The Chapter get Retranslated
"Finally here, the Land of Warlords."
Ye Chen looked at the flag fluttering ahead and sighed. Without the Sky Dragon, it would have been impossible to travel from Amazon Lily to the Land of Warlords in half a day.
An ordinary pirate ship would take at least half a month to get from Amazon Lily to the Land of Warlords, and the same applied to Marine warships.
Navigating the seas required considering numerous factors like storms and whirlpools, but the Sky Dragon had no such concerns.
"Xiao Tian, head to the dock."
Xiao Tian was the name Ye Chen gave it; the Sky Dragon's name was too long, and Ye Chen found it troublesome, so he just picked a random name.
And the Sky Dragon seemed quite pleased with this name.
"Roar," the Sky Dragon growled, turning and flying towards the dock.
Although the Land of Warlords was called a country, it was actually just a small island, not much different from Amazon Lily, except that Amazon Lily was stronger than the Land of Warlords.
Before long, the Sky Dragon slowly descended from the sky, arriving at the dock of the Land of Warlords.
The dock of the Land of Warlords was a straight line, with rows of sea vessels docked. At a glance, there were only about a dozen ships, most of which were merchant ships.
Among the many ships, a few were extremely conspicuous, several times larger than ordinary ships, and the flags waving on these massive vessels were even more eye-catching.
A pattern resembling a hoof.
And this was the symbol of the World Nobles, the "Nine Heavens Soaring Dragon Hoof Print."
"Xiao Tian, go down," Ye Chen commanded the Sky Dragon.
The several-hundred-meter-long dragon body descended, its enormous frame instantly eclipsing the sky, casting the dock into shadow.
"What kind of monster is this?"
"It's a dragon..."
"What's it going to do?"
The people on the dock were terrified at the sight of the god-like Sky Dragon, their faces pale with fear. Some of the more timid ones even sat directly on the ground, their eyes filled with terror.
"Who is in charge of the Celestial Tribute here?"
Just as everyone was in fear, a voice came from the Sky Dragon's body.
"I am!" a fat, big-eared man on one of the Celestial Tribute ships quickly shouted.
"Xiao Tian, go to that ship," Ye Chen said, pointing at the fat, big-eared man.
"Roar," the Sky Dragon growled, swaying its body, and instantly arrived at the Celestial Tribute ship.
The Sky Dragon lowered its head. Ye Chen sat on the Sky Dragon's head, scanning the surroundings, his gaze finally settling on the fat, big-eared man who had just spoken. He said, "Are you the person in charge of the Celestial Tribute?"
"I am Hass, the person responsible for this transport," Hass said, a flicker of surprise in his eyes when he saw Ye Chen. He hadn't expected the person controlling such a colossal creature as the Sky Dragon to be so small.
He had originally thought it would be a renowned great pirate, but the discrepancy was too great, and a hint of contempt flashed in Hass's eyes.
Ye Chen naturally noticed Hass's disdain, but his immediate priority was to rescue Hancock.
"Hand over the three little girls you snatched from the Kuja Pirates a few days ago," Ye Chen said straightforwardly, wasting no words.
"So, he's here to retrieve people."
Hass's heart was clear. He had indeed snatched three little girls this time, and they were currently in the ship's cabin. But there was no way they would hand them over.
Once they fell into their hands, they would never be returned.
"There are no little girls you speak of here. I think you've made a mistake," Hass said, no longer hiding his impatience when he heard Ye Chen was there for people.
Once on their ship, they belonged to the World Nobles. How could they be handed over?
Relying on the World Nobles' name, Hass confidently believed that Ye Chen wouldn't dare do anything to him.
But was that possible?
"Xiao Tian, kill him!" Ye Chen couldn't be bothered to talk to him any further. There were so many people on the Celestial Tribute, killing one would be killing a chicken to warn the monkeys. He didn't believe that everyone else on the Celestial Tribute would be so stubborn.
Hearing this, the Sky Dragon swiped a claw directly at Hass.
With a bang, Hass was instantly crushed by Xiao Tian's claw, his red and white remains splattering across the deck.
The Celestial Tribute crew members, seeing Hass reduced to fragments, were instantly horrified, their faces deathly pale. Some of the more cowardly ones even sat on the deck, wetting their pants.
They hadn't expected anyone to actually dare to attack them.
They were the Celestial Tribute, after all, bearing the flag of the World Nobles.
Even great pirates with bounties in the hundreds of millions wouldn't dare to intercept them, letting them pass freely.
"Someone else step up," Ye Chen said calmly from atop Xiao Tian's head.
About three minutes passed, and no one answered. Ye Chen said impatiently, "I don't want to say it again. Is there anyone else in charge of the Celestial Tribute? If not, everyone will be buried with that man."
"Sir... I am the vice-captain of this transport," a thin man stepped forward, his voice trembling.
Ye Chen looked over and said, "Hand over the three little girls from the Kuja Pirates."
"Sir, I've already instructed the men below to do so." The thin man, having seen Ye Chen kill Hass without a second thought, no longer dared to be so defiant.
Are you kidding? This man in front of him was a ruthless killer; he wouldn't dare to joke with his own life.
"You're quite sensible compared to that Hass," Ye Chen chuckled. "By the way, do you have any Devil Fruits on your ship?"
"Yes, yes... We have three Devil Fruits. They were tributes from several countries before," the thin man's heart was about to burst into tears. At the same time, he didn't dare to lie to Ye Chen, fearing that Ye Chen would be displeased and kill him.
He also harbored deep resentment towards Hass. He could tell that Ye Chen initially only wanted to retrieve the three little girls, but now he also wanted Devil Fruits.
Every country's tribute had a list. If the items were not as listed, they would be held accountable. And with Hass dead, the responsibility would definitely fall on him.
