The Sabaody Archipelago, located in the middle of the Red Line, is formed by 79 enormous trees, each assigned a number. Among them stands the world's largest mangrove tree, the "Yarukiman Mangrove."
The entire archipelago is made up of 79 trees, and each tree has towns and facilities. People call this archipelago of 79 islands the "Sabaody Archipelago."
The division of areas within the Sabaody Archipelago is also very clear, based on the numbers on the trees:
Numbers 1 to 29 are illegal zones, including human trafficking shops;
Numbers 30 to 39 are amusement parks;
Numbers 40 to 49 are tourist areas, selling local specialties;
Numbers 50 to 59 are shipyards, with coating craftsmen;
Numbers 60 to 69 are entry/exit zones for the Marines and the government;
Numbers 70 to 79 are the hotel district and other areas.
Among them, the Sabaody Archipelago is very close to Marine Headquarters. The World Nobles, known as Celestial Dragons, rule here, and many Celestial Dragons reside in this place.
The greatest feature of the Sabaody Archipelago is the special natural resin secreted from the roots of the Yarukiman Mangrove due to respiration. The resin expands in the air to form bubbles, which then float into the sky. However, these bubbles are only suitable for the Yarukiman Mangrove's climatic range. Once a bubble leaves the Sabaody Archipelago's climate zone, the resin components will explode as they can no longer fully exert their power.
Bubble cars, bubble Ferris wheels, houses built on bubbles... bubble culture permeates every corner of Sabaody Archipelago!
The Sabaody Archipelago possesses a culture completely different from the outside world, but because it connects to the latter half of the Grand Line, it is also what people call the "New World."
As this place is a necessary passage to the New World, it is a mixed bag of individuals: Marines, pirates, mountain bandits, bounty hunters, and so on.
Ye Chen's purpose in coming to the Sabaody Archipelago this time was to fence the loot, specifically, the treasures stolen from the Heavenly Tribute ships.
And if he wanted to sell these items, the only place was Islands 1 to 29, which were the illegal zones tacitly approved by the Celestial Dragons.
Sabaody Archipelago, Island 8, in front of the Number 76 Auction House. A young man dressed ordinarily, with a snake-like object coiled around his neck, stood at the entrance.
This person was Ye Chen.
"Number 76 Auction House should be here," Ye Chen murmured, looking at the auction house building's flag, which was imprinted with the number 76.
The Number 76 Auction House was the largest auction house in the entire Sabaody Archipelago, and also the largest human trafficking organization on the archipelago. Furthermore, the Number 76 Auction House was an auction house under the Celestial Dragons, making it an illegal organization operating under the World Government.
"The so-called World Government, which advocates justice, secretly harbors a group of human traffickers. This is truly ironic." A hint of disdain flashed in Ye Chen's eyes.
However, thinking that the Heavenly Tribute openly dared to abduct people, it was normal for them to have a human trafficking organization secretly.
However, the auction house Granny Nyon recommended was not Number 76, but another auction house on this island, an auction house belonging to a New World pirate.
Because Granny Nyon clearly knew that if the Heavenly Tribute items were given to the Number 76 Auction House, the people there would definitely recognize them.
Ye Chen's choice of Number 76 this time also had a reason. Since he wanted to make a big splash, he naturally wasn't afraid of the Celestial Dragons knowing.
And the Celestial Dragons probably wouldn't even guess it. Ye Chen had just robbed their goods a while ago, and now he dared to bring the items here to fence them. Such an arrogant play, Ye Chen was probably the only one in the entire world bold enough to do it.
.....
Inside the Number 76 Auction House, a middle-aged man who appeared to be about forty years old sat on a chair, looking at Ye Chen with a puzzled expression.
The person in charge had told him this was a big client, but the person before him was just a child.
Although the middle-aged man had doubts, he still spoke to Ye Chen: "Your items for sale."
"How much can you take?" Ye Chen asked softly.
The middle-aged man showed a hint of pride: "Any amount."
"Good." Ye Chen nodded, then patted Xiao Tian: "Xiao Tian, spit it out."
Xiao Tian, coiled around Ye Chen's neck, slowly opened his eyes, raised his head, and opened his mouth, revealing a black void.
Instantly, countless gold and silver treasures tumbled out, clattering onto the ground.
Before long, countless gold and silver treasures filled the entire room.
The middle-aged man's mouth hung open, his eyes wide, his face filled with shock.
He had been an appraiser at the Number 76 Auction House for over a decade, but he had never witnessed such a scene.
"A user of the Warp-Warp Fruit?" the middle-aged man mused.
"Appraise them," Ye Chen said calmly, his expression normal, looking at the middle-aged man.
He was accustomed to the middle-aged man's shock. After all, when he first learned of Xiao Tian's abilities, his reaction wasn't much different.
He originally thought it only had the Lightning Blast, but Osiris the Sky Dragon, as one of the Three Gods of the world, couldn't possibly have only these abilities.
To obtain Xiao Tian's other abilities, Ye Chen had spent two Devil Fruits to learn from the system.
"The Crown of the Lance Kingdom."
"The Royal Sword Authority of the Melan Kingdom, these..." The middle-aged man's eyes grew wider with shock as he continuously recognized the treasures on the ground.
"These are all tribute items from the Heavenly Tribute ships!" The middle-aged man gasped, suddenly realizing that the young man standing before him might be Dragon Knight Ye Chen, who had recently plundered the Heavenly Tribute.
