Chapter 1341: Request
Taking out a bucket of fresh water, Su Xiao gulped down about half of it, then poured the remaining half on himself.
Cool fresh water washed away the salty and astringent seawater.
His entire body, thanks to drinking fresh water, began to revive and recover quickly, and he even felt as if he had just been reborn.
With a sigh of relief, he thought about it. The last sequence of events was too dangerous. Kizaru, Garp, and Vice Admiral Tsuru came after him, grabbing him and escorting him behind the Red Line. After reaching the first half of the Grand Line, he was able to escape from the cage and fight underwater with the hero of the Marine Watch, Garp.
When Su Xiao was fighting Garp, his body was already exhausted, so for safety's sake, he asked Bubtni to distract Vice Admiral Tsura and the women of the Marine Patrol.
— Bubtny, stop swimming, the Sea King can eat you at any time.
Bubtney immediately began to rise to the surface, but he was in no particular hurry to get out of the water.
— Where's Dan Dan Musi?
Hearing Su Xiao's question, Bubtney's body stiffened and he immediately sank into the water.
After a few seconds, Su Xiao pulled Bubtny onto the life raft and untied the bag on his back.
Seawater immediately dripped onto the raft.
Su Xiao's heart skipped a beat.
When he was surrounded by the Marines in the villa, he gave Bubtni Dan Dan Musi Doflamingo. Since it was considered a living creature, it couldn't be put in the inventory, so he gave it to Bubtney for safety's sake.
But since he really enjoyed swimming in the sea, he completely forgot about Deng Deng Musi.
When he took the big snail in his hand, all he saw was its very sluggish reaction.
Her eyes only opened for a moment and then closed again.
Su Xiao was surprised that Deng Deng Muxi didn't die. After hesitating for a moment, he took out a lighter and started to toast the soft flesh of this snail.
The already exhausted snail began to squirm and opened its eyes with difficulty. This little creature seemed to have some intelligence, as Bubtney immediately understood what it wanted to say with its gaze, which was: "No need to cook me, I'm still alive, and I'm not full and tasteless».
Su Xiao immediately started shaking this snail. Deng Deng Musi seemed to realize that if it didn't work, it would end up turning into a baked snail.
When he lifted the tube from the back of the snail, he saw the seawater pouring out of it.
*Sh-sh-sh-sh...*
Su Xiao didn't hear anything but a white noise.
— Hey, Byakuya, what's that sound ... " Doflamingo's voice started coming out of Dan Dan Musi's mouth in fragments.
— Do you hear me? Su Xiao asked and waited.
— Yes, I think I can hear it.
When Bubtney heard the vague answer, he signaled Su Xiao to pass the lighter to him.
The snail immediately started working hard when it saw the orange flame.
— Hello? You hear me... Me?..
This time the voice was much clearer.
— I hear you.
— Great, Byakuya, did you manage to escape? Doflamingo asked in disbelief.
— I want to ask you a favor. If you help me, I will create ten Apollons for you completely free of charge.
— What should I do? Doflamingo asked immediately.
— Amu is still on the Dress Rose. Send it to the first half of the Grand Line.
— This...
— Deliver it within five days, and in return I will create twelve Apollos for you.
— OK, where exactly do I need to deliver it?
— Without specifics, just take him to the Sabaodi Archipelago. He'll find me.
— Well.
After hanging up the phone, Su Xiao discussed the matter with Amu.
The little snail was on its guard.
— We're probably not far from the Sabaodi Archipelago, " Su Xiao muttered as he looked at the map and three compasses.
The Sabaody Archipelago was just below the Red Line. Su Xiao escaped from his cage after the warship was free floating for about ten minutes, which meant that he was not far from the Red Line.
And, most importantly, there was a Marine Watch base not far from it.
After determining the direction with the compass, Su Xiao drew a circle on the map. He was currently between the archipelago and one of the Marine Watch bases, and the closest he was to that base.
The first thing Su Xiao had to do was get to the Red Line area and use the red rocks as a reference point, so that he could eventually reach the Sabaodi Archipelago.
— Bubtni, I have a good idea, " Su Xiao said and looked at Bubtni with a smile on his face.
Bubtney immediately shook his head.
Two minutes later, Bubtney was paddling hard, pulling the life raft behind him. Su Xiao was sitting on the raft, holding a compass in one hand and a map in the other.
About half an hour later the Red Line appeared on the horizon.
— Turn right, we're almost there.
— … — Bubtney gritted his teeth and continued swimming forward.
Su Xiao promised him that once they reached the archipelago, he would take him to a restaurant where he could eat whatever he wanted.
Two hours later, Bubtney began to rest, and Su Xiao took his place.
And so, an emerald green island appeared right on the horizon.
This would be the Sabaodi Archipelago.
The Sabaodi Archipelago was different from the other islands. It consisted of special island trees that were intertwined with each other, and thanks to their unique structure, they calmly survived storms, tides, and so on. There were 79 such trees in total and they were known as "Yarukiman Mangroves».
The roots of these trees could be seen both at the bottom of the sea and on the surface, and because of their unique color, from a distance it could seem that an emerald-green island was waiting for travelers ahead.
— Woof — " Bubtney barked as he saw the island in the distance. Now, at last, he would no longer have to drag the raft behind him. First, he was supposed to lead the raft for two hours, after which Su Xiao would do it for two hours, but it just so happened that they arrived on the island earlier than planned.
The Sabaody Archipelago was located near the Red Line. Because of this, the Sky Dragons often visited this island.
This archipelago was too important. Many called it "The Island of Last Chance". Pirates who wanted to enter the New World had to pass through it.
The world Government, of course, was aware of this path. It tried to install its own people here, but there were so many pirates passing through this archipelago that it was simply impossible to control such a flow without installing soldiers.
As a result, the World Government ordered the Marine Watch to establish a base on the archipelago, which caused more than 50,000 Marine soldiers and a huge number of pirates to die over the next six months..
But in the end, this led to the fact that the pirates united and attacked the line of defense of the Marine Watch.
267 days after receiving the order, the Marine Patrol left the Sabaodi Archipelago. Placing an admiral on it on a permanent basis was unrealistic. Sengoku served on it at one time, but almost died of exhaustion. The losses among the Marine Patrol soldiers due to his presence did decrease, but for this Sengok had to sleep less than three hours a day, and all the time out of sleep he either fought pirates or chased pirates.
With the loss of 2 Vice admirals, 5 admirals, and 80,000 soldiers, the Marine Watch, along with the World Government, decided to abandon this island.
The pirates were supposed to have access to the New World.
It was impossible to stop those who wanted to fulfill their dream.
Besides, the pirates who made their way to the archipelago weren't weaklings. All of them were experienced or even elite pirates who managed to go through more than one battle and because of this had some rewards for catching them.
And so, at this point, the Sabaodi archipelago has developed a unique balance. Sea Watch, pirates, people from the World Government, Sky Dragons, SR agents and members of the Revolutionary Army... Anyone could be found on this island, but everyone had to tread very carefully for the sake of maintaining a delicate balance.
