murmuring something.
"What's that? A shooting star?"
"Hey hey, it seems to be coming this way!"
"Maybe it's a meteorite. That thing is very valuable. One of the Supreme Grade Swords was forged using extraterrestrial meteorite iron!"
Hearing this, many people revealed greedy looks, all concentrating and gazing at the sky.
Out of curiosity, Vladimir couldn't help but do the same, also looking up.
In the sky within his sight, a shooting star light spot was rapidly falling. Judging from the flames burning from the friction with the atmosphere, the volume of that thing wasn't large. It could even be said to be very small.
"It's not a shooting star. Shooting stars have long tails..."
Vladimir's gaze fixed, barely able to see a trace, saying, "That's... a person?"
By the time he could see clearly, the figure was less than two or three hundred meters away.
With a whoosh, it crashed into the earth.
Boom!!
In an instant, the entire earth shook, and the plaza in front collapsed and cracked.
Many people who didn't have time to dodge were directly shocked to death by the impact.
Smoke and dust rolled, obscuring vision.
Countless people blankly opened their mouths, staring blankly at the point of impact.
In the smoke and dust, a tall figure was slowly walking out.
The person patted the flames on his body, and at the same time, a deep, coarse voice came out.
"As expected... can't die, huh?"
"As expected... can't die, huh?"
In the smoke and dust, the person speaking patted the flames on his body and walked out slowly.
It was indeed a person. From the blurred shadow, everyone could see that. Everyone looked at the deep pit on the ground, and the plaza that had been shattered by the impact, all falling into a stun.
"What a monster?! Falling from such a high place and he's perfectly fine?"
Someone couldn't help but murmur, with a ghost expression.
The person stepped out of the smoke and dust, and everyone could finally see the other person's appearance.
This person was tall and burly, with black hair draped over his shoulders, and a pair of bull horns extending forward and pointing high to the sky on his head.
He had a long beard on his chin, and scale tattoos on his left arm. His upper body was naked, and his lower body was wearing wide pants, with a shimenawa rope tied around his waist.
Whoever looked at him at first glance would think that this person was not easy to provoke. With those explosive muscles, one punch could probably directly smash an entire house into dust.
Suddenly, someone seemed to remember something, their face changing greatly, saying in horror, "F-Four Emperor Kaido!?"
