Chapter 217: Arrival at the Sabaody Archipelago
"Mhm."
The power of this electromagnetic rifle was indeed pretty good. Even if he were hit by it, it would still hurt for a bit. Against opponents below vice-admiral level, it had tremendous effectiveness.
Letting Camon and the others fire off all five shots wasn't pointless either. After all, they were basically all close-combat fighters.
Gurgle gurgle…
At this moment, his Den Den Mushi rang.
Jiang Qize glanced at it and chose to answer.
The Den Den Mushi slowly changed shape, turning into a familiar appearance.
The corner of his mouth lifted.
"Long time no see, Ze!" Crocodile's arrogant voice sounded.
"Crocodile, it really has been a long time. Looks like you're quite confident in your strength now."
Jiang Qize said with a smiling squint.
"I should be a bit stronger than you," Crocodile said with a hint of pride.
"Then we can try it sometime. How about moving that appointment up?"
"Wait until you get through this matter first."
"You know about it?"
A flash of surprise passed through Jiang Qize's eyes at the unexpected response.
"Baroque Works isn't as useless as you think," Crocodile said as he took a drag of his cigar, the corner of his mouth curling slightly.
"Forget it. Your strength is too weak—you won't be able to help much anyway," Jiang Qize shook his head.
"Don't look down on people. Even though you now have a pirate crew worth tens of billions, I won't be far behind. Just wait."
After saying that, Crocodile hung up.
Jiang Qize raised an eyebrow and smiled as he shook his head.
...
The next day.
Today's weather wasn't very good. Dark clouds stretched endlessly across the sky, and the wind was stronger than usual.
On this boundless sea, an island formed by multiple sky-piercing giant trees stood there. Their enormous canopies spread across the heavens, covering an area of who knew how many tens of thousands of meters.
Colorful bubbles emerged one after another from the tree roots, floating upward into the air. The entire island was filled with beautiful bubbles.
Even without sunlight, the whole island radiated dazzling, iridescent light.
This was the Sabaody Archipelago, also known as the Bubble Archipelago.
Marine Headquarters was located not far from the Sabaody Archipelago.
"So beautiful…"
When they saw the Sabaody Archipelago, Buck Aisha and the others were all stunned, each of them staring wide-eyed at the towering trees.
It was also Jiang Qize's first time seeing such a spectacle, and his heart was deeply shaken. An island formed entirely by trees—how astonishing was that?
If this were photographed and uploaded online, Earth's netizens would probably go crazy.
"Look, isn't that the Dragon Flame Pirates?"
"It really is! The Dragon Flame Pirates are here—they're here…"
"My god, is that the Dragon Flame Pirates' ship? It's way too imposing, isn't it?"
"I heard the ship is made entirely of steel. I really don't know how it can even sail on the sea."
"I want to join them…"
On the Sabaody Archipelago, pirates and residents alike gradually gathered, standing along the shore and marveling at the Dragon Flame Pirates, letting out exclamations of astonishment one after another.
Before long, the Dragon Flame Pirates docked.
This was Island No. 1 of the Sabaody Archipelago, mainly the location of the human auction house, and also one of the islands along the edge.
Bang!
The Dragon Flame docked.
Immediately after, Jiang Qize and the others disemBuckd one by one, with CP9 members following behind them.
"Ah… it's the Summoner…"
"So handsome… I can't believe I'm actually…"
"Tch, Battle Demon Wyper is the handsome one. Look at those tattoos on his face—and that skin tone!"
"Nonsense. Devourer is obviously the most domineering, even if he's a bit short."
"Emperor Crocodile wins instantly, okay? Just look at that build and how vicious he looks!"
Some Dragon Flame Pirates fans in the surroundings began discussing excitedly, their eyes burning with fanaticism as they looked at them. Most of these fans were pirates, with only a small portion being ordinary civilians.
