"That looks interesting, let's go check it out."

Chen Yong'an suddenly suggested that he remembered that the evil scientist Caesar Crow from the former World Government had used kidnapped children to conduct his evil human experiments on Punk Hazard.

This is absolutely intolerable!

Anyway, dealing with him is just a matter of convenience and something I can easily do along the way.

“No, that won’t do,” Hibari said, waving his hand quickly. “That’s a restricted area. Trespassing there is against the law!”

"Do you think I care about the laws set by the World Government?" Chen Yong'an retorted. "Fine, I now order you two, as the captain of the Sharp Blade Squad and a Marine Admiral, to come with me to Punk Hazard to carry out a mission!"

"Huh? Are we going too? What if Dad finds out..."

"Yes, sir!" Peacock gave Chen Yong'an a crisp military salute and accepted the mission.

Seeing that her friends had agreed, Yun Que no longer hesitated, gave Chen Yong'an a proper military salute, and accepted the mission.

When Akainu, who was in New Marineford, heard this news, he was so angry that he crushed the microphone.

Akainu, cigar in mouth, walked to the window, looked at the rolling waves of the sea, and muttered to himself, "Reorganize the Navy, truly end this Great Pirate Era... Mad Justice."

Chapter 508: Adventure in the New World

"Chen Yong'an! Didn't you say you went to the Kingdom of Ten Thousand to annul the engagement? What's this about the marriage alliance with the Dragon Palace Kingdom in the newspapers?!"

Hearing Weiwei's loud questioning early in the morning, even Chen Yong'an couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine, and all sleepiness vanished.

He moved aside the arms and legs pressing down on him, took the Den Den Mushi, and went to the terrace of the stern deck. He replied, "Just think of it as giving the Ryugu Kingdom some protection. When a weak country forms an alliance with a strong country, it's always more reassuring to have some close allies involved, isn't it?"

"So you mean that in the future, all the countries that ally with you will have to marry their princesses to you and form a marriage alliance with you?"

When Weiwei said this, she was gritting her teeth and her face was contorted with rage, and this was simultaneously displayed to Chen Yong'an through the Den Den Mushi.

"It depends on the situation. After all, I'm not that indiscriminate in my choices."

"Isn't that considered being desperate?" Vivi's voice grew louder. "That mermaid princess is over ten meters tall, and she even has a fish tail..."

"Isn't there the Human-Human Fruit?"

Weiwei was stunned for a moment, then sighed and said, "I'm really impressed by you. You actually used compound number five in this kind of situation."

“The Little Mermaid is really important to us, really,” Chen Yong’an said earnestly. “I’m absolutely not lying to you about that.”

"Hmph, you figure it out yourself," Weiwei pouted unhappily, "Anyway, I can't control you."

"Okay, remember to say hello to Robin and Nami for me."

“I’m right here,” Nico Robin’s voice came through the Den Den Mushi. “Are you in the New World now?”

"I just arrived yesterday, and then I ran into Peacock and the others on a mission... How is Alabasta doing now?"

"You want me to give you a detailed report of the situation one by one?" Nico Robin chuckled.

"Forget it, you guys handle it as you see fit. A mature country needs to function on its own without a leader, as long as it doesn't deviate from my principles."

"Well, but I still have to tell you something important. The steam game center you mentioned earlier officially opened for business nationwide yesterday, and the response has been overwhelming. It was packed on the first day, adding over 100,000 users and generating over 1 billion Berries in revenue."

"It's alright, considering it's purely for entertainment. The numbers are about right. The most important thing is to boost the surrounding catering industry... We also need to do a good job of supervision. I don't want people to exploit legal loopholes to profit from it. Any direct or indirect benefit is not allowed."

“Of course I know that gambling of any kind is prohibited,” Nico Robin smiled. “And the issuance of a national currency is also on the agenda. It will completely replace the Berry as the currency circulating in Alabasta by the middle of next month at the latest.”

"Keep it up," Chen Yong'an encouraged, then chatted with Nicole Robin and Vivi for a while before hanging up the phone.

The temporary addition of Peacock and Lark did not bring any additional changes to the life at sea; at most, it simply gave Chen Yong'an two more options in his daily life.

The same applies to sailing in the New World; in terms of danger, it's not much different from the first half of the paradise.

Around 10 a.m., the weather suddenly changed, and it started to rain heavily. Each raindrop was several times larger than the Lexington, and the rain was as big as a small mountain!

“We’ve entered the Mobejamru Sea,” Peacock explained. “Because the climate in this sea is so unpredictable, like a sulking child, it’s also known as the ‘Unhappy’ Sea!”

Lexington looked up at the falling "raindrops" and said, "Just fly over there, hold on tight!"

Under Lexington's control, the ship was more agile than a seagull, employing a variety of complex flight techniques to weave and dodge between raindrops as large as small mountains!

It was countless times more thrilling than riding a roller coaster, with sudden rises and falls, making the girls on the boat scream loudly.

After the ship emerged from the heavy rain, Lexington was exhausted. She let the ship return to the surface and gasped, "I'm so tired, let me catch my breath."

"Thank you for your hard work," Chen Yong'an said, helping Lexington sit on a bench under the mast and massaging her shoulders.

"Wow, that's amazing," Peacock said, her gaze towards Lexington filled with envy. "If only my warship had a ship spirit like that. If it ate a powerful Devil Fruit, it would be a nightmare for pirates."

“Envy is useless,” Chen Yong’an kissed Luxington’s earlobe, “This is unique to me.”

"Tch," the peacock pursed its lips, "There are plenty of ships in this world, your ship isn't the only one with a ship spirit."

"But the only thing that appeared before me, capable of doing anything, was my Lexington."

As he spoke, Chen Yong'an's hand slowly moved down, finally scooping up Lexington's enormous melon and skillfully playing with it.

With a combination of squeezing and pinching, Lexington's reputation soared in no time, and he began to breathe even more rapidly.

"Stop fooling around," Lexington leaned weakly against Chen Yong'an's chest. "I'm very tired right now."

Chen Yong'an didn't stop what he was doing, slowly twirling the strawberry, and said, "If you're tired, it's best to relax and then have a good night's sleep."

Lexington knew she couldn't go against Chen Yong'an's wishes, so she could only let out a soft hum and lie in his arms, letting him do as he pleased.

This naturally emboldened Chen Yong'an, who, after removing the navy blue dress from Luxington's body and without further teasing her, once he was sure she was fully engaged, the ferocious dragon returned to its lair with a gurgling sound.

Comfortable, Lexington raised her neck and twisted her sexy body in Chen Yong'an's arms, searching for a more comfortable position.

Chen Yong'an knew that Lexington was very tired, so he deliberately slowed down his pace and moved so gently so that Lexington could release the accumulated fatigue.

The peacock, who hadn't left, watched the two tenderly entwined together and felt a pang of envy.

After all, Chen Yong'an had always been quite violent towards Kong Que, the kind of violent pounding that could break down the palace walls, but he had never experienced his gentleness.

Lying in Chen Yong'an's arms, enjoying the moment, Lexington seemed to sense Peacock's thoughts. She opened her hazy, intoxicated eyes and beckoned to her.

Peacock involuntarily took a step and walked to Lexington. Finally, Lexington, who had stood up, embraced her and pushed her down onto the bench, the two people with distinctly different skin tones overlapping.

Lexington reached out and lifted Peacock's skirt, parting the exposed, beautiful paradise with her slender fingers, saying, "Come over here~ Let me calm down first, be gentle, don't be so violent~"

“Okay,” Chen Yong’an obeyed Lexington’s wishes, changed the direction of the attack, and gently and slowly filled the peacock’s beautiful spot.

Unlike its previous fierce attacks, this time, with Lexington's help, Peacock was finally able to clearly sense Chen Yong'an's shape.

I felt a sense of satisfaction unlike anything I had experienced before.

Chapter 509: The Red Dragon!

From the air, the entire island appears to be divided in two.

One side was burning fiercely, with waves of heat rolling in, even turning the sky a deep red.

On the other side, everything was covered in white snow, with heavy snow falling, and just looking at it made you feel cold.

The two opposing forces of ice and fire coexist on this island, creating the unique scene we see today.

Punk Hazard, a research base belonging to the World Government and the Navy, was once prosperous, but now it has become an island where ordinary people cannot live and it has been closed off by the Navy.

It is also known as the "Bank Zone".

The sight of the island left Chen Yong'an in awe. He exclaimed, "This is the effect of an admiral using his Devil Fruit powers to the fullest. It's truly spectacular."

"Shall we go up and take a look?" Eve pointed to the lake in the middle of the island. "It looks pretty good there; it should be great for taking pictures."

Chen Yong'an looked at the camera hanging around Eve's neck. On days without fighting, she had become obsessed with the art of photography.

"Didn't they say there was a gas leak here?" the taciturn 2B suddenly said. "Let me and the support unit go ahead and scout ahead. If there's still gas left, that would be troublesome."

“Regardless of whether there is any toxic gas residue, it would be better to wear a gas mask if you are going up,” D.VA suggested. “There are some work gas masks in the workshop, I’ll go get them for you.”

"Shall we make some bento boxes to take with us?" Tifa said. "That way, we can easily grab something to eat if we get hungry."

“You guys go have fun,” Ada Wong said. “I’ll stay here and watch the ship. It’s not good for me to perform in environments that are too cold or too hot.”

With each person contributing a sentence, the tasks for landing and exploring were assigned.

With everything prepared, the Lexington landed on the nearby sea. Mai Shiranui used her ability to manipulate flames to disperse the fire on the sea, allowing the ship to dock at what was once Punk Hazard's naval port.

The island was very hot, but with Mona and Tifa working together, the surrounding moisture and icy mist kept it cool, creating a barrier that protected it from the heat.

It greatly reduces the difficulty of the adventure, making it as easy as a spring outing.

As the group walked along the streets ravaged by flames, Chen Yong'an noticed that Chunli seemed a little distracted. He went over and patted her large drum, asking, "What are you thinking about? Are you thinking that you haven't been of any use?"

“No,” Chun-Li quickly shook her head in denial.

"Don't overthink it," Chen Yong'an comforted her. "They each have their strengths. If you can't find your place, just be a good brick in the wall. Help out wherever you need help. It's okay."

“If we encounter enemies later, I’ll take action,” Chun-Li clenched her fist. “It’ll be a good opportunity to test the results of my training these past few days.”

“That won’t do,” Mary Rose said. “It’s been so long since I’ve fought, Mary’s been itching to get back into the action. How can I let you take over the fighting all by yourself?”

However, since you're a newcomer, Mary can let you have your first enemy so you can test your skills.

"The environment here is so harsh, there shouldn't be any enemies, right?" Hibari said from the side. "It's a place that even pirates wouldn't bother with."

“That’s hard to say,” Mary Rose waved her finger. “It’s precisely because of the harsh environment that it could become a hiding place for some criminals.”

As soon as Mary Rose finished speaking, she heard the auxiliary unit B, who was walking ahead with 2B, shout: "Warning: An unknown giant creature has been detected rapidly approaching ahead. Please remain vigilant."

"They're here!" Mona alerted, "In the sky!"

Everyone looked up and saw a huge figure, more than twenty meters tall, suddenly appear in front of them!

Its body is as fat as a mountain of flesh, covered with red scales, with bat-like wing membranes and a lizard head full of fangs, instantly reminding people of a creature that only exists in legends—the red dragon!

"What an adorable dragon!" Peacock said with ill intent, pulling out her whip. "How about we train it and make it our pet?"

"My God!" Mary Rose exclaimed, her mouth agape in astonishment. "Are there really dragons in this world? Or did they eat a Devil Fruit?"

"I don't know," Mona said, equally surprised as she saw the dragon for the first time. "But one of you would better go up and deal with it; it's preparing to attack us."

As it spoke, the dragon raised its neck, its sulfur-colored chest glowing with the color of a red lotus, and blazing flames gathered in its mouth.

This is a big move brewing!

However, in front of so many powerful figures, the red dragon foreshadowed its fate from the moment it appeared before them.

A kick, imbued with watercolor-like cyan fighting spirit, landed heavily on the red dragon's belly!

The huge, obese body was kicked into the air, its eyes wide with disbelief, and a rich, advanced Armament Haki even emanated from its back!

When the dragon finally landed, it could no longer support its enormous, obese body. It collapsed to the ground, its neck lolling to the side, and it died.

The peacock's pupils contracted at the sight, and she exclaimed, "Where did you recruit this partner from? The power of that kick is terrifying!"

Not only Peacock, but Chun-Li was also shocked by the power of her kick.

This is Chun-Li's all-out attack on a living being after she came into this world and learned to integrate Armament Haki into her fighting spirit!

I thought that since the opponent was a dragon, it would be a very difficult battle.

But he just died like that?

Is this really the legendary dragon?

Or is it just a big, fat lizard with nothing but a pretty face?

“Your attack pierced through the scales and damaged the dragon’s internal organs,” 2B explained to Chun-Li, then drew her one-handed sword, White Contract, and slashed at the dragon’s fat belly from a distance. The shattered internal organs spilled out onto the ground like they had been simmering in a thick soup for a long time.

“You need to take control of your power,” Chen Yong’an said as he came over. “Actually, most of the people here are not as strong as you imagine. Don’t assume that our strength is normal just because you’ve been with us for a while.”

“I know,” Chun-Li said knowingly, “It’s mainly because we lack experience sparring with opponents other than you.”

"Is this dragon meat edible?" Tifa poked the outer shell of the auxiliary machine. "The meat is marbled with fat and lean meat, and it's as translucent as a gemstone. It looks pretty good."

The auxiliary machine scanned the area with its probe and said, "The scan analysis did not find any harmful components. This creature is rich in nutrients, with a protein content five times that of sea kings."

"Who wants to eat roasted dragon meat? Raise your hand to volunteer!"

"Don't eat things of unknown origin," Chen Yong'an advised. "This used to be a naval research base. Who knows if this might be a biological weapon developed by some mad scientist?"

“That possibility cannot be ruled out,” Peacock agreed. “The World Government and the Navy’s science departments are always researching strange things. Who knows if this dragon might be their creation?”

"Let's keep going and take a look ahead."

Chapter 510: The Truth About Punk Hazard

As the group on their island adventure encountered enemies, a thin mist began to drift in and out of the vicinity of the Lexington without warning.

Auxiliary Machine A: "Alert, an enemy has been detected approaching at the 10 o'clock position; Alert, hypnotic gas has been detected in the air."

"Hypnotic gas? Looks like they're up to no good," Ada Wong, who stayed behind to watch the ship, put on a gas mask, leaped and bounded to the lookout tower, and set up her sniper rifle.
