The Great Voyage Begins with the Celestial Dragons

Gion paused, her gaze sweeping over Mihawk's unconscious body, and calmly said:

“From today onwards, he will no longer hunt down any ordinary marines.”

How did you know that?

Luther looked slightly stunned; he couldn't remember what the two had said.

“Unless he wants to relive today’s humiliation again,” Gion chuckled. “So, His Highness isn’t a true swordsman; this is just an unspoken understanding between swordsmen.”

“Yes, yes, if I’m not a swordsman, then everyone below the rank of swordsman must be a Muggle who uses a sword.” Luther shrugged.

“Hehehe, Your Highness, a true swordsman does not change because of strength. As long as there is an exchange of auras, one can sense it. Mihawk is such a pure swordsman.”

Gion smiled slightly and gave Mihawk a very high evaluation.

Unfortunately, such a person cannot be subdued.

She sensed this from the other person's sword, but did not mention it to Luther.

Luther didn't care about these things. Mihawk would become a Shichibukai in the future, so it wouldn't be difficult for him to mobilize him.

He also knew that, unlike Gion who came from the Navy, the young and ambitious Mihawk would definitely not be his subordinate.

However, Gion left a deep impression on the other party today, and no one can say for sure what will happen in the future.

As Luther watched the small boat carrying Mihawk drift away, a smile appeared on his lips.

Each time a swordsman defeats a swordsman of the same level, his momentum will become more concentrated.

For a swordsman, achieving Conqueror's Haki is simply a matter of pursuing the title of the world's best, and it will come naturally.

Of course, while cultivating this momentum, failure could lead to failure or stagnation.

This is the insight Gion gained from the Red Earl's sword, and it's also the reason why she vowed never to lose again.

Luther, of course, unconditionally trusted Gion.

Perhaps soon, Gion will be able to have a truly evenly matched contest with the Red Earl.

Chapter 51 Olvia's Disgust

After a leisurely 10-day voyage, the Don Quixote finally arrived at Mogok, Gaya Island.

Magic Valley Town is a free zone, a gathering place for a large number of outlaws, and is not under the jurisdiction of the World Government.

The island may appear to be a resort, but in reality, it is a paradise of extravagance, wasteful spending, and violence.

But the once bustling town of Mogu has fallen into a deathly silence for the past month.

As the three figures walked down the street, the pirates and bounty hunters all scurried to the ground like mice before a cat, wishing the three of them couldn't see them.

"His Highness is about to arrive. Anyone who dares to disrespect him will be killed!"

Dark's indifferent gaze swept over the group of pirates, his eyes filled with deep disdain.

With just one glance, he lifted his leg and headed towards the port.

Beside him, Olvia smiled, completely ignoring the pirates kneeling at her feet, and slowly led Robin toward the port.

Even Robin glanced at the pirates on the ground with disgust and tried her best to keep up with her mother.

Three months ago, when Olvia came, this place wasn't like it is now.

The town was still as bustling as ever, with frequent bloodshed, and freedom and evil were everywhere.

Olvia didn't want to cause trouble, just like she had done in Sleeping Town, and focused on investigating the things Luther had instructed her to do.

Unfortunately, she didn't want to cause trouble, but trouble always seemed to find her way in.

Unlike the lunatics in Sleeping Town who provoke the World Government, the pirates here are simply rotten to the core.

With her beauty, it's already a limit for these pirates to endure for two months.

One month ago, a group of pirates stormed into her residence, intending to offend her and Robin.

As a result... the bloodshed in Mogu Town lasted for days and nights.

After that night, Olvia deployed a large number of CP3s to Mogu Town, making the entire island a no-go zone.

Anyone who dares to do anything outrageous will be killed on the spot, and their body thrown into the sea to feed the fish.

Even now, the stench of blood still lingers far from where the body was dumped, attracting a large number of ferocious near-shore kings.

Because of Olvia's bloody suppression, all the pirates on the island were terrified and dared not do anything reckless.

They could only pray that these evil stars would leave quickly, otherwise they would all die sooner or later.

After Darke and his two companions waited at the port for an hour, a white dot appeared in the distance, and soon the Don Quixote came into clear view as it approached.

"What a beautiful ship!" Robin exclaimed.

This was the first time she had ever seen such a unique ship as the Don Quixote. It had no sails, and its hull resembled a sword, exuding a sense of grandeur and technology.

"This is a ship designed by His Highness, named Don Quixote, which is very much in line with His Highness's naming style."

Olvia smiled and added that she knew a little about the ship, so even though she was surprised, she didn't lose her composure.

As for Dark, he remained cold and ruthless, making one wonder if he lacked emotions.

A few minutes later, the boat slowly approached the shore.

"You handled the situation in Magic Valley Town very well. Thank you for your hard work these past few days, Olvia!"

Luther stepped off the ship with a warm smile, first hugging Olvia, then placing Robin on his shoulder and pinching her little cheek.

"It is what I should do, Your Highness!"

Upon hearing Luther's words, Olvia's weariness seemed to lessen. She gently gathered her long white hair and watched Robin and Luther's interaction with a tender look in her eyes.

Seeing how Robin was treated by Luther made her feel that everything she had done was worthwhile.

What were your takeaways from this experience?

Luther took Olvia's hand affectionately and led her into the town of Mogu.

Behind him, Gion and Dark followed silently.

Gion raised an eyebrow slightly, and seeing Olvia's touched expression at being valued, she felt something was off.

Even with her Observation Haki, she couldn't distinguish between truth and falsehood, which suggests that Luther was most likely sincere.

If it was true, then Gion, Luther's bedmate, understood perfectly well what he was thinking.

However, she was actually indifferent to such things. She was the first to arrive and had been able to stay by Luther's side, which was enough for her.

She understood perfectly that, given Olvia's position, she would most likely continue to be sent abroad, unlike her, who had no management skills and only needed to protect Luther.

"Your Highness, I almost ruined your plans. If Dark hadn't arrived in time, I might already be..."

Olvia gave a bitter smile, but Luther once again pulled her into his arms with a gentle laugh:

"Olvia, that's impossible. If anything happens to you, I will make everyone on this island, and their families, pay with their lives!"

Hearing Luther's resolute words and feeling his strong heartbeat, Olvia felt a sudden flutter in her heart.

But in the end, she forced herself to leave Luther's embrace, her face slightly flushed, and Luther did not stop her.

“Tell me your thoughts. I heard from Dark that you ordered CP3 to massacre the entire town of Mogu,” Luther laughed.

He learned about this through Dark, but he knew that Olvia hadn't deliberately kept it from him; she probably just didn't want him to see another side of her.

"Your Highness knows... This was my mistake."

Olvia looked somewhat awkward, but still spoke:

"The pirates here taught me a lesson, making me understand what humanity is, and also what a terrible era the Great Pirate Era created by Roger really was."

"Raping girls in front of their fathers, playing with mothers in front of their children, humiliating wives in front of their husbands, eating children in front of their mothers, stealing the last treasures and food from the old people's homes, forcing children to kill their parents, burning down intact villages, and turning peaceful towns into rivers of blood—this is the most realistic pirate."

Olvia paused, a hint of weariness creeping into her expression:

"I find it hard to imagine that those pirates could laugh as they recounted these deeds, as if they were showing off their achievements and flaunting their freedom."

"The freedom they speak of is far more disgusting than the hierarchy the nobles talk about."

Olvia ultimately offered her opinion in a cold and indifferent manner.

It's hard to imagine that if it weren't for Dark's protection, she would have ended up with the same fate.

Ultimately, it was her past experiences that were too parallel to those of these pirates.

Or perhaps, when she set sail, the so-called Great Pirate Era had not yet begun.

This era is truly unlikable.

“A very profound understanding. What do you intend to do?” Luther asked with a smile.

Olvia hadn't expected that her trip to Magic Valley would change her so much.

Even now, he can read in Olvia's eyes a sense of disgust for the times and a strong desire for power.

Such emotions were something that would never have appeared in Olvia before.

Considering Olvia's position and capabilities, Luther suddenly had a bold idea.

Chapter 52 Happy Valley Project

“Your Highness, I want to conduct an interesting experiment in this Magic Valley Town.”

Walking through the town of Mogu, listening to Olvia speak in a calm tone and utter shocking words, Luther became interested:

"Tell me more about it."

"Promote Mock Town as a paradise for outlaws, where legal killing and plundering are permitted, but at the same time, everything on the island can be bought with Baileys, including the ownership of other people's property."

"The island has five bars, five nightclubs, five casinos, and a deathmatch arena. These are preliminary figures, and expansion can be carried out at any time. In the future, when there are more people, the island can be divided into different zones based on the quality of living and the quality of services provided."

“We run these places and extract money from all the people who come here. I’m curious to see how far these people can go.”

Olvia, her face frosty, revealed her plan.

“Good idea. So how do you stop those inside from going out to plunder?” Luther asked.

He personally has a very positive outlook on this project, believing that the fastest way to make money is definitely through robbing pirates.
