Karn sat on the water hyacinth.

Out of thin air.

Fall on the Chambord Islands.

Open your eyes.

Look up.

In mid-air, there are bubbles that emit a charming color under the sunlight.

There are bubbles everywhere.

Until the bubbles rise to more than the height of the mangroves.

will dissipate.

Just as a fountain cannot rise above its source.

The most distinctive feature of the Chambord Islands is that the roots of the Archian mangrove tree secrete a special natural resin due to respiration, which expands into bubbles due to the air and then flies into the sky.

Since the bubbles are only suitable for the climate range of the mangrove trees in Yarki, once the bubbles are out of the climatic realm of the Chambord Islands, the resin components will not be able to use their full power and explode.

Bubble cars, bubble wheels, houses built on bubbles, this unique bubble culture permeates every part of Chambord Island.

is quite a stake.

The Chambord Islands are a well-known island known as the amusement park of children's dreams.

It is widely spread on the sea.

The island is located in front of the Red Earth Continent in the middle of the Great Shipping Route.

The island is made up of many large trees, and the ground is the root of the tree, and bubbles bubble from the ground.

Near the headquarters of the Navy, there is the world's largest mangrove tree, the Archiman Mangrove, whose roots remain exposed to the water, forming the Chambord Islands.

Karn walked on the Chambord Islands.

Occasionally, there was a shrill burst of laughter.

His gaze swept around.

Most of them have gloomy eyes, revealing tiredness, greed and depression that cannot be concealed.

"Welcome to the Chambord Islands, a paradise for children's dreams."

Karn came to a tattered signboard.

Looking at the signboard crumbling in the wind, he read the words on the signboard with a blank face.

Then, get up and leave.

It's ironic.

The real state of the Chambord Islands is rather bad.

Since it was the only way to the New World, it was home to many pirates, merchants, and bounty hunters

The number of traffickers is quite high.

On this island, the buying and selling of humans, merfolk and fish-people are tacitly accepted, and the auction is a public auction of slaves, and the Draconians often come to participate in the auction.

The Rocks Pirates captured the Draconians, and they were basically caught from the Chambord Islands.

In the anime, the focus is mainly on the Straw Hats, who seem to be happy, but if you look closely, you can see that this island is simply the biggest crime paradise of the Great Route.

"Did you just see that?"

"Are you crazy? That's a sea thief with a bounty of 500 million! ”

"Hahaha! After this vote, we have enough for our whole life, follow behind others, there must be people who can't help it, we can follow behind, maybe we can pick up the leak. ”

Karn inquired slightly.

The island is made up of 79 trees, each with towns and facilities, divided into 1 to 79, and the archipelago of these 79 islands is called the "Chambord Islands".

Nos. 1 to 29 are illegal areas, mainly dealing in human trafficking and slave auctions.

The gains are quite substantial, and the profits are horribly large.

Half a day later.

Karn stopped at a place in the Chambord Islands.

No. 28 of the lawless zone.

There were corpses all around.

Not a single intact body remained.

Mercy?

Inexistent.

Since he dared to risk his life to kill him, he had to be prepared to be killed, and Karn didn't want to face waves of fools who had made up their minds about him.

Kill these 'bounty hunters' until they are afraid.

Most of the 'bounty hunters' in the Chambord Islands have another identity, they are slave traders, specializing in helping the big people catch all kinds of slaves to earn extra money.

Karn tore a piece of clothing from a corpse and wiped his sword.

His eyes are extraordinarily calm.

He has long been accustomed to this world where there are many fools, and his subordinates are merciful, and if they don't kill this group of fools, they will be even more unscrupulous, using all kinds of means, just for profit.

Among the Straw Hats, I'm afraid that Sauron will be ruthless enough to kill these bounty hunters.

Won't play killers.

Not to mention 300 million, 500 million sea thieves, even the admiral will be targeted by a group of subordinates.

They can't beat you, they focus on your weaknesses.

"Who's the most informed, on this island?" Karn asked coldly, wiping his sword.

Some bounty hunters with okay strength or good luck, who temporarily survived the massacre just now, heard this sentence and rushed to answer for a while.

"My lord, there is a young woman named Xia Qi on the island, who has very good intelligence, and is likely to be the most well-informed person on the island, you must believe me!"

Karn stopped wiping his sword, threw away his clothes, and smiled coldly.

An icy aura emanated.

The moment when the fruit ability is activated.

There was only one person left on the field.

The rest of the people have no breath of life at all, and they have become dried corpses, and all the life elements in their bodies are scattered on the island, which can be regarded as the last shining heat for this world, and will not be like useless garbage.

"Lead the way."

“…… Yes, card...... Master Karn. ”

One person who survived.

Sweating.

His legs kept shaking, and his instinct for survival made him lift his feet with difficulty.

The body kept trembling and walked away.

Go faster and faster.

It didn't take long for them to arrive at their destination.

"Big ...... My lord, the front is where Xia Qi often stays. ”

The man pointed to a house not far away.

Karn knew the answer.

In the man's relieved gaze, he twisted his neck.

One move is deadly.

Karn didn't promise the man his life.

There is no need to let go.

Look for trouble.

This is supposed to be the future bar called 'Xia Qi's Bamboo Bar'.

Ready so early?

He stepped forward and pushed the door open.

Walked in.

Bar counter.

Lying on her stomach was a woman with a nice figure, black hair, and a cigarette in her hand.

She is the former intelligence agent of the Rocks Pirates

—Xia Qi

"Phew~ Karn, you're faster than I thought."

Xia Qi had no surprise in her eyes, and poured a glass of wine for the visitor.

"I want news of the Roger Pirates."

Karn placed his sword on the bar.

Xia Qi glanced at the sword and recognized it as Wang Zhi's sword.

He sighed slightly.

She shook her head and said, "I've been out of touch with Reilly for a long time, and even if I knew, I wouldn't be able to sell you the specific information of the Roger Pirates, you are not Roger's opponent at all." ”

"It seems that your relationship with Reilly is not as good as I thought?"

"My relationship with Reilly is a bit complicated, and my relationship with Locks is a bit complicated." Xia Qi's eyes were melancholy and sad.

Karn disagreed.

Complex relationships?

It can be explained in one sentence.

The man who wanted to be better did not succeed and was forced to choose a spare tire.

Xia Qi took out a match, lit a cigarette in his hand, and asked, "Do you want one?" ”

“……”

Karn drank his drink.

Xia Qi put away the cigarette she was about to smoke, "I've never betrayed the Rocks Pirates. ”

Karn said coldly, "This is the reason why you didn't die under my sword, and why you survived to this day. ”

"Looks like you're not going to kill me?"

"This is the letter that Locks left you, you should be able to read it."

Karn took out a note that Locks had left in the conference room before attacking the Valley of the Gods, and shoehorned it into himself, "You're lucky, you won't have such good luck next time, don't let me hear that you're in contact with the Roger Pirates again." ”

Karn snorted and disappeared into the bar.

Xia Qi looked at a crumpled note on the bar, and reached out tremblingly to open the note.

The words on it are ugly.

It's Locks' handwriting.

Karn, you kid is very wild, Xia Qi is the intelligence officer of our pirates, I know important people very well, she will not betray our pirates.

If they meet in the future, no matter what she is doing, leave her alive.

She was our former partner.

Isn't it?

Give me a little face, the captain.

Xia Qi.

Thank you for taking care of you all these years.

"Luo ...... Captain Locks...... Hahaha...... I...... I really don't want to be a pirate, but I'm doing well on your ship, if you're willing to accept me......"

Xia Qi finished reading the letter and smiled with a smile.

She suddenly fell on the bar.

Crying bitterly.
