The Great Voyage Begins with the Celestial Dragons

Teach sat down on the ground nonchalantly and pointed to Hachi, who was being treated by Marco.

Sanji and the others, however, lingered on Hachi and Nami with complicated expressions.

Hachi and his friends had met once before; they were considered Nami's enemies.

Faced with someone like this, I wonder what choice Nami will make...

“Um… Uncle Dragon.”

Nami couldn't resist in the end and went to Dragon.

"what's up?"

Looking into Nami's eyes, Dragon frowned slightly. It was a look of vengeance, one he had seen far too many of when the Revolutionary Army liberated the Kingdom.

"After you've gathered information about Fishman Island, could you hand that fishman over to me? I want to kill him!"

As Nami spoke, she bowed to Dragon, her tone full of pleading.

Seeing Xiaoba brought back vivid memories of the murder Xiaoba committed in front of her years ago, memories she could never forget.

Can you tell me why?

Dorrag said calmly that he didn't really care about Hachi's problem.

In terms of value, Nami's seafaring ability is far more useful than that of a fish-man.

From an emotional standpoint, Nami is a member of the Straw Hat Pirates, and he has an obligation to stand up for her.

"Here's what happened..."

Seeing that Dragon's attitude had softened, Nami quickly recounted what had happened.

While she was telling her story, Hachi woke up on the other side and was recounting the events that had happened on Fishman Island with a look of fear on his face.

In the world of songs arranged by Uta, Hachi experienced everything from God's perspective, and it was because of this that he was able to completely reconstruct and retell the events.

After listening to Xiao Ba's story, everyone fell silent.

Eight top-tier experts joined forces with Queen Otohime of the Mermaid Kingdom; such a formidable lineup would be more than enough to wipe them out, let alone a mere Mermaid Island.

“Why... if they ambush us, we’ll die, won’t we?” Beckman frowned.

"Fufufufu, isn't the logic simple? He's still the same old him, treating us like impromptu toys."

The veins on Doflamingo's forehead bulged; this familiar scene reminded him of the pain he had endured in Dressrosa.

Back then, he was manipulated by Scarlett in the same way.

Instead of killing him, slowly torture him, treating him as a complete clown.

Upon hearing Doflamingo's explanation, the others nodded slightly in understanding, while also giving him a sympathetic look.

Doflamingo's ordeal in Dressrosa was thoroughly exposed back then. If it weren't for the Five Elders backing him, his reputation would have been completely ruined.

They initially thought Doflamingo was weak, but when he truly stood on the opposite side of Luther, a sense of powerlessness inevitably arose in everyone's hearts.

As things stand, they don't seem to be much better off than Doflamingo.

It seems that every step they take is part of the other's plan, and they can only watch helplessly as the other orchestrates a tragedy for them.

"Well, it's nothing, it's a small matter. We weren't aiming to win from the beginning."

Teach chuckled first, saying that he had never intended to win from the start.

Even if he wins, so what? His ambition has already been shattered. Teach clearly understands that with his talent, it is impossible for him to become the Pirate King. At least, his current strength is already the limit.

"By the way, what should we do with this guy? Dragon, should we hand him over to the girl from your area?"

Teach glanced at Hachi with a malicious look. He didn't care what bad things Hachi had done, but he had at least heard Nami's story, so he had to say something nice about Dragon.

Moreover, if Dorrag were to have a change of heart, he might very well become a villain.

Their ship is also lacking in top-notch navigators.

They will definitely have to travel to the four seas via the calm zone at the last minute, and the role of top navigators will be invaluable.

"Shanks, what do you say?"

Dragon glanced at Shanks, asking for his opinion.

Teach's words undoubtedly meant that Whitebeard had agreed to the matter.

However, Shanks is the leader of the alliance, Fishman Island is a member of the alliance, and Hachi is now the last survivor of Fishman Island. Killing him to silence him is not a good thing.

"I disagree! Isn't Hachiko one of our companions?"

Before Shanks could speak, Luffy suddenly jumped out and said something unexpected.

"Luffy!"

Nami stared at Luffy in disbelief.

She didn't understand why Luffy wanted to stop it, especially since Dragon had already tacitly approved of it.

In the past two years, she has asked herself whether she was an undercover agent for the Donquixote Family or she had ever wronged Luffy.

If it weren't for her acting as the glue that holds the crew together, the Straw Hat Pirates would probably have fallen apart long ago.

Hachi seemed to realize something was wrong and quickly hid behind Luffy, lowering his head as he said:

"I apologize for what happened back then!"

"Luffy is right, Hachi is our comrade, and we have many other fish-men brethren."

Shanks glanced at Dragon, knowing that the other understood what he meant.

Hachi isn't that important, but there are still quite a few fishmen from Fishman Island helping them in the New World; they didn't all die on Fishman Island.

If we kill Xiao Ba now, those fishmen will become a ticking time bomb.

"I see..."

Dorrag nodded slightly, ultimately deciding to prioritize the overall situation.

Nami looked at the group of people in front of her with disappointment, although she knew that in the grand scheme of things, her experience was nothing and would not be taken seriously.

But being rejected like that still leaves a bit of a sore spot...

Chapter 404 Mutation and Conquest

laugh! ! !

Suddenly, an unexpected change occurred.

Hachi was suddenly stabbed through the chest by a knife, and a mouthful of blood sprayed directly onto Luffy.

What are you doing?

Luffy gritted his teeth, hugged Hachi, whose life was slipping away, and questioned the murderer in front of him.

Behind Hachi, Hiyori calmly drew Enma, taking Hachi's life with her.

"If we keep quiet and don't tell anyone, who knows there will be survivors on Fishman Island. Little Nami, do you want to join the Moria Pirates?"

"Hahaha, I agree. Nami is our close partner. Since this fishman has a grudge against Nami, let's kill him. Nami, the Blackbeard Pirates welcome you."

Teach withdrew his hand with some regret. He was only a little slower than Hiyori, otherwise he would have been the one to make the move.

Even though we haven't taken any action yet, stepping forward now might just lead to success.

As for the likes of Dragon and Shanks, he wasn't afraid of them at all, and even looked down on them a little.

How could he not see that these two people were still clinging to some unrealistic fantasy even now?

People who can't see reality will only lose more miserably.

"Furf, don't worry about the other fishmen. Tezog has already infused them with gold dust. They're just a bunch of guys who can be wiped out with a wave of his hand," Doflamingo chimed in, stirring things up as if he didn't care.

After Fishman Island was destroyed, everyone clearly understood that the World Government was about to take action.

No matter how you assess the combat strength of both sides, the allied forces have no hope of winning.

Their only hope of survival lies in taking advantage of the fact that ships are difficult to find on the high seas and trying to avoid the World Government as much as possible.

In such circumstances, the value of a top navigator is undoubtedly maximized.

According to his understanding, Nami possesses a sea chart covering 80% of the world.

If we could possess such a thing, we could at least live a few more years in the future.

Unlike Dragon and Shanks, he had no intention of fighting to the death; he just wanted to live as long as he could.

"you!"

Luffy glared at the others with resentment, and as his anger grew, his Conqueror's Haki began to overflow.

Sensing the intensity of this domineering aura, everyone couldn't help but give him a surprised look.

At least in terms of quantity, we are not much weaker than them.

"Alright, Luffy."

Dragon pressed down on Luffy's straw hat, signaling him to retract his Conqueror's Haki.

Since things have come to this point, and everyone has been killed by Hiyori, there's no point in considering anything else.

The matter was tacitly suppressed by the group, but the incident had indeed occurred and left a rift in everyone's relationship.

At least Shanks and Dragon understood that not everyone is on the same page.

They need to be even more careful in the upcoming final battle.

......

The New World, in an unnamed sea.

Don Quixote's war fortress stretched across the sky, below which were rows of imposing and enormous ships, with the Don Quixote being the smallest among them.

"We have reached the target area. Reiju, launch the War Fortress and prepare to deploy Barrett missiles! Portgas, Yamato, flank..."

Inside the Don Quixote, Robin occupied the command seat in the center, issuing a series of orders with a tense expression.

He was the only one in the command room at that moment; everyone else was standing in the air not far away.

"Wow, this is terrifying! A monster tens of thousands of meters tall. Can we really handle something like this?"
