After two days of drifting in the waters near the Calm Belt, Andy only started heading to Lingyu Kingdom after Carifa of Lingyu Kingdom received confirmed intelligence that the Celestial Dragon was about to arrive.
Lingyu Kingdom is a country in the South Sea that primarily trades in bird feathers, with nearly a hundred species of birds of various colors on the island.
Most importantly, these feathers are very warm and are favored by people in some cold regions, especially those on the winter islands of the Grand Line.
The birds here shed their feathers twice a year, and people use the shed feathers to make various down jackets or cloaks.
Especially the cloaks, there is a very precious bird feather on the island, which people call Emperor Feather.
Clothes and cloaks made from Emperor Feather are the favorites of kings of various countries, as well as some influential people on the sea.
Lingyu Kingdom is also a World Government affiliated country, but it is an affiliated country without the qualification to participate in the World Conference.
This visit by the Celestial Dragon made everyone in Lingyu Kingdom very excited, and the entire country prepared for a month in advance to welcome the Celestial Dragon's arrival.
During this month, everyone was involved in the preparations to welcome the Celestial Dragon, especially the welcoming ceremony, where everyone except the king had to kneel.
No one objected to this point.
In their perception, Celestial Dragons are world nobles, gods, and descendants of the Creator!
How could they not be excited when a god descends upon their country!
The king was also very excited; he never expected a Celestial Dragon to descend upon their country, which was an opportunity for him.
An opportunity to elevate his status on the sea!
----
Before the Celestial Dragon arrived, Andy and a few others landed in Lingyu Kingdom first, but they didn't choose to land by boat; instead, Andy flew to Lingyu Kingdom with the women.
After Carifa gave everyone a slight makeup touch-up, the group swaggered into the bustling city.
Upon entering the city, as expected, everywhere they looked, there were traces of birds; the shops on both sides of the street had countless bird-related products.
"Big Brother Andy, how about we go eat first? I'm so hungry~" As soon as they entered the city, Bonney couldn't wait to eat.
Because of her Devil Fruit ability, she needs a lot of energy to support her stamina, and over the past two days, everyone had witnessed Bonney's terrifying appetite.
And after two days of getting along, Bonney seemed to no longer be afraid of Andy, even daring to joke with him at times.
This made Princess Tia tremble with fear.
"Disrespectful." Andy turned his head, and said to Bonney with a stern face, "How many times have I told you, you need to call me Uncle!"
"Okay, Big Brother." Bonney stared at Andy with innocent eyes; she just wouldn't change.
Seeing this, Tia covered her mouth and chuckled, her plump body trembling slightly, making her very alluring in her simple elegant dress.
"Let's go, let's go, before the 500 million arrives, let's go eat first." Andy didn't want to argue with Bonney anymore.
"Yay! Time to eat!" Bonney was very happy.
Then the five of them found a good restaurant in the city and directly booked it, asking the chefs to fully supply them with food.
Initially, the restaurant owner thought the guests were joking, until the first cart of dishes was served, and he was instantly dumbfounded...
An entire cart of food was instantly devoured in one minute, especially that little girl; her appetite was too terrifying!
No wonder these guests wanted to book the entire restaurant.
The restaurant owner immediately instructed the kitchen, telling the chefs to give their 120% effort to this cooking session.
"Alright, everyone, this is a very serious challenge; we must not let the guests look down on us!" The head chef shouted seriously.
"Oh! We will never lose!" The chefs immediately responded, they were incredibly happy and full of vigor.
It was their greatest happiness that the food they made was enjoyed by the guests!
An hour later, Andy and the others ate their fill, paid the bill, and these chefs directly collapsed in the kitchen from exhaustion.
Each of them was muttering, "Too terrifying..."
After Andy and the others had eaten their fill, they walked out of the restaurant, and Carifa and the others suggested going shopping; she wanted to see what kind of stockings they had there.
Although Andy really wanted to see Carifa try on stockings, he declined the shopping trip, so Andy left on his own, while Carifa and the others smiled and began their shopping spree.
----
It was noon, and almost tens of thousands of people from the entire country gathered at the port, waiting for the Celestial Dragon to arrive.
From the port shore, an impeccably clean carpet stretched all the way to the royal palace, and on both sides of the road were commoners holding various flowers and gifts.
They wanted to give what they considered the best gifts to the Celestial Dragon.
"Alas... As happy and excited as they are now, they will be just as despairing and terrified in a moment." From the rooftop of a building, Andy watched the scene at the port with interest.
Just as everyone was eagerly anticipating, a large ship flying the World Government flag slowly emerged from the horizon.
This ship was extremely conspicuous, with a large World Government emblem on its foremost sail, appearing particularly dazzling under the sunlight.
The ship's bow was sculpted into the majestic form of a lion, with a gleaming golden crown on its head, symbolizing supreme authority.
As soon as the large ship came into view, the entire port instantly ignited, with cheers and shouts rising and falling, soaring into the sky.
The commoners vigorously waved the flowers and gifts in their hands, shouting at the top of their lungs to welcome the Celestial Dragon to their country.
However...
The scene on the ship was completely different from this fervent atmosphere.
Charlamako Saint, dressed in unique attire and wearing a transparent bubble helmet, frowned deeply into a 'river' shape upon hearing the deafening cheers, his face filled with displeasure.
"Someone!" he shouted angrily.
A CP Agent, dressed in a black suit and black sunglasses, quickly appeared before Charlamako Saint, bowing slightly and asking respectfully, "Charlamako Saint, do you have any orders?"
"These flies are too noisy; make them quiet." Charlamako Saint's eyes were cold, and his tone was full of disdain and disgust.
"Yes, Charlamako Saint." The CP Agent responded softly.
Immediately after, he gently waved his hand towards the guards not far away.
Several guards quickly took action, turning the ship's cannons and aiming their dark muzzles at the dense crowd on the shore.
The commoners on the shore were a bit confused; why had the Celestial Dragon's ship slowed down?
At this instant, sharp whistling sounds cut through the sky, like the roar of the Grim Reaper, flying rapidly towards the shore.
A second or two later, terrifyingly powerful bombs, carrying immense energy, crashed heavily into the crowd.
With a loud "Boom!", the bombs exploded violently in the densely packed crowd, with flames soaring and smoke billowing.
The people at the center of the bomb's explosion didn't even have time to let out a scream before being directly blown into pieces, with severed limbs and broken arms flying everywhere.
The powerful air blast generated by the explosion, like an invisible giant hand, instantly sent the surrounding crowd flying backward.
At this moment, the people on the shore were instantly enveloped in fear, their smiles frozen, replaced by endless terror.
The Celestial Dragon was actually firing cannons at them!
In an instant, shrill screams and desperate cries for help intertwined, and the entire port plunged into chaos.
Seeing this scene on the shore, Charlamako Saint happily danced and gesticulated; he felt that this sound was much more pleasant than the previous one!
