In a certain sea area of the Grand Line, a small boat slowly moved forward. The boat was tiny, only able to accommodate two or three people, and on it sat a boy of about fourteen. The boy had delicate features, seemingly harmless and naive.
The vast sea, the small boat, and the boy appeared incredibly tiny in the immense ocean. The only striking thing was a red, dragon-like creature wrapped around the boy's neck. And this boy was Ye Chen.
After learning that Lysa had been kidnapped, Ye Chen immediately rode Osiris towards the Sabaody Archipelago the next day. After two round trips, Osiris was very familiar with the route to the Sabaody Archipelago. However, since this trip was to rescue someone, Ye Chen didn't want to be too conspicuous, so he had Osiris stop not far from the Sabaody Archipelago. Ye Chen looked at the vast sea, and a wave of drowsiness washed over him. "Wake me up if anything happens. I'm going to sleep first." Ye Chen finished speaking and lay down on the small boat, closing his eyes.
Osiris extended his head, looking in all directions. The small boat slowly moved forward, appearing incredibly tiny in the vast ocean. Time flowed like sand through one's fingers, unconsciously slipping away. While Ye Chen was sleeping, a Marine warship slowly advanced in the distance, gradually approaching him.
"Master Zephyr, we've spotted a small boat in the distance." A Marine soldier on the warship said to Zephyr, who was standing not far away. Zephyr, a former Marine Admiral, was the current Chief Instructor of the Marine Academy. He wore black sunglasses and had spiky purple hair. Zephyr's eyebrows slightly furrowed: "Is there anything on the small boat?" "It's too far away; we can only see a blurry figure." Zephyr heard this, thought for a moment, then ordered: "Approach the small boat. If it's someone in distress, we can give them a ride." "Yes!"
At Zephyr's command, the warship advanced at full speed towards Ye Chen's small boat. Soon, the warship was no more than three hundred meters away from Ye Chen's small boat. "Master Zephyr, I see clearly now, it's a child." The Marine soldier replied. "A child, huh? Take him aboard," Zephyr said.
...
"Roar, roar, roar." Osiris, seeing the approaching Marine warship, roared softly into Ye Chen's ear. As the warship continuously approached, Ye Chen still hadn't woken up. Osiris was a bit anxious and was about to revert to his original form. But just as he was about to revert, Ye Chen suddenly opened his eyes.
Ye Chen rubbed his eyes and asked Osiris, "What happened?" Osiris extended his claw and pointed at the Marine warship, which was quickly approaching them. The Marine warship was only about a hundred meters away from them. "It's the Marines!" A slight curve appeared on Ye Chen's face as he looked at the nearby Marine warship. He had tried not to be discovered, yet he encountered the Marines in the vast ocean. The probability...
"Boy over there, come aboard. We'll take you to the Sabaody Archipelago." A Marine soldier on the deck shouted to Ye Chen. Ye Chen's expression was a bit strange. He had just become a Marine target, and only half a month later, a Marine was inviting him aboard and offering him a ride. This, this, this... The thought made Ye Chen unable to help but laugh. "Are you sure you want to take me?" Ye Chen asked, suppressing a smile, towards the warship. The Marine listened, then frowned, not quite understanding Ye Chen's words. "What's wrong?" Zephyr walked over and asked. "Master Zephyr, that boy is asking if we're sure we want to take him." "Tell him yes, and have him board the ship," Zephyr said. "Yes."
...
"Come aboard," the Marine soldier said. Ye Chen heard this and smiled, shaking his head. He hadn't expected a Marine to actually invite him onto their ship. But since they had already spoken, there was no reason not to board. "Osiris, let's go. We're getting on that ship," Ye Chen said, pointing to the Marine warship. Osiris heard this, and immediately his body glowed red, his form instantly expanding dramatically. Carrying Ye Chen, he charged towards the Marine warship.
"This, this, this." The Marine soldier's mouth fell open, his face filled with disbelief. As Osiris appeared, all the soldiers on the warship were stunned. Before they could react, Ye Chen had already landed on the warship. Zephyr trembled when he saw Osiris. Armament Haki instantly wrapped around his hand, and in an instant, he crossed ten meters and punched towards Ye Chen.
"Bang." Zephyr's fist was blocked by Osiris's claw, and a dull sound immediately rang out, a wave of air dispersing from around the two. "You invited me here, and now you're attacking me. Is this your welcome? Or is this what you Marines call justice?" Ye Chen said, narrowing his eyes. "A Marine ship never welcomes pirates," Zephyr said, then paused for a moment: "Marine justice is to eliminate all pirates."
