Chapter 75 Reunion with Rayleigh

After a long voyage of more than ten days, Lin Yi and his companions finally arrived at their destination – the Sabaody Archipelago.

When they looked at it from afar, the sight before them left them in awe. The Sabaody Archipelago is not an island in the traditional sense, but a unique landscape composed of 79 enormous mangrove trees. These mangroves soar into the clouds, their roots extending from the seawater like giant tentacles, exposed to the air, creating a distinctive archipelago landscape.

These mangroves are not only enormous in scale, but their roots also secrete a special natural resin through respiration. This resin expands rapidly upon contact with air, forming countless bubbles of varying sizes. These bubbles float lightly in the air, adding a dreamlike quality to the entire Sabaody Archipelago and becoming its iconic feature.

"It's been so long since I've been here. I really miss it," Tom said, standing at the bow of the boat, taking a deep breath in the sea breeze.

Hearing Tom's words, Kerry turned around curiously and asked, "Uncle Tom, have you been here before?"

Tom smiled and nodded, replying, "Yes, I learned a trade here when I was young."

A hint of surprise flashed in Kerry's eyes as he pressed on, "Then you must be very familiar with this place, sir?"

Tom waved his hand and laughed, saying, "Haha, it's been many years since I've been here. A lot has changed here, so I don't know the current situation in Sabaody Archipelago."

"Brother Lin Yi, where do we dock?" Felina asked, looking at the vast Sabaody Archipelago.

Lin Yi smiled slightly and said, "Let's go to area 13."

"Oh?" Felina asked, puzzled. "Is there some special reason for this?"

Lin Yi smiled and explained, "Haha, I have a friend who lives there." Thinking of that friend, a warm feeling welled up in his heart, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Seeing Lin Yi smiling so happily, everyone became even more curious about this friend he was talking about, and so they all asked, "Who is it?"

Lin Yi smiled and briefly recounted his experience of rescuing slaves with Tiger in Mary Geoise, focusing on Rayleigh being tricked, which made everyone burst into laughter.

Soon, under Dote's control, the Angel Judgment came to a steady stop in area 13 of the Sabaody Archipelago.

But as soon as their ship stopped, they were surrounded by a group of fierce-looking pirates.

"Haha, I deserve to be rich today! I just arrived and I've already run into such a fat sheep!" a burly man wearing a pirate hat and holding a long sword shouted excitedly.

"Haha, boss, I saw some really hot women up there. You'd better let us have some fun later," a lewd-looking man shouted.

"Get lost, third brother! Such a top-quality woman should be sold off. With money, you won't have to worry about not being able to play with women," another scarred man shouted.

"Damn it, you two shut up. Don't forget where you are. Hurry up, we'll leave as soon as we're done." The leader glared at the two men and said fiercely.

The two of them immediately fell silent.

Seeing this, Lin Yi and his companions on the ship naturally understood what had happened. Before Lin Yi could even speak, Felina and the other girls, who had just overheard the pirates' foul language, jumped off the ship with fierce expressions and engaged in a fierce battle with the pirates.

In just a few minutes, the dozens of pirates were slaughtered by Philina and her group, leaving no survivors. Their blood stained the seawater, and the entire area was filled with a strong stench of blood.

The bloody scene caused many onlookers to gasp in horror, secretly marveling, "This is too brutal!"

In the shadows, a middle-aged man dressed in splendid attire whispered to the people behind him, "Go tell the men below to keep their eyes open and not to provoke these people."

"Yes, Sixth Master." A voice responded from behind the man, and then the man hurriedly left.

After his men left, the man known as Sixth Master looked at the scene before him and muttered to himself, "Venerable Kong, Lin Yi, is indeed worthy of his reputation. He is truly awe-inspiring."

After Felina and the others dealt with the pirates, Lin Yi and his group came over. Seeing that they were still angry, Lin Yi laughed and said, "You've already killed them, so let it go."

"Hmph, seeing these pirates makes me sick, ugh, trash," Felina said bitterly.

"Exactly! These people dare to be so brazen; they must be repeat offenders. Who knows how many people have fallen victim to their crimes?" Chiyo said angrily.

"Alright, alright, let's not let this disgusting stuff ruin our mood. Let's go, I'll treat you to dinner," Lin Yi said with a smile.

After grumbling a few more times, the girls left with Lin Yi. Simon stayed behind on the ship again, while Tom, being older and disliking crowds, didn't go with them. As for Bai Ze, it was taken off the ship by Da Pan.

After having a nice lunch at a restaurant that looked decent, Lin Yi used his senses to locate Rayleigh.

At the entrance of the "Xia Qi's Bar" bar, Da Pan and his friends looked at each other in disbelief. Goodness, what a name they came up with.

Lin Yi pushed open the bar door, and the noise inside immediately reached everyone's ears.

"I didn't expect that what looks like a small exterior would be so lively inside," Lin Yi said with a smile.

He then went straight to the bar counter and patted a man with curly hair on the back.

"Holy crap, who is it?" The man jumped up immediately, seemingly quite frightened by Lin Yi's sudden outburst.

"What, Brother Rayleigh, don't you recognize me anymore?" Lin Yi laughed as he looked at Rayleigh, who was jumping up and down.

"Holy crap, it's you, kid. When did you get here?" Rayleigh said in shock. With his strength, Lin Yi was able to silently appear behind him and pat him on the back. That was terrifying. If it were an enemy, oh my god, I didn't even want to think about it.

"Haha, I've been here for ages. Brother Rayleigh, you're not very alert, are you?" Lin Yi teased with a laugh.

"Bullshit! My virility is as good as ever! You must be up to something!" Rayleigh retorted, his face flushed red. How could a man say he couldn't do it?

"Haha, long time no see, Brother Rayleigh." Lin Yi chuckled and hugged the handsome old man.

"Long time no see, but I've been keeping up with your news. 60 billion Berries, that's impressive," Rayleigh said with a smile.

"Haha, it's just an empty reputation, nothing to mention, nothing to mention at all," Lin Yi said modestly, but the smile in his eyes made people want to punch him.

"Don't say so much yet. Do you still have that wine? Ever since I drank your wine, other wines have tasted bland. You have to make it up to me." Lei Li grabbed Lin Yi's arm and said anxiously.

Just as Lin Yi was about to answer, a middle-aged woman with short hair slammed her glass down on the bar and said with a smile, "Rayleigh, are you saying my drink has no flavor?"

Rayleigh swallowed hard. Good heavens, he had almost forgotten about this woman. He quickly explained, "No, I meant other wines, not yours. If your wine wasn't flavorful, would I come here every day?"

"Hmph, you're smart to know what's good for you." The woman rolled her eyes at Rayleigh, then smiled at Lin Yi and said, "Hello, young man, my name is Xia Qi, and I'm Rayleigh's friend."

"Hello, Sister Qi. My name is Lin Yi. I'm a close friend of Brother Lei Li, despite our age difference," Lin Yi said with a very polite smile.

Lin Yi then introduced his companions and Rayleigh to each other.

After everyone got to know each other, Lin Yi pulled Rayleigh aside and said, "Brother Rayleigh, besides visiting you, I have another favor to ask of you."

"Oh? Is there anything else you need this old man's help with?" Rayleigh asked curiously.

"The slave traders behind the Sabaody Archipelago."

Chapter 76 The Slave Trade in the Sabaody Archipelago

Back then, Lin Yi had just embarked on his sea voyage when he encountered a slave trader named Xiong Li. In a fierce battle, Lin Yi successfully killed Xiong Li. However, just before his death, Xiong Li shouted that he was Lady Shirley's subordinate, attempting to use this to threaten Lin Yi into letting him go.

Lin Yi was certainly not afraid of a mere slave trader, but he was quite willing to kill a slave trader like Madam Shirley.

So Lin Yi traveled and adventured, while simultaneously conducting investigations across the land, inquiring about Lady Shirley. However, despite his best efforts, he was unable to obtain any valuable clues.

Time flew by, and just as he was preparing to leave the Four Seas, Lin Yi and his companions arrived at the island where Kerry was located. There, they fought against a group of heinous pirates, thus exposing the largest slave trading group in the Four Seas.

So after inviting Kerry aboard, they launched a campaign to wipe out the slave traders, and after the battle, they heard Lady Shirley's name again from the slave trader Gugozi.

It turned out that after learning that Lin Yi was looking for her, Lady Shirley decisively abandoned her slave business in the Four Seas and went to join her sister, Lady Kelly, in the Sabaody Archipelago.

Upon learning this news, Lin Yi also went to the Sabaody Archipelago alone to search for Mrs. Shirley's whereabouts, but to no avail, so the matter was eventually dropped.

Upon returning to the Sabaody Archipelago, Lin Yi wondered if he could find this heinous criminal.

Therefore, he thought of someone—Rayleigh. This guy Rayleigh often sold himself into slavery because he was short of money, so he should know a lot about slave traders.

So Lin Yi went to Rayleigh's location, hoping to get some clues about Mrs. Shirley from him.

“Slave traders? What do you want with these people?” Reilly asked, frowning.

"Haha, Brother Rayleigh, what else would I want from them? Of course, I want to take them out," Lin Yi laughed.

Hearing Lin Yi's audacious remarks, Lei Li gave a wry smile. This guy's audacity is growing; no wonder he's worth 60 billion.

"The Celestial Dragons are behind these people, so you'd better not provoke them," Rayleigh advised.

"Haha, Brother Rayleigh, don't worry, I don't even consider those Celestial Dragons a threat," Lin Yi said nonchalantly.

Rayleigh slowly shook his head, his brows furrowed, his tone somewhat serious: "I know your strength is indeed formidable, that's undeniable. However, this situation is quite different from the past. Those Celestial Dragons you killed before, while they held some status, were ultimately just individuals. Their deaths wouldn't have a significant impact on the Celestial Dragons as a whole."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "However, the slave trade in the Sabaody Archipelago is in the collective interest of the Celestial Dragons. The interests involved are intricate and complex, and a single move could have far-reaching consequences. If you act rashly, the World Government will definitely not stand idly by; they will certainly launch a frenzied retaliation against you and your companions, regardless of the consequences."

Lin Yi listened quietly to Rayleigh's words, knowing that Rayleigh meant well. However, Rayleigh seemed to have underestimated their true strength. Possessing such an overpowered ability as the Space-Space Fruit, even if the World Government were to launch a full-scale attack, it would likely pose little real threat to them.

"Brother Rayleigh, I understand your concerns, but please rest assured, I am very confident about this." Lin Yi's lips curled up slightly, revealing a confident smile.

Seeing this, Rayleigh sighed helplessly. He knew very well that once Lin Yi decided to do something, it was difficult for him to be swayed by the opinions of others. He could only tell Lin Yi what he knew, hoping it would be helpful to him.

"There are many organizations involved in the slave trade in the Sabaody Archipelago, the main ones being the Human Auction House and two underground trading markets. They are all backed by the Celestial Dragons. In addition, there are 12 large pirate crews engaged in slave capture, as well as numerous gangs of all sizes. These people have been active in areas 1 to 29 of the Sabaody Archipelago. With your strength, it would be easy to deal with them, but the consequences would be very serious," Rayleigh finally advised.

"It's alright, it's alright. Just tell me their information. Those guys from the World Government can't do anything to us, and neither can the Navy," Lin Yi said confidently.

Seeing Lin Yi's resolute attitude, Rayleigh explained the specific details of each faction. The Human Auction House was located in Area 15, and the person in charge was a man named Quili, who was very strong, with the strength of a Marine Vice Admiral. The area was heavily guarded, and the Marines often provided covert protection.

The two underground trading markets are located in areas 3 and 22 respectively, and are managed by the Celestial Dragons with the assistance of gang forces. Their leaders are Madam Kelly and a man called Sixth Master. These two are not very strong, but they are very cunning. They control most of the underground forces in the Sabaody Archipelago and have several very capable fighters under their command.

12个海贼团主要是为以上三个势力抓捕优质奴隶，他们的驻地主要在6号8号9号17号四个区域。

Finally, Rayleigh told Lin Yi some news: the Human Auction House would be holding an auction tomorrow, and some important figures would be there. As for who these important figures were, Rayleigh didn't know.

"What do you plan to do?" Rayleigh asked, taking a sip of the Moutai that Lin Yi had taken out.

"Hehe, Brother Rayleigh, just wait and see the show," Lin Yi laughed, without telling him about his own plans.

After chatting with Lei Li about other things, Lin Yi smiled and said goodbye, leaving him three whole cases of Moutai liquor as a gift. Then, he left the "Shaqi's Rip-off Bar" with Da Pan and the other companions.

However, their every move did not escape the eyes of several groups of people who had been secretly monitoring their movements.

"Big brother, should we take care of these guys?" Da Pan asked Lin Yi with a displeased expression, feeling extremely annoyed at being monitored.

Lin Yi raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a disdainful smile, and said softly, "No need. These people are just minor characters. There's no need for us to take action. Taking action now would only alert them."

Although Lin Yi appeared outwardly indifferent, a hint of murderous intent flashed deep within his eyes. He would make these scum pay the price sooner or later.
