The Great Voyage Begins with the Celestial Dragons

After chatting for a few moments, the ship began to sail into the distance under Kizaru's piloting.

"Wow, this speed feels so good!"

To prepare for potential situations, the cab was made rather rudimentary, with no glass on the front and almost entirely open to the elements.

Standing in front of the ship's wheel, Kizaru felt the sea breeze blowing and made strange noises, as if he had awakened some kind of attribute.

Meanwhile, on the forward deck, Luther and his companion, who were raising their glasses to celebrate the new ship's departure, completely ignored Kizaru's strange behavior, clinked glasses, and drank their drinks in one gulp.

"Your Highness, please give this ship a name."

Gion smiled slightly and made a suggestion to Luther.

Luther had put a lot of effort into this ship, and she had witnessed his numerous negotiations with the Ministry of Science.

But judging from these aspects, this ship will accompany them for a long time to come.

"Naming..."

Luther raised an eyebrow; he considered himself quite confident when it came to naming things.

Um...

"Let's call it Don Quixote!"

"Oh, what a fine name! It's simple, easy to understand, and also reflects Your Highness's status!"

Hearing the praise from Kizaru in the distance, Luther smiled.

See? He can get so much praise just by randomly choosing a name. Even someone as picky as Gion could only open his mouth but couldn't say anything.

Sure enough, his naming skills are quite good...

Gion watched as Luther contentedly downed another glass of wine, and poured him another, sighing softly in her heart.

Oh well, as long as he's happy!

Chapter 49 Seafood Supplements

The daily voyage at sea remains monotonous and tedious.

However, compared to the last naval voyage, this one was occasionally more interesting.

"Hey, the Bear Dog Pirates, the whole crew has a bounty of 220 million, and the captain has a bounty of 60 million. They're a big fish."

Looking at the pirate crew that appeared in the distance on the sea, Kizaru revealed a sly expression.

Immediately afterwards, he skillfully steered the ship and charged directly towards the pirate crew.

"Brother Luther, their heads are worth 220 million!"

"I'll give you 1 million."

Luther, sitting on the recliner, said something in an annoyed tone and gave Gion, who was standing beside him, a look.

He had no idea where Kizaru learned all this from.

A high-ranking Marine Admiral actually encouraged a Celestial Dragon to wipe out a pirate crew and then collect the bounty.

However, Luther eventually agreed.

After all, sea voyages can be quite boring, so having some variety is always a good idea.

"Hey, Luther, let's make a bet. Which captain can take this hit this time?" Kizaru said with a grin.

"Then I bet he can't take it. A mere 6000 million pirates, I'll bet on his head."

Luther slowly sat up straight, and smiled as he watched the pirate ship getting closer and closer.

"Hey, I love Luther's straightforward personality!"

Kizaru pushed the Donquixote to its maximum speed and charged straight toward the pirate crew.

It was only then that the Bear-Dog Pirates noticed the ship speeding towards them from afar.

"Boss... Boss, that's a World Government ship!"

On the lookout tower, a burly pirate in a black vest spoke with a trembling voice.

"What are you afraid of? A mere world government? Just dock your ship!"

On the deck, a burly, shirtless man with broad shoulders said fiercely, "I am Nate, the captain of the Bear-Dog Pirates, and the user of the Bear-Bear Fruit - Black Bear Form."

"First Mate..."

The pirate in the black vest looked at the lean, bespectacled man on the other side with a mournful expression. The man was Deluo, the vice-captain of the Bear-Dog Pirates, with a bounty of 5500 million and the Dog-Dog Fruit, Black Dog Form.

DeLore licked his lips, a disdainful look on his face, and said:

"What are you afraid of? Listen to the captain, get close. We've already taken on a naval captain, what are we afraid of from a mere World Government ship?"

"No...it's a woman who's taken to the air and is flying towards us at high speed."

Both Nat and Delos were slightly surprised upon hearing what the pirate in the black vest said.

But before they could think any further, a pink sword aura stretching for hundreds of meters flashed past.

Stab it! ! !

Before the Bear-Dog Pirates could react, the ship was cut in half.

First mate Delow was right in the path of that flying slash and was also cleaved in two, his blood and severed limbs splattered all over the deck.

"The first mate is dead!!"

"Help me!!"

"Run! Run!!!"

"..."

With just one sword strike, the entire pirate crew was thrown into chaos.

On the deck, Nate clutched his left arm, which was covered in blood, at the point where it connected to his body, his face filled with terror.

His left arm had been lost because of the slash.

If he hadn't reacted quickly enough, his fate wouldn't have been any better than DeLorean's.

Gion, flying in the air, was not surprised to see that Nat was still alive.

Her strike was intended to destroy the ship; killing was just a side effect.

Without much hesitation, Gion coldly swung her sword again.

Swish! ! !

The pink slash once again crossed the sea, this time stretching nearly a kilometer under Gion's full power.

The already shattered pirate ship was also dismantled by this attack, leaving only a portion of the wreckage floating in the sea.

As for Nate, who was originally standing on the deck, his body had been reduced to fragments.

"Oh, Gion-chan is still kind-hearted."

On the Don Quixote, Kizaru gazed into the distance, clicking his tongue in amazement.

"Tsk, that's really dishonest. It made me lose another 6000 million."

Luther smiled, but still maintained an indifferent expression, saying:

"Let the marines clean up the battlefield. Let them divide the treasure they find. As for those poor women on the pirate ship, according to Gion's plan, give each of them some Berries, and then find an inhabited island to drop them off."

"Brother Luther is so generous!"

Kizaru sighed and waved his hand, signaling the marines who had come with him to clean up the battlefield.

Clearly, this isn't the first time something like this has happened.

As for the bet between Kizaru and Luther, it wasn't about whether Gion could actually kill the pirate captain.

The question is whether she can ignore the pitiful women on the pirate crew and destroy the entire pirate ship with a single, furious strike.

Given Gion's strength, neither Kizaru nor Luther doubted their ability to accomplish this.

However, Gion surprisingly chose to save people while fighting pirates.

Luther didn't care about this; his bet with Kizaru was just a joke.

He believed that if he gave the order, Gion would carry it out diligently.

Such trivial matters are fine as long as Gion is happy.

Seeing the displeased look in Gion's eyes after her return, Luther simply smiled:

"Didn't you already know all this when you first saw the pirate ship?"

When Sakazuki was with them before, they couldn't see what was inside those pirate ships; the lava would turn the entire pirate crew to ashes.

But this time, no one was specifically tasked with doing that kind of thing when they went out.

Since Huang Yuanba only works and gets paid, he naturally wouldn't get involved in such matters.

So this kind of thing fell to Gion.

Most of the pirate crew members are strong men, with the exception of a few female pirates and some beautiful women who are handcuffed in the basement.

And their fate is often not good.

This is also why Gion has grown even more disgusted with pirates during this period.

There are still some differences between what I've heard and what I've seen with my own eyes many times.

"We should try to manage it if we can. I can't manage the holy land, but I can manage this place."

Gion sighed softly. There were some things she couldn't do, but she would still do what she could.

“Those in the Holy Land might not be beyond our control either. I don’t really like this kind of coercion. Have faith in yourself and me. One day, you’ll be able to look down on that trash and cut their heads off with a single stroke,” Luther said with a slight smile.

He wasn't a good person, though not many, but he did have some principles.

He preferred to use the rules to achieve a win-win outcome rather than these scumbags who plundered.

Even bad people have their bottom line.

Otherwise, Luther feared that one day he might not even be human anymore.
