Chapter 905 Gildarts: The celestial dragons you mentioned...are they the descendants of dragons and humans?
In the world of pirates, trees are very peculiar things.
The Tree of All-Knowing, which once stood in O'Hara, contained a hollow library inside, containing the knowledge of the entire world, but unfortunately it disappeared during the Demon Slaying Order 20 years ago;
The treasure tree Adam is suspected to be located in the giant village Elbaf. It grows extremely tall and straight. The ships built with its branches are very tough. The ship of Pirate King Roger and the Sunny of Luffy and others in the original work are built with branches of Adam.
The roots of the sun tree Eve extend deep into the sea thousands of meters below the surface. The crown of the tree can bring the sunlight from the sea surface to the bottom of the sea intact. The light of Mermaid Island comes from this.
The Valkiman mangroves that make up the entire Sabaody Archipelago are similar to the subordinates of the Sun Tree Eve, and have similar abilities to it. They secrete a special natural resin when breathing. The resin expands due to the air to form bubbles, and these bubbles will disappear after leaving the range of the Valkiman mangroves, thus creating the unique bubble culture of the Sabaody Archipelago.
The Chabaoti Archipelago consists of 79 trees, each of which is numbered by the locals. People build towns and different facilities on them. The numbering order is from the center to the north, and then increases clockwise around the center, corresponding to the No Man's Land, Bubble Park, Tourist Area, Shipyard, Naval Base and Hotel Street.
Buggy and his crew are going to the New World, so they can't go through the Calm Belt. Therefore, they have to come to the Sabaody Archipelago to find a shipbuilder for coating. The place where they land is No. 53, which is the location with the most shipyards on the island.
"I hear you, Gildarts!"
Before landing on the island, Buggy began to warn Gildarts: "Because you have just arrived in this world, you probably don't know that the Sabaody Archipelago is the end point of the first half of the Grand Line and the starting point for the New World. All pirates who want to enter the New World must pass through here. In addition, it takes at least three days to coat the ship, so those pirates will stay here for several days. This makes the Sabaody Archipelago an extremely chaotic and mixed place. Even in the most prosperous area on the island, the safety factor may only be 1 to 2 points..."
Gildarts stroked his chin, his eyes flickering as he smiled faintly: "A pirate from the four seas who has been through the first half of the sea? That sounds quite interesting..."
Oh my god! What's wrong with this guy's eyes? ! ! It's like they say 'I want to cause trouble'! !
Buggy panicked instantly, and waved his hands repeatedly to stop Gildarts's thoughts: "Hey, hey, hey! Don't show me that look! I told you this just to stop you from doing anything rash. You should know that the strength of the people on our ship is not enough to deal with those guys, right?!"
“Okay, okay…don’t worry.” Gildarts smiled nonchalantly, obviously not taking Buggy’s words to heart. “If anything happens to you, I won’t stand idly by.”
"Ah?! Thank you in advance... Why are you talking as if something bad is bound to happen?! Can't we just spend these three days in peace?!"
Ace on the side also echoed: "Bucky is right, Uncle Gildarts! The war in the New World is about to break out, I don't have time to stay here any longer!!"
Buggy remained silent, staring at Ace with his eyes, thinking to himself: "What does the tense situation in the Torrant Sea have to do with your Whitebeard Pirates? As expected, Ace is..."
Just as he was lost in thought, Ace suddenly changed the subject: "But then again, even if we ask the best coating artist to coat the pirate ship, it will take several days. There is no point in rushing. Let's just have fun on this island!"
Buggy thought about it and felt that what Ace said made sense. In addition, he had confidence in Gildarts's ability, so he stopped trying to stop him and continued to instruct him, "You can have fun, but... Ace, you know this, right? The real trouble in the Sabaody Archipelago is not the pirates, but its managers!"
"Manager? Is it a position like mayor? For an island like this where so many heroes gather, who decides the mayor? The navy? They would have a headache if they encountered those pirates, right?"
In Gildarts's opinion, there was no unified kingdom in this world, and the navy sat on something similar to the Magic Council, so they were the first one he thought of.
However, things were much more complicated than he realized.
"The Sabaody Archipelago is close to the Navy Headquarters, and behind the Navy Headquarters is the 'holy land' Marijoa, so from time to time there will be 'celestial dragons' living there who come here. Moreover, the Sabaody Archipelago is originally under the jurisdiction of the 'celestial dragons', and the probability of encountering them is as high as 70%! The force that must not be provoked on this island is them!!"
Hearing an unfamiliar term again, Gildarts looked puzzled: "... Celestial Dragons? What are they? Are they very strong? Could they be the offspring of humans and dragons?"
In Gildarts' mind, he had already imagined two completely different species: a dragon with a human head and a human with a dragon head, and a human with a dragon head and a human with a dragon body.
"If that's the case, then the fighting power should be very strong, right?"
“…That’s not the case!”
"The Celestial Dragons are just ordinary people, and have nothing to do with dragons! Their characteristics are that they wear white clothes and transparent bubble masks on their heads. They think they are superior to others, look down on others, are arrogant, ugly, stupid and incompetent, have extremely bad personalities, and their combat effectiveness is even worse than that of Riki. They are also accompanied by a bunch of subordinates..."
Liki raised his paw to protest: "Roar~ (Why do you compare me with them? ! !)"
Buggy explained the characteristics of the Celestial Dragons in detail, and spoke in a very familiar manner, with an extremely sarcastic tone, which surprised Ace, Gildarts, and all the pirates of Buggy's group present.
Alrita's right hand, which was clenching the mace, exerted a little more strength. "A Celestial Dragon... I have seen one from a distance once before in the East China Sea. The situation was exactly the same as what Buggy said. I can say that his description is very appropriate!"
Ace didn't have a good impression of the Celestial Dragons, because Sabo was 'killed' by them, but at this moment he looked at Buggy with a little more surprise: "Bucky, why are you so familiar with the Celestial Dragons?"
"I've already told you that I, Master Buggy, have seen the world!"
"Why do you say that the Celestial Dragons cannot be provoked?"
Buggy explained in a deep voice: "Because the Celestial Dragons are the 'world nobility'! They call themselves the 'descendants of God' and have great power in this world. The World Government and the entire navy must obey their orders!"
"...Even you look down on them, so it seems that you are not really a good person!"
Gildarts smacked his lips and whispered, "I understand. As long as they don't appear in front of me again, I will try my best to control myself and not provoke them."
Although he has been on Buggy's pirate ship all this time, based on previous newspapers, he has come to understand that this world is not as stable as Ascalante, and the World Government and the Navy are not the Kingdom of Fiore and the Council. They are neither noble nor just!
On the other hand, not all pirates are vicious guys. For example, Whitebeard mentioned by Ace is doing "good deeds" by occupying territories and protecting civilians.
In fact, according to the temperament of "Fairy Tail", they don't care whether the other party is a good person or not. They just don't like fighting. But Gildarts is an adult after all, and he has a lot of experience and knows what to do and what not to do.
From now on, fighting the Celestial Dragons should be a major event that would shock the entire world. If I couldn't help but do it, it might cause trouble to everyone in the guild.
Ace grinned and agreed, "Me too. I'm not in the mood to waste time with those guys right now!"
“It’s good that you know…” Bucky finally breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. However, he was still vaguely uneasy in his heart. His intuition told him that the two people in front of him would definitely cause big trouble!
"No! I have to act with them next time! Otherwise, if they get into trouble and implicate me, it will be terrible! ! "
Buggy's actions were very experienced. He divided his men into two groups. One group went out to buy food reserves and fresh water, and the other group went to the shipyard to find people to coat the ship. He took core members such as Gildarts, Ace and Kabbage and began to travel in the Sabaody Archipelago.
