Starting with One Piece, a Multiverse Simulation

Sabaody Archipelago, as the end of the first half of the Grand Line, is also known as the starting point of the New World. Pirates from all over the world gather here before entering the New World.

Therefore, this place was also a huge trading center. Although slave auctions accounted for the majority of the business, it did not mean that there were no other items.

Rare information, famous swords, and even Devil Fruits—if you're lucky enough, you might just encounter them here.

Wood borrowed money from Gion mainly to try his luck and see if he could find anything good there.

"From what I learned from Tina, it seems that the money you owe Smoker has never been paid back."

As for character and reputation... do you truly possess these two qualities?

"Besides, what do you need so much money for? Do you want to be like those scoundrels and buy two beautiful female slaves to take back with you?"

Don't forget we have a mission this time; we don't have time for you to wander around and shop.

The slaves that the Celestial Dragons bought at the slave auction had actually been sitting there for several days. The people in the slave market were worried that the "goods" were too valuable, so they hadn't dared to provide delivery services. That's why the Celestial Dragons eventually took the matter to the Navy.

The Celestial Dragons of Mary Geoise were already impatient with this new batch of slaves. In fact, if Gion had prepared for two more days, Sengoku would have wanted another naval admiral to take over the Celestial Dragons' job.

Chapter 46 Wood and Gion, treated like lambs to the slaughter

"Wood, is this guy a bounty hunter?"

On Sabaody Archipelago Island No. 4, in a sparsely populated area, a fair-skinned, beautiful, long-legged girl was carrying a burly man who was significantly heavier than herself with one hand, and looked at another black-haired boy beside her and asked a question.

The black-haired boy was half-squatting on the ground, holding a stack of wanted posters in his hand, comparing them to the faces of the other unfortunate men on the ground.

If you look closely, you'll find that there are quite a few people lying unconscious on the ground around the man and woman, and most of them are prominent figures in the Sabaody Archipelago.

The Sabaody Archipelago consists of 79 large trees, of which numbers 1 to 29 mainly house human trafficking shops, human auctions, and illegal areas.

30th to 39th: Mainly include soap bubble park, etc.

No. 40 to 49: Mainly tourist areas, specialty shops, etc.

Numbers 50 to 59: mainly shipyards, coating craftsmen, etc.

No. 60 to 69: Mainly include naval garrison, government entrance and exit, etc.

No. 70 to 79: Mainly hotel streets, etc.

Wood and Gion landed in Mangrove Area 7 and headed towards Mangrove Area 1. This entire route was within the illegal area of ​​the Sabaody Archipelago.

Gion was tall and slender. Although she was dressed casually, her beautiful face, enviable figure, and long legs exposed outside her hot pants quickly attracted the attention of some slave traders.

Although both Wood and Gion carried long swords at their waists, their young age made them easy targets in this lawless area.

Both of them were quite good-looking, and because they were both very young, they could fetch a good price in any slave market.

As for the long knives worn by the two men at their waists, these human traffickers simply ignored them.

There's no other reason than that the world is so chaotic these days that even teenagers carry daggers when they go out. They're people who live on the edge of death all the time, so how could they be scared off by two young men carrying long knives?

There are quite a few human traffickers in the Sabaody Archipelago. If you don't act quickly, someone else will beat you to it.

Given that Wood and Gion are so young, they probably couldn't be any strong individuals, which is why these human trafficking gangs made their move.

Then, just a few minutes later, they all collapsed...

"Apart from the guy you have, who's worth 33 million Berries, the rest are worthless."

Upon hearing Gion's question, Wood compared the wanted poster in his hand again and finally realized with considerable frustration that of the more than fifty people who had surrounded them, only one person whose head was of value was in Gion's possession.

Don't ask Wood where he got the bounty posters. Ever since he came ashore, after hearing Gion say that the Navy gets a commission for capturing bounty pirates, he found the latest and most complete list of pirate bounty posters on the island as quickly as possible.

"Most of the human traffickers in the Sabaody Archipelago are underground forces and bounty hunters. Some pirates may also do these things while waiting for their ships to be coated."

"I just didn't expect that such trash would be worth 33 million Berries. The Navy's method of setting bounties is far too hasty."

A pirate worth 33 million Berries, who was considered a figure of some importance in his own seas, was simply tossed aside by Gion like a piece of trash, his expression filled with disdain.

When Gion said those words, the other human traffickers and pirates who hadn't yet had a chance to make a move visibly swallowed hard.

As mentioned before, there are quite a few people doing business in the Sabaody Archipelago, and when good opportunities arise, the industry competition is quite fierce.

Therefore, the number of people who had their eyes on Gion and Wood was far more than the fifty-odd people lying on the ground now; it's just that many newcomers hadn't had time to make a move yet.

These newcomers, who originally also targeted Wood and Gion, suddenly calmed down after witnessing the battle before them.

Sabaody Archipelago is the entrance to the second half of the Grand Line. These pirates who haven't entered the "New World" are at best novice pirates.

Here, a bounty of over 100 million is enough to earn someone the title of "supernova".

For a rookie pirate to have a bounty of over 100 million before even entering the New World is already considered a remarkable figure.

A bounty of 33 million Berries is top-tier in the Sabaody Archipelago, but it still puts him in a significant position.

Yet this powerful figure, who had just led over fifty of his men to attack the two young men in front of him, ended the battle in less than three minutes.

What's even more surprising is that the three-minute ordeal wasn't ended by the two young people, but by the entire pirate crew of over fifty people who were posing as human traffickers.

The pirate captain with a bounty of 33 million Berries was no different from an ordinary nobody. He couldn't even last two rounds against that long-legged beauty!

It was only after witnessing this scene that the other human traffickers hiding around realized that the young man and woman in front of them were not fat sheep at all, but ferocious tigers!

"There seem to be quite a few of these guys' colleagues hiding around. Should we take them all out? Maybe there are some valuable ones among them."

According to the commission Gion mentioned earlier, the Navy would receive about 10% of the bounty on a pirate's head.

The unlucky guy who was just killed by Gion was worth 33 million Berries. Even if we take 10%, that's 3.3 million Berries. If Wood and Gion split it in half, Wood will only get 1.65 million Berries.

Having tasted success, Wood realized that making money this way was too fast. In just a few minutes, he had earned several months' salary, so he immediately set his sights on the other guys hiding in the shadows.

"Don't do anything unnecessary. Don't forget we have other things to do this time. We've already wasted a lot of time on these scumbags."

For Wood and Gion, finding the human traffickers hiding around was too easy. However, just as Wood was about to make a fortune from this, Gion grabbed his collar and dragged him away.

Wood: "Wait a minute, even if we don't take action against the other guys, we should at least send that guy with the 33 million bounty to the Navy to pay back the money!"

Gion: "We don't have the time to do such troublesome things right now."

"And even if we leave him alone, someone will help us get him to the naval branch on the island."

Wood: "Nonsense! If there were 33 million Berries lying on the ground, what idiot wouldn't pick it up? But that money has nothing to do with us!"

"You damn rich woman, let me go! You have no idea how a poor person lives!"

Chapter 47 The Slaves Being Escorted Are Actually Mermaids

As they watched Wood being dragged away by Gion, the other human traffickers hiding nearby breathed a huge sigh of relief.

When they heard that Wood was planning to attack them, his sharp gaze made them hold their breath.

Although they didn't know who Wood and Gion were, they were undoubtedly two formidable figures.

Previously, when Wood had his eyes on them, they didn't even dare to turn around and run away, because years of experience in crawling and rolling told them that if they ran at that moment, they would only die faster!

"Who exactly are those two brats? How come we didn't get a single tip-off about such powerful figures coming to Sabaody Archipelago?"

"Who knows where these two monsters came from, but they probably can't be pirates."

Otherwise, possessing such strength, one would at least be considered a supernova, and it's impossible for them to land in the Sabaody Archipelago without making a sound.

Their attire didn't suggest they were from the navy, and judging from the man's behavior, he seemed more like a bounty hunter.

Watching Wood and Gion depart, the other human traffickers began to discuss among themselves. As local bullies on the island, they also had certain intelligence channels.

However, they were certain that the two young people, a man and a woman, were definitely new faces on the island and not some well-known bounty pirates.

"Whoever they are, they're the kind of people we can't afford to mess with."

"You guys take note of their features, and tell the brothers on the island to keep their eyes peeled and not provoke those two scoundrels again."

A pirate with a bounty of 33 million was easily taken down without the other party even drawing his sword. Regardless of whether those two were pirates or bounty hunters, they were clearly people they couldn't afford to mess with.

"What about that guy on the ground who's worth 33 million Berries? Are we just going to leave him there like that?"

Upon hearing their boss's order, the henchmen of the human trafficking group nodded repeatedly, then looked at the pirate crew lying on the ground and asked how to deal with them.

"You idiot, if money were thrown on the ground, wouldn't you even pick it up?"

Didn't you hear what those two big shots just said? They clearly don't care about a paltry thirty million Berries; they're going to hunt for other bigger prey.

“Then I’ll have people tie these guys up right away and send them to the naval branch on the island in exchange for the bounty.”

The human trafficker thought his clever actions would earn him praise from his boss, but to his surprise, the moment he uttered the words, he was kicked and subjected to a barrage of insults.

"I asked you to deliver someone to the Navy branch... What kind of business are we in? We're not exactly like pirates, being chased and beaten by the Navy, but we're not exactly heroes either."

Do you know what maximizing profits means? How much money could you get for sending these pirates to the Navy? At most 33 million Berries, and that's only if you have to be subservient to them.

"If we use our professional skills to send these pirates to the slave auction, the pirate captain with 33 million can be sold for at least 50 million Berries."

Even ordinary pirates, who are worthless in the Navy, can fetch hundreds of thousands of Berries each on the slave market because of their youth and strength.

"The boss is indeed brilliant!"

"Nonsense, otherwise why would I be the boss and you guys be the underlings? Only those with sharp minds can be the boss."

Soon, the fifty-odd people who attacked Gion and Wood were tied up by these human traffickers.

They probably never imagined that they, who came to capture slaves, would end up becoming slaves themselves.

Being sent to the Navy as a pirate is actually a good fate. If the evil deeds are not too serious, after being imprisoned for another ten or eight years, there may be a chance to see the light of day again.
